This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems ADBIS 2002, held in Bratislava, Slovakia in September 2002.
The 25 revised full papers and 4 short papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 115 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on data mining and knowledge discovery, mobile databases, spatiotemporal and spatial databases, multidimensional databases and information systems, object-oriented and deductive databases, data modeling and workfows, Web databases and semistructured data, and advanced systems and applications.
