The main principle of this workshop series is to focus on one selected theme different from year to year, and to offer the opportunity for in-depth exchange of ideas and experiences between the best database researchers in the area. This year research papers on the Foundations of Models for Information Integration are solicited.
Papers emphasising foundations of emerging topics within the theme are especially welcome.
The proceedings will be printed by Springer-Verlag within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Participation to the workshop will be by invitation based on the review process of submitted papers. The workshop will take place in Viterbo , one of the most famous medieval towns of Italy. Still enclosed within its walls, Viterbo has preserved a medieval appearance surprisingly unaltered and is even more colourful due to the survival of the ancient artisan traditions. Churches, edifices, towers, fountains, and the quarter of Saint Pellegrino, are all immersed together with its ancient construction of rock in an extraordinary captivating atmosphere.
