Call For Papers
DEXA 2026 (International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications) is a CCF C / CORE B / QUALIS B1 conference held in Graz, Austria on 2026-08-11. The paper submission deadline is 2026-03-15. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-05-15.
Scope
Data engineering and data analytics have been important R&D areas for years, with applications in multiple sectors (e.g., finance, energy, manufacturing, health care, security), but there still exist unsolved research and technological issues. Data engineering techniques are widely applied to store and manage data. New types of highly heterogeneous data of large volumes (referred to as big data) created every second, require a continuous development of new techniques to handle these new types of data. On the one hand, more and more frequently, these techniques need to be supported by Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, commonly called Artificial Intelligence (AI). These algorithms allow to provide solutions for difficult data management problems. Moreover, data science and data analytics rely on AI in the process of discovering dependency patterns, building complex prediction models, and processing natural language. On the other hand, data engineering techniques are indispensable for pre-processing data for AI. Thus, worlds of AI, data engineering, and data analytics are strongly interconnected.
Since 1990, DEXA has been an annual international conference which showcases state-of-the-art research activities in databases, data integration, advanced data anlytics, and knowledge systems. With the recent advances of big data and ML/AI DEXA covers these broad topics as well, to provide a forum to present research results and to examine advanced applications in the field. The conference and its associated workshops offer an opportunity for developers, scientists, and users to extensively discuss requirements, problems, and solutions in standard and just emerging research and technological topics on data and knowledge management.
