The main objective of the ADBIS series of conferences is to provide a forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and to promote interaction and collaboration between the database and information system research communities from European countries and the rest of the world. The ADBIS conferences provide an international platform for the presentation of research on database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications. The 21st edition of the conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. Nicosia (or Leukosia) is the largest city on the island of Cyprus. It is the capital and seat of the government of the Republic of Cyprus, and as such is the farthest south-east of all EU member states' capitals.
