14th International Conference on

Database and Expert Systems Applications
DEXA 2003
http://www.dexa.org

September 1-5, 2003

The aim of DEXA 2003 is to present both research contributions in the area of data base and expert systems and a large spectrum of already implemented or just being developed applications. DEXA will offer the opportunity to extensively discuss requirements, problems, and solutions in the field. The workshop and conference should inspire a fruitful dialogue between developers in practice, users of database and expert systems, and scientists working in the field.
