A Statistic Study for the ADBIS Period 1994-2006

The Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS) was initiated by the Moscow ACM SIGMOD chapter, and started in 1993 as a mainly Russian national event. Since then, it has been morphed into a high-quality internationally visible scientific forum in the area of the databases and information systems. The key aim of ADBIS is to diffuse state-of-the-art research results into the research communities of Central and East Europe and to increase their opportunities for international scientific collaboration. This report summarizes statistic measures on historic data since 1994, which relate to several criteria such as acceptance ratios and academic impact as well as other criteria related to the ADBIS penetration into European and other geographical communities or its role as a catalyst for international collaboration. The raw data have been collected from the ADBIS proceedings (Springer Verlag WiC and LNCS series, as well as local ones), the SIGMOD Anthology, the Database and Logic Programming (DBLP) website and the google.scholar.com website. Several interesting outcomes have been derived and some thoughts for future evolution of the ADBIS success are being reported.
