Call for Abstracts
DBDBD 2026 brings together researchers and practitioners to present and discuss recent advances in databases and database-related areas. Submissions will be presented as posters, and a selection will be invited for oral presentations. We invite submissions (1-page abstracts) on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Data storage, indexing, and management: advanced methods for structuring, organizing, and maintaining large and heterogeneous data collections.
- Database theory and models: formal foundations of data models, query languages, semantics, and expressive power.
- Performance and scalability: algorithms, hardware-acceleration, modern architectures, and query optimization techniques under demanding workloads.
- Data integration and quality: methodologies for schema matching, entity resolution, data cleaning, and reconciliation across diverse sources.
- Knowledge discovery and learning: approaches to data mining, graph processing, information retrieval, and machine learning over structured data.
- Security, privacy, and governance: mechanisms for safeguarding data, access control, provenance, differential privacy, and compliance.
- Big data and stream analytics: principles, platforms, stateful stream processing, and distributed architectures for high-throughput data.
- Interdisciplinary intersections: interactions between databases and fields such as artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs), quantum data systems, and domain-specific applications.
Based on the submissions, the workshop will be organized into sessions that highlight particular themes.
DBDBD has a tradition of favouring presentations by junior researchers, making it an excellent opportunity to share ongoing work and receive valuable feedback from the Dutch-Belgian database community.
The submission deadline has been extended to 13 November 2026. Notification of acceptance will follow on 16 November 2026, and the registration deadline is now 18 November 2026.

Submission Guidelines
We solicit single-page abstracts of either published work or research in progress. Each submission should contain:
- The title of the presentation;
- The name and affiliation of the prospective speaker;
- An abstract of the presentation;
- Reference(s) to papers covered by the proposed presentation.
The format is a one-page PDF document (including references), prepared according to the official DBDBD 2026 LaTeX template:
