Message from the DEXA 2012 Conference Program Chairs

The Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA) conference is thought as a platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and opinions among the theoretical researchers and practitioners-those who are defining requirements for the future systems in the areas of database and artificial technologies. The DEXA workshop papers are primarily concerned with very specialised topics on applications of database and expert systems technology. We want to thank all workshop organisers for their excellent work. This is the fifteenth time that DEXA workshop papers have been published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS), IEEE Computer Society. The cooperation with CPS has been very good, and we anticipate that cooperation to continue in the following years.
