and others. ADVIS 2006 aims at bringing together researchers in
different fields of Information Systems who have a common interest in
interdisciplinary research. The Conference will provide a forum for the
presentation and exchange of current research results, original IS
applications as well as bridging research and development in various
fields of Information Systems.
Papers presenting original research results and original
implementations in the topics of interest listed below are solicited.
We strongly encourage submission of papers bridging the research in
different fields and promoting mutual exchange and understanding of
cross-field research results.
CONFERENCE TOPICS

* Professor Ozkarahan was one of the pioneers of database machine
research as well as the founder of database systems research in Turkey.
Moreover, his studies centered on database machines to which he made
significant contributions. Professor Ozkarahan is well known for his
pioneering work on the RAP (Relational Associative Processor) database
machine. He designed RAP to provide hardware implementations of
relational databases. RAP includes all the relational algebra
operations, and an implicit form of the semi join operation that later
became the cornerstone of query optimization in relational databases.
Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Esen Ozkarahan and working
with him will always remember his great vision, eminent achievements,
and generous friendship.
