The conference aims at developing a synergy between database researchers, developers, and application designers. It is intended as a forum to explore innovative applications of databases, and innovative database services for specific applications. New applications are the driving force for the evolution of database technology. Applicability is the ultimate test for the numerous ideas debated at database technology conferences. The conference is organized in cooperation with and sponsored by major professional organizations. It features twenty-eight regular papers selected from one hundred submissions, three distinguished invited speakers, three tutorials, and three panels. Every paper session ends with a ten minute overall discussion of the presented material. The conference will also provide facilities for Birds-of-a-feather workshops on unscheduled topics. These workshops will be instigated by participants who want to get together with others interested in a specific issue. The conference will be located in a magnificent former monastery originally built as a Royal palace in 1258. It is the oldest secular building in Sweden located in the beautiful medieval town of Vadstena, with cobbled streets, old houses, an ancient Abbey, and another magnificent 16th century fortified Royal castle. The social program of ADB-94 includes an ethnic Swedish midsummer dinner and a banquet in the `Kings Hall' with medieval entertainment followed by a midnight concert in the Abbey. The conference is followed by a reception at Linkoping University hosted by the Computer Science Department, the largest CS Dept. in Sweden. June 21st is the longest day of the year, when there is some light all night in Vadstena and midnight sun in northern Sweden. June/July is about the best time for vacations in Scandinavia. Welcome to ADB-94!
