The objective of the conference is to revisit faceted analytical theory as a method for (re)constructing modern classifications and indexing languages and the role analytico-synthetic classifications have had in resource discovery and retrieval, from their introduction at the beginning of the 20th century to date. The conference will examine the challenges analytico-synthetic classifications represent for data modelling and interface design in the Web environment. Most importantly, it will explore potential fields of application for faceted classifications in information organization, visualization and presentation of large datasets, social networks and in the open linked data environment. High quality and innovative contributions are invited for the following topics: - The impact of faceted analytical theory and research on modern classification and indexing languages; - Data modelling, data management and data sharing of faceted and analytico-synthetic classifications; - Vocabulary mapping, semantic linking and natural language interfacing of analytico-synthetic systems; - Applications of faceted analytical theory on (re)constructing knowledge classifications and indexing languages; - End user interface design and user-friendly knowledge presentation for faceted systems; - Novel applications of faceted systems outside the bibliographic domain. CONTRIBUTIONS: Two kinds of contributions are invited: conference papers and posters. Authors should submit a paper proposal in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words, including references, for papers; and 500-600 words for posters). The submission form is provided on the conference website. Proposals will be reviewed by the Programme Committee consisting of an international panel of experts. Each submission will undergo a blind review by at least three reviewers. The Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed at the conference. Best papers will be proposed for publishing in the Knowledge Organization journal.

The conference is run in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference. The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by a discussion with senior researchers. ELIGIBILITY We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the DC. SUBMISSIONS To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of graduation. The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogU2Vjb25kIENhbGwgZm9yIERvY3RvcmFsIENvbnNvcnRpdW0JMTAzCUxpc3RzCTIxNAljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fcomputer%2Flncs%3FSGWID%3D0-164-2-793332-0%29 and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogU2Vjb25kIENhbGwgZm9yIERvY3RvcmFsIENvbnNvcnRpdW0JMTAzCUxpc3RzCTIxNAljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcmt3.research.microsoft.com%2FADBISDC2017.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts.

Digital libraries are complex systems that respond to the needs of multiple communities with escalating requirements. Undoubtedly the effect of big data in research and development is immense and their collection, aggregation, analysis and interpretation is currently the main trend. However, smaller developments are equally interesting in giving the example of managing highly structured and organised information resources. In this series of conferences, the dialectic between theory and practice is intense, but always aims to produce a state of the art imagery of digital libraries, or else networked information systems that affect the life of academia, education, culture, society and industry. The components of this ?machinery? are interconnected and claim the skills and knowledge of multidisciplinary researchers. # Topics # Contributions are welcomed in the following eight tracks, some of which are addressed as Special Tracks. However, submissions are not limited to the topics included in these tracks, neither it is implied that one paper is associated with one topic. 1.
