§16§The 12th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications (DASFAA), organized jointly by the Asian Institute of Technology, National Electronics and Computer Technology Center and Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, sought to provide information to users and practitioners of database and database systems on advanced applications. The DASFAA conference series has already established itself and it continues to attract, each year, participants from all over the world. In this context, it may be recalled that the previous DASFAA conferences were successfully held in Seoul, Korea (1989), Tokyo, Japan (1991), Daejeon, Korea (1993), Singapore (1995), Melbourne, Australia (1997), Taiwan, ROC (1999), Hong Kong (2001), Kyoto, Japan (2003), Jeju Island, Korea (2004), Beijing, China (2005) and Singapore (2006). Thailand had the opportunity to host this prestigious and important international conference and join the league. This conference provides an intern §16§ational forum for academic exchanges and technical discussions among researchers, developers and users of databases from academia, business and industry. DASFAA focuses on research in database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies and their advanced applications. It also promotes research and development activities in the field of databases among participants and their institutions from Pacific Asia and the rest of the world . §04§Invited Talks.- I: Full Papers.- II: Short Papers.- III: Posters.- IV: Industrial Track.- V: Demonstrations Track. §04§Self-tuning in Graph-Based Reference Disambiguation.- Probabilistic Nearest-Neighbor Query on Uncertain Objects.- Making the Most of Cache Groups.- Construction of Tree-Based Indexes for Level-Contiguous Buffering Support.- A Workload-Driven Unit of Cache Replacement for Mid-Tier Database Caching.- J?+?-Tree: A New Index Structure in Main Memory.- CST-Trees: Cache Sensitive T-Trees.- Specifying Access Control Policies on Data Streams.- Protecting Individual Information Against Inference Attacks in Data Publishing.- Quality Aware Privacy Protection for Location-Based Services.- Implementation of Bitmap Based Incognito and Performance Evaluation.- Prioritized Active Integrity Constraints for Database Maintenance.- Using Redundant Bit Vectors for Near-Duplicate Image Detection.- OLYBIA: Ontology-Based Automatic Image Annotation System Using Semantic Inference Rules.- OntoDB: An Ontology-Based Database for Data Intensive Applications.- Continuously Maintaining Sliding Window Skylines §04§in a Sensor Network.- Bayesian Reasoning for Sensor Group-Queries and Diagnosis.- Telescope: Zooming to Interesting Skylines.- Eliciting Matters - Controlling Skyline Sizes by Incremental Integration of User Preferences.- Optimizing Moving Queries over Moving Object Data Streams.- MIME: A Dynamic Index Scheme for Multi-dimensional Query in Mobile P2P Networks.- Interval-Focused Similarity Search in Time Series Databases.- Adaptive Distance Measurement for Time Series Databases.- Clustering Moving Objects in Spatial Networks.- The Tornado Model: Uncertainty Model for Continuously Changing Data.- ClusterSheddy: Load Shedding Using Moving Clusters over Spatio-temporal Data Streams.- Evaluating MAX and MIN over Sliding Windows with Various Size Using the Exemplary Sketch.- CLAIM: An Efficient Method for Relaxed Frequent Closed Itemsets Mining over Stream Data.- Capture Inference Attacks for K-Anonymity with Privacy Inference Logic.-
