The 17th International Baltic Conference on Digital Business and Intelligent Systems (DB&IS) is a biennial international event dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and practice across the broad spectrum of digital business, intelligent systems, and data-driven technologies. Building on its strong heritage and steadily expanding international reach, DB&IS provides a vibrant environment for scientists, practitioners, and doctoral students to exchange research findings, discuss emerging trends, and explore transformative ideas shaping modern digital ecosystems. The conference welcomes work spanning conceptual modelling, business process optimisation, intelligent computing, data science, semantic and knowledge technologies, trustworthy and human-centred AI, digital twins, cybersecurity, emerging infrastructures, and the many domains where digitalisation is reshaping society.
The Baltic DB&IS 2026 conference is organised by the Institute of Computer Science, University of Tartu. The event will take place in Tartu. Read more about the keynote speakers and social events of the conference.
Since its inception, DB&IS has brought together the wider Baltic and European research communities across a series of successful conferences held in Trakai (1994, 2018), Tallinn (1996, 2002, 2008, 2014, 2020), Riga (1998, 2004, 2010, 2016, 2022), and Vilnius (2000, 2006, 2012, 2024). The 17th edition continues this tradition by featuring high-quality research and application papers addressing the theory, design, implementation, security, and societal implications of contemporary digital business and intelligent systems.
Over time, the workshop evolved into the International Baltic Conference on Databases and Information Systems, rotating among the three Baltic states and consistently classified in Category B by Excellence in Research Australia (ERA). Following the 14th edition (Tallinn, 2020), the steering committee broadened the conference’s scope to reflect global technological trends, extending the acronym DB&IS to Digital Business and Intelligent Systems, while maintaining its name as a tribute to its heritage.
