This volume contains the papers of 3 workshops and the doctoral consortium, which are organized in the framework of the 18th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS'2014).

The 3 rd International Workshop on GPUs in Databases (GID'2014) is devoted to subjects related to utilization of Graphics Processing Units in database environments. The use of GPUs in databases has not yet received enough attention from the database community. The intention of the GID workshop is to provide a discussion on popularizing the GPUs and providing a forum for discussion with respect to the GID's research ideas and their potential to achieve high speedups in many database applications.

The 3 rd International Workshop on Ontologies Meet Advanced Information Systems (OAIS'2014) has a twofold objective to present: new and challenging issues in the contribution of ontologies for designing high quality information systems, and new research and technological developments which use ontologies all over the life cycle of information systems.

The 1 st International Workshop on Technologies for Quality Management in Challenging Applications (TQMCA'2014) focuses on quality management and its importance in new fields such as big data, crowd-sourcing, and stream databases. The Workshop has addressed the need to develop novel approaches and technologies, and to entirely integrate quality management into information system management.

Latest research on Databases and Information Systems Results of the workshops of the 18th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2014) held September 7-10, 2014 at Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia Presents an international forum of researchers and practitioners in the fields of databases and information systems, database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications
