DASFAA is an annual international database conference, located in the Asia-Pacific region,which show cases state-of-the-art R & D activities in databases-terms and their applications. It provides a forum for technical presentations and discussions among database researchers, developers and users from academia, business and industry. DASFAA 2015 the 20th in the series, was held during April 20-23, 2015 in Hanoi, Vietnam. In this year, we carefully selected two workshops, each focusing on specific research issues that contribute to the main themes of the DASFAA conference. This volume contains the final versions of papers accepted for the two workshops: Second International Workshop on Semantic Computing and Personalization (SeCoP 2015); Second International Workshop on Big Data Management and Service (BDMS 2015); and a Poster Session. [All the workshops were selected via a public call-for-proposals process. The workshop organizers put a tremendous amount of effort into soliciting and - lecting papers with a balance of high quality, new ideas and new applications. We asked all workshops to follow a rigid paper selection process, including the procedure to ensure that any Program Committee members are excluded from the paper review process of any paper they are involved with. A requirement about the overall paper acceptance rate of no more than 50% was also imposed on all the workshops.]

Compiled by scholars at the court of Liu An, king of Huainan, in the second century B.C.E, The Huainanzi is a tightly organized, sophisticated articulation of Western Han philosophy and statecraft. Outlining "all that a modern monarch needs to know," the text emphasizes rigorous self-cultivation and mental discipline, brilliantly synthesizing for readers past and present the full spectrum of early Chinese thought. The Huainanzi locates the key to successful rule in a balance of broad knowledge, diligent application, and the penetrating wisdom of a sage. It is a unique and creative synthesis of Daoist classics, such as the Laozi and the Zhuangzi; works associated with the Confucian tradition, such as the Changes, the Odes, and the Documents; and a wide range of other foundational philosophical and literary texts from the Mozi to the Hanfeizi. The product of twelve years of scholarship, this remarkable translation preserves The Huainanzi's special rhetorical features, such as parallel prose and verse, and showcases a compositional technique that conveys the work's powerful philosophical appeal. This path-breaking volume will have a transformative impact on the field of early Chinese intellectual history and will be of great interest to scholars and students alike.
