This volume contains the papers presented at the 4th International Symposium on Foundations of Information and Knowledge Systems (FoIKS 2006), which was held at the Alfr´ ed R´ enyi Institute of Mathematics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary, from February 14 to 17, 2006. FoIKS is a biennial event with a focus on the theoretical foundations of information and knowledge systems. The goal is to bring together researchers working on the theoretical foundations of information and knowledge systems, as well as to attract researchers working in mathematical ?elds such as discrete mathematics, combinatorics, logics and ?nite model theory who are interested in applying their theories to research on database and knowledge base theory. FoIKS took up the tradition of the conference series Mathematical Fun- mentals of DatabaseSystems (MFDBS), which enabled East-West collaboration in the ?eld of database theory. The ?rst FoIKS symposium was held in Burg, Spreewald (Germany) in 2000, the second FoIKS symposium was held in Salzau Castle (Germany) in 2002, and the third FoIKS symposium was held in Vienna (Austria) in 2004.Former MFDBS conferences were held in Dresden (Germany) in 1987, Visegr´ ad (Hungary) in 1989 and in Rostock (Germany) in 1991. P- ceedingsofthese previousMFDBSandFoIKSeventswerepublishedbySpringer as volumes 305, 364, 495, 1762, 2284, and 2942 of the LNCS series, respectively.
