Forwarded message from [jarke(a)i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Prof. Dr. M. Jarke)] sent originally on Tue, 9 Nov 1999 07:45:12 +0100: : The 8th European Conference on Information Systems will take : place in Vienna, Austria, July 3-5, 2000. : The theme of ECIS 2000 is "A Cyberspace Odyssey: : Trends in Information and Communication Systems for the 21st Century". : Detailed submission guidelines and general conference information : can be found under http://ecis2000.wu-wien.ac.at/start.htm : : Deadline for submissions is November 15, 1999. : : Among other goals, ECIS 2000 has been designed to foster the dialog : between computer science advances and the behavioral and : management-oriented focus of the previous conferences in the ECIS : series. One of the vehicles of this dialogs will be the : : ECIS 2000 Track on Technology, titled : *************************************************** : Databases, Internet, Multimedia: : Redesigning Boundaries in Time, Space and Culture : *************************************************** : coordinated by Matthias Jarke : Aachen University of Technology, Germany : : Objectives : : The technology infrastructure in organisations has seen radical : changes in the last decade, with the broad acceptance of relational : database technology, widespread usage of networked personal : computing, the development of the Internet as a competing : infrastructure to the traditional phone, mail and library system, : and with the broad introduction of multimedia in a wide range : of activities. Generally speaking, database technology has : devised new ways to bridge barriers of time for a much : larger amount and variety of information, together with : other communication advances the Internet has re-defined : the way how we see spatial barriers for co-operation, and : multimedia can be seen as a way to reduce conceptual : distances between different people, organisations and : culture, by moving closer to shared reality. The real impact, : and business opportunities, of course results from the combination : of these three technological streams in various forms of what could : be called Cooperative Information Systems. : : While many organisations are still struggling with the systematic uptake : of the technologies of the 90s, the next generation of technologies : is already on the horizon. Database technology is becoming deeply : integrated with network computing, both of them with multimedia, : and the upcoming satellite communication technologies which will : redefine the most current technological price-performance trade-offs : once again in a radical manner. These trends are strengthened by : new software technologies such as mobile agents, biocomputing and : high performance computing techniques which are gradually finding : their way into business applications. : : It is a major challenge for Information Managers, Information Systems : researchers and developers to cope conceptually with these continuing : changes. The maturing of object-oriented approaches into truly : component-based solutions will, if successful, lead to significant changes : in the system development process as well as in our whole understanding : of software architecture and software markets. Conceptual modeling : technologies, once marginal aspects in the early phase of the development : process, are taking center stage in grasping the different aspects and : opportunities. : The next generation of intelligent agent technologies, together with : intelligent : interfaces to everything, will shorten the cycle in mapping concepts to : systems reality. : : Track Theme and Suggested Topics : : This track will focus on the importance of technology in information : systems in the first decade of the 21st century. We shall address : questions such as: How will the confluence of new technologies in : databases, networks and interactive media change our personal, : team-oriented and formal information management structure : within and between organisations? How can we predict, and cope : with these impacts? What will the intelligent information management : solutions resulting from these observations be? Where can we : already find "best practice" for the technological future? : : Issues to be covered include but are not limited to: : : Using the web as an open information system : Exploitation of advanced database technologies through the web : (e.g. database marketing, publishing, ) : Business applications of mobile software agents : High-performance computing in business : Impact of biocomputing and nanocomputing : Novel collaborative work solutions and their management : Customisation of information systems to people, organisations, : situations, : Technological support for organisational knowledge management and training : Implications of new satellite broadband communication systems : New development strategies for solutions (component-based) : Methods for modelling and simulating the impact of technological changes : The role of new interaction media (interactive walls, ) : : ===== Start of ISWorld List Footer ===== : Moving?

[forwarded] CFP NMR2000 -> abduction
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Nov '99

08 Nov '99

Forwarded message from [denecker(a)cs.uky.edu] sent originally on Sun, 7 Nov 1999 12:56:17 +0800 (GMT-8): : Apologies for multiple copies. : : ****************************************************************** : : CALL FOR PAPERS : : ****************************************************************** : : NMR 2000 : : Special session on ABDUCTIVE REASONING : : ****************************************************************** : : Over the last two decades several studies have shown how abductive : reasoning can be used to address a variety of problems. These problems : include updates in databases, belief revision, planning, : diagnosis, natural language understanding, default reasoning, user : modeling and, more generally, problems requiring reasoning with : incomplete information. Despite this wide range of potential : applications of abduction, there has been relatively little work : on showing how abduction can provide an effective computational model : for practical problems. The field lacks coherent methodological : guidelines and general-purpose, working systems, that could be : employed for this variety of problems, and real-life applications. : : For this reason, NMR 2000, the 8th workshop in the NMR series, : includes a special one-day session devoted to abductive reasoning. Its : main purpose would be to evaluate the role of abduction in : applications and to try to address the question of what general : methodologies or "engineering/programming/modeling" principles are : appropriate for the development of abductive applications. : : We are seeking papers on the theory and practice of abductive reasoning. : Emphasis will be given on recent and novel applications and systems : of abduction which could help establish its role within AI and : more generally its role as a computational problem solving paradigm. : Of particular interest for the session are the following topics: : : o role of abduction in Artificial Intelligence, : : o proof procedures and systems for abduction, : : o methodologies for applications of abduction, : : o novel applications of abduction, : : The general procedure for submission of the special session is : identical to the procedure of NMR2000. Informal proceedings containing : accepted papers and other workshop materials will be distributed at : the meeting. In addition, they will be published on the web.

Thus, WWW, a distributed global information resource, is not : only important to individual users, but to business organizations. Today, a : large number of companies, organizations, and customers are exploiting the : opportunities offered by Internet-based electronic commerce solutions and : many more are expected to follow. Companies have put their databases and : product catalogues on the Web, search engines allow electronic market : participants around the globe to locate potential trading partners, and a : set of different protocols are established to exchange goods and services by : using different business models and following different strategies. There is : a diagnostic need for effective tools for information consumers, who must be : able to easily locate in the web interested information from unstructured : documents and pictures to structured, record oriented data. The effective : and efficient access to the web information to support e-commerce activities : has become a critical research area. This has led to the development of new : e-commerce tools and technology, web data models and query languages, web : site management system, auction and negotiation issues etc. The management : of Web data is receiving a new set of challenges with the advent of XML and : other standards. : : The main objective of this conference is to bring together researchers from : different disciplines, developers, and users all interested in electronic : commerce and web technologies and to assess current methodologies and new : research directions. Although a natural focus will be on computer science : issues, we expressly welcome technical research contributions from economics, : business, law, and other relevant disciplines. The conference will be organized : as a two track conference: E-commerce and Web Technologies.

The PAIS-2000 Programme Committee invites authors : to submit application papers. : : This event, associated with ECAI-2000 is created to specifically highlight : significant successful applications of Intelligent Systems technology. The : purpose of the event is to provide a forum for industry practitioners to learn : about the power and applicability of selected IS techniques and share experience : on the applicability, development and deployment of intelligent systems in : industry. This will be the largest showcase in Europe of real application using : Intelligent Systems (IS) technology and the ideal place to meet with those : working to make successful IS based applications. : : The Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems event will present papers : describing successful applications of intelligent systems. Papers are selected : to highlight critical areas of success (and failure) and to present the benefits : and lessons of value to other developers. Submitted papers should make these : points clear. Papers should contain sections covering the following information: : Descriptive Title and Abstract: These should convey clearly and simply what the : application is and its operational status. Do use a title that makes it clear to : a reader what the application is. Don't use a clever, but obscure title. : : Problem description: This should describe the problem that the application : solves, stating the objectives of the application and explaining why an : Intelligent Systems (IS) solution was required. If other solutions were tried : and failed, briefly outline these solutions with reasons for failure. : : Application description: This should describe the solution to the problem, with : technical details on design and implementation. It should describe any : methodological approach used, detail the key IS techniques used and if : appropriate show how they were integrated with conventional techniques. If : commercial tools were used they should be identified and reasons for their : selection given. : : Application building: This should describe the size and skill make-up of the : project team, how long is took to build and the costs involved. How it was/will : be installed and introduced to the users, with details of any training required. : Describe any plans for maintenance, in particular how the knowledge is expected : to change over time, and any features to aid the updating of knowledge, etc. : : Application benefits: Were potential benefits identified before building the : application and have these been realised or are likely to be realised? Has the : application been in use and, if so, how often has it been used and by how many : users? What further long term benefits are expected? What future plans have been : made for its enhancement and use? : : For PAIS-2000, a paper is acceptable even if it describes a system which has not : yet been installed, PROVIDED the application is original AND the paper discusses : the aspects and issues that would help someone thinking of implementing a : similar system in their own organisation. It must concisely describe and scope : the problem tackled, saying why it is hard, and why IS techniques are needed. It : should also make clear the status of the system, and should discuss such things : as the project duration and effort, how the project was justified and the : expected benefits estimated, any problems encountered, the performance of the : final system and the reactions of users. : The Review process is different and separate from the ECAI technical conference. : Papers will be evaluated by experienced application developers, based on the : above criterion. Accepted papers will be published in the ECAI proceedings. : : IMPORTANT DATES : : 2 Feb 2000 Deadline for PAIS paper summaries : 4 Feb 2000 Deadline for papers : 28 Apr 2000 Notification of acceptance : 29 May 2000 Camera-ready copies of papers : 23-25 Aug 2000 PAIS-2000 : : Formatting guidelines : : It is highly recommended to submit papers using the final camera-ready : formatting style. Submissions must not exceed five pages in camera-ready format. : Submissions of unformatted papers are limited to 6000 words including footnotes, : figure captions, tables, appendices, and bibliography. Each half-page of figures : will be counted as 600 words. (Please note that for some papers five camera- : ready pages may be considerably less than 6000 words in practice.) Overlength : submissions will be rejected without review. Authors submitting unformatted : papers must include a word count on their paper. : Latex style filesto support formatting of submissions will be available. : : Final versions of accepted papers will be required to conform strictly to the : formatting requirements specified in the ECAI-2000 Style Guide. Each accepted : paper will be allocated five pages in the proceedings. : : Submission procedure : : Submission is a two-stage process. Authors are asked to submit a brief summary : of their paper by 2 February 2000. The strongly preferred submission method is : to use the web-based PAIS summary submission form. Submitted summaries will be : assigned a unique tracking number that should be marked on the full paper : submission. : Authors without access to the web should send a summary including the title, : authors, contact address and abstract for the paper (maximum 200 words), plus a : set if indicative keywords to the ECAI-2000 Programme Chair (by email or postal : mail). The summary information and the tracking number should also be included : with the paper itself, on a separate sheet of paper. (Authors not able to use : the web-based submission form may omit the tracking number). : : Submission of the paper is in hard copy form only, fax or electronic submissions : will not be accepted. Six copies of the paper (each including the summary sheet) : should be sent by postal mail or courier service to the ECAI-2000 Programme : Chair, Werner Horn, at the address below. : The deadline for receipt of papers is 4 February 2000.
