Forwarded message from [pobeirne(a)SYSMOD.IE (Patrick O'Beirne)] sent originally on Wed, 15 Dec 1999 09:55:01 +0000: : If anyone has something substantial to say on ECBP, here is a publishing : opportunity forwarded from the Cutter IT Journal : : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- : --------------- : : Subject: April Cutter IT Journal on e-business best practices : : The April *Cutter IT Journal* will focus on best practices for e-business : projects. Ed Yourdon's call for papers is below. I look forward to hearing : from those of you who would like to contribute. If you have a colleague who : may be interested in submitting a paper, please forward this call for : papers. The deadline for submission of papers is January 25. : : As many of you already know, authoring an article in the Journal is an : excellent way to get your name out to IT professionals worldwide. The : Journal (formerly American Programmer) is in its eleventh year, and remains : one of the only completely objective sources of IT management information : available; it remains unjuried and without advertising. : : We are pleased to offer Journal authors a year's complimentary subscription : and 20 copies of the issue in which they are published. In addition, we : occasionally pull excerpts, along with the author's bio, to include in our : weekly Cutter Edge e-mail bulletin, which reaches another 5,000 readers. : We'd also be pleased to quote you, or passages from your article, in Cutter : press releases. If you plan to be speaking at industry conferences, we can : arrange to make additional copies of the issue in which you're published : available for attendees of those speaking engagements--furthering your own : promotional efforts. : : If you are interested in contributing an article, please contact me at the : number below, or send e-mail to jrose(a)cutter.com. Please feel free to : contact me if you have any questions, would like to write an article on a : topic that is related to, but not included in, the attached message, or can : suggest someone else who might like to contribute. : : Sincerely, : Jill Rose : Managing Editor, IT Group : Cutter Information Corp. : (781) 641-5133 : : Cutter IT Journal Editorial Calendar : April: Best Practices for E-Business : May: Requirements Management : June: Mini-operating Systems : July: Y2000: Lessons Learned : : ---------------------Reply Separator---------------------------- : Around the world, companies are embarking upon e-business projects with : an intensity and sense of urgency far beyond what we normally see in IT : developmpent efforts. There is a sense that e-business projects are : "different" from traditional projects, for several reasons: they often : require business reengineering activities, they need to be finished very : quickly, they involve a number of new technologies, etc. : : But there have been enough e-business projects conducted during the past : couple of years that a body of "best practices" is beginning to emerge. : We've decided to devote the April 2000 issue of Cutter IT Journal to : this topic, and we'll be addressing questions like these: : : * What is the best source of information for e-business best practices? : Are there books, conferences, journals, web sites, listservs, or other : sources of information that IT professionals should be consulting in : order to stay abreast of this area? : : * While there may be dozens, or even hundreds, of such best practices, : what are the PRINCIPAL best practices that a project manager should keep : in mind for an e-business project? Are there two or three, or perhaps : 5-10, such "momst important" best practices? : : * How long does it take for such practices to emerge in a typical IT : organization? What's the best way to disseminate these practices : throughout the organization, given the usual frantic pace of development : once such a project begins? : : * While there are several best practices for the IT professionals to : follow, e-business projects probably require some best practices in : other parts of the organization too, ranging from senior management to : end-users. What are those practices, and how difficult is it to : implement them? : : * If there are best practices for e-business projects, there must also : be WORST practices -- i.e., things to avoid at all cost, in order to : minimize the possibility of project failures. What are the key : worst-practices that can be passed on to future e-business project : managers? : : The deadline for submission of articles is Jan 25, 2000. However, since : we only have room for a limited number of articles, it's important that : you contact me as soon as possible with a description of the paper you : have in mind. Most CUTTER IT JOURNAL articles are approx 2,000 - 3,000 : words long, plus whatever graphics are appropriate. If you have any : other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at ed(a)yourdon.com , : or look at the CUTTER IT JOURNAL section of my web site at : http://www.yourdon.com . : : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- : --------------- : : ------------------------------------------------------------- : Patrick O'Beirne B.Sc.

[forwarded] ANTS'2000: Call for papers
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Dec '99

14 Dec '99

Forwarded message from [mdorigo(a)ulb.ac.be (Marco DORIGO)] sent originally on Tue, 14 Dec 1999 18:26:49 +0100: : : ANTS'2000 - From Ant Colonies to Artificial Ants: Second International : Workshop on Ant Algorithms : : Brussels, Belgium, September 8-9, 2000 : : CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS (up-to-date information on the workshop : is maintained at http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~ants/ants2000/) : : SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP : : The behavior of social insects in general, and of ant colonies in : particular, has since long time fascinated researchers in ethology and : animal behavior, who have proposed many models to explain their : capabilities. Recently, ant algorithms have been proposed as a novel : computational model that replaces the traditional emphasis on control, : preprogramming, and centralization with designs featuring autonomy, : emergence, and distributed functioning. These designs are proving : flexible and robust, able to adapt quickly to changing environments : and to continue functioning even when individual elements fail. : : A particularly successful research direction in ant algorithms, known : as "ant colony optimization", is dedicated to their application to : discrete optimization problems. Ant colony optimization has been : applied successfully to a large number of difficult combinatorial : problems like the quadratic assignment and the traveling salesman : problems, to routing in telecommunications networks, to scheduling : problems, and so on. ANTS'2000 is the second edition of the only : event entirely devoted to ant algorithms and to ant colony : optimization. Also of great interest to the workshop are models of ant : colonies behavior which could stimulate new algorithmic approaches. : : The aims are to give researchers in both real ants behavior and in ant : colony optimization an opportunity to meet, to present their latest : research, and to discuss current developments and applications. The : two-day event will be held in Brussels, Belgium, from September 8 to : September 9, 2000. In the evening of September 7 there will be a : tutorial on ant algorithms. : : RELEVANT RESEARCH AREAS : : Submissions are invited that describe: : : (1) Models of aspects of real ant colonies behavior that can stimulate : new algorithmic approaches, : : (2) Empirical and theoretical research in ant algorithms and ant : colony optimization. : : (3) Application of ant algorithms and ant colony optimization methods : to real-world problems. : : SUBMISSION OF PAPERS : : Papers can be submitted either as extended abstracts or as full : papers. The length should be of approximately 4 or 10 pages : respectively. : : Formatting and submission instructions are provided at : http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~ants/ants2000/ants2000-submission.html. : : Accepted papers will be published in a booklet that is to be : distributed to workshop participants. We are now investigating the : possibility of publishing the best papers as a journal special issue. : In this case, a further call for full papers, that may be longer than : the 10 pages workshop format, will be released. : : All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop as : oral presentations or as a poster. : : REGISTRATION AND FURTHER INFORMATION : : Up-to-date information about the workshop will be made available at : the ANTS'2000 web site (http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~ants/ants2000/). : For information about local arrangements, registration forms, etc., : please refer to the above mentioned web site, or contact the local : organizer at the address below. : : A registration fee of BF 7,000 will cover local organization expenses, : coffee breaks, and a social dinner on Friday 8 evening.
