Forwarded message from [ksiau(a)UNLNOTES.UNL.EDU] sent originally on Thu, 13 Jan 2000 01:30:48 -0600: : CALL FOR PAPERS : : Fifth CAiSE/IFIP8.1 International Workshop on : Evaluation of Modeling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design : (EMMSAD'00) : : Stockholm, Sweden : June 5-6, 2000 : : Workshop Theme: : Methods and Methodologies for Scalable Enterprise Systems Development : : http://www.ait.unl.edu/doc2/faculty/siau/conference/EMMSAD00.htm : : Workshop Organizers: : : Dr. Keng Siau, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA (Chair) : Dr. Yair Wand, University of British Columbia, Canada : Dr. Andrew Gemino, Simon Fraser University, Canada : : Workshop Background: : : Modeling is an essential component of information systems analysis and design : (SA&D). New paradigms (e.g., OO) and new methods within a paradigm (e.g., UML) : are constantly being introduced. Some researchers call the field a : "methodological jungle." In addition, most modeling methods and methodologies : evolve from experience. A linkage to science is warranted. Scientific : approaches that are based on theoretical foundation and systematic empirical : evaluations would clearly benefit the field. : : The Workshop on Evaluation of Modeling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design : (EMMSAD'00) is dedicated to issues related to the development and evaluation of : modeling methods in SA&D. EMMSAD'00 is 5th in the workshop series that began in : 1996. EMMSAD workshops have been very successful in bringing together : researchers and practitioners in information systems, method engineering, : software engineering, database, and human computer interaction that are : interested in modeling methods and methodologies in systems analysis and design. : EMMSAD workshops provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in the area : to meet and exchange research ideas and results. : : EMMSAD'00 is an event jointly sponsored by the Conference on Advanced : Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE) and the International Federation for : Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP8.1). : : Theme and Topics for Workshop: : : The theme for EMMSAD'00 is "Methods and Methodologies for Scalable Enterprise : Systems Development." Information systems are no longer designed and developed : to support a single organization. New information systems will span different : organizations and geographical locations. Business-to-business transactions : will be the new wave in electronic commerce. To support such functions, : information systems need to be scalable. A new breed of information modeling : methods and methodologies needs to be engineered to support these new endeavors. : : EMMSAD'00 will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share and : discuss theories, research methodologies, and research findings. We welcome : submissions on theoretical and/or empirical evaluation of modeling methods and : methodologies related to: : : * Scalable Enterprise Systems : * Unified Modeling Language (UML) : * Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) : * Knowledge Management Systems : * Component-based Software Engineering : * Electronic Commerce/Business : * Web-based Information Systems : * Method Engineering : * Metamodeling : * Internet Database : * Data Warehousing : * Data Mining : * Bioinformatics : * Health Information Systems : * Geographical Information Systems : : We are particularly interested in research papers that directly address the : theme of this workshop. Evaluation of new software development approaches such : as UML is strongly encouraged. Research methodologies involving case studies, : action research, and experience reports are welcome. : : Important Dates: : : Deadline for papers (received): February 20, 2000 : Notification of paper acceptance: April 1, 2000 : Deadline for camera-ready copies: May 1, 2000 : : Submission Guidelines: : : The workshop accepts two types of submissions - Completed Research and : Research-In-Progress. Completed research papers should include analysis of data : and discussion on research findings. Research-in-progress papers report on : research that is well under way with preliminary results available at the time : of the conference. : : Please use the following format for your submissions: : * For Completed Research submissions, the paper should not exceed 5,000 words : (excluding references and appendices). Top papers in this category will be : recommended for journal publication or for inclusion as book chapters. : * For Research-In-Progress submissions, the paper should not exceed 2,000 words : (excluding references and appendices). : * Include a cover page with title of paper as well as the authors' names, : affiliations, phones, faxes, and email addresses.

In traditional areas : of information systems, such as analysis and design, there is a base of : literature on the curriculum issues involved in developing those : courses. The areas of e-commerce and the web are new to the information : systems curriculum, and therefore, there is not a base of literature on : how to develop these courses. We hope that this special issue of the : Journal of Informatics Education & Research will build a foundation of : literature in curriculum issues involving e-commerce and the web. Papers : can be experimental, theoretical, or present a case study. Some of the : many topics that would be appropriate for this issue: : : 1. Different types of courses offered (web programming, web : design, web usability, web analysis and design) : : 2. Approaches for teaching these courses (real-world projects, : case studies, research papers, homework assignments) : : 3. Teaching software vs. teaching the design process : : 4. Case studies from people who have already "done it." : : 5. Partnerships with local businesses and community organizations : : 6. Effectiveness of lecture/lab/distance education approaches for : teaching such courses : : 7. Meta-analysis of course titles, topics, and textbooks. : : Timeline: : June 1, 2000: Full papers should be submitted to the guest editor : August 1, 2000: Authors will be notified of acceptance : September 15, 2000: Camera-ready papers with modifications are due : November 15, 2000: Special Issue will be published : : Instructions: : : Contributors are invited to submit manuscripts for publication in : this special issue of the Journal of Informatics : Education & Research.

Forwarded message from [sicstus-users(a)sics.se ] sent originally on Tue, 11 Jan 2000 14:54:21 +0100: : 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. Format : requirements for regular submissions are: : : 12 double-spaced pages excluding title page and bibliography : on-line submissions are encouraged (postscript file) : : Important dates: : : Submission of papers: January 15, 2000 : Acceptance decision by: February 15, 2000 : Camera ready copy due: March 8, 2000 : : Electronic copies of the papers can be submitted to the organisers of : the session: : : Marc Denecker K.U.Leuven, Belgium (Marc.Denecker(a)cs.kuleuven.ac.be) : Antonis Kakas University of Cyprus, Cyprus (antonis(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy) : Francesca Toni, Imperial College (ft(a)doc.ic.ac.uk) : : Program Committee: : : Marc Denecker : Thomas Eiter : Randy Goebel : Katsumi Inoue : Antonis Kakas : David Poole : Daniele Theseider Dupre : Francesca Toni : : http://www.cs.engr.uky.edu/nmr2000/abduction.html -- Wirtschaftsinformatik, FB5, Universitaet GH Essen Gustaf.Neumann(a)uni-essen.de, neumann(a)computer.org http://nestroy.wi-inf.uni-essen.de/Neumann.html

[forwarded] PDPTA 2000: Special Session on Architectural Support for Aspect-Oriented

Forwarded message from [conscon(a)charlie.cns.iit.edu] sent originally on Tue, 11 Jan 2000 11:32:33 +0100 (MET): : Apologies if you have received this more than once. : : *********************************************************************** : CALL FOR PAPERS : Special Session on Architectural Support for Aspect-Oriented : Software Systems at PDPTA 2000 : Las Vegas, June 26-29, 2000 : *********************************************************************** : : A session on Architectural Support for Aspect-Oriented Software Systems is : being organized at the International Conference on Parallel and : Distributed Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'2000) to be held in Las : Vegas during June 26-29, 2000. : : Background : ---------- : : Current languages and paradigms support a number of modular : representations such as procedures, and objects. They further support : composition of modules into whole systems. At the same time many systems : have properties that do not necessarily align with the functional : components and cannot be localized to modular units. Example properties : include performance optimizations, failure handling, synchronization, : coordination and scheduling policies. Aspects are defined as properties : that cut across groups of functional components. While these aspects can : be thought about and analyzed relatively separately from the basic : functionality, at the implementation level they must be combined together. : Programming them manually into the system's functionality using current : component-oriented languages results in aspects being spread throughout : the code. This code tangling makes the source code difficult to develop, : understand and evolve by destroying modularity and reducing software : quality. : : Aspect-Orientation is a paradigm proposal that addresses the above issues. : Current proposals on existing techniques such as reflection, : superimposition, multi-dimensional separation of concerns, use of aspect : definition languages and automatic weavers are invited. : : Format and Length of Contribution : ---------------------------------- : : Maximum of 10 pages in length in any of the following formats: PDF, : PostScript, or MS-Word to be sent via email to concur(a)charlie.cns.iit.edu. : : Organizers : ---------- : : Dr. Tzilla Elrad : Research Associate Professor : Department of Computer Science : Illinois Institute of Technology : email: elrad(a)charlie.cns.iit.edu : : Dr. Atef Bader : Department of Computer Science : Illinois Institute of Technology : email: bader(a)delta.csam.iit.edu : : Constantinos Constantinides : Department of Computer Science : Illinois Institute of Technology : email: conscon(a)charlie.cns.iit.edu : : Important Dates : --------------- : : Abstract submission: January 20 : Deadline for paper submission: March 1, 2000 : Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2000 : : More information : ---------------- : : More information on the PDPTA 2000 conference can be found at : http://www.cps.udayton.edu/~pan/pdpta -- Wirtschaftsinformatik, FB5, Universitaet GH Essen Gustaf.Neumann(a)uni-essen.de, neumann(a)computer.org http://nestroy.wi-inf.uni-essen.de/Neumann.html
