: TOWARDS A DIGITAL LIBRARY OF POPULAR MUSIC
:
: Digital libraries of music have the potential to capture popular
: imagination in ways that more scholarly libraries cannot. At the
: University of Waikato (New Zealand) we are working towards a
: comprehensive digital library of musical material, including popular
: music. We have developed new ways of collecting musical material,
: accessing it through searching and browsing, and presenting the
: results to the user. We work with different representations of
: music: facsimile images of scores, the internal representation
: of a music editing program, page images typeset by a music editor,
: MIDI files, audio files representing sung user input, and textual
: metadata such as title, composer and arranger, and lyrics. The talk
: will include demonstrations of the various components of the system.

: EVOLUTION ODER FORTSCHRITT VON KOGNITION?
:
: In diesem Vortrag wird die Relevanz asymmetrischer Prozesse in lebenden
: Systemen, sowohl in prozeduraler als auch in struktureller Hinsicht,
: diskutiert. Verhalten wird hier nicht als ahistorischer logischer
: Problemloesungsprozess verstanden; es wird vielmehr gezeigt, dass
: Verhalten - und damit Kognition - durch Antizipation gesteuert werden.
: Auf struktureller Ebene ist evident, dass ein Zuwachs an Verhaltens-
: kompetenz sich, aehnlich wie bei biologischen Strukturen, immer auf
: bereits vorhandene Komponenten gruenden muss. Aber auch Reversibilitaet
: ist moeglich. Dadurch ergeben sich Auswirkungen auf die Frage, ob
: Evolution gleichbedeutend mit Fortschritt ist, und auf das Design von
: kuenstlichen Systemen.

: The contents of the latest issue of:
:
: Journal of Database Management (JDM)
: Official publication of the Information Resources Management
: Association
: Vol 11#3, July-September, 2000
: Editor: Shirley A. Becker, Florida Institute of Technology
:
: RESEARCH PAPERS
:
: Article One
:
: Using Business Rules Within a Design Process of Active Databases
:
: Youssef Amghar, Madjid Meziane, André Flory
: National Institute of Applied Sciences, France
:
: Modeling behavior is an important task of the information system
: engineering process. This task is especially important when informa-
: tion systems are centered on active databases, which allow the
: replacement of parts of application programs with active rules. To
: relieve programmers from using either traditional or ad hoc techniques
: to design active databases, it is necessary to develop new techniques
: to model business rules. For that reason, inclusion of rules during
: analysis and design stages becomes an actual requirement. In this paper,
: we propose a uniform approach to modeling business rules (active rules,
: integrity constraints, etc. ). To improve the behavior specification,
: we extend the state diagrams that are widely used for dynamic modeling.
: This extension is a transformation of state transitions according to rule
: semantics. In addition, we outline new functionalities of Computer Aided
: System Engineering (CASE) to take into consideration the active
: database specificities. In this way, the designer can be assisted to
: control, maintain, and reuse a set of rules.
:
: Article Two:
:
: Benchmarking OODBs with a Generic Tool
:
: Jérôme Darmont and Michel Schneider
: Université Blaise Pascal Clermont-Ferrand II, France
:
: We present in this paper a generic object-oriented benchmark (OCB: the
: Object Clustering Benchmark) that has been designed to evaluate the
: performances of Object-Oriented Databases (OODBs),and more specifically
: the performances of clustering policies within OODBs. OCB is generic
: because its sample database may be customized to fit any of the databases
: introduced by the main existing benchmarks, e.g., OO1 (Object Operation 1)
: or OO7. The first version of OCB was purposely clustering-oriented due to
: a clustering-oriented workload, but OCB has been thoroughly extended to be
: able to suit other purposes. Eventually, OCBs code is compact and easily
: portable. OCB has been validated through two implementations: one within
: the O2 OODB and another one within the Texas persistent object store. The
: performances of a specific clustering policy called DSTC (Dynamic, Statis-
: tical, Tunable Clustering) have also been evaluated with OCB.
:
: Article Three:
:
: Performance Evaluation of Parallel S-trees
:
: Eleni Tousidou, Michael Vassilakopoulos & Yannis Manolopoulos
: Aristotle University, Greece
:
: The S-tree is a dynamic height-balanced tree similar in structure to
: B+trees. S-trees store fixed length bit-strings, which are called
: signatures. Signatures are used for indexing textbases, relational,
: object oriented and extensible databases as well as in data mining.
: In this article, methods of designing multi-disk B-trees are adapted
: to S-trees and new methods of parallelizing S-trees are developed.
: The resulting structures aim at achieving performance gain by accessing
: two or more disks simultaneously. In addition, two different searching
: techniques that exploit parallel disk accessing are devised. Performance
: results of experiments based on the new structures and searching
: techniques are also presented and discussed.
:
: INDUSTRY AND PRACTICE
:
: Justifying Data Warehousing Investments
:
: Ram L. Kumar
: University of North Carolina-Charlotte, USA
:
: This article outlines an approach to justifying data warehousing invest-
: ments that is based on the concept of options in finance. This approach to
: justifying investments is being increasingly recognized as being superior
: to traditional methods by finance professionals.
:
: The Folklore of Normalization
:
: Robert Buelow
: Cap Gemini America, USA
:
: This article contends that normalization is not as difficult as is generally
: supposed,that it should not be performed as is generally understood and that
: it is not as important as is generally thought.

: Workshop der DCSCW 2000 "Verteiltes Arbeiten - Arbeit der Zukunft":
:
: Kommunikation und Kooperation in Knowledge Communities
:
: am 12.9.2000, 13.00-18.00 Uhr, in München

:
: Beschreibung
:
: Im Workshop sollen sich Forscher und Praktiker zusammenfinden, die sich
: mit der Wissenskommunikation und -kooperation in virtuellen Verbünden
: beschäftigen. Im Gegensatz zu Organisationen mit stabilen Strukturen und
: Prozessen ist die Wissenskommunikation in Verbünden durch die
: Volatilität von Beziehungen und die gering ausgeprägten Strukturen
: wesentlich schwieriger sozio-technisch zu unterstützen. Es handelt sich
: bei der Wissenskommunikation in virtuellen Ver-bünden um dynamische,
: verteilte, zu erschließende Wissenslandschaften und nicht um fest
: umrissene Aufgaben und Strukturen.
: Entsprechend der auf internationaler Ebene unter dem Stichwort
: "Community Informatics" oder "Knowledge Communities" diskutierten Formen
: der Wissens-kommunikation und -kooperation in eher schwach oder gar
: nicht organisierten Verbünden ist es das Ziel des Workshops, in diesem
: noch jungen Forschungszweig einen Abgleich zwischen Problemen aus der
: Praxis und existierenden Ideen und Konzepten aus der Forschung
: herbeizuführen und zur Klärung folgender Fragen beizutragen:
:
: - Welche Faktoren können Wissenskommunikation motivieren? Wie können
: diese Faktoren gestärkt werden (technisch, organisatorisch)?
: - Wie kann Wissen kollaborativ entstehen? Welche Faktoren beeinflussen
: Effi-zienz und Effektivität dieses Prozesses?
: - Wie können/müssen Werkzeuge aussehen, die die Wissenskommunikation und
: Wissensarbeit unterstützen (Sichtbarkeit von Wissen und Experten,
: Sicht-barkeit von Wissensnachfrage)?
: - Welche Grenzen und Möglichkeiten bieten moderne Technologien bei der
: Einbindung schwach motivierter Nutzergruppen ("casual user")?
: - Welche Rolle spielt das Engagement einzelner Mitglieder einer
: Knowledge Community für den Wissenskommunikationsprozess als Ganzem?
:
: Unter den Begriffen "Wissenskommunikation und -kooperation" sollen hier
: sowohl Aktivitäten computerunterstützten kooperativen Lernens als auch
: kurz-, mittel- und langfristig wirkende Aktivitäten problemorientierten
: Wissensmanagements verstanden werden. "Virtuelle Verbünde" bezeichnen
: neben virtuellen Unternehmen/Organisationen auch ortsbezogene virtuelle
: Gemeinschaften (Geo-graphical Virtual Communities, z.B. Digitale Städte,
: Bürgernetze) und rein-virtuelle Gemeinschaften (Virtual Communities,
: z.B. MUD-User).
: Neben der Unterstützung der "eigentlichen" Wissenskommunikation und
: -kooperation im jeweiligen Interessengebiet ist auch das Wissen über die
: Funktionalität der als Medium dienenden Technologie (Hardware und
: Software) durch geeignete Gestaltungsmaßnahmen ein interessanter
: Diskussionsgegenstand.
:
: Adressatenkreis und Einreichungen
:
: Eingeladen sind Praktiker, Anbieter und Forscher aus den Bereichen des
: computerunterstützten kooperativen Lernens, des Wissensmanagements, der
: virtuellen Organisationen, der Bürgernetze und Community Networks.
: Jede/r Teilnehmer/in muß ein zwei- bis dreiseitiges Positionspapier
: (nach Vorlage DCSCW-Author Kit) einreichen, aus dem sein/ihr Interesse
: am Thema ersichtlich wird. Zur Präsentation bzw. eventuellen späteren
: Veröffentlichung kommen nur vollwertige Beiträge im Umfang von 4 bis 10
: Seiten (nach Vorlage DCSCW-Author Kit). Neben Einreichungen zu
: Lösungsansätzen in den Problem- und Anwendungsfeldern des Workshops
: möchten wir auch praxisnahen Problembeschreibungen eine Plattform
: bieten.
: Wir werden 5-8 Einreichungen die Gelegenheit zur Präsentation geben,
: weitere Einreichungen werden auf der Webseite des Workshops publiziert.
:
: Deadlines:
: Einreichungen 11.7.2000

: TOWARDS A SATISFACTORY MODEL OF LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION
:
: Until recently, the dominant view in cognitive psychology has been that
: the processing system endeavours to form the most complete and detailed
: representation of external stimuli possible (Pylyshyn, 1984). However,
: a growing body of evidence from work in visual cognition suggests that
: processing may satisfy a viewer's current needs without resulting in a
: full analysis.
:
: This talk outlines an attempt to discover whether a similar principle
: governs human language comprehension: our working hypothesis is that
: humans do not necessarily fully process language, but simply understand
: enough of the input to satisfy their current communicative needs. We
: present evidence from current work showing the operation of such a
: satisfaction principle, and discuss future attempts to work out how
: it is parameterised.
