Fwd: CFP: Workshop on Communication Modelling, LAP 2001 (Deadline extended)
by Gustaf Neumann 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: Workshop on Communication Modelling, LAP 2001 (Deadline extended) Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 17:33:24 +0200 From: Mareike Schoop <schoop(a)INFORMATIK.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Due to many requests, the deadline for the submission of regular papers is extended to 9 April 2001. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers The Sixth International Workshop on the Language-Action Perspective on Communication Modelling LAP 2001 21-22 July 2001, Montreal, Canada In conjunction with IFIP WG8.1 Working Conference Organizational Semiotics: evolving a science of information systems http://www-i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/conf/lap2001/ Invited Talk by Steve Kimbrough, University of Pennsylvania Objectives ========== Information technology has seen radical changes in the last two decades with systems to support cooperation and communication playing an ever- increasing role. In today's society, communication is present in many different facets, e.g. face-to-face dialogues, telephone conversations, email messages, information exchanges of agents. Communication is the key to smooth cooperation. Individuals working in groups coordinate their actions though communication. Communication modelling has been studied for more than two decades. Since 1980 a new paradigm has evolved in the field of information systems which emphasises the importance of communication in an organisational context: The Language-Action Perspective (LAP). LAP became popular in the 80s and a second wave of frameworks, models and systems emerged in the 90s. As diverse as these application of LAP are, they all have in common the fundamental agreement that language is not only used for exchanging information as in reports, statements etc. but also to perform actions, e.g. promises, orders, declarations. The conventional perspective on information systems stresses the contents of messages rather than the way they are exchanged. In contrast, the Language-Action Perspective emphasises what people do by communicating, how language is used to create a common basis for communication partners, and how their activities are coordinated through language. Here, the focus is on the pragmatic aspects of language, i.e. how language is used in particular contexts to achieve practical goals such as agreements or mutual understandings. The LAP approach argues that as social action is mediated through communication, one of the main roles of an information system should be to support intra- and inter-organisational communication. Two theories of communication have traditionally formed the theoretical foundations of LAP: Searle's Theory of Speech Acts and Habermas' Theory of Communicative Action. Nowadays, speech act elements are used in many different facets, often combined with other theories or frameworks. This year, the LAP workshop will be held in conjunction with the IFIP WG8.1 conference on Organizational Semiotics. This could be a good opportunity to assess the similarities and differences between the two communities. What are current research themes that we deal with? How do we define "communication", "cooperation" etc.? What are specific assumptions of LAP that cannot be applied directly to a semiotic context? These are some topics that will be addressed in the workshop. Important Dates =============== Submission of regular papers 9 April 2001 Submission of short papers 21 April 2001 Notification of acceptance 17 May 2001 Submission of final version 14 June 2001 Call for Submissions ==================== We encourage submissions concerning all topics related to the Language-Action Perspective and communication modelling, including (but not limited to) the following: * E-Commerce * Empirical Modelling * Organisational Semiotics * Formal aspects * Theoretical underpinnings of LAP * Comparisons of LAP with other theories and approaches * Systems architectures * Intelligent agents * Document Management * Process Modelling * Computer-Supported Cooperative Work * Practical experiences with LAP * Reassessment of LAP Submissions can have the following forms * Full research papers should describe innovative and original research in any of the above or related topics.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: cfp: FoIKS 2002 Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 16:36:37 +1200 From: Prof Klaus-Dieter Schewe <K.D.Schewe(a)massey.ac.nz> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Symposium on Foundations of Information and Knowledge Systems (FoIKS 2002) Schloss Salzau (near Kiel), Germany, February 19-23, 2002 supported by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) The goal of the biennial FoIKS symposia is to bring together researchers working on the theoretical foundations of information and knowledge systems and to attract researchers working in mathematical fields such discrete mathematics, combinatorics, logics and finite model theory who are interested to apply their theories to research on database and knowledge base theory. FoIKS took up the tradition of the conference series `Mathematical Fundamentals of Database Systems' (MFDBS) which enabled East-West collaboration in the field of database theory. The first FoIKS symposium was held in Burg/Spreewald (Germany) in 2000. Former MFDBS conferences were held in Dresden (Germany) in 1987, Visegrad (Hungary) in 1989 and in Rostock (Germany) in 1991. In addition the FoIKS symposium is intended to be a forum for intensive discussions. For this reason the time slot of long and short contributions is 60 and 30 minutes, respectively, followed by 30 and 15 minutes for discussions, respectively. Furthermore, participants are asked in advance to prepare as correspondents to a contribution of another author. In addition, there are special sessions for the presentation and discussion of open research problems. FoIKS 2002 solicites contributions dealing with any foundational aspect of information and knowledge systems. Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are: Mathematical Foundations: discrete methods, boolean functions, finite model theory, non-classical logics Database Design: formal models, dependency theory, schema translations, desirable properties, design primitives, design strategies Query Languages: expressiveness, computational and descriptive complexity, query languages for advanced datamodels, classification of computable queries Semi-structured databases and WWW: models of web databases, querying semi-structured databases, web transactions and negotiations Security in Data and Knowledge bases: cryptography, steganography, information hiding Integrity and Constraint management: constraint checking, verification and validation of consistency, consistency enforcement, triggers Information Integration: heterogenous data, views, schema dominance and equivalence Data- and Knowledge Base Dynamics: models of transactions, models of interaction, updates in data- and knowledge bases, consistency preservation, dynamic consistency, concurrency control, complexity of update propagation Intelligent Agents: multi-agent systems, autonomous agents, foundations of software agents, cooperative agents Logics in Databases and AI: non-classical logics, temporal logics, non-monotonic logics, spatial logics, probabilistic logics, deontic logic Logic Programming: declarative logic programming, constraint programming, inductive logic programming Knowledge Representation: planning, description logics, knowledge and belief, belief revision and update, non-monotonic formalisms, uncertainty Reasoning Techniques: automated reasoning, satisfiability testing, abduction, induction, theorem proving, constraint satisfaction, common-sense reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, reasoning about actions Submission of Papers. Authors are cordially invited to submit an abstract by August 10, 2001 and a paper by August 17, 2001. Connect to http://foiks.massey.ac.nz/ and follow the instructions there. Papers should not exceed 15 pages (single-spaced, 11pt, US letter or A4 paper) for long presentations, and 10 pages for short presentations, respectively. The submissions will be judged for scientific quality and for suitability as a basis for broader discussion. The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the `Lecture Notes in Computer Science' series and will be available at the workshop. The proceedings of FoIKS 2000 have been published as LNCS vol. 1762. Same as with FoIKS 2000 we intend after the symposium to ask authors of selected papers to prepare extended versions of their papers for publication in a special issue of the `Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence'.

Lewis Johnson (University of Southern California, USA) Riichiro Mizoguchi (Osaka University, Japan) Prabhakar Raghavan (Verity Inc., USA) Patrick S. P. Wang (Northeastern University, USA) The 21st century is the age of Internet and World Wide Web. The Web revolutionizes the way we gather, process, and use information. At the same time, it also redefines the meanings and processes of business, commerce, marketing, finance, publishing, education, research, development, as well as other aspects of our daily life. Although individual Web-based information systems are constantly being deployed, advanced issues and techniques for developing and for benefiting from Web intelligence still remain to be systematically studied. Broadly speaking, Web Intelligence (WI) exploits AI and advanced information technology on the Web and Internet. It is the key and the most urgent research field of IT for business intelligence. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) is an international forum for researchers and practitioners (1) to present the state-of-the-art in the development of Web intelligence; (2) to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology; (3) to cross-fertilize ideas on the development of Web-based intelligent information systems among different domains. By idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying foundations and the enabling technologies of Web intelligence, WI-2001 is expected to stimulate the future development of new models, new methodologies, and new tools for building a variety of embodiments of Web-based intelligent information systems. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) is a high-quality, high-impact biennial conference series. It will be jointly held with the Asia-Pacific Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT). TOPICS ====== WI-2001 welcomes submissions of original papers.
