Authors of accepted papers will be notified by 7th May and sent formatting guidelines for the final paper to be published in the conference proceedings. Papers will only be published if at least one of their authors registers for and attends the conference. It is also intended that a selection of high-quality papers from the conference will be assembled into a research book to be published after the conference by Heidelberg Press.

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.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP - 2nd Int. Workshop on Multimedia Data Mining (MDM/KDD2001) Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2001 19:22:49 +1100 From: "Simeon J. Simoff" <simeon(a)ARCH.USYD.EDU.AU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Our appologies for possible cross-postings CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Workshop on Multimedia Data Mining (MDM/KDD2001) in conjunction with Seventh ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining August 26-29, 2001, San Fransisco, CA, USA (SIG-KDD2001) Paper submission due May 15th 2001. The Web site of the workshop is at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~zaiane/mdm_kdd2001/ INTRODUCTION The increasing application of collaborative computing and multimedia document handling in the majority of government, business and educational intra- and internets provides enormous sources of various data, organized in different structures and formats. No wonder researchers in multimedia turned towards the field of data mining and knowledge discovery in databases in the search for techniques for improving the indexing and retrieval of multimedia information, as well as for extracting useful patterns from within multimedia. In the beginning, a variety of techniques from machine discovery, statistics, databases, knowledge acquisition, machine learning, data visualization, image analysis, high performance computing, and knowledge-based systems, have been used mainly as a research handcraft activity. The development of multimedia databases and their query interfaces recall again the idea of incorporating data mining methods for dynamic indexing. Recently data mining efforts have focused in less formalized fields of art, design, hypermedia information systems, case-based reasoning and computational modeling of creativity. These and similar fields use variety of data sources, incorporated through sophisticated digital media data structures. As a result there is an urgent need for new techniques and tools that can transform these rich data into useful information and knowledge. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in analysis of digital media content, state-of-art data mining and knowledge discovery in multimedia database systems, knowledge engineers and domain experts from different applied disciplines with potential in multimedia data mining. TOPICS OF INTEREST The major topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: - multimedia data mining methods and algorithms; - knowledge discovery and knowledge extraction from image data; - knowledge discovery and knowledge extraction from sound data; - knowledge discovery and knowledge extraction from video data; - automatic video annotation and indexing; - real-time object detection in video streams; - electronic documents - multimedia data representation and reuse of discovered knowledge; - content-based search, retrieval, and discovery methods; - uncertainty management in multimedia data mining; - complexity, efficiency and scalability of multimedia data mining algorithms; - the incorporation of domain knowledge; - multimedia data mining and interactive exploration; - multimedia data visualization and man-machine interfaces; - integrated data mining of text and image data; - data analysis of video and audio data; - representation of discovered knowledge - active storage for data mining in multimedia; - mining from unstructured and semi-structured data; - web-content mining; - data mining from XML documents; - mining from Geografic Information Systems. - data mining in collaborative virtual environments and virtual reality systems; We also encourage submissions, which present early stages of research work, software applications and solutions. SUBMISSIONS There is no restriction on the length of submissions. Contact author and email address should be specified.

Fwd: Journal of Database Management -- Content of Vol. 12, No. 2

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Journal of Database Management -- Content of Vol. 12, No. 2 Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2001 19:54:35 -0600 From: Keng Siau <ksiau(a)UNLNOTES.UNL.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE The contents of the latest issue of: Journal of Database Management (JDM) URL: http://www.idea-group.com/jdm.htm Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association Vol 12 #2, April - June 2001 Editor-in-Chief: Keng Siau, University of Nebraska-Lincoln RESEARCH PAPERS Article One Using Weakly Structured Documents to Fill in a Classical Database F. LAFOREST, Information Systems Laboratory, France A. FLORY, Information Systems Laboratory, France Electronic documents have become a universal way of communication due to Web expansion. But using structured information stored in databases is still essential for data coherence management and querying facilities. We thus face a classical problem known as "impedance mismatch" in the database world: two antagonist approaches have to collaborate. Using documents at the end-user interface level provides simplicity and flexibility. But it is possible to take documents as data sources only if helped by a human being: automatic documents analysis systems have a significant error rate. Databases are an alternative as semantics and format of information are strict: queries via SQL provide 100% correct responses. The aim of this work is to provide a system that associates document capture freedom with database storage structure. The system we propose does not intend to be universal. It can be used in specific cases where people usually work with technical documents dedicated to a particular domain. Our examples concern medicine and more explicitly medical records. Computerization has very often been rejected by physicians because it necessitates too much standardization, and form-based user interfaces are not adapted to their daily practice. In this domain, we think that this study provides a viable alternative approach. This system offers freedom to doctors: they would fill in documents with the information they want to store, in a convenient order and in a more free way. We have developed a system that allows users to fill in a database quasi automatically from document paragraphs. Article Two Providing Approximate Answers Using a Knowledge Abstraction Database SOON-YOUNG HUH, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology JUNG-WHAN LEE, SK Telecom, Korea As database users adopt a query language to obtain information from a database, a more intelligent query answering system is increasingly needed. Relational databases are exact in nature, but effectiveness of decision support would improve significantly if the query answering system returns approximate answers rather than a null information response when there is no matching data available. This paper proposes an abstraction hierarchy as a framework to practically derive such approximate answers from ordinary everyday databases. It provides a knowledge abstraction database to facilitate the approximate query answering. The knowledge abstraction database specifically adopts an abstraction approach to extract semantic data relationships from the underlying database, and uses a multi-level hierarchy for coupling multiple levels of abstraction knowledge and data values. In cooperation with the underlying database, the knowledge abstraction database allows the relaxation of query conditions so that the original query scope can be broadened and thus information approximate to exact answers can be obtained. Conceptually abstract queries can also be posed to provide a less rigid query interface. A prototype system has been implemented at KAIST and is being tested with a personnel database system to demonstrate the usefulness and practicality of the knowledge abstraction database in ordinary database systems. Article Three Hypermedia Document Management: A Metadata and Meta-Information System WOOJONG SUH, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology HEESEOK LEE, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Recently, many organizations have attempted to build hypermedia systems to expand their working areas into Internet-based virtual workplaces. Thus, it is important to manage corporate hypermedia documents effectively. Metadata plays a critical role for managing these documents. This paper identifies metadata roles and components to build a metadata schema. Furthermore, a meta-information system, HyDoMiS (Hyperdocument Meta-information System) is proposed that makes use of this metadata schema. HyDoMiS performs three functions: metadata management, search, and reporting. The metadata management function is concerned with workflow, documents, and databases. The system helps implement and maintain hypermedia information systems effectively. INDUSTRY & PRACTICE Mobile Computing at the Department of Defense James A. Rodger, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA Parag C. Pendharkar, Pennsylvania State University , USA Mehdi Khosrow-Pour, Pennsylvania State University , USA This paper is designed to relate the rationale used by the Department of Defense, to utilize Telemedicine, to meet increasing global crises, and for the U.S. military to find ways to more effectively manage manpower and time. A mobile Telemedicine package has been developed by the Department of Defense (DOD) to collect and transmit near-real-time, far-forward medical data and to assess how this improved capability enhances medical management of the battlespace. Telemedicine has been successful in resolving uncertain organizational and technological military deficiencies and in improving medical communications and information management. The deployable, mobile Teams are the centerpieces of this Telemedicine package. These teams have the capability of inserting essential networking and communications capabilities into austere theaters and establishing an immediate means for enhancing health protection, collaborative planning, situational awareness, and strategic decision-making.

Fwd: CFP: Workshop on Communication Modelling, LAP 2001

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: Workshop on Communication Modelling, LAP 2001 Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2001 18:41:24 +0100 From: Mareike Schoop <schoop(a)INFORMATIK.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS The Sixth International Workshop on the Language-Action Perspective on Communication Modelling LAP 2001 22-23 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/ 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.
