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.

2nd International WORKSHOP
ENGINEERING SOCIETIES in the AGENTS' WORLD
ESAW'01
http://lia.deis.unibo.it/confs/ESAW01/
7 July 2001, Czech Technical University, Prague (Czech Republic)
Co-located with the
Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence (ACAI-01), incorporating the
Third European Agent Systems Summer School (2-13 July 2001)
and
The Second AgentLink II General Meeting (9-11 July 2001)
Deadline for Submission: 14 May 2001
The ESAW workshop series is the result of a collaboration promoted by
AgentLink, the European Network of Excellence on Agent-Based
Computing. The organizers of the present edition wish to acknowledge
the permission granted to mark the event with the AgentLink II seal of
quality. This event is also supported by the Austrian Society for
Artificial Intelligence, ÖGAI.
AIMS & SCOPE
As we are moving rapidly into the age of ubiquitous and persistent
information services, the pressure on information technology designers
and implementors is mounting steadily to provide sustainable solutions
for the deployment, utilization and regulation of computational
infrastructures that pose unheard of challenges in terms of
quantitative as well as qualitative dimensions. This state of affairs
is reflected in the inflationary explosion of "ilities" and iQuos
populating system-wide requirement lists, when little is still known
about such fundamental design criteria as whether any of these
properties can be introduced gradually into existing environments or
whether "cannot be added after the fact" spells out an unrelenting
basic tenet of the game.
Pursuit of the mission to foster and maintain communication across
this variegated landscape is as indispensable as it poses an exciting
challenge by itself, at a time where disparate approaches to tackle
this grand challenge develop at a flabbergasting pace under the guises
of novel coordination sciences; grids trying to harness lessons of
good engineering; service-providing interaction intermediaries;
analyses of situated activity and research in the social sciences;
abductively derived multi-MAS infrastructures; extensions of proven
object-oriented best practices so as to get a handle on interaction;
or application-driven industrial entries.
The sequel to last year's highly successful first edition, and with
the intent to contribute significantly to maintain the momentum
established with recent publications such as the special volume of
Applied Artificial Intelligence on Coordination (15(1), 2001); the
post-proceedings of ESAW'00 (Springer-Verlag LNAI 1972); and the book
on Coordination of Internet Agents (Springer-Verlag, 2001); ESAW 01
remains committed to the use of the notion of multi-agent systems as
seed for animated constructive discussions of high quality about
technologies, methodologies, and models for the engineering of complex
distributed applications. Focussing on social aspects of MAS, the
workshop places an emphasis on technology and methodology issues,
while also welcoming theoretical and empirical contributions with
well-documented connections to these core subjects.
TOPICS OF INTEREST therefore include:
* coordination models and technologies for engineering of agent societies
* analysis, design, development and verification of agent societies
* engineering social intelligence and emergent behaviours in MAS
* application experiences in building agent societies
* centralised vs. decentralised social control
* interaction-coordination patterns in agent societies
* security and mobility issues in agent societies
* enabling infrastructures for agent societies
* visibility and individuality of agents
* methodologies, tools and artifacts for engineering agent societies
* design vs. self-organisation
* insightful analyses of negative results

CALL FOR PAPERS
JOURNAL OF THE OPERATIONAL RESEARCH SOCIETY
Special issue of JORS on
Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital
Guest Editors
John S. Edwards and Elayne Coakes
This special issue of JORS, due to be published in 2002, will be dedicated
to papers on the related subjects of knowledge management and intellectual
capital. It is clear that operational researchers have contributions to
offer to the area, especially by bringing holistic and multi-disciplinary
perspectives. These might include case studies; theoretical developments;
or agenda-setting contributions; as well as analyses that are qualitative,
quantitative, or a mixture of the two. A particular aim for this special
issue is to address the needs of practitioners as well as academics by
achieving a balance between theory and practice, and especially covering
the middle ground where the two meet. [Note that a separate statement
summarising the contribution of the paper to the practice or theory of OR
must now accompany all papers submitted to JORS.]
Contributions are invited on any aspect of knowledge management and/or
intellectual capital, including (but not limited to) the following:
Corporate/organisational memory
Measuring intellectual capital
Linking intellectual capital with other forms of performance measurement
Utilising intellectual capital for competitive advantage
Processes and systems for knowledge creation, transfer, organising,
sharing, storage, use or re-use
Promoting a knowledge sharing culture
Managing knowledge management projects
Multi-cultural and cross-cultural issues
Wealth creation through knowledge management and intellectual capital
management
Deploying and exploiting intellectual capital for effective productivity
Designing organisations and ways of working to maximise intellectual
capital application
Human centred assets
Benchmarking for intellectual capital
Simulations and the creation of knowledge and intellectual capital
The normal refereeing procedures and standards of JORS will apply. Four
copies of the manuscript should be received at the Editorial Office by
April 30th, 2001. Guidelines and information for contributors may be found
inside the back cover of any issue of JORS, or on the OR Society's web
site at http://www.orsoc.org.uk/readme/publication/index_f.html
The Guest Editors will be happy to answer any queries from potential
authors.
