Tutorials will take place during the technical program. Workshops are planned for Saturday, December 1, 2001. CP'2001 tutorials are ideally targeted at the whole constraint community and should give a state of the art description of a field of research related to constraint programming or of a large area of application. Tutorials may address theoretical and/or practical aspect of constraint solving. Typical subjects, without any limitation are: numerical CSP, global constraints, n-ary constraints, soft constraints, mathematical programming, dynamic programming and constraints, cooperation between methods, local search, functional/concurrent/logic constraint programming, areas of application (e.g. bioinformatics)... CP'2001 workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. It is an opportunity to disseminate work in progress or to promote new and emerging areas within the field of constraints. The topics of the workshops can cover any area related to constraints and any related cross-disciplinary areas. The format of the workshop will be determined by the organizers. Workshops can vary in length with an expected duration ranging from half a day up to one day. Having two or three co-organizers for a workshop is strongly advised. Workshop attendees must either register for the main CP conference or pay a CP workshop only fee. Important Dates for Tutorials and Workshops July 30, 2001: Proposal submission deadline August 13, 2001: Acceptance notification November 26-30, 2001: CP technical program and tutorials December 1, 2001: CP'2001 workshops Requirements for Submission Proposals for tutorials and workshops should be between one and two pages in length, and should contain the following information (in english): - The title and a brief technical description of the tutorial/workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues that will be its focus and a preliminary schedule (duration). - A brief discussion of why and to whom the tutorial/workshop is of interest. - For workshops, if available, a list of tentatively confirmed attendees. - A list of related tutorial/workshops held within the last three years, if any, and their relation to the proposed tutorial/workshop. - The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, web page and email addresses (if available) of the proposed organizing committee.

Fwd: Call for Chapter Proposals
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Call for Chapter Proposals Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2001 11:45:43 +0200 From: Patrick van Bommel <pvb(a)cs.kun.nl> To: www-rdf-interest(a)w3.org (Please accept our apologies for multiple postings of this Call for Papers) ******** Call for Chapter Proposals ******** You are invited to propose papers for a BOOK on: Information - Modeling - for - Internet - Applications *** SCOPE Different kinds of objects are found on the Internet, including eg documents, structured databases, and search engines. This has resulted in new challenges for future information systems. Although the creation, manipulation, and retrieval of Internet documents has benefited from modeling techniques for information systems and databases, most web sites have one or more of the following problems: (a) structured search for documents is not sufficiently supported, (b) proving properties of web sites is difficult or impossible, (c) maintenance is not supported by formal mechanisms, and (d) personalization of information, or adaptation to user groups, is difficult or impossible. These problems are often caused by the fact that web sites are not properly modeled before they are implemented. This leads to a number of questions. What is an adequate web site modeling technique? What are the requirements for web site models? What are the problems in existing approaches? What are the possibilities of web site modeling in electronic commerce and distributed artificial intelligence? In order to deal with such questions, further theoretical foundation as well as practical application is needed. *** TOPICS Web-oriented conceptual modeling techniques Data modeling for web sites Integrity constraints in web sites Modeling the dynamic aspects of web sites Hypertext / hyperdocument - data modeling Personalization of web sites Models for adaptive hypertext Verification of web site properties Web development CASE tools Formal models of web sites Case studies on web site modeling Web site maintenance Models for the evolution of web sites Web query languages Integration of data modeling and document retrieval Multimedia data modeling in web site development Data distribution and integration via web sites Architectures for web-based information systems Other related topics may be proposed as well. The book will be published by IDEA GROUP PUBLISHING, Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA. *** IMPORTANT DATES May 30, 2001: submission of proposals June 30, 2001: notification of acceptance October 15, 2001: full chapters due December 31, 2001: revised chapters due March 1, 2002: final accepted chapters due *** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES You are invited to submit a proposal of 2-4 pages describing the focus of your paper. The proposal should also give the tentative organization of the paper (section titles with section summaries). Electronic submissions are required. Please e-mail your proposal or questions to P. van Bommel, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, pvb(a)cs.kun.nl with subject IGP-PROPOSAL. -------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: CfP SoftwareTrends.ch - Deadline April, 25
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CfP SoftwareTrends.ch - Deadline April, 25 Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 23:54:41 +0200 From: "Ulrike Lechner." <Ulrike.Lechner(a)UNISG.CH> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Call for Papers SoftwareTrends.ch Open Space Symposium for Business, Education and Research Business Strategy Based Software Engineering 20-22 September 2001 in Gersau at the lovely Lake Lucerne, Switzerland *** http://www.softwaretrends.ch *** *** Extended Deadline April, 25 *** SCOPE Enterprises heavily rely on successful software solutions to implement their business strategies. A smart business idea converted into a global Internet service may conquer the business world swiftly and reconfigure a whole business sector. Take Napster or B2B-marketplaces as examples. Furthermore, enterprise software is becoming more and more integrated as it supports business strategy. Examples of this include Intranets, extranets, enterprise information portals, knowledge management systems, PPM, ERP and Customer Relationship Management systems. In order to develop such complex software systems time-to-market, mature software engineering is increasingly becoming the critical issue in any software business strategy. Software engineering comprises the development of a product strategy, requirements engineering, modeling, implementation, maintenance and choices of paradigms, architectures and technology - often in an incremental and evolving process with short cycles and within a context of rapid technological advances, organizational transitions and changing markets. Management of an organization thus also means management of the software engineering process. We call for papers that present an original contribution to software engineering and that explore the trends, the forthcoming issues and open questions in software business. This Open Space Symposium aims at bringing together people from both business and software engineering perspectives, people in industry, education and science. Our goal is to explore the future trends and to work jointly on open questions posed by the participants. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Business models and their relation to software engineering: open source, ASP,... - Software engineering methods and processes: UML, RUP, eXtreme Programming... - Requirements, knowledge and quality management in software engineering, ... - Software architectures and programming paradigms: agent-oriented and component based design, design patterns, peer-to-peer computing ... - Software engineering for information systems, e-commerce, e-business, e-government, mobile and multi-media systems, web-engineering, .... - Software engineering education - Case studies, empirical studies, best practices and lessons learned IMPORTANT DEADLINES: Submissions: April 25, 2001 (Extended Deadline) Notification: June 1, 2001 Final version: August 1, 2001 Symposium: September 20-22, 2001 What is Open Space? Participants contribute with their expert knowledge and show openly their current problems. Unlike classical conferences, Open Space starts where presentations end - with open questions: - instead of presenting ready-made solutions, people discuss in a team a problem of common interest, - topics of discussion are not a-priori defined by the organizers, they are provided during the open space by attendees, - a discussion on a topic is ongoing as long as it is interesting for the group or a satisfactory solution is found. All together: Open Space does not reflect the research accomplished in the past. It provides knowledge and support to manage the challenges of today. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Submissions describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and are 6-8 pages in length. A submission may contain an extra appendix that details the subject and is considered for the review. A submission comprises a section motivating and discussing open questions, trends, future issues and challenges in the subject. Submissions have to include a title, authors, affiliations, and a 150-word abstract and are written in English or German. One author of each accepted paper must register for the conference.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: TOC: Electronic Payment Systems Observatory-Newsletter (ePSO-N) - No 6 - March 2001 Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 10:16:18 +0200 From: Hans-Dieter Zimmermann <Hans-Dieter.Zimmermann(a)UNISG.CH> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE ---------------------- Apologies for Cross Posting --------------------- ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SYSTEMS OBSERVATORY-NEWSLETTER ePSO-Newsletter - No 6 - March 2001 http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter OVERVIEW of ePSO-N 06 [6&1] Editorial: The Rise of Convenience: Clickable, Convertible, Contactless Arnd Weber (arnd.weber(a)itas.fzk.de), ITAS, Karlsruhe, Germany /payment server/electronic money In this issue we continue to focus on Internet payments. Our emphasis is on solutions which require little technology on the consumer side, just a few clicks. This includes innovative pre- and postpaid solutions. Prepaid solutions are also the subject of our country report on Japan, focusing on contactless payments. If any such new technologies are incompatible, providers can make them convertible, therefore we discuss the cases of Bibit, SmartAxis and TWYP. Finally, we report about the Norwegian payment systems and the EU's Financial Internet Working Group. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/1.html __________________________________________________ [6&2] Access is King: About the Bright Future of Server-based E-payment Systems Knud Boehle (bohle(a)jrc.es), Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, Seville, Spain /payment server/Internet payment systems/innovation/technology assessment Looking at recent Internet payment developments, a paradigm shift from a decentralised to a central server approach is observed. At first sight it is about front-end innovations substituting payment software in the hands of customers and merchants by access to a central payment server. But the new approach holds further promises as an innovation of the payment infrastructure: integrating different payment methods, integrating i-payments and m-payments, enhancing the mere payment service by additional services such as bill presentment or Internet banking functions. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/2.html __________________________________________________ [6&3] Scratch Cards: Here to Stay? Michael Rader (rader(a)itas.fzk.de), ITAS, Karlsruhe, Germany /scratch cards/prepaid schemes/micropayments/anonymity Recently several systems for low-value payments on the Internet based on "scratch cards" have seen the light of day in different countries. While these have several attractive features in common which suggest that they stand a good chance of achieving a breakthrough in use by young people and for anonymous payments, one of the earliest schemes from the US, Cybermoola, has vanished from the scene. The article identifies some factors which might have been responsible for failure, such as lack of backing by a major bank, costs and lack of complete anonymity. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/3.html __________________________________________________ [6&4] E-money Solution from Austria: Paysafecard.com Peter Paul Sint (sint(a)oeaw.ac.at), Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria /scratch cards/prepaid schemes/micropayments/anonymity/Austria Paysafecard operates a payment service using prepaid cards with identification numbers for limited amounts of money. Different cards for adults and minors are sold. First acceptance is good, and the service will be offered in an increasing number of European countries. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/4.html __________________________________________________ [6&5] Solving the Standardisation Problem of Internet-payments: The Case of Bibit, TWYP and SmartAxis Simon Lelieveldt (simonl(a)wxs.nl), Amsterdam, the Netherlands /standards/regulation/competition/integrators Many policy-makers and politicians believe that the multitude of local payment methods constitutes a barrier to cross-border electronic trade over the Internet. As a result they call for standardisation of payment methods. The lack of standardisation could however also be viewed as a business opportunity. This article describes how this business opportunity is being exploited for both chipcard-based and other payment instruments on the web. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/5.html __________________________________________________ [6&6] Fast Electronic Purses and Transport Tickets in Japan Arnd Weber (arnd.weber(a)itas.fzk.de), ITAS, Karlsruhe, Germany /electronic money/public transport/contactless smartcard/magnetic cards/transport ticket/Japan Japanese companies from different industries have developed and already started to deploy fast contactless electronic purse and transport ticketing schemes. The purses are expected to be used mainly in transport, but also at other vending machines, in convenience stores, and in both normal and cyber shops. Mobile phones are planned to be used for payment and reloading. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/6.html __________________________________________________ [6&7] European Commission's Financial Internet Working Group Outlines its Work Charles Goldfinger (CHARLES_GOLD(a)COMPUSERVE.COM), Chairman of FIWG, Brussels, Belgium /Cyberfinance/electronic payment systems/internet/ security/electronic banking/EC project The "Financial Internet Working Group" is a cross-sectoral, cross-institutional forum that brings together financial institutions and technology providers, traditional players and newcomers, public authorities and the private sector. Its overall objective is to facilitate the deployment of cyberfinance within Europe with a focus on three areas: institutional payment systems, retail banking, securities markets. FIWG is a project of Key Action II (New Methods of Work and Electronic Commerce) and forms as such part of the European Commission's Information Society Technologies (IST) specific program. Although it is EC funded FIWG acts independently. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/7.html __________________________________________________ [6&8] Payment Systems Data: Norges Bank Shows the Way Leo Van Hove (Leo.Van.Hove(a)vub.ac.be), Free University of Brussels, Belgium /review/payment systems/costs of payment systems/pricing/Norway The recent Report on Payment Systems by the Norges Bank presents a clear picture of the Norwegian payment system and provides a wealth of statistical data. It is easily the best report of its kind and an example for other central banks. Especially the data on price trends of payment instruments and the resulting impact on the use of the different means of payment are of interest. http://epso.jrc.es/newsletter/vol06/8.html __________________________________________________ [6&9] Masthead Electronic Payment Systems Observatory-Newsletter ePSO-Newsletter - 2001 - No 6 - March 2001 The Electronic Payment Systems Observatory-Newsletter (ePSO-N) is an activity within the "electronic Payment Systems Observatory" (ePSO) project of the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS), one of the eight institutes of DG Joint Research Center.

A smart business idea converted into a global Internet service may conquer the business world swiftly and reconfigure a whole business sector. Take Napster or B2B-marketplaces as examples. Furthermore, enterprise software is becoming more and more integrated as it supports business strategy. Examples of this include Intranets, extranets, enterprise information portals, knowledge management systems, PPM, ERP and Customer Relationship Management systems. In order to develop such complex software systems time-to-market, mature software engineering is increasingly becoming the critical issue in any software business strategy. Software engineering comprises the development of a product strategy, requirements engineering, modeling, implementation, maintenance and choices of paradigms, architectures and technology - often in an incremental and evolving process with short cycles and within a context of rapid technological advances, organizational transitions and changing markets. Management of an organization thus also means management of the software engineering process. We call for papers that present an original contribution to software engineering and that explore the trends, the forthcoming issues and open questions in software business. This Open Space Symposium aims at bringing together people from both business and software engineering perspectives, people in industry, education and science. Our goal is to explore the future trends and to work jointly on open questions posed by the participants. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Business models and their relation to software engineering: open source, ASP,... - Software engineering methods and processes: UML, RUP, eXtreme Programming... - Requirements, knowledge and quality management in software engineering, ... - Software architectures and programming paradigms: agent-oriented and component based design, design patterns, peer-to-peer computing ... - Software engineering for information systems, e-commerce, e-business, e-government, mobile and multi-media systems, web-engineering, .... - Software engineering education - Case studies, empirical studies, best practices and lessons learned IMPORTANT DEADLINES: Submissions: April 25, 2001 (Extended Deadline) Notification: June 1, 2001 Final version: August 1, 2001 Symposium: September 20-22, 2001 What is Open Space? Participants contribute with their expert knowledge and show openly their current problems. Unlike classical conferences, Open Space starts where presentations end - with open questions: - instead of presenting ready-made solutions, people discuss in a team a problem of common interest, - topics of discussion are not a-priori defined by the organizers, they are provided during the open space by attendees, - a discussion on a topic is ongoing as long as it is interesting for the group or a satisfactory solution is found. All together: Open Space does not reflect the research accomplished in the past. It provides knowledge and support to manage the challenges of today. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Submissions describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and are 6-8 pages in length. A submission may contain an extra appendix that details the subject and is considered for the review. A submission comprises a section motivating and discussing open questions, trends, future issues and challenges in the subject. Submissions have to include a title, authors, affiliations, and a 150-word abstract and are written in English or German. One author of each accepted paper must register for the conference.

Fwd: Information Systems Action Research

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Information Systems Action Research Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 15:19:50 -0700 From: "Wynn, Eleanor" <eleanor.wynn(a)INTEL.COM> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE I would like to call your attention to a special issue of Information Technology & People on Information Systems Action Research, guest edited by Ned Kock of Temple University and Francis Lau of University of Victoria. The editors have done an outstanding job of putting together a valuable set of papers on this research approach, which has broad application in Information Systems and indeed may color many research efforts that don't espouse action research explicitly. I know how hard the editors worked on this issue (very hard), as well as how hard they lobbied to include all of the papers contained in it. We printed almost half again our usual page count because the quality of the papers made it difficult to keep to an arbitrary limit. I feel the issue serves as a reference book. If you were thinking of asking for a sample copy of Information Technology & People and might be interested in action research, please go to the journal web page http://www.mcb.co.uk/itp.htm and select Free Trial from the left-hand column under "About.
