(1) Workshop title
(2) Workshop organizers with full contact information
(3) Description of the workshop including objectives, content, and
format of the workshop
(4) List of potential attendees
(5) List of potential authors of workshop contributions
June 29, 2001: Notification of workshop proposal acceptance.
Suggested Timeline for Workshop Chairs
======================================
July 13, 2001: Workshop call for papers has been sent out.
September 14, 2001: Workshop paper submissions due.

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 ***
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 15, 2001
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.

Subject: Workshop on Electronic Market Design
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 18:43:45 +0200
From: Rudolf Mueller <R.Muller(a)KE.UNIMAAS.NL>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Call for participation
Infonomics workshop on Electronic Market Design
July 11 - 13, 2001
Maastricht, The Netherlands
www.etrade.infonomics.nl/workshop
With more and more firms using the Internet for selling and purchasing
goods, the design of trading mechanisms
becomes one of the most important issues in electronic commerce research. In
the past economic theory has observed
markets and tried to explain market outcome and agent behaviour. Electronic
trading mechanisms change this picture
as they can fix market rules. Market mechanisms can further rely on an
amount of information exchange and processing
that was not feasible before. An electronic marketplace therefore becomes an
artifact that can be designed and planned
specifically to the needs of participants. But not only electronic commerce
has an interest in electronic market design.
Market-based coordination in multi-agent systems, and market-based
algorithms in combinatorial optimization, for
example in scheduling, enjoy a significant research interest and require
insights in strategies, incentives and equilibria in markets.
Research in electronic market design is interdisciplinary not only because
of very different applications, but also
because of different problems that require solutions. The design asks for a
game theory analysis of strategies and
equilibria. Then the implementation of a particular design has to take
computational complexity into account. Finally, the
question of behavior of a human agent has to be evaluated, for example by
experimental economics.
The program committee of the workshop has invited excellent researchers from
various fields to give a presentation on the most important research topics.
Areas of research include combinatorial optimization, multi-agent systems,
game theory, microeconomics, and information systems.
For further information and registration go to
www.etrade.infonomics.nl/workshop
Registration including a hotel reservation has to be done until May 4, 2001.
Registration without hotel reservation is possible until June 15, 2001.
With kind regards
Rudolf Mueller

Sehr geehrte Dame,
sehr geehrter Herr,
ich erlaube mir, Ihnen das Preliminary Programme and Call for Paper
unseres Kybernetik-Kongresses zu übermitteln. Vielleicht findet
bereits im vorläufigen Programm etwas Ihr Interesse.
Ich möchte Sie einladen, entweder mit einer wissenschaftlichen Arbeit
oder als Zuhörer/in am Kongress teilzunehmen. Die Teilnahme ist
übrigens für Studierende gratis.
Mit den besten Wünschen für schöne Ostern und herzlichen Grüßen,
