---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Call for Abstracts - Business & Enterprise Ontologies Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 19:21:24 +0200 From: Michele Missikoff <missikoff(a)IASI.RM.CNR.IT> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE International Workshop on Open Enterprise Solutions: Systems, Experiences, Organizations, http://cersi.luiss.it/oesseo2001 LUISS University, Rome, 14-15 September 2001. (Co-located with VLDB 2001) *** Thematic Session on *** -- Business and Enterprise Ontologies: Systems, Methods, Experiences -- Coordinator: M.Missikoff, Lab. for Enterprise Knowledge and Systems, IASI-CNR Speed, flexibility, and openness are among the key factors for an enterprise that wants to compete in the Net Economy. Openness implies, among other aspects, the capability to starting cooperations with new partners, rapidly reaching a common understanding of the shared business. To this end, solutions based on computational ontologies appear to emerging as promising ones. An ontology is a shared understanding of a given domain, implemented as a structured repository of inter-related concepts. A Business and Enterprise Ontology (BEO) should contain the relevant concepts, necessary to model an enterprise and the business environment it operates in (e.g., market, logistics, partners and competitors). A BEO is a useful starting point for business process (re)engineering, enterprise (re)organization, product specification. On a more technical ground, a BEO may represent an important staring point for the development of interoperable information systems. For these reasons, we believe that among the Open Enterprise Solutions, in the near future we will count Enterprise and Business Ontologies. In this thematic session we wish to invite the submission of extended abstracts to create a session where ideas, experiences, and even relevant problems will be presented and discussed, in an open setting. The accepted abstracts will be included in the workshop proceedings. - IMPORTANT DATES - Extended Abstract Submission Deadline: July 8th, 2001 Notification of acceptance: July 17th, 2001 Final version due: July 27th, 2001 Send an extended abstract to: leks(a)iasi.rm.cnr.it ================================================================== Michele Missikoff - Coordinator: LEKS - Laboratory for Enterprise Knowledge and Systems, at IASI-CNR Viale Manzoni 30, 00185 Rome (Italy) e-mail: missikoff(a)iasi.rm.cnr.it ph.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP - CACM special issue on Ontological Engineering Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 16:15:40 -0600 From: Jintae Lee <jintae(a)Colorado.Edu> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Please note that the following call is also available in HTML at http://bus.colorado.edu/faculty/lee/ontologyCACMcfp.htm In knowledge engineering, ontology has come to mean knowledge- level characterization of a domain or a task structure. As such, ontological engineering -- the principled design, maintenance, and application of ontologies -- has received much attention not only in academia but also in industry as it is critical in information systems and eCommerce design. For example, well-engineered domain or task ontologies are prerequisites for knowledge-level interoperability among information systems (e.g. B2B ontologies) as well as for intelligent processing by agents (e.g. search, error checking, privacy) for sharing and reuse of knowledge. Ontologies have been also studied in the context of process modeling, environmental engineering, aircraft design, machine translation, repository and catalog development in digital libraries, among others. The goal of this special issue is to provide a picture of the accomplishments to date in this field, the progress being made, and their potential relevance to the general readership of CACM. We encourage papers that address fundamental issues and principles of ontological engineering rather than papers on specific ontologies. In particular we solicit submissions on the following, though not exclusive, topics: # Characterization of the scope and lifecycle of ontological engineering (e.g. design, management, sharing, reuse, evaluation, interoperability, implementation) # Critical analysis of the issues in each phase of ontological engineering in the context of a specific ontology (e.g. scheduling, process, common sense, eBusiness, digital library ontologies) # Comparative survey of the existing ontologies and/or methodologies # Knowledge transfer across ontologies # Frameworks for reuse and sharing of ontologies # Lessons from successes and failures in ontological engineering # Roles of data structuring technologies such as XML and RDF in ontological engineering Guest Editors: Jintae Lee, Univ. of Colorado at Boulder (Information Systems Division) Michael Gruninger, Univ. of Maryland (Institute for Systems Research) and NIST The deadline for the submission is August 15, 2001. Authors will be notified in November, 2001. The theme issue is scheduled to appear in February, 2002. All submissions must follow the CACM authors revised (as of May 2001) guideline (http://www.acm.org/cacm/Authors.html). The articles submitted may range from short articles (less than 1000 words) to regular size articles (not exceed 3,000 words and have no more than three figures and three tables). All submissions should contain the following information: # A principal contact author and his/her contact information including email address, fax number, telephone number, and postal address # A list of three potential reviewers The paper should be submitted to the following address in the specified format # Three hardcopies sent to: Robert Fox, Office of Publications One Astor Plaza 1515 Broadway New York, New York 10036- 5701 AND # An electronic file in the pdf or the Word format as an email attachment to BOTH: jintae(a)colorado.edu and gruning(a)nist.gov Please direct any inquiry or comment to Jintae (jintae(a)colorado.edu) Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release form. *************************************** Jintae Lee, Associate Professor Information Systems (Campus Box 419) University of Colorado, Boulder 80309-0419 303-492-4149 (Fax) 303-492-5962 ****************************************** ___________________________________________________________________ | The Communications of AIS and The Journal of AIS are electronic | publications sponsored by the Association for Information Systems | JAIS: http://jais.aisnet.org/ - CAIS: http://cais.aisnet.org/ |----------------------- ISWorld Net Footer ------------------------ | Need help with ISWorld? -> http://isds.bus.lsu.edu/cvoc/isworld/ | If you can't find an answer contact isworld_manager(a)cornell.edu |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: SAC 2002 Coordination Track: CfP&R
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Jun '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: SAC 2002 Coordination Track: CfP&R Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 09:22:07 +0200 From: Sascha Ossowski <sossowski(a)escet.urjc.es> To: Sascha Ossowski <s.ossowski(a)escet.urjc.es> CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES ============================ (Apologies if you receive multiple copies) 17th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2002) Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications March 10-14, 2002 Madrid, SPAIN ( http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2002/ ) SAC 2002 ~~~~~~~~ Over the past sixteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work. SAC 2002 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) and is presented in cooperation with other ACM Special Interest Groups. SAC 2002 is hosted by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical sessions. There will be a number of special tracks on such issues as Programming Languages, Parallel and Distributed Computing, Agent Systems, Multimedia and Visualization, etc. Coordination Models, Languages and Applications Track ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building on the success of the four previous editions (1998-2001), a special track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at SAC 2002. Over the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of models, formalisms and mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed computations and systems based on the concept of coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to enable the integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous components (processes, objects, agents) in such a way that the resulting ensemble can execute as a whole, forming a software system with desired characteristics and functionalities which possibly takes advantage of parallel and distributed systems. The coordination paradigm is closely related to other contemporary software engineering approaches such as component-based systems and middleware platforms. Furthermore, the concept of coordination exists in many other Computer Science areas such as Cooperative Information Systems, Distributed Artificial Intelligence, and Internet Technologies. The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications deliberately takes a broad view of what is coordination: this term covers here traditional models and languages (e.g., the ones based on the Shared Dataspace and CHAM metaphors), but also other related notions and formalisms such as configuration and architectural description frameworks, models of multi-agent planning, organization and decision-making, systems modeling abstractions and languages, programming skeletons, etc. Correspondingly, in addition to the traditional areas covering data- driven (such as Linda) and control-driven (such as Manifold) models and languages, this Special Track aims at putting together contributions from all the many areas where the concept of coordination is relevant, such as multi-agent systems, software architectures, middleware platforms, groupware and workflow management, etc, providing them with a common forum where to discuss their different viewpoints and share ideas. On this very subject, it is worth to remind that the last editions of this Track were undoubtedly successful under many points of view, but in particular in attracting relevant and consistent contributions from many different research communities. According to that, major topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Novel models, languages, programming and implementation techniques * Applications (especially where the industry is involved) * Theoretical aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification) * Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile and intelligent agents * Software architectures and software engineering techniques * Configuration and Architecture Description Languages * Middleware platforms (e.g. CORBA) * All aspects related to the modeling of Information Systems (groupware, Internet and the Web, workflow management, CSCW) * Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures * Internet- and Web-based coordinated systems * Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented, declarative (functional, logic, constraint) programming or extensions of them with coordination capabilities Proceedings and Post-proceedings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Papers accepted for the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2002 proceedings and in the Digital Library. Among the papers accepted and presented at the Track, a further selection will be performed according to quality and relevance criteria, to produce a "Special Issue on Coordination and Knowledge Engineering" of The Knowledge Engineering Review http://uk.cambridge.org/journals/ker/ Even though this will not affect paper acceptance to SAC 2002, referees will be separately asked to express their advice on relevance of papers to the Special Issue since the first review step. Accordingly, we encourage potential authors of papers submitted to the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications to take a look to KER's aims and scope.

This includes three categories of submissions: 1) original and unpublished research; 2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, business, government, education and industry; and 3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. The accepted papers in all categories will be published in the ACM SAC 2002 proceedings. Submission guidelines must be strictly followed: * Submit your paper *electronically* in either PDF or postscript format to one of the Track Program Chairmen of the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications (addresses are shown above). Please *note*: neither hardcopy nor fax submissions will be accepted. Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paperformats like letter and DIN A4. Please use a Postscript previewer such as Ghostview to check the portability of Postscript documents. The acceptable compression formats for submissions are Zip and Tar. * The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review. * The body of the paper should not exceed 5,000 words (approximately 15 pages, double-spaced). * A separate cover sheet (in the case of electronic submission this should be sent separately from the main paper) should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which correspondence should be sent. * All submissions must be received by September 1, 2001. Referees ~~~~~~~~ Over the last four years, the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications has built its success also over the work of many volunteer referees.

See the CFP below for details. On the joint session between ILP and LLL, Dan Roth, University of Illinois, will give a plenary talk. Best regards Lubos Popelinsky and Miloslav Nepil 3rd LEARNING LANGUAGE IN LOGIC (LLL) WORKSHOP http://www.fi.muni.cz/ilpnet2/LLL2001 8th - 9th September 2001, Strasbourg Co-located with ILP 2001 CALL FOR WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS -------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS Please submit by sending electronically to lll01(a)fi.muni.cz a full paper (PS or PDF format) up to 12 pages in LNCS/LNAI Springer style. Paper submission deadline: June, 24 Notification of acceptance: July, 9 Final version due: July, 27 Works in progress will be published in working notes (Technical Report of FI MU Brno). PRESENTATION Our purpose is to provide a forum for discussion on all aspects of learning language in logic. It is the follow-up of the previous LLL workshops held in 1999 in Bled, Slovenia, and in 2000 in Lisboa, Portugal. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are working on learning from text, while emphasizing the logic-based learning techniques and algorithms. We strongly encourage contributions concerning semantic analysis of natural languages, describing logic-based learning techniques alternative to ILP, employing active learning or solving tasks for other languages than English. These techniques include but are not limited to: - Combinations of approaches and multi-strategy learning - Instance-based and clustering approaches in relational learning - Scalability issues (applying logic-based methods to large data sets) - Logical approaches to statistical NLP - Higher-order logic for LLL - Handling very complex terms - Collaborative and interactive learning - Shallow parsing - Grammar learning - Learning subcategorisation frames - Part-of-speech tagging - Morphosyntactic tagging - Morphological analysis - Information indexing, filtering, retrieval, extraction - Text classification methods - Question answering - Learning ontologies, thesauri and lexicon - Extracting predicate-argument structure PROGRAM CHAIR Lubos Popelinsky (Masaryk University in Brno, Czechia) MEMBERS Pieter Adriaans (Syllogic and University of Amsterdam, Netherlands) James Cussens (University of York, UK) Martin Eineborg (University of Stockholm, Sweden) Tomaz Erjavec (Institute Jozef Stefan, Slovenia) Suresh Manandhar (University of York, UK) Claire Nedellec (LRI, University of Paris-Sud, France) Guenter Neumann (DFKI, Saarbrücken, Germany) Stefan Wrobel (University of Magdeburg, Germany) ORGANIZATION Nicolas Lachiche (LSIIT Strasbourg, France) INVITED SPEAKER Dan Roth (University of Illinois, USA) SUPPORT LLL 2001 is financially supported by the Network of Excellence in Inductive Logic Programming ILPnet2 funded under the European Union's INCO program. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lubos Popelinsky Voice: +420 5 41512 324 Dept. of Comp.Sci., Faculty of Informatics Fax : +420 5 4121 2568 Masaryk University, Botanicka 68a Email: popel(a)fi.muni.cz CZ-602 00 Brno, Czech Republic www.fi.muni.cz/~popel -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
