---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: cfp mobile internet based services and information logistics Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2001 12:44:23 +0200 From: Gabriele Kotsis <gabriele.kotsis(a)wu-wien.ac.at> To: wi(a)wu-wien.ac.at EXTENDED DEADLINE: June 23 2001 Workshop on mobile internet based services and information logistics Workshop, GI/OCG-Jahrestagung 2001, September 26-28, 2001, Vienna, Austria Workshop focus Recent technology development (internet, mobile telecommunication, internet appliances) brings the idea of ubiquitious computing close to reality. This opens the perspective of information availability at any place at any time to the network economy. Thus, mobile internet computing becomes extremely attractive, there is a fast growing demand from users regarding mobile communications and mobile information access. This demand is driven by a broad area of application scenarios. On the other hand there are many open problems for research including both, hardware and software issues. However information availability at any place also opens up the issue of information overload. More sophisticated mobile applications must yield a personalized, demand driven information supply. We call those applications, delivering the right information at the right time to the right place, information logistical applications. The workshop is oriented towards people from research and industy dealing with the topics addressed above. The objective of the workshop is to discuss technological and organizational issues as well as user requirements towards mobile internet applications serving the aforementioned principles of information logistics. Topics We are interested in papers focussing on concepts for mobile internet applications especially leading to information logistical applications. Papers can describe basic research, novel applications and experience reports relevant in the following fields: 1.Modelling Techniques for modelling information demand (explicit models as well as implicit demand analysis) Mobile computing (models of locations and situations, location based services, privacy models and awareness in mobile applications) Information filtering / information demand models 2.Architectures and services Mobile IP Wireless application protocol Mobile internet services Architectures for mobile applications 3.Applications Show cases, experience reports Information logistical application services Submissions of Papers Contributors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 6 pages in IEEE Transactions format. Please do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer than this. Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor currently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will be subjected to a refereeing process. Manuscripts should have a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name(s) of author(s), affiliation(s), complete postal and electronic mail address(es), and telephone number(s), a 100-word abstract and five specific keywords. Papers should be written in English.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Call for papers: NL 2002 - Networked Learning in a Global Environ ment Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2001 11:43:55 +0200 From: Klaus Turowski <turowski(a)ITI.CS.UNI-MAGDEBURG.DE> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS World Conference NL 2002 - Networked Learning in a Global Environment: Challenges and Solutions for Virtual Education May 1 - 4, 2002, Technical University of Berlin, Germany http://www.icsc-naiso.org/conferences/nl2002 BACKGROUND AND SCOPE Telecommunications, computer networks, multimedia technologies, and the World Wide Web have opened up entirely new ways of teaching and learning ( across institutions, physical locations, countries, continents, and time zones. Students may work distributed worldwide and nevertheless interact in a virtual community. Academic programs are no longer provided by single institutions only but can be established by networked organizations like virtual universities or virtual faculties. Best-of-breed programs are created in the Internet by bringing together top experts from different schools in a virtual program. Powerful wireless technologies will accelerate these developments in the future. Distance education is no longer a matter of "learning in isolation". Collaborative tools like discussion groups, chatrooms, videoconferencing, etc. support immediate interaction between students and teachers and among students in virtual communities. In-company training does not require travelling and physical presence but can be done at the workplace. Geographical locations of students and teachers loose importance. Education in the 21st century is shifting from "real" to "virtual". Physical classes are more and more replaced by virtual networks of students and teachers. CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference focuses on technological and organizational aspects of networked learning and teaching. Topics include, but are not restricted to: - Organization of networked learning * Virtual universities and networked e-learning organizations * Corporate virtual universities, in-company training in distributed enterprises * Integrated e-learning systems, portals, marketplaces, and providers * New academic programs by virtual organizations and cooperation projects * E-learning for business professionals * Open source initiatives for e-learning * Pricing and business models for virtual distance learning * Success stories and pitfalls in e-learning - Technology * Enabling technologies for networked learning: telecommunications and computer networks * Internet suited multimedia technologies: Audio and video streaming etc., learning on demand * Mobile learning: Wireless technologies, UMTS, GPRS, WAP * Leading edge and emerging technologies: Virtual reality, software agents, artificial intelligence tools * Integration of collaborative tools: Discussion groups, chatrooms, whiteboards, shared workspaces, e-mail, videoconferencing * Virtual classrooms for worldwide classes, virtual learning communities * Virtual management games * Quality assurance for virtual education - Content production and delivery * Architectures and platforms for distributed teaching and learning * Multimedia production tools, authoring tools, delivery tools * E-learning life cycle models - Globalization * The role of traditional educational institutions in global virtual learning * Cross-cultural learning * Networked learning and developing countries * Legal aspects and security of networked learning CONTRIBUTIONS * Regular Papers Prospective authors are requested to submit a paper of max. 7 pages to the address below (conference organizer). All papers must be written in English, starting with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work. * Poster Presentations Poster presentations are encouraged for people who wish to receive peer feedback for their work. Practical examples of applied research are particularly welcome. Papers discussing the respective posters will be included in the conference proceedings. (max 4 pages) * Panels Proposals for panels should include a concise outline of the topics to be addressed (2-3 pages) and list the panel members and their affiliations. * Workshops Proposals for workshops are encouraged. However, workshops should be clearly distinct from paper sessions, focussing on experimental work, hands-on experience, case studies, games, interactive exercises, and open discussions. Proposals should include a concise outline of the nature of the workshop and the expected outcome (2-3 pages). * Tutorials Proposals for half-day tutorials (three hours) should clearly indicate the topic, background knowledge expected of the participants, objectives, time allocations for the major course topics, and the qualifications of the instructor(s). * Exhibition NL 2002 will be accompanied by a professional exhibition. Interested organisations are requested to contact the conference organizers (see below).

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Sustainable development CFC -deadline extended Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2001 13:09:21 +0800 From: Mohammed Quaddus <QuaddusM.CBS.CBS(a)CBS.CURTIN.EDU.AU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Dear All, Apologies for cross posting. Few researchers have asked for some extra time to submit the chapter proposal. The new deadline is now June 22. Please submit your proposal by this new deadline. See below for original CFC. Cheers. ==Mohammed Quaddus _____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________ CALL FOR CHAPTERS M Quaddus and A Siddique (Eds), (2002), A Handbook of Sustainable Development Planning: Studies in Modelling and Decision Support, Edward Elgar Publishers (Cheltenham, UK; Northamton, MA, USA). We are pleased to announce that Edwad Elgar Publishers will publish the above book. THE THEME OF THE BOOK The theme of the book has been chosen with contributions from distinguished scholars in the areas of sustainable development and model-based systems in sustainability of development in mind. The dimensions of sustainable development and its modelling changed significantly during the last quarter of the twentieth century. In 1987, The World Commission on Environment and Development (WECD) published a volume titled, Our Common Future which became the most cited reference for the concept of sustainable development. In that book, WECD defines sustainable development as the development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (p.8). Since the publication of Our Common Future sustainable development has become a major concern for policy makers and planners in both the developed and developing countries. With gradual extension of the dimensions of sustainable development over the years, policy makers and planners have increasingly faced problem of finding an appropriate approach to plan the 'sustainability' of development. Given the multi-dimensional nature of the concept of sustainable development, it is not unusual that no single model would be good enough to plan the 'sustainability' of development. Perhaps one of the first formal models to deal with the sustainability of developed was developed by Meadows et al., (1972) in The Limits to Growth. Although they did not define the concept of sustainable development in their book, but their concern was sustainability of development resulting from the interrelationships of industrialization, population growth, malnutrition, depletion of natural resources and deterioration of environment. The necessity for the application of scientific models in sustainable development became an international concern with the publication of Agenda 21 by the United Nations Department of Public Information in 1993. Chapter 35 (Science for sustainable development) of Agenda 21 specifically acknowledges the role of model-based systems for achieving sustainable development in the following words (p. 257): "One role of the sciences should be to provide information for better enable formulation and selection of environment and development policies in the decision-making process." Most recent research has reported three important issues of sustainable development planning. These are: (i) consideration of multiple criteria, (ii) accommodation of group diversities, and (iii) the inclusion of group preferences. Model based systems which support decision-making activities, like Decision Support System (DSS) and more recently Group Decision Support System (GDSS), address the above issues efficiently and effectively With the publication of The Limits to Growth in 1972, Our Common Future in 1987, and The Agenda 21 in 1993, model based systems continued to play important role in sustainable development planning. However, to the best of our knowledge, very few attempts have been made to publish a book containing articles in this increasingly important area. Although fragmented applications of these model-based systems in sustainable development planning have appeared in the literature, we strongly believe that many more applications of model-based systems in sustainable development planning have been made which have not been reported in the literature. The time is now right to publish a book with the contributions from the scholars of the experience and caliber of those who have dedicated their research efforts in sustainable development and development of model based systems for achieving sustainable development. THE PLAN OF THE BOOK The primary objective of this proposed book is to portray the current status and future directions of applications of model based systems in sustainable development planning. Our definition of "model" is quite broad, which might include both "hard" and "soft" approaches. But we are primarily interested in the use of these model-based systems in decision-making activities/phases of sustainable development planning process. With this principal objective in mind, the book will also deal with the evaluation of the nature and significance of changes in the dimensions of sustainable development and related model based systems during the last quarter of the twentieth century; and the emerging trends and challenges in the application of model based systems in decision making process for sustainable development planning in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Thus, the book will be organised in three main parts. Part I will evaluate the nature and significance of changes in the dimensions of sustainable development and related model based systems during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Chapters in Part 2 of the book will deal with case studies and applications of model based systems (including DSS and GDSS) in sustainable development planning in the following areas: (1) Environmental management, (2) Mining, (3) Energy management, (4) Land and water management, (5) Agriculture, (6) Fisheries, (7) Tourism, (8) Service industries, (9) Telecommunications, (10) Transport, (11) Poverty alleviation, (12) Primary health care, (13) Governance, (14) Education, (15) Pollution control, (16) Economic planning, (17) Urban planning, (18) Family planning. The concluding part of the book will foreshadow emerging trends and challenges in the application of model based systems in decision making process for sustainable development planning in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. As editors of the book, we now invite proposals for contributing chapters in this book from the scholars and practitioners whose main area of research has been in the area of (a) sustainable development and (b) the application of model based systems in decision making process for sustainable development. FORMAT OF PROPOSAL Please submit a proposal (about 3 pages double spaced) that should contain: chapter title, objectives of the chapter, outline of the chapter, and theoretical and practical contributions of the chapter proposed. Proposals should be formatted and submitted as an MS Word 97 (or higher) document. DEADLINE FOR PROPOSAL June 11, 2001. NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE June 25, 2001. DEADLINE FOR FULL CHAPTER August 31, 2001.

CALL FOR PAPERS!!! CALL FOR PAPERS!!! Fourth International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL '02) http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~padl2002 Portland, Oregon, USA Jan 19-20, 2002 Co-located with POPL 2002 Declarative languages build on sound theoretical bases to provide attractive frameworks for application development. These languages have been successfully applied to vastly different real-world situations, ranging from data base management to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems. New developments in theory and implementation have opened up new application areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages to novel problems raises numerous interesting research issues. Well-known questions include designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well. PADL provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and implementors of declarative languages to exchange ideas on current and novel application areas and on the requirements for effective deployment of declarative systems. We invite papers dealing with practical applications of newly discovered results and techniques in logic, constraint, and functional programming. Papers dealing with practical applications of theoretical results, new techniques of implementation with considerable impact on an application, or innovative applications are particularly welcome. Position papers as well as papers that present works in progress are also welcome. The scope of PADL includes, but is not limited to: o Innovative applications of declarative languages o Declarative domain-specific languages and applications o New developments in declarative languages and their impact on applications o Practical experiences o Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications o Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom The papers should highlight the practical contribution of the work and the relevance of declarative languages to achieve that end. PADL 2002 will co-locate with ACM POPL 2002, in Portland, Oregon. Previous PADLs were held in San Antonio (1999), Boston (2000), and Las Vegas (2001). Important Dates: o Paper Submission: Aug. 10, 2001 o Notification: Oct. 8, 2001 o Camera Ready: Nov. 5, 2001 o Symposium: Jan. 19-20, 2002 Paper Submission: Authors should submit an electronic copy of the full paper (written in English) in Postscript (Level 2) or PDF. Papers must be no longer than 15 pages, written in 11-point font and with single spacing.
