DENVER, COLORADO: The Mile High City www.aace.org/conf/edmedia/aboutdenver.htm Denver, the mile high city, is young, exciting and growing. In the past five years, Denver has built three new sports stadiums, a new airport, a new downtown amusement park, a new world class aquarium, several major new shopping centers, a new downtown entertainment complex and a variety of other new attractions. Located in the middle of the United States, Denver is a unique city, rich in diversity and culture. Denver has one of the largest downtowns in America and it's the hottest entertainment district in the West. There's something to do in Denver almost 24-hours a day. At the center of the downtown activity is the Denver Pavilions, a two-square block entertainment complex with a Hard Rock Café, NikeTown, Virgin Records, 15 cinemas, restaurants, nightspots and 50 stores on three levels. Free shuttle buses cruise the 16th Street Mall as often as every 90 seconds, making everything in Downtown convenient and easy to reach. For Tony-award-winning theatre, symphony, opera, Broadway road shows and dance, there's the Denver Performing Arts Complex, the largest performing arts center in the world under one roof. Within easy walking distance are the Denver Art Museum, the Colorado History Museum and the U.S. Mint. With 300 days of bright sunshine a year, Denver is the place for enjoying the great outdoors, and surprisingly, much of it is downtown. From the ED-MEDIA 2002 location at the Hyatt Hotel, the beautiful formal gardens at The Civic Center Park is just a short walk away. And Six Flags Elitch Gardens, America's only downtown theme park, features more than 48 thrill rides, a complete water adventure park, elaborate gardens, shows and more. In metropolitan Denver, you can visit the Denver Zoo, the fourth most popular zoo in America and the home of more than 3,500 animals. From the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains to the culture, sports, color and entertainment of the city, Denver is an ideal location for ED-MEDIA 2002. We look forward to seeing you there.

28 Sep '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Fwd: [Fwd: Call for Papers - IS Frontiers]] Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 10:50:44 -0400 From: Susan Sherer <sas6(a)LEHIGH.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS (2ND CALL) Special Issue of Information Systems Frontiers "IT Investment Payoff in E-Business Environments" Guest Editors Rajiv Kohli, Trinity Health and University of Notre Dame, rkohli(a)nd.edu Susan Sherer, Lehigh University, sas6(a)lehigh.edu Ayelet Baron, Cisco Systems, aybaron(a)cisco.com Motivation It is obvious that investment in information technology (IT) is increasing, particularly to support e-business initiatives. At the same time these investments must compete with other initiatives to secure funding. E-business is a new frontier for IT investment. The complexity of benefits from IT investment in e-business arises from a range of issues such as the difficulty in isolating the benefits from other initiatives, the lag effects from delayed payoff, indirect payoff from investments made in the electronic infrastructure, and the need to coordinate efforts among business partners. It is necessary for e-business initiatives to objectively demonstrate the benefits received by the organization. The purpose of IT Investment Payoff in E-Business Environments special issue is to improve upon existing approaches for measuring IT investment payoff that are applicable to e-business initiatives as well as to find new innovative frameworks and methods for addressing the value of emerging IT for e-business. Recommended Topics The special issue invites papers that address the payoff from IT investment from e-business in any type of organization (business, government, not-for-profit, military etc.). Both applied and theoretical research will be promoted. We encourage submissions that relate payoff approaches from an international perspective. Contributions to the special issue may be in the form of research papers, surveys, tutorials, industry papers on designs, solutions and experiences, case studies, technical innovation papers, commentaries on the state-of-the-art and discussions on open problems/potential initiatives. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Payoff from EDI Implementation Justifying Inter-organizational e-Business Systems or Extranets Assessing Benefits from Coordinating, Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) Systems Utilizing IT to Develop Cost Leadership in e-Business Employing IT to Develop New Products and Services in e-Business E-Business Infrastructure Investments IT Investment Frameworks for e-Businesses Multimedia E-Business Technologies and their Impacts Frameworks and Evaluation Methods for e-Business Investments Comparing e-Business and Traditional IT Investment Strategies and Tools Achieving Benefits from e-Business Investments Organizational Strategies for Achieving Payoff from e-Business Investments Paper Submission It is suggested that proposals be submitted prior to the final paper. Proposals, no more than 5 single-spaced pages, should be succinct and address the following (as applicable) (i) importance of the topic, (ii) data sources, (iii) research methodology, (iv) (anticipated) results, and (v) how the paper will further the understanding of IT investment payoff in E-business environments. Proposals and papers should be sent via email to Sue Sherer sas6(a)lehigh.edu in Microsoft Word or Word Perfect format. They can also be mailed to Susan A.

Fwd: Content of JDM Vol. 12 No. 4
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Content of JDM Vol. 12 No. 4 Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 01:43:45 -0500 From: Keng Siau <ksiau(a)UNLNOTES.UNL.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE The contents of the latest issue of: Journal of Database Management (JDM) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association Vol 12 #4, October-December 2001 Editor: Keng Siau, University of Nebraska-Lincoln RESEARCH PAPERS: ARTICLE ONE: An Adaptive Probe-Based Technique to Optimize Join Queries in Distributed Internet Databases Latifur Khan University of Texas at Dallas, USA Dennis McLeod, and Cyrus Shahabi University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA An adaptive probe-based optimization technique is developed and demonstrated in the context of an Internet-based distributed database environment. More and more common are database systems, which are distributed across servers communicating via the Internet where a query at a given site might require data from remote sites. Optimizing the response time of such queries is a challenging task due to the unpredictability of server performance and network traffic at the time of data shipment; this may result in the selection of an expensive query plan using a static query optimizer. We constructed an experimental setup consisting of two servers running the same DBMS connected via the Internet. Concentrating on join queries, we demonstrate how a static query optimizer might choose an expensive plan by mistake. This is due to the lack of a priori knowledge of the run-time environment, inaccurate statistical assumptions in size estimation, and neglecting the cost of remote method invocation. These shortcomings are addressed collectively by proposing a probing mechanism. Furthermore, we extend our mechanism with an adaptive technique that detects sub-optimality of a plan during query execution and attempts to switch to the cheapest plan while avoiding redundant work and imposing little overhead. An implementation of our run-time optimization technique for join queries was constructed in the Java language and incorporated into an experimental setup. The results demonstrate the superiority of our probe-based optimization over a static optimization. ARTICLE TWO: A Metadata Oriented Architecture for Building Datawarehouse Heeseok Lee, Taehun Kim, and Jongho Kim Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea Data warehouse is an intelligent store of data that can aggregate vast amounts of information. A metadata is critical for implementing data warehouse. Therefore, integrating data warehouse with its metadata offers a new opportunity to create a more adaptive information system. This paper proposes a metadata-oriented data warehouse architecture that consists of seven components: legacy system, extracting software, operational data store, data warehouse, data mart, application, and metadata. A taxonomy for dataflow and metaflow is proposed for better understanding of the architecture. In addition, a metadata schema is built within the framework of the seven components. The architecture with its metadata component is applied to a real-life data warehouse for a large medical center in order to illustrate its practical usefulness. ARTICLE THREE: The Development of Ordered SQL Packages to Support Data Warehousing WILFRED ng Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong MARK LEVENE University of London, UK Data warehousing is a corporate strategy that needs to integrate information from several sources of separately developed Database Management Systems (DBMSs). A future DBMS of a data warehouse should provide adequate facilities to manage a wide range of information arising from such integration. We propose that the capabilities of database languages should be enhanced to manipulate user-defined data orderings, since business queries in an enterprise usually involve order. We extend the relational model to incorporate partial orderings into data domains and describe the ordered relational model. We have already defined and implemented a minimal extension of SQL, called OSQL, which allows querying over ordered relational databases. One of the important facilities provided by OSQL is that it allows users to capture the underlying semantics of the ordering of the data for a given application. Herein we demonstrate that OSQL aided with a package discipline can be an effective means to manage the inter-related operations and the underlying data domains of a wide range of advanced applications that are vital in data warehousing, such as temporal, incomplete and fuzzy information. We present the details of the generic operations arising from these applications in the form of three OSQL packages called: OSQL_TIME, OSQL_INCOMP and OSQL_FUZZY. ARTICLE FOUR: Issues in Transaction-Time Temporal Object Database Systems Kjetil Nørvåg Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Object database systems (ODBs) are an attractive alternative to relational database systems, especially in application areas where the modeling power or performance of relational database systems is insufficient. These applications typically maintain large amounts of data. Frequently, some of the data is temporal data. For the temporal data, the whole history of the individual objects is kept, and data is never deleted. The area of temporal ODBs is still immature, and there are many design issues that need to be solved in order to be able to achieve the desired performance. In this paper, we discuss some temporal ODB research issues and possible solutions related to object storage, object management, main memory buffering, and language bindings. ***************************************************************************** ********************************** For full copies of the above articles, check this issue of the Journal of Database Management in your institution's library. ***************************************************************************** ********************************** ___________________________________________________________________ | 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://www.isworld.org/isworldlist | If you can't find an answer contact isworld_manager(a)cornell.edu |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: PADS 2002 Call For Papers Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 16:40:59 -0400 From: chrisc(a)lally-34.cs.rpi.edu To: PADS(a)lally-34.cs.rpi.edu CALL FOR PAPERS P A D S 16th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation 2 0 0 2 Washington, DC (USA) 12-15 May 2002 SPONSORS: ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation (ACM SIGSIM)* IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Simulation (IEEE TC-SIM)* Society for Computer Simulation (SCS)* * approval pending TOPICS: The PADS workshops provide a forum for presenting recent work that enhances the understanding of parallel and distributed simulation techniques (including optimistic, conservative, real-time and interactive synchronization, synthetic environments, virtual reality, DIS and HLA, and web-based simulation) and their use in real-world situations. Papers on a diversity of topics are welcomed, particularly those that indicate and explore new directions; the scope of PADS 2002 is by no means limited to the topics explicitly mentioned here, nor to those discussed at previous meetings. We invite RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS that present new formulations, theoretical models, architectures, algorithms, protocols, data structures or other implementation techniques; in short, anything that advances the state of the art or provides deeper insight into its fundamental nature. Papers describing languages, systems, libraries, tools or techniques that facilitate the development, interoperation, re-use and validation of parallel simulation models are also sought, as are contributions towards predicting their performance. We also solicit APPLICATION STUDIES AND EXPERIENCE REPORTS from practitioners who have tried to apply these techniques in real-world applications. Success stories that demonstrate the practical benefits that parallel, distributed, and web-based simulation can offer are obviously welcome, but we would also encourage those for whom these techniques did not prove successful to characterize those aspects of their problem that caused the most difficulty and thereby frame challenges for future research. (Naturally, deeper analysis than just ``we tried this and it did/didn't work'' would be preferred!) SUBMISSIONS: Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5000 words. Authors should identify clearly the contribution of their paper, explain its significance, and show how it relates to previous work. Papers must not have been previously published, nor may they be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process --- the identities of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure blind reviewing, authors' names and affiliations should not appear in the submission, and bibliographic references should be modified so as not to reveal the identities of the authors. Authors are encouraged to submit their papers in electronic form. Further guidelines regarding submissions will be made available on the PADS 2002 web site in due course. SCHEDULE: Electronic submissions (PostScript only) be sent to the program co-chairs by 5 OCTOBER 2001. Papers may also be submitted as hard copy, but in this case SIX copies must be received by the earlier date of 28 SEPTEMBER 2001. Notification of acceptance will be made by 20 DECEMBER 2001. Camera ready final versions of accepted papers will be required approximately mid FEBRUARY 2002. STEERING COMMITTEE: D. I. Bruce Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, UK A. S.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Follow-up: Online journals Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 11:26:00 -0500 From: Chitu Okoli <chitu(a)OKOLI.ORG> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Hi y'all, Following my recent posting about responses to the question, "What is a peer-reviewed journal?", I received the attached message below from Lee Giles. He referred me to an empirical study in Nature magazine that argues that articles available online are cited more frequently. This is rather fascinating, especially in light of Jeimy Cano's recent posting (August 31) introducing us to the Public Library of Science (http://www.publiclibraryofscience.org). His posting can be referenced in the ISWorld List archives at http://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0108&L=isworld&F= &S=&P=20222.

Or what are you selling your soul for? -- Jesus (Matthew 16:26) -----Original Message----- From: Lee Giles [mailto:giles@ist.psu.edu] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 8:23 PM To: chitu(a)OKOLI.ORG Subject: RE:... What is a peer-reviewed journal Hi: My colleague Steve Sawyer forwarded me some of your comments. One issue that you might want to consider is how peer-reviewed journals are rated and/or compared. A debated useful measure is impact factor. There are many ways of doing this - number of citations (NC) to the journal for a period of time, say a year; NC/(number of articles published), etc. The second measure attempts to normalize ratings over all journals. A journal with few cites is for a select and focused community. A journal with many is for a large and diverse community. Authors usually want to publish in high impact journals. How does a journal have a greater impact? A colleague of mine showed that online papers are cited more than those not online. Would the same be true of a journal? I would expect so. See: http://www.neci.nec.com/~lawrence/papers/online-nature01/ for more details You might want to look at one of our citation projects: http://www.researchindex.org. Best regards, Lee Giles -- Dr. C.
