In September 2002 the Syrian-German Institute of Technology will be opened in Damascus which starts with a bachelor and master study in applied computer science. The main idea of the workshop is to bring together computer scientists from Syria, Germany and other European states and to motivate them for guest lectures at the Institute in the future. Therefore it is not necessary to present new original papers, presentations which give an impression of Your current scientific work are preferred. Because of this, the close time schedule should not hinder You to send an contribution and participate at the workshop. The conference is supported by the Syrian government. The conference fee includes participation, hosting, flight from Frankfurt, visa, meals and travels in Syria. Since we have been in Syria several times our experience has shown that Syria is a beautiful, save and very friendly country. You can find a travel report (in German) at http://www-wi.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/syrien/reisebericht.html . We hope to see You in Syria Claus ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- CALL FOR PAPERS ET2EB 2001 E-World@Syria

Submitted papers should describe original, previously unpublished, research, should be written in English, and should not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest within the scope of each track include, but are not restricted to: Track1: Temporal Representation and Reasoning in AI - temporal aspects of agent-based systems - temporal constraint reasoning - reasoning about actions and change - temporal languages for planning - temporal languages and architectures - ontologies of time - expressive power versus tractability - belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge - temporal learning and discovery - time and nonmonotonism - time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling,...) - time in human-machine interaction Track 2: Time Management in Databases - temporal data models - temporal database design - temporal query languages - indexing of temporal data - temporal database systems - spatio-temporal databases - constraint databases - temporal data mining - time in multimedia databases - time in web applications - time in federated and heterogeneous systems Track 3: Temporal Logic in Computer Science - modal temporal logic - first order temporal logics - expressiveness, decidability, and complexity issues - specification and verification - synthesis and execution - model checking algorithms - temporal theorem proving - temporal languages and architectures - temporal logics for distributed systems - temporal logics of knowledge - hybrid systems - tools and practical systems PAPER SUBMISSION There are three categories of submissions: A. REGULAR PAPERS. Submissions must not exceed the length of 11 pages; font size must be 11pt or larger. The submission should describe original, previously unpublished research. B. SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS. Submissions must not exceed the length of 6 pages; font size must be 11pt or larger. The submission should describe an implemented tool and its features. Every system description should be accompanied by a system demo during the symposium. Papers intended for this program should be clearly marked as system/demo track papers. C. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS. Submissions must not exceed the length of 6 pages; font size must be 11pt or larger. Papers describing significant results or problems encountered are especially valuable to the research community. Papers intended for this program should be clearly marked as industrial track papers. It is strongly suggested the use of the LaTeX article style at 11pt. Overlength submissions will be rejected without review. Please, indicate the category, track, and topic(s) on the first page.
