Dear Colleagues,
for the third time, I-Know '03 - International Conference on Knowledge
Management - will be held in Graz next year. In 2002, over 200
participants came to our conference and we hope to be able to top this
number next year.
I would especially like to point you to a workshop that Dr. Andreas
Ausserhofer and myself will be organizing as part of I-Know '03:
"eLearning - Human Issues and Personalization". We invite contributions
from practitioners and researchers that deal with designing,
implementing, assessing and managing all sorts of educational measures
comprising applications of eLearning.
The deadline for a 4-page abstract will be 27 January 2003. The workshop
will be held on 02 July 2003. More information is available on the
following
website: http://www.know-center.at/en/conference/i-know03/HIP.htm
Moreover, I would like to highlight that Graz will be the European
Cultural Capital in 2003 (www.graz03.at), and we look forward to some
very special events!
I would be happy, if you were interested in participating. Please do
also forward this email to anyone else who might be interested.
Best regards and greetings from Graz,
Armin Ulbrich

IJCAI-03 Workshop on Ontologies and Distributed Systems
August 9th, Acapulco Mexico
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Important Dates and Deadlines
Deadline for the submission of papers: Month day, year. March 7th, 2003
Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 21st, 2003
Deadline for the receipt of camera-ready papers: May 23rd, 2003.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The main purpose of this workshop is two-fold:
1. identify and discuss these new challenges as well as ways
towards solutions in terms of stable infrastructure, advanced
methods and professional tools.
2. discuss unconventional new ideas to cope with the new
challenges that arise in distributed and weakly structured
environments
The workshop should be seen as an opportunity for comparing and
discussing traditional and new methods for capturing, describing
and using semantics descriptions of certain domains and to try to
bridge gaps between the two where-ever necessary.
Fundamental Issues
One part of the workshop will be devoted to fundamental issues of
ontological research.As such it will not be devoted to a specific
application area, but will rather address more fundamental
questions. The topics of interests include but are not limited to
the ones listed below:
- Ontology and Infrastructure
- Methods and Algorithms
- Tools and Systems
Advanced Issues
The second part of the workshop is devoted to less well explored
topics that have come into focus recently as a response to the
new problems we face when trying to use ontologies in a
heterogeneous distributed environments. These environments
include the use of ontologies in peer-to-peer and multi-agent
systems as well as the semantic web. A couple of additional
questions arise with respect to these environments. The topics of
interest include but are not limited to:
- Ontology Evolution
- Ontology Coordination
- Ontologies + Agent Systems
Beyond contributions to the mentioned topics we strongly
encourage work that tries to bridge the gap between traditional
methods and techniques of building, and using ontologies and new
approaches that have been developed in response of new
challenges.

Wissenschaftliche Expertise zwischen politischen Ansprüchen und öffentlicher
Skepsis
-> http://www.oeaw.ac.at/ita/ta03/
---
Einreichfrist: 28. Februar 2003
Rückmeldung: 28. März 2003
Konferenztermin: 26. Mai 2003
Dritte österr. TA-Konferenz, 26. Mai 2003, Wien
Privatsphäre - ein Sicherheitsrisiko?
Erneuerbare Energien - wirklich eine Zukunftsoption?
Embryonenforschung - ja oder nein oder doch lieber jein?
So unterschiedlich die Antworten der Politik auf Fragen dieser Art
ausfallen, der Weg zum Lösungsvorschlag ist meist derselbe: Man befragt
ExpertInnen - oder man versucht gar, die Entscheidung auf sie abzuschieben.
Die Folge ist eine Inflation von ExpertInnengremien, Gutachten und
Empfehlungen haben Hochkonjunktur.
Aller modernen Wissenschaftsskepsis zum Trotz ist wissenschaftliche
Expertise also nach wie vor erste Wahl in der Politik, wenn es um riskante
und kontroverse Entscheidungen geht - wobei im Einzelfall Uneinigkeit
darüber bestehen mag, was überhaupt als relevante Expertise gelten soll. Die
Politik greift auf ExpertInnenwissen in vielfältiger Form zurück, nicht
zuletzt auf die 'institutionalisierte Expertise' der TA. In welcher Form
auch immer - der rasante Bedeutungszuwachs wissenschaftlicher
Politikberatung wirft Fragen nach deren Funktion, Autorität und Legitimation
auf.
In der öffentlichen Debatte sind Expertisen nicht zuletzt aufgrund ihrer
Widersprüche und Unsicherheiten zum Politikum geworden. Zuweilen als
Gegenbewegung zu einer drohenden 'Expertokratie' interpretiert, haben sich
Partizipationsansprüche und -verfahren neben der klassischen Beratung durch
Fachleute etabliert. BürgerInnenforen, Konsensuskonferenzen oder
Planungszellen sind Methoden, um bei kontroversen Themen auch dem Wissen und
den Einschätzungen von 'NormalbürgerInnen' (als 'ExpertInnen für den
jeweiligen Lebenszusammenhang') Raum zu geben. Auch wenn sie sich in einigen
Fragen - z.B. bei der Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung - einen festen Platz
erobert haben: Der politische Stellenwert von partizipativen Verfahren ist
oft unklar, ihre Geltung im Durch- und Gegeneinander der Expertisen
unbestimmt. Mit der Etablierung partizipativer Verfahren sind die Fragen
nach politischer Bedeutung, kognitiver Autorität und Legitimation nicht
hinfällig geworden.
Konkurrierende Erwartungen in Öffentlichkeit und Politik, die Geltungskrise
von Expertisen und die Manifestation bzw. Anerkennung von Nichtwissen
erfordern von der wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung ein hohes Maß an
Selbstreflexion. Für die TA erwächst daraus die Notwendigkeit wie auch die
Chance, ihre Ziele und Zukunftsperspektiven im Spannungsfeld von
Demokratisierungsgeboten und Professionalisierungszwängen neu auszuloten.
Das stellt diese Problematik in den Mittelpunkt seiner Jahrestagung 2003.
Zur Diskussion stehen sowohl die politische Funktion, die öffentliche
Reflexion als auch das professionelle Selbstverständnis wissenschaftlicher
Politikberatung, nicht zuletzt der TA. Aus dem Beziehungsgeflecht von
Politik, Öffentlichkeit und Wissenschaft ergeben sich grundlegende Fragen:
Was bedeuten Nichtwissen, Dissens zwischen den ExpertInnen und eine oft
skeptische Öffentlichkeit für die Rationalität politischer Entscheidungen?
Welche Konsequenzen resultieren daraus für die Funktion und Bedeutung der
Politikberatung?
Welche Öffentlichkeit kann woran partizipieren? In welchen Kontexten spielen
Beteiligungsmodelle eine Rolle und welche neuen Konflikte ergeben sich
dadurch?
Welche Faktoren machen Wissen zur Expertise? Wie gestaltet sich das
Verhältnis zwischen wissenschaftlicher Expertise und nichtwissenschaftlichen
Rationalitäten?
Unter welchen Bedingungen werden Expertisen politisch wirksam? Und welche
Konsequenzen hat die Nähe zur Politik für die Wissenschaft selbst, nicht
zuletzt im Bild der Öffentlichkeit?
Call for papers
Das lädt ein, problemorientierte Kurzfassungen von Vorträgen zum Thema der
Tagung in der Länge von etwa 400 Wörtern bis zum 28. Februar 2003 per e-mail

Ein oder zwei Arbeitssitzungen werden sich auch mit aktuellen Themen der TA
beschäftigen, die nicht in den engeren Bereich des Tagungsthemas fallen.

The 2003 International Multiconference in Computer Science & Engineering
========================================================================
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
June 23 - 26, 2003
TECHNICAL SESSION
"Using the J2EE Platform for Efficient Component-Oriented
Development of Enterprise Systems (JEFF-CODES)"
- CALL FOR PAPERS -
The International Multiconference in Computer Science & Computer
Engineering is a major annual international research event. The last
Multiconference attracted over 1,550 Computer Science and Engineering
researchers from 72 countries. It is anticipated that The 2003 Int'l
Multiconference will attract about 2000 participants. The 2003 event is
composed of 14 (planned) major conferences - attendees will have full
access to all 14 conferences' sessions & tracks.
"Using the J2EE Platform for Efficient Component-Oriented Development
of Enterprise Systems (JEFF-CODES)" will be a technical session of
PDPTA'03 (The 2003 Int'l Conference on Parallel & Distributed
Processing Techniques and Applications) and/or SERP'03 (The 2003 Int'l
Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice), which are
two of the 14 conferences that will be held simultaneously in the
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on June 23-26, 2003.
You are invited to submit a draft paper of about 5 pages (see below for
submission information; further details can be found at the session web
site http://www.wifo.uni-mannheim.de/JEFF-CODES-2003/).
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
SCOPE OF JEFF-CODES:
====================
The development of distributed, component-based enterprise application
systems is a very complex task. These systems have to fulfill highly
volatile requirements, and they have to adapt quickly to the ever-
changing demands of markets, users, and evolving technology. Emerging
middleware platforms and technologies such as the Java 2 Platform,
Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technologyprovide standardized APIs and
component models that allow a clear separation of concerns with respect
to the technical and the business requirements of such systems. Thus,
they are able to facilitate the implementation of scalable, portable,
distributed business applications significantly and allow the smooth
integration of legacy systems and existing components from different
suppliers. The J2EE platform has been very successful in this context
recently and is quickly being adopted by the middleware community on a
broad scale.
However, in distributed, scalable, multi-user enterprise application
environments such as, for example, e-business software systems,
performance and efficiency are vital success factors for user
acceptance. These determinants can be optimized on at least two levels:
the application development level on the one hand, and the technical
specification and application server implementation level on the other
hand. The Java programming language is traditionally known for its
shortcomings with respect to performance, which is also true for the
J2EE platform leveraging Java to the enterprise context. The focus of
this technical session will be to produce research results for the
improvement of efficiency and performance of J2EE-based software
applications on these two levels of abstraction.
Therefore, the technical session will concentrate on questions of how
to create applications that take maximum advantage of existing J2EE
technologies such as Enterprise JavaBeans, Servlets, Java Server Pages
etc. on the one hand, and, on the other hand, will work out potential
enhancements, refinements, and improvements of the existing J2EE
specification and the implementation of J2EE-compliant application
servers.
Optimizing efficiency and performance of applications based on the
current J2EE specification requires a good understanding of both the
available APIs and sound architectural principles of high-quality
multi-tier application design, respectively. Providing design patterns,
strategies, best practices, and recommendations for the design and
implementation of performance-optimized applications could be an
adequate means to achieve this goal.
Optimizing efficiency and performance on the technical level requires
an in-depth analysis of possibilities for refining and/or extending
the current J2EE specification and the examination of approaches to
application server tuning and speed-up.
The goal of this technical session is to bring together researchers,
engineers, and practitioners to discuss the technical and technology-
related aspects of optimizing the efficiency and per-formance of J2EE-
based applications. It serves to provide a forum for the exchange of
research ideas and results in that area.
The special topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Solutions to performance problems of J2EE-based applications
- Recommendations, strategies, and best practices for designing
efficient J2EE-based web-enabled enterprise applications
- Patterns of performance-optimized software architectures based
on J2EE
- Design patterns, strategies, and best practices for designing
efficient reusable enter-prise components
- Iterative and evolutionary development processes focused on
efficiency and performance
- Component composition and interaction strategies for
application acceleration
- J2EE-based frameworks and application server add-ons for
performance optimization (e.g., load-balancing services, re-
routers etc.)
- Efficient use of web services with J2EE
- Efficient integration of legacy systems with J2EE
- Enhancing and refining the J2EE architecture
- Discussion of performance-critical elements of the J2EE
specification (e.g., remote vs. local interfaces, CMP vs. BMP
etc.)
- Efficient application server implementation and tuning (e.g.,
bean pooling, load balancing etc.)
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
====================
You are invited to submit a PDF-version of a draft paper (about 5
pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to the session organizer
A. Korthaus (korthaus(a)wifo3.uni-mannheim.de) by the due date. The
length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7
(IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or
currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the
draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number for
each author. The first page should also include the name of the author
who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5
keywords.
EVALUATION PROCESS
==================
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the
topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.

>
>WORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE
>
>In the last few years, the applicability and functionality of systems for
>collaboration support has expanded, leading to their growing application in
>organizational, communication, and cooperation processes. This provides
>opportunities to study their technical, business and social impacts.
>Usually an integration of incoming technology with existing organizational
>practices is very challenging. The knowledge gained from such experiences is
>a valuable resource for all those who plan to develop software tools to
>support team interaction.
>
>At the same time we observe a growing influence of World-Wide Web. WWW - by
>now the most popular service over the Internet - evolves rapidly, from a
>simple, read-only data storage system, as it was a few years ago, to
>nowadays universal, distributed platform for information exchange. New
>Web-based applications with freely distributed data, end-users, servers, and
>clients, operating worldwide, are central topics of many research
>activities. Recently the WWW has also been perceived as an attractive base
>for a distributed computer system supporting cooperative work, since the
>Internet is the most flexible network with the architecture that could
>support group activities to maximum extent.
>
>In parallel to the WWW evolution we observe a growing impact of new
>technologies: agent systems, mobile computing, workflow, and ubiquitous
>computing. We can expect that these technologies will also exert a large
>influence on group/organizational structures and processes.
>
>All the aforementioned emerging new technologies are exciting in their own
>right, but their technological and organizational integration to support
>collaboration raises many interesting questions and is a challenging, new
>research agenda.
>
>WBC'2003 is a continuation of the previous successful workshops on Web Based
>Collaboration, organized in September 2001 in Munich, Germany
>(http://www.kti.ae.poznan.pl/dexa_wbc/), and recently, in September 2002 in
>Aix-en-Provence, France (http://www.kti.ae.poznan.pl/dexa_wbc2002).
>
>WBC'2003 attempts to integrate two themes of practice and research: the
>functional, organizational, and behavioral issues and the modeling or
>implementation issues associated with collaborative Web based work. WBC'2003
>brings together practitioners and researchers from different domains working
>on design, development, management, and deployment of Web-based systems
>supporting teamwork within organizations.
>
>
>TOPICS OF INTEREST

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
*******************************************************************
11th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'03)
8th-12th September 2003, Monterey Bay, California U.S.A.
http://www.re03.org
*******************************************************************
Sponsored by TCSE - IEEE Computer Society
In cooperation with ACM Sigsoft - ACM
Requirements Engineering (RE) is the branch of systems engineering
concerned with managing desired properties and constraints of
software-intensive systems and with goals to be achieved in the
environment. It is concerned with these aspects from the problem
analysis stage to the implementation and maintenance stages of a
system. Additional variety is added because of differences in issues
that arise in different domains, ranging from public administration
software to workflow systems, groupware and embedded systems and
control software.
RE 03 will contain technical paper tracks and an industry
presentation track. Two kinds of technical papers can be submitted,
research papers and experience papers.
* Research papers must present an original research result in a clear
way. They must indicate the research method used as well as the
significance of the contribution to the field. Examples of research
methods used are case study research, empirical research,
experimental research and analytical research.
* Experience papers must present a significant experience in a clear
way. They must indicate the lessons learned from the
experience. Examples of experience papers are a success or failure
report about the transfer of known research results to industrial
practice, and a report about an industrial experience that is
generalizable to other contexts.
In addition to the technical papers, there will be industry
presentations. See the submission page at http://www.re03.org for more
on industry track submissions.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
* Requirements elicitation techniques
* Requirements validation techniques
* Requirements management and traceability
* Requirements evolution
* Requirements, software architecture and business architecture
* Requirements prioritizing and negotiation
* Combination of formal and informal specification techniques
* Requirements for high-assurance systems
* Making formal techniques usable
* RE for mechatronics systems
* Specification of quality attributes
* Requirements metrics
* Tool support for RE
* Prototyping, animation and execution of requirements
* Requirements for business systems (workflow, groupware, e-commerce
systems)
* Requirements for web-based systems
* Requirements for ubiquitous computing
* Requirements for product families
* Requirements engineering case studies and experiences
* Cognitive, social and cultural factors in RE
* Requirements engineering education
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Electronic submissions will be accepted at the RE'03 Paper submission
site. Authors without web access must make advance arrangements with
the Programme Chair at least one week before the deadline. Papers must
not exceed 10 pages in length, and must in the IEEE CS Press
Proceedings format (see http://computer.org/cspress/). Accepted papers
must be accompanied by a signed IEEE copyright release form. See the
submission page for information on how to submit technical papers
(research and experience), workshop proposals, panel and tutorial
proposals, doctoral workshop papers, posters, research demos and
industry track contributions. For any other queries, please contact
info(a)re03.org. Revised and extended versions of a selection of the
best papers will appear, depending upon focus, in a special issue of
the Requirements Engineering Journal or IEEE Software.
EVALUATION
Research papers will be evaluated on their originality, significance,
technical soundness of result, soundness of research method and
clarity of presentation. Special attention will be paid to the
validation of the results. Experience papers will be evaluated on the
novelty of the contribution, significance for practice, technical
soundness, and clarity of presentation. Special attention will be paid
to the (positive or negative) lessons learned.
For more information about RE03, please contact us at info(a)re03.org.
