The conferences will not only feature the most up-to-date research results in neural information processing, evolutionary computation, fuzzy systems, and knowledge discovery, but also promote cross-fertilization over these exciting and yet closely-related areas. Registration to any one of the conferences will entitle a participant to the technical sessions and the proceedings of all three conferences, as well as the conference banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to two of the major attractions in Singapore, i.e., Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island. Many well- known researchers will present keynote speeches, panel discussions, invited lectures, and tutorials. About Singapore --------------- Located at one of the most important crossroads of the world, Singapore is truly a place where East and West come together. Here you will find Chinese, Indian, and Malay communities living together, their long established cultures forming a unique backdrop to a clean and modern garden city. English is spoken everywhere and is the common business language of all. Few places on earth promise such a delight for the palate, with gourmet cuisine from over 30 countries. Exotic resorts in neighboring countries are only a short bus/ferry ride away. Orchid Country Club (OCC) ------------------------- The venue for this year's conferences is at one of Singapore's premier country clubs, a 25-minute bus ride from the city. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore, the tranquil setting of the resort is ideal for serious technical discussions with an accommodating space and ambience for relaxation. Not to miss out on the splendor of downtown Singapore, the organizer has also secured good quality and affordable accommodation in the heart of the city with pre-arranged transport to/from the OCC. For golf enthusiasts, OCC is equipped with the largest computerized driving range in South East Asia and boasts of a 27-hole golf course with facilities for night golfing, ideal for relaxation after each day of technical discussions.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Workshop on Goal-Oriented Business Process Modeling: 2-nd CFP Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 17:08:59 +0100 From: Ilia Bider <ilia(a)IBISSOFT.SE> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE We apologize if you get this CFP more than once. Workshop on Goal-Oriented Business Process Modeling (GBPM'02) Toronto (Canada), May 27 or(and) 28, 2002 In memory of Dr. Maxim Khomyakov A material for discussion of notion of goal has been added see: http://www.ibissoft.se/gbpm02/goaldef.htm Extended abstract: This workshop is the third one in a series of international workshops on business process modeling started at ECOOP'98, and continued at CAiSE*00. The workshop is aimed at discussing issues connected to the goal-oriented view on business processes. The most important topics suggested for discussions: (a) representation of goals and movement to the goals (b) goal-oriented business process patterns, (c) goal-oriented methods for business process analysis and (re)engineering. The workshop does not focus on any particular method or technology. All possible approaches (be it object-oriented, agent-oriented, based on Petri nets, etc.) to exploitation of goal-oriented view on business processes are very welcome. The aim of the workshop is discussions, rather than presentations. A position paper does not necessarily need to include the answers to the problems of business process analysis, reengineering, or control. A position paper that raises the relevant questions, describes successful or unsuccessful practice, or experience will be welcome as well. The results of discussions will be summarized in a working document that will be produced after the workshop. A selection of the best papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal. The intended audience is researchers and practitioners from the fields of business development, and business application software development. Important Dates Deadline for submission: Mars 15th, 2002 Notification of acceptance: April 10th, 2002 Final version: May 5th, 2002 Days of workshop: May 27 or(and) 28th,2002 URL: http://www.ibissoft.se/gbpm02/gbpm02.htm =========================================== Ilia Bider Email: ilia(a)ibissoft.se Director R&D phone +46 8 15 10 10 IbisSoft ab, Sweden http://www.ibissoft.se Tutorial on "Business process modeling as a method of requirements engineering" http://www.iceis.org/Tutorials.htm Workshop on "Goal-Oriented Business Process Modeling." http://www.ibissoft.se/gbpm02/gbpm02.htm ___________________________________________________________________ |The Sender assumes responsibility that this message conforms to the |ISWorld list policy and conditions of use available at: |http://www.isworld.org/isworldlist |----------------------- 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 |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: Final CFP, due March 1: WWW-2002 Semantic Web Workshop
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Feb '02

25 Feb '02

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Final CFP, due March 1: WWW-2002 Semantic Web Workshop Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 08:27:54 -0800 (PST) From: Martin Frank <martinfrank(a)yahoo.com> To: noy(a)smi.stanford.edu, sst(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Participation: Semantic Web Workshop at the 2002 World-Wide Web Conference Hawaii, May 7, 2002 Invited Speakers Rakesh Agrawal, IBM, USA Mike Uschold, Boeing, USA Important dates Submission of papers: *** March 1st *** Notification of acceptance: April 1st Submission of camera-ready copy: April 15th The term "Semantic Web" denotes the next evolutionary step of the Web, which establishes a layer of machine-understandable data for automated agents, sophisticated search engines, and information integration and interoperability services. The ultimate goal of the Semantic Web is to allow machines to share and use knowledge worldwide in a scalable, adaptable and extensible manner, without any central authority and just a few basic rules. The Semantic Web workshop at WWW-2002 will complement the Semantic Web track at the main conference by providing a forum for active discussion on the current achievements, pitfalls, and the future research directions of the Semantic Web. Our goal is to provide a forum for fruitful discussion sessions rather than a mini-conference. We solicit papers, but at the workshop itself the emphasis will be on sharing experiences with time for all participants to contribute. The workshop will be structured around group discussions designed to help us achieve greater understanding of the following issues: What are the recent successes in Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Information Integration, and other Computer Science fields that are relevant to the Semantic Web? What are the unique challenges of the Semantic Web that do not allow us to apply that research directly? How do we overcome these challenges? What are new areas of basic research that the Semantic Web needs? What are possible killer applications for the Semantic Web? How can we achieve the critical mass of ontologies, annotated data, tools, and agents to make the Semantic Web as ubiquitous as the regular Web is today? Besides the papers about up-to-date progress of research, we solicit reports from Semantic Web practitioners. We also encourage submissions from researchers in established areas of Computer Science discussing the possibilities and challenges of applying traditional techniques to the Semantic Web, with its de-centralization and scale. Practitioners' reports will give us the opportunity to discuss the gap between the current practices and the visions. The challenge papers will help us achieve a coherent picture of the Semantic Web to come. Relevant workshop topics include but are not limited to: * Language and Representation issues of the Semantic Web (e.g. RDF, OIL, DAML, Topic-Maps, RSS) * Query languages for RDF * Tools, systems and methodologies for engineering of, storing of and reasoning with RDF data * Migrating existing information to be usable for RDF applications * Trust in the Semantic Web * Information integration and Mediation on the Web * Semantic Web applications Organizing Committee Steffen Staab, Universitaet Karlsruhe, Germany Natasha Noy, Stanford University, USA Martin Frank, USC Information Sciences Institute, USA Program Committee Sean Bechhofer, University of Manchester, United Kingdom Paul Buitelaar, DFKI, Germany Fabio Ciravegna, U Sheffield, UK Peter Crowther, Network Inference, UK Monica Crubézy, Stanford University, USA Mike Dean, BBN, USA Stefan Decker, Stanford University (DB), USA Jerome Euzenat, INRIA, France Dieter Fensel, Vrije Universiteit, Netherlands Tim Finin, University of Maryland-Baltimore County, USA Carole Goble, University of Manchester, UK Asun Gómez-Pérez, Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain Frank van Harmelen, Vrije Universiteit, Netherlands Jeff Heflin, Lehigh University, USA Martin Lacher, Technische Universität München, Germany Yannis Labrou, Univ. of Maryland, USA Fred Lochovsky, HKUST, Hong Kong Alexander Maedche, FZI, Germany Brian McBride, HP Laboratories, UK Sergey Melnik, Stanford University, USA Enrico Motta, The Open University, UK Louiqa Raschid, Univ. of Maryland, USA Rudi Studer, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Katia Sycara, CMU, USA Valentina Tamma, University of Liverpool, UK Mike Uschold, Boeing, USA Submission procedure We invite three types of submission: research papers, application papers, and position statements. Research and application papers should not exceed 12 pages (including bibliography). Position statements should not exceed 3 pages and address some of the questions in this announcement. Indicate the type of paper in large fonts on the first page of your submission. We will accept only electronic submissions in PDF format.
