---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: *** ACM SAC'03: Call for Track Proposals *** Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 18:30:24 +0200 From: George Angelos Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE 2003 ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING (SAC'03) Melbourne, Florida, USA, 9-12 March, 2003 http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac2003 *** Call for Track Proposals *** For the past seventeen years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact and present their work. The ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP)is the sole sponsor of SAC. The conference proceedings are published by ACM and are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library. SAC is based on a flexible structure of mostly self-contained and self-managed tracks. Over the past years it has hosted tracks on a variety of topics such as Artificial Intelligence, BioInformatics, Computers in Education, Parallel and Distributed Systems, Internet Technologies, Software Engineering, etc. SAC'02, which was held in Madrid, Spain, consisted of 21 tracks which hosted 194 accepted papers out of 457 submissions. The 18th Annual SAC (SAC'03) will be hosted by the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida, USA between 9-12 of March 2003. The conference Organizing Committee solicits proposals for hosting tracks. Perspective track chairs should submit an up to two pages description for organizing a track, which should include at least the following items: 1) The proposed title for the track with a description of its aims, topics it will cover and rationale for having such a track in SAC. This rationale should refer to any related conference events that are held regularly and why the proposed track differs from them or complements them. The proposed track should not be over general but also not overly specialized, thus being able to attract a wide audience of people sharing similar interests. Proposals from industry are also welcomed. Despite its name, SAC also welcomes topics of mostly theoretical nature, provided there is clear practical potential in applying the results of such work. 2) A short description of the activities the track chair will undertake upon acceptance of the proposal, to disseminate the call-for-papers for his/her track, manage the review process and collect final materials from authors of accepted papers. (Specific guidelines to track chairs regarding these issues will also be provided.) 3) A short CV of the perspective track chair(s) with reference to research interests and publication record directly related to the themes of the proposed track, and any previous experience of involvement in the organization of similar events (in the interest of brevity, reference to a personal web page where such information can be found will be sufficient). All proposals will be reviewed by the Conference and Program Chairs with respect to the above criteria. The Chairs reserve the right to: (1) accept a proposal as is, (2) recommend merging of similar proposals with a considerable overlap in the topics addressed (in this case the track chairs of the different proposals will be asked to form a single chair), (3) reject a proposal. Upon acceptance of a proposal, the track chairs will be notified of their responsibilities in managing the affairs of their tracks, as such responsibilities are defined by both ACM and SAC Organizing Committee. The Chairs reserve the right to cancel at any time a track, if these responsibilities are not addressed adequately by respective track chair(s). Please submit your proposal electronically and in any acceptable readable form to: George A. Papadopoulos Department of Computer Science University of Cyprus E-Mail: george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy Tel: +357 22 892242 Fax: +357 22 339062 IMPORTANT DATES 15 April 2002: Submission of track proposals 25 April 2002: Notification of acceptance/rejection 15 May 2002: Call-For-Papers for accepted tracks 6 Sept 2002: Submission of papers and tutorial proposals 18 Oct 2002: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection 8 Nov 2002: Camera-Ready copies of accepted papers 9-12 March 2003: SAC'03 takes place ___________________________________________________________________ |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 |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: reminder: E-Services and Semantic Web workshop Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 13:57:01 -0500 From: ESSW 2002 <essw2002(a)RESEARCH.BELL-LABS.COM> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Does Semantic Web technology address core problems in Web Services? What is the right model of web services against which formal tools and automated reasoning should be used? These are the fundamental question behind the E-Services and Semantic Web workshop (http://db.bell-labs.com/essw2002), that will be held in Toronto, May 31-June 1, 2002. We invite you to submit a paper and/or participate in this workshop. This is not "yet another" Web services or Semantic Web workshop. The workshop features two distinguished speakers in this area: - Ian Horrocks (a pioneer in Semantic Web and ontologies), and - Gerhard Weikum (a pioneer in workflow and e-services technologies). The workshop PC has strong representation from academic and industry researchers in both the AI/Semantic-Web and database/workflow communities. This workshop presents a unique opportunity for these disparate communities to share their views and to reach some common understandings. The workshop location is an attractive destination, and the timing is convenient for participants who plan to attend the PODS/SIGMOD conference (which starts the following Monday). The workshop is held in conjunction with CAiSE, which features additional workshops, relevant invited speakers, and numerous technical sessions of interest to e-services, AI, workflow, and database researchers. We invite you to attend this workshop, and/or to submit a paper, a panel proposal, or a statement of research interest. Deadline for Submission: March 22 (hard deadline) CFP: http://db.bell-labs.com/essw2002 Rick Hull and Sheila McIlraith ___________________________________________________________________ |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: CFP The Fifth International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research (ICECR-5)
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP The Fifth International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research (ICECR-5) Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 13:40:45 -0500 From: benoit aubert <benoit.aubert(a)HEC.CA> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Call for Papers The Fifth International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research (ICECR-5) Montreal, Canada October 23-27, 2002 http://tecom.cox.smu.edu/icecr5/ Scope and Goals of the Conference Over the past few years, electronic commerce has emerged as a dramatic new mode of conducting business. Today, almost every company is either using or considering the use of e-business. Advances in telecommunications, automated processes, decision technologies, economics, and management are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety of industries, ranging from banking and finance to music and entertainment. Yet, the electronic business space is still in a relatively early state of evolution, and many of the significant advances in understanding and implementing e-commerce are occurring concurrently in academia and industry. Thus, dialogue on this field between academia and industry is important. As electronic business spans a wide range of reference disciplines, forums focusing on e-commerce research are vital to stimulate the necessary interactions and knowledge sharing across this broad community. The Fifth International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research ICECR-5 is intended to address these needs. The series of ICECR conferences established a history of success in bringing together academic and industrial researchers from various fields on an ongoing, annual basis to discuss developments and challenges of electronic business understood in the largest possible sense of the term. The aim of ICECR-5 is to continue this tradition and provide a high quality forum for the presentation of results, exchange of ideas, and scientific discussions on challenges, methodologies, new technologies and their impact, computational and deployment issues, policies and advanced applications in the area of e-business. Our goal is to open the conference to participants from all fields, in particular, telecommunications, computer science, management sciences, operations research, economy, legal and policy studies. The conference will combine technical presentations grouped in research sessions, with industry and research plenary speakers, as well as industry-lead panels. Following the 2001 successful meeting held at the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, the International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research moves for its fifth edition to HEC Montreal in the city of Montreal, Canada. Montreal is an ideal location for a conference that has the ambition to bring together researchers from all over the world and, in particular, from Europe and North America. Montreal blends the best of the two continents to offer a unique atmosphere and joie de vivre that the social program will deliver in full. Papers submitted for presentation at the conference will be selected on the basis of an extended abstract of 5 to 10 pages. The abstracts have to be submitted by May 15, 2002 to Professor Bezalel Gavish <mailto:gavishb@mail.cox.smu.edu> or to Professor Teodor Gabriel <http://www.crt.umontreal.ca/~theo> Crainic or directly to the conference address <mailto:icecr5@crt.umontreal.ca> (electronic submissions are encouraged). All selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Refereed full papers will be considered for publication in the Electronic Commerce <http://www.wkap.nl/journalhome.htm/1389-5753> Research Journal. Further information and instructions will be announced at a later date and will be posted on the conference web site.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: new and firm deadline for OOIS'02 : April 5, 2002 Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 17:51:48 +0100 From: Zohra Bellahsene <bella(a)LIRMM.FR> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Due to many requests, the new and firm deadline for submitting papers is April 5, 2002 ************************************************************* OOIS2002 8th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems September 2-5, 2002 Montpellier, France http://www.lirmm.fr/OOIS2002/ Supported by CNRS, INRIA Conference Theme The quantity of information available on the Web is rocketing. However, this information is not easilyaccessible. Indeed, query and retrieval as well as Web information management become extremely difficult. Also, data on the Web is placed independently by different organization; thus, documents containing related data may appear at different Web-sites and in different format. New object-oriented technologies have been conceived and implemented over the past decade in order to manage complexity inherent in the new information systems development. Research has spanned from information systems modeling (UML and OPEN) to databases (ODMG), from programming languages (Java) to middleware technology (CORBA). However, developing the new information systems whose platforms are based on Internet brings developers considerations of new issues such as providing flexible mechanisms to provide integrated views over multiple heterogeneous information sources. The main theme of OOIS'2002 is "Object-Technology and Integration of heterogeneous Information Systems" and the conference program will address both technologies and methodologies for building them. Relevant Topics The topics of OOIS'2002 will include, but are not limited to - OO frameworks - OO components/COTS - OO business models - OO patterns - Mobile Web Information Systems, - OO middle-ware - Reuse processes - Web based Information Systems - e-business/e-commerce - Web-based Applications - Query Languages for Web data - System modelling processes - OO distributed systems - OO built-in tests - Design and Maintenance of XML Warehouses - Managing Semi-structured data and XML - Web Query Processing and Optimization - Integration of Structured and Semi-structured Data - Mechanisms for handling data and knowledge - Web Mining - Mobile information systems - Web-based Publishing and Digital Libraries, - Requirement elicitation processes - Testing processes IMPORTANT DATES March 18 2002 Abstract submission March 25 2002 Paper submission May 20 2002 Notification of acceptance June 15 2002 final contributions SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Conference Proceedings will be published by the Springer-Verlag (in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series).

Brno is the the second largest city in the Czech Republic with population of almost 400,000, and is the country's judiciary and trade-fair centre. Brno is the capital of Moravia, which is in the south-east part of the Czech Republic. It had been the King's town since 1347 and with its six Universities it forms a cultural center of the region. Brno can be reached easily by direct trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130 km). For the participants with some extra time, some nearby places may also be of interest. The local ones include: Brno Castle now called Spilberk, Veveri Castle, Old and New City Halls, the Augustine Monastery with St. Thomas Church and crypt of Moravian Margraves, Church of St. James, Bishops Church of St. Peter & Paul, Cartesian Monastery in Kralovo Pole, famous villa Tugendhat designed by Mies van der Rohe and other important buildings of between-war Czech architecture. For those willing to venture out of Brno, Moravian Karst with Macocha Chasm and Punkva caves, battlefield of Battle of three emperors (Napoleon, Russian Alexander and Austrian Franz - battle by Austerlitz), Chateau of Slavkov (Austerlitz), Pernstejn Castle, Buchlov Castle, Lednice Chateau, Buchlovice Chateau, Letovice Chateau, Mikulov with one of the greatest Jewish cemeteries in Central Europe, Telc - the town on the list of UNESCO and many others are all within an easy reach. -------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: Final CFP: Unification in non-classical logics
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Final CFP: Unification in non-classical logics Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 08:58:55 +0100 From: Manuel Ojeda Aciego <aciego(a)CTIMA.UMA.ES> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE ======================================================================= We apologize if you receive this more than once ======================================================================= Final call for papers Unification in Non-Classical Logics --co-located with ICALP 2002-- July, 12-13, 2002, Málaga, Spain http://www.satd.uma.es/aciego/icalp-ws.html ======================================================================= The workshop on Unification in Non-Classical Logics will be held in Málaga, as a workshop of the 29-th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2002), which is a very convenient forum for an open discussion of the subject of non-canonical unification, roughly depicted below. Aims and scope -------------- Unification in non-classical logics, with various approaches to handling generalised terms, has drawn more and more attention in recent years. It turns out to be among the most promising areas of research on non-classical logics and its applications. So far, most popular lines of research include fuzzy unification of (conventional) databases and the use of fuzzy concepts in information retrieval. Some international events based on these topics have been held so far, for instance, the 2nd Intl Workshop on Logic Programming and Soft Computing (LPSC'98), or the special session on Advances in Possibilistic Logic and Related Issues at the IFSA Congress in Vancouver, Canada (2001), have non-classical unification among their topics. This workshop at ICALP is conceived as a forum for the exchange of ideas relevant for the concept of unification in non-classical logics, including, but not limited to, the following topics (practical implementations and experiences as well as theoretical advances): * Unification in multiple-valued and fuzzy logic programming. * Unification based on similarities and fuzzy equivalence relations. * Categorical unification. * Practical use of non-classical unification, e.g. in expert systems and information retrieval. We expect potential participants from the following areas: multiple-valued logic, fuzzy logic, uncertainty in logic programming, categorical applications to computer science. The workshop will have a limited number of presentations and the organizers will apply a refereeing procedure accordingly. The format will be as a set of presentations followed by a round table discussion. As the number of participants is estimated not to be very large, time enough will be allocated for each presentation (between 30 and 40 minutes), thus helping to have a relaxed workshop atmosphere in which discussions are encouraged. Submission ---------- Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of their papers, presenting original contributions to the workshop themes. The workshop proceedings will be published as an issue in the ENTCS series (Electronic Notes on Theoretical Computer Science). Submissions should be written in English and not exceed 15 pages using the ENTCS style, and sent to the organizers in either PS or PDF form, together with a text-only message containig: title, abstract and keywords, the author's full names, and address and e-mail for correspondence. Simultaneous submission to other meetings with published proceedings is not allowed. Important dates --------------- * 20.03.2002 Workshop paper submission deadline * 21.04.2002 Workshop paper acceptance notification * 10.05.2002 Workshop paper camera-ready deadline Organizing Committee -------------------- Patrik Eklund Manuel Ojeda-Aciego Dept.
