Subject: First World Congress of Future Science and Culture
Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2002 17:51:07 +0100 (MET)
From: Raimund Kirner <raimund(a)vmars.tuwien.ac.at>
To: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at
Dear Colleague,
many of us who came to work in the sciences or similar areas did so because
we wanted to explore the unknown and gain more knowledge and ultimately make
this world a better place. It is undoubtedly true that modern science has
brought immense benefits to humanity but also encountered many unsolved
questions and problems including environmental pollution.
Perhaps it is now time for a different approach: Falun Dafa takes a holistic
view of life and the universe. It builds on the insights of modern science
and combines them with the insights from ancient Chinese science and
culture. We, scientists who understand Falun Dafa, invite you to participate
in the First World Congress of Future Science and Culture that will be held
at Cambridge on March 9th and 10th of 2002. This congress will see state of
the art research in this field and serve as a forum for discussing how these
new ideas could exert a profound influence on the future science and culture
of humankind.
Renowned specialists and professors in diverse academic disciplines from many
different parts of the world will be participating. A schedule for March
9th is attached. On March 10 we will be holding an informal discussion
session at which participants at the conference can raise issues with the
speakers.
We do hope that you will be able to find the time to attend. Please let us
know if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Guihua Li

Conference Site
---------------
iiWAS2002 will take place in the beautiful city of Bandung - Indonesia.
Bandung, City of Flowers, is the provincial capital of West Java and
Indonesia' s third largest city. Known in colonial times as the "Paris of
Java" because of its European ambiance and sophistication, and situated on a
plateau in the beautiful Parahayangan mountains, Bandung's pleasant climate
and lush surroundings have offered an escape from the heat of the lowlands
since the mid 19th century when it was the heart of the region's most
prosperous plantation area. Host to the historic Asia Africa conference in
1955, Bandung is now a center of higher education, commerce and aircraft
industry, which despite its modern amenities still retains much of its
colonial era charm.
You will find more travel, accommodation, social program, and tourist
information on the conference website. The official language of iiWAS2002 is
English.

Call for Papers & Participation
4th International Workshop on
DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF DATA WAREHOUSES
(DMDW'2002)
May 27, 2002
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
in conjunction with the
14th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'02)
May 27-31, 2002
Data Warehousing embraces technology and industrial practice to
systematically integrate data from multiple distributed data sources and to
use that data in annotated and aggregated form to support business
decision-making and enterprise management. Although many database techniques
have been revisited or newly developed in the context of data warehouses,
such as view maintenance and OLAP, little attention has been paid to the
design and management of data warehouses to appropriately serve their
purposes, i.e., to support the management of a given enterprise. This
workshop is intended as a forum to fill this gap. DMDW started as a CAiSE
worhshop in Heidelberg, 1999. Since then, the workshop has taken place on an
annual basis with a big success, with special journal issues publishing best
papers from past editions of DMDW. As in earlier DMDW workshops, we invite
research papers covering all aspects of data warehouse design and management
over its lifecycle. Equally welcome are papers from the industry reporting
on data warehouse toolkits and experiences from data warehouse
implementation projects. The workshop will continue to promote a culture of
vivid discussions.
We cordially invite researchers to submit original research papers to the 4th
DMDW Workshop, and practitioners of the DW application industry to submit
experience papers. Here is a non-exclusive list of
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Research Track
--------------
Design methods for data warehouses
Data warehouse architectures
Physical organization of data warehouses
Materialized view selection for data warehousing
Data extraction and cleaning for data warehousing
Organization of meta-data management

Subject: CFP: AOIS at AAMAS'02 - 4th Int. Bi-Conf. Workshop on Agent-Oriented Information Systems
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 19:15:30 +0100
From: Giorgini Paolo <pgiorgio(a)SCIENCE.UNITN.IT>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Call for Papers
Fourth International Bi-Conference Workshop on
Agent-Oriented Information Systems
(AOIS-2002)
http://www.aois.org
Special Track
-------------
Agent-Oriented Methodologies:
Commonalities and Distinctions
15 or 16 July, 2002
at the
The First International Joint Conference on
Autonomous Agents & Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS 2002)
Bologna, Italy
Workshop Description
--------------------
Agent-Orientation is emerging as a powerful new paradigm in computing.
Concepts and techniques from the agents paradigm could well be the
foundations for the next generation of mainstream information systems.
Information systems have become the backbone of all kinds of
organizations today. In almost every sector - manufacturing,
education, health care, government, and businesses large and small -
information systems are relied upon for everyday work,
communication, information gathering, and decision-making. Yet the
inflexibilities in current technologies and methods have also
resulted in poor performance, incompatibilities, and obstacles to
change. As many organizations are reinventing themselves to meet the
challenges of global competition and e-commerce, there is increasing
pressure to develop and deploy new technologies that are flexible,
robust, and responsive to rapid and unexpected change.
Agent concepts hold great promise for responding to the new realities
of information systems. They offer higher level abstractions and
mechanisms which address issues such as knowledge representation and
reasoning, communication, coordination, cooperation among
heterogeneous and autonomous parties, perception, commitments, goals,
beliefs, intentions, etc. On the one hand, the concrete
implementation of these concepts can lead to advanced functionalities,
e.g., in inference-based query answering, transaction control,
adaptive workflows, brokering and integration of disparate
information sources, and automated communication processes. On the
other, their rich representational capabilities allow more faithful
and flexible treatments of complex organizational processes, leading
to more effective requirements analysis, and architectural/detailed
design. The workshop will focus on how agent concepts and techniques
will contribute to meeting information systems needs today and tomorrow.
The workshop encourages submissions on all topics related to AOIS,
including (but not limited to) the following:
- agent-oriented modeling and design methods
- models and architectures for agent-oriented information systems
- novel information system technologies based on software agents
- agent-oriented requirements engineering
- agents and knowledge management
- agent-oriented approaches to data integration
- agent-based workflow modeling
- agent orientation and e-services/web services
- agent orientation in web information systems
- agent-oriented enterprise and business process modeling
- agent communication languages for business communication
- ontologies and agents
- managing trust and reputation
- automated business-to-business interaction (including negotiation
and contracting)
- agent technology in massive information analysis and summary
Special Track:
Agent-Oriented Methodologies -- Commonalities and Distinctions
--------------------------------------------------------------
The growth of interest in software agents and multi-agent systems has
recently led to the development of new methodologies based on agent
concepts. Methodologies (such as, Gaia, AAII, MaSE, AUML,
Message/UML, and Tropos, among others) have become the focal point of
attention in the emerging area of agent-oriented software engineering.
These methodologies propose different approaches in using agent
concepts and techniques at various stages during the software
development lifecycle.
To promote deeper understanding among and to foster synergy across research
efforts in the various methodologies, this special track solicits
research contributions that will identify, analyze, and illustrate
the commonalities and distinctions across different methodologies.
Methodologies may differ in their objectives and underlying premises,
the way they deal with issues such as openness, uncertainty, security,
and autonomy, the extent of coverage over the different phases of
software engineering, the way they stress the evolution, maintenance,
and other non-functional qualities, and eventually with respect to
the tools and technologies that can support them.
Methodologies may also differ in generality, some focusing on
specialized application domains, or specific implementation
technologies. A clarification of the similarities and differences
among methodologies is needed to guide the practitioner in choosing
which methodology to adopt for what applications and circumstances. A
clearer understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of various
methodologies, their compatibilities and divergences, will also be
crucial for further advancements in the development of methodologies.
Submissions to this special track are encouraged to present their
methodology using a case study from an information system
application area. The case study is intended to be representative of
the kinds of challenges faced by real-world information systems today
and tomorrow, but also to be useful to show weaknesses and strengths
of the presented methodology. After the workshop we would like to
define a "challenge problem" taking contributions from all the
participants and use it as a "benchmark example" for comparison in
the future workshops.
Submissions papers must have agent orientation as a central
feature. They could include (but are not limited to) papers that:
- contain a detailed exposition of one methodology using a case study and
explaining what stages the methodology covers, possibly with direct
comparisons to at least one other methodology;
- focus on selected technical issues (e.g., evolution and maintenance,
coordination and protocols, validation and verification), analyzing
how one or more methodologies deal with those issues, using a case
study as much as possible to illustrate;
- analyze and illustrate how selected agent concepts (e.g., roles,
responsibilities, capabilities, intentionality, autonomy,
dependency networks and trust) are used in different
methodologies, and the consequences of those different approaches;
- describe the decisions and commitments supported by one methodology in
the development process, possibly showing what kinds of analyses
are used to support these decisions;
- compare a methodology to other agent-based methodologies as well as
other non-agent-based methodologies (for instance, object-oriented,
component-based, etc.);
- present from practical experience the methodological difficulties
and challenges a methodology may face, possibly proposing
requirements and evolution criteria for evaluating methodologies
from practical prospective.
For authors that do not have a case study we suggest using one of the
following available at the IS World Net (http://www.isworld.org/):
- Juul Mäller Bokhandel A/S
(http://www.espen.com/papers/jme.pdf)
Describes the trials and tribulations of a small struggling
bookstore, when confronted with rapidly expanding Internet-based
book retailers such as Amazon.com. Written by Espen Andersen
(Norwegian School of Management), 1997.
- Customer-Centric Reengineering at the Colorado Department of
Revenue
(http://www.coba.usf.edu/departments/isds/faculty/abhatt/cases/CDOR.pdf)
Presents an innovative, customer-centric approach to
reengineering using three projects at a state agency. Projects
examined include licensing of casino employees, ports of entry
processing, and individual income tax processing.
Written by Anol Bhattacherjee (Arizona State University), 1999.
- U S West Global Village
(http://coba.usf.edu/departments/isds/faculty/abhatt/cases/USWest.pdf)
Examines the design, justification, and implementation of a
corporate intranet at a large U.S. telecommunications company.
Written by Anol Bhattacherjee (Arizona State University), 1997.
Workshop Format
---------------
To foster greater communication and interaction between the
Information Systems and Agents communities, we are organizing the
workshop as a bi-conference event. It is intended to be a single
"logical" event with two "physical" venues. It is hoped that this
arrangement will encourage greater participation from, and more
exchange between, both communities. The first part of the
bi-conference event will be held at the Fourteenth International
Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering - CAiSE 2002
(http://www.cs.toronto.edu/caise2002/).
The technical program will include an invited talk, contributed
papers, and poster sessions. Authors of accepted papers who present
their paper at one location will also be invited to present their
papers as a poster in the other location. We also plan a joint panel
with the Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) workshop, titled
"IS and SE opportunities & challenges for AO".
To mitigate the
geographic and temporal separation of the two parts of the workshop,
electronic discussion will be strongly encouraged. Accepted papers
will be posted on the workshop website. There will be designated
discussants for each paper. Discussants' comments will also be posted
on the website.
Publication of selected papers from the workshop in a
special issue of a journal is being planned.
Submission of Papers
--------------------
To submit a regular paper as a postscript or pdf file, authors should
either send it by email (or place it on a web server and send its URL) to
pgiorgini(a)science.unitn.it by February 22, 2002. A separate message with
the title, author names, affiliations, contact information and an
abstract has to be sent by February 20, 2002. Papers must be of
reasonable size (not exceeding 15 pages).
Position papers can be submitted at any time by email to
pgiorgini(a)science.unitn.it in ps or pdf format. Please have a look at

Research Article
Computer Software Training Using Delayed and Synchronous Methods:
An Exploratory Study into End Users' Performance and Satisfaction
Shailendra C. Jain Palvia
Long Island University, C.W. Post Campus
Both academic institutions and corporations have been investing significant
amount of time and money to provide the necessary computer software
training. This research attempts to determine effective methods to impart
software training. Specifically, this paper
(a) delineates four methods -- traditional, asynchronous, delayed, and
synchronous -- to conduct computer software training in a group setting,
(b) articulates and develops instruments to measure three relatively
distinct areas of computer software knowledge and skills -- memory recall,
critical thinking, and computing literacy,
(c) utilizes experimental design research methodology to collect data,
and (d) analyzes data to compare end users' performance and satisfaction
with the delayed and synchronous training methods for spreadsheet software
(excel).
The findings are:
(a) both delayed and synchronous methods individually contribute to
improving memory recall, critical thinking, and computing literacy;
(b) there is no evidence to suggest that either training method is
superior in contributing to the improvement in memory recall, critical
thinking, and computing literacy; and
(c) the end-users find synchronous method to be more satisfying in
comparison to the delayed method for learning spreadsheet software.
Teaching Case Article
Electronic Delivery of Convenience:A Service Innovation at the 7-Eleven
Retail Chain in Hong Kong
Karl R. Lang and J. Christopher Westland
The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology
This paper explores possible strategic advantages through IT service
innovations in the consumer retail market. In particular, a real case at
the 7-Eleven retail chain in Hong Kong considering the launch decision of
new electronic service products is examined. We report on a project study
that was conducted to identify and then recommend electronic service
opportunities that would provide consumer benefit and promise consumer
acceptance in the Hong Kong market. Employing multiple research
methodologies - SWOT analysis, brainstorming, focus group study, consumer
survey, and financial modeling - allows us to analyze market implications
from different perspectives. Based on these analyses we derive and discuss
a set of management recommendations.
