Subject: ACM Announces New Practitioner Magazine
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 12:23:01 -0500
From: queue(a)acm.org
To: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at
Dear ACM Member,
Useful, practitioner-oriented information--more insights, more advice, more
tools, and more timely content to help practicing professionals in their
jobs: these are the threads we consistently find in feedback from members.
Responding to that demand was uppermost in both our minds when we first
became involved with the ACM. So we're particularly happy to tell you today
about the upcoming launch of Queue, ACM's new publication created
specifically for people in the business of developing software.
If you're like us, you're probably inundated with periodicals you never
read. We plan for Queue to be different. Instead of rehashing solutions to
problems and promulgating sometimes thinly disguised product descriptions,
Queue focuses on the challenges just ahead. Technology changes, new
capabilities emerge and standards evolve--all of which can significantly
change the assumptions we make and the environments in which software
operates. These changes also affect how system components interoperate.
Queue looks at the potentially problematic situations most likely to emerge
over the next 6 to 18 months as important new capabilities and technologies
are introduced--probing for insights that software engineers and developers
can use to understand the challenges and plan more intelligently for the
future.
The March 2003 premier issue (which, as an ACM Member, you will receive with
our compliments) looks at the anticipated impact of Web Services, with
contributions from leading architects at Microsoft, IBM, BEA, Sun and
Akamai, who were asked to comment on the challenges inherent in:
Building web services
Achieving acceptable performance
Dealing with security
Integrating legacy applications
Maintaining open architectures You won't find glib and oversimplified
answers. Instead you'll see the critical thinking and candid commentary that
Queue encourages. But you needn't take our word for it. Take a look for
yourself now at: http://www.acmqueue.org. If you like what you see, please
forward this to your colleagues who, like you, may also be looking for just
this kind of information.

Call for Papers: Invited Session on
Promoting Smart User-Centred Approaches in Innovative Teaching & Learning
Session Organiser & Chair: Dr Claude Ghaoui, UK
As part of the 7th International Conference on
Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems
3, 4 & 5 September 2003, St Anne's College, University of Oxford, UK
Topic and Aim of the Session
Successful use of ICT in education depends on smart usable designs that do
not require expensive training, accommodate the needs of diverse users and
are low cost. Thus, there is an increasing pressure for adopting innovative
approaches to the design and delivery of education. This is partly due to
the increasing number of learners and the limited resources available to
meet such diversity in user needs, background, expectations, skills, ages,
abilities and cultural differences.
The advances in ICT have made it possible to reach out to a wider audience
around the globe. However, this is not always satisfactory. Introducing
successful innovation in T&L requires care in employing smart user-centred
approaches that are derived from HCI research & principles; this issue
remains a big challenge. Motivated by this challenge, the session aims to
emphasize the need to take a multi-disciplinary view on this issue, by
marrying solutions from HCI, AI, interactive multimedia technology and the
WWW to benefit innovative T&L.
Research papers, which address any questions/problems on this
topic/challenge, are welcome. Both theoretical papers and papers describing
practical experiences are welcome. Authors are strongly encouraged to
provide in-depth conclusions of their insights on weaknesses, strengths and
lessons learnt of issues they introduce.
Instructions for Authors
A brief intention must be sent by email to the Session Chair, including
author's details, title and a brief abstract. Only electronic copies of the
full paper in Microsoft Word or PDF forms are acceptable for review purposes
and must be sent by email to the Session Chair directly. However, you will
be required to send camera-ready hard copy of the final version of your

* AGENT Technology for AUTONOMOUS Business PROCESSING *
*************************************************************
http://cs.newpaltz.edu/~pham/ABA-03/
An International Conference-Crossing Workshop at
The 2003 International MultiConference in Computer Science & Engineering
(a 15-Joint-Conference event)
June 23-26, 2003
Monte-Carlo Resort, LAS-VEGAS, USA
TOPICS:
Automation can help us to carry out various activities in a low-cost,
fast, and effective way with minimal human involvement. AGENT technology
is one of the most promising tools to implement automation providing
AUTONOMOUS PROCESSING of information, knowledge, manufacturing data, and
business transactions in an automatic, flexible, and intelligent way.
The goal of this event is to gather ACADEMIC and INDUSTRIAL researchers
to exchange new ideas and experiences, to initialize new contacts toward
future cooperation or to strengthen existing collaborations. We hope to
create a dynamic forum and effective connections among academic and
industrial RESEARCHERS, USERS, and DEVELOPERS in this field.
This year, in Las Vegas, we plan to have the following tracks at the five
conferences:
Track-A:" Internet Agents for Autonomous Processing "(at IC'03)
Track-B:" Distributed & Parallel Computing Techniques for Agents "
(at PDPTA'03)
Track-C:" Intelligent Agents for Autonomous Processing " (at IC-AI'03)
Track-D:" Agents for Autonomous Information and Knowledge Processing"
(at IKE'03)
Track-E:" Learning Agents for Autonomous Processing "(at MLMTA'03)
Track-X: PRODUCT/SOFTWARE demo (TBD)
Track-Y: Panel Discussions (TBD)
We welcome papers on architectures, protocols, algorithms, design,
evaluation (performance, QoS, security), implementation techniques, and
applications for agent-based systems. For more details on topicts please
visit: http://cs.newpaltz.edu/~pham/ABA-03/
PUBLICATION:
Accepted papers will be published in the corresponding CONFERENCE
PROCEEDINGs by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hard copy. In addition to that,
we also plan to have the revised versions of papers of ALL tracks
published in JOURNAL special issues or in a BOOK called
"Agents for Autonomous Business Processing".
In the past, selected papers from our 2002 workshop "Agents for Business
Automation" were extended and revised to be published as a special
issue of the ELSEVIER's International Journal on "E-commerce Research &
Applications", selected papers from our 2001 workshop "Agents for
E-business on the Internet" were extended and revised and are to be
published as a special issue of the KLUWER's International Journal on
"Electronic Commerce Research".
SUBMISSION:
Papers will be accepted in the following categories:
+ RESEARCH Papers;
+ REPORT Papers for System/Software/Product descriptions, and analysis;
+ POSITION Papers for stating problems and issues
of Challenging Business Scenarios.
Accepted papers of ALL categories will be published in the CONFERENCE
PROCEEDINGs. The length of the Camera-Ready version of accepted papers is
limited to 7 or 4 pages.

TA'03 Wozu Experten?
Wissenschaftliche Expertise zwischen politischen Ansprüchen und öffentlicher
Skepsis
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.
Einreichfrist: 28. Februar 2003
