>The purpose of this minitrack is to provide a forum for researchers and
>practitioners to discuss software technology issues related to the emerging
>peer-to-peer paradigm. We envisage an interdisciplinary forum bringing
>together
>participants with technology background and practitioners from both the
>industry
>and the open source community to discuss and evaluate the technology
>aspect as
>well as the interplay between technological capabilities and new emerging
>forms
>of commercial electronic interaction. Examples of such systems include
>electronic
>marketplaces, information exchange, collaborative systems, P2P protocols and
>architectures, etc.
>P2P computing provides a new paradigm of distributed computing requiring new
>approaches and patterns. In this context, several technologies appear to
>converge
>among which Peer-to-Peer frameworks, Mobile Agents, Digital Rights
>Management /
>Digital Policy Management, trust computing, cognitive or knowledge agents and
>ontologies. This convergence provides new opportunities to design novel IT
>architectures to support new organizational forms and flexible ways of
>conducting
>and reengineering businesses.
>
>Contributions of interest will be those that describe novel business
>interaction
>and user coordination models, the supporting information systems and new
>types of
>systems and applications supporting the peer-to-peer paradigm. Topics
>related to
>the paradigm of peer-to-peer Ecommerce include, but are not limited to, the
>following:
>
> - P2P system architectures and protocols
> - security and payment mechanisms
> - mobile agents
> - semantic transformation and discovery

ACIS 2003: ~ 26th - 28th November 2003
Introduction:
The School of MIS at Edith Cowan and the We-BCentre are proud to present
The 14th Australasian Conference on Information Systems.
ACIS 2003 will take place from 26th - 28th November 2003 at Hotel
Rendezvous, Scarborough Beach, Perth, Western Australia. Scarborough boasts
the best white sandy beaches in the world and is only a 10 minute drive to
Hillarys Marine Harbour where the award winning aquatic theme park offers a
close encounter with unique marine life.
Information systems researchers, educators, practitioners and decision
makers are invited to participate in or submit papers/proposals to this
premier event in the Australasian region.
Conference Theme:
The theme of the conference is, "Delivering IT and e-Business Value in
Networked Environments". Information systems facilitate networks that
operate at various levels in organisations and society. These extend from
internal work teams through inter-organisational information systems to
global e-business communities. A continuing challenge is to design these
systems to deliver business value. The conference will draw participants
from national and international organisations.
The conference will consider papers on any aspects related to information
systems and selected on the basis of merits and expected interest. Topics of
interest may include but are not limited to:
=> IS evaluation and measurement of benefits
=> IS strategy, management and adoption
=> Delivering value through IS
=> IS applications and development issues
=> E-business applications
=> Security issues in IS/E-Business
=> Social, legal, ethical and cultural issues in IS and e-Business
=> IS research approaches
=> The IS discipline and IS education
=> Knowledge management - the role of IS
=> SMEs and IT/IS
=> Enterprise information systems
=> Global information systems issues
=> e-Government
Invited speakers from government and major commercial interests will present
position papers to complement invited academic Keynotes.

PURPOSE
Firms use alliances, mergers, and acquisitions to acquire new resources,
expand their capabilities, and to strengthen their position in their
competitive environment. In the last decade, the business community has had
the opportunity to observe the effects of these devices across many
industries. While very promising, alliances, mergers, and acquisitions are
complex, and have often led to undesirable results. The aim of this
conference is to act as a forum for the exchange of information and
experiences among experts from academia, business, and government on this
interdisciplinary subject. The conference will be organized as three
parallel symposia; the first on Finance, Accounting, and Economics, the
second on Management and Human Resources, and the third on Law.
LOCATION
This year's AMA conference will take place at The Banff Centre. Banff, the
crown jewel of Canada's national park system, is one of the world's premier
protected wilderness areas and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. With over six thousand square kilometers of mountains, forests,
rivers, and lakes, Banff is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Each year
people from around the world come to marvel at the sapphire waters of Lake
Louise, walk in the flower-laden fields of Sunshine Meadows, and drive
beneath the towering jagged peaks lining the Icefields Parkway. Be awe
inspired by the rugged alpine beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

Subject: ISWC2003 Call for Industry Papers
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2003 11:30:24 -0800
From: Christoph Bussler <chris.bussler(a)oracle.com>
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
2nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2003)
Sanibel Island, Florida, USA
20-23 October 2003
http://iswc2003.semanticweb.org
CALL FOR INDUSTRY PAPERS
The vision of the Semantic Web is to make web data machine
processable, and rests on the premise that to do so we need
to accommodate, somehow, the semantics of these data. Many
technologies and methodologies are being developed within
Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Software Engineering and
Information Systems that can contribute towards the
realization of this vision. Among those are languages for
semantic annotation of Web documents, ontologies,
technologies and methodologies for building multi-agent
systems, semantic interoperation of programs that have been
developed totally independently, technologies and
methodologies for describing, searching and composing Web
Services, and more.
ISWC2003 welcomes the submission of original industrial papers
dealing with all aspects of the Semantic Web, particularly
those relating to the subject areas indicated by the topics
below. We encourage papers relating to industrial efforts and
experiences with Semantic Web projects. These papers will be
presented in the Industrial Track.
The industrial track of the conference encourages
submissions covering innovative commercial implementations
of semantic web technology, novel applications of semantic
web technology, and experience in applying research advances
to practical situations. Such papers should describe
innovative implementations, new approaches to fundamental
challenges (such as large scale ontologies or semantic
complexity), or other major technical improvements to the
state-of-the-practice. Industrial / application / experience
submissions may be either full papers whose technical
density is comparable to research submissions or extended
abstracts.
Discouraged are papers or abstracts that are marketing
oriented or are pure product descriptions or specifications.
The goal of the industrial track is to demonstrate the
application of research results in software products as well
as state real world requirements from practical applications
that might encourage further research into specific domains
of semantic web technology.
Conference Topics Of Interest and Area Keywords
Suggested topics include:
* Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Annotations of Web
Data
* Ontologies (creation, merging, linking and reconciliation)
* Large Scale Knowledge Management
* Data Semantics
* Database Technologies for the Semantic Web
* Knowledge Portals
* Tools and Methodologies for Multi-Agent Software Systems
* Semantic Brokering
* Semantic Interoperability
* Semantic Web Mining
* Semantic Web Services (service description, discovery, invocation,
composition)
* Semantic Web Inference Schemes
* Semantic Web Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights
* Semantic Web for e-Business and e-Learning
* Searching and Querying
* User Interfaces
* Visualization and modelling

Important Dates
April 15, 2003 Paper submission
June 15, 2003 Acceptance Notification
July 15, 2003 Camera-Ready Papers due
Please note that the deadline for paper submission is
strict: no extensions will be allowed.
Submission Details
* Paper submission and reviewing for ISWC2003 will be electronic, via
the conference WWW site:
http://iswc2003.semanticweb.org
* The only formats allowed for submission are PostScript or
PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format). These are widely
supported and well-known standards: papers will not be
accepted in any other format (e.g., MS Word) because of
compatibility problems between software versions,
machines, and nationalities. See the conference WWW site
for information about how to convert other formats (e.g.,
MS Word) to PDF/PostScript.
* Note that the electronic submission site is likely to be
very busy around the paper submission deadline. You are
strongly urged to submit your abstract and your paper as
far in advance of the deadline as possible.
* Submitted papers must be formatted in the style of the
Springer publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer
Science.
* Papers must be no longer than 8 pages, including figures
and references, when formatted using the style files
provided. Overlength papers will be rejected.
* ISWC2003 will not accept any paper which, at the time of
submission, is under review for or has already been
published or accepted for publication in a journal or
another conference.
* PLEASE monitor http://iswc2003.semanticweb.org for further
submission details or changes.

CALL FOR PAPERS
WETICE 2003
http://netserver.cerc.wvu.edu/wetice03/
**********************************************************
IEEE 12th International Workshops on Enabling Technologies:
Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises
Johannes Kepler Universitaet Linz, Austria
June 9-11, 2003
**********************************************************
WETICE is an annual, international forum for
state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies
for collaboration.
WETICE-2003 will consist of a number of workshops on
different topics related to collaboration technology.
Details of each workshop can be found on its individual
web page linked via the wetice main page at
http://netserver.cerc.wvu.edu/wetice03/ .
The papers (maximum 6 pages) should be submitted directly
to the organizers of the individual workshops.
What sets WET ICE apart from larger conferences
is that the workshops are kept small enough to
promote fruitful discussions on the latest
technology developments, directions, problems,
and requirements. Each workshop will include
paper presentations and working group discussions,
keynote sessions and a final joint session to
summarize each groups' findings.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by a
minimum of three people. The accepted papers and
the summary report produced by each group will be
published in the post-conference proceedings (to be
published by the IEEE Computer Press).
Each accepted paper should have at least one author
register and present the paper at WETICE-2003 to get
the paper published in the Proceedings.
