---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CfP: EON2003 at ISWC2003 Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2003 16:29:29 +0200 From: "York Sure" <sure(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> To: www-rdf-logic(a)w3.org, www-rdf-interest(a)w3.org --------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize if you receive this message more than once. --------------------------------------------------------------- ***** ONLY TWO WEEKS TO GO! ***** Call for papers Evaluation of Ontology-based Tools (EON2003) http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/eon2003 Workshop at the 2nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2003) 20 October 2003 Sundial Resort, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- *** OBJECTIVES *** In the Evaluation of Ontology-based Tools workshop we intend to bring together researchers and practitioners from the fastly developing research areas Ontologies and Semantic Web. Currently the semantic web attracts researchers from all around the world. Numerous tools and applications of semantic web technologies are already available and the number is growing fast. However, deploying large scale ontology solutions typically involves several separate tasks and requires applying multiple tools. Therefore pragmatic issues such as interoperability are key if industry is to be encouraged to take up ontology technology rapidly. The main aim of this workshop is therefore to encourage and stimulate discussions about the evaluation of ontology-based tools. The large visibility of the semantic web, its tools and applications already attract industrial partners . In particular, as tools move from academic institutions into commercial environments they have to fulfil stronger requirements and in some cases new requirements (e.g. concerning scalability and multi-user access). Different tools from different sources need to interoperate. Typically tools are not anymore standalone solutions but integrated into a framework. This framework must be open to other commercialapplications and provide connectors and interfaces to industrial standards. Larger applications need also larger ontologies and therefore require substantially more performance and scalability. A systematic evaluation of the tools might lead to a consistent level of quality and thus acceptance by industry. For the future this might lead into certification efforts for such tools. *** TOPICS OF INTEREST *** Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Interoperability of tools (e.g. turnaround abilities) - Integration of tools into frameworks - Performance benchmarks - Scalability of tools - Certification of tools Tools include e.g.: - Annotation tools - Inference engines - Ontology editors and browsers - Ontology servers - Ontology mapping tools - Repositories - Retrieval tools - Semantic search engines *** PREVIOUS WORKSHOPS *** The first workshop on Evaluation of Ontology-based Tools (EON2002) was celebrated in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW2002), in September 30th, 2002.

KRDB-2003 will be held in Hamburg (Germany), September 2003, as a workshop of the 26th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI-2003), see http://www.ki2003.de/. KRDB is a forum for exchanging ideas between DB and KR researchers. Equally important is the KRDB tradition of stimulating the discussion between researchers and practitioners. As every year, KRDB 2003 focusses on a selected topic. ----------- Topic Databases have always been a very important issue for the World Wide Web, and, conversely, the WWW has stimulated interesting research on databases, for example in the area of semi-structured data. Due to the recent and immense interest in the semantic web initiative, knowledge representation has also gained a considerable amount of attention by the WWW community, and the pollinating impact of this fact on research in knowledge representation is already clearly visible. For these reasons, the focus of KRDB-2003 is on Knowledge Representation and Databases for the World-Wide Web. For the workshop, we thus solicit contributions that address the interplay between knowledge representation and databases, particularly in contexts related to the World-Wide Web. Specific issues we would like to discuss are: * Languages and techniques required to support a semantic web * Construction and maintenance of large ontologies for use in the WWW * Web service modeling and declarative web service retrieval * Context adaption, user models, and adaptive web systems * Query languages for the Web and semi-structured data * Data modeling and typing for XML and semi-structured data We also solicit submissions that concern the relationship of knowledge representation and databases, but do not fall inside this year's selected topic. ----------- Invited Speakers * An invited talk will be given by Diego Calvanese, University of Rome "La Sapienza". ----------- Program Committee * Alex Borgida (Rutgers University, New Jersey) * Stefan Conrad (University of Duesseldorf, Germany) * Enrico Franconi (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy) * Nicola Henze (University of Hannover, Germany) * Bertin Klein (DFKI, Kaiserslautern, Germany) * Ralf Kuesters (Stanford University, USA) * Gerhard Lakemeyer (RWTH Aachen, Germany) * Massimo Marchiori (University of Venice, Italy) * David Toman (University of Waterloo, Canada) * Gottfried Vossen (University of Muenster, Germany) ----------- Organizing Committee Francois Bry (University of Munich, Germany) Francois.Bry(a)informatik.uni-muenchen.de Carsten Lutz (TU Dresden, Germany) lutz(a)tcs.inf.tu-dresden.de Ulrike Sattler (TU Dresden, Germany) sattler(a)tcs.inf.tu-dresden.de Mareike Schoop (RWTH Aachen and University of Muenster, Germany) schoop(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de ----------- Important Dates (Updated!)

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Workshop on Semantic Integration at ISWC 2003 (2nd CFP) Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 13:03:52 -0700 From: Natasha Noy <noy(a)SMI.Stanford.EDU> To: si2003(a)SMI.Stanford.EDU ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize if you receive this message more than once. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Second Call For Papers Workshop on Semantic Integration at ISWC'2003 http://smi.stanford.edu/si2003 SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 21st, 2003 Monday, October 20, 2003 Sundial Resort, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA In numerous distributed environments, including today's World-Wide Web, organizational intranets, and the emerging Semantic Web, the applications will inevitably use the information described by multiple ontologies and schemas. Interoperability among applications depends critically on the ability to map between them. Today, matching between ontologies and schemas is still largely done by hand, in a labor-intensive and error-prone process. As a consequence, semantic integration issues have now become a key bottleneck in the deployment of a wide variety of information management applications. The high cost of this bottleneck has motivated numerous research activities on methods for describing mappings, manipulating them, and generating them semi-automatically. This research has spanned several communities (Databases, AI, WWW), but unfortunately, there has been little cross fertilization between the communities considering the problem. This workshop examines semantic integration issues, with an emphasis on schema and ontology matching, ontology integration, and object matching and fusion. It will bring together researchers from different communities to examine cutting-edge approaches to semantic integration, to consider how different communities can leverage each other's strengths, and to discuss additional challenges brought by new application contexts. Workshop Format ---------------------- Invited Talks Phil Bernstein, Microsoft Research Eduard Hovy, Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California Topics -------- Workshop topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - matching schemas and ontologies - languages to express semantic mappings - tools for user-driven mapping between ontologies and schemas - reasoning with semantic mappings - mapping negotiation, semantic negotiation - using semantic mappings for query answering, data transformation, and other applications - object matching and fusion - maintenance of semantic mappings - discovery and usage of approximate mappings - evaluation of matching techniques - merging schemas and ontologies - model management - specialized matching techniques for specific application contexts We plan to have both presentations of research papers and demonstrations of implemented systems. There will be a panel discussion as well as ample time for general discussion. Submission procedure --------------------------- We solicit three types of submissions: 1. Research papers (6 pages, at least 10pt) 2. Demo proposals to present demonstration of implemented semantic-integration systems at the workshop (2-5 pages) 3. Position statements (1-2 pages) Important dates -------------------- * Submission deadline for research papers: July 21, 2003 * Notification of paper acceptance: August 20, 2003 * Camera-ready copy due: September 20, 2003 * Position statements due: September 20, 2003 * Workshop: October 20, 2003 Submission instructions ---------------------------- Please send submissions in PDF or PostScript format to si2003(a)smi.stanford.edu Organizing committee -------------------------- AnHai Doan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Alon Halevy, University of Washington Natasha Noy, Stanford University Program committee ----------------------- Kevin Chang (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA) Isabel Cruz (University of Illinois at Chicago) Dave Embley (Brigham Young University) Venkatesh Ganti (University of Wisconsin-Madison) Michael Gruninger (University of Maryland College Park and NIST) Yannis Kalfoglou (University of Southampton) Vipul Kashyap (National Library of Medicine) Michel Klein (Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam) Craig Knoblock (Information Sciences Institute, University of Southern California) Jayant Madhavan (University of Washington) Alexander Maedche (FZI) Prasenjit Mitra (Stanford University) Ami Motro (George Mason University) Lucian Popa (IBM) Erhard Rahm (UniversitДt Leipzig) Marco Schorlemmer (University of Edinburgh) Len Seligman (MITRE) Amit Sheth (University of Georgia) Mike Uschold (Boeing) ------------------------------------------------------- -- Univ.Prof. Dr.Gustaf Neumann Abteilung für Wirtschaftsinformatik WU-Wien, Augasse 2-6, 1090 Wien

It is beneficial in a wide range of content-oriented intelligent applications. One important application, for instance, is the Semantic Web. Here, knowledge markup is a major challenge, i.e. the problem is the providing of knowledge structures for existing syntactic or multimedia resources. The workshops intend to bring together researchers and practitioners from such communities as W3C, MPEG-7, AI, Natural Language technologies and KR to discuss various aspects of knowledge markup and semantic annotation. Submission Papers: Practitioners and researchers interested in participating should submit either a full paper (less than 6000 words) or a position paper (less than 1500 words) addressing relevant issues. Submit before July 21, 2003 in electronic form (pdf) to: handschuh(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de. Topics of Interest includes, but are not limited to: * authoring/annotation tools * web page annotation * collaborative, shared annotation * knowledge markup in the Semantic Web * ontology-based markup * using semantic annotations to define knowledge tools for supporting knowledge markup * integrated software architecture based on semantic annotation * multimedia annotation (e.g. by using MPEG-7) * image/picture annotation * linguistic aspects of semantic annotation * capturing knowledge through Information Extraction and NLP * text mining for creating knowledge markup * evaluation of manual annotation * Usage of Annotations, e.g. learning resource metadata Although not required for the initial submission, we recommend to follow the format guidlines of K-Cap 2001 <http://sern.ucalgary.ca/ksi/K-CAP/K-CAP2001/CFP.html#submission-guidelines>, as this will be the required format for accepted papers.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: UML '03 First Workshop on Software Stability & Stable Analysis Patterns Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2003 23:16:14 -0500 (CDT) From: Mohamed Fayad <fayad(a)cse.unl.edu> To: Undisclosed recipients: ; Sorry for multiple copies.... _____________________________________________________________________ UML '03 First Workshop on Stable Analysis Patterns: A True Problem Understanding with UML Call for Papers UML '03 Full day workshop UML 2003 Sixth International Conference on UML - Modeling Languages and Applications October 20-24, 2003, San Francisco, USA http://www.umlconference.org/ (UML. 03 Link) http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/~fayad/workshops/UML03 http://www.activeframeworks.com/publications.html#workshops _____________________________________________________________________ There are two issues will be debated in this workshop: Software Stability Model and Stable Analysis Patterns: a True Problem Understanding with UML. Software stability concepts, introduced by me with the aid of UML, have demonstrated great promise in the area of software reuse and lifecycle improvement. Software stability models apply the concepts of .Enduring Business Themes. (EBTs) and .Business Objects. (BOs). These concepts have been shown to produce models that are both stable over time, and stable across various paradigm shifts within a domain or application context. By applying stability model concepts with UML to the notion of analysis patterns we propose the concept of Stable Analysis Patterns. The idea behind the stable analysis patterns is to analyze the problem under consideration in terms of its EBTs and the BOs with the goal of increased stability and broader reuse. By analyzing the problem in terms of its EBTs and the BOs, the resultant pattern models the core knowledge of the problem. The goal of this concept is stability. Software analysis patterns play a major role in reducing the cost and condensing the time of software project lifecycles. However, building reusable and stable analysis patterns is still a challenge. This workshop examines the novel concept of Stable Analysis Patterns as a new approach for building stable and reusable analysis patterns with UML. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION People interested in participating to the workshop are requested to submit a short position paper (3-5 pages) or regular workshop papers (limited to 10 pages, double space, including figures) representing views and experience relevant to the discussed topic. The title page should include a maximum 200-word abstract, five keywords, full mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, fax number, and a designated contact author. Papers will be selected depending on the originality, quality and relevance for the workshop. Interesting papers will be selected by the organizers and their authors will have the possibility to give a 20 minute presentation of them at the workshop. To foster lively discussions, each author is encouraged to present open questions and one or two main statements that shall be discussed at the workshop. Submissions must be either MS-Word or RTF formats (please, DO NOT compress files). In alternative, initial submission can by done by emailing a URL pointing to an HTML version of the paper. Depending on the number and spread of contributions, the scope may be narrowed to ensure effective communication and information sharing. Accepted position papers will be published in the workshop proceedings to be distributed to the participants before the workshop, and made generally available through WWW and FTP. A workshop report will be published in the addendum proceedings of the conference. Please note that workshop participants must register at least on that day at UML conference. Early registration discount is available. We will have an overhead projector, computer projector, and a flipchart available.

Required technologies are speech recognition, text mining, video and image analysis, information retrieval, and summarization. Addressing the above issues requires an awareness of the research achievements in various research and cross-disciplinary research efforts. Particular topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to: * Theoretical framework for multimedia data mining; * Complexity, and scalability of multimedia mining algorithms; * Classification of multimedia documents; * Clustering and proximity of multimedia documents; * Detection of novel or interesting documents; * Multimedia data mining methods and algorithms; * Preprocessing and representation of multimedia data; * Multimedia data representation and formats; * Event or Topic detection in multimedia data; * Selection of novel or interesting documents; * Learning using different data sources and modalities; * Extraction and representation of semantic relations for multimedia; * Working multimedia mining systems. Submission Guidelines: ====================== Submissions should be sent by June 13, 2003, in electronic form as a PDF or PostScript file to Gerhard.Paass(a)ais.fraunhofer.de <mailto:Gerhard.Paass@ais.fraunhofer.de>, Subject: MultimediaMining-2003 workshop submission paper. The papers should be formatted as for the main ECML/PKDD-2003 conference submissions. This is according to the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence guidelines. Authors instructions and style files can be downloaded at <http:/www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>. The maximum length of papers is 12 pages. Submitted papers will be reviewed by referees from the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the working notes provided by ECML/PKDD-2003 and possibly the selected papers will be published as a Springer series book. The authors will be notified about the acceptance or rejection of their papers by July 4, 2003. Camera-ready versions of the papers are due July 11, 2003. Attendance: =========== Attendance is not limited to the paper authors. We strongly encourage interested researchers from related areas to attend the workshop. The intended audience for the workshop involves researchers and practitioners interested in mining different type of multimedia data. Firstly, we would like to attract potential users working in the media industry (e.g. broadcasters), which can clarify user demands on multimedia mining. Then we aim for experts on the technical background and standards (e.g. MPEG7) of multimedia. Finally data mining and machine learning researchers interested in audio, image, text and multimedia mining are expected to contribute to the workshop.
