All submissions will be fully reviewed by specialized workshop PCs. Accepted workshop-papers will be presented in special tracks of the NODe main conference and will be published in the official conference proceedings and on CD. Outstanding workshop papers will be included in an extra best of proceedings that will be published with a major publishing company. ********* Tutorials ********* The conference will offer a full day of tutorials from renowned experts in the fields. Tutorials will take place on the special tutorial day (Monday, Sep. 22). ************************* Young Researcher Workshop ************************* NODe will continue to offer young researchers a forum to present to and discuss their ideas with a highly interested audience and well-known experts. *********** Proceedings *********** All papers will be published in the conference proceedings which will be published by a well-known publishing company (probably by Springer in LNCS) and on a conference CD. ***************************************** Conference History and Guiding Principles ***************************************** Ever-evolving and increasingly powerful information and communication technologies have substantially changed the nature of global relationships, sources of competitive advantage and opportunities for economic and social development. The Internet, portable computers/devices and wireless communication technologies have turned the globe into an interconnected network of individuals, firms, organizations, and governments communicating and interacting with each other through a variety of channels. Net.ObjectDays (NODe) is one of the main international conferences that focus on object-oriented and internet-based technologies, concepts, services, and applications. It is the integrative successor of the well known JavaDays, STJA, and JIT conferences and is organized in this format for the fourth time. It puts strong emphasis on the active exchange of concepts and technologies between academia and industry. Continuing in this tradition, this year's NODe will offer the opportunity to meet and work with leaders from research and industry. NODe 2003 especially focuses on topics such as object-oriented (distributed) technologies, concepts and systems, component-based approaches and software product lines, agent-related technologies, knowledge management for the Internet, advanced database systems and the Web, quality, security, and reliability issues for all kinds of E-Business, specifically for E-Government and B2B E-Commerce, including both the engineering and use of web-based applications. As systems ought to be engineered well to be able to cope with the influx of the above-mentioned technologies in a positive way, the integrative factor of software architectures and component-driven technologies (especially their demands with regards to structures (patterns and architectures) and processes (enhanced life-cycles and workflows)) form additional focuses of NODe 2003. However, as in the years before, NODe will be open to questions and aspects of object-oriented and Internet-based technology in general and invites submissions related to a wide variety of topics in these areas. ----------------- Program Co-Chairs Dieter Rombach Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering and University of Kaiserslautern, Dept. of Computer Science Sauerwiesen 6 D-67661 Kaiserslautern Phone: +49 (0) 6301 707 100 Fax: +49 (0) 6301 707 200 rombach(a)iese.fhg.de Martin Verlage Market Maker Software AG Karl-Marx-Str. 13 67655 Kaiserslautern Phone: +49 (0) 631 36 49-0 Fax: +49 (0) 631 36 49-109 m.verlage(a)market-maker.de -------------------- Organizing Committee K.

Fwd: CFP - VIKE 2003 extended deadline
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP - VIKE 2003 extended deadline Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2003 17:38:01 -0700 From: "Neil Ernst" <nernst(a)uvic.ca> To: <nernst(a)uvic.ca> [Apologies for cross-postings] ****************** DEADLINE EXTENDED ************************* ***************** FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ********************** 1st Workshop on Visualizing Information in Knowledge Engineering (VIKE 03) at the 2nd International Conference on Knowledge Capture (KCAP) 25-26 October 2003, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA Workshop URL: http://www.cs.uvic.ca/~nernst/vike/ Dates * Deadline for paper submissions: 0700 UTC July 31st, 2003 (extended) * Notification of acceptance: August 29th, 2003 * Camera ready deadline: September 16th, 2003 * Workshop: October 25-26th, 2003 Objectives The goal of this workshop is to explore cognitive issues in knowledge engineering processes and tools, and to examine where techniques from the field of information visualization might help with these issues. Knowledge engineering is often a complex area for end-user and engineer alike. We anticipate the workshop will be of interest to several groups: * professionals interested in improving knowledge capture technology, particularly in the areas of tool adoption and usability; * developers of information visualization solutions to knowledge engineering domains; * people with interests in the area of cognitive support for complex tasks. For example, a researcher who has created a knowledge sketching tool will be interested to discover how this tool may be combined with information visualization techniques in order to improve the usability and utility of the tool for the end-user. Knowledge engineering is seeing more and more interest from communities outside AI, computer science, and logic, particularly due to emerging Semantic Web technologies. To better support the various processes involved in knowledge engineering, techniques from the field of information visualization can be very helpful. Information visualization techniques provide a means to make discoveries, make decisions, and provide explanations about data, in a way which leverages innate human spatial reasoning abilities. For example, humans can interpret information represented as complex pictures much more easily than they can lines of text. The workshop will be concerned with, but not necessarily limited to, the following topics: * Visual support for knowledge engineering processes * Visual query creation * Knowledge discovery through interactive exploration * Information Visualization and the Semantic Web * Scalability of visual representations of complex data Format This will be a full-day workshop that combines interactivity with formal presentations. We will begin with introductory remarks (and possibly a yet to be determined keynote speaker or tutorial), followed by presentations by accepted speakers. These talks will be organized into distinct themes based on submissions. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion after each presentation and at breaks. Workshop Committee Margaret-Anne Storey, Assistant Professor, U. Victoria, Canada Dr. Storey's main research interests involve understanding how people solve complex tasks, and designing technologies to facilitate navigating and understanding large information spaces. With her students, she is working on a variety of projects within the areas of software engineering, human-computer interaction, information visualization, social informatics and knowledge management. Dr. Storey is part of the program committee for Infovis 2003 and Softvis 2003, as well as general chair of VisSoft 2003. Vladimir Geroimenko, Senior Lecturer, U. Plymouth, England Dr. Geroimenko's main research interests concern knowledge representation and the Semantic Web; in particular, he is interested in how information visualization might aid in delivering and designing intelligent systems. Some other interests include visual interaction with semantic web ontologies and interactive multimedia interfaces for XML applications. He is the also the organizer for the Third International Symposium on Visualisation of the Semantic Web, at the IEEE International Conference on Information Visualisation - IV2003, in London, July 2003. Timothy Lethbridge, Associate Professor, U. Ottawa, Canada Dr. Lethbridge is interested in knowledge-based reverse engineering, user interface design, and knowledge engineering, particularly user interfaces to allow the browsing of knowledge bases. He developed the CODE4 knowledge management system and is the pedagogy co-chair of IEEE/ACM Computing Curriculum / Software Engineering (CCSE), the international effort to standardize software engineering curricula. Heiner Stuckenschmidt, Post-doctoral Researcher, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam Dr. Stuckenschmidt works in the Knowledge Representation and Reasoning group at the VU, and is interested in ontologies and the Semantic web, including approximate terminological reasoning, ontologies and distributed systems, and knowledge management. He is organizer of the IJCAI-03 Workshop on Ontologies and Distributed Systems and on the program committee for the Semantic Web Track at WWW'03. His group developed the Spectacle knowledge visualization tool. Jennifer Golbeck, Ph.D. Candidate, Research Assistant, U. Maryland, U.S.A. Ms. Golbeck is interested in complex systems and intelligent agents. She is currently studying the graph properties of complex systems models, particularly social networks, and their applications on the semantic web.
