It has been posted to a large number of email-lists. KR2004 CALL FOR PAPERS Ninth International Conference on the Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning June 2 - 5, 2004 Whistler, Canada Submission Deadline: November 26, 2003 Sponsored by KR Inc, IBM, SFU and UTS Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) is a vibrant and exciting field of human endeavor. KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in computer science, and they have led to significant advances in practical applications in a wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering. Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated by reasoning engines are an integral and crucial component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web technologies and the design of software agents, in particular, provide significant challenges for KR&R. We intend KR2004 to be a forum for the exchange of news, issues, and results among the community of researchers in the principles and practices of KR&R systems. We encourage papers presenting substantial new results in the principles of KR&R systems that clearly contribute to the formal foundations or show the applicability of the results to implemented and implementable systems. We also encourage "reports from the field'' of applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Such papers should be explicitly identified as reports from the field by the authors, to ensure appropriate reviewing, and must include a section on evaluation. KR2004 will collocate with the International Conference on Advanced Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS-2004), with one day in common. We strongly encourage papers which would be of interest to both communities. Topics of interest include: o Exception Tolerant and Inconsistency-Tolerant Reasoning, Default Logics, Conditional Logics, Paraconsistent Logics, Argumentation o Temporal Reasoning, Spatial reasoning, Causal Reasoning, Abduction, Explanations, Extrapolation, Model-based diagnosis o Reasoning about Actions, Situation Calculus, Action Languages, Dynamic Logic o Reasoning, Planning, or Decision Making under Uncertainty, Probabilistic and Possibilistic approaches, Belief Functions and Imprecise Probabilities o Representations of Vagueness, Many-valued and Fuzzy Logics, o Concept Formation, Similarity-based reasoning o Information Change, Belief Revision, Update o Information Fusion, Ontologies, Ontology Methodology o Qualitative reasoning and decision theory, Preference modeling, Reasoning about preference, reasoning about physical systems o Intelligent agents, negotiation, group decision making, cooperation, interaction, game theory, common knowledge, cognitive robotics o Algebraic foundations of knowledge representations, graphical representations o Modal logics and reasoning, belief, preference networks, constraints o Knowledge representation languages, Description logics, Logic programming, constraint logic programming, inductive logic programming, complexity analysis o Natural language processing, learning, discovering and acquiring knowledge, belief networks, summarization, categorization o Applications of KR&R, Knowledge-based Scheduling, WWW querying languages, Information retrieval and web mining, Website selection and configuration, Electronic commerce and auctions o Philosophical foundations and psychological evidence Important Dates Electronic Submission Deadline: November 26, 2003 Notification of acceptance: January 14, 2004 Camera-ready papers due: March 3, 2004 KR2004 Conference: June 2 -5, 2004 Paper Submission The Program Committee will review extended abstracts rather than complete papers. Submissions must be at most twelve (12) pages, excluding the bibliography, with a maximum of 38 lines per page and an average of 75 characters per line (corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12pt). If you have a separate title page containing at most the title, author information, keywords and abstract, this will not be counted in the twelve page limit. Over length submissions will be rejected without review. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to submit substantially longer full papers for the conference proceedings. Authors must submit an online title page and an electronic version of their paper in pdf format only. The electronic process will be made available on the KR2004 website closer to the submission date. Papers not in pdf format will be rejected without review.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Deadline Extension: EON2003 at ISWC2003 Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2003 15:15:55 +0200 From: "York Sure" <sure(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> To: www-rdf-interest(a)w3.org --------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize if you receive this message more than once. --------------------------------------------------------------- ***** DEADLINE EXTENSION: JULY, 28th ***** 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. EON2002: http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/eon2002 *** SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS *** We invite three types of submissions for this workshop: - Technical papers (10 pages) in any of the topics of interest of the workshop (but not limited to them) - Short position papers (2 pages) in any of the topics of interest of the workshop (but not limited to them) - Experiment papers (10 pages) describing the results of the experiment proposed.

by Bernd Simon 15 Jul '03

15 Jul '03

====================================================== Call for papers 2004 ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING (SAC 2004) Track on Engineering e-Learning Systems (ELS) Nicosia, Cyprus, March 14 - 17, 2004 ====================================================== ACM SAC 2004 ------------ For the past eighteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2004 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, and is hosted by the University of Cyprus in Nicosia, Cyprus. Its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigapp/. Please visit the SAC 2004 home page (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2004/) for further information. Special Track on Engineering e-Learning Systems (ELS) ----------------------------------------------------- The aim of the track is to bring together researchers and practitioners that work on systematic, disciplined, standardized ways for engineering e-Learning Systems. Rationale: e-Learning Systems are exponentially increasing and applied in virtually all aspects of Information Society. However, the engineering process of such systems is not an easy task, since they are complex systems that incorporate a variety of organizational, administrative, instructional and technological components. Therefore systematic, disciplined approaches must be devised in order to leverage the complexity and assortment of e-Learning Systems and achieve overall product quality within specific time and budget limits. It is an area that gathers specialists from many disciplines like: Software Engineering, Hypermedia and Web Engineering, Learning Technology Systems, HCI etc. Engineering of e-Learning Systems is considered today one of the 'hottest' subjects of Applied Computing. Topics of the track include but are not limited to: * Architectures for Open e-Learning Systems * Analysis, Design or Architectural Patterns for e-Learning Systems * Implementations of Learning Technology Standards (e.g. IEEE LTSC, ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36, CEN/ISSS Learning Technologies Workshop, IMS Project etc.) * Interoperability of e-Learning Systems * Evaluation of e-Learning Systems * Collaborative e-Learning Systems * Usability issues of e-Learning Systems * Design Methods, Methodologies and Processes for e-Learning Systems * Adaptive e-Learning Systems Please visit the following URL for further information on the track: http://www.softlab.ntua.gr/~pavger/sacels2004.htm Track Program Chairs: ---------------------- Symeon Retalis University of Piraeus, Department of Technology Education and Digital Systems 80 Karaoli & Dimitriou str., 185 34 Piraeus, Greece Tel: +30210 4142168 E-mail: retal(a)softlab.ntua.gr Paris Avgeriou University of Cyprus, Department of Computer Science P.O.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS: Semantic Web Services - 2004 AAAI Spring Symposium Series Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 11:58:15 +0100 From: "Terry R. Payne" <trp(a)ecs.soton.ac.uk> To: "Terry R. Payne" <trp(a)ecs.soton.ac.uk> [Apologies for cross-posting] --- Semantic Web Services --- 2004 AAAI Spring Symposium Series Stanford University, CA http://www.daml.ecs.soton.ac.uk/SSS-SWS04.html Services, i.e. network pervasive programs or devices, facilitate interoperation by exposing their interfaces to each other. Such service-oriented research includes: * Web Services - standardized enterprise components offered across the Web; * Grid Services - scientific/computing resources that facilitate large-scale e-science research; * Multi-Agent Systems - heterogeneous agents that cooperate or compete to solve distributed AI problems. Whilst services deliver dynamic, personalised, and relevant applications though discovery, invocation and composition, a key remaining challenge is to support automated interoperability without necessitating human intervention. The inclusion and use of Semantic Web annotations promise to make Web-based information and services both accessible and understandable to agents and other applications. Emerging ontologies (e.g. DAML-S) are being used to construct semantically rich service descriptions. Techniques for planning, composing, editing, reasoning and analysing about these descriptions are being investigated, and deployed to resolve semantic interoperability between services within scalable, open environments. Key research challenges in the area of Web services, Grid services and Multi-Agent computing include the construction of ontologies for service description, ontologies of service types (i.e. describing classes of services), etc, as well as techniques that support the manipulation of service descriptions to automate service discovery, translation, composition, etc. This proposed symposium aims to bring together researchers addressing many of these issues, and promote and foster a greater understanding of how the Semantic Web can assist Grid, Web Services and Multi Agent System research. Topics of Interest include: =========================== Ontologies that support service descriptions Ontologies for service classification Semantic interoperability and integration Quality of service and service level agreement management Semantic Web security policies, management and frameworks Semantic description, discovery, and selection of services Scaleable service composition for heterogeneous environments Knowledge Representation for Semantic Web Services DAML-S services Semantics in Agent Communication Languages Semantics for service delegation and knowledge aggregation Architectures for supporting Semantic Web Services Service enactment/invocation frameworks Service Negotiation Rules within Semantic Web Services Submission Information ====================== Those interested in participating should send either 1-3 page extended abstract, or an 8-page paper to Terry Payne (trp(a)ecs.soton.ac.uk) by the submission deadline. Electronic submissions (Postscript or PDF) in AAAI format preferred Dates ===== Abstracts Due: October 3, 2003 Acceptance Notices: November 7, 2003 Camera Ready: January 20, 2004 Registration: February 27, 2004 Symposium: March 22-24, 2004 Committee ========= Terry Payne (Chair) Keith Decker Ora Lassila Sheila McIlraith Katia Sycara _______________________________________________________________________ Terry R.

Furthermore, due to the > high acceptance rate of such devices by the user community, it is expected > that these devices will become so pervasive that most users will take them > for granted. Generally known as Ubiquitous Computing (UC), the vision of > UC is to push computational services out of conventional desktop > interfaces into environments characterized by transparent forms of > interactivity. > > Despite the growing interest in UC, there is still some progress to be > made before UC shifts from the research mode to the commercial and > intensive use modes. The support technologies, however, are improving at > an impressive pace. Most of the research and development activities are > currently aimed at improving the devices themselves and the technologies > these devices will use to communicate. At present, the main use of mobile > devices is still voice-oriented, but several indicators show that this is > changing. 3G networks (e.g., GPRS, UMTS) and recent development of > communication and presentation protocols (e.g., XML, WAP) are being > combined to give users a high-quality experience of data-centric services. > > > Besides the central role that hardware infrastructure plays in the > expansion and penetration of UC, other issues still need to be tackled to > better assist developers of UC applications. Developers are put on the > front line of satisfying the promise of businesses and service providers > for delivering Internet content to mobile devices. Indeed, the fact that > an application for mobile users has different requirements, calls for new > techniques to identify and specify these requirements. With regard to > users, it is expected that they will be frequently engaged in complex > operations such as searching the net for better business opportunities. > Therefore, their association with intelligent components, to act as > proxies, is deemed appropriate. UC environments of the near future will be > populated by a large number of computing devices, spread across the > network, and often invisible. These devices need to be coordinated for > better interactions. Devices, whether carried on by people or embedded > into other systems (within the home or at other sites), will constitute a > global networking infrastructure -- and likely to provide a new level of > openness and dynamics. These interactions raise many new issues that draw > upon existing research areas, as well as introduce new research and > development challenges, in technical areas (such as device design, > wireless communication, location sensing, etc), psychology (privacy > concerns, attention focus, multi-person interaction, etc), and design > (direct interaction, work patterns, etc). > > Existing global efforts in Grid Computing also shares some similarities > with the aims of this workshop, although Grid computing at present is > restricted to high-end computational resources. Making the Grid more open, > and accessible to a wider range of users will also require the need to > address similar challenges. > > > Topics of interest > > In this workshop, we aim to identify ecent and significant developments in > the general area of ubiquitous computing. Topics of interests include, but > are not limited to: > - Mobile computing vs. Pervasive computing vs. Ubiquitous computing. > - Design methodologies and evaluation techniques. > - New interfaces and modes of interactions between people and ubiquitous > computing devices, applications or environments. > - Grid Computing technologies for Wireless networks > - Context awareness. > - Agent-based ubiquitous applications. > - Services for ubiquitous applications. > - Middleware for service discovery. > - Integration of wired and wireless networks. > - Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11, etc. > - Security and privacy issues. > - Visionary future scenarios. > - Mobile services > - Performance tuning of mobile applications > > > Submission of Papers > > There will be two types of papers: long (approx. 4000 words) and short > (approx. 2000 words).
