Like its older sibling - The International Planning Competition - the aim of ICKEP is to promote research in the area of planning, in particular to promote the knowledge-based aspects of planning by putting together a competitive environment where various knowledge-based tools can be compared. As ICKEP is a new type of the competition, there are still many options in how to organise such an event, what problems should be addressed, what tools should be eligible, and how to evaluate and compare them. For 2005, we are proposing three competition tracks: - open track, where any knowledge engineering tool aimed at supporting AI planning applications, can enter, - debugging track, where tools identifying bugs and inconsistencies in planning domain models are compared, - heuristic track, where tools learning heuristics for planners from the planning domain model can participate. More information about ICKEP can be found at competition's web page at: http://scom.hud.ac.uk/scomtlm/competition/ If you would like to participate in such a competition, to comment on or propose a new specific track, testbeds, evaluation criteria, or to contribute in any other way, we would like to hear from you.

World-class competitiveness of European enterprises, including SMEs, strongly will depend, in the future, on their ability to concretise massively and rapidly on networked dynamic organisations. New Technologies and Methodologies for Interoperability, within and between enterprises, have to emerge to radically solve the recurrent difficulties - largely due to the lack of conceptual approaches - encountered to structure and interlink enterprises' systems (information, decision, action, production). Today, research on interoperability of enterprise applications does not exist as a defined discipline. INTEROP, that has been launched as a result of IST Thematic Network IDEAS, the roadmap for interoperability research, emphasises the need for integrating three key thematic areas: * Ontology to identify interoperability semantics in enterprises * Enterprise Modelling to define interoperability requirements and models * Architectures and Enabling technologies to provide implementation frameworks Within this frame, we wish to call papers for a Workshop co-located with CaiSE'04. It will have a double nature: firstly, it will be an open event where on going research on the above areas, with a special focus on modelling for interoperability, will be presented and confronted; secondly, it will reserve a space for the presentation of activities carried out within the INTEROP NoE, and in particular for the research areas of Enterprise Modelling and Ontologies Main topics ----------------- The topics of the workshop will be mainly those coming from the promoting Workpackages of INTEROP Network of Excellence, that is: WP 1: Knowledge map for Enterprise Modeling, Ontology, Architecture and Platform for interoperability WP 5: Common Enterprise Modelling Framework-UEML V2.0 WP 8: Ontology-based integration of Enterprise Modelling and Architecture & Platforms Furthermore, we wish to emphasise that this is an Open Workshop, therefore we wish to invite contributions addressing the main theme of the CAiSE conference, in the light and with the specificity of the workshop: Enterprise Modeling and Ontologies foe Interoperability. In particular we invite papers that address (but not exclusively) the following topics: * Requirements Engineering for ontologies * Methodologies, Models, and Tools for ontology building * Enterprise Modelling Methods and Tools, in light of achieving interoperability * Interoperable Inter-enterprise Workflow Systems * Knowledge Management, Metadata and Ontologies * Ontology-based semantic annotation * Enterprise Application Analysis and semantic divergence detection * Languages and Protocols for ontology-based interoperability * Semantic Web and its impact to interoperability Organization ------------------ The workshop will last two days, with the aim of allowing a wide and open debate on new, emerging ideas to take place in the cross-fertilizing area of ontology and enterprise modelling. The workshop will be organised in four sections, suitably balanced, with different aims: * Tutorial session: that will consist of two presentations focused on Ontologies and Enterprise Modelling * Full papers session * Poster session * Panel session ----------------------- Important dates ----------------------- Submission ----------------- * Full papers, with a maximum length of 12 pages, before March 10th 2004 * Poster presentation, 4 pages length, before April 18th 2004. Poster papers will be submitted in final form. If accepted, they will be published as submitted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers should be sent to: interop-wsp(a)iasi.cnr.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notification of acceptance: ------------------------------------- * Full papers: April 8th 2004 * Poster presentations: May 2nd 2004, accepted poster presentations will be published as submitted (no second round is foreseen) Camera ready --------------------- * Full Papers: May 2nd 2004 Note: All papers should be edited in Springer Verlag Format ------------------ Organization ------------------- Scientific Committee: ------------------------------ Giuseppe Berio (University of Torino, Italy) Christoph Bussler (DERI, Ireland) Asunción Gómez-Pérez (University of Madrid, Spain) Michele Missikoff (LEKS, IASI-CNR, Italy) Michael Petit (University of Namur, Belgium) Yves Pigneur (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) Reviewers Committee: -------------------------------- Will be announced soon The EMOI Workshop is promoted by INTEROP - Interoperability Research for Networked Enterprises Applications and Software, and in particular by: WP1: Knowledge map for EM, Ontology, Architecture and Platform for interoperability WP5: Common Enterprise Modelling Framework-UEML V2.0 WP8: Ontology-based integration of Enterprise Modelling and Architecture & Platforms In cooperation with WP11: Dissemination and Communication ----------------------------------------------------------- Michele Missikoff (Coordinator) LEKS - Lab for Enterprise Knowledge and Systems IASI - CNR, Viale Manzoni 30, 00185 Rome (Italy) ph. +3906-7716422; fax: +3906-7716461; cel: +39335-8443646 ------------------------------------------------------- -- Univ.Prof. Dr.Gustaf Neumann Abteilung für Wirtschaftsinformatik WU-Wien, Augasse 2-6, 1090 Wien

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: First International Workshop on Sustainable Pervasive Computing- SPC'04 Date: Thursday 22 January 2004 14:31 From: "KOUADRI MOSTEFAOUI Soraya" <soraya.kouadrimostefaoui(a)unifr.ch> To: <www-rdf-interest(a)w3.org>, <A.Slingerland(a)ewi.tudelft.nl>, <Lotos-World(a)site.uottawa.ca>, <www-ws(a)w3.org> Call for Papers First International Workshop on Sustainable Pervasive Computing- SPC'04 a one day workshop in conjunction with PERVASIVE 2004 Second International Conference on Pervasive Computing 2004 21-23 April, University of Linz/Vienna, Austria SPC'04: http://diuf.unifr.ch/pai/events/spc2004/ www.pervasive2004.org/ SCOPE The technology of pervasive computing is now ready for a large-scale everyday use. Such a widespreading may have a strong impact on society and environment, by the way equipments and technical infrastructures for everyday life will be designed, and by the way the social and environmental issues of technology will be managed. Despite the promising facilities it will bring on, pervasive computing has indeed some darks sides, which must be early taken into account if we want to achieve a sustainable development. The goal of the workshop is then to bring together interdisciplinary contributors for enabling to set up the foundations of a sustainable pervasive computing. People from any discipline concerned by pervasive computing deployement (e.g. from computer science, business, urbanism, architecture, mobility, health care and medicine, energy, waste management, social science, ethics, technology assessment, law, etc), and interested in sharing their works, experiences, or ideas for reaching this goal are welcome to the workshop. TOPICS Two aspects will be considered : 1. Analysis and evaluation of the implications of pervasive computing for the society and the environment; This aspect may involve points of view on pervasive computing coming from humanities and technology assessment, together with computer science and concerned application fields for including topics like the following (non limited list): * social opportunities and risks: privacy, security, cultural aspects, digital divide, rebound effects; * health opportunities and risks: physiological impacts, cognitive impacts, rebound effects; * environmental opportunities and risks: e-waste, energy demand, rebound effects. 2. Design and applications for a sustainable pervasive computing. This aspect may be handled through contributions coming from the various engineering fields concerned by the applicative issues of pervasive computing (including computer science) for addressing topics like the following (non limited list): * e-business: supply chain management, transport efficiency, privacy; * mobility: traffic management, security, energy efficiency; * smart building: architecture, energy efficiency; * urbanism: urban planning, public infrastructure; * health care: personal health monitoring, hospital management, surgery applications.
