For more information, visit http://www.lero.ie/ICGSE2009 Organisers Ita Richardson, Lero, University of Limerick, Ireland Ivan Mistrík, Independent Consultant, Heidelberg, Germany Miriam O�Riordan, Lero, University of Limerick, Ireland CALL FOR PAPERS Description Knowledge engineering is an evolutionary process of engineering artefacts and using them to gain new understandings. These new understandings are then used to further engineer or modify artefacts and the process continues. Knowledge engineering in global software development is being increasingly researched by the software and the knowledge management communities. To implement a good knowledge management strategy in a global software engineering environment, organisations have to overcome issues which have been identified in many previous studies. These issues make global software distribution a difficult and complex task. Hosting a workshop on this topic at the International Conference on Global Software Engineering will bring together researchers from both these communities in a forum where they can discuss and explore their current research and give them an opportunity to discuss similarities between both communities� research. Topics should have a global software development focus and include, but are not limited to: - knowledge management within software engineering from a business perspective - collaboration and knowledge sharing - knowledge discovery services and tools - workflows and decision making including experiences with Wiki support - methods and tools for managing knowledge - architectural knowledge management practices - skills management and transfer of knowledge - traceability, accountability and risks - knowledge management in global software product line engineering. - automated extraction, collection, and abstraction of knowledge from software archives - applications of ontologies - empirical analysis of globally distributed development project performance - knowledge management issues in agile and iterative approaches - portals and services for knowledge management on the semantic web - software process simulation of emergent issues Target Audience - software engineers - computer scientists at the intersection of SE/CSCW/KM/HCI - computer science graduates - requirements engineers - business process engineers - software project managers - graduate students in SE Paper submission Papers must be submitted electronically by email to Ita Richardson: ita.richardson(a)ul.ie and Ivan Mistrík: i.j.mistrik(a)t-online.de Your paper must conform to the IEEE proceedings publication format (8.5"x11", Two-Column Format) described at IEEE/CPS You paper should not be longer than 6 pages including all text, references, appendices, and figures Your submissions should be in PDF format Submissions that exceed the page limit (6 pp.) or do not comply with the proceedings format will be desk rejected without review The results described must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere Important dates 15 April 2009 - Deadline for paper submission to the workshop organisers 1 May 2009 - Decision of acceptance to paper authors 5 May 2009 - Final version of accepted papers due, in accordance with IEEE standards 5 May 2009 - Deadline for early registration 13 July 2009 - Workshop Programme committee Ban Al-Ani, University of California, Irvine, USA Paris Avgeriou, University of Groningen, The Netherlands Len Bass, Software Engineering Institute, USA Jan Bosch, Intuit Inc, USA Daniela Damian, University of Victoria, Canada Kevin Desouza, University of Washington, USA Prasun Dewan, University of North Carolina, USA Hans-Joerg Happel, FZI Research Center for Information Technologies, Germany Patricia Lago, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands Filippo Lanubile, University of Bari, Italy Anita Sarma, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Walt Scacchi, University of California, Irvine,USA Margaret-Anne Storey, University of Victoria, Canada Timo Varkoi, Tampere University of Technology,Finland Thomas Zimmermann, Microsoft Research, USA Related Workshops This is the first workshop in the field of Knowledge Engineering in Global Software Development. - Infrastructure for Research in Collaborative Software Engineering (IReCoSE) at FSE 2008 http://home.segal.uvic.ca/~IRCoSE-2008/ - Sharing Architectural Knowledge (SHARK) at ICSE 2008 http://www.cs.rug.nl/~paris/SHARK2008/ - Supporting Distributed Team Work at CSCW 2008 http://conway.isri.cmu.edu/~jdh/VRC-2008/ - Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE) at ICSE 2008 http://softwareresearch.ca/seg/CHASE/ - Socio-Technical Congruence (STC) at ICSE 2008 http://conway.isri.cmu.edu/~mcataldo/STC-2008.html - End-User Software Engineering (WEUSE) at ICSE 2008 http://eusesconsortiom.org/weuse/ - Distributed Software Development � Methods and Tools for Risk Management at ICGSE 2008 http://www.outshore.de/ICGSE/ICGSE08/tabid/57/Default.aspx - Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining (DDDM) at KDD 2007 http://datamining.it.uts.edu.au/dddm/ - Making Globally Distributed Software Development a Success Story at ICSP 2008 (co-located with ICSE 2008) http://www.icsp-conferences.org/icsp2008/index.html - Studying Work Practices in GSE at ICGSE 2008 http://www.idc.ul.ie/gsd/ICGSE08Workshop/Workshop.html - Tool-Supported Development and Management in Distributed Projects (REMIDI) at ICGSE 2008 http://www4.in.tum.de/~kuhrmann/remidi08.shtml - Global Requirements Engineering (GREW) at ICGSE 2007 http://www.bth.se/grew07 - Measurement-based Cockpits for Distributed Software and Systems Engineering Projects (SOFTPIT) http://www.soft-pit.de - Tool Support and Requirements Management in Distributed Projects (REMIDI) http://www4.in.tum.de/~kuhrmann/remidi07.shtml The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Final Call for Papers: BUSITAL 2009 at CAiSE Datum: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:05:07 -0500 Von: Hans Weigand <h.weigand(a)uvt.nl> Antwort an: Hans Weigand <h.weigand(a)uvt.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 4th Int.Workshop on Business/IT Alignment and Interoperability Amsterdam, June 9, 2009, in conjunction with the CAiSE-09 conference. Papers due: February 22, 2009 http://busital09.isis.tuwien.ac.at/ Organizations are today becoming more and more dependent on their information systems and other kinds of IT-based support systems to realize their business strategies, building value networks with partners, and managing their resources effectively. But how can organizations ensure that their IT investments are well aligned with the needs of the business? A number of frameworks and methods have been designed to help managers in aligning business and IT. Such alignment is a critical early stage activity to understand how information systems contribute to business strategy and to set directions for the development and maintenance processes that follow. Recently, novel methods and techniques based on conceptual and enterprise modeling have been proposed to support mutual alignment between business needs and IT solutions. BUSITAL09 is a forum for practitioners and researchers that want to explore the benefits, challenges and solutions of business and IT alignment. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks for modeling business strategy: Techniques and methods for capturing and understanding those components of business strategy that profoundly impact information systems landscapes. * Systems methodologies and frameworks for guiding information system design using relevant information in business strategy models/definitions, including traceability issues. * Models, methods, and tools for indicating, analyzing, and measuring alignment, including business activity monitoring * Solutions for guiding information systems evolution and adaptation using relevant information in business strategy models/definitions, including IT governance. * Case studies and empirical reports on the benefits and costs of alignment. * Business/IT alignment in organizational networks, including co-creation of value through global networks * Alignment issues in Service-Oriented analysis and design Program Commitee Eric Dubois Public Research Centre Henri Tudor, Luxembourg Jaap Gordijn Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands W.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] International Journal of Internet and Enterprise Management - Special Issue on Enterprise Systems Modeling and Simulation Datum: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 05:52:16 -0500 Von: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> International Journal of Internet and Enterprise Management - Special Issue on �Enterprise Systems Modeling and Simulation� Website: http://www.ais-sigmas.org/ijiem.pdf Guest Editors: Dr. Joseph Barjis, Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands: J.Barjis(a)TUDelft.NL Dr. Alexander Verbraeck, Full Professor, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands: A.Verbraeck(a)TUDelft.NL IMPORTANT DATES ============================================== Paper Submission: June 20, 2009 Authors Notification: July 20, 2009 Final Submission: August 1, 2009 Projected Publication: TBD SPECIAL ISSUE SCOPE ============================================== As many complex processes and systems, the enterprise context is a prominent application domain for modeling and simulation. Due to its field proven benefits, modeling and simulation is becoming a powerful method and tool in managing enterprises and designing and engineering enterprise systems. The focus of this special issue is on the role, importance, and application of modeling and simulation (M&S) in a rather extended enterprise context. This extended context implies that enterprise information systems and software applications are designed to enable certain business processes, facilitate interaction of the actors, the system, and the environment, and help in the management of complex organizations such as an enterprise. Thus, application of modeling and simulation in the enterprise context involves a number of socio-technical aspects (Information Systems (IS), Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), Software Systems, Decision Support Systems, Business Systems, Human Interaction, etc.). Although, the traditional role of modeling and simulation has been seen as instruments to observe dynamic behavior of systems, measure IT impacts on organizations, and study outcome of changes, currently the managerial perspective of modeling and simulation is receiving more and more attention. For example, modeling and simulation can play prominent role in the management of enterprise, decision making process, monitoring enterprise resources, strategic planning, etc. With the launch of this special issue, we aim to create an outlet for researchers, practitioners, and educators interested in the application of modeling and simulation to both technical and managerial aspects of an enterprise, its information and business systems, decision making settings, and business environment. Important Note: This special issue is based on a collection of best papers presented at EOMAS 2009: International Workshop on Enterprise & Organizational Modeling and Simulation. Although public submissions are welcome, authors are encouraged to submit their papers to EOMAS 2009 for presentation before the conference submission due date of February 23 (read more: http://www.EOMAS.org/). Papers submitted to this special issue via the JMS portal (see below) will be reviewed after the EOMAS 2009 conference, rather than on the normal rolling basis. This special issue is aimed to solicit research results on the following topics of interest, but not limited. SUGGESTED TOPICS ============================================== - Modeling and Simulation in Enterprise Management - Enterprise Systems Modeling and Simulation - Enterprise Modeling and Simulation - Enterprise Engineering, Design, and Ontology - Enterprise Processes Modeling and Simulation - Information Systems Design, Modeling and Simulation - Requirements Modeling and Simulation - Process Reengineering and Redesign - Embedded Simulation Models for Organizational Decision Support - Animation and Visualization of Business Processes - Enterprise Workflow Modeling and Simulation - Inter-Organizational Process Modeling and Simulation - Simulation Methods, Techniques, and Tools for Enterprise Systems - Security Issues in Enterprise and Enterprise Systems - Case Studies on Enterprise Systems Implementations - Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling and Simulation - Enterprise Resource Planning Systems - Modeling and Simulation in Decision Support Systems SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ============================================== All submissions will be submitted by the authors via the Journal Management System (http://www.calpoly.edu/~eli/iceb/JMS.htm).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Journal SIMULATION - Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation in Healthcare Datum: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 05:50:20 -0500 Von: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Journal SIMULATION - Special Issue on �Modeling and Simulation in Healthcare� (an ISI ranked journal) Website: http://www.ais-sigmas.org/sim.pdf Guest Editor: Dr. Joseph Barjis, Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands: J.Barjis(a)TUDelft.NL IMPORTANT DATES ============================================== Paper Submission: May 8, 2009 Authors Notification: June 22, 2009 Final Submission: July 10, 2009 Projected Publication: Nov 2009 SPECIAL ISSUE SCOPE ============================================== Modeling and simulation have benefited many of the traditional areas in learning about system behavior, providing training, becoming a standard practice for analyzing and developing complex systems/processes, and helping to mitigate design flaws. The healthcare domain, with all its potential, is making only first steps in this horizon. Applying modeling and simulation as two complementary methods in healthcare could facilitate a significant understanding of the healthcare operational aspects, medical practices, treatment delivery, and help to identify where potential human errors are most likely. Due to its importance, sensitivity, complexity, security, informality, and specific nature, healthcare requires unified modeling and simulation approach, which creates an enormous potential for challenging research and innovative applications. With global transition to electronic medical records (EMR), simulation could be used to study the IT impact on healthcare processes, redesigning current healthcare processes to implement innovations in the delivery of healthcare. One of the main challenges and quality factors in healthcare delivery is waiting time and traveling to medical centers. Medical resources (physicians, advanced diagnostic equipments, operation facilities) are constantly in high demand, which require innovative approaches to increase their availability. Current trends in designing new medical facilities require co-design of medical centers and healthcare processes - known as process-centric spatial design. Simulating healthcare practices where space and processes are jointly taken into account may significantly increase resource utilization and healthcare productivity. Streamlining procedures for traveling patients may result in high satisfaction as well as reducing number of visits. Furthermore, simulation is immerging as an asset in training, communication, and sharing among analysts, practitioners, and professionals in the healthcare domain. This special issue is aimed to solicit research results on the following topics of interest, but not limited: SUGGESTED TOPICS ============================================== - Potential of simulation in healthcare - Challenges of simulation in healthcare - Pitfalls with applying simulation in healthcare - Simulation methods and methodologies for healthcare - Modeling and simulation of patient examination processes - Modeling and simulation of hospitalization processes - Modeling and simulation of primary care (general practitioner/family doctor) offices - Modeling and simulation of inter-organizational processes in healthcare - Modeling and summation of EMR systems - Requirements modeling and simulation for designing EMR system - Modeling and summation of ICT impacts in healthcare - Modeling and Simulation of IT-healthcare alignment - Simulation of healthcare information systems - Simulation and gaming for training healthcare personnel - Process-centric spatial design and simulation of healthcare centers - Case studies in healthcare simulation - Survey of simulation tools/suites for healthcare SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ============================================== For manuscript formatting and other guidelines, please visit the SIMULATION Submission Guidelines webpage: http://www.scs.org/pubs/simulation/submissionGuidelines.html Manuscripts should be prepared and submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/simulation.

The main focus of this special issue is on the role, importance, and application of Modeling and Simulation within the extended enterprise and business process management context. This context implies that systems and software applications are designed to enable certain business processes, and to facilitate interaction of the actors, the system, and the environment. Thus, application of M&S in the enterprise context involves a number of managerial, behavioral, and enterprise engineering aspects such as business process management, business process design and redesign, business process improvement, requirements engineering, IT impact on business processes, change management. Traditionally, Modeling & Simulation have been endorsed as instruments to observe dynamic behavior of systems, measure IT impacts on organizations, and outcomes of changes. In the current context of open-source software development, service-oriented architectures (SOAs) and business process outsourcing (BPO), M&S assumes even more significance in assessing business process management effectiveness, alignment between business process models and corresponding SOAs, alignment between the client and vendor business strategies in a BPO contract, etc. using embedded simulation in enterprise and organizational models. Next to research interests, there is a growing interest in this field from educational and curriculum perspective with programs at all levels including doctoral level (IS and MIS majors). Thus papers addressing and strengthening the teaching of the Modeling & Simulation discipline are also welcome. This special issue is aimed to become a major outlet for researchers, practitioners, and educators interested in the theory and application of Modeling & Simulation within the enterprise and business process management context.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] EOMAS 2009 @ CAiSE: Enterprise & Organizational Modeling and Simulation Datum: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 05:45:40 -0500 Von: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 5th International Workshop on Enterprise & Organizational Modeling and Simulation (EOMAS 2009) June 8-9, 2009, Amsterdam, Netherlands EOMAS website: http://www.EOMAS.org EOMAS is sponsored by: - ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation - http://www.SIGSIM.org - AIS Special Interest Group on Modeling And Simulation - http://www.AIS-SIGMAS.org - CAiSE 2008: http://caise09.thenetworkinstitute.eu/ There are several special issues based on a collection of best papers presented at EOMAS (visit http://www.EOMAS.org/) IMPORTANT DATES ============================================== Submission: Feb. 23, 2009 Notification: March 23, 2009 Camera ready: April 6, 2009 AIM & SCOPE ============================================== Modeling & Simulation (M&S) is increasingly becoming a powerful method and tool in analyzing, designing, and engineering complex processes and systems. The main focus of EOMAS is on the role, importance, and application of Modeling and Simulation within the extended organizational and enterprise context. This context implies that systems and software applications are designed to enable certain business processes, and to facilitate interaction of the actors, the system, and the environment. Thus, application of M&S in the organizational and enterprise context involves a number of socio-technical aspects (Information Systems (IS), Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), Software Systems, and Business Systems, Human Interaction, etc.). Next to research interests, there is a growing interest in this field from educational and curriculum perspective with programs at all levels including doctoral level (IS and MIS majors). Thus papers addressing and strengthening the teaching of the Modeling & Simulation discipline are also welcome, especially that this workshop also includes a panel on M&S Education. In addition to extensive research programs, the field of M&S is actively attracting industry and tool developers. For businesses, the practice of M&S is becoming a de facto standard tool to measure, change and improve their business processes on regular basis. This workshop is aimed to become a major outlet and networking opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and educators interested in the theory and application of Modeling & Simulation within the enterprise and organizational context.

[Fwd: [WI] CfP: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009) Datum: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:35:02 +0100 Von: joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ======================================================================== Call for Papers: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009) In conjunction with the 11th IEEE Conference on Commerce and Enterprise Computing (CEC 2009) July 20-23, 2009, Vienna, Austria http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/Deecs2009 ++ Deadline for submission: March 16/23, 2009 ++ ++ Full papers, position papers, posters, and demos invited ++ ++ IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings ++ ++ Papers will be included in the IEEE Digital Library ++ ======================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== As part of their e-business activities, enterprises create, share, recombine, and process an ever increasing amount of data and documents that range from simple transactional data to complex business process definitions. In many respective processes, multiple spheres overlap, e.g., (1) inter- with intra-organizational data sources in collaborative processes, (2) master data with transactional data, (3) regular data with behavioral aspects of processes, or (4) facts with normative assertions. Since business entities are members of multiple value chains, same as data sources are often used in multiple contexts and processes, there are often conflicting requirements on the representation of such data. At the same time, enterprise computing infrastructures are currently transforming into service-oriented systems; this change has severe consequences as well as offers opportunities for the data management processes. All this in combination makes data engineering in e-commerce and service- oriented computing a very challenging task, already at the level of a single company but even more in value chains. Also, respective modeling choices may have long-lasting and far reaching impact, and affect (1) operational efficiency, (2) business process agility, (3) the range of analytical tasks for decision support, and (4) strategic options. Eventually, those choices determine the current and future degree of automation in content and process integration. While e-business standards in general help, standardization alone does not solve the problem. This is because yielding a consensual representation takes time, consumes resources, and constrains an entity’s ability to capture individual details. Moreover, the cost of implementing and enforcing the standards is sometimes prohibitive for small businesses. Proprietary representations, on the other hand, hamper interoperability, and complicate B2B integration. In service-oriented architectures (SOAs), this complexity is further increased by the behavioral dimension of e-business interactions, e.g., services choreography and orchestration. This workshop aims at providing a venue for discussion and the exchange of ideas on data and knowledge engineering issues in the dynamic environment of e-business, enterprise computing, and business services and transformation. The relation to CEC 2009 is that it addresses a core problem in enterprise computing. In the format of an interactive workshop, it focuses the intersection of three main areas: data engineering, knowledge engineering, and business process management. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting full and short papers, posters, and hands-on demonstrations on the following topics: - Business data integration - Business data management - Business decision support - Business intelligence - Business modeling and analysis - Business process integration - Business process management - Business process monitoring - Business process intelligence - Case studies and applications - Corporate knowledge management - Customer relationship management (CRM) - Data-intensive decision support systems - E-commerce content - E-commerce standards - Enterprise application integration - E-procurement and e-sourcing - Folksonomies and collaborative tagging in business applications - Logistics data engineering - Ontologies and use of Semantic Web technology - Product data management - Product lifecycle management - Product specification standardization - Semantic business process management - Semantic Web Services - Sensors and actuators - Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) - Service-level agreements and their specification along and across value chains - Supply chain management - Ubiquitous / context-aware services - Web services Paper Submission and Publication ================================ We are inviting the submission of - full papers (up to 8 pages), - position papers (up to 5 pages), - posters (2-page extended abstracts or final posters), and - hands-on demonstrations (2-page descriptions of the demo) describing original research on the listed or related topics. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers using the 8.5'' x 11'', two-column format. Submissions must be in the form of PDF documents using our electronic submission system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=deecs2009 At least one author is required to attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main CEC'09 conference. Full papers will be published in the regular conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Review Process ============== Each paper will typically be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. Reviewers will score submissions according to their contribution, originality/novelty, technical depth/merit, and quality of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: "Advanced Knowledge-based Systems" at KES 2009 with Data & Knowledge Engineering Spec Issue Datum: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 02:02:55 -0500 Von: Alfredo Cuzzocrea <cuzzocrea(a)si.deis.unical.it> Antwort an: Alfredo Cuzzocrea <cuzzocrea(a)si.deis.unical.it> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers --------------- Invited Session �Advanced Knowledge-based Systems� (http://si.deis.unical.it/~cuzzocrea/KES2009/) of the LNCS/LNAI 12nd International Conference on Knowledge-based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems (KES 2009) (http://kes2009.kesinternational.org/), September 28-30, 2009, Santiago, Chile. Selected papers from the session will be invited for submission to a special issue of Data & Knowledge Engineering (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505608/descrip…), Elsevier (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/homepage.cws_home). Aim and Scope ------------- Modern intelligent information systems require more and more for advanced knowledge representation, management, and discovery tools and techniques to be implemented within their core layers. This poses new challenges on the issue of devising innovative methodologies and paradigms in the context of a broad umbrella encompassing several research topics ranging from knowledge representation to knowledge integration, from knowledge management to knowledge processing, from knowledge discovery to knowledge delivery, and from knowledge security to privacy preserving knowledge. These argumentations put the basis for a novel class of intelligent systems, the so-called Advanced Knowledge-based Systems, which should be reasonably intended as intelligent information systems where knowledge representation, management, and discovery are emphasized in order to achieve complex functionalities beyond those of traditional information-oriented methodologies. Advanced Knowledge-based Systems arise in many fields: Advanced Database Management Systems, Advanced Data Warehouse Systems, Complex Data Mining Tools, OLAP Systems, Machine Learning Tools, Data/Information Integration Systems, Enterprise Information Systems, Business Information Systems, Cooperative Information Systems, Collaborative Information Systems, Complex Intelligent Information Systems, Hybrid Information Systems, Workflow Management Systems, Process Mining Systems, Ontology Representation and Management Systems, Web Intelligence Systems, Grid and Web Services Architectures, Data Stream Management Systems, Sensor Network Data Analysis Tools, and so forth. In all these research fields, despite some recent advancements, various aspects need to be further investigated, among which: formal foundations, knowledge representation methodologies and techniques, knowledge management methodologies and techniques, knowledge integration methodologies and techniques, knowledge processing methodologies and algorithms, knowledge discovery methodologies and algorithms, knowledge pattern extraction methodologies and algorithms, knowledge delivery methodologies and techniques, knowledge security methodologies and techniques, privacy preserving knowledge methodologies and techniques, advanced database management methodologies and algorithms, advanced query languages and techniques, database integration methodologies and techniques, ETL methodologies and algorithms, OLAP data cube computation and query processing techniques, data warehouse integration methodologies and techniques, data mining and machine learning algorithms and techniques, complex data mining techniques (e.g., multi-relational data mining), cooperative information processing methodologies and techniques, collaborative information processing methodologies and techniques, process representation and management methodologies and techniques, ontology representation and management methodologies and techniques, Web/Grid representation and management methodologies and techniques, data stream query languages, data stream information processing methodologies and techniques, and so forth. Following the success of the (previous) Invited Session Advanced Knowledge-based Systems (http://si.deis.unical.it/~cuzzocrea/KES2008/) of the 12nd International Conference on Knowledge-based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems (KES 2008) (http://kes2008.kesinternational.org/), held in Zagreb, Croatia, during September 3-5, 2008, the Invited Session Advanced Knowledge-based Systems of the 13th International Conference on Knowledge-based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems (KES 2009) (http://kes2009.kesinternational.org/), to be held in Santiago, Chile, during September 28-30, 2009, focuses on these aspects, by posing the emphasis on a theoretical as well as a practical point of view, and provides a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in Advanced Knowledge-based Systems to meet and exchange preliminary ideas and mature results.
