IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) ===================================================================== September 21-25, 2009, Bangalore, India http://www.thecloudcomputing.org/2009/2 Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer Society 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing is the identified hot-topic conference of the IEEE 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009). CLOUD-II 2009 will be co-located with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009). The theme of the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) is �Change We Can Lead�. Cloud Computing has become a scalable services delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualizations of hardware and software. The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. The resource sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g. hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g. Application as a Service, UML modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g. business process as a service). In the fast growing Services Computing community, we have launched a series of events to promote and grow Cloud Computing in the past years. In 2002, we promoted Business Grid to share business processes and applications. In early 2008, The IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) has adopted Cloud Computing to be included in the taxonomy as a body of knowledge area of Services Computing. In July 2008, the IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2008) has delivered a keynote panel �Business Cloud: Bridging The Power of SOA and Cloud Computing� and a keynote �Cloud Computing�. In September 2008, the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2008) has delivered a keynote �Web Services: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Communication, and Beyond� and a panel "Cloud Computing and IT as a Service: Opportunities and Challenges" to further motivate the community members to define Cloud Computing in various areas. Based on the technology foundations and industry driving forces, the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2009) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud Computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Cloud Computing. CLOUD 2009 is the HOT-TOPIC conference highlighted in the 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009), which is jointly sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC) and Services Society. CLOUD-II 2009 will be co-located with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009). To discuss this emerging enabling technology of the modern services industry, CLOUD-II 2009 invites you to join the seventh year�s gathering that explores "Services" Science and Technology in the field of Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default discipline in the modern services industry. CLOUD-II 2009 tries to attract researchers, practitioners, and industry business leaders in all the following areas to help define and shape cloud computing, and its related modernization strategy and directions of the services industry. You are invited to submit research, engineering, and business innovation papers to the following areas: - Infrastructure Cloud - Software Cloud - Application Cloud - Business Cloud - Service-Oriented Architecture in Cloud Computing - Vituralization of Hardware Resources - Virtualization of Software Resources - Cloud Computing Consulting Methods - Design Tool for Cloud Computing - Maintenance and Management of Cloud Computing - Cloud Computing Architecture - Cloud Applications in Vertical Industries In addition, CLOUD-II 2009 organizes cloud computing related keynote sessions, panel discussions, paper presentations, paper posters, innovation show cases, Services University (Fall School), workshops, and tutorials.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP SOBNE '09 at IEEE EDOC 2009 Datum: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 21:43:59 +1000 Von: Axel Korthaus <axel.korthaus(a)qut.edu.au> An: Attachments: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS =============== 1st Workshop on “Service-Oriented Business Networks and Ecosystems” (SOBNE ’09) <http://sky.scitech.qut.edu.au/~korthaus/SOBNE2009/> to be held on Tuesday, 1 September 2009 (preliminary date) in Auckland, New Zealand, at the Thirteenth IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2009) <https://www.se.auckland.ac.nz/conferences/edoc2009/> Important Dates =============== Workshop papers due: 31 May 2009 Workshop paper acceptance notification: 12 July 2009 Camera-ready workshop papers due: 27 July 2009 Day of workshop (preliminary date): 1 Sept. 2009 Background ========== The continuing trends towards an accelerated speed of change and the need to differentiate through innovation force organisations to optimise collaboration within their business networks of employees, suppliers, customers, partners and distributors to maximize both competitive advantage and the productivity of non-differentiating tasks. Key enablers for meeting these challenges include approaches such as Software-as-a-Service, business process outsourcing and the service-oriented paradigm, which has been successfully applied on the technical level to design and implement very flexible and adaptable IT infrastructures and architectures. Increasingly, the service-oriented paradigm also extends towards the business level and provides new perspectives to organise a company’s capabilities and to allow for the easy combination of services to create new business opportunities. Future business value networks will need to quickly react to changes in service demands. New opportunities for innovative service-oriented business models will arise and new roles of players, such as those of service brokers and service aggregators in service marketplaces, will emerge to address the deployment, publishing, discovery, recombination, repurposing, re-branding, delivery to different business channels and monitoring of services in service ecosystems. Service ecosystems can be seen as service-oriented systems that grow up from independent initiatives, yet interact in seamless ways to support complex business processes. Large research programs revolving around new approaches to service orientation, such as the Smart Services CRC in Australia and the Theseus/TEXO lighthouse project in Germany, underline the significance of current service ecosystems research. Related research streams that are of relevance for service ecosystems research include, among others, business value networks, Internet of Services, networked organisations and interorganisational information systems. This workshop aims to explore the principles, challenges and enablers of service-oriented approaches to support and establish service ecosystems of collaborating organisations. It will ad- dress all technical and business-related aspects revolving around the design, deployment and management of service ecosystems to create or transform business operations or processes by reusing and connecting services from different providers. The workshop intends to complement the main scientific program of EDOC 2009 with presentations and discussions of both mature and preliminary project results, ideas, experiences, and knowledge in a way that is more interactive and more focused than paper sessions in the main conference program. The idea is to facilitate useful exchanges of ideas, the improvement of understanding of topics and issues, and the clearer identification of important open research issues and possible approaches towards their solution. Moreover, the workshop should serve as an opportunity for participants to coordinate efforts and establish collaborations. Topics ====== The topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Service Portfolio Management * Service Governance * Service Engineering * (Semantic) Service Discovery * Service Analysis and Design * Service Brokerage and Aggregation * Service Description Models * Service Innovation * Services and Policies * Service-Oriented Architectures * Service Lifecycle in Service Ecosystems * Service Delivery Platforms and Infrastructures for Service Ecosystems * Service-Oriented Business Models * Roles in Service Ecosystems, e.g. Service Brokers, Service Aggregators * Business Service Aggregation and Composition Patterns * Service-Oriented Business Network Management * Relation to Internet of Services, Business Value Networks, Networked Organisations, Interorganisational Information Systems * Management of Service-Oriented Businesses * Theoretical foundation and empirical investigation of existing manifestations of service ecosystems * Case studies etc. Submission, Workshop Proceedings, Paper Presentation, Awards ============================================================ To facilitate discussion of recent research results and ongoing projects, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) are sought for, in addition to full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing more mature results. There will be one discussion session that complements sessions with presentations of peer-reviewed full and short workshop papers. Proceedings of EDOC 2009 workshops will be published after the conference as ePub by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the IEEE Xplore. Electronic (and potentially paper) proceedings will be prepared for distribution to workshop participants at the EDOC 2009 conference. All papers published in the EDOC 2009 workshop proceedings must be in the IEEE Computer Society format. It is strongly recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are first submitted to the workshop. (This gives precise picture of the paper length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted.) At least 1 author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC 2009 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. (Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2009.) If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. It is planned to give an award for the "best workshop paper" (most promising research, greatest idea etc.). Moreover, there will also be a "best reviewer" award to reward high-quality reviews and useful feedback to workshop paper authors. Please submit your paper on or before the due date to the first workshop organiser Dr. Axel Korthaus by email (axel.korthaus(a)qut.edu.au).

Joining their complimentary views, researchers can exchange their savoir-faire on architectures that are applied to similar problems. The web has evolved toward the semantic web, web services, social web and probably should appear in a "web of things". Consequently the recently emerging web activities are characterized by collaboration, the sharing and creation of knowledge, woven into social and business networks. The techniques of representation, management, sharing, and knowledge discovery begin to face technical interoperability, semantics and organizational challenges. This workshop aims to introduce state-of-the-art semantic technologies, web services and knowledge engineering in order to discover solutions for collaborative work in Science, Health, and Web Science. This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2009). We welcome contributions from academic researchers and industries.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP SOBNE '09 at IEEE EDOC 2009 Datum: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 07:56:38 -0400 Von: Axel Korthaus <axel.korthaus(a)qut.edu.au> Antwort an: Axel Korthaus <axel.korthaus(a)qut.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS =============== 1st Workshop on �Service-Oriented Business Networks and Ecosystems� (SOBNE �09) <http://sky.scitech.qut.edu.au/~korthaus/SOBNE2009/> to be held on Tuesday, 1 September 2009 (preliminary date) in Auckland, New Zealand, at the Thirteenth IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2009) <https://www.se.auckland.ac.nz/conferences/edoc2009/> Important Dates =============== Workshop papers due: 31 May 2009 Workshop paper acceptance notification: 12 July 2009 Camera-ready workshop papers due: 27 July 2009 Day of workshop (preliminary date): 1 Sept. 2009 Background ========== The continuing trends towards an accelerated speed of change and the need to differentiate through innovation force organisations to optimise collaboration within their business networks of employees, suppliers, customers, partners and distributors to maximize both competitive advantage and the productivity of non-differentiating tasks. Key enablers for meeting these challenges include approaches such as Software-as-a-Service, business process outsourcing and the service-oriented paradigm, which has been successfully applied on the technical level to design and implement very flexible and adaptable IT infrastructures and architectures. Increasingly, the service-oriented paradigm also extends towards the business level and provides new perspectives to organise a company�s capabilities and to allow for the easy combination of services to create new business opportunities. Future business value networks will need to quickly react to changes in service demands. New opportunities for innovative service-oriented business models will arise and new roles of players, such as those of service brokers and service aggregators in service marketplaces, will emerge to address the deployment, publishing, discovery, recombination, repurposing, re-branding, delivery to different business channels and monitoring of services in service ecosystems. Service ecosystems can be seen as service-oriented systems that grow up from independent initiatives, yet interact in seamless ways to support complex business processes. Large research programs revolving around new approaches to service orientation, such as the Smart Services CRC in Australia and the Theseus/TEXO lighthouse project in Germany, underline the significance of current service ecosystems research. Related research streams that are of relevance for service ecosystems research include, among others, business value networks, Internet of Services, networked organisations and interorganisational information systems. This workshop aims to explore the principles, challenges and enablers of service-oriented approaches to support and establish service ecosystems of collaborating organisations. It will ad- dress all technical and business-related aspects revolving around the design, deployment and management of service ecosystems to create or transform business operations or processes by reusing and connecting services from different providers. The workshop intends to complement the main scientific program of EDOC 2009 with presentations and discussions of both mature and preliminary project results, ideas, experiences, and knowledge in a way that is more interactive and more focused than paper sessions in the main conference program. The idea is to facilitate useful exchanges of ideas, the improvement of understanding of topics and issues, and the clearer identification of important open research issues and possible approaches towards their solution. Moreover, the workshop should serve as an opportunity for participants to coordinate efforts and establish collaborations. Topics ====== The topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Service Portfolio Management * Service Governance * Service Engineering * (Semantic) Service Discovery * Service Analysis and Design * Service Brokerage and Aggregation * Service Description Models * Service Innovation * Services and Policies * Service-Oriented Architectures * Service Lifecycle in Service Ecosystems * Service Delivery Platforms and Infrastructures for Service Ecosystems * Service-Oriented Business Models * Roles in Service Ecosystems, e.g. Service Brokers, Service Aggregators * Business Service Aggregation and Composition Patterns * Service-Oriented Business Network Management * Relation to Internet of Services, Business Value Networks, Networked Organisations, Interorganisational Information Systems * Management of Service-Oriented Businesses * Theoretical foundation and empirical investigation of existing manifestations of service ecosystems * Case studies etc. Submission, Workshop Proceedings, Paper Presentation, Awards ============================================================ To facilitate discussion of recent research results and ongoing projects, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) are sought for, in addition to full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing more mature results. There will be one discussion session that complements sessions with presentations of peer-reviewed full and short workshop papers. Proceedings of EDOC 2009 workshops will be published after the conference as ePub by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the IEEE Xplore. Electronic (and potentially paper) proceedings will be prepared for distribution to workshop participants at the EDOC 2009 conference. All papers published in the EDOC 2009 workshop proceedings must be in the IEEE Computer Society format. It is strongly recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are first submitted to the workshop. (This gives precise picture of the paper length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted.) At least 1 author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC 2009 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. (Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2009.) If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. It is planned to give an award for the "best workshop paper" (most promising research, greatest idea etc.). Moreover, there will also be a "best reviewer" award to reward high-quality reviews and useful feedback to workshop paper authors. Please submit your paper on or before the due date to the first workshop organiser Dr. Axel Korthaus by email (axel.korthaus(a)qut.edu.au).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: ISF Special issue on Modeling knowledge work and communication in network enterprises Datum: Sun, 26 Apr 2009 14:24:18 -0500 Von: Ashish Gupta <gupta(a)mnstate.edu> Antwort an: Ashish Gupta <gupta(a)mnstate.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for papers Information Systems Frontiers special issue Modeling knowledge work and communication in network enterprises Best papers from HICSS 2010 minitrack on "Analytical and Simulation Models for Knowledge, Enterprise, and Service Networks" will be also be fast tracked for publication in the special issue of Information Systems Frontiers. For more details, please visit http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_43/minitracks/dt-asm.htm Knowledge work processing plays a pivotal role in the efficient and effective functioning of any enterprise. Over the past few years, researchers and practitioners have made tremendous progress in terms of developing innovative tools and technologies that have improved users abilities to capture increasing volumes of information and process more work in short timeframes. Several of the new communication technologies, ubiquitous mobile and computing devices are posing greater demands on the knowledge worker's time and attention in a work environment that is now even more technologically and socially wired than ever before. Although there is clearly some benefit of this constant connectivity, there are also numerous reports of increased stress, cognitive overload, interruptions, turnover, and productivity loss, along with several other negative effects. Despite making significant progress towards streamlining organizational workflow processes with the aid of various technologies, researchers have given little attention to various direct and indirect economic, time and performance implications of having to process so much information in a timely manner. Service organizations such as health care industry, call centers, IS development firms, etc. where knowledge work is the primary output are particularly impacted by the potential waste of time and effort. What is now needed is a systematic study of key organizational communication technologies to develop theories and methods to guide effective and efficient use of these technologies. Analytically robust solutions need to be developed from several different areas such as simulation modeling, social network analysis, human-computer interaction, information ergonomics, queuing theory, stochastic programming, game theory, micro-economic theory and other modeling or empirical approaches to help improve the performance of these technologies as their effects permeates more deeply into work and family life. The scope of this special issue, thus, is to a) focus on a vast majority of cross-disciplinary analytical, simulation, and modeling approaches of scientific and practical value that can be used to identify strategies and suggest improvements in the knowledge work processing within service enterprises, b) mathematical, economic, and simulation models of work flow and information processing (strategies), c) innovative and scientifically robust models representing emerging problems or phenomena of importance, d) models of knowledge worker's behaviors. Suggested Topics: . Modeling problems, new issues, and phenomena of significant currency and interest under the service science paradigm . Modeling processes in service enterprises and other multidisciplinary domains/networks such as healthcare, transportation, security related networks, supply chain networks, open source networks, crime networks, social networks, biological networks, accounting and financial networks, etc. . Innovative analytical and simulation models of individuals and networks in the emerging areas of science and technology . Modeling large (or small) scale service, knowledge or social systems (networks) . Modeling emerging economic paradigms . Modeling IT and Cyber infrastructure . Modeling technology based communication within and across organizations, such as email, instant messaging, web 2.0 technologies, and communication through social networking technologies . Modeling concepts and phenomenon in enterprises, service and knowledge networks such as creativity, decision making, information overload, stress, social capital, productivity, etc. . Modeling Knowledge work and decision making processes . Modeling and analysis of individual or network level communication processes and strategies, types and characteristics of communication networks. . Economic and game-theoretic models of information and knowledge processing . Behavior Modeling- analytical and mathematical models of different human behaviors . Agent based modeling and systems dynamics models of communication and information flow in service and knowledge networks . Social network analysis of communication and collaborative networks . Analytical models of time and memory and their influence on knowledge work processing Journal Special Issue Guest Editors Joseph Barjis, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands: J.Barjis(a)TUDelft.NL Ashish Gupta, Minnesota State University Moorhead, USA, gupta(a)mnstate.edu Ramesh Sharda, Oklahoma State University, USA, ramesh.sharda(a)okstate.edu HICSS minitrack Chairs Ashish Gupta, Ramesh Sharda, Joseph Barjis (Please visit HICSS website for minitrack submission deadline) Submission Process for Journal Special Issue: Key Dates for Information Systems Frontiers Journal submission: Paper Submission: Aug 21, 2009 Authors Notification: Sept 26, 2009 Final Submission: Oct 9, 2009 Projected Publication: 2010 Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word or LaTeX2E format no later than August 21, 2009 to http://www.edmgr.com/isfi/ (please specify "For Special Issue on Modeling Knowledge Work and Communication in Networked Enterprises" in the submission).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd edBPM-Workshop at BPM09 - 2nd CfP Datum: Sun, 26 Apr 2009 12:09:02 +0200 Von: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> ______________________________________________ Call for Papers edBPM 09 2nd International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management 7 September 2009, Ulm, Germany http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de ------------------------------- Information about the workshop ------------------------------- The recently coined term «Event-Driven Business Process Management» (EDBPM) is nowadays an enhancement of Business Process Management (BPM) by new concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). In this context BPM means a software platform which provides companies the ability to model, manage, and optimize these processes for significant gain. As an independent system, CEP is a parallel running platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and the CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the BPM-workflow engine and by the if distributed - IT services which are associated with the business process steps. Also events coming from different event sources in different forms can trigger a business process or influence the execution of the process or a service, which can result in another event. Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular context can be treated as a complex, business level event, relevant for the execution of other business processes or services. A business process arbitrarily fine or coarse grained can be seen as a service again and can be choreographed with other business processes or services, even between different enterprises and organisations. Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides important benefits: - Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and Processes respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they happen. - Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements. - Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without breaking the process model. Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the above mentioned problem domain. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not limited to: - Event-driven BPM: Concepts e.g. Role of event processing in BPM, Business Events: types and representation, Event stream processing in business processes, Data- and event-driven business processes - Design-time CEP and BPM e.g. Modelling events in human-oriented tasks, Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM, BPMN and event processing. - Run-time CEP and BPM e.g. Event pattern detection, BPEL and event processing, Reasoning about unknown/similar events - Applications/Use cases for event-driven BPM e.g. Event-driven monitoring/BAM , Event-driven SLA monitoring ------------------------------- Submission ------------------------------- The following types of submission are solicited: - Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long. - Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6 pages long. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (Long Paper/ Short Paper). Papers can be uploaded via the workshop page on easychair, the address can be found on the workshop homepage (http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de).

Please send to interested colleagues and students] CALL FOR PAPERS ************************************************************************************************************* KR4HC 2009 Workshop on Knowledge Representation for Health-Care: Patient Data, Processes and Guidelines In conjunction with AIME 2009 http://banzai-deim.urv.net/events/KR4HC/ *************************************************************************************************************** DESCRIPTION As computerised health-care support systems are rapidly becoming more knowledge intensive, the representation of medical knowledge in a form that enables reasoning is growing in relevance and taking a more central role in the area of medical informatics. In order to develop a successful decision-support and knowledge management approach to medical knowledge representation, the scientific community has to provide efficient representations, technologies, and tools to integrate all the important elements that physicians work with: electronic health records and health-care information systems, clinical practice guidelines, and standardized medical terminologies, codification standards, etc. Synergies to integrate the above mentioned elements and types of knowledge must be sought both in the medical problems (e.g., prevention, diagnosis, therapy, prognosis, etc.) and also in the CS and AI technologies (e.g., natural language processing, digital libraries, knowledge representation, knowledge integration and merging, decision support systems, machine learning, e-learning, etc.). LIST OF TOPICS We are seeking original papers on topics from the following non-exhaustive list: # Knowledge representation and ontologies for health-care processes. # Formalization of medical processes and knowledge-based health-care models. # The use of ontologies, conceptual models and medical vocabularies for representing descriptive and procedural medical knowledge # Combining medical guidelines with care pathways and the care delivery process. # Procedural knowledge extraction from health-care databases. # Temporal knowledge representation and exploitation. # Knowledge combination and adaptation for health-care processes. # Knowledge validation, eg. checking compliance with guidelines and protocols against patient data, the use of quality indicators, or simulation of guideline against patient data. # Digital libraries and repositories of health-care procedural knowledge, guidelines and protocols # Knowledge-based learning of health-care processes,e.g. data mining for guideline construction. # Data and knowledge integration and interoperability for health-care processes, guidelines and protocols # Personalization and localisation for health-care processes, guidelines and protocols # Use cases and deployments of formal representation of descriptive and procedural medical knowledge # The impact of evidence-based medicine on the development and representations of descriptive and procedural medical knowledge # Methods and tools for change- and version-management of descriptive and procedural medical knowledge. SCHEDULE * Deadline for paper submissions: 15 May 2009 * Notification of acceptance: 10 June 2009 * Final camera-ready manuscripts: 25 June 2009 * Workshop date: 19 July 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers must be submitted before May 15th using the submission process provided by Easychair (www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=kr4hc09), and should follow the Springer format.
