Conference Focus
----------------
The ministry of higher educution of Syrian Arabic Republic, the Syrian
Computer Society, the German Computer Society and the German-Syrian Computer
Society announce the ET2EB Conference, which will be held in Damascus, Homs,
Lattakia and Aleppo in April 2002. The focus of the conference is to bring
together researchers and practioneers for discussion of computer science
topics which are strongly relevant for countries which a growing potential
in information technology, like Syria. Based on the commonly available
Internet-Technology a borderless development of information systems offers
the opportunity to set up a network of software companies in the different
parts of the world to establish virtual enterprises. In that way the
existing pool of highly motivated and educated computer scientists can solve
bottlenecks in established software developing companies. On the other hand
the open cultural perspective can support a joined view for the world. Here
the very topical field of E-Business should be the starting point of common
initiatives. For E-Business concepts and results of numerous fields of
computer science are highly relevant. For the following topics we like to
invite contributions or suggestions for Workshops
· Database Systems
· Computer Networks, LAN and WAN-Technology
· Simulation, Computer Graphics, and Multimedia
· Bioinformatics / Medical Information Systems
· Engineering Systems, CAD, and CAM
· XML, HTML, Data Exchange Standards
· E-Commerce Projects
· E-Business and E-Banking
· E-Learning
· Unified Modelling Language, and other approaches
· Knowledge Management
· Risk Management
· Information Management
· Artificial Intelligence Approaches
· Electronic Government and E-Governance
The main focus of the conference is to set up a community which provides a
global and integrated view to this topics and to start inititiaves in Syria.
For that the conference offers a wide range of additional activities, e.g.
open discussions, the visit of different universities in Syria, historical
and cultural places. The conference is supported by the Syrian Ministry of
Higher Education. All costs for flight, accommodation, hosting and cultural
activies during the conference are included in the conference fee.
Contributions, Important Dates
------------------------------
Paper Contributions, Suggestions for Workshops, Projects, Panel Discussions
should be sent to Jubran Rajub (rajub(a)iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de) until
February 15th, 2002. Suggestions and abstracts should not exceed two pages.
The notification of acceptance is announce for the February 28th, 2002. The
final papers have to be submitted until March 15th, 2002, otherwise the
contribution can not be published in the proceedings. Submitted papers must
be free of copyright. Since the audience is very different to other
conferences, also papers presented before will be accepted as contributions.

at Budapest in connection with the 15th European Conference on Object
Oriented Programming (18-22 June 2001).
Academics, researchers and practitioners interested in all approaches
aimed at achieving the integration of enterprise systems are invited to
submit a paper to this workshop.
Please refer to http//www.site-project.org.uk/events/ecoop2001_workshop/
and the ECOOP 2001 website (http//ecoop2001.inf.elte.hu/) for further
information concerning the workshop, conference and venue.
*** Call for Papers ***
The expansion of the Internet and the growth of e-commerce systems have
accentuated pre-existing problems related with systems interoperability
and the definition of common semantics throughout business
organisations. Communication and exchange of data and information
between business systems is nowadays dependent on the definition,
modelling, design and implementation of underlying concepts shared
across organisations. The issues involved are not just related to
infrastructure and technology. Indeed fundamental problems exist around
the understanding of what `concepts' are shared, how they relate and
what mechanisms should be adopted to allow systems to communicate and
interoperate at all levels.
Genericity mechanisms, such as patterns, frameworks and components, have
the potential for defining, modelling, designing and implementing shared
concepts. Such mechanisms have inherited many object-oriented principles
and built upon them to enhance the generalised nature of business
problems and solutions both vertically (within the same domain) and
horizontally (across different domains). Increasingly, these are
supported by emerging "ontological" definitions and related languages
(e.g. XML) designed to exemplify genericity. The potential contribution
of XML to the definition of business ontologies and semantics is also
relevant. Researchers and practitioners world-wide are exploring the
possibility of defining interoperable industry specifications based on
XML and the definition of an Ontology Markup Language.
The adoption and implementation of genericity mechanisms and ontological
"tools" is difficult to implement in "greenfield" situations. These
difficulties are exacerbated in "brownfield" situations in which clear
architectural separations do not exist and multiple technologies do
exist.
In light of this the aim of the workshop is to discuss
- How shared business ontologies can be defined and represented
- How the underlying semantics can be represented and implemented
through object and component-based technologies
- The role of mechanisms of generic abstraction in the definition of
common semantics
- The role of XML in the definition of business ontologies
The workshop will follow these phases
1. Presentation of reviewed papers followed by discussion and questions
2. Participants will be divided into groups of interest to discuss
specific subtopics emerging from the previous phase
3. General discussion of points drawn by the groups in phase two
4. Conclusion
*** Submission Guidelines ***
MERIT 2001 seeks high quality submissions in two categories
- Full technical papers, describing original, unpublished research (10
pages).
- Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results
(6 pages).
All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two referees and selected
papers will be made available to participants online prior to the
workshop. Papers should be written using the author kit by Springer
Verlag (http//www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) for typesetting.
*** Important Dates ***
Submission of papers: April 30, 2001
Notification of acceptance: May 21, 2001
Camera ready copies: June 1, 2001
Day of workshop: June 19, 2001
*** Submission Method ***
Papers must be submitted by e-mail to the organisers
(Sergio.deCesare(a)brunel.ac.uk or Mark.Lycett(a)brunel.ac.uk).
