[forwarded] CFP NMR2000 -> abduction

Forwarded message from [denecker(a)cs.uky.edu (Marc Denecker)] sent originally on Fri, 5 Nov 1999 10:03:22 -0500: : Apologies for multiple copies. : : ****************************************************************** : : CALL FOR PAPERS : : ****************************************************************** : : NMR 2000 : : Special session on ABDUCTIVE REASONING : : ****************************************************************** : : Over the last two decades several studies have shown how abductive : reasoning can be used to address a variety of problems. These problems : include updates in databases, belief revision, planning, : diagnosis, natural language understanding, default reasoning, user : modeling and, more generally, problems requiring reasoning with : incomplete information. Despite this wide range of potential : applications of abduction, there has been relatively little work : on showing how abduction can provide an effective computational model : for practical problems. The field lacks coherent methodological : guidelines and general-purpose, working systems, that could be : employed for this variety of problems, and real-life applications. : : For this reason, NMR 2000, the 8th workshop in the NMR series, : includes a special one-day session devoted to abductive reasoning. Its : main purpose would be to evaluate the role of abduction in : applications and to try to address the question of what general : methodologies or "engineering/programming/modeling" principles are : appropriate for the development of abductive applications. : : We are seeking papers on the theory and practice of abductive reasoning. : Emphasis will be given on recent and novel applications and systems : of abduction which could help establish its role within AI and : more generally its role as a computational problem solving paradigm. : Of particular interest for the session are the following topics: : : o role of abduction in Artificial Intelligence, : : o proof procedures and systems for abduction, : : o methodologies for applications of abduction, : : o novel applications of abduction, : : The general procedure for submission of the special session is : identical to the procedure of NMR2000. Informal proceedings containing : accepted papers and other workshop materials will be distributed at : the meeting. In addition, they will be published on the web. Format : requirements for regular submissions are: : : 12 double-spaced pages excluding title page and bibliography : on-line submissions are encouraged (postscript file) : : Important dates: : : Submission of papers: January 15, 2000 : Acceptance decision by: February 15, 2000 : Camera ready copy due: March 8, 2000 : : Electronic copies of the papers can be submitted to the organisers of : the session: : : Marc Denecker K.U.Leuven, Belgium (Marc.Denecker(a)cs.kuleuven.ac.be) : Antonis Kakas University of Cyprus, Cyprus (antonis(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy) : Francesca Toni, Imperial College (ft(a)doc.ic.ac.uk) : : Program Committee: : : Marc Denecker : Thomas Eiter : Randy Goebel : Katsumi Inoue : Antonis Kakas : Daniele Theseider Dupre : Francesca Toni : : http://www.cs.engr.uky.edu/nmr2000/abduction.html -- Wirtschaftsinformatik, FB5, Universitaet GH Essen Gustaf.Neumann(a)uni-essen.de, neumann(a)computer.org http://nestroy.wi-inf.uni-essen.de/Neumann.html

Thus, WWW, a distributed global information resource, is not : only important to individual users, but to business organizations. Today, a : large number of companies, organizations, and customers are exploiting the : opportunities offered by Internet-based electronic commerce solutions and : many more are expected to follow. Companies have put their databases and : product catalogues on the Web, search engines allow electronic market : participants around the globe to locate potential trading partners, and a : set of different protocols are established to exchange goods and services by : using different business models and following different strategies. There is : a diagnostic need for effective tools for information consumers, who must be : able to easily locate in the web interested information from unstructured : documents and pictures to structured, record oriented data. The effective : and efficient access to the web information to support e-commerce activities : has become a critical research area. This has led to the development of new : e-commerce tools and technology, web data models and query languages, web : site management system, auction and negotiation issues etc. The management : of Web data is receiving a new set of challenges with the advent of XML and : other standards. : : The main objective of this conference is to bring together researchers from : different disciplines, developers, and users all interested in electronic : commerce and web technologies and to assess current methodologies and new : research directions. Although a natural focus will be on computer science : issues, we expressly welcome technical research contributions from : economics, : business, law, and other relevant disciplines. The conference will be : organized : as a two track conference: E-commerce and Web Technologies. The major topics : of : interest include but are not limited to: : : Electronic Commerce : ------------------- : Auction and negotiation technology : Agent-mediated electronic commerce : Business Process Reengineering for electronic commerce : Case studies in electronic commerce : Consumer protection in electronic commerce : Costs and benefit aspects : Cryptographic techniques and applications : Digital goods and products : Electronic commerce application fields : (such as health care, tourism, trade, university, government, : logistics and transport) : Electronic payment systems and exchange protocols : Electronic publishing : Formation of supply chains, coalitions, and virtual enterprises : Innovative business models : Intellectual property licensing : Languages for describing goods, services, and contracts : Legal and privacy issues : Network pricing and quality of service : Reputation and trust mechanisms and issues : Security issues and methods : Social, organizational and cross-cultural issues : Standards for electronic commerce : : Web Technologies : ---------------- : Emerging Standards for Web Data (XML, XSL, RDF etc) : Web data models : Web data integration and wrappers : Web query languages : Web query processing and optimization : Storage structures and indexing techniques for web data : Web warehousing : Knowledge discovery of web data : Web data mining and analysis : Discovering structures in web data : Web site management : View maintenance of web data : Web security : Mobile agents to deal with web data : Digital libraries and information retrieval : Web caching : Web data visualization : Web Farming : : Paper Submission Details : ------------------------ : Authors are invited to submit research and application papers, not exceeding : 5000 words or 16 A-4 double-spaced pages, representing original, previously : unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on : originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. : All papers will be refereed by three members of the program committee. : Accepted papers will be published by the Springer Verlag as Lecture Notes in : Computer Science (LNCS).
