Forwarded message from [liddle@BYU.EDU (Stephen W. Liddle)] sent originally on Thu, 6 Apr 2000 14:47:28 -0600: : CALL FOR PAPERS : : 2nd International Workshop on the World Wide Web : and Conceptual Modeling (WCM2000) : : held in conjunction with : : 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER2000) : : October 9-12, 2000, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA www.er2000.byu.edu/wcm2000 : : SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP : : The Web is voluminous, dynamic, information and data intensive, and : varies from completely unstructured to fully structured. Despite this : Web chaos, all sectors of our global society use the World Wide Web to : further such goals as electronic commerce, information acquisition, and : information dissemination. How can we harness this vast mass of : potential information to further these and other similar goals? : : In this workshop, we propose to explore ways we can apply conceptual modeling : to address these challenges. In particular, we wish to consider building : conceptual data models to describe knowledge about patterns of data, about : objects in our models, and about interactions among these objects and with : Web users. These conceptual models should provide the basis for high-quality : organization, presentation, search, information extraction, intelligent : caching, electronic business processing, and Web site development and : management. : : WCM2000 follows a very successful WWWCM'99 (proceedings published in : Advances in Conceptual Modeling, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, : vol. 1727, Springer-Verlag, 1999), and we hope to build on the : accomplishments of the first workshop. : : TOPICS : : We invite submissions on all topics relating to conceptual modeling and : its application to the Web. Particular topics of interest include: : : - data and behavioral semantics : - data caching : - data cleaning : - data extraction and information retrieval : - data integration : - data models for Web data : - knowledge discovery : - mining text and data : - semantic search : - semi-structured data : - site design and management : - standards for Web data management (XML, RDF, ...) : - view creation and maintenance : - visualizing the Web : - Web database development : - Web query languages : - Web warehousing : - Web security : - workflow modeling : : We are interested in conceptual modeling applied to Web tools, such as: : : - authoring tools : - browsers : - mediators : - spiders : - wrappers : : Web applications that use conceptual modeling are also of interest: : : - digital libraries : - e-business : - e-commerce : - Web publishing : : Any other topic providing insight into opportunities for conceptual-modeling : research on the Web is also welcome. : : PUBLICATION : : Accepted papers will appear in a workshop proceedings, published by : Springer Verlag. Authors will present their work and provide an opportunity : for workshop participants to discuss topics related their work. Papers not : selected for publication may be invited for presentation as posters or as : work in progress. : : IMPORTANT DATES : : Electronic submission of abstracts: 14 April 2000 : Electronic submission of full papers: 21 April 2000 : Notification: 16 June 2000 : Camera-ready copies due: 11 July 2000 : : SUBMISSION GUIDELINES : : Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, : previously unpublished work. Papers should be no more than 5,000 words in : length. Referees will consider originality, significance, technical : soundness, and clarity of exposition. : : Please submit electronically in PDF or PostScript (Word, WordPerfect, LaTeX, : ASCII, and other formats are not acceptable -- you must first print to a PDF : or PostScript file). To submit an abstract or a paper, point your Web : browser to: : : http://www.er2000.byu.edu/wcm2000/authors.php : : and follow the instructions. : : WORKSHOP CHAIR : : Stephen W.
