Particular emphasis is placed upon applying : knowledge-based methods to software engineering problems. The : Conference originated in order to provide a forum in which the latest : developments in the field of knowledge-based software engineering : could be discussed. Although initially targeting scientists from : Japan, the CIS countries and countries in Central and Eastern Europe, : JCKBSE warmly welcomes participants from all countries. JCKBSE 2000 : will continue with this tradition and is anticipating even wider : international participation. Furthermore, the scope of the conference : as indicated by its topics has been updated to reflect the recent : development in all the three covered areas, i.e. knowledge : engineering, software engineering, and knowledge-based software : engineering. : : The conference will include several invited talks and a plenary talk : by a distinguished speaker. : ------------------------------------------------------------- : Organized by : * Czech Society for Computer Science, : * Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Faculty of : Electrical Engineering : and Computer Science, Brno University of Technology and : * SIG-KBSE, The Institute of Electronics, Information and : Communication Engineers, Japan. : : in cooperation with : * IEEE Tokyo Section Computer Chapter, : * Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence, : * Russian Association for Artificial Intelligence, : * Slovak Society for Computer Science, : * The Institution of Electrical Engineering - Slovakia Centre and : VEMA Brno, computers and projects, Ltd., Brno : ------------------------------------------------------------ : Program Committee : : Bailes P., Australia, Banaszak Z., Poland, : Benczur A., Hungary, Bielikova M., Slovakia, : Brusilovsky P., USA, Devedzic,V., Yugoslavia, : Dichev,Ch., V., USA, Dicheva,D., USA, : Dochev D., Bulgaria, Ehrlich,A., Russia, : Eisenecker U., Germany, Far Behrouz H., Japan, : Fukazawa Yoshiaki, Japan, Gams, M., Slovenia, : Gladun V.
