Call for Papers and Workshop Description

The Internet world is being transformed before our = eyes as open standards such as XML are being rapidly adopted. XML technologies = are being seen as harbinger of various new functionality in numerous domains ranging from electronic commerce to electronic publishing to healthcare delivery to manufacturing to insurance, not to mention the Web's = traditional hypertext. Various object-oriented technologies and standards, such as = Java, CORBA and DCOM, have also progressed rapidly in the past few years. At = this time, the industry and academia are seriously looking at the = intersection of these technologies and what it means to the future of the object-web = paradigm. The W3C's latest proposals for a next-generation XML schema=A0 language [1,2] contain = object-oriented extensions and Sun has organized an expert panel to provide mappings = from XML to Java classes [3].=A0 Both of = these efforts were anticipated by Commerce One's Schema for Object-oriented = XML (SOX) [4].=A0 The OMG has also a = number of activities focusing in this arena and has chosen XML as the transfer = format for the UML's Meta-Object Framework [5].

This workshop aims to bring together participants = who are seriously investigating the combined use of these technologies to = support practical application needs in a variety of domains. The goal of this = workshop is to investigate how XML and Distributed Object technologies, such as = Java, CORBA and DCOM, can be integrated leveraging the strengths each have to = offer.

About WET ICE

WET ICE is an annual, international forum for state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies for collaboration. =

WET ICE 2000 will consist of parallel, three-day = workshops on different topics related to collaboration technology. Each workshop will include paper presentations and working group discussions, with = additional joint keynote sessions and a final joint session to summarize each = groups' findings.

What sets WET ICE apart from larger conferences is = that the workshops are kept small enough to promote fruitful discussions on the = latest technology developments, directions, problems, and requirements. Each = group will produce a summary report which will appear in the post-proceedings = to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

They need to remain competitive by developing products and processes which are specific to individual requirements, completely packaged and manufactured globally to make best use of scarce global resources. Networks of enterprises are formed to operate across time and space with world-wide distributed functions of manufacturing, sales, customer support, engineering, quality assurance, project management, supply and process chain management, operations control and so on. Research and technology development is addressing architectures, methodologies, models, tools and services enabling the symbiosis of information and communication infrastructure and the business functions for intra- and inter-enterprise planning, operation and management. Throughout an integrated life cycle of products and enterprises there is the requirement to transform information sourced from globally distributed offices and partners, into knowledge, useful for decision and action. CONFERENCE THEMES Building on the success of the first three DIISM conferences (Tokyo, 1993, Eindhoven, 1996, Fort Worth, 1998), this conference will further elaborate on the: Establishment and management of the dynamics of inter and intra-enterprises for the support of global manufacturing and engineering; Simultaneous development and deployment of information management in multi-cultural systems, assuring universal applicability of the proposed architecture and solutions for globally operating manufacturing companies; Modeling and co-ordination of information system requirements and development of solutions for virtual enterprises; Enterprise integration architectures, methodologies and information infrastructure support for reconfigurable enterprises; Information infrastructure and intelligent manufacturing systems: how information - in globally distributed enterprise networks - is transformed into knowledge for decision and action by machine and skillful people; Design and configuration of models for extended enterprises and product life cycles, and incorporating global inter-enterprise manufacturing requirements; Definition of intra- and inter- enterprises information infrastructure services. The conference program will leave much room for discussion and exchange of views. The conference is also a meeting place for new initiatives for collaborative work between research and practice. CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES The objective of the conference is to extend the understanding and agreement about design methods, modeling languages, reference frameworks, services and architectures for information infrastructure systems for global manufacturing. Some specific goals are: to exchange views and developments in the area of global manufacturing with functions crossing company boundaries to compare and evaluate enterprise integration architectures, modeling methods and languages that support better understanding of the information infrastructure requirements for global manufacturing to expand enterprise and product models such that these can be applied to modeling extended enterprises, enterprise networks and product life cycles to compare and evaluate documented cases in model design, system modeling, architecture and information infrastructure development to summarise experiences from case studies and derive a strategy for developing global infrastructure service designs or implementations to identify targets and requirements for multi-location manufacturing, supply and process chain management, distributed engineering and business functions in a global marketing scenario TOPICS INCLUDED Contributions are invited, but not limited to, concepts, theory and applications in the area of: Enterprise Architectures Supply and process chain management Modeling for inter-enterprises Information interoperability across policy frameworks Frameworks for extended-enterprise process models Product life cycle models Virtual enterprises Virtual manufacturing Generic product and process models and configuration techniques Comparison of frameworks and environments for product and process modeling Harmonization of international standards Multi-agent model execution services Generic information infrastructures, services and interfaces for interflow systems Formal ontologies, information sharing and industrial semiosis Application of web technologies Business-to-business E-commerce infrastructure Partner Interface Process models Remote customer support and system maintenance Concurrent Engineering INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE J.

Email: bob.marcus@gm.com ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________ Call for Papers and Workshop Description The Internet world is being transformed before our eyes as open standards such as XML are being rapidly adopted. XML technologies are being seen as harbinger of various new functionality in numerous domains ranging from electronic commerce to electronic publishing to healthcare delivery to manufacturing to insurance, not to mention the Web's traditional hypertext. Various object-oriented technologies and standards, such as Java, CORBA and DCOM, have also progressed rapidly in the past few years. At this time, the industry and academia are seriously looking at the intersection of these technologies and what it means to the future of the object-web paradigm. The W3C's latest proposals for a next-generation XML schema language [1,2] contain object-oriented extensions and Sun has organized an expert panel to provide mappings from XML to Java classes [3]. Both of these efforts were anticipated by Commerce One's Schema for Object-oriented XML (SOX) [4]. The OMG has also a number of activities focusing in this arena and has chosen XML as the transfer format for the UML's Meta-Object Framework [5]. This workshop aims to bring together participants who are seriously investigating the combined use of these technologies to support practical application needs in a variety of domains. The goal of this workshop is to investigate how XML and Distributed Object technologies, such as Java, CORBA and DCOM, can be integrated leveraging the strengths each have to offer.

You could define these as synonyms if you wanted to. GERAM, for example does not insist that they are different. However, it would be possible to give a more specific meaning to Reference Models as below: Partial Model (a la CIMOSA): models which are describing some view AND/OR some part of a system for a given area of industry. Reference Model: are a kind of partial model, describing some view of a system in an area of industry. (That is, a Refernce Model is in some sense completeley describing a system) Reference models are most important vehicles to shape industry, creating competition while promoting compatibility. Furthermore, partial models (and therefore reference models) may take several forms (a la GERAM): 1. (proto)typical case which can be modified to particular circumstances by changing / omitting non-characteristric details 2. abstract models where the commonality is defined and the particular detail is left to the individual case (fill in the blank) 3.

We need to produce a necessary product at a necessary place on a necessary occasion by a necessary person. Thus, we would assemble and dis- assemble products at any time at any place. Assembly and task planning has played a key role in manufacturing and now in the whole life of manufactured products. Now in the twenty-first century, it becomes not only technology in industry but also daily life technology for the sustainable society. The great progress of computer power will enable task planning usable even by people at home. In the beginning of the new century, we gather in Fukuoka and discuss the broad applications of assembly technology and task planning. Following the success of the three previous editions, this symposium is held in Kyushu Island in Japan. Fukuoka is located by 70-minute flight from Seoul, where ICRA2001 will be held just before ISATP. Considering its importance of assembly and task planning both in industrial application and in new potential one, the theme is newly defined as "Assembly and Disassembly in the Twenty-first Century" but of course includes the continued broad theme of this symposium, "Toward Flexible and Agile Assembly and Manufacturing.

In the era of the Internet, businesses and end-users have invested in new technologies and small and large software organizations around the world are looking for Internet related solutions to evolve and maintain their new Internet software products. Internet technologies are strongly impacting system architectures and business processes and rules. In some cases businesses and end-users have been overwhelmed trying to keep up with software development and evolution processes and practices. In addition to novel solutions to enable the life-cycle of new web-based software systems, huge investments are necessary to migrate aginglegacy applications to web-enabled contemporary systems. ICSM 2001 will address these major changes in the software landscape and their impact on maintenance and evolution. The focus of the conference will be to explore the new challenges that the Internet, as a driver for business changes, poses for software maintenance, and the new opportunities it opens as infrastructure and enabling technology. The purpose of the conference is to promote discussion and interaction between researchers and practitioners. We are particularly interested in exchanging concepts, prototypes, research ideas, and other results which could contribute to the academic arena and also benefit business and the industrial community. ICSM 2001 will be participatory, with working collaborative sessions and presentations of industry projects. ICSM 2001 will bring together researchers, practitioners, developers and users of tools, technology transfer experts, and project managers. The Conference will be held in conjunction with WESS, the Workshop on Empirical Studies of Software. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following aspects of maintenance and evolution: - Methods and theories - Processes and strategies - Organizational frameworks - Life cycle and process control - Design for maintenance - Tools and environments - Internet and distributed systems - Multimedia systems - User interface evolution - Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) - Third party maintenance - Freeware and open source applications - Program comprehension - Software and system visualization - Knowledge based systems - Formal methods - Impact of new software practices - Empirical studies - Software reusability - Programming languages - Source code analysis and manipulation - Testing and regression testing - Models and methods for error prediction - Measurement of software - Maintenance and/or productivity metrics - Preventive maintenance - Personnel aspects of maintenance - Reengineering and reverse engineering - Version and configuration management - Legal aspects and standards - Management and organization - Remote, tele-work, and co-operative applications RESEARCH PAPERS Research papers should describe original and significant work in the research and practice of software maintenance. Research case studies, empirical research, and experiments are particularly welcome. Papers should be 2000 - 5000 words in length, in English. Submit them in PDF or PostScript via email to icsm2001@unisannio.it by 15 January 2001. A prize of the Journal of Software Maintenance will be assigned at the Best submitted Paper. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS We welcome proposals for presentations of Industrial Applications. These can be experience reports from real projects, industrial practices and models, or tool demonstrations. Submit proposals for Industrial Application presentations via email to icsm2001.industry@unisannio.it by 12 March 2001. Industrial Applications proposals will be reviewed by a dedicated sub-committee of the program committee and a 1 page summary of accepted proposals will be included in the conference proceedings. TUTORIALS Tutorials should present software maintenance and evolution topics of interest to practitioners. Tutorials may be full-day or half-day in length. Submit tutorial proposals via email to icsm2001.tutorial@unisannio.it by 12 February 2001.

Lewis Johson (University of Southern California, USA) Riichiro Mizoguchi (Osaka University, Japan) Patrick S. P. Wang (Northeastern University, USA) The 21st century is the age of Internet and World Wide Web. The Web revolutionizes the way we gather, process, and use information. At the same time, it also redefines the meanings and processes of business, commerce, marketing, finance, publishing, education, research, development, as well as other aspects of our daily life. Although individual Web-based information systems are constantly being deployed, advanced issues and techniques for developing and for benefiting from Web intelligence still remain to be systematically studied. Broadly speaking, Web Intelligence (WI) exploits AI and advanced information technology on the Web and Internet. It is the key and the most urgent research field of IT for business intelligence. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) is an international forum for researchers and practitioners (1) to present the state-of-the-art in the development of Web intelligence; (2) to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology; (3) to cross-fertilize ideas on the development of Web-based intelligent information systems among different domains. By idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying foundations and the enabling technologies of Web intelligence, WI'2001 is expected to stimulate the future development of new models, new methodologies, and new tools for building a variety of embodiments of Web-based intelligent information systems. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) is a high-quality, high-impact biennial conference series. It will be jointly held with the Asia-Pacific Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT). TOPICS ====== WI'2001 welcomes submissions of original papers.

In the era of the Internet, businesses and end-users have invested in new technologies and small and large software organizations around the world are looking for Internet related solutions to evolve and maintain their new Internet software products. Internet technologies are strongly impacting system architectures and business processes and rules. In some cases businesses and end-users have been overwhelmed trying to keep up with software development and evolution processes and practices. In addition to novel solutions to enable the life-cycle of new web-based software systems, huge investments are necessary to migrate aginglegacy applications to web-enabled contemporary systems. ICSM 2001 will address these major changes in the software landscape and their impact on maintenance and evolution. The focus of the conference will be to explore the new challenges that the Internet, as a driver for business changes, poses for software maintenance, and the new opportunities it opens as infrastructure and enabling technology. The purpose of the conference is to promote discussion and interaction between researchers and practitioners. We are particularly interested in exchanging concepts, prototypes, research ideas, and other results which could contribute to the academic arena and also benefit business and the industrial community. ICSM 2001 will be participatory, with working collaborative sessions and presentations of industry projects. ICSM 2001 will bring together researchers, practitioners, developers and users of tools, technology transfer experts, and project managers. The Conference will be held in conjunction with: WESS -- the seventh Workshop on Empirical Studies of Software Maintenance. SCAM -- Source Code Analysis and Manipulation WSE -- Workshop on WEBsite Evolution Other workshops are welcome according to the limited available slots. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following aspects of maintenance and evolution: - Methods and theories -Processes and strategies - Organizational frameworks -Life cycle and process control - Design for maintenance -Tools and environments - Internet and distributed systems -Multimedia systems - User interface evolution -Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) - Third party maintenance -Freeware and open source applications - Program comprehension -Software and system visualization - Knowledge based systems -Formal methods - Impact of new software practices -Empirical studies - Software reusability -Programming languages - Source code analysis and manipulation -Testing and regression testing - Models and methods for error prediction -Measurement of software - Maintenance and/or productivity metrics -Preventive maintenance - Personnel aspects of maintenance -Reengineering and reverse engineering - Version and configuration management -Legal aspects and standards - Management and organization -Remote, tele-work, and co-operative applications RESEARCH PAPERS Research papers should describe original and significant work in the research and practice of software maintenance.

Associating meaning with content or establishing a layer of machine understandable data would allow automated agents, sophisticated search engines and interoperable services, will enable higher degree of automation and more intelligent applications. The ultimate goal of the Semantic Web is to allow machines the sharing and exploitation of knowledge in the Web way, i.e. without central authority, with few basic rules, in a scalable, adaptable, extensible manner. With RDF as the basic platform for the Semantic Web, a multitude of tools, methods and systems have just appeared on the horizon. The goal of the workshop is to share experiences about these systems, exchange ideas about improvements of existing tools and creation of new systems, principles and applications. Also an important goal is to develop a cooperation model among Semantic Web developers, and to develop a common vision about the future developments. Relevant workshop topics include (non-exhaustive list): ˇ Language and Representation issues ˇ Semantic Web infrastructure and architectures ˇ Metadata and conceptual models for annotating content, resources, and portals ˇ Automatic annotation/tagging/metadata creation and recommendation ˇ Tools, systems and methodologies for Semantic Web ˇ Application of semantic web technology ˇ Migrating information to semantic formats & Information Filtering ˇ Trust in the Semantic Web ˇ Query languages for the Semantic Web ˇ Information correlation, integration, mediation and brokering on the Web ˇ Resource discovery ˇ Distributed inference services ˇ Semantic Web mining Important Dates Deadline for paper submission 1 Jan 2001 Notification of acceptance 1 Feb 2001 Deadline final contributions 1 Apr 2001 All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. In addition, a few selected best papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the ETAI Semantic Web Journal (http://www.ida.liu.se/ext/etai/). Submission Information We invite contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in topics related to the purpose of the workshop. Persons interested in participating should submit either a technical paper or a position paper addressing new research issues. In addition, we solicit proposals for panel discussions and break-out groups that work towards visions for the semantic web.
