The Manufacturing Systems Integration Division of the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the anticipated support of the National Science Foundation (NSF), will sponsor a workshop on the difficult problem of "measuring" semantics. The practical application domain is information exchange in the manufacturing enterprise - primarily of models and information about models. The applicability of resulting research and related standards is expected to be broad, certainly extending to "knowledge management." The sponsors aspire to identify existing formal methods, their relative strengths and weaknesses. They intend to develop a roadmap toward standards and technologies that benefit industrial users. Preliminary efforts in this area have revealed significant open issues and resulting controversies; therefore, something more than a state of the art review is sought. Participants will be encouraged to synthesize approaches based on a scenario and associated issues. The location will be at the NIST campus, Gaithersburg MD, north of Washington DC. An honorarium for participants is anticipated, but not yet guaranteed. *Scenario Outline: Characterization of Semantic Conveyance.* One party has modeled information, perhaps about a state-rich collaborative process involving many partners. That party transmits information to another whose native methods, (and perhaps ontology) differ. Probably the recipient is a collaborator in the process modeled. In the general case the semantics will be "translated" imperfectly. Both parties will wish to know how perfect was the semantic conveyance; if imperfect, each party wishes to know the extent or "distance" of the imperfection. Do the imperfections matter or were the losses "unimportant?" What might this mean for downstream communication? These questions may be a matter of extent (simple tolerances) or context (whether important details were lost). NIST's special concern is the development of metrics to characterize the conveyance, translation and situating of such semantics. Issues may include: - Whether to characterize an absolute "semantic space," and/or to characterize "end-points" in order to determine distance. Alternatively whether a simpler difference can be determined. - What theory is the best foundation and what expressions of that theory have a workable balance with usability; should there be competing theories; is a new interdisciplinary approach required? - Are there different types of semantic distance with unique costs and consequences? - Can the candidate solutions be extended to the problems of indexing and search to support model component libraries. - Can the solution be scaled to more general problems from the domain of manufacturing? - What does it mean to maintain and certify relevant standards? How do the notions map to existing standards and practices in the manufacturing enterprise? What should be the relationship with developing notions for a "semantic web." *Contact Information* The workshop is by invitation only, limited to 25 participants. Ted Goranson is handling logistics and is the point of contact for invitations and questions, tedg@sirius-beta.com, 757/426-6704. The NIST point of contact is Al Jones, jonesa@cme.nist.gov, 301/975-3554. *Schedule* The workshop is planned for two and a half days. The morning of the first two days is blocked for introduction to the problem and presentations by participants. These should not be stock presentations; they are "off the record" and should speak to the specific nature of the problem. (Pre-workshop discussion with the organizers would be desirable.) The afternoons will be occupied by two parallel breakout sessions: one will be concerned with comparative approaches, their tradeoffs and benefits; possible synthetic approaches; mappings to existing practice; and the nature of the resulting metric. A second group will tackle the problem from the metrics perspective, working backward. They will be concerned with issues of practice (with a heavy emphasis on test cases), validation, use of the metrics and maintenance of the standard(s). On the second day, the groups will swap topics and moderators. (Moderators will be announced in a later flier, together with an outline of possible working issues.) The morning of the third day will synthesize the results and produce near and longer term recommendations. Steps toward a high payoff program are expected. -end -- Ted Goranson Advanced Enterprise Research Office ---- The ICEIMT hypermail/searchable archives may be found at URL: http://tools.org/EI/ICEIMT/ From aa@cs.okstate.edu Wed Jul 16 14:50:52 CDT 2003 >From aa@cs.okstate.edu Wed Jul 16 14:50:40 2003 Received: from csa.cs.okstate.edu (a.cs.okstate.edu [139.78.113.1]) by dns.obgyn.net (8.11.6/8.11.6/dsb-1.1) with ESMTP id h6GJobj11483 for ; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 14:50:38 -0500 Received: from cs.okstate.edu (osut13-14.osu-tulsa.okstate.edu [192.234.13.14]) by csa.cs.okstate.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B352A0682 for ; Wed, 16 Jul 2003 14:50:37 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <3F15AC8F.6080900@cs.okstate.edu> Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 14:50:39 -0500 From: Ajith Abraham Reply-To: ajith.abraham@ieee.org Organization: Oklahoma State University, Tulsa User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: iceimt@dns.obgyn.net Subject: HIS'03 - Final Call for Papers Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit **** HIS'03 - Final Call for Papers **** 3rd International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'03) December 14 - 17, 2003 Melbourne, Australia URL: http://his03.hybridsystem.com ******************************************************************** Deadline for Paper Submission: July 31, 2003 ******************************************************************** HIS'03 is technically co-sponsored by: - IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics - The World Federation on Soft Computing - International Fuzzy Systems Association - Australian Computer Society - European Neural Network Society - European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology - European Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing - IOS Press Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of the next generation of intelligent systems.

With a population of about 300.000, it is the country's second most important city in terms of economic output and cultural influence. Porto made its name over two centuries ago because of its connection with the Porto wine industry. It was elected as "Porto 2001: European Capital of Culture" and recently designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage City, a fitting recognition not only for its granite sculpted beauty, but also for the unforgettable panorama of its historic centre with narrow streets and typical houses arrayed like a cascade right down to the river, and for its passionate history which determined the country's destiny. The city's symbols are the "Rabelo" boat, which can still be found docked on the banks of the river, the baroque Clérigos Tower (built by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni) and the century-old iron bridges, one of them designed by Gustave Eiffel. Porto is also at the heart of a knowledge and business intensive region, offering several universities and research institutes, which stimulate a strong connection with industry, the service sector and IT enterprises. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ SECRETARIAT ICEIS-2004 Secretariat Rua Vale Chaves, EST, Campus IPS Estefanilha, 2910-761 Setúbal - Portugal E-mail for paper submission and proceedings: secretariat@iceis.org Web: http://www.iceis.org/ ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ DETAILED TOPIC LIST: Each of the topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive.

Thanks to its recent marriage with Web Services and the Semantic Web. While the Semantic Web + Web Services emphasizes on the interoperability of different on-line systems, the Grid complements it by providing the infrastructure to handle large-scale distributed enterprises information systems. We envision that the success of using the Grid for distributed system integration will reply on how to have the resources of the Grid, with its increasing scale and complexity, well managed. ``Grid intelligence'' refers to a newly emerging research field focusing on how the data and information available on different levels of Grid services (e.g., HTML/XML/RDF/... documents, hyperlinks, Web usage, service response time, service quality, ...) can be carefully acquired, preprocessed, represented, interchanged, integrated and eventually converted into unique intelligences (knowledge) -- to enhance the overall Grid performance. Related research issues include intelligent mechanisms for resource specification, discovery, brokering/matchmaking, scheduling, negotiation, etc. Agent-based technologies address the autonomy, socialablity, adaptability and goal-driven properties of software systems and thus provide the most suitable computing paradigm for the dynamically changing Grid environment. As higher-level knowledge is going to play a more important role in the future Grid applications (e.g., e-science, e-business), issues related to knowledge representation, discovery, integration, interchange of different types of media in a distributed environment have to be carefully addressed. Related Web intelligence techniques including data mining and knowledge discovery, text and multimedia content analysis, semantic information extraction and integration, ontology engineering, etc. can be applied. We believe that eventually the Data Grid and Computational Grid can integrated with the "Knowledge Grid", making a lot of used-to-be complicated and computationally expensive tasks truly just-in-time and on-demand. Some related areas are listed as but not limited to: - Web intelligence solutions for knowledge grids - Data/Information/Knowledge Grids integration, mediation and middleware - Knowledge representation and ontology learning - Data mining and knowledge discovery in distributed datasets - Text and multimedia content analysis and indexing - Semantic Web mining and metadata generation - Semantically interoperable Web services - Knowledge management in Grid environment - Agent-based Workflow systems - Applications in e.g., e-science (computation, visualization), e-business (distributed system integration) - Agent architectures on and for the Grid - Agent decision making model - Self-organizing systems and emergent organization - Distributed problem solving on the grids - Distributed coordination - Collective, self-organized intelligence - Modeling and characterization of agent dynamics - Coalition formation - Conflicts, conflict resolution and negotiation - Grid service and policy semantics and ontologies - Grid service creation, advertisement, registration, contract creation, delivery - Robust/automonic/self-organized mechanisms for Grid service discovery, matchmaking, scheduling and resource management - Computational economy - Online negotiation of access to Grid services - Grid service usage policy management and enforcement - Dynamic formation and management of virtual organizations in Grid - Security, privacy and agents Important Dates: September 1, 2003 Deadline for submission of papers September 14, 2003 Notification of acceptance September 26, 2003 Final copy due October 13, 2003 Workshop Submissions: Submitted papers should be formatted in the style of IEEE-Computer Society Format: http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm The page limit for the final version is 12 pages.

The conference invites original papers, review papers, technical reports and case studies on WWW in particular the emerging role of so-called WWW-based Communities. Domain: It is increasingly important for our culture to bring people together and to promote dynamics in professional organizations, mutual understanding, learning and harmony. Creating "virtual communities" is one major way to do this. The Web Based Communities 2004 conference aims at sharing and aggregating scientifically proven methods on how to organize and moderate WWW-based communities. These communities do not limit participants to particular locations - the international and multicultural dimension is a most challenging one. Good WWW communities undergo a continuous evolution and adapt to the changing world. The nature of these communities can be corporate, scientific, social or educational. Pragmatic questions which need to be addressed include: What software tools are the most adequate and how to use them? How to promote your community so that new members can find it? How to protect the members' privacy? How to moderate discussions and how to provide information that people can use? How to create and maintain a sense of trust and commitment among the members? In addition, sociology, education, communication and philosophy issues are addressed as the main disciplines reflected in building WWW-based communities, although critical theories on societies and post-modernism are also relevant starting points. New and imminent technologies will be discussed. Objectives: The Web Based Communities 2004 Conference aims at bringing together new vital understanding of WWW communities and what new initiatives mean. Each new perspective is potentially a catalyst for finding new architectures. National and regional-oriented communities may soon be relegated to a subordinate position compared to interest-oriented communities. Multiculturalism, critical thinking, expressing aesthetic aspects of our identity, and finding sparring partners for sharpening our ideologies, are all processes that need the new communication infrastructures. The targeted audience is scientists and members and moderators of WWW communities who feel responsible for optimizing its quality and effect. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The better papers will be candidate for the recently-started "International Journal of Web Based Communities" (IJWBC); ISSN: 1477 - 8394 [4 issues per year] * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium.

It is a framework that integrates business aspects including business planning, business operations, automation and the enabling technological infrastructure. Enterprise architectures are disclosed by means of views; typically, stakeholders of an enterprise access and use the architecture through views offering the information they need presented in a user-friendly format and supported by useful analysis techniques. In general, a view is generated from a viewpoint, which is a template defining the concerns of the addressed stakeholders, the content of the view, its presentation format and the supported analysis techniques. Enterprise architecture is a powerful instrument in successfully managing large and complex organisations. It provides insight into the enterprise's operations and relations with its environment, and establishes meaningful and useful relations between different aspects of the enterprise, which may already be captured in domain-specific architectures. Changes within the enterprise or in its environment can be interpreted in terms of the architecture and acted upon effectively; EA helps organisations to become flexible, robust against change, and agile to react to opportunities and (new) developments. This special issue of Information Systems Frontiers invites contributions to the theory and application of enterprise architecture languages, tools and methods. Topics include but are not limited to: frameworks concepts, ontologies, metamodels adaptable metamodels formal semantics analysis techniques model checking model integration specification of viewpoints automatic view generation visualisation, usability, readability methods and best practices tool support tool integration case reports standards Manuscripts may be submitted electronically as Word or PDF documents to one of the guest editors: Hugo ter Doest Telematica Instituut P.O.

With a population of about 300.000, it is the country's second most important city in terms of economic output and cultural influence. Porto made its name over two centuries ago because of its connection with the Porto wine industry. It was elected as "Porto 2001: European Capital of Culture" and recently designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage City, a fitting recognition not only for its granite sculpted beauty, but also for the unforgettable panorama of its historic centre with narrow streets and typical houses arrayed like a cascade right down to the river, and for its passionate history which determined the country's destiny. The city's symbols are the "Rabelo" boat, which can still be found docked on the banks of the river, the baroque Clérigos Tower (built by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni) and the century-old iron bridges, one of them designed by Gustave Eiffel. Porto is also at the heart of a knowledge and business intensive region, offering several universities and research institutes, which stimulate a strong connection with industry, the service sector and IT enterprises. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ SECRETARIAT ICEIS-2004 Secretariat Rua Vale Chaves, EST, Campus IPS Estefanilha, 2910-761 Setúbal - Portugal E-mail for paper submission and proceedings: secretariat@iceis.org Web: http://www.iceis.org/ ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ DETAILED TOPIC LIST: Each of the topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive.

Has anybody been involved with supply chain instability studies in this area? Or can anyone point me to previous related studies? I have screened through past e-mails exchanged in this listserv and it indicates that discussions around this topic did not take place. I am a Ph.D. student working on investigating the impacts of "flexible kanban systems" on the on-time-delivery performance of pull systems from a System Dynamics modeling and simulation point of view. In this case, a flexible kanban system differs from a "traditional kanban system" (as originally proposed at Toyota) in the sense that the number of kanban cards regulating the levels of work in process inventory is allowed to change over time during production cycles. "Traditional" pull systems using kanbans tend to keep the number of cards constant during production cycles and only change their number in the event of major changes in production capacity. Thanks you for your attention! Sincerely, George ___________________________________________________________ George W. L.

The conference invites original papers, review papers, technical reports and case studies on WWW in particular the emerging role of so-called WWW-based Communities. Domain: It is increasingly important for our culture to bring people together and to promote dynamics in professional organizations, mutual understanding, learning and harmony. Creating "virtual communities" is one major way to do this. The Web Based Communities 2004 conference aims at sharing and aggregating scientifically proven methods on how to organize and moderate WWW-based communities. These communities do not limit participants to particular locations - the international and multicultural dimension is a most challenging one. Good WWW communities undergo a continuous evolution and adapt to the changing world. The nature of these communities can be corporate, scientific, social or educational. Pragmatic questions which need to be addressed include: What software tools are the most adequate and how to use them? How to promote your community so that new members can find it? How to protect the members' privacy? How to moderate discussions and how to provide information that people can use? How to create and maintain a sense of trust and commitment among the members? In addition, sociology, education, communication and philosophy issues are addressed as the main disciplines reflected in building WWW-based communities, although critical theories on societies and post-modernism are also relevant starting points. New and imminent technologies will be discussed. Objectives: The Web Based Communities 2004 Conference aims at bringing together new vital understanding of WWW communities and what new initiatives mean. Each new perspective is potentially a catalyst for finding new architectures. National and regional-oriented communities may soon be relegated to a subordinate position compared to interest-oriented communities. Multiculturalism, critical thinking, expressing aesthetic aspects of our identity, and finding sparring partners for sharpening our ideologies, are all processes that need the new communication infrastructures. The targeted audience is scientists and members and moderators of WWW communities who feel responsible for optimizing its quality and effect. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The better papers will be candidate for the recently-started "International Journal of Web Based Communities" (IJWBC); ISSN: 1477 - 8394 [4 issues per year] * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium.

To continue with this tradition, the tenth ACM SIGKDD conference will provide a forum for researchers from academia, industry, and government, developers, practitioners, and the data mining user community to share their research and experience. The SIGKDD conference will feature keynote presentations, oral paper presentations, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials, and panels, as well as the KDD Cup competition. Papers on all aspects of knowledge discovery and data mining are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Applications of data mining (biomedical, e-commerce, defense) - Data and result visualization - Data mining and data warehousing - Data mining for community generation, social network analysis, and graph-structured data - Foundations of data mining - KDD framework and process - Mining data streams - Mining high-dimensional data - Mining text and semi-structured data - Multi-media data mining - Novel data mining algorithms - Spatial and temporal data mining - Security and privacy issues - Interactive and online data mining - Pre-processing and post-processing for data mining - Robust and scalable statistical methods Abstracts and full papers must be submitted electronically at the conference Web site (see URL above). Abstracts must be submitted on or before February 20, 2004, 12 noon PST (Pacific Standard Time). An abstract may not contain more than 250 words. No paper will be considered without having the abstract submitted on time. Full papers must be submitted on or before February 27, 2004, at 12 noon PST. This is a FIRM deadline. Papers must be no more than 10 pages in length, inclusive of all figures, tables, references and appendices. Papers should be submitted in ACM proceedings format (two columns, 9pt font, approx. 1in margins). Templates are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Authors are solely responsible for ensuring that their submissions display and print properly. All papers will be judged based on their technical merits, originality, relevance to KDD, and presentation clarity. Papers should describe original work that has not been published before, is not under review elsewhere, and may not be submitted elsewhere during KDD-2004's review period (specialized workshops with a limited audience excluded). A separate call is being issued for industrial/government track papers; see the conference Web site at the URL above. Reviewers can assign research track submissions to the industrial/government track and vice-versa, if they feel this to be more appropriate. Calls for workshop, tutorial and panel proposals can also be found at the conference Web site. The KDD-2004 Best Paper awards recognize the best paper in two categories: fundamental research and applications/applied research. Fundamental research papers are judged by the significance and originality of their contribution. Applications/applied research papers are judged by the practical impact and current or potential usefulness of the work. In both cases, the clarity and quality of presentation are also considered. KDD-2004 will also award scholarships to selected students to help defray the cost of participating in the conference. Details will appear on the conference Web site.
