ICWS 2004 Call for Papers
----------------------------------------------------------

ICWS is a forum for researchers and industry practitioner to exchange information regarding
advancements in the state of art research and practice of Web Services, to identify emerging research
topics, and to define the future directions of Web Services computing. ICWS 2004 has special interest in
papers that contribute to the convergence of Web Services, Grid Computing, e-Business and Autonomic
Computing, or those that apply techniques from one area to another. The industry application areas that
are of interest are business-to-business integration, business process integration and management,
content management, e-sourcing, composite Web services creation, design collaboration for computer
engineering, multimedia communication, digital TV, and interactive Web solutions. Currently, Grid
computing has also started to leverage Web services to define standard interfaces for Business Grid
services and generic reusable Grid resources.

As the first academic conference in the field of Web services, the 2003 First International Conference on
Web Services (ICWS'03) was held at the Monte Carlo Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 23 - 26, 2003,

CFP: Encyclopedia of Knowledge Management


Encyclopedia of Knowledge Management 

Preliminary Call For Articles 

The Encyclopedia of Knowledge Management will be a research reference work documenting the past,
present, and possible future directions of knowledge management.  Knowledge Management has evolved
into one of the most important streams of management research, affecting organizations of all types at
many different levels.  The challenges of knowledge management span everything from knowledge
identification and representation, to the impact of Knowledge Management Systems on organizational
culture, to the significant integration and cost issues being faced by Human Resources, MIS/IT, and
production departments.  Knowledge Management theories, models, systems, and applications abound -
each dealing with some aspect of an increasingly complex field spanning organizational theory,
strategic management, and information technology.

This volume will provide a broad basis for understanding the issues, technologies, theories,
applications, opportunities and challenges being faced by organizations today in their quest for
knowledge management.

The Encyclopedia of Knowledge Management will feature short articles (3,000-3,500 words) authored by
leading experts offering an in-depth description of key issues, terms and concepts related to different
areas in Knowledge Management.  In addition, this volume will provide a compendium of terms, definitions
and explanations of concepts, processes and acronyms.  

Editorial Advisory Board (in formation) 
                Monica Divitini - Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology

First CFP for 2nd International Workshop on Biological Data Management (BIDM 2004)

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message]

 CALL FOR PAPER

2nd International Workshop on Biological Data Management (BIDM'04)
(In conjunction with DEXA 2004, Zaragoza, Spain)

URL: http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/assourav/bidm/2004/bidm.htm
URL: http://www.dexa.org

Technological advances in high-throughput techniques and efficient data gathering methods
coupled with a world wide effort  in computational biology have resulted in a vast amount 
of life science data often available in distributed  and heterogeneous repositories. These 
repositories contain interesting information such as sequence and structure data, annotations
for biological data, results of complex and expensive computations, bio-medical publications,
and so on. Newer and more sophisticated computational techniques to  analyze such data are 
also being developed and made available for public use at a rapid pace. Nonetheless, the 
multiplicity in the objectives, methods, representation, and platforms of these data sources 
and analysis tools have created an urgent and immediate need for research in resource 
integration and platform independent processing ofinvestigative queries involving 
heterogeneous data sources and analysis tools. It is now universally recognized that a 
database approach to analysis and management of biological data offers a convenient, high 
level, and efficient alternative to high volume biological data processing and management. 
Advances in database integration, query processing, web technology, work flow systems, and 
object-orientation can be leveraged to develop novel high-performance data management systems 
for biological applications.

Following the success of the 1st International Workshop on Biological Data Management last 
year, we are pleased to invite original contributions in  biological data management and 
analysis for the 2nd International Workshop on Biological Data Management to be held in

Last CFP for ClustWeb - EDBT'04 Workshop on Clustering Information over the Web

--- apologies if you receive this message more than once ---

Clustering Information over the Web

International Workshop in conjunction with  
Int'l Conference on Extending Database Technology - EDBT 2004 - http://www.edbt04.gr

Date/Location :      March 14, 2004 / Heraklion - Crete, Greece

	
Summary
Web data management has become a critical emerging research area, due to the exponential 
increase in the information circulation and dissemination over the Web. Several research efforts 
have already appeared in the area of Web data mining and this field seems to be of interest for 
a wide academic and technical community.  This workshop focuses on clustering information 
over the Web, as a mostly emerging topic in current web data mining efforts. It will be important 
to understand how the accessing to Web information (such as documents, link paths, and users 
on the Web), is benefited by employing clustering mechanisms and methodologies. 

Aim and Scope
This workshop aims to attract contributions in relation to clustering Web-related information towards:
* increasing Web information accessibility,
* decreasing lengths in Web navigation pathways, 
* improving Web users requests servicing,
* integrating various data representation standards, 
* extending current Web information organization practices.
New research ideas or practices in the above area are of high importance due to the difficulties

LAST CFP - PERVASIVE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT -

------------------------------------------------------------
  LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------

  PERVASIVE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

  International Workshop held in conjunction with EDBT 2004
  March 18, 2004, Heraklion - Crete, Greece

  http://www.dbs.ethz.ch/~tuerker/edbtpim/

------------------------------------------------------------

Wireless connectivity along with increasingly small and 
powerful mobile devices and sensors enables a wide 
range of new applications that will radically change the 
way information is managed and processed today. 
Information becomes ubiquitous, highly distributed and 
at the same time accessible from everywhere at any time. 
Information access takes place in highly dynamic and 
instable networks. Nevertheless, users and application 
developers will expect information processing to 
continue under similar guarantees as those offered by 
today's stationary and more or less centralized systems, 
even if some nodes of the pervasive information network 
are (temporarily) disconnected and/or are in motion. 
Examples for these guarantees are the ones given by 
database management systems, e.g., consistency and 
durability of data. Additional challenges stem from the 
fact that mobile devices, in particular embedded devices
