[Dbworld] CFP: "Advanced Knowledge-based Systems" at KES 2008 with Data & Knowledge Engineering Spec Issue

Call for Papers
---------------
Invited Session “Advanced Knowledge-based Systems”
(http://si.deis.unical.it/~cuzzocrea/KES2008/) of the LNCS/LNAI 12nd International Conference on
Knowledge-based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems (KES 2008)
(http://kes2008.kesinternational.org/), September 3-5, 2008, Zagreb, Croatia.

Selected papers from the session will be invited for submission to a special issue of Data & Knowledge
Engineering
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505608/description#description),
Elsevier (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/homepage.cws_home).

Aim and Scope
-------------
Modern intelligent information systems require more and more for advanced knowledge representation,
management, and discovery tools and techniques to be implemented within their core layers. This poses
new challenges on the issue of devising innovative methodologies and paradigms in the context of a broad
umbrella encompassing several research topics ranging from knowledge representation to knowledge
integration, from knowledge management to knowledge processing, from knowledge discovery to
knowledge delivery, and from knowledge security to privacy preserving knowledge. These
argumentations put the basis for a novel class of intelligent systems, the so-called Advanced
Knowledge-based Systems, which should be reasonably intended as intelligent information systems
where knowledge representation, management, and discovery are emphasized in order to achieve complex
functionalities beyond those of traditional information-oriented methodologies.

Advanced Knowledge-based Systems arise in many fields: Advanced Database Management Systems, Advanced
Data Warehouse Systems, Complex Data Mining Tools, OLAP Systems, Machine Learning Tools,
Data/Information Integration Systems, Enterprise Information Systems, Business Information
Systems, Cooperative Information Systems, Collaborative Information Systems, Complex Intelligent
Information Systems, Hybrid Information Systems, Workflow Management Systems, Process Mining

[Dbworld] CFP for PALMS 2008 (with MDM 2008)

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]             
====================================================================             
                      The 2nd International Workshop on 
          Privacy-Aware Location-based Mobile Services (PALMS) 
         In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on 
                     Mobile Data Mangement (MDM'08)
                     April 27 2008, Beijing, China
               http://luckystar.csie.nctu.edu.tw/palms08/

                      ***** CALL FOR PAPERS *****


Theme of the Workshop
=====================

Combining the functionality of location-aware devices, wireless and 
cellular phone technologies, and data management results in enabling 
a new era of location-based mobile services that aim to provide personalized 
services to their customers based on their current locations. Examples of 
such services include location-aware emergency service, location-based 
advertisement, live traffic reports, and location-based store finder. 
Although location-based services promise safety and convenience, they 
threaten the privacy and security for their customers as they rely mainly
on the knowledge of their customers' location information. The current 
model of location-based services trades the customers' privacy with the 
service. If a user wants to keep her private location information, she 
has to turn off her location-aware device and temporarily unsubscribe 
from the service. Recent social studies show that customers become more 
privacy-aware as they tend to avoid using location-based services in order 
to keep their privay. As a result, there is a real concern that the privacy

[Dbworld] Call for Papers - ECDM 2008


                     CALL FOR PAPERS

             FIFTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON 
          EVOLUTION AND CHANGE IN DATA MANAGEMENT
                       (ECDM 2008) 

         Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, October 2008

             to be held in conjunction with the 
 27th International Conference on Conceptual Modelling, ER 2008

         http://www-db.deis.unibo.it/events/ECDM08/

Change is a fundamental but sometimes neglected aspect of information 
and database systems. The management of evolution and change and the 
ability for database, information and knowledge-based systems to deal 
with change is an essential component in developing and maintaining 
truly useful systems. Many approaches to handling evolution and change 
have been proposed in various areas of data management and this forum 
seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from both more 
established areas and those from emerging areas to look at this issue. 
The fifth ECDM workshop (the first four ECDM workshops were held with 
ER'99 in Paris, France, with ER'02 in Tampere, Finland, with ER'04 
in Shanghai, China and with ER'06 in Tucson, Arizona) will deal with 
the manner in which change can be handled, and the semantics of 
evolving data and data structure in computer based systems.
