[Dbworld] ACM/IEEE MEDES-Student/PhD Workshop : extented deadline

Apologize for cross-postings

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please, find enclosed to this email the PDF version of this Call For Paper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM/IEEE MEDES 2009 Student/PhD Workshop

In conjunction with the International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems
Lyon – France, October 27-30, 2009

http://sigappfr.acm.org/medes

EXTENDED DEADLINE: July 31, 2009.

Description and Objectives
--------------------------
The ACM/IEEE MEDES-SW 09 aims at facilitating interactions among young researchers and at offering
students the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas about current and future works.

We encourage Master degree students and doctoral PhD students to submit a paper relating their work.
Papers should clearly describe the problem (a clear formulation of the research topic), explain why it is
important, detail what are the existing solutions and why they are not convenient, and give a description
of the proposed approach and its expected contributions.
There should be enough substance to provide discussion, but the work does not need to be complete.

Topics
-------
Student Workshop topics are similar to main conference topics.

                    Udine, Italy
            http://games2009.dimi.uniud.it/

               CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

GAMES is an European Network pursuing research and 
training on the design and verification of computing 
systems, in a framework that is based on the interplay 
of finite and infinite games, mathematical logic, and 
automata theory. 

For details, see www.games.rwth-aachen.de/

PROGRAMME:
As in previous years, GAMES 2009 will be an informal 
workshop, without proceedings. Its programme consists 
of three invited introductory tutorial (90 min), 5 
invited advanced tutorials (90 min), contributed talks 
(25 min) and short presentations (15 min). 
Contributed talks and short presentations will be 
selected by the programme committee on the basis of 
submitted abstracts.

[Dbworld] Deadline Extention: 2nd Workshop on Software Engineering for Answer Set Programming (SEA'09)

[apologies for multiple posts; please distribute]
-------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

Software Engineering for Answer Set Programming 2009 (SEA'09)
Potsdam, Germany, 18 September 2009
http://sea09.cs.bath.ac.uk/

Co-located with the 10th International Conference on Logic Programming
and Nonmonotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2009) 
http://www.cs.uni-potsdam.de/lpnmr09/

OVERVIEW

Over the last ten years, answer set programming (ASP) has grown from a
pure theoretical knowledge representation and reasoning formalism to a
computational approach with a very strong formal backing. At present,
ASP is seen as the computational embodiment of non-monotonic reasoning
incorporating techniques of databases, knowledge representation, logic
and constraint programming. ASP has become an appealing tool for
knowledge representation and reasoning and thanks to the increasing
efficiency of the implementations of ASP solvers, the field has now
started to tackle many industrially-relevant applications.

Writing complex programs in any language is not an easy task, with ASP
being no exception. Most of the modern popular programming languages
have an abundance of tools and development methodologies to facilitate
and improve the coding process. Given the differences in for example
language design, execution, and application domains for languages

[Dbworld] Call for Papers

The aim of the workshop is to present topical and innovative research utilizing intelligent
context-aware computing technologies to address theoretical and practical issues in a diverse and
heterogeneous range of application domains and systems which include (but not limited to): Ubiquitous
Health Care, Ubiquitous Mobile Learning, Pervasive Emergency Management, Mobile Information
Systems, Wireless and Networked Systems. 

An important issue that impacts intelligent context is the design and development of a suitable database
schema in a relational database schema capable of implementing RDF/S and OWL. The workshop is seeking
research papers on database and knowledge management issues in context-aware systems.
