Call for Posters: LA-Web 2006

Call for Posters

LA-WEB 2006 Fourth Latin American Web Congress
October 25-27, 2006
Universidad de las Américas-Puebla Cholula, México
http://ict.udlap.mx/la-web2006

LA-Web 2006 is the fourth of a series of refereed conferences aimed at
providing a venue in Latin America for researchers and technologists
from around the world to present, demonstrate and discuss the latest
Web developments. Previous editions of LA-Web have taken place in
Santiago, Chile (2003), São Paulo, Brazil (2004), and Buenos Aires,
Argentina (2005). LA-Web 2006 will be held at the beautiful campus of
the Universidad de las Americas-Puebla, in Central Mexico.

Keynote speakers:
Bonnie Nardi (UCI) and Hector Garcia-Molina (Stanford Univ.).

Posters are a great means for researchers and students to share their
work in an interactive forum by displaying the context and preliminary
results of their work in a visual manner. Posters also promote direct
contact among conference participants who share research interests and
make research work visible during the entire conference. Additionally,
specific times for poster discussion will be scheduled as part of the
conference program.

Topics include but are not limited to:
* Browsers and user interfaces
* E-commerce, E-Science, E-government and E-Learning
* Digital libraries

RCUK Fellowship in Information Retrieval.

RCUK Fellowship in Information Retrieval.

Five year fellowship will be held in the Department of Computing Science
leading to a lectureship in Computing Science. 

The Information Retrieval group at Glasgow, led by Professor Keith van
Rijsbergen, plays a leading role in the international information
retrieval community. Research is based on both theory and experiment,
aiming at giving end-users novel, effective, and efficient access to the
world of multi-media information.

The Department of Computing Science provides a world leading environment
for research, with research focussed in 7 groups (Bioinformatics,
Computer Vision & Graphics, Embedded, Networked, and Distributed
Systems, Formal Analysis, Theory and Algorithms, Human Computer
Interaction, Information Retrieval and  Software Engineering and
Technology).

For further information about the information retrieval group and the
Department,  see the websites at http://ir.dcs.gla.ac.uk/ and
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/. 

Potential candidates are encouraged to make informal enquiries to
Professor Keith van Rijsbergen (tel. 0141 330 4463, email
keith@...) or Professor Muffy Calder (tel. 0141 330 4969,
email muffy@...).

[CFP] DEADLINE EXTENSION Scalable Semantic Web Knowledge Base Systems (SSWS 2006)


Due to many last minute requests the deadline will be postponed to

                        *August 4th, 2006*

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

                         CALL FOR PAPERS
                 Second International Workshop on
        *Scalable Semantic Web Knowledge Base Systems (SSWS 2006)*

               http://www.cs.vu.nl/~holger/ssws2006/

                      November 5 or 6, 2006

		           during
	5th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2006)

  This workshop aims at creating a forum for discussing a critical
  issue for the Semantic Web, that is, scalability. As the Semantic
  Web evolves, scalability becomes increasingly important. This
  workshop will focus on addressing of the scalability issue
  with respect to the development and deployment of knowledge
  base systems on the Semantic Web. Typically, such systems deal
  with information described in Semantic Web languages like OWL
  and RDF(S), and provide services such as storing, reasoning,
  querying and debugging. There are two basic requirements for
  these systems. First, they have to satisfy the applicationÚs
  semantic requirements by providing sufficient reasoning support.
  Second, they must scale well in order to be of practical use.
