**** Deadline Extension ***** The deadline of paper submission to the P2PKM'04 workshop is extended to July 5th. [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] **** CALL FOR PAPERS ***** International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management (P2PKM) -- www.p2pkm.org -- August 22, 2004 - Boston, Massachusetts, USA Collocated with MobiQuitous 2004 (www.mobiquitous.org) Scope of workshop ----------------- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has received significant attention from the side of research labs and academia, largely due to the popularity of commercialized P2P file sharing applications such as Napster, Morpheus and KaZaa. In the P2P model, peers exchange data and/or services in completely decentralized distributed manner.

The convergence of P2P and KM creates new challenges for researchers to address: new methodologies to model, design, and deploy distributed KM solutions; theories and algorithms to represent the social and semantic dimensions of a knowledge network; mechanisms to cope with the dynamic autonomous nature of P2P and to provide means to support emergent network self-organization. New technologies should be provided in order to support full operational functioning of P2P KM systems, ensuring high extensibility of the solutions along several dimensions, such as scalability in the number of peers, size and kind of supported knowledge bases, level of heterogeneity in knowledge representation, robustness, etc. Various technologies can contribute to P2P KM solutions: Semantic Web, with new instruments for knowledge representation, in particular ontologies, as well as with (totally) mechanized means for locating, retrieving and processing of data; database technology, with formal semantics for P2P data sharing; multi agent technology, with innovation solutions of agent-mediated knowledge management; and so on. The P2PKM workshop is intended to serve as an active forum for researchers and practitioners, where they will have the possibility to exchange and discuss research results, novel ideas and experiences, laying in the intersection of the P2P, KM and Semantic Web, database, multi agent, as well as other related technologies. It aims at provoking a discussion around the hypothesis of convergence of P2P and KM areas, and, in particular, at exploring synergies among those that need to provide a distributed technological answer to the distributed management of knowledge, and those that are interested in exploring the substantial implications of the P2P paradigm on important aspects of organizational life such as KM.

MobiQuitous 2004, Call for PARTICIPATION

by Stefano Basagni

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail. ************************ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ************************** MobiQuitous 2004 The First Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Service http://mobiquitous.org/ August 22-26, 200, Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, Massachusetts USA Held in cooperation with AAAI, IEEE Computer Society, ACM SIGMOBILE and the European Union's IST program ************************************************************************** MobiQuitous 2004 is the first of a series of annual conferences focusing on the latest research in the rapidly growing area of mobile and ubiquitous computing. The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both, may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless networking technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. The First Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Services will cover all these aspects, representing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact, exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include: applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, knowledge management and databases. KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Prof. Mahadev Satyanarayanan, Carnagie Mellon University. TECHNICAL PROGRAM: 47 papers have been accepted for presentation and for publication in the conference proceedings. The advance program can be found online at the conference web page. TUTORIALS AND PANELS: Four half-day tutorials (security in public wireless networks, localization and tracking in ubiquitous systems, data management aspects of mobile and ubiquitous computing, semantic web services) and three panels (featuring topics such as the state-of-the-art and the potential for future developments in mobile and ubiquitous computing, and the mobile/ubiquitous computing security) will complement the technical program. WORKSHOPS: A-SWAN Workshop (AlgorithmS for Wireless And mobile Networks), P2PKM 2004 Workshop (The First International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management), PSPT 2004 Workshop (First Workshop on Pervasive Security, Privacy and Trust), SANPA 2004 Workshop (Second International Workshop on Sensor and Actor Network Protocols and Applications) will be held in conjunction with the main conference. DEMOS: The demo sessions will include more than a dozen demonstrations featuring technologies that enable the wired and wireless networking infrastructure for ubiquitous computing along with applications that showcase novel user experiences in environments of complex but invisible computing infrastructure. VENUE: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) at 5 Cambridge Parkway, Cambridge, MA 02142-1299 for Conference participants. Please make your hotel arrangements early in order to insure getting a room at the special conference rate.

by SZOLLOSY Sebestyén András

Meghívó A Magyar Alkalmazott Nyelvészek és Nyelvtanárok Egyesülete, a Magyar Szemiotikai Társaság és a Szimmetria Kör tisztelettel meghívja tagjait és minden érdeklodot 2004-es évadzáró közös nyilvános ülésére. Az ülés díszvendége Solomon Marcus professor emeritus, a Bukaresti Egyetem nyugalmazott matematika professzora, a matematikai nyelvészet egyik megalapítója. Angol nyelven tartandó eloadásának címe: IN THE PALINDROMIC WORLD (A palindromok világában) Az ülés idopontja: 2004. június 28. hétfo du. 2 óra Az ülés helye: Eötvös Lóránd Tudományegyetem, Bölcsészettudományi Kar, (Általános és Alkalmazott Nyelvészeti Tanszék) Budapest VIII.

Nyelvészeti Tanszék vezetoje a MANYE fotitkára Solomon Marcus professzor eloadása a MANYE, a Magyar Szemiotikai Társaság és a Szimmetria Kör rendezésében az ELTE BTK D épület I. emeleti nagyeloadójában 2004. június 28-án hétfon, du. 2-tol: A palindromok világában A palindrom olyan sorozat, amely azonos saját megfordításával. Példának okáért: aba, abccba, ababa. A palindromok világa a leheto legkisebb komplexitású tükörszimmetria világa. Ez az oka annak, hogy a komplexitás fogalmának megközelítéséhez vezeto egyik út alapkövének tartják. A palindromikus 2002-es év alkalmat adott arra, hogy áttekintsük a palindromikus dátumok sorát a történelemben. Mind a természetes nyelvekben, mind a matematikai nyelvben vannak palindrom szerkezetek; a sakk, és más hasonló játékok pedig ilyen felépítésu helyzeteken alapulnak. A szimmetria egy vonalon, illetve egy síkon egy egyeneshez, vagy a térben egy síkhoz képest hasonló palindrom helyzeteket jelenítenek meg. Az úgynevezett végtelen szavak többnyire nem nélkülözhetik a nem triviális palindromokat, sot, palindromikus komplexitásuk fontos paraméter. Mindenkit szeretettel várunk!

2nd CFP: International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management (P2PKM)

by Ilya Zaihrayeu

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] **** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ***** **NEWS: added invited talks** International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management (P2PKM) -- www.p2pkm.org -- August 22, 2004 - Boston, Massachusetts, USA Collocated with MobiQuitous 2004 (www.mobiquitous.org) Scope of workshop ----------------- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has received significant attention from the side of research labs and academia, largely due to the popularity of commercialized P2P file sharing applications such as Napster, Morpheus and KaZaa. In the P2P model, peers exchange data and/or services in completely decentralized distributed manner. Peers are autonomous, and are free to choose what other peers to interact with, and, in this point-to-point interaction, peers possess equal functional capabilities. On the other hand, Knowledge Management (KM) is increasingly viewed as a core capacity in order to compete in the modern social and economic environment. Researchers and practitioners agree that those intellectual assets that are embedded in working practices, social relationships, and technological artefacts constitute the only source of value that can sustain long term differentiation, quality of services, innovation, and adaptability. Nonetheless, even due to a debatable success of current KM implementations, still unclear is how such matter should be managed in highly complex, distributed, and heterogeneous settings. In the last couple of years, P2P and KM have followed different but converging paths. In fact, P2P technologies have left their initial "computational", "anarchoyd", and spontaneous fashion to embrace more service level domains and business settings. On the other hand, KM is questioning its centralized assumption based on the implicit belief that knowledge is managed successfully when it can be standardized and controlled. In this sense, it seems that while P2P is looking for value added domains to better exploit its technological potential, KM is looking for a technological paradigm more able to fit an emerging distributed organization of knowledge. The convergence of P2P and KM creates new challenges for researchers to address: new methodologies to model, design, and deploy distributed KM solutions; theories and algorithms to represent the social and semantic dimensions of a knowledge network; mechanisms to cope with the dynamic autonomous nature of P2P and to provide means to support emergent network self-organization. New technologies should be provided in order to support full operational functioning of P2P KM systems, ensuring high extensibility of the solutions along several dimensions, such as scalability in the number of peers, size and kind of supported knowledge bases, level of heterogeneity in knowledge representation, robustness, etc. Various technologies can contribute to P2P KM solutions: Semantic Web, with new instruments for knowledge representation, in particular ontologies, as well as with (totally) mechanized means for locating, retrieving and processing of data; database technology, with formal semantics for P2P data sharing; multi agent technology, with innovation solutions of agent-mediated knowledge management; and so on. The P2PKM workshop is intended to serve as an active forum for researchers and practitioners, where they will have the possibility to exchange and discuss research results, novel ideas and experiences, laying in the intersection of the P2P, KM and Semantic Web, database, multi agent, as well as other related technologies.
