CFP: Formal Ontologies Meet Industry - Second International Workshop

by fomi

*********************************************** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS Apologies for multiple copies of this message *********************************************** Second International Workshop on Formal Ontologies Meet Industry http://www.loa-cnr.it/fomi December 14-15, 2006 University of Trento ******************************************************** This event is jointly organized by: - Laboratory for Applied Ontology, ISTC-CNR, Trento - University of Trento - University of Verona - Creactive Consulting S.r.l., Affi ******************************************************** Following the great success of the previous edition, we are glad to invite you to attend the second Formal Ontologies Meet Industry Workshop (FOMI 2006). Description =========== FOMI aims to become an international forum where researchers in different disciplines and practitioners of various industry sectors meet to analyze and discuss issues related to methods, theories, tools and applications based on formal ontologies. It is nowadays widely understood that the semantic dimension and model driven approaches play an important role not only in research fields but also in networked economy. In particular, it has emerged that semantic based applications are relevant in distributed systems such as networked organizations, organizational networks, and in distributed knowledge management. Namely, these knowledge models in industry aim at providing a framework for information and knowledge sharing, reliable information exchange, meaning negotiation and coordination between distinct organizations or among members of the same worldwide organization. The business world also considers this issue of strategic relevance and keeps paying particular attention to it because many theoretical results have already been proved effectiveness in real applications like data warehouse construction, information infrastructure definition, and all processes and applications of knowledge management. With the application of new methodologies and techniques in the everyday practice and the accessibility of new theoretical results in this area, developing new tools based on more sophisticated frameworks has become a common need. This is an important reason for the increasing interest in the employment of formal ontologies in fields like medicine, engineering, financial and legal systems, and other business practices. In all these fields, a new emerging trend is to evaluate the interdependencies between theories and methods of formal ontology and the activities, processes, and needs of enterprise organizations. A typical example of this is the evaluation of the benefits that huge organizations can obtain by implementing ontology based systems. Objectives ========== The workshop is a forum to meet and discuss problems, solutions, perspectives and research directions for researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers or project descriptions that aim at applying formal ontologies in industry. In particular, - theoretical studies on formal ontologies committed to provide sound bases for industrial applications and to allow formal representation of corporate knowledge; - business experiences on case studies that single out concrete problems and possible solutions; the experience analysis should provide useful insights on social and strategic aspects that might be relevant in the creation and deployment of formal ontologies as well as useful criteria or methods to evaluate ontologies and their effectiveness in applications. ******************************************************** Topics of Interest ================== Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - ontology methodologies in business practice; - ontologies and corporate knowledge; - ontologies adaptation within organizations; - formalization of the know-how; - representation of artifacts and design; - representation of functionalities; - representation of knowledge and business processes; - linguistic representation in organizational knowledge; - linguistic problems in organizational standard code and codification processes; - enterprize modeling; - ontology evaluation; - ontology effectiveness; - ontology changes and developments within organizations; - representation of business services; - ontologies and electronic catalogs; - ontologies and e-commerce; - ontologies and marketing; - ontologies in the practice of engineering; - ontologies in the practice of medical sciences; - ontologies in finance; - ontologies and e-government. We also encourage submissions which relate research results from close areas connected to the workshop topics. ******************************************************** Important dates =============== Workshop: December 14-15, 2006 Deadline for paper submissions: July 15, 2006 Notification of acceptance: October 8, 2005 Camera ready submission: November 9, 2006 ******************************************************** Submission and Proceedings ========================== We invite submissions of papers in any of the topics of interest to the workshop. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as PDF files via e-mail to the following address: fomi(a)loa-cnr.it Paper maximal length is 10 pages, excluding title page and bibliography. Instructions about format can be found at http://www.loa-cnr.it/fomi Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and selected on the basis of technical quality, relevance of the described experiences (depending on the type of submission), and clarity of the presentation for the workshop. In particular, we insist that papers should be written for a wide audience. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, and published as proceedings. Accepted papers will be electronically published on CD and distributed to participants. Following FOMI 2005, a selection of the best papers accepted at the workshop will be considered for publication in the international journal ''Applied Ontology''. ******************************************************** Program Committee (to be completed) =================================== Chair: Nicola Guarino (LOA-CNR, Italy -- guarino(a)loa-cnr.it) Matteo Cristani (University of Verona -- cristani(a)univr.it) Stefano Borgo (LOA-CNR, Italy -- borgo(a)loa-cnr.it) Miltidias Lydras (Athens University of Economics & Business, Greece -- mdl(a)aueb.gr) York Sure (Institut AIFB Universit‰t Karlsruhe, Germany -- sure(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de) Paulo Leitao (Polytechnic Institute of BraganÁa, Portugal -- pleitao(a)ipb.pt) Roberta Cuel, University of Trento, Italy -- roberta.cuel(a)unitn.it Francesco Bellomi, University of Verona, Italy -- bellomi(a)sci.univr.it Roberta Ferrario, LOA ISTC-CNR, Italy -- ferrario(a)loa-cnr.it ******************************************************** Please do not hesitate to contact any of the Organizing Committee members for further details. ********************************************************

pragmatikai kompetenecia

by Banreti Zoltan

Tisztelt Kollégák, Az MTA Nyelvtudományi Intézetében a Kisérletes nyelvészet program következő előadása április 20-án, csütörtökön 14 órától a földszinti előadóban: Ivaskó Lívia (SZTE Magyar Intézet Médiatudományi Tanszék) Miként működhet a pragmatikai kompetencia? Alább olvasható az előadás absztraktja. Minden érdeklődőt szeretettel várunk. Üdvözlettel, Bánréti Zoltán ---------------------------------- Miként működhet a pragmatikai kompetencia? Ivaskó Lívia (SZTE Magyar Intézet Médiatudományi Tanszék) Előadásomban arról próbálok összevető áttekintést adni, hogy az elméleti nyelvészeti megközelítésekben megjelenő pragmatikai kompetencia fogalma hogyan azonosítható azzal a pragmatikai kompetencia fogalommal, melynek működését a kísérleti nyelvészeti, neuropragmatikai és fejlődéses pragmatikai vizsgálatok igyekeznek minél alaposabban feltérképezni. Elsőként olyan diskurzusok bemutatása a célom, ahol az egészséges nyelvhasználók félreértéseinek felismerése során maguk a résztvevők támaszkodnak ép pragmatikai kompetenciájuk jó működésére ahhoz, hogy újra tudják értelmezni, és javítani is tudják sikertelenségüket. A következőkben patológiás nyelvhasználatú egyének diskurzusaiban mutatom be a fent említett képesség működését: 1. csak bal féltekei sérült afáziások nyelvhasználatában mint a kompenzációs műveletek alapfeltételét, 2. majd ismertetem annak a tünetegyüttesnek a jellemzőit, mely a jobb féltekei sérült, pragmatikai kompetenciájukban korlátozott egyének nyelvhasználata mutat. Ezt a tünetegyüttest Paradis (1998) után a dyshyponoia terminussal határozza meg a neuropragmatika. Előadásomban pontos képet igyekszem adni azokról a kísérletes megközelítésekről, melyek a pragmatikai kompetencia sérülésének mérhetőségéről, lokalizálhatóságáról való dilemmákat okozzák, valamint külön kitérek az elme modularitásával kapcsolatos nézetekből eredő módosított felfogásokra is. Az előadás befejező részében szeretném megmutatni azokat a lehetőségeket, melyek segíthetik a pontosabb nyelvi/nyelvhasználati diagnózis felállítását, elősegítve ezzel mind a nyelvészeti, neurolingvisztikai és neuropragmatikai vizsgálatok kiértékelését, mind az esetleges terápiás mód kiválasztását. ---------------------------------- MTA Nyelvtudomanyi Intezete Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences H-1068 Budapest Benczúr u. 33 tel: 36-1-351-0413 fax: 36-1-322-9297 email: banreti(a)nytud.hu MTA Nyelvtudomanyi Intezete Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences H-1068 Budapest Benczúr u. 33 tel: 36-1-351-0413 fax: 36-1-322-9297 email: banreti(a)nytud.hu

Budapest Mind Society lecture series

by Jakab Zoltán

Dear All, Hopefully this time we will be able to hear Kati's talk about consciousness :) Time: 2 May, 2006 (Thursday), 5 PM. Location: CEU Department of Philosophy, 1051 Budapest, Zrínyi u. 14, 4th floor, rm. 412. Title and abstract: "Hard, Harder, Hardest" In this paper I discuss three problems concerning consciousness. The first two problems have been dubbed "The Hard Problem" and "The Harder Problem". The third problem has received less attention and I will call it "The Hardest Problem". The Hard Problem is a metaphysical, and explanatory problem concerning the nature of conscious states. The Harder Problem is epistemological. The problem is that if physicalism is true then all facts supervene on physical facts including facts about consciousness and so it is natural to expect that, given enough physical information, I can know whether another being is conscious. But it seems that I cannot know this. The Hardest Problem is a problem about reference. Both the Hard and the Harder Problems presuppose the common sense view that our subjective concepts refer determinately - modulo vagueness - to real, objective properties that can be instantiated in minds other than my own. It follows that there will be a matter of fact - even if I can never find it out - about whether a phenomenal concept of mine applies to another creature. The Hardest Problem is the problem of explaining how, given physicalism, this could be so. Together the three problems present, I suggest, a particularly difficult challenge to those philosophers who are, like me, both physicalists and phenomenal realists, and agree with dualists that there is an explanatory gap involving phenomenal consciousness. My aim is to spell out the relations among them and then to explore how they appear from the perspective of an approach that strikes me as quite promising in so far as the first two problems are concerned. The approach I have in mind attempts to explain the various special and puzzling features of phenomenal consciousness in terms of what Stoljar has recently called 'the phenomenal concept strategy'. This approach can go quite far in handling the first two problems but, as we will see, runs into serious difficulties with the Hardest Problem. Best wishes, Zoltán Jakab

Ceci et al./Is tenure justified?: BBS Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty, NOTE: The Online Commentary Proposal System is temporarily disabled. Please respond to this letter with email reply. Thanks. Below the proposal instructions please find the abstract, keywords, and a link to the full text of the forthcoming BBS target article: "Is tenure justified? An experimental study of faculty beliefs about tenure, promotion, and academic freedom" By Stephen J. Ceci, Wendy M. Williams, and Katrin Mueller-Johnson This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates or suggested by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please reply via EMAIL by April 24, 2006 to: calls(a)bbsonline.org The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or to suggest someone to comment. If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate (there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are eligible to become BBS Associates. An electronic list of current BBS Associates is available at this location to help you select a name: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated investigator.) ======================================================================= COMMENTARY PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS ======================================================================= To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, it would be most helpful if you would send us an indication of the relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the paper, and what aspect of the paper you would anticipate commenting upon. Please DO NOT prepare a commentary until you receive a formal invitation, indicating that it was possible to include your name on the final list, which is constructed so as to balance areas of expertise and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. ======================================================================= *** TARGET ARTICLE INFORMATION *** ======================================================================= TITLE: Is tenure justified? An experimental study of faculty beliefs about tenure, promotion, and academic freedom AUTHORS: Stephen J. Ceci, Wendy M. Williams, and Katrin Mueller-Johnson ABSTRACT: The behavioral sciences have come under attack for writings and speech that affront sensitivities. At such times, academic freedom and tenure are invoked to forestall efforts to censure and terminate jobs. We review the history and controversy surrounding academic freedom and tenure, and explore their meaning across different fields, at different institutions, and at different ranks. In a multifactoral experimental survey, 1,004 randomly-selected faculty from top-ranked institutions were asked how colleagues would typically respond when confronted with dilemmas concerning teaching, research, and wrong-doing. Full professors were perceived as more likely to insist on academic freedom to teach unpopular courses, research controversial topics, and whistle-blow wrong-doing than were lower-ranked professors (even associate professors with tenure). Everyone thought others were more likely to exercise academic freedom than they themselves were, and promotion to full professor was a better predictor of who would exercise academic freedom than was the awarding of tenure. Few differences emerged related either to gender or type of institution, and behavioral scientists beliefs were similar to scholars from other fields. No support was found for glib celebrations of tenures sanctification of broadly-defined academic freedoms. These findings challenge the assumption that tenure can be justified on the basis of fostering academic freedom, suggesting the need for a reexamination of the philosophical foundation and practical implications of tenure in todays academy. KEYWORDS: Academic Freedom; Faculty Beliefs; Academia; Professoriate; Promotion; Scientific Misconduct; Tenure; Whistle-Blowing; Ethical Issues FULL TEXT: http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Ceci-04182005/Referees/ Please reply via EMAIL by April 24, 2006 *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email.
