List, Some here might be interested in this CS Tool Interoperability Workshop (btw, I'll be delivering the keynote). GR ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Call for Papers *** Conceptual Structures Tool Interoperability Workshop (CS-TIW 2006) In conjunction with the 14th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2006) July 16, 2006, Aalborg University,Denmark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many tools have been developed in the Conceptual Structures community to model, represent and reason about conceptual structures like Conceptual Graphs, Formal Concepts, and related formalisms. However, such tools in isolation are not sufficient to build comprehensive, effective knowledge systems useful to communities and organizations. To this purpose, these tools need to be able to interoperate with other conceptual tools and information technologies. The goal of this workshop is to explore how to improve this interoperability of conceptual structures tools. === Themes To explore this goal, the workshop will have three main themes: . Interoperability Requirements What types of applications do conceptual structures tools have in real world knowledge systems and systems development methodologies? What requirements do these applications impose on conceptual structures tools? What breakdowns occur in actual application practice? What (ad hoc or more systematic) solutions have been developed to deal with these problems? . Knowledge Systems Architectures What components do effective knowledge systems have? What is the role of conceptual structures tools in these systems? How to conceptualize knowledge systems interoperability in terms of standard information systems and software engineering methodologies? What architectural principles should guide knowledge systems design and implementation? . Interoperability Standards What are the most relevant official and de facto standards affecting conceptual structures tools interoperability? How should these standards inform knowledge systems design? How to evaluate the standards in practical knowledge system implementation? How can practical interoperability experiences inform the standards setting process? === Topics Topics to be addressed in the submissions, include, but are not limited to: . Interoperability conceptualization . Requirements analysis . Software integration and configuration . Tool interfaces . Web services . Architectures . Converters and wrappers . Documentation . Software engineering principles . Open source methodologies . Standards (official and de facto) . Usability . Evaluation methods . Benchmarking . Organizational issues (including intellectual property rights) === Submission Details Both contributions with a theoretical and a practical focus welcome. Papers are limited to 14 pages in Springer's LNCS format. For more details see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs. Please submit your paper through http://extra.shu.ac.uk/cs-tiw2006. In case you have any problems with the submission, or for any other questions, please contact the workshop chairs at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or through their individual e-mail addresses. Papers will be reviewed for adherence to the workshop scope and quality by the chairs and additional reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in a separate ISBN-numbered proceedings by Aalborg University Press. If accepted, the paper must be presented at the workshop. In addition to the papers, a CD with tools, data, documentation and other relevant material will be made available. Authors are encouraged to provide such material with their accepted submissions. === Dates . Paper submission deadline: Sunday, April 9, 2006 . Acceptance notification: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 .
