If it doesn't, then it's just more "motherhoods"! I'm talking about real change, not shifting the unworkable, anal-retentive policies from one bureau to another. Because Clinton and Gore are more progressive than, say, Hatch and Helms does not mean that they are doing the right thing in this area. Chanting "Information Highway" is not the same as aiding its progress. This affects all elements of the global economy, enterprise integration (especially for global enterprises), electronic commerce, and the future of distributed IT. Lee Rothstein -- Lee D.

It details the workshop programme with its agenda and objectives. A limited number of places for participants is still available so that we encourage interested persons to contact us soon in order to reserve an invitation. *** GENERAL OBJECTIVES: The workshop intends to provide a discussion forum for specialists in product and knowledge modelling to become familiar with current trends in both fields and to explore the benefits from developing joint perspectives toward product knowledge sharing and integration. The presentations shall explain current modelling approaches, especially in standar- dization efforts like STEP, KIF and others, and the discussions will try to determine the possible added value of sharing different viewpoints within these communities. As a result some documented recommendations for further work are intended. *** SHORT DESCRIPTION: Product knowledge is widely distributed and stored in a variety of ways, on paper, electronically, and in the minds of indi- viduals. How can this knowledge be shared and integrated in order to minimise revision loops and translation costs between product generations and to obtain more flexibility in the use of product knowledge by different kinds of applications? In this workshop we will further investigate how product data modelling, applications and standardization efforts can profit from experiences in knowledge representation and vice versa. *** INTENDED AUDIENCE: This workshop is intended for discussion and interaction between the following communities - Industry (Product Engineers, Developers and Managers) - Standardization Bodies (like ISO 10303 STEP) - Technical Documentation - Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Based Methods *** MAIN TOPICS: Specific issues and topics that may be addressed include, but are not limited to: - modelling issues for product data and knowledge - requirements from users and applications - ontologies for product knowledge sharing and reuse - integration issues (syntactic and semantic) - knowledge management and corporate memories - STEP/EXPRESS perspectives - relations between technical documentation and product knowledge *** TIME and VENUE: Thursday, 17 April 1997, 09:00 h to Friday, 18 April 1997, 13:00 h at International Center for Advanced Communication (C.I.C.A.) 2229 Route des Cretes, F-06560 Sophia-Antipolis (near Nice), France *** HOTELS: The following list gives an overview of hotels in reasonable vicinity at the currently best rates: (Rates shown are reduced rates for bookings before 28 February, but rebates may still be available) Hotel Tulip Inn Mediathel Tel: +33 - (0)4 92 94 68 00 120, Rte. des Macarons Fax: +33 - (0)4 93 65 43 41 single room: 295 FF double room: 360 FF breakfast: 50 FF per person per day city tax: 4 FF per person per day Hotel Grand Mercure Tel: +33 - (0)4 92 96 68 78 560, Rue Albert Caquot Fax: +33 - (0)4 93 96 05 05 single room: 550 FF double room: 720 FF (including tax and breakfast) Hotel Novotel Tel: +33 - (0)4 93 65 40 00 290, Rue Dostoievski Fax: +33 - (0)4 93 95 80 12 single room: 304 FF double room: 360 FF (including tax and breakfast) Omega Best Western Hotel Tel: +33 - (0)4 92 96 07 07 49, Rue L. van Beethoven Fax: +33 - (0)4 92 96 03 05 room for single use: 400 FF room for double use: 500 FF (including tax and breakfast) IBIS Hotel Tel: +33 - (0)4 93 65 30 60 6 Rue Albert Caquot Fax: +33 - (0)4 93 95 83 99 single room: 378 FF double room: 428 FF (including tax and breakfast) For further practical information you can refer to the PDTAG WWW page: http://www.cadlab.tu-berlin.de/~PDTAG/WP3/sophia-ant/how_to_go_to.html or you may request a paper copy from the workshop organizer.

I'm currently cleaning this announcements mailing list; if you wish to be removed please let me know. Thanks for your time, Best Regards, Alberto Broggi ============================================================================= C A L L F O R A R T I C L E S IEEE Expert Magazine VISION-BASED DRIVING ASSISTANCE IN VEHICLES OF THE FUTURE http://www.ce.unipr.it/expert ALBERTO BROGGI, Guest Editor Thanks to the increasing computational power of current computer systems and to the reduced costs of image-acquisition devices, in the last few years vision-based sensing of the surrounding environment has gained a strategic importance not only in military applications, but also in the automotive field. This special issue will address the problems of autonomous vehicle driving, describe common techniques, and present the state of the art. Suggested topics include - Vision-based guidance of unmanned vehicles. - Analysis of real-time constraints for vehicle driving. - Vehicle navigation in unknown environments. - Integration of specialized hardware on vehicles. - Description of research prototypes. - Legal aspects. - Analysis of future trends. Expert seeks two kinds of articles: - TUTORIALS and SURVEYS introducing this field and reviewing the state of the art or the state of the practice of work done in this area, with the aim of comparing different solutions and techniques. Such articles should be approximately 6,000 words (9-10 magazine pages), with extensive references to widely available published works. One or two such articles will likely be included. - ARTICLES describing prototypes of autonomous vehicles developed worldwide by universities, research centers, corporations, and government institutions. These articles should describe both the techniques and the results obtained, and the references should allow the interested reader to follow up on both. Articles describing the fusion of data coming from sensors other than vision are also welcome. These articles should be from 5,500 to 6,000 words (8-9 magazine pages), with no more than 12 references. A consistent and useful set of definitions and examples can often help explain the underlying mathematics. Such aids can be presented as sidebars in the published article. Four or five such articles will likely be included. All authors should submit six hard copies of their article by December 20, 1997, to the guest editor, Alberto Broggi. Authors intending to submit tutorials or survey articles are encouraged to discuss this with the guest editor or to send an extended abstract to him by October 1, 1997.

Examples of electronic commerce topics includes, but is not limited to, technologies for: digital cash, micropayments, authentication, encryption, deniability, virtual supply chains, establishing trust, detering crime and fraud, capability discovery and description, virtual banking, government policy implementation, and tracing transactions. The related topic of economic models of the Internet addresses new ways of charging for usage: using micropayments for infrastructure payment, electronic mail postage, impacts of various models on the telecommunications industry and society, current preferential routing policies and proposed changes, levels of service, and protocol options. Papers should explicate the technical issues and examine their impact. For example, a proposed change in protocol that includes micropayments for preferential routing should address international tariffs, different national economic policies, and the impact on the telecomunications industry as well as the feasibility of implementation. Both actual case studies as well as simulations are encouraged. Technologies for both studying and implementing economic policies as well as electronic commerce are also relevant.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ** Please excuse-me if you received this message more than once. ** ** I posted it in different mail lists. ** Dear ICEIMT member Seven years after the publication of Michael Hammer's crucial paper that started the reengineering wave, BPR practitioners seem to have enlarged the scope of their efforts to encompass not only the technical aspects of business processes, but also the human side that is inherent and critical in reorganization projects. In consonance with the more recent ideas of Hammer, Champy, Senge, Schein, and many others, I believe that the understanding of how people "live" reengineering processes is fundamental to the success of this type of endeavor. That is why I am developing a research on the impact of BPR and similar processes on our work lives. In fact, this investigation is part of a broader project to critically analyze reengineering techniques and their consequences to individuals and organizations. I would be very thankful if you could help me in this project by sparing some minutes to participate in a short interview process. I have urgency to interview 10 persons who had experienced (or are experiencing) reengineering or similar processes. In the present stage of my research, my interest is mostly in those who were "submitted" to such reorganization procedures, rather than in those who were responsible for implementing the reengineering process. The questions I am going to formulate focus on the individual's personal experience with reengineering process, i.e., on how he or she has "lived" the process. The specificities of the reengineering techniques will not be addressed. Therefore, there are no restrictions concerning the position of the person in his or her organization, or his or her knowledge about reengineering. The interview can be done by e-mail, in a chat-room, by telephone, or even face-to-face, depending on the interviewee's preference and his or her location. The interview consists of only four or five open-ended questions, requiring a small investment of time from the interviewee. Additional questions may be asked as needed to clarify some point in the previous answers. The interviewees are totally free to interrupt the interview at any time. All information given by interviewees is completely confidential. Names, dates, companies and departments, places, etc., won't be included in the final report. Parts of the document related to an individual will be submitted to him or her to allow the verification of the accuracy of the information there included. The interviewees will have total power to vet the diffusion of any information they had provided. All interviewees are going to receive copies of my final report regarding people's experiences with reengineering. The present investigation is part of a broader research project, which includes a critical socio-historical analysis of reengineering in its diverse forms, since the emergence of its basic idea in Michael Hammer's paper in 1990. The roots of this idea, the conditions that allow it to emerge, and its consequences are examined in my work. The final report of this larger investigation will be also available to interviewees. I would greatly appreciate your help to complete my research. If you have experienced reengineering processes, if your life has been affected by reengineering projects, please take part in the interview process. If you know anybody who could be interviewed too, please send me his or her data so that I can contact him or her. Any help will be inestimable! Thank you for your attention.

Examples of electronic commerce topics includes, but is not limited to, technologies for: digital cash, micropayments, authentication, encryption, deniability, virtual supply chains, establishing trust, detering crime and fraud, capability discovery and description, virtual banking, government policy implementation, and tracing transactions. The related topic of economic models of the Internet addresses new ways of charging for usage: using micropayments for infrastructure payment, electronic mail postage, impacts of various models on the telecommunications industry and society, current preferential routing policies and proposed changes, levels of service, and protocol options. Papers should explicate the technical issues and examine their impact. For example, a proposed change in protocol that includes micropayments for preferential routing should address international tariffs, different national economic policies, and the impact on the telecomunications industry as well as the feasibility of implementation. Actual case studies as well as simulations are encouraged. Technologies for both studying and implementing economic policies as well as electronic commerce are also relevant. Guest Editor: Andrew B.

The summer school is sponsored and promoted by the EDBT Foundation and organised by the Institute for System Analysis and Informatics, CNR-IASI.The school is intended for young researchers looking for interesting research problems, professionals who want to find out the latest trends in their field, and graduate students begining their reseach career. This year, the subject matter for the school addresses recent and strategic innovations that will characterise, both methodologically and technologically, the next generation of Information Systems. The school programme consists of seven teaching units which are intended to offer an overview of formal foundations, as well as significant coverage of the state of the art. The teaching units will be given by distinguished members of the scientific community. The school will take place at the Hotel "La Palma" in Capri. Lectures and other organized events are intended to allow attendees and speakers to freely interact during the whole week. PROGRAMME The school programme is organised in two sections which together consist of seven teaching units, and two additional units. Each unit takes half a day: three hours with an intermediate half-hour break, except on Monday, with a shorter welcome unit and a longer introductory teaching unit. The default timetable for the week is: > Morning session: 9,00 - 12,30 > Lunch break: 12,30 - 4,00 (free) > Afternoon session: 4,00 - 7,30 > Course Dinner: 8,00 - 9,30 The two sections are: "Methods and Tools" - which focuses on new approaches for building and evolving Next-Generation Information Systems. "Systems Technologies and Architectures" - which focuses on generic technologies and surrounding technical issues that determine the architectures, the operations, and the life-cycle of Next-Generation Information Systems. On Friday afternoon there will be a Poster Session dedicated to the attendees wishing to present and discuss their work, both problems and research results, with other participants. On Saturday morning there will be a final panel to summarise what has been presented during the course and to draw impressions and/or conclusions on the state of the art in research and practice.

Please help distributing this announcement, Best Regards, Alberto Broggi ============================================================================= C A L L F O R A R T I C L E S IEEE Expert Magazine VISION-BASED DRIVING ASSISTANCE IN VEHICLES OF THE FUTURE http://www.ce.unipr.it/expert ALBERTO BROGGI, Guest Editor Thanks to the increasing computational power of current computer systems and to the reduced costs of image-acquisition devices, in the last few years vision-based sensing of the surrounding environment has gained a strategic importance not only in military applications, but also in the automotive field. This special issue will address the problems of autonomous vehicle driving, describe common techniques, and present the state of the art. Suggested topics include - Vision-based guidance of unmanned vehicles. - Analysis of real-time constraints for vehicle driving. - Vehicle navigation in unknown environments. - Integration of specialized hardware on vehicles. - Description of research prototypes. - Legal aspects. - Analysis of future trends. Expert seeks two kinds of articles: - TUTORIALS and SURVEYS introducing this field and reviewing the state of the art or the state of the practice of work done in this area, with the aim of comparing different solutions and techniques. Such articles should be approximately 6,000 words (9-10 magazine pages), with extensive references to widely available published works. One or two such articles will likely be included. - ARTICLES describing prototypes of autonomous vehicles developed worldwide by universities, research centers, corporations, and government institutions. These articles should describe both the techniques and the results obtained, and the references should allow the interested reader to follow up on both. Articles describing the fusion of data coming from sensors other than vision are also welcome. These articles should be from 5,500 to 6,000 words (8-9 magazine pages), with no more than 12 references. A consistent and useful set of definitions and examples can often help explain the underlying mathematics. Such aids can be presented as sidebars in the published article. Four or five such articles will likely be included. All authors should submit six hard copies of their article by December 20, 1997, to the guest editor, Alberto Broggi. Authors intending to submit tutorials or survey articles are encouraged to discuss this with the guest editor or to send an extended abstract to him by October 1, 1997.

Those who for instance think one copy on the network server allows everyone to use it. Most piracy I see as a consultant is of the first type. Most of that is harmless to the companies, as the software is not used. Technically, there is probably a violation, but it is a technical violation that would be hard to prosecute. Number 2 is harder to combat. Some people or organizations just don't things should have a cost. Teachers and those in service professions seem to think that everything should be given to them free. I used to be a computer dealer and had to combat this attitude. Number 3 is rare and difficult to combat. Again cost is a barrier to fixing violations of the third type. The second type is hard to root out, to use a Southern idiom. Many of the service professionals do not want to see anything wrong with what they are doing. Only Draconian penalties seem to give them pause. Such Draconian penalties may make these people even more hostile to intellectual property rights as just part of what they view as "greedy Capitalism." Education campaigns may make the issue clearer. They should not be campaigns that say, "You'll pay or go to jail if you pirate software." Instead, they should be advertising campaigns that stress the loss to authors and society from piracy.

These "findings" sound pretty weak. The most important finding of the original conference in '92 was that modeling tools ought to produce *executable* models that could be used to run the company and could be changed dynamically.
