日本データベース学会の皆様：国立情報学研究所の韓です。国際学会「The 23rd European Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases (EJC2013), June 3-7, 2013 in 奈良」の投稿期限が迫ってきましたので再度ご案内申し上げます。ご投稿、お待ちしております。 http://www.tt.cs.titech.ac.jp/EJC2013/ Objective Information modelling is becoming more and more important topic for researchers, designers, and users of information systems. The amount and complexity of information itself, the number of abstraction levels of information, and the size of databases and knowledge bases are continuously growing. Conceptual modelling is one of the sub-areas of information modelling. The aim of this conference is to bring together experts from different areas of computer science and other disciplines, who have a common interest in understanding and solving problems on information modelling and knowledge bases, as well as applying the results of research to practice. We also aim to recognize and study new areas on modelling and knowledge bases to which more attention should be paid. Therefore philosophy and logic, cognitive science, knowledge management, linguistics and management science are relevant areas, too. In the conference, there will be three categories of presentations, i.e. full papers, short papers and position papers. Important Dates •Submission deadline is January 15th, 2013. •The acceptance letters for all types of contributions will be email by March 22nd, 2013. •In the case of acceptance, you are expected to send your final paper for inclusion in the conference pre-proceedings to arrive no later than April 23th, 2013. •Final version of the paper will be published after the conference as book of journal papers by IOS Press (Amsterdam) in Series of the "Frontiers on Artificial Intelligence" for international distribution. Improved papers must be sent by September 17th in 2013, after the conference. Each of the position papers is reviewed in the presentation and the improved version by Program Committee, whether or not it can be accecpted as the final journal print. Format of Submission Send the paper electronically according to the instructions for registering, formatting and submitting on the page: http://www.pori.tut.fi/ejc/author_information.html The submission must be original, and must not be submitted anywhere else, or already accepted by any other conference or journal. The selection of papers is made on the basis of review, by the program committee. Acceptance of papers will be based on the originality of work, on the suitability of the topic to the conference, and on the overall quality of your submission. Papers may be submitted in the following categories: •Scientific/Technical Paper: You may submit your paper either as a full paper (of max. 20 pages), or as a short paper (of max. 8 pages). •Position Paper: Research projects of any scale are invited to illustrate innovative concepts, theories, prototypes, or experiences. Your position paper (work-in-progress) should be no longer than 5 pages. The pre-print will be distributed in the conference. The finalproceedings including the papers presented in the conference will bedistributed after the conference and published by IOS Press (Amsterdam) for international distribution. IMPORTANT: Please use only "English fonts" (ANSI/ASCII or UTF-3) in your paper, and include all the fonts you used. No extra hidden codes, nor any other features that are specific to a special computer (or language) environment should be included in any form. Otherwise reviewers may not be able to open and read your paper. Once a submitted paper is found to be unreadable, the reviewing process may be stopped automatically without asking the second submission. Working Principles of the Conference •The authors present their papers at the conference. The papers are included in the conference (local) preprint. •The final text of the papers can be polished for publication after the conference. Only actually presented papers will be published in the final journal print. •The final journal papers will be published by an international publisher. •The total number of participants is limited to 50. •Only actually presented papers will be published in the final journal print. •The final text of the full and short papers can be polished as journal papers for publication after the conference. •Each of the position papers are proposed to improve to take into account the comments in the conference (if any) and the statement of the reviewers. •Programme committee has right to withdraw the paper from the final journal publication, if the proposed improvements are not implemented or if the paper is not technically prepared according to the formatting rules. •The final journal papers will be published by an international publisher (IOS Press, Amsterdam) after the conference.
