The Guest Editors are Carlo Combi, Ph.D., from the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering, the Politecnico of Milano, Italy, and Yuval Shahar, M.D., Ph.D., from the Knowledge Systems Laboratory, Section on Medical Informatics, Stanford University, California, U.S.A. Time is of the utmost importance in medicine. It plays a key role in medical decision making (clinical diagnosis, therapy planning) and in medical data modeling and managing (e.g., representation of the patient's medical record, including past pathologies and therapies, and follow-up data). In recent years, temporal-reasoning and temporal-maintenance systems in medicine have been the focus of an increasing interest. Researchers with different backgrounds and interests are facing the topic of time-oriented reasoning in clinical and in research-oriented medical domains. Examples include computer scientists (such as those interested in temporal databases, in temporal logics, or in natural-language processing), medical informaticians, health-care providers, and researchers in basic medical sciences (such as physiology and neuroanatomy). Significant solutions can be formulated through a multidisciplinary combination of these different research areas and their associated cultures. The subject of time-oriented systems in medicine covers a wide variety of specific subtopics, both theoretical and practical. Contributions of high quality would be welcome in, but are not limited to, any of the following subareas of research: + Modeling of clinical and research medical data + Modeling of temporal knowledge bases in medicine + Acquisition, maintenance, sharing, and reuse of temporal-reasoning knowledge + Temporal reasoning and time-oriented diagnosis or planning in medicine + Maintenance of time-oriented medical databases + Handling of multiple and heterogenous time-oriented clinical databases + Implementation of time-oriented systems and prototypes in medical areas + Summarization of time-oriented medical data + Real-time systems in medicine + Managing of temporal constraints in clinical applications + Temporal-pattern matching and temporal queries in clinical and research medicine + Graphic and natural-language interfaces for temporal queries in medical domains Interested potential contributors are invited to submit three copies of the manuscript by January 10, 1996 to one of the guest editors (see addresses below). Manuscripts should include no more than 30 typewritten pages, 12 type font and 18 point spacing. Papers should include a complete mail address, phone, fax, and email address of the authors, an abstract (up to 150 words), up to 5 key words, the paper (including all figures and tables in place), and a complete list of all references cited in the paper in a standard style. Manuscripts will be peer reviewed, and final formatting instructions will be sent to authors of accepted papers. Expected Timeline: Authors will be notified of acceptance by April 25, 1996. Revised papers will due by June 25, 1996. The expected publication date is December 1996.

This Workshop is the third of a series initiated with AVI'92 in Rome, and continued with AVI'94 in Bari. The Proceedings of AVI'92 and AVI'94 have been published by World Scientific and ACM Press respectively. Both formal methods and concrete applications fit well into the framework of this workshop. Since cognitive science and metaphor analysis have proved to be useful for understanding the basic mechanisms which allow visual interfaces to be easy to learn and use, these topics are also relevant to the workshop. Furthermore, we will focus on research in the areas of information visualization, graphical and pictorial communication tools, virtual reality applications, multimedia environments, WWW interfaces, visual languages, visual database systems, adaptive interfaces, and other recent technological developments. The program will comprise invited talks, given by leaders in the field, including: Stuart Card (Xerox PARC, USA), Alan Dix (University of Huddersfield, UK), Alberto Mendelzon (University of Toronto, Canada), Ben Shneiderman (Univ. of Maryland, USA). TOPICS Visual Interface Design and Management Visual Interaction Interface Evaluation Controlled Studies and Usability Testing Animated Interfaces Adaptive Interfaces Computer Supported Cooperative Work Virtual Reality Visualization Visual Databases Visual Query Systems Dynamic Queries Cognitive Models of User Metaphor Analysis Hypermedia & Multimedia WWW interfaces PAPER SUBMISSION We strongly encourage submissions that address research and development on the above and other related topics, or that propose new approaches suitable for fulfilling the demands that characterizes advanced interfaces of the next generation.

Journal (TKDE) to put together a special section of Concise research papers on Digital Libraries. The papers has to be limited to around 12-15 double spaced pages, (PLEASE NOTE THE CORRECTION MADE FROM THE PREVIOUS CFP), around 6 journal pages each. We are very much interested in original research work. Please note that THE IEEE TKDE policy is not to allow concurrent submission of papers or that a paper would be a summary of another paper that has been/planned to be submitted to another journal. Prof. Yelena Yesha and I will co-edit this special section. We will have each paper reviewed and the accepted ones (no more than 6 papers will be included in this special section. The review process will move very fast and I expect that the papers will appear within 5 months from acceptance. Yelena and I would like to invite you to contribute to this special section. Here are the important dates. Papers due: Oct. 20, 1995 Acceptance notification: Dec. 15, 1995 Final version due: Jan. 30, 1996 Special Section published: April 1996 Please send 6 copies to: Prof. Nabil Adam Rutgers University 180 University Avenue Newark, NJ 07102 adam@adam.rutgers.edu (201)648-5239 Electronic submission is encouraged. Send email to dlib@adam.rutgers.edu for details about electronic submission. best regards nabil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dbworld alias reaches many people, and should only be used for messages of general interest to the database community.
