Information was stored in archives which contained mere data, whose semantic interpretation was left up to the application programs. Then databases were invented to get rid of duplications and inconsistencies. Database design methodologies instructed people that they should first understand the semantics of the data relevant to the applications and then express this semantics into database schemas. The approach has been extremely successful, resulting in myriads of databases being installed in almost every application environment. Unfortunately, many database design processes neglect to properly record the initial specifications, i.e. most of the intended semantics is not available anymore. Today's database designers are committed to reuse existing data, for clear performance and economic reasons. Moreover, they often have to complement enterprise data with data from external sources, where the corresponding semantics is rarely fully available. Accessing data via the Web is just an example of input from external autonomous repositories. Database researchers today are facing the issues involved in the discovery and understanding of the semantics hidden in whatever is available: data sets, data stores formats, database schemas, application programs, documentation, metadata, forms, interviews, etc. This seventh in the series of IFIP 2.6 working conferences devoted to database semantics will focus on these issues. Submissions are solicited regarding theories, principles, models, methods, formalisms, experiences, tools and prototypes for recovering, representing and organizing semantic information on application data from any possible source. This includes in particular the processes known as: - data mining and knowledge acquisition/discovery - data reverse engineering - extraction of semantic information from programs - semantic elicitation and visualization - putting semantics into context - cooperative elaboration of semantics - automatic indexing, classification and clustering - languages and interfaces for data mining or reverse engineering - advanced query models - visual mining - correspondence investigation in schema integration - applications, experiences, tools, industrial trends Authors are invited submit contributions that are clearly relevant to these issues. Guidelines for submission will be given later. FORMAT The DS-7 conference, following the tested format of the previous successful Data Semantics conferences, will be a four-day live-in working conference with limited attendance and extensive time for presentations and discussions. DATES Important Dates for Paper submission, Industrial Track, Panel and Tutorial proposals are tentatively planned as follows March 7, 1997: submission deadline May 14, 1997: PC meeting at SIGMOD May 20; notification of acceptance September 10, 1997: camera ready copies for pre-proceedings October 7-10, 1997: conference ORGANIZATION Conference Co-chairs: Alain Pirotte (Belgium) Stuart Madnick (USA) Program Co-Chairs: Stefano Spaccapietra (Switzerland) Fred Maryanski (USA) Local Organization Chair: Dr Martin Andersson (Switzerland) ================================================================== This information will be updated as preparation for the conference progresses.

The Information Systems Engineering field may be characterised by the two terms of information systems and engineering. Information Systems implies that computer based systems are designed to provide adequate and timely information to human users in organisations. Engineering implies the application of a rigorous set of problem solving approaches analogous to those found in traditional engineering disciplines. CONFERENCE TOPICS ----------------- The topics addressed in the CAiSE'97 conference include, but are not limited to the following: Business process reengineering CASE Conceptual modelling Distributed IS design Enterprise modelling Information systems procurement Internet-based IS design Internet-based world-wide IS Inter-organisational IS IS support for virtual organisations IT product definition and competitive advantage Legacy systems reengineering Methods engineering Mobile computing Object-oriented and rule-based applications design Quality management Requirements engineering Reverse engineering Workflow management CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- The conference organisers solicit papers within, but not restricted to the conference topics. Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. For electronic submissions, send a PostScript file of the paper to: caise97@fib.upc.es For traditional submissions, send five copies of your paper to Antoni Olive, Programme Chair for CAiSE'97. Antoni Olive Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Pau Gargallo, 5 08028 Barcelona The paper should not exceed 5000 words. Papers submitted must be original, and not submitted to, or accepted by, any other conference or journal. Proceedings from CAiSE'97 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes series. The proceedings for CAiSE'96, CAiSE'95, CAiSE'94, CAiSE'93, CAiSE'92, CAiSE'91 and CAiSE'90 are also available in this series.

There will be a discussion of the criteria for the classification of cooperating database systems, based on the nature of the component databases, that go beyond the traditional discussion on heterogeneity, distribution and autonomy, which can be considered more as constraints in the design process, than as design parameters. We discuss a classification based on three additional criteria: (a) the level of transparency, (b) the complexity of distributed transactions and (c) the level of recency of data. This leads us to distinguish three main categories of systems: (i) multidatabase systems, (ii) data warehouses, (iii) local information systems with external data. For each of these categories we discuss methodological issues and implementations based on tools offered by currently available technology, with reference to database gateways, transaction processing monitors, and data warehousing tools, distributed hypertext technology, and lower level client-server techniques. (Most of the discussion was developed, in cooperation with L. Cabibbo and G. Mecca within a project funded by the Italian Authority for Computing in the Public Administration, aimed at giving guidelines for cooperation of information systems over a national network) Expected Background and Intended Audience The tutorial will try to include in a balanced way both abstract and practical aspects, with the aim of giving a systematic view of concrete problems, bridging the gap between academic methodologies and real-world applications. It is mainly directed to practitioners interested in conceptual issues, and their relationship with available tools, but could also be of interest to students interested in reflecting on practical and technological problems related to the methodologies they study. Attendees are expected to have a general knowledge of basic issues in database technology and in conceptual design methodologies. No specific knowledge of cooperative systems is assumed. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuturial 2: Modeling the Enterprise with Objects Time: Monday, October 7, 9:00--12:30 Author: Richard T. Due Enterprise Object Modeling is the merger of the Object Technology Paradigm with Enterprise Modeling, Business Process Engineering, and Workflow Analysis. Enterprise Object Modeling provides you with a powerful understanding of your organization, it processes, and its Information Systems. Enterprise Object Modeling is a method that allows you to use this new understanding to increase the productivity of your organization's planning, control, and communications functions and the efficiency, economy and effectiveness of your management information and data processing systems. Goals of the Course To transfer the practical skills necessary to evaluate the approach and to intimate Enterprise Modeling projects. Who Should Attend Managers, Corporate Planners, Senior Business Systems Analysts, and Information Modelers interested in new and more productive approaches to planning, controlling their organization and their organizations information systems. What You Will Learn What is Enterprise Object Modeling. How does Enterprise Object Modeling build on and improve Enterprise Modeling and Information Engineering. How to improve productivity through requirements reuse. How to use the Design by Contract approach to modeling and systems development. How to plan and implement layered Object modeling libraries. How to develop dynamic Enterprise Models. How to increase the return on Information Engineering and Strategic Planning investments. How to acquire and use Business Objects. Enterprise Object Modeling Patterns and Frameworks. Instructor Richard T. Due, M.Sc., the developer of Enterprise Object Modeling, has over 30 years of Information Technology experience as a programmer, analyst, manager, consultant, teacher and author. He has developed and present Information Technology courses in over 24 countries. For the last six years, he has been a member of the American National Standards Institute's X3 Object Oriented Database Task Group and the X3H7 Object Information Management Standards Committee.

A manager learns that this is also true of subordinate employees. However, the creative introduction of rules, complete with penalties and rewards, influence behavior in predictable, desireable ways. This presentation invites the attendee to see their world from a different point of view. It introduces the newly emerging crucial component of business and information systems architectures: the business rule. The presentation defines a business rule and unravels the business rule life cycle. From here, a simple example illustrates a practical approach for uncovering and analyzing business rules from user requirements. This leads to an orderly discovery of data, knowledge, and, eventually, action needed to execute a collection of business rules. The presentation concludes that, even in an object-obssessive world, business rules must be given a visible priority, if we are to have rigor in our deliverables, yet allow the business to instigate creative change. Business rules must come first. Behavior naturally follows the rules. The attendee will learn: four useful categories of business rules a sample business rule analysis and modeling technique (Ross Method) relationship of business rules to data modeling, rule modeling, object modeling, and database access major conceptual breakthroughs from Ross insights for applying these concepts in practice -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuturial 4 Reuse at the Conceptual Design Level: Models, Methods, and Tools Time: Monday, October 7, 14:00--18:00 Authors: Silvana Castano, University of Milan Barbara Pernici, Politecnico di Milano Reuse at the conceptual design level implies the capability of identifying reference components to be combined to build new application schemas. Two main areas of interest are involved in the reuse process: design by-reuse, in which reference components are selected and combined to build a new application; design for-reuse, with the aim of defining reference components. In the tutorial, models, methods and tools to support these processes will be illustrated. In particular, similarity based selection of components from a repository, and extraction of reference components from a large set of preexisting application schemas will be presented. Such an approach to reuse can be applied to a large set of problems: in addition to constructing new applications, it can be used to reengineer existing applications, to guide the evolution of legacy systems, to identify information flows in an organization, to provide a basis for interoperability of heterogeneous applications. Results from the experimentation of the approach to the analysis of conceptual schemas in the Italian Public Administration domain will be discussed. The following topics will be covered in the tutorial: indexing of schemas by means of descriptors techniques for the evaluation of schema similarity techniques for schema abstraction techniques for grouping similar schemas in families retrieval of reference conceptual components for reuse environments to support reuse processes a case study of analysis of a large inventory of conceptual schemas in the Public Administration domain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dbworld alias reaches many people, and should only be used for messages of general interest to the database community.

The aims of AIME are the following: * to foster fundamental and applied research in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical research, and * to provide a forum for reporting significant results achieved at biennial conferences. AIME also assists industry to identify high quality medical products which exploit these techniques. 2 SCOPE We seek to publish original contributions to the development of theory, techniques, and applications of AI in Medicine. Contributions to theory may include a presentation or an analysis of the properties of novel AI methodologies potentially useful to solve relevant medical problems. Papers on techniques should describe the development or the extension of AI methods and their implementation. They should also discuss the assumptions and limitations which characterize the proposed methods. Application papers should describe the implementation of AI systems to solve significant medical problems, and should present sufficient information to allow evaluation of the practical benefits of using the system. AIME'97 will provide: * invited papers * contributed papers * contributed posters * system demonstrations * round table discussions and panel sessions * tutorials to introduce newcomers and discuss advanced topics * workshops The scope includes the following methodological areas: * knowledge representation, acquisition & validation ; machine learning * uncertain, temporal, case-based reasoning * natural language understanding * KBS for image and signal interpretation * monitoring and control * AI and telemedicine * integration of KBS and patient medical record * resource allocation, planning and scheduling * other areas relevant to AI in Medicine 3 CONTRIBUTIONS Full papers should be submitted on or before 15th September 1996. Papers should not exceed 5000 (posters 500) words. Authors are requested to classify their submitted paper using the categories given in the Scope. Papers must be original and must not have been published before. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least two independent and highly respected referees. All accepted papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings which will be published by Springer Verlag under its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series. In addition the authors of the best submissions will be invited to expand and refine their papers for possible publication in the journal Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (Elsevier). We also invite submission of tutorial proposals or panel discussions on the topics relevant to this Conference. A one-page abstract of the tutorial, as well as further relevant data concerning the topic and the presenter (one page curriculum vitae of the lecturer, previous presentations of the tutorial, target audience, etc) should be sent to the Tutorials Chair. 4 SCHEDULE * Receipt of full papers and tutorial proposals for consideration: 15th September 1996 (3 copies of the paper or tutorial proposal should be sent to the relevant Chair) * Notification of acceptance: 15th November 1996 * Receipt of camera-ready manuscript: 15th December 1996 5 CONFERENCE DETAILS The Conference will be held at Grenoble World Trade Center, in France, on 23th-26th March 1997.
