********************************************************************* SEKE'94 Sixth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering CALL FOR PAPERS June 21-23, 1994 JURMALA, LATVIA The main theme of the International Conferences on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering is the interplay between software engineering and knowledge engineering: how knowledge engineering methods can assist the software engineer and how software engineering techniques can be applied in knowledge engineering. To this end SEKE'94 aims to bring together academic and industrial researchers and software developers from many countries to exchange ideas and results. Preference will be given to papers that emphasize the main theme, but outstanding papers on software engineering or knowledge engineering alone are also being solicited. The conference is founded and organized by Knowledge Systems Institute, in cooperation with IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Task Force on Multimedial Computing. The conference will also feature several half-day tutorials. Conference Chair: J. Barzdins, University of Latvia Program Chair: Alfs Berztiss, University of Pittsburgh Steering Committee: Bruce Buchanan, University of Pittsburgh Shi-Kuo Chang, University of Pittsburgh and Knowledge Systems Institute C. V. Ramamoorthy, University of California, Berkeley SOME SUGGESTED TOPICS: - Knowledge engineering in software engineering - Software engineering in knowledge engineering - Software process models - Requirements elicitation - Formal specification and transformation techniques - Visual specification techniques - Reverse software engineering - Software maintenance and reuse - Software reliability - Design and evaluation of CASE tools - Specification and design of distributed multimedia systems - New languages for software and/or knowledge engineering PAPER SUBMISSION: Paper must be written in English, with a 200-word abstract, and be no more than 22 pages of DOUBLE-spaced text, including figures and references (longer papers will not be refereed). Four copies of the paper are to reach the Program Chairman before December 15, 1993: Professor Alfs Berztiss Department of Computer Science University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA (Tel: 412-624-8401; Fax: 412-624-8854; E-mail: alpha@cs.pitt.edu) IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission Deadline: IMMEDIATE (SEND BY EXPRESS MAIL) Notification of Acceptance: February 15, 1994 Camera Ready Copy Due: April 1, 1994 (Note: all dates extended by a month from earlier instructions) HOW TO GET THERE? There are direct air connections from Frankfurt and Copenhagen, by Lufthansa and SAS, respectively. As regards the United States, several travel agents specialize in charter flights to Riga from New York, Chicago, and some other places. It is also possible to go by overnight ferry from Stockholm to Tallin, and then by a (Swedish) bus to Riga. There is another ferry and land connection from Helsinki. Additional links are being established all the time. The most current travel and visa information will be distributed with registration forms. All participants who indicate their time and mode of arrival will be met and taken to the conference venue by the organizers. WHAT WILL THERE BE TO SEE? Riga is an old Hansa town, founded in 1201, with a picturesque Old Town, and very interesting turn-of-the-century architecture. In one particular city block there is perhaps the richest concentration of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe. Other attractions: Jurmala, which is a stretch of seaside resorts, and Brivdabas Muzejs, a collection of farm buildings, country churches, etc., similar to Skansen in Stockholm, but not commercialized. The conference will end on Midsummer Eve, and conference participants will be able to take part in Latvian Midsummer night celebrations, which can be very impressive. ********************************************************************* SEKE94 Program Committee: Arango, Guillermo arango@slcs.slb.com Barzdins, Janis (CC) jbarzdin@irsis.mii.lu.lv Belli, Fevzi belli@adt.uni-paderborn.de Berztiss, Alfs (PC) alpha@cs.pitt.edu Bubenko, Janis janis@sisu.se Buchanan, Bruce (SC) buchanan@cs.pitt.edu Catarci, Tiziana catarci@infokit.ing.uniroma1.it Chan, Tak-Wai chan@sparc15.src.ncu.edu.tw Chang, Shi-Kuo (SC) chang@cs.pitt.edu Cheng, Betty chengb@cps.msu.edu Cooke, Daniel dcooke@cs.ep.utexas.edu Costabile, Maria costabile@astrba.ba.cnr.it Eichmann, David eichmann@adanet.wvnet.edu Feather, Martin feather@isi.edu Finkelstein, Anthony acwf@doc.ic.ac.uk Guercino, Angela tjarndt@cs4.lamar.edu Haikala, Ilkka ijh@cs.tut.fi Harandi, Mehdi harandi@cs.uiuc.edu Hausler, Philip hausler@vnet.IBM.COM Hurley, David hurley@cs.pitt.edu Ichikawa, Tadao ichikawa@aquarius.isl.hiroshima-u.ac.jp Juristo, Natalia natalia@fi.upm.es Kangassalo, Hannu hk@cs.uta.fi Koczkodaj, Waldemar icci@nickel.laurentian.ca Kurki-Suonio, Reino rks@cs.tut.fi Lanubile, Filippo flanub@vm.csata.it Lauber, Rudolf irp@irp.e-technik.uni-Stuttgart Luqi luqi@cs.nps.navy.mil Nilsson, Jorgen Fischer jfn@id.dth.dk Ohsuga, Setsuo ohsuga@ohsuga.rcast.u-tokyo.ac.jp Olive, Antoni olive@lsi.upc.es Poulin, Jeffrey jpoulin@vnet.ibm.com Ramamoorthy, C.V.
