Description
The Second IFCIS International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems
(CoopIS) is the premier event in Cooperative Information Systems. It is
sponsored by the International Foundation on Cooperative Information Systems
(IFCIS), and replaces the erstwhile international workshops on
Interoperability in Multidatabase Systems (IMS) and the conference series on
Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS & ICICIS).
Cooperative Information Systems - the area and the conference - brings
together scientists and ideas from artificial intelligence, databases, and
distributed computing. The Conference is devoted to cooperation and
interoperability among all types of information systems. Specific topics of
interest include the theoretical and practical aspects of the following
* Information management via cooperating agents
* Federated databases and multidatabases, including the issues of legacy
data and applications, distribution, heterogeneity, autonomy, and
security.
* Multimedia information systems, including document management, metadata
for digital media, and data transformation.
* Global information systems, including information resource discovery,
information brokering, electronic/information commerce, and electronic
data interchanges.
* Business process modeling and workflow modeling and management.
* Information modeling and semantic interoperability.
* Architectural issues in the above.
* Data management issues, including collection, exchange, mining,
simulation, and animation.
* Core technologies, including DAI and multiagent systems, distributed
object management, mediators, wrappers, advanced transaction models,
negotiation, communication subsystems & infrastructure, and issues of
storage, buffering and optimization.
Information For Authors
Original research and industrial papers and posters are solicited. Papers
should not be longer than 5000 words. Industrial papers should describe
technical or key business issues in applying the relevant technology, which
should highlight aspects of cooperation and interoperation. Poster
submissions should be about 1000-2000 words.
Submit
* a 100-200 word plain-text abstract by email to the nearest program
chair. The format for the abstract is as follows:
Title: title
Authors: name[, name]
Category: research | industrial | poster
Abstract: abstract
* six copies of the manuscript to the same program chair
The Proceedings of CoopIS'97 will be published by the IEEE Computer Society
Press.
Proposals for panels, demonstrations, and tutorials can be sent to the
appropriate chairs at the addresses below.
