From Oliver.Kutz at unibz.it Mon Mar 4 23:38:37 2019 From: Oliver.Kutz at unibz.it (Kutz Oliver) Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2019 22:38:37 +0000 Subject: [iaoa-general] Announcing the IAOA Series at CEUR Workshop Proceedings Message-ID: <19E8BE41-3C82-4ED8-B003-4174F59FF694@unibz.it> Dear IAOA member, dear colleague I am writing today to announce the recent launch of the new IAOA subseries at CEUR. http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html CEUR has published more than 2000 Workshop Proceedings Volumes since 1995, and is well-known as one of the biggest and widely respected open access publishers with a focus on computer science topics. The IAOA series is intended to collect the proceedings of events organised by the IAOA, or organised and edited by some of its members and endorsed by the IAOA. It should provide an overview of the research activities carried out by its members and reflect core topics, evolving trends, and emergent topics. Publication in the IAOA series follows essentially the same rules as in the main series (see the link above), where they are also listed. If you have published a volume at CEUR in recent years and would like to have it included on the IAOA Series page, please get in contact with me (it can be displayed there without being 're-published'). Most importantly, if you plan to publish this year at CEUR, or plan an event and haven't decided yet on the publisher, please get in contact with me in time and we will reserve you a volume number. All the best, Oliver Kutz -- oliver.kutz at unibz.it http://www.inf.unibz.it/~okutz/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For example, location services are increasingly important for many companies. Knowledge-based design of electromechanical devices with moving parts remains a challenge in manufacturing. Facilitators Werner Kuhn (University of California, Santa Barbara) Simon Scheider (University of Utrecht) Michael Gruninger (University of Toronto) Participants from all sectors of geographical information systems, manufacturing, and ontology engineering are invited to interact from July 22-25, 2019 at the Universiteit Utrecht. As always, the Summer Institute will challenge the state of the art through lively discussions and hands-on problem solving rather than lengthy presentations.
