From: Ray Schwartz Subject: ASIS SIG/Classification Research Workshop - Call for papers Call for Participation The American Society for Information Science Special Interest Group on Classification Research (ASIS SIG/CR) invites submissions for the 4th ASIS Classification Research Workshop, to be held at the 56th Annual Meeting of ASIS in Columbus, Ohio. The workshop will take place Sunday, October 24th, 1993, 8:30 a.m. -5:00 p.m. ASIS '93 continues through Thursday, October 28th. The CR Workshop is designed to be an exchange of ideas among active researchers with interests in the creation, development, management, representation, display, comparison, compatibility, theory, and application of classification schemes. Emphasis will be on semantic classification, in contrast to statistically based schemes. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Warrant for concepts in classification schemes * Concept acquisition * Basis for semantic classes * Automated techniques to assist in creating classification schemes * Statistical techniques used for developing explicit semantic classes * Relations and their properties * Inheritance and subsumption * Knowledge representation schemes * Classification algorithms * Procedural knowledge in classification schemes * Reasoning with classification schemes * Software for management of classification schemes * Interfaces for displaying classification schemes * Data structures and programming languages for classification schemes * Image classification * Comparison and compatibility between classification schemes * Applications such as subject analysis, natural language understanding, information retrieval, expert systems * The CR Workshop welcomes submissions from various disciplines. Those interested in participating are invited to submit a short (1-2 page single- spaced) position paper summarizing substantive work that has been conducted in the above areas or other areas related to semantic classification schemes, and a statement briefly outlining the reason for wanting to participate in the workshop. Submissions may include background papers as attachments. Participation will be of two kinds: presenter and regular participant. Those selected as presenters will be invited to submit expanded versions of their position papers and to speak to those papers in brief presentations during the workshop. All position papers (both expanded and short papers) will be published in proceedings to be distributed prior to the workshop. The workshop registration fee is $35.00. Submissions should be made by email, or diskette accompanied by paper copy, or paper copy only (fax or postal), to arrive by May 15, 1993, to: Phil Smith, 210 Baker Systems, 1971 Neil Avenue, Cognitive Systems Engineering Laboratory, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210; Phone: 614-292-4120; Fax: 614-292-7852, Internet: Phil+@osu.edu ====================================================================== 3.
