Subject: TIME 2004 last call for papers

Prolog: papers are solicited from different research areas, dealing with
  time-related issues. Several topics could be of interest for the TYPES
community. Among them, I mention here: temporal logics for dynamic data
types; types for temporal data; type evolution; programming languages for
temporal representation and reasoning.

------------------------------------------------
The 11th International Symposium on
TEMPORAL REPRESENTATION AND REASONING

  (TIME 2004)

http://www.greyc.unicaen.fr/time2004

Tatihou, Basse Normandie, France
1-3 July, 2004

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together active researchers from
distinct research areas involving the representation of, or reasoning with,
time. As with previous meetings in this respected series, one of the main
goals of the  TIME symposium will be to bridge the gap between theoretical
and applied research in temporal representation and reasoning. Thus, we
especially encourage submissions concerning temporal aspects within areas
such as Artificial Intelligence, Temporal/Spatial Databases and Applications
of Temporal Logic in Computer Science in order to achieve a
multi-disciplinary perspective on the topic and to benefit from
cross-fertilisation of ideas.

There are three tracks in the symposium with separate program committees,
all overseen by the program chairs. The conference is planned as a three-day
event, and will be organised as a combination of technical paper
presentations, an extended poster session, and four keynote talks.


INVITED SPEAKERS

Invited Speakers:
Michael Bohlen, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy Manolis Koubarakis,
University of Crete, Greece Ian Pratt-Hartmann, University  of Manchester,
UK Thierry Vidal, ENI Tarbes France

TOPICS

Submission of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work
are welcome. Submitted papers should describe original, previously
unpublished, research, should be written in English, and should not be
simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest
within the scope of each track include, but are not restricted to:

Track1: Temporal Representation and Reasoning in AI
- temporal aspects of agent-based systems
- temporal constraint reasoning
- reasoning about actions and change
- temporal languages for planning
- temporal languages and architectures
- ontologies of time
- expressive power versus tractability
- belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
- temporal learning and discovery
- time and nonmonotonicity
- time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling,...)
- time in human-machine interaction
- spatio-temporal reasoning

Track 2: Time Management in Databases
- temporal data models
- temporal database design
- temporal query languages
- indexing of temporal data
- temporal database systems
- spatio-temporal databases
- constraint databases
- temporal data mining
- time in multimedia databases
- time in web applications
- time in federated and heterogeneous systems
- time in workflow systems
- querying time series databases
- querying data streams

Track 3: Temporal Logic in Computer Science
- specification and verification
- synthesis and execution
- model checking algorithms
- temporal architectures
- temporal logics for distributed systems
- temporal logics of knowledge
- hybrid systems
- tools and practical systems



PAPER SUBMISSION

  Submissions must not exceed the length of 11 pages; font size must be 11pt
or larger. The submission should describe original, previously unpublished
research.

It is strongly suggested the use of the LaTeX article style at 11pt. 
Overlength submissions will be rejected without review. Please, indicate the
track and topic(s) on the first page. Accepted papers will be invited for
full presentation or a poster presentation. Papers should be electronically
submitted via the form available at the TIME 2004 web site
(http://www.greyc.unicaen.Fr/time2004).
All submissions must be received by Thursday 5 February, 2004.

PROCEEDINGS

As usual within the TIME series, proceedings will be published by IEEE
Computer Society Press and will be subject to IEEE Copyright. Camera ready
papers are expected to be produced with the author kits sent by IEEE
Computer Society Press. It is also our intention to organise a special issue
of a respected journal, containing extended versions of selected papers from
the symposium.
