TIME 2010 Call for Papers

TIME 2010 - First Call for Papers Seventeenth International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning Paris, France, 6-8 September 2010 http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/Events/TIME10/ The TIME symposium series is a well-established annual event that brings together researchers from all areas of computer science that involve temporal representation and reasoning. This includes, but is not limited to, artificial intelligence, temporal databases, and the verification of software and hardware systems. In addition to fostering interdisciplinarity, the TIME symposia emphasize bridging the gap between theoretical and applied research. TIME'10 encompasses three tracks, but has a single program committee. The conference will span three days, and will be organized as a combination of technical paper presentations, poster sessions, and keynote lectures. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission: 9 April 2010 Paper Submission: 12 April 2010 Paper Notification: 20 May 2010 Camera Ready Copy Due: 4 June 2010 TIME'10 Symposium: 6-8 September 2010 TOPICS Track 1: Temporal Representation and Reasoning in AI - temporal aspects of agent- and policy-based systems - spatial and temporal reasoning - reasoning about actions and change - planning and planning languages - ontologies of time and space-time - belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge - temporal learning and discovery - time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling) - time in human-machine interaction - temporal information extraction - time in natural language processing - spatio-temporal knowledge representation systems - spatio-temporal ontologies for the semantic web Track 2: Temporal Database Management - temporal data models and query languages - temporal query processing and indexing - temporal data mining - time series data management - stream data management - spatio-temporal data management, moving objects - data currency and expiration - indeterminate and imprecise temporal data - temporal constraints - temporal aspects of workflow and ECA systems - real-time databases - time-dependent security policies - privacy in temporal and spatio-temporal data - temporal aspects of multimedia databases - temporal aspects of e-services and web applications - temporal aspects of distributed systems - novel applications of temporal database management - experiences with real applications Track 3: Temporal Logic and Verification in Computer Science - specification and verification of systems - verification of web applications - synthesis and execution - model checking algorithms - verification of infinite-state systems - reasoning about transition systems - temporal architectures - temporal logics for distributed systems - temporal logics of knowledge - hybrid systems and real-time logics - tools and practical systems - temporal issues in security INVITED SPEAKERS Track 1: Ian Hodkinson, Imperial College London Track 2: Bart Kuijpers, Hasselt University Track 3: Martin Leucker, University of Munich PAPER SUBMISSION Submissions of high quality papers describing research results or on-going work are solicited. Submitted papers should contain original, previously unpublished content, should be written in English, and must not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Acceptance of a paper is contingent on one author presenting the paper at the symposium. Submissions should be in PDF format (with the necessary fonts embedded). They must be formatted according to the IEEE guidelines described at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/ proceedings/8.5x11 - Formatting files/instruct.pdf and must not exceed 8 pages; over-length submissions may be rejected without review.
