Dear Colleagues, Next year, the 9th European IFSA Symposium will address a wide range of issues related to Building sustainable rural futures - The added value of systems approaches in times of change and uncertainty. There are now 28 Workshops to choose from. As you can see from the short description of the workshops (attached), theynot only cover a wide range of topics (e.g., learning processes, food systems, energy production), but also focus on different aspects within these topics(e.g., research results, project design, doctoral education, knowledge transfer) and have different formats (e.g., discussing YouTube films, exchange between practitioners, 'classical' presentations of research results). I am convinced you will find something of interest for you. The deadline to submit an abstract to the convenor(s) ofa workshop is 15 October 2009 . Please visit the Website http://www.ifsa-europe.org for more information on the IFSA 2010 Symposium. We wish you a great Summer and look forward to meeting you in Viennanext year! Ika Darnhofer, Christian Vogl, Michael Hauser and Susanne Kummer (a.k.a. theLocal Organising Committee) P.S.: If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact ika.darnhofer@boku.ac.at

由本人发起并组织的ISCRAMCHINA国际会议（Information Systems For Crisis Response And Management）在哈尔滨工程大学已经连续召开了3年。作为会议的组织者，我真切地希望为国内外危机管理领域的专家学者、工程实践人员、制定政策的政府官员们搭建起畅通的沟通与交流平台。通过三年的实践，有一定的成效，但还是存在一些问题，需要进一步克服。 问题1：参会的中国学者交流不够。更多的中国学者参加国际会议，是为了发表一篇ISTP检索的文章，而不是希望更多地就该领域的研究内容进行更深入地交换看法。面对中国学者，或许还有中国人特有的谦虚和保密的想法，因此不愿意深入交流；面对外籍学者，语言的障碍又显得无法逾越，也反映出我们的学者语言水平有限。 问题2：会议气氛不够浓烈。这主要原因可能还是来自于语言障碍。因为会议交流的语言是英语，因此很多学者更多关注如何做好自己的PRESENTATION，忽视了聆听其他人的报告，因此会议上讨论的气氛很难形成。 问题3：参会者预期的目标偏离会议主办目标。我们追求的办会目标，象每年在欧美两地轮换举办的ISCRAM国际会议一样，都是为了让相同领域研究人员能够更多交流，达成更多的合作意向。但是大多数国内的参会者是为了追求会议论文的检索，对于会议交流不够重视；另一方面，国外的参会者是为了有更多的交流，了解中国的相关研究程度，但又苦于找不到合适的中国人交流。所以，目标的不一致，就导致了会议上出现了若干的尴尬。 导致以上的问题，有很多复杂的因素，我们需要细致思索。希望明年2010年1月18-20日的第四届会议能够克服这些问题，更上一层楼。我已将相关论文征集通知作为附件上传，欢迎感兴趣的博友积极参与。我们会议目前的网址： http://c onference.hrbeu.edu.cn。
Workshop on 2nd Natural Language Processing and Ontology Engineering (NLPOE2009) （ http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/IAT09/workshops.htm ） In conjunction with The 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI-09) September 15-18, 2009, Milan, Italy Call for Papers Natural Language Processing (NLP) addresses the problems of automated understanding and generation of natural human languages. The former identifies the syntactic structure of a sentence, judges the semantic relations among the syntactic constituents, in hopes of reaching at an eventual understanding of the sentence. The latter process constructs the semantic structures and syntactic constituents according to the semantic and syntactic properties of the lexical items selected, and eventually generates grammatically well-formed sentences. The goal of the NLP applications is to facilitate human-machine communication using natural languages. In particular, it is to establish various computer application software systems to process natural language, such as machine translation, computer-assisted teaching, information retrieval, automatic text categorization, automatic summarization, speech recognition and synthesis, information extraction from the text, intelligent search on the Internet. Today, with the wide use of the Internet, the demand for language information puts a high premium on automated processing of massive language information. Ontology engineering is a subfield of artificial intelligence and computer science, which aims at a structured representation of terms and relationship between the terms within particular domain, with the purpose to facilitate knowledge sharing and knowledge reuse. Ontology project involves the development of Ontology building programs, Ontology life-cycle management, the research of Ontology building methods, support tools and ontology languages, and a series of similar activities. Ontologies have found important applications in information sharing, system integration, knowledge-based software development and many other issues in software industry. However, ontology engineering is a time-consuming and painstaking endeavor, and NLP technology has important contributions to make in quick and automatic development of ontologies. This workshop will focus on the recent advances made in Ontology engineering and NLP, with the aim to promote the interaction between and common growth of the two areas. We are particularly interested in the building of upper-level language ontology in NLP and the application of NLP technology in Ontology engineering. More importantly, we expect that individuals and research institutions in the areas of both Ontology engineering and NLP could pay attention to this workshop, which may contribute to the integration and growth of these two areas. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.Natural language understanding, including syntactic parsing, word sense disambiguation, semantic role labeling etc; 2.Text mining, including named entity recognition, term recognition, term and synonyms and concept extraction, relation extraction etc) 3.Lexical resources and corpora, including dictionaries, thesaurus, ontology, etc; 4.Ontology learning and population from text, Web and other resources; 5.Application issues of ontology based NLP: information extraction, text categorization, text summarization and other applications; 6.Other topics of relevance in ontology learning, ontology evolution, ontology modeling and ontology application etc. Paper Submission Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 4 pages (only one more page is available and extra payment is required for the extra page). The papers must be in English and should be formatted according to the IEEE 2-column format (see the Author Guidelines at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/final/wi08.xml ). All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least 2 program committee members on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. The workshop only accepts on-line submissions. Please use the Submission Form on the WI'09 website to submit your paper. Publication All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press that are indexed by EI, and will be available at the workshops.

今年里，先后三次参加了国内同行在国内举办的国际会议。会议规模可从近百人到数百人。这些会议对于促进国内学者与国际同行之间的切磋，提升国内研究工作的水平，开阔研究生们的视野，无疑都是十分难得的机会。然而，令人不可思议的是，每次会议上都屡屡发生这样令人不愉的事情。会议日程（ program ）上安排好的报告，到了报告时间，报告人居然没有出现。这甚至也发生在某些邀请报告的场合。使得会议组织者、主持会议的分会主席和听众们十分尴尬、无奈。特别是远道而来的老外们，对此大惑不解（因为这在境外的国际会议上并非常见）。也曾出现过，被安排的分会主席（ 国内的 教授）届时无端缺席的情况。或许是这些缺席者压根儿就不晓得国际会议的游戏规则，但从效果上来看，显然是一种对他人缺乏尊重，而且难以原谅的失礼行为。 承办任何一次国际会议，组织者为了确保会议的成功，都要付出大量的辛勤劳动。其中一项很重要的工作便是编排会议的 program ，以保证会议的顺利进行和尽可能高的学术水平。根据特邀专家和投稿摘要， program 的编排既要考虑到报告内容在学术上的相关性（分解成若干主题的 session ），也要考虑到投稿者来自的国家（地区）和单位，以使作口头报告的单位能够具有代表性。受会议时间的限制，不能被安排为口头报告的工作，则作为展板张贴（ poster ）。 一旦投稿人的摘要被会议录用为口头报告，便意味着将在会议上占用一部分时间。若因故不能参加会议，报告人应该尽早地在 program 编制好（印刷）之前，通知会议的组织者，以便于组织者对 program 进行调正和重新编排。报告在 program 上印出后，很可能会引起他人的兴趣，怀着期望而来会上倾听。因此，会上的反常缺席，便无端地浪费了他人的时间。这无论是对会议组织者，还是对听众，都是一种极其不负责任的行为。也剥夺了其他人利用这一时间段展示工作的机会。毫无疑问，这种行为是不讲究的。 对于规模较大的会议，将会有若干个在时间上平行进行的分会。有些与会者将根据自己的兴趣，按照 program 上的时间表，去不同的分会听取报告（跑来跑去）。因此，按照惯例，安排在中间时段的报告即使空缺，随后的报告仍要按原日程上的时间进行，不能随意提前，听众们也只能无奈地休息。 这样的情况多了，便将一个好端端的会议肢解得七零八落。 很多老外对此十分抱怨、恼怒，当场便表示，今后对这样的会议将不再光顾。 以前在境外召开的国际会议，也曾听到过会议组织者的抱怨，（中国人）说不来就不来，从不打招呼（美国的情况例外，因有时拿不到签证）。这样的名声导致他们，要么将中国人的报告安排在 session 的最后，要么是听众较少的最后一天，甚至干脆就是 poster 。说得严重些，至少在一部分西方人眼里，中国人没有诚信，也不懂得尊重别人。长此以往的后果便是人家不愿意带你玩，也再无兴趣参与你所组织的游戏。 赢得别人的尊重，首先要尊重别人，考虑别人的感受。我们是泱泱大国，礼仪之邦。我们的学者们实在是没有什么理由如此潇洒，如此自由。更应该多一份责任感，少干点儿那些不给国人长脸的事儿。
