Preliminary Call for Papers
[txt] [pdf]
[printable pdf]
Time dimension has always been
considered an integral part of every information system. Many research and
implementation projects focusing on time aspects of information systems have
been developed in the recent decades. Recently, researchers have become more
and more interested in analyzing temporal references in Web documents
(semi-structured information) stored in either Internet or intranet text
database systems.
The time axis offers a clearly-defined, common and objective dimension for
describing data stored in various formats. Almost any object that may be
represented in a business information system may be described in terms of
the time dimension. This brings new chances of business data analysis and
opportunities to develop new standards and solutions for contemporary
information systems.
The goal of this special session is to give researchers and developers, who
deal with temporal aspects of unstructured information (documents) and
structured information (data), an opportunity to discuss the impact that
time management has had and can have on business information systems, to
exchange ideas, and to present state-of-art solutions in the area.
Topics of Interest
TABIS 2003 invites submissions related to time aspects
of business information systems, which manage either unstructured or
structured data. Papers submitted must clearly demonstrate relevance to time
aspects of business information systems. Suggested topics include but are
not limited to:

Temporal relationships between documents and data in
knowledge management systems |
|
Temporal query languages |
|
Timeliness in Web documents |

|
Temporal analysis of retrieved unstructured
information |

Submission
Special session submissions must follow BIS-2003
submission process policies. Generally, there are two categories of
submissions: research papers and work-in-progress papers.

B.
Work
in progress
