(bu
e-postayı lütfen bölümünüzdeki tüm öğretim üyeleri ve araştırma
görevlilerine iletiniz.)
Sayın
Prof. Dr. Atilla Elçi ,
Eğitim
ve araştırma kurumlarında çalışanların, akademik yükseltilmelerinde en
büyük ağırlığın, yayınları olduğu bilinmektedir. Bilişim alanında,
ülkemizde yayın yapılabilecek ortamların çok sınırlı olduğu bir
gerçektir. Olanlar ise akademik çalışanların yükselme gereklerinde
işlerine yarayacak nitelikte değildir. Türkçe akademik yayınların
azlığının bir önemli nedeninin de bu olduğu düşünülmektedir. Uluslararası
ortamlarda yayın yapmanın özendirilmesi yerinde bir davranış olarak
nitelenebilir. Ancak, Türkçe yayın yapılmadığı sürece, Türkçe bilim
dilinin gelişmeyeceği de bir gerçektir. Bilişim alanında çalışanlar
olarak, Türkçe bilim dilinin gelişmesine katkı sağlamamızın bir görev
olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
Bu
nedenlerle, TBV tarafından, hakemli bir derginin çıkarılmasına karar
verilmiştir. Derginin amacı, içeriği, ve işleyiş biçimi aşağıda
açıklanmıştır.
Derginin
Amaç ve İşleyişi
Bilgisayar
Bilimleri ve Mühendisliği Dergisinin bilişim alanındaki akademik
çalışmaların yayınlanması amacıyla yılda en az iki kez yayınlanması
hedeflenmektedir. Dergi, makale ve kısa makale kabul edecektir. Makaleler
için en çok 16 sayfa ayırılacaktır. Kısa makaleler için 2-4 sayfa yeterli
olacaktır. Dergide yayınlanacak olan tüm makalelerin özgün çalışma eseri
olması beklenmektedir. Tüm makaleler Türkçe yazılmış olacaktır. Türkçe
teknik terimler konusuna özen gösterilecektir. Bu konuda yazarlara yol
gösterilecek, öneriler sunulacak ve gerekirse, belli terimleri
kullanmaları istenecektir.
Bildirilerin
başında, Türkçe özetçenin yanısıra İngilizce özetçe de bulunacaktır.
Dergiye gönderilen yazılar bir hakem heyeti tarafından
değerlendirilmektedir. Hakem heyeti belli sayıda kişiden oluşmakta, ancak
kişiler bildiri konusuna göre değişmektedir. Hangi konularda kimlerin
hakemlik yapabilecekleri her yıl bölüm başkanları tarafından
belirlenecektir. Ancak gerektiğinde, bu kümenin dışına çıkılabilecektir.
Dergiye saygınlık kazandıracak en önemli etkenin hakem heyeti olduğu
düşünülmektedir.
Derginin
sürekliliğini bir yönetim kurulu sağlamaktadır. Bu kurul, derginin
yönetiminden ve yayına hazırlanmasından sorumludur. Aynı zamanda, gelen
bildirilerin ön değerlendirmesini yapıp, ilgili hakemlere ulaştırmakla
görevli olacaktır. Hakemlerden gelen değerlendirme sonuçlarına bakarak,
bildirilerin yayınlanıp yayınlanmayacağı sonucuna varacaktır. Aynı kurul,
onay almış bildirileri düzenleyip yayına hazırlayacaktır.
Bilgisayar
Bilimleri ve Mühendisliği Dergisi'nin üçüncü sayısı için sizden ve
çalışma arkadaşlarınızdan aşağıda belirtilen formattaki makalelerinizi
göndermenizi rica ederiz.
Makale Gönderme
Dergiye makale göndermek isteyenler, istedikleri an
makalelerini gönderebilirler. Gönderilen makalelerden kabul edilenler,
belli bir sıra ile, dergide yayınlanacaktır. 20 Temmuz 2008 tarihine
kadar gönderilen makaleler, derginin 3. sayısında yayınlanacaktır.
Makaleler, dergi editörüne (adali@...) e-posta olarak
gönderilebilir.
Yazım
Kalıbı
Dergiye
gönderilecek makaleler ekte verilen kalıba uygun olarak hazırlanacaktır.

Subject: [KAW] Call for papers:DaWaK 2008 - 10th Int. Conference on Data
Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery
Apologies for multiple copies due to cross postings.
Please send to interested colleagues and students.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
10th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery
(DaWaK 2008)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Call for Papers
===================
Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery has been widely accepted as a key
technology for enterprises and organisations to improve their abilities in
data analysis, decision support, and the automatic extraction of knowledge
from data. With the exponential growing amount of information to be included
in the decision making process, the data to be considered becomes more and
more complex in both structure and semantics. Consequently, the process
of retrieval and knowledge discovery from this huge amount of heterogeneous
complex data builds the litmus-test for the research in the area.
During the past years, the International Conference on Data Warehousing and
Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK) has become one of the most important
international scientific events to bring together researchers, developers
and practitioners to discuss latest research issues and experiences in
developing and deploying data warehousing and knowledge discovery systems,
applications, and solutions. This year’s conference (DaWaK 2008), builds on
this tradition of facilitating the cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas,
experience and potential research directions.
DaWaK 2008 seeks to introduce innovative principles, methods, algorithms and
solutions to challenging problems faced in the development of data
warehousing, knowledge discovery and data mining applications. Submissions
presenting current research work on both theoretical and practical aspects
of data warehousing and knowledge discovery are encouraged. Particularly,
we strongly welcome submissions dealing with emerging real world
applications such as real-time data warehousing, analysis of spatial and
spatiotemporal data, OLAP mining, mobile OLAP, mining natural science data

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL EDUCATION
THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL EDUCATION
will continue to offer the University Elective course for post-graduate students
ENGL 501 Advanced Writing I
during the Spring Semester of 2007-08 Academic Year.
ENGL 501 is a post-graduate academic English course. The purpose of this course is to develop the academic writing skills of MA/MS and Ph.D. candidates. The prime focus will be on examining authentic academic texts, and analysing such elements as structure, vocabulary, and style, especially in theses and dissertations. Participants will then be invited to exploit this detailed understanding of textual dynamics in their own writing and helped to produce work that is accurate, concise, and appropriate.
Please note that it is advisable to enroll on this course in the 2nd or 3rd semester of the Master’s program.

CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
3rd IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems (ESAS
2008)
July 28 - August 1, 2008, Turku, Finland
In Conjunction with
32nd IEEE Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference
(COMPSAC 2008) (http://www.compsac.org/) co-located with IPSJ/IEEE SAINT
Conference (http://saintconference.org/).
Beginning 2006, COMPSAC is designated as the IEEE Computer Society Signature
Conference on Software Technology and Applications.
WORKSHOP THEME
--------------
Applying Semantic Web Technologies in Research and Development of Software
Agents, Mobile Agents and Multi-Agent Systems towards INTEGRATING THE
DISTRIBUTED WORLDS.
Semantic web technologies render dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, shared
content equally accessible to human reader and software agents. Distributed
agents functioning autonomously can utilize semantic Web content to gather
and aggregate knowledge, reason and infer new results towards achieving
their goals and generating new knowledge. Such knowledge in turn may be
disseminated and used to achieve the shared goal of the agents system. Here
the vision is to achieve a synergy with multi-agent systems (MAS)
technologies whereby both semantics and agents will be equally in the center
stage.
ESAS workshop series aims at garnering the synergy of both technologies by
taking up both the semantic web and the agent aspects of the common research
issue. Topics of interest span a wide spectrum in both theory and practice
of autonomous semantic agents, context-aware intelligent agents, agents as
semantic web services, software agents, mobile agents, agent architectures,
multi-agent systems, agent communities, cooperation and goal seeking through
sharing policy and ontology, safety & security in systems, other QoS issues,
and so on.
Mobile agent and MAS technologies are crucial in realizing multi-party
dynamic application systems. Semantic Web technologies augment MAS by
enabling agents with functioning based on the semantics of their mission and
of the world around them. Agents, implemented as Web services in developing
distributed control and processing applications, entail interesting
consequences such as situation awareness, semantic composition of services,
context sensitive long-lasting transactions, effecting service policies and
quality levels, etc. Complex applications could become realizable with novel
features such as factory floor automation for flexible production,
collaborative discovery of uncharted geography (for example, cooperative
labyrinth discovery), traffic management and info dissemination with
facilitation of emergency services, financial markets forecasting with
optimization of portfolio gain, etc.
We envisage a strong undercurrent of intelligent software agents, mobile
agents, and MAS running through this workshop; side by side with the use of
semantic Web technologies, there are several foci of interest:
* Software Agents, Mobile Agents, and MAS: issues relating to architecture,
implementation, coordination, service levels, security, etc. of semantic or
otherwise agents.
* Agent, MAS and Semantic Web Technologies: concomitant utilization of
specific technologies in agent, MAS, and semantic Web implementations;
semantic agent communities & applications; case studies of best-practice MAS
applications; projects in the making;
* Ontology for Agents and MAS: agent cooperation and coordination ontology;
ontology of workflow in MAS; ontology for distributed applications and
integration; sharing and semantic interoperability; discovery and operations
on ontology; trust & security issues;
* Platforms for agent and MAS implementation: languages, frameworks, tools,
integrated development environments and software engineering practices
supporting semantic or otherwise software agent & MAS architectures,
coordination, trust & security mechanisms, description, discovery and
composition of agent-based services.
* Other subjects of relevance in semantic software agents, mobile agents,
agent-based and multi-agent systems.

It's unfortunate that I learned today the passing away of Prof. Dr. Baki KOMSUOĞLU (previous rector of Kocaeli Univ.), my wife Alev's uncle, and his funeral will take place either Thursday (tomorrow) or Friday noon in Ankara. Alev and I are very much grieved as we were attached to him and we are compelled to attend the funeral. So we will be away Thursday and Friday.
Consequently, I'll rearrange our schedule as follows:
- Project reports due on 29th January noon. Please send me the exact title of your project ASAP.
- Project presentation due on 30th January morning. I'll arrange a schedule and announce it after receiving your project titles.
- Your final take home exam papers will be due as already announced on 28th January noon time.
I hope this rescheduling does not inconvenience you in any way. In any case you're welcome to contact me for any concerns.
