CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
=====================================

The IEA-AIE 2008 invites proposals for Special Sessions to be held at the general conference.

The Special Sessions intend to provide researchers in focused areas
the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as offer a
forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers. A Special
Session will consist of a group of papers in a sub-discipline of applied
artificial intelligence related to the main topics of the conference. The
papers will be required to meet the same standards and will be published
in the conference proceedings, in a bound volume by Springer-Verlag in
their 'Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence' series. All papers, .....

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and PhD Scholarship in Service-Oriented
Architectures
=======================

The Centre for Information Technology Research (CITR) at Swinburne has
the following two research positions in Service-Oriented Architectures
available
immediately:

* A Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Fellow (academic level A or B),
* An APAI PhD Scholarship (stipend: $30k pa).

These researchers are to join a research project investigating Rich
Service Registries (RSR), funded by the ARC and CA (Computer Associates).

The Rich Service Registries will be the centre piece of future enterprise
information systems deploying the service-oriented architecture. The
project aims to create an extensible framework for rich service registries
that allow an enterprise's IT services to be characterised, located
and managed according to their business and system properties in an
intelligent and dynamic manner. It provides methods, techniques and a .....
