WORKSHOP ON LOGICAL AND UNCERTAINTY MODELS
FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS
University College London (UCL), London, England
5-6 July 1999
The purpose of the workshop is to promote discussion and interaction
among members of the Information Systems community with research
interests in logical and uncertainty models for the treatment of
semi-structured and unstructured information. We are particularly
interested in experiences dealing with unstructured or poorly
structured information, since we believe that a very large part of the
information that will be available in future will be of this nature.
The workshop aims at being an international forum for the presentation
of both theoretical and applicative results. Papers describing
application experiences are particularly encouraged.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Authors are invited to submit original papers of at most 10 pages by
e-mail to one of the email addresses below, using "LUMIS99 Submission"
as the subject line. Please submit the paper in postscript.
There is no particular format for the submission, but the cover page
should include title, authors, and the coordinates of the
corresponding author. Authors should also indicate in the first page
which of the thematic areas best describes the content of the paper
(if none is appropriate, please give a set of keywords that best
describe the topic of the paper).
To be considered, submissions must be received no later than February
12. Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by March 12.
All accepted contributions will be published in a public report of the
Queen Mary & Westfield College (to be confirmed). The format
guidelines for the final paper version will be announced later. Final
camera-ready copies of accepted papers will be due by May 1st 1999.
A number of selected papers, whose final version will have to be
received by April 12, will be published in the ECSQARU'99 conference
proceedings.
