DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: 30 September 2002

Increasingly, firms are looking for an edge against their competition.
A number of AI-based approaches are providing that edge by exploiting
the ability to:
o facilitate integration across companies for e-business
o interpret and understand data
The Web is providing an infrastructure that can be leveraged using AI.
In addition, with information overload, there is a need to use AI to be
able to process the available information.
WORKSHOP TOPICS
Papers are welcome on any use of artificial intelligence for business
applications, including but not limited to:
o agents and the semantic web
o e-business applications, e.g. automated contracting and negotiation
o competitive analysis
o data mining and visualization; machine learning and knowledge
discovery
o dynamic pricing - recommendation and reputation systems
o representation, communication, and execution of business policies,
rules, and processes
o xml-based technologies
o web services
We welcome either full papers (following the standard 14-page ES2002
submission format) or 2-page position statements. Formatting details are
on the ES2002 website: http://www.bcs-sges.org/es2002/
Please submit by email attachment (PDF or Word format) to: [log in to unmask]
The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2002.
FORMAT
We anticipate that the workshop will include sessions in which:
o developers present emerging e-business and intelligent web
technologies
o practitioners review lessons-learned in exploiting current e-business
and intelligent web solutions
o researchers present papers on established and emerging issues
LENGTH OF WORKSHOP
The workshop is intended to run for a half-day. If the level of interest
is very high, it might be extended to a full day.
