IEEE (Wetice) Workshop on KNOWLEDGE MEDIA NETWORKING
ACM cooperation (pending)
Location: National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST),
Washington DC, USA
Date: June 14-16, 2000
Submission deadline: MARCH 10th, 2000

Following the successful first workshop held last year at Stanford
University, this workshop would provide a forum for researchers
involved in the design and development of knowledge media networking
spaces. These spaces would couple 3D media, knowledge, data,
instruments, and intellectual activity across space, time and
disciplinary boundaries. Exploiting agent trends, these spaces
could support people in finding and communicating with others
with similar interests, needs and goals, to form new communities
with their own traditions, cultures, norms, and conventions;
to build their own virtual environments on 3D media with unique
atmospheres and characteristics; to offer people new forms
of interaction and presentation in business, education, and
entertainment. The knowledge media spaces would support
sharable ontologies, processes for distributed classification
and taxonomy, collaborative knowledge construction,
representation and filtering tools, digital libraries and
repositories across disciplines and application domains.
Topics: include
- Applications ( Electronic Commerce, Learning, Entertainment, ..)
- Architectural aspects of designing knowledge media spaces (3D virtual
presence, internet, agents, mobility, VRML, MPEG4, MPEG7, TV..)
- Frameworks and initiatives (NSF KDI (KN), FIPA..)
- Interconnection of heterogeneous communities, resource sharing,..
- How can people socially augment knowledge bandwidth, through
gathering, discussing, contributing, annotating and rating?
- What types of agents should be offered and what roles should
they have (distributed cognition, dynamic adaptation, focus of
attention, social awareness..)?
- What features are needed to increase impact of the knowledge networked
environment for social interactions, cooperative communication?
- What kind of rules, artifacts, conventions and infrastructure must
be provided to help community members self organize and manage their
affairs, increase knowledge bandwidth, develop a feeling of social
awareness?
