His research has been in databases, object-oriented technology, software engineering, and development of large-scale business information systems. Leszek A. Maciaszek published over eighty publications, including a reference book "Database Design and Implementation" (Prentice Hall, 1990) and a textbook "Requirements Analysis and System Design. Developing Information Systems with UML" (Addison Wesley, 2001).
Short description
The system design encompasses two major issues: the architectural design and the detailed design. The architectural design involves layered organisation of classes and packages, assignment of processes to computing facilities, reuse and component management. The detailed design addresses collaboration models required for the realisation of system functionality captured in use cases.
In the tutorial, the presenter will identify ways to:
-
harness the complexity of large design models,
-
improve software architectures,
-
facilitate software readability, maintainability and scalability,
-
promote layered structuring of objects,
-
handle module and component integration,
-
model collaboration between GUI and persistent database objects,
-
conduct round-trip engineering with database, etc.

TUTORIAL 2 DATA MINING TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS FOR INFORMATION FILTERING
Michalis Vazirgiannis
Athens University of Economics & Business (Greece)
About the author: Dr. Michalis Vazirgiannis acquired a Ph.D. degree in 1994 (Dept. of Informatics, U. Athens, Greece). The research area was Object Oriented modeling of Hypermedia Information Networks. Since then, he have conducted research in the Knowledge & DB Lab (Prof. T.Sellis group, N.T.U. Athens), in GMD-IPSI, Germany, in Fern University (Prof R.H.Gueting group in Hagen, Germany) and in project VERSO in INRIA/Paris. His research interests and work range from Interactive Multimedia Information Systems, to Spatiotemporal databases, Uncertainty and Data Mining. In 1997 he earned the position of Lecturer in "Database Systems" in the Dept. of Informatics of Athens University of Economic and Business, Greece.
Abstract:
The tutorial starts with an introduction on the fundamental concepts of data mining. Then we present techniques from the area of data pre-processing and cleaning, namely techniques for cleaning and maintaining the consistency of the data. An important topic covered is cluster analysis (unsupervised learning). Clustering aims at discovering groups and identifying interesting distributions and patterns in data sets and is applicable in many application domains in engineering and social sciences. We present a survey of clustering methods and approaches available in literature in a comparative way. Another important issue is the validity of the clustering schemes resulting from applying algorithms. This is also related to the inherent features of the data set under concern. We review and compare clustering validity measures available in the literature. We also present basic aspects of association rules extraction, on uncertainty handling and quality assessment in a data mining context. Furthermore, we present case studies from data mining in medical data and we address new research directions.

Abstract:
Web sites are progressively evolving from brows able, read-only information repositories that exploit the web to interact with their users, to web-based applications, combining navigation and search capabilities with operations and transactions typical of information systems. In parallel, the possibility of accessing web-based contents and services through a number of different devices, ranging from full-fledged desktop computers, to Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's), to mobile phones, to set-top boxes connected to TV’s, makes web applications ubiquitous, i.e., accessible anywhere at any time.
Ubiquitous Web Applications (UWA's for short) reveal a number of aspects, which make them different with respect to conventional data-intensive applications, and must be taken into account throughout the whole application lifecycle, from requirements to implementation. UWA's are executed in a Web-based environment, where the paradigm for presenting and accessing information is hypermedia-like. Thus UWA’s have a mixed nature - hypermedia and transactional, where hypertext structures and operation capabilities are strongly intertwined. In addition, the ubiquitous nature of a UWA implies that the application has to take into account the different constraints of different devices, comprising display size, local storage size, method of input and computing speed as well as network capacity. At the same time, ubiquity introduces new requirements on how the application tunes itself to the end user: each user may wish to get information, navigation patterns, lay-out, and services, that are tailored not only to his/her specific profile but also to the current situation of use, in its temporal and environmental aspects. Thus Ubiquitous Web Applications must be at the same time device-aware, user-aware, and context-of-use-aware, and require sophisticate forms of customization.
After an analysis of the novel requirements of UWA's, this talk will focus on their impact on the design process, and will discuss problems and challenges related to modeling information and navigation structures, operations and transactions, and customization mechanisms for this class of applications.
FROM WORKFLOWS TO SERVICE COMPOSITION IN
VIRTUAL ENTERPRISES

Abstract:
Workflow technologies have been used extensively to support process-based integration of activities within enterprises and are at the core of emerging Enterprise Integration Platform (EIP) technologies. Recently, a new abstraction of electronic services has begun to receive a lot of attention among researchers and in the vendor community. Electronic services provide the basis for creation of virtual enterprises (VE), which combine services from multiple providers. In this talk, we will discuss the advances that are needed to provide support for VEs. These include the ability to advertise, broker, synchronize and optimize the services. We will discuss the infrastructure needed to support VE application, show a prototype demo, and list important research problems that need to be solved.

Abstract:
Our interdisciplinary project "Warburg Electronic Library (WEL)" – Art History and Computer Science combined forces - uses as a test-bed application a large multimedia collection called "Index for Political Iconography (PI)".
The PI captures concepts from the "Political Space" through an extensive system of interrelated subject terms. Subject term and subject index are ontological concepts "regarding entities, especially abstract entities to be admitted into a language of description" [Webster] and are based on the semantic principles of aggregation, classification, generalization/specialization and association.
Since the semantics of subject terms is precisely what their class extensions contain, the main objective of subject-oriented work on PI-like systems is to carry subject term extensions „to their completion“. On the other hand, the notion of “completion“ depends on the view of the person or group who does the subject-oriented work and requires, therefore, personalized relationships between content and work.
In content management there is high interest in such "languages of description" and how people work with them:
-
what models and languages are required to make subject-oriented work more explicit?
-
what kind of support a digital library such as the WEL for subject-oriented work can provide?
-
what is the role of personalized and cooperating digital libraries?
-
to what extent do we already understand requirements and architectures of generic subject-oriented working environments?
-
and, as specifically emphasized in the PI: use of reference by icon, index, and symbol in subject-oriented work?
In this paper we discuss initial demands on models and environments for subject-oriented work and outline our WEL systems and application experience.
Our interdisciplinary research on subject-oriented work also puts our previous computer science research in polymorphic type systems, persistent language implementation, abstract machine architectures, models for migrating threads etc. into a new perspective and relates it to our commercial interests in online content management.

CONFERENCE VENUE
The Conference will be held at the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (http://www.vtu.lt/english/vgtu/) in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Lithuania (http://neris.mii.lt/) is a small, beautiful country lying on the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea and inhabited by one of the Baltic nations. The Lithuanians have preserved one of the oldest language, a unique culture and unique customs.
Vilnius (http://www.vilnius.sav.lt/tourism/) is the capital of Lithuania. It is a city that has to be explored. A day walking through the narrow, winding streets will give you a lot of impression. There is plenty to see. Masterpieces of local gothic, baroque and classicism, Gediminas Castle, folk art, museums, monuments of the former Soviet Empire, restful cafes, swinging bars, modern night clubs, handsome and imposing restaurants.
The largest Old Town in Eastern Europe gives you the feeling that you are walking through a museum, for practically every building is a relic of a sort. 27 km from Vilnius lays the ancient capital of Lithuania Trakai (http://www.tourism.lt/region/vilnius/trakai.htm). The Trakai Castle, an original relic of the Middle Ages, has survived on one of the islands on the Galve Lake to this day. 100 km from Vilnius lays the Lithuania's second largest city Kaunas (http://www.kaunas.lt/english/). There is a number of interesting museums, such as the Ciurlionis Museum with an exposition of more than 200 canvases by the great Lithuanian artist M.K. Ciurlionis, the exposition of folk "devil" sculptures, and the IXth Fort Museum, a memorial to the victims of fascism.
