CALL FOR PAPERS

FQAS 2004
Sixth International Conference on Flexible Query Answering Systems
June 24-26 2004
Lyon, France

http://www.fqas2004.org
http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~fqas2004/

            *** Submission Deadline: January 4, 2004 ***

FQAS is the premier conference for researchers and practitioners
concerned with the vital necessity to provide easy, flexible, and
intuitive access to information for every type of need.  This
multidisciplinary conference draws on several research areas,
including databases, information retrieval, knowledge representation,
soft computing, multimedia, and human-computer interaction. Held every
two years, the conference provides a medium for exchanging scientific
research and technological achievements accomplished by the
international community. The previous events were held in Roskilde,
Warsaw, and Copenhagen.

INVITED SPEAKERS
Serge Abiteboul, INRIA France
Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland USA
Yuzuru Tanaka, Hokkaido University Japan

OVERALL THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
The overall theme of the FQAS conferences is innovative query systems
aimed at providing easy, flexible and intuitive access to information.
Such systems are intended to facilitate retrieval from information
repositories such as databases, libraries, and the World Wide Web.
These repositories are typically equipped with standard query systems,
which are often inadequate, and the focus of FQAS is the development
of query systems that are more expressive, informative, cooperative
and productive.

This conference is intended to attract individuals who are actively
engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of flexible,
intelligent and intuitive access to information. The goal is to
provide a platform for a useful exchange between theoreticians and
practitioners, and to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas in the
following areas:
- Database Management
- Information Retrieval
- Domain Modeling, Knowledge Representation and Ontologies
- Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
- Artificial Intelligence
- Classical and Non-Classical Logics
- Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing
- Multimedia Information Systems
- Human-Computer Interaction

The conference is interested in papers in all areas of research
related to its theme, including formal models, algorithms,
applications, and experiments. In addition, we solicit papers dealing
with Applications of flexible access to information in complex/novel
domains, e.g. human genome, global change, manufacturing, health care,
etc.
