Journler for the Mac

June 29, 2006 · Leave a Comment

Just to quote its developer, Philip Dow, should suffice: “Journler is the premier notebook and entry based information manager for the Macintosh.” He is right about that. I just learned about this nice tool (Thanks, Cedric!) and would like to recommend it to any Macintosh user. Check it out: http://journler.phildow.net http://www.journler.com.

Semantic Desktop and Social Semantic Collaboration Workshop @ ISWC 2006

June 25, 2006 · Leave a Comment

This is one of the major dissemination acitivites among Semantic Web researchers for my current project Nepomuk – The Social Semantic Desktop. We will not only present our research and development results but learn and discuss about the state of the art of the Semantic Desktop and collaboration enhancements, in order to make it “social”. Thus, it should not come as a surprise to find quite a few Nepomuk project members in the Program Committee (including myself). The call for papers is here.

3rd International Conference on Human Centered Processes HCP 2007

June 25, 2006 · Leave a Comment

Parick Brezillon, a colleague from University of Paris with whom I did a workshop and journal issue on Modeling and Retrieval of Context, asked me to be part of Program Committe of the above mentioned conference, which I happily accepted. Being interested in context and explanation research, issues of human-machine interaction are of major interest for my research. So check this conference out: Human Centered Processes HCP 2007

FGWM 2006 – Workshop and meeting of the SIG Knowledge Management

June 21, 2006 · Leave a Comment

Every couple of years the special interest group Knowledge Management organizes a workshop in order to meet and discuss work in progress. I enjoy these events especially because it is a great opportunity for networking, refreshing existing as well as building new contacts in the knowledge management community. For example, at the last meeting at Humboldt University Berlin (FGWM 2004) I met a Diploma Student presenting a poster for some research work from another DFKI department in Saarbrücken. He was at this event by chance and learned a great deal about research and research work. In the meantime he became a researcher, something he never considered before.
I would like to encourage students to consider pursueing a career in academia and to think about submitting a paper and/or to visit this event at the University of Hildesheim: FGWM 2006.
