CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
3RD ASIS SIG/CR CLASSIFICATION RESEARCH WORKSHOP  

 
The American Society for Information Science Special Interest
Group on Classification Research (ASIS SIG/CR) invites
submissions for the 3rd ASIS Classification Research Workshop, 
to be held at the 55th Annual Meeting of ASIS in Pittsburgh,PA. 
The  workshop will take place Sunday, October 25th, 1992, 8:30 
a.m. - 5:00 p.m.  ASIS `92 continues through Thursday, October
29th.
 
The CR Workshop is designed to be an exchange of ideas among
active researchers with interests in the creation, development,
management, representation, display, comparison, compatibility,
theory, and application of classification schemes. Emphasis will
be on semantic classification, in contrast to statistically based
schemes. Topics include, but are not limited to:
 
 
	Warrant for concepts in classification schemes * Concept
	acquisition * Basis for semantic classes * Automated
	techniques to assist in creating classification schemes *
	Statistical techniques used for developing explicit
	semantic classes * Relations and their properties *
	Inheritance and subsumption * Knowledge representation
	schemes * Classification algorithms * Procedural
	knowledge in classification schemes * Reasoning with
	classification schemes * Software for management of
	classification schemes * Interfaces for displaying
	classification schemes * Data structures and programming
	languages for classification schemes * Image
	classification * Comparison and compatibility between
	classification schemes * Applications such as subject
	analysis, natural language understanding, information
	retrieval, expert systems.
 
The CR Workshop welcomes submissions from various
disciplines.  Those interested in participating are invited to
submit a short (1-2 page single-spaced) position paper
summarizing substantive work that has been conducted in the
above areas or other areas related to semantic classification
schemes, and a statement briefly outlining the reason for
wanting to participate in the workshop. Submissions may include
background papers as attachments. Participation will be of two
kinds: presenter and regular participant. Those selected as
presenters will be invited to submit expanded versions of their
position papers and to speak to those papers in brief
presentations during the workshop. All position papers (both
expanded and short papers) will be published in proceedings to be
distributed prior to the workshop. The workshop registration fee
is $35.00, which includes lunch and refreshments.
 
Submissions should be made by email, or diskette accompanied
by paper copy, or paper copy only (fax or postal) to arrive by May
15, 1992 to:
