The 24th International Conference
on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases
EJC 2014
June 3-6, 2014, Kiel, Germany
The series of European – Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases (EJC)
originally started as a co-operation initiative between Japan and Finland in 1982. The practical operations
were then organized by professor Ohsuga in Japan and professors Hannu Kangassalo and Hannu Jaakkola
in Finland (Nordic countries). Geographical scope has expanded to cover Europe and also other countries.
Workshop characteristic - discussion, enough time for presentations and limited number of participants
(50) / papers (30) - is typical for the conference.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
1. Conceptual modelling: Modelling and specification languages; Domain-specific conceptual mod-
elling; Concepts, concept theories and ontologies; Conceptual modelling of large and heterogeneous
systems; Conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal and biological data; Methods for developing,
validating and communicating conceptual models.
2. Knowledge and information modelling and discovery: Knowledge discovery, knowledge repre-
sentation and knowledge management; Advanced data mining and analysis methods; Conceptions
of knowledge and information; Modelling information requirements; Intelligent information sys-
tems; Information recognition and information modelling.
3. Linguistic modelling: Models of HCI; Information delivery to users; Intelligent informal querying;
Linguistic foundation of information and knowledge; Fuzzy linguistic models; Philosophical and
linguistic foundations of conceptual models.
4. Cross-cultural communication and social computing: Cross-cultural support systems; Integra-
tion, evolution and migration of systems; Collaborative societies; Multicultural web-based software
systems; Intercultural collaboration and support systems; Social computing, behavioral modeling
and prediction.
5. Environmental modelling and engineering: Environmental information systems (architecture);
Spatial, temporal and observational information systems; Large-scale environmental systems; Col-
laborative knowledge base systems; Agent concepts and conceptualisation; Hazard prediction, pre-
vention and steering systems.
6. Multimedia data modelling and systems: Modelling multimedia information and knowledge;
Content-based multimedia data management; Content-based multimedia retrieval; Privacy and con-
text enhancing technologies; Semantics and pragmatics of multimedia data; Metadata for multime-
dia information systems.

The new organisation of the conference
A common observation for most conferences is that authors and contributors follow the pattern
(1)come
(2) prepare for your talk
(3) don’t listen to other talks
(4) be engaged with your next duties.
This behaviour leads to a low benefit of the conference besides the publication and to a little benefit while
submitting to and participating in this conference. Your paper will not get the attention it deserves.
General schedule and organisation
This conference will however follow a different schedule and style. It is our aim to have a real interacting
participants community at the conference. We thus extend the approach of the FoIKS (www.foiks.org),
ADBIS 2010, iDB and other conferences with novel understanding of sessions, participation, discussion
and interaction during and before and after the event, being a community by
• special sessions that bring researchers together and should result in co-authoring of future papers,
• implementing a different style of paper presentation so that everybody will understand all other
contributions at the conference,
• special discussion forums before and after the paper presentation, and
• being already introduced to selected papers to be given at the conference before the conference.
It is our goal
• to enable active knowledge exchange within the modelling community,
• to stimulate cross-group research and publications,
• to produce a real scientific impact,
• to integrate young researchers into the scientific community,
• to overcome the shortcomings of traditional conferences, and
• to benefit from the experience of senior researchers from other groups.
We also target on
• making profit of the experience of senior researchers (based on iDB style),
• stimulating exchange with practioneers and potential users of new ideas,
• generating a set of good demonstration examples for future papers, and
• compilation of open problems in the area of modelling together with ideas how to tackle those
problems.
Following the tradition of the EJC conferences long paper presentations have 30 minutes (25’ for the talk),
short paper presentations 20 minutes (16’ for the talk), position paper presentations 15 minutes (12’ for
the talk), and challenges papers 10 minutes slots.

The Appetiser session
This conference will have an appetiser session in which each participant with a talk can show what is
the main message of the talk and why somebody should listen to it. This session allows everybody to
be informed about all talks at the beginning of the conference. It allows each participant to capture the
message, the achievements and the area of a conference paper. Each listener of your talk should be able
to know what to discuss with you after your appetiser.
Appetiser session: Prepare 3 slides for a 3-minutes advertisement of your paper:
Slide 1: title, name, affiliation, email
main message of your presentation for less than 1 minute
Slide 2: achievements reached so far
why somebody should listen to your paper for 1 minute
Slide 3: interest in topic and expectations for discussion at the conference,
your discussion proposal for listeners of your paper
All appetiser slides are delivered in advance, i.e. by Thursday, May 29th, 2014.
The Collaboration Cluster Initiation session
The second session will be a collaboration session in which a small group of participants explains to
each other what is the essence of their talks, discusses what is of common interest and what should be
the response to the given talk. The cluster groups will commonly exchange the papers of interest before
the conference. Only after these two sessions we shall have the classical presentation program with one
exception: groups are then posing questions, requests and thoughts first.
The Collaboration among Participants
On Thursday afternoon a special session is devoted to the collaboration clusters.
The Collaboration Cluster reporting session
On the last day we shall listen to the collaboration proposals. These proposals are the basis for a common
cluster paper in the final proceedings. The main issue of these papers is a discussed list of open and
important problems.
The Panel concept: Octavian Circle
The panel discussions are going to be organised in an Octavian circle. It is similar to the way philosophers
organise their discussions.
Octavian panel is a round table-table discussion with 8 (Octavian) people on the scene and a larger
audience. Only those people can talk who are on the scene. The talk time is restricted to 3 minutes.
Panellists may leave the scene at any time to join the audience, thus opening for a new panellist on the
scene. There is a queue among participants in the auditory who want to contribute and to enter the panel.
Anybody can leave or reserve a place in the queue. Questions from outside can be forwarded through the
moderator. The moderator cannot leave the scene. The moderator’s contribution is limited to 1 minute.
The first two rounds of the panellists are pre-selected. This does not mean that this will be the order of
contributing.

Session 11: 16:00-17:30, GESL International Training Seminar on Ubiquitous and Multi-
media Systems for Environmental, Social and Cross-cultural Computing
The aim of the GESL International Training Seminar is to consider and create the international education
and research environment by exchanging our scientific and industrial views and experiences in global
environmental issues and other related research fields. The main topic of this seminar is to discuss a
collaborative research environment on the GESL International Training System, which consists of the
GESL students, the GESL faculty members and the participated international collaborators. Especially in
this time, we would like to exchange our views on the education and research theme of ubiquitous com-
puting and multimedia systems for environmental, social and cross-cultural computing, which are based
on the multimedia information systems, ubiquitous systems, multimedia data analysis, social computing
systems, multimedia contents, mobile computing systems, sensing device technologies, and further in-
novative technologies are also expected. This seminar will be a great opportunity to create and explore
significant research and system development for the GESL International Training System and the future
direction of the environmental research issues of the world.

Session 12: 19:00-20:00, Panel discussion
Social and Environmental Data Analysis and Mining for Global Resilient Society
Humankind faces the most essential and indispensable mission; we must endeavor on a global scale to
perpetually restore and improve our natural and social environments. The important computation in envi-
ronmental study is context-dependent-differential computation to analyze the changes of various situations
(temperature, color, CO2, places of livings, sea level, coral area, etc.) In this session, we discuss global
environmental computing methodology for analyzing difference and diversity of nature and livings with a
large amount of information resources in terms of global environments.

The social program
The Green Tea Ceremony: Tuesday, June 3, 20:00
given by Takako Hashimoto
A Traditional Japanese tea ceremony will be demonstrated.
If you are interested in having a Green Tea (Maccha), please join.
The historic ship tour: Wednesday, June 4, 14:00-18:00
We are going to sail on the historic ship Hanse Kogge for about 4 hours around the Kiel fjord. This ship
is a historic remake of ships travelling around the Baltic and the North sea around 1380.
For the duration of the trip, you will be a member of the ship’s crew. Please follow the captain’s orders
at all times. He is responsible for the ship and also for the crew. Therefore, his requests and orders must
be followed without discussion.
Please bring with you appropriate shoes (no sandals) and an anorak. Being on the ship might
also be a bit windy. Although weather is typically nice in June, the water temperature still causes s fresh
breeze in any case. You should also bring some sunscreen lotion with a high protection factor to protect
from the sun’s rays.
If you do not wish to participate in the sailing trip, please let us know in advance. In this case
we can give your ticket to somebody else.
13
One person per registration is covered by the conference fees. We are restricted to 40 participants.
Additional tickets can only be obtained if there is space. Children are not allowed on the cruise.
Please notice that we need to register in advance for the boat tour due to the regulations of such
cruises. So, please register using the special form on our website until May, 23rd, 2014. Only registered
participants can participate.
Conference visitors who do not participate in the sailing trip are invited to join the alternative social
event, described below. If the weather is too rough for the cruise, this holds for everyone.
If you have some sailing experience and wish to actually lend a hand to the professional crew, you
might give us a sign during registration or before. In this case, you will become a real crew member and
work together with the captain and the crew.
Alternative: Haithabu (Hedeby)
As an alternative to the boat trip, we offer a visit of the historic viking settlement of Haithabu (Hedeby).
Haithabu was the largest nordic city during the Viking Age. It was an important trading post from the 8th
to the 11th century. A part of the village was recently reconstructed using historically accurate building
materials on the original site. Take a stroll on the wall which protected the settlement for centuries,
overlooking the Haddebyer Noor. In the viking museum, you will learn about the everyday life in those
times. There are plenty of artifacts on display, which were recovered from the site, including the remains
of an authentic viking ship.
The conference dinner: Wednesday, June 4, 18:00 - ...
The conference dinner takes place at the Fjord, at the restaurant “Der Alte Mann” (The Old Man), right
after we return from the sailing trip. It will not be like classical conference dinners. You will be served a
rustic, maritime meal. If the weather is nice, it will be possible to sit outside, overlooking the boats on the
Fjord.
You may stay until the restaurant closes. Please use either public transport (e.g. the busses from the
railway station; about 800 m walk) or a taxi for the return.
