Basic information
——————

DATESO workshop is a meeting of people interested in databases, text
processing, specifications, and objects. It is aimed at the
theoretical and technical bases of information technologies,
approved methods and development trends.

DATESO is also intended as a meeting of PhD students and their supervisors.
They can all discuss their new ideas, threads, and other subjects.

The workshop proceedings will be distributed at the workshop as a
collection of the accepted papers; they will also be made available
as CEUR-WS.org proceedings and indexed by DBLP. ISI Web of Knowledge
currently indexes DATESO papers from 2005 to 2009. DATESO 2005 to 2014
is also available at Scopus.

This year’s DATESO is mainly focused on:
– Social networks
– Semantic web and linked data
– Open Data
– Data structures for similarity searching and indexing
– Searching and indexing XML data
– Big Data – its storage and processing
– NoSQL databases
– Search in multimedia and biological databases
– Clustering
– Data compression
– Formal specifications
– Agent-based modeling
– Model-driven development (MDD, MDA)
– Service-oriented architecture
– Information security, trust, privacy, safety-critical systems
– Bioinformatics
– Machine intelligence for Geographic Information Systems
– GPU data processing

V rámci reorganizace vědeckovýzkumných skupin na FIT se skupina CCM rozrostla, především o implementační skupinu. Jsme tedy nyní Centre for Conceptual Modelling and Implementations. Detaily o nové struktuře a též shrnutí dosavadní činnosti lze najít v prezentaci CCMI, která zazněla u příležitosti ustavujícího zasedání CCMI dne 7.10.2015.

CCM Vás zve na přednášku prof. Raye Dawsona: “Being Right is Not Good Enough – Why Knowledge Management Initiatives Fail”

Datum a čas: Čtvrtek 7. sprna 2014, 10:00
Místnost: A-951

Téma:
Knowledge Management is of growing interest in business and industry today, and many organisations are looking to use knowledge management techniques. However, most knowledge management initiatives fail to measure up to expectations and many fail altogether. What is going wrong? Is this just a passing fad or can knowledge management be used to make worthwhile improvements to an organisation’s way of working?

In this lecture Professor Ray Dawson first examines what knowledge is and what makes the management of knowledge difficult. He concludes that organisations are right to want to embrace knowledge management, but being right is not good enough to ensure the success of any knowledge management initiative.

There are many examples of knowledge management systems that have floundered or failed and some that have been successful. Is it not possible, therefore, to use this knowledge to learn from these experiences to improve the success rate? Professor Dawson describes a number of case studies of knowledge management initiatives and from these he derives a 12 step plan for successful knowledge management implementation.

O přednášejícím:
Ray Dawson is Professor of Knowledge Management at Loughborough University, UK. He obtained a bachelor’s and a masters degree from Nottingham University before entering industry with Plessey Telecommunications in 1977. At the company he developed an interest in software engineering processes and the working methods for information systems development as practiced in industry. Since 1987 he has continued this interest in industrial working methods at Loughborough University, working with companies to improve their software engineering processes and their information and knowledge management systems. A particular interest is Knowledge Management systems implantation as these systems seem to have a particularly poor success record and case studies in this area have revealed some interesting lessons for future system developments.
