===============================================    (02)

First IAOA Summer Institute in Applied Ontology
Firenze, Italy
July 17-23, 2011
Topic: Process Ontology and its Applications
in the human environment, in engineering, and 
in business    (03)

FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION    (04)

===============================================    (05)

The International Association for Applied Ontology (www.iaoa.org), in 
cooperation with the Vespucci Initiative (www.vespucci.org), organizes its 
first Summer Institute in Applied Ontology in Florence, Italy, on July 17-23, 
2011. Applications will close soon.    (06)

The IAOA promotes interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at 
the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive 
science, and computer science, and applications of ontological analysis more 
generally.     (07)

This first Summer Institute in Applied Ontology will focus on the topic of 
Process Ontology and its applications to the analysis of processes in the human 
environment, in engineering, and in business.     (08)

The Summer Institute facilitators will be:
Antony Galton (University of Exeter, UK)
Michael Gruninger (University of Toronto, Canada)
Werner Kuhn (University of Muenster, Germany)
David Mark (State University of New York at Buffalo, USA).    (09)

Date: July 17-23, 2011, Process Ontology: http://vespucci.org/programme     (010)

Venue: Firenze, Italy (see http://vespucci.org/presentation)    (011)

Accommodation: hotel, bed and breakfast, or camp ground in Fiesole (20 minutes 
by bus from Firenze; shuttle bus or car to venue)
Application: at vespucci.org and www.iaoa.org, until the end of April, 2011.
Notification of acceptance: continuing.
Grants may be available for participants with special financial needs, if these 
are stated and justified in the application.    (012)

Goals and Contents:
Understanding processes has become one of the key challenges to society: how 
much does our climate change, and why? how can deforestation of the Amazon be 
put under control? how can manufacturing processes be optimized? Process 
ontology provides the theory, tools, and techniques to analyze processes and to 
improve the design and use of information systems that support human decisions 
in dynamic situations. The institute will feature tutorials on ontology, 
progressing into research discussions and group work on the ontological 
analysis of processes.    (013)

Participants will learn to:
- apply basic ontological distinctions and formal ontology;
- sort out the different kinds of things that go under the name "process";
- identify spatio-temporal patterns underlying processes;
- understand implications of choosing between three- and four-dimensionalism
- relate existing process ontologies to each other;
- specify complex states, processes and events in terms of simpler ones;
- design domain-specific process ontologies (e.g. in manufacturing, e-commerce, 
geography, biology) from more generic ontologies.     (014)
