Welcome Message
Dear Delegates and Friends,
We very pleased to welcome you to Kaiserslautern in the heart of Rhineland-Palatinate for the 15th
Annual Conference on Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems. The conference is organized by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the Universityof Kaiserslautern (Institute of Integrated Sensor Systems, ISE), in conjunction with KES International.
Kaiserslautern is located at the edge of the Palatinate Forest and home to about 100,000 inhabitants. It received its name from the favorite hunting retreat of Frederick Barbarossa who ruled theHoly Roman Empire from 1155 until 1190. The historic city center dates back to the 9th century.
Today, Kaiserslautern is a modern hub of information and communications technology and home to awell-known university, a technical college and many internationally renowned research institutes.
Please enjoy the typical late summer in September with moderate weather. We hope that you haveplanned some extra days to benefit from the many historical places and sightseeing opportunities available in the Palatinate region, including the historical castles, the excellent vineyards and the beautiful
villages along the Rhine valley. We made arrangements for two sightseeing tours to Hambach Castle
including wine tasting on Sunday, September 11, and Heidelberg Castle including a cruise on the Neckar
River on Thursday, 15th September.
On Monday evening we have organized a reception at the University of Kaiserslautern as an exclusive event for our delegates. On Tuesday night we will meet for the conference dinner at the historical
Fruchthalle in the city center of Kaiserslautern. Shuttle buses will bring you downtown after the end of
the sessions.
KES 2011 provides an international scientific forum for the presentation of high-quality research
results on a broad range of intelligent systems topics. The conference attracted contributions from32 countries and 5 continents: Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United
Kingdom, and USA. We have organized the conference into six parallel sessions providing broad andinteresting insights into the various fields of knowledge-based and intelligent information and engineeringsystems. Highlights of the programme are the six plenary invited talks from distinguished researchers,
which do not overlap with any other session. We are very glad that our outstanding colleagues Keiji
Yamada, Peter Schütt, Nikhil Pal, Ansgar Bernardi, Knut Manske, and Ulrich Reimer accepted ourinvitation. The programme is complemented by a lab tour to DFKI on Thursday morning. If you areinterested in joining the tour please sign the list at the conference registration desk.
We are delighted that the field of knowledge-based and intelligent information and engineering systems is experiencing unprecedented growth worldwide in the past few years. From the large amount ofsubmissions, our Program, Track, and Invited Session Chairs had assembled a team of about 120 program committee members who diligently worked under severe time constraints to provide their reviewsin a timely fashion. The chairs carefully reviewed the comments of the reviewers to recommend thepapers for acceptance into 244 oral presentations. Despite our best efforts, we realize that no review
system is perfect and sometimes good contributions are not appropriately recognized. We apologize
to authors of such contributions. The program chairs accepted papers into 57 oral sessions. Extended
versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the International Journals in the field,e.g., the International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems.

Organizing a conference of this magnitude is only possible with an extraordinary organizing committee of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. We are indebted to our program chairs, Knut Hinkelmann
and Koichi Kise for their outstanding planning and execution that resulted in the smoothest paper submission and review process. They, along with the track and invited session chairs as well as the programcommittee, completed the single-blind review process. Special care was taken during the review process
for papers authored by track chairs, program chairs, and general chairs so that the confidentiality of
the review process is maintained. We are deeply indebted to all those involved in the review process fortheir diligence and professionalism.
We gratefully acknowledge the sponsorship of the Center for Computational and Mathematical
Modeling (CM)2, DFKI, ISE, and the City of Kaiserslautern. Of course, no conference can be successful
without outstanding contributions from authors and the participation of researchers and practitioners
as registered delegates. We thank all authors and delegates for their contributions and for their cooperation throughout the process. We are especially grateful to the editorial team of Springer led by Alfred
Hofmann.
Hosting KES 2011 in Kaiserslautern would not have been possible without professional cooperationand commitment that we received from KES International and its administrators. In particular, we
would like to thank Peter Cushion for his strong support.
We hope that you would find the conference intellectually stimulating and its ambiance particularly
relaxing. We wish you a very memorable KES 2011.

Title:
Symbiotic System as a New Social Infrastructure Based on Intelligent Interaction Amongthe Society, Human Beings, and Information Systems
Abstract:
In this talk, I will propose a new social intelligent infrastructure which is called Symbiotic system. The aim of the system is to totally manage social resources which serve for mobility,
energy supply, distribution, buildings, water, food, health care, education, and so on. Additionally, human activities must be considered as important elements of social resources. The
system consists of the three parts such as monitoring resources, dissolution and re-bundling,
and feedback to social resources. Especially promotion of human activities should be combinedwith control of other resources in order to reduce adverse effects on the natural environments.
Information presented to each user is dynamically changed accordingly to his/her estimatedprofile, tendencies of his/her behaviors, and extracted status of a real filed around him/her. We
will demonstrate some prototypes for energy management, traffic control, and regeneration ofan aged community.

Title:
Knowledge Sharing in Enterprise Networks
Abstract:
Driven by new technologies, e.g. the success of mobile devices, social networks on the internet
and new business analytics capabilities, the way companies create value changes and has tochange rapidly. New social ways of sharing information are the foundation of new, smarter ways
of working: Information exchange changes from selected push in hierarchical organisations toself organized pull in more network-like organisations - from documents and e-mail to social
business tools. Activity streams, embedded experiences, smart filtering, etc., all based on open
standards, allow to re-simplify the workplace of the enterprise user, largely independent on thedevice s/he wishes to work with. The outcome is a much better informed employee - much tothe benefit of the success of the company.

Title:
Selection of Useful Sensors/Features with Controlled Redundancy Using Neural Networks
Abstract:
While designing many industrial systems, often we need to minimize the required number of
sensors at least for three reasons: to reduce the cost of the system, to reduce the cost of decision
making, and to honor physical constraints imposed by the specific application. For example,
we may not be able to equip an ”intelligent welding robot” with too many sensors because of
the constraints on the welding environment and the limited available time for decision making.
Hence, sensor selection, a generalization of feature selection, is a very important problem.
We shall discuss two connectionist schemes that can simultaneously select the useful sensors(and hence features too) and learn the relation between the input and output. The effectivenessof the systems is demonstrated with a few applications. We argue that the proposed methods can discard bad / derogatory sensors and “indifferent” sensors, and thus eliminate theireffect on the system’s output. Such systems are also found to discover interesting, sometimes
unexpected, relations. A unique characteristic of these schemes is that they look at all sensors/ features simultaneously and thereby can account for subtle nonlinear interactions between
sensors/features as well as the interaction between the tool used to solve the problem andsensors/features. Unlike conventional methods, our systems do not require to evaluate various
subsets of features/sensors. The proposed schemes can deal with both function-approximation
type and classifier-type systems. For any practical system, some redundancy in the set of features/sensors is desirable to account for measurement errors and other uncertainties. Thusa feature/sensor selection scheme should allow some (but not too much) redundancy in theselected set of features/sensors. For this we generalize our system so that they can select useful
sensors/features with controlled redundancy.

Title:
Growing Together: Opening the Way for Comprehensive Public-Private Knowledge Management
Abstract:
Many of today’s challenging issues will profit from improved knowledge management and information sharing among the individuals and organizations involved. Furthermore, recent technological developments have opened new opportunities for large-scale information acquisitionand processing, for integrating physical goods with their specific information shadow, and for
combining human interests and computer systems into new networks of intelligent services.
In this talk, agricultural crop production is used as an example of a domain where a varietyof actors, both public institutions and individual workers, will profit from improved knowledge
management: Detailed information about local characteristics of the soil and the production
history, together with grown and scientifically-supported expertise as well as the experiences
and actual observations of farmers, workers and agricultural service providers help to reach
optimal decisions in all production steps, thus contributing to better food quality, increased
harvests, sustainable production, and better environmental protection. Public organizations
can collect and provide relevant data, e.g. geo information, on a cross-organizational level. If
individual participants can be convinced to contribute selected private data in order to allow
for e.g. regional agricultural consultation services, all parties involved will profit from this intensive exchange in mutual win-win situations. Consequently, the integration of individual anddecentralized data sources via semantic technologies, the goal-specific collection and evaluationof sensor network data, the social exchange within actors’ shared information spaces, and theinformation organization around universally-accepted fixpoints and shared conceptualizations ispresented as a promising road towards useful knowledge support in large, even international,
collaborative settings.

Title:
Future Urban Management: Towards Best Managed Cities
Abstract:
Urban Management for the benefit of citizens, administration, and business Cities and communities form the nucleus of our modern society. Challenges for agglomerations include thesupply of energy and water, transportation, healthcare, and security. Based on information andcommunication technology urban management enables citizens, local governments, and business actors in cities to collaborate and at the same time enhance cross-departmental processes
within local governments in an effective and efficient way. In the global and knowledge based
economy, metropolitan areas are the most important centers for production and consumption.
Cities are now entering a new phase of development characterized by a strong focus on sustainability, environment, and citizen needs. This creates enormous challenges and opportunities. In
order to address the issues coming up in metropolitan areas urban management has to provide
holistic solutions. Information and communication technologies are expected to play a leadingrole in this development.

Biography:
Knut Manske is responsible for research on urban management including public security. He established
SAP Research Darmstadt. Knut Manske holds a PhD from the University of Linz, Austria, in thecontext of multimedia and HCI and received his diploma in Computer Science from the University ofKarlsruhe with a focus on Computer Graphics, Human Computer Interaction, and Parallel Computing.
Knut Manske is member of the ACM. Prior to joining SAP, Knut Manske was Technical Director of a
Software Engineering company who developed solutions for embedded appliances, smart vending, mobile
business solutions, and kiosk systems.

Prof. Dr. Ulrich Reimer,
Institute for Information
and Process Management,
University of Applied Sciences,
St. Gallen, Switzerland

Title:(Meta-) Modeling of Process-Oriented Information Systems
Abstract:
The talk gives an application-oriented view on implementing and maintaining process-oriented
information systems using a model-driven approach. It presents results of the project HERA
(Helvetic E-Government Reference Architecture) which has developed a support system forcross-organisational e-government processes. A detailed analysis of e-government processes revealed their strong collaborative character and resulted in a set of requirements for a support system. The HERA project has also shown that instead of implementing each cross-organisational
e-government solution from scratch it is advisable to develop a generic framework to be configured with application-specific aspects via a model-driven approach. The talk discusses how
this has been achieved in HERA and how this approach can be adopted for application areas
other than e-government.

Biography:
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Reimer studied computer science and received his doctorate in 1987 at the Information Science Dept. of the University of Konstanz with a thesis on formal ontologies for natural
language understanding. From 1987 to 1991 he was assistant professor at the University of Konstanz
before becoming the head of the IT R&D group of Swiss Life, the biggest life insurance company in
Switzerland, in 1991. In his 10 years at Swiss Life he was responsible for large-scale research projects
in the areas of Semantic Web, knowledge management, data mining and e-tutoring. Subsequently
he joined an IT and consulting company where he was working on enriching web-based information
systems with Semantic Web functionality. In 2005 he changed to his current position at the Instituteof Information and Process Management at the University of Applied Sciences St. Gallen where he is
responsible for applied R&D. His current research activities include semantic technologies, knowledge
extraction from texts, knowledge management, and model-driven information systems.
