These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, query answering, data translation, or for navigation on the Semantic Web. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate. The workshop has two goals: 1. To bring together academic and industry leaders dealing with ontology matching in order to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs. Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their business needs. 2. To conduct an extensive evaluation of ontology matching approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2008 campaign. The particular focus of this year's OAEI campaign is on real-world matching tasks from specific domains, e.g., medicine. Therefore, the ontology matching evaluation initiative itself will provide a solid ground for discussion of how well the current approaches are meeting business needs. TOPICS of interest include, but are not limited to: Requirements to ontology matching from specific domains; Application of ontology matching techniques in real-world scenarios; Social and collaborative ontology matching; Interactive ontology matching; Alignment management; Background knowledge in ontology matching; Reasoning for ontology matching; Uncertainty in ontology matching; Formal foundations and frameworks for ontology matching; Performance of ontology-matching techniques; Ontology matching evaluation methodology; Ontology matching for information integration; Ontology matching for query answering; Ontology matching for dynamic environments; Systems and infrastructures. FORMAT AND SUBMISSIONS The schedule assumes one day workshop. The workshop will consist of the following components: technical presentations, OAEI'08 results presentations, posters, workshop on consensus building (of reference alignments) and wrap-up discussion. Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of (i) technical papers addressing different issues of ontology matching as well as (ii) participating in the OAEI 2008 campaign. Technical papers should be not longerthan 12 pages using the LNCS Style. For complete style details, see Springer's Author Instructions http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html These should be prepared in PDF format and should be submitted (no later than July 25, 2008) through the workshop submission site at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=om2008 Technical papers will be refereed by the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.

To run the ACT-R environment you need to have a Lisp with multithreading capabilities, but that looks like it's the non-threaded version of SBCL. So, it looks to me like you won't be able to run the environment with the setup that you have, but if you can change it to use a different Lisp, like CMUCL or a threaded build of SBCL, then you should be able to run it.

CUSP comes with a simple SBCL version, but you can easily change that to another one that is installed on your machine.

When I installed that plugin onto my copy of Windows Eclipse Europa, I explicitly chose the option of not installing their version of SBCL because I had the latest version of Windows SBCL. But I heard that SBCL for Windows is not multithreaded. Do you know a work around to this? Have you been able to run the ACT-R GUI environment from Eclipse?

You will work in a European Project in the 7th Research Framework Programme of the EU with leading scientists in the field of Human-Machine Interaction and with experts from the automotive industry. Central aim of the project is the design and implementation of a methodology for the development of cognitive driver models enabling the assessment of usability aspects of driver assistance systems. Your task is to work with a team of three colleagues to research and model human behaviour. You will define requirements for a human driver model in cooperation with experts from the automotive industry; you will specify conceptual enhancements of an existing model architecture and will implement this concept into executable code. Furthermore, you will participate to the definition of simulator experiments to validate the predictive quality of the driver model and you will perform the validation. Within OFFIS the project team is embedded in a research cluster of 20 researchers working on Human-Machine Interaction subjects (including other projects dealing with human modelling). You should be highly motivated and posses the competence to work independently in a team. You should enjoy facing interdisciplinary challenges. As an application-oriented researcher you are interested in communicating and cooperating with industrial partners. Furthermore, we expect an outstanding M.Sc. or Diploma in Computer Science or a related discipline with a strong programming background. An interest in, and preferably experience with, either Cognitive Science or Artificial Intelligence are essential for this position. German language skills are useful, but not mandatory. OFFIS is located in Oldenburg (north western Germany). A dynamic university city with a distinct sense of personality and an unique quality of life offering many cultural and free time possibilities. Oldenburg is located near Bremen and Hamburg with the North Sea only few kilometres away. We offer a salary according to your qualifications and experience. As a research institute and in cooperation with the University of Oldenburg OFFIS offers excellent opportunities for scientific careers and, if formal preconditions are fulfilled, for working towards a doctoral thesis.
