This volume contains the papers presented at the 8th International Conference onDiscoveryScience(DS2005)heldinSingapore,RepublicofSingapore,during the days from 8-11 of October 2005. The main objective of the Discovery Science (DS) conference series is to p- vide an open forum for intensive discussions and the exchange of new ideas and information among researchers working in the area of automating scienti?c d- covery or working on tools for supporting the human process of discovery in science. It has been a successful arrangement in the past to co-locate the DS conference with the International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory (ALT). This combination of ALT and DS allows for a comprehensive treatment ofthewholerange,fromtheoreticalinvestigationstopracticalapplications.C- tinuing in this tradition, DS 2005 was co-located with the 16th ALT conference (ALT2005).TheproceedingsofALT 2005werepublished asa twinvolume3734 of the LNCS series.

Jantke (DFKI and FIT Leipzig, Germany), Massimo Melucci (U- versityofPadua),Masahiko Sato(Kyoto University),Ayumi Shinohara(Tohoku University),EinoshinSuzuki(YokohamaNationalUniversity),andThomasZe- mann (Hokkaido University). We received 112 full paper submissions out of which 21 long papers (up to 15 pages), 7 regular papers (up to 9 pages), and 9 project reports (3 pages) were acceptedforpresentationandarepublished inthis volume.Eachsubmissionwas reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee of international expertsinthe?eld.Theselectionwasmadeaftercarefulevaluationofeachpaper based on originality, technical quality, relevance to the ?eld of discovery science, and clarity.

Since knowledge was recognized as a crucial part of intelligent systems in the 1970s and early 1980s, the problem of the systematic and efficient acquisition of knowledge was an important research problem. In the early days of expert systems, the focus of knowledge acquisition was to design a suitable knowledge base for the problem - main by eliciting the knowledge from available experts before the system was c- pleted and deployed. Over the years, alternative approaches were developed, such as incremental approaches which would build a provisional knowledge base initially and would improve the knowledge base while the system was used in practice. Other approaches sought to build knowledge bases fully automatically by employing machine-learning methods. In recent years, a significant interest developed regarding the problem of constructing ontologies. Of particular interest have been ontologies that could be re-used in a number of ways and could possibly be shared across diff- ent users as well as domains. The Pacific Knowledge Acquisition Workshops (PKAW) have a long tradition in providing a forum for researchers to exchange the latest ideas on the topic. Parti- pants come from all over the world but with a focus on the Pacific Rim region. PKAW is one of three international knowledge acquisition workshop series held in the Pacific-Rim, Canada and Europe over the last two decades. The previous Pacific Knowledge Acquisition Workshop, PKAW 2004, had a strong emphasis on inc- mental knowledge acquisition, machine learning, neural networks and data mining.

Die vorliegende Ausarbeitung beschaftigt sich mit der zentralen Frage der Relevanz der Offentlichkeitsarbeit und der Methoden des Personalmarketings fur die Gewinnung von Richtern am Beispiel der Justiz des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen. In diesem Rahmen wird beleuchtet, welche Marketingmanahmen fur die offentliche Verwaltung - vor allem unter Beachtung der Grundsatze der Sparsamkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit - zur Effektivierung in Betracht kommen. Zentraler Bestandteil kommt dabei der Bildung einer sogenannten Arbeitgebermarke (Employer Branding"e;) zu, die am Beispiel der Justiz als Arbeitgeber empirisch herausgearbeitet wird. Die Rekrutierung neuen Personals fur die Justiz sowie fur den gesamten offentlichen Dienst wird - insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der bevorstehenden Welle von Altersabgangen - eine zunehmend groe Rolle einnehmen. Die Kombination aus der Praxiserfahrung des Autors und den Theorien zum Employer Branding"e; kennzeichnet dieses Buch und ermoglicht eine interdisziplinare Betrachtung der Thematik.
