Though the label is relatively recent, the basic notions and principles of granular computing, though under different names, have appeared in many related fields, such as information hiding in programming, granularity in artificial intelligence, divide and conquer in theoretical computer science, interval computing, cluster analysis, fuzzy and rough set theories, neutrosophic computing, quotient space theory, belief functions, machine learning, databases, and many others. In the past few years, we have witnessed a renewed and fast growing interest in GrC. Granular computing has begun to play important roles in bioinformatics, e-Business, security, machine learning, data mining, high-performance computing and wireless mobile computing in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, robustness and uncertainty. 2006 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing (IEEE-GrC2006, http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/~grc) to be held at Georgia State University in Atlanta, following the great success of IEEE-GrC2005 (Beijing, July 25-27, 2005), will continue to bring together researchers from universities, laboratories and industry to present state-of-the-art research results and methodologies in theory and applications of granular computing: - theory and methodologies of granular computing, including rough sets as a special form for granulation; - applications in data mining, soft computing, bioinformatics, e-Intelligence, security, distributed computing, etc. Major research tracks include: - Computational Intelligence (Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems, Evolutionary Computation, Rough Sets, etc.) - Foundation of Data Mining and Learning (Probabilistic/Statistical Learning, Machine Learning, Kernel Machines, etc .)

Pettit (Industrial Advances Track) Aerospace Corp., USA SCOPE This is the ninth IEEE Computer Society symposium dealing with the rapidly expanding field of object-oriented real-time distributed computing (ORC) technology. The principal theme of ISORC is the use of the object-oriented computing paradigm - which has prevailed in many non-real-time applications in the past decade - in a wide variety of real-time applications. In the ISORC series, this paradigm emphasizes its spirit of openness where diverse views and new approaches to challenging issues can be freely discussed. TOPICS OF INTEREST Papers pertaining to all aspects of ORC are sought, including but not limited to the following: Programming and system engineering: ORC paradigms, object models, languages, RT Corba, Embedded .NET, RT RMI, RT Java, UML, application programming interface (API), specification, design, verification, validation, testing, maintenance, system of systems, etc. Distributed computing and communication infrastructures: Internet QoS (quality of service), real-time communication, networked computing platforms, protocols, inter-operability, security, trusted and dependable systems, fault tolerance, virtual subnets for ORC. System software: real-time kernels and operating systems, middleware support for ORC, QoS management, extensibility, synchronization, resource allocation, scheduling, fault tolerance, security. Applications: embedded systems (automotive, avionics, consumer electronics, building systems, etc), multimedia processing, RT Web-based applications and use of XML, real-time object-oriented simulations. System evaluation: output accuracy, timeliness, worst-case execution time, dependability, end-to-end QoS, overhead, fault detection and recovery time. Papers dealing with other issues that are related to the specification, design, implementation, and evaluation of ORC systems are also welcome. To promote dialogues between researchers and users of ORC, contributions from industry are particularly welcome. CONFERENCE SESSION FORMATS Following the tradition of ISORC, the conference program will consist of sessions of different formats: * presentations of regular and short papers, * a number of panel discussions, and * special sessions devoted to reporting industrial advances GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPTS Research Papers. Papers should describe original work and be 20 double-spaced pages (6,000 words) or less in length. Papers presenting Industrial Advances. Industrial papers and practitioner reports, describing experiences of using ORC technology in application or tool development projects, are an integral part of the technical program of ISORC. A majority of these papers are expected to be shorter and less formal than research papers. They should clearly identify, and discuss in detail, the issues that represent notable industrial advances. Reports with project metrics supporting their claims are particularly sought, as well as those that show both benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used in the given project. Short Synopses. Short papers (about 5 double-spaced pages in length) on substantial real-time applications are also invited, and should contain enough information for the program committee to understand the scope of the project and evaluate the novelty of the problem or approach. According to program committee guidelines, papers presenting practical techniques, ideas, or evaluations will be favored. Papers reporting experimentation results and industrial experiences are particularly welcome. Originality will not be interpreted too narrowly. Papers that are based on severely unrealistic assumptions will not be accepted however mathematically or logically sophisticated the discussion may be. All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE. A person will not be allowed to present more than 2 papers at the symposium. PAPER SUBMISSION Please submit your paper in portable postscript or pdf format (all uncommon fonts embedded) by email to: isorc2006(a)rtselab.org ADJUNCT WORKSHOP SEUS 2006 (3rd IEEE Computer Society's Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded & Ubiquitous Systems, Homepage: http://resl.icu.ac.kr/~seus2006/) ) and WCCIA 2006 (2nd International Workshop on Collaborative Computing, Integration, and Assurance, http://asusrl.eas.asu.edu/srlab/wccia.html) will be held at the same location during April 27 - 28, 2006.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the new learning space will be realised in the context of its contribution to economic development. E-competences and professional development are vital elements in establishing the background for competitiveness and economic growth. E-competences are essential for successful careers and for the promotion of links between education, training and business. E-learning is the major enabling factor for the efficient involvement in the new competence development process, contributing also to the mainstreaming of innovation. The new competency system is strongly rooted in and related to e-learning, using collaborative and knowledge management tools, in the increasingly integrated contexts of education – training – work – home. This requires the reconsideration of different modalities of achieving knowledge and integrating it into personal portfolios. The ongoing Bologna process is adding further requirements to the new structuring of skills and competences, with creative contributions from the educational community. CONFERENCE THEMES A variety of themes are offered both in the general professional, higher education and in the lifelong learning, adult education specific context, which will form the main strands of the conference. You can find a selection of conference themes underneath; detailed description is displayed on the EDEN website. * Preparation for successful jobs: information and communication technologies and key competences for career paths * Digital pedagogy and success factors in competence development: the e-learning methodology toolkit * Blending and integrating – Combination of delivery modes in different learning environments * Policy and practice: the e-learning experience on national, regional and institutional scale * Quality and qualification in the new learning space * Distance and e-learning in non-formal and informal learning situations * Recognition of prior learning, accreditation of learning experience * "Lifelong e-learning" for competence development * E-learning promoting cross-sectoral educational collaboration * Arts, music and culture in the digital learning environment CALL FOR PAPERS You are invited to submit proposals for paper presentations in the parallel sessions that relate to one or more of the conference themes. Submissions may fall in the category of conference papers or short presentations. You may also propose to run a workshop, introducing a more comprehensive theme, including some related shorter contributions. Full papers, not exceeding 6 pages should be submitted to the EDEN Secretariat via the online submission form found on the conference pages of the EDEN website by 1 February, 2006. THE CONFERENCE VENUE The name of the capital of Austria, Vienna calls for dreams about baroque splendour, beautiful Jugendstil, valse, and glittering ballrooms. Once the heart of the Habsburg Empire, today Vienna is a thriving international city, integrating the rich inheritance of a glorious past with a dynamic approach to the modern world. The multicolored Vienna is a city of operas, concert halls, theatres, universities, museums, and, last but not least, of coffee houses and "Heurigen" (open air wine bar with music). HOW TO JOIN? Registration will open in February 2005. The respective form will be posted with the Second Announcement and on the web. To follow the shaping of the conference programme and for further instructions as to how to submit your paper, please visit the EDEN website at http://www.eden-online.org.
