Betreff: EUROPEAN MULTIGRID CONFERENCE
Datum: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 08:33:34 +0100

Dear Colleague,
SECOND call for papers:
We are pleased to announce the
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
8th European Multigrid Conference on Multigrid, Multilevel and Multiscale
Methods.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
September 27 - 30, 2005, at De Pier in Scheveningen, The Netherlands
organized in the framework of the European Community on
Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (Eccomas).
Objectives:
This congress is devoted to dissemination of recent advances and ideas
concerning multigrid, multilevel and multiscale methods. Multigrid methods
are generally accepted as being the fastest numerical methods for the
solution of elliptic partial differential equations. Furthermore, they are
regarded as among the fastest methods for many other problems like other
types of partial differential equations, integral equations etc.
If the multigrid idea is generalized to other structures than grids, one
obtains multilevel, multiscale or multi-resolution methods, which can
successfully be used also for very different types of problems, e.g.
problems characterized by matrix structures, particle structures etc.
A broad range of problems in the sciences and engineering require multiscale
modeling and simulation techniques, because of the range of scales involved
and the prohibitively large number of variables implied by a monoscale
approach. Multigrid, multilevel and multiscale methods are interrelated in
various ways.
Therefore, the congress aims to bring researchers in these fields together.
Previous meetings in the EMG series were held in Cologne (1981,1985), Bonn
(1991), Amsterdam (1993), Stuttgart (1996), Ghent (1999) and Hohenwart
(2002).
Topics:
* Multigrid methods, Multilevel and related solvers,
* Algebraic Multigrid,
* Theory and applications of methods,
* New fields of application,
* Multiscale solution methods and modeling.
Invited speakers:
L. Grasedyck (MPI Leipzig, Germany)
R Hiptmair (ETH Zuerich, Switzerland)
R. Kornhuber (FU. Berlin, Germany)
Ch. Reisinger (Oxford, UK)
A. Reusken (Aachen, Germany)

FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON OPENMP
IWOMP 2005
http://www.nic.uoregon.edu/iwomp2005
Eugene, Oregon USA
June 1-4, 2005
OpenMP is an Application Programming Interface (API) widely accepted
as a standard for high-level shared-memory parallel programming.
OpenMP is a portable, scalable programming model that provides a
simple and flexible interface for developing shared-memory parallel
applications in Fortran, C, and C++. Since its introduction in 1997,
OpenMP has gained support from the majority of high-performance
compiler and hardware vendors. There is also active research in
OpenMP compilers, runtime systems, tools, and environments. Under the
direction of the OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB), the OpenMP
standard continues to evolve. The community of OpenMP researchers and
developers in academia and industry is organized under cOMPunity, a
forum for the dissemination and exchange of information about and
experiences with OpenMP.
IWOMP is the consolidation of three OpenMP workshops: the European
Workshop on OpenMP (EWOMP), the Workshop on OpenMP Applications and
Tools (WOMPAT), and the Workshop on OpenMP Experiences and
Implementation (WOMPEI). IWOMP 2005 is the first meeting of the
combined workshops and is being co-sponsored by cOMPunity and the
OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB). In keeping with the
objectives and format of the previous workshops, IWOMP 2005 will have
technical papers and panels, tutorials, and a hands-on laboratory
(OMPlab), where OpenMP users and developers can work together and
demonstrate the latest tools. Ideas for this laboratory are welcome.
Also, as the first IWOMP meeting, all participants will have a chance
to participate in a IWOMP logo
IWOMP 2005 will publish formal proceedings of the presented papers in
LNCS. Full papers of 10 pages in length are to be submitted for
review. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare final
paper up to 12 pages.

Betreff: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Communication SystemsTechnology and
Applications
Datum: Wed, 2 March 2005 16:03:36 +0200

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking
Special Issue on
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Communication Systems�Technology and Applications
Call for Papers
The opening of unlicensed frequency band between 3.1 GHz and 10.6 GHz
(7.5 GHz) for indoor wireless communication systems by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) spurred the development of ultra-wideband
(UWB) communications. Several wireless personal area networking (WPAN)
products have been demonstrated recently. These products implement one
of the two leading proposals to the IEEE 802.15.3a High-Speed WPAN
Standards Committee. On the other hand, the IEEE 802.15.4a Standards
Committee is focusing on low power, low bit rate applications, emphasizing
accurate localization. This flurry of activity has demonstrated the
feasibility of high-bit-rate and low-bit-rate/low-power UWB communications.
Further improvement in UWB transmission speed and reductions in power
consumption and UWB transceiver cost require a comprehensive investigation
of UWB communications that simultaneously addresses system issues, analog
and digital implementation constraints, and RF circuitry limitations.
In the application area, coexistence with other wireless standards plays
an important role.
The aim of this special issue is to present recent research in UWB
communication systems with emphasis on future applications in wireless
communications. Prospective papers should be unpublished and present
novel innovative contributions from either a methodological or an
application perspective.
Suggested topics include (but are not limited) to:
o UWB channel modeling and measurement
o High-bit-rate UWB communications
o UWB modulation and multiple access
o Synchronization and channel estimation
o Pulse shaping and filtering
o UWB transceiver design and signal processing
o Interference and coexistence
o Ultra-low-power UWB transmission
o MIMO-UWB
o Multiband UWB
o Spectral management
o UWB wireless networks and related issues
o Ranging and positioning
o Applications
Authors should follow the EURASIP JWCN manuscript format
described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.info/wcn/
Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their
complete manuscript through the EURASIP JWCN's manuscript
tracking system at journal's web site, according to the

Betreff: [all-prolearn] CFP: UM'05 WORKSHOP on Decentralized, Agent
Based and Social Approaches to User Modelling

UM'05 WORKSHOP
on
Decentralized, Agent Based and Social Approaches to User Modelling
(DASUM)
July 25, 2005, Edinburgh
http://www.l3s.de/~dolog/dasum/
_____________________________________________________________________
MOTIVATION:
____________
Time is ripe to discuss decentralized approaches to user modelling,
since decentralized applications are becoming prevalent both in
web-based and mobile/ ubiquitous environments. Such applications
include personal guides or helpers for navigation or ambient devices,
integrated web-sites (e.g. newspapers or magazines), portals (e.g.
Yahoo), e-commerce web-sites (e.g. Amazon, e-Bay), or recommender
sites (e.g. MovieLens). Emerging classes of such applications are
loosely coupled systems.
Both, web-service-based and ubiquitous computing applications can
be considered as conglomerates of independent, autonomous services
developed by independent parties, which have not been integrated by
design, but integrate dynamically at run-time, as the need arises.
A frequently used metaphor is a free-market of services where the
user is a shopper that buys a larger service composed dynamically
by smaller services. For example, e-learning courses assembled
dynamically from independently created repositories of learning
objects and tailored to the needs of a particular learner. Another
area where decentralized and social approaches to user modelling
are applied is the enrichment of profile data (obtained from whatever
source) by information from completely unrelated sources, for example,
demographic and sociographic data. An example for this is the
Lifestyle Finder and its method of demographic generalization.
In decentralized settings, each small player (agent, smart sensor,
mobile device, learning object, application, web-service) maintains
a small user model (UM) or profile, as needed for its own purposes
of adaptation. These models are updated by the players sporadically,
whenever they interact with users. However, the players can also
talk with other players who interact with users and build their
own models to exchange user information, and to be more up-to-date.
In this way, through communication, the agents leverage the benefits
of the efforts done by many modelers. Instead of one central model
acting as a sink where the subscribed applications report their
user data, or instead of having isolated models for each application,
we have a community of adaptive applications sharing user information.
QUESTIONS:
__________
There are many questions that arise:
- How do we define a (a decentralized) user model? There is no
central notion of a model, but user data fragments dispersed among
the various devices, services and agents; the level of this data can
be hugely different, from sensory data about user and context in
ubiquitous computing systems, usage statistics in recommender systems
or web-services, to detailed preference models in negotiation agents.
Do we talk of all these as "models" or do we define the model in
relation to the purpose for which it will be used?
- How to ensure that different autonomous, independently created
applications and services are able to communicate with each other
and exchange user data, if each represents its user models in a
different way (ontologies, communication protocols and languages).
Can user data harvested in one context be useful for adaptation
in another context? How to interpret a user model so that it can
be used in a new context? Should the "little player" do this
computation or special components that know what user data is
relevant for what type of adaptation? (architectures for adaptation,
standard user modelling tasks / purposes).
- How to represent the knowledge necessary to compute user models
on demand? What does this knowledge include? Possibly - what user
data is relevant for the purpose, where to obtain it from and how
to adapt the application/service. Should representations be centered
around the user data, the content, or around the purposes of use?
Should they be declarative or procedural? Is any data ever irrelevant?
What user data to keep and what not to keep after adaptation?
(knowledge representation, reasoning, learning).
- Whom to ask for user information? Who is "trusted"? How to define
trust in this case: an agent that is honest, or similar to the
client agent in its purpose or criteria/preferences, or both?
How to use models of interpersonal relationships and how to interpret
user data received from acquaintances? (trust, reputation, gossiping).
- How interpret data obtained by other players? How to resolve
conflicts between user model fragments kept by different agents
(e.g. using information about adaptation and purpose)? How to
protect oneself from deliberate deception? When to provide data and
to whom?
- Is decentralized and social user modelling a threat for privacy or
is it a solution? Do recent developments in industry about Liberty
Alliance, Microsoft Passport II, and Identity management help in a
distributed environment?
- What are the candidate applications: where do we expect to see
such applications first? Recommender systems? Mobile / ubiquitous
computing applications or ambient computing environments? E-learning
systems? E-commerce systems? What is common among these application
areas?
TOPICS:
________
The list of topics (non exclusive) includes:
- agents modelling other agents,
- modelling trust and similarity (affinity) between users/agents,
- modelling social relationships, networks and groups,
- user modelling within mobile and pervasive computing environments
- harvesting user and context information from ubiquitous environments
- user/agent clustering techniques,
- coalition and community formation based on user affinity and trust,
- collaborative planning,
- architectures,
- commonalities and differences between user modelling approaches on
the web and in ubiquitous environments.
- applications in ubiquitous, agent-based and decentralized systems
such as:
- recommender systems, expert finding,
- web-services, multi-agent systems,
- mobile / ubiquitous / ambient computing systems,
- on-line communities,
- peer-to-peer systems,
AUDIENCE:
_________
The workshop is likely to attract researchers with interests in any
combination of the following four areas:
- user modeling,
- multi-agent systems,
- mobile, ubiquitous, pervasive and ambient systems,
- user adaptive web-services, e-learning, recommender systems.
The one-day workshop will be held during the 10th International
Conference on User Modeling in Edinburgh, Scotland
( http://gate.ac.uk/conferences/um2005/um05.html).
The geographic and time proximity with AIED, IJCAI and AAMAS would
allow participants from all these research communities to attend.
