Thanks. SOFSEM 2006 - Full Paper Deadline in 6 Days !!! 32nd Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science January 21 - 27, 2006, Hotel VZ MERIN, Czech Republic http://www.sofsem.cz Submission deadlines: Full papers - August 22, 2005 (Proceedings in LNCS series by Springer-Verlag) SOFSEM (SOFtware SEMinar) is an annual international conference devoted to the theory and practice of Computer Science. Its aim is to foster co-operation among professionals from academia and industry working in various areas of Computer Science. The program consists of series of Invited Talks, given by prominent professionals and researchers, Contributed Talks selected by the Program Committee from submitted papers, Working Sessions discussing work-in-progress, and the Student Research Forum. SOFSEM offers a unique opportunity to quickly obtain a representative overview of the areas that are selected as the topics of the year. To avoid excess diversity among the conference participants and to foster the atmosphere of close professional interaction, SOFSEM is organized in tracks with topics narrow enough to attract a community of researchers that share very specific fields of interest. The schedule is tailored so that a unique opportunity to interact with other participants (invited speakers, researchers, students) of the tracks is given. SOFSEM provides an ideal framework for discussions and meetings, for establishing personal contacts, and for socializing. SOFSEM is especially suited for young computer scientists. INIVITED SPEAKERS Foundations: S. Barry Cooper (UK): How Can Nature Help Us Compute? Burkhard Monien (Germany - title to be announced later) Andre Schiper (Switzerland - title to be announced later) Hajnal Andréka, István Németi (Hungary - title to be announced later) Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Sotiris Nikoletseas (Greece): Models and Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks (Smart Dust) Christian Schindelhauer (Germany): Mobility in Wireless Networks Database Technologies: Georg Gottlob (Austria): Monadic Queries over Tree Structured Data Semantic Web Technologies: Marie-Christine Rousset (France): Somewhere in Semantic Web Dimitris Plexousakis: (Greece): Evolving Ontology Evolution Future and Emerging Technologies Keith G. Jeffery (UK): 'Beyond the Horizon' project For the SOFSEM 2006 the following 4 tracks with selected topics have been chosen: FOUNDATIONS (Track Chair & PC Co-Chair: Gerard Tel, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands) Recognized core areas of Computer Science Foundations are the study of Algorithms and Complexity, and of Languages and Semantics. Both subjects have traditionally received a lot of attention at SOFSEM conferences, since the birth of SOFSEM in 1974. Through all these years, theoretical studies have had their impact on implemented systems. For example, planarity testing is now used in network drawing tools, and semantics is applied in automated program verification packages. All contributions to the Foundations of Computer Science are welcomed, but in both areas we especially seek contributions that illustrate the value of fundamental research for fielded applications. * Algorithms * Language and Automata Theory * Artificial Intelligence and Robotics * Programming Logic and Calculi * Coding, Cryptography, Compression * Specification and Verification Tools * Computational Biology, Chemistry, Geometry, Linguistics, ... * Speech Understanding and Natural Language Processing * Distributed or Parallel Computing WIRELESS, MOBILE, AD HOC and SENSOR NETWORKS (Track Chair & PC Chair: Jiri Wiedermann, Institute of Computer Science, Prague, Czech Republic) The rapidly growing area of mobile ad hoc networking and computing emerges from the integration among personal and distributed computing, distributed sensing, wireless multihop communication and web technologies. Unprecedentedly growing amount of interaction between communication and computing, its versatility and mobility is changing the information access, exchange and exploitation. Many challenges need to be overcome in this research area to realize its potential. The track intends to cover such challenges. The relevant topics include, but are not restricted to the following aspects of wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks: * Formal Models and Architectures * Security, Privacy and Fault-Tolerance * Algorithms and Their Analysis * Simulation and Performance * Distributed Systems, Database and Multimedia Aspects * Implementations and Experiments * Integration and Inter-Networking * Applications DATABASE TECHNOLOGIES (Track Chair & PC Co-Chair: Jaroslav Pokorny, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic) Database systems are increasingly used to store and query XML data. During the last few years, a variety of companies have developed so called native XML databases. These software products are designed to efficiently store and manage the growing numbers of XML data users are creating, especially in Web interactions. Improving their effectiveness, increasing efficiency, and reducing inaccuracies are seen as a challenge for database research today. The track is aimed at academics, practitioners, users and vendors who are interested in XML data management in a database way. We invite them to share their experiences, results, and contributions, which may help better understand the issues and reality of XML databases. The relevant topics include, but are not restricted to the following areas of interest: * Indexing and Querying XML Data * XML Information Retrieval * Approximate Searching in XML Data * XML Benchmarking * Querying Compressed XML Data * Architectures on Native XML Databases * Storage and Compression of XML Data SEMANTIC WEB TECHNOLOGIES (Track Chair & PC Co-Chair & General Conference Chair: Julius Stuller, Institute of Computer Science, Prague, Czech Republic) The Semantic Web ideas have already got, in a relatively short time, many advocates together with possibly as many opponents. While on the "Why" side there exists a larger agreement, the "How" side, despite the great efforts of W3C Consortium, divide the proponents in many, unfortunately too many, more or less isolated communities. Nevertheless many well-known companies are involved, similarly as a large number of researchers all around the world, and a lot of interesting research studies and results have already appeared, software tools and methodologies are evolving, new applications are realized. All contributions to the Semantic Web Technologies are welcomed, especially on topics which include, but are not restricted to the following areas of interest: * Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Data * Semantic Web Trust, Privacy and Security * Ontology Creation, Merging, Extraction, Linking & Reconciliation * Data Semantics * Semantic Integration and Interoperability * Semantic Web Mining * Semantic Web Services: Description, Invocation and Composition * Visualization and Modelling * Semantic Web Middleware * User Interfaces * Searching, Querying and Viewing the Semantic Web * Semantic Web for e-business and e-learning * Database Technologies for the Semantic Web * Fundamental Issues * Semantic Web Inference Scheme and Rules * Semantic brokering * Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web agents * Knowledge Portals The Program Committee especially solicits original and unpublished papers on the listed topics. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by referees expert in the given topic. An integral part of the SOFSEM 2006 will be the Student Research Forum (Chair: Mária Bieliková, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava) organized with the aim to publish and discuss students' projects in the field of theory and practice of Computer Science. The forum will offer students the opportunity to receive feedback on both the originality of their scientific work results and the work in progress. Sufficient space for discussion and exchange of experience will be provided during the forum itself and will continue throughout the SOFSEM conference. To be eligible, all authors of the paper must be students (except possibly their advisors). Best paper of the SOFSEM 2006 Student Research Forum will be selected by the Program Committee and awarded. PROCEEDINGS The volume with the Invited and Contributed papers together with the best Student Research Forum paper will be publish in the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer-Verlag) as has became a tradition in the last years. Papers describing work-in-progress and Student Research Forum papers will be published in the local proceedings (with corresponding ISBN).

by Fridolin Wild 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 03:34:33 +1200 From: Kinshuk <kinshuk(a)IEEE.ORG> Subject: CWIS Journal special issue "Synchronous methods and applications in e-learning" ***Call for Papers*** Special issue on the theme "Synchronous methods and applications in e-learning" Campus-Wide Information Systems - The international journal of information and learning technology (ISSN 1065-0741) Recent rapid improvements in technology and the increasing bandwidth of Internet access in most parts of the world have led to an increasing popularity for synchronous solutions for instruction. But real-time instant interaction and possibility of non-verbal information transfer has led to a change in paradigm of how e-learning is being envisaged in its traditional sense. On one hand, it lures academics to fall back to their traditional habits of face-to-face instructions and on the other hand, it promises to provide the best of both worlds. Various new challenges are emerging from the use of synchronous techniques along with some very exciting opportunities of improving the quality of instruction and learning. The special issue will focus on various innovative methods that are being designed and investigated by researchers and the applications that are being developed and implemented for synchronous learning. The issue will have a balance between the theoretical aspects and the practical applications. * Important dates 15 September 2005 Full paper submission 30 October 2005 Feedback to authors 30 November 2005 Revised paper submission 15 January 2006 Feedback on revised papers 15 February 2006 Final paper submission Publication: Volume 23 Issue 3 * Guest editors: Kinshuk, Massey University, New Zealand Nian-Shing Chen, National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan * Submission Articles should be between 2,000 and 4,000 words in length.

CfP: J of Web Semantics Special Issue on Semantic Grid
by Fridolin Wild 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Elsevier's JOURNAL OF WEB SEMANTICS Special Issue on SEMANTIC GRID http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/semanticgrid/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Description --------------- One of the key challenges in today's Grids is the need to deal with knowledge and data sources that are distributed, heterogeneous, and dynamic, and where effective elicitation of implicit knowledge is a necessary component of the overall system. In such systems, a complete global viewpoint or understanding is impossible to achieve. We therefore need to go beyond centralised knowledge service provision, and develop effective open, distributed, knowledge-based solutions. The Semantic Grid aims to overcome this problem by adding meaning (ontologies, annotations and negotiation processes as studied in the Semantic Web and Software Agent paradigms) to the Grid. In this way, the Semantic Grid not only provides a general semantic-based computational network infrastructure, but a rich, seamless collection of intelligent, knowledge-based services for enabling the management and sharing of complex resources and reasoning mechanisms. In the Semantic Grid knowledge and semantics are deployed explicitly for Grid applications and for the development of innovative Grid infrastructures. This knowledge-oriented semantics-based approach to the Grid goes hand-in-hand with the exploitation of techniques and methodologies from intelligent software agents and web services representing various components of the virtual organizations and interacting in a P2P way. This special issue of the journal (http://www.websemanticsjournal.org) is soliciting highest-quality submissions on all topics related to Semantic Grid.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: WWW2006 CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Track on E* Applications Datum: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 15:10:59 -0700 Von: Bertram Ludaescher <ludaesch(a)ucdavis.edu> Firma: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ============================================================ WWW2006 CALL FOR PAPERS -- Refereed Track: E* Applications: E-Commerce, E-Business, E-Science, E-Learning, and E-Communities http://www2006.org/tracks/estar.php ============================================================ The International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2) invite you to participate in the Fifteenth International World Wide Web Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 22nd-26th 2006. The first international WWW conference was held in 1994 at CERN where the Web was born. Since then, the conference series has been the prime venue for both academics and industries to present, demonstrate, and discuss the latest ideas and developments about the Web. WWW2006 will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The technical program will include refereed paper presentations, special interest tracks, plenary sessions, panels, and poster sessions. Tutorials and workshops will run before and throughout the conference. A Developers track, devoted to in-depth technical sessions designed specifically for web developers, will run in parallel throughout the conference. The conference will also be running a programme of high-level, non-technical presentations for professionals in media, government, education and commerce to inform and debate the issues relating to the latest Web technology developments. See http://www2006.org/ for regular updates on conference information. WWW2006 is held in association with ACM, BCS, ECS and W3C. REFEREED PAPERS TRACK WWW2006 seeks original papers describing research in all areas of the web. Topics include but are not limited to: # E* Applications: E-Communities, E-Learning, E-Commerce, E-Science, E-Government and E-Humanities # Browsers and User Interfaces # Data Mining # Hypermedia and Multimedia # Performance, Reliability and Scalability # Pervasive Web and Mobility # Search # Security, Privacy, and Ethics # Semantic Web # Web Engineering # XML and Web Services # Industrial Practice and Experience (Alternate track) # Developing Regions (Alternate track) Detailed descriptions of each of these tracks appear at http://www2006.org/tracks/ Submissions should present original reports of substantive new work. Papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. New for WWW2006: We solicit submissions of "position papers" articulating high-level architectural visions, describing challenging future directions, or critiquing current design wisdom. Accepted position papers will be presented at the conference and appear in the proceedings. Both "regular papers" and "position papers" are subject to the same rigorous reviewing process, but the emphasis may differ --- regular papers should present significant reproducible results while position papers may present preliminary work rich in implications for future research. All papers will be peer-reviewed by reviewers from an International Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and will also be accessible to the general public via http://www2006.org/. Authors of all accepted papers will be required to transfer copyright to the IW3C2. POSTERS Posters provide a forum for late-breaking research, and facilitate feedback in an informal setting. Posters are peer-reviewed. The poster area provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent web-related research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. It gives conference attendees a way to learn about innovative works in progress in a timely and informal manner. Formatting and submission requirements are available at http://www2006.org/posters/. TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS A program of tutorials will cover topics of current interest to web design, development, services, operation, use, and evaluation. These half and full-day sessions will be led by internationally recognized experts and experienced instructors using prepared content. Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, leaders, and practitioners to explore current web R&D issues through a more focused and in-depth manner than is possible in a traditional conference session. Participants typically present position statements and hold in-depth discussions with their peers within the workshop setting. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/workshops/. PANELS Panels provide an interactive forum that will engage both panelists and the audience in lively discussion of important and often controversial issues. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/panels/.

Special Sessions promote presentation of novel ideas, discussion and exchange of knowledge between highly skilled participants. On the other hand, it has been observed that in special sessions all (or almost all) the papers are presented as well as several discussions with serious comments and questions take place after the presentation. Many successfull WSEAS Conferences started in the beginning as Special Sessions or Workshops in some previous WSEAS conference. WSEAS publishes the Proceedings of the Conferences in 3 different media (i) hard copy / book + (In case of Journal publication, the author receives the journal instead the Hard Copy of the Proceedings) (ii) CD-ROM proceedings + (iii) Web E-library (30000 visits per month) INDEXING OF THE WSEAS BOOKS and JOURNALS: ==================================================== WSEAS Books and Conference Proceedings: are indexed by 1.
