The strong influence of visual languages on the art of computing is visible in the variety of computing activities that make extensive use of graphics, ranging from database manipulation, to generation of graphical user interfaces, to end-user programming, to software visualization techniques, etc. As a consequence, the concept of visual computing is used to refer to a computation based on the interaction with and the control of visual objects, either as direct work objects, e.g. 3-D scenes, or as objects representing other objects that are not necessarily visual themselves, e.g., block diagrams. The International Workshop on Visual Languages and Computing will be held in conjunction with the International Conference of Distributed Multimedia Systems in Grand Canyon, USA, August 30 - September 1, 2006. The workshop is intended to be a forum for discussion on latest research carried out in the area of visual languages and computing. Therefore, papers are solicited on emerging issues and challenges in the related research fields. Of special interest are the following topics: Visual Languages and Techniques for Human-Computer Interaction Pictorial Databases Pictorial Information Systems Visual Languages for Geographic Information Systems Software Visualization Data Visualization Applications of Visual Computing Computer Animation Computer-Assisted Visual Arts Theoretical Aspects of Visual Languages Visual Modelling Languages Visual Programming Environments Enabling Technologies for Visual Computing Visual Computing in Computer Supported Cooperative Work End-User and Domain-Specific Languages IMPORTANT DATES March 1, 2006 Paper submission due April 30, 2006 Notification of acceptance May 20, 2006 Final manuscript due May 20, 2006 Early conference registration due CONFERENCE CHAIR Genny Tortora, University of Salerno, Italy PROGRAM CHAIR Gennaro Costagliola, University of Salerno, Italy PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Monica Sebillo, University of Salerno, Italy Giuliana Vitiello, University of Salerno, Italy PROGRAM COMMITTEE Alfonso F.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: SMPS 2006 - Call for Papers Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2006 17:09:37 -0000 From: Jonathan Lawry <J.Lawry(a)bristol.ac.uk> Organization: "OptimaNumerics" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> 2nd Call for Papers The Third International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2006) 5-7 September 2006, University of Bristol, UK www.enm.bris.ac.uk/SMPS Over the last thirty years there has been a growing interest in extending the theory of probability and statistics to allow for more flexible modelling of uncertainty, ignorance and fuzziness. Most such extensions result in a "softening" of the classical theory, to allow for imprecision in probability judgements and to incorporate fuzzy constraints and events. Many approaches utilise concepts, tools and techniques developed in theories such as fuzzy set theory, possibility theory, imprecise probability theory and Dempster-Shafer theory. The need for soft extensions of probability theory is becoming apparent in a wide range of applications areas. For example, in data analysis and data mining it is becoming increasingly clear that integrating fuzzy sets and probability can lead to more robust and interpretable models that better capture both the inherent uncertainty and fuzziness of the underlying data. Also, in science and engineering the need to analyse and model the true uncertainty associated with complex systems requires a more sophisticated representation of ignorance than that provided by uninformative Bayesian priors. Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS) 2006 will be hosted by the Artificial Intelligence Group, Department of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Bristol, UK. This is the third of a series of biennial conferences organized in 2002 by the Systems Research Institute from the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and in 2004 by the Department of Statistics and Operation Research at the University of Oviedo in Spain. SMPS 2006 aims to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss ideas, theories, and applications. The scope of conference is to bring together experts representing all existing and novel approaches to soft probability and statistics. In particular, we would welcome papers combining probability and statistics with fuzzy logic, applications of the Dempster-Shafer theory, possibility theory, generalized theories of uncertainty, generalized random elements, generalized probabilities and so on. For further information see the conference web page www.enm.bris.ac.uk/SMPS or email smps-2006(a)bris.ac.uk Dates and Deadlines Registration and submission of papers - 27 Febuary 2006. Notification of acceptance - 3 April 2006. Submission of the camera-ready typescripts of the papers and payment of the conference fee - 1 May 2006. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

09 Jan '06

Call for Papers ECTEL Doctoral Consortium 2006 Crete, Greece, October 1- 2, 2006 <http://www.ectel06.org> ---Introduction--- The ECTEL Doctoral Consortium is intended to bring together Ph.D. students working on topics related to professional training. The doctoral consortium will offer Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in an interdisciplinary and international atmosphere. The doctoral consortium will be accompanied by prominent professors and researchers in the field of professional learning. These accompanying professors will participate actively and contribute to the discussions. The doctoral consortium is co-located with and will take place immediately before the ECTEL 2006 conference. The doctoral consortium language is English. ---Topics of Interest--- As for the ECTEL conference, all topics from the field of professional learning are of interest for the doctoral consortium. These topics include (but are not limited to): Collaborative Learning: Learning Communities, Distributed Teams, Instructional Methods for Collaborative Learning, Problem Solving Support, Collaborative Knowledge Building and Sharing, Collaborative Games, Online Experiments Personalized Learning: Reasoning Techniques, Adaptation Patterns and Techniques, Data Mining, Information Retrieval, Learner Modeling, Learner Assessment and Testing, Remote Monitoring of Users, Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Instructions, Competencies in Workplace Learning Authoring: Authoring and Re-Use of Learning Objects, Authoring and Learning Design, Authoring Tools, Re-Authoring and Re-Purposing, Authoring of Multimedia Learning Content, Authoring for Ubiquitous Learning Semantic Web, Metadata and Learning: Learning Objects, Learning Activities, Learning Design, Narrative and Navigation Models, Semantic Clustering, Metadata for Search and Information Retrieval Workplace Learning: Knowledge Management and Learning, Business Processes and Learning, Cost and Economy Models, Leveraging Expertise, Vocational Education, Informal Learning, Situated Learning, Social Constructivsm, Social Software, Organizational Learning, Corporate Training, Institutional change strategies, Knowledge Sharing, Learning and Competence Development on-the-job, Workplace-related eLearning Learning Repositories and Infrastructures for Learning: Web services, Multi-Agent Systems, Peer-to-Peer Infrastructures, Runtime Engines for Learning Design and Learning Objects, Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning, Multimedia and Learning, Virtual Reality and Learning, Deployment Strategies, Design of e-learning environments ---Submission--- Papers describing doctoral work should be submitted in PDF or PostScript format before June 7, 2006. The paper length should not exceed 6 pages (single linespace, Times New Roman (or similar) font type, 12 pt font size, reasonable margins). In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address specifically doctoral work! Therefore, the following elements are recommended: - A clear formulation of the research question. - An identification of the significant problems in the field of research. - An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions. - A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far. - A sketch of the applied research methodology. - A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem solution. - A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem. The intention of this doctoral consortium is to support and inspire Ph.D. students during their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that authors will have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor officially submitted their thesis before the doctoral consortium (October 2, 2006). To enforce this rule we require authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their advisor's name when submitting. Papers will be reviewed by at leas two members of the doctoral consortium committee. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Papers will also be made available electronically to the participants before the symposium to facilitate preparation of discussions and questions. Presentations will be kept short (10-15 minutes). A discussant, a member of the doctoral consortium committee, will be appointed to each paper. Discussant comments will be followed by a plenary discussion of the paper. At the end of the consortium there will be a general discussion, including a brainstorming session about current and future research topics in the area. Only electronic submissions are accepted. E-mail your paper as an attachment in PDF or Postscript format to dc-ectel06(a)i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de. A supporting letter should be sent by the PhD supervisor by e-mail to dc-ectel06(a)i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de. or by Fax: +49 241 8021513 to Ralf Klamma Participants should register for the ECTEL conference itself at student rate. ---Consortium Chairs--- * Katherine Maillet, Institut National des Télécommunications, France * Ralf Klamma, RWTH Aachen University, Germany ---Program Committee--- * Heidrun Allert, University of Applied Sciences, Hagenberg, Austria * Kalina Bontcheva, University of Sheffield, UK * Paul de Bra, TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands * Paul Brna, University of Glasgow, UK * Peter Brusilovsky, University of Pittsburgh, USA * Fabrizio Cardinali, Guinti Interactive Labs, Italy * Stefano Ceri, Politecnico di Milano, Italy * Pierre Dillenbourg, EPFL, Switzerland * Peter Dolog, L3S and University of Hannover, Germany * Erik Duval, KU Leuven and Ariadne Foundation * Dieter Euler, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland * Monique Grandbastien, LORIA, France * Jörg M.
