-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] ICAC'07 CFP Datum: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 00:03:48 +0100 Von: Beniamino Di Martino <beniamino.dimartino(a)unina.it> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> The 4th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC-07) Call for Papers 11 - 15 June, 2007, Jacksonville, Florida, USA WWW: http://www.autonomic-conference.org E-mail: icac(a)caip.rutgers.edu Sponsored by: IEEE IEEE Computer Society ACM Cooperation with: AAAI (approval pending) ********************************************* Title/Abstract submissions: 10:00 PM PST, Jan 5, 2007 Full paper submissions: 10:00 PM PST, Jan 10, 200 ********************************************* To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computing systems, computers and applications must learn to manage themselves, in accordance with high-level guidance from humans -- a vision that has been referred to as ``autonomic computing". Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 4th International Conference on Autonomic Computing is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing aspects of self-management in computing systems, thereby developing and nurturing a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: o Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. o Specific self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, data center or specific application elements. Emphasis should be placed on techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. o Management topics, such as specification and modeling of business level policies and their mapping to runtime management, including service-level agreements, negotiation or conversation support, and behavior enforcement, design processes, tie in with IT governance, and interaction with legacy systems. o Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, fault-tolerance, machine learning, control theory, predictive methods and their use to automate manual operations and enforce behavior. o Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on interoperable Grid Services, agent-based systems, Web Services, model-based systems or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social. o System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self-managing systems (e.g., health monitoring and performance understanding, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning). o Operating system support for autonomic systems, including virtualization, migration, and distributed systems technologies. o Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. o Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. o Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION ======================================== Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes.

Research on environments recognizes the environment as a first-class abstraction in multiagent systems. On the one hand, the environment is an essential part of any multiagent system, it is the part of the world in with which the agents interact and in which the effects of the agents will be observed and evaluated. On the other hand, the environment can also be used creatively in the design of multiagent systems. Agents can exploit the environment to share information and coordinate their behavior. A clean separation of agent and environment concerns helps to manage the huge complexity of engineering complex real-world applications. FOCUS OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE The focus of this special issue is on the engineering of environments in multiagent systems (MAS). Topics include but are not limited to: - Responsibilities of environments in MAS - Modularization of environments - Software architecture and patterns for environments in MAS - Agent architecture versus environment architecture - Design and implementation of environment infrastructure for perception, interaction, and communication - Environment support for social structures (organizations, roles...) - Design and implementation of indirect interaction and stigmergic approaches (use of marks, digital pheromones, field-based approaches, overhearing, tag-based interaction, etc.) - Topology and distribution of environments - Middleware and environments for MAS - Aspect-oriented software development for environments in MAS - Environments for emergence and self-organizing systems - Environments for MAS and autonomic properties (self-configuration, self-tuning, self-healing, etc.) - Engineering of electronic institutions - Engineering of law governed interaction - Environment support for service-oriented agent systems - Environment support for mobile and ad-hoc agent systems - Environments in MAS simulation - Experiences with developing MAS applications in which the environment plays a central role SUBMISSIONS We welcome the submission of original research papers that are not under review for a workshop, conference or other journal. We seek theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Selection criteria include: relevance, technical correctness, originality of the contribution and quality of exposition. The submission should be 15-18 pages in length, including figures and references. The paper must be formatted according to the MAGS style (http://www.iospress.nl/html/15741702_ita.html). Submissions must be sent in PDF format to mags-e4mas(a)cs.kuleuven.be.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CfP CoMA Workshop at IEEE WETICE-07 Datum: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 11:19:07 +0100 Von: Manfred Bortenschlager <manfred.bortenschlager(a)salzburgresearch.at> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ======================================================================== C A L L F O R P A P E R S ======================================================================== International IEEE Workshop on Interdisciplinary Aspects of Coordination Applied to Pervasive Environments: Models and Applications (CoMA) Web: http://mowi.salzburgresearch.at/wetice At the 16th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE) Web: http://www.wetice.org June 18-20, 2007 Institut National des Telecommunications INT, Paris, France ======================================================================== WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES ==================================== Coordination is significantly responsible for the effectiveness, performance and quality of complex systems and as a concept it is not restricted to computer-based systems. An explicit handling and a careful integration of accurate coordination mechanisms enables an enhancement of the overall system behaviour and contributes to improvements in terms of flexibility, adaptability, maintenance, and exchangeability. The concept is cross-sectional and a great impact may be reached in different application areas if effective methods and models can be designed, implemented, validated, and deployed. Coordination, moreover, is an essential prerequisite for collaborative and telecooperative applications, which are of prime interest to the WETICE series. The CoMA workshop aims at the interdisciplinary aspects of coordination in general, and examines their application to ubiquitous and pervasive environments in particular. The overall goal is to support the users' collaborative intentions in such environments as effectively, imperceptibly, and unobtrusively as possible. An incorporation of appropriate coordination mechanisms shall deliver the improvements stated above to pervasive systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together on the one hand, scientists who are either conducting research directly on pervasive computing systems, coordination science, or indirectly in related fields such as artificial intelligence, collaborative systems, CSCW, systems research, complexity management, or process management. On the other hand, this workshop particularly welcomes the contributions of researchers and/or practitioners who concentrate on concrete applications where a combination of coordination and pervasive systems appears to be beneficial, such as emergency management or health care systems, and can report on that. The workshop particularly focuses on discussions about coordination and pervasiveness, the current state of research efforts, and practical experiences with the clear vision of generating mutual benefits for the participants. To support this, opportunities for showcases, demonstrations, and in-depth discussions will be provided. Eventually, interdisciplinary and joint efforts shall be fostered and future co-operations on research activities shall be triggered. TOPICS AND APPLICATIONS ======================= All topics related to the interdisciplinary aspects of coordination are welcome as soon as these are in some way relevant for or applicable to ubiquitous and pervasive systems. The following incomprehensive listing gives examples of such potential topics: * Theoretical coordination models and foundations for pervasive systems * Coordination middleware (such as space- or event-based approaches) * Coordination mechanisms in service-oriented architectures * Distributed and P2P-based coordination * Coordination in embedded and real-time systems * Coordination issues in sensor networks * Coordination dependent on context * Strategies to cope with heterogeneity, dynamics, mobility and/or pervasiveness * Distributed constraint satisfaction * Location-based coordination models * Coordination in multi-agent systems * Improved intuitive usage through integrated coordination * Case studies, evaluations and assessments about the benefits of coordination * Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination Coordination and contained topics are multidisciplinary and, hence, can be viewed as orthogonal to a multitude of pervasive application areas which shall be explored in this workshop, too. Examples include but are not limited to: # Coordinative aspects in collaborative applications like CSCW, groupware, or games # Emergency management systems # Health care systems # Decision-support systems # Geo-Collaboration # Operations research # Complexity-, constraint-, conflict-, and workflow management # Special-purpose coordination languages and tools IMPORTANT DATES =============== Full paper submission: February 15, 2007 Authors Notification: April 13, 2007 Camera-ready versions: May 12, 2007 WETICE advanced registration with discount: June 1, 2007 WETICE workshops and on-site registration: June 18-20, 2007 Deadline for final reports by workshop Chairs: July 9, 2007 SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS ========================== Papers up to six pages (including figures, tables and references) can be submitted. Submitted papers have to follow the IEEE Proceedings Format, which is singlespaced, two columns, 10pt Times Roman font.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] IJCIR Special Issue on Particle Swarm Optimization Datum: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 10:11:31 +0100 Von: Patrick SIARRY <siarry(a)univ-paris12.fr> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for papers Int. Journal of Computational Intelligence Research (IJCIR) Feature Issue on Particle Swarm Optimization Guest editors: Maurice Clerc, James Kennedy and Patrick Siarry Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a stochastic, population-based optimization algorithm introduced in 1995 by James Kennedy and Russel Eberhart. Many variants of PSO have been developed since, including constrained, multiobjective, and discrete or combinatorial versions, and applications have been developed using PSO in many fields. An international three-year project, XPS (eXtended Particle Swarms Project http://xps-swarm.essex.ac.uk/) involving five universities, was launched in October 2004. Instead of competition/selection, like say in Evolutionary Computation, PSO makes use of cooperation, according to a paradigm sometimes called "swarm intelligence". Such systems are typically made up of a population of simple interacting agents without any centralized control, and inspired by examples that can be found in nature (ant colonies, bird flocking, animal herding, bacteria molding, fish schooling, etc.) We take the opportunity of the second French-speaking PSO seminar OEP'2007 in April 2007 in Paris (http://www.particleswarm.info/oep_2007) to prepare a special issue of IJCIR about this method (that issue will include the extended versions of some communications presented at OEP2007, but all contributions outside the frame of the seminar are welcome). The goal is to collect state of-the-art research papers that discuss recent developments in that area and to highlight some general ideas. Therefore, authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished works including, but not limited to, the following: Modelling and analysis of PSO variations. Works about easy to use methods adaptive or even parameter-less ones would be particularly welcome Theoretical optimization studies applicable to PSO Comparisons with some other methods Hybrid methods that make use of PSO Real life applications Important dates Deadline for submissions: April 30th, 2007 Date of completion of the reviewing process: June 30th, 2007 Submission process We encourage authors to send submissions via email in PDF or Postscript format to Maurice.Clerc(a)WriteMe.com. The length of the camera-ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 8 IJCIR style (use link http://www.padath.net/ to access LaTeX and Word styles) pages. Alternatively four hard copies could be sent by mail to: Patrick Siarry University of Paris 12, LiSSi 61, avenue du Général de Gaulle, 94010 Créteil, FRANCE

Intelligent computing is generally known to be computationally intensive from the point of view of resources required: time, memory, bandwidth. As this is usually thought to be a drawback, distributed computing is expected to give an impetus to its practical applications. Moreover, intelligent techniques have also proved their usefulness to core distributed computing technologies like: planning & scheduling, load balancing, replication, resource allocation and management, etc. Therefore, the emergent field of intelligent and distributed computing is expected to pose new challenges of adaptation and fruitful combination of both areas. The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers involved in intelligent and distributed computing to allow cross-fertilization and synergy of ideas and to enable advancement of researches in the field. The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of intelligent and distributed computing ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. Topics include, but are not limited to, broadly understood: - Intelligent service composition and orchestration - E-service and Web intelligence - Multi-agent systems - Information extraction and retrieval in distributed and environments - Data mining and knowledge discovery in distributed environments - Semantic and knowledge grids - Intelligent integration of data and processes - Distributed problem solving - Ontologies for describing resources and services - Autonomic and adaptive computing - Intelligence in mobile and ubiquitous computing - Intelligence in cooperative information systems, groupware and workflows, virtual enterprizes - Intelligent applications in e-business/e-commerce, e-learning, e-health, e-science, e-government, ..... - Your Topic Paper Submission and Publication ================================ All accepted papers will be included in the Symposium (Post-)Proceedings, which will be published by Springer as part of one of their series Studies in Computational Intelligence or Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing.

Conference website: http://linux.ece.uci.edu/soca07/ IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2007) June 19-20, 2007, Newport Beach, California Important Dates * Paper submission: Jan 7, 2006 * Paper decision: Mar 1, 2007 * Final version: April 10, 2007 * Conference date: June 19-20, 2007 Aims and scope Service-oriented computing has emerged as a major software architecture in the past few years. SOC using Web services is based on the open Internet standard protocols and is easier for enterprises to support. The success of service-oriented systems also relies on the wide adoption of the core technologies from all interconnected business partners and computing environments. Many researchers therefore are developing new models, technologies, and platforms for SOC. They also build flexible and adaptive infrastructures for services developments and management in order to facilitate the dynamic integration and composition of services across different platforms and organizations. While computer and engineering sciences have laid the foundation for service-oriented computing, the study produces more then just the tools to automate transactions and/or system integration. Indeed, by employing appropriate information and knowledge, service-oriented computing promises an unprecedented opportunity to rethink fundamental assumptions about markets and economic efficacy through electronic markets and virtual organizations, and open a whole range of new research questions. This conference provides a forum for researchers who are interested in the issues and practices related to the development of service-oriented computing, design and technology, including theoretical foundations, service infrastructures, and their applications and experiences. We welcome innovative service research from both academic and industry communities. The proceedings of SOCA conference 2007 will be published by IEEE. The best papers from the proceedings will be selected for publication in the new Springer Journal on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA), to be inaugurated in March 2007, as well as special issues in many other journals. Topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Service-Oriented Architecture o services analysis, design, development, and test o service orchestration and composition o business process integration and management o quality and reliability of web services * Service-Oriented Software Engineering o formal methods for services analysis, design, development, and test o SOA solution patterns o services matching and policy o verification and validation of SOA systems * Service System Technology o Service brokering and service integration o platform support for web services o QoS and end-to-end performance o Security, trust and privacy * Service-Oriented Semantic Computing o service representation and knowledge o software agent and service discovery o semantic web and ontological engineering o service evolutionary approaches * Service-Oriented Applications o e-business e-commerce and m-commerce o e-entertainment o e-government o e-health Conference website: http://linux.ece.uci.edu/soca07/ -- Yue Zhang Ph.D. Candidate The Henry Samueli School of Engineering University of California, Irvine University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-2700 yuez(a)uci.edu http://link.ece.uci.edu/~yuez/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Event-based systems have been established in industry and research for many years. They are now gaining increasing momentum as witnessed by current efforts in areas including event-driven architectures, business process management and modeling, Grid computing, Web services notifications, and message-oriented middleware. Events represent asynchronous state transitions in the environment and event-based computing refers to the computational support and abstractions required to adequately manage and process events. Continuing DEBS as an independent conference aims to satisfy this growing and interdisciplinary interest in event-based computing. The objectives of the DEBS Conference are to provide a forum dedicated to the dissemination of original research, the discussion of practical insights, and the reporting on relevant experience relating to event-based computing previously scattered across several communities. The scope of the conference covers all topics relevant to event-based computing ranging from those discussed in related disciplines (e.g., coordination, software engineering, peer-to-peer systems, Grid computing, and streaming databases), over domain-specific topics of event-based computing (e.g., workflow management systems, mobile computing, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, sensor networks, user interfaces, component integration, Web services, and embedded systems), to enterprise related topics (e.g., enterprise application integration, real time enterprises, and Web services notifications). ================ Conference Scope ================ The topics addressed by the conference include, but are not limited to: Models, Architectures, and Paradigms * Event-driven architectures * Complex event processing * Basic interaction models (publish/subscribe, register/notify, hybrids etc.) * Event schemas and type systems * Languages for event correlation and patterns, streaming and continuous queries, and data fusion * Performance modeling and prediction based on analytic approaches * Design and programming methodologies (e.g., MDA-based approaches) * Event-based business process management and modeling * Experimental methodologies (e.g., design of simulations and experiments) * Models for static and dynamic environments (e.g., client mobility models, distribution of clients and their behavior) Middleware Infrastructures for Event-Based Computing * Federated event-based systems (e.g., scoping and transforming) * Middleware for actuator and sensor networks * Algorithms and protocols (e.g., data diffusion, content-based routing, subscription merging, matching, pattern detection, etc.) * Event dissemination based on peer-to-peer routing substrates * Implementations of streaming queries, transformations, or correlation engines * Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, and recovery * Security issues (e.g., confidentiality, integrity, privacy, trust) * (Self-)Management (e.g., reconfiguration, adaptation, and organization) * Context and location awareness * Mobility and resource-constrained device support Applications, Experiences, and Requirements * Use cases and applications of event-based systems * Real-world application deployments using event-based middleware * Domain-specific deployments of event-based systems * Real-world data characterizing event-based applications * Benchmarks, performance evaluations, and testbeds * Seamless integration of event-based mechanisms into middleware platforms * Application requirements for next-generation event-based solutions * Relation to other architectures such as SOA * Enterprise application integration * Event-driven business process management (e.g., using RFID in logistics and healthcare) * Information logistics =============== Important Dates =============== Paper Submission: March 14, 2007 Author Notification: May 7, 2007 Final Manuscript due: May 28, 2007 DEBS Conference: June 20-22, 2007 =================== Conference Location =================== The conference will be held at the University of Toronto, Canada. ================= Program Committee ================= Jean M.

11 Dec '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:15:09 +0000 Von: Peter Milligan <p.milligan(a)qub.ac.uk> Antwort an: p.milligan(a)qub.ac.uk Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers for a special issue in the international journal Artificial Intelligence Review Title: Artificial Intelligence and the Grid Guest Editors: R. H. Perrott, P. Milligan and P. P. Sage Queen’s University Belfast The concept of the grid can be regarded as a facility with a number of layered components. The first layer is the computational grid which will provide the raw computing power, high speed bandwidth interconnection and associate data storage. The second layer, which is superimposed on top of the computational grid, is known as the information grid which will allow easily accessible connections to major sources of information and tools for its analysis and visualisation. The next layer is the knowledge grid which involves special techniques that give added value to the information and also provide intelligent guidance for decision-makers. This Call for Papers is concerned mainly with this last layer. Artificial intelligence has been a main stream research area for many years and the resulting numerous AI tools and techniques have been deployed in a wide variety of application areas. For example, expert systems and neural networks have been used in the various processes associated with autoparallelisation. Can AI techniques assist in the development of novel systems, environments and applications within the context of grid platforms ? This special issue intends to focus on this union of research areas and seeks papers that demonstrate how AI techniques are being used to assist in the development of quality systems intended for use on Grids. Topics include but are not limited the use of AI techniques within: Intelligent and Virtual Execution Environments (IVEE’s), Trust Enhanced Negotiation Protocols, Resource Aggregation, Service-Oriented Architectures, Fault-Tolerance, Collaborative Learning, Rational Argumentation among Agents, Intelligent Agent-Based Approaches for Grid Systems and Grid Applications Deadline for Submission: Friday, 2nd March 2007 Inquiries and manuscripts should be sent to Peter Milligan at P.Milligan(a)qub.ac.uk or Paul Sage at P.Sage(a)qub.ac.uk. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 2nd CFP - The First International Workshop on RFID Technology - Concepts, Applications, Challenges Datum: Wed, 06 Dec 2006 09:23:07 +0400 Von: Zakaria Maamar <Zakaria.Maamar(a)zu.ac.ae> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers - IWRT'07 The First International Workshop on RFID Technology - Concepts, Applications, Challenges 12 June 2007, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal http://www.iceis.org/workshops/iwrt/iwrt2007-cfp.html In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS'07) Workshop Background and Goals ----------------------------- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer information between tagged objects and readers without line of sight. This creates tremendous opportunities for linking various objects from real world. These objects are numbered, identified, catalogued, and tracked. In recent years, RFID has gained a significant momentum and is emerging as an important technology for revolutionizing a wide range of applications including supply chain management, retail, aircraft maintenance, anti-counterfeiting, baggage handling, healthcare, just to cite some. While RFID provides promising benefits such as inventory visibility and business process automation, some significant challenges need to be overcome before these benefits can be realized. One important issue is how to process and manage RFID data, which is typically in large volume, noisy and unreliable, time-dependent, dynamically changing, and of varying ownership. Another issue is how to seamlessly integrate low-level RFID data into (existing) enterprise information infrastructures (e.g., upper-level business processes). Finally, given the ability of inexpensively tagging and thus monitoring a large number of items and/or people, RFID raises some serious security and privacy concerns. Indeed, RFID privacy and security are stimulating research areas that involve rich interplay among many disciplines, like signal processing, hardware design, supply-chain logistics, privacy rights, and cryptography. The workshop's objective is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners, and users to exchange new ideas, developments, and experience on issues related to this emerging field. Topics of Interest ---------------------- We welcome papers that focus on novel RFID technologies and applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * Data management issues in RFID applications * Innovative RFID-enabled applications * Security/privacy and RFID * RFID and sensor networks * Web services and RFID * RFID and semantic Web * RFID standards * RFID case studies * RFID middleware * Next generation RFID technologies * Commercial experience with RFID * RFID network management * COTS and Open Source RFID infrastructure * Integration of RFID with other applications * Performance evaluation * Business process redesign and RFID Submission of Papers ------------------------ All papers must be written in English. There will be two types of papers: long (approx. 5000 words) and short (approx. 2000 words). Papers should be prepared in postscript, PDF, or Word and should be submitted through ICEIS web-based paper submission system. Format of the Workshop ------------------------ The workshop will consist of oral presentations. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the form of a book by INSTICC Press and indexed in DBLP. Journal Publication ------------------------ Best papers of the workshop will be considered for publication in a Special issue of International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology (IJIPT).

In order to make multimedia services ubiquitous, accessible and interoperable we need new mechanisms to describe and process the semantics of multimedia artefacts on the web. Metadata, mostly linguistic data about multimedia artefacts, will play an important role in these mechanisms. The overall objective of the workshop is to investigate the current practice of multimedia metadata for contextualized ubiquitous, accessible and interoperable services on a higher semantic level, e.g. in collaborative working environments. We concentrate on the development of services and test beds for MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 based services, but also contributions related to other multimedia metadata description standards are welcome. The majority of multimedia metadata description standards in use is based on XML. This has important consequences on the development of services and test beds on the database, the infrastructure and the interface level. We are encouraging especially contributions from interested research groups from the database, the web service and the web 2.0 area. This is the 6th Workshop of the Multimedia Metadata Community (http://www.multimedia-metadata.info). We want to extend this very active and successful community with new members. Important Dates: ================ * January, 7, 2007 Paper submission * January, 29, 2007 Notification of Authors * February, 14, 2007 Final papers Topics of the workshop are listed here but not limited to ========================================================= * Multimedia Semantics * Metadata Crosswalks * Metadata Interoperability * Multimedia Metadata * Attention Metadata * XML Databases for Metadata Management * Metadata based Web Services * Model Management * Emergent Semantics * Multimedia Authoring * Multimedia Databases * Multimedia Retrieval * Personalizing Multimedia Content * Cross-media Clustering * Mobile Multimedia * Multimedia Programming * Web 2.0 Submission & Contact ==================== Submissions can be in German or English.
