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.

Betreff: [computational.science] CfP: Multimedia Semantics - The Role

Call for Papers: Workshop Multimedia Semantics - The Role of Metadata
=====================================================================
6th Workshop of the Multimedia Metadata Community
Aachen, Germany, March 5-6, 2007.
http://www.multimedia-metadata.info/Events/WMS07/wms07cfp
The web 2.0 will be a multimedia web. 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

=========================================================
* 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

Location of the Meeting, Accommodation, Cultural Program
According to the preliminary agreement, the MMM-ACNS-07 Conference will take place in the historical building
"Palace of Grand Prince Vladimir Romanov," now "House of Scientists," located in the heart of St. Petersburg,
address: 26, Dvortsovaya emb., St. Petersburg, 191186, Russia. This venue allows the conference organizers to
arrange for the Conference itself, as well as for the associated events (informal discussions, reception, breaks,
etc.)
All participants are expected to arrive to St. Petersburg directly. Conference organizers intend to arrange for
transportation upon arrival and departure and to/from Conference venue/other hotel upon a separate request of
participants.
The following assistance in housing could be provided by local organizers. We intend to engage a Destination
Management Company "Monomax" to assist participants in housing and cultural programs
(http://monomax.ru/langeng). It is possible to make reservations at reasonable prices in hotels
in the St. Petersburg downtown area from $120 per night (single room), and from $130 per night (double room).
Also, reservations in better and more expensive hotels at $150 - $600 per night are available
(hotels like Astoria, Europe, Radisson SAS, etc.).
For students, the hostel from about $50 may be organized on special request.
Visa Issues
To come to Russia, all foreign participants will need an entering visa. As a host institution SPIIRAS will
handle this issue through a formal invitation letter to every participant.
To issue such a letter, we shall need the following details to include in the above letter for every individual:
first name, middle name, surname, date of birth, citizenship, passport No., expiration date
(as appear in a valid passport) and the city where the visa is applied in.
In addition, each individual has to fax copy of the first page of his/her passport at +7(812)328-06-85
containing personal data and dates of the passport number and expiry date.
Note that about one month is required only to arrange formal invitation in St. Petersburg. Time for invitation
mailing to the addressee and for getting visa at local consulate has to be added to calculate the deadline to be
met for receiving request for invitation letter by organizers.
