-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: SMPS 2006 3rd Call Datum: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 13:30:27 -0000 Von: Jonathan Lawry <J.Lawry(a)bristol.ac.uk> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> 3rd 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 Paper Submission Deadline **27 February** 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 February 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Special Session at WCCI2006 Datum: Fri, 03 Feb 2006 07:31:40 -0300 Von: rweber(a)dii.uchile.cl Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers (EXTENDED DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 15TH!!) Special Session on Computational Intelligence for Dynamic Data Mining World Congress on Computational Intelligence WCCI 2006 (www.wcci2006.org) Vancouver, BC, Canada July 16-21, 2006 During the last two decades, we have witnessed the rapid development of the technology of data mining along with a plethora of advanced architectures and techniques. There are numerous successful applications that have spurred more interest in the area and fostered the need for further research on methodological issues, algorithms and specialized development platforms. What still remains an open issue, however, is the question how to update the respective systems when new data becomes available. Here, dynamic data mining comes into play by offering a coherent suite of technologies for ?updating? and enhancing functionality of the existing data mining systems. Such dynamic aspects of systems become highly relevant to all categories of applications of data mining such as e.g. clustering, classification, association and deviation detection, visualization, to name the most representative examples. Computational Intelligence (CI), in particular neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computing forming a coherent conceptual and algorithmic platform, offers evident advantages by supporting understanding, modeling, and experimenting in presence of dynamic aspects of data mining. For instance, neural networks offer superb learning abilities and in this sense become of evident interest when dealing with various facets of pattern updating. Some other aspects of dynamic data mining are related to concept drift and in this case fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets offer an interesting insight into the vagueness of the underlying phenomenon. Genetic optimization helps address various aspects of structural optimization. Evolutionary computing with its inherent adaptation capabilities provides powerful mechanisms for dynamic data mining. The intent of the special session is to help address the needs for a well balanced methodological development and foster more interaction between different sectors of the research community and share experience on advanced case studies and successful real-world applications. Topics of interest (not limited to) - The development of specialized computational Intelligence methods for dynamic data mining, considering various categories of applications, e.g. clustering, classification, association and deviation detection, visualization. - The use of well established technology of Computational Intelligence to dynamic data mining - Reports on successful applications and case studies of dynamic data mining to real world problems. In this class of submission we anticipate a comprehensive report on the development, design cycle, comparative analysis and evaluation of the resulting system. Deadlines Paper submission deadline February 15th, 2006 Accept/revise/reject decisions March 15th, 2006 Revised final manuscript due date: April 15th, 2006 Submission The manuscripts should adhere to the formal guidelines of the Congress, refer to http://www.wcci2006.org When submitting your paper via the web site www.wcci2006.org the Paper Submission System will ask you for the "Main Research Topic".

[Fwd: IntraWebs 2006 - Last Call]
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Feb '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IntraWebs 2006 - Last Call Datum: Thu, 09 Feb 2006 09:54:31 +0100 Von: Fabien Gandon <Fabien.Gandon(a)sophia.inria.fr> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ *Workshop IntraWebs 2006 - Call for papers* a workshop at WWW 2006 see: http://www-sop.inria.fr/acacia/WORKSHOPS/IntraWebs2006/ Paper submission deadline: 10th of February 2006 -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- *Summary* We call intraweb, a web comprising all HTTP nodes on an intranet. Most large companies have intrawebs as part of their internal information systems, enabling them to share confidential resources with their employees e.g. organisational structure, corporate templates, HR resources, forms, directory, agendas, news, policies, project descriptions, expert directory, partnerships with external companies, law information, etc. Intrawebs offer a safe place to publish interfaces to corporate 'legacy' data, information systems and shared applications. In many organisations intrawebs became a privileged means for knowledge management. The Web technologies are used internally for servers distributing information, browsers are used to access it and in addition to an economy of scale in terms of building, deployment and maintenance costs, one can also recognize an economy of scale in terms cognitive workload: reusing the same technologies and tools as the World Wide Web to build an organization-wide web of internal documents makes it familiar and easier both for developers and users and from the users' stand point the open web and the intraweb seamlessly integrate in their navigators. Many evolutions of the world-wide web have been adopted and used in internal webs. Even latest web tools meet application scenarios on corporate webs: wikis are used to edit and maintain corporate documents, blogs are used for news and technological watch, etc. Being on a private network of the company, intrawebs can include a whole family of applications that could not be made available on the public web for confidentiality reasons. Within a company the existence of communities and their shared professional interests makes the intraweb a selected place to develop and experiment new web-based solutions. The microcosm of intrawebs has also been used as labs and seeds for new web applications that then spread on the open web. The goal of this workshop is to bring designers, researchers and practitioners together and exchange ideas and experiences concerning intrawebs. *Keywords* intranets, internal web sites and web applications, corporate webs, corporate portals, online corporate memories, corporate web services, corporate semantic webs *Possible subjects include* - Design tools and methodologies for internal portals and web sites; - Usage and usefulness analysis of corporate webs; - Security, privacy, profile-based access to intrawebs resources; - Corporate search engines, directories and novel navigation means; - Web-based management of corporate workflows and knowledge; - Internal web log and feedback analysis to improve accessibility and usability; - Web-based corporate memories, libraries and archives; - Corporate Web applications to foster collaboration (expert matching, acquaintance networks, communities of practices, communities of interest, etc.); - Web-based enterprise application integration; - Corporate wikis, corporate blogs, corporate web services, corporate semantic webs, etc.; - Connection of internal webs and external web. *Motivations and objectives* Historically there has always been a synergy between world-wide web evolutions and intra-webs experiments. Many evolutions of the world-wide web have been adopted and used in internal webs and, vice-versa, many local initiatives on intrawebs turned out to be seeds of new web applications. Nowadays corporate webs are a de facto central piece of corporate information systems. However many options exist (architectures, technologies, policies, etc.) and we should foster the exchange of experiences. This workshops aims at providing a survey of the current trends on intrawebs, foster exchanges of returns on experience, discuss options available when building intrawebs, evaluation criteria and priorities (open vs. secure, content and indexing, etc.). Ideally, it would be the meeting point of a community of practice. This workshop is open: any person interested should have the opportunity to participate. We will rely on reviews by peers chosen from an international program committee; we intend to get three reviews per paper. *Submission* Submissions should be sent to mailto:intrawebs2006@sophia.inria.fr Submission should follow the format of the WWW06 conference. (see http://www2006.org/ ) Submitted papers may be up to 10 pages including all figures, tables, and references. *Dates* - Submissions deadline: February 10th, 2006 - Acceptance notifications: March 10th, 2006 - Camera-ready versions: March 25th, 2006 - Workshop: Tuesday 23rd May at WWW 2006, all workshop presenters must register for the conference before the early registration deadline. *Steering committee* Fabien Gandon and Rose Dieng-Kuntz INRIA, Acacia Research Team 2004 route des Lucioles, BP 93 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex FRANCE *Programme committee* - Jean-Paul Barthès (Technological University of Compiègne) - Richard Benjamins (iSoco) - Sophie de Bonis (INRIA Sophia Antipolis) - Bertrand Braunschweig (IFP) - Michel Buffa (University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis) - Olivier Corby (INRIA Sophia Antipolis) - Oscar Corcho (University of Manchester) - Aldo Gangemi (Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technology, Roma) - Alain Giboin (INRIA Sophia Antipolis) - Asunción Gómez-Pérez (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) - Bernard Horan (Sun) - Michel Klein (Vrije University) - Alistair Miles (CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory) - Colas Nahaboo (ILOG Sophia Antipolis) - Amedeo Napoli (LORIA) - Jean-Francois Nogier (Usabilis) - Alun Preece (University of Aberdeen) - Ulrich Reimer (University of Applied Sciences St. Gallen) - Heiner Stuckenschmidt (Vrije University) - York Sure (University of Karlsruhe) -- ____________ |__ _ |_ http://www-sop.inria.fr/acacia/personnel/Fabien.Gandon/ | (_||_) INRIA Sophia Antipolis - ph# (33)(0)4 92 38 77 88 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

This event is organized in cooperation with the University of Valladolid, Spain. The CRIWG workshops have been motivated by advances in Computer Supported Cooperative Work, and by the need for CSCW to meet the challenges of new application areas. This workshop aims at providing a forum for academic researchers and professionals to exchange their experiences and their ideas about problems and solutions related to the design, development and use of groupware applications. Researchers can report their ideas, models, designs and experiences to CRIWG submitting full paper contributions to present achieved or mature works, and shorter papers to report work in progress. PhD students are invited to present their research in the doctoral colloquium. All topics related to Groupware are welcome, including: - Web / Internet cooperative applications / environments - Middleware for CSCW applications - Distribution / replication support of shared information - Groupware development frameworks and toolkits - Collaborative workspaces, tailoring - Languages and tools supporting collaboration - Monitoring and analysis of group interactions - Workflow management and coordination - Administration support for distributed communities - Work modelling in CSCW - Organizational computing - Multi-user interfaces, Group Awareness - Social aspects of group work - Nomadic and/or mobile collaborative work - Virtual groups and virtual worlds - Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) - Group decision and negotiation support (GDSS), Meetingware - Hypermedia systems, Digital libraries - Adaptive collaborative environments - Collaborative applications and case studies It is expected that the workshop will promote a very intensive interaction among those attending it, giving ample time to discuss papers. IMPORTANT DATES FOR FULL AND WORK IN PROGRESS PAPERS Submission deadline: April 24, 2006 Notification of acceptance: June 12, 2006 Camera ready papers: July 10, 2006 CRIWG 2006 Workshop: September 16-21, 2006 Doctoral Colloquium: September 17, 2006 Submission deadline for doctoral colloquium papers: August 14, 2006 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The CRIWG 2006 full and work in progress papers will be published by Springer-Verlag as part of their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (http://www.springeronline.com/lncs). Additionally, it is highly probable that a selected set of papers will be published in special issues of well-known journals, as in pervious editions of CRIWG. Electronic paper submissions are due on April 24, 2006 in two categories: full technical papers and work in progress papers. Full papers have a length of up to 16 pages while work in progress papers should have a maximum length of 8 pages, both of them following the Springer LNCS format. Full and work in progress paper have to be submitted using a Web-site to be announced soon. We will use a double-blind reviewing process. Please, do not include the author's name and affiliation or any indication, which may disclose the paper's authorship, in the submitted paper itself. As a result of the reviewing process, the Program Committee may suggest changes in the format and/or the contents of the paper, including the category of the paper. In this case, a paper will be conditionally accepted. The PC Chairs will decide on the final acceptance or rejection, based on the analysis of the revised paper. The format for the final version will be the Springer LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), which includes e.g. templates for MS Word and Latex. Paper submissions for the doctoral colloquium are due on August 14, 2006. For submission guidelines concerning the doctoral colloquium please refer to the CRIWG 2006 web site (http://www.criwg.org). KEYNOTE SPEAKER To be announced CONFERENCE VENUE The conference will take place in the historical castle of Medina del Campo, known as Castillo de la Mota. This 13th century building, reformed in the 15th century and restored in 1942 has an important historical role, being used by the Catholic kings as their residence, and later as an important prison of the many enemies of Spanish kings, like Cesar Borgia (the inspirer of Maquiavelo's Prince) or Hernando Pizarro (with his brother Francisco, conquerors of Peru). The castle is placed in a prominent hill upon which castellan flat landscape can be overviewed. The nearby village of Medina del Campo has always been renowned by its ferias generales, markets for products brought from all Europe. Nowadays, this market survives devoted for agricultural and farming products of the region, and can be enjoyed by visitors every Sunday. One of the regions most remarkable products, wine, can be fully enjoyed in Medina del Campo. It is the center of one of the origin denominations of wine in Spain ("vino de la Tierra de Medina"), but several others are very close (remarkably, "Rueda" and "Ribera de Duero" among others). Many vineyards and cellars are open to visitors, having also restaurants were wine can be tasted along with the excellent "lechazo" (lamb) cooked in traditional wood ovens, among several other regional dishes.
