[Fwd: [computational.science] New Submission Deadline - Special Issue on Context-Aware Web Services]
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Mar '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] New Submission Deadline - Special Issue on Context-Aware Web Services Datum: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 07:40:07 +0400 Von: Zakaria Maamar <Zakaria.Maamar(a)zu.ac.ae> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 10 Call for Papers --------------- Special Issue on Context-Aware Web Services Distributed and Parallel Databases Journal SCOPE ----- Web services are nowadays emerging as a major technology for deploying automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. Various standards support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. These standards respectively support the definition of Web services, their advertisement to the community of potential users, and finally their binding for invocation purposes. In general, composing Web services rather than accessing a single Web service is essential and provides better benefits to users. Composition primarily addresses the situation of a user's request that cannot be satisfied by any available Web service, whereas a composite service obtained by combining available services may be used. Several questions arise during Web services composition and execution including which businesses have the capacity to provision Web services, when and where the provisioning of Web services occurs, and how Web services from independent parties coordinate their activities during execution so conflicts are avoided. To address some of these questions, it is recommended using the context in which the composition and execution of Web services occur. Context is generally perceived as the information that characterizes the interaction between humans, applications, and the surrounding environment. From a Web services perspective, it is expected that context should define a set of common data about the current status of a Web service and its capability of collaborating with peers, possibly enacted by distinct providers. For example before a Web service agrees to participate in a composite service its status in term of current participation is assessed. Moreover, before a back-up strategy is deployed an assessment of the exception that a Web service has arisen is needed. By organizing this special issue, we aim at presenting recent and significant developments in the general area of context-aware Web services. We seek original and high quality submissions related (but not limited to) to one or more of the following topics: - Ontologies and context for Web services. - Context-based semantic matching for Web services composition. - Context-based Web services deployment. - Software agent-based approaches for context-based Web services interaction. - Context-aware Web services in a mobile configuration. - Context and security for Web services - Security of context during Web services interactions. - Software agents and context for Web services personalization - Composition of context-aware Web services. - Description, organization, and discovery of context-aware Web services. - Context-aware Web services and semantic issues. - Technologies and infrastructures for context-aware Web services.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Workshop on Bayesian Networks in Intelligent Tutoring (BANIT 2006): One-Week Reminder Datum: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 08:06:00 +0800 Von: Chao-Lin Liu <chaolin(a)nccu.edu.tw> Antwort an: chaolin(a)nccu.edu.tw Firma: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Referenzen: <1143492645.15224.B9015053(a)mail.ntust.edu.tw> Dear Professors and Researchers, Please be reminded that the due date for BANIT 2006 is April 3rd. Details about BANIT 2006 follow. Regards, Chao-Lin Liu ================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Bayesian Networks in Intelligent Tutoring (BANIT 2006) The Eighth International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems Jhongli, Taiwan, June 26-30, 2006 ITS 2006: http://www.its2006.org, BANIT 2006: http://www.lcc.uma.es/BANIT06/ (due date: APRIL 3, 2006) Personalization and adaptivity are invaluable features in modern intelligent tutoring systems. However, it is not easy for software to decide how to adapt its performance to meet individual student's needs, partially because there are rare deterministic correspondences between what we observe and what we need to know for making the best decisions for intelligent tutoring. For instance, students can make inadvertent and intentional mistakes while they are competent in the subject matter being tested. It is also difficult to infer students' learning needs by observing how they explore educational web sites. Building operational models that can capture and reason about the uncertainty is thus important for intelligent tutoring that aims at meeting individual student's needs. Bayesian networks offer a great formalism for modeling under uncertainty, and have been adopted in many applications including intelligent tutoring in the past decade or so. This satellite workshop of the Eighth International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems aims at providing a forum for interested researchers and practitioners to discuss and share methodologies and applications of Bayesian networks in all aspects of intelligent tutoring. Interested topics thus include, but are not limited to, how we can learn Bayesian networks of interest either from experts, data, or both; how we apply Bayesian networks to modeling major participants, including students and teachers, in the learning processing; how the models can help us choose pedagogical activities, including student assessment and course material presentation; and practical issues such as reusability, maintenance, and scalability of the resulting tutoring assistance systems. ====== Topics ====== The main purpose of this workshop is to attract researchers who are interested in methodologies and applications of Bayesian networks and influence diagrams (also known as decision networks) for intelligent tutoring. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following subject matters. * Building networks: using expert's opinion, learning from data, theoretical models, etc. * User modeling: diagnosis of knowledge/skills, multi-layered models, affective computing, emotional monitoring, etc. * Task selection algorithms: curriculum sequencing, testing knowledge, problem selection, etc. * Displaying results to users: inspectable models, open models, etc. * Reusability, maintenance and upgrade of systems * Practical barriers to adoption ====== Format ====== The workshop will consist of paper presentation, poster session, and discussions. ====== Submission ====== Those who wish to attend are welcomed to submit papers in one of the following three forms. All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. * a long paper of up to eight pages * a short paper of up to four pages for the poster session * a position paper of up to two pages Submissions are accepted in PDF format only, using the provided formatting guidelines available at the workshop web site at http://www.lcc.uma.es/BANIT06/. If you encounter difficulties in submitting papers, please contact the workshop organizers Eva Millan <eva(a)lcc.uma.es> and Chao-Lin Liu <chaolin(a)nccu.edu.tw>. ====== Publication ====== All accepted articles will be included in the workshop proceedings that will be printed by the ITS main conference. We are invited to publish selected workshop papers in a book that will be included in the Studies in Computational Intelligence series of Springer. The terms are being finalized. ====== Program Committee ====== Russell G.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: UIC-06 deadline only three days away (March 19, 2006) Datum: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 20:47:24 -0500 Von: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Antwort an: Mieso Denko <denko(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> The UIC-06 submission deadline has been extended to March 19, 2006. ********************* UIC-06 ************************* The 3rd IFIP International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06) - Building Smart Worlds on Real and Cyber Spaces - http://www.uic-conference.org/2006/ http://grid.hust.edu.cn/uic06/ Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Following ubiquitous computers, networks, information, services, etc., is a road towards a smart world (SW) created on both real and cyber spaces. A SW is mainly characterized by ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or computational intelligence pervasive in the physical world, filled with ubiquitous intelligent or smart things, that are capable of computing, communicating, and behaving smartly with some intelligence. One of the profound implications of such ubiquitous smart things is that various kinds and levels of intelligence will exist ubiquitously in everyday objects, environments, systems and even ourselves, and possibly be extended from man-made to natural things. "Ubicomp" or "percomp" can be regarded as the computing of all these intelligent/smart things/u-things, that are essential elements and components of the SW. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the ubiquitous world with universal services of any means/place/time to the SW of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-06 is a successor of the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds (UISW2005, Japan, Dec. 2005) which succeeds the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005,Taipei, Mar. 2005). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and SWs. Topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects * Electronic Label, Card, E-Tag and RFID * Embedded Chips, Sensor & Actuator * MEMS, NEMS, Mote & Biometric Device * Everyday Good, Artifact, Robot, etc. * Smart Appliance and Wearable Device * Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects * Embedded Software and Agents 2. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Environments * Room, Home, Office, Laboratory, etc. * Building, Library, School, Campus, etc. * Shop, Clinic, Hospital and Health Care * Street, Yard, Park, Ground, City, etc. * Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation * Land, Pool, Space and Hyperspace * Learning, Sport, Entertainment, etc. * Novel Intelligent/Smart Applications 3. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Systems * Sensor, Ad Hoc & Intelligent Networks * Knowledge Representation and Ontology * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems * OS, Middleware and Intelligent Association * Intelligent Service Architecture, Grid & Mesh * Massive Agents, Swarm/Amorphous Systems * Proactive, Autonomic and Organic Systems * Novel Intelligent/Smart Systems 4. Personal/Social/Physical Aspects * Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics * End-User Interface, Control & Programming * Social/Natural/Physical Model of UI & SW * User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition * Security, Privacy, Trust and Legal/Policy Issues * Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors * Implication and Impact of UI and SW * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: March 10, 2006 --> March 19, 2006 Authors Notification: May 10, 2006 Final Manuscript Due: June 10, 2006 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file. Submit your paper(s) at the UIC-06 web site: http://grid.hust.edu.cn/uic06 ==PAPER PUBLICATION== Accepted papers will be published by Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital library after the conference. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in special issues of the Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (JUCI), and the International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications (JPCC). A set of high quality papers of the conference, after further revisions, also will be published in an edited book published by Springer, Germany, and in an edited book published by IDEA Publishing Group, USA, respectively. ==Organizing Committees== Honorary Chairs Norio Shiratori, Tohoku University, Japan Yaoxue Zhang, Tsinghua University, China General Chairs Jeffrey J.P.
