Flexible system collaboration and seamless system integration are the key concerns when implementing distributed information systems. With the availability of open standards, to overcome cross-platform barriers, and facilities to support service construction, SOA and Web services are being adopted by industries to make business services perform more efficiently and effectively. They contribute to the shaping of the processes of business modeling, solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture design, development and deployment. However, the applications and methods of SOA have not been fully exploited. SOAIC-2006 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners from different areas of computer science and information systems to exchange information and their experiences on the enabling technologies and best practices for Service Oriented Computing, and to identify the emerging research topics. The Second IEEE International Symposium on Service-Oriented Application, Integration and Collaboration (SOAIC2006) will be held together with The IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE2006) on Oct 24, 2006, in Shanghai, China. It is to continue on from the success of SOAIC2005 which had 20 accepted papers presented, out of 100 submissions from around the world. SOAIC2006 has the mission of "Service-Oriented, Application-centric, Integration-focused, collaboration enforced". It aims to bridge the gap between business and information technology using service-oriented paradigms and approaches. The major topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Service-Oriented Architecture, Semantics and Web Services Technologies - Service-Oriented Multi-Agent - Grid Services - Dynamic and Intelligent Service Composition and Process Modeling - Web Services Modeling - Service-Oriented Application Design, Development and Deployment - Service-oriented Business Process Modeling, Transformation and Integration - Service-Oriented Business Planning, Integration and Practices - QoS of Web Services and Business Performance Management Services - Efficiency, Trust and Security with SOA Applications Symposium Co-Chairs: Prof. Yinsheng Li Fudan University Email:liys@fudan.edu.cn Dr. Ying Huang IBM Watson Research Center E-mail:yxh@us.ibm.com Dr. Kuo-Ming Chao Coventry University E-mail:k.chao@coventry.ac.uk Kuo-Ming Chao, PhD Senior Lecturer Leader of Distributed Systems and Modelling Research Group Department of Computer and Network Systems Coventry University Tel: +44 24 76888908 Fax:+44 24 76888199 http://www.mis.coventry.ac.uk/research/dsm/kmchao.html

[Fwd: Cfp: 2nd International Workshop on Grid and Peer-to-Peer based Workflows (GPWW)]
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Cfp: 2nd International Workshop on Grid and Peer-to-Peer based Workflows (GPWW) Datum: Mon, 6 Mar 2006 14:05:23 +1100 Von: Jun Shen <jshen(a)uow.edu.au> Antwort an: <jshen(a)uow.edu.au> Firma: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers 2nd International Workshop on Grid and Peer-to-Peer based Workflows (GPWW) September 4th 2006, Vienna, Austria http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/conferences/gpww/ To be held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2006) Many e-science and complex e-business applications, such as climate modeling, astrophysics, high-energy physics, structural biology and chemistry, medical surgery, international banking, insurance, international stock market modeling and control, require the creation of a collaborative workflow management system as part of their sophisticated problem solving processes in the grid environments. At the same time, since many e-scientists and business people lack the necessary low-level expertise to utilize the current generation of Grid toolkits, such as GT4, and the specified workflow processes themselves can then be reused, shared, adapted and annotated with interpretations of quality, provenance and security, the research and development of grid workflow management systems become a must and have already evoked a high degree of interest. Furthermore, because the Grid requires a very highly distributed workflow management that can take advantage of the distributed resources across multi-institutional virtual organizations, the decentralized grid workflow deployment becomes a further interesting research area. As such, peer-to-peer based workflow comes into the picture, which is supposed to provide a kind of decentralized grid workflow infrastructure to more efficiently support widely spread grid workflows across the Grid. Given that a lot of valuable work has been done on business process management, the exploration of whether and how to apply existing business process technologies into grid workflow process management is another important focus of this workshop. With the success of 1st workshop, which was held in Melbourne of Australia in 2005 (proceedings published by IEEE CS Press), the objective of the International Workshop on Grid and Peer-to-Peer based Workflows is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to report advances in grid and peer-to-peer based workflow research. The workshop will cover the broad spectrum of research relevant to grid and peer-to-peer based workflows, including, but not limited to, the following: · Grid workflow infrastructure based on the Grid toolkits such as GT4 · Grid workflow API and GUI · Workflow specification languages targeting grid applications · Grid workflow execution engines that interoperate with grid services · Grid services that support workflow execution · Grid workflow verification and validation · Formal representation, e-science workflow patterns, and temporal verification · Grid workflow system performance analysis · Specialized tools for managing grid workflow such as exception handling. · Decentralized grid workflow infrastructure · Peer-to-peer based workflow management in grid infrastructure · Non-functional issues, like QoS and security, in peer-to-peer based workflow · Advanced workflow use-cases based on real grid experience · Simulation environments for grid and peer-to-peer workflow reasoning · Application of business process management techniques in grid workflows Submission Requirements All contributions will be reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to workshop themes. Papers are expected to be no more than 12 pages (additional 2 pages allowed for a charge of 100€ per page) and should be formatted in LNCS format (see www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Submitted papers must be written in English and identify the contribution of the paper. Please submit your manuscripts to gpww(a)ict.swin.edu.au. Publication of Papers All accepted workshop papers will appear in the proceedings together with other BPM workshops published by the Springer. Authors of accepted papers must register for the BPM 2006 conference.

Even though some of the data is in well-organized data sources, when it needs to be ntegrated with or be interoperable with data from other sources, semantic coordination and conflict resolution are required. The Semantic Web has been proposed as the next generation of the existing web. Semantic Web enabled applications can potentially produce better results for semantic integration, interoperability and search. Ontologies have been utilized for interoperability among various data sources. The role of ontology is one of the central points in the Semantic Web enabled applications. Semantics in ontologies and conceptual modelling play central roles to achieve interoperability among semantic web applications. The focus of this workshop is to present research concerning issues such as: 1) learning/constructing ontologies and conceptual modelling for Semantic Web-enabled e-sources and applications; 2) utilizing ontologies and conceptual modelling for data management, integration and interoperability in Semantic web applications; and 3) arccitectures, models, nd languages for achieving Semantic Web goals. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit theoretical, technical and practical research contributions regarding the methodology and techniques to build the Semantic Web and utilize the Semantic Web techniques. We are particularly interested in the e-business, medical informatics and bioinformatics domains. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Learning structures from the Web for Semantic Web-enabled applications * Ontology generation/learning * Building/utilizing ontologies and knowledge bases * Ontology management and maintenance * Semantics and ontologies in data integration * Conceptual and logical models for Web data sources and applications * Ontology-enabled search (engines) * Semantic Web-enabled search (engines) * Semantic web-enabled question answering system * Ontology-enabled interoperability among e-sources * Semantic interoperability * Conceptual modelling in the Semantic Web era * Schema mapping/matching and integration * Ontology-enabled information retrieval * Semantic Web-enabled information retrieval * Conceptual modelling for Semantic Web-enabled applications * Data management and integration for Semantic Web-enabled applications * Semantic annotation * Semantic Web personalization * User modelling for Semantic Web applications * Semantic Web-enabled user modelling * Semantic Web services * Ranking * Reasoning * Querying the Semantic Web * Views for the Semantic Web * Semantic Web mining * Text/data mining for Semantic Web-enabled application * Natural language processing for Semantic Web-enabled application * Applying Semantic Web techniques to e-business, medical informatics, and bioinformatics The volume will be published by Springer as part of its LNCS series. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES Authors are invited to submit original papers via email to Hyoil Han (hhan(a)ischool.drexel.edu) as a PDF file. Since the workshop papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series, authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style. See www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. The suggested number of pages is 14, and the maximum number of pages is 16. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 16 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. (The final, camera-ready version must not exceed 14 pages to avoid page charges.)

(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.
