-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: SciFlow workshop - April 8, Atlanta, GA Datum: Wed, 1 Mar 2006 14:27:43 -0500 (EST) Von: Brian Frank Cooper <cooperb(a)cc.gatech.edu> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Participation SciFlow 2006 IEEE Workshop on Workflow and Data Flow for Scientific Applications in conjunction with ICDE 2006 April 8, 2006 - Atlanta, Georgia http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~cooperb/sciflow06/ Sponsored by Microsoft ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computation has been described as the "third leg" of science, along with theory and experimentation. Certainly, modern information systems are vital to managing and processing the huge amounts of data produced by simulations and experiments. However, existing tools are only now beginning to catch up with the needs of today's scientists, and much more needs to be done to support the computational needs of tomorrow's scientists. In particular, scientists still need effective tools to deal with massive data sets that may be geographically scattered, to apply multiple complex and interacting transformations to the data, and to ensure the quality and repeatability of their computations. The IEEE Workshop on Workflow and Data Flow for Scientific Applications brings together researchers who are exploring how to build the next generation of information systems to address these needs. The papers presented in this workshop demonstrate the ability of computer scientists and natural scientists to work together to create computer systems that support scientific exploration. The systems and techniques described in these papers range from general toolkits that make it easier for a wide range of scientists to produce and manage workflows and dataflows, to specific case studies of scientific applications which leverage workflow support in innovative ways. Our hope is that by bringing researchers together to discuss these papers, we can help generate further discussions and collaborations aimed at applying workflow and data flow technology to meet scientists' needs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Technical Program ----------------- 9:00 Workshop start and introduction ------------------------------------ 9:30 Session 1: Creating and executing workflows ------------------------------------------------ Implementing a Bioinformatics Pipeline (BIP) on a Mediator Platform: Comparing Cost and Quality of Alternate Choices.

[Fwd: CFP: Bayesian Networks in Intelligent Tutoring]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: Bayesian Networks in Intelligent Tutoring Datum: Wed, 1 Mar 2006 23:23:45 +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> 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>. ====== Program Committee ====== Russell G.

The doctoral consortium will offer Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in an interdisciplinary and international atmosphere. The doctoral consortium will be accompanied by prominent professors and researchers in the field of professional learning. These accompanying professors will participate actively and contribute to the discussions. The doctoral consortium is co-located with and will take place immediately before the ECTEL 2006 conference. The doctoral consortium language is English. ---Topics of Interest--- As for the ECTEL conference, all topics from the field of professional learning are of interest for the doctoral consortium. These topics include (but are not limited to): Collaborative Learning: Learning Communities, Distributed Teams, Instructional Methods for Collaborative Learning, Problem Solving Support, Collaborative Knowledge Building and Sharing, Collaborative Games, Online Experiments Personalized Learning: Reasoning Techniques, Adaptation Patterns and Techniques, Data Mining, Information Retrieval, Learner Modeling, Learner Assessment and Testing, Remote Monitoring of Users, Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Instructions, Competencies in Workplace Learning Authoring: Authoring and Re-Use of Learning Objects, Authoring and Learning Design, Authoring Tools, Re-Authoring and Re-Purposing, Authoring of Multimedia Learning Content, Authoring for Ubiquitous Learning Semantic Web, Metadata and Learning: Learning Objects, Learning Activities, Learning Design, Narrative and Navigation Models, Semantic Clustering, Metadata for Search and Information Retrieval Workplace Learning: Knowledge Management and Learning, Business Processes and Learning, Cost and Economy Models, Leveraging Expertise, Vocational Education, Informal Learning, Situated Learning, Social Constructivsm, Social Software, Organizational Learning, Corporate Training, Institutional change strategies, Knowledge Sharing, Learning and Competence Development on-the-job, Workplace-related eLearning Learning Repositories and Infrastructures for Learning: Web services, Multi-Agent Systems, Peer-to-Peer Infrastructures, Runtime Engines for Learning Design and Learning Objects, Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning, Multimedia and Learning, Virtual Reality and Learning, Deployment Strategies, Design of e-learning environments ---Submission--- Papers describing doctoral work should be submitted in PDF or PostScript format before June 7, 2006. The paper length should not exceed 6 pages (single linespace, Times New Roman (or similar) font type, 12 pt font size, reasonable margins). In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address specifically doctoral work! Therefore, the following elements are recommended: - A clear formulation of the research question. - An identification of the significant problems in the field of research. - An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions. - A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far. - A sketch of the applied research methodology. - A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem solution. - A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem. The intention of this doctoral consortium is to support and inspire Ph.D. students during their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that authors will have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor officially submitted their thesis before the doctoral consortium (October 2, 2006). To enforce this rule we require authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their advisor's name when submitting. Papers will be reviewed by at leas two members of the doctoral consortium committee. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Papers will also be made available electronically to the participants before the symposium to facilitate preparation of discussions and questions. Presentations will be kept short (10-15 minutes). A discussant, a member of the doctoral consortium committee, will be appointed to each paper. Discussant comments will be followed by a plenary discussion of the paper. At the end of the consortium there will be a general discussion, including a brainstorming session about current and future research topics in the area. Only electronic submissions are accepted. E-mail your paper as an attachment in PDF or Postscript format to dc-ectel06(a)i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de.
