[Fwd: [computational.science] CFP: Semantic-Based Resource , Discovery, Retrieval and Composition]
by Gustaf Neumann 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: Semantic-Based Resource , Discovery, Retrieval and Composition Datum: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 11:48:25 +0200 Von: Massimo Paolucci <paolucci(a)docomolab-euro.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [We apologize for multiple copies] ======================= CALL FOR PAPERS =================================== Semantic-Based Resource Discovery, Retrieval and Composition SDRC http://sisinflab.poliba.it/sac2007/ TECHNICAL TRACK at the 22nd ACM Symposium on Applied Computing SAC 2007 http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2007/ ============================================================================ SAC 2007 For the past twenty-one years, the ACM Sym-posium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2007 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is hosted by Seoul National University in Seoul and The Suwon University in Gyeonggi-do. SEMANTIC-BASED RESOURCE DISCOVERY, RETRIEVAL AND COMPOSITION Track This track aims at gathering researchers from various fields, spanning from web/mobile services discovery and composition, to intelligent multimedia retrieval, to planning in artificial intelligence, to matchmaking in electronic commerce. We envisage the following topics as central for the track: - retrieval of resource descriptions - knowledge management - supply chain formation - web/mobile service discovery and composition - node discovery in P2P networks - matchmaking of resource request and resource providers - planning and scheduling - semantic-based resource negotiation - semantic annotation for multimedia - information integration - semantic grid All these topics share as central the notion of "Semantically-annotated Resource" in general searching problems with respect to a request. A resource is a broad term comprising goods in electronic commerce, information available in remote sites, services announced through Internet, learning objects, digital images, to mention a few. Whatever their nature, the term "resource" is used in a general sense for whatever might be identified atomically and univocally. Hence, the problem of resource matching and retrieval arises in several scenarios. The front-end of a resource is always a description of what the resource is, what it provides, who can access it, possibly with side economic constraints. All this information can be semantically annotated, either directly in XML, or using some upper strata for defining standard terms as in ebXML, or OWL-S. While semantic annotation rules out ambiguities of Natural Language, the problem raises about how well a single resource fits a particular request, or whether there is a pool of resources which - suitably composed - cover a request. Side economic conditions in resource descriptions, such as cost, method of payment, payments delay, can make compositions difficult to be properly formed, while economic constraints in resource request usually filter out some solutions. SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit original papers related, but not limited to, the proposed track topics. Submissions fall into the following categories: - Original and unpublished research work - Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas - Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains - Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems Peer groups with expertise in the track focus area will blindly review submissions to that track. Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES The proposed schedule of important dates for the track is as follows: - Paper Submission deadline - Sept. 8, 2006 - Notification of acceptance - October 16, 2006 - Camera-ready version deadline - October 30, 2006 - Track Date - March 11 - 15, 2007 PROGRAM COMMITTEE (To be completed) Marco Aiello - University of Trento - Italy Daniela Berardi - University of Rome "La Sapienza" - Italy Flavius Frasincar - Eindhoven University of Technology - Nederlands Michael C.

Apologies for possible duplicate postings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS - TwUC 2006 First International Workshop on Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing (TwUC 2006) December 4-6, 2006 Yogyakarta, Indonesia http://www.iiwas.org/conferences/twuc2006/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc Weiser presented his vision of disappearing and ubiquitous computing more than 15 years ago. The big picture of the computer introduced into our environment was a big innovation and the starting point for various areas of research. In order to totally adopt the idea of ubiquitous computing several houses were build, equipped with technology and used as laboratory in order to find and test appliances that are useful and could be made available in our everyday life. Within the last years industry picked up the idea of integrating ubiquitous computing and several already available products like remote controls for your house exist and can be bought today. In spite of many applications and projects in the area of ubiquitous and pervasive computing the success is still far away. One of the main reasons is the lack of acceptance of and confidence in this technology. Although researchers and industry are working in all of these areas a forum to elaborate security, reliability and privacy issues, that resolve in trustworthy interfaces and computing environments for people interacting within these ubiquitous environments is important. The goal of TwUC 2006 workshop is to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers and industry to address recent research results and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical issues. TOPICS OF INTEREST The conference program will include invited talks, peer reviewed full papers around but not limited to the following topics: - Security in ubiquitous computing environments - security issues and technologies - usage policies - identity and access - threat and vulnerability - malicious software in ubiquitous environments - integrity - trusted computing - trusting platforms - Reliability in ubiquitous computing environments - software design - software quality and metrics - user perceived QoS - Methods and concepts to enhance and ensure availability - Privacy in ubiquitous computing environments - issues and appliances on privacy in ubiquitous computing environments - data and information ownership and souvereignity of social and technical methods for ensuring confidentiality - Usability in ubiquitous computing environments - Designing the user interface in ubiquitous environments - Designing Interaction for ubiquitous appliances - Usability Evaluation Methods in ubiquitous environments IMPORTANT DATES September 1, 2006 Paper submission October 1, 2006 Acceptance Notification October 15, 2006 Camera-Ready Papers December 4,2006 Workshop PUBLICATION All accepted conference papers will be published in the Austrian Computer Society book series. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in selected journals.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP for the Journal Special Issue on Testing and Quality Assurance for Component-Based Software Datum: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 15:27:14 -0700 (PDT) Von: jerry gao <gaojerryg(a)yahoo.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for possible duplicate postings. ****************************************************** International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering Special Issue on Testing and Quality Assurance for Component-Based Systems Call for Papers Widespread development and reuse of software components has been regarded by many as one of the next biggest phenomena for the software industry. Reusing high-quality software components in software construction has the potential of drastically improving the quality and development productivity of component-based software systems. However, widespread reuse of a software component with poor quality may literally lead to disasters. Component-based software engineering involves many unique characteristics, some of which have created new issues, challenges, and needs in testing and quality assurance of components and component-based software. Testing and quality assurance therefore plays a critical and pivotal role in the construction of software components and component-based software for different types of systems, including enterprise systems, web service technologies, online applications and e-commerce systems, and wireless-based solutions. Although many published research papers address the issues in component construction, design and analysis, reuse and evaluation in engineering component-based software systems, there is a lack of effective solutions and methods to support practitioners in the real world to solve the challenges and issues in testing and quality assurance of reusable software components and systems. This special issue is intended to provide a forum to present the recent research advances and state-of-the-art technologies and solutions on this subject. The topics for submissions include, but are not limited to: - Adequate test models, methods, and coverage criteria for reusable components, frameworks, and platforms - Innovative validation methods for reusable software components, such as COTS, safety and critical components, mobile and web service components - Design for testability of components and component-based systems, including built-in test or self-test techniques - Component integration issues, solutions, and strategies for component-based systems - Component re-testing techniques, models, and coverage criteria in reuse contexts - Regression testing issues, strategies, and techniques for component-based systems - Test automation issues, solutions, tools, frameworks for components and component-based systems - Testability analysis, verification and measurement for component-based software and its parts - Reliability models, measurement metrics, and evaluation for software components - Performance evaluation models, measurement metrics, and tools for component-based software and its parts - Component quality certification processes, methods, and standards - Component and component-based system configuration management and maintenance - Quality assurance issues, challenges, processes, and methods - Quality evaluation models, measurement metrics, and quality control systems - Verification methods, processes, tools and standards - Validation methods, technologies, and tools - Testing issues, challenges, needs, solutions, and tools for mobile components in web services and wireless applications - Industrial and academic case studies and experience reports on testing and quality assurance for reusable components and component-based systems Guest Editors Jerry Gao San Jose State University, USA Email: jerrygao(a)email.sjsu.edu Sami Beydeda ZIVIT (Bonn, Germany) sb(a)stecc.de Important Dates Paper Abstract Due: Oct. 16, 2006 Full Paper Due: October 31, 2006 Notice of Acceptance: December 25, 2006 Camera Ready Paper Due: January 31, 2007 Expected Publication Date: June, 2007 Paper Submission Papers should be prepared following the guidelines posted at the IJSEKE web site (http://www.worldscinet.com/ijseke/mkt/guidelines.shtml).
