Workshop on Educational Data Mining (EDM@ICALT'07) Datum: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 20:22:20 +0200 (EET) Von: Mykola Pechenizkiy <mpechen(a)cs.jyu.fi> Antwort an: mpechen(a)cs.jyu.fi Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> **************************************************************** International Workshop on Educational Data Mining (EDM@ICALT'07) (http://www.win.tue.nl/~mpechen/conf/edm2007/) as part of the 7th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (IEEE ICALT 2007) (http://www.ask.iti.gr/icalt/2007/) Niigata, Japan, July 18-20, 2007 **************************************************************** *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Recently, the increase in dissemination of interactive learning environments has allowed the collection of huge amounts of data. An effective way of discovering new knowledge from large and complex data sets is data mining. As such, the EDM workshop invites papers that study how to apply data mining to analyze data generated by learning systems or experiments, as well as how discovered information can be used to improve adaptation and personalization. Interesting problems data mining can help to solve are: determining what are common types of learning behavior (e.g. in online systems), predicting the knowledge and interests of a user based on past behavior, partitioning a heterogeneous group of users into homogeneous clusters, etc. Typically, educational data sources are quite heterogeneous (e.g., web log files, interaction logs, source code, text and dialogue data, etc.), and have a variety of different scales, grain-sizes, and spatial and temporal resolution. Though the many types of educational data often differ considerably from one another, they provide multiple types of insight on a single domain or context and, above all, share the potential to reveal unexpected and useful knowledge concerning learners and/or the process of learning - if correctly and coherently analyzed. Applying methods to mine the complex data that we can collect on educational situations requires the development of new approaches that build upon techniques from a combination of areas, including statistics, psychometrics, machine learning, and scientific computing. The EDM workshop at ICALT'07 aims at providing a focused international forum for researchers to present, discuss and explore the state of the art of mining educational data and evaluating usefulness of discovered patterns for adaptation and personalization, as well as to outline promising future research directions. The EDM workshop invites submissions addressing all aspects of educational data mining with applications for adaptation and personalization in e-learning systems. The topics of special interest include, but are not restricted to: * Methods and approached for EDM * Characteristics of educational data and how to deal with them * Learning browsing behavior; e.g., searching for patterns in log-data * Data mining for predicting user (potentially changing) interests * Mining differences in user's learning behavior * Mining data from A/B tests * Application of discovered patterns for personalization and adaptation * Description of applications * Case studies and experiences The workshop invites papers reporting experiences, case studies, surveys, reflections and comparisons. The submission format is: either a full paper of up to 10 pages, a short paper of up to 5 pages, or an abstract of up to 3 pages for a poster. * IMPORTANT DATES * February 28, 2007 Submission of paper (IEEE 2-column, 10-pages maximum) March 16, 2007 Notification of acceptance April 6, 2007 Final camera-ready paper due April 16, 2007 Author registration deadline July 18-20, 2007 ICALT Conference * SUBMISSION PROCEDURES * Please submit your contribution (up to 10 pages) before the submission deadline (Feb 28, 2007) to the EDM workshop chairs by e-mail: edm.icalt07(a)gmail.com. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the workshop programme committee members. All accepted workshop papers will be published in the online workshop proceedings edited by the general workshop chairs. Beside this a short version of each accepted paper (2 pages long, IEEE 2-column format) will be published in the main IEEE proceedings. * TRACK CHAIRS * Joseph E.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: Visual Languages and Computing '2007 Datum: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 14:08:37 -0600 (CST) Von: Kang Zhang <kzhang(a)utdallas.edu> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ________________________________________ | | | VLC'2007 - International Workshop on | | Visual Languages and Computing | |______________________________________| Hotel Sofitel, San Francisco Bay 6-8 September 2007 Organized by Knowledge Systems Institute Digital Arts and Sciences Lab, UF Visual Computing Lab, UT-Dallas SCOPE AND TOPICS ================ Visual computing involves theory, methods and application of enhancing the visual space, along with human interaction, within the field of computing. One may visualize unstructured data, simple information structures, and more complicated structures such as automata, programs, and databases. Moreover, visual computing is a field that involves representation of artifacts and their behaviors or executions. Thus, it is possible to visualize heaps, their execution or entire programs in which the heap plays an algorithmic role. The ways in which the human interacts with the heap through pure visualization, touch, or sound becomes a relevant issue. The concept of transformation is integral to visual computing, where it is often convenient to transform one type of object into another sometimes for a specific group or individual. Aspects of visual computing are multi-facetted in goals that are to be achieved during information or language design. The following represents a short list of qualities that are of importance to the study within visual computing: efficiency, aesthetics, pleasure, emotion, engagement, immersion, collaboration, and culture. Aspects of art, engineering, and science play key roles where certain practitioners focus on design and engineering of visual interactions whereas others analyze and study these interactions (i.e., science). The International Workshop on Visual Languages and Computing will explore these issues, and will be held in conjunction with the 2007 International Conference of Distributed Multimedia Systems (http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms04.html) to be held in San Francisco Bay Area, USA. 6-8 September 2007. Papers on all aspects and approaches to visual languages and computing are solicited, including interactive visual computing, computer-empowered visual computing, human-empowered visual computing, transformation algorithms for visual computing, and visual languages for visual computing. The following topics are of special interest: o Visual Languages o Visual Programming o Visual and Spatial/Temporal Reasoning o Visual Computing for Expert Communities o Visual Computing on Sensed Data o Gestural Computing o Aesthetic Computing o Ambient Information Interaction o Visual Computing in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology o Fusion of Vision with Audio and Other Modalities o Human-Machine Interface Design o Human Vision Systems and Models o Visualization of Computational Processes o Large-Scale Scientific Visualization o Parallel/Distributed/Neural Computing and Representations for Visual Information o Pictorial Databases and Information Systems o Biomedical Imagery o Computer-Assisted Visual Art and Design PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Submissions that address research and development on the above and other related topics are strongly encouraged. All the submitted papers will be reviewed by the international Program Committee members. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of DMS2007. A selection of the best papers will be invited for subsequent publication in a special issue of the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing. Papers of up to six (6) IEEE double-column pages should be submitted electronically. Detailed information on electronic submission will be provided at the VLC.2007 web site: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/vlc07.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Contributions: Journal of Database Management (JDM) Datum: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 12:25:23 -0500 Von: Stephanie Chow <Stephanie.Chow(a)uoit.ca> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues and students. Thanks. CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Database Management (JDM) Special Issue on XML Data Services: Technology Evolution and Challenges ======================================================================== = http://redmaple.hrl.uoit.ca/~jdmseiw2007 The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used to represent fine-grained data that originates in repositories in machine readable format by providing structure and the possibility of adding type information, such as XML Schema. A Web service is a software system that supports interoperable application-to-application interaction over the Internet. Web services are based on a set of XML standards, such as Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI). Each service makes its functionality available through well-defined or standardized XML interfaces. The result of this approach is a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). XML is playing an important role in the data transport protocol for Web services. For example, SOAP messages are used both by service requestors to invoke Web services, and by Web services to answer requests. The interactions of SOAP messages between Web services form the theoretical model of SOAP Message Exchange Patterns (MEP). This workshop aims to explore and investigate various research issues of XML data that is encapsulated by Web services over the network. In particular, we call these networked services as XML data services. New challenges arise in the study of services engineering, an emerging research area devoted to the software engineering of service-oriented applications. Services engineering is an important area of the Services Computing Discipline, as promoted by the IEEE Computer Society, ACM, academia and industry. Its goal is to formulate effective solutions to the quality development, deployment and management of these applications. Topics of interest include, but are NOT limited to: * Services engineering in XML data services * Models and languages of XML data services * Design and implementation of XML data services * Interoperability and integration of XML data services * Requirements engineering for XML data services * Generation of XML data from Web services * Data modeling concepts for XML data in Web services * Ontology and semantic Web services * Security, privacy and trust with XML data services * Transaction management in XML data services * BPEL and Web service orchestration with XML data * XML-related languages like XML Schema, XPath, XQuery for Web services * Convergence of Web services and XML database technology (queries, views, updates, integration, etc.) * XML-based middleware for Web services * SOAP Message Exchange Patterns * UDDI, WSDL and SOAP enhancements * Case studies for XML data services * Quality of XML data services and deployment issues * Dependability of XML data services * Technical architecture and framework of XML data services * Design tools and methodologies for XML data services * Usage and usefulness analysis of XML data services The goal of this proposed special issue is to crystallize the emerging XML data technologies and trends into positive efforts to focus on the most promising solutions in e-business services computing. The papers will provide clear proof that XML data technologies are playing an ever increasing important and critical role in supporting business service processes. It is also expected that the papers will further research new best practices and directions in XML data services. Author Instructions Submissions to this special issue will be required to have some theoretical/experimental/empirical results. Authors should create an account and submit via our online submission system at http://redmaple.hrl.uoit.ca/~jdmseiw2007 (available soon). Papers must be submitted as either a Word file or PDF.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Grid 2007 Datum: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 13:02:29 +0100 Von: Christian Glasner <cglasner(a)gup.uni-linz.ac.at> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ******************* Call for Papers ******************* The 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid 2007, http://www.grid2007.org) Austin, Texas, USA, September 19-21, 2007 Grid computing is evolving from the sharing of powerful computers for widely distributed applications to service orientation, open standards integration, collaboration, and virtualization. The ongoing development of the Grid as a service-oriented architecture for transparent and reliable distributed computing allows the reuse of existing components and information resources, and the assembly of these components in a flexible self-organizing manner. Hiding the complexity and technical details of the Grid from end users and application developers is going to play a crucial role in the future, for which issues related to security, provenance, automatic recovery, machine-interpretable metadata, QoS and SLA negotiation, etc. will have to be carefully addressed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Tagung "Kontrolle durch Transparenz - Transparenz durch Kontrolle" des Fachbereichs "Informatik und Gesellschaft" Datum: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 15:28:57 +0100 (CET) Von: gi-mitglieder-info(a)gi-ev.de An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Kontrolle durch Transparenz Transparenz durch Kontrolle Tagung des Fachbereichs Informatik und Gesellschaft der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI) Berlin-Adlershof 27. bis 29. April 2007 Demokratie und Onlinewahlen :: Wissenschaftliches Publizieren :: Nationale IT-Strategien :: Von der Payback zur Job-Card :: Digitale Medien :: Informatik und Ethik :: Wissenschaft oder Design :: Beruf: Informatikerin http://www.gi-ev.de/transparenz In bislang unbekanntem Ausmaß werden Nutzerinnen und Nutzer der weltweiten Datennetze für Dritte transparent. Sie hinterlassen Datenspuren, wenn sie die Web-Services der Anbieter von Dienstleistungen und Waren, von öffentlichen Stellen und Behörden wahrnehmen und sich unbeschwert im Internet bewegen wollen. Es lässt sich sehr viel herausbekommen über die Netznutzer. Dritte gewinnen Kontrolle durch die informatische Transparenz der Transaktionen. Privatheit und das Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung spielen so gut wie keine Rolle mehr, auch nicht in den Köpfen der Betroffenen. In acht Workshops sollen die aktuellen Umbrüche der Informationsgesellschaft aufgearbeitet werden: Demokratie und Onlinewahlen, Wissenschaftliches Publizieren, Nationale IT-Strategien von Schwellenländern, die Job- Card, Digitale Medien, Informatik und Ethik, die Wissenschaft Informatik und die Situation von Informatikerinnen bilden die Schwerpunkte der Tagung. Dabei ist nicht nur diskussionswürdig, was sich in Büchern und Papers finden lässt. Deshalb möchten wir die traditionelle Form des Wissenschaftsbetriebs, die nur in Papers auf Papers reagiert, aufbrechen: wir erhoffen von Ihnen als Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern an dieser Tagung, dass Sie Ihre Materialsammlungen oder Analysen zu den behandelten Themen einreichen und der Diskussion zugänglich machen; wir machen dies jedoch nicht zur Bedingung der Teilnahme. Wir wünschen Beiträge, die im weitesten Sinne Materialien zu einem der Workshop-Themen beitragen und in die Diskussion einbringen und damit auf die die Workshops einleitenden Referate reagieren. Bestätigung und Widerspruch, ergänzende konkrete Fragestellungen, Fallstudien und Analysen, Links, Literaturhinweise und Fakten aller Art sind als Beiträge der Diskutantinnen und Diskutanten in den Workshops willkommen. Bitte reagieren Sie dazu auf die Fragestellungen und Statements, die in den Workshop-Beschreibungen auf der Tagungs-Webseite genauer ausformuliert sind. In Form eines Wikis stehen Ihre Materialien dann schon vor der Tagung im Netz und können von allen Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern zur Kenntnis genommen und in die Diskussion eingebracht werden. Bei Anmeldung zur Tagung erhalten Sie Schreibrechte auf dem Wiki. Eine Veröffentlichung der Beiträge ist vorgesehen. ab 1. Januar 2007: Anmeldung zur Tagung zum Frühbucher-Rabatt, Veröffentlichung der Richtlinien zum Wiki-Eintrag im Wiki selbst. bis zum 9. März 2007: Einstellen Ihrer Workshop-Beiträge in das Wiki gemäß der dort veröffentlichten Richtlinien, Ende des Frühbucher-Rabatts http://www.uni-lueneburg.de/transparenz/wiki Programm Freitag, 27. April 2007 13.30: Eröffnung Begrüßung durch die Leitung der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Eröffnung durch den Sprecher des Fachbereichs Informatik und Gesellschaft der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI) Martin Warnke Auftakt-Referat durch Frau Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, Bundesministerin der Justiz a. D. und stellvertretende Vorsitzende der FDP-Bundestagsfraktion 15.00 - 18.30: Workshop 1 »Demokratie und Onlinewahlen« Seit 1999 können elektronische Wahlgeräte bei Wahlen zum Bundestag oder dem Europaparlament eingesetzt werden. Schon ebenso lang wird über Onlinewahlen diskutiert. Befürworter setzen auf höhere Wahlbeteiligung, Skeptiker befürchten Sicherheitsprobleme und demokratische Entfremdung. Impulsreferate von Rüdiger Grimm (Koblenz) zum Nutzen von elektronischen Wahlgeräten und von Klaus Brunnstein (IFIP-Präsident) zum Vertrauensverlust durch Online wahlen. Als Ergebnis zielen wir auf einen breiten, transdisziplinären Forderungskatalog an die Gestaltung von Onlinewahlen. verantwortlich: Peter Mambrey <peter.mambrey(a)fit.fraunhofer.de> 15.00 - 18.30: Workshop 2 »Wissenschaftliches Publizieren: Urheberrecht, Patentrecht, Creative Commons und Open Access« Die Veröffentlichungspraxis wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse wird durch Verschärfung des Urheberrechts und eine bedeutender werdende Open-Access- Bewegung polarisiert. Es stehen sich ökonomische Verwertungsinteressen und die Verpflichtung der Wissenschaft auf das Gemeinwohl gegenüber. Impulsreferate von Peter Schirmbacher (HU Berlin) und Michael Seadle (Michigan State University). Die Gruppe des Computer- und Medien-Service der Humboldt-Universität Berlin gibt Anregungen zur Überwindung dieses Konfliktes. Wiki-Beiträge, die Klärendes beitragen können, sind erwünscht. verantwortlich: Wolfgang Coy <wolfgang.coy(a)hu-berlin.de> 19.00: Die Hörspielwerkstatt der Humboldt Universität lädt zum Live- Hörspiel. Anschließend: Empfang Samstag, 28. April 2007 10.00 - 13.30: Workshop 3 »Nationale IT-Strategien im globalen Zusammenhang« Die neuen Informationstechnologien (IT) bieten unbestreitbar neue Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten. Ob dadurch die Zivilgesellschaft in Entwicklungsländern profitieren kann, hängt nicht zuletzt von der Art und Weise ab, wie diese Technologien eingesetzt werden. Zentrale Fragen betreffen eine entsprechende IT-Infrastruktur, IT-Ausbildung, IT-Management und IT-Sicherheit. Mit eingeladenen internationalen Gästen werden am Beispiel Afghanistans, Kameruns und Kubas über die IT-Trends diskutiert und im Anschluss nationale IT-Strategien für Entwicklungsländer vorgeschlagen. verantwortlich: Nazir Peroz <nazir(a)cs.tu-berlin.de> 10.00 - 13.30: Workshop 4 »Von der Payback- zur Job-Card« – Datenschutz, ein Auslaufmodell?« Nachdem die Payback-Card die Akzeptanz zur Speicherung von Kundendaten gefördert hat, bringt die JobCard eine Vielzahl neuer maschinenlesbarer personenbezogener Daten. Impulsreferate: „Der ‚Elektronische Einkommensnachweis‘ (JobCard) – Ansätze zur Anwendung neuer Technologien im Verhältnis Bürger und Staat“: Jochen Puth- Weissenfels, Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie, „Gesicherter Zugriff auf schützenswerte Daten durch den Einsatz vor Signaturkarten am Beispiel des Projektes JobCard“: Harald Flex, ITSG und „Identitätskarten und Datenschutz – Ein Widerspruch?“: Thilo Weichert, Unabhängiges Landeszentrum für Datenschutz Schleswig-Holstein verantwortlich: Frank Pallas <pallas(a)cs.tu-berlin.de> 15.00 - 18.30: Workshop 5 »Digitale Medien zwischen Zentralisierung und Dezentralisierung« Digitale Medien und verlustfreie Digitalkopien sind zentrale ökonomische und kulturelle Herausforderungen der Informationsgesellschaft. Während die Wirtschaft technische Kontrolle über Inhalte fordert, ist die Öffentlichkeit am ungehinderten Zugang zu Kulturgütern interessiert. Im Workshop werden Möglichkeiten des Umgangs mit digitalen Medien diskutiert – im Spannungsfeld zwischen ökonomischer Verwertung und freier Nutzung. Impulsreferate von Martin Strathemann über „Apples iTunes und DRM“ und Moritz „Mo“ Sauer über „Freie Inhalte, freie Kultur“. verantwortlich: Jochen Koubek <jochen.koubek(a)rz.hu-berlin.de> 15.00 - 18.30: Workshop 6 »Informatik und Ethik: Fallbeispiele« Die FG Informatik & Ethik ist dabei, Fallbeispiele für die Anwendung der Ethischen Leitlinien der GI zu erstellen. Impulsreferat von Christina Class (HTA Luzern) über den Einsatz von Fallbeispielen im Unterricht. Mit den Anwesenden werden in Kleingruppen die Fallbeispiele diskutiert. Einige sind bereits erstellt zu Themen wie: Plagiat, Biometrie, Medizinische Datensammlungen, Geschäfte mit Minderjährigen, Hacking. Wir rufen ausdrücklich dazu auf, weitere Fallbeispiele einzureichen! verantwortlich: Debora Weber-Wulff <d.weber-wulff(a)fhtw-berlin.de> 19:00: Kalt-warmes italienisches Büfett (Rahmenprogramm) Sonntag, 29. April 2007 10.00 - 13.30: Workshop 7 »Wissenschaft oder Design« Die Frage, ob die Informatik eine Wissenschaft („Computer Science“) ist oder ob ihr disziplinärer Schwerpunkt in einer Kunstfertigkeit der Gestaltung („Art of Computer Programming“) bestehen sollte, ist nach wie vor aktuell. Ihre Beantwortung hat massive Auswirkungen auf die Ausrichtung der universitären Ausbildung, insbesondere auf den Stellenwert der „weichen“, schlecht formalisierbaren Fachgebiete, und damit auch auf die disziplinäre Integration von „Informatik und Gesellschaft“. Impulsreferate von Heinrich C. Mayr (Klagenfurt) und Peter Purgathofer (Wien) verantwortlich: Jörg Pflüger <jpflueger(a)igw.tuwien.ac.at> 10.00 - 13.30: Workshop 8 »Beruf Informatikerin: Chance oder Risiko« Für Informatikerinnen gibt es mehr berufliche Barrieren als für männliche Kollegen. Als Gründe gelten sowohl individuelle (z. B. Defizite von Frauen wie mangelndes Durchsetzungsvermögen) als auch strukturelle Faktoren (z. B. eine Arbeitskultur, dem Berufsleben alles andere unterzuordnen). Im Workshop sollen konkrete Bedingungen für Chancengleichheit in Informatik- Bereichen identifiziert und erfolgversprechende Wege zu ihrer Realisierung gefunden werden. Für das Wiki bitten wir um Beispiele zu Berufsstrategien von Informatikerinnen und Arbeitskulturen in Informatikberufsfeldern. Impulsreferate: Sissi Closs (Karlsruhe) und Yvonne Haffner (Darmstadt) verantwortlich: Ute Waag <post(a)uwg-gi2005.de> 14.00 - 15:00: Abschluss Abschluss-Referat durch Klaus Brunnstein, Präsident der International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) und langjähriger Verantwortlicher für den Fachbereich Informatik und Gesellschaft der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.
