-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] AI*IA 2007: Special Track Call for Paper Datum: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 11:22:17 +0100 Von: Roberto Basili <basili(a)info.uniroma2.it> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> (Please apologize multiple postings) ***************************** "AI*IA07" Special Track Call for Paper ***************************** Artificial Intelligence and Human-oriented Computing 10th Congress of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence September 10-13, 2007 - University of Roma Tor Vergata (Italy) Web: http://aiia.info.uniroma2.it/ * * * Submission deadline: April 25, 2007 * * * This year bi-annual Congress of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence will include three Special Tracks about the following specific topics: · AI and Robotics · AI for Intelligent Access to Multimedia Data · AI for Expressive Media AI*IA invites the submission of papers to the Special Tracks. Each special track will span one full day of the Congress, running in parallel with the other AI*IA 07 program sections. The Special Track programs will include presentation of technical papers and an invited talk. All Special Tracks have separated Web portals for the electronic submissions of technical papers although they share the same deadlines (see "Intruction for Authors" below). All accepted papers will be published in the AI*IA 2007 Congress proceedings on the Springer-Verlag LNAI series (previous volumes, AI*IA 2005, AI*IA 2003). All information about AI*IA07 Special Tracks are published at: http://aiia.info.uniroma2.it/specialprogram.html ******************************************* AI*IA-07 Special Track on "AI and Robotics" ******************************************* Description The acceptance and success of robotics in real environments is still substantially depending on the ability of robots to effectively act, possibly in cooperation with other robots or devices, in unknown and dynamic environments as well as to naturally interact with humans. The goal of the special track on "AI and Robotics" is to provide a forum for discussion of the research approaches that face some of the scientific challenges raised by the attempt to build robotic systems, regarded as intelligent agents: companions, assistants, teammates. In particular, we welcome contributions that exploit AI techniques and approaches to the design of intelligent robotic agents. The European Robotic Platform, in addition to industry, indicates two major commercial targets for robotics, service and security/space. Consequently, we encourage presentation of research work specifically in these application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cognitive Robotics - Robotic Perception - Robotic Learning - Human Robot Interaction - Emotional Robotics - Humanoid Robots - Bioinspired Robotics - Service Robotics - Space Robotics - Security Robotics Program Committee Andrea Bonarini, Politecnico Milano (Italy) Antonio Chella, Università di Palermo (Italy) Daniele Nardi, Università "La Sapienza" Roma (Italy) (chair) Stefano Nolfi, ICST-CNR, Roma (Italy) Enrico Pagello, Università di Padova (Italy) Fiora Pirri, Università "La Sapienza" Roma (Italy) Alessandro Saffiotti, Orebro University, Sweden Bruno Siciliano, Università "Federico II", Napoli (Italy) ************************************************************************ AI*IA-07 Special Track on "AI for Intelligent Access to Multimedia Data" ************************************************************************ Description The full exploitation of multimedia archives is only viable through technologies that allow filling the so-called Semantic Gap between low-level multimedia descriptors and the semantics of human interpretation. Although technologies for indexing of AV material are now available, locating the suitable information given the scale and the heterogeneity of the current and growing archives is still an open problem. As the tradition and trends in information retrieval and Web search suggests, information integration at a conceptual level and automatic knowledge discovery and acquisition are required. The role of AI is here twofold. On one side knowledge representation technologies are requested to support the managemenet of the overall complexity according to current standard formalisms and best practices applied in the Semantic Web. On the other hand, the typical redundancy in multimedia data opens the way to intelligent inductive technologies. Data mining and machine learning methods can be successfully applied to enrich data descriptions, increase their abstraction leveland scale up to the suitable dimensions. Mining the huge information and knowledge embodied by the audiovisual archives represents an important step forward. In this special track, researchers and practitioners from academic and industrial institutions are expected to present their work in the area of multimedia content processing and artificial intelligence. Recent theoretical and applicative results about representation, indexing, acquisition and delivery of multimedia semantics in real scenarios will be presented and discussed. The outcome will represent a possibly heterogenous but wide picture of the area that surveys current results and stimulates cross-fertilization among independent research fields.

The goal of the Special Track on "AI and Expressive Media" is to provide a definition of the Expressive Media in extensional terms (through reworked examples of applications), to improve the general awareness of the AI techniques that are mostly employed (together with revealing new interesting problems to be modeled), to stimulate the sharing of AI approaches among researchers in different communication forms. Researchers, developers and practitioners working in artificial intelligence, human sciences, media studies, music, art and design, and other related areas, are invited to submit their works. Particular attention to cross-fertilization is solicited; each paper will also be reviewed by one non-expert of some particular communication form in order to improve the circulation of ideas. The program will include presentation of the selected papers and posters, one invited talk and a final panel, and will occupy one full day of the Congress in parallel with the other Special Tracks.

[Fwd: [computational.science] 2nd CfP IEEE WETICE CoMA]
by Gustaf Neumann 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 2nd CfP IEEE WETICE CoMA Datum: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:41:16 +0100 Von: Manfred Bortenschlager <manfred.bortenschlager(a)salzburgresearch.at> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ======================================================================== C A L L F O R P A P E R S ======================================================================== (! Three weeks until paper submission deadline !) International IEEE Workshop on Interdisciplinary Aspects of Coordination Applied to Pervasive Environments: Models and Applications (CoMA) Web: http://mowi.salzburgresearch.at/wetice At the 16th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE) Web: http://www.wetice.org June 18-20, 2007 Institut National des Telecommunications INT, Paris, France ======================================================================== WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES ==================================== Coordination is significantly responsible for the effectiveness, performance and quality of complex systems and as a concept it is not restricted to computer-based systems. The concept is cross-sectional and a great impact may be reached in different application areas if effective methods and models can be designed, implemented, validated, and deployed. Coordination, moreover, is an essential prerequisite for collaborative and telecooperative applications, which are of prime interest to the WETICE series. The CoMA workshop aims at the interdisciplinary aspects of coordination in general, and examines their application to ubiquitous and pervasive environments in particular. The overall goal is to support the users' collaborative intentions in such environments as effectively, imperceptibly, and unobtrusively as possible. The goal of this workshop is to bring together on the one hand, scientists who are either conducting research directly on pervasive computing systems, coordination science, or indirectly in related fields such as artificial intelligence, collaborative systems, CSCW, systems research, complexity management, or process management. On the other hand, this workshop particularly welcomes the contributions of researchers and/or practitioners who concentrate on concrete applications where a combination of coordination and pervasive systems appears to be beneficial, such as emergency management or health care systems, and can report on that. The workshop particularly focuses on discussions about coordination and pervasiveness, the current state of research efforts, and practical experiences with the clear vision of generating mutual benefits for the participants. To support this, opportunities for showcases, demonstrations, and in-depth discussions will be provided. Eventually, interdisciplinary and joint efforts shall be fostered and future co-operations on research activities shall be triggered. TOPICS AND APPLICATIONS ======================= All topics related to the interdisciplinary aspects of coordination are welcome as soon as these are in some way relevant for or applicable to ubiquitous and pervasive systems. The following incomprehensive listing gives examples of such potential topics: * Theoretical coordination models and foundations for pervasive systems * Coordination middleware (such as space- or event-based approaches) * Coordination mechanisms in service-oriented architectures * Distributed and P2P-based coordination * Coordination in embedded and real-time systems * Coordination issues in sensor networks * Coordination dependent on context * Strategies to cope with heterogeneity, dynamics, mobility and/or pervasiveness * Distributed constraint satisfaction * Location-based coordination models * Coordination in multi-agent systems * Improved intuitive usage through integrated coordination * Case studies, evaluations and assessments about the benefits of coordination * Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination Coordination and contained topics are multidisciplinary and, hence, can be viewed as orthogonal to a multitude of pervasive application areas which shall be explored in this workshop, too. Examples include but are not limited to: # Coordinative aspects in collaborative applications like CSCW, groupware, or games # Emergency management systems # Health care systems # Decision-support systems # Geo-Collaboration # Operations research # Complexity-, constraint-, conflict-, and workflow management # Special-purpose coordination languages and tools IMPORTANT DATES =============== Full paper submission: February 15, 2007 Authors Notification: April 13, 2007 Camera-ready versions: May 12, 2007 WETICE advanced registration with discount: June 1, 2007 WETICE workshops and on-site registration: June 18-20, 2007 SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS ========================== See workshop website: http://mowi.salzburgresearch.at/wetice CO-CHAIRS ========= Manfred Bortenschlager Mobile and Web-based Information Systems Group Salzburg Research Email: manfred.bortenschlager(a)salzburgresearch.at Web: http://www.salzburgresearch.at Gabriele Kotsis Department of Telecooperation Johannes Kepler University Linz Email: Gabriele.Kotsis(a)jku.ac.at Web: http://www.tk.uni-linz.ac.at Marco Mamei Agents and Pervasive Computing Group University of Modena and Reggio Emilia Email: mamei.marco(a)unimore.it Web: http://www.agentgroup.unimo.it PROGRAM COMMITTEE ================= Michele Bezzi (Accenture Technology Labs, France) Giacomo Cabri (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy) Paolo Ciancarini (University of Bologna, Italy) Schahram Dustdar (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) Marcel Graf (IBM Research Zurich, Switzerland) Massimiliano de Leoni (University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy) Massimo Mecella (University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy) Francesco de Mola (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy) Richard Mordinyi (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) John Nealon (Oxford Brookes University, UK) Wee Keong Ng (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) Andrea Omicini (University of Bologna, Italy) Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy) Karl Rehrl (Salzburg Research, Austria) Sigi Reich (Salzburg Research, Austria) David De Roure (University of Southampton, UK) Robert Tolksdorf (Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany) Simon Vogl (Research Studios Austria, Austria) Eiko Yoneki (University of Cambridge, UK) CONTACT ======= Web: http://mowi.salzburgresearch.at/wetice Email: manfred.bortenschlager(a)salzburgresearch.at Phone: +43 662 2288 308 Fax: +43 662 2288 222 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

This year's feature: Visualization of Non-Trivial Data Structures With the advancement of numerical simulations beyond uniform grids, visualization methods are also challenged to cope with the more complex data structures. We intend to discuss which data structures are out there (e.g., amr, multiblock, multipatches), what visualization methods already exist, and what the highest demands and needs for yet unsolved issues are. Focus is intended to be on topological issues of complex data sets, leading to possible overlap among feature extraction, numerical algorithms and access methods to topologically non-trivial data itself. This workshop is inter-disciplinary by nature, and as every year we also encourage contributions that are outside the focus topic. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Visualization concepts for non-trivial spacetimes * Generic data structures for visualization purposes * Applicability of GPU's, emerging hardware like cell processors or physics cards * Application areas, in particular interdisciplinary work with domain experts * Numerical models on adaptive meshes or multiblocks and resulting specific demands for visualization * Existing visualization frameworks (e.g., VTK, Amira, Chombovis) and their support for such data * Extending commonly used visualization techniques such as isosurfaces and raycasting to cover complex data structures * Demands and constraints on parallel rendering strategies and grid-based environments from non-regular domain decomposition, including (but not limited to) workflow managements, brokering, performance-modeling etc. * Utilizing modern rendering, display and interaction device, e.g. high-resolution, high-dynamic range, multitiled screens, for examining complex data structures * Grid technologies and parallelization techniques ** IMPORTANT DATES ** Abstracts due March 29 Full paper due April 16 Notification of acceptance April 30 Camera-ready version due May 7 Workshop June 16th - 22nd 2007 ** SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS ** Accepted papers will be appear in an A5 booklet published by LOB (Lehmanns Online Bookshop - www.lob.de), who will also take care of online distribution and on-demand printing of future issues.

[Fwd: [computational.science] Call for Paper: PAIS 2007 - International Workshop on Process Aware Information Systems]
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Paper: PAIS 2007 - International Workshop on Process Aware Information Systems Datum: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 13:31:12 -0700 Von: Ra, Ilkyeun <ilkyeun.ra(a)cudenver.edu> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> The First International Workshop on Process-Aware Information Systems: http://ctrl.kyonggi.ac.kr/~pais2007 Call For Paper In recent, the concept of process is becoming one of the hottest issues in the web-age enterprise information technology arena; consequently process-aware information systems (PAIS) have been rapidly spreading their applications over the various industry domains. These phenomena come from the strong belief that the process aware information systems help out for large organizations to improve the way of their business operations and managements; besides their effectiveness has come under our observation in numerous deployments. Nevertheless, many of the PAIS products have been experienced being ineffective in some serious applications due to the lack of necessity in functional capability, architectural extensibility and agility for the new requirements coping with many advanced features and functionalities. Therefore, through this workshop, we will explore the process-aware information systems domain and look for feasible solutions for giving feedbacks to those PAIS products suffering from the serious functional and architectural problems. Topics Here, we would define the process-aware information systems as follows: Process Aware Information Systems facilitate the design, execution, and coordination of structured work processes by groups of people. So, PAIS systems include workflow systems, business process management systems, software engineering systems, web services systems, and B2B network systems.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers: SIGKDD Explorations Special Issue on Data Mining for Health Informatics Datum: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 09:37:54 -0800 Von: Jian Pei <jpei(a)cs.sfu.ca> Antwort an: Dr.Jian.Pei(a)gmail.com Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Referenzen: <5856a6a30701090918j52557554i9af325cc16cc4ee4(a)mail.gmail.com> Call for Papers SIGKDD Explorations Special Issue on Data Mining for Health Informatics Guest editors Raymond Ng, University of British Columbia, rng(a)cs.ubc.ca Jian Pei, Simon Fraser University, jpei(a)cs.sfu.ca Unlike in bioinformatics where the focus is on the biology within a cell in living organisms, the focus of health informatics is on human tissues, organs and specific medical conditions. It is concerned with patients' medical records and clinical data. Moreoever, one of the key directions of medical research for the next decade is personalized medicine. This is partly made feasible by recent advances of high throughput biotechnologies, such as comparative genome hybridization arrays, microarrays and mass spectrometry for proteomics and metabolomics. In this special issue of SIGKDD Explorations, we solicit papers on health informatics research which requires mining of large amounts of data - clinical, DNA copy number, gene expression, protein expression and/or metabolonomics data. The following is a non-exhaustive list of possible topics: - feature selection for biomarker identification - cross-platform combinatorial mining of genomics features - mining transcription factor binding sites - prediction models of tumor/disease development - correlation mining of clinic data and genomic data - mining proteomics and/or metabolomics data - data mining for personalized medicine - modeling signalling networks - temporal and spatial mining of clinic data including medical images Each paper must dedicate a significant portion of the paper (e.g., no less than 25%) describing the health problem being studied. And in light of the 2003 SIGKDD Explorations special issue on microarray data mining, papers which focus solely on microarray data should include new developments since 2003. Schedule - Deadline for submissions: March 30 - Notifications: April 30 - Camera-ready due: May 15 - Final issue handed to the editors: June 1 Submissions All submissions should be made in PDF file following the SIGKDD Explorations format as shown in the templates and samples on the SIGKDD Explorations Web site. Submissions should be made via email to the co-guest editors: Dr. Raymond Ng (rng(a)cs.ubc.ca) and Dr. Jian Pei (jpei(a)cs.sfu.ca). Potential contributors are welcome to discuss their intentions and interest with the co-guest editors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
