The conference will draw researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines ranging from artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences to pedagogy and educational psychology. The conference explores the real world impact of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) on an increasingly global scale. Improved authoring tools and learning object standards enable fielding systems and curricula in real world settings on an unprecedented scale. Researchers deploy ITSs in ever larger studies, and increasingly use data from real students, tasks, and settings to guide new research. With high volumes of student interaction data, data mining and machine learning, tutoring systems can learn from experience and improve their teaching performance. Increasing number of realistic evaluation studies also broaden researchers' knowledge about the educational contexts for which ITSs are best suited. At the same time, researchers explore how to expand and improve student-tutor communication, for example, how to achieve more flexible and responsive discourse with students, help students integrate Web resources into learning, use mobile technologies and games to enhance student motivation and learning, and address multicultural perspectives. ITS'2008 will be supported by a strong international program committee that will ensure full and effective refereeing of all submitted papers. ********** Topics of ************ Original papers related to the design, implementation and evaluation of intelligent tutoring systems are solicited.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] ATC-08 CFP Datum: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 11:36:35 +0800 Von: Jianying Zhou <jyzhou(a)i2r.a-star.edu.sg> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ###################### The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality - http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/ Organized by University of Stavanger and Oslo University College, Norway Technical Sponsorship by the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008 ################################################################### Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc. A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong). Topics include but are not limited to the following: - AC/OC Theory and Models Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. - AC/OC Architectures and Systems Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. - AC/OC Components and Modules Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. - AC/OC Communication and Services Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. - AC/OC Tools and Interfaces Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. - Trust Models and Specifications Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. - Trust-related Security and Privacy Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. - Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. - Trustworthy Services and Applications Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc. - Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. == IMPORTANT DATES == Submission Deadline: January 05, 2008 Authors Notification: March 05, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008 == ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION == Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style maximum 15 pages in PDF file.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 2nd CFP: European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2008) Datum: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:46:23 +0900 Von: Sean Bechhofer <sean.bechhofer(a)manchester.ac.uk> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [Apologies for cross and multiple postings. Please circulate to colleagues and prospective interested parties.] -- SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS -- ======================================================================= 5th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2008) Tenerife, Spain, June 1-5 2008. ======================================================================== The vision of the Semantic Web is to enhance today's Web by exploiting machine-processable metadata. The explicit representation of the semantics of data, enriched with domain theories (ontologies), will enable a web that provides a qualitatively new level of service. It will weave together a large network of human knowledge and makes this knowledge machine-processable. Various automated services will help the users to achieve their goals by accessing and processing information in machine-understandable form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly intelligent systems, which will be employed for various complex decision-making tasks. Semantic Web research can benefit from ideas and cross-fertilization with many other areas: Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Databases and Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Multimedia, Distributed Systems, Social Networks and Web Engineering. Many advances within these areas can contribute towards the realization of the Semantic Web. The 5th Annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2008) will present the latest results in research and applications of Semantic Web technologies. ESWC 2008 will also feature a tutorial program, system descriptions and demos, a posters track, a Ph.D. symposium and a number of collocated workshops. The calls for these events are separate and can be found on the conference Web site [http://www.eswc2008.org]. ESWC 2008 is sponsored by STI2, Semantic Technology Institutes International. For more information on STI2, please visit [http://www.sti2.org]. ======================================================================== Submissions ESWC 2008 welcomes the submission of original research and application papers dealing with all aspects of the Semantic Web. We particularly encourage the submission of papers on industrial efforts and experiences with Semantic Web projects. We encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and applications papers. The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and reviewing for ESWC 2008 will be electronic via the conference submissions site: [http://www.eswc2008.org/submissions.html]. Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format and will *not* be accepted in any other format. Papers that exceed 15 pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines risk being rejected automatically without a review. Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission -- details of this process will be provided on the conference Web page at the time of acceptance. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference. ======================================================================== Best Paper Award An award will be given to the best paper (or papers) submitted to the conference as judged by the Program Chairs in collaboration with the Program Committee. ======================================================================== Important Dates Authors must submit an initial abstract. Full papers can then be submitted up to the full paper submission date. Abstract Submission: December 7, 2007 Full Paper Submission: December 14, 2007 Notification: February 29, 2008 Camera Ready: March 14, 2008 Conference: June 1-5, 2008 ======================================================================== Topics of Interest Topics of interest to ESWC 2008 include, but are not limited to: * Ontology Management (creation, evolution, evaluation, etc.) * Ontology Alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and reconciliation) * Ontology Learning and Metadata Generation (e.g., HLT and ML approaches) * Multimedia and Semantic Web * Semantic Annotation of Data * Semantic Web Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights * Query Languages and Optimization for the Semantic Web * Rule Languages for the Semantic Web * Database Technologies for the Semantic Web * Data Semantics and Web Semantics * Semantic Interoperability * Logics for the Semantic Web * Semantic Web Mining * Reasoning on the Semantic Web * Behavior in the Semantic Web * Searching, Querying, Visualizing, Navigating and Browsing the Semantic Web * Personalization and User Modelling * User Interfaces and Semantic Web * Semantics in P2P Computing and the Grid * Semantic Web Services (description, discovery, invocation, composition, choreography, etc.) * Semantics in Middleware * Semantic Web-based Knowledge Management (e.g. Semantic Desktop, Knowledge Portals) * Semantic Web for e-Business, e-Science, e-Health, e-Culture, e-Government, e-Learning and other application domains * Evaluation of Semantic Web Technologies * Social networks and processes on the Semantic Web * Semantic web technology for collaboration and cooperation We particularly welcome application papers which clearly show benefits of Semantic Web technologies in practical settings. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
