-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers: IJAACS Datum: Sun, 4 Nov 2007 17:20:25 +0200 Von: Thanos Vasilakos <vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS) ISSN (Online): 1754-8640 - ISSN (Print): 1754-8632 Published in 4 issues per year (View Subscription Price):March,June,Sept.,Dec. (Inaugural issue: March 2008). Editor in Chief Prof. Athanasios Vasilakos University of Western Macedonia Department of Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering GR 50100 Kozani GREECE vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr IJAACS is a top venue for high quality research that advances state-of-the-art contributions addressing foundational, engineering and technological aspects of communications systems exhibiting emergent and adaptive behaviour. IJAACS encourages contributions aimed at supporting the understanding, development, and control of such communication systems based on sound theoretical models, including but not limited to bio-inspired, natural computing, game theory and economic models. IJAACS spans complexity, self-adaptation, autonomic communication, ambient intelligence, and multi-agent systems. Many current communication systems and infrastructures, such as the World Wide Web, Peer-2-Peer systems and ad hoc wireless and sensor networks, have the characteristic of being decentralised, pervasive and composed of a large number of autonomous entities. Frequently, communication systems deployed on such infrastructures need to run in highly dynamic environments, where content, network topologies and work loads are continuously changing. Adaptation thus becomes a key feature of a system's behaviour. In addition, such communication systems involve a social dimension; for example, the entities within such communication systems can engage in interactions, discover suitable other participants, negotiate, and perform transactions. In certain cases, the complexity of the communication system is such that no centralised or hierarchical control is possible. These characteristics are similar to those which one finds in self-organising systems seen in nature, such as physical, biological and social systems. Objectives The objectives of IJAACS are to address research being undertaken by an interdisciplinary research computing community - and to provide a common platform under which this work can be published and disseminated. It will lead to the emergence of the desired global result: intelligent communication systems. IJAACS provides a high-quality platform for this purpose. Contents IJAACS will publish research contributions that significantly advance the state-of-the-art research in this area. Articles reporting the practical applications of different theoretical approaches will be of particular interest to IJAACS. Good quality survey articles will also be of interest to the journal. Subject Coverage Topics of interest include but are not limited to: . Computer networks . Internet computing . Multi-agent systems . Autonomic communication systems . Security, trust and survivability for autonomic communication systems . Ambient intelligence (AmI) . Self-organising ad hoc and sensor networks . Pervasive and ubiquitous communication networks . Mobile communication networks . Wireless communication networks . Web services . Multimedia networking . Emergent behaviour in grid and peer-to-peer communication systems . Swarm intelligence and ant-based algorithms in communication systems . Bio-inspired computing in communication systems . Computational intelligence (evolutionary algorithms, neural networks, fuzzy systems, chaotic systems) in communication systems . Natural computing (molecular computing and quantum computing) in communication systems . Autonomic communication approaches in enterprise environments . Smart materials and emergent behaviour . Adaptive nanomachines and nanorobotics for AmI environments . Nonlinear dynamical systems . Game theory and economic models in adaptive and autonomous communication systems Research results having applications in other application domains such as the following will also be considered: . Biological networks . Molecular networks . Chemical networks . Social networks Specific Notes for Authors Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Submission of Papers web-page.

[Fwd: [computational.science] 1st CFP: IWRT 2008 - International Workshop on RFID Technology]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 1st CFP: IWRT 2008 - International Workshop on RFID Technology Datum: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 09:47:14 +1100 Von: <Mark.Cameron(a)csiro.au> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> The Second International Workshop on RFID Technology - Concepts, Applications, Challenges (IWRT'08) 12-13 June 2008, Barcelona, Spain http://www.iceis.org/workshops/iwrt/iwrt2008-cfp.html In conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS'08) Workshop Background and Goals ----------------------------- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer information between tagged objects and readers without line of sight. This creates tremendous opportunities for linking various objects from real world. These objects are numbered, identified, catalogued, and tracked. In recent years, RFID has gained a significant momentum and is emerging as an important technology for revolutionizing a wide range of applications including supply chain management, retail, aircraft maintenance, anti-counterfeiting, baggage handling, healthcare, just to cite some. In addition, RFID technology also offers a viable approach to implement physical user interfaces. The services available in the local environment are advertised by RFID tags. The users browse the services and activate the desired service by simply touching the corresponding tag with a mobile terminal that is equipped with an RFID reader. In the near future, these user interfaces would introduce RFID tags into our everyday lives. While RFID provides promising benefits such as inventory visibility and business process automation, some significant challenges need to be overcome before these benefits can be realized. One important issue is how to process and manage RFID data, which is typically in large volume, noisy and unreliable, time-dependent, dynamically changing, and of varying ownership. Another issue is how to seamlessly integrate low-level RFID data into (existing) enterprise information infrastructures (e.g., upper-level business processes). Finally, given the ability of inexpensively tagging and thus monitoring a large number of items and/or people, RFID raises some serious security and privacy concerns. Indeed, RFID privacy and security are stimulating research areas that involve rich interplay among many disciplines, like signal processing, hardware design, supply-chain logistics, privacy rights, and cryptography. The workshop's objective is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners, and users to exchange new ideas, developments, and experience on issues related to this emerging field. Topics of Interest ---------------------- We welcome papers that focus on novel RFID technologies and applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * Data management issues in RFID applications * Innovative RFID-enabled applications * RFID and physical user interfaces * Security/privacy and RFID * RFID and sensor networks * Web services and RFID * RFID and semantic Web * RFID standards * RFID case studies and field trials * RFID middleware * Next generation RFID technologies * Commercial experience with RFID * RFID network management * COTS and Open Source RFID infrastructure * Integration of RFID with other applications * Performance evaluation * Business process redesign and RFID Submission and Review of Papers -------------------------------- All papers must be written in English. There will be two types of papers: long (approx. 5000 words) and short (approx. 2000 words). Papers should be prepared in postscript, PDF, or Word and should be submitted through ICEIS web-based paper submission system. All the submitted papers will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. We will also implement a rebuttal phase during the paper selection process. Authors will be invited to supply a response to the reviewers' comments. The paper selection will be based on both reviewers' comments and authors' responses. Format of the Workshop ------------------------ The workshop will consist of oral presentations. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the form of a book by INSTICC Press and indexed in DBLP. Journal Publication -------------------- A Special issue of the International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology containing selected best papers of the previous workshop (IWRT'07) was published. We plan to publish selected best papers of IWRT'08 in an edited book or a Special issue of another leading international journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Deadline extended to December 9, 2007. CFP 3rd Int'l workshop on WSES in IEEE CCGrid 08 Datum: Fri, 02 Nov 2007 17:59:19 +0100 Von: zhiming(a)science.uva.nl Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [Apologies for cross and multiple postings] Deadline extended to December 9, 2007. *************************************************** 3rd International Workshop on Workflow Systems in e-Science (WSES 08) in conjunction with 8th IEEE International Symposium on CCGrid (http://staff.science.uva.nl/~zhiming/workshop/wses/, http://ccgrid2008.ens-lyon.fr) May 2008, Lyon, France *************************************************** Aims and scope Grid environments enable collaborations involving large numbers of people and large scale resources, and promote the emergence of a new paradigm for scientific research: e-Science. Different layers of middleware, e.g., for managing Grid resources, computing tasks, data, and information, form the basic framework for realising an e-Science environment. By automating the management of experiment routines, a scientific workflow management system hides the underlying integration details of the e-Science resources and allows a scientist to focus on the high level domain specific aspects of the experiments. The support for scientific workflows is being recognised as a crucial feature for introducing an e-Science environment to application scientists from different domains. The WSES workshop focuses on practical aspects of scientific workflow management systems: design, implementation, applications in all fields of computational science, interoperability among workflows and the e-Science infrastructure, e.g., knowledge framework, for workflow management. The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and developers in the field of e-Science to exchange the latest experience and research ideas on scientific workflow management and e-Science. Live demos of workflow systems and workflow application are welcome. The WSES 07 and WSES 06 were successfully held in the context of ICCS in Beijing in May 29 2007 and in Reading University in May 29 2006. In both years, the workshop attracted around 30 submissions. Each paper was reviewed by at least three referees, and 17 papers, including 9 regular ones and 8 short ones, were accepted. The presentations were organized as three sessions: scientific workflows applications, system architecture and middleware, and development issues. A special session for WSES 07 will appear in the International Journal of Future Generations of Computer Systems (FGCS). Selected papers of WSES 06 have appeared in a special issue of Scientific Programming Journal. Topics Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate current research in all areas of scientific workflow management in e-Science. The workshop solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: * Workflow infrastructure and e-Science middleware * Workflow API and graphical user interface * Workflow modelling techniques * Workflow specification language * Workflow execution engine * Dynamic workflow control * Workflow verification and validation * Workflow system performance analysis * Support tools for managing workflows * AI techniques in workflow management, e.g., planning, runtime control and user support; * Security control in managing workflow * Real-world applications of scientific workflow * Different levels of interoperability among workflow systems; * Automatic composition of scientific workflow; * Knowledge infrastructure in workflow management; Paper submission and publication The papers are limited to 6 pages each and they must follow the IEEE 8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html. Workshop papers will be included in CCGrid proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society. The papers will also be available electronically in the IEEE digital library. The procedure for paper submission will be available here soon. Selected best papers, after extension, will be published in a suitable international journal as a special issue.
