Yet, current grid work is largely focusing on issues of performance, scalability, and standardization, while still weak on aspects of intelligence and adaptability. Agent and multi-agent technologies provide a promising approach to make grid technologies and solutions based on grid technologies smarter and more flexible and adaptable. The kinds of questions which rise in this research area are twofold: On the one hand, technical questions concerning the Grid have to be solved, including advanced Grid architectures, semantically enhanced service description, and specification of resources. On the other hand issues related to autonomy, collaboration, and economic models need to be tackled. Key issues here are market-based allocation and scheduling of resources, pricing, payment, automated negotiation, market mechanisms, self-organization and learning, engineering of Grid marketplaces including policies and many others. We propose this workshop as an interdisciplinary forum to address relationships and synergies between research on intelligent agents, multi-agent systems and grid computing. The target group of this workshop are computer scientists (artificial intelligence, distributed systems, autonomic computing), economists (game theory, evolutionary economics, neo-institutional economics), cognitive science researchers (strategic behavior, automated negotiation) and practitioners (from the Grid, energy market and financial market domains). ======================================================================== Keywords Agent-based models, Grid Computing, Mechanism Design for Grid Markets, Market Engineering, Market Simulation, Agent-based Computational Economics. ======================================================================== Topics of Interest Within this workshop we intend to focus on the combination of agent-based research approaches and the Grid technology. This is a novel and promising field, in which fruitful research results are expected within a short time. Contents for contributions to the Workshop will be: * Modeling of Grid environments * Agent-based mechanisms for Grid markets * Resource allocation in Grid scenarios using agent-based approaches * Automated negotiation for Grid resource allocation * Agent-based simulation of Grid environments * Agent-based Computational Economics for Grid * Engineering of Grid markets and Grid architectures * Technical research on future application domains * Agent-based Policies for Grid markets ======================================================================== Publication We envisage post-workshop publication of selected and revised workshop publications in a journal. ======================================================================== Submission Details The workshop is soliciting full papers (8 pages) or, if presenting work in progress, short papers (4 pages).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: SDMAS'08 - Second International Workshop on Scalable DataManagementApplications and Systems Datum: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:12:11 +0100 Von: José Daniel García Sánchez<jdaniel(a)arcos.inf.uc3m.es> Antwort an: josedaniel.garcia(a)uc3m.es Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> First Call for papers SDMAS'08 Second International Workshop on Scalable Data Management Applications and Systems to be held within The 2008 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications Las Vegas Nevada, USA July, 14-17 2008 http://www.arcos.inf.uc3m.es/~jdaniel/sdmas08/ WORKSHOP SCOPE Data management is becoming a more and more important issue in every kind of computing system. High-performance computing, data visualization, multimedia and data mining systems are examples of application areas where input/output and storage are critical issues for performance. A key challenge in those areas is how to transfer large amounts of data in and out of large-scale systems, like clusters, Grids and peer-to-peer systems. Another key point is how to transfer large amount of data in a timely manner. The aim of the workshop is to identify, discuss, and share the barriers and workarounds that have been discovered in the storage and input/output fields. Compute and I/O-intensive applications, as represented by the Grand Challenge problems, multimedia, cosmology simulation, climate modeling and collaborative large-scale visualizations, large data acquisition networks, data fussion and integration to name just a few, call for innovative approaches to alleviate the I/O devices and networks(both bandwidth and file access) bottlenecks. The advent of commodity (COTS) hardware platforms has opened up numerous possibilities in massive data gathering and storage, scalable systems, and large-scale simulations. The goal of this workshop is to bring together educators, researchers, developers and vendors to discuss problems and solutions in the former areas, to identify new issues, and to shape future research and development directions. We are soliciting papers reporting original work on, but not limited to the following TOPICS * File systems, protocols and storage management for parallel and distributed systems, including supercomputers, clusters, grid, peer to peer, and embedded systems. * Internet services scalability, including locally and geographically distributed web systems, web clusters, web applications architecture, mobile applications, web services, load balancing, availability and reliability of web systems, web caching, web replication, edge services, web performance modeling, web workload characterization, etc. * High performance I/O, including massively parallel storage architectures, data and meta-data consistency, allocation and utilization strategies for exploiting parallel and distributed memory, Ad-hoc parallel file systems, parallel I/O architectures, compilers and I/O APIs, etc. * Parallel and distributed databases, including OLAP, replication schemes, optimal data allocation, multidimensional analysis, access patterns, data declustering, Client Caching Data Management Systems, index distribution schemes, memory management techniques, etc. * Performance evaluation: benchmarking of data management systems, I/O benchmarks, performance under faulty conditions, I/O optimization techniques for scientific and business applications, performance tuning, I/O modeling, performance tools, tests of products, etc. * Security, reliability and availability in distributed storage systems, including fault tolerance mechanisms, impact of replication on reliability, reliability and availability modelling, highly available storage systems, cryptographic techniques, secure protocols, etc. * Data management applications, including data mining, knowledge discovery, data fussion, ontologies, bioinformatics, simulations, geographical information systems, image processing, Web retrieval, checkpointing, astrophysics, particle physics, etc. * Storage technology and protocols including both hardware and software elements, including new I/O architectures, active storage, virtualization, I/O middleware, quality of service issues, etc. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: Feb, 15, 2008 Notification to authors: March 20, 2008 Workshop dates.July 14-17, 2008 -- Jesús Carretero and José Daniel García SDMAS'08 Chairs e-mail: josedaniel.garcia(a)uc3m.es Web: http://www.arcos.inf.uc3m.es/~jdaniel

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: 15. Workshop der Fachgruppe WI-VM der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. Datum: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:53:48 +0100 (CET) Von: gi-mitglieder-info(a)gi-ev.de An: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at 15. Workshop der Fachgruppe WI-VM der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. Vorgehensmodelle und der Product Life-cycle - Projekt und Betrieb von IT-Lösungen - Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen Workshoptermin: 10. - 11. April 2008 Ort: Berlin Inhaltliche Ausrichtung Lange Zeit wurden Vorgehensmodelle hauptsächlich im Zusammenhang mit der Software-Entwicklung diskutiert. Große Projekte schaffen allerdings komplexe Lösungen bestehend aus einer Software, die in Eigenentwicklung und auch aus zugekauften Komponenten bestehen kann, aus der Hardwareplattform für den Betrieb der Software, wie auch aus dem Personal für Projekt und Betrieb der Lösung. Die Praxis benötigt Vorgehensmodelle, die nicht nur Software-Systeme fokussieren, sondern den Entwicklungsprozess einer kompletten IT-Lösung umspannen: der Eigenentwicklung von Software, der Beschaffung von Hardware und Software und dem Projektieren von Rollen, Organisationsstrukturen und Prozessen. Die Erfahrungen für ein gute Software- und IT-Lösungen kommen aus dem Betrieb. Es besteht deshalb ein großes Interesse die Projekte aus dem Betrieb heraus zu initiieren, die Betriebsprozesse mit den Ent-wicklungsprozessen zu integrieren. Vorgehensmodelle sind mit ihren ausgereiften Beschreibungsmitteln und ausgearbeiteten Katalogen mit Produkten, Prozessen, Rollen und Methoden ein gutes Vorbild für die Darstellung von IT-Betriebsprozessen. Es wäre deshalb wünschenswert, Betriebsmodelle zu darzustellen und über ein Metamodell zu kontrollieren, wie es einigen Vorgehensmodellen bereits gelungen ist. Der Workshop 2008 der Fachgruppe WI-VM der Gesellschaft für Informatik widmet sich der Integrati-on von Entwicklungsprozessen und deren Vorgehensmodelle mit Betriebsprozessen und deren Best-practise-Katalogen zu einem Product Life-cycle. Themenliste 1. Product-Life-cycle Ansätze * Übersicht über bestehende Product-Life-cycle Ansätze * Möglichkeiten der Integration von Betriebsmodellen, wie z.B. ITIL mit Vorgehensmodellen * Tools des Product-Life-cycle * Kosten und Nutzen des integrierten Life-cycle Managements * Best-practise-Ansätze zum Product-Life-cycle * Zertifizierung von Product-Life-cycle-, Assessment-, Akkreditierungsmodelle im Vergleich 2. Praktische Erfahrung mit dem Product Life-cycle * Firmenbeispiele für die Konfiguration von Tools und Vorgehensweisen für die Unterstützung des Li-fe-cycle * Erfahrungen mit Life-cycle Management * Versuche der Integration von hausinternen Vorgehensmodellen mit Life-cycle-Modellen 3. Anwendungen des V-Modell XT * Das V-Modell XT Zertifizierungsmodell * Neuentwicklungen zum V-Modell XT * Erfahrungen mit dem V-Modell XT und den Werkzeugen * Integration anderer Vorgehensmodelle mit dem V-Modell XT 4. Vorgehensmodelle und Projektmanagement * Vorstellung firmeninterner Vorgehensmodelle * Kosten-Nutzen-Betrachtungen zum Einsatz von Vorgehensmodellen * Operationalisierung von Vorgehensmodell-Prozessen im Projektmanagement * Ergebnisse des Projektmanagement für Vorgehensmodelle 5. Praxisrelevante Dissertationen und Diplomarbeiten zu Vorgehensmodellen * Mapping von Vorgehensmodellen, Life-cycle-Modellen und Improvement-Frameworks * Nutzungserhebungen, Benchmarks, Ergebnisse von Befragungen * Kompatibilität, Kombinierbarkeit und Integrierbarkeit von Prozessmodellen Der Workshop ist eine Plattform für die Diskussion und den Austausch von Erfahrungen, mit einer Bewer-tung ihrer Praxistauglichkeit und soll den Wissenstransfer aus der Vorgehensmodell-Entwicklung in die Praxis bieten und neue Anregungen zum praktischen Einsatz von Vorgehensmodellen geben. Beiträge Die Beiträge werden in einem Tagungsband veröffentlicht, sollen ca. 10 -15 Seiten umfassen und Veröf-fentlichungsqualität erfüllen.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CfP: CDKD08 Datum: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:01:42 +0100 Von: Claudia Diamantini <diamantini(a)diiga.univpm.it> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [Sorry if you get multiple copies of this message] You are cordially invited to participate in this Workshop through paper submission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Paper The 2008 Workshop on Collaborative Distributed Knowledge Discovery (CDKD08) As part of The 2008 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2008) May 19-23, 2008 The Hyatt Regency Irvine Irvine, California, USA http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/08/ Submission Deadline: January 15, 2008 Brief Description: ------------------ Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining cannot be considered as a mere application of existing processes and technologies but require highly skilled humans. Collaboration, be it local or remote, offers the potential of improved results by harnessing dispersed expertise and enabling knowledge sharing and learning. In Knowledge Discovery, collaboration is also motivated by different expertise and tools the participants may have, as well as by the distribution of the data to analyze. Distributed organizations collect data in distributed heterogeneous repositories and perform decision making in a distributed fashion. Extracting valuable knowledge from raw data produced by distributed parties presents new issues, such as privacy, ownership, physical allocation of data, availability of resources, which can find a technological solution in collaborative environments for distributed Data Mining. Technologies and methodologies for collaborative and distributed environments have reached a quite mature stage in general. They are semantic technologies for integration and interoperability of information sources, web services for application interoperability, Computer Supported Cooperative Work environments, and Grid infrastructures. They can be of great help in complex data mining projects: for instance, distributed Data Mining algorithms can help manage distributed heterogeneous data as well as deal with partial information and models. In addition, collaboration tools and platforms can help different geographically dispersed groups to work together on the same data mining problem in a collaborative way. Then, semantic technologies can help data and tool understanding, integration, and composition. Nevertheless, few works consider collaborative and distributed aspects in Knowledge Discovery. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of most recent advances and challenges, both emerging and mature ideas, in the methods and techniques for collaborative data mining and knowledge discovery in databases, and to identify the short- and long-term research directions in the field. Workshop topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Computer Supported Collaborative Data Mining - Human-computer interaction in Data Mining - Knowledge modeling for communication, information exchange and collaboration in Data Mining - Support systems for collaborative Data Mining process specification and execution - Methodologies and Environments for collaborative Data Mining - Online and Offline Knowledge Discovery - Data Mining workflow systems - Versioning management of Data Mining processes and data - Mining from multiple heterogeneous information sources - Data integration and fusion - Annotation of Data Mining processes and data - Trust, Security and Privacy-aware KDD - Integration of Data Mining algorithms and models - Cooperative Learning and cooperative Data Mining algorithms - Semantic support for collaborative Data Mining - Social Networking and KDD - Data Mining techniques for collaborative working - Data Mining virtual organizations - Data Mining techniques for collaborative working - KDD based Decision Making and Policy Support - Case studies and applications Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on above and any other related topics are welcome. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses. Please indicate clearly the corresponding author.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers: The First International Workshop on Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications (RTSOAA’08) -- Papers Due March 1, 2008 Datum: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:42:41 -0500 Von: Jun-jang Jeng <jjjeng(a)us.ibm.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> The First International Workshop on Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications (RTSOAA’08) in conjunction with IEEE COMPSAC 2008, Turku, July 28-August 1, 2008 * * Theme of the Workshop * * As the paradigm service-oriented computing gains more prominence in the development of systems and commercial applications, the capability of guaranteeing service timeliness is becoming a critical feature that elevates an enterprise to the next level. A real-time business can provide a better quality of service (comparing with its peers) by shortening the latencies of data, analysis, decision and execution. As such, real time service-oriented architecture and application (RTSOAA) evolve the traditional service-oriented computing approach to the next level of excellence. RTSOAA presents a new set of emerging issues and challenges that are expected to be identified, resolved by the service-oriented computing community. These include, (1) Approaches to meet timing constraints and to select services and resources for optimizing the trade-offs between cost and efficiency. (2) Issues for RTSOAA: modeling, infrastructure composition, coordination, planning and scheduling, choreography, deployment, configuration, monitoring and control, and governance. This workshop is intended to provide an effective forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange innovative ideas and state-of-the-art research, share experiences and lessons learned from academic research projects as well as real world projects, and discuss issues, challenges, needs, and solutions in Real-Time Service-Oriented Architecture and Applications. * * Scope of the Workshop * * RTSOAA signifies an interdisciplinary area that covers disciplines such as real-time systems, service-oriented architecture, software engineering, decision technology, database management and so on. RTSOAA’08 welcomes the submission of papers from researchers and practitioners in the subjects related, but not limited to: 1.Service Life Cycle Management - Real-Time Aware Service Composition - Dynamic Service Deployment and Configuration - Real-Time Planning and Scheduling - Service Instrumentation for Observability & Monitoring - Real-Time Control on Service Behavior 2.Enabling Technologies - Event driven architecture for RTSOAA - Database modeling & management for RTSOAA - Policy driven management for RTSOAA - Middleware & infrastructure for RTSOAA - Real-time mining, simulation & optimization 3.Methodologies - Modeling & architectural approaches for RTSOAA - Requirement engineering for RTSOAA - Testing approaches for RTSOAA - Quality of service support for RTSOAA - Measurement and analysis of RTSOAA 4. Applications - Case studies of major RTSOAA projects - Implementation of RTSOAA in real-world environment - Experience reports of impacts, challenges and lessons learned - Analysis of industry-specific trends and challenges - Benchmarking models geared for RTSOAA * * Paper Submission Information * * Papers must be submitted electronically via the RT-SOAA 2008 Submission Page (will be available later). The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers.

Intelligent computing is generally known to be computationally intensive from the point of view of resources required: time, memory, bandwidth. As this is usually thought to be a drawback, distributed computing is expected to give an impetus to its practical applications. Moreover, intelligent techniques have also proved their usefulness to core distributed computing technologies like: planning & scheduling, load balancing, replication, resource allocation and management, etc. Therefore, the emergent field of intelligent and distributed computing is expected to pose new challenges of adaptation and fruitful combination of both areas. The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers involved in intelligent and distributed computing to allow cross-fertilization and synergy of ideas and to enable advancement of researches in the field. The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of intelligent and distributed computing ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.
