-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: Visual Languages and Computing 2007 Datum: Sat, 31 Mar 2007 13:51:42 -0500 (CDT) 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 | |______________________________________| DEADLINE: 10 April 2007 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/dms07.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 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.

In Grid Computing systems heterogeneous networked resources are utilized. Computational resources, storage, memory and bandwidth are complemented with content-oriented input from databases and web services. Hence such systems may operate in predefined and centrally organized ways, or coordination may be conducted in a self-organized, decentral manner. Although there are plenty of idle computing resources available on the internet, only a small percentage of these are actually utilized. One of the reasons for this could be a lack of reliability, availability, quality of service and security. Substantial work has been done on protocols, middleware, and services for security, discovery, sharing, management etc., of computing, storage, data and other resources within dynamic, distributed computing systems. Little attention has been dedicated to the economically efficient allocation of such resources, the embedding of common pricing and business schemes with content provision, as well as the generation of business models based on Grid utilization. Lately, several initiatives have started in order to generate substantial approaches in this area. The topic has emerged to become a key research topic in the domain of applying Grid technology in commercial applications such as service oriented architectures (SOA) and web services. Such approaches are fostering a wider commercial adoption of existing research-grade Grid computing systems in the services domain and enable completely novel business models in future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Grid Economics o Engineering of Grid markets and Grid architectures o Economic resource allocation in Grid scenarios o Resource allocation in Grid scenarios o Environment descriptions and economic metrics for Grids o Simulation of Grid markets o Economics of Grid standardization o Grid systems¹ economy, its operation and deployment - Business Models for Grids and Utility Computing o Automated negotiation for Grid resource allocation o Pricing, charging and accounting issues of Grid resources o Suggestion for commercialization strategies for Grid approaches o Business application development for Grid services o Economic and business mechanisms in national computational Grid systems o Agent-based simulation of Grid environments and markets - Service Science o Engineering of eOrganizations o Computational and content services in Web 2.0 o Multi-tier offers: Computing and web services o Pricing and billing in service oriented architectures (SOA) o Evaluation of dynamic pricing and trading mechanisms for Grid and content resources o Generation of knowledge in complex decision situations in Grid allocation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manuscripts formatted along the guidelines for authors of the Journal of Grid Computing (http://www.springer.com/journal/10723/) must be submitted online under http://www.editorialmanager.com/grid/ before March 31st 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue Editor: Daniel Veit University of Mannheim, Germany veit(a)uni-mannheim.de Special Issue Co-Editor: Wolfgang Gentzsch D-Grid Initiative, Germany Duke University, North Carolina, USA wgentzsch(a)d-grid.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editors, Journal of Grid Computing : Péter Kacsuk and Ian Foster ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Daniel Veit Chair of Business Administration and Information Systems - E-Business and E-Government - Director of International Affairs Business School University of Mannheim, Germany Phone: +49-621-181-3321 http://veit.bwl.uni-mannheim.de/

After the success of the first two editions for the one day workshop in 2005 and 2006, we decided to propose a third edition in Vienna, 2007. Since the mid nineties and the emergence of Grids, many research activities have been initiated in relation to data management in these dynamic, heterogeneous and cross-organisational environments. The database community can offer her unique expertise in the management of very large, widely distributed databases. Conversely, Grids offer a novel and very exciting field of research for database scientists both in terms of application domains and fundamental research. This workshop is intended to bring together these two communities, and thus to offer a unique workspace for researchers to discuss and exchange ideas about the emerging challenges and opportunities offered by Data Grids. The first workshops raised interesting questions on the data management, and its particularities in a Grid. Relevant topics for the workshop include all aspects related to the management of data in a Grid (non-exhaustive list) : Data Access Data Interoperability Semantic Grids Mediation / Negotiation Security: access control, policy, privacy Data Placement: replication, migration Data Streams Metadata Management Indexing Query processing Caching Data Warehouses Unique identification of data entities Data Definition/Model Management Data De-identification Data scheduler and data-aware scheduling Information sharing Information dissemination Applications dealing with large databases Data management in Pervasive Grids Submission ---------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as PDF files via email to : pierson(a)irit.fr Research papers should not exceed 10 pages in length. They should be formatted using the camera-ready templates of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.de/ comp/lncs/authors.html). At least one author will be required to register for the workshop and present the work. The proceedings of the 1st workshop in 2005 was published by LNCS, and a selection of the best papers of the 2nd edition in 2006 are published by the Journal 'Concurrency and Communication: Practices and Experiences'. We plan to publish on the same way the papers in 2007 (agreements pending).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Last Call - ECAL2007 - Workshop - Machine Epigenesis 2007 Datum: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 09:41:31 -0700 Von: William R. Buckley <wrb(a)wrbuckley.com> Antwort an: <wrb(a)wrbuckley.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [[[[ LAST CALL FOR PAPERS ]]]] ECAL 2007 Workshop on Machine Epigenesis Lisbon, Portugal September 10, 2007 [[Motivation]] Creating a machine that exhibits life-like behavior has been the very core motivation of Artificial Life since its onset. Self-replication has remained the prime study since von Neumann, however, biological systems show a far wider range of generative hehavior, including differentiation and morphogenesis of multicellular structures from a single zygote, and adaptive de-differentiation and regeneration of parts in case of system failure. These characters remain largely missing in manmade, engineered systems, as well indicated by the late John Maynard-Smith in his writing: "One reason why we find it so hard to understand the development of form may be that we do not make machines that develop: often we understand biological phenomena only when we have invented machines with similar properties... [and] we do not make 'embryo' machines ..." - John Maynard-Smith, The Problems of Biology (1986) [[Workshop]] The Workshop on Machine Epigenesis aims to address this issue -- the means, methods and models of machine epigenesis. It is expected to establish a field of research on any constructional and epigenetic processes of machines and to initiate a collective effort of formalization of models of such epigenetic machines. Here a "machine" is broadly construed to include abstract automata, electro-mechanical devices, molecular structures, and any other physical or informational instantiation. Topics to be covered in the workshop include (but are not limited to): - Formal theories and abstract models of machine epigenesis - Theories of universal and non-universal constructors - Physical implementation of epigenetic machines - Self-replicating and self-repairing machines - Self-organization in modular and swarm robots - Biological analogs relevant to the realization of machine epigenesis - Philosophical and ethical issues in creating epigenetic machines - Extending the mechanist model of living systems - philosophy [[Format]] The workshop will be organized to provide an open opportunity for participation by any person engaged in relevant research, or who may have relevant opinion, all presented within the framework of an open forum discussion. During the discussion each submitted paper will be briefly presented in an informal setting (typically in 5~10 minutes) and then examined and debated. While the debate will take place between those researchers who submit papers, audience participation will be facilitated, primarily through comments and questions. [[paper Submission]] Readers are invited to submit a paper on original research or discussion on any aspect of machine epigenesis. Papers should be formatted following the guidelines for the ECAL 2007 proceedings (http://www.ecal2007.org/submissions.htm). Papers should not exceed 10 pages in length and must be made in PDF format. Papers should be submitted electronically by email addressed to both the program chairs. Submitted papers will be reviewed and judged by the Programme Committee members based on their relevance to the workshop and conference, originality, clarity of the presentation, and overall quality. [[Important Dates]] Paper submission deadline: April 9, 2007 Notification of acceptance: May 14, 2007 Camera-ready submissions: May 31, 2007 [[Proceedings]] Accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings CD-ROM that will be distributed to all ECAL 2007 attendees. It is also expected that workshop participants shall have the opportunity to publish a paper in a special issue of the International Journal of Unconventional Computing. Confirmation from the journal is pending. [[Program Chairs]] William R.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP: 3rd International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce Datum: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 13:48:52 +0100 (CET) Von: martin hepp <mhepp(a)wiinf.uni-wuerzburg.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; [ our apologies if you receive this message multiple times ] ================================================================== Call for Papers: 3rd International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2007) In conjunction with the 8th ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce (EC’07) June 12, 2007, San Diego, California http://www.cebt.re.kr:8082/DEECS2007 ++ Deadline for submission: April 10, 2007 (extended) ++ ++ Full papers (14 pages) and position papers (6 pages) invited ++ ++ Postproceedings as Springer LNCS (*) ++ ++ more information at http://www.cebt.re.kr:8082/DEECS2007 ++ =================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== As part of their e-business activities, enterprises create, share, recombine, and process an ever increasing amount of data and documents that range from simple transactional data to complex business process definitions. In many respective processes, multiple spheres overlap, e.g. (1) inter- with intra-organizational data sources in collaborative processes, (2) master data with transactional data, (3) regular data with behavioral aspects of processes, or (4) facts with normative assertions. Since business entities are members of multiple value chains, same as data sources are often used in multiple contexts and processes, there are often conflicting requirements on the representation of such data. All this in combination makes e-business data engineering a very challenging task, already at the level of a single company but even more in value chains. Also, respective modeling choices may have long-lasting and far reaching impact, and affect (1) operational efficiency, (2) business process agility, (3) the range of analytical tasks for decision support, and (4) strategic options. Eventually, those choices determine the current and future degree of automation in content and process integration. While e-business standards in general help, standardization alone does not solve the problem. This is because yielding a consensual representation takes time, consumes resources, and constrains an entity’s ability to capture individual details. Moreover, the cost of implementing and enforcing the standards is sometimes prohibitive for small businesses. Proprietary representations, on the other hand, hamper interoperability, and complicate B2B integration. In service-oriented architectures (SOAs), this complexity is further increased by the behavioral dimension of e-business interactions, e.g. services choreography and orchestration. This workshop aims at providing a venue for discussion and the exchange of ideas on data and knowledge engineering issues in the dynamic environment of e-business, enterprise computing, and business services and transformation. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting papers, posters, and hands-on demonstrations on the following topics: > Business data integration > Business data management > Business data privacy and security > Business decision support > Business intelligence > Business modeling and analysis > Business process integration > Business process management > Business process monitoring > Business process intelligence > Business transformation outsourcing > Business data privacy and security > Business value and cost modeling and analysis > Case studies and applications > Corporate knowledge management > Customer relationship management > Decision support systems > E-commerce content > E-commerce standards > Enterprise application integration > Enterprise architecture > E-procurement and sourcing > Folksonomies and collaborative tagging in business applications > Human resources management > Legal applications > Ontology and semantic web > Product catalog management > Product lifecycle management > Product specification standardization > Semantic business process management > Semantics supported business intelligence > Semantic web services > Sensors and actuators > Service oriented architecture > Solution design and delivery > Specification and monitoring of service-level agreements > Supply chain management > Tools tailored to applications in these areas > Ubiquitous / context-aware services > Virtual enterprises > Web services Paper Submission and Publication ================================ We invite short position papers (up to 6 pages) and full paper (up to 14 pages) in Springer LNCS format. For format details and templates, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. All papers must be submitted using the workshop conference management system available at http://www.easychair.org/DEECS2007/ At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and workshop and must attend the workshop. Only papers presented at the workshop will be included in the post-proceedings. Same as in 2006, the DEECS post-proceedings are planned to be published as Springer LNCS (*). (*) subject to final approval. Review Process ============== Each paper will typically be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. Reviewers will score submissions according to their contribution, originality/novelty, technical depth/merit, and quality of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers, HPCIV07 Datum: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 09:13:40 -0000 Von: Devai, Frank Lewis <IMCEAEX-_O=LSBU_OU=FIRST+20ADMINISTRATIVE+20GROUP_CN=RECIPIENTS_CN=DEVAIFL(a)exchange.lsbu.ac.uk> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> High-Performance Computing and Information Visualization (HPCIV07) HPCIV07 is a workshop in association with the 2007 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2007, 26-29 August 2007, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, http://www.iccsa.org/ High-performance computing often results in very large data sets, which are best interpreted using visualization. Very large data sets arise naturally in many application areas including computer-aided design, virtual-reality and geographic information systems. Researchers working on the visualization of large data sets face problems not only in graphics and computational geometry, but also those arising from the general area of high performance computing such as load balancing, communication overhead and fault tolerance. This workshop attempts to bring together theoreticians and practitioners working in the areas of high-performance parallel, distributed and grid computing as well as those working in the areas of high-performance computer graphics and information visualization. Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers describing theoretical and/or experimental research. Papers may be either: o Full papers of 10 to 14 pages - Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes. o Short papers of 6 to 9 pages - Accepted contributions will be published in the IEEE Computer Society proceedings. General areas of interest include, but are not limited to: o High-performance architectural techniques o Visualization of large data sets o High-performance distributed computing o Interactive visualization o High-performance computer graphics o Grid and cluster computing o Algorithms and architectures for visualization o Visualization for computer-aided design o Visualization in virtual-reality systems o Visualization aspects of geographic information systems o Load balancing and communication overhead o Latency and scalability o Algorithms and data structures for large geometric data sets o Image compositing techniques o Multi-resolution techniques o Multi-server architectures o Cache-oblivious algorithms o Out-of-core rendering o Theoretical and experimental algorithm evaluation International Program Committee Tony Adriaansen, ICT Centre, CSIRO, Australia Bernard Chalk, London South Bank University, UK Frank Devai, London South Bank University, UK Marina L.

[Fwd: [computational.science] CFP: ECOOP 07 Workshop Roles'07 - Roles and Relationships in OO Programming, Multiagent systems and Ontologies]
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: ECOOP 07 Workshop Roles'07 - Roles and Relationships in OO Programming, Multiagent systems and Ontologies Datum: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:25:57 +0100 Von: Guido Boella <guido(a)di.unito.it> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [Apologies if you receive this email multiple times] Roles’07 CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd Workshop on Roles and Relationships in Object Oriented Programming, Multiagent Systems, and Ontologies Workshop co-located with ECOOP 2007 Berlin, July 30 and 31, 2007 Roles are a truly ubiquitous notion: like classes, objects, and relationships, they pervade the vocabulary of all sciences that deal with the nature of things and how these things relate to each other. In fact, it seems that roles are so fundamental a notion that they must be granted the status of an ontological primitive. The definition of roles depends on the definition of relationships. With the advent of Object Technology, however, relationships have moved out of the focus of attention, giving way to the more restricted concept of attributes or, more technically, references to other objects. A reference is tied to the object holding it and as such is asymmetric—at most the target of the reference can be associated with a role. This is counter to the intuition that every role should have at least one counter-role, namely the one it interacts with. It seems that the natural role of roles in object-oriented designs can only be restored by installing relationships (collaborations, teams, etc.) as first-class programming concepts. By contrast, the relational nature of roles is already acknowledged in the area of Multiagent Systems, since roles are related to the interaction among agents and to communication protocols. However, in this area there is no convergence on a single definition of roles yet, and different points of view, such as agent software engineering, specification languages, agent communication, or agent programming languages, make different use of roles. Like its predecessor “Roles, an interdisciplinary perspective” (Roles’05) held at the AAAI 2005 Fall Symposium (http://www.aaai.org/Press/Reports/Symposia/Fall/fs-05-08.php), this workshop aims at gathering researchers from different disciplines to foster interchange of knowledge and ideas concerning roles and relationships, and in particular to converge on ontologically founded proposals which can be applied to programming and agent languages. We invite all researches who have something to contribute to participate, by submitting an original paper of up to 8 pages and/or a position statement of max 2 pages (both Springer LNCS style). Every submission should either propose a new definition of ‘role’ or make a clear statement regarding the definition of ‘role’ used. The first day of the workshop will be devoted to presentations, the second one to discussions leading to a “Role Manifesto”. Ideally, if not an authoritative definition of the role concept, at least a provisional one eliciting the features common to most approaches should emerge from this workshop; the process will be continued after the workshop using a cooperative website. Research and mature ideas that focus on the following topics are particularly welcome: · Roles as first-class constructs in programming, modelling, ontologies, and multiagent systems · Relationships as first-class programming constructs · Applications that would profit from roles and relationships · Patterns dealing with the realization of relationships and roles · Roles in foundational ontologies and applicative ontologies · Roles in models (e.g. UML) and domain-specific languages · Roles in multiagent systems design, specification and programming · Experience reports with role-oriented approaches · Existing and new programming constructs related to roles · Literature surveys on roles · Reports on roles from other disciplines, like sociology, organizational theory, linguistics, etc. Submissions should be uploaded at http://roles07.di.unito.it/. For more information about formatting the paper please consult the Springer LNCS web site at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Questions should be sent to Guido Boella (guido [at] di.unito.it). The papers will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the program committee composed of experts in the different areas covered by the workshop. Papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. As in the previous edition of this workshop, high quality of submission provided, there may be a special issue of some renowned journal containing extended versions of the best workshop papers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers: I-SEMANTICS 2007, Graz, Austria, September 2007 Datum: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 13:07:16 +0100 Von: Sebastian Schaffert <sebastian.schaffert(a)salzburgresearch.at> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers =============== I-SEMANTICS 2007 3rd International Semantic Technology Conference co-located with I-KNOW 2007 and I-MEDIA 2007 5th - 7th September 2007, Graz, Austria http://www.i-semantics.tugraz.at/ Important Dates --------------- Deadline for paper submission: April 02, 2007 Notification of acceptance/rejection: Mai 21, 2007 Deadline for final paper submission: June 25, 2007 Conference: September 05 - 07, 2007 Scope ----- I-SEMANTICS 2007 is the third conference in the SEMANTICS series (previous events took place in Vienna in 2005 and 2006) and offers a forum of exchange for innovative businesses and European research institutions and companies that concentrate on semantic technologies. SEMANTICS is the first major conference series bringing together both researchers and developers in the areas of Social Software and the Semantic Web in order to present and develop innovative ideas that help realising the “Social Semantic Web”. Topics ------ Social Software systems have lead to an explosion of the content available on the Web. Content is nowadays to large extents produced by non-professionals, shared and made available free of charge, and constantly improved by collaborative processes. A question that is yet unsolved is how to find the relevant information in increasingly huge and complex amounts of content, a problem where technologies developed on the Semantic Web can help. Likewise, it would be beneficial to harness social content production not only for more-or-less traditional content but also for the creation and improvement of machine-understandable meta-data. The special focus of I-SEMANTICS 2007 is „Social Semantic Web & Semantic Social Software – Convergence of Semantic Web, Web 2.0 & Social Software”. As a conference aiming to bring together science and industry, I-SEMANTICS encourages both, scientific (research/application) and industrial contributions. The following table summarises the topics we are interested in: Technologies & Methodologies Applications ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Semantic Social Software Semantic Web Applications - Semantic Wikis and Weblogs - Existing Tools and Applications - Semantic Desktop - Application Domains - Social Tagging & Folksonomies Knowledge Modelling Experiences, Studies and Metrices - Ontology Engineering - Case Studies of Semantic Systems Usage - Terminology Management - Business Use of Semantic Systems - Visualisation of Semantic Models - Technology Assessment Knowledge Communication - Trust and Proof on the Semantic Web - Interoperability and Integration - Inter- and Transcultural Aspects in (Semantic) Web Communication Special Tracks -------------- In addition to the main programme, I-SEMANTICS will host two separately organised special tracks. „Social Semantic Desktop“ Special Track: In the special track on "Social Semantic Desktop", we ask how Semantic Web technology will change the way we work and collaborate using desktop computers. Data on the desktop can be annotated or represented using ontologies, applications on the desktop need to be integrated the same way as known from enterprise application integration or semantic web services. Semantic collaboration has always been possible between humans, but when collaborators are separated in space and time, the Semantic Desktop can assist understanding the messages passed or allow new forms of communication. Previous workshops on the ISWC conference have shown the potential of this field, and the synergies already found imply that this is a fruitful field to explore. „Terminology“ Special Track: This special track will deepen and demonstrate the theoretical input from the programme section “Knowledge Modelling: Terminology Management” in practice. We show the role and function of terminology (in its broader meaning) and terminology management within the Social Semantic Web and discuss questions, such as: How does terminology management work in practice? What are the challenges and standards of a tailored, successful project management? How to calculate the costs of multilingual solutions and localization? How to organize inter- and transcultural communication? How to “translate” the specialized language and terminology of the Semantic Web Industries to users, customers, decision makers and other target groups of the Social Semantic Web? Submission Information ---------------------- Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. Articles should follow the JUCS guidelines for formatting (http://www.jucs.org/ujs/jucs/info/submissions/style_guide.html) and must be submitted via the online submission system available at the conference website as PDF documents (other formats will not be accepted). For the camera-ready version, we will also need the source files (Latex, OpenOffice, Word). *Research/Application Papers* Research/Application papers report on novel research and/or applications relevant to the topics of the conference. The number of pages of research papers should be between 8 and 15 pages including references and an optional appendix. *Industry Papers* The conference will include an industrial track for presentations on innovative commercial software related with the topics of the conference, which include novel applications, experiences in applying recent research advances to practical scenarios and innovations. For the industrial track, we require an extended abstract of 2 to 4 pages.

Zurada, University of Louisville, USA, jacek.zurada(a.t)Louisville The Extended Deadline for paper submission is 06 April 2007 The conference Proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS CALL FOR PAPERS The complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) is a quickly growing area that attracts more and more researchers. There were several CVNN Special Sessions organized during last years, for example, at ICONIP 2002, Singapore, ICANN/ICONIP 2003, Istanbul, ICONIP 2004, Calcutta, IJCNN 2006, Vancouver, "Fuzzy Days 2006", Dortmund. Everywhere these sessions had large audience, many interesting presentations and very productive discussions. There are several new directions in CVNNs development: from formal generalization of the commonly used algorithms to the complex-valued case that are mathematically beautiful to the use of original complex-valued activation functions that can increase significantly the neuron and network functionality. There are also many interesting applications of CVNNs in pattern recognition and classification, image processing, time series prediction, bioinformatics, robotics, etc. One of the most important characteristics of the CVNNs is the proper treatment of amplitude and phase information, e.g., the treatment of wave-related rotation-related phenomena such as electromagnetism, light waves, quantum waves and oscillatory phenomena. Very interesting among other CVNNs are those networks that are based on neurons with the phase-dependent activation functions. This specific phenomenon makes it possible to increase the single neuron's functionality and to design more flexible and more effective networks. It is also very interesting to study how these phenomena can be used in modeling of the biological neural networks. ICANN-2007 in Porto will be a very attractive forum, where it will be possible to organize a systematic exchange of ideas in the area, to present the recent research results and to discuss the future trends. We hope that the proposed session will attract not only the potential speakers, but many researches who can join the CVNNs community. Papers that are, or might be, related to all aspects of the CVNNs are kindly welcomed. We welcome contributions, where a fundamental theory is developed, as well as contributions, where different applied problems are considered. We also welcome potential contributions form other areas that are on the boarders of the proposed scope. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Theoretical Aspects of CVNNs and Complex-Valued Activation Functions * Complex-Valued Associative Memories * Dynamics of Complex-Valued Neurons * Learning Algorithms for CVCNNs * Chaos in Complex Domain * Feedforward CVCNNs * Pattern Recognition, Classification and Time Series Prediction using CVCNNs * Spatiotemporal CVNNs Processing * Frequency Domain CVNNs Processing * Phase-Sensitive Signal Processing * Applications of CVNNs in Image Processing, Speech Processing and Bioinformatics * Quantum Computation and Quantum Neural Networks * CVNNs in Robotics * Quaternion and Clifford Networks Proceedings of ICANN will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science <http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-0-0-0&refer er=www.springeronline.com&SHORTCUT=www.springer.com/lncs> series.

Call for Book Chapters - Process Algebra for Parallel and Distributed Processing
by Michael Alexander 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS BOOK TITLE: Process Algebra for Parallel and Distributed Processing The book will be published in the Computational Science Series by Chapman and Hall/CRC Press in 2008 INTRODUCTION: Programming today’s multi-core processor architectures, clusters and grids is hard. Compiler research -- despite years of effort – has still not produced implicit instruction parallelism detection that goes much beyond that of basic loop-parallelism. In addition, parallel programming in the past two decades has seen only measured improvements in parallel algorithms, languages with parallel expressivity, framework and distributed validation support. As compilers have failed to deliver on their original promises, the objective of easing fine-grained parallel application programmability remains. As a consequence, new and additional paradigms are being looked at to solve what amounts to an emerging “parallel software development crisis”. The approach that looks most promising, is that of specification-based software development. It has its origins 3 decades ago, has been in a holding state for many years, and only re-emerged to a wider audience with the advent of the Object Management Group’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Yet, specification-based software development can only deliver correct, parallel and distributed programs if the specification is precise, sufficiently expressive and complete. Here, algebraic languages and process algebras are the paradigm that could catalyze solutions to many problems hampering efficient multi-core processor, cluster and grid programmability problems. They are moving into a wide realm, as evidenced by the recent release of an interpreter for the algebraic Sun Fortess Language. The book is targeted to bring together the state-of-the-art in going towards the application of algebraic languages and process algebras to parallel-and distributed processing. It will be written to the problem statement of programming today’s multi-core processor architectures, clusters and grids. RECOMMENDED TOPICS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING: The book aims to extensively treat algebraic languages/process algebras in parallel processing, embodying state-of-the-art in many of the following non-inclusive list of subtopics, emphasizing an algebraic approach in each. Parallelism-oriented algebraic languages Process calculi as catalysts to solving the concurrent programming challenge Challenges in parallel programming Formal models in distributed and parallel processing Model checking, verification techniques Program transformation Axiomatizations Concurrent languages Formal semantics Formal object oriented languages Algebras in the theory of parallel processing and distributed computing (Object oriented) distributed systems algebras Algebras and library –based approaches Frameworks supporting algebraic implementations MPI and process algebras Algebraic treatments of parallel and distributed databases (relational algebras/calculi) Concurrent composition Program generation Specification methods, notations and languages (Z, VDM-SL, B, etc.) Model and algebra transformation Operational semantics of distributed/parallel algebraic languages Parallel and distributed system specification Process algebra compilers Timed algebras Actor models CCS/CSP/ACP/Pi-Calculus/etc. in parallel-and distributed processing Equational Reasoning Software reliability/safety-critical systems Proofs Compositioanl/noncompositional methods Formal software development Integrated development environments for formal software Tools Case studies Important Dates Abstracts deadline, May 2, 2007 Submission deadline, Sept 3, 2007 Review completed, Feb 18, 2008 Camera ready with index word lists, Mar 24, 2008 Compilation, correction, proofread, Apr 20, 2008 How to Submit Please post an abstract of your planned submission via EDAS at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=5487& The format and preparation instructions for the manuscript submission can be found at: http://carmel.cis.uoguelph.ca/paBook/instructions.html Editor Contacts Prof. William Gardner University of Guelph Department of Computing and Information Science 50 Stone Rd E Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1, Canada Email: wgardner(a)cis.uoguelph.ca Telephone: +1.519.824.4120 x52696 Dr. Michael Alexander Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien Department of Information Systems and Process Management Augasse 2-6 A-1090 Vienna, Austria Email: malexand(a)wu-wien.ac.at Telephone: +43.1.31336.4467 Best Regards, Dr. Michael Alexander WU Wien Dept. of Information Systems malexand(a)wu-wien.ac.at / +43.1.31336.4467 GSM +43.699.1228.3586
