[Fwd: [computational.science] 2nd International Workshop on Secure Information Systems (SIS'07)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 2nd International Workshop on Secure Information Systems (SIS'07) Datum: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 14:40:53 +0200 Von: Szczypiorski, Krzysztof <K.Szczypiorski(a)elka.pw.edu.pl> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Second Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd International Workshop on Secure Information Systems (SIS'07) October 15-17, 2007, Wisla, Poland http://www.imcsit.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd International Workshop on Secure Information Systems (SIS'07) will be held in Wisla, Poland on October 15-17, 2007, in conjunction with the International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information Technology. The conference and the workshop are organized in cooperation with the Poland Chapter of the IEEE Computer Society and with the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Science. The SIS workshop is envisioned as a forum to promote the exchange of ideas and results addressing complex security issues that arise in modern information systems. We aim at bringing together a community of security researchers and practitioners working in such divers areas as networking security, antivirus protection, intrusion detection, cryptography, security protocols, and others. We would like to promote an integrated view at the security of information systems. As information systems evolve, becoming more complex and ubiquitous, issues relating to security, privacy and dependability become more critical. At the same time, the global and distributed character of modern computing - typically involving interconnected heterogeneous execution environments - introduces many new and challenging engineering and scientific problems. Providing protection against increasingly sophisticated attacks requires strengthening the interaction between different security communities, e.g. antivirus and networking. New technologies lead to the emergence of new threats and attack strategies, involving smart mobile devices, peer-to-peer networks, instant messaging, VoIP, mesh networks or even networked consumer devices, such as house appliances or cars. Furthermore, the increasing openness of the communications infrastructure results in novel threats and can jeopardize critical enterprise and public infrastructure, such as industrial automation and process control systems. Not only it is estimated that half of all Web applications and Internet storefronts still contain some security vulnerabilities, but secure commerce applications are also exposed to increasingly elaborate attacks, including spyware, phishing and other social engineering methods. In order to develop a secure system, security has to be considered in all phases of the lifecycle and adequately addressed in all layers of the system. At the same time, good engineering has to take into account both scientific and economic aspects of every solution: the cost of security has to be carefully measured against its benefits - in particular the expected cost of mitigated risks. Most companies and individuals treat security measures in information system as a necessary, but often uncomfortable, overhead. The increasing penetration of computing in all domains of everyday life means that security of critical business systems is often managed and maintained by personnel who are not knowledgeable in the field. This highlights the importance of usability and ease of configuration of security mechanism and protocols. Covered topics include (but are not limited to): * Access control * Adaptive security * Copyright protection * Cryptography * Cyberforensics * Digital Rights Management * Honeypots * Intrusion detection * Network security * Privacy * Secure commerce * Security exploits * Security policies * Security protocols * Security services * Security evaluation and prediction * Software protection * Trusted computing * Threat modeling * Usability and security * Viruses and worms * Zero-configuration security mechanisms PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Paper will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and the relevance to the workshop. Accepted and presented papers will be included into the Conference Proceedings and published on a CD (ISSN 1896-7094). Extended versions of selected papers will be published in an international journal (to be announced). Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file). Their total length should not exceed 10 pages of (LNCS style). While preparing your papers, please use templates available at the correspondent WWW site (http://www.imcsit.org/).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: Workshop on the Induction of Process Models Datum: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 02:33:35 +0200 (CEST) Von: Ljupco Todorovski <Ljupco.Todorovski(a)ijs.si> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Papers First International Workshop on the Induction of Process Models to be held at International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML-2007) 24th of June 2007 Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA The workshop focuses on learning process models from observations and background knowledge. Although a large literature on time-series analysis exists, it emphasizes descriptive models that ignore the underlying mechanisms of the studied system. In contrast, the workshop centers on knowledge-aware learning approaches that refer to relevant scientific concepts. These methods work to uncover the mechanisms that generate observed behavior, to identify plausible state-transition networks, or to induce pathways that depict flux within the system. The resulting models may characterize behavior in qualitative, quantitative, or mixed representations with an emphasis on comprehensibility. Key research directions in process-based modeling include knowledge-rich induction, learning in expressive languages, and modeling temporal and spatial data.

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) has been proposed as a means for supporting the software development process by employing a model-centric approach. Models help us understand a complex problem and its potential solutions through abstraction. Software systems can, therefore, benefit from MDA for their development, improving productivity, quality, and platform independence. MDA can be used to develop high level (platform independent) models that can be transformed into more specific (according to a specific platform) models that in turn can be transformed into code dependent models. This successive model transformation provides a basis for mapping between analysis and design models, and for its traceability. The Software Engineering community is realizing security to be an important requirement of software systems, one that should be considered from the first stages of its development, because its ad hoc integration when the software system has already been developed has a negative impact on the maintainability and security of the system. Unfortunately, current approaches which take security into consideration from the early stages of software development do not take advantage of MDA. Security should definitely be integrated as another element of the high level software system models undergoing transformation until the final code generation, like other components of the models. This special issue explores current research challenges, ideas and approaches for employing Model Driven Architecture to integrate security into software systems development through an engineering-based approach, avoiding the traditional ad hoc security integration. We encourage papers addressing issues including, but not limited to, the following: * New approaches for including security in software systems and their components (e.g. databases, data warehouses, information systems, web services-based applications, business process models, etc.). * Profiles and extensions of the most accepted modelling language standards used for the incorporation of security requirements into their models. * Case studies on integrating security into analysis models and on its transformation. * Methodologies, models, languages for developing secure software systems. * Metamodeling for the inclusion of security in models and for its transformation. * Automatic code generation for secure systems. Authors will need to indicate their intention to submit a paper by forwarding the title of the paper and abstract via email to Eduardo.FdezMedina(a)uclm.es by May 1, 2007. They will need to submit their papers to one of the Guest Editors by May 22, 2007.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: Uncertainty and Fuzziness in CBR Datum: Thu, 05 Apr 2007 14:12:24 +0200 Von: Eyke Hüllermeier <eyke(a)Mathematik.Uni-Marburg.de> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [ please distribute - apologies for multiple postings ] ======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP ON UNCERTAINTY AND FUZZINESS IN CASE-BASED REASONING ======================================================================== taking place on August 15, 2006, as part of ICCBR 2007 - 7. INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CASE-BASED REASONING Belfast, Northern Ireland As a general problem solving methodology intended to cover a wide range of real-world applications, case-based reasoning must face the challenge to deal with uncertain, incomplete, and vague information. Correspondingly, recent years have witnessed an increased interest in formalizing parts of the CBR methodology within different frameworks of reasoning under uncertainty, and in building hybrid approaches by combining CBR with methods of uncertain and approximate reasoning. Fuzzy set theory can be mentioned as a particular though especially interesting example. In fact, even though both CBR and fuzzy systems are intended as cognitively more plausible approaches to reasoning and problem solving, the two corresponding fields have emphasized different aspects and techniques that can complement each other in a reasonable way. In particular, rule-based fuzzy systems and CBR systems can cross- fertilize each other in various ways. Besides, fuzzy methods turned out to be very useful for knowledge representation in CBR. The objective of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for exchanging ideas related to the application of uncertainty techniques in case-based reasoning. The workshop aims at providing a forum for the discussion of recent advances in this research field and to offer an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to identify new promising research directions. The organizers welcome contributions on the use of principled methods for reasoning under uncertainty such as, e.g., - probabilistic and Bayesian methods, - fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, - possibility theory, - evidence theory, - rough set theory, - information theory, in case-based reasoning, including but not limited to - case and knowledge representation, acquisition, and modeling, - maintenance and management of CBR systems, - case indexing and retrieval, - similarity assessment and adaptation, - instance-based and case-based learning, - CBR applications. We encourage submissions of papers that report on advances in these core areas, as well as those dealing with insights or important open problems for future research derived from the construction and use of applications. ======================================================================== SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ======================================================================== Papers MUST be submitted in Springer LNCS format, with a maximum of 10 pages. Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro files are available on the web at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Submit papers in PDF or PS formats. Additional instructions will be given in due time. Papers should be submitted in pdf format to the following email address: eyke(a)informatik.uni-marburg.de ======================================================================== WORKSHOP-RELATED SPECIAL ISSUE ======================================================================== Authors of accepted papers with suitable topics will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for consideration in a special issue of the international journal "Fuzzy Sets and Systems".
