[Fwd: CFP: PRO-VE'08, 9th IFIP Working conference on Virtual Enterprises]
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: PRO-VE'08, 9th IFIP Working conference on Virtual Enterprises Datum: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:26:42 +0100 Von: Willy Picard <picard(a)kti.ae.poznan.pl> An: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at [Our Apologies if you get multiple copies of this message] PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS PRO-VEâ08 9th IFIP Working Conference on VIRTUAL ENTERPRISES Poznan, POLAND. 8 - 10 September 2008 SCOPE âPervasive Collaborative Networksâ Collaborative Networks (CN) correspond to a very active and steadily growing area. Virtual enterprises / virtual organizations (VE/VO) are already supported by a large research and business practice community. Also, Professional Virtual Communities (PVC) suggest new ways of work and put the emphasis on collaborative networks of human actors. Further to these main lines, other collaborative forms and patterns of collaborative behavior are emerging. This is not only in industry, but also in service sector, as well as governmental and non-governmental social organizations, e.g. the collaborative networks for rescue missions in disaster situations, time bank organizations, virtual labs, grid manufacturing, elderly care, etc. The concept of breeding environment is now understood as a fundamental entity to enable the formation of dynamic collaborative organizations. Recent research and developments emphasize the need for better understanding and characterization of the basic principles and mechanisms for planning and operation of collaborative networks. Building a sounder foundation, namely in terms of proper theoretical principles, ontology, and formal models capturing the concepts, entities, behavior, and operations of the CNs, continues as an important challenge. Understanding and being able to measure the benefits and risks of collaboration is another challenge. New value systems, adequate performance assessment methods and trust establishment approaches are needed in order to support value creation through collaborative networks. PRO-VE, as the most focused scientific / technical conference in the area, offers a major opportunity for the presentation and discussion of both the latest research developments and industrial practice case studies. Following the IFIP vision, PRO-VE offers a forum for collaboration among different regions of the world. This conference continues a series of successful conferences of PRO-VEâ99 (held in Porto, Portugal), PRO-VE 2000 (FlorianÃ³polis, Brazil), PRO-VEâ02 (Sesimbra, Portugal), PRO-VEâ03 (Lugano, Switzerland), PRO-VEâ04 (Toulouse, France), PRO-VEâ05 (Valencia, Spain), PRO-VEâ06 (Helsinki, Finland), and PRO-VEâ07 (GuimarÃ£es, Portugal). Topics - Affective computing in collaborative networks - Ambient intelligence, Virtual Labs - Awareness in collaborative systems - Breeding environments and brokerage - Business ecosystems & emerging collaboration forms - Business models in collaborative systems - Case studies: Manufacturing, Construction, Elderly care, Health Care, Emergency and Disaster Response, Bio-technology, Tourism, NGOs, etc. - Collaboration enabling technologies - Collaborative logistics and transportation systems - Collaborative machines and sensor networks - Dynamic Virtual Organizations - E-Contracting, Contracts management, Legal frameworks and Negotiation in CNs - e-Marketplaces and Communities - e-Services and service markets - Formal models and theories for CNs - ICT infrastructures, Architectures and Design of Collaborative Systems - Innovation and risk management - New value systems and performance measurement; benchmarking - Ontology and knowledge management - Professional Virtual Communities - Reference models and modelling approaches - Social network analysis for CNs - Societal impacts of CNs - Training and education on CNs - Trust modelling and building processes - VO inheritance and data mining The conference will include technical papers and discussion panels.

After many successful editions, this conference will be organized independently starting in 2008, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This Conference is sponsored by IEEE TCSC Technical Committee on Scalable Computing and IEEE Computer Society. *About Sao Paulo, Brazil* ========================= Sao Paulo, the 19a richest city of the world, is officially inserted in a larger metropolitan region which holds 39 towns in total, and a population of more than 19 million inhabitants (2005). It is one of the biggest financial centers of Brazil and the world. Its economy is going through a deep transformation. Once a city with a strong industrial character, Sao Paulo's economy has become increasingly based on the tertiary sector, focusing on services and businesses for the country. Sao Paulo is located on a plateau, part of the vast region known as the Brazilian Highlands, with an average elevation of around 800 metres (2,625 ft) above sea level - though at a distance of only about 70 kilometers (43 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean. This distance is covered by two highways, the Anchieta and the Imigrantes, that roll down the range, leading to the portuary city of Santos and the beach resort of Guaruja. Rolling terrain prevails within the urbanized areas of Sao Paulo but in the North of the city - where the Serra da Cantareira Range boasts higher elevations and a sizable remnant of the Atlantic Rain Forest. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] INGRID 2008 - CFP - Extended Deadline Datum: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:37:39 +0100 Von: Norbert Meyer <meyer(a)man.poznan.pl> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Please apologize for multiple copies, if any Call For Papers (Extended Deadline) ==================================================================================== INGRID 2008 3rd International Workshop on Distributed Cooperative Laboratories: Instrumenting the Grid April 9-11, 2008 Lacco Ameno, Island of Ischia, Italy ==================================================================================== The possibility to perform measurement tasks and experiments on complex telelaboratory structures is gaining momentum as a relevant aspect in a number of areas, from scientific and technological research, to environmental monitoring, to distance learning and training. Grid architectures (or, more generally, Service Oriented Architectures SOA), viewed as tools for the integration of distributed resources, play a significant role, not only as managers of computational resources, but increasingly as aggregators of measurement instrumentation and pervasive large-scale data acquisition platforms. In this context, the functionality of a grid architecture allows managing, maintaining and exploiting heterogeneous instrumentation and acquisition devices in a unified way, by providing standardized interfaces and common work environments to their users. This is achieved through the properties of isolation from the physical network and from the peculiarities of the instrumentation, granted by standard middleware, together with secure and flexible mechanisms to seek, access, and aggregate distributed resources. The 1st Workshop in this series was held in Sorrento, Italy, in July 2005, within the framework of the International Tyrrhenian Workshop on Digital Communications. It was devoted to the investigation of the main issues related to the sustainable realization of tele-laboratories, where real and virtual instrumentation can be shared and used in a collaborative environment. The second workshop was held in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, in April 2006. The current edition of the Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the effective exploitation of remote instrumentation on the Grid. These include middleware architecture, high-speed networking in support of Grid applications, wireless Grid for acquisition devices and sensor networks, Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning for real-time control, measurement instrumentation and methodology. The Workshop will be structured in technical sessions, some of which will be organized by leading researchers in the field, and will accommodate both invited and regular papers, selected on an open-call basis. The technical program will also include a poster session, where presentations will refer to short papers reporting prominent - but still in progress - research work.

In recent years, we have learned a great deal about the criteria which must be satisfied if ontology is to allow true information integration and automatic reasoning across data and information derived from different sources. The goal of this track is to survey existing biomedical ontologies and reform them in such a way as to allow true information integration in biomedical domain. Authors are invited to submit original papers exploring the theories, techniques, and applications of biomedical ontologies. Papers are invited (but not limited) to the following themes: * Biomedical Ontologies for Genetics, Proteomics, Diseases, Privacy etc. * Conceptual Models for Biological and Medical Data * Semantics in Biological Data Modeling * Use of semantics to manage Interoperation in Biomedical Databases * Semantic Web technologies and formalisms for Biomedical Data * Ontology representation and exchange languages for bioinformatics * Biomedical Ontologies and OWL * Biological Data Integration and Management using Ontologies * Biomedical Data Engineering using Ontologies * Application of Biomedical Ontologies for Heterogeneous Database Access * Query Optimization Techniques for Biomedical Database using Ontologies * Support of Ontologies for Biological Information Retrieval and Web Services * Change Management in Biomedical Ontologies * Tools for Development and Management of Biomedical Ontologies Important Dates 04 February 2008 Paper Submission Due 28 February 2008 Notification of acceptance 28 March 2008 Final camera-ready paper due 28 March 2008 Pre-registration deadline Paper Submission Procedures Submitted papers have to be original, containing new and original results. Use a maximum of 6 pages IEEE two-column format, including figures and references. All submissions will be done electronically via the CBMS 2008 web submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=CBMS2008). Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper at the CBMS 2008 Symposium. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two independent referees. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. High Quality submissions will be published in a special issue of Biomedical Ontologies Journal by Oxford University Press.
