-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CfP: IEEE WETICE CoMA Datum: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 17:31:01 +0100 Von: Manfred Bortenschlager <mborten(a)salzburgresearch.at> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ======================================================================== C A L L F O R P A P E R S ======================================================================== International IEEE Workshop on Coordination Models and Applications (CoMA): Knowledge in Pervasive Environments http://mowi.salzburgresearch.at/wetice At the 17th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE) http://www.wetice.org June 23-25, 2008 Rome, Italy ======================================================================== WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES ==================================== Coordination is significantly responsible for the effectiveness, performance and quality of complex systems and as a concept it is not restricted to computer-based systems. The concept is cross-sectional and a great impact may be reached in different application areas if effective methods and models can be designed, implemented, validated, and deployed. Coordination, moreover, is an essential prerequisite for collaborative and telecooperative applications, which are of prime interest to the WETICE series. The CoMA workshop aims at the interdisciplinary aspects of coordination in general, and examines their application to ubiquitous and pervasive environments in particular. The overall goal is to support the users' collaborative intentions in such environments as effectively, imperceptibly, and unobtrusively as possible. The role of the use of data based on formal knowledge models - as being promoted in the Semantic Web initiative - is an emerging approach to support collaboration and the challenges associated with co-ordination of knowledge are a new focus of this workshop. The goal of this workshop is to bring together on the one hand, scientists who are either conducting research directly in pervasive computing, coordination models and languages as well as semantic coordination systems, or indirectly in related fields such as distributed knowledge systems, collaborative systems, CSCW, systems research, complexity management, or process management. On the other hand, this workshop particularly welcomes the contributions of researchers and/or practitioners who concentrate on concrete applications where a combination of coordination, pervasive systems and potentially semantic data appears to be beneficial, such as emergency management or health care systems, and can report on that. The workshop particularly focuses on discussions about coordination, pervasiveness and knowledge, the current state of research efforts, and practical experiences with the clear vision of generating mutual benefits for the participants. To support this, opportunities for showcases, demonstrations, and in-depth discussions will be provided. Eventually, interdisciplinary and joint efforts shall be fostered and future co-operations on research activities shall be triggered. TOPICS AND APPLICATIONS ======================= All topics related to the interdisciplinary aspects of coordination are welcome as much as these are in some way relevant for or applicable to ubiquitous and pervasive systems. We particularly welcome submissions addressing issues of pervasive knowledge coordination. The following incomprehensive listing gives examples of such potential topics: * Theoretical coordination models and foundations for pervasive systems * Coordination models and languages for knowledge (using semantic data models such as RDF or OWL) * Coordination middleware (such as space- or event-based approaches) * Coordination mechanisms in (semantic) service-oriented architectures * Distributed and P2P-based coordination * Coordination in multi-agent systems * Coordination dependent on context * Location-based coordination models * Strategies to cope with heterogeneity, dynamics, mobility and/or pervasiveness * Integration of and mediation between coordination systems * Case studies, evaluations and assessments about the benefits of (semantic) coordination * Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination Coordination and contained topics are multidisciplinary and, hence, can be viewed as orthogonal to a multitude of pervasive application areas which shall be explored in this workshop, too. Examples include but are not limited to: # Collaborative applications like CSCW, groupware, or games # Emergency management systems # Coordination in highly dynamic environments # Health care systems # Decision-support systems # Geo-Collaboration # Operations research # Complexity-, constraint-, conflict-, and workflow management # Special-purpose coordination languages and tools IMPORTANT DATES =============== Full paper submission: March 3, 2008 Authors Notification: April 21, 2008 Camera-ready versions: May 26, 2008 WETICE advanced registration with discount: TBA WETICE workshops and on-site registration: June 23-25, 2008 SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS ========================== See workshop website: http://mowi.salzburgresearch.at/wetice CO-CHAIRS ========= Lyndon Nixon Dept.

[Fwd: [wkwi] Call for Papers: Virtual Communities@AMCIS2008]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] Call for Papers: Virtual Communities@AMCIS2008 Datum: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 07:02:40 +0100 (CET) Von: Jan Marco Leimeister <Leimeister(a)in.tum.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen. Freundliche Gruesse, Jan Marco Leimeister cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++ Call for Papers: Virtual Communities America´s Conference on Information Systems 2008 Toronto, Canada August 14-17, 2008 (supported by Fachgruppe CSCW of Gesellschaft fuer Informatik, http://www.fgcscw.gi-ev.de/) Virtual communities based on message boards, chat rooms, user groups and blogs have emerged as high activity domains on the Internet. Virtual communities are designed for a variety of purposes that could range from Communities of Interest, Communities of Relationship, Gaming Communities, and Communities of Transaction to Peer-to-Peer Communities or Mobile Communities and Second Life. The significance of these communities is evident by the impact they have on information generation and transmission, and socialization. For example, today, blogs are quickly becoming a primary source of information in a variety of domains. The dynamic and interactive nature of these forums makes them very attractive for the users. An additional value offered by many of these communities is their ability to support socialization and offer an identity for the participants. While most virtual communities share these characteristics, it is also important to recognize that virtual communities are not homogeneous; they differ significantly based on the domain, purpose and benefits. For example, virtual investing-related communities are focused on offering an important forum for individual investors to discuss stock performance. Open source communities, on the other hand, are virtual communities that offer a platform for participants to collaborate and produce a product of value to the entire community. Within the field of information systems researchers are interested at studying interaction patterns, transaction processes, management aspects, business models, and design aspects of information systems and services for virtual communities. Community members interact via digital media and contribute value in the form of content, reviews, and recommendations. Related issues are trust, network effects, transaction costs and the design of services. Well-organized communities even expand their power across various channels and into the Offline world. Empirical and conceptual work will be welcome for this Mini-Track. Despite the increasing popularity of virtual communities, several questions relating to virtual communities remain largely unexplored. We call for papers on social as well as business communities. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): - Social, political and economic impact of Virtual Communities - Community models, platforms, services, and interactions, multi-channel communities - Management and organizational behavior of communities - Community-related business models - Transaction-oriented Virtual Communities, customer collaboration - Peer-to-Peer or mobile services for Virtual Communities - Case studies and empirical studies, best practices and lessons learned - Motivation of participants in virtual communities - Benefits of participation in virtual communities - Competition among virtual communities - Information dispersion in virtual communities - Typologies of virtual communities - Evolution of and innovation in virtual communities - Gaming Communities and Second Life This mini-track builds on the success of the preceding AMCIS mini-tracks on Virtual Communities. During the last six years we have been building a community of researchers who are interested in the field of Virtual Communities and related issues. Information on last years? mini-tracks is available at: http://www.virtual-community.org/index.php/AMCIS Important Dates: Abstract Due (optional): Monday, February 5, 2008 Papers Due: Monday, March 3, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: Monday, April 14, 2008 Camera Ready Copy Due: Monday, April 28, 2008 Information about Conference and Submission Formats can be found at: http://www.business.mcmaster.ca/amcis2008/ For questions about the mini-track please contact mini-track chairs at AMCISMT0862008(a)gmail.com Minitrack Chairs: Achim Dannecker, Universität der Bundeswehr Muenchen, Germany Jan Marco Leimeister, Technische Univeristaet Muenchen, Germany Balaji Rajagopalan, Oakland University, USA E-Mail: : AMCISMT0862008(a)gmail.com Web: http://www.virtual-community.org cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++

Software engineers and project managers are striving to address various problems observed during the different phases of the software development life cycle. However, though related research has seen the development of some important and useful software engineering paradigms, their technology-transfer on a larger scale has been extremely gradual. The recent emergence of computational intelligence techniques in software engineering has opened doors for exploiting the currently developed and mature techniques of fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, case-based reasoning, machine learning, knowledge-based systems, evolutionary computing, and expert systems. The Special Issue on Software Engineering with Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning will focus on the current research trends in the fusion of the computational intelligence, machine learning and software engineering domains. The topics of particular interest to the special track include but are not limited to: Fuzzy Logic Artificial Neural Networks Case-Based Reasoning Knowledge- and Rule-Based Systems Evolutionary Computing Hybrid Intelligent Systems Machine Learning and Data Mining Software Requirements and Specifications Software Cost and Effort Estimation Agent-Oriented Software Engineering Formal Methods Software Measures and Soft Computing Software Testing Software Verification and Validation Software Quality and Reliability Estimation Context-aware Software Systems Autonomic Systems Web-based Systems Quality of Software Engineering Data Submissions can be made, via email, in either Word or PDF format to Marek Reformat (Marek.Reformat(a)ualberta.ca).
