Furthermore Model Driven Engineering suggests multidimensional system development with a domain specific modeling language for each dimension. With domain specific modeling languages software intensive systems design is moved from the implementation domain, to the problem domain. In this way productivity of software development process is improved because most of the design time is spent on solving problems in their domain, and implementation is left to be done (semi)automatically. The importance of non-functional properties (NFP) of software systems, such as availability, reliability, performance, security and so on is generally acknowledged by the software engineering community. They are at least important as functional, and must be considered during software system design. Estimation and evaluation of NFP are usually done with mathematical analytical models, simulation models, or measurement and assessment. The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling therefore seeks original, high-quality manuscripts for its special section on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages, to appear in 2009. This special section concentrates on topics of integrating non-functional system properties estimation and evaluation in process of software development with DSMLs including: �Foundations e.g., theory and principles of non-functional system properties estimation and evaluation integration in DSML engineering,... �Tools e.g. tool support for non-functional system properties annotation, estimation and evaluationo of DSML system models,... �Traceability e.g. non-functional system properties in DSMLs and traceability of requirements in implementation,... �Transformation e.g. non-functional properties of transformation, transformation dependent non-functional properties,... �Domain specific non-functional properties e.g. non-functional properties of embedded systems, health-care systems,... �Legal policies e.g. integration and assessment of legal policies of non-functional system properties in DSMLs,...

[Fwd: [computational.science] SPECIAL ISSUE on Security and Privacy in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks]
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] SPECIAL ISSUE on Security and Privacy in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks Datum: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:41:09 -0400 (EDT) Von: Guohong Cao <gcao(a)cse.psu.edu> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Sorry for receiving multiple copies. Call For Papers Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal SPECIAL ISSUE: "Privacy and Security in Wireless Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks" Wireless sensor and ad hoc networks have many applications in military, homeland security and other areas. Security is critical for such networks deployed in a hostile environment. In civilian applications, however, privacy concerns of these networks could become a more serious impediment to their popular adoption. Providing privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks is more challenging than those in traditional wired networks because wireless communications use shared medium and thus are vulnerable to many attacks. Providing privacy and security in sensor networks is further complicated by the network scale, the highly constrained system resources and the difficulty of dealing with node compromises. The main purpose of this special issue is to promote further research interests and activities on privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers in various aspects of privacy and security in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include: * Key distribution and management * Privacy issues in wireless sensor networks * Security and Privacy issues in vehicular networks * Location privacy and source anonymity * Secure localization and secure routing protocols * Trust management * Secure data aggregation * Authentication and authorization * Study of attack strategies, attack modeling * Study of tradeoffs between security and system performance * Denial of service attacks and prevention * Cross layer security and privacy attacks and solutions Authors are requested to prepare their papers according to the Guide For Authors on http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and to submit their paper to the online submission and reviewing system, at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc. They should choose the article type, Special Issue-Privacy & Security in WSN. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: November 3, 2008 Notification Date: February 20, 2009 Final Version: March 31, 2009 Publication Date: June 2009.

Aufgrund der ständig steigenden Menge an digital verfügbarer Information, den verschiedenen Informationsarten und verschiedenen Formaten gestaltet sich die Suche in Unternehmen sehr schwierig. Oft gibt es eine Vielzahl verschiedener Informationsquellen mit integrierten Suchmaschinen, die an die entsprechende Informationsquelle angepasst sind und hier gute Ergebnisse liefern, aber keine Informationen außerhalb dieser Quelle indexieren. Das Ergebnis ist eine unübersichtliche Informationslandschaft, in welcher der Suchende wissen muss, wo die gesuchte Information liegt und mit welcher Suchmaschine sie gefunden werden kann. Dieser Problembereich wird im Workshop adressiert. Der Workshop richtet sich sowohl an Anwender von Suchmaschinen als auch an Forscher auf diesem Gebiet. *** Themen des Workshops *** * Forschung: o Ansätze für einen zentralen Suchzugriff auf alle Informationen in einem Unternehmen o Management unterschiedlicher Zugriffsrechte o Methoden zur Verbesserung der Suchergebnisse angepasst auf die Umstände in Unternehmen, z.

[Fwd: [isworld] RefsQ '09 - Call for papers]

21 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] RefsQ '09 - Call for papers Datum: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 05:00:45 -0400 Von: Anne Persson <anne.persson(a)his.se> Antwort an: Anne Persson <anne.persson(a)his.se> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C a l l f o r p a p e r s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ R e f s Q ' 0 9 The 15th International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality Amsterdam, Holland, June 8-9, 2009 Submission: Abstracts: December 1, 2008 Papers: December 8, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.refsq.org (more news to come on this website -- stay tuned) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since 1994, when the first RefsQ took place, Requirements Engineering (RE) never ceased to be a dominant factor influencing the quality of software, systems and services. The RefsQ working conference series has now established itself as one of the leading international forums to discuss RE in its (many) relations to quality. RefsQ�09 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance the quality of RE�s products and processes, as well as reflections on current research and industrial RE practices. WORKING CONFERENCE FORMAT ------------------------- RefsQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive forum. Each session is organised in order to provoke discussion among the presenters of papers, pre-assigned discussants and all the other participants. SCOPE ----- We invite submissions on any aspect of RE. We encourage researchers and practitioners from the RE, software engineering, information systems, service science and embedded systems fields to present original work. Contributions from related areas such as formal methods, systems engineering, human computer interaction, economics, management and social sciences are very welcome for the insights they provide in RE. SPECIAL THEME: VALUE AND RISK ----------------------------- This year, we particularly welcome submissions that address the notions of value and risk in their relation to RE and quality. Ensuring that requirements, and eventually running systems, meet the values of the individuals and organisations that they are meant to serve has always been at the core of RE. Nowadays, continuously changing technology, ubiquitous software, ever-growing system complexity, and unheard of market pressure simultaneously with new business models based, e.g., on crowdsourcing, make the concern for value all the more present and challenging. The notion of value is inseparably connected to the notion of risk. We are challenged both by product risks, i.e. risks that threaten the value we want to achieve with the systems we build, and project risk, i.e. the risk of not achieving the intended value when building a system. Identifying and mitigating risks is a core task of RE. SUBMISSION ----------- We invite original submissions in various categories: � Full research papers (up to 15 pages), including solution papers, empirical studies, surveys, and comparative studies, � Experience reports (up to 15 pages), describing positive and negative experiences, � Vision papers (up to 6 pages) stating where the research in the field should be heading towards, � Problem statements (up to 6 pages) describing open issues of practical or theoretical nature, � Research previews (up to 6 pages) reporting on research results at a premature stage. See www.refsq.org for detailed instructions to authors about format, evaluation criteria and submission procedure. PUBLICATION ----------- The proceedings will be published in Springer�s Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

OVERVIEW ------------ Multimedia metadata description standards (e.g. MPEG-7/21) proposed in the recent years have been an important aspect of the creation of multimedia content and related semantic management. A number of multimedia metadata formats and standards have been tailored to specific application domains (e.g. broadcasting, multimedia mobile, etc.). The application of Semantic Web technologies to multimedia content has brought forward the use of Resource Description Framework, XTM, and Topic Maps for the description of multimedia metadata. But, in order to make multimedia applications ubiquitous, accessible, and interoperable, we need new mechanisms to describe and process contextual semantics of multimedia artefacts, especially over the Web. Contextual metadata, including linguistic semantics and visual semantics (e.g. semaphore) about multimedia artefacts, will play an important role in these mechanisms. The general aim of this special issue is to assess the current status and technologies, as well as to outline the major challenges and future perspectives, related to multimedia production, management, and exchange from a Semantic Web perspective in contextualized ubiquitous, accessible and interoperable environments. It aims to provide an overview of the state of the art and future directions in this field, by including a wide range of interdisciplinary contributions from various research groups. Overall, it aims to outline the rich potential of the multimedia area for advanced contextual metadata- and semantic-driven multimedia systems and semantic-oriented services along the Web 3.0 evolutions. TOPICS ----------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Multimedia Semantics - Contextual Multimedia Metadata - Contextual Multimedia Metadata Interoperability - Metadata Modeling and Contextual Ontologies for Multimedia Applications - Multimedia and Web 3.0 - Multimedia Authoring - Multimedia-based Access Control and Authorization - Management of Multimedia Metadata (Relational and XML Databases, Semantic Stores, etc.) - Multimedia Retrieval - Personalizing Multimedia Content - Cross-media Clustering - Mobile Applications - Multimedia Web Applications and Related Metadata Support - Novel and Challenging Multimedia Applications PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------ Manuscript must be submitted at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee after preparing it according to the instructions for authors (more details are provided at http://www.computer.org/multimedia/author.htm).

More and more researchers and companies worldwide are developing software artifacts and embodied devices which are inspired by human interactions and fascination with animals. The motivations for such work include generating artificial companionship, enabling therapeutic interactions, facilitating education as well, of course, as fun and entertainment. However, despite the commercial success of embodied devices such as Furby, Pleo and Nabaztag, and software such as Catz, Dogz and Nintendogs, the academic understanding of human interactions with such systems, and the parallels with human-animal (anthrozoological) interactions, remains limited. We invite submission of position papers (three to four pages in length) by researchers working on any relevant topic. These include: The role of virtual creatures in society Studies of the benefits of owning virtual pets Cross cultural studies of aspects of virtual creatures Zoomorphic social robots Ethical and cultural aspects of virtual companions Educational and developmental aspects of owning virtual creatures Comparisons of virtual with real pets and companion animals Innovative applications for virtual pets Cute virtual creatures and kawaii culture Aesthetics of design of virtual creatures Hardware and software descriptions of research creatures Kids and virtual pets versus kids and teddy bears Evaluations of commercial creatures Virtual pets as proxies, tool and applications for Web 2.0 For further information, see: http://www.catz-and-dogz.org.uk/ This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment may still contain software viruses, which could damage your computer system: you are advised to perform your own checks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] SBP09: Call for Papers - 2nd International Workshop on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction Datum: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 21:54:13 -0700 Von: Huan Liu <huanliu(a)asu.edu> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Referenzen: <f07941bd0810192047x70398391g7b1520431c6d5514(a)mail.gmail.com> Second International Workshop on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction http://www.public.asu.edu/~huanliu/sbp09<http://www.public.asu.edu/%7Ehuanliu/sbp09> Phoenix, Arizona March 31 - April 1, 2009 Phoenix, Arizona Proceedings published by Springer Social computing is concerned with the study of social behavior and social context based on computational systems. Behavioral modeling reproduces the social behavior, and allows for experimenting, scenario planning, and deep understanding of behavior, patterns, and potential outcomes. The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies provides an unprecedented environment of various social activities. Social computing facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, and prediction. Numerous interdisciplinary and interdependent systems are created and used to represent the various social and physical systems for investigating the interactions between groups, communities, or nation-states. This requires joint efforts to take advantage of the state-of-the-art research from multiple disciplines, social computing, and behavioral modeling in order to document lessons learned and develop novel theories, experiments, and methodologies in terms of social, physical, psychological, and governmental mechanisms. The goal is to enable us to experiment, create, and recreate an operational environment with a better understanding of the contributions from each individual discipline, forging joint interdisciplinary efforts. This workshop is interdisciplinary and provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from sociology, behavioral science, computer science, psychology, cultural study, information systems, operations research to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, principles, and methodologies, aiming to advance and deepen our understanding of social and behavioral computing and evaluation in help critical decision and policy making. The program will include invited speakers from government, industry, and academia, as well as research presentations and discussions. The first workshop (SBP'08) is a great success. The detailed information on SBP'08 proceedings, presentations and invited speakers can be found at http://www.public.asu.edu/~huanliu/sbp08<http://www.public.asu.edu/%7Ehuanliu/sbp08>. Papers or abstracts are solicited on research issues, theories, and applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, Psycho-cultural situation awareness Group formation and evolution Cultural patterns and representation Social conventions and social contexts Causal, and non-linear relationships Intentions, behaviors, and relations Modeling, projection, and forecasting Social network analysis and mining Group interaction and collaboration Group representation and profiling Influence process and recognition Public opinion representation and extraction Search, data, and inference Trust and reputation Sentiment representation and detection Social behaviors (norms, self-organizing, cooperation) Social dynamics and infectious disease modeling Simulation methodology Tools and case study Viral marketing and information diffusion Metrics and evaluation Data collection and benchmarks Model and analysis complexity Paper Format and Submission A paper or extended abstract (maximum 8 pages, shorter submissions are also welcome, in single column) should be submitted in PDF.
