Mission ------- Service-oriented computing has emerged as the most promising design paradigm for distributed information systems. The vision of service-oriented computing is to capture business relevant functionalities of existing software systems as services and use service composition to form composite applications. While this vision has yet to be achieved in practise, in particular the application of intelligent systems and techniques promises significant advancements for an adaptive and reliable construction and management of service-oriented applications and systems. The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss recent significant developments at the intersections of service-oriented computing and intelligent systems and technologies, and to promote cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques between these fields. In particular, the workshop focuses on techniques from multi-agent systems and artificial intelligence research for an automated construction and management of service-oriented applications/composite services. This includes critical challenges such as agent-based service composition management, self-managed service compositions, intelligent management of service quality concerns, adaptive and reliable evolution and optimization of services. Topics ------ ISM'09 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that address intelligent management of service-oriented applications and systems in general or in the context of specific domains. Workshop topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Intelligent techniques for determining quality requirements for SOA-based systems * Intelligent deployment, monitoring, control and exception-handling for service execution and delivery * Agent-based negotiation and management of service quality aspects * Intelligent Service Level Agreement lifecycle management mechanisms (development, negotiation, deployment, monitoring, compliance evaluation, termination) * Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of services and processes * Intelligent management frameworks and platforms for service-oriented computing * Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography * Self-managed service compositions and processes that exhibit intelligent adaptive and autonomic properties * Integration and management of agent-based services and service-oriented agents * Resource models for intelligent management of specific QoS requirements * Intelligent management of the QoS mapping between business processes and the underlying SOA-based systems * Autonomic and intelligent QoS management in SOA-based systems * Applications and case studies of intelligent service management Key dates --------- * Submission Deadline: 05 December 2008 * Notification of Acceptance: 05 January 2009 * Camera-ready Submission: 15 January 2009 * Workshop: 24 March 2009 Submission and publication -------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] The 5th International Symposium on Web and Mobile Information Services Datum: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 20:41:45 -0300 Von: Elhadi Shakshuki <elhadi.shakshuki(a)gmail.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> -----------------Call for papers -------------------------- The 5th International Symposium on Web and Mobile Information Services May 26-29, 2009, Bradford, UK http://cms.brookes.ac.uk/staff/MusbahSagar/WAMIS-2009/ In conjunction with the 23rd IEEE AINA Conference http://www.aina-conference.org/2009 --------------------------------------------------------- Advances in the Web and mobile technologies offer new and exciting services to users in various domains such as e-business, healthcare, entertainment, and scientific activities. Various organizations, academic institutions and industries are putting enormous efforts and resources in the research and development of the Web and mobile technologies through the development of new initiatives and technologies. For instance, W3C Mobile Web Initiative aims to provide mobile devices with access to the vast information available on the Web and to enable information services to be adapted to the needs of users and the characteristics of mobile devices. With the advances in mobile technologies, Web also gets richer in its contents and usability. In addition to its widespread usability in the e-commerce, education, and media, it has established its roots in exchanging and sharing information in social communities. For example, user-generated contents in the social networks have transformed the Web into a new era or the Web2.0 - these contents comprise a wealth of information often involving multimedia data such as audio, video, pictures and blogs. Further, NTT DoCoMo i-Mode technology provides a cheaper access to the web contents such as stocks prices, news, email, and financial services. These new developments however introduce many new challenging problems to researchers. One of the major issues is to deal with the resource scarcity in mobile environment. Though mobile devices and wireless networks are improving their resources, they are still far behind the wired networks and desktop PCs in terms of bandwidth, memory, processing speed and battery powers. Recent efforts such as W3C "Mobile Web Best Practices" propose ways for designing web contents by taking into account the characteristics of mobile devices and wireless networks. There are still various unresolved issues in the web and mobile services. For example, users want mobile devices to react to the changes in locations, context, contents and variation in network bandwidth while accessing Web contents. This symposium aims to bring together researchers in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and discuss the issues and opportunities to explore new research directions and develop new ideas. We strongly welcome submissions that include results which advance the state of the art relating to the theme of the symposium, either through theoretical analysis or experimental analysis. The main topics to be addressed include (but not limited to): Architectures for Web and mobile information services Agent and multi-agent systems and their applications Application of W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Context oriented service provisioning Creation and consumption of social network contents Data models and query languages Dependency and reliability Developing and managing Web2.0 services Fault tolerance and exception handling Location aware services Middleware support for web and mobile services Monitoring of services Performance models Search and discovery techniques Semantic web technologies and their applications Transaction and workflow models Trust and privacy in Web and mobile services Web services and their applications Context-awareness, context sharing Computer-mediated mobile interaction Management of the dynamics of the environment Management of continuously evolving information Mobile devices for mobile actors Connecting net for mobile agents Publication: Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE CS Press. A selection of best papers will be published in a special issue of the journal Knowledge Engineering Review Important Dates: Paper Submission: 25 October 2008 Author Registration: 8 December 2008 Manuscript Deadline: 22 December 2008 General Chair Patrick Brezillon - LIP6, Universite Pierre Marie Curie, Paris, France Programme Chair Ghita Kouadri Mostefaoui, Oxford University, UK Programme Committee David Taniar, Monash University Australia Boris Dragovic, KlikMee, Serbia and Montenegro Christos K.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Special Journal Issue IEEE TKDE: Call for Contributions Datum: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:16:43 +0200 Von: Adrian Paschke <paschke(a)in.tum.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Dear Colleagues, Please consider to participate in RuleML-2008 (http://2008.ruleml.org/) which will be in about 3 weeks in Orlando, Florida, collocated with the world largest Business Rules Forum. We have a very interesting program with renowned speakers, a prestigious rules Challenge, a special session + panel about Rule standards, etc. We are also editing a special issue of IEEE TKDE. Please consider to contribute to this issue and forward the open call for contributions (below) to your interested colleagues. Thanks, Adrian [ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ] =========================================================================== CALL FOR Contributions Rule Representation, Interchange and Reasoning in Distributed, Heterogeneous Environments Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering Guest Editors: N. Bassiliades, G. Governatori, A. Paschke, J. Dix =========================================================================== In recent years rule based technologies have enjoyed remarkable adoption in two areas: (1) Business Rule Processing and (2) Web-Centered Reasoning. The first trend is caused by the software development life cycle, which needs to be accelerated at reduced cost. The second trend is related to the Semantic Web and Service-oriented technologies, which aim to turn the Web into a huge repository of cross-referenced, machine-understandable data and processes. For both trends, rules can be used to extract, derive, transform, and integrate information in a platform-independent manner. While early rule engines and environments were complex, expensive to maintain, and not very user friendly, the current generation of rule technology provides enhanced usability, scalability and performance, and is less costly. A general advantage of using rules is that they are usually represented in a platform independent manner, often using XML. This fits well into today's distributed, heterogeneous Web-based system environments. Rules represented in standardized Web formats can be discovered, interchanged and invoked at runtime within and across Web systems, and can be interpreted and executed on any platform. This special issue solicits state-of-the-art approaches, solutions and applications in the area of Rule Representation, Reasoning and Interchange in the context of distributed, (partially) open, heterogeneous environments, such as the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing. We strongly advise that solicited contributions should clearly identify the target class of applications they enable. ======= Topics ======= Original contributions, not currently under review or accepted by another journal, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following: - Rule Representation and Languages * Rule languages for exchanging and processing information through the web * Representation and meta-annotation of rules and rule sets for publication and interchange * Event-driven/action rule languages and models * Rule-based event processing languages and rule-based complex event processing * Modeling of executable rule specifications and tool support * Natural-language processing of rules * Graphical processing, modeling and rendering of rules * Rules in web 2.0, web 3.0, semantic web technologies and web intelligence research - Reasoning and Rule Engines * Execution models, rule engines, and environments * Rule-based (multi-valued) reasoning with and representing uncertain and fuzzy information * Rule-based reasoning with non-monotonic negation, modalities, deontic, temporal, priority, scoped or other rule qualifications * Rule-based default reasoning with default logic, defeasible logic, and answer set programming * Compilation vs. interpretation approaches of rules * Hybrid rule systems - Rule Interchange and Integration * Interchange and refactoring of rule bases in heterogeneous execution environments * Rule-based agility and its role in middleware * Communication between rule based systems using interchange formats and processing / communication middleware * Information integration of external data and domain knowledge into rules * Homogeneous and heterogeneous integration of rules and ontologies * Extraction and reengineering of platform-independent, interchangeable rules and rule models from existing platform-specific resources * Rule interchange standards and related industry interchange formats * Incorporation of rule technology into distributed enterprise application architectures * Interoperation between different rule formats and ontological domain conceptualization * Translation of interchangeable and domain-independent rule formats and rule models into executable technical rule specifications - Rule Engineering and Repositories * Verification and validation of interchanged rule bases in heterogeneous execution environments * Practical solutions tackling the real-world software engineering requirements of rule-based systems in open, distributed environments * Collaborative authoring, modeling and engineering of rule specifications and rule repositories * Management and maintenance of distributed rule bases and rule repositories during their lifecycle - Web Rule Applications * Applications and integration of rules in web standards * Applications of rules in the semantic web and pragmatic web * Applications based on (semantic) web rule standardization or standards-proposing efforts * Applications of rules in e.g. legal reasoning, compliance rules, security, government, security, risk management, trust and proof reasoning, etc. * E-contracting and automated negotiations with rule-based declarative strategies * Specification, execution and management of rule-based policies and electronic contracts * Rule-based software agents and (web) services * Theoretical and/or empirical evaluation of rule-based system performance and scalability ======================= Submission Guidelines ======================= Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published in recent issues of the journal or at http://www.computer.org/tkde/.

Advanced safeguards are required to protect the information assets of not only large but also small and distributed enterprises. New approaches to information security, assurance and privacy, including policies and certifications, are now being required. The security and assurance of strategic corporate information has become the foremost concern of many organizations, and in order to assure this, methods and techniques must be conceptualized for all enterprises both from a functional and technical viewpoint. Your contributions in the form of research paper, panel proposals and case studies are invited. All submissions are considered for publication in the Journal of Information System Security (http://www.jissec.org) and in special issues of other major publications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] AAAI Spring Symposium on Intelligent EventProcessing 2009 Datum: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:29:07 +0200 Von: Adrian Paschke <paschke(a)in.tum.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, CEP-Interest(a)yahoogroups.com, ebxml-dev(a)lists.ebxml.org, ws-sx-dev(a)lists.oasis-open.org, ws-tx-dev(a)lists.oasis-open.org, wsbpel-dev(a)lists.oasis-open.org, SIGECOM-TALK(a)ACM.ORG, public-sws-ig(a)w3.org [ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ] AAAI Spring Symposium on Intelligent Event Processing AAAI Spring Symposium Wednesday, March 23-25, 2009 at Stanford University http://icep-aaai09.fzi.de/ ===================================================================== Event-based systems are now gaining increasing momentum as witnessed by current efforts in areas including event-driven architectures, business process management and modeling, Grid computing, Web services notifications, and message-oriented middleware. They become ever important in various application domains, ranging from traditional business applications, like supply-chain management, to the entertainment industry, like on-line gaming applications. However, the current status of development is just the tip of the iceberg compared with the impact that event processing could achieve, as already reported by market research companies. Indeed, existing approaches are dealing primarily with the syntactical (but very scalable) processing of low-level signals and primitive actions, which usually goes with an inadequate treatment of the notions of time, context or concurrency (for example, synchronization). For example, some of the current event processing products are descendents of the active database research that misses efficient (formal) handling of termination, priority ordering, and confluence in rule bases. AI and especially symbolic (for example, logic-based) approaches provide native background for the (formal) representation of the above mentioned missing concepts, enabling evolution from event processing systems into intelligent reactive systems. The work done in temporal logic, spatial reasoning, knowledge representation, ontologies, and so on enables more declarative representation of events and actions and their semantic processing. Contextual reasoning can support complex event prediction. Transactional logic can be used for ensuring the consistency between highly dependent processes in a formal way. On the other side, the heterogeneous and highly distributed nature of event-processing systems, especially on the web, provides new challenges for AI and logics, like the contextualized reasoning over large stream data, scalable mapping of complex structures, or distributed approximate reasoning, to name but a few. Possible symposium topics comprise, but are not limited to: ----------------------------------------------------------- Modeling * Conceptual modeling in event-driven processing * Modeling context in event-driven processing * Event processing languages * Business rules and event-driven processing * Editors for complex events * Complex event processing in highly distributed AI applications * Modeling reactive systems using event-driven processing * Event stream processing * Event-driven architecture for Intelligent Event Processing Discovery * Complex event patterns mining * Temporal aspects in event mining * Prediction of events * Discovery of similar event * Discovery of unknown events * Dealing with missing events Reasoning/Processing * Complex event detection * The role of logic in event processing * Distributed reasoning for events * Reasoning with uncertain events * Reasoning under real-time constraints * Complexity in reasoning for Intelligent Event Processing Advanced Applications * Distributed event processing as a basis for AI applications * Financial trading * Web / Internet of Things * Entertainment * Ubiquitous Computing/ Ambient Intelligence * Business Activity Monitoring * AI in global epidemiology monitoring systems * Other domains Submissions ----------- Papers should be prepared using the two-column AAAI conference paper format. Long papers should be at most six pages; short papers at most two pages. Papers must be submitted electronically via the symposium website. Submissions must be in PDF using the workshop submission system for SSS09, at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sss09 More Information http://icep-aaai09.fzi.de/ Important Dates --------------- Deadline for submissions: October 31st, 2008 (12.00 AM, GMT) Notification of acceptance: December 9th, 2008 Camera-ready versions: January 16th, 2009 Symposium: March 23-25, 2009 Organizing Committee --------------------- Nenad Stojanovic, chair, (FZI - Research Center for Information Technologies at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany), Andreas Abecker (FZI, Germany), Opher Etzion (IBM Research Lab, Haifa, Israel).
