-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Semantic Technologies for User Modeling and Adaptation Datum: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:26:29 -0500 Von: Alfred Kobsa <kobsa(a)uci.edu> Antwort an: Alfred Kobsa <kobsa(a)uci.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ************************************************************************* Semantic Technologies for User Modeling and Adaptation Special Issue of User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction: The Journal of Personalization Research Guest editors: Nicola Henze and Gerd Stumme http://www.kbs.uni-hannover.de/~henze/semtech.html Deadline: January 31st, 2009 ************************************************************************** Recent trends in the semantic web focus on processing the meaning of information as an additional, rich source for the ultimate goal to answer information requests with appropriate, best fitting information. To this end, measurements are required which need to take into account the specific information request, including the person behind the request, the personal setting, preferences, and context of the person. To bring semantic technologies to its full potential, the capturing of the user's intention, and its modeling and representation in formats that comply with semantic standards are essential. This special issue of the User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction journal focuses on best practices, current research and promising trends for improving user modeling and adaptation with semantic technologies, and enhancing semantic technologies and applications with user modeling and adaptation techniques. Relevant topics of this special issue particularly include the following ones: Architectures: � Architectural solutions for user modeling and adaptation in semantics-based, cooperative information applications � User modeling and adaptation in architectures for web services and semantic web services � Solutions for merging or bridging multiple adaptive applications User Models: � Co-operation between de-centralized user models and user profiles, syndication of user profile information � Semantic representation formats and languages for user intention modeling � Privacy protection through semantic information � User awareness and explanation strategies for transparent, user-controlled user modeling Personalization Techniques: � Personalization as value-added services � Enhancing personalization algorithms with semantic technologies � Best practices and promising personalization techniques, re-usability, and semantic descriptions of the personalization process � User awareness and explanation strategies for transparent, user-controllable personalization � Personalized access to semantic web applications � Personalization strategies in web 2.0 Analysis � Web mining (content, linkage, usage) and learning for detecting user intentions � Analysis of user networks and web communities Enablers � Reasoning about semantic information and user demands � Social nets and web communities for user modeling and adaptation � Folksonomies, taxonomies and ontologies as enablers of the user modeling and personalization process Applications � Applications demonstrating the power of semantic technologies for advanced user modeling and adaptation, e.g. personalized semantic search, the personal semantic desktop, personalized information filter, etc. Submissions to this special issue need to enhance the state of the art in both disciplines, semantic web and semantic technologies as well as user modeling and adaptation. They are requested to bridge disciplines, e.g. by showing how user modeling and personalization benefits from semantic technologies, or how user modeling and adaptation techniques help to realize the semantic web. How to Submit Submissions to the special issue should follow the UMUAI formatting guidelines and submission instructions available at http://www.umuai.org/paper_submission.html. Each submission should note that it is intended for the special issue on Semantic Technologies for User Modeling and Adaptation. Potential authors are asked to notify by email the guest editors as soon as possible of their intent to submit an article (see below for the relevant contact information). Sometime thereafter, but no later than a month prior to the submission deadline, they should submit a tentative title and a one-page abstract to allow for feedback and the formation of a reviewer panel. UMUAI is an archival journal that publishes mature and substantiated research results on the dynamic adaptation of computer systems to their human users, and the role that a model of the system about the user plays in this context. Many articles in UMUAI are quite comprehensive and describe the results of several years of work. Consequently, UMUAI gives unlimited space to authors (so long as what they write is important). Authors whose paper exceeds 40 pages in journal format (including illustrations and references) are however requested to supply a short justification upon submission that explains why a briefer discussion of their research results would not be advisable. Review Process Submissions will undergo the normal review process, and will be reviewed by three established researchers selected from a panel of reviewers formed for the special issue. Guest Editors Nicola Henze henze(a)kbs.uni-hannover.de IVS - Semantic Web Group Leibniz University Hannover, Germany Gerd Stumme stumme(a)cs.uni-kassel.de Fachgebiet Wissensverarbeitung Kassel University, Germany If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask the guest editors Nicola Henze (henze(a)kbs.uni-hannover.de) or Gerd Stumme (stumme(a)cs.uni-kassel.de).

[Fwd: [isworld] cfp: ICSE workshop on developing scientific software]
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Nov '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] cfp: ICSE workshop on developing scientific software Datum: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:37:17 -0000 Von: J.A.Segal <J.A.Segal(a)open.ac.uk> Antwort an: J.A.Segal <J.A.Segal(a)open.ac.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Workshop on Software Engineering for Computational Science and Engineering Saturday, May 23, 2009 Co-located with ICSE 2009 - Vancouver, Canada http://www.cs.ua.edu/~SECSE09 <http://www.cs.ua.edu/~SECSE09> Overview This workshop is concerned with the development of: * Scientific software applications, where the focus is on directly solving scientific problems. These applications include, but are not limited to, large parallel models/simulations of the physical world (high performance computing systems). * Applications that support scientific endeavors. Such applications include, but are not limited to, systems for managing and/or manipulating large amounts of data. A particular software application might fit into both categories (for example, a weather forecasting system might both run climatology models and produce visualisations of big data sets) or just one (for example, nuclear simulations fit into the first category and laboratory information management software into the second). For brevity, we refer to both categories under the umbrella title of 'Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E)'. Despite its importance in our everyday lives, CS&E has historically attracted little attention from the software engineering community. Indeed, the development of CS&E software differs significantly from the development of business information systems, from which many of the software engineering best practices, tools and techniques have been drawn. These differences include, for example: · CS&E projects are often exploring unknown science, making it difficult to determine a concrete set of requirements a priori. · For the same reason, a test oracle may not exist (for example, the physical data needed to validate a simulation may not exist). The lack of an oracle clearly poses challenges to the development of a testing strategy. · The software development process for CS&E application development may differ profoundly from traditional software engineering processes. For example, one scientific computing workflow, dubbed the "lone researcher", involves a single scientist developing a system to test a hypothesis. Once the system runs correctly and returns its results, the scientist has no further need of the system. This approach contrasts with more typical software engineering lifecycle models, in which the useful life of the software is expected to begin, not end, after the first correct execution. · CS&E applications often require more computing resources than are available on a typical workstation. Existing solutions for providing more computational resources (e.g., clusters, supercomputers, grids) can be difficult to use, resulting in additional software engineering challenges. · CS&E developers may have no formal knowledge of software engineering tools and techniques, and may be developing software in a very isolated fashion. For example, it is common for a single scientist in a lab to take on the (formal or informal) role of software developer and to have to rely solely on web resources to acquire the relevant development knowledge. Recent endeavors to bring the software engineering and CS&E communities together include two special issues of IEEE Software (July/August 2008 and January 2009) and this current ICSE workshop series. The 2008 workshop [http://www.ua.edu/~SECSE08 <http://www.ua.edu/~SECSE08> ] brought together computational scientists, software engineering researchers and software developers to explore issues such as: · Those characteristics of CS&E which distinguish it from general business software development; · The different contexts in which CS&E developments take place; · The quality goals of CS&E; · How the perceived chasm between the CS&E and software engineering communities might be bridged. This 2009 workshop will build on the results of the previous workshop. Similar to the format of the 2008 workshop, in addition to presentation and discussion of the accepted position papers, significant time during the 2009 workshop will be devoted to the continuation of discussions from previous workshops and to general open discussion.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 1st CFP: Workshop on Domain Engineering in conjunction with ICSE'09 (DE@ICSE'09) Datum: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 04:20:42 -0500 Von: Iris Reinhartz-Berger <iris.rberger(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Iris Reinhartz-Berger <iris.rberger(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> DE@ICSE'09 Workshop on Domain Engineering In Conjunction with ICSE�09 May 17th, Vancouver, Canada http://www.bgu.ac.il/~sturm/DE@ICSE09/ Domain Engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with building reusable assets, such as specification sets, patterns, and components, in specific domains. A domain in this context can be defined as an area of knowledge that uses common concepts for describing phenomena, requirements, problems, capabilities, and solutions. The purpose of domain engineering is to identify, model, construct, catalog, and disseminate artifacts that represent the commonalities and differences within a domain. Although being applicable to different engineering disciplines, domain engineering methods and domain specific languages (DSL) have been recently receiving special attention in the software engineering era. Some of the reasons for this interest are the increasing variability of applications, the need to obtain and share expertise in different, evolving domains, and the trend towards reusing software artifacts and knowledge about them. Domain engineering addresses two main layers: the domain layer, which deals with the representation of domain elements, and the application layer, which deals with the software applications and systems artifacts related to the domain. More specifically, the programs, applications, and systems are included in the application layer, whereas their common and variable characteristics, as can be described, for example, by patterns or emerging standards, are generalized and presented in the domain layer. Similarly to software engineering, domain engineering includes three main activities: domain analysis, domain design, and domain implementation, which are carried out in the domain layer. However, domain engineering also supports inter-layer activities, namely interactions that exist between the domain and application layers. Specifically, domain layer artifacts may be used for creation and validation of the specifications of application layer artifacts, while applications may be generalized into domain artifacts in a process of knowledge elicitation. Domain engineering as a discipline has practical significance as it deals with methods and techniques that may help reduce time-to-market, product cost, and projects risks on one hand, and improve product quality and performance on a consistent basis on the other hand. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of domain engineering in order to define the topic, identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions, and discuss visions for the future of the area. In particular, the workshop will focus on the interaction between information systems engineering and domain engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Methods and techniques to support domain engineering · Product line lifecycle engineering · Development and management of domain assets · Domain-driven software engineering · Testing, modeling, and formal verification of domain and application artifacts. · Application derivation (i.e., how to use domain artifacts in the application layer) · Variability management · Domain-specific languages, frameworks, and architectures · Domain engineering techniques in support of reuse, validation, and knowledge management · Theoretical and empirical evaluation of domain engineering methods and techniques · Case studies and practice reports related to domain engineering Submission Guidelines Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to the purpose of the workshop. The workshop will accept three types of submissions: 1. Completed Research � this type of papers should include evidence to support the contribution (e.g. in the form of data analysis, proof of concept, or case studies) and discussion on research findings and their theoretical and practical significance. The paper should not exceed 5,000 words (excluding references and appendices). Accepted completed research papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the workshop. 2. Research-In-Progress � this type of papers can report on research that is under way with preliminary results available at the time of the conference. The paper should not exceed 2,500 words (excluding references and appendices). Accepted research-in-progress papers will be allocated 15 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the workshop. 3. Position papers � this type of papers can include lucid and well-supported statements and suggestions on domain engineering, e.g., directions for the discipline, open questions, criticism on the state-of-the-art, and novel approaches. Accepted position papers will be allocated 15 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the workshop. All three types of papers may refer to theoretical and/or practical issues. Papers must conform to the ICSE 2009 format (see http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/format/). The paper type (completed research, research-in-progress, or a position paper) should explicitly be indicated after the paper title. In addition, the paper abstract should not be longer than 150 words. As the workshop will apply double-blind reviews process, the papers should not indicate their authors. Papers should be submitted through the on-line system at http://www.bgu.ac.il/~sturm/DE@ICSE09/DE_ICSE09_Submission.htm.. Publication The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, on its quality and on the potential to stimulate discussion in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the online ICSE'2009 workshop proceedings. In addition, authors of some selected papers will be asked to consider submitting revised version of the papers as chapters in a book on Domain Engineering to be edited by the workshop co-chairs and published by Springer.
