Abawajy, Ajith Abraham, Hani Hagras To be published in "Computer Communications and Networks" published by Springer Verlag, Germany ________________________________ Book Objectives & Mission: Pervasive computing, often synonymously called ubiquitous computing, is an emerging field of research that brings in revolutionary paradigms for computing models in the 21st century. Pervasive computing is the trend towards increasingly ubiquitous connected computing devices in the environment, a trend being brought about by a convergence of advanced electronic - and particularly, wireless - technologies and the Internet. Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices—such as laptops, iPods, personal digital assistants (PDA), and cellular telephones—have stimulated the development of intelligent pervasive multimedia applications. These key technologies are creating a multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, and governmental domains. Yet many challenges remain, especially when it comes to efficiently indexing, mining, querying, searching, and retrieving multimedia data. In this book, we would like to gather the latest advances of various topics in intelligent multimedia for pervasive computing and related areas to showcase their results, launch new ideas, as well as to interact with colleagues from these areas and report how organizations can gain competitive advantages by applying the different techniques in the real-world scenarios. Survey articles that emphasize the research and application of intelligent multimedia in pervasive computing in a particular domain are greatly welcome. ________________________________ Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: * * Intelligent Multimedia systems in pervasive computing; * Intelligent Multimedia Information Security in pervasive computing * Intelligent Multimedia streaming techniques and architectures pervasive computing; * Privacy in Pervasive Computing * Mobile content and application distribution networks; * Agent and Intelligent pervasive Computing; * Service and Semantic intelligent Multimedia in pervasive computing; * Grid, P2P and Scalable in intelligent Multimedia in pervasive computing; * Intelligent Buildings and pervasive Computing * Interactive multimedia systems and applications; * Multimedia languages for pervasive intelligent computing; * Security in Ubiquitous databases; * GRID and distributed systems for intelligent multimedia content production and retrieval; and * Web services for content distribution; distribution with P2P architectures * Novel Applications that exploit the unique set of advantages offered by intelligent pervasive multimedia computing techniques, including home-networked entertainment, intelligent Building and intelligent ambient and games. * Others ________________________________ Submission Guidelines and important dates Researchers and practitioners are kindly invited to send on or before March. 25 2008 a short email to jemal(a)deakin.edu.au <mailto:jemal@deakin@edu.au> containing a preliminary title and a short abstract of their chapter.

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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dieser Ans- pruch kann direkt auf die unterstützenden Informationssysteme über- tragen werden, die es entsprechend anzupassen bzw. zu erweitern gilt. Gleichzeitig spielt die Integration der Informationssysteme auf Daten- und Applikationsebene eine wichtige Rolle. Zudem erfordert die zeitnahe Informationsbereitstellung zur Entscheidungsunterstützung im Unternehmen eine Verknüpfung analytischer und operativer Informationssysteme. Vor diesem Hintergrund spannt die DW2008 den Bogen von Datenintegration (Data Warehousing) hin zur Applikations-, Service- und Prozess- integration (Enterprise Application Integration, Service Oriented Architecture). Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die bedarfsgerechte Gestal- tung von Unternehmens- und Softwarearchitekturen. Track Komponenten- und Serviceorientierung ========================================== Die Fähigkeit zu schnellen Reaktionen auf veränderte Marktsituationen entscheidet im Wettbewerb über den Erfolg von Unternehmen jeder Grösse. Entsprechend hoch ist der Bedarf an übergreifenden Lösungsansätzen, die eine effektive und flexible Integration von fachlichen Prozessen und Informationssystemen ermöglichen. Wurden vor diesem Hintergrund vorwiegend technische Aspekte der Service- orientierung diskutiert, stehen in der Praxis vor allem Einführung und Betrieb einer komponenten- bzw. serviceorientierten Architektur (SOA) im Mittelpunkt. Neben Beiträgen zur Lösung technischer Heraus- forderungen sind darum Beiträge gefragt, die zeigen, wie Komponenten- orientierung und SOA messbar zu höherer Flexibilität und vielleicht sogar höherer Agilität beitragen können. Der Track Komponenten- und Serviceorientierung verfolgt damit das Ziel, Perspektiven für die Integration von Geschäftsprozessen und -modellen sowie betrieblichen Anwendungssystemen unter Einsatz von Strategien der Komponenten- und Serviceorientierung aufzuzeigen. Mögliche Themen --------------- - Einbettung von SOA in die IT-Strategie und Integration in bestehende Softwarekonzepte - Erfahrungsberichte, Erfolgsfaktoren, Nutzeffekte und Risiken von SOA - Geschäftsprozessmanagement und SOA - Rolle von SOA in Unternehmensarchitekturen - Unternehmensübergreifende Integration von Geschäftsprozessen auf der Grundlage von Komponenten- und Serviceorientierung - Methoden und Werkzeuge zur Gestaltung, Steuerung und Kontrolle von SOA sowie zur Transformation bestehender Architekturen - Modellierung und Implementierung von SOA - Leistungsbeschreibung und Komposition von Services bzw. Komponenten - Arbeitsteilige Entwicklung und Software-Verträge - Qualitätsaspekte, Messung und Bewertung von SOA - Governance und Management-Ansätze

MMAP'08 will be organized by Software Engineering Department, Faculty of Automation, Computers and Electronics, University of Craiova, Romania ("Multimedia Applications Development" Research Centre). CONFERENCE BACKGROUND AND GOALS Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices - such as laptops, iPods, personal digital assistants (PDA), and cellular telephones - have stimulated the development of intelligent pervasive multimedia applications. These key technologies are creating a multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, and governmental domains. Yet many challenges remain, especially when it comes to efficiently indexing, mining, querying, searching, and retrieving multimedia data. The Multimedia - Processing and Applications 2008 (MMAP'08) Symposium addresses several themes related to theory and practice within multimedia domain. The enormous interest in multimedia from many activity areas (medicine, entertainment, education) led researchers and industry to make a continuous effort to create new, innovative multimedia algorithms and application. As a result the conference goal is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners in order to communicate their newest and original contributions on topics that have been identified (see below). We are also interested in looking at service architectures, protocols, and standards for multimedia communications - including middleware - along with the related security issues, such as secure multimedia information sharing. Finally, we encourage submissions describing work on novel applications that exploit the unique set of advantages offered by multimedia computing techniques, including home-networked entertainment and games. However, innovative contributions that don't fit into these areas will also be considered because they might be of benefit to conference attendees. CALL FOR PAPERS MMAP'08 is a major forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. The MMAP'08 Symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of multimedia domain ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. MMAP'08 invites original previously unpublished contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest are related to Multimedia Processing and Applications including, but are not limited to the following areas: * Image and Video Processing * Speech, Audio and Music Processing * 3D and Stereo Imaging * Distributed Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Databases, Indexing, Recognition and Retrieval * Data Mining * E-Learning, E-Commerce and E-Society Applications * Multimedia in Medical Applications * Authentication and Watermarking * Entertainment and games * Multimedia Interfaces Papers submission * Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file). * The total length of a paper should not exceed 10 pages (LNCS style).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 2nd CfP: SemWiki2008 - The Wiki Way of Semantics (Workshop@ESWC) Datum: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 10:15:34 +0100 Von: Christoph LANGE <ch.lange(a)jacobs-university.de> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [Apologies for multiple copies] Full call for papers at http://semwiki.org/semwiki2008/ Contact: chair(a)semwiki.org ---- second CALL FOR PAPERS SemWiki2008 3rd Workshop: 'The Wiki Way of Semantics' http://semwiki.org/semwiki2008 Submission Deadline February 22nd co-located with the 5th Annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) http://www.eswc2008.org/ Tenerife, Spain June 1-5, 2008 ---- === Executive Summary === SemWiki2008, the third workshop on Semantic Wikis, aims at reviewing the progress that has been made in the field of Semantic Wikis since the last workshops in 2006. We are interested in reviewing existing semantic wiki systems against the core wiki principles and thus identifying possibilities to improve them, in applying semantic technologies to existing wiki sites such as Wikipedia in order to make them even more productive for mass collaboration, but also in innovative, entirely new ideas for semantic wikis. Semantic Wikis try to combine the strengths of Semantic Web (machine processable, data integration, complex queries) and Wiki (easy to use and contribute, strongly interconnected, collaborativeness) technologies. Goals are diverse and include: * simple annotations of existing Wiki content; * tools that guide users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more formal structures; * full-fledged tools for ontology editing where the text is no longer in the focus of the system. Semantic Wikis contain in an integrated fashion many of the core challenges of the Semantic Web community: authoring, versioning, interlinked data, semantic browsing, semantic annotating, semantic diffs, semantic search and getting overview. In a Semantic Wiki, such methods have to be integrated into a coherent whole, while still remaining lightweight and easy to use. In this workshop, we investigate how these challenges can be tackled in an integrated fashion. === Important Dates (all dates GMT) === * Paper submission: February 22, 2008 (papers, posters, demos, position papers) * Notification of acceptance: April 4, 2008 * Camera ready deadline: April 18, 2008 * Workshop: 1st or 2nd June 2008 === Call for Contributions === We invite submissions as full and short papers, as well as posters/demos. Papers should describe original, unpublished research and must not be under review by another conference, journal, or workshop. Authors of the highest quality contributions will be invited to present their work at the workshop. Since Semantic Wikis are a very practical topic, we are also very interested in poster and demo submissions. Posters and Demos should describe prototypical implementations of systems related to the workshop topics. Highest quality submissions will be presented in a separate poster/demo session. Contributions should adhere to the following formats: * Papers 5-15 pages * Posters/Demos 2-5 pages * Short/Position Papers: 2-5 pages Papers should be formatted using the standard LNCS format and should include an abstract of no more than 120 words. Authors will be required to submit their camera ready versions using SALT (semantically annotated LaTeX; http://salt.semanticauthoring.org). It allows authors to annotate their articles directly with semantic markup. This semantic markup will be used to extract and publish metadata of the submissions on the Semantic Web. A specialized LaTeX template will be provided by the workshop organisers that allows to easily add these annotations. === Proceedings === Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference online and in print. Post-proceedings will be published in the CEUR-WS series. === Topics of Interest === Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Text-Based Semantic Authoring * Acquisition of Formal Knowledge from Structured Text * Wikipedia and the Semantic Web * Mining Wikipedia * extending Wikipedia with semantic web features * ... * Collaborative Authoring of Formal Knowledge * Continuous and Integrated Knowledge Usage and Refinement * Usability and empirical studies of semantic wikis and human factors * Application of semantic wikis in * E-learning * software engineering * knowledge engineering * and other domains * Semantic Wikis in Enterprises * New Ways of Authoring, Browsing and Navigating Semantically Enhanced Data * Reusing data from Semantic Wikis in other systems * Personal Semantic Wikis === Programme === * Invited talk: Corporate Knowledge Management with Semantic Wikis at SUN * Presentations of research and position papers * Poster and demo session * Joint dinner, including a discussion on standardisation of semantic wiki data formats and ontologies (building on existing work such as WSR 3; http://www.wikisym.org/wiki/index.php/WSR_3). === Organisation === The workshop is supported by EU FP7 project KIWI and EU FP6 project NEPOMUK.
