Due to unique characteristics of multimedia content, such as large data volumes, interactive operations, and requires real-time responses, the problems multimedia security need to address are different from text/binary data security. Furthermore, multimedia security is highly services-dependable. Different services require different methods for content transmission or distribution, paying, interaction, etc. This workshop aims to bring together research work covering various aspects of multimedia security in emerging services. The services may work in the following environment: Internet, mobile TV, IPTV, IMS, VoIP, P2P, sensor network, network convergence, etc. The paper may focus on architecture construction, algorithm designing or hardware implementation. Both review paper and technical paper are expected. This workshop solicits papers reporting recent unpublished works in the general area of multimedia security. The topics include but not limited to: Security threats to multimedia content in new services Security model for new services Lightweight multimedia encryption for services Information hiding in multimedia content Multimedia forensics Secure multimedia adaptation Multimedia copy tracking Multimedia content authentication Multimedia content filtering Secure payment for services Key management/distribution User authentication in services Biometric Security Intrusion detection/prevention Network filtering Secure set-top box Secure Smart Cards Secure SIM card Secure telecom/broadcast convergence Secure mobile/Internet convergence Interoperable DRM systems Conditional access systems Security protocols or standards Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks in multimedia application Submission All the accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference Proceedings, IEEE XPlore, and Engineering Index. The submission should be done according to the guidelines on http://www.chinacom.org/. The revised or extended versions of the accepted and presented papers will be published in the special issue of International Journal of Security and Communication Network (SCN) http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/114299116/home or International Journal of Universal Computer Science (JUCS) http://www.jucs.org/jucs_info/aims.

Conf. on Data Mining (ICDM 2008) Datum: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:22:55 +0100 Von: Bettina Berendt <bettina.berendt(a)gmail.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ----------- Apologies for cross-postings ---------- ========= 2nd Call for Workshop Proposals ========= ICDM '08: The 8th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society December 15 and 19, 2008 Pisa, Italy http://icdm08.isti.cnr.it/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Proposals Due: April 15, 2008 Please email your workshop proposal to icdm08-workshops(a)isti.cnr.it The Program Committee of the 8th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM '08) invites proposals for Workshops. The Workshops will be held on December 15 and 19, 2008, the first and last ICDM Conference days. The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and guaranteeing high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops. The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should select 12-16 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 6-8 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. A "forward to workshops" mechanism will be adopted this year, where a paper not accepted for the conference can be (at the author's request) "fast-tracked" to a workshop, preserving reviews. The workshop organizer could take this into consideration in paper selection; they are free to combine this with workshop-specific reviews and also free in their weighting of the conference reviews. The workshop organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops. Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives in Data Mining. The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in the data mining field. To further this goal, we specifically encourage workshop proposers to employ innovative modes of calls for papers and of interaction during the workshop, and to describe these modes in their workshop proposal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Proposal Submission Workshop proposals should include the following elements: - Title of the workshop - Your name(s), affiliation(s), mailing address(es) and e-mail address(es) - A description of the topic of the workshop (not exceeding 500 words) and a first version of the call for papers - A short description of the target audience - Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day) - A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Data Mining and/or relevant Technology, specifically how it will foster innovative fields in Data Mining. - A short description of the workshop's relation to other events on the same or similar topics that take place at other venues close in time to ICDM'08 - Arrangements for the organization of the workshop, including a brief outline of the workshop describing anticipated format and possible session names - A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers - A short description of the planned publication strategy - Names, addresses, and home page links of people who have agreed to be part of the workshop program committee if the workshop proposal is accepted - A brief description of the organizers' experience and background in the topic, and links to web pages of the workshop chairs After the acceptance of a workshop proposal the organizer(s) should: - Create a "Call for papers/participation" for the workshop - Create a Web page for the workshop, the link of which will be published on the Conference Web site - Create a Board of Reviewers (Program Committee) - Review and select papers - Schedule the workshop activities All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Those papers selected by a workshop organizer will also be reviewed by the Workshop Co-Chairs for final acceptance. We will provide an online paper submission and review system to support the workshops. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates - April 15, 2008: Workshop proposal due (Please send proposals by e-mail to icdm08-workshops(a)isti.cnr.it ) - May 10, 2008: Notification to workshop proposers - May 20, 2008: Each workshop organizer sends out Call for Workshop Papers - August 1, 2008: Due date for full workshop papers (at least two reviews for each paper) - September 22, 2008: Notification of paper acceptance to authors - October 7, 2008: Camera-ready of accepted papers - December 15 and 19, 2008: Workshop days -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Chairs: Bettina Berendt (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) Francesco Bonchi (Yahoo!

18 Mar '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: 2nd International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2008) Datum: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:34:21 +0100 Von: Thomas Lukasiewicz <Thomas.Lukasiewicz(a)kr.tuwien.ac.at> Antwort an: Thomas.Lukasiewicz(a)kr.tuwien.ac.at Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2008) October 1-3, 2008 Napoli, Italy http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/staff/lukasiew/sum08/ Originally, managing uncertainty and inconsistency has especially been explored in Artificial Intelligence. During the recent years, especially with the availability of massive amounts of data in different repositories and the possibility of integrating and exploiting these data, technologies for managing uncertainty and inconsistency have started to play a key role in databases and the Web. One of the most prominent such technologies is probably the PageRank algorithm standing behind Google's web search. Techniques for handling uncertainty and inconsistency are expected to play a similarly important role in the context of the Semantic Web. The annual International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM) has grown out of this very large interest on managing uncertainty and inconsistency in databases, the Web, the Semantic Web, and AI. It aims at bringing together all those interested in the management of large volumes of uncertainty and inconsistency, irrespective of whether they are in databases, the Web, the Semantic Web, or in AI. The very successful First International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2007) was held in Washington DC, USA, October 10-12, 2007 (see http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/conferences/sum2007/). The Second International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2008) will be held in Napoli, Italy, October 1-3, 2008. Papers are solicited in all areas of massive uncertainty and inconsistency, including (but not restricted to) the topics listed below: probability logic fuzzy logic annotated logic Bayesian models Markov models possibilistic logic paraconsistent logic semantics of uncertain data formal models of uncertain data reasoning with uncertain and inconsistent information managing uncertain and imprecise information spatio-temporal uncertainty management probabilistic databases inconsistent databases uncertainty and inconsistency in the Web uncertainty and inconsistency in the Semantic Web uncertain database algebras query optimization with uncertainty query caching for uncertain databases indexing methods for uncertainty uncertain aggregate queries uncertainty in view management skyline query processing top-k queries and ranking approximate query processing uncertainty in data integration and exchange uncertainty in data streams uncertainty in information retrieval data sharing and uncertainty approximate schema and ontology mapping similarity in ontology languages similarity search and extraction information extraction data mining and machine learning vision and uncertainty audio processing and uncertainty multimedia and uncertainty text and uncertainty mobile systems and uncertainty image, speech, multimedia, and text information retrieval mining image, speech, multimedia, and text data personalization and user preferences mining in social networks uncertainty and trust issues ranking in information retrieval matchmaking and negotiation recommender systems implemented systems commercial systems novel applications We especially want to encourage submissions from uncertainty and inconsistency management in databases, as well as from uncertainty and inconsistency handling in the Web and the Semantic Web. We seek both theoretical and practical works. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Papers must be typeset using the Springer LaTeX2e style llncs for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (see http://www.springer.com/ comp/lncs/Authors.html). The length should not exceed 14 pages. Submissions which deviate substantially from these guidelines may be rejected without review. Submissions will especially be judged for originality and scientific quality.

[Fwd: USAB 2008 > Graz, Austria, Nov, 20-21 > 4th Usability Symposium of the Austrian Computer Society > CALL due to July, 7, 2008]
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

***** USAB 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS (due to July, 7, 2008) ****** <Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP> In order to further promote the collaboration between Psychology and Computer Science, we are inviting your contribution to the USAB 2008. USAB 2008 - Usability & HCI for Education & Work 4th Symposium of the Austrian Computer Society, WG HCI&UE NOVEMBER 20-21, 2008, Graz, Austria http://usab-symposium.tugraz.at Today in education computers can be found everywhere; they are both ubiquitous and pervasive. Systems supporting educational or work scenarios are extremely sophisticated and technological performance increases exponentially. However, human cognitive evolution does not advance at the same speed. Consequently, the focus on interaction and communication between human and computer is of increasing importance in education and work, since the daily actions of the end-users are the central concern and must be supported by surrounding technology, in particular with new & emerging technologies. Traditionally, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) bridges Psychology and Computer Science, while Usability Engineering (UE), as an engineering discipline, is firmly anchored in software technology. Together, HCI&UE provide the emerging potential to assist the daily work flows in the realm of education and work. Innovation and new developments often take place just at the junction of two or more disciplines. To promote closer collaboration between engineers, researchers and teaching professionals, we invite you to participate in the 4th Usability Symposium of the Austrian HCI&UE Group in Graz (Austria). Mission Statement: Together Today, combining Data, Information and Knowledge, to support the work of the Educational professionals of tomorrow! We are seeking high quality papers, which will be reviewed in a full paper double-blind review by at least three independent reviewers. Accepted contributions will be presented during the symposium as full or short paper. The conference language is English as it supports a broad access within an international audience. Suggestions for Tutorials and Workshops are also welcome. Topics include but are not limited to: * Usability and New Research Methodologies * Formal Methods and Methodologies (incl. Agile Methods) * Human Aspects of Future Technologies for Learning * Human-Computer Interaction for Aviation * Semantics and Usability in Education * Human Language Analysis and Natural Language Processing * Usage and Utility of Educational Terminology * Usability and Human Aspects of e-Learning * Aspects of Usability in Information Visualization for Education * Usability in Ambient Assisted Living & Life Long Learning * Augmented Cognition (AugCog) in Education * Cognitive Workload and Problem Solving Support * Adaptivity and Usability of Educational Systems * Usability of Mobile Computing in Education (m-Learning) * Adaptive User Interfaces for Educational Information Systems * Simulations in Education & Game Based Learning * User Centered Design & Development of Educational Systems * Real-Life Usability Testing * Cognitive Task Analysis * Remote Usability Testing * Technology Enhanced Learning for Children * Technology Enhanced Learning for the Elderly * Accessibility in Education For more information visit: http://usab-symposium.tugraz.at/page.php Inquiries: a.holzinger(a)tugraz.at -- TUGLL statt Google http://tugll.tugraz.at Ebner Martin "N95-user - the new mobile generation" Visit: http://elearningblog.tugraz.at FH JOANNEUM Gesellschaft mbH Rechtsform/Legal form: GmbH Firmenbuchgericht/Court of registry: Landesgericht für ZRS Graz Firmenbuchnummer/Company registration: FN 125888 f DVR: 0813559 UID-Nr.: ATU 42361001

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] Call for Papers: "Gesundheitstelematik und eGK", Workshop der GI und GMDS Datum: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:20:19 +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 aus Muenchen Jan Marco Leimeister *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Gemeinsamer Workshop Gesundheitstelematik und eGK der GI und GMDS im Rahmen der GI-Jahrestagung "Informatik 2008" in München 08.-13.09.2008 *************************************************************************** Gesundheitstelematik und eGK ---------------------------- Die Einführung der elektronischen Gesundheitskarte (eGK) und des Heilberufeausweises (HBA) in Deutschland wird als eines der größten IT-Projekte betrachtet. Für 80 Mio. Versicherte und mehr als 4 Mio. Beschäftigte im Gesundheitswesen ist eine sichere und vertrauenswürdige Telematikinfrastruktur zu realisieren. Ausmaß und Komplexitaet des Projektes haben bereits zu Verzögerungen gegenüber dem ursprünglichen Terminplan geführt. Kritische Erfolgsfaktoren des Projektes sind vielschichtig und nicht nur technischer, sondern vor allem auch sozio-technischer Natur. Der Workshop ist in Zusammenarbeit von GI und GMDS entstanden und stieß bereits bei der GI Jahrestagung 2007 auf großes Interesse. Ein Ziel des diesjährigen Workshops ist die Analyse von Chancen und Risiken serviceorientierter Architekturen (SOA) im Gesundheitswesen. Dabei sollen die Potenziale von SOA sowohl für die Telematikinfrastruktur als auch innerhalb der Institutionen besonders an den Nahtstellen zur Telematikinfrastruktur betrachtet werden. Darüber hinaus freuen wir uns auf Beitraege zu verschiedenen Aspekten der Gesundheitstelematik wie z.B. die Anwendersicht, IT-Sicht, Prozesssicht, die Betrachtung neuer Geschäftsfelder und Überlegungen zur Sicherheit. Adressaten ---------- Praktiker und Wissenschaftler mit Erfahrungen im Bereich Gesundheitstelematik und eGK sind herzlich eingeladen, Beitraege zu den genannten und weiteren relevanten Themen einzureichen. Termine ------- * 28.04.2008: Einreichung von Beitraegen über EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=informatik2008ws * 02.06.2008: Benachrichtigung über Annahme oder Ablehnung * 01.07.2008: Abgabe der druckfertigen Beitraege * 08.09.2008: Workshop im Rahmen der GI Jahrestagung Beiträge -------- Beiträge können bis zum 28.
