*Workshop website: KDD 2008 Workshop on Data Mining Using Matrices and
Tensors (DMMT08)
<http://www.cs.fiu.edu/%7Etaoli/kdd08-workshop/workshop.htm>
Held in conjunction with
The 14th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining <http://www.sigkdd.org/kdd2008/>
(KDD 2008) <http://www.sigkdd.org/kdd2008/>
August 24, 2008, Las Vegas, USA
The field of pattern recognition, data mining and machine learning
increasingly adapt methods and algorithms from advanced matrix
computations, graph theory and optimization. Prominent examples are
spectral clustering, non-negative matrix factorization, Principal
component analysis (PCA) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) related
clustering and dimension reduction, tensor analysis, L-1 regularization,
etc. Compared to probabilistic and information theoretic approaches,
matrix-based methods are fast, easy to understand and implement; they
are especially suitable for parallel and distributed-memory computers to
solve large scale challenging problems such as searching and extracting
patterns from the entire Web. Hence the area of data mining using
matrices and tensors is a popular and growing are of research activities.
This workshop will present recent advances in algorithms and methods
using matrix and scientific computing/applied mathematics for modeling
and analyzing massive, high-dimensional, and nonlinear-structured data.
One main goal of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers
on many topic areas (e.g., computer scientists, computational and
applied mathematicians) to assess the state-of-the-art, share ideas, and
form collaborations. We also wish to attract practitioners who seek
novel ideas for applications. In summary, this workshop will strive to
emphasize the following aspects:
* Presenting recent advances in algorithms and methods using matrix
and scientific computing/applied mathematics
* Addressing the fundamental challenges in data mining using
matrices and tensors
* Identifying killer applications and key industry drivers (where
theories and applications meet)
* Fostering interactions among researchers (from different
backgrounds) sharing the same interest to promote
cross-fertilization of ideas.
* Exploring benchmark data for better evaluation of the techniques
Topic areas for the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:
*
Methods and algorithms:
*
* Principal Component Analysis and Singular value decomposition for
clustering and dimension reduction
* Nonnegative matrix factorization for unsupervised and
semi-supervised learning
* Spectral graph clustering
* L-1 Regularization and Sparsification
* Sparse PCA and SVD
* Randomized algorithms for matrix computation
* Web search and ranking algorithms
* Canonical Decompositions (CANDECOMP/PARAFAC)
* Tensor analysis: Rank-1 Decomposition, PARAFAC/CANDECOMP, GLRAM/2DSVD,
Tucker decompositions (e.g., the Higher-Order SVD)
* GSVD for classification
* Latent Semantic Indexing and other developments for Information
Retrieval
* Linear, quadratic and semi-definite Programming
* Non-linear manifold learning and dimension reduction
* Computational statistics involving matrix computations
* Feature selection and extraction

*Call for Papers*
*9. Internationale Tagung Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI 2009)*
25.-27. Februar 2009 in Wien
*Track 15: Semantische Informationssysteme*
http://www.wi2009.de/track15.html
Semantische Modellierung und ihre automatische Verarbeitung findet
verstärkt Eingang in das betriebliche Informationsmanagement. In
Informationssystemen ergibt sich der Mehrwert semantischer Technologien
primär aus der Integration heterogener Informationen und der Steigerung
der Informationsqualität. Im Wissensmanagement und in der Gestaltung und
Bearbeitung wissensintensiver Prozesse unterstützen semantische
Technologien die kontextspezifische Strukturierung von Wissens- und
Informationsbeständen. Abfrage- und Präsentationsmechanismen werten die
Semantik von Informationen und Metadaten aus und erhöhen so den
Gebrauchswert vorhandener Informationen. Von zentraler Bedeutung für
diesen Track ist die wirtschaftliche Nutzung semantischer Ansätze in
Geschäftsanwendungen: Von der Beurteilung, von der Analyse des Aufwands
für die Entwicklung und Pflege der semantischen Modelle, über die
Evaluierung, welche Unternehmens- und Wissensziele durch semantische
Technologien unterstützt werden, bis zum Einsatz semantischer
Technologien für geschäftliche Anwendungen.
*/Mögliche Themen sind:/*
* Semantisches Geschäftsprozessmanagement
* Semantische Web Services, deren automatisches Auffinden,
Komposition und Aufruf
* Semantische Unternehmensmodellierung
* Semantische Integration heterogener Informationssysteme
* Unterstützung von Unternehmens- und Wissenszielen durch
semantische Technologien
* Reale Einsatzszenarien und Fallstudien aus der betrieblichen Praxis
* Social Networks in semantischen Informationssystemen
* Semantikbasierte Ansätze für Trust, Privacy, Security und
Intellectual Property Rights

==========================================
Advancements in Information and Communication Technologies have paved the
way to new business models, markets, networks, services, and players in the
financial services industry. FinanceCom 2008 invites papers that help to
understand, drive and exploit the associated systems, technologies and
opportunities.
After three very successful FinanceCom workshops in Sydney, Regensburg, and
Montreal, FinanceCom 2008 will be co-located with ICIS 2008 in Paris in
December of 2008. The workshop spans multiple disciplines, including
technical, services, economic, sociological and behavioral sciences. We
thus welcome research from any of these disciplines, as well as
cross-disciplinary work that spans multiple disciplines. While most papers
have been on innovative applications of novel technology such as
service-oriented architectures or grid computing in banking and finance (see
Veit et al. (eds.): Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, Vol.
4, for last year's proceedings), we are open to various levels of analysis
and methodology and especially also invite papers using the research
paradigm of agent-based computational economics (ACE).
The topics of interest in this research area include but are not limited to:
Services
* Service-Oriented Computing and Architectures in Finance, Banking
and Insurance
* Business Value of Service-Oriented Architectures
* Service-Oriented Modeling
* Networks, markets and business models
* Technology-Driven Transformation of the Financial Industry - towards
Banking Value Networks
* Business process outsourcing/offshoring and Information Systems
* Electronic Markets Design and Engineering
* New e-Finance business models enabled by IT
Standardization
* Financial Business Process Standardization and standardized
service modules
* Interoperability of heterogeneous financial systems and evolving i
nternational standards (e.g. MiFiD)
* Synergetic usage of IFRS (IAS) and Basel II implementations in bank
management
IT and implementations
* Role of new technologies (e.g. Web Services and Grid Computing)
* Role of IT in competing market models
* Implementation experiences and case studies
* Enabling decision support systems in banking
Developing approaches for evaluating operational and credit risks as
well as
banking and market performance
* Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE)
* Other simulation and evaluation approaches

Introduction
This special issue of the International Journal of Electronic Business seeks submissions that examine the current use and future market potential for mobile data services. Since 2002 when the “Mobile Internet” became widely accessible in Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong, predictions of rapid adoption have been made for other key markets as well. Services, content and supporting business models have developed along with advanced networks and devices that can improve the user experience. However,five years later, the rates and expectations for adoption of mobile dataservices by consumers remains a question with some seeing signs of rapidgrowth, others maintaining expectations for specialized markets, and others remaining skeptical about the overall mass market potential for theseservices. In this issue we seek submissions that describe general use patterns and the overall market for mobile data services in key markets with a view to describing the current situation as well as factors that may influence further development of mobile data service markets.
We seek timely submissions that examine key national markets in depth, aswell as cross cultural comparisons of use patterns, demographic breakdowns, trends and forecasts based on data. Submissions that analyze and present data in the following areas will be given particular notice:
* Measurement and analysis of cross-cultural differences in mobile service usage – To what extent are cultural factors relevant? Are there truly significant differences in user behavior and preferences across different markets? Does the value proposition in emerging economies differ from that in the industrialized markets?
* Demonstration of business implications for new services development –What sectors, demographic groups, etc. appear most interested in mobile data services? e.g. will the younger generation pave the way for more innovative use of mobile services? Are there transferable lessons, general diffusion dynamics that can be applied to markets for mobile data services and applications?
* Examination of factors supporting adoption: social, cultural, technological, economic – Are existing models and frameworks for technology diffusion useful/relevant?
* In depth country studies, comparative studies of mobile data service use in 2 or more markets.
Important Dates:
Deadline for Submission: December 1, 2008
Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2009
Publication Schedule: September 2009
Submission Instructions:
Papers must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A standard double-blind review process will be used to select papers for this special issue.
Manuscripts should follow the instructions as outlined in the Author Portal found on the IJEB Website (see URL below). Electronic submission in PDF format is required. Accepted papers must follow the guidelines postedat http://www.icebnet.org/author/ to format the final papers.
