[Fwd: [isworld] Second CfP: ACM Eleventh International Workshop on Data Warehousing and OLAP (DOLAP'08)]
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Jun '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Second CfP: ACM Eleventh International Workshop on Data Warehousing and OLAP (DOLAP'08) Datum: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 09:58:46 +0200 (CEST) Von: Alberto Abelló <aabello(a)lsi.upc.edu> Antwort an: Alberto Abelló <aabello(a)lsi.upc.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> * CALL FOR PAPERS * ACM Eleventh International Workshop on Data Warehousing and OLAP * DOLAP 2008 * (in conjunction with ACM CIKM 2008) Sponsored by ACM SIGMIS and SIGWEB OFFICIAL WEB PAGE: http://www.cis.drexel.edu/faculty/song/dolap.htm * AIM OF THE WORKSHOP Data Warehouse (DW) and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) technologies are the core of current Decision Support Systems. Traditionally, a data warehouse has been a historical (and relatively static) repository of data collected from a wide variety of heterogeneous data sources by means of Extraction-Transformation-Loading (ETL) processes. The widespread deployment of both DWs and OLAP technologies is due to the intuitive representation of data provided to data analysts or managers in support of management decisions. Recently, the trend is that DWs become more and more dynamic, with near-realtime updates, and include more complex types of data. Research in data warehousing and OLAP has produced important technologies for the design, management and use of information systems for decision support. Much of the interest and success in this area can be attributed to the need for software and tools to improve data management and analysis given the large amounts of information that are being accumulated in corporate as well as scientific databases. Nevertheless, the high maturity of these technologies as well as new data needs or applications not only demand more capacity or storing necessities, but also new methods, models, techniques or architectures to satisfy these new needs. Some of the hot topics in data warehouse research include distributed data warehouses, web warehouses, data streams, realtime DWs, GIS/location-based services, biomedical data, integration of semi-structured and unstructured data, security/privacy and quality management. Like the previous successful DOLAP workshops, the DOLAP 2008 workshop aims to synergistically connect the research community and industry practitioners. It provides an international forum where both researchers and practitioners can share their findings in theoretical foundations, current methodologies, and practical experiences. DOLAP will focus on new research directions and emerging applications in DW & OLAP. * Topics of Interest The workshop solicits two types of papers: regular and industry papers. Regular research papers and industry papers are separately reviewed and there will be separate sessions in a distinct industry track. In addition, there will be a session with invited industry papers presenting research challenges. A panel will discuss future research on data warehouses and OLAP technologies. Suggested regular research topics include, but are not limited to: * Data warehousing foundations and architectures * Data warehouse design * Maintenance and evolution of data warehouses * Source integration * Data extraction, cleaning and loading * Data warehouse consistency and quality * Active/Real-Time data warehouses * Lineage Tracing * Multidimensional modeling and queries: languages, optimization, processing * Visualization * Metadata management * View materialization * Physical organization of data warehouses * Performance optimization and tuning * Web warehousing * Data warehousing and the semantic web * Data warehousing with unstructured data and semi-structured data (e.g., XML) * Multimedia data warehouses * Biomedical data warehouses * Data warehousing & OLAP in mobile and wireless environments * Frameworks for Business Process Management (BPM), Business Intelligence (BI), and Business Process Intelligence (BPI) * Tools for data warehousing and OLAP * Integration of data warehouses/OLAP and data mining * Integration of OLAP and Information Retrieval/search engines * Warehousing Stream and Sensor data: integration, aggregation and approximation * Security and privacy in data warehouses * Personalization * OLAP and what-if analysis * Software Engineering techniques for DW&OLAP * Knowledge-based approaches and AI techniques for DW&OLAP * Industry papers shall address: * Experience and lessons in data warehousing projects and applications * Administration tools * Benchmarks * Tools for data warehousing and OLAP * Data warehousing and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) * Data warehousing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) * Solutions for Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) * Submission of Papers Manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates (both for MS word and Latex) available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. There are two styles on the website. Both the /Strict Adherence to SIGS/ and the / Tighter Alternate/ style are allowed. Papers cannot exceed 8 pages in length. A website with camera-ready instructions will be available at the conference web site _www.cikm2008.org_. Full papers should be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dolap2008) by July 4, 2008. Papers will be reviewed by the program committee for their technical merit, originality, significance, readability, and relevance to the workshop. Emphasis will be given to papers extending data warehousing to novel areas and applications. Authors will receive notification of acceptance/rejection by August 8. Camera-ready copies of accepted papers are due on August 15, and will be published in the workshop proceedings by ACM Press. The maximum length of final papers will be 8 pages in double column. The best papers of DOLAP 2008 will be considered for a special issue of Data & Knowledge Engineering - DKE (Elsevier). * Important Dates: Submission deadline for full papers : Friday, July 4, 2008 at 23:59:59 GMT Notification of acceptance : Friday, August 8, 2008 Camera-ready copy deadline: Friday, August 15, 2008 Workshop date: Thursday, October 30, 2008 * Steering Committee: Karen Davis University of Cincinnati, USA Joachim Hammer University of Florida, USA Rokia Missaoui Université du Québec en Outaouais, Canada Torben Bach Pedersen Aalborg University, Denmark Stefano Rizzi University of Bologna, Italy Il-Yeol Song Drexel University, USA Dimitri Theodoratos New Jersey Inst. of Technology, USA Juan Trujillo University of Alicante, Spain Panos Vassiliadis University of Ioannina, Greece * General Chair: Il-Yeol Song Drexel University * Program Chair: Alberto Abelló Polytecnical University of Catalonia * Program Committee: Antonio Badia University of Louisville, USA Omar Boussaïd Université du Lyon 2, France Rick Cole ParAccel, USA Alfredo Cuzzocrea University of Calabria, Italy Karen Davis University of Cincinnati, USA Antonis Deligiannakis University of Athens, Greece Curtis Dyreson Utah State University, USA Todd Eavis Concordia University, Canada Helena Galhardas INESC-ID, Portugal Matteo Golfarelli University of Bologna, Italy Sergio Greco University of Calabria, Italy Joachim Hammer University of Florida , USA Manfred Jeusfeld Tilburg University, The Netherlands Panos Kalnis National University of Singapore, Singapore Myung Kim Ewha Womans University, Korea Jens Lechtenbörger University of Münster, Germany Wolfgang Lehner Dresden University of Technology, Germany Tok Wang Ling National University of Singapore, Singapour Sergio Luján-Mora University of Alicante, Spain Patrick Martin Queen's University, Canada Rokia Missaoui Université du Québec en Outaouais, Canada Byung-Kwon Park Dong-Ah University, Korea Torben Pedersen Aalborg University, Denmark Jian Pei SUNY at Buffalo, USA Juan Manuel Perez Martinez Universite Jaume I, Spain Mario Piattini University of Castilla La Mancha, Spain Mirek Riedewald Cornell University, USA Stefano Rizzi University of Bologna, Italy Oscar Romero Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Markus Schneider University of Florida, USA Alkis Simitsis HP Labs, USA Spiros Skiadopoulos University of Peloponnese, Greece Il-Yeol Song Drexel University, USA Jens Otto Sørensen Energinet, Denmark Dimitri Theodoratos New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA Igor Timko Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy Juan Trujillo Universidad de Alicante, Spain Panos Vassiliadis University of Ioannina, Greece Robert Wrembel Poznan University of Technology, Poland Man Lung Yiu Aalborg University, Denmark * Contact Information: - General Chair: Il-Yeol Song Professor College of Information Science and Technology <http://www.cis.drexel.edu>, Drexel University <http://www.drexel.edu> Philadelphia, PA 19104 Tel: (215) 895-2489 Fax: (215) 895-2494 Email: song [AT] drexel [dot] edu Web page: www.cis.drexel.edu/faculty/song/ - PC Chair: Alberto Abelló Associate Professor Department of Languages and Information Systems <http://www.lsi.upc.edu>, Polytechnical University of Catalonia <http://www.upc.edu> Jordi Girona 1-3, E-08034 Barcelona, Spain Tel: +34 93 413 7889 Fax: +34 93 413 7833 Email: aabello [AT] lsi [dot] upc [dot] edu Web page: www.lsi.upc.edu/~aabello The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE: ONTOLOGY AND THEIR APPLICATIONS JOURNAL OF UNIVERSAL COMPUTER SCIENCE (J.UCS - http://www.jucs.org/) After pursuing a long tradition of study in Philosophy, the term “ontology” has become the new buzzword in computer science. It is receiving special attention not only from an active community of researchers pertaining to many areas of informatics but also from the industry, which is providing increasing budgets and investments to develop this technology and make it available in business as soon as possible. There is at least one main reason for this recognition: ontologies constitute the backbone of the Semantic Web, as they are responsible for providing context to pages, thus promising to make a relevant part of the Web contents understandable and processable by the software. However, there are some challenging obstacles that should be tackled to make ontologies wide-spread reputation shift from a promise to a daily used technology. For instance, heterogeneity and evaluation are two of these obstacles. Following the realization of the Brazilian "Workshop on Ontologies and their Applications" series (see http://www.ws.onto.ufal.br/ for the first edition and http://www.icmc.usp.br/iarn2006/coevents/wonto.php for the second), we planned this Special Issue as a follow-up for the last edition of the workshop, although by no means limited to its authors or participants only. With this Special Issue, we intend to enrich the discussion on how to enhance ontologies’ applicability, thus realizing this promising technology in general, but also in specific settings, such as e-business and e-commerce to name but a few. Topics of Interest: =================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Ontology Engineering - methodologies - capture and learning - management Semantic consistency - foundational ontologies - upper-level ontologies - evaluation methods, applications and problems Semantic Interoperability - composition and modularity - merging, mapping and alignment - ontology language interoperability Enhancement of ontology applicability - linguistic ontologies applied to text processing - patterns of ontologies for specific applications Ontologies for Information Sharing - ontology-based information integration - mediators and brokers - agents and ontologies Ontology Applications - Semantic Web - knowledge management - e-commerce, e-government - e-learning and e-science - information retrieval Submission procedure: ===================== We encourage the submission of high-quality papers based on entirely new work or surveys, both meeting the foci of the Special Issue. Papers must be written in English and may have a length from 20 to 30 pages, including tables, figures, and references. As for the format, papers must conform to the J.UCS style, formatted in PDF (preferred) or PostScript. It is recommended that authors use the J.UCS template files (see http://www.jucs.org/ujs/jucs/info/submissions/style_guide.html for formatting instructions) to minimize possible conflicts when preparing the camera ready. Word and Latex J.UCS style samplers are provided in http://www.jucs.org/jucs_info/submissions. Papers should be submitted electronically only to one of the guest editors (see e-mail addresses below) up to the deadline (April 15,2007). Authors should not neglect that, together with the camera-ready version of the paper, a Copyright Transfer Statement (which can be downloaded from http://www.jucs.org/ujs/jucs/info/submissions/copyright.html) must be signed and sent/faxed by each author to Mrs Dana Kaiser, Manager of the J.UCS, via web (dkaiser(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at) or by fax (+43 316 873 5699). Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by three qualified reviewers/referees. Any other questions regarding papers submission must also be directed to the guest editors. Schedule: ========= April 15 2007 - Submission due date July 1 2007 - Notification of paper acceptance September 15 2007 - Camera-ready paper due October 2007 - Publication of the Special Issue on Ontologies & their Applications Guest Editors of the Special Issue on Ontologies and their Applications: ======================================================================== Dr. Fred Freitas, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil (contact person) fred(a)cin.ufpe.br Prof. Dr. Heiner Stuckenschmidt, Universitaet Mannheim, Germany heiner @ informatik.uni-mannheim.de Dr. H.Sofia Pinto, IST/INESC-ID, Portugal sofia(a)algos.inesc-id.pt Dr. Andreia Malucelli, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná - Brazil malu(a)ppgia.pucpr.br J,UCS - The Journal of Universal Computer Science ================================================= J,UCS - The Journal of Universal Computer Science - is a high-quality electronic publication that deals with all aspects of computer science.

[Fwd: [isworld] CfP: WS on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages]
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: WS on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages Datum: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:28:58 -0400 Von: Marko <marko.boskovic(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> Antwort an: Marko <marko.boskovic(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Please accept our apologies in the case of multiple copies ******************************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************************* 2nd Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages (NFPinDSML2008) (http://planet-mde.org/nfpindsml) Affiliated with MoDELS 2008, Toulouse France, September 28- October 3, 2008, (http://www.irit.fr/models/index.html) ******************************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************************* Objective The NFPinDSML 2008 workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from communities dedicated to non-functional properties of software systems and researches from language engineering to study the principles of integration of various non-functional system properties and language engineering in order to further expand principles of reasoning about non-functional properties of software systems in Domain Specific Modeling Languages, and model-driven engineering in general Relevance For the engineering of systems of a particular domain, Domain Specific Modeling Languages (DSML) - domain-oriented modeling languages developed for solving specific classes of problems related to such a domain - are becoming a common-place in software and system engineering. While DSML are mostly dedicated to functional requirements, often they do not address non-functional system properties (e.g. availability, reliability, security, performance, timeliness, efficiency�). Non-functional system properties are recognized as at least as important as functional properties and have to be addressed during the design of systems. Non-functional properties of interest vary from domain to domain. Furthermore, there is different understanding of what are non-functional, and functional properties from domain to domain (e.g. timing and reliability properties are considered functional in the domain of embedded systems, and that is not the case in information systems). Finally, because of different relations, intrinsic-when one non-functional attribute affects another, or extrinsic-when a value of a non-functional property is behaving in opposing way to value of another, analysis of non-functional properties can be single and multi-dimensional. Scope The central question this workshop is the study of common principles of Domain Specific Language Engineering, and analysis of non-functional properties. The typical NFPinDSML 2008 paper studies Domain Specific Modeling Language concepts, non-functional system properties and annotation, computation and evaluation of non-functional properties of the final software product as a characteristic of a language. The topics of interest are, but are not restricted to: - Model annotations and computation of non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages - Platform models, platform non-functional properties and domain specific modeling languages - Non-functional properties and traceability in domain specific modeling languages - Aspect-oriented modeling and non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages * Estimation and evaluation of non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages with aspects * Domain-specific aspects for estimation, evaluation and measurement - Assessment of non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages * Estimation of non functional properties in domain specific modeling languages with simulation and mathematical formalisms * Measurement and empirical evaluation of non-functional properties in domain specific languages - Transformation and non-functional properties * Transformation as non-functional properties influencing design choice * Non-functional properties of transformations - Ontologies for formalizing shared knowledge about non-functional system properties - Legal policies of non-functional properties: * Legal policies and non-functional system properties * Integration of legal policies in domain specific languages - Non-functional properties and domain specific languages of particular domains (Service Oriented Architectures, Event Based Architectures, Embedded Systems, Health-care Systems, GUI�s, Insurance, �) Papers Submission We solicit position papers (4 to 8 pages) and full technical papers (up to 15 pages) formatted by using the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Short papers will be expected to discuss controversial issues in the field or describe interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully developed. Full papers will be expected to describe new research results and have a higher degree of technical rigor than short papers. All papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. All papers should be submitted via the NFPinDSML 2008 EasyChair online submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nfpindsml2008).

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP: Special Issue on Component and Service Engineering]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Special Issue on Component and Service Engineering Datum: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 09:58:04 +0200 Von: Klaus Turowski <klaus.turowski(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> Antwort an: Klaus Turowski <klaus.turowski(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures An International Journal Call for Papers Special Issue on 'Component and Service Engineering' Editor Klaus Turowski Chair of Business Informatics and Systems Engineering University of Augsburg Universitaetsstrasse 16 86159 Augsburg Germany E-Mail: klaus.turowski(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de Description of Special Issue Guiding model for sophisticated (software) reuse strategies that encompass using (software) components or (software) services are mature traditional engineering disciplines, which have already concluded the change from a crafts-like fabrication to an industrial mass production. These are characterized by the reuse of existing solutions, reduction of production depth and platform concepts that allow for assembling new products or services, to a large percentage, simply from existing (standardized) components, which may have been furnished by others. Hereby, competitive advantages mainly result from important gains in terms of quality and efficiency. By using software components, which after all offer software services, users delegate the responsibility for developing the used component, according to the black box principle, to the component developer. However, the component user has to provide a suitable runtime environment and has to ensure the component's proper operation. With respect to pragmatics Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) goes one step further, as the service user may also delegate the responsibility for the service operation towards a third party. This allows for further sophisticated outsourcing concepts as far as e.g. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) or dynamic service re-binding. This special issue focuses on the field of component and service engineering, its state of the art as well as remaining challenges and directions for further research. It is expected that submissions are based on sound theoretical, conceptual-analytical and, where appropriate, empirical research methods. Topics include, but are not limited to * Component- or service-based system architectures and frameworks * Domain analysis, modularization, and identification of components or services * Standardization and specification of components and services * Configuration management and quality prediction * Composition, compatibility-tests and type systems, conflict resolution * Component and service markets * Specific aspects of IT governance, Information Management, and Service Science * Case studies Dates Submission deadline 15 October 2008 Notification of acceptance 15 December 2008 Camera-ready papers deadline 01 February 2009 Publication June 2009 Review The review process is double blind and will involve the associate editors of this journal as reviewers. Guidelines for authors, including a Word template, are available on the journal's web page: http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MobisPortal, select 'Journal' Papers have to be submitted via the Open Journal System (OJS) at: http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/ojs The usage of the system is described in the author's guide at: http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MobisPortal, select 'Journal', afterwards 'Guidelines for Authors' The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
