International Conference on Society and Information Technologies: ICSIT 2010 (http://www.2010iiisconferences.org/ICSIT) ======================================================= Both conferences will be held collocated (at the same time and the same venue) on April 6 -9, 2010 in Orlando, Florida, USA. The deadlines for both conferences are the following: Papers/Abstracts Submissions and Invited Sessions Proposals: October 28th, 2009 Authors Notifications: November 23th, 2009 Camera-ready, full papers: December 16th, 2009 All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal. Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions. Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions. Registration fees of an effective invited session organizer will be waived according to the policy described in the web page (click on 'Invited Session', then on 'Benefits for the Organizers of Invited Sessions'), where you can get information about the ten benefits for an invited session organizer. For Invited Sessions Proposals, please visit the conference web site, or directly to http://www.2010iiisconferences.org/iceti/organizer.asp Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.

[Fwd: [computational.science] First CFP BenchmarX'2010 - DASFAA'2010 Workshop]
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] First CFP BenchmarX'2010 - DASFAA'2010 Workshop Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:16:31 +1100 Von: Eric Pardede <E.Pardede(a)latrobe.edu.au> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> 2nd International Workshop on Benchmarking of Database Management Systems and Data-Oriented Web Technologies (BenchmarX'10) - April 4, 2010 - Tsukuba, Japan http://ulita.ms.mff.cuni.cz/ws/benchmarx10/ to be held in conjunction with DASFAA 2010 http://dasfaa2010.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/ The successful first year of the workshop (BenchmarX'09) was devoted to benchmarking of XML and Semantic Web applications. However, since the amount of related approaches is wide and, at the same time, new technologies occur while the obsolete ones vanish, the general strategy of BenchmarX is to extend and modify the target areas and topics to follow the modern trends. XML still is one of the most common data formats, however, there are applications that are not based on it or use it only marginally. On the other hand, Semantic Web is only part of a bigger research area of web technologies oriented on data. Hence, this year we want to go beyond the borders of pure XML and Semantic Web. BenchmarX'10 is aimed at benchmarking (and related issues) of all stages of data processing in the context of up-to-date database management systems and data-oriented web technologies in general. Typical (but not the only) representatives of such applications and technologies can be web services and semantic web services, Web 2.0 applications, social networks etc. Similarly, new data types, such as data streams, sensor data or imprecise/uncertain data, triggered proposal and implementation of new strategies for their storage, processing and management that need to benchmarked, tested and compared specifically. Even though data management and data-oriented applications are involved in topics of many conferences around the world, the community dealing with benchmarking of such applications and related issues is still scattered. The aim of BenchmarX is to bring it together and provide a platform for common discussion of all the related topics. We invite submission from both research and industrial communities dealing with different theoretical and applied aspects of benchmarking of database management systems and data-oriented web applications. Areas of interests include, but are not limited to: - Benchmarking: * Benchmark projects and suites * Benchmarking metrics, criteria and methodologies * Analysis and/or comparison of performance of selected applications * Experiences and lessons learned * Exploitation of benchmarking results - Gathering of testing data: * Data synthesis * Inference of schemas, integrity constraints etc. * Data/operation repositories - Real-world requirements: * Analysis of real-world data, operations etc. * Evolution of real-world data * Synthetic vs. real data * Specific requirements of real-world applications Important Dates * Abstract and paper submission: December 1, 2009 * Author notification: February 2, 2010 * On-site paper deadline: February 16, 2010 * Camera-ready paper submission: April 26, 2010 * Author registration: To be specified... * Workshop: April 4, 2010 * Main conference: April 1 - 4, 2010 Organizers * Jiri Dokulil, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic * Irena Mlynkova, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic * Martin Necasky, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic Program Committee Chairs * Martin Necasky, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic * Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Australia Program Committee * Radim Baca, Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic * Geert Jan Bex, Hasselt University, Belgium * Martine Collard, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France * Sven Hartmann, Clausthal University of Technology, Germany * Agnes Koschmider, Institute AIFB, Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany * Kazuhiro Inaba, National Institute of Informatics, Japan * Michal Kratky, Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic * Sebastian Link, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand * Sebastian Maneth, University of New South Wales, Australia * Alexander Paar, Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany * Incheon Paik, The University of Aizu, Japan * Sherif Sakr, University of New South Wales, Australia * Dmitry Shaporenkov, University of Saint-Petersburg, Russia Proceedings Authors should submit papers reporting original works that are currently not under review or published elsewhere. The paper should be submitted in PDF format, with maximum length twelve (12) pages, following Springer-Verlag's LNCS manuscript submission guidelines, available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The review process will be two-round. During the first round each paper will be reviewed by 2-3 PC members for its technical merit, novelty and relevance to the workshop. On the basis of the reviews the PC chairs will prepare the list of accepted, borderline and rejected papers. During the second round the PC members will be asked to comment the list as well as all reviews. On the basis of this discussion the PC chairs will make the final decision. All papers accepted by BenchmarX'10 will be published in a combined volume of Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series published by Springer in the form of conference post-proceedings. At the workshop site, informal on-site proceedings will be handed out as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---

It is not just that the roles that men and women play in society have changed, but the role that technology plays in mediating gender behavior has changed too. Moreover, the range of arenas where interactions between genders can take place has expanded, with many new arenas now possible for gender relations that did not exist a few years ago. This book on Gender and Social Computing will target the myriad of issues that are associated with this transformation. Objective of the Book This book will aim to provide theoretical frameworks and empirical research findings in the area of gender and social computing. The book will be written for professionals who want to improve their understanding of the role that social computing plays in today�s world and the manner in which it affects gender relations. In particular, the Gender and Social computing book will focus on the impact of technology on gender relations in four arenas: (1) work, (2) Social networking organizations, (3) eDating, and (4) ePolitics, including the effect of information technology on gender relations in grass-root political movements, party politics, eGovernment, etc. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be professionals and researchers working in the fields of information, social studies, political science and gender research. The book will provide insights and support students, researchers, and members of the general public who are interested in the impact that technology has on gender relations and the many manifestations that the interplay between the two takes at this point in history. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following: 1. IT and Gender at Work � the behavior of men and women as on-line consumers, service providers, etc. � the roles that men and women play in virtual teams � the impact of gender on the IT profession � information technology as an enabler of leadership for women in various professions, � The effect of gender on adoption of IT in various professions � The impact of IT on changing the work/home balance 2. eDating � The ways in which IT affects the balance of power between consumers of eDating services, � The ways that technology affects the behavior of eDaters � The impact of culture on eDating practices � The manner in which technology shapes different eDating environments 3. Virtual communities and social networking � Gender relations in a social networking environments � Gender relations in gaming communities � Gender relations in virtual communities � Gender relation in virtual worlds � Gender relations in social networking environments that are supported by technologies other than the Internet (e.g., cell phones, Internet TV) 4. ePolitics � Gender issues in IT supported party politics, including in the last US elections � Gender differences in IT enabled grass-roots politics � Gender issues in eVoting � Gender issues in the politics of eGovernment � Gender issues and the politics of cyber security Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before October 27, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

by Gustaf Neumann 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] ICECCS'10 Final Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:52:41 +0000 Von: Dimitris Kolovos <dskolovos(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Dimitris Kolovos <dskolovos(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS The Fifteenth IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS 2010) St Anne's College, University of Oxford, United Kingdom, 24-26 March 2010 http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/ICECCS2010/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The success of key human activities ranging from research and business to everyday services relies on the use of ever more sophisticated, feature-rich and complex computer systems. These complex computer systems are regularly required to accomplish more, faster and on a broader scale, to adapt dynamically to changing workloads, scenarios and objectives, and to achieve guaranteed levels of performance and dependability. Satisfying such demanding requirements in the presence of the variability, heterogeneity and non-linear behaviour that characterise complex computer systems poses numerous challenges to both their developers and their users. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners and leading experts from academia and industry, to advance the state of the art in the specification, development, validation and verification, and management of complex computer systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE AND TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished research results, case studies and tools. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following aspects of complex computer systems: * Requirement specification and analysis * Verification and validation * Model-driven development * Reverse engineering and refactoring * Design by contract * Agile methods * Safety-critical & fault-tolerant architectures * Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems * Real-time, hybrid and embedded systems * Systems of systems * Tools and tool integration * Industrial case studies Different kinds of contributions are sought, including: research papers, lessons learned, experience reports, discussion of practical problems faced by industry and user domains, and posters describing ongoing research or PhD research. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between industrial and academic research. Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience Reports. The papers submitted to either category will be reviewed by program committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research, and experience reports should present practical projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them. ICECCS 2010 also hosts a special session on Complex Systems Modelling and Simulation; see below for further details of requirements for papers in this session. Poster paper submissions should specify in their abstract whether they describe ongoing or PhD research. Both types of poster papers will be reviewed by program committee members, and accepted poster papers will be published in the conference proceedings. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format. Full papers should not exceed 10 pages including figures, references, and appendices and be in PDF format; Poster papers should be no more than 2 pages in IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format. Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be rejected immediately, without review. Submissions of papers will be carried out electronically via the web site of the ICECCS Submission Service at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iceccs2010 Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a copyright release form. IEEE Computer Society Press will publish the proceedings. Final versions of accepted papers will be limited to 10 pages (2 pages for Poster Papers) in the aforementioned IEEE proceedings format. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract submission deadline 23 Oct 2009 Paper submission deadline 30 Oct 2009 Author notification 18 Dec 2009 Final version due: 22 Jan 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Bill Roscoe, University of Oxford, UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL CHAIR ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Marta Kwiatkowska, University of Oxford, UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM CHAIRS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Radu Calinescu, University of Oxford, UK Richard Paige, University of York, UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Yamine Ait Ameur, ENSMA, France Simone Barbosa, PUC-Rio, Brazil Karin Breitman, PUC-Rio, Brazil Phil Brooke, University of Teesside, UK Michael Butler, University of Southampton, UK Jordi Cabot, University of Toronto, Canada Antonio Cerone, United Nations University, Macau Corina Cirstea, University of Southampton, UK Jim Davies, University of Oxford, UK Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada Juergen Dingel, Queen's University, Canada Simon Dobson, University of St Andrews, UK Kerstin Eder, University of Bristol, UK Nicholas Graham, Queens University, Canada Lindsay Groves, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Lars Grunske, Swinburne University, Australia Esther Guerra, Universidad Carlos III Madrid, Spain Gaetan Hains, University Paris-12, France Michael Harrison, Newcastle University, UK Shinji Kikuchi, Fujitsu, Japan Joe Kiniry, University College Dublin, Ireland Michal Konecny, Aston University, UK Fabrice Kordon, Universite Pierre & Marie Curie, France Philip Laplante, Penn State University, USA Kung-Kiu Lau, University of Manchester, UK Juan de Lara, Universidad de Madrid, Spain Gerald Luettgen, Universitat Bamberg, Germany Tom Maibaum, McMaster University, Canada Tiziana Margaria, Potsdam University, Germany Julie McCann, Imperial College, UK John McDermid, University of York, UK Paul McKee, BT, UK Raffaela Mirandola, Politecnica di Milano, Italy Isabelle Perseil, Telecom-Paristech, France Omer Rana, Cardiff University, UK Awais Rashid, Lancaster University, UK Bernhard Rumpe, RWTH-Aachen, Germany Doug Schmidt, Vanderbilt University, USA Cristina Seceleanu, Malardalen University, Sweden Janet Smart, University of Oxford, UK Oleg Sokolsky, University of Pennsylvania, USA Ian Sommerville, University of St. Andrews, UK Jing Sun, University of Auckland, New Zealand Steffen Zschaler, University of Lancaster, UK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ICECCS 2010 Special Session: Complex Systems Modelling and Simulation March 24-26, 2010 Oxford, UK iceccs(a)cosmos-research.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This special session of ICECCS 2010 (http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/ICECCS2010/) aims to provide a forum for research examining the modelling and simulation of complex systems. Complex systems are characterised by low-level components that communicate and interact in and with and within an environment, exhibiting high-level (emergent) behaviours. For example, natural complex systems that inspire engineering solutions might be swarms (natural, robots, UAVs) or ants (path finding, optimisation). Complex systems are modelled and simulated to try to understand behaviours: for instance, stock markets, social systems, predator-prey systems, spin glasses, simple liquid crystals. Finally, systems such as cellular automata provide an implementation platform for some forms of complex system. The special session concerns the engineering of such complex systems. Engineering covers, amongst other aspects, abstract modelling in diagrams or mathematics, computer simulation, verification and validation, and engineering environments. Engineering complex systems is a challenging and interdisciplinary task. Elements might include choice of modelling tools and techniques, simulation infrastructures, concurrency and distribution, the process of moving from models to simulations, arguing validity of simulations, and the identification of reusable engineering techniques such as patterns. The Special Session is supported by the EPSRC CoSMoS project <http://www.cosmos-research.org/>, a four-year initiative, based at the Universities of York and Kent, to develop a framework and infrastructure for the construction of of generic complex systems simulations. Accepted papers will appear in the ICECCS proceedings. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AREAS OF INTEREST Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Abstract modelling and simulation of complex systems to support scientific enquiry or engineering * Modelling approaches that accommodate treatment of emergent behaviours * Aspects of complex-system simulation environments, including languages, concurrency, distribution and scalability * Engineering techniques and tools to support complex-system simulation environments, languages, concurrency and distribution and scalability, in areas such as model-to-code, testing, proof of properties, use of patterns and refactorings * Techniques for demonstrating the validity, or fitness-for-purpose, of models and simulations Posters papers on these topics are invited from /current PhD students/. To contribute a poster, submit a poster paper (below) through the ICECCS conference submission (http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/ICECCS2010/cfp.html); accepted poster papers will be published in the IEEE proceedings, and posters displayed at the conference. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format. *Full papers* should not exceed 10 pages including figures, references, and appendices and be in PDF format. *Poster papers* should not exceed 2 pages including figures, references, and appendices and be in PDF format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 3rd CFP: ICT education in developing economies - ITDJ Special Issue Datum: Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:51:34 +0200 Von: "Saïd Assar (Telecom Business School, Evry)" <said.assar(a)it-sudparis.eu> Antwort an: "Saïd Assar (Telecom Business School, Evry)" <said.assar(a)it-sudparis.eu> Organisation: Telecom Business School, Evry - France An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> *********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Download PDF version of this call at http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~assar/pdf/cfp_ITDJ-ICT_education.pdf *********************************************************************** INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPMENT JOURNAL (ITDJ) (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/109863476/home) Special Issue on ICT education in developing economies ** Paper Submission Deadline: November 30, 2009 ** Special Issue guest editors: Saïd Assar (Institut Telecom Sud Paris, France) Redouane El Amrani (Reims Management School, France) Richard T. Watson (University of Georgia, USA) Editor-in-Chief of ITD: Sajda Qureshi, College of Information Science & Technology University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA AIMS AND SCOPE Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are fundamental infrastructures for economic development and growth. Their adoption and large-scale diffusion are recognized as a strong enabler and catalyst for economic, social and human change and development. In a globalized world, ICT offer opportunities for new enterprises and for the emergence of new economic activities. By connecting people and giving access to large amounts of information and to wide range of services at affordable cost, people can participate in improving their living circumstances through the development of healthcare, education, environment, and community services. There is however a gap between people with affordable and reliable access to digital and information technology and those with very limited or no access at all. The digital divide includes the imbalances in physical access to technology as well as the imbalances in resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen. Bridging the gap encompasses far more than merely providing computers, mobile phones, and Internet connections. Rather, access to ICT is embedded in a complex array of factors encompassing physical, digital, human, and social resources and relationships. Content and language, literacy and education, and community and institutional structures must all be taken into account if meaningful access to new technologies is to be provided. Education plays a fundamental role in ICT diffusion and adoption as a large variety of skills, knowledge and attitudes have to be acquired in order to take full advantage of ICT. Education is a continuing difficult challenge for developing regions and countries. It requires appropriately trained human resources, specific material infrastructures, and adequate organizational guidelines and institutions. Most of all, it requires long term strategic vision together with a strong and persistent political will. These enabling factors are generally very dependent on the economic, social, historical and political context of the developing region. The Journal of Information Technology for Development explicitly addresses global ICT issues and opportunities and publishes social and technical research on the effects of ICT on economic, social, and human development. It endeavors to advance research and practice in the development of scalable IT infrastructures for global development. The topic of this special issue of the ITD journal is Information Technology as a subject in educational programs and as a tool for education in developing regions. This includes first educating people at all levels on the usage of ICT and reducing ICT illiteracy. Second, it concerns more specialized ICT education at university and professional levels with a focus on information systems, business usage of ICT, and transformative power of Information Systems. This includes both academic and industrial research and innovation in ICT and in information systems. A particular concern is exploring challenges facing the creation and the development of doctoral studies and academic research that meets international standards while not neglecting the need to apply knowledge to local problems. Last, this special issue is also concerned with using ICT for education and knowledge diffusion in developing economies. ICT can increase access to education programs by enabling rapid transmission of vast amounts of information, giving access to new curricula, introducing innovative teaching methods, and expanding learning opportunities to remote areas. The aim of this special issue is to accelerate discussion and theoretical development of the multidimensional roles of ICT in education in developing countries. The scope is broad and acceptable topics ranges from: theory development relevant to ICT education to practical solutions that solve endemic educational problems in developing economies; government policies for ICT to individual actions promoting ICT education; and undergraduate education to PhD curricula. The following are a list of sub-topics. We propose them to stimulate ideas and not with the purpose of being restrictive or exhaustive. Submitted research may be theoretical, conceptual, analytical, or empirical in nature. TOPICS ADDRESSED - ICT mass education, Social awareness of ICT and ICT literacy - Cultural, linguistic, economic, social and regional factors impact ICT and IS education - Comparative cross-regional research, comparing ICT and IS education in developing and developed economies - ICT and IS education as a vehicle for bridging communities, for social inclusion and for conflict resolution - Conceptual and theoretical perspectives on ICT literacy and ICT mass education - ICT and IS curriculum design for developing economies - Diversity of skills and skill sets needed in developing economies - Pedagogical issues related to educating diverse student bodies (with regard to skill level, gender, race, age, ethnicity, culture or other forms of diversity) in ICT and IS programs - ICT and IS doctoral programs, research topics, research methods and "publish or perish" challenges in developing economies - Diversity of subject matter within IS programs and problems related to discipline boundaries definition - Open Source Software issues in ICT and in IS education in developing economies - ICT based distance learning for ICT and IS education - Success factors, best practices and assessment methods for ICT and IS education - Brain drain and human resources challenges for ICT and IS education - Government policy and institutional requirements for IS education in developing economies - Identification of government policies that enhance or inhibit ICT and IS education in developing economies - The role of academics in developing and implementing government policy for ICT and IS education - Achieving a balance between general theoretical advancement and specific applied research in ICT and IS in developing economies - Theoretical foundations that advance the thinking and practice of ICT education in developing economies - Key theories for ICT and IS PhD curricula in developing economies that will underpin research on the typical issues facing developing economies - Theoretical integration of the multiple roles of ICT and IS in education and economic development DEADLINES Paper Submission Deadline: November 30, 2009 End of reviewing process: March 20, 2010 Papers due into Publication Office for Editing: April 20, 2010 Target Publication Date: 3rd or 4th quarter 2010 PAPERS SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers using the journal submission and reviewing Web site https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itd.
