-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Workshop on Domain Engineering in conjunction with CAiSE'09 (DE@CAiSE'09) Datum: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 00:57:00 -0500 Von: Arnon Sturm <sturm(a)bgu.ac.il> Antwort an: Arnon Sturm <sturm(a)bgu.ac.il> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> DE@CAiSE'09 Workshop on Domain Engineering In Conjunction with CAiSE�09 June 9th, Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://www.bgu.ac.il/~sturm/DE@CAiSE09/ Domain Engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with building reusable assets, such as specification sets, patterns, and components, in specific domains. A domain in this context can be defined as an area of knowledge that uses common concepts for describing phenomena, requirements, problems, capabilities, and solutions. The purpose of domain engineering is to identify, model, construct, catalog, and disseminate artifacts that represent the commonalities and differences within a domain. Although applicable to different engineering disciplines, domain engineering methods has been recently receiving special attention in the information systems era. Some of the reasons for this interest are the increasing variability of applications, the need to obtain and share expertise in different, evolving domains, and the trend towards reusing IS artifacts and knowledge about them. Domain engineering addresses two main layers: the domain layer, which deals with the representation of domain elements, and the application layer, which deals with information systems artifacts related to the domain. More specifically, information systems applications, their components, and their descriptions are included in the application layer, whereas their common and variable characteristics, as can be described, for example, by ontologies or emerging standards, are generalized and presented in the domain layer. Similarly to information systems engineering, domain engineering includes three main activities: domain analysis, domain design, and domain implementation, which are carried out in the domain layer. However, domain engineering also supports inter-layer activities, namely interactions that exist between the domain and application layers. Specifically, domain layer artifacts may be used for creation and validation of the specifications of application layer artifacts, while applications may be generalized into domain artifacts in a process of knowledge elicitation. Domain engineering as a discipline has practical significance as it deals with methods and techniques that may help reduce time-to-market, product cost, and projects risks on one hand, and improve product quality and performance on the other hand. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of domain engineering in order to define the topic, identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions, and discuss visions for the future of the area. In particular, the workshop will focus on the interaction between information systems engineering and domain engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Conceptual foundations of domain engineering · Methods and techniques to support domain engineering · Ontology engineering · Development and management of domain assets · Domain-driven requirements engineering · Application derivation (i.e., how to use domain artifacts in the application layer) · Variability management · Domain engineering techniques in support of reuse, validation, and knowledge management · Theoretical and empirical evaluation of domain engineering methods and techniques · Case studies and practice reports related to domain engineering Submission Guidelines Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to the purpose of the workshop. The workshop will accept three types of submissions: 1. Completed Research � this type of papers should include evidence to support the contribution (e.g. in the form of data analysis, proof of concept, or case studies) and discussion on research findings and their theoretical and practical significance. The paper should not exceed 5,000 words (excluding references and appendices). Accepted completed research papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation (including questions & answers) during the workshop. 2. Research-In-Progress � this type of papers can report on research that is under way with preliminary results available at the time of the conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP -INCoS 2009 - Barcelona, Spain Datum: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 09:46:33 +0530 Von: Ajith Abraham <ajith.abraham(a)ieee.org> Antwort an: abraham.ajith(a)gmail.com Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> - Call For Papers - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT NETWORKING AND COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS (INCoS 2009). November 4-6, 2009 Open University of Catalonia Barcelona, Spain http://www.uoc.edu/symposia/incos2009 Submission deadline: **June 25, 2009** CONFERENCE SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES With the fast development of the Internet, we are experiencing a shift from the traditional sharing of information and applications as the main purpose of the Web to an emergent paradigm, which locates people at the very center of networks and exploits the value of people's connections and relations. Web 2.0 has come to play a major role in this context by enabling a new generation of social networks and web-based communities and dramatically changing the way we use and interact with the Web. Social network analysis is also a rapidly growing field to investigate the dynamics and structure of intelligent Web-based networking and collaborative systems. Virtual campuses and organizations strongly leverage intelligent networking and collaborative systems by a great variety of formal and informal electronic relations, such as business-to-business, peer-to-peer and many types of online collaborative learning interactions. This has resulted in entangled systems that need to be managed efficiently and in an autonomous way. In addition, latest and powerful technologies based on Grid and Wireless infrastructure as well as Cloud computing are currently enhancing collaborative and networking applications a great deal but also facing new issues and challenges. Well-known social networks lack of knowledge management and adaptive solutions and the information shared among peers is rather static. Virtual communities of practice also provide poorly interactive solutions and lack of full support for organization, management, mobility and security. This conference covers the latest advances in intelligence social networks and collaborative systems that lead to gain competitive advantages in business and academia scenarios. The ultimate aim is to stimulate research that will lead to the creation of responsive environments for networking and, at longer-term, the development of adaptive, secure, mobile, and intuitive intelligent systems for collaborative work and learning. Industry and academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited to exchange their experiences and present their ideas in this field. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Submitted papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique experience reports. Papers must be submitted no later than June 25th, 2009 and electronic submission in PDF is required. The page limit for a Track paper is 8 pages. Workshop and Special Session papers describing novel research visions, work-in-progress or less mature results are limited to 6 pages. The PhD Forum is an opportunity for PhD students to present their ongoing dissertation and to discuss their research with experts in academia and industry. The page limit for PhD Forum papers is 4 pages. Finally, Poster sessions provide an excellent possibility for authors to present in an informal and interactive way their original and unpublished work that demonstrates current research about the conference topics. The page limit for Poster papers is 2 pages. All submissions should be in the IEEE 8.5 two-column format. Papers should contain up to 5 keywords. Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness, and will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. It is assumed that all accepted manuscripts would be presented at the conference. All accepted papers must be accompanied by a full paid registration to appear in the proceedings. All full papers are to be submitted in PDF electronically via the conference web site. Proceedings of the INCoS 2009 conference will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published in several Journal Special Issues (to be announced).

[Fwd: [WI] CFP: Workshop on Mobile Information Technology for Emergency Response at ISCRAM 2009]
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: Workshop on Mobile Information Technology for Emergency Response at ISCRAM 2009 Datum: Sun, 1 Feb 2009 14:52:23 +0100 Von: Markus Klann <markus.klann(a)fit.fraunhofer.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> International Workshop on Mobile Information Technology for Emergency Response held in conjunction with the ISCRAM 2009 Conference May 10th, 2009, Göteborg, Sweden --- QUICK FACTS --- Focus: Mobile ICT meeting the difficult conditions of emergency situations --> Design approaches and technological aspects --> Studying and understanding usage by professionals and the general public Workshop Web Page: http://www.mobile-response.org/uploads/media/iscram-09-workshop.pdf ISCRAM Web Page: http://www.iscram.org Call for Position Papers (1-4 pages) Deadline: March 19th Notification: April 6th Workshop Registration: Submit to: iscram-2009-workshop(a)mobile-response.org 4 page abstracts can enter a fast-track submission with credited reviews to Mobile Response 2009 (see www.mobile-response.org) --- INTRODUCTION --- Many mobile ICT systems for emergency response look nice on slides or when demonstrated at fairs. But looking at them many people including prospective users get an uneasy feeling about actually using them during an emergency. Firefighters may wonder whether they really want to trust their lives to some new device and aid workers may wonder whether they really want to take some new system half way around the world to some natural disaster location out of electricity and spare parts but abundant with rain and people in need of immediate support. We believe that these concerns are mostly well justified. Addressing them requires covering two distinct aspects. First, the technologies and designs must match the actual requirements of the fields. Given the diverse and extreme nature of many emergency response operations this is already surprisingly difficult to achieve. Second, even systems that match the requirements of the field still have to earn the acceptance of their users to use them efficiently, effectively and with informed confidence. Understandably, emergency workers are particularly reluctant about adopting new systems because they have to rely on them for the effectiveness of their support efforts or even their own lives. Essentially, this challenge is the same whenever designing tools to support some non-trivial work process. The particularity of supporting emergency response with mobile ICT is that the requirements and constraints of the domain are especially hard to study and understand and that in terms of both the products and the process of design very specific solutions are required. --- WORKSHOP --- What we would like to offer with this workshop is an opportunity for emergency response practitioners as well as researchers and developers of mobile ICT to exchange their experiences with the challenges of creating mobile ICT for emergencies outlined above. As an inspiration and focus for the discussion here are four dimensions of these challenges with related questions for which we invite participants to submit position papers on case studies, approaches, methods and techniques, recommendations and questions, technological concepts, system design, and core technology components: Rough and dirty - How to create and deal with realistic usage conditions when testing ICT prototypes for emergency situations? - How to design and build robust systems? Tough and stressful: - How to create, assess and handle realistic psychological conditions when studying activities and behavior in simulated emergency situations such as trials or exercises? - How to design services and interfaces for users in high stress situations? Complex and confusing: - How to observe and handle activities and behavior in large-scale emergency situations with many actors in a large area? - How to design systems that reduce complexity and avoid information overload? Trained and cautious: - How to make emergency professionals who rely on their current familiar equipment effectively use and assess innovative technologies during field trials? - How to design innovative systems that deserve and effectively receive trust and that are highly usable by both domain experts and relatively novice users? During the workshop, each participant will have time to give a presentation of 10-15 minutes. In order to fuel the exchange of experiences and discussion we ask all presenters to focus on contributing to one or more of the questions above by either refining them, formulating a hyopthesis, or suggesting an answer and ideally by describing in concrete terms an experience they had or studied of using or designing mobile ICT for emergencies. --- WORKSHOP CHAIRS --- Markus Klann, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Jobst Löffler, Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany --- PROGRAM COMMITTEE --- - Alexander Artikis, NCSR "Demokritos", Greece - Chris Baber, University of Birmingham, UK - Luca Chittaro, University of Udine, Italy - Chris Johnson, University of Glasgow, UK - Jonas Landgren, Viktoria Institute, Sweden - Martha Larson, TU Delft, The Netherlands - Andreas Meissner, Fraunhofer IITB, Germany - Lucas Noldus, Noldus Information Technology, The Netherlands - Jens Pottebaum, University of Paderborn, Germany - Gurminder Singh, Naval Postgraduate School, USA -- Mailing-Liste: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: WI-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/mailman/listinfo/wi
