-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] ISMIS'09: Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 01:52:57 -0500 Von: Li-Shiang Tsay <ltsay(a)ncat.edu> Antwort an: Li-Shiang Tsay <ltsay(a)ncat.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ISMIS'09: Call for Papers The Eighteenth International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS'09) September 14-17 2009 University of Economics, Prague, Czech Republic Conference Theme The scope of ISMIS is intended to represent a wide range of topics on applying Artificial Intelligence techniques to areas as diverse as decision support, automated deduction, reasoning, knowledge based systems, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, planning, databases, information retrieval, etc. The focus is on research in intelligent systems. The conference addresses issues involving solutions to problems that are complex to be solved through conventional approaches and that require the simulation of intelligent thought processes, heuristics and applications of knowledge. The integration of these multiple approaches in solving complex problems is of particular importance. ISMIS provides a forum and a means for exchanging information for those interested purely in theory, those interested primarily in implementation, and those interested in specific research and industrial applications. Topics of Interest ISMIS'08 is intended to attract individuals who are actively engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of intelligent systems. The goal is to provide a platform for a useful exchange between theoreticians and practitioners, and to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas in the following areas: � Active Media Human-Computer Interaction � Autonomic and Evolutionary Computation � Digital Libraries � Intelligent Agent Technology � Intelligent Information Retrieval � Intelligent Information Systems � Intelligent Language Processing � Knowledge Representation and Integration � Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining � Knowledge Visualization � Logic for Artificial Intelligence � Music Information Retrieval � Soft Computing � Text Mining � Web Intelligence � Web Mining � Web Services In addition, we solicit papers dealing with Applications of Intelligent Systems in complex/novel domains, e.g. human genome, global change, manufacturing, health care, etc. Paper Submission Authors are invited to submit their manuscript in LNCS/LNAI style (maximum 10 pages). All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Detailed instructions will be provided on the conference homepage: http://ismis09.vse.cz. All submissions will be subject to review by the ISMIS'09 program committee.

[Fwd: [WI] CfP: 3rd Workshop MDD, SOA, and IT-Management (MSI 2009)]
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: 3rd Workshop MDD, SOA, and IT-Management (MSI 2009) Datum: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:24:27 +0100 Von: Jan Stefan Addicks <jan.stefan.addicks(a)offis.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ======================================================================== Call for Papers Workshop MDD, SOA, and IT-Management (MSI 2009) GI-Fachgruppe "Software-Architektur" Oktober 06 and 07, 2009 OFFIS, Oldenburg http://www.msi2009.de/ ======================================================================== Motivation ========== Model-driven software development (MDD), service-oriented architectures (SOA) and enterprise architectures (EA) are current topics, intensely discussed both in industry and science. Individually, each concept represents a considerable contribution to professional software development and to enterprises' IT management alone. Combined however, strong interrelations can be discovered, raising the hope of synergy. A service-oriented architecture, for example, is a typical target architecture in model-driven software development whereas an appropriate documentation of an enterprise architecture can provide initial domain-specific models for use by model-driven transformations. In its third instalment, the workshop "MDD, SOA, and IT-Management" gives experts adept in model-driven development, service-oriented architectures and enterprise architectures the opportunity to bring together current research results and real-world requirements of IT management as well as a chance to discuss future challenges common to these topics. Workshop submissions ==================== All papers must be in English and are to be submitted online in pdf-format via the workshop's conference system. The author guidelines and templates for Word and LaTeX can be found under http://www.gi-ev.de/LNI. Full papers may not exceed 15 pages; short papers should not be longer than 7 pages. Exceeding submissions will be rejected without review. The scope of MSI 2009 includes, but is not restricted to the following topics: Model-Driven Development * MDD in conjunction with existing systems * Systematic development of domain-specific languages * Model creation by reverse engineering * Introduction of model-driven methods * Model versioning * Model maintenance and evolution * Quality and validation of models * Traceability in model-driven development * Management of complex transformations * Transformation tests * Models for system analysis and prediction of quality properties * Methods and best practices to combine generated and manually written code * Experience reports and studies on cost savings using MDD techniques * Management of MDD projects Service oriented architectures * Standards und best practices in SOA development * Derivation of services from organisational standard software * Introduction and management of SOA in an organisational environment * Management of inter-organisational SOA * Languages to describe and utilise choreographies in order to improve the BPEL standard * Platform-independent SOA-modelling and its model-driven implementation in varying system-environments * SOA reference architectures * Service granularity * Services versus components * SOA patterns * Specification and modelling languages for SOA development (SOA-DSL) * Experience reports and SOA evaluation Enterprise Architecture Management * Introduction strategies for EAM * EA reference models * EAM in small and medium-sized organisations * EA assessment * business-IT alignment * EA visualization * Metrics for application landscapes * Implementation of IT strategies by means of EAM * EA patterns * EA model evolution * Model integration * EAM experience reports Organisation ============ * Jan Stefan Addicks, OFFIS * Matthias Postina, OFFIS * Ulrike Steffens, OFFIS * Niels Streekmann, OFFIS Program committee ================= * Stephan Aier, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland * H.-Jürgen Appelrath, University of Oldenburg, Germany * Achim Baier, itemis AG, Germany * Ulrich Frank, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany * Jens Happe, FZI, Karlsruhe, Germany * Wilhelm Hasselbring, University of Kiel, Germany * Bernhard Humm, University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt / Capgemini sd&m, Germany * Arne Koschel, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover, Germany * Marc Lankhorst, Telematica Instituut / Novay, The Netherlands * Till Luhmann, BTC AG, Oldenburg, Germany * Florian Matthes, Technische Universität München, Germany * Sven Overhage, University of Augsburg, Germany * Claus Pahl, Dublin City University, Ireland * Manfred Reichert, University of Ulm, Germany * Ralf Reussner, University of Karlsruhe, Germany * Ulrike Steffens, OFFIS - Institute for Information Technology, Germany * Andreas Winter, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Important dates =============== Submission deadline: June 01, 2009 Author notification: July 20, 2009 Camera-ready paper submission: August 10, 2009 Workshop: Oktober 06 and 07, 2009 -- Dipl.-Inform.

Mensch & Computer 2009 „Grenzenlos frei!?“ Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 6. bis 9. September 2009 Call for Papers - Aufruf zur Mitgestaltung Veranstalter: Gesellschaft für Informatik German Chapter of the ACM Konferenzthemen: Das Motto der Tagung „Grenzenlos frei!?“ weckt viele Assoziationen. So findet die Tagung im 20. Jahr nach dem Mauerfall in Berlin statt. Konzepte wie Ubiquitous Computing oder Seamless Interaction versprechen, dass die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für Computer grenzenlos werden und der Zugang zu computerbasierten Dienstleistungen überall und ohne Aufwand und für alle Benutzer frei von Barrieren möglich sein soll. Aber muss nicht Freiheit in der Gestaltung auch Grenzen kennen? Die Open Source Bewegung, der freie Austausch von Software und freie Online-Systeme haben den Erfolg des Web 2.0 begründet, doch dürfen, sollen oder müssen Entwickler und Designer all ihre Kreativität und Kompetenz in jedem Projekt ausleben? Wie erreichen wir eine Balance zwischen innovativen Lösungen und der Berücksichtigung von Konventionen und Standards? Diese und weitere Fragen möchten wir unter dem Motto „Grenzenlos frei!?“ auf der Tagung diskutieren. Fachleute aus der Informatik, Psychologie, Arbeitswissenschaft, den Ingenieurwissenschaften und den Designdisziplinen sind aufgerufen, gemeinsam mit Anwendern interaktiver Systeme in einen freien Austausch von Erkenntnissen, Meinungen und Erfahrungen zu treten. Die Tagung hat u.a. die folgenden thematischen Schwerpunkte: Grundlagen für die Analyse, Gestaltung und Bewertung interaktiver Systeme: Neue theoretische Ansätze, Modelle, Prinzipen und Kriterien für die Entwicklung, Bewertung und Optimierung interaktiver Anwendungssysteme sollen vorgestellt werden. Hierbei geht es auch darum, die zunehmend beobachtbare Diversifikation von theoretischen Grundlagen durch Integration auszugleichen. Design von Benutzungsschnittstellen: Konzeption und Gestaltung interaktiver Systeme in allen Anwendungskontexten; neben der Gestaltung klassischer Anwendungen vor allem die Entwicklung und Erprobung neuerer Paradigmen wie Web 2.0 und Semantic Web; eingebettete und ambiente Systeme; sprachbasierte Schnittstellen (Vocational User Interface); Virtuelle, Gemischte und Erweiterte Realitäten sowie Tangible Media; Avatare und 3D-Welten, sowie Virtuelle Personen und Roboter; Computer und Körperlichkeit; Brain-Computer Interfaces; emotionale und erlebnisreiche Systeme. Usability-Engineering: Prozesse, Methoden und Werkzeuge für die systematische und ökonomische aufgabenorientierte, benutzerzentrierte und technologiebewusste Systemgestaltung; neue und verbesserte Formen der Evaluation und Benutzerbeteiligung; interdisziplinäre und verteilte Entwicklung; Kosten und Return on Investment (ROI) gebrauchstauglicher Systeme. Anwendungen & Fallbeispiele: Innovative Anwendungssysteme auf Grundlage der genannten Methoden, Techniken und Prozesse; gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und Ethik der interaktiven und vernetzten Systeme; neue Formen der flexiblen und zeitgemäßen Lebensgestaltung mit Hilfe interaktiver und vernetzter Systeme; sicherheitskritische Mensch-Computer-Systeme; kooperative Systeme und Kooperationsplattformen; multiple Identitäten und Schutz der Privatsphäre.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP - CLOUD COMPUTING, Cutter IT Journal]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP - CLOUD COMPUTING, Cutter IT Journal Datum: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:46:25 -0500 Von: San Murugesan <san(a)computer.org> Antwort an: San Murugesan <san(a)computer.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS CLOUD COMPUTING: IT's Day in the Sun? Cutter IT Journal San Murugesan, Guest Editor Abstract Due: 6 March 2009 Articles of Accepted Abstract Due: 17 April 2009 http://www.cutter.com/content-and-analysis/journals-and-reports/cutter-it-j… CLOUD COMPUTING: IT's Day in the Sun? Cloud computing is a hot topic now. It is an emerging computational model in which applications, data and computing resources are provided as a service to users -- individuals and businesses -- through the Internet (the so-called "cloud"). It promises to offer utility-like availability of huge computing resources at low cost, higher flexibility and better scalability. So, is cloud computing poised for the next major evolution/revolution and a paradigm shift in IT? The most common answer is "maybe" or "yes". Many analysts, noticing users' comfort with accessing applications on the Web and their acute discomfort with the expense of maintaining their own IT infrastructures, have come to believe that advances in virtualization and other technologies will push cloud computing to mainstream adoption. To others, however, the future of cloud computing is questionable, or at the very least, uncertain for now. According to The Economist, however, �The rise of the cloud is more than just another platform shift that gets geeks excited. It will undoubtedly transform the information technology (IT) industry, but it will also profoundly change the way people work and companies operate. It will allow digital technology to penetrate every nook and cranny of the economy and of society, creating some tricky political problems along the way." [1] Proponents of cloud computing maintain, "We consider cloud computing to be the model that can fundamentally change the current IT market structure and create paradigm shifts." [2] "Cloud computing is fundamentally about re-engineering the world's computing infrastructure, to enable game-changing -- even life-changing -- applications." [3] As cloud computing now begins to move from the fringe to the mainstream, there is considerable excitement and hype surrounding the movement. A key question is: what real value does cloud computing present to users and businesses, and are we taking a risk by computing in a cloud for enterprise and personal applications? While the value may be obvious to some, there are several issues associated with cloud computing -- which range from the technical (e.g., security) to the moral and legal -- that cause varying degrees of concern among stakeholders. These concerns limit the potential of cloud computing and hinder its adoption. Nevertheless, it seems cloud computing is here to stay. According to some estimates, multibillion-dollar opportunities might be there for the taking in the emerging cloud computing market. For instance, the Merrill Lynch study finds cloud computing as a $160-billion market opportunity, including $95-billion in business and productivity applications, and another $65-billion in online advertising. Some even warn that IT companies that do not adopt the paradigm shift into cloud computing in time would eventually be left out. Corporations and venture capitalists are eagerly investing in promising cloud computing technologies and services. Major IT companies, startups and consultancies are all trying to get a slice of the seemingly vast business potential that cloud computing offers. Several IT companies have begun developing and deploying cloud computing platforms and tools. IT departments in many enterprises are now being asked, or soon might be asked, to explore how their organizations can embrace cloud computing and deploy and monitor applications on a cloud. Therefore, IT and non-IT businesses, IT professionals, business executives, and entrepreneurs shouldn't dismiss cloud computing; instead, they should examine and explore how they can exploit cloud computing and seize the opportunities this latest model of computing presents. Many IT/IS professionals and business executives, however, are not clear or are confused about cloud computing and its benefits, strengths, weaknesses, and risks. To demystify the seemingly cloudy, confusing, or even conflicting scenario cloud computing presents, the June 2009 issue of Cutter IT Journal will explore this new style of computing. We will examine cloud computing in terms of strategic approaches, concerns, challenges, compliance requirements, technological options, market opportunities, and the value and impact cloud computing will have in the real world now and in the future. TOPICS OF INTEREST MAY INCLUDE (but are not limited to) the following: * Will cloud computing be another transforming concept and technology that profoundly affects computing as we know it today? Or is it just hype trying to corner a new market? * What real value does computing in clouds provide? Why does this new model of computing draw so much interest not only from users and businesses, but also from governments? * How is cloud computing currently being used in personal, business and social applications? What is its real potential? What have we learned so far from our experience with cloud computing? What are the success factors? * What are the key issues and challenges we face in embracing cloud computing and how can we address them? * What opportunities do cloud computing present to IT (and non-IT) businesses, IT developers, and individuals, and how can we exploit those opportunities? Can cloud computing give rise to an entirely new set of applications? * What are the ongoing developments in this area? What are appropriate IT architectures for cloud computing? * How can the performance of an application that runs on a cloud be monitored or improved? * What cloud computing development strategy would you follow? How can you test and evaluate a cloud computing application before deployment? * Is cloud computing viable for enterprise applications? At what cost? How compelling are the economics of centralized computing utilities compared to a well run enterprise data center? * What types of clouds -- application platforms or frameworks -- will prove popular in a marketplace? * How dominant will "private clouds" (behind the firewall) become within an enterprise, and for which sort of enterprises and for what sort of applications? * Given that enterprises as well as individuals demand guaranteed quality of service, higher reliability, and continued availability, how dependable is a cloud application? * Do we trust the clouds? What if a cloud crashes or hackers take it down? Or, what if a cloud vendor goes bankrupt and closes its cloud offerings without notice? * How will regulatory rules evolve and compliance requirements be met with cloud computing? * What level of service should we demand -- and expect -- from cloud computing vendors? How do we set SLAs for cloud computing applications? * How do we charge for the services offered? What are the billing models? Which model is best suited for a given application? * Cloud computing as new paradigm calls for a new style of IT management. How could enterprises manage their cloud computing applications? What are the implications for enterprise departments and IT staff? What are the best practices for moving our current applications to a cloud? * How will cloud computing shape the future of IT, the IT industry, business, and society?
