-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers : First International Workshop on Problem-Oriented Development (POD 2009) Datum: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:59:28 +0800 Von: Wang Ye <ai_4869(a)zju.edu.cn> Antwort an: Wang Ye <ai_4869(a)zju.edu.cn> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.OptimaNumerics.com> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] =========================================================================== **** POD 2009 **** First International Workshop on Problem-Oriented Development Co-located with TOOLS-EUROPE 2009, June 29-30 2009 ETH Zurich, Switzerland http://poc-workshop.eu ============================================================================ Problem-Oriented Development (POD) is an umbrella term that encompasses a range of Software Engineering (SE) approaches that focus explicitly on the modelling and analysis of business problems (as opposed to their solutions). POD approaches facilitate formalisation and analysis of problems, provide effective tool support for problem elicitation and analysis, and support the automated derivation of requirements and solutions from problem models. Past examples of POD research include empirical and scientific approaches to describing software problems or patterns to support knowledge reuse during problem analysis. Other approaches might, for example, focus on understanding why the current system does not meet organisational goals, on finding appropriate graphical representations for SE problems, or on identifying specific classes of SE problems. POD approaches are, themselves, typically domain-independent, although they may be geared towards certain classes of problem. For example, an approach may be geared towards modelling problems involving transactional business processes, but without considering the application domain of the processes themselves. Instead a framework may be provided for formalising domain knowledge which may then be incorporated into the approach. Scope POD 2009 will address topics related to POD including (but not limited to): * Analysis of the fundamental structures of SE problems; * Pattern languages and libraries to support problem analysis; * Approaches, techniques and formalisms for modelling SE problems; * Tool support for problem analysis; * Mappings between problem patterns and design patterns; * Techniques for transforming problem models to solution models; * Future challenges facing POD. Workshop Format The workshop will be divided into sessions which will address the various workshop topics. During sessions, authors will have 15 minutes to present their work, followed by a 20 minute panel discussion, and 20 minutes for questions from the floor. Authors will sit on two panels, one of which will be during their own session. A short, open brainstorming session will conclude the workshop to encourage a free exchange of ideas. A keynote talk will also be given by a leading researcher in the field. Publication We are currently in discussion with the TOOLS conference in relation to the publication of the POD-2009 workshop proceedings. We expect to make an announcement on this soon. Check our website for the latest news at http://poc-workshop.eu. Important Dates Deadline for Submissions: 11th May 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 1st June 2009 Camera-Ready Papers/Registration: 15th June 2009 Submissions Papers should be submitted in the Springer LNIB format and should be no longer than ten pages.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP:Second International Workshop on Active Conceptual Modeling of Learning ACM-L-2009]
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP:Second International Workshop on Active Conceptual Modeling of Learning ACM-L-2009 Datum: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:10:29 -0500 Von: Mingdr Shr <mshr1(a)lsu.edu> Antwort an: Mingdr Shr <mshr1(a)lsu.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> To be held in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2009 November 9-12, 2009, Gramado, Brazil (The specific date for the workshop will be determined at a later date) Workshop website: http://chen-lab.csc.lsu.edu/ACM-L-2009/ACM-L-2009.htm We are organizing ACM-L for next-generation learning-base system development. The goal is to enhance our fundamental understanding of how to capture knowledge from transitions between system states, model continual learning from past experiences, and recognizing new types of knowledge. This understanding will enable us to provide traceable lessons learned for improving current situations, adapting to new situations and potentially predicting future actions. We will focus on providing a theoretical framework for active conceptual modeling based on human cognition paradigm for developing a learning-base system to support cognitive capability development and applications such as joint decision-making, global situation monitoring, info-forensics, command and control, lessons-learned systems, medical/patient information systems, and mobile learning/training. Learning is a continuous process by which relatively permanent behavioral changes occur in the human mind, potentially as a result of an experience. Experience is a kind of knowledge, which includes inference and reasoning about the totality of past events through direct or indirect participation as an individual or group. Learning, which is reflected by discrete changes between states of knowledge, creates meaning from experience. Experience, which is the basis of learning, comprises knowledge or skills gained directly or indirectly through exposure to people, environment, and/or events. Lessons learned represent knowledge gained by reflecting on experiences that can avoid the repetitions of past mishaps to share observations and to improve future actions. While learning is an ongoing process that transfers knowledge from one state to another, a lesson learned summarizes knowledge at a point in time. To describe an experience is to model past events and associated knowledge from a different perspective. This historical perspective allows us to describe a lesson learned from the interaction of episodic and semantic memories in terms of topic, time/space, people, scenarios/events, cause/effect and general knowledge about the situation or domain. A framework for learning based on Active Conceptual Modeling is being investigated. Active conceptual modeling is a continual process of describing all aspects of a domain, its activities, and changes under different perspectives based on our knowledge and human cognition. For any given time, the model is viewed as a multi-dimension, multi-level and multi-perspective high-level abstraction of reality. Some parts of the model may also be innovative constructs without existing concrete experiences. The objectives of ACM-L are to: Link snapshots as frames to form a dynamic, moving picture of the evolving world with traceability Capture the workflow from state changes to provide trends and lessons learned from past changes and experience Present situational outlooks with view progression across snapshots in addition to views of single snapshots Represent and track changes to the underlying model for knowledge management and application support Provide a unified dynamic model integrating conceptual, semantic, logical, temporal, spatial and uncertain relationships in information and events Serve as a basis for interactive user interface 1st ACM-L Workshop (ACM-L 2006) ACM-L 2009 is a follow-up to the 1st International Workshop on ACM-L (ACM-L 2006), which was held in conjunction with the ER 2006 in Tucson, Arizona. Results of ACM-L 2006 can be found in the following Proceedings: Peter P. Chen and Leah Y. Wong (eds.)

PAPER ONE: Using Metaphors for Making Sense of End-User Attitudes and Behavior during Information Systems Development Zahid Hussain, University of Bradford, UK Khalid Hafeez, The University of York, UK This article describes the use of Morgan's (1997) metaphors for making sense of end-user attitudes and behavior in an information systems development project, in a UK National Health Service hospital. The authors employ a case study approach, which they elicit the attitudes using a questionnaire and infer the behavior using observations and interviews. This article presents the results in the form of a journey, tracking the metaphorical shift for each end-user, over the project duration. The authors show how individual journeys can be combined to capture organizations' shift in metaphorical position.

Oreku, Harbin Institute of Technology, China Jianzhong Li, Harbin Institute of Technology and Heilongjiang University, China Authentication is one among a set of services that constitute a security subsystem in a modern computing or communications infrastructure. This article proposes an end user authentication flexibility model that allows the user to have multiple authentications with varying levels of guarantee and for suppliers to request and rely on mechanisms appropriate to the service requested. The authors describe the ticket used by clients, servers, models, and algorithms to achieve authentication toward the prevention of unauthorized access to in sourced data on applications level. A simple three level ticket request model solution in an open distributed environment is proposed, and the authors develop an analytical password for the proposed mechanism and validate this approach through experiment. Furthermore, the authors explore the approach to end user authentication and demonstrate the conception of a textual password and analyze the deffie-hellman exchange weakness. The authors base their approach on the use of the kerberos authentication technique and the diffie-hellman key exchange.

Prybutok, University of North Texas, USA Sherry Ryan, University of North Texas, USA Robert Pavur, University of North Texas, USA Conducting business on the Web is relatively new compared to traditional business, and many of the factors related to consumer trust related to the Web remain unexplored. To increase our understanding about trust building on the internet, this article studies trust with a focus on its relationship to Web design characteristics, specifically perceived quality of presentation, perceived ease of navigation, and several user attributes. A research model is proposed that builds upon prior research on trust, and a survey is developed based on the constructs and relationships in the model. This article provides theoretical and practical implications.

Burns, Texas Tech University, USA Don G. Jung, MyongJi University, Korea James J. Hoffman, Texas Tech University, USA The behavioral and dynamic implications of an ERP deployment are, to say the least, not well understood. Getting the switches set to enable the ERP software to go live is tedious, but the difficult part is understanding the dynamic interactions that accrue as a consequence. Connectionist and causal models are proposed in this article to facilitate an understanding of the dynamics and to enable control of the information-enhanced processes to take place. The connectionist model facilitates the understanding of the dynamic behavioral implications of the larger ERP implementation installation. The underlying connectionist model observes and detects information transfers and workflow. Once maps of the total infrastructure are determined by the models, an analyst suggests improvements. The models then become decision support aids for process analysts in situations where ideal process flows/information transfers are sought.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] ICST - EuropeComm 2009: Call for Papers Datum: Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:10:19 +0100 Von: info(a)icst.org Antwort an: info(a)icst.org An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de EuropeComm 2009 -- The First International ICST Conference on Communications Infrastructure, Systems and Applications in Europe 11 - 13 August 2009, London, UK http://europecomm.org/ ===== Keynote: European Union and the Future Internet by Paulo T. de Sousa Head of Sector, Internet of the Future, Directorate-General Information Society, European Commission ===== Sponsored by ICST Technically co-sponsored by CREATE-NET and Swansea University ===== Rapidly decreasing costs of computational power, storage capacity, and communication bandwidth have led to the development of multitude of applications carrying increasingly huge amount of traffic on the global networking infrastructure. What we have seen is an evolution: an infrastructure looking for networked applications has evolved into an infrastructure struggling to meet the social, technological and business challenges posed by multitude of bandwidth hungry emerging applications. Developments in optical communication technologies have shown potential of meeting technological challenges for bandwidth demands. Various solutions have been proposed so far for the discrete parts of the optical network infrastructure, however the most fundamental challenge at this point of optical networking evolution, apart from enhancing these solutions and inventing novel ones, is to combine these parts under a unified control and management framework. Although wireless technologies have undergone massive improvements, wireless is far from meeting mobility, bandwidth and other QoS challenges posed by the current and future applications and services. With an increasing number of collocated personal, local and cellular wireless communication systems the questions of optimum coexistence and inter-networking are raised. While bandwidth, mobility and QoS requirements for many existing applications are on the rise, new applications and services are emerging, such as in healthcare and transportations sectors. These emerging services are making the design space for infrastructure developers even more challenging. We organize a Symposium on Communications encompassing mobile, optical and converged technologies as well as services and applications. We have identified two key application themes of these technologies for the discussions during the event. These are Intelligent Transportation Systems and Healthcare services. We also foresee Future Internet Infrastructure and Services, Open Architectures and Innovation Processes as the key cross-cutting subjects for the symposium. The event will bring together decision makers from the EU commission, top researchers and industry executives to discuss directions of communications research and development in Europe. Also, the symposium will attract academia and industry representatives, as well as government officials to discuss the current development and future trends in technology, applications and services in the communications field. You are invited to submit full papers using the Assyst submission system (http://assyst-online.org:8080/submission/welcome.do) comprising original unpublished work relevant to the conference themes. + Communication Systems - Broadband Networks; Heterogeneous Networks; Cognitive and Reconfigurable Networks; Converged Optical-Wireless Networks; Ad hoc and hybrid Networks + Optical Communications and Networking - WDM Systems; Radio over Fiber; Broadband access + Wireless Communications - WLAN; WiMAX, 3G and 4G systems; Radio Resource Management; Cognitive radio; Self-X solutions; UWB + Intelligent Transportation System - Traveller Information Systems; Telecommunications in Transportation; Vehicular Networks (VANETs); Transport Data Modelling, Fusion and Analysis; Safety and multimedia applications over VANETs; Middleware; Grid infrastructure and services for ITS + Healthcare - Telecommunications in Healthcare; Sensor Networks; Healthcare Computing and Information Systems; Grid Architectures and Services; Emerging applications and systems; Modelling tools and methods; Middleware + Crosscutting Themes - Internet Technologies, Infrastructure, Services and Applications; Open Source Tools, Open Models and Architectures; Security, Privacy and Trust; use of Navigation Systems, Location Based Services; Social Networks and Online Communities; ICT Convergence and Digital Economy The submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three technical program committee members.

The goal of this event is to serve as both the premier conference presenting best Grid Networking research and a forum where new concepts can be introduced and explored. Grid developers and practitioners are increasingly realizing the importance of efficient network support. Entire classes of applications would greatly benefit by a network-aware grid middleware, able to effectively manage the network resource in terms of scheduling, access and use. Conversely, the peculiar requirements of grid applications provide stimulating drivers for new challenging research towards the development of grid-aware networks. Cooperation between grid middleware and network infrastructure driven by a common control plane is a key factor to effectively empower the global grid platform for the execution of network-intensive applications, requiring massive data transfers, very fast and low-latency connections, and stable and guaranteed transmission rates. Large e-science projects, as well as industrial and engineering applications for data analysis, image processing, multimedia, or visualisation just to name a few are awaiting an efficient grid network support. They would be boosted by a global grid platform enabling end-to-end dynamic bandwidth allocation, broadband and low-latency access, interdomain access control, and other network performance monitoring capabilities. -- TOPICS -- * Network architectures and technologies for grids; * Integration of advanced optical networking technologies into the grid environment; * The network as a first class grid resource: network resource information publication, brokering and co-scheduling with other resources; * Interaction of the network with distributed data management systems; * Network monitoring, traffic characterisation and performance analysis; * Inter-layer interactions: optical layer with higher layer protocols, integration among layers; * Experience with pre-production optical network infrastructures and exchange points; * Peer-to-peer network enhancements applied to the grid; * Network support for wireless and ad hoc grids; * Data replication and multicasting strategies and novel data transport protocols; * Cluster and high performance networks; * Networks for Data Centers; * Networks & Cloud computing issues; * Fault-tolerance, self healing networks; * Security and scalability issues when connecting a large number of sites within a virtual organization VPN; * Energy awareness and power consumption in grids. -- SUBMISSION -- Authors are invited to submit papers through the ASSYST conference management system, according to the indications given on this page: * http://gridnets.org/submission.shtml Regular papers should be up to 8 pages.

Many Thanks. ::::::::::::::::::::::::: CALL FOR PAPERS ::::::::::::::::::::::::: 2009 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009) =================================================================== http://conferences.computer.org/scc/2009 September 21-25, 2009, Banglore, India Youtube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNlrnYkxx1o Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing (tab.computer.org/tcsc) Services account for a major part of the world economy today, with the services sector comprising of companies that provide a broad range of services in industries like healthcare, education, and banking. Modern services companies are significantly enabled by computing, and more generally by Information Technology (IT), to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. Services computing is a discipline that aims to study and better understand the crucial role of computing and IT in the services economy. It covers the science and technology needed to model, create, operate, and manage business services. Since 2004, the International Conference on Services Computing (SCC) has provided a platform for practitioners to present the latest advances in services computing. Like its predecessors, SCC 2009 will contribute to building the pillars of this important discipline and shaping the future of Services Computing. To deal with complexity and cost, firms are increasingly focusing on their core competency and outsourcing other functions (e.g., IT infrastructure) to specialized service providers, who are often organized as global networks. This global nature of the modern services economy leads to many opportunities and challenges, and enables new business models and technology innovations to support those business models. SCC 2009 will take a deeper look at this global nature of services, and focus on the theme of 'Innovation in Globally Integrated Services'. The major tracks of the conference will focus on foundations, practices and applications, and business aspects of service computing. Further topics of interest under these tracks are provided below. SCC 2009 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing, and will be held from the 21st to the 25th of September 2009 in Bangalore, India, the center of Indian software activity with a variety of historical and natural attractions within striking distance. SCC 2004 was held in Shanghai, China; SCC 2005 was co-located with ICWS 2005 in Orlando, Florida, USA; SCC 2006 was co-located with ICWS 2006 in Chicago, Illinois, USA; SCC 2007 was co-located with ICWS 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; and SCC 2008 was co-located with the 2008 IEEE Congress on Services in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. The SCC Proceedings have been included in the EI Compendex. Authors are invited to submit original, UNPUBLISHED research papers that are not being considered in another forum. By submitting a paper, authors explicitly agree that at least one of them will register for the conference and present the paper.

It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access provides. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice. Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers. An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission of the final manuscript." :::::::::::::::::::::: CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS :::::::::::::::::::::: Tutorial Proposal Workshop Proposal Panel Proposal Innovation Show Case Proposal Job Fair Booth Reservation and Exhibit Proposal *** For any enquires, please e-mail to the Program Committee Vice-Chair Patrick C.
