and Ubiquitous Decision Support System (ICoM-UDSS 2011)
Affiliated by the 3rd ACIIDS 2011
(http://ke.yu.ac.kr/aciids2011/)
The 3rd Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and
Database Systems, April 20 -22, 2011 (Daegu, South Korea)
*Objectives
*The International Workshop on Intelligent Context Modeling
and Ubiquitous Decision Support System 2011 (ICoM-UDSS 2011)
will present the latest high-quality results in the growing
field of context modeling and ubiquitous decision support
system. Due to the dazzling development of ubiquitous
computing technologies, it is inevitable for users to rely
on the ubiquitous decision support system to get more
reliable and timely information such as location-based
information, context aware information, recommendation,
context-prediction information, et al. Users used to be
depending on a wide variety of decision support systems
while they are moving constantly- i.e., email systems,
social networks, virtual worlds, web-based systems, and
virtual community, etc. In this situation, users become very
sensitive to timeliness and recency of information. Besides,
they are keenly interested in the quality of information
recommended by ubiquitous decision support system (UDSS)
about locations they are going to visit, activities they are
going to do, and products/services they are going to shop.
This international workshop is dedicated to discussing all
the relevant topics related to the issues mentioned above.

*RESEARCH COMMENTARY*
Co-Creation and Collaboration in a Virtual World: A 3D
Visualization Design Project in Second Life
Keng Siau, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA
Fiona Fui-Hoon Nah, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA
Brian E. Mennecke, Iowa State University, USA
Shu Z. Schiller, Wright State University, USA
One of the most successful and useful implementations of 3D
virtual worlds is in the area of education and training.
This paper discusses the use of virtual worlds in education
and describes an innovative 3D visualization design project
using one of the most popular virtual worlds, Second Life.
This ongoing project is a partnership between IBM and three
universities in the United States: the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, Iowa State University, and Wright State
University. More than 400 MBA students have participated in
this project by completing a creative design project that
involves co-creation and collaboration in Second Life. The
MBA students from the three universities worked in pairs to
create designs to represent concepts related to IBM Power
Systems, a family of IBM servers. The paper discusses
observations and reflections on the 3D visualization design
project. The paper concludes with a discussion of future
research directions in applying virtual worlds in education.
*RESEARCH PAPER ONE*
Transforming Activity-Centric Business Process Models into
Information-Centric Models for SOA Solutions
Rong Liu, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA
Frederick Y. Wu, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA
Santhosh Kumaran, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA
Much of the prior work in business process modeling is
activity-centric. Recently, an information-centric approach
has emerged, where a business process is modeled as the
interacting lifecycles of business entities. The benefits of
this approach are documented in a number of case studies. In
this paper, the authors formalize the information-centric
approach and derive the relationships between the two
approaches. The authors formally define the notion of a
business entity, provide an algorithm to transform an
activity-centric model into an information-centric process
model, and demonstrate the equivalence between these two
models. Further, they show the value of transforming from
the activity-centric paradigm to the information-centric
paradigm in business process componentization and
Service-Oriented Architecture design and also provide an
empirical evaluation.
*RESEARCH PAPER TWO*
An Integrated Query Relaxation Approach Adopting Data
Abstraction and Fuzzy Relation
Soon-Young Huh, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology, Korea
Kae-Hyun Moon, Samsung Electronics Co., Korea
Jinsoo Park, Seoul National University, Korea
This paper proposes a cooperative query answering approach
that relaxes query conditions to provide approximate answers
by utilizing similarity relationships between data values.
The proposed fuzzy abstraction hierarchy (FAH) represents a
similarity relationship based on the integrated notion of
data abstraction and fuzzy relations. Based on FAH, the
authors develop query relaxation operators like query
generalization, approximation, and specialization of a
value. Compared with existing approaches, FAH supports more
effective information retrieval by processing various kinds
of cooperative queries through elaborate relaxation control
and providing ranked query results according to fitness
scores. Moreover, FAH reduces maintenance cost by decreasing
the number of similarity relationships to be managed.
*RESEARCH PAPER THREE*
Accelerating Web Service Workflow Execution via Intelligent
Allocation of Services to Servers
Konstantinos Stamkopoulos, University of Ioannina, Greece
Evaggelia Pitoura, University of Ioannina, Greece
Panos Vassiliadis, University of Ioannina, Greece
Apostolos Zarras, University of Ioannina, Greece
The appropriate deployment of web service operations at the
service provider site plays a critical role in the efficient
provision of services to clients. In this paper, the authors
assume that a service provider has several servers over
which web service operations can be deployed. Given a
workflow of web services and the topology of the servers,
the most efficient mapping of operations to servers must
then be discovered. Efficiency is measured in terms of two
cost functions that concern the execution time of the
workflow and the fairness of the load distribution among the
servers. The authors study different topologies for the
workflow structure and the server connectivity and propose a
suite of greedy algorithms for each combination.
*RESEARCH NOTE ONE*
Matching Attributes Across Overlapping Heterogeneous Data
Sources Using Mutual Information
Huimin Zhao, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA
Identifying matching attributes across heterogeneous data
sources is a critical and time-consuming step in integrating
the data sources. In this paper, the author proposes a
method for matching the most frequently encountered types of
attributes across overlapping heterogeneous data sources.
The author uses mutual information as a unified measure of
dependence on various types of attributes. An example is
used to demonstrate the utility of the proposed method,
which is useful in developing practical attribute matching
tools.
*RESEARCH NOTE TWO*
Disclosure Control of Confidential Data by Applying PAC
Learning Theory
Ling He, Saginaw Valley State University, USA
Haldun Aytug, University of Florida, USA
Gary J. Koehler, University of Florida, USA
This paper examines privacy protection in a statistical
database from the perspective of an intruder using learning
theory to discover private information. With the rapid
development of information technology, massive data
collection is relatively easier and cheaper than ever
before. The challenge is how to provide database users with
reliable and useful data while protecting the privacy of the
confidential information. This paper discusses how to
prevent disclosing the identity of unique records in a
statistical database. The authors’ research extends previous
work and shows how much protection is necessary to prevent
an adversary from discovering confidential data with high
probability at small error.

- Knowledge Discovery from Data
- Management applications
- Spatial Information Systems
Each of these topics areas is expanded on the conference web page
(http://www.rcis-conf.com/call.php). Papers may address one or more of
the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them.
Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit
in one of the conference main topics.
CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS AND BEST PAPERS
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for
other conferences or journals will not be considered for publications at
RCIS’2011. Authors are invited to submit papers in English using the
paper format indicated below. Each submitted paper will have to be
associated to one of the four following categories.
*Technical solution papers* present solutions which are novel or
significantly improve on existing solutions. A technical solution paper
must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution. Results
must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in
later research.
*Evaluation papers* evaluate existing problem situations or validate
proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies,
experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The
research method must be sound and appropriate.
*Industrial practice* and experience papers present problems or
challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories,
or report on industrial practice. The practice must be clearly described
and its context must be given.
*Doctoral Papers* are papers submitted *by doctoral students only* and
are related to research work in progress.
PAPER SUBMISSION
By submitting a paper, *authors implicitly agree that at least one*
*of them will register to the conference and present the paper*.
Submitted papers will be evaluated by the RCIS’2011 Program Committee
based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
exposition. A "blind" paper evaluation method will be used. Therefore
authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the full paper,
without any reference to the authors. The manuscript must contain, in
its first page, the paper title, the paper category (Technical solution,
Evaluation, Industrial or Doctoral), an abstract and a list of keywords
but no names or contact details are to be included in any part of the
file. Notification of paper acceptance/rejection will be sent by email.
*Papers that have been presented by their authors* during the
conference *will be published in IEEE Proceedings*.
Authors of papers that obtain the highest marks in the reviewing process
will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal.
Since Proceedings will be published with the IEEE Conference
Publications Program through IEEE Xplore digital library, paper
submissions must be formatted using the IEEE 2-column format. See
*Conference Templates* at:
http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer…
Paper submissions should be limited to *a maximum of 12 pages and be
submitted in PDF format*. Please use the *IEEE PDF eXpress tool*
(http://www.pdf-express.org/ with Conference ID: RCIS2011x) to convert
your source file into IEEE Xplore compliant PDF File or to check if your
own PDF file is IEEE Xplore compliant. IEEE PDF eXpress is a free
service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE
Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that
authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check
function).
It is important to note that *submitting a file to IEEE PDF eXpress*
is *only for creation of a compliant PDF file*, *you must still submit*
your final paper *through online submission*.

<computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org>
Journal of Computational Science Special Issue on Social Computational Systems
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/721195/descrip…)
Guest Editors: Nitin Agarwal (nxagarwal(a)ualr.edu) and Xiaowei Xu (xwxu(a)ualr.edu)
Update: Submission is now open!! Please select “Special Issue: SOCOMS” when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.
Social computing is concerned with the study of social behavior and social context based on computational systems. Behavioral modeling reproduces the social behavior, and allows for experimenting, scenario planning, and deep understanding of behavior, patterns, and potential outcomes. The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies provides an unprecedented environment of various social activities. Social computing facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, and prediction. Numerous interdisciplinary and interdependent systems are created and used to represent the various social and physical systems for investigating the interactions between individuals, groups, or nation-states. This requires an interdisciplinary effort leveraging the state-of-the-art research to create a better understanding of the problems from different perspectives in order to document lessons learned and develop novel theories, experiments, and methodologies in terms of social, physical, psychological, and governmental mechanisms.
This special issue is interdisciplinary and provides a platform for researchers, and practitioners from sociology, behavioral science, computer science, psychology, cultural study, information systems, operations research to share and develop novel concepts, models, principles, simulations, and methodologies, aiming to bridge the gaps between paradigms, encourage interdisciplinary collaborations, advance and deepen our understanding of social and behavioral computing and evaluation in helping critical decision and policy making.
Areas of Interests
Articles are solicited on research issues, theories, and applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to,
Social role identification and prediction
Influence process and recognition
Detection of hidden relationships
Public opinion representation

Workshop auf der
6. Konferenz
Professionelles Wissensmanagement
Vom Wissen zum Handeln
21. bis 23.02.2011 in Innsbruck
http://www.wm-konferenz2011.org/
===========================================
Sehr geehrte Damen, sehr geehrte Herren aus Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft,
ich darf Sie noch einmal herzlich dazu eingeladen, einen Beitrag für den
o.g. Workshop
einzureichen.
Software (z.B. IT-Services) und Wissen (z.B. Arbeitspläne) sind die neuen
Produktions- und Potentialfaktoren eines globalen Wirtschaftens sowohl im
Dienstleistungs- als auch im Produktionsbereich. Unternehmen, die als
resilient enterprise, also als dynamisches Unternehmen auch in Zukunft zu
den krisenfesten ?Mitspielern? auf den Märkten gehören wollen, müssen das
Zusammenwirken dieser beiden Faktoren sowohl mit menschlichen als auch mit
maschinellen Akteuren bei der Arbeitserledigung in Betriebs- und
Geschäftsprozessen souverän im Griff haben und entsprechend steuern. Denn
die Ängste vor einer immer technisierteren Welt, deren Möglichkeiten längst
die Fähigkeiten der Menschen, damit umzugehen, überflügelt haben, sind groß.
Wissen kann ? vom Menschen aus gesehen ? mit sprachlichen Mitteln
externalisiert werden und kann dann genauso gehandhabt also beschrieben,
zugriffsbereit verwaltet, umgestaltet, bereitgestellt und zum Zweck der
Orientierung in Handlungssituationen genutzt werden wie z.B. Software, die
in Form von Daten- und Programmschemata sprachbasierte Technik (Computer)
antreibt.
Gerade die Externalisierung des Wissens ist eine auf die Zukunft
ausgerichtete Aufgabe, die alle Branchen betrifft und somit auch alle
Branchenvertreter ansprechen sollte.
Gewünschte Beiträge - gerne auch auf Englisch - und angesprochene
Zielgruppen:

Call for Mini-Track Proposals (Deadline: November 1, 2010)
AMCIS 2011 Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Track, Sponsored
by SIG-HCI
We formally invite information systems scholars interested
in HCI-related research to propose minitracks for the
upcoming AMCIS 2011 (August 4-8, 2011). See AMCIS 2011 site
at http://amcis2011.aisnet.org/. To formally submit a
minitrack, please use the following site:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2011
The AMCIS 2011 HCI Track will provide a forum for AIS
members to present, discuss, and explore a wide range of
issues related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with
Information Systems (IS). These issues include the history,
foundation disciplines, theories, practice, methodologies
and techniques, new developments, and applications
concerning the interaction between humans, information,
information systems, and technology. In an effort to bridge
academia and industry, papers may range from formal research
studies to those based on experiences, real-world
observations, and expert opinion. The Track is open to all
types of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies
(including conceptualization, theorization, case study,
action research, experimentation, field study, survey, and
simulation). We also welcome visionary articles, interactive
demonstrations, and research in progress papers.
The official call for AMCIS 2011 mini-tracks, along with
submission details, can be found at:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2011. When you submit
your mini-track to Manuscript Central, be sure to specify
that you would like it placed under the HCI Track.
At the end of this call is a list of HCI mini-tracks that
were successfully conducted at AMCIS 2010 in Peru, along
with names and emails of the mini-track co-chairs.
Mini-tracks are not limited to those previously
conducted—please propose new, exciting, and innovative
mini-tracks for the HCI Track! (We suggest potential new
areas at the end of this memo) We would also like to repeat
the successful mini-tracks that were conducted last year.
Thus, if your interests are in line with these mini-tracks
only, please contact the previous mini-track co-chairs to
express your interest in helping out. There is often a need
for multiple chairs on any mini-track, and sometimes people
do not have time to run the same mini-track again.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for helping to make next year's AMCIS HCI Track a
success!
