Healthcare environments (within the hospital and the home) are extremely complex and challenging to manage from an IT and IS perspective, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by integrating them within existing health care services. It is essential that intelligent pervasive healthcare solutions are developed and correctly integrated to assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care. It is equally important that these pervasive solutions are used to empower patients and relatives for self-care and management of their health to provide seamless access for health care services. Areas of interest: include, but are not limited to, the following: * Health monitoring from the home, office * Mobile health monitoring * Next generation telehealth/telecare * Systems to encourage well-being and healthy lifesytles * Ambient assisted living * Case Studies * Decision Support Systems (DSS) within healthcare * Support for independent living * Support for rehabilitation * Environments supporting carers * Pervasive Technologies * Pervasive data management architectures +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Organization: This event will be co-located with the 6th International Conference on Intelligent Environments. Submission Details: Authors wishing to participate as speakers in this event should * Format their papers following the main conference guidelines http://www.iospress.nl/authco/instruction_crc.html * Submit through the online submission system that will be set up for this workshop.

These social processes lead to the emergence of many types of links between texts, users, concepts, pages, articles, media, and so on. The New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia journal welcomes submissions for a Special Issue on design, analysis and modeling of information systems driven by social linking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Applications to search, retrieval, recommendation, and navigation * Explicit vs. inferred social links (e.g. mining query logs) * Integration of different social networks (e.g. links between blogs and bookmarking systems) * Socially induced measures of similarity, relatedness, or distance * Co-evolution of social, information, and semantic networks * Analysis of the structure and the dynamics of social information networks * Behavioral patterns of social linking * Linguistic analysis of social annotation spaces * Formal and generative models of social annotation * Unstructured vs. structured social knowledge representations * Implementation and scalability of social link representations * Automatic and user-based evaluation * Emergent semantics in social networks * Robustness against spam and other forms of social abuse * Design of collaborative annotation mechanisms * Critical mass and incentives of social participation (e.g. games) * User interfaces for collaborative annotation Submission ---------- Authors are encouraged to submit their papers online via the New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia Manuscript Central site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tham Submissions may take the form of research papers or shorter technical notes.

Over the years, though, each problem or class of problems has required a different ontology, and sometimes a different version of logic. Moreover, the processes of conceiving, controlling and maintaining an ontology and its versions have turned out to be inherently complex. All this has motivated much investigation in a wide range of disparate disciplines -- from logic-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning to Software Engineering, from Databases to Multimedia -- about how to relate ontologies to one another. ARCOE-10 aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of Artificial Intelligence (Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Contexts, and Ontologies) to discuss these kinds of problems and relevant results. Historically, there have been at least three different, yet interdependent motivations behind this type of research: defining the relationship between an ontology and its context, providing support to ontology engineers, enhancing problem solving and communication for software agents. Ontology and Context. Most application areas have recognised the need for representing and reasoning about knowledge that is distributed over many resources. Such knowledge depends on its context, i.e., on the syntactic and/or semantic structure of such resources. Research on information integration, distributed knowledge management, the semantic web, multi-agent and distributed reasoning have pinned down different aspects of how ontologies relate to and/or develop within their context. Ontology Engineering. Ontology engineers are not supposed to succeed right from the beginning when (individually or collaboratively) developing an ontology. Despite their expertise and any assistance from domain experts, revision cycles are the rule. Research on the automation of the process of engineering an ontology has improved efficiency and reduced the introduction of unintended meanings by means of interactive ontology editors. Moreover, ontology matching has studied the process of manual, off-line alignment of two or more known ontologies. Problem Solving and Communication for Agents. Agents that communicate with one another without having full access to their respective ontologies or that are programmed to face new non-classifiable situations must change their own ontology dynamically at run-time -- they cannot rely on human intervention. Research on this problem has either concentrated on non-monotonic reasoning and belief revision or on changes of signature, i.e., of the grammar of the ontology's language, with a minimal disruption to the original theory. ARCOE-10 will provide a multi-disciplinary forum, where differences in methodologies, representation languages and techniques are over-arched and hopefully overcome. Accordingly, the workshop will be structured into four tracks: three of them will focus on specific areas, the fourth one will foster links and integration. Track 1: Context and Ontology This track will select and present works about Context and Ontology, a well-established research area that has mainly concentrated on the relationship between contexts and ontologies for distributed information and for the enhancement of software agents. Track 2: Common Sense and Non-Monotonic Reasoning for Ontologies This track will select and present works about logic-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, a classic area of AI, which since its origins has produced remarkable results on logic-based methods for supporting knowledge engineers and for enhancing software agents. Track 3: Automated Ontology Evolution This track will select and present works about Automated Ontology Evolution, an area which in recent years has been drawing the attention of Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning on the automation of ontology evolution. Track 4: Links and integration This track will foster links and integration by means of invited talks and (panel) discussions. Topics that are likely to be covered are: the formalisation of software engineering concepts for ontology development; the relationship between automated reasoning and information retrieval; relationships between representation languages; relationships between canonical domains; relationships between contexts and ontology evolution and between Non-Monotonic Reasoning and ontology evolution. ARCOE-10 will bring the participants to position the various approaches with respect to one another. Hopefully, though, the workshop will also start a process of cross-pollination and set out the constitution of a truly interdisciplinary research-community dedicated to automated reasoning about contexts and ontology evolution. -- Topics -- Track 1: Context and Ontology Submissions are welcome on the role of context and ontology in areas that include but are not limited to the following ones: - Information Integration - The role of context and ontology in Distributed Reasoning and Knowledge Management - The role of context and ontology in Semantic Web - Multi-Agent Systems - Data Grid and Grid Computing - Pervasive Computing and Ambient Intelligence - Peer-to-peer Information Systems - Comparison of uses of contexts and ontologies Track 2: Common Sense and Non-Monotonic Reasoning Submissions are welcome on the role of common sense and non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies in areas that include but are not limited to the following ones: - Ontology Debugging, Update and Merging - Inconsistency Handling, Belief Revision and Theory Change for DL ontologies - Uncertainty Handling, Defeasible Reasoning and Argumentation in ontologies - Heuristic and Approximate Reasoning - Planning and Reasoning about Action and Change on the Semantic Web - Rules and Ontologies - Temporal and Spatial Reasoning Track 3: Automated Ontology Evolution Submissions are welcome on the role of automated ontology evolution in areas that include but are not limited to the following ones: - Ontology fault diagnosis and repair - Problem Solving - Agent Communication - Persistent Agents in Changing Environment - Multimedia on the Web - IT and Automated Reasoning -- Attendance -- Authors will be selected on significance of their submission and will be preferred to simple attendees. Attendees will be selected on a first-come-first-served basis. Please check http://ecai2010.appia.pt/ for registration procedure and fees. -- Submission Requirements and Dates -- ARCOE-10 will accept submissions of long abstracts, for both long presentations and poster presentations. The distinction during the selection-phase will be based on the significance and the quality of submissions as well as oriented towards fostering cross-pollination and discussions during the event. All selected abstracts will be included in the Working Notes. Authors are kindly requested to provide keywords upon submission. The format for submissions is the same as that of ECAI-10. Please check http://ecai2010.appia.pt/ for the style files. Submissions should be no longer than 2 pages and in PDF format.

It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge 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 presentations and discussions 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. ======================================================== Please join us at: IEEE Services Computing Community To join, please visit https://www.ieeecommunities.org/services and follow instructions to apply for free membership.
