-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] ICMS'2010: 2nd call for papers Datum: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:54:15 +0200 Von: Nathalie Revol <Nathalie.Revol(a)ens-lyon.fr> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> The Second Call for Papers of The Third International Congress on Mathematical Software [ ICMS'2010 --- developers meeting ] (March 26, 2010, Revised April 8,2010) Dates: September 13 to 17 (Monday to Friday), 2010 Place: Department of Mathematics, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan Webpage: http://www.math.kobe-u.ac.jp/icms2010/ http://www.mathsoftware.org/ OVERVIEW This congress is the third in the series, where the first meeting was held in Beijing in 2002 and the previous one in Castro Urdiales, SPAIN in 2006; see http://www.icms2006.unican.es/ . The first two meetings were satellite events to ICM (International Congress of Mathematicians). We will have a presentation booth at ICM 2010 in India. We will welcome developers of mathematical software systems as well as researchers in algorithms and mathematicians who are interested in the development of mathematical software and systems. This is an almost unique chance to meet people in different disciplines in mathematics and computer science and exchange ideas on developments on mathematical software and systems. While the main audience of this meeting is assumed to be developers of mathematical software and software systems, we welcome the participation of mathematicians and scientists who are interested in using mathematical software for their research. The proceedings of the congress is planned and all accepted papers and short communications will be published as Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. (The proceedings of ICMS 2006 was published as LNCS Volume 4151.) AIM AND SCOPE Mathematics has a wide variety of branches. Despite this, we in the International Congress on Mathematical Software believe that mathematics is fundamentally just one thing. Algebra, geometry and analysis are examples of separate specialities within mathematics, and of course we consider each of them valuable and hence study them. But we take the view that any branch of mathematics can borrow freely from these specialities. It is often worthwhile delving into them for ideas that might lead to fundamental new discoveries. The same can be said of mathematical software systems: the study of mathematical software is a coherent whole. We believe that the appearance of mathematical software is a fundamentally new event in mathematics of increasing importance. Mathematical software systems are used to construct examples, to prove theorems, and to find new mathematical phenomena. Conversely, mathematical research often motivates developments of new algorithms and new systems. Beyond mathematics, mathematical software systems are becoming indispensable tools in many branches of science and technology. The development of mathematical software systems relies on the cooperation of mathematicians, algorithm designers, programmers, and the feedback from users. The main audience of this congress is the community of mathematical software developers and programming mathematicians, but we also intend to provide an opportunity to discuss these topics with mathematicians and users from application areas. Topics include but are not limited to: 1. Design and implementation of mathematical software 2. Software engineering problems for mathematical software. 3. Mathematics and media including user interfaces and integration of documents and software systems. 4. Mathematics related to mathematical software (experiments, algorithms). 5. Scientific and high performance computing. 6. Applications of mathematical software.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Deadline Extension - CfP Service-orientation in Electronic Markets Datum: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:47:55 +0200 Von: Karen Heyden <heyden(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Please note the extended deadline to May 30, 2010 for the focus theme section "Service-orientation in Electronic Markets" ***************************************************** Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business Call for Papers for the Focus Theme Section on 'Service-orientation in Electronic Markets' ***************************************************** Guest Editors: * Rainer Alt, University of Leipzig, Germany * Witold Abramowicz, University of Poznan, Poland * Haluk Demirkan, Arizona State University, USA Service-orientation has emerged as one of the silver bullets in management and computer science fields. It combines research on economic services, which in opposition to physical goods, are immaterial in nature. While theories from the organizational and marketing science usually capture the nature of these products, engineering disciplines focus on shaping and developing these information goods, and the information systems field focuses on integrating services perceived as encapsulated application functionalities with standardized interfaces. These research streams also converge in the new interdisciplinary area of service science, which integrates the principles, design, and management of economic and technical services. Service science is interested in new forms of value creation using services for organizations, industry structures, consumers, societies and so forth. The purpose of this special issue is to analyze the linkage between service-orientation and electronic markets. Among the relevant questions are how service oriented solutions provide value to electronic markets, how electronic Markets improve the effectiveness of service industries such as education, healthcare, legal, logistics, and others. In fact, service orientation and electronic markets, are interdependent and closely linked. First of all, electronic markets are coordination services that provide platforms for the economic exchange of information on goods or services and value. Second, electronic markets are intra- and inter- organizational in nature, and service-oriented business processes, architectures and infrastructures are commonly regarded as enablers for the interoperability between organizations. Third, service-oriented concepts rely on intermediaries that support the bundling of basic services towards more comprehensive services and that operate key architecture elements, such as registries and/or repositories. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Services and service-oriented platforms for service orchestration and provisioning * Services of electronic markets (e.g. payment, logistics, security, trust, etc.) * Service science and electronic markets * Service governance issues in electronic markets * Service-orientation and value chain management * Business assessment of service-orientation (cost, benefits, performance) * Quality of services in electronic markets * Configuration, personalization and evaluation of business services * Management and customization of services * Concepts for service operation in/for electronic markets * Industrialization und standardization of services * Services modeling and simulation in/for electronic markets * Service pricing and revenue strategies * Business models of electronic service markets * Core mechanisms of B2B electronic markets of services * Service directories and electronic markets All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets' publication standards. Methodological and theoretical pluralism (empirical or theoretical work, qualitative research, design science, prototypes ...) is welcomed by the journal. Full papers are invited to be submitted by April, 30, 2010. All papers must be original, not published or under review elsewhere.

One typical example is education. The impact of distance learning to traditional universities in particular allows educational professionals to rethink about how to efficiently and effectively using multimedia technologies to improve instruction, as well as to encourage students to learn. Although multimedia technologies have already been used widely in e-learning, various considerations should be carefully addressed from both pedagogical and technological perspectives, to ensure the successful incorporation of these technologies in e-learning. This ACM workshop aims to discuss problems, current studies, and solutions in how to use multimedia and communication technologies to improve e-learning. Especially, presentations should address the difference between using and without using multimedia technologies in education. Practical solutions are encouraged, although pedagogical theories may be used to support the solutions. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM. Topics of interests include but are not limited to the following: · Efficient Authoring Methods for Instruction Creation/Generation · Management of Multimedia Learning Objects · Multimedia Edutainment Technologies · Multimedia Technologies for Collaborative Learning · Multimedia Technologies for Game-based Learning · Multimedia Technologies for Mobile/Situated Learning · Multimodal Interactions for e-Learning · Pedagogical Issues of using Multimedia Technologies in e-Learning · Real-time Delivery of Multimedia Instructions · Retrieval of Multimedia Learning Objects · Server and System Architecture for Multimedia Instructions · Usability Study of Multimedia Learning Objects * * *Submission Details* Each paper for submission should be formatted using the ACM Proceedings templates <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Deadline extension: 10 May 2010 “Beyond the Internet?” – ITU Kaleidoscope 2010” Datum: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:11:12 -0700 Von: Sameera Abar <sameera.abar(a)gmail.com> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ------------------------------------------------------ Sincere apologies for the cross-postings. ------------------------------------------------------ LAST CALL FOR PAPERS In order to accommodate various requests, the deadline for full papers submission to ITU Kaleidoscope 2010 "Beyond the Internet? Innovation for future networks and services" is extended by 10 days, i.e. 10 May 2010. --------------------------------------------------- BEYOND THE INTERNET - Innovations for future networks and services - an ITU-T Kaleidoscope event technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society Pune, India, 13 - 15 December 2010 Call for Papers Deadline 10 May 2010 extended ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010 Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - is the third in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences that bring together a wide range of views from universities, industry and research. The aim of Kaleidoscope conferences is to identify information and communication technologies (ICTs) for which the development of standards can turn innovations into successful products and services. The rise of mobile access and its integration with optical transport networks pose key questions: how should the current architecture evolve to accommodate fixed-mobile integration and the demand of services and applications, 10-15 years from now? How could the cloud and grid computing models be integrated? And, what will the social and economic impact of these innovations be in the future information society? Some experts question whether the current underlying architecture is sufficiently robust to evolve and adapt to future demands and especially to address security concerns, or if a "clean slate" approach is needed to develop a really innovative Internet of the future. Contributors seeking to bring innovations for future networks and services might have to challenge the fundamental networking design principles of the Internet. Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - is calling for original academic papers offering innovative and daring approaches towards the Internet of the future. Kaleidoscope 2010 aims to be a unique opportunity to share views on the future ubiquitous communications and to collect broad, kaleidoscopic views building upon lessons learnt from existing networks and services. Objectives Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - will highlight multidisciplinary aspects of future ICTs, based on contributions from the world's universities, industry and academic institutions. The focus will be on innovative technologies and their impact on the evolution of Internet architectures, services and applications, as well as societal and economic challenges. New this year In addition to a local universities exhibition, outstanding keynote speakers and invited papers, ITU will host in 2010 Standards Corner, a series of standardization tutorials and Jules Verne's corner, a special space for science fiction writers and dreamers. Supporters Organized by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) in partnership with STES, GISFI and CMAI, with IEEE ComSoc as Technical Co-Sponsor, and supported by Cisco and Nokia Siemens Networks. Audience Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - is targeted at all specialists with a role in the field including researchers, academics, students, engineers, regulators, top decision-makers and thinkers from all over the world who look into the future.

The conference, which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range of topics in Artificial Intelligence and related disciplines and provides an ideal forum for international scientific exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. The AIMSA conference series has provided a biennial forum for the presentation of AI research and development since 1984. The conference, which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range of topics in Artificial Intelligence and related disciplines and provides an ideal forum for international scientific exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. AIMSA 2010 is supported by ECCAI, European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence. As its name indicates, the conference is dedicated to Artificial Intelligence in its entirety. However, for AIMSA 2010, we would like to put the emphasis on the application and leverage of Artificial Intelligence technologies in the context of knowledge societies where knowledge creation, accessing, acquiring, and sharing empower individuals and communities. A number of AI techniques play a key role in responding to these challenges. Artificial Intelligence is extensively used in the development of systems for effective management and flexible and personalized access to large knowledge bases, in the semantic web technologies that enable sharing and reuse of and reasoning over semantically annotated resources, in the emerging social semantic web applications that aid humans to collaboratively build semantics, in the construction of intelligent environments for supporting (human and agent) learning, etc. In building such intelligent applications, Artificial Intelligence techniq ues are typically combined with results from other disciplines such as the social sciences, distributed systems, databases, digital libraries, information retrieval, service oriented applications, etc. AIMSA 2010 aims to reflect this plethora of avenues with special attention to works that demonstrate the potential of AI for supporting learning, sharing, and amplifying of knowledge. TOPICS The conference welcomes submissions of original, high quality papers in all areas of Artificial Intelligence, including but not limited to: * AI in education * Ambient intelligence * Automated reasoning * Collaborative knowledge construction * Computer vision * Data mining and data analysis * Data semantics * Dialogue management and argumentation * Distributed AI * Information integration * Information retrieval * Intelligent decision support * Intelligent techniques for personalization and recommendation * Intelligent user interfaces * Knowledge engineering * Knowledge representation and reasoning * Large scale knowledge management * Logic and constraint programming * Machine learning * Multi-agent systems * Multimedia systems * Natural language processing * Neural networks * Ontologies (creating, learning, mapping, merging, alignment, evolution) * Planning * Robotics * Semantic interoperability * Semantic peer-to-peer and grid systems * Semantic web content creation and annotation * Semantic web for desktops or personal information management * Semantic web for e-learning, e-business, e-culture, e-government, healthcare * Semantic web inference schemes * Semantic web services (description, invocation, composition) * Semantic web technologies for collaboration and cooperation * Social network analysis, including community discovery and structure * Social networks and processes on the semantic web * Trust, privacy, and security on the web * Visualization and modelling and AI All submissions will be subject to academic peer review by at least two members of the program committee. Selection criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and quality of presentation. For each accepted paper or poster, at least one author is required to attend the conference to present it. The best paper of the conference, as selected by the AIMSA 2010 programme committee, will receive the Best Paper Award during the conference. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: May 09, 2010 Notification of acceptance: June 13, 2010 Deadline for camera-ready: June 26, 2010 Conference: September 8-10, 2010 SUBMISSION DETAILS Papers have to be submitted electronically (in PDF format) on the address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aimsa2010.

One obvious reason could be direct cost, considering that there are no licensing fees in general. Another reason could be the perception of the fact that if customization is inevitable, why not adopt a solution that exposes its code to the client company, which may increase the possibility to freely adapt the system to its needs. Adapting is a crucial point to ERPs, given that, enterprise systems in general are not off-the-shelf programs that can be instantaneously used, which reinforces the freedom of manipulating the code by itself in FOS-ERP: if the vendor changes its contract terms, the client company is not locked in to a particular solution supplier. Furthermore, if, for both kinds of ERP, proprietary or free, the fact that integration among processes can by itself be a source of competitive advantage, this can maybe be extrapolated to the possibility of changing source code to drive an even better advantage. * * *Book Objective* The main goal of the book is to be a collection of chapters that provide a broad coverage of the various aspects that differentiates FOS-ERP of P-ERP, discussing technical, economic and social matters. Also, the future of FOS-ERP in an ever changing marketing represents prospective chapters for the book. * * *Target Audience* Researchers, graduation students, ERP consultants, and Free/Open Software developers in general will find in dept information on FOS-ERP, from the technical to the economical and social aspects. *Recommended Topics* Given the growing interest and acceptance of FOS-ERP and the small number of references to this subject, this book proposes to analyze a series of topics where FOS-ERP differs from P-ERP, including technical, economic and social aspects and their possible impacts in ERP global scenario: 1. FOS-ERP as an emerging Enterprise Information Systems field, in commercial and research terms: why FOS-ERP is different of P-ERP, in technical and economical aspects 2. Opportunities and challenges for both developers and adopters of FOS-ERP: which kind of problems and opportunities can FOS-ERP developers and adopters face and how they can develop those. 3. Evaluating FOS-ERP: in what way does a FOS-ERP differs from a P-ERP in terms of evaluation. 4. Business models for FOS-ERP: how a company can profit from a FOS-ERP. 5. Technology transfer, from the developer to the adopter company: since the code is open, which kind of technology transfer can happen between the supplier and the buyer of a FOS-ERP. 6. Opportunities for FOS-ERP among SMEs: why FOS-ERP can be a good opportunity for SMEs. 7. Opportunities for FOS-ERP in Developing Countries: why FOS-ERP can be a good opportunity for Developing Countries. 8. Opportunities for FOS-ERP research: how researchers can benefit from the FOS-ERP’s open technologies. 9. Success cases: real-world successful FOS-ERP implementation cases and the experience obtained from them. 10. Free/Open Source ERP development: frameworks, tools, and modeling methods. 11. General directions and trends on FOS-ERP. Please note this list is not exclusive; other topics not listed here, but related to FOS-ERP, are certainly welcome. * * *Publisher* This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference,” and “IGI Publishing” imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com <http://www.igi-pub.com/>.

Kepler University of Linz (Austria) have the pleasure to invite you to submit papers to the 18th Interdisciplinary Information Management Talks in Jindrichuv Hradec, Czech Republic September 8th - 10th, 2010 (Wed-Fri) In the 17 years of its history IDIMT conference have established itself as a truly interdisciplinary and international forum for the exchange of concepts and visions in the area of complex and/or software intensive systems, management and engineering of information and knowledge, systemic thinking, business engineering, and related topics. The increasing pervasiveness of systems and the related importance of information as a vital resource requires the consideration of synergies in an interdisciplinary and holistic cooperation of various disciplines such as systems engineering, electronics, management techniques, sociology, business, and education. IDIMT involves a multi-national, multidisciplinary audience in discussing up-to- date and evolving topics and issues. The conference follows the well-established pattern of a single stream of sessions, each introduced by a keynote and followed by shorter position papers, their full text being included in the proceedings. At least 20 minutes are set aside at each session for a plenary discussion. Draft versions of keynote papers will be available on the conference web site (www.idimt.org) by end of March 2010 to enable participants to formulate their position papers. Submitted draft papers are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Final acceptance is subject to fulfilling the reviewer's suggestions and demands. The proceedings (available at the start of conference) are published in the Series "Informatik" of the "Universitätsverlag Rudolf Trauner, Linz, Austria" with an Austrian ISBN-number and included in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index - ISI Web of Knowledge. The best papers will be also published in the Systems Integration Journal.

Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally addresses adaptivity, robustness, and controlled emergence as well as nature-inspired concepts for self-organization. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems, and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persistable, security/privacy protectable, etc. A series of grand challenges exists to achieve practical autonomic or organic systems with truly trustworthy services. Started in 2005, the series of ATC conferences has been held at Nagasaki, Vienna, Three Gorges (China), Hong Kong, Oslo and Brisbane. ATC 2010 will include a highly selective program of technical papers, accompanied by workshops, panel discussions and keynote speeches. Established as a premier venue in the area of autonomic and trusted computing, ATC 2010 will offer a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). Topics include but are not limited to the following: - AC/OC Theory and Models:Models, negotiation, cooperation, competition,self-organization, emergence, verification etc. - AC/OC Architectures and Systems:Autonomic elements& their relationship, frameworks,middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. - AC/OC Components and Modules:Multi-core CPU, memory, storage, database, device,server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. - AC/OC Communication and Services:Networks, self-organized net, web service, P2P, grid,EaaS, could, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. - AC/OC Tools and Interfaces:Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development,test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. - Trust Models and Specifications:Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust,over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. - Trust-related Security and Privacy:Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy,intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. - Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems: Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy,robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. - Trustworthy Services and Applications:Trustworthy Internet/web/P2P/grid/cloud services,secured mobile services, novel applications, etc. - Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues: Trust standards and issues related to personality,ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. ******************************************************************* ATC2010 will host some workshops on various technical subjects (see the web site). ******************************************************************* Important Dates: Conference Dates: OCT 26-29, 2010 paper Submission: April 30, 2010 Authors Notification: June 30, 2010 Final Manuscript Due: July 30, 2010 ******************************************************************* PAPER PUBLICATION Accepted main conference papers are planned to be published by Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, EI indexed). At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings.
