-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] AIMSA 2010: 3rd CFP Datum: Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:17:29 +0200 Von: Guido Boella <guido(a)di.unito.it> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence: Methodology, Systems, Applications AIMSA 2010 - AI and Knowledge Societies: Learning, Sharing, Amplifying - Varna, Bulgaria, 8-10th September, 2010 http://www.aimsaconference.org **** Submission deadline: April 15th, 2010 **** **** Proceedings published by Springer/LNCS **** **** Keynote Speakers **** John Domingue, Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, UK Wolfgang Wahlster, German Research Center for AI, DFKI, Germany Atanas Kyriakov, Ontotext AD, Sirma Group, Bulgaria ***************************************************************** SCOPE The AIMSA conference series has provided a biennial forum for the presentation of Artificial intelligence 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. 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, at least one author is required to attend the conference to present the paper. The best paper of the conference, as selected by the AIMSA 2010 programme committee, will receive the Best Paper Award during the conference.

September 2010 - Hasselt, Belgium.* *3**rd Special Track on /Computer-based Knowledge & Skill Assessment and Feedback in Learning Settings (CAF)/* Online Information: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2010 <http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008> This CfP is also available as PDF: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2010/CAF2010-CfP.pdf <http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008/CAF2008-CfP.pdf> This special track will take place during ICL 2008 in Villach, Austria (23-25 September 2010) as a special program item. /The Special Track CAF 2010/ provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of computer-based knowledge & skill assessment in learning settings and based on that feedback provision for students and teachers. The /International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL)/ is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in interactive computer aided learning. *Background* Our modern life at the beginning of the 21st century is strongly influenced by effects such as rapidly changing and developing information, technology-enhanced communication and information access, and new forms of production and services in a globalized world. This situation requires individuals to adapt their skills and competencies. Consequently, educational objectives and societal expectations have changed significantly in recent years. Modern learning settings must consider learning community aspects as well as learner-centered, knowledge-centered and assessment-centered aspects. By focusing on the assessment, this concept can be further distinguished in (1) summative assessment, performed at the end of a set of learning activities, and (2) formative assessment, which is intended to give continuous feedback to students and teachers. The latter mentioned formative assessment gives information about the current state of knowledge and/or the degree of knowledge acquisition within learning activities. Assessment is an important component of modern teaching and learning processes in face-to-face courses as well as in e-learning environments; it provides valuable feedback to teachers and students which allows the revision and adaptation of teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, assessment activities and results can also be utilized for building and strengthening metacognitive skills. However, continuous and frequent assessment in learning processes may cause excessive efforts and costs. Therefore, computer-assisted assessment systems (CaAS) and computer-based assessment systems (CbAS) have become of increasing interest over the years. Assessment systems may support parts or the entire chain of the assessment lifecycle. This lifecycle includes authoring and management of assessment items, compilation of specific tests, performance of assessments, and compilation and management results. Additionally, emerging interest in the sharing and re-use of assessment items or compiled assessment tests and the exchangeability of assessment outcomes has resulted in standardization efforts, such as the IMS Question & Test Interoperability Specification (IMS QTI). The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organisations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. We invite submissions that deal with issues including, but not limited to: * Aspects of formative and summative assessment * History and challenges of e-assessment * Computer-supported assessment rubric * Computer-based knowledge & skill assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported peer assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported self-assessment and group assessment * Computer-based student and teacher feedback about knowledge state and acquisition * Computer-based assessment in adaptive e-learning * Web 2.0 and assessment & feedback for individual and group learning * Automated essay grading * Natural short answer assessment * Assessment and feedback in computer-based simulations * Assessment and feedback in game-based learning settings * Test & training data and evaluation procedures * Reuse, Interoperability and Standardization * Security and Privacy *Important Dates* * 21 June 2010: Submission of full papers (8 pages) * 31 July 2010: Notification of acceptance * 25 Aug. 2010: Camera ready version (8 pages) * 15.-17.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: ACT4SOC 2010, 23 July, Athens, Greece Datum: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 14:26:34 +0200 Von: <B.Sapkota(a)ewi.utwente.nl> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for cross posting. =================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS =================================================================== 4th International Workshop on Architectures, Concepts and Technologies for Service Oriented Computing - ACT4SOC http://www.icsoft.org/ACT4SOC.htm 23 July, 2010 - Athens, Greece Held in conjunction with Fifth International Conference on Software and Data Technologies - ICSOFT 2010 In cooperation with IICREST and SEEKDA Deadline for workshop paper submissions: 6 April 2010 INTRODUCTION Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has emerged as a new computing paradigm for designing, building and using software applications to support business processes in heterogeneous, distributed and continuously changing environments. The architectural foundation for SOC is provided by the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which states that applications expose their functionality as services in a uniform and technology-independent way such that they can be discovered and invoked over the network. Claimed benefits of SOC include cheaper and faster development of business applications through repeated aggregation of services, better reuse of software artifacts and legacy applications through service wrappings, and easier adaptation to changes in the business environment through replacement and reconfiguration of services. In order to realize these benefits routinely with SOC, for realistic business settings with complex IT environments, many challenges still need to be addressed. For example, supporting business processes and collaborations in an open service-oriented world requires a better understanding of integration problems along different dimensions. First of all, alignment between business demands and application functions has to be achieved. This requirement for vertical integration should drive the aggregation of services, from basic IT services to rich business services, to achieve the desired or given business processes. Secondly, horizontal integration has to be considered if business collaborations span multiple organizations. In such cases, interoperability between the services has to be ensured at different levels (syntactic, semantic and pragmatic) and on different aspects (information and behavior). Thirdly, we have to assume that business demands as well as IT capabilities will change over time. This evolution will impact existing solutions, and thus require the adaptation, management and maintenance (e.g., versioning, replacing, updating) of services and service compositions. Moreover, changes that occur at one level or on one aspect have to be propagated to other levels and aspects in order to keep the consistency of the integration solution. And finally, all of the above challenges not only exist at design-time, but at run-time as well. Service composition may be on-demand, driven by an end-user service creation activity, and running instances of composite services are subject to changes concerning, for instance, the availability of resources. This implies that service level agreements and associated quality-of-service need to be negotiated, monitored, and controlled in multi-party and heterogeneous environments. GOAL AND TOPICS The goal of the workshop is to focus on the fundamental and practical challenges related to SOC, to discuss what theoretical, architectural or technology foundation is needed, and how this foundation can be supported or realized by new or enhanced infrastructures, standards and/or technologies. The workshop aims at contributing to the dissemination of research results, establishment of a better understanding, and identification of new challenges related to SOC/SOA, by bringing together interested academic and industrial researchers. Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: Service foundation and design issues - principles of SOC/SOA, service science - service modelling approaches - formal specification and analysis - reasoning approaches - model-driven development, platform-independence - service interoperability (semantic, pragmatic), matching and (dynamic) composition - ontology-centered design - requirements-functionality (business-IT) alignment - Web 2.0, social networking, mash-ups - REST vs WS - repeated aggregation of services into composite applications and business processes Service technology and infrastructure issues - architectural patterns - service registry management - requirements management, service evolution - quality-of-service management - cross-domain service delivery - specific technology platform solutions - language-specific solutions - tool support - applicability and performance experiences - service level agreements Service usage issues and applications of SOC/SOA - service registration, update, de-registration - service discovery, matching, selection, replacement - service invocation, interaction, monitoring - service choreography, mediation, orchestration - traceability of technology changes in requirements and vice versa - mobile and ubiquitous applications - health and homecare applications - supply chain management applications - e-commerce applications - experiences regarding SOC in industrial and real-world applications PUBLICATION All accepted papers will be published in a workshop proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and in CD-ROM support. The proceedings will be indexed by DBLP. Best papers of the workshop will be considered for inclusion in a book edited and published by Springer.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: IT's Promise for Emerging Markets, Cutter IT Journal, July 2010

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: IT's Promise for Emerging Markets, Cutter IT Journal, July 2010 Datum: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 16:27:37 +1100 Von: San Murugesan <san(a)computer.org> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: san1(a)internode.net ** *CUTTER IT JOURNAL, July 2010* * * *_Call for Papers_* *IT's Promise for Emerging Markets* *San Murugesan, Guest Editor* *Abstracts Due: 20 April 2010* Articles Due: 28 May 2010 Emerging markets -- which account for two-thirds of the world's population and over 20% of the world's GDP -- are attracting significant interest among the IT industry, businesses and researchers. According to Wikipedia, "Emerging markets are nations with social or business activity in the process of rapid growth and industrialization" [1]. Currently, there are over 25 emerging markets in the world. China, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Russia are the five biggest emerging markets with others including Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Poland, Turkey, and South Korea. Emerging markets are bigger than most people realize -- in their size, population and market potential. Antoine W. van Agtmael, an investment manager and author of "The Emerging Markets Century: How A New Breed of World-Class Companies Is Over Taking The World," argues that the world's center of gravity is already tipping in favor of the emerging economies [2]. They represent a diverse group of societies located around the globe, and are restructuring their economies for growth and further development. They are increasingly using IT services, and each of them is important as an individual market. The combined effect of the group as a whole has significant impact on the IT sector and profession. IT has huge potential to leverage the emerging markets in several areas -- education, heath care, business, economic and human development, and government. Furthermore, new opportunities exist for both the IT industry and the emerging markets to embrace each other -- in terms of how IT can help address real problems faced by emerging economies as well as how emerging markets can embrace IT to improve their quality of life, and their economic and social status. The collaboration of IT and emerging markets presents new opportunities from which both sides can benefit significantly. Doubt remains regarding how much influence IT can have on the standard of living in these countries, although industries such as banking, health care, education and commerce are already benefiting from innovative IT services that allow them access to previously unaccessed vital information. For instance, although Internet access in the small African nation of Zimbabwe is hardly adequate, small business owners are considering mobile commerce. As mobile communication networks have expanded to a large part of the emerging markets, many people, including the illiterate and poor, are now using mobile phones and innovative applications that are emerging in areas such as business, payment, health care and entertainment. Access to the Internet through smart mobile phones and low-cost netbook computers [3] is supporting a dramatic transformation in emerging markets. The IT industry, IT professionals, and researchers have begun to examine and explore how they can seize the opportunities that emerging markets present as well how they can use IT to address real-world problems faced by emerging economies. But emerging markets have different requirements than developed markets and pose some unique challenges. *The July 2010 issue of /Cutter IT Journal/ will examine the role of IT in emerging markets in terms of strategic approaches, concerns, challenges, technological options, market opportunities, and the value and impact IT will have in the emerging markets now and in the future*. *TOPICS OF INTEREST* MAY INCLUDE (but are not limited to) the following: 1. How is IT currently being used in business applications in emerging markets? 2. How can IT help and influence the future of emerging markets? What is the potential of information technology (IT) to support economic and human development in emerging markets? Can IT have a major impact on the standard of living in developing countries? 3. Do emerging markets have different drivers for IT investment and adoption than the developed and matured markets? 4. How can IT help in offering access to vital information and services such as communication, health care, education, and weather forecasting? 5. What innovative applications might better serve the interests of emerging markets in areas such as e-business, e-health, e-education, e-government, and e-media? 6. What are the lessons we have learned from the role IT has played in the emergence of countries like India, China, Korea, and Africa? 7. What are the key issues and challenges emerging markets face in embracing IT for their economic and social development, and how we can address those challenges? 8. Is language a barrier to widespread adoption of IT in emerging markets? If so, how could this barrier be overcome or minimized? 9. What new developments in IT serve the special requirements of emerging markets in areas like interface design, information presentation, and adoption to local languages? 10. What IT infrastructures and application frameworks are better suited for emerging markets? How can IT hardware, software and services be offered at lower costs? 11. How do emerging markets adapt IT and applications to meet their unique needs? 12. How will cloud computing impact the adoption of IT in emerging markets? 13. How is the local IT industry in emerging markets developing? Is it embracing its untapped human potential and other resources? What is its potential? Does the new breed of IT businesses in emerging markets threaten their developed competitors and are they likely to replace these old stalwarts? 14. What strategies are emerging markets such as China, India, and South Korea currently adopting, or planning to adopt, to promote their own IT industry and the use of IT by other industry sectors, including government? 15. What can be done to promote greater IT use so that developing countries can achieve the types of benefits already being enjoyed by many in developed nations? How can the currently prevalent digital divide be narrowed? 16. What are the issues and problems faced by IT users and vendors in the emerging markets? 17. Many consider emerging markets as the new powerhouses of the world economy. Are the economics of IT in emerging markets different from that of established markets? What business models would be appropriate, and what have been successful so far? 18. Are emerging markets the "key swing factor" in the growth of IT? How will the emerging markets shape the future of IT and the IT industry? *TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE IDEA* Please respond to the Guest Editor, Professor San Murugesan at san1[at]internode[dot]net, with a copy to itjournal[at]cutter[dot]com, by *20 April 2010*.
