-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP: GECON2010 - 7th Intl. Workshop on Economics of Grids, Clouds,Systems, and Services; submission deadline May 28th, 2010 Datum: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 08:37:27 +0200 (CEST) Von: Jörn Altmann <jorn.altmann(a)acm.org> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; Call for Papers GECON2010 7th International Workshop on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services http://www.my-groups.de/gecon2010 Ischia - Naples, Italy August 30-31, 2010 Co-located with Euro-Par 2010 Important Dates - Paper Registration Deadline: May 21th, 2010 - Paper Submission Deadline: May 28th, 2010 - Notification of Paper Acceptance: June 28th, 2010 - Camera Ready Paper Deadline: July 12th, 2010 This workshop follows the very successful past workshops (http://www.my-groups.de/gecon), where high-quality technical papers have been presented. - The proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS. - Extended versions of 4-6 accepted papers will be invited to get published by Elsevier in a special issue of the Journal of Future Generation Computing Systems. Scope The commercial provisioning of computing resources is becoming ever more popular under the term “Cloud Computing”. The existing services are very diverse, ranging from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) models, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) models to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models. Although the economics of these services is not understood yet and the interoperability of such services is still lacking, a common market for simple computing services is slowly developing. It allows buyers and sellers of computing services to trade easily. However, it is still not possible that any market participant can act as a resource provider or resource seller, depending on the current demand. Another example of developing an open market is the Web2.0-based service aggregation capability, which enables consumers to create new services by creating “mashups”. The benefit of these solutions is that value can be created through the combination of services, excess capacity can be sold to reduce costs, and demand peaks can be covered with outsourcing to external Grid resource providers. These examples of services are still simple. But, in the future, these services could not only be based around the offer of resources (e.g., network, storage, computing for mass markets) but also complex services encapsulating high-performance-computing algorithms or business workflows. The GECON workshop invites researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present and discuss economics-related issues and solutions associated with the development of these services. Contributed work can comprise extensions to existing technologies, successful deployments of technologies, economic analysis, and theoretical concepts. The purpose of this workshop is to gather original work and build a strong community in this increasingly important area of a future information economy. Researchers and practitioners are invited to present final results and work in progress. However, submissions have to show original research in the area of Distributed Computing (Grid, Cloud and Peer-2-Peer Computing), Systems, and Economics. The topics of interest are: - Service Science - Business modeling - Service value chain and value networks - Economic modeling of networks, systems, software, and data - Software-as-a-Service models - Web2.0 and Peer-to-Peer system based charging - Markets, market mechanisms, and market models - Service-orientation of Cloud systems - Utility computing models for networked systems - Knowledge utility models - Business Process Analysis - Economics of Information Goods - Incentives for participation and resource sharing - Economic-enhanced Grid services - Analysis of pricing schemes for Cloud systems - Reports on test beds and operation - Analysis of application scenarios - Resource (computing, bandwidth, storage) selection and allocation - Metering, accounting, and charging - Billing systems and AAA systems - Decision support systems for users and providers - Capacity planning systems - Service level agreements (SLAs) - Economic aspects of XaaS Virtual organizations - Trust, security, and risk management - Standardization - Virtual organizations - Impact of legal requirements on distributed computing - Economics-aware operation of applications - Service Composition, service decomposition, service provisioning - Economics of software - Sustainable Infrastructure development Submission Guidelines - Original, high-quality papers and works in progress, which are not currently under review by another conference, will be considered. - Submitted papers should not exceed 14 pages in Springer LNCS format (including references and appendices). For further details, visit the GECON2010 Web page. - Manuscripts will be reviewed based on technical merit, originality, and relevance. Past acceptance rate of Gecon has been below 33%. - Paper submissions are managed electronically via the EasyChair Website (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gecon2010) Workshop Chair Jörn Altmann (Seoul National University, South-Korea), jorn.altmann(at)acm.org Omer F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] RecSys 2010 International Workshop on Information Heterogeneity and Fusion in Recommender Systems (HetRec 2010) Datum: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:30:31 +0300 Von: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il> An: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================================ 1st Call for Papers International Workshop on Information Heterogeneity and Fusion in Recommender Systems (HetRec 2010) 26 or 30 September 2010 | Barcelona, Spain http://ir.ii.uam.es/hetrec2010/ In conjunction with the 4th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2010) http://recsys.acm.org/2010/ ============================================================ +++++++++++++++ Important dates +++++++++++++++ * Paper submission: 30 June 2010 * Notification of paper acceptance: 22 July 2010 * Camera-ready copies of accepted papers: 30 July 2010 * HetRec 2010 Workshop: 26 or 30 September 2010 ++++++++++ Motivation ++++++++++ Recent years have shown much progress in the field of recommender systems, including the development of innovative models and very efficient algorithms. Almost all current systems are trying to make best use of a single kind of data, and are designed for specific domains and applications, without explicitly addressing the heterogeneity of the existing information. As an example, some systems are based on analyzing user ratings, while others concentrate on understanding purchase history. Recognizing this limitation, research attention has been given to finding ways for combining/integrating/mediating user models for the purpose of providing better personalized services to users in many information seeking and ecommerce services. See for example the work done in the series of UbiqUM workshops that traditionally takes place at conferences related to user modelling, such as UMAP, IUI and ECAI. In spite of prior work, however, the issue remained one of the major challenges for recommender systems. The heterogeneity of personal information sources can be identified in any of the three pillars of a recommendation algorithm: the modelling of user preferences, the description of resource contents, and the modelling and exploitation of the context in which recommendations are made. Increasingly, users create and manage more and more profiles in online systems for different purposes, such as leisure (e.g., Facebook), professional interests (e.g., LinkedIn), or specialized applications (e.g., LearnCentral for educational issues, PatientsLikeMe for health issues, etc.). Similarly, rated, tagged or bookmarked resources belong to distinct multimedia: text (e.g., del.icio.us, BibSonomy, Google News), image (e.g., Flickr, Picasa), audio (e.g., Last.fm, Spotify), or video (e.g., MovieLens, NetFlix, YouTube). Moreover, recommendation algorithms may also present heterogeneity based on different types of input (e.g., explicit feedback from ratings, reviews, tags, etc. vs. implicit feedback from records of views, queries and purchases), or based on different levels of input granularities (e.g., a user may not only rate individual songs, but also albums, artists or even a full music genre). Finally, contextual factors also increase heterogeneity in recommender systems. Location and time are key external elements that may affect the relevance of the recommendations, as shown in recent works. Many other factors can be taken into account as well, such as physical and social environment, device and network settings, and external events, to name a few. Approaches that integrate several of these factors into recommendation models are needed. HetRec workshop aims to attract the attention of students, faculty and professionals both from academia and industry who are interested in addressing and exploiting any of the above forms of information heterogeneity and fusion in recommender systems. The work goals are broad. First, we would like to raise awareness of the potential of using multiple information sources. Then, we look for sharing expertise and suitable models. Another dire need is for strong datasets, and one of our aims is to establish benchmarks and standard datasets on which the problem would be studied following the workshop. Our hope is that this workshop will put a basis for a line of works, and will help shaping the research agenda. ++++++++++++++++++ Topics of interest ++++++++++++++++++ The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in addressing the challenges posed by information heterogeneity in recommender systems and studying information fusion in this context. We aim at identifying the main challenges, suggesting and discussing novel ideas for addressing these challenges, and proposing a research agenda for future research at the domain. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Heterogeneity and fusion of information in user profiles * Fusion of user profiles from different representations * Combination of short- and long-term user preferences * Combination of different types of user preferences: tastes, interests, needs, goals, mood, etc. * Cross domain recommendations, based on user preferences about different interest aspects (e.g., by merging movie and music tastes) * Cross representation recommendations, considering diverse sources of user preferences: explicit and implicit feedback Heterogeneity and fusion of information in recommended resources * Recommendation of resources of different nature: news, reviews, scientific papers, etc. * Recommendation of resources belonging to different multimedia: text, image, audio, video * Recommendation of resources annotated in different languages Heterogeneity and fusion of information in contextual features * Contextualisation of user preferences (e.g., user preferences at work, on holidays, etc.) * Cross context recommendations (e.g., by merging information about location, time, social aspects, etc.) * Multi-dimensional recommendation based on several contextual features (e.g., physical and social environment, device and network settings, external events, etc.) ++++++++++++++++++++ Organizing Committee ++++++++++++++++++++ * Peter Brusilovsky, University of Pittsburgh, USA * Iván Cantador, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain * Yehuda Koren, Yahoo!

Many international efforts and resources are being funneled into the research and development of Web services, particularly by the Cloud Computing and Grid Computing communities. The CLAWS workshop more than scratches the surface of Web services by digging into the very heart of the technologies that have driven the Web services evolution. The focus of the CLAWS workshop is the complexity, scalability, and performance of XML and non-XML Web services and effective ideas and approaches to address remaining issues. Examples are autocode generators, programming languages, pre-processors and compilers for language extensions, XML data bindings, type mappings, object serialization, and software/hardware architectures. The CLAWS workshop will promote the exchange of new ideas and sharing of results related to on-going Web services computing research. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- Authors are invited to submit 8-page papers by May 1, 2010 and must submit through the workshop's electronic submission service accessible at the workshop site. Papers will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers. Papers will be evaluated with respect to originality, significance, clarity, technical soundness, and relevance to the workshop. Results presented in submitted papers must be unpublished and should not have been submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of other conferences or workshops. One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the workshop. The proceedings of the workshop will be published with the ICPP conference proceedings. WORKSHOP TOPICS --------------- The topics of the CLAWS workshop include (but are not necessarily limited to) the research and application of compilers and language design aspects to Web Services and Web Service architectures: * Autocode generators, pre-processors, and compilers for Web services * Programming languages and language extensions for Web services * XML integration in programming languages * XML data binding and XML schema type mapping * XML protocol processing optimization * XML query optimization * Web services architectures * Parallel Web services * Web services composition * Web services server technologies * Matchmaking for Web services * Quality of service assurance for Web services * Scalability of Web services * Resource management for Web services * Performance evaluation of Web services * Performance modeling of Web services * Simulation of Web services * Mission-critical Web services * Embedded Web services CONTACTS -------- Robert van Engelen: engelen(a)cs.fsu.edu Madhu Govindaraju: mgovinda(a)cs.binghamton.edu =============================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.iccsa.org For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.iccsa.org

Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft fuer Informatik e.V. 27.09.-02.10.10, Leipzig ************************************************************** aufmerksam machen und zur Einreichung von Beitraegen fuer den Workshop einladen. Cloud Computing kann als Weiterentwicklung hin zu einer ganzheitlichen Serviceorientierung bei der flexiblen Bereitstellung von IT-Ressourcen verstanden werden. Diese Entwicklung revolutioniert die traditionelle Wertschoepfung im IT-Dienstegeschaeft und stellt etablierte IT-Dienstleister vor grosse Herausforderungen. Gleichzeitig stellt es aber auch eine Chance fuer zahlreiche kleine Unternehmen dar, innovative Dienste durch Cloud Computing anzubieten. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die Frage, wie sich die Wertschoepfung im IT-Markt durch Cloud Computing veraendern wird, welche Akteure am Markt auftreten, wie erfolgreiche Geschaeftsmodelle aussehen koennen und welchen Einfluss diese neuen Modelle auf bestehende IT-Architekturen haben. Ziel dieses Workshops ist es, aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse aus den Bereichen Cloud Computing, Wertschoepfungs- und Geschaeftsmodelle und Service Management zu buendeln und Ansatzpunkte fuer Methoden und Werkzeuge zur Entwicklung und Nutzbarmachung von Cloud Computing aus technologischer und betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht zu identifizieren. Eingeladen sind gleichermassen theoretisch-konzeptionelle, empirische (quantitative und qualitative) und gestaltungsorientierte Forschungsbeitraege. Detaillierte Informationen zur Einreichung von Beitraegen finden Sie unter http://informatik2010.opencloudwatch.de/. Wichtige Termine: - 25.04.2010: Einreichungsschluss fuer Beitraege - 24.05.2010: Mitteilung ueber Annahme/Ablehnung - 03.07.2010: Einreichung der ueberarbeiteten finalen Fassung.
