Fwd: [WI] New Formal Approaches to Language, Computation, and Parallelism

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] New Formal Approaches to Language, Computation, and Parallelism Datum: Wed, 26 May 2010 12:21:13 +0100 Von: Alex Berka <alex.berka(a)isynchronise.com> An: Alex Berka <a(a)a-r-a-m.org> Colleague, please be assured this is the only unsolicited announcement you will receive from Isynchronise Ltd. Consider the hypothesis that natural language has major structural defects, and is inappropriate as a template for formal and programming languages, and as a basis for deriving models of computation. Isynchronise has developed a new approach to language and computation, which is a promising avenue for solving the parallel computing crisis. You are invited to view a 4 page introductory report on www.isynchronise.com <http://www.isynchronise.com/>, published today. A summary appears below. Sincerely. Alex Berka Principal Researcher Isynchonise Ltd 1 Plato Place, 72-74 St. Dionis Rd. London SW6 4TU England. Interlanguages and Synchronic Models of Computation. A novel language system has been developed, which has given rise to promising alternatives to standard formal and processor network models of computation, and to the systolic programming of reconfigurable arrays of Arithmetic Logic Units. A textual structure called the /interstring/ is proposed, which is a string of strings of simple expressions of fixed length. Unlike a conventional tree language expression, an interstring linked with an abstract machine environment, can represent sharing of sub-expressions in a dataflow, and a program incorporating data transfers and spatial allocation of resources, for the parallel evaluation of dataflow output. Formal computation models called the α/-Ram/ family, are introduced, comprising synchronous, reconfigurable machines with finite and infinite memories, designed to support interstring based programming languages (/interlanguages/). Distinct from dataflow, visual programming, graph rewriting, and FPGA models, α/-/Ram/ /machines’ instructions are bit level and execute in situ without fetch. They support high level sequential and parallel languages without the space/time overheads associated with the Turing Machine and λ-calculus, enabling massive programs to be simulated. The elemental devices of one α-Ram machine, called the /Synchronic A-Ram/, are fully connected and simpler than FPGA look up tables. With the addition of a mechanism for expressing propagation delay, the machine may be seen as a formal model for sequential digital circuits and reconfigurable computing, capable of illuminating issues in massive parallelism. A compiler for an applicative-style, interlanguage called /Space/, has been developed for the Synchronic A-Ram. Space can express coarse to very fine grained MIMD parallelism, is modular, strictly typed, and deterministic. Barring operations associated with memory allocation and compilation, Space modules are referentially transparent. A range of massively parallel modules have been simulated on the Synchronic A-Ram, with outputs as expected. Space is more flexible than, and has advantages over existing graph, dataflow, systolic, and multi-threaded programming paradigms. At a high level of abstraction, modules exhibit a small, sequential state transition system, aiding verification. Composable data structures and parallel iteration are straightforward to implement, and allocations of parallel sub-processes and communications to machine resources are implicit. Space points towards a range of highly connected architectural models called /Synchronic Engines/, with the potential to scale in a globally asynchronous, locally synchronous fashion. Synchronic Engines are more general purpose than systolic arrays and GPUs, and bypass programmability and resource conflict issues associated with processor networks. If massive intra chip, wave-based interconnectivity with nanosecond reconfigurability becomes available, Synchronic Engines will be in favourable position to contend for the TOP500 parallel machines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Special Issue on Event Recognition - Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI) Journal Datum: Wed, 26 May 2010 20:45:00 +0300 Von: aai-publicity(a)image.ntua.gr An: undisclosed-recipients:; =============== Call for Papers =============== ======================================= Special Issue on Event Recognition Applied Artificial Intelligence Journal ======================================= Users and organisations collect data in various structured and unstructured digital formats, but they cannot fully utilise these data to support content and resource management. It is evident that the analysis and interpretation of the available data needs to be automated, in order for large data volumes to be transformed into operational knowledge. Events are particularly important pieces of knowledge, as they represent activities of special significance both for users and organisations. Therefore, the recognition of events is of utmost importance. Consider, for example, the recognition of trends given user contributions in social Web 2.0 applications, the recognition of attacks on nodes of a computer network given the exchanged TCP/IP messages, the recognition of suspicious trader behaviour given the transactions in a financial market, and the recognition of various types of cardiac arrhythmia given electrocardiograms. We invite quality submissions focusing on various aspects of event recognition, including analysis of video, audio, text and other sensor data, as well as recognition on fused data sources. While we place emphasis on theoretical contributions, we also welcome papers describing interesting applications. Broad topics include: ===================== - Representation languages for event recognition - Algorithms for real-time event recognition - Probabilistic reasoning for event recognition - Machine learning for event recognition - Event recognition architectures - Benchmarks, performance evaluations, and testbeds - Domain-specific deployments of event recognition systems - Multimedia and social media analysis for event recognition - Clustering, concept recognition and multi-modal/fusion techniques - User interaction and interfaces for event navigation, browsing and management Key Dates ========= December 1, 2010 - Submissions July 10, 2011 - Final Decisions Publication - November 2011 Info ==== Email: events2010(a)iti.gr Journal web site: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/08839514.asp Guest Editors ============= Thomas Winkler, Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Alexander Artikis, NCSR Demokritos Yiannis Kompatsiaris, CERTH-ITI, Greece Phivos Mylonas, NTUA, Greece -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Final CfP: ICSOC 2010 Datum: Tue, 25 May 2010 12:24:00 +0200 Von: Weidlich, Matthias <Matthias.Weidlich(a)hpi.uni-potsdam.de> An: 'wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de' <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> ****************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 8th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC) 2010 December 7 - 10 2010, San Francisco, California, USA www.icsoc.org ****************************************************************** The conference Since 2003, ICSOC has been the prime forum for academics and industry researchers and developers to report and share groundbreaking works in service oriented computing. ICSOC has fostered cross-community scientific excellence by the gathering of experts from various disciplines, such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless& mobile computing, grid computing, networking, service science, management science, and software engineering. Service innovation is key to the future of business. Even in traditionally manufacturing-driven industries, such as IT, the importance of service has surpassed most other corporate competences. The Internet and Web-based services create ever more opportunities for service innovation. Service science is an interdisciplinary approach to the study, design, and implementation of service systems - the specific arrangements of people, organizations, technologies, and information that cocreate value. Service systems are often IT-enabled and knowledge-intensive, and can span different real or virtual organizations. In this multidisciplinary context, researchers and practitioners in management, social sciences, and computer sciences are all working together to promote and facilitate service innovation. While keeping its roots in scientific excellence and technical depth of service technology, ICSOC 2010 aims to combine the general technical issues with application and business-oriented aspects of service design, following the recent emergence of service science as an interdisciplinary foundation to rationalize and integrate various aspects of service systems. ICSOC 2010 will bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines to focus on service innovation--enabled by computational and information technology and by complex interactions among systems. The conference will feature research and industry presentations, keynote presentations, workshops, demonstrations, tutorials, and a PhD track. Please refer to www.icsoc.org for calls for workshops, demonstrations, and tutorials.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] EXTENDED DEADLINE: BPMN 2010 Datum: Tue, 25 May 2010 13:00:13 +0200 Von: Weidlich, Matthias <Matthias.Weidlich(a)hpi.uni-potsdam.de> An: 'wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de' <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Deadline extended to June 7, 2010! -------------------------------------------------------- BPMN 2010 - 2nd International Workshop on BPMN October 13-14, 2010, Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam, Germany Call for Papers www.bpmn2010.org -------------------------------------------------------- The workshop provides a forum for academics and practitioners that share an interest in business process modeling using the Business Process Modeling Notation. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) experiences huge uptake in both academia and industry. It is seen by many as the de-facto standard for business process modeling. It has become very popular with business analysts, tool vendors, practitioners, and end users. BPMN promises to bridge business and IT and brings process design and implemented closer together. To bring this expressive process language to its full potential, challenging research questions have to be tackled. Papers on ongoing and completed research, as well as reports on practical applications and empirical findings are invited. Studies on the transfer of research findings obtained for other process modeling languages to BPMN are encouraged. Topics include, but are not limited to: * BPMN and process modelling methodologies * Consistency between BPMN model types * Execution Semantics of BPMN * BPMN modelling extensions and language profiles * Verification of BPMN models * Quality of BPMN models * Empirical research on BPMN * BPMN and modelling guidelines, best practices * Integration of BPMN and other process languages * Labelling consistency in BPMN * Process execution aspects * Enterprise applications and BPMN * Service composition and BPMN * BPMN and electronic commerce processes * BPMN and e-government * User experience studies * Smart BPMN Editors * Future directions of BPMN Important Dates * Paper submission deadline: June 7, 2010 * Author notification: Jun 30, 2010 * Camera-ready copy: Jul 30, 2010 * Workshop: Oct 13-14, 2010 Submissions Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. BPMN 2010 proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). Papers of up to 15 pages length are invited. They should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. Members of an international program committee will review all submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by three PC members guaranteeing that only papers presenting high quality and innovative research and practical issues in areas relevant to the workshop theme will be accepted.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers for VLDB Workshop: QDB'10 Datum: Tue, 25 May 2010 09:58:45 +0200 Von: Cinzia Cappiello <cappiell(a)elet.polimi.it> An: 'AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------------------------------------------------------- 8th International Workshop on Quality in Databases (QDB'10) In conjunction with VLDB 2010 September 13th, 2010, Singapore http://www.dbis.prakinf.tu-ilmenau.de/QDB2010/ ----------------------------------------------------------- ----- FOCUS ----- The problem of poor data quality in databases, data warehousing and information systems largely and indistinctly affects every application domain. Many data processing tasks (such as information integration, data sharing, information retrieval, and knowledge discovery from databases) require various forms of data preparation and consolidation with complex data processing techniques, because the data input to the algorithms is assumed to conform to nice data distributions, containing no missing, inconsistent or incorrect values. This leaves a large gap between the available "dirty" data and the available machinery to process the data for the application purposes. The purpose of Quality in Databases (QDB) workshop is a qualified forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and get to know the most innovative and advanced experiences for detecting data anomalies and assessing, monitoring, improving, and maintaining the quality of information. More information on the workshop can be found at the workshop Website: http://www.dbis.prakinf.tu-ilmenau.de/QDB2010/. The topics of the workshop will include, but will not be limited to: - Duplicate detection, entity resolution, and entity reconciliation - Conflict resolution and data fusion - Data quality models and algebra - Quality-aware query languages and query processing techniques - Quality-aware analytics solutions - Data scrubbing, data standardization, data cleaning techniques - Data quality in multi-database settings - Relevance of data quality in the database area - Role of metadata in quality measurement - Data quality in Web applications - Quality of information on the Web - Data quality mining - Quality of scientific, geographical, and multimedia databases - Privacy-preserving data quality management - Data quality benchmarks - Data quality assessment, measures and improvement methodologies --------------------------- FORMAT AND PAPER SUBMISSION --------------------------- For the QDB 2010 edition of the workshop, in addition to regular research papers, we would like to promote the presentations of research-in-progress papers and posters. For this reason, we accept three categories for submission: - research papers (should not exceed 10 pages) - short papers (up to 6 pages) - posters (up to 3 pages). In line with our main intent for fruitful discussions and exchanges, in addition to previously unpublished material that can be submitted in any of the above formats, the program committee welcomes short paper submissions and posters that include ideas and material that may have appeared elsewhere, insofar as they are judged to be a sound and valuable contribution to the discussion. Papers to be included in the QDB workshop's research sessions will be reviewed by at least three people from the program committee. Depending on the number and quality of submissions, the best papers of the workshop may be recommended for fast-tracking to the ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality (JDIQ). Paper submissions should be made on-line through QDB 2010's CMT paper submission site: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/QDB2010/ The papers have to be formatted according the VDLB formatting guidelines (see http://www.vldb2010.org/ppp.htm). All papers must be submitted in PDF. Please ensure that any special fonts used are included in the submitted documents. It is essential that the submitted papers print without difficulty on a variety of printers using Adobe Acrobat Reader. In case of paper acceptance, the authors agree that at least one of them will register for the workshop and present the paper. ---------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------- - Deadline for submissions: June 19, 2010 - Notification of acceptance: August 9, 2010 - Camera-ready versions: August 16, 2010 - Workshop: September 13, 2010 ---------------- WORKSHOP CHAIRS ---------------- Andrea Maurino, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy Cinzia Cappiello, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Panos Vassiliadis, University of Ioannina, Greece Kai-Uwe Sattler, Ilmenau Univ. of Technology, Germany ----------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Carlo Batini, University of Milano - Bicocca, Italy Daniele Barone, University of Toronto, Canada Ismael Caballero, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain Tiziana Catarci, Universita di Roma, La Sapienza, Italy Peter Christen, Australian National University, Australia Helena Galhardas, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Michael Gertz, University of Heidelberg, Germany Johann-Christoph Freytag, Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin, Germany Dmitri V.
