Submissions of benchmarks/evaluations, demos, case studies / use cases, experience reports, best practice solutions (e.g. design patterns, reference architectures, models), rule-based implementations/ tools/ applications,demonstrations engineering methods, implementations of rule standards (e.g. RuleML, RIF, SBVR, PRR, rule-based Event Processing languages, BPMN+rules, BPEL+rules, ...), rules + industrial standards (e.g. XBRL, MISMO, Accord, ...), and industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged. This year, the RuleML-2010 Challenge will have a special focus theme: * Modelling Rules in the temporal and geospatial applications - temporal modelling and reasoning - geospatial modelling and reasoning - cross-linking between temporal and geospatial knowledge - visualization of rules with graphic models in order to support end-user interaction Key themes of the RuleML-2010 Challenge include the following: * Demos related to the RuleML-2010 Track Topics: http://2010.ruleml.org/topics.html * Extensions and implementations of W3C RIF * Editing environments and IDEs for Web rules * Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines * Distributed rule bases and rule services * Reports on industrial experience about rule systems Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from the main focus theme and for the all categories. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. Submission ====================================================== The submission is composed of two parts: - open-source or commercial demo - demo papers describing research, implementation, and technical details of your submission. Submissions to the Rules Challenge 2010 consist of a demo paper of 4-8 pages, describing the demo show case, and a link to more information about the demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the demonstration, or a download site for the demonstration. Demo papers submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2010challenge Demo systems submission website: http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw Please upload all demo papers submissions as PDF files in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3 PC members based on the evaluation criteria above indicated. Demo criteria ====================================================== The demo as well as the descriptions of the application will be evaluated using the following criteria: - clear exposition of the objectives, outcomes, benefits for going beyond the state of the art in the application domain with particular regard to demonstrate correctness of answers; (20%) - demo is encouraged to include modelling and reasoning on temporal or/and geospatial rules in a domain where these parameters are relevant for the outcomes and in any case a good level of expressivity; (20%) - demo have to demonstrate the results with a concrete sample balancing conciseness and completeness (20%) - demo should demonstrate a good level of effectiveness to manage complex rules including geospatial and temporal dimensions by statistical/finding/ benchmarking evaluations (20%) - demo should preferably (but not necessarily) be embedded into a web-based or distributed environment and they should pay attention to the end-user interactions in order to provide an adequate interface following the usability parameters in the state of the art for favouring a concrete usage of the application (20%). Proceedings and Post-proceedings ====================================================== The peer-reviewed and selected papers will be published in additional special Challenge proceedings (will be published as CEUR proceedings) along with the online publication of your demo in the highly visible growing Rules Challenge pool. A selection of revised papers from the Challenge will be invited to already agreed upcoming journal special issues in the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS), and the Springer journal AI & Law. Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance and technical rigor in the field, benchmarks, evaluations, experience reports and show case/use case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies or applications in web distributed environments.

Please, find all detailed information below. We are looking forward to your contribution. Kind regards from Innsbruck, Michael Kohlegger --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Workshop Proposals 6^th Conference Professional Knowledge Management 2011 (WM 2011) The Conference Series on Professional Knowledge Management 2011 provides a broad integrative overview of organizational, cultural, social and technical aspects on knowledge management. Focus of the conference is bringing together different research disciplines and sharing experiences gained in the different areas where knowledge management is applied. From Knowledge to Action.The conference seeks workshop proposals covering the entire field of knowledge management. There are no methodological limitations in this conference. Thus, we seek contributions with a practice-oriented, e.g., conceptual or case study focus as much as contributions with a quantitative-empirical, qualitative-interpretive or design-science-engineering-oriented approach. Special emphasis is given to contributions targeting insights into or solutions for the challenge of putting knowledge into action. The conference provides a platform so that people engaged and committed to knowledge management from these diverse perspectives get to know each other, approach each other and connect their experiences in order to strengthen relevance and impact of knowledge management results as well as lessons learned from their application. Both, practitioners and scientists will be invited to visit Innsbruck, Austria, in order to exchange experiences, to discuss current problems and challenges and learn from each other. Participants will get a well-founded overview of the most important trends in the area of knowledge management. Therefore, our conference offers much time and space for communication. We would like to invite you to contribute actively by organizing a workshop at WM2011. There will be opportunities for half-day, one-day, and two-day workshops. Please submit your workshop proposal electronically in PDF or Postscript format. The proposal can be written in German or English and should not be submitted later than July 15th, 2010, via the conference system http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wm2011 Each proposal should explain on 2-3 pages the topic of the workshop, the potential audience (as concretely as possible), and information about the intended length (in terms of number of papers to be presented). Furthermore, a tentative program committee should be given. In case the proposal is accepted, the workshop organizers are responsible for the organization of the workshop completely including distribution of the workshop call-for-papers, maintenance of their own web page, organization and implementation of the review process, and providing the camera-ready submissions in time. Furthermore, all workshops have to follow the time schedule given below. The workshop organizers have to mention that at least one author of an accepted paper has to be registered to the conference. Accepted submissions will be published in joint conference proceedings. Every workshop will have access to a given amount of pages depending on the length of the workshop. Program Structure ----------------------- The conference consists of presentations and workshops, plenary sessions and a poster session which takes place during the conference program. During the workshops,current knowledge management issues will be presented and discussed and the results will be elaborated.

Fwd: [computational.science] Call for Chapter Proposals

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Chapter Proposals Datum: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:45:15 -0400 Von: George Yee <gmyee(a)sce.carleton.ca> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS (due July 15, let the Editor know if you need more time) Book Title: Privacy Protection Measures and Technologies in Business Organizations: Aspects and Standards For more details, visit: http://www.igi-global.com/AuthorsEditors/AuthorEditorResources/CallForBookC… Introduction The recent rapid growth of the Internet, together with increases in computerization, has been accompanied by soaring deployments of client-related business applications. Since business ultimately depends on the consumption of people, this has led to more and more consumer personal information in the possession of business organizations. This in turn has led to concerns over potential violations of consumer privacy. In response, various governmental jurisdictions have enacted privacy legislation to protect the privacy of consumers. However, legislation alone is not enough. Protective foolproof measures must be in place to guard against potential invasions of privacy. For example, business communication and collaboration include content sharing and email. How can these be safeguarded against the leakage of consumer personal information? As another example, internal business systems comprise workflows that handle and process client personal information. What measures are needed to avoid inadvertently and illegally revealing this information? What standards can be followed to reduce this risk? Objective of the Book This book will aim to deliver a coherent collection of chapters that provide significant new insights from five areas of investigation, as follows: 1) the current legal framework concerning the protection of consumer privacy in business organizations, 2) the nature and identification of consumer private information, 3) the measures and standards that can be applied and integrated within business organizations to protect consumer privacy, 4) the integration of business structures and workflows with privacy protection measures, and 5) the impacts of applying and integrating privacy protection measures on business operational and financial performance. Although theoretical and conceptual studies are equally welcome, the likely practical implications of your research should be emphasized in all contributions. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: · Legal and compliance aspects of privacy protection in business organizations, · Privacy related business standards, · The nature of consumer private information in business organizations, · Approaches, methods, and tools for discovering or delimiting private information, · Requirements for privacy protection measures in business organizations, · Privacy protection measures / privacy enhancing technologies applicable to business, · Approaches, methods, and tools to assist in complying with privacy laws and regulations, · Gauging the effectiveness of privacy protection measures, · Approaches, methods, and tools that can be used to support the introduction of privacy protection measures, · Facilitators and inhibitors of the adoption of privacy protection measures, · The nature of business structures or workflows that can integrate with privacy protection measures, · Protecting consumer privacy in the age of business cloud computing, · Business advantages / disadvantages from the adoption of privacy protection measures, · Customer responses to the introduction of privacy protection measures, · Case studies of privacy protection initiatives on business performance, · The impact of privacy protection measures on organizational structure and behaviour Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before July 15, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Please email submissions (Word document) to: gmyee(a)sce.carleton.ca. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by August 1, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected by October 31, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed between authors on a double-blind review basis.

Mit den besten Grüßen aus Innsbruck, Michael Kohlegger --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Workshop Proposals 6^th Conference Professional Knowledge Management 2011 (WM 2011) The Conference Series on Professional Knowledge Management 2011 provides a broad integrative overview of organizational, cultural, social and technical aspects on knowledge management. Focus of the conference is bringing together different research disciplines and sharing experiences gained in the different areas where knowledge management is applied. From Knowledge to Action.The conference seeks workshop proposals covering the entire field of knowledge management. There are no methodological limitations in this conference. Thus, we seek contributions with a practice-oriented, e.g., conceptual or case study focus as much as contributions with a quantitative-empirical, qualitative-interpretive or design-science-engineering-oriented approach. Special emphasis is given to contributions targeting insights into or solutions for the challenge of putting knowledge into action. The conference provides a platform so that people engaged and committed to knowledge management from these diverse perspectives get to know each other, approach each other and connect their experiences in order to strengthen relevance and impact of knowledge management results as well as lessons learned from their application. Both, practitioners and scientists will be invited to visit Innsbruck, Austria, in order to exchange experiences, to discuss current problems and challenges and learn from each other. Participants will get a well-founded overview of the most important trends in the area of knowledge management. Therefore, our conference offers much time and space for communication. We would like to invite you to contribute actively by organizing a workshop at WM2011. There will be opportunities for half-day, one-day, and two-day workshops. Please submit your workshop proposal electronically in PDF or Postscript format. The proposal can be written in German or English and should not be submitted later than July 15th, 2010, via the conference system http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wm2011 Each proposal should explain on 2-3 pages the topic of the workshop, the potential audience (as concretely as possible), and information about the intended length (in terms of number of papers to be presented). Furthermore, a tentative program committee should be given. In case the proposal is accepted, the workshop organizers are responsible for the organization of the workshop completely including distribution of the workshop call-for-papers, maintenance of their own web page, organization and implementation of the review process, and providing the camera-ready submissions in time. Furthermore, all workshops have to follow the time schedule given below. The workshop organizers have to mention that at least one author of an accepted paper has to be registered to the conference. Accepted submissions will be published in joint conference proceedings. Every workshop will have access to a given amount of pages depending on the length of the workshop. Program Structure ----------------------- The conference consists of presentations and workshops, plenary sessions and a poster session which takes place during the conference program. During the workshops,current knowledge management issues will be presented and discussed and the results will be elaborated.
