This functionality is usually provided by semantic service matchmaking capabilities (which may themselves be deployed as services by middle agents) that select the services that are closest to a requested service on the basis of a declarative characterization of the capabilities of both service requested and services provided. More generally, resource retrieval extends the notion of service matchmaking to the process of discovering any kind of Web resources (ranging from services, data, information, knowledge to networked physical objects, persons and organizations) for given application settings and purposes. It is at the core of several scenarios in the Semantic Web area, spanning from Web services, Grid computing, and Peer-to-Peer computing, to applications such as e-commerce, human resource management, and social networking applications. The primary objective of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers and industry practitioners who tackle semantic service matchmaking and discovery from various points of view. In particular, we also intend to build bridges to the software engineering and model-driven development communities in order to share requirements, technologies, and experiences that might be helpful in advancing the state of the art in semantic service matchmaking and resource retrieval. Going to Practice: The 4th International Semantic Service Selection (S3) Contest The SMR2 workshop also integrates the fourth edition of the open international contest on semantic service selection (S3) which is in collaboration with the SEALS SWS tool evaluation campaign. The S3 contest series provides the means and a forum for evaluating the retrieval performance of Semantic Web service matchmakers in terms of recall, precision, F1, response time etc., over given test collections based on the prominent semantic service formats such as OWL-S, WSML and the standard SA-WSDL. Publication: The proceedings of SMR2 will be available as a CEUR volume online. In addition, it is planned to publish selected and invited papers of the SMR2 workshop in a special issue of the international Semantic Web journal (http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/). Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): . Semantic resource and service matchmaking and brokering . Semantic retrieval of resources and services in P2P, Grid networks and Cloud Computing . Model-driven semantic service engineering and matchmaking . Privacy-preserving and trusted semantic service discovery . Composition planning of semantic services and workflows . Formal description and handling of semantic services, queries, and resources . Prototypes and tools for semantic services engineering, discovery and composition . Negotiation of semantic services and resources . Interleaving of discovery, composition, and negotiation of semantic services and resources . Practical applications of semantic services . Evaluation of implemented semantic service retrieval tools . Middleware solutions for semantic service search and composition Submissions: Contributions to the workshop can be made as technical papers, addressing different issues of service / resource matching and retrieval. The papers written in English should be not longer than 16 pages using the LNCS Style: http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.… All contributions should be prepared in PDF format and should be submitted through the workshop submission site at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smr22010 Important Dates: August 27, 2010: Paper Submission September 20, 2010: Notification October 2, 2010: Camera-Ready Paper November 8, 2010: SMR2-2010, Shanghai, China Organizing Committee: Abraham Bernstein (U Zurich, Switzerland) Paul Grace (U Lancaster, UK) Matthias Klusch (DFKI, Germany) Massimo Paolucci (NTT DoCoMo, Germany) Program Committee (to be completed): Liliana Cabral (Open U, UK) Tommaso Di Noia (U Bari, Italy) Eugenio Di Sciascio (U Bari, Italy) Takahiro Kawamura (Toshiba, Japan) Freddy Lecue (U Manchester, UK) Alain Leger (France Telecom, France) Tiziana Margaria (U Potsdam, Germany) Nils Masuch (TU Berlin, Germany) Oliver Müller (U Muenster, Germany) Pierluigi Plebani (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) Axel Polleres (DERI, Ireland) Eran Toch (CMU, USA) Roman Vaculin (IBM, USA) --------------------------------------------------- Massimo Paolucci DOCOMO Communications Laboratories Europe GmbH Landsberger Strasse 308-312, 80687 Munich mailto:paolucci@docomolab-euro.com <mailto:wagner@docomolab-euro.com> http://www.docomolab-euro.com Managing Directors (Geschaeftsfuehrer): Dr. Masami Yabusaki, Mr. Naoki Tani, Mr. Seiichi Ikeda Amtsgericht Muenchen, HRB 132976 --------------------------------------------------

Fwd: [computational.science] Reminder: Call for Chapter Proposals - Aug. 15 Due Date Approaching
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Aug '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Reminder: Call for Chapter Proposals - Aug. 15 Due Date Approaching Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:34:10 -0400 From: George Yee <gmyee(a)sce.carleton.ca> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Dear Colleague, Greetings! I would like to invite you to submit a chapter proposal to a new book I am editing, entitled "Privacy Protection Measures and Technologies in Business Organizations: Aspects and Standards", assuming this topic lies within your work area. The due date for the proposal is August 15, 2010. If you need more time, just let me know. For more details, please see the Call for Chapter Proposals at: http://www.igi-global.com/AuthorsEditors/AuthorEditorResources/CallForBookC… Here are some excerpts from the above site: 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. Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before August 15, 2010 (let me know if you need more time), a 2-3 page chapter proposal (outline) 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 September 1, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected by November 30, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed between authors on a double-blind review basis. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to receiving your proposal. Sincerely, George ------ George Yee, Ph.D., P.Eng., CSDP, CISSP Adjunct Research Professor, Dept. of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1S 5B6 gmyee(a)sce.carleton.ca

The ViWo 2010 provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of learning and training in virtual worlds. The 18th International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE 2010) will be organized by the Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education (http://apsce.net/) and hosted by the Faculty of Educational Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia. More information can be found at http://www.educ.upm.edu.my. Background ======== Our society of the 21st century makes great demands on its members caused by rapid developing and ever-changing political, social, economical and technological situations. Consequently, it is expected that members of the society keep pace with these mutable situations, adapt their skills and expertise. As a result, modern instructional design, learning goals and processes as well as appropriate learning environments must support the development of the aforementioned skills and expertises. Consequently, educational approaches have changed dramatically over time from less formal schooling in the agrarian society to remedial repetitive learning in the industrialization age to learning with an understanding in today's knowledge society. Based on that, different modern educational strategies have been developed which includes aspects such as self-directed learning, collaborative learning, experiential-based learning and actively participating. Educational approaches have also been influenced by technology but have also increasingly applied technology over the last decades, such as motion pictures, radio, television, computers and other emerging information and communication technologies (ICT). Last year's hype surrounding the virtual world "Second Life" has also generated significant interest in the education community. Although virtual worlds have been an active research topic for a long time, technology was not ready for complex application scenarios since recent years. New interesting and powerful platforms and tools, such as Second Life, Active Worlds, Multiverse, Open Croquet, OpenSim and Sun's 3D Wonderland, have been emerged applicable to complement or even replace other knowledge transfer and learning settings. Modern virtual worlds are seen from an optimistic viewpoint as a disruptive and transformative technology. However, it still remains unclear to some extent where the real benefits and limitations of using virtual worlds as knowledge transfer and learning environments are when compared to more traditional methods. In order to avoid the same pitfalls of past e-learning solutions by just applying traditional learning approaches to a new technology, this special track is indented to offer a multidisciplinary platform which brings together international researchers from different organizations in order to share their experience with this technology. 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 of papers in the categories research, development, evaluation and best practices that deal with virtual worlds for academic, organizational, and life-long learning issues including, but not limited to: . Technological approaches, their limitations and how to overcome them . Virtual worlds and mobile learning . Virtual learning space design and architecture . Modern learning settings . Didactic and cognitive aspects . New learning and teaching activities . Interaction and behavior patterns . Distance and blended learning . Organizational learning, vocational training and certification . Academic learning, assessment and feedback . Collaborative and social learning . Mixed Virtual world and classroom learning .
