-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd CFP: Service Oriented Computing in Logistics (SOC-LOG) at ICSOC 2010 (Deadline: September 14, 2010) Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 10:13:31 +0200 From: André Ludwig <Ludwig(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> To: André Ludwig <Ludwig(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> ================================================================== 2nd Call for Papers: 2nd International Workshop on Service Oriented Computing in Logistics (SOC-LOG 2010) In conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2010) December 7-10, San Francisco, CA, USA Workshop website: http://soclog10.wifa.uni-leipzig.de =================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== Logistics is of paramount importance for many industries: It plans and realizes the flow of goods from sources to destinations by means of transformations in space, time, and quantity. Coordinating logistics activities faces organizational and technical boundaries of the participating firms as well as must resolve conflicting goals and strategies of such firms. Information plays a crucial role in logistics, in particular in today's business environment, which is changing significantly due to, e.g., globalization of supply chains, stronger customer orientation and individualization, all increasing the need for more adaptive logistics systems. IT is the key enabler for managing these challenges, supporting supply chain collaboration, and managing increasing economic dynamics. Advanced IT support allows supply chains to advance their efficiency significantly, to better fulfill customer needs, and handle the growing organizational complexity and the associated supply chain risks. While existing logistics IT systems provide solid support for static, self-contained logistics systems, research on managing the logistics in supply chains that are dynamically changing, is still less advanced. Service-oriented Computing (SOC) is a promising paradigm, which automates inter-organizational processes by loosely coupled software-based services. The focus of this workshop is the study and exploration of SOC's potential to solve coordination problems in logistics systems and supply chains. Key research questions are: (1) How to represent logistics systems in service-based computing systems by employing and adopting constructs, models, and methods of the SOC technology stack, (2) how to describe software-based logistics services with service description languages, (3) how to coordinate software-based logistics services, by employing and adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition, (4) how to negotiate and agree about the delivery of software-based logistics services with approaches for SLA representation, SLA management, and SLA negotiation, and (5) how to control the delivery and how to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of software-based logistics services? With the set of design principles, architectural models and concepts and last but not least with its existing and growing set of standards, SOC promotes adaptiveness of logistics systems and supply chains, a flexible and re-configurable provisioning along multiple supply chains, and their efficiency. The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss recent significant developments at the intersection of service-oriented computing and logistics systems/supply chain management, and to promote cross-fertilization and exchange of ideas and techniques between these fields. The relation to ICSOC 2010 is that, on one hand, the conference addresses the core concepts such as interacting business processes, service composition, service operations, and quality of services, and on the other hand, would receive feedback, experiences, and requirements from a highly relevant application domain to validate and advance its current approaches. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting papers on the following topics: 1) Logistics services representation - Servicetization of logistics systems - Logistics service models - Reference models for logistics services - Semantic models for logistics services - Repositories and dictionaries for logistics services 2) Logistics services description - Syntactical description of logistics services - Semantic description of logistics services - Logistics ontologies / ontologies for logistics services - QoS attributes of logistics services 3) Coordination of logistics services - Discovery of logistics services - Composition of logistics services - Orchestration and choreography of logistics services - Market-based coordination of logistics services, i.e., auctions, exchanges 4) SLA Management of logistics services - Domain-specific SLA models - Semantic annotation of SLAs for logistics services - SLA negotiation protocols for logistics services - Pricing of logistics services - Integrating logistics services into SLA management infrastructures 5) Delivery of logistics services - Logistics service runtime management and monitoring - Verification of logistics services - Simulation and optimization of logistics services - Transactional safeguarding of logistics services - Service-oriented architectures for the setup and enactment of logistics services Paper Submission and Publication ================================ Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers, as - Full papers (up to 15 pages including all references and figures) or - Position papers (up to 5 pages including all references and figures) on the listed or related topics. Please, submit papers (in PDF format) via our electronic submission system which is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soclog10. All workshop papers will be included in the combined workshop proceedings of ICSOC 2010 which are planned to be published in Springer's LNCS series. Thus, papers should be written in English and must be prepared in the Springer LNCS style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for more information). All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the international program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected. At least one author of an accepted paper must attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main ICSOC 2010 conference.

Fwd: [computational.science] Call for Participation: Workshop on Language-level Approaches for HPC
by Gustaf Neumann 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Call for Participation: Workshop on Language-level Approaches for HPC Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 16:55:00 -0500 From: Boyana Norris <norris(a)mcs.anl.gov> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Workshop on Language-level Approaches for Retargetable High-Performance Computational Science Applications Call for Participation Dates: October 5-6, 2010 Venue: Rice University, Houston, TX Contact: language-tools-2010(a)cca-forum.org Organizing committee: --------------------- Robert Armstrong (Sandia National Labs) Barbara Chapman (U. Houston) John Feo (Pacific Northwest National Lab) John Mellor-Crummey (Rice U.) Boyana Norris (Argonne National Lab) Matthew Sottile (Galois, Inc.) Greg Watson (IBM Watson Research Center) Summary: -------- The advent of high-performance architectures, while potentially more powerful, put an increasing work load on the computational scientist to adapt their code to new programming models and environments. Moreover, the rate at which new architectures arise is increasing, making the problem of adapting their code not just a one time inconvenience but a continual burden. As a rule, the programmer's own science knowledge base and much of the code is largely unaffected by these upheavals: it is mainly the underlying numerical algorithms and data structures that require the reworking. Nonetheless these aspects of the code may be pervasive and non-modular: woven densely into every part of the code. Currently programmers find themselves in an environment for which mature tools do not exist and are forced to do all of the work themselves by hand. For the scientist-developer who's primary concern is science, this is intimidating given the increasing knowledge required to take advantage of these exotic platforms that are changing an increasing pace. A number of researchers have suggested that compiler-like, possibly domain-specific language tools have a role to play in automating code transformations to more easily adapt the scientist-developer's code to new architectures. This workshop is being organized to bring together a diverse set of participants to identify a path forward to address this problem through use of language tools. The committee has identified three critical questions that should be addressed: 1. Because HPC platforms, platform architectures and programming models are changing at an ever more rapid pace, scientists need a way to keep the science, as expressed in code, separate and independent of these low level implementation details. What is the transition path to new programming models and/or languages, and what levels of automation are possible and should be pursued? What types and how much user input will be required (e.g., semantical annotations or partial implementations such as templates)? 2. What code transformation tools are needed to support wider adoption of code transformation techniques by the scientist code developer? What compiler and language-level tools are needed by the *tool* developer to achieve this end? 3. If a majority of the scientist developer's code does not depend on the platform or programming model, is there a way of expressing the scientist's intent as separate from the target environment? Participation: ------------------- This workshop will include a small number of invited speakers who will be asked to address these questions. Participation in the workshop will be open to the wider computing community. People wishing to participate must SUBMIT A HALF-PAGE SUMMARY of their position on this topic, SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THE 3 QUESTIONS ABOVE. We ask that participants come prepared to think ambitiously about the larger problem rather than to focus on any single existing tool or solution. The structure of the workshop will be a full day of discussion with a small number of presentations by invited speakers. This will be followed by a second half day (ending at noon) dedicated to summarizing the outcome of the meeting with the goal of creating a position paper representing the thoughts of the participants. The whitepaper is primarily to inform DOE Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research of research needs in the language tools field but may be useful for other agencies. [A CS representative from DOE Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research will also give a perspective of their future needs in this area.] Those interested in participating should e-mail language-tools-2010(a)cca-forum.org. Participation Requirements: * Half page (plain text) answering the 3 topical questions above. * $175 registration fee. Please send the half page position statement to language-tools-2010(a)cca-forum.org. The registration fee is payable at the meeting.

Conceptual work related to theory building is encouraged, as well. ECSCW is interested in cooperative settings in the workplace, in everyday life, and the civic society, and across boundaries between these spheres of life. Submissions should address the unfolding practices of everyday work and life, and the application of computing technologies in these practices. Papers may also focus on design of such technologies or on historical accounts of use. With design is meant processes, methods, and outcoming artefacts. ECSCW solicits reports reflecting a rich variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including field studies and participatory approaches. The conference is soliciting high quality contributions that report: - novel techniques and technologies relevant to CSCW, - empirical studies of work that contribute to the design space of CSCW, - enhancement of the conceptual foundations of CSCW. In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that focus on: - Empirical studies of collaboration in settings ranging from work to civic engagement and everyday life. - Comparative analyses of empirical studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of domain specific or more general CSCW principles. - Empirical studies on the appropriation of innovative technologies. - Innovative technologies, applications, or functionality in support of collaborative work. - Investigations into the usage and design of coordination artifacts as well as webs of technology (infrastructures). - New technology-enabled forms of organization and virtual organizing. - Collaboratories, distributed scientific work, and CSCW aspects of e-science. - Studies dealing with the technology induced reshaping of the division of labor between customers and producers and within the supply chain, e.g. prosuming phenomena. - Studies of intercultural cooperation, such as in globally engaged enterprises, multinational organizations, international NGOs, networks of the civil society, and off-shoring relationships. - Studies on collaborative work in emergent and developing economies. - Conception, construction and use of CSCW technologies in complex and demanding settings, like manufacturing, software engineering, healthcare, care giving, security, and control systems. - Ubiquitous and mobile computing in collaborative settings: empirical research of use, studies of integration with other CSCW technologies and applications. - Integration of CSCW technologies with existing infrastructures, such as information systems, production systems, decision support systems, and knowledge management systems. - Conception, construction, and use of innovative interaction modes for CSCW applications, e.g. interfaces and supportive functionalities for universal access. - Architectures supporting CSCW technologies with quality requirements, such as flexibility, tailorability, and adaptability. - Innovative use of social media to support collective action. - Studies of collaboration across time, including knowledge management and expertise sharing. All contributions will be rigorously evaluated in terms of their novelty, significance, quality, and contribution to the discipline. Accepted research papers and notes will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer and freely available at the ECSCW website at: www.ecscw.org. They will also be indexed in and available through the ACM digital library. ECSCW 2011 requires that submissions have not been published previously and that papers submitted are not under simultaneous review for any other publication. -- 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
