Best Papers will be published in Evolutionary Computation Journal MIT Press and BMC Bioinformatics. Important Dates: Paper submission: 28th February 2011 Author notification: 30th April 2011 Paper final version: 15th May 2011 KEYNOTES: Arup Chakraborty, MIT, USA Rob J. de Boer, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Jonathan Jones, Sainsbury Laboratory, UK Rino Rappuoli, Novartis, Italy (TBC) Jon Timmis, University of York, UK ... more speakers to be announced... TUTORIALS: Andrew Phillips, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK ... more speakers to be announced... General Information: ICARIS 2011 aims to build on the success of previous years to provide a forum for AIS researchers in academia and industry to present and discuss their latest advances. In addition to peer-reviewed papers, ICARIS 2011 will present a range of plenary lectures and tutorials to inspire and facilitate both the computer scientist and immunologist in their work. To encourage dialogue with the theoretical and clinical immunology communities, ICARIS 2011 will again adopt an (optional) extended abstract (2-6 pages) submission for the Immunoinformatics& Computational Immunology Stream. Full papers are welcome, but extended versions of abstracts will not be required. All accepted abstracts will be published alongside full papers in the proceedings. The conference programme will be partitioned into three streams: Theoretical Stream: This stream is for papers describing theoretical aspects of AIS, excluding theoretical immunology. This includes (but is not limited to) mathematical modelling of algorithms, convergence analysis, empirical investigation into algorithm performance and complexity analysis. To make sure the paper appeals to the widest possible audience, the mathematics should be clearly presented, and the paper should discuss the practical implications of any theoretical results. Applied Stream: This stream is for papers describing the application of AIS to computational and engineering problems. The problem domain should be clearly explained, detailing why it is challenging and why AIS are a suitable methodology to use. Experiments should be carefully explained, with the expectation that appropriate statistical analysis of results will be used to help draw conclusions. Where possible, the approach taken should be compared with alternative strategies. Immunoinformatics& Computational Immunology Stream: The goal of the Immunoinformatics& Computational Immunology stream is to attract researchers from computer science, information science, engineering, biomathematics, biomedicine, bioinformatics, systems biology, and immunology to share and exchange their knowledge of the state-of-the-art research issues, methodologies, ideas, and challenges. Topics of interest include: * Immune modelling; * Structural Immunoinformatics; * Epitope analysis and prediction; * Analysis and prediction of MHC-peptide binding; * Databases and ontologies for Immunoinformatics; * Analysis and prediction of minor histocompatibility antigens; * Predictive models on organ transplantation; * Immunogenomics; * Vaccine design; * Multi-agent based models of immunity; * Gene networks and systems biology in immunity; * Allergenicity prediction. Paper Submissions: All papers will undergo a double blind review process. Authors are requested to submit a PDF file no later than the submission deadline 28th of Feb.2011. The authors name and affiliation should not appear on the paper. Please follow the formatting instructions at the Springer-Verlag LNCS site. Papers should be a maximum of fourteen (14) pages. To encourage dialog with the theoretical and clinical immunology communities, ICARIS 2011 will again adopt an (optional) extended abstract (2-6 pages) submission for the Immunoinformatics& Computational Immunology Stream. Full papers are welcome, but extended versions of abstracts will not be required. All accepted abstracts will be published alongside full papers in the proceedings. Authors must make it clear in their submission which stream the paper is to be considered for. Papers should be submitted via the submissions section of the website. You will be provided with a reference number that will be used throughout the submission process. All papers will undergo a double blind review process. Authors are requested to submit a PDF. The proceedings will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer, submission is now open for ICARIS-2011: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaris2011 Best Papers will be published in Evolutionary Computation Journal MIT Press and BMC Bioinformatics.

The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and international atmosphere. The Doctoral Consortium provides PhD students with the opportunity to meet and discuss with experts in their area. Students will present and discuss their thesis in the context of a well-known and established international conference outside of their usual university environment. Up to 10 Ph.D. students will have the opportunity to participate. Students will be required to pay the registration fees of the ICALT Conference (student rates). The Doctoral Consortium will consist of 3 sessions. The first session aims at giving students the chance to present their work to others and get familiar with the work of other PhD students in their area. Each PhD student will give a very brief presentation (about 3 minutes) about his/her work with focus on motivation and research problem. These presentations are followed by a poster exhibition where individual discussion about each student?s work will take place. The third session aims at giving students feedback from an expert in their area and let them discuss their work with him/her as well as with few other PhD students doing research in the respective area. After the notification of acceptance/rejection, each PhD student with an accepted paper will be assigned to a small group consisting of 3-4 PhD students and one expert in their area. Each group will start to communicate and exchange their papers so that all members of the group are familiar with the papers of each group member. During the third session, each small group will meet individually. PhD students will give a short presentation about their work (about 10 minutes; 3 slides: Motivation/Background, what have been done already, and what will be done in future). After each presentation, group discussion will take place where each student can discuss his/her work with the expert and with other PhD students. Call for Papers and Topics ************************** Submissions relating to any aspect of Advanced Learning Technologies research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, focusing on the main themes of ICALT2011. To apply for participation at the Doctoral Consortium, please submit a 2-page paper about your doctoral work using the ASK-Conference System at: http://www.ask4research.info/conference/upload.php.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] DaWaK 2011: Call for Papers Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 13:58:41 +0100 From: Roland Wagner <rwagner(a)faw.jku.at> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ========================================================== Call for Papers ========================================================== 13th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery - DaWaK 2011 Toulouse, France August 29 - September 2, 2011 ========================================================== Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery has been widely accepted as a key technology for enterprises and organizations to improve their abilities in data analysis, decision support, and the automatic extraction of knowledge from data. With the exponentially growing amount of information to be included in the decision making process, the data to be considered becomes more and more complex in both structure and semantics. New developments such as cloud computing add to the challenges with massive scaling, a new computing infrastructure, and new types of data. Consequently, the process of retrieval and knowledge discovery from this huge amount of heterogeneous complex data builds the litmus-test for the research in the area. During the past years, the International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK) has become one of the most important international scientific events to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss latest research issues and experiences in developing and deploying data warehousing and knowledge discovery systems, applications, and solutions. This year’s conference (DaWaK 2011), builds on this tradition of facilitating the cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, experience and potential research directions. DaWaK 2011 seeks to introduce innovative principles, methods, algorithms and solutions to challenging problems faced in the development of data warehousing, knowledge discovery, data mining applications, and the emerging area of "cloud intelligence". Submissions presenting current research work on both theoretical and practical aspects of data warehousing and knowledge discovery are encouraged. Particularly, we strongly welcome submissions dealing with emerging real world applications such as real-time data warehousing, analysis of spatial and spatiotemporal data, OLAP mining, mobile OLAP, and mining science data (e.g. bioinformatics, geophysics). Major Tracks: Following the new development of DaWaK 2010, in 2011 DaWaK is again organized into 4 tracks, each with a distinct focus. The four tracks, and their main topics are as follows: Cloud Intelligence Track: ------------------------- * Massive data analytics: algorithms, techniques, and systems * Scalability and parallelization for cloud intelligence: map-reduce and beyond * Analytics for the cloud infrastructure * Analytics for unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data * Semantic web intelligence * Analytics for temporal, spatial, spatio-temporal, and mobile data * Analytics for data streams and sensor data * Analytics for multimedia data * Analytics for social networks * Real-time/right-time and event-based analytics * Privacy and security in cloud intelligence * Reliability and fault tolerance in cloud intelligence Data Warehousing Track: ------------------------ * Analytical front-end tools for DW and OLAP * Data warehouse architecture * Data extraction, cleansing, transforming and loading * Data warehouse design (conceptual, logical and physical) * Multidimensional modelling and queries * Data warehousing consistency and quality * Data warehouse maintenance and evolution * Performance optimization and tuning * Implementation/compression techniques * Data warehouse metadata Knowledge Discovery Track: -------------------------- * Data mining techniques: clustering, classification, association rules, decision trees, etc. * Data and knowledge representation * Knowledge discovery framework and process, including pre- and post-processing * Integration of data warehousing, OLAP and data mining * Integrating constraints and knowledge in the KDD process * Exploring data analysis, inference of causes, prediction * Evaluating, consolidating, and explaining discovered knowledge * Statistical techniques for generation a robust, consistent data model * Interactive data exploration/visualization and discovery * Languages and interfaces for data mining * Mining Trends, Opportunities and Risks * Mining from low-quality information sources Industry and Applications Track: --------------------------------- * Data warehousing tools * OLAP and analytics tools * Data mining tools * Industry experiences * Data warehousing applications: corporate, scientific, government, healthcare, bioinformatics, etc. * Data mining applications: bioinformatics, E-commerce, Web, intrusion/fraud detection, finance, healthcare, marketing, telecommunications, etc * Data mining support for designing information systems * Business Process Intelligence (BPI) ---------------------------- Paper Submission Details ---------------------------- Authors are invited to submit research and application papers representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers should be submitted in PDF or Word format. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices). Authors who want to buy extra pages may submit a paper up to 15 pages with the indication that the authors will purchase extra pages if the paper is accepted. Submissions which do not conform to the LNCS format and/or which do exceed 12 pages (or up to 15 pages with the extra page purchase commitment) will be rejected without reviews. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag. Duplicate submissions are not allowed. A submission is considered to be a duplicate submission if it is submitted to other conferences/workshops/journals or it has been already accepted to be published in other conferences/workshops/journals. Duplicate submissions thus will be automatically rejected without reviews. Submissions require explicit consent from all listed authors. Authors of best papers selected from DaWaK 2011 conference will be invited to submit an extension for a special issue of LNCS Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, edited by Springer-Verlag.

Zadeh (Father of Fuzzy Logic), Dr. Firouz Naderi (Head, NASA Mars Exploration Program/2000-2005 and Associate Director, Project Formulation& Strategy, Jet Propulsion Lab, CalTech/NASA), and many other distinguished speakers. To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2010 delegates photos available at: www.pixagogo.com/1676934789 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different branches of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING SESSIONS/WORKSHOPS: Each session will have at least 6 paper presentations from different authors (12 papers in the case of workshops). The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ...
