Software delivery in the cloud and the pervasiveness of social networks and multimedia mobile services drive the demand for software technologies designed for massive-scale, non-homogenous, continuously changing environments. To address these requirements, modern software systems should be agile and scalable in almost every aspect. At runtime, dynamically changing availability; adaptive use of resources; mining of huge data sets; and flawless execution are required. During development, agile methods; rapid and continuous deployment; and consumerization of IT are becoming increasingly important. SwSTE'12 focuses on these trends and other topics in software engineering, technology, and science. It provides a unique opportunity for researchers, scientists, practitioners, and managers from Israel and abroad to meet and share their ideas, results, and experiences. Format: The two-day conference will include * keynote talks, presented by well-known software professionals, * focused track sessions, in which selected papers will be presented, * state-of-the-art tutorials, * a doctoral symposium, and * industrial track sessions, presenting case studies. A best paper award will be presented at the opening session of the conference. Topics of interest: The move to such massive-scale dynamic computing environments is changing software industry in multiple ways: new design and modeling methods are needed; testing of large-scale, data-intensive environments becomes ever more complex; virtualization, new middleware technologies, and new security challenges are growing in importance; and resource optimization and parallelism techniques should be adapted to the needs of modern software systems, which include power-aware, green systems. While a paper on any topic relevant to software practice and research will be considered, special emphasis will be given to papers reporting new results in software engineering, agile methods, cloud computing, embedded software development, and ways of exploiting new computing paradigms and architectures. Submissions and Participation: Papers submitted to the conference should contain original contributions. SwSTE'12's international program committee will select the papers to be presented. The SwSTE'12 conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and will be included at the IEEE Digital Library.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: ICDE 2012 Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: ICDE 2012 Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems Datum: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 08:37:12 +0000 Von: Castellanos, Malu G <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS SMDB 2012 Seventh International Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems http://smdb2012.dvs.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/ April 1, 2012 In conjunction with ICDE 2012 April 1-5, 2012 Washington DC, USA IMPORTANT DATES * Papers due: November 15, 2011 * Notification: December 7, 2011 * Camera-ready copies: December 18, 2011 DESCRIPTION Autonomic, or self-managing, systems are a promising approach to achieve the goal of systems that are easier to use and maintain in the face of growing system complexity. A system is considered to be autonomic if it is self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing and/or self-protecting. The aim of the SMDB workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from both industry and academia to present and discuss ideas and experiences related to self-management and self-organization in all areas of Information Management (IM) in general. SMDB targets not only classical databases but also the new generation of storage engines such as column stores, key-value stores, and in-memory databases. Beyond databases, SMDB aims to cover autonomic aspects of data-intensive systems represented by large-scale map-reduce (e.g., Hadoop) and cloud environments, where much work on self-management is needed. Last but not least, SMDB seeks to expand its horizons to include self-management of non-traditional, new areas of IM such as social networks, distributed gaming, and peer-to-peer systems. Research and development in database management systems has been instrumental in accomplishing some of the goals of autonomic systems by developing and incorporating strategies for physical database design, problem diagnosis, load balancing, self-tuning, and self-optimization. New challenges arising from multi-tenant databases, virtualization, cloud computing, software-as-a-service, and large data-intensive systems, such as social networks, distributed gaming, and peer-to-peer systems require new research. Early workshops of the SMDB series focused on core topics in self-managing databases such as automated tuning and provisioning, automated problem diagnosis and recovery, and automated data protection and integration. Since 2010 the scope of the workshop has been broadened to include new topics in the core database area, such as multi-tenant databases and data management in cloud computing, but also drawing in other communities, such as, peer-to-peer computing and distributed systems. For the 2012 SMDB workshop, we want to continue to attract researchers from both the core database and other communities, such as the adaptive and event-based systems communities as enabling technologies for self-managing systems, and data-intensive internet-scale distributed systems, which should benefit from research results in SMDBs. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Principles and architecture of autonomic data management systems - Retro-fitting existing systems vs. designing for self management - Self-* capabilities in databases and storage systems - Data management in cloud and multi-tenant databases - Autonomic capabilities in database-as-a-service platforms - Automated testing of data management systems - Automated physical database design and adaptive query tuning - Auomated provisioning and integration - Automatic enforcement of information quality - Self-managing distributed / decentralized / peer-to-peer information systems - Self-management of internet-scale distributed systems - Self-managing and adaptive aspects in social network systems - Monitoring and diagnostics in data management systems - Policy automation and visualization for data center administration - User acceptance and trust of autonomic capabilities - Evaluation criteria and benchmarks for self-managing systems - Self-evaluation of data management services in the cloud - Use cases and war stories on deploying autonomic capabilities SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in English of up to 6 pages in IEEE camera-ready format (templates are available at the ICDE 2012 submission guidelines page) to the submission site https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SMDB2012/. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be accepted. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to submit a full paper of up to 8 pages for final publication. All papers accepted by the workshop will appear in the formal Proceedings of the Conference Workshops published by IEEE CS Press, and will therefore be included in the IEEE digital library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Special Issue of JISE: Discovering knowledge through highly interactive information based systems Datum: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:20:07 +0200 Von: Francisco José García Peñalvo <fgarcia(a)usal.es> Antwort an: fgarcia(a)usal.es Organisation: Universidad de Salamanca An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Special Issue of JISE: Discovering knowledge through highly interactive information based systems* *Aims & scope* In the current digital information age, a critical issue is how we process the knowledge behind the huge amount of information that appears every day through every aspect of life (news, social media, TV, radio, email, blogs, papers and so on). Everywhere you look, the quantity of information in the world is soaring, at the beginning of 21^st century there was the estimation that the world produced one to two exabytes (billion gigabytes) of unique information every year (Lyman and Varian, 2000), The Economist estimates that mankind created 150 exabytes of data in 2005 and 1,200 exabytes in 2010. That means lots of data in form of text, numbers, images, sounds, etc. that are deemed important by humans for different purposes. The problem is the capacity to process, understand and take advantage from this information overload. Visualization techniques have the ability to convey information at the high bandwidth of the human perceptual system, facilitating recognition of patterns in the information space and supporting navigation in large collections (Thomas et al., 2001). However, the challenge is not only knowledge representation in information system but highly interactive environments that offer a deep data interaction that allows non trivial knowledge discovering and decision making by users. The combination of visualization techniques, visual analytics techniques, data mining techniques, intelligent recommendation agents, user centered evaluation and usability patterns, etc. in interactive systems is a key issue for knowledge discovering in current and future information systems. *Topics* Areas for inclusion in this special issue comprise those related to knowledge discovering and visual analytics in interactive information systems. Every submission must spell out the implications of findings in the paper for highly human-computer interactive information systems. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: .Interactive knowledge discovering .Knowledge discovering in visual collaborative systems .Visual representations and interaction techniques .Analytical reasoning .Data representations and transformations .Visual analytics information systems experiences .Visualization in user centered system *Contributors* Guest editors disseminate the call for paper in scientific distribution lists and communities and specific related forums. Also the information about this special issue will be available in the GRIAL research site. *Instructions for Authors* Potential authors should submit full papers by the Submission Deadline. Manuscript should be submitted to fgarcia [at] usal.es. Manuscripts should not exceed 18 double-spaced pages. Papers should be prepared according to the JISE guidelines for authors. A template of submitted paper can be found at http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/page/jise/InstructiontoAuthors.html. All papers will be blind reviewed. *Important dates* .Submission Deadline: January 31, 2012 .Acceptance Notification: March 30, 2012 .Final Manuscript Due: April 30, 2012 .Publication Date: Publication Date: Vol. 28, No. 4, July 2012 (tentatively) More information: http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/page/jise/FILE/CallforPapersforSpecialIssue.ht… Contact person: fgarcia [at] usal.es Dr. Francisco José García Peñalvo Profesor Titular de Universidad Departamento de Informática y Automática Facultad de Ciencias - Plaza de los Caídos S/N Universidad de Salamanca 37008 Salamanca (España) Tfno. +34 923294400 Ext. 1302 Fax +34 923294514 fgarcia(a)usal.es <mailto:fgarcia@usal.es>

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Book Chapters: Green Technologies and Business Practices: An IT Approach
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Book Chapters: Green Technologies and Business Practices: An IT Approach Datum: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:33:00 +0200 Von: "PATRICIA ORDOÑEZ DE PABLOS" <patriop(a)uniovi.es> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Green Technologies and Business Practices: An IT Approach * ** *Editors: * Dr. Patricia Ordoñez de Pablos University of Oviedo, Spain *Call for Chapters: * Proposals Submission Deadline: October 15, 2011 *Introduction* Green technologies play an important role in the achievement of the environmental sustainability. Tax incentives, carbon taxes and rising fossil fuel costs are motivating increased growth and development of 'green' products and services, many of which are the result of innovative discoveries in biotechnology and nanotechnology. Companies interested in environmental friendly investment can develop R&D for biofuels, green walls, energy efficient buildings and waste reduction, for example. On the other hand, recent research to investigate the impact of the green economy activities and technologies on occupational requirements have identified new and emerging green economic sectors, increased demand for careers, as well as new and emerging jobs. The success of any green sector relies on the availability of highly skilled and qualified workforce *Objective of the Book* This book aims to be an international platform to bring together academics, researchers, lecturers, and persons in decision making positions, policy makers and practitioners from different backgrounds to share new theories, research findings and case studies, enhancing understanding and collaboration in green issues in business and the role of information technologies and analyse recent developments in theory and practice. In his paper ?New green industries? Martin Murray states that as ?traditional industries struggle with the public?s increasing environmental consciousness, there is a number of new green industries that are receiving more attention?. Some of these new green industries that will increase their importance in the coming years are green manufacturing, green chemistry, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, advanced biofuels and sustainable agriculture, among others. For example, when we talk about green manufacturing, we are looking at an industry that uses traditional manufacturing methods and factories to create items for green industries. Studies have suggested that the manufacturing sector could create about 1 million jobs directly and another 2.5 million indirect jobs in related industries. Green retailing is quickly growing as more green products are available and the increased demand by the public. Study after study has shown that the public will buy green products even in the current depressed market. On the other hand, the green chemistry industry involves the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use of hazardous substances. For example, Clorox have developed a range of products that will perform the same tasks as the traditional cleaners, but based from plants not chemicals. * * *The book has a clear editing strategy:* 1.To be the REFERENCE edition for all those interested on the strategic role of new learning technologies towards the achieve of a long term environmental sustainability. 2.To be the REFERENCE edition for all those (policy makers, government officers, academics and practitioners) interested in understanding green industries. 3.To become a reference edition for people thirsty to know on how to address the management of green issues in the current economic environment. The book aims to be the leading source of information for all those interested in green issues in companies and emerging technologies since it promotes scientific discussion on policies, methodologies and approaches , as well as to cover the emerging research topics which are going to define the green management in the 21st century, Furthermore, this book will demonstrate the capacity of green models and policies, information technology and management for the mutual understanding, prosperity and well being of all the citizens in the world. *Target Audience* * Politicians * Professors in academia, * Policy Makers * Government officers * Students * Corporate heads of firms * Senior general managers * Managing directors * Board directors * Academics and researchers in the field both in universities and business schools * Information technology directors and managers * Social Corporate Responsibility managers and directors * Libraries and information centres serving the needs of the above *Recommended topics* The book will be structured into 5 main sections: No.Chapter Title 1Section A. Green economy area, industries and clusters Today 2Section B. Green jobs and industries 3Section C. Green technologies for sustainability 4Section D. Green Policies and strategies 5Challenges and Opportunities for the Future *Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:* * Advanced biofuels * Green supply chain management * Case studies * Climate change (impact, regulation, strategies) * Corporate social responsibility * Environmental issues in developing countries * Generation and distribution of renewable energy * Global warming and economic impact * Green information systems * Green inventory management * Green manufacturing systems and strategies * Green network analysis * Green power * Green product lifecycle management * Green sustainability and carbon neutrality strategies * Green technologies * Identifying the role of IS in energy policy * Limiting carbon and other emissions * Monitoring emissions and waste production * Reducing energy consumption * Reducing transportation costs * Sustainable development within the supply chain * Tracking environmental information (such as toxicity, energy used, water used, air pollution) *Submission Procedure* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before *October 15, 2010*, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP Agent-Directed Simulation, March 26-29, 2012, Orlando, FL, USA Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:33:03 -0500 (CDT) From: Yu Zhang <yzhang(a)CS.Trinity.Edu> To: Agent-Directed Simulation <yzhang(a)CS.Trinity.Edu> =============================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS and POSTERS Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS'12) Florida Hotel and Conference Center, Orlando, FL, USA March 26-29, 2012 http://www.scs.org/springsim/2012?q=node/205 Manuscript Submission: November 30, 2011. Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). Co-located with the 2012 SISO Spring Simulation Interoperability Workshop (SIW) ============================================================== As part of the 2012 Spring Simulation Multi-conference (SpringSim'12) http://www.scs.org/springsim/2012 the 2012 Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium is a premier platform to explore all three aspects of the synergy of simulation and agent technologies. Hence, it has a special place within simulation and agent conferences, including agent-based (social) simulation conferences. Therefore the ADS symposium fills a gap in the agent community as well as the simulation community. The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technologies, by including models that use agents to develop domain-specific simulations, i.e., agent simulation (this is often referred to as agent-based simulation -when other two important aspects are not considered), and by also including the use of agent technology to develop simulation techniques and toolkits that are subsequently applied, either with or without agents. Hence, agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas that can be grouped under two categories as follows: 1. Simulation for Agents (agent simulation): simulation of agent systems in engineering, human and social dynamics, military applications etc. 2. Agents for Simulation (which has two aspects): agent-supported simulation deals with the use of agents as a support facility to enable computer assistance in problem solving or enhancing cognitive capabilities; and agent-based simulation that focuses on the use of agents for the generation of model behavior in a simulation study. Through the theme of agent-directed simulation, the symposium will bring together agent technologies, tools, toolkits, platforms, languages, methodologies, and applications in a pragmatic manner. In this symposium, established researchers, educators, and students are encouraged to come together and discuss the benefits of agent technology in their use and application for simulation. It is a way for people to discuss why and how they have used agent technology in their simulations, and describe the benefit of having done so. The theme of ADS'12 is based on the observation of the following premises. * The growth of new advanced distributed computing standards along with the rapid rise of e-commerce are providing a new context that acts as a critical driver for the development of next generation systems. These standards revolve around service-oriented technologies, pervasive computing, web-services, Grid, autonomic computing, ambient intelligence etc. The supporting role that intelligent agents play in the development of such systems is becoming pervasive, and simulation plays a critical role in the analysis and design of such systems. * The use of emergent agent technologies at the organization, interaction (e.g., coordination, negotiation, communication) and agent levels (i.e. reasoning, autonomy) are expected to advance the state of the art in various application technologies is difficult. Using agent-supported simulation techniques for testing complex agent systems is up and coming field. * To facilitate bridging the gap between research and application, there is a need for tools, agent programming languages, and methodologies to analyze, design, and implement complex, non-trivial agent-based simulations. Existing agent-based simulation tools are still not mature enough to enable developing agents with varying degrees cognitive and reasoning capabilities. ADS 2012 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer science, social sciences, engineering, business, education, human factors, and systems engineering. The involvement of various agent-directed simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for agent-directed simulation AUTHOR GUIDELINES * Technical papers provide a longer format for presenting experience reports, research results, or descriptions of "work in progress". They are limited to 8 pages. * Short position papers are targeted at raising a question or framing an issue for discussion during the symposium. Position papers are limited to 3 pages. * Poster presentations present an opportunity to present work in progress and receive feedback from colleagues. A one page write-up of the poster presentations will be included in the proceedings. Formatting guidelines and author instructions are available at http://www.scs.org/conferences . Papers should be submitted electronically to http://www.softconf.com/scs/ADS12 . All papers will be subject to a peer-reviewing process by three program committee members. (Please see the key dates listed below) FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All prospective authors, whose papers are accepted for inclusion in the program, will be invited to submit their position or technical papers to ADS'12. Accepted and registered papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the SCS. The committee will select a set of best papers. Authors of these papers will be encouraged to submit appropriately expanded versions of these papers for journal publication.
