Due to their complex requirements the design of WIS is not a trivial task. Design methodologies provide guidelines for the creation of WIS so that the complexity of this process becomes manageable. Based on the separation-of-concerns principle some of these methodologies propose models to specify different aspects of WIS design like data integration, navigation structure, user interface, user interaction, presentation personalization, etc. Recent advances in networking technologies enabled WIS access via different devices (e.g., PDA, Smart phone, PC, BlackBerry, etc.). In addition to this device heterogeneity there is also a heterogeneous audience (e.g., different backgrounds, different goals, etc.) that wants to access the same system. In order to improve the user experience, these systems often need to personalize the content and its presentation based on the current user needs (e.g., user’s browsing platform or user preferences). Another aspect that can influence the behaviour of a WIS is the context of use (e.g., the geographical position, the temporal information, the weather conditions, etc.). Systems that are able to exploit this kind of information will further improve the application usefulness for their users. Integrating such information is possibly made available by specialized services and the need to seamlessly integrate these services into a WIS is therefore an important part of WIS development research. As the Web data is very diverse, WIS are seeking efficient and flexible approaches to provide integrated views over heterogeneous data sources. These data sources are usually autonomous (maintained by different organizations), overlapping, frequently changing, and distributed. All these characteristics make the data integration on the Web a very challenging research topic. The increased use of rich-clients applications (e.g., AJAX, OpenLaszlo, etc.) poses new demands to WIS design. The design of these applications needs to go beyond the server roundtrip paradigm by considering the new functionality added to clients, an intelligent data-push communication with the server, interactive-rich graphical interfaces, etc. Also, with the current emergence of social Web applications (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc.) there is a need to properly model the highly dynamic aspects of these systems. In addition, WIS can tap into the data made available by these systems to provide for previously unforeseen functionalities. Making use of rich clients and allowing users to establish social networks are some of the features that need to be considered when developing Web 2.0 applications. Semantic Web (also known as Web 3.0) technologies (e.g., RDF(S), OWL, etc.) can help in the representation and processing of the different WIS design models aiming for an improved interoperability. One example of such a model is the user profile which is often described using a CC/PP vocabulary. Due to their focus on distribution over the Web, Semantic Web representation languages prove to be useful also for specifying the semantics of data and the semantics of interfaces in order to facilitate the integration of heterogeneous databases and Web services, respectively. The best practice recommendation of Linked Data allows Web applications to seamlessly publish, interconnect, and access information on the Semantic Web. The inference mechanisms of the Semantic Web (captured in the semantics of the representation language or in rule-based languages like RuleML and SWRL) can be used for deriving new information or building intelligent services on the Web. Over the last few years, Web services have offered new opportunities to deploy WIS. Web services are independent from specific platforms and computing paradigms, and have the capacity to form composed processes, referred to as composite Web services. Web services composition fulfils user requests that require the participation of several component Web services. Several composition languages are now available (e.g., BPEL, WSFL, etc.). Semantic descriptions of Web services are also proposed for automating composition (e.g., OWL-S, WSMO, WSDL-S, etc.). A research topic that is worth pursuing is the modeling of these composite Web services. Goal of the Workshop -------------------- The aim of the workshop is to provide a platform for bringing together researchers, practitioners, designers, and users of WIS and discuss how specific issues of Web Information Systems (WIS) design can be addressed by means of modeling. Specifically, we will discuss how the influence of Semantic Web technology can help in a model-driven WIS development. Thus, the workshop should enable a fruitful exchange of ideas in the state-of-the-art of WIS modeling. Topics of Interest ------------------ The workshop topics include but are not limited to: * Methodologies for WIS Design * WIS Architectures * WIS Adaptability * WIS Personalization * WIS Evolution * Semistructured Data in WIS * Data Models in WIS * Query Languages in WIS * Integration of WIS * Optimization Techniques for WIS * Security in WIS * Business Rules in WIS * Web Services in WIS * WIS Ubiquity * Social WIS * Rich Client WIS * Web Metadata in WIS * Ontologies in WIS * Linked Data in WIS * Semantic Web Information Systems Paper Submission ---------------- Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to one (or more) of the workshop topics. The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages. Papers should be formatted according to Springer LNCS style http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The organizers will oversee a peer-review process for the submitted papers. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers should be submitted to wism2011(a)ese.eur.nl in PDF format. Publication ----------- Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series as the official ER workshop proceedings.

by Gustaf Neumann 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ACM DEBS 2011: Deadline extended Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 10:01:16 +0200 From: Avigdor Gal <avigal(a)ie.technion.ac.il> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Please note that submission deadline for research and industrial papers has been extended. Abstracts are due by March 7 and full papers by March 14. ACM DEBS 2011 CALL FOR PAPERS The ACM DEBS (Distributed Event Based System) is the flagship conference of the event-based systems community. DEBS 2011 will be held in Yorktown Heights, NY, USA in July 11-15, 2011. The submission deadline of most tracks is March 14, 2011. For schedule and submission instructions refer to the DEBS conference site http://debs2011.fzi.de/ Conference Scope The scope of the conference covers all topics relevant to event-based computing ranging from those discussed in related disciplines (e.g. coordination, dependability, software engineering, peer-to-peer systems, Grid computing and streaming databases), to domain-specific topics of event-based computing (e.g. workflow management systems, mobile computing, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, sensors networks, user interfaces, component integration, Web services and embedded systems), to enterprise related topics (e.g. complex event detection, enterprise application integration, real time enterprises and Web services notifications). DEBS 2011 Tracks Five types of submissions will be accepted: research papers, industry papers, demos and posters including the DEBS grand challenge, the DEBS gong show, and PhD Workshop contributions. Further details about each submission type can be found on the call page specific for that type of contribution. Research Track All submissions must be original and unpublished. Submissions must be in the ACM format for conference proceedings. The research track of the conference adopts a double blind review process, where neither authors nor reviewers know each others' identities. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and disseminated through the ACM Digital Library. Industrial Track There are two types of submissions: industrial track papers and industrial experience reports. Industry Track Papers DEBS2011 is calling for high quality papers, to be published in the DEBS proceedings, of industry related articles of interest to, and to be presented to, the DEBS community. Industrial track papers should cover some novel use or development of event sensing, distribution or processing (operation, agent or network), or some combination of these, with an industry theme. Submitters should come from a commercial organization - either a software supplier or software end-user - although joint submissions between commercial and academic teams are also encouraged. We encourage developers from commercial organizations to publish methods and results that they have found useful in their development and are willing to share with the wider audience of the DEBS community. Industrial Experience Reports DEBS2011 is calling for proposals of industrial experience reports. The submission will be in form of the proposed presentation abstract, and will not require a full paper. Presentation proposals will be evaluated based on their interest to the DEBS community; Submitters should come from a commercial organization - either a Software Supplier or Software End-User - although joint submissions between commercial and academic teams are also encouraged. We encourage developers from commercial organizations to present methods and results that they have found useful in their development and are willing to share with the wider audience of the DEBS community whilst perhaps not desiring to create an academic paper on their subject. Tutorials Following the success of the tutorial days in the last two DEBS conferences, DEBS 2011 will host a one-day, multi-track tutorial program for which it solicits proposals for tutorials. The goal of the tutorial program of DEBS 2011 is to provide independent instruction on topics related to event-based computing, both fitting for the research audience and to an industrial audience. We solicit both long (3 hours) and short (1.5 hours) tutorials. A tutorial may cover a wide scope of topics ranging from practical techniques and guidelines over standards to theoretical work. Please note that no marketing or product specific tutorials will be accepted. Tutorial levels may be introductory, intermediate, or advanced. Topics of broad interest are preferred. Demos, Posters and the DEBS 2011 Challenge Posters Poster presentations offer researchers an opportunity to present significant work in progress or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Further, poster presentations provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the poster session. The authors are expected to prepare and present a poster during an exhibit-style conference reception. Poster submissions are welcomed in areas related to any aspect of event processing as identified in the call for contributions. Posters should focus on problems and methodology of the presented research. Accepted contributions will be published in electronic form. Demos Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing event-based systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcomed in any of the areas identified in the call for papers. The authors are expected to prepare a poster and perform a live software demonstration on their own laptop during an exhibit-style conference reception. Any special requirements should be identified in the appendix of the paper. Accepted contributions will be published in electronic form. Poster submissions and system demonstrations can overlap the work described in other kinds of submissions. DEBS 2011 Challenge The DEBS Challenge is the premier event for demonstrating practical progress towards achieving the vision of the Event Processing Fabric defined in the Event Processing Dagstuhl Seminar in 2010. The challenge will include a specification of an event processing application, and solicit implementations of this application, there will be two tracks: the research prototypes track and the commercial products track. The focus on the challenge will be on ease of development. The research prototypes track will also grant award for the best implementation. All implementers will be invited to present their work in the conference. DEBS 2011 Gong Show The gong show will consist of short presentations about visionary and/or outrageous ideas towards the next generation of event-based systems. Selection will be done by submitting a short abstract. The audience will vote for the best idea. Doctoral and PhD Workshop We welcome submissions from students who are enrolled in a PhD program and are working on topics relevant to those covered by the DEBS 2011 conference. We encourage submissions from students who are at the late stages of their doctoral work, and who can therefore present a relatively "complete" story about their research. We also encourage submissions from students in the beginning stages of their program, and thus have a significant "future work" component. The former category will have the opportunity to present their research to a wider audience in preparation for a job search, whereas the latter can obtain valuable feedback about their upcoming research plans. Students in both stages of their careers will benefit from interacting with each other, as well as with members of the event processing research community represented at the conference. -- ==================================================== Avigdor Gal, D.Sc.

WORLDCOMP 2011 will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel speakers have included: Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer/ architecture, U. of California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known as Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as Father of Grid Computing; U. of Chicago& ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (pioneer/VR, U. of California, Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim Gettys (known as X-man, developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC), Prof. John Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming, Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D. Athey (NIH Program Director, U. of Michigan), Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna (pioneer, U. of Southern California), Dr. Jose L. Munoz (NSF Program Director and Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (Broad Institute of MIT& Harvard U.), Prof. Lotfi A. 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, ... The names of session chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and on the cover of the books. Proposals to organize sessions should include the following information: name and address (+ email) of proposer, his/her biography, title of session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session, the name of the conference the session is submitted for consideration (ie, FECS), and a short description on how the session will be advertised (in most cases, session proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the session proposer). email your session proposal to editor(a)world-comp.org We would like to receive the session proposals as soon as possible. NEWS: Thanks to authors and speakers of last conference and members of the editorial boards who informed us of the following good news: According to "Microsoft Academic Search" (a Microsoft initiative) the FECS conference is now listed as worldwide "Top-ranked Conferences" (based on various metrics but mainly based on the number of citations). You can access "Microsoft Academic Search" and specific information extracted from it using the web link below: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Conference/1983?query=FECS As can be seen, papers published in FECS proceedings have been cited over 3,350 times (this data excludes the citations for the 2010 published papers) - such a citation number is even higher than many reputable journals in the same area. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This email was sent to: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at To opt out of this email list: http://world-comp.org/cgi-bin/rm/full.cgi?60DD6214-5F75-11DE-8C2B-D40E0F3C4…
