c -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CfP: SI of Computer Journal on Digital Forensics [3] Datum: Sun, 12 Jun 2011 14:50:43 +0200 Von: Krzysztof Szczypiorski <ksz(a)tele.pw.edu.pl> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Third Call for Papers SI of Computer Journal on Digital Forensics Computer Journal by Oxford University Press Online ISSN 1460-2067 - Print ISSN 0010-4620 "Special Issue on Digital Forensics" Today’s world’s societies are becoming more and more dependent on open networks such as the internet, where commercial activities, business transactions and government services are realised. This has led to the fast development of new cyber threats and numerous information security issues, which are exploited by cyber criminals. The inability to provide trusted secure services in contemporary computer network technologies has a tremendous socio-economic impact on global enterprises as well as individuals. Moreover, frequently occurring international frauds make it necessary to conduct investigations of facts across international borders. Such examinations are often subject to different jurisdictions and legal systems. The internet has acted as an alternate avenue for the criminals to conduct their activities and launch attacks with relative anonymity. Traces of illegal digital activities are often buried in large volumes of data, making detecting offences and collecting evidence difficult. Nowadays, digital crime scenes function like any other network, with dedicated administrators acting as first responders. This poses new challenges for law enforcement policies and requires the services of digital forensics to combat the increasing number of cybercrimes. Digital forensics is a recently emerged research area and has attracted the attention of computer professionals, law enforcement experts and practitioners. It is a multidisciplinary area that includes, for example, law, computer science, finance, networking, data mining and criminal justice. However, despite increased interest, the field still faces diverse challenges, most commonly related to the efficiency of the digital evidence processing and the resulting forensic procedures. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the research accomplishments of researchers from academia and industry. It is to show the latest research results in the field of digital forensics and to present the development of tools and techniques that assist the investigation process of potentially illegal cyber activity. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on theoretical approaches and practical case reviews. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: • Digital forensics tools and applications • Digital forensics case studies and best practices • Formal standards, procedures and methods in digital forensics • Privacy issues in digital forensics • Computer and network forensics • Network traffic analysis, traceback andattribution • Incident response, investigation and evidence handling • Integrity of digital evidence and liveinvestigations • Identification, authentication and collection of digital evidence • Cybercrime-related investigations • Anti-forensic techniques and methods • Watermarking and intellectual property theft • Analysis techniques for digital forensics and information assurance research • Social networking forensics • Steganography/steganalysis and covert/subliminal channels in digital forensics • New methods for detecting and eliminating network steganography • Political and business issues related to digital forensicsand anti-forensic techniques and methods Original and high quality contributions that have not yet been published or are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. The submitted papers should be formatted according to the journal style. For more detailed information concerning the requirements for submission, please refer to the journal homepage here. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted to Section B of the Computer Journal through the online submission system available at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/compj. Authors must state in their cover letter that the paper is for the special issue “Digital Forensics”. All papers will be rigorously reviewed based on their originality, high scientific quality, organization, clarity of writing, conclusions and relevance to this Special Issue. The manuscripts will be accepted or rejected in line with the usual standards of The Computer Journal. Besides normal submissions, selected best papers of the IWNS 2011 (International Workshop on Network Steganography) and IWDF 2011 (International Workshop on Digital Forensics) can be submitted to this special issue. There should be at least 40% difference between the extended/revised paper and the workshop paper, and the papers will be handled as all other papers in matters of refereeing and selection. **Important dates** Manuscript due: 30 June 2011 Acceptance/rejection notification: 1 October 2011 Final manuscript due: 1 November 2011 Publication date: 2012 **Guest editors** Dr Wojciech Mazurczyk Institute of Telecommunications Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Email: wmazurczyk(a)tele.pw.edu.pl Dr Krzysztof Szczypiorski Institute of Telecommunications Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Email: ksz(a)tele.pw.edu.pl

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP Deadline Extension: SOCCER'2011 Workshop, Trento, August 2011 Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:19:17 +0100 From: Lockerbie, James <James.Lockerbie.1(a)city.ac.uk> To: undisclosed-recipients:; C A L L F O R P A P E R S --------------------------- * SOCCER 2011 * Service-Oriented Computing: Consequences for Engineering Requirements Workshop co-located with the 19th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference Trento, Italy, 29th August 2011 http://home.dei.polimi.it/baresi/soccer11/ EXTENDED DEADLINE, papers due * Tuesday 14th June 2011* NB If you are interested in contributing we are also looking for short papers of approximately 2,000 words Objective --------- The objective of this workshop is to host significant and high-quality contributions in all topics related to requirements engineering for service-oriented software, with the goal of letting participants gain insights into the current state of the art and future challenges, create synergies through integration, and foster cross-cooperation. Besides building a community, the main result will be the continued development of a research agenda to guide and support researchers in the field. Topic ----- Software-based systems are changing. There is increasing interest in autonomic and self-* systems that are dynamic and flexibility based on new capabilities to self-reconfigure and self-resolve anomalous situations. Currently these capabilities are delivered using services, and in particular web services, using a service-oriented approach. Web services are the natural evolution of conventional middleware technologies to support Web-based and enterprise-level integration, but the paradigm can also serve as basis for other classes of systems. For example, it can be applied to support all systems which require a high degree of flexibility and dynamism to discover available functionality at run-time and to negotiate its quality parameters dynamically. This is the case, for example, for ambient computing and automotive applications that need to cope with changing (evolving) configurations. The dynamic nature of these systems precludes the a-priori identification of the components that define the system and demands for the run-time discovery and composition of such services. To realize a service-oriented architecture we need techniques to identify and specify requirements on services in a machine-interpretable way to enable the dynamic composition and deployment of systems that meet the expectations of the different stakeholders. We need new capabilities to monitor the behavior of deployed systems and reasoning on partial matches, deviations, and corrective actions. We need to be able to exploit the availability of services to discover new opportunities that improve existing requirements processes and techniques. And finally, we need to be able to configure systems from different types of services, including web services, software components and hybrid services that include human intervention. The workshop will enable communities that work on requirements and service-oriented applications to meet together and share their knowledge to set appropriate theoretical foundations, define special-purpose methodologies for requirements elicitation, and develop supporting technology. The workshop also aims at promoting research directions on requirements engineering for the class of applications that require autonomic and self-managing systems. Contributions ------------- Authors are expected to submit full papers of approximately 5,000 words and position papers of approximately 2,000 words. Submissions must be sent by email attachment (PDF format) tobaresi(a)elet.polimi.it <mailto:baresi@elet.polimi.it>. Full papers will be reviewed by 3 PC members and position papers by 2 PC members. Proceedings will be available on a workshop web-site available to delegates prior to the workshop, then published in the IEEE Digital Library. All submissions should be submitted using IEEE Conference Proceedings format. We will explore the possibility of having a special issue on some indexed journal if we receive a sufficient number of high-quality workshop submissions. Covered Topics -------------- A non-exclusive list of topics of interest is: * Discovering services that comply with requirements specifications * Languages, models and methodologies for requirements elicitation and specification * New service-based requirements processes and techniques in systems engineering processes * Quality aspects of self-adapting systems * Run-time monitoring of system requirements and QoS * Requirements based service composition * Requirements based services monitoring * Requirements for context-aware systems * Requirements for adaptivity and adaptability * Requirements for ambient computing * Requirements for QoS * Requirements for multi-channel applications * Security requirements * Service-level agreement * Service outsourcing * Specifying systems with dynamically changing boundaries * Autonomous, self-managing systems Important Dates --------------- * Submission of papers: Tuesday 14th June 2011, * Notification: Friday 24th June 2011 * Camera-ready versions: Monday 18th July 2011 * Workshop date: Monday 29th August 2011 Organizing Committee -------------------- * Luciano Baresi - Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy * Liliana Pasquale - Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy * Neil Maiden - City University London, United Kingdom * James Lockerbie - City University London, United Kingdom Program Committee ----------------- * Xavi Franch - UPC Barcelona, Spain * Paolo Giorgini - Information Engineering and Computer Science Department (DISI), University of Trento, Trento, Italy * Andreas Metzger - Paluno, University of Duisberg-Essen, Germany * Ita Richardson - LERO - the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, Limerick, Ireland * Camille Salenisi - Universite de Paris 1 Sorbonne, Paris, France * Angelo Susi - IRST - Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy * Kos Zachos - City University London, United Kingdom

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen zum Workshop "Senioren. Medien. Übermorgen." auf der M&C 2011 Datum: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:46:31 +0200 Von: Alexander Richter <alexander.richter(a)unibw.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen Workshop: "Senioren. Medien. Übermorgen." im Rahmen der Mensch und Computer 2011, 13.09.2011, Chemnitz Aktuell finden in ganz Europa unter dem Begriff Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) umfangreiche Aktivitäten statt, um die Lebensqualität einer zunehmend älter werdenden Gesellschaft durch die Entwicklung neuer Technologien nachhaltig zu sichern. Das Ziel dieser Bemühungen besteht darin, neue Dienstleistungen und Technologien und insbesondere Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien zu entwickeln, um älteren Menschen so lange wie möglich ein selbstbestimmtes, unabhängiges und sozial integriertes Leben in ihren eigenen vier Wänden zu ermöglichen. Dabei bleiben die Potenziale von IUK-Technologien der Generation 60+ derzeit oftmals noch vorenthalten. Ältere Menschen haben eigene Bedarfe und Erfahrungshintergründe bzgl. Medienerwartungen, welche es zu erfüllen gilt. Insbesondere die Komplexität sozialer Medien aus dem Web 2.0-Umfeld, die Anzahl und Art der angebotenen Funktionen sowie die konkrete Gestaltung der Schnittstellen stellen einen großen Forschungsbedarf aber auch Marktpotenziale im Kontext der Zielgruppe dar. Gleichzeitig wird durch zahlreiche AAL-Initiativen ein neues Anwendungsfeld und Markt vorangetrieben, welcher wettbewerbsfähige, einfach zu bedienende Produkte mit ansprechendem Design für die Zielgruppe "Ältere Menschen" hervorbringt: "Senioren-Medien (für) Übermorgen." Der Workshop "Senioren. Medien. Übermorgen." wird von drei Organisationen koordiniert, die alle in jeweils unterschiedlichen AAL-EU-Projekten daran arbeiten, dass das o.g. Ziel erreicht wird, wettbewerbsfähige, einfach zu bedienende Produkte mit ansprechendem Design für die Zielgruppe "Ältere Menschen" zu gestalten. Bei den drei Projekten handelt es sich um. . das Projekt ALICE (http://www.aal-alice.eu), . ALICE erforscht, entwickelt und integriert ein Set von Web 2.0-basierten interaktiven Diensten in das bestehende TV-Gerät. Mit diesen Diensten werden ältere Menschen in die Lage versetzt, in ihrer gewohnten Umgebung auf die Instrumente der IT-basierten Kommunikation und der sozialen Interaktion zurückzugreifen. So will ALICE neue Wege für ältere Menschen auftun, um Momente der Freude, des Spaßes und der Fröhlichkeit trotz der vorherrschenden räumlichen Distanz zu Freunden und Familie zu gewährleisten. .das Projekt ELISA (http://www.elisaproject.eu), . Ziel dieses Projektes ELISA ist es, ein nutzerorientiertes soziales Interaktionswerkzeug zu entwickeln, das es älteren Menschen ermöglicht, auf einfache Art und Weise mit Familie und Freunden in Kontakt zu bleiben bzw. neue interessante Kontakte zu knüpfen. Dieses Interaktionswerkzeug hilft dabei, lokale Aktivitäten, Gesundheits- und Freizeitangebote zu finden sowie an diesen einfach teilzunehmen. . und das Projekt FoSIBLE (http://fosible.eu). Das Projekt FoSIBLE erforscht und entwickelt neuartige Unterstützungsansätze zur sozialen Interaktion Älterer im Kontext eigener Wohnräume. Hierzu werden sowohl Medienanwendungen und Geräte aus dem Umfeld von Fernsehen und interaktiven Spielen verbunden als auch neuartige Ansätze aus dem Bereich der Heimsensorik (SmartHome), Gesten-Erkennung und intelligenter Möbel (SmartFurniture) erforscht und integriert. Zentrale Fragestellungen des Workshops Zentrale Fragestellungen für diesen Workshop sind technologischer, sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Natur: Wie (intensiv) nutzen ältere Menschen die neuen Medien und Technologien? Welche Tätigkeiten unterstützen ältere Menschen durch neue Technologien? Welche Motivationsfaktoren und Nutzungsbarrieren existieren hinsichtlich neuer Technologien bei älteren Menschen und insbesondere hinsichtlich Web 2.0 typischer Angebote wie Sozialen Netzwerken? Welche Methoden existieren, um ältere Menschen in der Erlangung von Computer- bzw.- Web (2.0)-Literacy zu unterstützen? Welche Chancen und Barrieren gibt es für ältere Menschen bei der Benutzung von Systemen, insbesondere in einer sich rasch weiter entwickelnden Umwelt? Welche Anforderungen haben ältere Menschen an die Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle in der Benutzung webbasierter Dienste und Plattformen? Welche Gestaltungsoptionen und Anforderungen ergeben sich für die Forschung& Entwicklung neuartiger Interaktionskonzepte für die Zielgruppe? Welche neuartigen Anforderungen und Methoden entstehen für die lebensnahe Evaluation im Anwendungskontext durch beispielsweise Living Labs? Welche Gestaltungsoptionen und Anforderungen existieren für Social TV und Community-Systeme für ältere Menschen? Welche Innovationspotentiale und Handlungsoptionen entstehen im Wechselspiel zwischen Forschung und Markt im AAL-Kontext? Wie können nachhaltige Geschäftsmodelle für Produkte und Dienstleistungen im AAL-Umfeld aussehen? Zielgruppen und Beitragsformen des Workshops Der Workshop richtet sich sowohl an Akteure aus der anwendungsorientierten Forschung als auch an Entscheidungsträger aus der Praxis und soll als ganztägige Veranstaltung eine Diskussion zwischen Theorie und Praxis stimulieren. Es können sowohl geplante Entwicklungen (Design-Studien und Demonstrationen) als auch bereits durchgeführte Studien eingereicht werden, welche diese Aspekte behandeln. Empirische Studien (auch Experimente) aus der Psychologie, CSCW, BWL, (Wirtschafts )Informatik und Sozialwissenschaften sowie Erfahrungswerte aus der Praxis sind ebenso erwünschte Beiträge zur Einreichung.

Fwd: [computational.science] Call for papers for MSM 2011 (Modeling Social Media), co-located with IEEE SocialCom
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Jun '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Call for papers for MSM 2011 (Modeling Social Media), co-located with IEEE SocialCom Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 04:37:38 +0000 From: <alvin.chin(a)nokia.com> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Hi all, Based on the success of MSM 2010 which was held in Hypertext 2010 in Toronto, Canada (http://kmi.tugraz.at/workshop/MSM10/), please consider submitting to MSM 2011, the 2nd International Workshop on Modeling Social Media (co-located with IEEE SocialCom 2011). Call for papers is below: http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ws/msm2011/ Objectives Continuing the success of MSM 2010, we would like to address the user interface aspects of modeling social media. Much, if not all, interaction is done through some sort of user interface, however how to model social media through the user interface has still not been standardized. For example, people interact with their Facebook friends through the Facebook interface or perhaps another SNS interface like Seesmic. How do we model this user interface, and can this model be replicated to other social media and other form factors like new pad-based devices like the Apple iPad and to more recent high graphics-oriented smartphones like the Apple iPhone 4? The goal of this workshop is to continue our vibrant discussion on modeling social media, focusing on the user interface modeling. The workshop aims to attract and discuss various aspects of user interface modeling in social media using a wide range of modeling perspectives (such as justificative, explanative, descriptive, formative, predictive, etc models) and approaches (statistical modeling, conceptual modeling, temporal modeling, etc). We want to bring together social networking researchers and user interface designers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds interested in 1) exploring different perspectives and approaches to modeling complex social media phenomena and systems through the user interface, 2) the different purposes and applications that models of social media can serve, and 3) issues of integrating and validating user interfaces in social media systems. Topics of Interest Topics may include, but are not limited to: * New modeling techniques and approaches for user interfaces in social media * Application design for user interfaces of social media (phone, pad-based, PC, web) * modeling social media users and their motivations and goals * Modeling user behaviour in social media * User-centered design for social media * Models of user cooperation and collaboration in social media * Trust and user-acceptance of social media * Integrating user interface design with social media * Testing user interface models and social media applications * Usability in social media interfaces (is usability not much of a concern since connectivity is more important?) We also encourage submissions which relate research results from other areas to the workshop topics. ________________________________ Workshop Organizers * Alvin Chin, Nokia Research Center, Beijing, China * Martin Atzmueller, University of Kassel, Germany * Denis Helic, Graz University of Technology, Austria ________________________________ Program Committee * Ed Chi, PARC, USA * Markus Strohmaier, Graz University of Technology, Austria * Daniel Gayo-Avello, University of Oviedo, Spain * Jordi Cabot, INRIA, France * Wai-Tat Fu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA * Thomas Kannampallil, University of Texas, USA * Andreas Hotho, University of Würzburg, Germany * Ciro Cattuto, ISI Foundation, Italy * Marc Smith, ConnectedAction, USA * Huan Liu, Arizona State University, USA * Gerd Stumme, University of Kassel, Germany * Else Nygren, Uppsala University, USA * Ido Guy, IBM Research, Israel * Pranam Kolari, Yahoo Research, USA ________________________________ Submission and Proceedings We intend to publish proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and include them on the conference CD.
