Customers (enterprises or individuals) can then provision and deploy these services in a pay-as-you-go fashion and in a convenient way while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructures. It has evoked a high degree of interest internationally with many challenges such as security and privacy remaining open. Green computing, in general, aims to enable computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. With dramatically increasing demand on computing and storage systems, IT infrastructures have been scaled tremendously which results in huge amount of energy consumption, heat dissemination, greenhouse emission and even part of climate change. As such, green computing has come to the picture seeking solutions for computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. While customers can enjoy green atmosphere as well as cost saving and convenience because cloud computing accommodates their IT infrastructures in the cloud, how to green the cloud becomes increasingly challenging and extremely important in terms of global energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: 18th Int. Conf. on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management --EKAW 2012-- Datum: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:09:48 +0100 Von: Annette ten Teije <annette(a)cs.vu.nl> Antwort an: Annette ten Teije <annette(a)cs.vu.nl> An: Annette ten Teije <annette(a)cs.vu.nl> NOTICE: deadline 18th of April 2012 (Abstract), 25th of April 2012 (Paper) Call for Papers: 18th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2012) National University of Ireland Galway Quadrangle October 8-12, 2012. http://ekaw2012.ekaw.org The 18th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and its role in the construction of knowledge-intensive systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent information integration, etc. The special focus of the 18th edition of EKAW will be on "Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management that matters". We are explicitly calling for papers that have a potentially high impact on a specific community or application domain (e.g. pharmacy and life sciences), as well as for papers which report on the development or evaluation of publicly available data sets relevant for a large number of applications. Moreover, we welcome contributions dealing with problems specific to modeling and maintenance of real-world data or knowledge, such as scalability and robustness of knowledge-based applications, or privacy and provenance issues related to organizational knowledge management. In addition to the main research track, EKAW 2012 will feature a tutorial and workshop program, as well as a poster and demo track. Moreover, there will be a Doctoral Consortium giving new PhD students a possibility to present their research proposals, and to get feedback on methodological and practical aspects of their planned dissertation. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. The LNCS volume will contain the contributed research papers as well as descriptions of the demos presented at the conference. Papers published at any of the workshops will be published in dedicated workshop proceedings. EKAW 2012 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methods, tools and methodologies relevant with regard to the following topics: 1) “Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering that matters” • Real-world applications of methods for knowledge management and engineering in domains such as - e-Government and public administration - Life sciences, health and medicine - Automotive and manufacturing industry - Cultural heritage applications - Digital libraries • Development and evaluation of publicly available knowledge repositories for new applications or domains • Methods and methodologies addressing the challenges of real-world data, e.g., - Scalability, robustness etc. - Maintenance costs and financial risks - Privacy and data security • Lessons learned from case studies, e.g., - Knowledge management in large organizations - Adoption of semantic web technologies - Maintenance of corporate knowledge repositories 2) Knowledge Management • Methodologies and tools for knowledge management • Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration • Best practices and lessons learned from case studies • Provenance and trust in knowledge management • Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies • Corporate memories for knowledge management • Evolution, maintenance and preservation of knowledge • Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge management • Incentives for human knowledge acquisition (e.g. games with a purpose) 3) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition • Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering • Ontology design patterns • Ontology localization • Ontology alignment • Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation • Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri, folksonomies etc.) • Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning • Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data • Ontology evaluation and metrics • Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation • Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge 4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation • Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science • Synergies between humans and machines • Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks • Knowledge ecosystems • Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis • Trust and privacy in knowledge representation • Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition • Crowdsourcing in knowledge management As last EKAW conference we will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria. The PC will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories. • Research papers: These are “standard” papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as proof-of concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation. • In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world data. Evaluations should involve a representative subset of the actual users of the system. • Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review theses problems from a new perspective, in order contribute to a better understanding of these problem in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. Submissions of research and in-use papers should comprise a maximum of 15 pages formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines and uploaded using Easychair ( http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2012). Position papers are required to have at most 5 pages in the same format. We will select the best papers from EKAW and invite the authors for a special edition of Journal of Data Semantics. Important Dates: Abstract Submission: 18th of April 2012 Paper Submission: 25th of April 2012 Notification: 6th of June 2012 Camera Ready: 30 of June 2012 Organizing Committee: General chair: Heiner Stuckenschmidt Co-chair and local organizer: Siegfried Handschuh Program chairs: Annette ten Teije, Johanna Voelker Workshop and tutorials chairs: Claudia d’Amato, Krysztof Janowicz Demo and poster chairs: Mathieu d’Aquin, Andriy Nikolov Doctoral consortium chairs: Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles, Nathalie Hernandez Sponsor chair: Christian Bizer -- 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

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] 2st CFP: Journal of Grid Computing, Springer Special Issue on Data Mng. and Min. on Grids and Clouds Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:05:25 +0100 From: Alfredo Cuzzocrea <cuzzocrea(a)si.deis.unical.it> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Call for Papers ------------------ Journal of Grid Computing (http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/10723), Springer (http://www.springer.com/?SGWID=5-102-0-0-0), Special Issue on "Models and Algorithms for High-Performance Data Management and Mining on Computational Grids and Clouds" (http://si.deis.unical.it/cuzzocrea/JOGC2012/) Chair ------- Alfredo Cuzzocrea (http://si.deis.unical.it/cuzzocrea/), ICAR-CNR and University of Calabria, Italy Aim and Scope ------------------- High-performance data management and mining are well-known resource- and time-consuming activities that have attracted a great deal of interest from the research community. High-performance data management can be reasonably intended as a intermediate step of high-performance data mining activities over large-scale amounts of data, while still keeping unaltered the primary and self-contained focus of achieving effectiveness and efficiency in these task themselves. There exists a wide range of application scenarios where high-performance data management and mining play a critical role. Among these, we recall: prediction of natural disasters, analysis of massive sensor and stream data, scientific computing and e-science, fraud detection, business intelligence, cloud intelligence, and so forth. In the application scenarios above, the usage of computational Grids and Clouds, which is a well-understood and mature paradigm for computational intelligence whose merits are not only limited to high-performance capabilities, but also they convey to novel amenities falling in the wide range of e-science and scientific computing. All in one, coupling high-performance computational Grids and Clouds with data management and mining activities pursues the goal of creating a successful environment for data management and mining over large-scale amounts of data, which, beyond to the major goal of achieving high-performance during the execution of these activities, embeds a plethora of innovative features, such as: (i) providing scientists with the capabilities of allowing flexibility during the creation of scientific workflows; (ii) enriching data management and mining with relevant benefits, such as automation of analysis processes and dimensionality reduction; (iii) allowing for the capability of obtaining well-defined and well-structured data management and mining activities over large-scale data; (iv) providing problem-solving environments where analysts can re-produce the typical algorithm editing process, with meaningful abstractions on primitives and black-box components. With these goals in mind, the proposed Journal of Grid Computing (JOGC) special issue will cover theoretical as well as practical aspects of models and algorithms for high-performance data management and mining on computational Grids and Clouds, thus constituting a milestone in Grid and Cloud-focused database and data mining research, with a rare multi-aspect research vision spanning from elegant models and formalisms to effective and comprehensive methodologies and efficient algorithms. Relevant research areas for the proposed JOGC special issue include, but are not limited to, the following ones: - foundations of high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining models; - high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining methodologies; - high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining techniques; - high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining algorithms; - scalable disk-based models for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - scalable disk-based algorithms for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - multi-core models for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - multi-core algorithms for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - cluster-based models for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - cluster-based algorithms for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - cloud-based models for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - cloud-based algorithms for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - SOA-based models for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - SOA-based algorithms for high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - P2P-oriented high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - Map-Reduce-based high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining;; - Service-oriented high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining; - high-performance Grid and Cloud data management and mining in innovative contexts like streams, sensors, mobile environments and social networks.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - ICST Transactions on e-Education and e-Learning Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:08:34 -0400 From: Giovanni Vincenti <giovanni.vincenti(a)icst.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CfP - ICST Transactions on e-Education and e-Learning http://icst.org/e-education-and-e-learning/ Scope Education is one domain that has accompanied civilization through the centuries, adapting its tools to fulfill the expectations of the students and the needs of the teachers. Such tools can be as obvious and traditional as pencils and a notebook, or as complex and innovative as websites and multi-user virtual environments. Typical in-person learning environments, such as classrooms and meeting rooms, are at times not the best solution to enable and maximize a student’s ability to learn. Although they do fulfill their purpose of giving students the possibility of reaching course material and instructors, they also create a barrier that cannot be easily overcome. Web-based instruction and multi-user virtual environments break the time-limited barrier innate to typical lectures and explore, through innovative technologies, a concept as old as humankind: socialization and the feeling of belonging to a community. Many universities, public institutions and private businesses are projecting themselves on the Internet and in virtual worlds to reach the customer at any time, giving them the idea of virtual presence that cannot be delivered through a simple website. Topics to be discussed in this journal focus on (but not limited to) the following concepts: • Teaching / Educational Models and Frameworks • Accessibility and usability of web-based instruction in the classroom • Best Practices • Developing courses and content to be used in on-line educational environments • Student engagement • Experiments • Impacts of on-line on traditional teaching and learning strategies Editors in Chief Giovanni Vincenti, Towson University, Towson, MD, USA James Braman, Towson University, Towson, MD, USA Unique Advantages of Publishing with ICST ICST offers authors the revolutionary e-SCRIPTS system – a Web 2.0-based peer-review and manuscript management application that guarantees objective and fast reviewing, through an innovative reviewer bidding process that automatically matches the most qualified reviewer to the paper based on internationally recognized indicators such as H-index. Also based on that, acceptance decisions are expected to be now made in weeks instead of many months. In addition, ICST provides extremely short publication times by posting the paper on-line immediately after acceptance and extreme visibility/impact to the scientific community via synergies with the other ICST tools such as EU Digital Library and a broad abstract dissemination channel without compromises on the protection of authors’ intellectual property. All these innovative aspects are coupled with traditional elements of technical excellence, such as indexing by ISI, EI, DBLP, INSPEC, Google Scholar, and all other major indexing organizations, as well as ISSN registration. Publishing models ICST Transactions utilize the Open Access publication model, letting any reader access the material in each issue. The innovation that ICST is embracing consists in the copyrighting of the articles. Publishing through the Transactions will not limit you to reuse your work. By retaining the full rights to the articles, authors will be able to re-use the material without the need of requesting permission to the publishing organization, like in most cases. IMPORTANT: We will NOT charge publishing fees for this next issue. In short: • Fast and high-quality review; • Rapid publication; • Innovative publishing tools; • Open Access publication; • Retention of the copyright for re-use of the material without the need to gain permission; • Decision-making really open to the community. Special Issues Proposals ICST Transactions on e-Education and e-Learning is aiming at devoting space for special issues on specific topics proposed by Guest Editors.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP HICSS 2013 - Enterprise System Integration: Issues and Answers
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Mar '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP HICSS 2013 - Enterprise System Integration: Issues and Answers Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:51:22 +0000 From: Paulo Rupino Cunha <rupino(a)dei.uc.pt> To: ISWorld list <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: HICSS 2013, January 7 - 10, 2013, Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii TRACK: Organizational Systems and Technology MINI-TRACK: Enterprise System Integration: Issues and Answers Deadlines for submission: June 15, 2012 The lack of application integration is widely considered as a barrier for the automation of business processes. During the last two decades, organisations have turned to the adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions, and now Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) to address the challenges companies face when they want to integrate systems. ERP applications are integrated suites that are becoming mature technologies in many organizations. Accordingly, an increasing body of academic research has been devoted to this important area. The academic literature, and to a good extent, the professional literature, has been focused on using ERP systems to consolidate and refine the business processes within an organization (intra-company business processes). Although, ERP solutions support and improve business processes, they have their limitations when they collaborate with other existing information systems. Normative literature shows that intra-organizational integration is achieved in cases where ERP systems have replaced most of the custom built applications. However, the integration of business processes and systems is complicated and difficult in those cases that ERP solutions co-exist alongside other disparate intra-organizational applications. This issue is more complex when automating inter-organizational business processes and value chains or after a merger or acquisition. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) has emerged to address these problems. EAI is based on a diversity of technologies such as message brokers and adapters to lead flexible and manageable integrated intra and inter-organizational IT infrastructures. ERP vendors have recognized the importance of EAI technology and have evolved the EAI technologies into Service Oriented Architecture products. Recently the ERP industry has turned to Cloud Computing, as Cloud technology allows ERP vendors and users (organizations) to maximize their benefits. Topics or research questions that are of particular interest include the following: • How does ERP and the migration towards SOA evolve or change the university or college curriculum? • What are the costs and benefits of ERP/ SOA installations? Have expectations have been realized? How do we know? • What are the true costs of implementing an integrated enterprise solution and how are these costs accounted for in organizations? • How are Integrated Enterprise Systems (ES) being adopted by organizations? What changes do organizations go through to get and deploy an ES? What resulting changes occur after the ES is implemented? Anticipated or not? • What are the common challenges and opportunities associated with integrating solutions within an enterprise? Across enterprises? • How do you keep and hire ERP specialists? How are organizations addressing the shortage of ERP specialists? How can colleges help with the shortage? • How do you manage the software development process in an ERP implementation? How can the Project management and change management research be applied here? • What is the real value of hands-on experience with ERP/SOA in college curricula? • How are ERP systems being extended beyond the internal business processes? What types of system-to-system interfaces are being used? • What SOA standards need to be in place for future expansion of ERP systems? • What are some of the issues surrounding ERP usage, implementation, etc. when companies merge or use different ERP systems to meet different needs of the same but diverse organization? • What are the Benefits, Barriers, Costs of SOA technology? • What factors influence SOA adoption and use? • What is the role of Business Process Management/Modeling when deploying an Integrated Enterprise System? • What are the implementation methodologies and the best practices for integrating business systems? • What do ERP and/or SOA/Cloud case studies tell us? • How can we measure ERP and SOA/Cloud performance? • What are the emerging business models or what comes after SOA? • What are the organizational, political, and cultural barriers related with ERP/ SOA/Cloud Computing adoption? • What development have been achieved regarding ERP in the Cloud? • How does ERP fit in a word of an Internet of Services?

All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. The name of the conference (ie, FECS) that the paper is being submitted for consideration must be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the final Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee will be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees by using a double-blinded review process. In addition, all papers whose authors include a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels). Authors whose papers are accepted will be instructed to upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct typesetting. At this point, authors will be required to attest to the originality of their work (ie, declaring that no part of the work is plagiarized and the paper does not suffer from any acts of plagiarism.) Proceedings of FECS will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each published paper (science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; worldcomp tracks are selected to be among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the proceedings of FECS was included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference. In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers - these books will be composed after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after the conference. SUBMISSION OF POSTER PAPERS: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except for the submission is limited to 2 pages. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only the author of the accepted paper wishes to do so. IMPORTANT DATES: March 27, 2012: Submission of full papers (about 7 pages) April 26, 2012: Notification of acceptance (+/- 2 days) May 12, 2012: Final papers + Copyright/Consent + Registration July 16-19, 2012: The 2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Education: Computer Science and Computer Engineering (FECS'12) GENERAL INFORMATION: FECS conference is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other research conferences, WORLDCOMP congress.

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of the congress 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 fields 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. 67969 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF PROCEEDINGS: The conference proceedings enjoy a high number of citations.
