The proceedings of the congress enjoys a high number of citations; about 26,000 citations have been made (so far) to papers published in the proceedings. IMPORTANT NOTE: This announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit their papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore, authors who have already submitted papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers" should IGNORE this announcement. (Those who have been notified that their papers have been accepted, MUST still follow the instructions that were emailed to them; including meeting the deadlines mentioned in the notifications that were sent to them). IMPORTANT DATES: May 25, 2012: Submission of papers for evaluation June 6, 2012: Notification of acceptance/not-acceptance June 19, 2012: Registration July 16-19, 2012: All tracks of the federated World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (Las Vegas, USA) July 30, 2012: Camera-Ready Papers Due for publication (papers submitted and accepted in response to this announcement will be published in the Final Edition of the proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference.) SUBMISSION OF FULL PAPERS AND INDEXING INFORMATION: Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them to the evaluation web site at: http://world-comp.org Submissions must be uploaded by May 25, 2012 and must be in either MS doc or pdf formats (about 7 pages including all figures, tables, and references - single space, font size of 10 to 12). 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 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 (for the list of joint conferences, see below). The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. 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. The proceedings 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; this set of proceedings 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 were included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. 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. Note that authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will have their papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final Edition of the conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference (the conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship the printed proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of the conference proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a number of sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book. Submission of Poster Papers: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above. 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 if the author of the accepted poster wishes to have his/her poster published as a 2-page extended abstract.)

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. 32229 The list of co-sponsors of 2012 meeting is Currently being prepared; for the 2011 list of sponsors, refer to: http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp11/ws MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF PROCEEDINGS: The congress proceedings enjoy a high number of citations.

Fwd: [WI] 2nd CfP ASPOCP 2012: 5th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms
by Gustaf Neumann 11 May '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CfP ASPOCP 2012: 5th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms Datum: Fri, 11 May 2012 13:03:29 +0200 Von: aspocp(a)gmail.com Antwort an: aspocp(a)gmail.com An: undisclosed-recipients:; =============================================================================== SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2012 5th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms http://sites.google.com/site/aspocp12 September 4th, 2012 Collocated with the International Conference on Logic Programming 2012 Budapest, Hungary September 4-8, 2012 =============================================================================== AIMS AND SCOPE Since its introduction in the late 1980s, answer set programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which has led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most studied relationship which is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL theorem provers, and CLP systems. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction. This workshop will facilitate the discussion about crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving, and applications , in combination with or inspired by other computing paradigms. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). - ASP and constraint programming. - ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). - ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. - ASP and probabilistic reasoning. - ASP and machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions to ASP. - ASP and multi-agent systems. - ASP and multi-context systems. - Modularity and ASP. - ASP and argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. - Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. - ASP and related paradigms in applications. - Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS Papers must describe original research and should not exceed 15 pages in the Springer LNCS format<URL:http://www.springeronline.com/lncs/>. Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the Easychair system. The submission page is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aspocp12 IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: June 19, 2012 Notification: July 19, 2012 Camera-ready articles due: July 29, 2012 Workshop: September 4, 2012 PROCEEDINGS The workshop contributions will be published electronically, using the Computing Research Repository (CoRR).

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP - JVWR: Managerial and Commercial Applications of Virtual Worlds

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP - JVWR: Managerial and Commercial Applications of Virtual Worlds Datum: Fri, 11 May 2012 09:40:03 -0400 Von: Shu Schiller <shu.schiller(a)wright.edu> Antwort an: Shu Schiller <shu.schiller(a)wright.edu> An: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): Brian Mennecke <mennecke(a)iastate.edu> *2nd CFP - Journal of Virtual Worlds Research: Managerial and Commercial Applications of Virtual Worlds* http://jvwresearch.org/index.php/component/content/article/10-cfps/27 The Journal of Virtual Worlds Research is an online, open access academic journal that engages a wide spectrum of scholarship and welcomes contributions from the many disciplines and approaches that intersect with virtual worlds research. Virtual worlds ignite a continuously evolving area of study that spans multiple disciplines and the JVWR editorial team looks forward to engaging a wide range of creative and scholarly research. *Motivation and Scope* The intriguing potential of virtual worlds has attracted a significant amount of scholarly work in the business research domain. As much as we recognize the invaluable contribution made by scholars in this area, we also see the need for more research that can offer visionary perspectives to shape the future design and use of virtual worlds. Through the business lens, virtual worlds are often perceived to be promising yet risky and exciting yet formidable for the use and management of individual and collaborative work. Scholars and practitioners are confronted with an apparent contradiction: on the one hand, the business case for virtual worlds appears to offer great promise; while on the other hand, the observed returns and demonstrable successes are often absent or negligible. This special issue on "managerial and commercial applications" of virtual worlds aims to highlight research that makes a significant and novel contribution in theory and practice about virtual worlds in the business domain. We are seeking papers that showcase new directions for research by examining technical, behavioral, economic, and/or social perspectives of virtual worlds in organizational and business environments. In particular, we are interested in papers that enable us to better understand managerial and organizational issues associated with virtual worlds and how these environments should be designed, used, and managed for commercial and managerial purposes to enhance business value. We especially welcome innovative and creative research that enables our audience to see the new possibilities offered by the unique affordances of virtual environments. Authors are invited to submit original scholarly manuscripts that will make significant contributions to the advancement of our understanding of managerial and commercial applications as it applies to virtual worlds. We encourage diverse methodological approaches and welcome both qualitative and quantitative research studies, as well as theoretical, conceptual, and empirical studies. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: . Novel and innovative design and development of managerial and commercial applications of virtual worlds . The use, management, and evaluation of virtual worlds in organizational settings . Individual and group behaviors in virtual worlds that are used for business purposes . Process and governance of individual and collaborative group behaviors and mechanisms in virtual worlds . The role of psychological and social attitudes and characteristics on behaviors, processes and outcomes in virtual worlds . Ethics, privacy, security, and trust issues related to virtual worlds in the business domain . Intra- and inter-organizational communication and collaboration and cultural issues in virtual worlds . Business and economic models of virtual worlds . Power and political issues related to individual, group, organizational, and societal behaviors in virtual worlds . Commercial applications and commercialization of virtual worlds technologies and environments *Submission Instructions* Authors are invited to submit original scholarly papers of up to 6000 words including footnotes, references, and appendices.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ACM RecSys Workshop on Context-Aware Recommender Systems Datum: Fri, 11 May 2012 08:29:39 +0000 Von: Hussein, Tim <tim.hussein(a)uni-due.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 4TH WORKSHOP ON CONTEXT-AWARE RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS (CARS-2012) (In conjunction with the 6th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems) September 9, 2012 - Dublin, Ireland http://www.cars-workshop.org ===================================================================== This workshop builds upon the success of the previous three Workshops on Context-Aware Recommender Systems held in New York (2009), Barcelona (2010), and Chicago (2011), which brought together an international group of researchers to explore the importance and use of contextual information in recommender systems as well as to discuss new research directions. The importance of contextual information has been recognized by researchers and practitioners in many disciplines, including e-commerce personalization, information retrieval, ubiquitous and mobile computing, data mining, marketing, and management. While a substantial amount of research has already been performed in the area of recommender systems, the vast majority of existing approaches focuses on recommending the most relevant items to users and does not take into account any additional contextual information, such as time, location, weather, or the company of other people. Therefore, this workshop aims to bring together researchers with wide-ranging backgrounds to identify important research questions, to exchange ideas from different research disciplines, and, more generally, to facilitate discussion and innovation in the area of context-aware recommender systems (CARS). In particular, topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to): -- Context modeling techniques for recommender systems; -- Context-aware user modeling for recommender systems; -- Data sets for context-dependent recommendations; -- Algorithms for detecting the relevance of contextual data -- Algorithms for incorporating contextual information into recommendation process; -- Algorithms for building explicit dependencies between contextual features and ratings; -- Interacting with context-aware recommender systems; -- Novel applications for context-aware recommender systems; -- Mobile context-aware recommender systems; -- Context-aware group recommendations; -- Large-scale context-aware recommender systems; -- Evaluation of context-aware recommender systems. In case the main topic of the paper is a challenging dataset for context-aware recommender systems, the author(s) should describe the data model and the main features of this dataset, and make the dataset available for the research community. PAPER SUBMISSION The length of research submissions is 5 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. We also encourage the submission of industry papers, which can have a length of 2-5 pages. Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates for papers in ACM SIG format are provided at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates All submissions must be in English and the files should be in PDF format. Paper submissions and reviews will be handled electronically; each paper will be evaluated by the workshop program committee based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity. All papers must be submitted through the CARS-2012 page on the EasyChair conference management site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cars2012). ACCEPTED PAPERS Authors will present their work at the workshop. Depending on the number of submissions, we are planning to have presentations in front of the workshop audience as well as a poster session, in which participants can discuss their ideas. The accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website. It is planned to publish the proceedings on CEUR as well. The workshop will NOT request the copyright transfer from the authors; therefore, after receiving feedback at the workshop, the authors will be able to submit the improved versions of their papers to conferences and journals (the workshop organizers are currently exploring the possibilities to organize a special issue on this topic in some research journal). IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission: June 18, 2012 Notification of acceptance: July 9, 2012 Please note that the deadline is final and we we can not grant any extension.

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster". The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). IJCCI is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 283 submissions, 12% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 22% were presented as short papers and 20% as posters. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. IDFR A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a SCI Series book. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index).

Conference on Computational Science and Engineering CSE 2012, 3-5 Oct 2012 http://www.wi-inf.uni-due.de/MeDMoT2012 Paper submission: 10 June 2012 ----------------------------------- PDF version: http://www.wi-inf.uni-due.de/MeDMoT2012/download/MeDMoT2012-CfP.pdf Topics: Software tools for modeling are prerequisites for scientific and practical applications of modeling methods and modeling languages. To test and exemplify new modeling approaches, research prototypes of model editors are required, as well as tools for presenting and analyzing models. To be able to efficiently develop such modeling tools. it is desirable to methodically guide the development of modeling tools, and elaborate procedures to align their design with the conceptualization of new modeling languages and modeling methods. The workshop "Methodical Development of Modeling Tools" (MeDMoT'12) focuses on procedures and architectural principles related to the creation of software for presenting, editing, transforming or analyzing models. Dates: 2012-06-10 Paper submission (with blinded author names) 2012-07-15 Notification of acceptance 2012-07-31 Camera-ready article Possible research questions for submissions are (related topics are also welcome): - How can formal language descriptions, e. g. meta-models or language grammars, be consulted for partially or fully automatizing the creation of modeling tools? - How can process models describing modeling activities be made the basis for developing process-oriented modeling tools? - Which methodical implications are bound to the use of code generation approaches to create tooling support, and how do they compare to runtime interpreter solutions? - How can versioning conflicts be handled or avoided during parallel development of modeling languages, modeling tools, and existing model instances? - Which role do model editors play as end-user interface to control applications ("models at runtime")? To what extent do "models at runtime" blur the border between developing modeling tools and other types of applications? Submission and reviews: Articles must be created in IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html), according to the guidelines of the main conference (http://www.cse2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy/index.php?p=CallForPapers). The review process will be performed double-blind, so submissions should not contain hints at the authors' identities. Each submission will be rated by three reviewers, whose comments will be made available to the authors. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE CSE 2012 conference proceedings, and will also be electronically available through the IEEE Xplore Digital Database.
