-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: IEEE ICTAI 2012 - DISN Track with Top-Quality Journal Spec Issue Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2012 23:53:39 +0200 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 ------------------ Track "Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks" (http://si.deis.unical.it/~cuzzocrea/DISN2012/) of the 24th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligent (ICTAI 2012)(http://ictai12.unipi.gr/), November 7-9, 2012, Athens, Greece. Selected papers from the session will be invited for submission to a special issue of a top quality international journal. Selected paper from the previous edition have been invited to a special issue of Journal of Network and Computer Applications (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jnca), Elsevier (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/homepage.cws_home). Aim and Scope ------------------- Sensor networks represent emerging contexts for a plethora of next-generation application scenarios, and involve both theoretical and practical research challenges beyond fundamental issues and well-known paradigms of traditional wired and wireless network settings. Various research perspectives play significant roles in sensor networks research, from distributed algorithms and reasoning to fault tolerance and identification issues, and from sensor network programming models and languages to security issues. Among these, a vibrant role is played by the fundamental issue represented by data and information processing and management in sensor networks, which concerns with the problem of (i) effectively and efficiently processing data and knowledge across sensor networks, with the goal of extracting useful information and novel knowledge from data and knowledge bases dislocated across sensor networks, as well as (ii) effectively and efficiently processing "inside-information and -knowledge" kept in the core layer of sensor networks, such as topological information, link-based hidden relations, node-camouflaged surprising/interesting knowledge. As strictly regards methodological issues, a critical drawback is represented by the fact that it is not possible to directly apply state-of-the-art data and information processing and management techniques and algorithms developed in the context of traditional centralized (e.g., stand-alone data and knowledge bases) and distributed (e.g., network data and knowledge bases) settings to sensor networks, due to inherent properties and characteristics of these networks, such as possibilities of faults, heterogeneities of platforms/architectures/protocols, changing topologies, heterogeneous data models and query languages, streaming environments, intermittent/discontinuous information handling, and so forth. As a consequence, it is not possible to simply re-adapt traditional data and information processing and management techniques and algorithms to sensor networks, but rather it is necessary to devise new paradigms and innovative solutions that are able to comply with these novel requirements and applicative settings, perhaps inspired by well-consolidated foundations and cognitive patterns developed in the context of conventional data and knowledge base management systems. Data and information processing and management in sensor networks is "naturally" an inter-topic, inter-disciplinary and multi-aspect research challenge, as many sides must be touched when dealing with such a scientific field. Among these aspects, some relevant ones are the followings: Fundamentals of Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks; Models and Paradigms for Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks; Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks Algorithms; Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks Architectures; Distributed Data and Information Processing and Management over Sensor Networks; Parallel Data and Information Processing and Management over Sensor Networks; Real-Time Data and Information Processing and Management over Sensor Networks; In-Network Data and Information Processing and Management over Sensor Networks; Data Mining over Sensor Networks; Classification over Sensor Networks; Clustering over Sensor Networks; Patterns Extraction from Sensor Networks; Association Rule Discovery from Sensor Networks; Knowledge Discovery from Sensor Networks; Machine Learning Algorithms over Networks; Data Warehousing over Sensor Networks; OLAP over Sensor Networks; Information Filtering and Retrieval from Sensor Networks; Collaborative Approaches to Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks; Uncertain and Imprecise Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks; Probabilistic Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks; Security Aspects of Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks; Privacy Preserving Issues of Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks; Interactive Exploration of Data and Knowledge Bases over Sensor Networks; Reliability and Fault-Recovery Aspects of Data and Knowledge Bases over Sensor Networks; Replication and Fragmentation of Data and Knowledge Bases over Sensor Networks; Visualization Issues of Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks With these goals in mind, and following the successful event represented by the special session Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks (http://si.deis.unical.it/~cuzzocrea/QSHINE2009/) of the 6th ICST International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness (http://www.qshine.org/2009/index.shtml), held in Canary Islands, Spain, during November 25-29, 2009, the special session Data and Information Processing and Management in Sensor Networks of the 24th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (http://ictai12.unipi.gr/), to be held in Athens, Greece, during November 7-9, 2012,will cover theoretical as well as practical aspects of data and information processing and management in sensor networks, thus constituting a milestone in sensor networks research with a rare multi-aspect research vision spanning from elegant model formalisms to effective and comprehensive methodologies and efficient algorithms.

Objective of the MMM-ACNS-2012 Conference The main objectives of the MMM-ACNS-2012 Conference are to discuss state-of-the-art in mathematical methods and models for computer networks and information security to promote a better understanding of recent achievements and trends in the computer network security, as well as making use of recent achievements in the area of advanced information technologies for computer network and information assurance. Security assurance of resident information and computer networks’ software is one of the important problems of the modern computer science and information technology. The problem importance is confirmed by ever increasing multiplicity and diversity of threads and vulnerabilities of computer networks, permanently increasing significance and value of information itself, and by potentially devastating consequences of successful attacks on integrity, resource availability and information confidentiality. Unauthorized access to computer network facilities and network resources, especially in global networks participating in real-time control operations, may be truly disastrous. There are several reasons for the complexity of the problem under study. The growing size of the network, its interconnectivity, large number of users, increasing number of vulnerable targets within the network (communication protocols, operating systems, servers, applications, etc.), and the appearance of effective and previously unknown types of attacks are among them. An additional objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and developers from academia, industry and governmental organizations to exchange ideas in a broad range of topics among researchers, security system developers and users from research and commercial perspective. Since the scope of the conference covers areas presenting specific interest for basic and applied research organizations, information about the conference will be distributed among the corresponding organizations in Russia and worldwide. So far preliminary agreement to participate in the conference is received from leading Russian Institutions doing basic and applied research in Computer Science, Telecommunication and Computer Security and from companies developing relevant industrial applications. Objective of the SA&PS4CS-2012 Workshop The Workshop is dedicated to the methods of scientific analysis and policy support for response to cyber intrusions and attacks. The main topics of the Workshop are detection, discrimination, and attribution of various activities of malefactors and response to cyber intrusions and attacks including national level information operations as well as identifying emergent cyber technologies supporting social and political activity management and trans-national distributed computing management. The Workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners involved in multiple disciplines concerning scientific analysis and policy support for cyber security to exchange ideas and to learn the latest developments in this important field. This Workshop could promote internationally shared understanding of the technically supportable indications and warnings for various types of intrusions and attacks, from the isolated to the highly coordinated, and from the forensic to strategic. The Workshop is planned on the last day of MMM-ACNS-2012. Submitting a paper The MMM-ACNS-2012 welcomes original papers from academic, government, and industry contributors on mathematical approaches and models, state-of-the-art techniques, and novel applications in the above proposed areas.

Fwd: [WI] Call for Contributions: What will the Semantic Web look like 10 years from now? - workshop at ISWC2012
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Jun '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Contributions: What will the Semantic Web look like 10 years from now? - workshop at ISWC2012 Datum: Fri, 01 Jun 2012 11:43:12 -0400 Von: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> An: Pascal Hitzler <pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de> Call for Contributions ISWC2012 workshop on What will the Semantic Web look like 10 years from now? http://stko.geog.ucsb.edu/sw2022/ The Semantic Web, as a field, is undergoing a major shift. After 10 years of mainly foundations-driven research, we now see strong indicators that Semantic Web methods are entering mainstream technology, in a number of forms. The consequent rise in commercial interest will likely have a fundamental impact on the field. Some established research results will make it into mainstream applications. Others will become obsolete. Radically new ideas will emerge. It is thus the right time for the community to contemplate the way ahead. In this workshop, we will provide an exciting forum for the discussion of the future of the Semantic Web. Researchers and practitioners from all corners of the field are invited to provide their insights and projections. The event will focus on discussions and the exchange of ideas, and will use a mix of different styles of interaction between the participants. It is always good to try to look ahead and anticipate the development of a field. For the Semantic Web, it is now particularly important because recent developments indicate that Semantic Web technologies are entering the industrial mainstream. Schema.org and the Facebook Open Graph Protocol are bringing metadata to bear on the Web large-scale. IBM's Watson and Apple's Siri incorporate Semantic Technologies. Google is revamping its search approach and is going more semantic in implementing their knowledge graph. And these are just a few of the prominent examples. The commercial uptake will be a game-changer for the field. It seems that only a fraction of the research results of the past ten years are currently being picked up. It seems that shallow semantics brings added value in many, but not all, application areas. In others it seems that there are roadblocks for which deep semantics is required for added value - but current approaches are still limited. Linked Data and Big Data are popular buzzwords right now, but could they be hitting a peak on the expectation curve? If so, what is going to happen in the subsequent dive? If not, how will those areas affect the field's future? In this workshop, we intend to bring together researchers from all corners of the broader Semantic Web community, to share and discuss projections of the way ahead in Semantic Web technologies and knowledge engineering in general. WORKSHOP FORMAT AND STRUCTURE This full-day workshop is open for all interested parties. We ask for responses to the question in the workshop's title, and they can be of a variety of formats, including short (4-6 page) papers, abstracts, slidesets or any other (up to 6 page) approach an author may wish to include. The submitted material will be assessed by the program committee and the organizers, and decisions will be made which of the contributions can be presented, and in what form. Depending on the contributions, we will have primarily short oral presentations, panel discussions, posters, and demos. Most importantly, the workshop will focus on the exchange of ideas and on discussions. SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS Sumissions, which are due by July 31, 2012, can take a variety of formats, limited to a maximum of 6 pages. They can be * single-page abstracts * short papers (4-6 pages) * a set of slides (maximum 4 slides per page) * any other format (e.g., HTML5 limited to an equivalent of 6 pages, audio or video limited by 5 minutes) - authors are encouraged to contact the chairs to get approval. All accepted submissions will be made available through the workshop web-page and the electronic conference proceedings of ISWC 2012. Accepted papers and other suitable material will be made available via CEUR-WS. Selected papers may be considered for a fast-track submission to a Semantic Web journal. Submissions must be made via easychair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sw2022 IMPORTANT DATES Submissions due: July 31, 2012 Acceptance Notification: August 21, 2012 Camera-ready Copies: September 10, 2012 ORGANIZERS Frank van Harmelen, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands James A.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CAIS Call For Papers: Patient-Centered E-Health
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CAIS Call For Papers: Patient-Centered E-Health Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2012 01:46:20 -0500 From: Vance Wilson <vancewilson(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL SECTION ON PATIENT-CENTERED E-HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (http://aisel.aisnet.org/cais/) GUEST EDITORS Vance Wilson and Diane Strong, Worcester Polytechnic Institute INTRODUCTION Patient-Centered E-Health (PCEH) is an emerging discipline that would benefit from receiving much more research attention. As a starting point, we use Wilson’s (2009) definition of PCEH as the combination of three themes: - Patient-focus: PCEH applications are developed primarily based on needs and perspectives of patients. - Patient-activity: PCEH application designs assume that patients can participate meaningfully in providing and consuming information about, and of interest to, them. - Patient-empowerment: PCEH applications assume that patients want to, and are able to, control far-ranging aspects of their health care via a PCEH application. Although e-health applications have become common, most applications focus on the needs of healthcare providers and organizations, rather than the e-health services that patients actually desire. This is not surprising because most Health IT and health and medical informatics research has necessarily started with the development and integration of electronic records and related systems, rather than delivering e-health to patients. Our objectives in creating this special section are to explore, clarify, and expand the emerging PCEH field. We are soliciting papers from all research perspectives and disciplines and from all parts of the world. Conventional research articles are welcome, as are submissions that support research and researchers, a key mission of the CAIS Information Systems and Healthcare Department (Wilson, 2004). We specifically invite submissions in the following areas. Submissions of PCEH Research - Conceptual articles, including those that build on, critique, or replace the working definition of PCEH presented by Wilson (2009) - Review articles assessing the status or trajectory of PCEH research - Application of theories, methods, design principles, and/or practices of user-centered design and other relevant disciplines to the PCEH context - Qualitative and quantitative empirical studies of PCEH - Design research - Case studies - Teaching cases Submissions Supporting PCEH Research and Researchers - Instrument development and adaptation of instruments to the PCEH context - Literature reviews and annotated bibliographies - Tutorials related to PCEH - Panel discussions related to PCEH TIMETABLE - Submit abstract for comment by June 30, 2012 (recommended but not required) - Submit paper by October 1, 2012 - Reviews returned to authors by November 10, 2012 - Revise and resubmit by January 7, 2013* - Final decisions by February 11, 2013* - Special section papers published during March 2013* *Papers that are not revised and returned by January 7, 2013 or are not accepted for publication by February 11, 2013 will be invited to continue in the review process for publication within the Information Systems and Healthcare Department of CAIS. REVIEW PROCESS Papers will have two rounds of peer review by scholars with knowledge of, and interest in, e-health. The first round will provide developmental guidance for improving those papers that show potential to be accepted for the special section. Final selections for the Special Section will be made from the second-round submissions. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions to the special section will be handled outside the CAIS ScholarOne review system. All submissions should be delivered in MSWord format, following APA guidelines. Submit as an email attachment to vancewilson(a)gmail.com. REFERENCES Wilson, E. V. (2004). Editorial statement: Information systems and healthcare department.

Following on the big successes of the previous editions, ISDA'12 serves as a forum for dissemination of state-of-the-art research, development,and implementations of intelligent systems, technologies and useful applications in these two fields. ISDA 2012 welcomes high quality submissions as well as proposals for workshops and special sessions. Keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain. ISDA 2012 will be held in Kochi (Cochin), India which is a major port city on the west coast of India by the Arabian Sea. Heralded as the Queen of Arabian Sea, Kochi was an important spice trading centre on the Arabian Sea coast from the 14th century. Occupied by the Portuguese Empire in 1503, Kochi was the first of the European colonies in India. It remained the main seat of Portuguese India until 1530. The city was later occupied by the Dutch and the British, with the Kingdom of Cochin becoming a princely state. * Topics of interest * ---------------------------- A.
