-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for papers: PETRA 2013: Workshop on Interactive Multimedia Technologies to Support Vulnerable People Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 11:05:56 -0000 From: Brian Gannon <brian.gannon(a)vesime.com> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *The 6th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments -- PETRA 2013, Rhodes, Greece, May 29 -- 31, 2013* *http://www.petrae.org/* ** *Workshop on Interactive Multimedia Technologies to Support Vulnerable People* ** *Theme and Goals* The VERVE workshop seeks to generate dialogue and debate on the use of interactive multimedia technology to support vulnerable people in everyday environments. The workshop builds on the growing use of serious games in many aspects of modern life such as defence and education, and in particular its increasing use in healthcare settings. The intent of such technology is to improve the quality of life for disadvantaged groups including older people and those with neurological disorders, taking into account cognitive, emotional, and behavioural aspects of the person. Of particular interest is the use of serious games to help in everyday activities outside the home, for example when shopping or being in crowded situations. We are also interested in understanding the use of interactive multimedia technology to help those at risk of social exclusion, as well as their careers, families, health professionals and relevant support organisations, and to solicit ideas and feedback. *Topics of Interest* We invite papers about research in and application of interactive multimedia technologies that provide support to elderly or vulnerable people. Such tools could help sufferers from Parkinson's disease, or those suffering from apathy related to cognitive decline and behavioural disturbances, for example due to Alzheimer's disease. Although focusing on these areas initially, the workshop encourages submissions on the use of interactive multimedia technologies in a much wider range of healthcare settings. Topics addressed include: - Technology acceptance by the elderly and those suffering from anxiety-related disorder - Gaming technology as a therapeutic capability - The use of virtual agents as assistants in health care and therapy - The use of games to provide support and information to carers and family members - Human computer confluences applied to health - Technologies linked to pervasive computing, health science and human neuroscience - Methods for measuring the effects and benefits of serious games in healthcare settings - Use of game technology to develop physical and cognitive improvement in patients - The use of gaming technology as a means of social inclusion for vulnerable adults *Important Dates* *Paper Submission Deadline: March 01, 2013* ** *Acceptance Notice: March 15, 2013* *Workshop Chairs* ** Brian Gannon b.gannon(a)kainos.com <mailto:b.gannon@kainos.com>, Kainos and Birkbeck College, University of London Catherine Pelachaud catherine.pelachaud(a)telecom-paristech.fr <mailto:catherine.pelachaud@telecom-paristech.fr>, CNRS, Institut Mines Telecom - Telecom-ParisTech Isabelle Viaud-Delmon isabelle.viaud-delmon(a)ircam.fr <mailto:isabelle.viaud-delmon@ircam.fr>, CNRS, IRCAM *Submission Information* Submissions should be in ACM style format and will be accepted as either full paper (8 pages) or short paper (4 pages).

Therefore, we see a new class of Enterprise Systems which address the need for more agility in the entire value chain with a loosely coupled system of distinct elements, orchestrated to a highly integrated, complex Information System (Very Large Business Applications, VLBA). VLBA act as enabler for intra- and interorganisational business processes and play a significant role in the development of new business models. This Mini-Track aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potential of VLBA to solve integration and coordination problems in distributed business processes as a key enabler of flexible boundaryless information systems. Key research questions are: - how to represent VLBA in service-based information systems by employing and adapting constructs, models, and methods of different information systems technology stacks, - how to coordinate software services by employing and adapting approaches for service discovery and composition, - how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based services (SLA), - how to control the delivery of software-based services in VLBA by measuring efficiency and effectiveness? SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following: - Cloud Computing and VLBA - VLBA Operations Management - Strategic, tactic and operative Systems Landscape Engineering - VLBA Business Simulations - VLBA Business Models - Analytical Business Process Engineering for VLBA - VLBA and Knowledge Management - VLBA security issues - Innovative VLBA Applications We invite contributions from different disciplines including information systems, information management, computer and management science to properly cover all facets of Very Large Business Applications. We encourage papers applying quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science.

Reducing the energy consumption of such devices will not only improve the carbon footprint of contemporary mobile IT usage, but will also extend the device lifetime, improve user acceptance and reduce operational costs. Next to to serious and ongoing efforts in hardware design and on operating system level, software engineering techniques will also contribute to optimize energy consumption by improving software design and software quality. The EASED@BIUS workshop, which follows up the Workshop on Developing Energy Aware Software Systems (EEbS 2012) (http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/medien/mobile-media/eebs-2012.html), held at the annual GI Conference in September 2012, provides a broad forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss ongoing work, latest results and common topics of interest regarding the improvement of software induced energy consumption. Intensive discussions at the first workshop identified a major challenge in optimizing energy efficiency, which is to precisely measure energy consumption of software, regarding user behavior. Thus, the follow workshop EASED@BUIS will focus on the following topics: - approaches and techniques to estimate or measure the energy consumption of software components, - approaches to define standardized application scenarios on mobile devices to provide repeatable measurement of energy consumption in concrete application settings, - approaches to model the energy consumption of software components, and - experiences on measuring and improving the energy consumption of software components. Well elaborated and standardized measurement means will provide an important foundation to detecting sources of wasting energy caused by software systems and will enable validation means to verify energy savings by software improvements. EASED@BUIS will be organized as a one day discussion-intensive workshop to provoke intensive collaborations among the participants. It is intended to initiate collaborative works on standardizing (static and dynamic) measuring techniques for energy consumption. To further stimulate these discussions, authors are invited to submit position papers on the workshop´s topics. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and will be published in Softwaretechnik-Trends (http://pi.informatik.uni-siegen.de/stt/).

It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access provides. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice. Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers. An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission of the final manuscript.
