-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] SOCA 2013 Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 9 May 2013 09:10:58 +0900 (KST) Von: Sung-Soo Lim <sslim(a)kookmin.ac.kr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): sungsoo.lim(a)gmail.com Apologies if you received multiple copies of this SOCA 2013 CFP. -------------------------------------------------------- SOCA 2013 Call for Papers web site: http://conferences.computer.org/soca <http://conferences.computer.org/soca> --------------------------------------------------------- The 6th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications December 16-18, 2013 Kauai, Hawaii Call for Papers Service-oriented computing is considered today a key technology for the development of robust and high quality intelligent distributed and embedded applications. Extensive research and development in the past few years has pushed SOA technology into state-of-the-art application areas such as context-aware, cloud-connected, mobile enterprise systems. However, many of the critical components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric sensor-based SOA systems are still open for research. Hence, it is timely to reexamine SOA research opportunities and identify new research challenges for next generation SOA. One of the future SOA applications is large-scale cyber-physical systems (CPSs) that include deep interactions between cyber-sides and physical-sides through massive sensors, actuators, mobile devices, and computing servers connected by heterogeneous networks. The services of large-scale CPSs have challenging requirements such as accurate timeliness, high reliability, and dynamic adaptability. Many of the service components are deployed on resource limited embedded systems and are performance sensitive; others are deployed on cloud servers providing highly parallel services. Thus, SOA may provide effective solutions for managing the ever-increasing complexity while meeting the challenging requirements of CPS services on largely distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource environments. The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2013) will be held in Kauai, Hawaii, with topics of general service oriented computing and also the focused area of SOA for large-scale CPSs. The conference includes three days of parallel tracks program, special-topic workshops/ tutorials, and panel discussion. We invite submissions of high quality papers describing fully developed results or ongoing work on the topics such as: â?¢Service-oriented architecture, engineering, and applications â?¢Large-scale cyber-physical systems â?¢Intelligent service composition, management and maintenance â?¢Configurable and reconfigurable service middleware â?¢Dependable and trustworthy services â?¢Streaming and real-time data analytics â?¢Mobile service engineering and applications â?¢Security and privacy for intelligent service applications â?¢Context-aware connected embedded computing â?¢Service composition with multi-dimensional QoS â?¢Service networks for smart home, smart transportation, and smart infrastructure â?¢Sustainability issues on large-scale CPS applications Important Dates â?¢Abstract Submission Due: July 16,, 2013 â?¢Paper Submission Due: July 31, 2013 â?¢Acceptance Notification: October 5, 2013 â?¢Camera Ready Submission: October 15, 2013 â?¢Conference and Workshop Program: December 16-18, 2013 Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum.

Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices - such as laptops, iPods, personal digital assistants (PDA), and cellular telephones - have stimulated the development of intelligent pervasive multimedia applications. These key technologies are creating a multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, educational and governmental domains. Yet many challenges remain, especially when it comes to efficiently indexing, mining, querying, searching, retrieving, displaying and interacting with multimedia data. The Multimedia - Processing and Applications 2013 (MMAP 2013) Symposium addresses several themes related to theory and practice within multimedia domain. The enormous interest in multimedia from many activity areas (medicine, entertainment, education) led researchers and industry to make a continuous effort to create new, innovative multimedia algorithms and applications. As a result the conference goal is to bring together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners in order to communicate their newest and original contributions. The key objective of the MMAP conference is to gather results from academia and industry partners working in all subfields of multimedia: content design, development, authoring and evaluation, systems/tools oriented research and development. We are also interested in looking at service architectures, protocols, and standards for multimedia communications - including middleware - along with the related security issues, such as secure multimedia information sharing. Finally, we encourage submissions describing work on novel applications that exploit the unique set of advantages offered by multimedia computing techniques, including home-networked entertainment and games. However, innovative contributions that don't exactly fit into these areas will also be considered because they might be of benefit to conference attendees. *CALL FOR PAPERS* MMAP 2013 is a major forum for researchers and?practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. The MMAP 2013 Symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of multimedia domain ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. MMAP 2013 invites original previously unpublished contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. *TOPICS OF INTEREST* Topics of interest are related to Multimedia Processing and Applications including, but are not limited to the following?areas: Audio, Image and Video Processing Animation, Virtual Reality, 3D and Stereo Imaging Multimedia File Systems and Databases: Indexing, Recognition and Retrieval Machine Learning, Data Mining, Information Retrieval in Multimedia Applications Multimedia in Internet and Web Based Systems: E-Learning, E-Commerce and E-Society Applications Human Computer Interaction and Interfaces in Multimedia Applications Multimedia in Medical Applications Entertainment and games Security in Multimedia Applications: Authentication and Watermarking Distributed Multimedia Systems Network and Operating System Support for Multimedia Mobile Network Architecture Intelligent Multimedia Network Applications *PAPER SUBMISSION, PUBLICATION AND INDEXATION* Authors should submit full papers (as Postscript, PDF, MSWord, or ODF file). The total length of a paper must not exceed 8 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references). IEEE style templates. Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not under review in any other conference or journal (submissions that violate this?requirement will be regarded as self-plagiarism). Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between FedCSIS events. Only papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Xplore? database and submitted for indexation. *Proceedings of the FedCSIS 2012 conference were indexed in the Thomson Reuters - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, where they will also be submitted in 2013.* Furthermore, FedCSIS proceedings will be submitted for indexation to: DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, Inspec, Scirus, and other repositories. Extended versions of selected papers presented?during the conference may be published as Special Issue(s) of journal(s)to be announced later. *IMPORTANT DATES* Paper submission: May 21, 2013 Author notification: June 17, 2013 Final submission and registration opening: July 8, 2013 Conference date: September 8-11, 2013 GENERAL MMAP 2012 CHAIR Dumitru Dan Burdescu, University of Craiova, Romania Steering Committee Ioannis Pitas, University of Thessaloniki, Greece Costin Badica, University of Craiova, Romania Borko Furht, Florida Atlantic University, USA Harald Kosch, University of Passau, Germany Vladimir Uskov, Bradley University, USA Thomas M.

Fwd: [AISWorld] IT-based Service Systems: special issue of IJITSA

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] IT-based Service Systems: special issue of IJITSA Datum: Mon, 6 May 2013 15:09:42 -0500 (CDT) Von: mmora(a)securenym.net An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): frank.stowell(a)port.ac.uk, ijitsa(a)gmail.com, miroljub.kljajic(a)fov.uni-mb.si, ogelman(a)servidor.unam.mx, MRaisinghani(a)mail.twu.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- IJITSA SPECIAL ISSUE IN: Engineering and Management of IT-based Service Systems: A Systems Approach --------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTEXT: The economic relevance of service systems (or service sector in general) in the modern worldwide economy is totally recognized. As Sheenan (2006) reports ?business organizations focused on delivering help, utility, experience, information or other intellectual content ? account for more than 70% of total value added in the OECD?. Thus, service systems and service concept - as opposed to the product concept or the single post-sale business activity - have experienced fundamental changes, and acquired a high-practical business and theoretical relevance. In this special issue, we pursue to advance our scientific knowledge on the processes, methodologies, techniques and tools for engineering and managing IT-based service systems under a Systems Approach. The service-oriented paradigm has permeated several disciplines (Chesbrough and Spohrer, 2006). IT-based service systems can be defined as ?? a value coproduction configuration of people, IT, other internal and external service systems, and shared information (such as language, processes, metrics, prices, policies, and laws.? (adapted from Spohrer et al., 2007). Accordingly, a service can be defined ?in general- as ?? the application of resources (including competences, skills, and knowledge) to make changes that have value for another (system)? (idem, 2007). Service paradigm has been identified as one of the relevant themes for IT in the last decade (Demirkan and Goul, 2006; Rai and Sambamurthy, 2006; Beachboard et al. 2007; Zhao et al. 2008). While models of processes for engineering and managing IT-based service systems (like ITILv2, ITIL v3, CMMI-SVC, CobIT, ITUP, MOF 4, ISO 20000) have been posed, their specific practices are still unclear and few used by most IT practitioners. We consider such a topic to be mandatory to foster a cost-effective and trustworthy engineering and management of IT-based service systems (Buede, 2000). Additionally, since IT-based service systems are also systems (Tien, 2008; Alter, 2008; Mora et al., 2009) their essential and shared attributes for general systems (Ackoff, 1971; Gelman and Garcia, 1989) should be considered. Based on aforementioned issues for systems, service systems, and IT-based systems, we believe that a Systems Approach (Ackoff et al., 1962; Checkland, 2000) and a Systems Engineering view (Sage, 2000; Buede, 2000) can be helpful for this aim. A Systems Approach can be defined as an answering and problem-solving system comprised of: (i) systemic philosophical paradigms (P?s: an ontological, epistemological and axiological stance on the world): (ii) systemic theoretical frameworks (F?s: ideas-constructs, theories, and models); (iii) systemic methodologies (M?s: methods,techniques, and instruments), and (iv) situational areas identified as systems (A?s: natural, artificial or social objects, artifacts and subjects under study). Similarly, a Systems Engineering discipline, can be briefly defined as ?the interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful (cost-efficient and trustworthy) systems?. References upon request. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: This special issue aims to increase our scientific theoretical and applied knowledge on the engineering and management of IT-based service systems from a Systems Approach view. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ?Systems Foundations of IT-based Service Systems ?Determination of the Role of Service Systems in Super-systems such as Economical, Environmental, Social and Political that is making it a Service System ?Definition of Sub-systems that are forming a Service System in order to assure the fulfillment of its Mission and Objectives ?The specificity of the organization and management of the service systems, which assure their productivity as well as their development ?Conceptual comparative studies of ITSM standards and models (ISO 20000, ITIL, CMMI-SVC, ITUP, MOF 4, CobIT) ?Empirical studies on implementations of ITSM standards and models (ISO 20000, ITIL, CMMI-SVC, ITUP, MOF 4, CobIT) ?Applied cases of implemented engineering practices for IT-based Service Systems ?Applied cases of implemented management practices for IT-based Service Systems ?Applied cases in real Data Centers ?Applied cases of adaptations of ITSM Processes for specific SMBs ?Application of IT-based Service Systems in Critical domains (health care, international security, international financial stock markets, green initiatives, gap e-education) ?Classification of IT-based Service Systems ?Value models for IT-based Service Systems (how can it be valued a priori (designs) and a posteriori (evaluations of real systems)) ?Innovative applications of IT-based Service Systems SUBMISSION DUE DATE: June 30, 2013 PUBLISHING DATE: July, 2014 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue Engineering and Management of IT-based Service Systems: a Systems Approach on or before June 30, 2013 to Dr. Manuel Mora (ijitsa(a)gmail.com).

The novel idea behind this paradigm is to leverage social connections and social intelligence in computer systems and applications in order to devise solutions. These social computing applications/systems gather abundance of social information that when mined and analyzed will further enrich their services or help researchers understand many different things including social dynamics of people, wisdom of crowd, social construction and sharing of knowledge, etc. Novel techniques for information analysis, reuse, and integration are critical to make sense of social information. Systematic approaches, design principles, and evaluation strategies need to be researched for developing effective social computing applications. Other challenges in social computing include accommodating privacy, security, and trust expectations of users. The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange ideas on the issues and challenges in social computing systems. We invite research or position papers from researchers and practitioners working in any aspect of social computing. Example topics, but not limited to, include: - Design, Modeling, and Simulation of Socially-aware Technology - Theories, Methods, and Findings in Social Informatics - Reuse/Integration of Social Information/Social Metadata - Integration of Structured/ Unstructured/Semi-structured Social Information - Mining of Social Big Data - Privacy, Territoriality, Security, and Trust Issues in Social Computing Systems - Social Computing for Enterprise - Online Social Gaming & Entertainment - Social media and Gov 2.0 (e-government) - Social Computing Application for Health & Wellness Management - Social Capital & Online Communities - Socially-aware e-Learning Systems - Social Recommendation Systems - Evaluation of Social Computing Systems All contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ACM MEDES 2013: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 6 May 2013 12:48:25 +0200 (CEST) Von: Youakim Badr <youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr> An: medes(a)acm.org * Please distribute widely and accept our apologies for cross-posting * *************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************** International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2013) http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/13/ October 29-31, 2013 Abbey of Neumunster, Luxembourg Description and Objectives --------------------------- In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- In this call, we solicit original research and technical papers not published elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application oriented on the following themes (but not limited to): - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Big Data - Services and Cloud Computing - Emergent Intelligence - Trust, Security & Privacy - Data & Knowledge Management - Web and Standards - Networks and Protocols Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.
