The traditional approach to reporting is no longer adequate. Instead users now demand easy-to-use intelligent platforms and applications capable of analyzing real-time data to provide insight and actionable information at the right time. The end goal is to support better and timelier decision making, enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high quality information. Although there has been progress in this direction and many companies are introducing products towards meeting this goal, there is still a long way to go. In particular, the whole lifecycle of business intelligence requires innovative techniques and methodologies capable of dealing with the requirements imposed by these new generation of BI applications. From the capture of real-time business data to the transformation and delivery of actionable information, all the stages of the Business Intelligence (BI) cycle call for new algorithms and paradigms to support value-added functionalities. These functionalities include dynamic integration of real-time data feeds from operational sources, optimization and evolution of ETL transformations and analytical models, and dynamic generation of adaptive real-time dashboards, just to name a few. The series of BIRTE workshops, starting in 2006, have always been held in conjunction with VLDB. The series aims to provide a forum to discuss topics related to this emerging field and set research directions towards making business intelligence more real-time. Following the success of previous BIRTE editions (2006, 2008-2012) submissions for research, industrial and position papers on relevant topics are encouraged.

Fwd: [WI] Workshop "MoRoCo - Models and their Role in Collaboration" at ECSCW 2013, 2nd Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 04 Jun '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Workshop "MoRoCo - Models and their Role in Collaboration" at ECSCW 2013, 2nd Call for Papers Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:20:15 +0200 From: Michael Prilla <michael.prilla(a)rub.de> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Papers: Workshop "MoRoCo - Models and their Role in Collaboration" at ECSCW 2013 http://moroco2013.wordpress.com ---Organizers--- Alexander Nolte, Michael Prilla; University of Bochum, Germany Peter Rittgen; BorÂs University, Sweden Stefan Oppl; Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria ---Workshop Content--- Using visual representations of work or business processes can be considered a common practice in modern organizations. These models serve a large variety of different purposes such as documentation of current practices, or informing and planning change or software development. Given the nature of work and businesses they reflect it is reasonable to develop and use them collaboratively. There are, however, also many downsides to collaborative model usage and development in current practice. Among others, models are often not fully understood and are thus not used by people who work in the processes the models represent, resulting in limited impact of process redesigns on everyday work. Furthermore, only a minority of people within organizations actually use, even though they have been proven to be very useful especially for collaborative work. Given the increasing popularity of models in organizations, understanding and defining their role in collaboration is of vital interest for the CSCW community and therefore this workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners and forming a community for research in this area. In this workshop we want to bring together researchers, lecturers and practitioners from different fields, who are interested in the collaborative usage and development and sustainment of structured visual representations such as process models, conceptual models or mind maps. This includes experiences from empirical case studies, teaching and the introduction of models and modeling into organizations. Furthermore the workshop also welcomes contributions describing research upon understanding the way models are used in organizations, coupled with activities and artifacts of everyday work and their role in collaborative work. The workshop will also host a special demo track where systems supporting collaboration on and with models can be presented. ---Topics--- The overall goal of the workshop is to build a large picture of research on the role that models play in collaborative work including their usage and sustainment as well as their development in order to set up a common research agenda among the participants. The topics of the workshop thus include but are not restricted to: - The process of cooperative modeling: design cycles, model negotiation, view integration, roles of participants in modeling, team organization, etc. - Sustaining model usage and maintenance in organizations - Motivating involvement and active usage of models - Involving non-experts in model development and usage - Increasing the range of involvement: from core stakeholders to all stakeholders - Coupling models with activities and entities of work - Roles of models for collaboration e.g. guides / maps - Models as instruments for consensus building - The role of models in spanning inter or intra organizational boundaries - Integrating visual modeling and model dialogues in natural language - ìMetaî-modeling: structuring the dialogue around models - Access to models: Creating a model friendly cooperation environment - Alignment of different understandings about collaborative work during modeling - Empirical evidence for positive effects of modeling and model use ---Submission--- We will accept contributions in two different formats: - Research papers such as reports of empirical studies, research in progress and position papers which may not exceed 8 pages. - Demo papers describing systems for collaboration on and with models which may not exceed 3 pages. As there will be a special track during the workshop upon these systems we expect you to bring your system or a poster to the workshop. All contributions have to be formatted according to the ECSCW formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=moroco2013). Author kits and paper templates are available at the ECSCW website (http://www.ecscw2013.org). The selection process will be a double blind review through an international program committee. All accepted paper will be published electronically at CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Means for further publications of the results are currently in the planning and will be reported on the workshop website once agreements with journal editors have been reached. The papers of the previous workshop on "Collaborative usage and development of models and visualization" at ECSCW 2011 are available online at http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/Vol-777/. Selected papers from the workshop will be published in the next few months in a special issue of the International Journal for eCollaboration.

ECSCW is a bi-annual, international conference series. Since 1989, it has engaged researchers and scholars from academia and industry with high quality presentations and intense discussions (www.ecscw.org). ECSCW is interested in cooperative settings in the workplace, in everyday life, and the civic society, and across boundaries between these spheres of life. Submissions should address the unfolding practices of everyday work and life, and the application of computing technologies in these practices. Papers may also focus on design of such technologies or on historical accounts of use. With design is meant processes, methods, and outcoming artifacts. ECSCW solicits reports reflecting a rich variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including field studies and participatory approaches. -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] SOCA 2013 Call for Papers Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2013 21:17:59 +0900 From: Sung-Soo Lim <sslim(a)kookmin.ac.kr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Apologies if you received multiple copies of this SOCA 2013 CFP. -------------------------------------------------------- SOCA 2013 Call for Papers web site: 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: ?Service-oriented architecture, engineering, and applications ?Large-scale cyber-physical systems ?Intelligent service composition, management and maintenance ?Configurable and reconfigurable service middleware ?Dependable and trustworthy services ?Streaming and real-time data analytics ?Mobile service engineering and applications ?Security and privacy for intelligent service applications ?Context-aware connected embedded computing ?Service composition with multi-dimensional QoS ?Service networks for smart home, smart transportation, and smart infrastructure ?Sustainability issues on large-scale CPS applications Important Dates ?Abstract Submission Due: July 16,, 2013 ?Paper Submission Due: July 31, 2013 ?Acceptance Notification: October 5, 2013 ?Camera Ready Submission: October 15, 2013 ?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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] 3rd CfP: Workshop on Mining Ubiquitous and Social Environments (MUSE) @ ECML/PKDD 2013 Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:40:36 +0200 From: Martin Atzmueller <atzmueller(a)cs.uni-kassel.de> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, kdml(a)cs.uni-kassel.de, fg-db(a)informatik.uni-rostock.de, ak-kd-list(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de ** Please forward to anyone who might be interested ** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS for the 4th International ECML/PKDD 2013 Workshop on *MINING UBIQUITOUS AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS* (MUSE 2013) http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ws/muse2013 September 23, 2013 - Prague, Czech Republic *** Abstract submission: June 21st, 2013 *** *** Paper submission deadline: June 28th, 2013 *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The emergence of ubiquitous computing has started to create new environments consisting of small, heterogeneous, and distributed devices that foster the social interaction of users in several dimensions. Additionally, the upcoming social semantic web also integrates the user interactions in social networking environments. Mining in ubiquitous and social environments is thus an emerging area of research focusing on advanced systems for data mining in such distributed and network-organized systems. It also integrates some related technologies such as activity recognition, Web 2.0 mining, privacy issues and privacy-preserving mining, predicting user behavior, etc. In typical ubiquitous settings, the mining system can be implemented inside the small devices and sometimes on central servers, for real-time applications, similar to common mining approaches. However, the characteristics of ubiquitous and social mining are in general quite different from the current mainstream data mining and machine learning. Unlike in traditional data mining scenarios, data does not emerge from a small number of (heterogeneous) data sources, but potentially from hundreds to millions of different sources. As there is only minimal coordination, these sources can overlap or diverge in any possible way. Steps into this new and exciting application area are the analysis of this new data, the adaptation of well known data mining and machine learning algorithms and finally the development of new algorithms. GOALS AND AUDIENCE ================== The goal of this workshop is to promote an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working in the fields of ubiquitous computing, mobile sensing, social semantic web, Web 2.0, and social networks which are interested in utilizing data mining in an ubiquitous setting. The workshop seeks for contributions applying state-of-the-art mining algorithms on ubiquitous and social data. Papers focusing on the intersection of the two fields are especially welcome. In short, we want to accelerate the process of identifying the power of advanced data mining operating on data collected in ubiquitous and social environments, as well as the process of advancing data mining through lessons learned in analyzing these new data. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The topics of the workshop are split roughly into four areas which include, but are not limited to the following topics: Ubiquitous Mining: * Analysis of data from sensors and mobile devices * Resource-aware algorithms for distributed mining * Scalable and distributed classification, prediction, and clustering algorithms * Activity recognition * Mining continuous streams and ubiquitous data * Online methods for mining temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal data * Combining data from different sources * Sensor data preprocessing, transformation, and space-time sampling techniques Mining Social Data: * Analysis of social networks and social media * Mining techniques for social networks and social media * Algorithms for inferring semantics and meaning from social data * Privacy and security issues in social data * Social networks for the collaboration of large communities * Modeling social behavior * Dynamics and evolution patterns of social networks * Link prediction Ubiquitous and Social Mining * Personalization and recommendation * User models and predicting user behavior * User profiling in ubiquitous and social environments * Network analysis of social systems * Discovering social structures and communities * Analysis of data from crowd-sourcing approaches * Group formation and evolution * Mobility Mining Applications: * Discovering misuse and fraud * Usage and presentation interfaces for mining and data collection * Analysis of social and ubiquitous games * Privacy challenges in ubiquitous and social applications * Recommenders in ubiquitous and social environments * Applications of any of the above methods and technologies We also encourage submissions which relate research results from other areas to the workshop topics.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Participation: 2nd Workshop on the Verification of Model Transformation Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 06:22:52 +0000 From: Wimmer Manuel <wimmer(a)big.tuwien.ac.at> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> VOLT 2013 2nd Workshop on the Verification of Model Transformation Co-located with STAF 2013 http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/giese/events/2013/volt/ Budapest, Hungary June 17, 2013 *** Workshop Aim and Scope *** Model transformations are everywhere in software development. They have been described as the “heart and soul of Model-Driven Development (MDD)”. It is generally accepted that MDD is a very promising means for raising the level of abstraction of current software development techniques, while making it more reliable, efficient, safe and cost-effective. Several experts have identified the verification of model transformations as one of the grand challenges of the domain. Despite some recent activity in the field, the work on the verification of model transformations remains scattered and a clear perspective on the subject is still not in sight. Furthermore, current model transformation tools lack verification techniques to support such activities. The Second International Workshop on the Verification Of modeL Transformation (VOLT 2013) is one of the most accurate venues to offer researchers a dedicated forum to classify, discuss, propose, and advance verification techniques dedicated to model transformations. VOLT 2013 promotes discussions between theoreticians and practitioners from academy and industry, given its ideal co-location with STAF and in particular ICMT. VOLT’s interest spans both to academic and industrial practices. *** Program *** Keynote: - Holger Giese: The Quest for Automated Formal Verification of Model Transformations Long Presentations: - Levi Lucio and Hans Vangheluwe: Model Transformations to Verify Model Transformations - Sebastian Gabmeyer, Petra Brosch, and Martina Seidl: A Classification of Software Model Verification Approaches Short Presentations: - Loli Burgueño, Manuel Wimmer, Javier Troya, and Antonio Vallecillo: On the Realization of TractsTool - Tihamer Levendovszky, István Madari, and Janos Sztipanovits: Validating Transformations for Semantic Anchoring Group Discussions: - This year we would like to introduce a dedicated group discussion session on major research challenges ahead in which we, as a community, discuss the next necessary steps and possible collaborations to make substantial progress in the field of model transformation verification.
