-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - IEEE TETC Special Issue on Big Data Datum: Sat, 13 Jul 2013 17:57:38 +1000 Von: Jinjun Chen <jinjun.chen(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers: IEEE Transaction on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on *Big Data**.* CFP Website: http://www.swinflow.org/si/BigDataCFP.htm. Big Data consists of datasets that grow so large that they become awkward to work with using on-hand computer data and computation management tools. Difficulties include, but are not limited to, capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics, and visualizing. Working with data sets of increasing scale allows analysts to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, and combat crime." Big data size is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time, hence demanding new innovative solutions. It has attracted a high degree of interdisciplinary interest internationally. This special issue is focusing on this new strategic research area to address challenges about big data.Original andunpublished high-quality research results are solicited to explore various challenging topics that include, but are not limited to: ·Big Data theoretical models, standards and theories ·Innovative computer software and hardware architecture for Big Data processing ·Big Data mining, advanced analytics and visualization ·Large big data stream processing ·Large-scale incremental, distributed and federated datasets ·NoSQL data stores and DB scalability ·Big Data sharing and privacy preserving ·Big Data placement, scheduling, and optimization ·MapReduce and new programming models for Big Data processing ·Cloud Computing, cluster and high performance computing and storage infrastructure for Big Data ·Performance characterization, evaluation and optimization ·Simulation and debugging of Big Data systems and tools ·Security, privacy, reliability and trust in Big Data ·Volume, Velocity, Variety and Value of Big Data ·Multiple source data processing and integration for Big Data ·Resource scheduling and Service Level Agreement for Big Data processing ·Distributed file systems, storage and computation management for Big Data ·Large-scale scientific workflow in support of Big Data processing ·Big data applications such as Medicine, Healthcare, Finance, Business, Retailing, Transportation and Science.

CONFERENCE VENUE Istanbul is a city of unparalleled social and cultural richness. It is as fascinating and historical as it is dynamic and modern. Serving as the capital of two mighty empires for sixteen centuries, Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) and Ottoman, and set squarely between two continents, Istanbul has cultures and traditions that blend East with West and Mediterranean with Anatolian. Each civilization that has made Istanbul its home has left its mark in sublime and splendid ways, and the result a city that gives one the feeling of universal history at every step. Istanbul has always been a meeting place, a crosspoint and a destination. With the Ataturk Istanbul International Airport, getting to and from Istanbul has never been easier. With a capacity of far over 25 million travelers per year Istanbul is less than a three-hour flight from most European cities. Istanbul has a second airport located on the Asian side of the city, Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, which is an important arrival point especially for low-cost airlines. Overall, Istanbul is served by more than 50 major airlines to hundreds of cities around the world. -- 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-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] SOCA 2013 Call for Papers (Deadline Extended) Datum: Sat, 13 Jul 2013 11:55:12 +0900 Von: Sung-Soo Lim <sslim(a)kookmin.ac.kr> An: 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 <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 => Extended to Aug. 5, 2013 ?Paper Submission Due: July 31, 2013 => Extended to Aug. 10, 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.

The FSaaS aims to create a logical virtual space, containing references to shared files, whose management layer supports the same functionalities of a file system (basic file operations) but where each single file can have different policies for consistency, synchronization and replication. This work explains the idea at the base of FSaaS, describes in details its main components and their interactions and illustrates two use cases for better explaining the provided functionalities.

Brian Blake (Department of Computer Science, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL, USA) Cloud computing environments provide flexible infrastructures for third-party management of organizations' information technology (IT) assets. With web services being a standard for realizing web-based business capabilities, the emergence of cloud computing will bring new challenges to different web service activities. In this paper, the authors propose an agent-based framework that employs a team of management and monitoring agents on different scopes to provides effective service management in a cloud environment. To tackle the dynamism in service operations, an adaptive monitoring algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is inspired by the congestion control approach from the TCP protocol and provides efficient, up-to-date information about service status without exhaustive monitoring. Experimental results show that the monitoring algorithm provides significant benefits when compared to the more exhaustive methods. This approach also facilitates other service activities, such as cross cloud service discovery.

This tool was initially designed for the medical area of cardiology, which is still controversial in terms of vocabularies. Anontology has been developed as a reference base where those different vocabularies converge. The information supplied by the tool was taken from specialized medical web pages and technical documents. It is a tool of low interference for ongoing activities, so it can be used during a clinical activity. It has been designed according to requirements raised by studies in various medical communities, which pointed the use of Internet during consultations and medical needs for deep information.

It is based on assembling independent and loosely coupled services to build a composed web service. This composition can be described from both a local or a global perspective by respective orchestration or choreography. The validation of web service orchestrations is the main topic of this work. It is based on the verification of two classes of properties: generic and specific properties. The former can be checked for any invoked web services whereas the specific properties are different interdependence relationships between activities within an orchestration process. These properties cannot be directly verified on the orchestration process, so, the authors have to use formal techniques. In this paper, they propose a formal approach for the validation of web service orchestrations. This work adopts WS-BPEL 2.0 as the language to describe the web service orchestration and uses the SPIN model-checker for the verification engine. The WS-BPEL specification is translated into Promela code which is the input language for the SPIN model-checker, in order to check generic and specific properties expressed with LTL (Linear Temporal Logic).

In particular, the software architecture of dynamically adaptive systems must continuously adapt to varying environmental conditions and user requirements. Therefore, they propose a wide range of possible configurations. The static enumeration of all the possible configurations is a difficult task. Moreover, not all dynamic reconfiguration operations can be foreseen at design time. Some reconfigurations may appear when the system is already deployed. In this context, we propose to combine the Architecture Description Languages and the Aspect-Oriented Software Development paradigm in order to make the dynamic reconfiguration process easier to design, understand and possible to validate. Also, this combination allows to easily evolving the reconfiguration policies even at runtime.

Portals are expected to care more about the infrastructure services they consume, which is a key architectural difference between the past and the future generations of portals and represent the paradigm shift in enterprise integration strategy. This paradigm shift focuses on identifying core integration components, assets, enterprise portals and encourages the reuse and refinement of these assets for integration projects. However, these topics are rarely discussed among the practitioners or in the international journals without primarily encouraging use of the solutions from particular vendors. It is important to establish a sounding board (international journal) which provides readers with an independent view of models for enterprise integration strategies, vendor independent tool sets, and the experience with the development of strategic solutions carried out within the context and rules of the enterprise's integration architecture. The readers are expected to benefit from having access to the latest practical solutions, as well as research papers in the field of integration approaches, the review of tools which can effectively and proactively support integration objectives across the enterprise. Coverage of IJWP: Topics to be discussed in this journal include, but are not limited to, the following: Business process integration and management using SOA and portals Case studies for using portals with content management systems Composite Web service in portal frameworks (creation and enabling infrastructure) Customization and portal user interface issues, multilingual portals E-commerce applications based on portals and SOA Evolution of B2E & B2B portals as windows into the enterprise, on demand services in portals Frameworks for building portal applications, development tooling, and development environments (e.g Portlet Factory, NetBean portal plug-in, and other tools) Frameworks for designing SOA solution with portal platforms, models, and modeling tools usage, efficiency, and usability Grid portals Managing development of portals & SOA solutions Mobile portals, mobile portal platform, and content management systems applied to mobile portals Portal architecture, research, and practical issues in portals, including mobile portal initiatives Portal security issues and single sigh-on Resource management in portals, performance issues, and administration issues Semantic Web services & federated portal architectures Web services for remote portlets (WSRP), performance, security, standards, WSRP extensions, and enhancements in UDDI WSRP role in business integration IGI Global is pleased to offer a special Multi-Year Subscription Loyalty Program.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] IUI'2014 - Call for papers Datum: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 10:57:23 +0100 Von: Tintarev, N <n.tintarev(a)abdn.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ----------------------- Call for Papers ------------------------ IUI 2014 19th International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI'2014) Haifa, Israel February 24-27, 2014 http://www.iuiconf.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IUI 2014 is the 19th annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. IUI is where the community of people interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We are very interested in contributions that bridge these two fields and also related fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc. IUI researchers are interested in improving the symbiosis between humans and computers, so that interface design and interactive experiences yield higher performance outcomes. This may involve designing interfaces that incorporate intelligent automated capabilities, if the net impact is a human-computer interaction that improves performance or usability in critical ways. It may also involve designing an interface that effectively leverages human skills and capabilities, so that human performance with an application excels. In other cases, such as educational interface design, it may involve exercising judgment in when not to automate a function so that humans are encouraged to exert themselves as they acquire new skills or domain knowledge. We call for original submissions that describe novel technologies and applications to intelligent user interfaces. IUI topics of interest including, but not limited to: * User input - Processing of multi-modal input - Natural language and speech processing - Gestures, eye gaze, face recognition * Generation of system output - Intelligent visualization tools - Intelligent generation of user-consumable content * Ubiquitous computing - Intelligent interfaces for ubiquitous computing - Smart environments and tangible computing * Help and Persuasive Technologies - Intelligent assistants for complex tasks - Support for collaboration in multiuser environments - Intelligent information and knowledge management - Persuasive technologies in IUI * Personalization - User-adaptivity in interactive systems - Recommender systems - Modeling and prediction of user behavior * AI Techniques in IUI - Planning and plan recognition - Reasoning in interfaces - Knowledge-based systems * Social Computing - Affective, social and aesthetic interfaces - Social networks and collaboration * IUI Design - Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation - Proactive and agent-based paradigms for user interaction - Example-and demonstration-based interfaces * User studies - User studies concerning intelligent interfaces - Evaluations of implemented intelligent user interfaces * Semantic Web - Query interfaces and novel interfaces for Linked Data - Consuming Linked Data - Interfaces for creating and using large ontologies SUBMISSION VENUES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * Full and Short Papers We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. IUI 2014 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for interface design. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contribution. Full papers should make substantial, novel and relevant contributions to the field. Short papers can either contain smaller contributions, novel ground-breaking ideas, or work in progress. Accepted full papers will be invited for oral presentation and short paper either as oral or poster presentation. Abstracts Due: October 4, 2013 Full and Short Papers Due: October 9, 2013 * Demonstrations The demonstrations track complements the overall program of the conference. Demonstrations show implementations of novel, interesting, and important intelligent user interface concepts or systems. We invite submissions relevant to intelligent user interfaces and which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the conference. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages. Submissions Due: December 12, 2013 * Industrial Track The industrial track represents an opportunity for the companies in the field to present their late works (as posters or interactive demos) and receive valuable feedback from the research community. It also provides an opportunity for recruitment and for networking. The industry track will not be peer-reviewed but their relevance for the field will be judged by a jury. Submissions Due: to be confirmed * Student Consortium The IUI 2014 Student Consortium provides an opportunity for Masters and Doctoral students to present and receive feedback about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of mentors, selected from senior people in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their research to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are not so far along their research that they can no longer make changes. Submissions Due: November 1, 2013 * Workshops Workshops will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference topics. Workshop Proposals due: September 16, 2013 ORGANIZATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * General Co-Chairs: - Tsvi Kuflik, The University of Haifa - Oliviero Stock, FBK-irst * Program Co-Chairs: - Joyce Chai, Michigan State University - Antonio Kruger, Saarland University and DFKI GmbH * Treasurer - Melinda Gervasio, SRI International * Industry Chair: - Claudia Goldman, General Motors - Advanced Technical Center - Israel - Doron Friedman, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya - Massimo Zancanaro, FBK ?
