International Workshop on Hot Topics in Cloud service Scalability
(HotTopiCS 2014)
22 March 2014 Dublin (co-located with ICPE2014)
http://icpe2014.ipd.kit.edu/conference_workshops/hottopics2014/
Motivation
----------
Software services are becoming more and more important and intertwined with
our daily activities. With the growing complexity of software services and
their unpredictably increasing workload, the scalability of these services
becomes more and more critical. A scalable service's implementation can
sustain increasing work or load by consuming more hardware resources, as
well
as releasing hardware resources with decreasing work or load, all while
fulfilling its SLAs.
The focus of this workshop is on service scalability: the mapping between
a service's work and load and its resulting resource consumption. Even more
than performance, scalability is deeply rooted in the service's
architecture
and high-level design. In this workshop, we will look at software service
scalability from different angles. Scalability is relevant in conventional
architectures but even more in cloud computing. Both modelling and
analyses of
scalability or its related properties like elasticity or efficiency as well
as measurements to quantify scalability, elasticity or efficiency are
relevant
topics for the workshop.
Hot Topics in Cloud services Scalability provides a platform for
academics and
industrial practitioners to exchange novel research ideas and current
problems from practice and to identify new and "hot" topics in the field of
software service scalability. As indicated by the co-location with ICPE,
we are particularly interested in work tackling performance- or scalability-
related problems (understood in a very broad sense), but other work related
to the creation and management of scalable service-based cloud applications
(e.g., from an economic perspective) are equally welcome.
Topics
------
Core topics of interest include:
* Scalability, elasticity and efficiency concepts, definitions, metrics and
* modelling
* Scalability patterns and anti-patterns
* Software architectures for scalability
* Design of scalable services
* Quantifying and measuring scalability
* Benchmarking of scalability
* Scalability requirements engineering
* SLAs for scalable services
* Scalability tools
* Scalability case studies
* Scalability for big data
* Scalability for cloud services
Related topics of interest include, especially if there is a clear
connection to
scalability, elasticity and efficiency (but are not limited to) the
following
areas:
* Cloud computing, including economic modelling of them
* Energy efficient computing
* Multi-tenancy
* Workload characterisation and reproducibility
* Mobile services
* Autonomic architectures
* Resource management
* Virtualisation platforms
* Storage architectures
* Network architectures
Submission Format, Publication
Submission
----------
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not
being
considered in another forum. Duplicate submissions will be rejected without
review. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend
the
workshop and present the paper. Only the accepted and presented papers
will be
included in the Workshop Proceedings which will be published by ACM in
the ACM
Digital Library.

Betreff: [AISWorld] CALL FOR CHAPTERS: Consumer Health Informatics
Edited by Nilmini Wickramasinghe, Indrit Troshani and Joseph Tan
Datum: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 01:34:44 +0000
Von: Indrit Troshani <indrit.troshani(a)adelaide.edu.au>

*Call for ChapterS*
*Consumer Health Informatics*
*Edited by*
Nilmini Wickramasinghe, Indrit Troshani and Joseph Tan
To be published by Springer (www.springer.com <http://www.springer.com>)
*Introduction and Background*
Over the last decade, the traditional doctor-patient relationship is
shifting to a more consultative scenario as consumers (as well as their
family members) play an increasingly active role in understanding,
managing and making decisions about their own health conditions.
Further, as many areas across the globe continue to face serious
shortages of medical professionals, there is an inevitable shift towards
helping those needing care to somehow rely on self-help resources and
mechanisms. Information and communications technology (ICT) sits at the
center of these shifts with its rapid growth in automated intelligence
and shared cognitive support mechanisms. Increasingly consumers rely on
IT-enabled applications to access health information, resources and
self-help tools. Today, this phenomenon has generally been termed
Consumer Health Informatics (CHI).
CHI has become a key branch of medical informatics. The CHI field
incorporates key concepts and constructs from various disciplines
including, but not limited to, nursing informatics, public health
informatics, information systems, psychology, health promotion, health
education, library science, healthcare computing and engineering as well
as communication science. Critical to consumer health informatics is a
patient-centric focus. CHI uses technology to support and analyze health
consumers' needs for information, aid users in shared decision-making on
health-related issues, and provide information resources to support
self-care. CHI systems run a wide gamut from personal health records,
health related web sites, smart phone and mobile apps, remote health
monitoring devices, social networking for health-care and smart home
health systems. Research in this growing area strives to study,
recommend, and implement methods for making information conveniently
accessible to consumers. Research and practice also seek to model and
integrate consumers' preferences in the design and development of health
technologies, which may be either independent or interconnected to
clinical systems.
The introduction of ICT into healthcare delivery, and more especially
e-health solutions, are representative of disruptive technologies that
are challenging key traditional relationships within health care,
specifically, provider-patient, provider-provider, payer-patient,
provider-healthcare organization, and patient-policy maker. Consumer
health informatics takes a socio-technical perspective and delves deep
into the underlying complex inter-factorial relationships to help us
fully understand the impacts of the tools, techniques, technologies and
tactics of today's information age on healthcare delivery. Without an
in-depth understanding of all the implications of ICTs on the web of
healthcare players, it is not possible for healthcare delivery to
address the current challenges of escalating costs, changing population
demographics and impacts of key epidemics and chronic diseases
appropriately and still provide a healthcare value proposition of
excellence. Such an understanding must also recognize that healthcare
delivery, to a great extent, is a function of local culture, norms and
practices, which presents both a challenge and opportunity for CHI to
facilitate the realization of value-driven healthcare delivery for all
healthcare systems. To this end, there is a need to know - and, more
specifically, a need for a point of entry resource required for those
engaged in health information systems research and practice to develop,
at minimum, a foundational understanding of CHI.
Not surprisingly, contemporaneous with the growth of consumer health
informatics in practice and research, we are also witnessing a growth in
related courses and degrees, which are beginning to be offered in this
domain, some of which are funded by national health informatics efforts.
These courses vary in breadth and depth of coverage but one unifying
challenge at present is the lack of a comprehensive learning resource
that attempts to capture all the key aspects, challenges, barriers and
facilitators to cumulate a fuller and appropriate understanding of this
unique field.
We believe not only is such a book timely, but it is and will be a key
resource for both the practitioners, students, academics, consultants as
well as the general public given that they are all stakeholders in this
new and evolving area of CHI. Thus, we have embarked upon a journey to
prepare an edited book addressing the new and evolving domain of
consumer health informatics. We invite you to submit a chapter proposal.
*Recommended Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: *
ØConsumer health informatics: definition and scope
ØRelevant theoretical perspectives that should be used to understand the
underlying and deeper issues
ØThe landscape -- overview of challenges, opportunities, threats,
barriers and facilitators
ØRemote monitoring, mobile apps
ØSocial Media and Web 2.0
ØPersonal Health Records
ØArchitecture and Infrastructure requirements (eg SOA and
network-centric and interoperability)
ØDesigning for the consumer (literacy, health beliefs, access, diversity)
ØDesign Methods
ØConnecting with Medical Systems and Healthcare Providers
ØPolicy , Public Health, and Economics
ØQuality control, security and privacy
ØInternational and cross country perspectives
ØCase studies and empirical studies that examine the impact of CHI

Track Description
We are living in a world where many workers, employers and customers
find the highly interactive medium of video games to be as common as
television and film. This poses new challenges for businesses since
their stakeholders are starting to demand an increased level of
interactivity and engagement. This new and exciting area has had analogs
in education and science but few researchers have focused on precisely
how the designs of these systems influence non-game contexts.
Since games are information systems, IS research can aid the development
of these gamified systems; areas of information systems research such as
interface design, system analysis, IS development can inform the use of
game-like systems in businesses. Game design may also inform more
traditional areas of information system research. For instance, recent
work has investigated how business software vendors use gamification to
aid in the adoption and use of enterprise information systems.
This mini-track is designed to provide a forum for researchers how
investigate how game design affects non-game IS development and how
traditional IS research can be used to inform game design and
development. We are interested in a variety of research, including case
studies, empirical lab studies and action research.
Topics of interest include:
- Game Design Thinking
- Video Game Development
- Gamification
- Serious Games
- Pervasive Games
- Game Design Theory
Deadline for submission is March 1^st , 2014. To submit a paper, please
