-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] IEEE SOCA 2015 in Rome, Italy - Call-for-Papers Datum: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 06:48:35 +0200 Von: Massimo Mecella <mecella(a)dis.uniroma1.it> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ========================================================================================== 8th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2015) WWW: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~soca2015 E-Mail: soca2015-committee(a)dis.uniroma1.it ========================================================================================== Important Dates ================ Submission of Papers: May 1, 2015 Notification: June 30, 2015 Final Version Due: July 15, 2015 Conference Dates: October 19-21, 2015 Location =========== Rome, Italy Call for Papers =============== Service-oriented computing (SOC) is considered today a key technology for the development of robust and high quality intelligent Internet-scale distributed and embedded applications. Extensive research and development in the past few years has pushed SOC technology into state-of-the-art applications in emerging areas such as Internet-of-Things (IoTs), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), as well as mobile and enterprise systems. However, many of the critical components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric, cloud-based service-oriented architecture applications and systems are still open for research. Hence, it is time to face new service-oriented architecture (SOA) research opportunities by addressing new research challenges on emerging applications domains like smart cities, smart logistics, smart factories and e-Health, to mention only a few. 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 and on edge servers in the middle of resource-limited systems and high-end servers. These components are part of complex applications and systems that span multiple execution environments. Their capabilities are increasingly being managed and (re)configured via emerging software-defined and elasticity mechanisms. In addition, they have to interact with humans in order to solve complex problems. Thus, on the one hand, SOC may provide effective solutions for managing the ever-increasing complexity while meeting the challenging requirements of services on largely distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource environments. On the other hand, the exploitation of emerging trends in such environments to build SOC applications and systems for large-scale service-based systems is an open research challenge. The 2015 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2015) provides an international forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to exchange and share their experiences, ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of service-oriented computing. The conference includes three days of parallel tracks program, special-topic workshops, keynotes and tutorials, and panel discussion. We invite submissions of high quality papers describing fully developed results or ongoing work on the following topics and related areas: - Service-oriented architectures, engineering, and applications - Micro-services and reactive programming - Cloud-based systems - Cyber-physical systems - SOC-based things, processes and people integration - SOC-based business process and workflow management - Elasticity-aware service composition - Configurable, reconfigurable and software-defined service middleware - Streaming and real-time data analytics in SOC-based systems - Mobile service engineering and applications - Context-aware computing for SOC - Service ecosystems for large-scale SOC - SOCA development, deployment and testing tools for smart applications (cities, transportation systems, factories, homes and offices, etc.) - Security and privacy for intelligent service applications - End-to-end dependable and trustworthy services - Business services and service innovation in emerging environments - Big data services, including big data analytics applied to service computing and service-based computing for big data analytics - Green and energy-aware SOC, SOC applied to green and energy-aware applications and computing Paper Submission ================ Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers in any of the areas listed in the Call for Papers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] HICSS49 Minitrack | Big, Open, Linked Data (BOLD), Analytics, and Interoperability Infrastructures in eGovernment Datum: Sun, 19 Apr 2015 18:37:16 +0000 Von: Marijn Janssen - TBM <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> An: Marijn Janssen - TBM <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> CFP: Big, Open, Linked Data (BOLD), Analytics, and Interoperability Infrastructures in Government Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 49, January 5-8, 2016 Kauai, Hawaii, USA http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/ Part of the Electronic Government Track at HICSS-49 http://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/hicss49/Welcome.html Conference Location: Grand Hyatt, Kauai, HI, USA Conference Dates: January 5 to 8, 2016 Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2015 (non-negotiable) The HICSS e-Government track has been a hotbed for groundbreaking studies and new ideas in this particular research domain. Many studies first presented here were developed further and then turned into publications at top journals. Eleven minitracks cover the full spectrum of research avenues of electronic government including minitracks dedicated to emerging topics, open government, and social media and social networking, or most recently, insider threats. The public sector is information-rich by nature. The opening of data by public organizations is a recent phenomenon in which public sector information is made available and thus can be combined with other data sources and used by others for a variety of purposes including improving the public sector, business innovation and transparency. As data can often be generated and provided in huge amounts and through multiple sources, specific needs for processing, curation, linking, visualization result in the need for big data and linked data approaches. Data pipelines are created in which data is in real-time combined for creating new applications and changing user behaviors. Cloud services are now changing the ways of providing and using ICT, based on virtualized resources meeting requirements like security, privacy and scalability. Clouds provide the opportunity to share resources and services. This requires both infrastructure for the opening, processing and visualization of data, organization readiness for making use of these data and innovative ideas. Although there is a huge potential how this should be accomplished and what the impact of public organizations is not understood. All these developments impact the operation of governments, their relationship with the private sector enterprises and the society and there are changes at the technical, organizational, managerial and political level impacting the capabilities needed, the making of policies and traditional institutional structures. This minitrack is aimed at discussing theories, methodologies, experience reports, literature and case studies in the field of Big, Open and Linked Data in Government. We solicit for papers covering both organizational and technical aspects and combining theory and practice. Papers covering a multitude of aspects are strongly encouraged. Furthermore we promote a diversity of research methods to study the challenges of this multifaceted discipline including best practices, case studies, design approaches, literature reviews and interviews. Minitrack topics include, but are not limited to: * Impact of BOLD on government and society on the technical, organizational and institutional level * Organizational strategies and policy for BOLD, esp. privacy and security * Changing relationship between government, private organizations and society * Methods and technologies leading to enhanced digital public services * Big data innovations, applications and other approaches utilizing huge amounts of data * Linked data, metadata and semantic approaches * Interoperability and architectural standards, principles and frameworks * Technical, semantic, organizational, managerial and legal/policy aspects of interoperability * System development, implementation and agile approaches for digital public services * System, user, data and process-based integration * Information and cloud infrastructures, shared services, cloud providers * Reuse and data quality and ownership * Semantic ontologies, web services and modeling for governmental infrastructures * Cloud computing, Software as service (SaaS), ICT-services, scalability, reliability, flexibility * Multi-sided platforms, interoperability, information sharing and business models * Cross-organizational modeling and visualization ranging from the organizational to technical level * Service-oriented architectures, web services, semantic web services, orchestration and composition * Citizen-driven and entrepreneurial approaches based on Open Data * BOLD adoption and success factors MINI-TRACK CHAIRS * Marijn Janssen * Yannis Charalabidis * Helmut Krcmar More info: http://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/hicss49/BOLD.php ABOUT HICSS CONFERENCES Now in its 49th year, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) is one of the longest-standing continuously running scientific conferences.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP SHCIS'15 - 2nd Workshop on Security in highly connected IT systems Datum: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 23:29:14 +0200 Von: Rolf Schillinger <rolf.schillinger(a)bayforsec.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] SHCIS 15 2nd Workshop on Security in highly connected IT systems Held in conjunction with 20th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security- ESORICS 2015 Vienna, Austria, September 21-25, 2015 (http://esorics2015.sba-research.org/) (Online version of this call is available at https://www.bayforsec.de/shcis15/) Modern society over the course of the past two decades developed an increasing dependency on their infrastructures in general, and on the availability and correct functionality of their IT systems in particular. While in the early days of the Internet revolution not many IT systems outside the academic world were directly connected to the Internet, the benefits of internetworking began to prevail by the end of the last millennium. Nowadays, all kinds of IT systems, from industrial control systems to nationwide sensor networks, from high-traffic business platforms to e-health applications, are connected to the Internet and thus directly connected to each other. Such highly connected IT systems exhibit their very own peculiarities and need to be studied accordingly. In this context, SHCIS15 aims to bring together IT security researchers and practitioners active in the field of highly-connected IT-systems, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects. The focus of the workshop is on diffusion of early and ongoing work, with large room being devoted to presentations of PhD students active in this field and large scale national and international research projects. Suggested topics are aligned along a cyclic IT security process for highly connected IT systems, consisting of the phases Preventive measures against attacks, Defense against ongoing attacks, and Forensics and post-mortem Examination of relevant IT-security incidents. The workshop is organized by the Bavarian Research Alliance FORSEC with focus on the security of highly connected IT-Systems (https://www.bayforsec.de). Suggested topics should be closely related to highly-connected IT-systems and include, but are not limited to: - Secure distributed architectures - Secure mobile architectures - Secure embedded systems - Security in sensor networks - Secure cloud computing - Code obfuscation - Security economics - Identity and access management - Privacy - Online trust in large-scale systems - Human factors in security and privacy - Digital forensics - Security through virtualization - Security in virtualized environments - Security in mobile computing - Detection of security related anomalies Relevant application areas include, but are not limited to: - Virtualization platforms - Smart grids, smart cities - Social networks - Big data applications - Cloud services - Business applications - Transport and logistics - E-Commerce Workshop chairs Günther Pernul, Guido Schryen, Rolf Schillinger Bavarian Research Alliance FORSEC Security of highly-connected IT-Systems Submission Guideline Authors are invited to publish original and unpublished research that is not currently in a review process for other workshops, conferences or journals.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: 7th Workshop on Formal Ontologies meet Industry (FOMI 2015) DEADLINE EXTENDED Datum: Tue, 14 Apr 2015 17:15:43 +0200 Von: roberta.ferrario(a)cnr.it An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org PLEASE NOTICE: Due to many requests, the submission deadline has been extended to May 1st CALL FOR PAPER 7th Workshop on FORMAL ONTOLOGIES MEET INDUSTRY (FOMI 2015) =========================================================== 5. August 2015, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Berlin, Germany http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/fomi2015/ FOMI is an international forum where academic researchers and industrial practitioners meet to analyse and discuss application issues related to methods, theories, tools and applications based on formal ontologies. Today there is wide agreement that knowledge modelling and the semantic dimension of information plays an increasingly central role in the networked economy: semantic-based applications aim to provide a framework for information and knowledge sharing, reliable information exchange, meaning negotiation and coordination between distinct organizations or among members of the same organization. Often, theoretical ideas seem very promising but their actual implementation brings up unexpected problems and issues. The FOMI 2015 Workshop aims to discuss problems, solutions, perspectives and research directions for both researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers or project descriptions that are aimed at applying formal ontologies in industry. In particular: - theoretical studies on formal ontologies committed to provide sound bases for industrial applications and to allow formal representation of corporate knowledge; - business experiences on case studies that single out concrete problems and possible solutions; the experience analysis should provide useful insights on social or strategic aspects that might be relevant in the creation and deployment of formal ontologies as well as useful criteria or methods to evaluate ontologies and their effectiveness in applications. Conference Topics ----------------- The following is not an exhaustive list. Problems in ontology application: - practical issues in using ontologies in the enterprise -real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business - from legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems - ontology evaluation - ontology for learning organizations - ontology for business processes and practices - enterprise modeling and business models - ontology for service science and service values Ontology and knowledge management: - ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management - adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations - ontology interoperability - ontology development and change within organizations - ontology effectiveness and evaluation - ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities, design, processes - ontologies for the know-how - ontologies for corporate knowledge - linguistic representation in organizational knowledge - ontology based content creation Ontology in practice: - ontologies for electronic catalogues, e-commerce, e-government - ontologies for marketing - ontologies for finance - ontologies for medical sciences - ontologies for engineering - ontologies for public administration - copyright and privacy issues in ontology based systems Submissions and important dates ------------------------------- The papers should be submitted to EasyChair Deadline for paper submissions: 1 May (Extended deadline) Notification of acceptance: 10 May, 2015 Camera ready submission: 25 May 2015 Workshop: 5 August 2015 Submission guidelines --------------------- The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer’s LNBIP series.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: IEEE TETC SI on "Methods and Techniques for Processing Streaming Big Data in Datacentre Clouds" Datum: Mon, 13 Apr 2015 04:55:21 +0000 Von: Deepak Puthal <Deepak.Puthal(a)student.uts.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing Special Issue on "Methods and Techniques for Processing Streaming Big Data in Datacentre Clouds" http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetcsi_mtpsb… IMPORTANT DATES *************************** Submission Deadline: June 1 2015 Reviews Completed: September 1 2015 Major Revisions Due (if Needed): October 1 2015 Reviews of Revisions Completed (if Needed): November 1 2015 Minor Revisions Due (if Needed): December 1 2015 Notification of Final Acceptance: February 1 2016 Publication Materials for Final Manuscripts Due: March 1 2016 Publication date: Second Issue 2016 (June Issue) DETAILS ABOUT THE ISSUE *************************** Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that has gained a significant interest from both academia and industry. IoT is a part of Future Internet and comprises many billions of Internet connected Objects (ICOs) or ‘things’ where things can sense, communicate, compute and potentially actuate as well as have intelligence, multi-modal interfaces, physical/ virtual identities and attributes. ICOs can include sensors, RFIDs, social media, actuators (such as machines/equipments fitted with sensors and deployed for mining, oil exploration, and manufacturing operations) as well as lab instruments (e.g., high energy physics synchrotron), and smart consumer appliances (smart TV, smart phone, etc.). This IoT vision has recently given rise to the notion of IoT big data applications that are capable of producing billions of data stream and tens of years of historical data to provide the knowledge required to support timely decision making. Some of the emerging IoT big data applications, e.g. smart energy grids, syndromic bio-surveillance, environmental monitoring, emergency situation awareness, digital agriculture, and smart manufacturing, need to process and manage massive, streaming, and multi-dimensional (from multiple sources) data from geographically distributed data sources. Despite recent technological advances of the data-intensive computing paradigms (e.g. the MapReduce paradigm, workflow technologies, stream processing engines, distributed machine learning frameworks) and datacentre clouds, large-scale reliable system-level software for IoT big data applications are yet to become commonplace. As new diverse IoT applications begin to emerge, there is a need for optimized techniques to distribute processing of the streaming data produced by such applications across multiple datacentres that combine multiple, independent, and geographically distributed software and hardware resources. However, the capability of existing data-intensive computing paradigms is limited in many important aspects such as: (i) they can only process data on compute and storage resources within a centralised local area network, e.g., a single cluster within a datacentre. This leads to unsatisfied Quality of Service (QoS) in terms of timeliness of decision making, resource availability, data availability, etc. as application demands increase; (ii) they do not provide mechanisms to seamlessly integrate data spread across multiple distributed heterogeneous data sources (ICOs); (iii) lack support for rapid formulation of intuitive queries over streaming data based on general purpose concepts, vocabularies and data discovery; and (iv) they do not provide any decision making support for selecting optimal data mining and machine algorithms, data application programming frameworks, and NoSQL database systems based on nature of the big data (volume, variety, and velocity). Furthermore, adoption of existing datacentre cloud platform for hosting IoT applications is yet to be realised due to lack of techniques and software frameworks that can guarantee QoS under uncertain big data application behaviours (data arrival rate, number of data sources, decision making urgency, etc.), unpredictable datacentre resource conditions (failures, availability, malfunction, etc.) and capacity demands (bandwidth, memory, storage, and C PU cycles). It is clear that existing data intensive computing paradigms and related datacentre cloud resource provisioning techniques fall short of the IoT big data challenge or do not exist. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Programming abstractions for extedmding existing data intensive computing paradigms to multiple datacentres * Technical foundations for selection of data mining and machine learning algorithms Streaming data query and indexing systems based on semantic web concepts * IoT big data application specific ontology models for capturing heterogeneous data from multiple sources * Decentralised data flow optimisation and management techniques across multiple datacentres * Techniques for petabyte efficient no-SQL query-based IoT big data processing * QoS optimized parallel data analytic techniques beyond traditional relational database systems * Knowledge driven, predictive datacentre resource allocation and provisioning for streaming data * Innovative IoT big data application use cases * Techniques for providing a secure end-to-end connection between users and data sources SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *************************** Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.
