-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - Information Systems Frontiers Special Issue - COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS Datum: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 12:22:15 -0500 Von: Vijayan Sugumaran <sugumara(a)oakland.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers - Information Systems Frontiers journal. SPECIAL ISSUE ON: COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Computational Intelligence (CI) is an offshoot of artificial intelligence and has various tools such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, belief networks and chaos theory. Many hybrid models have also been proposed. Today, Computational Intelligence has emerged from the fusion of the fields of granular computing, neuro-computing and evolutionary computing and becomes one of the most active research areas and widely used techniques in information science and engineering. It has been claimed that computational intelligence is the way of the future computing. Historically, the areas of interest covered by computational intelligence are also known under the term soft computing. Computational intelligence research has become a vital part in the research of various fields like mathematics, physics, aerospace, biochemistry, stock-market, electronic devices and different other domains. It is widely recognized that research in this area will lead to the development of excellent intelligent systems in different domains. A survey on the growth analysis of an industry/organization also underpins the truth that CI approaches and optimization algorithms pave the way for effective design, and implementation of business applications and successful integration of business disciplines. The CI paradigms applied to big data analytics and business intelligence systems is receiving much attention in recently published journals and related reports. In addition, hybridization of CI techniques such as neuro fuzzy approaches, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, rough sets can be incorporated to handle uncertainty and subjective vagueness during decision making procedures. It is worth noting that the fusion of CI approaches and optimization techniques have not been adequately investigated from the perspective of big data analytics, and business intelligence. With this perspective, this special issue has been designed to bring the cutting-edge research in all aspects of computational intelligence and applications including experimental and theoretical research, applied techniques and real-world applications to the entire society to promote research, sharing and development. TOPICS: This special issue solicits the submission of high quality research papers concerning (but are not limited to) the following areas: . Computational intelligence, analytical modeling, and simulation for big data analytics . Computational intelligence in cloud based computing . Data analytical approaches using Computational Methods . Computational Methods in Context Aware Web Systems . Computational Methods in Language and Communication . Computational intelligence applications for Business Intelligence and decision making . Assistive Models of Web Services using Computational Methods . Brain Models and Cognitive Science . Self-healing, Self-configuring Systems . Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic and Applications . Evolutionary Computation . Computational intelligence systems in energy management, smart grids, mobile networks, internet of things, sensor networks, transportation systems, etc. . Computational models on Health Care . Hybrid Learning, Machine Learning Applications . Domain specific applications of Computational Intelligence We invite high quality research papers which neither have been published previously nor under consideration currently for publication in any other journal or conference. Survey papers with superior quality are also invited in this area. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION Paper submissions must conform to the format guidelines of Information Systems Frontiers available at: http://www.springer.com/business/business+information+systems/journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] PoPETs 2016 call for participation Datum: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 08:09:05 -0500 (EST) Von: Tariq Elahi <mtelahi(a)uwaterloo.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [Apologies to those who receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS - PoPeTs 2016, Issue 4 / PETS 2016 The deadline for PoPETs 2016, Issue 4 is less than one month away: February 29, 2016. PoPETs/PETS now has 4 deadlines a year; submit whenever you feel ready! Read the CFP below for more details on our hybrid journal/symposium model, which includes the option to resubmit with major revisions to a subsequent deadline. See the web site for full information, including submission guidelines. Papers must be submitted via the submission server for Issue 4 at: https://cgi.soic.indiana.edu/~pets2016/issue4/. We look forward to your submissions! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 16th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS 2016) Darmstadt, Germany July 19 â July 22, 2016 General information: https://petsymposium.org/ Submission server: https://cgi.soic.indiana.edu/~pets2016/issue4/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- The annual Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) brings together privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives on research in privacy technologies. PETS addresses the design and realization of privacy services for the Internet and other digital systems and communication networks. PETS seeks paper and panel submissions for its 16th event to be organised by TU Darmstadt and held in Darmstadt, Germany, on July 19 â July 22, 2016. Papers should present novel practical and/or theoretical research into the design, analysis, experimentation, or fielding of privacy-enhancing technologies. While PETS has traditionally been home to research on anonymity systems and privacy-oriented cryptography, we strongly encourage submissions on a number of both well-established and emerging privacy-related topics. New model as of PETS 2015: Papers undergo a journal-style reviewing process and accepted papers are published in the journal Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PoPETs). PoPETs, a scholarly, open access journal for timely research papers on privacy, has been established as a way to improve reviewing and publication quality while retaining the highly successful PETS community event. PoPETs is published by De Gruyter Open, the world's second largest publisher of Open Access academic content, and part of the De Gruyter group, which has over 260 years of publishing history. PoPETs does not have article processing charges (APCs) or article submission charges. NEW as of PETS 2016: PETS 2016 also solicits submissions for Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers. These are papers that critically review, evaluate, and contextualize work in areas for which a body of prior literature exists, and whose contribution lies in systematizing the existing knowledge in that area. To be suitable for publication, SoK articles must provide an added value beyond a literature review, such as novel insights, identification of research gaps, or challenges to commonly held assumptions. SoK papers will follow the same review process as other submissions, and will be published in PoPETs and presented at the PETS 2016 event. Authors can submit papers to PoPETs four times a year, every three months on a predictable schedule. Authors are notified of the decisions about two months after submission. In addition to accept and reject decisions, papers may be provided with âmajor revisionâ decisions, in which case authors are invited to revise and resubmit their article to one of the following two submission deadlines. We endeavor to assign the same reviewers to revised versions. Papers accepted for publication within or before the February deadline round will be presented at that year's symposium. Note that accepted papers must be presented at PETS. Submit papers for PoPETs 2016, Issue 4 at https://cgi.soic.indiana.edu/~pets2016/issue4/. Please see the submission guidelines below, and view our FAQ for more information about the process. Important Dates for PETS 2016 (All deadlines are 23:59:59 American Samoa time, UTC-11) Issue 4 ------- Paper submission deadline: February 29, 2016 (firm) Rebuttal period: April 11 â 13, 2016 Author notification: May 2, 2016 Camera-ready deadline for accepted papers and minor revisions (if accepted by the shepherd): June 2, 2016 Papers which were submitted to a previous PETS deadline and invited to resubmit after major revisions can submit the revised paper up to two weeks after the stated deadline. Such papers must however be registered by the usual deadline. Papers which were not submitted to a previous deadline or submissions which were rejected from a previous PETS issue must be submitted by the stated deadline. To be considered as a major revision, papers invited to resubmit must be registered in one of the next two rounds following the decision; otherwise the paper will be treated as a new submission. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: --------------------------------------------------- Behavioural targeting Building and deploying privacy-enhancing systems Crowdsourcing for privacy Cryptographic tools for privacy Data protection technologies Differential privacy Economics of privacy and game-theoretical approaches to privacy Forensics and privacy Human factors, usability and user-centered design for PETs Information leakage, data correlation and generic attacks to privacy Interdisciplinary research connecting privacy to economics, law, ethnography, psychology, medicine, biotechnology Location and mobility privacy Measuring and quantifying privacy Obfuscation-based privacy Policy languages and tools for privacy Privacy and human rights Privacy in ubiquitous computing and mobile devices Privacy in cloud and big-data applications Privacy in social networks and microblogging systems Privacy-enhanced access control, authentication, and identity management Profiling and data mining Reliability, robustness, and abuse prevention in privacy systems Surveillance Systems for anonymous communications and censorship resistance Traffic analysis Transparency enhancing

-------------------------------------------------- Roger Dingledine, The Tor Project Andrei Serjantov Local Organizing Team --------------------- Ann-Kathrin Braun Thomas Schneider (family support, childcare) Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers to be submitted to the PET Symposium must be at most 15 pages excluding bibliography and appendices and 20 pages total in De Gruyter Open format (zip file). PC members are not required to read the appendices, which should only be used to support evidence of the submission's technical validity, e.g., for detailed security proofs. Also, all papers must be anonymized (more information below). Papers not following these instructions risk being rejected without consideration of their merits. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. The paper should start with the title and an abstract. The introduction should give some background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Anonymization of Submissions ---------------------------- All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to make a good-faith effort to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. It is recognized that, at times, information regarding the identities of authors may become public outside the submission process (e.g., if a pre-print is published as a technical report or on a pre-print server) â the PC will ignore this external information. Minimally, please take the following steps when preparing your submission: Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page. Remove acknowledgment of identifying names and funding sources. Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other piece of related work by another author. Ethics Papers describing experiments with users or user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information), should follow the basic principles of ethical research, e.g., beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), minimal risk (appropriateness of the risk versus benefit ratio), voluntary consent, respect for privacy, and limited deception. Authors are encouraged to include a subsection on Ethical Principles if human subjects research is conducted, and such a discussion may be required if deemed necessary during the review process. Authors are encouraged to contact PC chairs before submitting to clarify any doubts. Copyright --------- Accepted papers will be published as an Open Access Journal by De Gruyter Open, the world's second largest publisher of Open Access academic content, and part of the De Gruyter group, which has over 260 years of publishing history. Authors retain copyright of their work. Papers will be published under an open-access policy using a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license. Best Student Paper Award ------------------------ The Andreas Pftzmann PETS 2016 Best Student Paper Award will be selected at PETS 2016. Papers written solely or primarily by a student who is presenting the work at PETS 2016 are eligible for the award. Submission ---------- Papers must be submitted via the PETS 2016 submission server. The URL for Issue 4 is: https://cgi.soic.indiana.edu/~pets2016/issue4/. HotPETs ------- As with the last several years, part of the symposium will be devoted to HotPETs â the "hottest," most exciting research ideas still in a formative state. Further information will be published on the PETS 2016 website soon. Panel Submissions ----------------- We also invite proposals of up to 2 pages for panel discussions or other relevant presentations. In your proposal, (1) describe the nature of the presentation and why it is appropriate to the symposium, (2) suggest a duration for the presentation (ideally between 45 and 90 minutes), and (3) suggest some possible presenters. Submit your proposal in the same manner as a PoPETs paper by the February deadline. (All panel proposals received by the February deadline will receive full consideration for that year's PETS.) Please begin your panel title with "Panel Proposal:". The program committee will consider panel proposals along with other symposium events and will respond by the paper decision date with an indication of its interest in scheduling the event.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: 11th Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research workshop (TEAR 2016) Datum: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 09:58:19 +0100 Von: Ulrik Franke <ulrik.franke(a)sics.se> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 11th TEAR Workshop 2016, Vienna The 11th TEAR workshop (http://tear-series.org/) is organized in conjunction with IEEE EDOC 2016, September 5-9, Vienna, Austria. The international TEAR workshop series brings together Enterprise Architecture (EA) researchers from different research communities and provides a forum to present EA research results and to discuss future EA research directions. The field of Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained considerable attention over the last years. EA is important because organizations need to adapt increasingly fast to changing customer requirements and business goals. This need influences the entire chain of activities of an enterprise, from business processes to IT support. Moreover, a change in a particular part of the overall architecture may influence many other parts of the architecture. For example, when a new product is introduced, business processes for production, sales and after-sales need to be adapted. It might be necessary to change applications, or even adapt the IT infrastructure. Each of these fields will have its own (partial) architectures. To keep the enterprise architecture coherent and aligned with the business goals, the relations between these different architectures must be explicit, and a change should be carried through methodically in all architectures. In contrast to traditional architecture management approaches such as IT architecture, software architecture or IS architecture, EA explicitly incorporates “pure” business-related artifacts in addition to traditional IS/IT artifacts. For Enterprise Architecture the focus is on the overall enterprise and concerns its organization, its components, the relationship between components and principles governing its design and evolution. Topics Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Case studies on EA • Combining BPM and EA • Drivers and obstacles of EA dissemination • EA and e-government • EA and organizational theory • EA and system development • EA and capability-based planning • EA business cases • EA communication and marketing • EA for small and medium-sized companies • EA governance and integration into corporate/IT governance • EA reference models, meta models and frameworks • EA usage in corporate strategic planning • Enterprise modeling, EA and MDA • Evolution of an EA • Incorporation of knowledge management and software engineering in EA • Measurement, metrics, and maturity models for EA artifacts and processes • Methodologies and research theory for EA research • Processes and patterns for EA development, mastering, communication and enforcement • Quality of EA models • Tool support for EA • Viewpoints in EA • EA analysis for decision-making, particularly for investments • Architectural Thinking in day-to-day decision making • Investigations of the EA needs of decision-makers • EA in the context of extended enterprises and large ecosystems • Managing a growing scope of concerns: legal, compliance, social, security, etc. • EA in the context of complexity and uncertainty • EA and the creation of EA research and teaching centers • Collaboration and sense-making in the context of EA • EA methods and tools that go beyond traditional software engineering • Experimenting with novel modelling and simulation approaches Important dates Workshop paper submission deadline: April 15, 2016 Workshop paper notification to authors: June 13, 2016 Camera-ready paper: July 1, 2016 Workshop: September 5 or 6, 2016 Submission Papers should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to TEAR as described in the topics section. Papers submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the duration of consideration. Workshop papers will be published in a second volume of the EDOC 2016 conference proceedings. All papers must be prepared in accordance with the IEEE double-column format (maximum 8 pages) and be submitted electronically (in PDF) via the submission website (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tear2016).

Younas <m.younas(a)brookes.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ----------------------Call for Papers---------------------------- The 4th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2016) 22-24 August 2016, Vienna, Austria http://www.ficloud.org/2016/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities,environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, transportation and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.
