-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] FMEC 2017 CFP: The 2nd IEEE Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing, Valencia, Spain. May 8-11, 2017 Datum: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 01:19:23 +0200 Von: IEEE FMEC 2017 <FMEC(a)just.edu.jo> An: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org The 2nd IEEE Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2017) Valencia, Spain. May 8-11, 2017 http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2017/index.php Co-loacated with (SDS 2017): http://emergingtechnet.org/SDS2017/index.php Call for Papers: Cloud computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2017 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2017 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: 3rd International Workshop on Socio-Technical Perspective in IS development (STPIS'17) Datum: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 12:00:04 +0100 Von: ilia <ilia(a)ibissoft.se> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear colleagues, Please consider visiting Essen, Germany in June 2017 and participating in 3rd International Workshop on Socio-Technical Perspective in IS development (STPIS'17) planned for 13th of June 2017 The main */purpose /*of the workshop is to arrange */discussions /*on using a socio-technical perspective in IS development, the long term goal being to make this workshop a/*meeting place for the community of IS researchers and practitioners*/ interested in the socio-technical approach. Following the purpose, only part of the workshop is devoted to presentations, the rest is designated for collaborative work. This year we will be working on a real case from the industry to be prepared by our local chairs. Attached to CAiSE'17 conference http://caise2017.paluno.de/ Full description see at http://stpis2017.blogs.dsv.su.se/ Short description is presented below --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite that a socio-technical perspective has been around for over a half century, it is often forgotten in the Information Systems (IS) discourse today. Consequently, many “new approaches” appear to reflect on IS systems problems, such as modern IT systems poorly adjusted to the external or/and internal environment (e.g. market, organizational culture) of organizations in which they are (to be) deployed. We strongly believe that it is high time the social-technical perspective took its proper place in IS research, practice and teaching. The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on using a socio-technical perspective in IS development, the long term goal being to make this workshop a meeting place for the community of IS researchers and practitioners interested in the socio-technical approach. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Case studies using socio-technical approach Information system design using socio-technical approach Socio-technical comparative studies of technology/IS adoption Socio-technical analysis, design, development and integration of – health care systems – crisis management systems – information security management systems – learning systems – privacy enhanced technology Societal Security from a socio-technical perspective Ethnographic and Anthropological aspects of IS design and adoption IT business alignment from a socio-technical perspective Using Viable System Model (VSM) for analysis and design of socio-technical systems We invite submissions of short and long papers and multi-media materials in the following categories: Position papers Idea papers Experience reports Research papers Multi-media. Besides papers, we accept submissions in form of multi-media materials, for example, recorded video or animated presentation, describing industrial experience of using socio-technical perspective for IS analysis or development. In case of acceptance, an extended abstract is published in the workshop proceedings, while the multi-media material itself or a link to it is placed on the workshop site.

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary area that has attracted researchers, educators, and practitioners from several disciplines. It essentially deals with the design, evaluation, adoption, and use of information technology, with a common focus on improved user performance and experience. New and exciting research opportunities are emerging, including issues and challenges concerning people’s interactions with various information technologies that can be examined from an organizational, managerial, psychological, social, or cultural perspective. This track welcomes papers that aim at advancing our understanding of human‐computer interaction at the individual, work group, organization, or society levels. Submissions may use any type of research method. This year, ‘best -of-track’ papers will be offered the option of fast-track submission to AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI). THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. It is published by AIS and sponsored by SIGHCI. Important Dates 09-January-2017 Manuscript submissions begin 01-March-2017 Manuscript submissions due 1:00 PM EST (13:00) - Completed Research and ERF (Emergent Research Forum) submissions 17-April-2017 Notification of initial decision on Completed Research and ERFs 25-April-2017 Camera ready submissions due on Completed Research and ERFs 28-April-2017 Notification of decision on revised camera-ready Completed Research and ERFs Mini-Track 1: Cognitive and Affective HCI Understanding the cognitive and affective processes in system use can lead to innovative systems. This mini-track aims to provide a forum for research on detection, integration, design, impact, visualization, privacy, and usage of cognition and affect in information systems. Cognition and affect can be detected and integrated into information systems by capturing information from eye tracking, EEG, video cameras, microphones, and other human interaction sensors. Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following: Affective or cognitive state detection; Classification or prediction; Visualization; Barriers to effective user experience; Social and political impact case studies; Credibility assessment; Platforms, tools, and technologies; Better HCI methods and models, Innovative HCI opportunities, Mobile factors, and Dynamic HCI affordances.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CfP: SASO 2017 - IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems, September 18-22, Tucson, Arizona Datum: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 21:22:50 +0100 Von: Markus Esch <newsletter(a)saso-conference.org> An: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org ************************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS The Eleventh IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2017) University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ; 18-22 September 2017 https://saso2017.telecom-paristech.fr/ ************************************************************************* Part of FAS* - Foundation and Applications of Self-* Computing Conferences Collocated with: The International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC 2017) ------------------- Aims and Scope ------------------- The aim of the Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems conference series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research on the foundations of engineered systems that self-adapt and self-organize. The complexity of current and emerging networks, software, and services can be characterized by issues such as scale, heterogeneity, openness, and dynamics in the environment. This has led the software engineering, distributed systems, and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, chemistry, psychology, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such computing systems in a principled way. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated approaches. They form the basis for many other so-called self-* properties, such as self-configuration, self-healing, or self-optimization. SASO aims to be an interdisciplinary meeting, where contributions from participants with different backgrounds leads to the fostering of a cross-pollination of ideas, and where innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications can emerge. The eleventh edition of the SASO conference embraces this inter-disciplinary nature, and welcomes novel contributions to both the foundational and application-focused dimensions of self-adaptive and self-organizing systems research. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Systems theory: nature-inspired and socially-inspired paradigms and heuristics; inter-operation of self-* mechanisms; theoretical frameworks and models; control theory; - System properties: robustness; resilience; stability; anti-fragility; diversity; self-reference and reflection; emergent behavior; computational awareness and self-awareness; - Systems engineering: reusable mechanisms and algorithms; design patterns; architectures; methodologies; software and middleware development frameworks and methods; platforms and toolkits; multi-agent systems; - Theory and practice of organization: self-governance, change management, electronic institutions, distributed consensus, commons, knowledge management, and the general use of rules, policies, etc. in self-* systems - Theory and practice of adaptation: mechanisms for adaptation, including evolution, logic, learning; adaptability, plasticity, flexibility - Socio-technical systems: human and social factors; visualization; crowdsourcing and collective awareness; humans-in-the-loop; ethics and humanities in self-* systems; - Data-driven approaches: data mining; machine learning; data science and other statistical techniques to analyze, understand, and manage behavior of complex systems; - Self-adaptive and self-organizing hardware: self-* materials; self-construction; reconfigurable hardware; - Education: experience reports; curricula; innovative course concepts; methodological aspects of self-* systems education; Applications and experiences with self-* systems in any of the following domains are of particular interest: + Smart systems: smart grids, smart cities, smart environments, smart homes, etc. + Industrial automation: embedded self-* systems, adaptive industrial plants, Industry 4.0, cyber physical systems + Transportation: autonomous vehicles, traffic optimization + Autonomous systems: aerial vehicles, undersea vehicles, autonomous robotics + Internet of Things: self-* for network management, self-* applied to cyber security We are looking for contributions that present new fundamental understanding of self-adaptive and self-organizing systems and how they can be engineered and used, including: novel theoretical or experimental results, novel design patterns, mechanisms, system architectures, frameworks, tools, and practical experiences in building or deploying systems and applications. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems, are equally encouraged. Likewise, papers describing substantial innovation or insights in the use and communication of self-* systems in the classroom are welcome. Where relevant and appropriate, accepted papers will also be encouraged to participate in the Demo or Poster Sessions. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Abstract submission: May 1, 2017 Paper submission: May 10, 2017 Notification: June 30, 2017 Camera ready copy due: July 12, 2017 Conference: September 18-22, 2017 ---------------------------- Submission Instructions ---------------------------- Submissions can be up to 10 pages, formatted according to the standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide, and submitted electronically in PDF format. Please submit your papers using the SASO 2017 conference management system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2017. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE Digital Library. Note that a separate Call for Poster and Demo Submissions will also be issued. As per the standard IEEE policies, all submissions should be original, i.e., they must not have been previously published in any conference proceedings, book, or journal and must not currently be under review for another archival conference. We also highlight the IEEE policies regarding plagiarism and self-plagiarism (http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/ID_Plagiaris…). --------------------- Review Criteria --------------------- Papers should present novel ideas in the cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. Both theoretical and empirical contributions should be highlighted, substantiated by formal analysis, simulation, experimental evaluations, or comparative studies, etc. Appropriate references must be made to related work. Because SASO is a cross-disciplinary conference, we encourage papers to be intelligible and relevant to researchers who are not members of the same specialized sub-field. Authors are also encouraged to submit papers describing applications. Application papers should provide an indication of the real-world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the domain, and an evaluation of performance, usability, or comparison to alternative approaches. Experience papers are also welcome, especially if they highlight insights into any aspect of design, implementation or management of self-* systems that would be of benefit to practitioners and the SASO community. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated based on the quality of their technical contribution, originality, soundness, significance, presentation, understanding of the state of the art, and overall quality. ------------------------------- Conference General Chair ------------------------------- Ada Diaconescu Telecom Paris-Tech, Paris, FR -------------------- Program Chairs -------------------- Peter Lewis, Aston University, Birmingham, UK Sam Malek, University of California, Irvine, USA Hella Seebach, Augsburg University, Augsburg, DE _______________________________________________ computational.science mailing list computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org https://lists.iccsa.org/mailman/listinfo/computational.science Hosted by Sardina Systems: Hyper-Efficient OpenStack Cloud
