In addition to the temporal nature of stream data, various sources provide stream data that has geo<a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>ical locations and/or spatial extents such as point coordinates, lines, or polygons. Thanks to advances in geosensing technologies, researchers in the geospatial community have been able to acquire huge amounts of streamed <a href="/t/sensor_data/" class="t-link">sensor data</a>. On one hand, this amount of streamed data has been a major propeller to advance the state of the art in <a href="/t/geographic_information_systems/" class="t-link">geographic information systems</a>. On the other hand, the ability to process, mine, and analyze that massive amount of data in a timely manner prevented researchers from making full use of the incoming stream data. The geostreaming term refers to the ongoing effort in academia and industry to process, mine and analyze stream data with geographic and spatial information.<br/> This workshop addresses the research communities in both stream processing and <a href="/t/geographic_information_systems/" class="t-link">geographic information systems</a>. It brings together experts in the field from academia, industry and research labs to discuss the lessons they have learned over the years, to demonstrate what they have achieved so far, and to plan for the future of geostreaming. We encourage researchers from academia and industry to submit papers that highlight the value of stream <a href="/t/query_processing/" class="t-link">query processing</a> on topics that include, but not limited to the following:<br/> * Spatio-temporal stream systems<br/> * Spatio-temporal stream <a href="/t/query_processing/" class="t-link">query processing</a><br/> * Real-time <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> of spatial and spatio-temporal data<br/> * Location-aware stream systems<br/> * Privacy preserving in mobile <a href="/t/object_databases/" class="t-link">object databases</a><br/> * Traffic monitoring and prediction<br/> <a href="/e/19028/137608/">[More...]</a> Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/19028/137608/http://eventseer.net/e/18855/137604/Due to numerous requests, we extended our paper submission deadline to May 21st<br/> <br/> CALL FOR PAPERS<br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> Mining Data Semantics in Information Networks (MDS'2012) Workshop<br/> in conjunction with SIGKDD2012 (http://www.sigkdd.org/kdd2012/)<br/> http://arnetminer.org/MDS2012<br/> August 12-16, 2012, Beijing, <a href="/i/china/" class="i-link">China</a>.<br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> News:<br/> <br/> - Keynote: <a href="/p/christos_faloutsos/" class="p-link">Christos Faloutsos</a> (Department of Computer Science, <a href="/i/carnegie_mellon_university/" class="i-link">Carnegie Mellon University</a>, USA)<br/> - Invited Speakers:<br/> . <a href="/p/jure_leskovec/" class="p-link">Jure Leskovec</a>, <a href="/i/stanford_university/" class="i-link">Stanford University</a>, USA<br/> . <a href="/p/hui_xiong/" class="p-link">Hui Xiong</a>, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, USA<br/> . <a href="/p/yizhou_sun/" class="p-link">Yizhou Sun</a>, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA<br/> <br/> - Best papers with significant extension will be invited to submit to a top <a href="/t/journal/" class="t-link">journal</a> (indexed by Science Citation Index (SCI) with impact factor&gt;2)<br/> <a href="/e/18855/137604/">[More...]</a> Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18855/137604/http://eventseer.net/e/18338/137601/ AIGM'12: algorithmic issues for inference in <a href="/t/graphical_models/" class="t-link">graphical models</a><br/> during the ECAI conference<br/> August 27 - 31, Montpellier, France<br/> Web site: http://www2.toulouse.inra.fr/AIGM12<br/> <br/> Important dates<br/> <br/> * Submission deadline : 31st of May<br/> * Notification to authors: 29th of June<br/> * Submission of final version: 13th of July<br/> <br/> Motivation<br/> <br/> Most real (e.g. biological) <a href="/t/complex_systems/" class="t-link">complex systems</a> are formed or<br/> <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>led by elementary objects that locally interact with each<br/> other.

It provides a discussion forum for researchers interested in fostering a <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>-based approach to these areas as well as an opportunity to present and debate design and theory-based solutions to the problems facing industry in the field of ICT enabled <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s. In a broad sense, ICT enabled <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s can be defined as [1] : "..systems that enable value co-creation through the development and implementation of information and communication technology enabled processes that integrate system value propositions with customer value drivers." This emerging area of research raises interesting questions. E.g., traditional development approaches focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational processes. The design of ICT enabled <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s may, however, require an emphasis on the socio-psychological aspects, such as the value-in-use and user/consumer experience. Thus the shift from consumer and enterprise users to co-creators of value, calls for a significant re-appraisal of our current design and development approaches.<br/> <br/> Relevant topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to):<br/> <br/> * ICT enabled <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s, <a href="/t/mobile_services/" class="t-link">mobile services</a>, and consumer Information Systems related topics<br/> - Analytics supported design and development<br/> - Socio-psychological aspects<br/> - Temporospatial relevance<br/> - Discovery and fuzzy-front end processes<br/> - Innovation processes<br/> * Consumers and/or enterprise users aspects<br/> - Service ecosystems<br/> - Social <a href="/t/networking/" class="t-link">networking</a><br/> <a href="/e/18591/137569/">[More...]</a> Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18591/137569/http://eventseer.net/e/18884/137568/INVITATION:<br/> <br/> =================<br/> Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to UBICOMM 2012.<br/> <br/> The submission deadline is set to May 18, 2012.<br/> <br/> In addition, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended article versions to one of the IARIA Journals: http://www.iariajournals.org<br/> =================<br/> <br/> ============== UBICOMM 2012 | Call for Papers ===============<br/> <br/> CALL FOR PAPERS, TUTORIALS, PANELS<br/> <br/> UBICOMM 2012, The Sixth International Conference on Mobile Ubiquitous Computing, Systems, Services and Technologies<br/> September 23 - 28, 2012 - Barcelona, Spain<br/> <br/> General page: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2012/UBICOMM12.html<br/> <br/> Call for Papers: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2012/CfPUBICOMM12.html<br/> <br/> - regular papers<br/> - short papers (work in progress)<br/> - posters<br/> <a href="/e/18884/137568/">[More...]</a> Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18884/137568/http://eventseer.net/e/19024/137566/ Call For Papers<br/> <br/> International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and Systems (ESSoS)<br/> <br/> http://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/essos/2013/<br/> <br/> February 27 - March 1, 2013, Paris, France<br/> <br/> In <a href="/t/cooperation/" class="t-link">cooperation</a> with (pending): <a href="/i/acm/" class="i-link">ACM</a> SIGSAC and SIGSOFT and <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> CS (TCSE).<br/> <br/> CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION<br/> <br/> Trustworthy, secure <a href="/t/software/" class="t-link">software</a> is a core ingredient of the modern world.<br/> Hostile,<br/> <a href="/t/network/" class="t-link">network</a>ed environments, like the Internet, can allow vulnerabilities in<br/> <a href="/t/software/" class="t-link">software</a><br/> to be exploited from anywhere.

Efforts aimed at representing meaning of data in a machine-readable way (i.e., Semantic Web or <a href="/t/deductive_databases/" class="t-link">deductive databases</a>) have achieved some level of success. There are alternatives to the top-down, assertional approaches to <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>, which can work even without (too much) expensive human involvement. One of the most widely and successfully used are distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s that have been researched within the field of <a href="/t/computational_linguistics/" class="t-link">computational linguistics</a>. These <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, based on the distributional hypothesis, provide a bottom-up approach to the computational representation of meaning, where the statistical co-occurrence of words in unstructured corpora can provide a basis for the construction of simplified but comprehensive and extensible <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s of <a href="/t/semantic_content/" class="t-link">semantic content</a>.<br/> <br/> Most of the research activity on distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> has been targeting theoretical and empirical aspects of distributional <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s with the bulk of the progress been made to date by the <a href="/t/natural_language_processing/" class="t-link">natural language processing</a> community. However, a high demand for robust and comprehensive <a href="/t/computational_models/" class="t-link">computational models</a> of meaning is present in different areas such as <a href="/t/databases/" class="t-link">databases</a>, <a href="/t/information_retrieval/" class="t-link">information retrieval</a>, <a href="/t/semantic_web/" class="t-link">semantic web</a>, <a href="/t/artificial_intelligence/" class="t-link">artificial intelligence</a>, <a href="/t/human-computer_interaction/" class="t-link">human-computer interaction</a>, among other areas. This demand, meeting with the availability of mature distributional <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s and with large-scale unstructured and <a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a> resources, brings the opportunity of leveraging robust <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s in all these fields.<br/> <br/> ===================<br/> <br/> Objective<br/> <br/> ===================<br/> <br/> DiDaS 2012 aims at connecting distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> with areas that could benefit from a distributional <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> of meaning. The workshop targets the exploration of both applied and theoretical aspects of these cross-disciplinary interactions. One of the main objectives of the workshop is to bridge the existing gap between distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> and research areas which can strongly benefit from distributional (i.e., bottom-up) <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s of meaning that would complement the traditional top-down approaches to <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> (e.g., <a href="/t/ontologies/" class="t-link">ontologies</a> or <a href="/t/database_schema/" class="t-link">database schema</a>ta). Additionally, the workshop encourages the participation of domain experts and industry practitioners focused on domain-oriented applications of distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>.<br/> <br/> ===================<br/> <br/> Topics of Interest<br/> <br/> ===================<br/> <br/> The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following categories and their sub-domains.<br/> <br/> * Foundational Issues:<br/> <br/> &ndash; Novel distributional <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s of meaning<br/> <br/> &ndash; Distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> and compositionality<br/> <br/> &ndash; Distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> and <a href="/t/knowledge_representation/" class="t-link">knowledge representation</a><br/> <br/> &ndash; Geometrical and <a href="/t/formal_aspects/" class="t-link">formal aspects</a> of distributional <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a><br/> <a href="/e/19019/137542/">[More...]</a> Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/19019/137542/http://eventseer.net/e/18409/137538/It is a pleasure to announce you the CD-ARES IFIP CROSS-DOMAIN CONFERENCE which will be held in Prague from, Czech Republic.<br/> <br/> CD-ARES will focus on all aspects of Information Systems Applications.<br/> <br/> CD-ARES is a joint effort of<br/> <br/> - IFIP WG 8.4 (E-Business: Multi-disciplinary research and practice)<br/> <br/> - IFIP WG 8.4 (Enterprise Information Systems)<br/> <br/> - IFIP TC 5 (Information Technology Applications)<br/> <br/> Special consideration on aspects of Availability, Reliability and Security in Business, Enterprise and Health Information Systems are very much welcome.<br/> <br/> The deadline for submissions: May 21st, 2012<br/> <br/> ################################################################################<br/> <br/> CALL FOR PAPERS<br/> <br/> International Cross Domain Conference and Workshop (CD-ARES) supported by IFIP TC 8 (WG 8.4, WG 8.9) and TC 5 To be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2012 http://www.ares-conference.eu).<br/> <br/> August 20th - 24th, 2012<br/> <br/> <a href="/i/university_of_economics_prague/" class="i-link">University of Economics, Prague</a><br/> <br/> Prague, Czech Republic<br/> <br/> Today's highly interconnected and interdependent <a href="/t/information_systems/" class="t-link">information systems</a> are used in many different ways in order to perform and improve business operations.<br/> <a href="/e/18409/137538/">[More...]</a> Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18409/137538/http://eventseer.net/e/19018/137537/Dear Sir or Madam,<br/> <br/> (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message)<br/> <br/> ---------------------------------------<br/> 4th Workshop on Interfaces and Architectures for Scientific Data Storage (IASDS)<br/> http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/iasds12<br/> September 24 2012, held in conjunction with <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> Cluster 2012 in Beijing, <a href="/i/china/" class="i-link">China</a><br/> ---------------------------------------<br/> Paper Submission Deadline: May 25, 2012<br/> ---------------------------------------<br/> <br/> High-<a href="/t/performance_computing/" class="t-link">performance computing</a> <a href="/t/simulation/" class="t-link">simulation</a>s and large scientific experiments generate tens of terabytes of<br/> data, and these data sizes grow each year.

Business Process Management (BPM) has been providing important technological support to improve organization competitiveness. In order to increase dynamism and competitiveness, BPM can benefit from reuse techniques and tools at several stages of <a href="/t/business_process/" class="t-link">business process</a> life cycle.<br/> <br/> The 3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management will be dedicated to explore any type of reuse in the BPM domain, taking into account both the results of research in academia and the results of applications in industry.<br/> <br/> It will be a forum to discuss systematic reuse applied to BPM at <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> various levels and different life cycle stages, including:<br/> <br/> (1) basic <a href="/t/service-oriented/" class="t-link">service-oriented</a> foundation level: including <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a> development, description, publication, discovery, selection, <a href="/t/negotiation/" class="t-link">negotiation</a>, and aggregation;<br/> <br/> (2) management and monitoring upper level: including <a href="/t/business_process_modeling/" class="t-link">business process modeling</a>, execution, monitoring, administration, and <a href="/t/optimization/" class="t-link">optimization</a>.<br/> <br/> Moreover, the impact of reuse on business- and <a href="/t/service-oriented/" class="t-link">service-oriented</a> engineering as well as analyzing how it can help in the design of higher quality <a href="/t/process_model/" class="t-link">process model</a>s are very important topics to be discussed.<br/> <br/> Different existing reuse approaches and techniques can be extended to be applied to this fairly new domain, including: <a href="/t/software_product_line/" class="t-link">software product line</a> or <a href="/t/software_product/" class="t-link">software product</a> families; variability descriptors; <a href="/t/design_patterns/" class="t-link">design patterns</a> such as feature <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing; aspect-orientation; and component-based development.

They are DOA-SVI'12 = secure virtual infrastructures in <a href="/t/distributed_object/" class="t-link">distributed object</a> architectures in particular for <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a>, ODBASE'12 = meaning of (linked) data as needed for <a href="/t/databases/" class="t-link">databases</a> and methodologies, CoopIS'12 = applications of distributed and collaborative <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a> in workflows of <a href="/t/network/" class="t-link">network</a>ed organizations. Each conference covers multiple research vectors, viz. theory (e.g. underlying formalisms), conceptual level (e.g. technical designs and conceptual solutions) and applications (e.g. <a href="/t/case_studies/" class="t-link">case studies</a> and industrial best practices).<br/> <br/> All three federated conferences share the rigorous scientific study of the distributed, conceptual and ubiquitous aspects of modern <a href="/t/computing_systems/" class="t-link">computing systems</a>, and share the resulting technology- and application-pull created by the WWW.<br/> <br/> As they must, these subject areas overlap in interesting and occasionally fascinating ways, and in fact the organizers specifically welcome submissions in any of the areas that also emphasize the envisaged impact on or from relevant issues in the others.

Virtual worlds ignite a continuously evolving area of study that spans multiple disciplines and the JVWR editorial team looks forward to engaging a wide range of creative and scholarly research.<br/> <br/> Motivation and Scope<br/> The intriguing potential of <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a> has attracted a significant amount of scholarly work in the business research domain. As much as we recognize the invaluable contribution made by scholars in this area, we also see the need for more research that can offer visionary perspectives to shape the future design and use of <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a>. Through the business lens, virtual worlds are often perceived to be promising yet risky and exciting yet formidable for the use and management of individual and <a href="/t/collaborative_work/" class="t-link">collaborative work</a>. Scholars and practitioners are confronted with an apparent contradiction: on the one hand, the business case for <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a> appears to offer great promise; while on the other hand, the observed returns and demonstrable successes are often absent or negligible.<br/> <br/> This special issue on managerial and commercial applications of <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a> aims to highlight research that makes a significant and novel contribution in <a href="/t/theory_and_practice/" class="t-link">theory and practice</a> about <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a> in the business domain. We are seeking papers that showcase new directions for research by exa<a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> technical, behavioral, economic, and/or social perspectives of <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a> in organizational and business environments. In particular, we are interested in papers that enable us to better understand managerial and organizational issues associated with <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a> and how these environments should be designed, used, and managed for commercial and managerial purposes to enhance business value. We especially welcome innovative and creative research that enables our audience to see the new possibilities offered by the unique <a href="/t/affordance/" class="t-link">affordance</a>s of virtual environments.<br/> <br/> Authors are invited to submit original scholarly manuscripts that will make significant contributions to the advancement of our understanding of managerial and commercial applications as it applies to <a href="/t/virtual_worlds/" class="t-link">virtual worlds</a>.

Building next generation CIS requires technical breakthroughs as well as dynamic, reliable and secure collaborative information technologies to overcome the tough challenges that traditional rigid <a href="/t/distributed_systems/" class="t-link">distributed systems</a> did not face. A particular challenge in modern enterprises and entire <a href="/t/supply_chain/" class="t-link">supply chain</a>s is providing flexible and real-world aware CIS that enable users to quickly react to environmental changes as well as to evolving needs (e.g., by continuously and dynamically adapting CIS).<br/> <br/> The CIS paradigm has traditionally encompassed <a href="/t/distributed_systems/" class="t-link">distributed systems</a> technologies such as <a href="/t/middleware/" class="t-link">middleware</a>, <a href="/t/business_process/" class="t-link">business process</a> management (BPM) and Web technologies. In recent years, several innovative technologies have emerged: SaaS, <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a>, Internet of Service, Internet of Things, Service Oriented Computing, mash-ups, Web Services, Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid. These new technologies have increased the need for a tighter integration of data and knowledge with <a href="/t/business_processes/" class="t-link">business processes</a>, workflows as well as with collaborative process settings such as process choreo<a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>ies. This trend is also reflected in areas such as data- or artifact-centric workflows and <a href="/t/business_process/" class="t-link">business process</a> <a href="/t/compliance/" class="t-link">compliance</a> as well as in finding new ways of analyzing data and processes in a combined manner.<br/> <br/> CIS applications are heavily distributed and highly coordinated, often exhibiting inter-organizational interaction patterns and requiring distributed access and sharing of <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a> and <a href="/t/information_resources/" class="t-link">information resources</a>. Typically they fall under the categories such as e-Business, e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Health, and e-Science.<br/> <a href="/e/18006/137298/">[More...]</a> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18006/137298/http://eventseer.net/e/12995/137286/<a href="/e/12995/137286/">[More...]</a> Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/12995/137286/http://eventseer.net/e/18716/137349/<a href="/e/18716/137349/">[More...]</a> Thu, 10 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18716/137349/http://eventseer.net/e/19003/137292/<a href="/e/19003/137292/">[More...]</a> Thu, 10 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/19003/137292/http://eventseer.net/e/19002/137283/<a href="/i/acm/" class="i-link">ACM</a> SIGIR 2012 WORKSHOP ON OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL<br/> 16 August 2012, Portland, Oregon, USA<br/> http://opensearchlab.otago.ac.nz/<br/> <br/> OVERVIEW (The short version)<br/> This workshop is providing a venue for users and authors of <a href="/t/open_source/" class="t-link">open source</a> IR tools to get together and discuss their joint future.

Early <a href="/t/search_engines/" class="t-link">search engines</a> (such as MG) continue to be used in larger <a href="/t/open_source/" class="t-link">open source</a> projects (such as Greenstone). More recent <a href="/t/open_source/" class="t-link">open source</a> <a href="/t/search_engines/" class="t-link">search engines</a> (such as Apache Lucene) are used to power the search facilities of some of the largest technology companies (such as IBM, AOL, and Apple). In the academic community, such <a href="/t/search_engines/" class="t-link">search engines</a> are routinely used to test ranking functions, compression algorithms, user <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s, and so on.

Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agri<a href="/t/culture/" class="t-link">culture</a> and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a>elf will also contribute to CO2 emission through <a href="/t/network/" class="t-link">network</a> operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or <a href="/t/energy_consumption/" class="t-link">energy consumption</a> of <a href="/t/mobile_networks/" class="t-link">mobile networks</a>, while maintaining acceptable <a href="/t/quality_of_service/" class="t-link">quality of service</a>.

It is unique in that it targets to synthesize the concepts from these diverse fields in a comprehensive fashion in the <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a> of the <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> Web.<br/> <br/> The Web has now been in existence for quite some time and <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> pervasive in <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> influence on all aspects of society and commerce. It has also produced a major shift in our thinking on the nature and scope of <a href="/t/information_processing/" class="t-link">information processing</a>. However in <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> technological nature and <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> supporting <a href="/t/theoretical_foundations/" class="t-link">theoretical foundations</a>, it has remained relatively rudimentary, being currently largely suitable for <a href="/t/information_dissemination/" class="t-link">information dissemination</a>. It is rapidly moving away from this, to application deployment and knowledge deployment that require complex interactions and properly structured underlying <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>. This has been a sudden upsurge of research activity in the problems associated with adding <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> to the Web. This work on <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> will involve data, knowledge, and process <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>.

As a result, each of the two has attracted over the past years people both in academia and industry, manifesting <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a>elf into a plethora of methods, and tools that have been designed to assist with the management of these two concerns. Yet, the natural and yet independent evolution in both areas has led to a reality in which in many cases the handling of one concern is treated as an afterthought with respect to the other. Recently however, we see the emergence of paradigms that are aimed to blend the two concerns, seeking for new approaches that may naturally and seamlessly unify the two in order to better streamline the overall complexity in BP<a href="/p/m_conte/" class="p-link">M. Conte</a>mporary examples include Artifact-Centric BPM, Petri-nets, and Case-Management. Therefore, the DAB workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners whose common interest and experience is in the study and development of new foundations, <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, methods, and technologies that are intended to uniformly and holistically align data and <a href="/t/control/" class="t-link">control</a> flow.<br/> <br/> We invite researchers from the BPM field to submit papers that investigate the tight interplay between data and <a href="/t/control_flow/" class="t-link">control flow</a>.

It enables users to elastically utilize resources in an on-demand fashion, takes full advantages of <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a>, and brings new types of <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s and facilities to users by providing ubiquitous <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a> access. Several organizations have predicted that <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a> will completely transform the way in which <a href="/t/mobile_applications/" class="t-link">mobile applications</a> and <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s are acquired, developed and used.<br/> <br/> However, there are still many obstacles for MobiCC, including <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a> availability, <a href="/t/mobility_management/" class="t-link">mobility management</a>, <a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a>, <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a>, <a href="/t/energy_efficiency/" class="t-link">energy efficiency</a>, etc. These problems must be carefully addressed before mobile could become the next big thing. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of mobile <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a>, including but not limited to:<br/> <br/> New architecture of <a href="/t/middleware/" class="t-link">middleware</a> and applications in mobile <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a><br/> Distribution of resources and computation between <a href="/t/mobile_devices/" class="t-link">mobile devices</a> and the <a href="/t/cloud/" class="t-link">cloud</a><br/> Measurement and <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing for mobile <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a><br/> Task or resource out-sourcing<br/> Transmission protocols and <a href="/t/scheduling_algorithms/" class="t-link">scheduling algorithms</a> for mobile <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a><br/> Availability and <a href="/t/reliability/" class="t-link">reliability</a> of mobile <a href="/t/cloud/" class="t-link">cloud</a> <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s<br/> Fairness and isolation of <a href="/t/mobile_devices/" class="t-link">mobile devices</a> in the <a href="/t/cloud/" class="t-link">cloud</a><br/> Collaborative operations in mobile <a href="/t/cloud_computing/" class="t-link">cloud computing</a><br/> <a href="/e/18990/137132/">[More...]</a> Wed, 09 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18990/137132/http://eventseer.net/e/14706/137131/<a href="/e/14706/137131/">[More...]</a> Wed, 09 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/14706/137131/http://eventseer.net/e/18685/137128/ *** Call for Papers ***<br/> <br/> The 15th <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> International Conference on Computational Science and<br/> Engineering (<a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> CSE 2012)<br/> <br/> http://www.cse2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy/<br/> <br/> The 10th <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a>/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous<br/> Computing (<a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a>/IFIP EUC 2012)<br/> <br/> http://www.euc2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy/<br/> <br/> 3-5 October 2012, Paphos, Cyprus<br/> <br/> *** EXTENDED DEADLINE: 10th June 2012 ***<br/> <br/> CSE 2012<br/> <br/> The Computational Science and Engineering area has earned prominence<br/> through advances in electronic and integrated technologies beginning<br/> in the 1940s.

Each conference covers multiple research vectors, viz. theory (e.g. underlying formalisms), conceptual level (e.g. technical designs and conceptual solutions) and applications (e.g. <a href="/t/case_studies/" class="t-link">case studies</a> and industrial best practices).<br/> <br/> All three federated conferences share the rigorous scientific study of the distributed, conceptual and ubiquitous aspects of modern <a href="/t/computing_systems/" class="t-link">computing systems</a>, and share the resulting technology- and application-pull created by the WWW.<br/> <br/> As they must, these subject areas overlap in interesting and occasionally fascinating ways, and in fact the organizers specifically welcome submissions in any of the areas that also emphasize the envisaged impact on or from relevant issues in the others.

These NetGeners and others who have embraced the new social media <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s such as Twitter and <a href="/t/facebook_1/" class="t-link">Facebook</a> use these and similar platforms to form and maintain communities of interest and even communities of practice, crossing organizational and political boundaries.<br/> <br/> As the use of these technologies become more prevalent in the workplace, organizations experience tensions because the use of <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> and social media challenge the typical organizational structure and relationships. The challenge is for executives to find ways to mobilize the creativity and energy of those who embrace these technologies but still enable the organization to protect <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> proprietary knowledge.<br/> <br/> Topics in this mini-track can include:<br/> <br/> * Detailed <a href="/t/case_studies/" class="t-link">case studies</a> of how organizations manage the tension arising from the use of social media in the workplace<br/> * Detailed <a href="/t/case_studies/" class="t-link">case studies</a> of how organizations are benefiting from social media and how they are managing the design and <a href="/t/control/" class="t-link">control</a> of applications that use social media<br/> * Economic analyses of the costs and benef<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> of social media to firms and organizations<br/> * Ethical and legal aspects of using social media as part of an overall <a href="/t/knowledge_management/" class="t-link">knowledge management</a> strategy<br/> * How crowdsourcing and other applications of social media are used in innovation and new knowledge development<br/> * Implications for knowledge <a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a> at the organizational level by the increasing use of social media and <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s<br/> * Risk management strategies for knowledge managers who want to use social media to benefit their organizations<br/> Papers solicited for this mini-track cover issues, challenges, ideas, and solutions for managing knowledge in an era of social media. The use of social media (SM) presents both risks and opportunities for <a href="/t/knowledge_management/" class="t-link">knowledge management</a> (KM) and systems. On the one hand, SM offers unprecedented opportunities for sharing <a href="/t/information_and_knowledge/" class="t-link">information and knowledge</a> both among colleagues closely bound by shared interests but also among those representing the strength of weak ties (Granovetter, 1973). On the other hand, SM, because of the ease with which information can be disseminated, threatens organizational <a href="/t/control/" class="t-link">control</a> of information and increases the risk of the loss of <a href="/t/intellectual_property/" class="t-link">intellectual property</a> and proprietary knowledge. For this track, we encourage authors from academia, industry, <a href="/t/government/" class="t-link">government</a>s, and non-prof<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a>, especially collaborations among these groups to address the tension between both these aspects of KM and SM. We solicit early stage concepts, <a href="/t/case_studies/" class="t-link">case studies</a>, works-in-progress, and collaborative <a href="/t/action_research/" class="t-link">action research</a> among academics, executives, and policy makers that illustrate innovative approaches and solutions.

The 46th HICSS, one of the most prominent Conferences on Information Systems and Sciences worldwide, will be held on January 7-10, 2013, in Maui,Hawaii (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu).<br/> <br/> Paradoxes and tensions are ubiquitous to innovation and change in sociotechnical systems in a wide ranging <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a>s including but not limited to open innovation, <a href="/t/e-health/" class="t-link">e-health</a>, mobile platforms, integrated <a href="/t/supply_chain/" class="t-link">supply chain</a>s. Conflicting demands, contradictory practices, and competing views create fiction that can energize or inhibit the performance of a complex socio-technical system. There is a growing literature on paradoxes, tensions, and duality and recently paradox theory has been proposed as an alternative meta-theoretical approach to problems that have previously been addressed by contingency theory or structural theories. The paradox theory reconceptualizes opposing poles of paradoxes, not as a tradeoff but as a duality where the opposing poles of the paradox are leveraged simultaneously and considered to be mutually dependent and mutually enabling. The track focuses on papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding of how tensions and paradoxes can be leveraged, enhanced, and honed to create new and frame-breaking opportunities, enhance their implementation, and acceptance, and ensure successful co-evolution of <a href="/t/complex_systems/" class="t-link">complex systems</a> in <a href="/t/dynamic_environments/" class="t-link">dynamic environments</a>.<br/> <br/> We will solicit excellent papers that will develop and expand this area. The papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory including innovation and implementation of <a href="/t/complex_systems/" class="t-link">complex systems</a>, tensions, paradoxes, complexity theory, institutional theory, innovation theories, <a href="/t/control/" class="t-link">control</a> theory, ambidexterity theory, <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> asymmetry theory, etc.<br/> <br/> Possible topics:<br/> <br/> How does paradox perspective change or alter our view of technology related dynamics in socio-technical systems?<br/> <br/> How does duality contribute to better management of socio-technical innovation?<br/> <br/> How do institutional logics shape development and implementation of <a href="/t/complex_systems/" class="t-link">complex systems</a>?<br/> <br/> How can technologies be designed to better leverage opposing poles of paradoxes?<br/> <br/> What is the role of technology in nesting and interweaving tensions/paradoxes?<br/> <br/> MINITRACK CHAIRS<br/> <br/> <a href="/p/sirkka_l_jarvenpaa/" class="p-link">Sirkka L.

Workshop on Non-Conventional Data-Access (NoCoDA 2012)<br/> In conjunction with ER 2012, Florence, Italy<br/> 15-18 October, 2012<br/> <br/> Web site: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/nocoda2012/<br/> <br/> Aim and Scope<br/> <br/> As more and more information becomes available to a growing multitude of people, the ways to access data are rapidly evolving as they must take into consideration, on one front, the kind of data available today and, on the other front, a new population of prospective users.<br/> <br/> As an example of the first front, data is scattered among very diverse sources and need to be retrieved, transformed and merged to provide valuable information, while search queries on semi- or totally un-<a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a> impose novel <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ling and access approaches.<br/> <br/> On the second front, ranked solutions to keyword-based searches is emerging as the standard paradigm for querying data <a href="/t/repositories/" class="t-link">repositories</a>, while recommendation applications tend even to anticipate <a href="/t/user_needs/" class="t-link">user needs</a> by automatically suggesting the information which is most appropriate to the preferences of the users and to the current situation. In addition, the availability of <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> information is increasingly exploited to better understand user intentions.<br/> <br/> This need on two opposite fronts has already originated a steadily growing set of proposals of non-conventional ways to access data while inheriting, where possible, the formidable equipment of methods, techniques and methodologies that have been produced in the <a href="/t/database/" class="t-link">database</a> field during the last forty years. These new proposals embrace the new challenges, suggesting fresh approaches to <a href="/t/data_access/" class="t-link">data access</a> that rethink fundamentally the traditional <a href="/t/information_access/" class="t-link">information access</a> methods in which SQL queries are posed against a known and rigid schema over a <a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a>base.<br/> <br/> This workshop welcomes contributions on the conceptual and <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> aspects of non-conventional methods for <a href="/t/data_access/" class="t-link">data access</a> and on their practical application to modern <a href="/t/data_and_knowledge_management/" class="t-link">data and knowledge management</a>.<br/> <br/> Topics of Interest<br/> <br/> Addressing the above challenges requires understanding the conceptual and <a href="/t/formal_aspects/" class="t-link">formal aspects</a> of non-conventional data-access as well as the practical aspects of <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> application in real-world scenarios.

Their use however is mainly limited to either the initial or end phases of the lifecycle, namely <a href="/t/business_model/" class="t-link">business model</a>ling and implementation, and their adoption is normally not characterised by an integrated and coherent end to end approach which systematically discovers the real-world <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> of business requirements, represents such <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> in <a href="/t/formal_ontologies/" class="t-link">formal ontologies</a> and subsequently grounds the <a href="/t/software_design/" class="t-link">software design</a> and implementation ontologically. What is also lacking is a sound approach to ontological reuse such that existing ontological patterns be used to drive the discovery of system requirements with the potential to more easily identifying previously developed <a href="/t/software_components/" class="t-link">software components</a> which can be <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a>ally mapped to those ontological patterns.<br/> <br/> Ontology-Driven Information Systems Engineering (ODISE, pronounced odyssey) concerns the practical and formal application of <a href="/t/ontologies/" class="t-link">ontologies</a> to all phases of the <a href="/t/software_development/" class="t-link">software development</a> lifecycle. Contributions in the form of research, research-in-progress papers and practitioner reports are welcome. Of particular interest to the workshop are contributions that emphasise <a href="/t/formal_ontologies/" class="t-link">formal ontologies</a> and real world <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> in improving IS engineering and contributing toward developing <a href="/t/software/" class="t-link">software</a> that is more adaptive and responsive to changing business requirements.<br/> <br/> This workshop is aimed at discussing the above themes and to bring together academics, researchers and practitioners (with a background in IS engineering and/or <a href="/t/ontology/" class="t-link">ontology</a> development) in order to develop an agenda of future collaborations that combine research and industrial expertise.<br/> <br/> Topics for contributions include, but are not limited to:<br/> <br/> - Ontology as a means to inform the process of gathering requirements.<br/> - Ontology as a means to inform architecture development directly from <a href="/t/requirements_specifications/" class="t-link">requirements specifications</a>.<br/> - Ontology as a means to inform the <a href="/t/software_design/" class="t-link">software design</a> directly from the architecture specification.<br/> - Ontology as a means to <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> the <a href="/t/software_development/" class="t-link">software development</a> process and the <a href="/t/software_product/" class="t-link">software product</a> <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a>elf.<br/> <a href="/e/18113/137041/">[More...]</a> Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18113/137041/http://eventseer.net/e/18477/137037/<a href="/e/18477/137037/">[More...]</a> Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18477/137037/http://eventseer.net/e/18977/137033/CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS<br/> Proposal Submission Deadline: May 30, 2012<br/> Research and Design Innovations for Mobile User Experience<br/> A book edited by Dr. <a href="/p/kerem_rizvanoglu/" class="p-link">Kerem Rizvanoglu</a> (University of Galatasaray, Turkey)<br/> and Dr. Gorkem Cetin (Turkcell)<br/> <br/> To be published by IGI Global: http://bit.ly/IrAj1x<br/> <br/> Introduction<br/> Mobile user experience (UX) has gained momentum as a significant area of research in recent years. The emergences of mobile <a href="/t/human-computer_interaction/" class="t-link">human-computer interaction</a> (HCI) as a separate, unique field in HCI discipline with diverse academic activities and body of literature supports this idea. Although <a href="/t/mobile_devices/" class="t-link">mobile devices</a> allow users to stay connected anytime anywhere, diverse user groups still suffer from usability issues caused by the design of mobile <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s and the limitations of <a href="/t/mobile_devices/" class="t-link">mobile devices</a> (Kaikkonen, 2009). Although the mobile HCI community is trying to create and adapt re<a href="/t/search_methods/" class="t-link">search methods</a>, tools, and infrastructure for mobile-specific challenges and opportunities (Kjeldskov and Stage, 2004), there is still a limited number of studies on mobile UX, which addresses both researchers and professionals that work in the field of mobile HCI. Secondly, it is not so difficult to observe that the product managers in the sector of <a href="/t/mobile_communication/" class="t-link">mobile communication</a> often ignore usability issues and UX proces!<br/> ses because of time and budget limitations. However, when it comes to delivering innovation on <a href="/t/mobile_devices/" class="t-link">mobile devices</a>, new philosophies, researches, and approaches should be taken into consideration.<br/> <br/> Objective of the Book<br/> This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area. By including cutting-edge <a href="/t/empirical_studies/" class="t-link">empirical studies</a> and live cases from the professional sector, it intends to prepare a reference book for the mobile <a href="/t/human-computer_interaction/" class="t-link">human-computer interaction</a> community that will reveal key mobile user experience issues with solid data and guidelines and will support innovative mobile UX <a href="/t/design_process/" class="t-link">design process</a>es.<br/> <br/> Target Audience<br/> The target audience of this book will be professionals and researchers working in the field of mobile <a href="/t/human_computer_interaction/" class="t-link">human computer interaction</a> e.g mobile user experience and usability and mobile <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a> design. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support interaction/<a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a> designers, developers, product managers, UX and usability experts, digital <a href="/t/marketing_/" class="t-link">marketing </a>experts and digital strategists concerned with digital product and <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a> design.<br/> <br/> Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:<br/> Novel user <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s and interaction techniques<br/> <a href="/e/18977/137033/">[More...]</a> Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18977/137033/http://eventseer.net/e/18791/137030/The 2012 European Security Conference<br/> <br/> - Exploring emergent frontiers in identity and <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a> management<br/> <br/> The 3rd European Security Conference is scheduled for September 12-13, 2012 in Orebro, Sweden. The Conference is an European extension of the Annual Security Conference that has been held in Las Vegas (USA) for over a decade. The conference attracts a nice mix of participants from academia, <a href="/t/government/" class="t-link">government</a> and industry. Co-organizers for the European 2012 event are Orebro University, <a href="/i/lulea_university/" class="i-link">Lulea University</a> of Technology, Information Institute and <a href="/i/virginia_commonwealth_university/" class="i-link">Virginia Commonwealth University</a>. Administrative office for the conference is at Orebro University.<br/> <br/> The theme of the 2012 event is identity and <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a> management. With widespread use of Internet based technologies and the general virtualization of work, the manner in which individuals identify with organizations and the relation enterprises might have with individuals is evolving. Such changes are defining the manner in which <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a> is handled, identity is protected and responsibility and accountability established.

The engineering of e.g., power plants or car manufacturing plants requires coordinated information exchange between different engineering disciplines (e.g., process, mechanical, electrical, and <a href="/t/software_engineering/" class="t-link">software engineering</a>), which is complex and hard to achieve using traditional <a href="/t/systems_engineering/" class="t-link">systems engineering</a> techniques. Well-established <a href="/t/software_engineering/" class="t-link">software engineering</a> methods and approaches (e.g., iterative <a href="/t/development_process/" class="t-link">development process</a>es, issue <a href="/t/tracking_system/" class="t-link">tracking system</a>s) could provide additional value to <a href="/t/systems_engineering/" class="t-link">systems engineering</a> projects, but require careful integration and seamless collaboration with other engineering fields to achieve industrial acceptance.<br/> Today's <a href="/t/system_integration/" class="t-link">system integration</a> technologies are suitable to bridge most of the technical and <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> gaps between these automation <a href="/t/systems_engineering/" class="t-link">systems engineering</a> tools. However, error-prone and time-consuming human work (e.g., manually copying information from one to another tool) is needed to handle integration concerns at the <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s of different engineering disciplines as each of them has their specific <a href="/t/engineering_tools/" class="t-link">engineering tools</a> and <a href="/t/engineering_systems/" class="t-link">engineering systems</a>.

As eScience is inherently collaborative, <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> can serve as a vital means for supporting information and <a href="/t/resource_sharing/" class="t-link">resource sharing</a>, aiding discovery of connected researchers, improving communication between globally dispersed individuals, and even measuring scientific impact. Consequently, eScience systems are increasingly integrating <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> concepts to improve collaboration. For example, researcher profiles and groups exist in publication <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>, such as Google scholar and Mendeley, and eScience infrastructures, such as MyExperiment, NanoHUB and GlobusOnline all utilize <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> principles to enhance scientific collaboration. In addition to incorporating explicit <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, eScience infrastructures can also leverage implicit <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> extracted from relationships expressed in collaborative activities (e.g. publication authorship or citation <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>).<br/> <br/> This workshop aims to bring together researchers from a diverse range of areas to establish a new community focused on the application of <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> to analyze and improve scientific collaboration. There are two complementary areas of focus for this workshop 1) how to efficiently share information, infrastructure and <a href="/t/software/" class="t-link">software</a> resources, such as data and tools through <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, and 2) how to analyze and enhance scientific collaboration through implicit and explicit <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, for example analyzing scientific impact through citation <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> or improving collaboration by associating data and tools with <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> of publications and researchers.<br/> <br/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> WORKSHOP SCOPE<br/> <a href="/e/18834/137076/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18834/137076/http://eventseer.net/e/18765/137015/<a href="/e/18765/137015/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18765/137015/http://eventseer.net/e/18137/137013/DEADLINE EXTENSION - ILP 2012 - The 22nd International Conference on<br/> Inductive Logic Programming<br/> Dubrovnik, Croatia, September 17-19, 2012<br/> <br/> --------DEADLINE EXTENSION---------<br/> May 14: Abstracts of long papers due<br/> May 18: Long papers due<br/> <br/> http://ida.felk.cvut.cz/ilp2012<br/> <br/> KEY DATES:<br/> June 4: Notification for long papers<br/> July 3: Short/published papers due<br/> July 24: Notification for short/published papers<br/> September 17-19: Conference<br/> <br/> INVITED SPEAKERS:<br/> Luc de Raedt: Declarative Modelling for Machine Learning<br/> <a href="/p/ben_taskar/" class="p-link">Ben Taskar</a>: Geometry of Diversity and Determinantal Point Processes:<br/> <a href="/e/18137/137013/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18137/137013/http://eventseer.net/e/18974/137004/9th International Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ATNAC) 7-9th November, 2012 Brisbane, Queensland, Australia<br/> www.atnac.org<br/> With the increasing number of emerging robust <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>, the challenge to design new <a href="/t/networking/" class="t-link">networking</a> protocols and techniques are never ending.

BPI refers to the application of various techniques for analyzing event data recorded during process execution. In practice, BPI is embodied in tools that offer several features such as analysis, prediction, monitoring, <a href="/t/control/" class="t-link">control</a>, and <a href="/t/optimization/" class="t-link">optimization</a> of <a href="/t/business_processes/" class="t-link">business processes</a>. Many researchers and practitioners have developed methods, tools and techniques for BPI, but this is just the beginning of a new and exciting area.<br/> <br/> In this challenge, we provide participants with a real-life event log, and we ask them to analyze these data using whatever techniques available, documenting their findings in one of two ways:<br/> <br/> 1) The participants can focus on a specific aspect of interest and analyze this aspect in great detail. Here, one can choose for example to focus on specific <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, such as <a href="/t/control/" class="t-link">control</a>-flow <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, <a href="/t/social_network/" class="t-link">social network</a> <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, <a href="/t/performance_models/" class="t-link">performance models</a>, predictive <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, etc.<br/> <br/> 2) The participants may report on a broader range of aspects, where each aspect does not have to be developed in full detail. The report submitted in this category will be judged on <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> completeness of analysis and usefulness for the purpose of a real-life business improvement setting.<br/> <br/> A jury will decide which report is best and the winning participant in each category will receive a prize! Furthermore, all submissions of sufficient quality will be given the opportunity to publish a two-page summary of their findings in the proceedings of the BPI workshop.<br/> <br/> We strongly encourage people to use any tools, techniques, methods at their disposal. There is no need to restrict to open-source tools, and proprietary tools as well as techniques developed or implemented specifically for this challenge are welcome.<br/> <a href="/e/18973/136991/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18973/136991/http://eventseer.net/e/18972/136990/<a href="/e/18972/136990/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18972/136990/http://eventseer.net/e/18971/136987/<a href="/e/18971/136987/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18971/136987/http://eventseer.net/e/18970/136986/<a href="/e/18970/136986/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18970/136986/http://eventseer.net/e/18969/136985/Call for Papers<br/> <br/> Paper submission deadline: May 16, 2012<br/> <br/> International Workshop on Migrating Legacy Applications to Service<br/> Oriented Systems, MILES-2012<br/> <br/> http://eidwt-miles2012.aii.pub.ro/<br/> <br/> In conjunction with EIDWT - 2012 (The 3rd International Conference on<br/> Emerging Intelligent Data and Web Technologies), sponsored by Cisco<br/> Systems Inc. and Intel Romania<br/> <br/> 19 - 21 September 2012, Bucharest, ROMANIA<br/> <br/> The papers will be published with <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> CPS and the proceedings will be<br/> submitted for inclusion in <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> Xplore and Computer Society Digital<br/> Library CSDL.<br/> <br/> Aims and scope<br/> <br/> Software development registers a clear shift towards <a href="/t/service_provisioning/" class="t-link">service provisioning</a>,<br/> discovery and composition, supporting <a href="/t/data_processing/" class="t-link">data processing</a> and storage, legacy<br/> <a href="/e/18969/136985/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18969/136985/http://eventseer.net/e/18968/136979/********************* CALL FOR PAPERS *********************<br/> <br/> SUBMISSION DUE DATE: November 1, 2012<br/> <br/> SPECIAL ISSUE ON Information Technology and Homeland Security<br/> <br/> International Journal of E-Politics (IJEP)<br/> <br/> <a href="/p/guest_editor/" class="p-link">Guest Editor</a>s:<br/> <br/> Prof. <a href="/p/christopher_g_reddick/" class="p-link">Christopher G.

Traditionally, a <a href="/t/data_warehouse/" class="t-link">data warehouse</a> has been a historical (and relatively static)<br/> repository of data collected from a wide variety of <a href="/t/heterogeneous_data/" class="t-link">heterogeneous data</a> sources by means of Extraction-Transformation-Loading (ETL) processes. The widespread deployment of both DWs and OLAP technologies<br/> is due to the intuitive representation of data provided to data analysts or managers in support of management decisions. Recently, the trend is that DWs become more and more dynamic, with near-real-time<br/> updates, and include more complex types of data.<br/> <br/> Research in <a href="/t/data_warehousing/" class="t-link">data warehousing</a> and OLAP has produced important technologies for the design, management and use of <a href="/t/information_systems/" class="t-link">information systems</a> for <a href="/t/decision_support/" class="t-link">decision support</a>. Much of the interest and success in this area can be<br/> attributed to the need for <a href="/t/software/" class="t-link">software</a> and tools to improve <a href="/t/data_management/" class="t-link">data management</a> and analysis given the large amounts of information that are being accumulated in corporate as well as <a href="/t/scientific_data/" class="t-link">scientific data</a>bases.<br/> Nevertheless, the high maturity of these technologies as well as new data and applications needs not only demand more capacity, but also new methods, <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, techniques, or architectures to satisfy these new needs.<br/> Some of the hot topics in <a href="/t/data_warehouse/" class="t-link">data warehouse</a> research include <a href="/t/distributed_data/" class="t-link">distributed data</a> warehouses, web warehouses, <a href="/t/data_streams/" class="t-link">data streams</a>, <a href="/t/real-time_data/" class="t-link">real-time data</a> warehouses, GIS/<a href="/t/location-based_services/" class="t-link">location-based services</a>, <a href="/t/biomedical/" class="t-link">biomedical</a> data,<br/> <a href="/e/18967/136975/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18967/136975/http://eventseer.net/e/15931/136972/<a href="/e/15931/136972/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/15931/136972/http://eventseer.net/e/18966/136971/----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> Apologies if you receive this more than once.<br/> Please re-post to interested audiences.<br/> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> 11th International Conference on Grammatical Inference<br/> <br/> ICGI 2012<br/> <br/> 5-8 September, 2012 Washington<br/> <br/> http://snowball.cs.umbc.edu/icgi2012/<br/> <br/> CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS<br/> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> ICGI 2012 is the 11th edition of the International Conference on Grammatical<br/> Inference series.<br/> <br/> The conference will be held in the heart of the Baltimore/Washington<br/> corridor at the University of Maryland in College Park.<br/> <br/> The Short Paper Session is an opportunity for presenting late-breaking<br/> <a href="/e/18966/136971/">[More...]</a> Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18966/136971/http://eventseer.net/e/18785/136968/ UAI 9th Bayesian Modeling Applications Workshop<br/> <br/> Call for Papers<br/> Saturday, August 18, 2012, Catalina Island<br/> <br/> www.abnms.org/uai2012-apps-workshop<br/> <br/> Due to requests, extended submission deadline is *Saturday19th May*.<br/> <br/> Special theme: Temporal Modeling<br/> <br/> The 9th Bayesian Modeling Applications Workshop solic<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> submissions<br/> of real-world applications of <a href="/t/graphical_models/" class="t-link">graphical models</a> and Bayesian <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>,<br/> in particular those dealing with temporal <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing.

With the everyday growth of <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> websites like MySpace, <a href="/t/facebook_1/" class="t-link">Facebook</a>, LinkedIn and Google Plus, and even other websites providing <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s (e.g. YouTube, Wikipedia, eBay), a huge amount of information is shared among many users and also in-between hearers. Further, the huge number of visitors makes these websites extremely attractive to hackers, resulting in a huge <a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a> risk. Especially in cases that the <a href="/t/knowledge_base/" class="t-link">knowledge base</a> of the <a href="/t/network/" class="t-link">network</a> is more applicable to fraudulent activities, organizations and also individuals tend their information to be secure and fraud-free.<br/> <br/> Security and <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a> issue are entirely two different aspects however. Security issues highly regard to occasions when hackers gain unauthorized access to a base of protected information. On the other hand <a href="/t/privacy_issues/" class="t-link">privacy issues</a> do not necessarily involve <a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a> matters, while involving with unwarranted access of private information. In <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, the more a node reveals information, the higher the value of that node becomes. However the other life of <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> is rather than encouraging nodes to reveal their private information, they should safeguard that information and limit <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> <a href="/t/accessibility/" class="t-link">accessibility</a> for other nodes. This concern causes a challenging problem with the ever-growing of information and <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> fast spread. Obviously the process of securing such data is a responsibility of both the front-end (e.g. users should use SSL for their credit card transactions) and the back-end (e.g. the transaction servers should implement encoding and secure the <a href="/t/data_transfer/" class="t-link">data transfer</a>). Therefore !<br/> mechanisms for dealing with user/actor <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a> are needed to ensure the information transactions in a secure way. In addition, such mechanisms should be able to capture fraudulent activities, either being the misuse of credit cards, or the suspicious interactions between nodes which may lead to a terrorist attack. For these purposes and in order to create such mechanism, a lot of techniques may be applicable, originated from Machine Learning, Data Mining, Marketing, Social Sciences, Networking and Security, etc.<br/> <br/> ----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> TOPICS OF INTEREST<br/> ----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> The main goals of the workshop are: (1) to create a platform to discuss latest issues, trends, solutions, and cutting-edge research strategies in <a href="/t/security_and_privacy/" class="t-link">security and privacy</a> in online <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>; (2) to bring researchers who are working on issues related to <a href="/t/security_and_privacy/" class="t-link">security and privacy</a> on the Internet, and those studying online <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, to discuss the problems that overlap and bring these two areas together.<br/> Of the very huge list of topics that fall into the category of Cyber<a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a> of Online Social Networks, the scope of the 1st international workshop on Cyber<a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a> of Online Social Networks includes but not limited to the following topics:<br/> <a href="/e/18056/136915/">[More...]</a> Sun, 06 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18056/136915/http://eventseer.net/e/18046/136914/[Apologies for multiple postings]<br/> <br/> CFP Workshop on Trust in Social Networks (WTSON2012)<br/> August 26, 2012, Istanbul Turkey<br/> <br/> NEW DATES: Paper submissions due: May 18, 2012<br/> <br/> http://www.cs.rpi.edu/wtson2012<br/> <br/> Online <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> (OSN) are increasingly being used as places where communities gather to exchange information, form opinions, collaborate in response to events like disasters or even social movements like the Arab Spring or Occupy Wall Street. OSNs both serve as places that bring communities together and as places where new communities are formed. These <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> enable large scale and fast communication that has not been possible in the past. As a result, the <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> are an ever changing medium of exchange.<br/> <br/> Participants face many challenges, particularly with respect to <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>. Trust is a crucial component of social relationships. It allows individuals to share privileged information or take actions that involve risk. When can information found on social media be <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>ed? Information typically travels very fast and becomes common wisdom before any <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>ed authorities can verify it. Who can be <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>ed to accomplish specific tasks? What are some important cues in deter<a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>? Can these cues be manipulated? How can online <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> be protected against malicious activities?<br/> <br/> This workshop aims to bring together researchers who study the role <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> plays in online <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>. Our aim is to study <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> from various perspectives, bridging cutting edge research in social science, <a href="/t/psychology/" class="t-link">psychology</a>, <a href="/t/cognitive_science/" class="t-link">cognitive science</a> and <a href="/t/computer_science/" class="t-link">computer science</a> to develop a new understanding of <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> in today's highly connected communities. We invite papers that study <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> from a broad perspective and develop tools to understand, measure or enhance <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>.<br/> <br/> Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:<br/> - Modeling and measuring <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>, dis<a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> and mis<a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a><br/> - Modeling <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a><br/> - Modeling evolution of <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a><br/> - Experimental methods to measure <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a><br/> - Impact of <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> on information propagation<br/> - Impact of <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> on formation of memes, trends, movements<br/> <a href="/e/18046/136914/">[More...]</a> Sun, 06 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18046/136914/http://eventseer.net/e/18247/136908/CALL FOR WORK IN PROGRESS PAPERS<br/> <br/> QUATIC 2012 - 8th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology<br/> <br/> Lisbon, Portugal, 3 to 6 September 2012<br/> <br/> http://2012.quatic.org<br/> <br/> SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 28<br/> <br/> GOALS AND SCOPE<br/> <br/> The International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology (QUATIC) serves as a forum for disseminating advanced methods, techniques and tools for supporting quality approaches to ICT engineering and management.

These processes become even more complicated when decision makers are not engaged in face-to-face deliberations. Understanding the challenges, complexity, and rewards of the use of technology in the decision-making processes of virtual groups is important. Such an understanding is not only important in deter<a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> the efficacy of virtual groups and their organizations, but also significant to the designing of electronic collaborative activities and technologies.<br/> This book will focus on the elements of decision-making processes and activities in organizations, and the role of technology in such processes and activities. It will become an important resource for instructors and students of organization and <a href="/t/group_communication/" class="t-link">group communication</a>, and institutions that have <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> of offices and employees in multiple geo<a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>ical locations.<br/> <br/> Objective of the book<br/> This book is designed to solicit research from both scholars and practitioners who are at the intersection between technology and organizations. It seeks to pull together scholarly work on how technology affects the decision-making processes of <a href="/t/virtual_team/" class="t-link">virtual team</a>s. By bringing this body of work together, both academics and management teams will have access to current research in the field of <a href="/t/virtual_team/" class="t-link">virtual team</a>s, and how they can effectively use collaborative technologies to their advantage.

Causal discovery is a growing and<br/> exciting field of research which aims to infer causal relationships between<br/> variables from empirical data. The key challenge in causal discovery is to<br/> predict the results of interventions, i.e. the effect of an externally<br/> induced change on a system, such as prescribing a medical treatment, influencing<br/> consumer behavior, altering environmental policy, or knocking out a gene.<br/> This goes beyond the standard prediction task in <a href="/t/machine_learning/" class="t-link">machine learning</a> and signal<br/> <a href="/e/18742/136674/">[More...]</a> Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18742/136674/http://eventseer.net/e/17997/136671/Call for Papers<br/> <br/> DEADLINE EXTENDED TO May 18th, 2012<br/> <br/> The Sixth <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> International Conference on Semantic Computing (<a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> ICSC 2012)<br/> September 19th- 21st, 2012<br/> Palermo, Italy<br/> <br/> http://icsc2012.pa.icar.cnr.it/<br/> <br/> The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation of <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> information from content and the connection of <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> to knowledge, where "content" may be anything including video, audio, text, processes, <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s, hardware, <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>, etc.<br/> <br/> The Sixth <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC 2012) continues to foster the growth of a new research community.

It can be expected that using Semantic (Web) technologies in general and Linked Data in particular can mature the area of digital archiving and preservation, as well as technologically tighten the natural bond between <a href="/t/digital_libraries/" class="t-link">digital libraries</a> and digital archives, which are approaching this topic from different views (e.g., there might be promising combinations of pertinence and provenance <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s since those are traditionally the prevailing knowledge organization principles of the library and archiving community, respectively). Semantic representations of <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a>ual knowledge about <a href="/t/cultural_heritage/" class="t-link">cultural heritage</a> objects enhance organization and access of data and knowledge. In order to achieve a comprehensive investigation, the information seeking and document triage behaviors of users hav!<br/> e to be included in the research as well. For the purpose of a comprehensive investigation of the topic, it is intended to bring together the <a href="/t/digital_libraries/" class="t-link">digital libraries</a> community, the digital archiving community and the <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> technologies community. This full day workshop will be an exciting opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization. We also explicitly encourage a closer dialogue between the technical oriented communities with people from the (digital) humanities and social sciences, as well as <a href="/t/cultural_heritage/" class="t-link">cultural heritage</a> institutions in general in order to approach the topic from all relevant angles and perspectives.<br/> <a href="/e/18944/136659/">[More...]</a> Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18944/136659/http://eventseer.net/e/18483/136657/1st International Workshop on Soft Computing Techniques in Cluster and Grid Computing Systems<br/> SCCG 2012 - http://www.fing.edu.uy/cluster/sccg<br/> <br/> Part of the Seventh International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing<br/> 3PGCIC - http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/3PGCIC-2012/<br/> <br/> November 12-14, 2012<br/> Victoria, Canada<br/> <br/> (Apologies for multiple posting)<br/> <br/> *Extended versions of the best papers selected to Special Issue on Soft Computing Techniques in Cluster and Grid Computing Systems*<br/> *Cluster Computing, The Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications (2010 Impact Factor: 0.679)*<br/> *Indexed on JCR/SE, SCI, SCOPUS, INSPEC, Google Scholar, EBSCO, CSA, <a href="/i/acm/" class="i-link">ACM</a> Digital Library, CSI, DBLP, and others*<br/> <br/> *Submission Deadline: May 15, 2012*<br/> <br/> WORKSHOP CHAIRS<br/> <a href="/p/sergio_nesmachnow/" class="p-link">Sergio Nesmachnow</a>, <a href="/i/universidad_de_la_republica/" class="i-link">Universidad de la Republica</a>, Uruguay<br/> Bernabe Dorronsoro, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg<br/> <br/> Publicity chair: Santiago Iturriaga, <a href="/i/universidad_de_la_republica/" class="i-link">Universidad de la Republica</a>, Uruguay<br/> <a href="/e/18483/136657/">[More...]</a> Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18483/136657/http://eventseer.net/e/18714/136656/<a href="/e/18714/136656/">[More...]</a> Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18714/136656/http://eventseer.net/e/18943/136648/The International workshop on Signal Image Processing and Multimedia (SIPM-2012)<br/> <br/> * Audio, image, video processing<br/> * Digital Multimedia Broadcasting<br/> * Education and Training<br/> * Multimedia analysis and Internet<br/> * Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence<br/> * Multimedia Applications<br/> * Multimedia Communication and Networking<br/> * Multimedia Content Understanding<br/> * Multimedia Databases and File Systems<br/> * Multimedia human-machine <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a> and interaction<br/> * Multimedia Interface and Interaction<br/> * Multimedia <a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a> and content protection<br/> * Multimedia Signal Processing<br/> * Multimedia <a href="/t/standards/" class="t-link">standards</a> and related issues<br/> <a href="/e/18943/136648/">[More...]</a> Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18943/136648/http://eventseer.net/e/18942/136647/Call for Papers: International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists IMECS 2013<br/> <br/> CFP: International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists IMECS 2013<br/> <br/> Draft Manuscript submission deadline: 8 December, 2012<br/> <br/> Camera-Ready papers &amp; registration deadline: 10 January, 2013<br/> <br/> IMECS 2013: Hong Kong, 13-15 March, 2013<br/> <br/> http://www.iaeng.org/IMECS2013<br/> <br/> The IMECS 2013 is organized by the <a href="/i/international_association_of_engineers_/" class="i-link">International Association of Engineers </a>(<a href="/i/iaeng/" class="i-link">IAENG</a>), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the <a href="/t/computer/" class="t-link">computer</a> scientists.

From the outset, classical <a href="/t/statistical_approaches/" class="t-link">statistical approaches</a> were used for neuro<a href="/t/image_analysis/" class="t-link">image analysis</a>, using known <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, offering good interpretability and the possibility to examine strength of hypotheses. Recently, however, analysis emphasis has changed towards data-driven (aka <a href="/t/machine_learning/" class="t-link">machine learning</a>/multi-variate <a href="/t/pattern_analysis/" class="t-link">pattern analysis</a>) approaches. By making minimal <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> assumptions, the <a href="/t/learning_algorithms/" class="t-link">learning algorithms</a> are generally tuned for optimal prediction performance, automation and speed.<br/> <br/> A debate has ensued between the two respective strands of researchers about the relative benef<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> and downsides of each approach. The critique of data-driven methods, voiced by practitioners of classical statistics, include lack of interpretability/meaningfulness, non-existent power calculation for <a href="/t/experimental_design/" class="t-link">experimental design</a>, and inability to deal with the "small N-large p" constraint. Conversely, users of data-driven methods point to the inappropriateness of the <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> choice for biological data, the arbitrariness of significance levels, and the post-hoc corrections for multiple hypothesis tests.<br/> <br/> The propose of this workshop is to bring together both approaches. The aim is to debate the strengths/weaknesses of classical statistical vs <a href="/t/machine_learning/" class="t-link">machine learning</a> methods, and establish the parameters that would bring together hypothesis and data-driven approaches. While this workshop is to be driven by the practical needs of neuroscience research, more fundamental research into methods is also envisaged. Simultaneously, we expect that the need for improved methods will spark substantial contributions towards Predictive Medicine, Translational Medicine and Interpretational Models of Disease. For this purpose we have invited well-known experts and researchers in neuroscience methodology and application, notably Will Penny, Tom Nichols and <a href="/p/eugene_duff/" class="p-link">Eugene Duff</a>.<br/> <br/> We seek extended abstracts discussing or developing new methods designed to link hypothesis generalisation, <a href="/t/experimental_design/" class="t-link">experimental design</a> and hypothesis validation.

The notion of LBD was first proposed by <a href="/p/don_r_swanson/" class="p-link">Don R. Swanson</a> over two decades ago when he postulated that two concepts (A, C) may be logically related through some intermediate concept (B), common to seemingly disjoint literatures. This seminal idea has largely influenced efforts towards LBD automation in the <a href="/t/biomedical/" class="t-link">biomedical</a> domain and LBD continues to be an integral part of the evolution of <a href="/t/biomedical/" class="t-link">biomedical</a> science. Primarily, LBD has been instrumental in supplementing and guiding scientific experiments that lead to innovations in diagnosis, treatment and preventions mechanisms.<br/> <br/> Much of the early LBD research however, relied almost entirely on Information Retrieval (IR) techniques, such as term and concept co-occurrence, to uncover unknown associations in the large volume of scientific literature now publicly available. Only recently has significant attention been devoted to <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>-based techniques that leverage Semantic Web technologies to exploit the meaning of associations between concepts to facilitate LBD. While generally more intuitive than IR techniques, the feasibility of <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>-based approaches has not been fully demonstrated. Many challenges still exist.

LMSs also permit instructors to incorporate <a href="/t/multimedia/" class="t-link">multimedia</a> elements, including audio, video, text, interactivity, and sequencing, thus allowing for the implementation of flexible <a href="/t/learning_environments/" class="t-link">learning environments</a> that can potentially meet the needs of diverse learners. Common examples of LMSs include Blackboard, Moodle and Sakai.<br/> <br/> LMSs are considered the most appropriate tools for supporting and enhancing all forms of teaching and learning, particularly in <a href="/t/higher_education/" class="t-link">higher education</a>. They are therefore being used extensively by <a href="/t/higher_education/" class="t-link">higher education</a> institutions all over the world as single integrated platforms for instructional activities ranging from augmenting face-to-face courses, through supporting hybrid courses, to implementing fully online (<a href="/t/distance_learning/" class="t-link">distance learning</a>) courses.<br/> <br/> In most <a href="/t/developing_countries/" class="t-link">developing countries</a> however, LMS use in <a href="/t/higher_education/" class="t-link">higher education</a> is still in <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> infancy despite that institutions are striving to apply existing technologies to help expand access to <a href="/t/education/" class="t-link">education</a> to meet increasing demands. One critical factor that is contributing to this situation of limited LMS adoption, or effective use, is the lack of a comprehensive and credible <a href="/t/knowledge_base/" class="t-link">knowledge base</a> on effective LMS use within developing country <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a>s. Though research literature abounds with issues pertaining to LMS use in <a href="/t/higher_education/" class="t-link">higher education</a>, most are based on developed world conditions and experiences, and it has been established that LMS implementation strategies that work well in the developed countries cannot easily be adopted and applied within the peculiar <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a>s of most <a href="/t/developing_countries/" class="t-link">developing countries</a>. Not surprisingly therefore, several LMS enabled learning initiatives in <a href="/t/developing_countries/" class="t-link">developing countries</a> have reportedly not been sustained due to ill-informed or inappropriate implementation strategies.

It is free and expandable with over 3,600 packages. However, it is not easy for beginners to find appropriate packages or functions to use for their <a href="/t/data_mining/" class="t-link">data mining</a> tasks. It is more difficult, even for experienced users, to work out the optimal combination of multiple packages or functions to solve their business problems and the best way to use them in the <a href="/t/data_mining/" class="t-link">data mining</a> process of their applications. This book aims to facilitate using R in <a href="/t/data_mining_applications/" class="t-link">data mining applications</a> by presenting real-world applications in various areas.<br/> <br/> Objective<br/> ---------<br/> This book will present around 20 applications on <a href="/t/data_mining/" class="t-link">data mining</a> with R. Each application is to be presented as one chapter, covering <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> background, business problems, <a href="/t/data_extraction/" class="t-link">data extraction</a> and exploration, data preprocessing, <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing, <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> evaluation, findings and <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> deployment. In this way, it will help readers to learn to solve real-world problems with a set of <a href="/t/data_mining/" class="t-link">data mining</a> techniques and then apply the techniques and methodologies in their own <a href="/t/data_mining/" class="t-link">data mining</a> projects. Code examples and sample data will be provided, so that readers can easily learn the techniques by running the codes by themselves.<br/> <br/> Target audience<br/> ---------------<br/> The audience includes data miners, analysts and R users from industry, and university students and researchers who are interested in <a href="/t/data_mining/" class="t-link">data mining</a> with R.<br/> <br/> Topics<br/> ------<br/> <a href="/e/18545/136553/">[More...]</a> Wed, 02 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18545/136553/http://eventseer.net/e/18029/136548/<a href="/e/18029/136548/">[More...]</a> Wed, 02 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18029/136548/http://eventseer.net/e/18469/136547/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> Apologies in advance for multiple received copies of the CFP.<br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> CALL FOR PAPERS<br/> <br/> Workshop UP-TO-US: User-Centric Personalized TV ubiquitOus and secUre Services<br/> <br/> July 4th, 2012<br/> Berlin, Germany<br/> <br/> http://www.euroitv2012.org/program/workshops/u2u/<br/> <br/> Held in con-junction with the 10th EuroiTV 2012 Conference.<br/> <br/> **** Paper Registration Deadline --- May 5th, 2012 ****<br/> <br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION<br/> --------------------<br/> The advances in digital TV technology enable a new <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> for <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a><br/> provisioning, moving from traditional broadcaster-centric TV <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s to<br/> <a href="/e/18469/136547/">[More...]</a> Wed, 02 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18469/136547/http://eventseer.net/e/18932/136543/*******************************************************************<br/> CALL FOR PAPERS<br/> <br/> Sixth <a href="/i/acm/" class="i-link">ACM</a> International Conference on<br/> Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM2013)<br/> <br/> February 4-8, 2013, Rome Italy<br/> http://wsdm2013.org/<br/> <br/> Co-Sponsored by <a href="/i/acm/" class="i-link">ACM</a> SIGIR, SIGKDD, SIGMOD and SIGWEB<br/> <br/> Submission deadline: August 7, 2012<br/> *******************************************************************<br/> <br/> WSDM (pronounced "wisdom") is one of the premier conferences covering<br/> research in the areas of search and <a href="/t/data_mining/" class="t-link">data mining</a> on the Web.

The ever-changing and conflicting world requires creative thinking, innovative ideas and implementations to stir us through competition, deal with challenges and to be successful. While creativity is seen as a human endeavour that cannot be fully replicated yet, there are certainly views and acknowledgement that support mechanisms and systems could aid the creative pursuit. Indeed research on creativity <a href="/t/support_systems/" class="t-link">support systems</a> is now an emerging field. Naturally multi-disciplinary in <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> nature, it is where advances and innovations are combined through a wide range of scientific, technological and management disciplines in systems practices. The KICSS conference aims to facilitate technology and knowledge exchange among researchers and practitioners in the field of knowledge science, <a href="/t/information_technology/" class="t-link">information technology</a>, systems science to enable creativity support and advance systems in aiding creativ!<br/> ity pursu<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a>.<br/> <br/> The 7th KICSS will be held in Melbourne, Australia and will continue the success of <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> previous organisation to further this exchange and collaboration among researchers and practitioners. The conference venue is located in the city centre close to the Melbourne <a href="/t/arts/" class="t-link">arts</a> precinct as well as the Federation Square, where innovation and creativity in all forms are showcased and celebrated.<br/> <br/> Topics<br/> *****<br/> This year, the 7th KICSS will focus on four key areas, where papers are called for to report latest developments and re<a href="/t/search_results/" class="t-link">search results</a>.

MediaEval 2012 focuses on aspects of <a href="/t/multimedia/" class="t-link">multimedia</a> including and going beyond visual content, such as, speech, language, audio and social factors. Participants carry out one or more of the tasks offered and submit runs to be evaluated. They then write up their results and present them at the MediaEval 2012 workshop.<br/> <br/> For each task, participants receive a task definition, task data and accompanying resources (dependent on task) such as shot boundaries, keyframes, visual features, speech transcripts and social <a href="/t/metadata/" class="t-link">metadata</a>. In order to encourage participants to develop techniques that push forward the state-of-the-art, a "required reading" list of papers will be provided for each task. Participation is open to all interested research groups. Please sign up via http://www.multimediaeval.org (regular sign up will remain open until 31 May).<br/> <br/> The following tasks are available to participants at MediaEval 2012:<br/> <br/> Placing Task<br/> This task involves automatically assigning geo-coordinates to Flickr videos using one or more of: Flickr <a href="/t/metadata/" class="t-link">metadata</a>, visual content, audio content, social information (Data: Creative Commons Flickr data, predominantly English language, extended from the 2011 data set.)<br/> <br/> Social Event Detection Task<br/> This task requires participants to discover events and detect media items that are related to either a specific social event or an event-class of interest. By social events we mean that the events are planned by people, attended by people and that the social media are captured by people. (Data: URLs of images and videos available on Flickr and other <a href="/t/internet/" class="t-link">internet</a> archives together with <a href="/t/metadata/" class="t-link">metadata</a>).<br/> <br/> Spoken Web Search Task<br/> This task involves searching FOR audio content WITHIN audio content USING an audio content query. It is particularly interesting for speech researchers in the area of spoken term detection. (Data: Audio from four different Indian languages and four South African languages. Each of the ca. 2000 data item is an 8 KHz audio file 4-30 secs in length.)<br/> <a href="/e/18929/136523/">[More...]</a> Wed, 02 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18929/136523/http://eventseer.net/e/18933/136564/(Apologies if you receive this more than one)<br/> <br/> Call for Papers: CompSust'12<br/> 3rd International Conference on Computational Sustainability<br/> <br/> Location: Biocenter, <a href="/i/university_of_copenhagen/" class="i-link">University of Copenhagen</a>, Copenhagen, Denmark<br/> Date: July 5-6, 2012 (master class held July 4, 2012)<br/> <br/> http://www.computational-<a href="/t/sustainability/" class="t-link">sustainability</a>.org/compsust12/<br/> <br/> CompSust&rsquo;12 focuses on computational methods for balancing<br/> environmental, economic, and societal needs for a sustainable future.<br/> Through talks, discussions, poster sessions, and invited talks, the<br/> conference program will investigate the major problem domains that<br/> impact global <a href="/t/sustainability/" class="t-link">sustainability</a>, those technologies and processes that<br/> offer the greatest opportunity to increase <a href="/t/sustainability/" class="t-link">sustainability</a> in these<br/> domains, and the fundamental computational methods that support these<br/> technologies and processes.

At the same time, many Web 2.0 platforms have been designed around crowdsourcing <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s that enable the functionality to be extended through community-developed applications or plugins. Here, potential <a href="/t/security_issues/" class="t-link">security issues</a> have gained particular attention among researchers. Recently, a number of researchers have also begun to look at the use of crowdsourcing to support the evaluation of not only <a href="/t/web_sites/" class="t-link">web sites</a> and their <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s but also various tools that form part of the design and <a href="/t/development_process/" class="t-link">development process</a>. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who have applied crowdsourcing in a diversity of ways in order that they may learn from the experience of others and to stimulate discussion with a view to fostering new research ideas.<br/> <br/> We welcome submissions on any topic related to crowdsourced <a href="/t/web_engineering/" class="t-link">web engineering</a>. The submissions should be in LNCS format and between 8 and 15 pages in length.

This special issue is designed to showcase multiple voices: graduate students, academics, professionals, community members, and other research partners are invited to share their experiences, insights, and concerns around research assistantships. There are few scholarly outlets dedicated to this research learning venue where research team members have the opportunity to acquire, practice, and enhance research knowledge and skills in environments that have the potential to be collaborative and participatory, yet sometimes become exploitative. Thus this special issue aims at bringing forward the multilayered complexities of research assistantships from different perspectives and across different disciplines.<br/> <br/> The purpose of this special issue is to cover substantially the topic of research assistantships and illustrate working opportunities, conditions, and challenges within research assistantships. The guest editors encourage themes related to research learning, mentoring, working dynamics, power issues, researcher identity, and communication between researchers and research assistants (and other team members). In addition, the guest editors welcome discussion regarding legal, ethical, and moral issues associated with the employment and <a href="/t/education/" class="t-link">education</a> of research assistants. The above listed themes are meant to be indicative and not restrictive.<br/> <br/> The Journal of Research Practice is aimed at researchers from many disciplines, so articles should be written in a style that is accessible across disciplines. Final articles are expected to be about 3000<br/> <br/> 6000 words. Creative formats are welcomed. Reviews of published material (up to 3000 words) will also be considered.<br/> <br/> Potential authors should consult the Journal<br/> <br/> s Web site for style instructions:<br/> <br/> http://jrp.icaap.org/index.php/jrp/about/submissions#authorGuidelines<br/> <br/> Proposals of about 500 words are invited. Authors of selected proposals will be requested to develop their proposals into manuscripts to be considered for the special issue. These manuscripts will undergo JRP<br/> <br/> s usual double-blind review process. Selected articles will be published, after any necessary revision.<br/> <br/> Important Dates<br/> <br/> July 15, 2012..............................................

OSNs both serve as places that bring communities together and as places where new communities are formed. These <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> enable large scale and fast communication that has not been possible in the past. As a result, the <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> are an ever changing medium of exchange.<br/> <br/> Participants face many challenges, particularly with respect to <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>. Trust is a crucial component of social relationships. It allows individuals to share privileged information or take actions that involve risk. When can information found on social media be <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>ed? Information typically travels very fast and becomes common wisdom before any <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>ed authorities can verify it.

The Social Web has turned information consumers into active contributors creating massive amounts of information. Finding relevant and interesting content at the right time and in the right <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a> is challenging for existing recommender approaches. At the same time, social systems by their very nature encourage interaction among users and with a variety of resources, thus generating new <a href="/t/sources_of_knowledge/" class="t-link">sources of knowledge</a> for <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a>. Users of social media on the Web often explicitly provide <a href="/t/personal_information/" class="t-link">personal information</a> or implicitly express preferences through their interactions with other users or with resources (e.g. tagging, friending, rating, commenting, etc.).<br/> <br/> New application areas for <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a> emerge with the popularity of the Social Web. Recommenders can not only be used to sort and filter Web 2.0 and <a href="/t/social_network/" class="t-link">social network</a> information, they can also support users in the <a href="/t/information_sharing/" class="t-link">information sharing</a> process, e.g., by recommending suitable tags during folksonomy development. There are also opportunities for novel recommender applications on the Social Web that directly involve humans in the recommendation process, for example, users or groups making recommendations to other users, or online multi-user <a href="/t/games/" class="t-link">games</a> leading to recommendations.<br/> <br/> These various new <a href="/t/sources_of_knowledge/" class="t-link">sources of knowledge</a> can be leveraged to improve recommendation techniques and develop new strategies which focus on social recommendation. This social layer can also be used as evidence on which to infer relationships and <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> levels between users for recommendation generation.<br/> <br/> Recommender systems technologies can assist social systems through increasing adoption and participation and sustaining membership. Through targeted and timely intervention which stimulates traffic and interaction, <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a> technology can play <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> role in sustaining the success of the Social Web.<br/> <br/> The goal of this workshop is to bring together researcher and practitioners to explore, discuss, and understand challenges and new opportunities for <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a> and the Social Web. Original contributions are solicited in all aspects of recommendation on the Social Web, including, but not limited to the following areas:<br/> <br/> * Social <a href="/t/network/" class="t-link">network</a> and folksonomy development: Recommending friends, tags, bookmarks, blogs, music, communities etc.<br/> * Leveraging <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s of user behavior on the Social Web for recommendation<br/> <a href="/e/18922/136432/">[More...]</a> Tue, 01 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18922/136432/http://eventseer.net/e/17716/136462/----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> MODELS 2012<br/> <a href="/i/acm/" class="i-link">ACM</a>/<a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> 15th International Conference<br/> on Model-Driven Engineering Language &amp; Systems<br/> <br/> Call for Submissions -- Satellite Events<br/> <br/> Workshops, Doctoral Symposium, Educator's Symposium,<br/> Exhibitions &amp; Demos, Models Gamification Contest<br/> <br/> Sept. 30th - Oct. 5th, 2012 - Innsbruck/AUSTRIA<br/> http://www.modelsconference.org<br/> <br/> DEADLINE: 26 July 2012<br/> -------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> We invite submissions to the following MODELS 2012 Satellite Events:<br/> <br/> WORKSHOPS:<br/> <br/> MODELS 2012 will host a number of workshops during the three days before<br/> the main conference.

Examples include the WWW, <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, biological <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>, <a href="/t/communication_networks/" class="t-link">communication networks</a>, food webs, and many others. The importance of being able to effectively mine and learn from such data is growing, as more and more structured and <a href="/t/semi-structured_data/" class="t-link">semi-structured data</a> is becoming available. Traditionally, a number of subareas have worked with <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> and learning from <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a> <a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a>, including communities in <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a> <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a>, learning from <a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a>, <a href="/t/statistical_relational_learning/" class="t-link">statistical relational learning</a>, <a href="/t/inductive_logic_programming/" class="t-link">inductive logic programming</a>, and, moving beyond subdisciplines in <a href="/t/computer_science/" class="t-link">computer science</a>, <a href="/t/social_network/" class="t-link">social network</a> analysis, and, more broadly <a href="/t/network/" class="t-link">network</a> science. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from a variety of these areas, and discuss commonality and differences in challenges faced, survey some of the different approaches, and provide a forum for to present and learn about some of the most cutting edge research in this area. As an outcome, we expect participants to walk away with a better sense of the variety of different tools available for <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a> <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> and learning, and an appreciation for some of the interesting emerging applications for <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> and learning from <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>s.<br/> <br/> The goal of this workshop will be to structure and explore the state-of-the-art algorithms and methods, to examine <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>-based <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s in the <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a> of real-world applications, and to identify future challenges and issues. In particular we are interested in the following topics:<br/> <br/> * Relationships between <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> and learning with <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>s and <a href="/t/statistical_relational_learning/" class="t-link">statistical relational learning</a><br/> <br/> * Relationships between <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> and learning with <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>s and <a href="/t/inductive_logic_programming/" class="t-link">inductive logic programming</a><br/> <br/> * Relationships between <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a> and learning with <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>s and algorithmic <a href="/t/graph_theory/" class="t-link">graph theory</a> and related fields<br/> <br/> * Kernel methods for <a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a><br/> <br/> * Probabilistic <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s for <a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a><br/> <br/> * Graph <a href="/t/mining/" class="t-link">mining</a><br/> <a href="/e/18920/136421/">[More...]</a> Mon, 30 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18920/136421/http://eventseer.net/e/16759/136420/Dear Colleagues,<br/> <br/> May 6th, the early registration deadline for the 50th anniversary conference of Computers and People Research, is fast approaching!

As Model-Based Development grows in popularity, the <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s used throughout a system&rsquo;s lifecycle are now core artefacts of modern <a href="/t/software_engineering/" class="t-link">software engineering</a> processes.<br/> <br/> By raising the level of abstraction and using concepts closer to the problem and application domain (rather than the solution and technical domain), <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s become core assets and reusable <a href="/t/intellectual_property/" class="t-link">intellectual property</a>. Thus it is worth the effort to maintain and evolve these <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, which brings to bear many of the same issues related to traditional <a href="/t/software/" class="t-link">software</a> artefacts. In other words, these <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s are subject to many kinds of changes, which range from rapidly evolving platforms to the evolution of the functionality provided by the systems for which they were developed. These modifications include changes at all levels, from requirements through <a href="/t/architecture_and_design/" class="t-link">architecture and design</a>, to executable <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, <a href="/t/documentation/" class="t-link">documentation</a> and <a href="/t/test_suite/" class="t-link">test suite</a>s.They typically affect various kinds of <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s including <a href="/t/data_models/" class="t-link">data models</a>, behavioural <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, domain <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, <a href="/t/source_code/" class="t-link">source code</a> <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, goal <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s, etc. Managing the changes that accompany the evolution of <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s is therefore essential to <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>-based Software Engineering as a d!<br/> iscipline.<br/> <br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <a href="/e/18912/136355/">[More...]</a> Mon, 30 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18912/136355/http://eventseer.net/e/18647/136354/<a href="/e/18647/136354/">[More...]</a> Mon, 30 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18647/136354/http://eventseer.net/e/16522/136347/ Call for Papers<br/> Special track on Metadata &amp; Semantics for Cultural Collections &amp; Applications<br/> http://www.ionio.gr/labs/dbis/mtsr2012/<br/> <br/> Part of the 6th International Conference on Metadata and Semantic Research (MTSR 2012),<br/> 28-30 November 2012 - Cadiz, Spain (http://mtsr2012.uca.es/).<br/> <br/> Submission deadline: July 20th, 2012<br/> Proceedings will be published in Springer CCIS series<br/> <br/> AIM AND SCOPE<br/> Cultural heritage collections are essential knowledge infrastructures that provide a solid representation of the historical background of human communities, the development of their linguistic idioms and artistic expression, while they constitute important instruments for the social and ethnic cohesion.<br/> <br/> The aim of this Special Track is to document the state-of-the-art in technologies and issues around cultural collections and back-end infrastructures.

How facts are grouped into structures (e.g. attribute-based entity types, classes, relation schemes, XML schemas) is considered a design level, implementation issue that is irrelevant to the capturing of essential business <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>. Avoiding attributes in the base <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> enhances <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> stability and populatability, as well as facilitating natural verbalization and thus more productive communication with all stakeholders. For <a href="/t/information_modeling/" class="t-link">information modeling</a>, fact-oriented <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>ical notations are typically far more expressive than those provided by other notations. Fact-oriented textual languages are based on formal subsets of native languages, so are easier to understand by business people than technical languages like OCL. Fact-oriented <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing includes procedures for mapping to attribute-based structures, so may also be used to front-end other approaches.<br/> <br/> Fact-oriented <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing has been used successfully in industry for over 30 years, and is taught in universities around the world. The fact-oriented <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing approach comprises a family of closely related "dialects", the most well known being Object-Role Modeling (ORM), Cognition enhanced Natural language Information Analysis Method (CogNIAM) and Fully-Communication Oriented Information Modeling (FCO-IM). Though adopting a different <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>ical notation, the Object-oriented Systems Model (OSM) is a close relative, with <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> attribute-free philosophy. The Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR) proposal adopted by the Object Management Group in 2007 is a recent addition to the family of fact-oriented approaches.<br/> <br/> Commercial tools supporting the fact-oriented approach include the ORM solution within <a href="/i/microsoft/" class="i-link">Microsoft</a>'s Visio for Enterprise Architects, the CogNIAM tool Doctool, the FCO-IM tool CaseTalk, and the Collibra <a href="/t/ontology/" class="t-link">ontology</a> tool suite. The NORMA (Natural ORM Architect) tool for ORM 2 is available as a free, open-source plug-in to Visual Studio; a commercial, professional version of NORMA is also under development. Free ORM tools include InfoModeler, Infagon, ActiveFacts, and ORM-Lite. DogmaStudio is an ORM-based tool for specifying <a href="/t/ontologies/" class="t-link">ontologies</a>. Various SBVR tools are also currently under development.

At the same time, many Web 2.0 platforms have been designed around crowdsourcing <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s that enable the functionality to be extended through community-developed applications or plugins. Here, potential <a href="/t/security_issues/" class="t-link">security issues</a> have gained particular attention among researchers. Recently, a number of researchers have also begun to look at the use of crowdsourcing to support the evaluation of not only <a href="/t/web_sites/" class="t-link">web sites</a> and their <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s but also various tools that form part of the design and <a href="/t/development_process/" class="t-link">development process</a>. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who have applied crowdsourcing in a diversity of ways in order that they may learn from the experience of others and to stimulate discussion with a view to fostering new research ideas.<br/> <br/> Papers may be related to any aspect of crowdsourced engineering.

In this workshop we intend to explore a very broad interpretation of <a href="/t/reasoning/" class="t-link">reasoning</a> with stories that may include: narratives, traces of user behaviors while interacting with a (<a href="/t/gaming/" class="t-link">gaming</a> or non-<a href="/t/gaming/" class="t-link">gaming</a>) system, presentations, and other environment interactions that can be represented as an event sequence.<br/> <br/> This workshop is intended to encompass a broad interest from within the CBR community and also outside (e.g. AI/<a href="/t/games/" class="t-link">games</a>, Textual CBR, ITS, <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a>, computational creativity and storytelling systems). The workshop's aim is to get a people from a broad set of backgrounds interested in thinking about their work from the perspective of story interpretation and <a href="/t/reasoning/" class="t-link">reasoning</a>, with the potential of allowing attendants to leverage work that they previously thought was more distantly-related to their own.<br/> <br/> Finally, the workshop intends to discuss the relation of episodes (and episodic <a href="/t/memory/" class="t-link">memory</a>) with stories and cases. Stories can be seen as a narrative description of an episode, or the creative combination of several episodes, while textual CBR can be seen as understanding a textual description of an episode as a case. Thus the relationship between stories, episodes, and cases can be of particular interest for discussion.<br/> <br/> === Aims and Objectives ===<br/> <br/> The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for the discussion concerning the conceptual foundation, the research issues and the practical experiences relation to stories and cases, including the roles of episodic <a href="/t/memory/" class="t-link">memory</a> and <a href="/t/analogy/" class="t-link">analogy</a> in both of them.<br/> <br/> We particularly welcome for this workshop contributions in areas that include, but are not limited to, the following:<br/> <br/> - On the relation of stories vs. episodic <a href="/t/memory/" class="t-link">memory</a> vs. cases<br/> - Explaining or interpreting sequential episodes and cases<br/> - The role of <a href="/t/analogy/" class="t-link">analogy</a> in stories and cases<br/> - CBR and cases in story generation<br/> <a href="/e/18899/136105/">[More...]</a> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18899/136105/http://eventseer.net/e/18898/136101/<a href="/e/18898/136101/">[More...]</a> Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18898/136101/http://eventseer.net/e/18659/136096/Call for papers:<br/> <br/> CGC2012 - 2012 International Conference on Cloud and Green Computing, 1-3 Nov. 2012, Xiangtan, <a href="/i/china/" class="i-link">China</a>.<br/> Website: http://kpnm.hnust.cn/confs/cgc2012/<br/> <br/> Theme: Cloud Computing and Big Data<br/> <br/> Key dates:<br/> Submission Deadline: May 30, 2012<br/> Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgc2012<br/> <br/> Publication:<br/> Proceedings will be published by <a href="/i/ieee/" class="i-link">IEEE</a> CS Press.<br/> <br/> Special issues:<br/> Distinguised papers will be selected for special issues in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Future Generation Computer Systems; or International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications.<br/> <br/> ===========<br/> Introduction<br/> <br/> Cloud <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a> is <a href="/t/positioning/" class="t-link">positioning</a> <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a>elf as a new emerging platform for delivering <a href="/t/information_infrastructure/" class="t-link">information infrastructure</a>s and resources as IT <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s.

Digital Object Memories (DOMe) comprise hardware and <a href="/t/software_components/" class="t-link">software components</a>, which together provide an open and universal platform for capturing, associating, and interacting with the digital information of connected objects - including storage, <a href="/t/documentation/" class="t-link">documentation</a> and provision of information concerning actions an object is or might be involved in.<br/> <br/> DOMe-IoT will continue an established workshop series on digital object memories. In 2012, <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> focus is on research issues related to agency and digital object memories. Things will be enabled to make suggestions and propositions to human users - which implies that an object may have a level of agency. The latter concept is a striking possibility that may change the way that we further relate to objects.<br/> <br/> *** Goals<br/> <br/> The goal of this workshop is twofold: 1.) initiate a conversation concerning the potential for objects to develop agency; and 2.) explore how data that is associated with an object may leverage real-world actions.

The novel idea behind this paradigm is to leverage social connections and social intelligence in <a href="/t/computer_systems/" class="t-link">computer systems</a> and applications in order to devise solutions. These social <a href="/t/computing_applications/" class="t-link">computing applications</a>/systems gather abundance of social information that when mined and analyzed will further enrich their <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s or help researchers understand many different things including social dynamics of people, wisdom of crowd, social construction and sharing of knowledge, etc. Novel techniques for information analysis, reuse, and integration are critical to make sense of social information. Systematic approaches, <a href="/t/design_principles/" class="t-link">design principles</a>, and evaluation strategies need to be researched for developing effective social <a href="/t/computing_applications/" class="t-link">computing applications</a>. Other challenges in social <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a> include accommodating <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a>, <a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a>, and <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> expectations of users. The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exc!<br/> hange ideas on the issues and challenges in social <a href="/t/computing_systems/" class="t-link">computing systems</a>. We invite research or position papers from researchers and practitioners working in<br/> any aspect of social <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a>.

This necessity has made that traditional <a href="/t/database_systems/" class="t-link">database systems</a> and processing need to evolve and accommodate them to this new situation. Two main ideas underneath this evolution is that this new external and internal data (i) needs to be stored in the <a href="/t/cloud/" class="t-link">cloud</a> and (ii) offers a set of <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s in order to be able to access to this data. Following this consideration, there have lately been several proposals (also called as the next generation of <a href="/t/database_systems/" class="t-link">database systems</a>) based on Hadoop and Hive systems (framework inspired by Google&rsquo;s MapReduce and Google File System).<br/> <br/> Therefore, this new conception of <a href="/t/cloud/" class="t-link">cloud</a> applications incorporating both internal and external Big data requires new <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s and methods to accomplish their <a href="/t/conceptual_modelling/" class="t-link">conceptual modelling</a> phase. Thus, the objective of MoDIC&rsquo;12 is to be an international forum for exchanging ideas on the latest and best proposals for the <a href="/t/conceptual_modeling/" class="t-link">conceptual modeling</a> surrounding this new data-drive paradigm with Big Data. Papers focusing on the application and the use of <a href="/t/conceptual_modeling/" class="t-link">conceptual modeling</a> approaches (e.g. based on EER, UML and so on) for Big Data, MapReduce, Hadoop and Hive, Big Data Analytics, <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a>, Security and <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a> data science, etc. will be highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in the different facets related to the use of the <a href="/t/conceptual_modeling/" class="t-link">conceptual modeling</a> approaches for the development of this next generation of applications based on these Big Data.<br/> <a href="/e/18411/135898/">[More...]</a> Wed, 25 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18411/135898/http://eventseer.net/e/18881/135884/INVITATION:<br/> <br/> =================<br/> Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish<br/> original scientific results to AMBIENT 2012.<br/> <br/> The submission deadline is set to May 18, 2012.<br/> <br/> In addition, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended article versions to one of the IARIA Journals:<br/> http://www.iariajournals.org<br/> <br/> =================<br/> <br/> ============== AMBIENT 2012 | Call for Papers ===============<br/> <br/> CALL FOR PAPERS, TUTORIALS, PANELS<br/> <br/> AMBIENT 2012, The Second International Conference on Ambient Computing, Applications, Services and Technologies<br/> September 23 - 28, 2012 - Barcelona, Spain<br/> <br/> General page: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2012/AMBIENT12.html<br/> <br/> Call for Papers: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2012/CfPAMBIENT12.html<br/> <br/> - regular papers<br/> <a href="/e/18881/135884/">[More...]</a> Wed, 25 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18881/135884/http://eventseer.net/e/18880/135880/[Apologies for cross-posting and re-posting]<br/> <br/> -----------------------------------------------------------<br/> OnToContent 2012 Call for Papers<br/> <br/> 8th International Workshop on Ontology Content (OnToContent 2012)<br/> Part of the OnTheMove Conferences &amp; Workshops<br/> 10-14 September 2012, Rome, Italy<br/> <br/> Website: http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/ontocontent2012<br/> <br/> **The workshop will host an invited talk by <a href="/p/aldo_gangemi/" class="p-link">Aldo Gangemi</a>, Laboratory for Applied Ontology, CNR, IT, on the topic "A Roadmap to Optimize Governmental Linked Data Design"<br/> <br/> CALL FOR PAPERS<br/> <br/> Semantics play an increasingly crucial role in large and complex <a href="/t/network/" class="t-link">network</a>ed <a href="/t/information_systems/" class="t-link">information systems</a>.

Moreover, many believe that nowadays <a href="/t/medical_knowledge/" class="t-link">medical knowledge</a> can be<br/> immediately applicable in case of illness, and cure illnesses also caused by bad hab<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a>, as technical<br/> knowledge can be used for repairing a broken car.<br/> <br/> This results in lifestyles that do not care about the negative long-terms effects on each individual<br/> person, but also on the environment. The most prominent example of this is represented by various<br/> types of chronic illnesses in developed countries that result from poor lifestyle choices (e.g.<br/> diabetes or heart diseases).<br/> <a href="/e/18874/135819/">[More...]</a> Wed, 25 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18874/135819/http://eventseer.net/e/18873/135803/Call for Papers: The Fourth International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2012), 5-7 December 2012, Lausanne, Switzerland<br/> <br/> http://socinfo2012.com/<br/> <br/> The International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo 2012) is an interdisciplinary venue for<br/> researchers from Computer Science, Informatics, Social Sciences and Management Sciences to share ideas and opinions, and present original research work on studying the interplay between socially-centric platforms and social phenomena. The ultimate goal of Social Informatics is to create better understanding of socially-centric platforms not just as a technology, but also as a set of social phenomena. To that end, we are inviting interdisciplinary papers, on applying <a href="/t/information_technology/" class="t-link">information technology</a> in the study of social phenomena, on applying social concepts in the design of <a href="/t/information_systems/" class="t-link">information systems</a>, on applying methods from the social sciences in the study of social <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a> and <a href="/t/information_systems/" class="t-link">information systems</a>, on applying computational algorithms to facilitate the study of social systems and human social dynamics, and on designing information and communication technologies that consider social <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a>.<br/> <br/> A special focus of SocInfo'2012 is on how technology can influence social phenomena through better <a href="/t/motivation/" class="t-link">motivation</a> of human agents, through the use of social norms, through better <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing, or through a better understanding of social concepts like <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a>, credibility, <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a>, and fairness. To this end we are especially inviting contributions demonstrating how behavioral theory can be formalized in agent-based <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s to study social dynamics. It is the expectation that this contributes to a further development of the social sciences with respect to studying and explaining various behavioral dynamics, such as opinion dynamics, social conflict, innovation diffusion, market dynamics, and crowd behavior. On the other hand, the creation of a coherent social behavioral <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> that is formulated as an <a href="/t/agent_system/" class="t-link">agent system</a> is a prerequisite for further development of socially-centric platforms and for the <a href="/t/testing/" class="t-link">testing</a> of new algorithms that use social concepts and attempt to realize social goals.<br/> <br/> The conference solic<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> original research papers and experience based case study papers.

This workshop aims at creating an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a> design issues for <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a> and promoting the collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners.<br/> <br/> As an interactive <a href="/t/intelligent_system/" class="t-link">intelligent system</a>, <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a> are developed to give recommendations which match users' preferences. Since the emergence of <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a>, a large majority of research focuses on objective accuracy criteria and less attention has been paid to how users interact with the system and the efficacy of <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a> designs from users' perspective. Well-designed user <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s have the capability of enhancing <a href="/t/user_interaction/" class="t-link">user interaction</a> experience and overall satisfaction. For example, explanation <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s can increase user confidence in their decision choices and inspire user <a href="/t/trust/" class="t-link">trust</a> and loyalty to the used system. Nowadays, a variety of novel recommendation technologies have been developed to meet different needs (e.g., group and social recommenders). Recommender systems have also extended to new application platforms (e.g., <a href="/t/mobile_devices/" class="t-link">mobile devices</a>). In addition, <a href="/t/heterogeneous_information/" class="t-link">heterogeneous information</a> resources have been incorporated into <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a> (e.g., psychological factors, social media). This brings forward new challenges in designing effective and efficient <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s for these new recommender applications.<br/> <br/> Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:<br/> <br/> &ndash; Explanation <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s<br/> <br/> &ndash; Context-aware <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s<br/> <br/> &ndash; Social <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s<br/> <a href="/e/18862/135708/">[More...]</a> Tue, 24 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18862/135708/http://eventseer.net/e/18861/135705/14th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS 2012)<br/> Oct. 1-4 2012, Toronto, Canada<br/> <br/> Submission deadline: 27th April 2012<br/> <br/> Special Track on Social Networks<br/> *********************************<br/> Online Social Networks have become the main communication medium of consumers, catering for almost the whole of all Web users. Current development indicates the establishment of a social layer, a fabric of <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s identifying the individual users, as well as their mutual interactions, covering all activities on the Web, and beyond. Data collection and behavioural tracking increasingly integrate not only content- and entertainment providers, but also off-line activities, with identification <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s like <a href="/t/facebook_1/" class="t-link">Facebook</a> and Google+. At the core of this social <a href="/t/overlay/" class="t-link">overlay</a>, the latter still represent centralized systems for massive <a href="/t/data_collection/" class="t-link">data collection</a> and analysis. They hence breed issues for the <a href="/t/security/" class="t-link">security</a> of users. These include threats to the <a href="/t/privacy/" class="t-link">privacy</a>, caused by centralized access to unparalleled collections of personally identifiable information. The risk of data leakage and data loss as well as the lack of availability due to the scale of the <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s, represent further open issues. Distribution of storage and <a href="/t/control/" class="t-link">control</a> is one promising, possible solution that has been proposed in the recent past.

To mine the scientific or commercial values hidden behind such big data, large-scale <a href="/t/data_processing/" class="t-link">data processing</a> techniques are required. Due to the rapid growth of data size, efficient <a href="/t/data_storage/" class="t-link">data storage</a> and analysis become more and more challenging. They require innovative storage technologies, scalable <a href="/t/processing_system/" class="t-link">processing system</a>, and operation schemas capable of managing PB-scale data.<br/> <br/> This MDSP 2012 workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on massive <a href="/t/data_storage/" class="t-link">data storage</a> and processing, such that the interactions among the experts of these areas can be promoted and new interdisciplinary technologies can be developed. The scope of the workshop includes both <a href="/t/data_storage/" class="t-link">data storage</a> and processing techniques involving massive data, as well as techniques for more specialized problems in, e.g., <a href="/t/scientific_computing/" class="t-link">scientific computing</a>, <a href="/t/database/" class="t-link">database</a>, <a href="/t/business_intelligence/" class="t-link">business intelligence</a>, statistics, and <a href="/t/health_care/" class="t-link">health care</a>.<br/> <br/> The workshop welcomes various different kinds of papers that could optimize the performance aspects of existing <a href="/t/data_storage/" class="t-link">data storage</a> and processing. The papers may address issues including novel architectures for massive <a href="/t/data_storage/" class="t-link">data storage</a> and processing, storage <a href="/t/networking/" class="t-link">networking</a>, storage virtualization, storage for complex <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a>, data pre-processing, Job scheduling for <a href="/t/computing/" class="t-link">computing</a> cluster, data scheduling.

Business Process Management (BPM) has been providing important technological support to improve organization competitiveness. In order to increase dynamism and competitiveness, BPM can benefit from reuse techniques and tools at several stages of <a href="/t/business_process/" class="t-link">business process</a> life cycle.<br/> <br/> The 3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management will be dedicated to explore any type of reuse in the BPM domain, taking into account both the results of research in academia and the results of applications in industry.<br/> <br/> It will be a forum to discuss systematic reuse applied to BPM at <a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> various levels and different life cycle stages, including:<br/> <br/> (1) basic <a href="/t/service-oriented/" class="t-link">service-oriented</a> foundation level: including <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a> development, description, publication, discovery, selection, <a href="/t/negotiation/" class="t-link">negotiation</a>, and aggregation;<br/> (2) management and monitoring upper level: including <a href="/t/business_process_modeling/" class="t-link">business process modeling</a>, execution, monitoring, administration, and <a href="/t/optimization/" class="t-link">optimization</a>.<br/> <br/> Moreover, the impact of reuse on business- and <a href="/t/service-oriented/" class="t-link">service-oriented</a> engineering as well as analyzing how it can help in the design of higher quality <a href="/t/process_model/" class="t-link">process model</a>s are very important topics to be discussed.<br/> <br/> Different existing reuse approaches and techniques can be extended to be applied to this fairly new domain, including: <a href="/t/software_product_line/" class="t-link">software product line</a> or <a href="/t/software_product/" class="t-link">software product</a> families; variability descriptors; <a href="/t/design_patterns/" class="t-link">design patterns</a> such as feature <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ing; aspect-orientation; and component-based development.

A second wave of innovation has been fueled by the explosive growth of web platforms that enable rich online social interactions, such as online <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, web communities, wikis, and mashups. These new applications go beyond personalized <a href="/t/information_access/" class="t-link">information access</a> and dissemination. Users can now transcend their role of passive content consumers and engage in content creation, sharing, and various forms of online collaboration as well. This online collaboration has recently moved to the next level through crowdsourcing: applications that enable users to help other users in completing their tasks.<br/> <a href="/e/18675/135354/">[More...]</a> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18675/135354/http://eventseer.net/e/13090/135351/ICML 2012, the 29th International Conference on Machine Learning,<br/> is in Edinburgh, Scotland, from June 26 to July 1, 2012. http://icml.cc<br/> <br/> There are two programs that provide financial support for students who<br/> attend ICML.

Traditional, often monolithic knowledge <a href="/t/system_architecture/" class="t-link">system architecture</a>s need to be redesigned due to technological progress manifested by, for example, social media, <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> sites, mashups, <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> technologies, and ubiquitous information and communication technologies. In our view, these redesigns lead to a new class of knowledge systems that we call "Next Generation Knowledge Systems." Furthermore, <a href="/t/project_management/" class="t-link">project management</a> involved in the design and deployment of knowledge systems differs from the <a href="/t/project_management/" class="t-link">project management</a> involved in traditional <a href="/t/information_systems/" class="t-link">information systems</a> projects. Examples abound in the literature about knowledge systems deployment efforts that failed because (1) the business <a href="/t/culture/" class="t-link">culture</a>s did not encourage and reinforce <a href="/t/knowledge_sharing/" class="t-link">knowledge sharing</a> and (2) the necessary <a href="/t/organizational_change/" class="t-link">organizational change</a> could not be implemented. Such failures could often have been avoided if (1) more balanced efforts between the design and deployment of knowledge systems had been implemented and (2) the design and deployment efforts had been managed through coordinated design and deployment projects. Deployment projects have a crucial role in implementing organizational and social changes. Yet, deployment is often considered only as a phase in larger design-driven projects. Eventually, more and more workplaces are being taken over by young, <a href="/t/computer/" class="t-link">computer</a>-savvy employees who see technology as an integral part of their life. These so-called "Digital Natives" change the way in which <a href="/t/knowledge_management/" class="t-link">knowledge management</a> and collaboration within and across organizations take place. They follow the "instant-on" mentality to adapt and use modern communication tools such as <a href="/t/facebook_1/" class="t-link">Facebook</a> and Twitter, which were originally not designed for the workplace, and mobile phones in innovative ways wherever they are during on- and off-work hours. Thus, digital natives draw upon and contribute to organizational and societal change processes by adapting and deploying next generation knowledge systems in organizational knowledge processes and structures.<br/> <a href="/e/18841/135340/">[More...]</a> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18841/135340/http://eventseer.net/e/18840/135331/<a href="/e/18840/135331/">[More...]</a> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18840/135331/http://eventseer.net/e/18839/135330/The Fourth Workshop of Knowledge Management &amp; E-Learning<br/> <br/> - by Faculty Research Theme (FRT) on Knowledge Management<br/> <br/> Multidisciplinary Research on Education<br/> <br/> 1.

Yet there seems to be a general consensus that this criterion alone is far from being enough to assess the practical effectiveness of a <a href="/t/recommender_system/" class="t-link">recommender system</a> in matching <a href="/t/user_needs/" class="t-link">user needs</a>. The <a href="/t/end_users/" class="t-link">end users</a> of recommendations receive lists of items rather than rating values, whereby recommendation accuracy metrics -as surrogates of the evaluated task- should target the quality of the item selection, rather than the numeric system scores that determine this selection. Gaps in the adoption of ranking evaluation methodologies (e.g. IR metrics) result in methodological divergences though, which hinder the interpretation and comparability of empirical observations by different authors.<br/> <br/> On the other hand, accuracy is only one among several relevant dimensions of recommendation effectiveness. Novelty and diversity, for instance, have been recognized as key aspects of recommendation utility in many application domains. From the business point of view, the value added by recommendation can be measured more directly in terms of clickthrough, conversion rate, order size, returning customers, increased revenue, etc. Furthermore, <a href="/t/web_portals/" class="t-link">web portals</a> and <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> commonly face multiple objective <a href="/t/optimization_problems/" class="t-link">optimization problems</a> related to user engagement, requiring appropriate evaluation methodologies for optimizing along the entire recommendation funnel. Other potentially relevant dimensions of effective recommendations for consumers and providers include confidence, coverage, risk, cost, <a href="/t/robustness/" class="t-link">robustness</a>, etc.<br/> <br/> While the need for further extension, formalization, clarification and standardization of evaluation methodologies is recognized in the community, this need is still unmet for a large extent. When engaging in evaluation work, researchers and practitioners are still often faced with <a href="/t/experimental_design/" class="t-link">experimental design</a> questions for which there are currently not always precise and consensual answers. RUE 2012 aims to gather researchers and practitioners interested in developing better, clearer, and/or more complete evaluation methodologies for <a href="/t/recommender_systems/" class="t-link">recommender systems</a> -or just seeking clear guidelines for their experimental needs. The workshop aims to provide an informal setting for exchanging and discussing ideas, sharing experiences and viewpoints, seeking to advance in the consolidation and convergence of experimental methods and practice.<br/> <br/> Topics<br/> <br/> ------<br/> <br/> We invite the submission of papers reporting original research, studies, advances, experiences, or work in progress in the scope of <a href="/t/recommender_system/" class="t-link">recommender system</a> utility evaluation.

As eScience is inherently collaborative, <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> can serve as a vital means for supporting information and <a href="/t/resource_sharing/" class="t-link">resource sharing</a>, aiding discovery of connected researchers, improving communication between globally dispersed individuals, and even measuring scientific impact. Consequently, eScience systems are increasingly integrating <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> concepts to improve collaboration. For example, researcher profiles and groups exist in publication <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>, such as Google scholar and Mendeley, and eScience infrastructures, such as MyExperiment, NanoHUB and GlobusOnline all utilize <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> principles to enhance scientific collaboration. In addition to incorporating explicit <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, eScience infrastructures can also leverage implicit <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> extracted from relationships expressed in collaborative activities (e.g. publication authorship or citat!<br/> ion <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a>).<br/> This workshop aims to bring together researchers from a diverse range of areas to establish a new community focused on the application of <a href="/t/social_networking/" class="t-link">social networking</a> to analyze and improve scientific collaboration. There are two complementary areas of focus for this workshop 1) how to efficiently share information, infrastructure and <a href="/t/software/" class="t-link">software</a> resources, such as data and tools through <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, and 2) how to analyze and enhance scientific collaboration through implicit and explicit <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a>, for example analyzing scientific impact through citation <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> or improving collaboration by associating data and tools with <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> of publications and researchers.<br/> <br/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <a href="/e/18834/135210/">[More...]</a> Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18834/135210/http://eventseer.net/e/18420/135205/Apologies for cross posting.

By making minimal <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> assumptions, the <a href="/t/learning_algorithms/" class="t-link">learning algorithms</a> are generally tuned for optimal prediction performance, automation and speed.<br/> <br/> A debate has ensued between the two respective strands of researchers about the relative benef<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> and downsides of each approach. The critique of data-driven methods, voiced by practitioners of classical statistics, include lack of interpretability/meaningfulness, non-existent power calculation for <a href="/t/experimental_design/" class="t-link">experimental design</a>, and inability to deal with the "small N-large p" constraint. Conversely, users of data-driven methods point to the inappropriateness of the <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> choice for biological data, the arbitrariness of significance levels, and the post-hoc corrections for multiple hypothesis tests.<br/> <br/> The propose of this workshop is to bring together both approaches. The aim is to debate the strengths/weaknesses of classical statistical vs <a href="/t/machine_learning/" class="t-link">machine learning</a> methods, and establish the parameters that would bring together hypothesis and data-driven approaches. While this workshop is to be driven by the practical needs of neuroscience research, more fundamental research into methods is also envisaged. Simultaneously, we expect that the need for improved methods will spark substantial contributions towards Predictive Medicine, Translational Medicine and Interpretational Models of Disease. For this purpose we have invited well-known experts and researchers in neuroscience methodology and application, notably Will Penny, Tom Nicholson, <a href="/p/zoe_kourtzi/" class="p-link">Zoe Kourtzi</a>, and <a href="/p/eugene_duff/" class="p-link">Eugene Duff</a>.<br/> <br/> We seek extended abstracts discussing or developing new methods designed to link hypothesis generalisation, <a href="/t/experimental_design/" class="t-link">experimental design</a> and hypothesis validation. Example topics include<br/> - Interpretable neuroimage <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ling/<a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a> validation,<br/> - Experimental design and <a href="/t/power_analysis/" class="t-link">power analysis</a> (also for <a href="/t/machine_learning/" class="t-link">machine learning</a>),<br/> - Variable selection / <a href="/t/dimensionality_reduction/" class="t-link">dimensionality reduction</a> / sparsity,<br/> - Scalability/efficient/parallel (Bayesian) inference,<br/> - Model reproducibility and <a href="/t/testing/" class="t-link">testing</a> of computational theories,<br/> - Combined <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>ling of cellular neurophysiology, genetics, and behaviour,<br/> - Model selection in Bayesian and Classical methods,<br/> <a href="/e/18829/135137/">[More...]</a> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18829/135137/http://eventseer.net/e/18828/135136/The AAAI 2012 Fall Symposium on Machine Aggregation of Human Judgment focuses on combining human and machine inference. For unique events and data-poor problems, there is no substitute for human judgment. Even for data-rich problems, human input is needed to account for <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a>ual factors. For example, textual analysis is data rich, but <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a> and <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a> often make automated parsing unusable. However, humans are notorious for underestimating the <a href="/t/uncertainty/" class="t-link">uncertainty</a> in their forecasts and even the most expert judgments exhibit well-known cognitive biases. The challenge is therefore to aggregate expert judgment such that it compensates for the human deficiencies.<br/> <br/> There are fundamental theoretical reasons to expect aggregated estimates to out-perform individual forecasts. These theoretical results are borne out by a robust empirical literature demonstrating the superiority of opinion pools and prediction markets over individual forecasts, and of ensemble forecasts over those of top <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s. While weighted forecasts are theoretically optimal, among human experts unweighted forecasts have been hard to beat.<br/> <br/> This symposium focuses on methods with the potential to come closer to the theoretical optimum. While a number of methods have shown promise individually, there is potential for significant advancement from combining them into structured, efficient, repeatable elicitation and aggregation protocols. Benef<a href="/t/its/" class="t-link">its</a> of improved aggregation methods include substantial increases in the quality and <a href="/t/reliability/" class="t-link">reliability</a> of expert judgements, removing misunderstanding, illuminating <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a> dependence of forecasts, and reducing overconfidence and <a href="/t/motivation/" class="t-link">motivation</a>al bias in forecasts. On the other hand, theres some skepticism that statistical <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s can outperform experts most of the time. Machine <a href="/t/reasoning/" class="t-link">reasoning</a> lacks the <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a> to know when the <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s no longer apply, or in cases like natural language, simply lack sufficient <a href="/t/context/" class="t-link">context</a> to be reliable in open-world or novel problems. This symposium considers powerful hybrid techniques using humans to help aggregate <a href="/t/computer/" class="t-link">computer</a> <a href="/t/model/" class="t-link">model</a>s.<br/> <br/> A broad range of researchers in the AI community and other application fields such as econometrics, sociology, political science, and intelligence analysis will find this symposium interesting and useful. Bringing these disciplines together to the venue also greatly facilitates the research endeavors.<br/> <br/> Format<br/> The symposium will accept a number of regular papers (6-8 pages), and short papers/extended abstracts (2 pages).

The notion of LBD was first proposed by <a href="/p/don_r_swanson/" class="p-link">Don R. Swanson</a> over two decades ago when he postulated that two concepts (A, C) may be logically related through some intermediate concept (B), common to seemingly disjoint literatures. This seminal idea has largely influenced efforts towards LBD automation in the <a href="/t/biomedical/" class="t-link">biomedical</a> domain and LBD continues to be an integral part of the evolution of <a href="/t/biomedical/" class="t-link">biomedical</a> science. Primarily, LBD has been instrumental in supplementing and guiding scientific experiments that lead to innovations in diagnosis, treatment and preventions mechanisms.<br/> <br/> Much of the early LBD research however, relied almost entirely on Information Retrieval (IR) techniques, such as term and concept co-occurrence, to uncover unknown associations in the large volume of scientific literature now publicly available. Only recently has significant attention been devoted to <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>-based techniques that leverage Semantic Web technologies to exploit the meaning of associations between concepts to facilitate LBD. While generally more intuitive than IR techniques, the feasibility of <a href="/t/semantics/" class="t-link">semantics</a>-based approaches has not been fully demonstrated. Many challenges still exist. Some of these include:<br/> <br/> * Fine-grained extraction of <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> information (called <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> predications) from text corpora.<br/> * Extraction and identification of meaningful (<a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a>) associations between concepts. Such associations are typically represented by paths in large data <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>s.<br/> * Achieving scalability given the combinatorial explosion that arises when traversing large <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a>s. The overwhelming number of edges between concepts increases the complexity of <a href="/t/graph/" class="t-link">graph</a> traversal and compounds the difficulty of finding relevant associations.<br/> * Developing techniques for <a href="/t/clustering/" class="t-link">clustering</a>, aggregating, and analyzing extracted <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> associations for sense making, <a href="/t/question_answering/" class="t-link">question answering</a> and ultimately LBD.<br/> * The <a href="/t/semantic/" class="t-link">semantic</a> integration of information expressed in text corpora with <a href="/t/background_knowledge/" class="t-link">background knowledge</a>.<br/> <a href="/e/18826/135131/">[More...]</a> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18826/135131/http://eventseer.net/e/18046/135130/CFP Workshop on Trust in Social Networks (WTSON2012)<br/> August 26, 2012, Istanbul Turkey<br/> <br/> Deadline for submissions is 20 days away!<br/> <br/> Paper submissions are due: May 7, 2012<br/> <br/> http://www.cs.rpi.edu/wtson2012<br/> <br/> Online <a href="/t/social_networks/" class="t-link">social networks</a> (OSN) are increasingly being used as places where communities gather to exchange information, form opinions, collaborate in response to events like disasters or even social movements like the Arab Spring or Occupy Wall Street. OSNs both serve as places that bring communities together and as places where new communities are formed. These <a href="/t/networks/" class="t-link">networks</a> enable large scale and fast communication that has not been possible in the past.

This special issue of the VLDB Journal will feature original contributions that advance the state of the art in this topic area. Broadly, the special issue is concerned with methods for analyzing and serving <a href="/t/structured_data/" class="t-link">structured data</a> on the Web and methods for enhancing data by soliciting feedback from crowds.<br/> <br/> Structured data appears on the Web in several forms, including hidden Web sources exposed through HTML form <a href="/i/interface/" class="i-link">interface</a>s, tables, lists and pages with repeating semi-structured cards. Current research efforts for leveraging this data include approaches for extracting and combining results from multiple sources, for surfacing the deep web, and for exposing data through RDF <a href="/t/repositories/" class="t-link">repositories</a> with rich linking, possibly exploiting existing <a href="/t/knowledge_bases/" class="t-link">knowledge bases</a> for data annotation and integration.<br/> <br/> Crowd-sourcing and social data are increasingly popular methods for improving <a href="/t/search_results/" class="t-link">search results</a> and enhancing the quality of data on the Web. Social data has huge potential to re-rank and enrich pages and content based on what the user's friends have visited or recommended previously. Crowd-sourcing can be used to answer questions that are inherently hard for machines but can be handled relatively easily with human input. The main challenges in these areas concern the <a href="/t/quality_assessment/" class="t-link">quality assessment</a> of the additional signals and blending socially-promoted results with results generated by traditional algorithms.<br/> <br/> *Topics of interest*<br/> <br/> Topics of interest for this special issue include (but are not limited to):<br/> - Modeling, deploying, exposing and using search functionalities as <a href="/t/service/" class="t-link">service</a>s<br/> <a href="/e/18821/135084/">[More...]</a> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200http://eventseer.net/e/18821/135084/http://eventseer.net/e/17611/135083/12th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2012)<br/> <br/> http://icwe2012.webengineering.org<br/> <br/> July 23-27, 2012, Berlin, Germany<br/> <br/> *** EXTENDED DEADLINE: Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers ***<br/> <br/> The ICWE 2012 Doctoral Consortium aims to improve the research of PhD students and broaden<br/> <br/> their perspectives by giving them the opportunity to share and develop<br/> <br/> their research ideas in a critical but supportive environment, get feedback from mentors<br/> <br/> who are senior members of the Web engineering community, improve their communication skills,<br/> <br/> exchange ideas and build relationships with other Web engineering international PhD students.<br/> <br/> This event will bring together PhD students working on topics related to the Web Engineering<br/> <br/> field.
