The INSS provides a forum to hear about the latest developments in these areas, to exchange ideas, and to start up collaborations within these fields and between industry and academia. Call for Scientific Contributions --------------------------------- INSS 2008 is the fifth annual conference in the series, and features a highly selective technical program. We invite outstanding research papers for the regular paper track from the field of sensor technology, wireless networking, and applications of networked sensor systems. The conference especially encourages submissions that investigate research issues shared between all three areas. Topics of regular paper track include but are not limited to: - Applications of Networked Sensing Systems - Prototypes, Field Studies & Testbeds for Networked Sensing Systems - Security for Networked Sensing Systems - Data Management for Networked Sensing Systems - Middleware for Networked Sensing Systems - Communication Protocols - Sensor Phenomena and Modeling - Sensors and Sensing Systems - Materials, Fabrication, and Packaging of Sensors INSS 2008 invites the submission of both regular and so-called "Birds of a feather (BOF)" papers. Regular papers must be no more than 8 two-column pages long and include an abstract of 100-150 words. BoF papers must be no more than 4 two-column pages long and include an abstract of 100-150 words.

As the web has become an indispensable resource to find information, nowadays many web documents can be found in other languages, notably in an Asian language such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean. Furthermore, meta-multilingual search is deemed to be a promising vehicle to increase the scope and the performance of web search. These advances naturally lead to wider research areas, venues, and issues. Since most commonly used web search and mining algorithms were originally developed for English web documents, these algorithms may need to be fine-tuned and modified for other languages. Data mining, artificial intelligence and information retrieval techniques used in web mining must now consider the linguistic aspects, national culture, and the business practices of the respective countries. ====================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES: - Full Paper submission deadline: October 1, 2007 - Author Notification: November 15, 2007 - Final camera-ready manuscript: December 21, 2007 (to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press) ====================================================================== This symposium aims to bring together scientists, engineers and practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas, and present their research work in the three categories of web mining: structure, content, and usage, with a focus on the Asian Web. Topics of interest that MAW-08 covers include (but are not limited to): * Data mining and information retrieval techniques * Natural language processing * Knowledge discovery * Information fusion in meta-search * Text categorization and clustering * Multilingual web search * Collaborative filtering * Email and blog mining * Web search optimization * Web site ranking ====================================================================== General Chairs: Takahiro Hara, Osaka University, Japan Yanchun Zhang, Victoria University, Australia Program Chairs: William K.

dasfaa workshop

各位 DASFAAインド併設workshop情報周知の依頼がありましたのでお送り致します。　喜連川＠東大情報融合センタ --------------------------------- Call for Papers Managing Data Quality in Collaborative Information Systems Workshop in Conjunction with DASFAA 2008 13th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications 19-22nd March, 2008, New Delhi, India Poor data quality is known to compromise the credibility and efficiency of commercial as well as public endeavours. Several developments from industry as well as academia have contributed significantly towards addressing the problem. These typically include analysts and practitioners who have contributed to the design of strategies and methodologies for data governance; solution architects including software vendors who have contributed towards appropriate system architectures that promote data integration and; and data experts who have contributed to data quality problems such as duplicate detection, identification of outliers, consistency checking and many more through the use of computational techniques. The attainment of true data quality lies at the convergence of the three aspects, namely organizational, architectural and computational. At the same time, importance of managing data quality has increased manifold in today's global information sharing environments, as the diversity of sources, formats and volume of data grows. In this workshop we target data quality in the light of collaborative information systems where data creation and ownership is increasingly difficult to establish. Collaborative settings are evident in enterprise systems, where partner/customer data may pollute enterprise data bases raising the need for data source attribution, as well as in scientific applications, where data lineage across long running collaborative scientific processes needs to be established. Collaborative settings thus warrant a pipeline of data quality methods and techniques that commence with (source) data assessment, data cleansing, methods for sustained quality, integration and linkage, and eventually ability for audit and attribution. The workshop will provide a forum to bring together diverse researchers and make a consolidated contribution to new and extended methods to address the challenges of data quality in collaborative settings. Topics covered by the workshop include at least the following: - Data linkage and fusion - Entity resolution, duplicate detection, and consistency checking - Data profiling and preparation - Use of data mining for data quality assessment - Methods for data transformation, reconciliation, consolidation - Data lineage and provenance - Models, frameworks, methodologies and metrics for data quality - Application specific data quality, case studies, experience reports Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution, and relation to previous research. Position and survey papers are also welcome. Workshop Format The full day workshop will consist of oral presentations, discussions, and invited talks. The workshop will also provide opportunity for demo sessions, where presenters can showcase advanced prototypes based on their research where applicable. Submission of Papers Authors should submit papers reporting original works that are currently not under review or published elsewhere. The paper should be submitted as email attachment to shazia(a)itee.uq.edu.au in PDF format, with maximum length fifteen (15) pages, following Springer-Verlag's LNCS manuscript submission guidelines, available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Workshop Proceedings The workshop proceedings are to be published as part of Springer Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. After the workshop, selected papers may have an opportunity to be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to an International Journal. Important Dates October 15, 2007 Submission of Papers November 12, 2007 Notification to Authors December 10, 2007 All Camera-Ready Copies Due March 19, 2008 Workshop Program Committee Nick Koudas, University of Toronto Markus Helfert, Dublin City University Floris Geerts, University of Edinburgh Xuemin Lin, University of New South Wales Rosanne Price, The University of Melbourne Wasim Sadiq, SAP Research Graeme Shanks, University of Melbourne Diane Strong, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Kerry Taylor, CSIRO ICT Centre Harry Zhu, Old Dominion University Workshop Organizers Shazia Sadiq, Xiaofang Zhou School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia Inquiries: shazia(a)itee.uq.edu.au

A demonstration submission requires the following parts: The demonstration supplement (free format) should also include the various technical requirements such as preferred setting, space, power, networking, lighting, acoustical, and other special equipment. Demonstration supplement materials are for the purposes of review only and will not be published. A poster submission requires the following parts: A further single page which describes the poster itself for review purposes, this may be a draft of the poster, or text describing the proposed layout (free format). Acceptable format is PDF. No other formats will be accepted for review.
