20 Feb '08

日本データベース学会の皆様下記のようなワークショップが，フィンランドにて開催されます．御投稿をご検討頂けたら幸いです．どうぞよろしくお願い致します．川島英之 *********************************************************************** Call for Papers 2nd International Workshop on SensorWebs, Databases and Mining in Networked Sensing Systems (SWDMNSS 2008) http://www.osoite.jp/SWDMNSS08/ in conjunction with SAINT 2008 July 28 - August 1, 2008 Turku, Finland *********************************************************************** The development and deployment of sensor networking technologies brought the emergence of Internet-wide infrastructure for networked sensing systems and a collection of heterogeneous sensor networks. In this situation, a sensor network or a collection of distributed sensor networks is one of tremendous information resources on the Internet. This SensorWeb can provide real-time and historical information representing situations, contexts and changes in the real world. It is essential to tap this information resource in order to make networked sensing systems accessible and useable in a large variety of applications. Sensor networks may be virtually regarded as an enormous database that can provide dynamic real-world information. There are great potentials in all areas of life, if people are able to query and search such information resources as they do it nowadays on the world-wide-web. In addition, the searched results should be provided in an understandable and potentially machine re-usable form. For instance, aggregated, summarized or symbolized sensor information is more useful for understanding complex phenomena than raw sensor information. Such information integration will be brought by novel methods for data mining and information extraction specifically tailored to networked sensing systems. In addition, information integration utilizing the world-wide-web may allow to combine sensor-specific querying techniques, e.g. according to geographic location, and web search engines, e.g. focusing on content, in order to approach an integrated real world search engine. In order to realize such real-world searching on networked sensing systems, some technologies from different research fields are required: a) network technologies to integrate and overlay heterogeneous sensor networks, b) database technologies to manage and search spatial and temporal information, c) mining technologies to extract useful information from sensor databases and other related resources. This workshop aims to bring together technical papers about networks, databases and data mining for spatial and temporal information and discuss technical issues on integrating sensor networks, databases and Internet technologies. This workshop will open-up a novel and interdisciplinary research area for networked sensing systems covering different research fields such as networks and SensorWebs, databases, information integration and web engineering. It provides the opportunity to discuss key technologies for searching the real-world information provided by networked sensing systems. Our workshop will focus on data-driven and data-centric aspects of networked sensing systems rather than sensor devices and hardware architecture for networked sensing systems. Original papers on database and network technologies for spatial and temporal information (e.g. sensor data, stream data, time-series data, geographic information and web information) are welcome. Topics of this workshop are the following (but are not limited): * Sensor databases: managing, archiving and searching sensing data * Spatial and temporal databases for networked sensing system * Query processing architecture for spatial and temporal data * Mining, aggregation and integration of spatial and temporal data * Stream data processing and mining * Data representation and query description language for networked sensing system * Overlay network and P2P technologies for networked sensing system * Integration of heterogeneous sensor networks * Software architectures for sensor networks and databases * Networked sensing system for mobile and ubiquitous computing * Text mining, language processing, information extraction on the Web * Sensor data integration, mapping and visualization * Sensor web enablement and standardization * Location-based services and geographic information systems (SensorGIS) * Experiences on the deployment and experiments of sensor networks Important Dates for Authors : Paper submission due: March 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: March 30, 2008 Camera-ready copies due: May 1, 2008 Author registration due: TBD Workshop: July 28 - August 1, 2008 (exact date is TBD) Paper Submission: Workshop papers should be within 4 pages, no extra page is allowed.

CFP: Workshop for Ubiquitous Networking and Enablers to Context-Aware Services 2008
by Akimitsu Kanzaki 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

皆様阪大の神崎です。ユビキタス関連の国際ワークショップの CFP をご案内いたします。本ワークショップは、7月末にフィンランドにて開催される SAINT2008 の併設ワークショップとなります。是非ご投稿をご検討ください。投稿締め切りは 3/1 になります。 ----- The Fifth Workshop for Ubiquitous Networking and Enablers to Context-Aware Services in Conjunction with SAINT2008 Turku, FINLAND July 28 -- Aug. 1, 2008 Call for Papers Theme of the Workshop A “ubiquitous networking” is a federated network technology which supports various enablers such as 3G mobiles, RFID tags, sensors, actuators, etc. On the ubiquitous networking environments, information is explosively used for various kinds of purposes (information-explosion: http://www.infoplosion.nii.ac.jp/info-plosion/ctr.php/m/IndexEng/a/Index/) The ubiquitous network has enough capability to deal with huge number of IP packets generated from enablers. At the same time, a lot of broadband contents are requested to be delivered with perfectly controlled QoS. Efficient and scalable routing and transport mechanism for supporting such various traffics are fundamental requirement on the network. ?From a service perspective, a number of context or ambient aware services are envisaged for “ubiquitous networking” in “information-explosion era.” A service platform will manage and create services based on the context. There should be discussions how to collect and generate user context, how to create or synthesize services efficiently, and how to develop such systems using emerging software and hardware technologies. There could be also discussions how to control network performance based on user policy or service level agreement. Providing robust security over all ubiquitous networks in a simple fashion is an important issue associated with service provisioning to users. Keeping privacy in ubiquitous networks is also a big issue. The other important aspect is enablers or ubiquitous objects themselves where users are commonly faced with. What is a suitable design and implementation of such objects? How they could be connected to a ubiquitous network to provide contexts or how could they communicate with each other? This workshop is one of the best opportunities to address this theme in sufficient depth and breadth, and is intended to share knowledge and exchange ideas, thereby promoting new studies and research topics in this area. We invite not only academic and industrial researchers but also business persons, all who are interested in “ubiquitous networking” and “information explosion.” Advancing technologies, reports on research, reports or suggestions on business models and so on are welcome. Important Dates for Authors Workshop Paper Submission: March 1, 2008 Workshop Paper Notification: March 30, 2008 Workshop Final Manuscript: May 1, 2008 Author Registration Due: TBD Workshop: July 28 -- Aug. 1, 2008 (exact date is TBD) Registration Workshop registration will be handled by the SAINT 2008 organization along with the main conference registration. It is the IEEE policy that accepted papers can be published only when IEEE recognized that at least one author has registered for presentation. So, authors will be requested to register along with the final manuscript. Paper Submission Papers should be sent to the Program Committee no later than March 1, 2008 via e-mail.

CFP　第１７回 CoopIS 2008　（クーピス）　
by Masaru Kitsuregawa 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

皆様 CoopISなるデータベース関連の国際会議がございます。第１６回目のＣＦＰをご案内申し上げます。本年１１月１２−１４日にメキシコで開催されます。よろしくご投稿をご検討下さいます様お願い申し上げます。喜連川優/東大　情報融合センタ ■◇情報爆発プロジェクト第２年次成果報告デモ集会３/３,４(秋葉原ダ◇■ ■◇イビル)のご参加もご検討下さい。昨年は４５０名で満員でした。　◇■ 16th International Conference on COOPERATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (CoopIS 2008) Monterrey, Mexico, Nov 12 - 14, 2008 http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf Acceptance rate of CoopIS in recent years was approx. 20% Cooperative Information Systems are the cornerstone for moving the technical network infrastructure to a meaningful integrated information infrastructure. The CIS paradigm has traditionally encompassed distributed systems technologies such as middleware, business process management (BPM) and Web technologies. In recent years service oriented architectures have fundamentally altered the technological landscape of CIS systems. Service Oriented Computing (SOC) introduces the service abstraction (a remotely accessible software component) as the building block of both inter and intra organizational distributed applications and its supporting middleware. Cooperative Information Systems applications are heavily distributed and highly coordinated, often exhibiting inter-organizational interaction patterns and requiring distributed access and sharing of computing and information resources. Typically they fall under the categories of e-Business, e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Health, e-Science among others. The CoopIS conference series has established itself as a major international forum for exchanging ideas and results on scientific research for practitioners in fields such as computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), middleware, Internet data management, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction, workflow management, agent technologies, and software architectures, to name a few. In addition, the 2008 edition of CoopIs aims to highlight the impact of service oriented computing and the importance of sustainability of CIS as a necessary prerequisite for mission critical applications. As in previous years, CoopIS'08 will be part of a joint event with other conferences, in the context of the OTM ("On The Move") federated conferences, covering different aspects of distributed information systems. Topics that are addressed by CoopIS'08 are logically grouped in three broad areas, and include but are not limited to: * Business Process Management and Compliance o Business Process Integration and Management o Cooperation Aspects in Business Process Management o Distributed Workflow Management and Systems o Service orchestration and service compositions o Process choreographies o Business process compliance o Integrated supply chains o Concurrent engineering and distributed groupware o Business level policies o Governance, risk and compliance models and runtimes o Sustainability of processes * Advanced middleware and architectures and runtimes o Service oriented middleware o Web services standards and runtimes o Grid computing infrastructure o Enterprise Grids architectures and services o Web centric information and processing architectures o Semantic interoperability o Self-adapting and self-healing systems o Model driven middleware architectures o Multi-agent systems and architectures for CIS o Peer-to-peer technologies o Security and privacy in CIS o Quality of service in cooperative information systems o Mediation, matchmaking, and brokering architectures o Collaboration and negotiation protocols o Markets, auctions, exchanges, and coalitions * CIS Applications o Novel CIS applications for the large organizations: e-business, e- commerce, e-government o Advances in e-science and Grid computing applications o Medical and biological information systems o Industrial applications of CIS o Web 2.0 Important Dates Abstract Submission Deadline June 8, 2008 Paper Submission Deadline June 15, 2008 Acceptance Notification August 10, 2008 Camera Ready Due August 25, 2008 Registration Due August 25, 2008 OTM Conferences November 9 - 14, 2008 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to CoopIS'08 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.
