Apologies for multiple copies received. Greatly appreciated if you could distribute it to interested colleagues and students! ********************* UIC-07 Call For Papers ************************* The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-07) - Building Smart Worlds in Real and Cyber Spaces - http://www.uic-conference.org/2007/ http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~uic07/ Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007 ********************************************************************* Ubiquitous computers, networks and information are paving a road towards a smart world (SW) in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to provide trustworthy and relevant services to people. This ubiquitous intelligence (UI) will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed; the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By embedding digital intelligence in everyday objects, our workplaces, our homes and even ourselves, many tasks and processes could be simplified, made more efficient, safer and more enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, composes these many "smart things/u-things" to create the environments that underpin the smart world. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the world of ubiquitous computing with universal services of any means/place/time to the smart world of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-07 is a successor of the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW-05, Taipei, Mar. 2005), the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence, Smart Worlds (UISW-05, Japan, Dec. 2005) and the 3rd Int'l Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06, Three Gorges, China, Sept. 2006). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and smart worlds. Topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects * Electronic Labels, Cards, E-Tags and RFID * Embedded Chips, Sensors & Actuators * MEMS, NEMS, Micro & Biometric Devices * Everyday Goods, Artifacts, Robots, etc. * Smart Appliances and Wearable Devices * Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects * Embedded Software and Agents 2.

Neuhold, University of Vienna Abstract Digital libraries have started out as digital versions of conventional libraries. Very soon however the definition was extended to incorporate all kinds of digital data/information/knowledge collections and mechanisms to administer and control them. The first type of Digital Library has reached a certain state of maturity: core library functionality has been agreed upon, metadata standards, services and harvesting protocols have been established, and digital libraries for different kinds of application domains and content types are in operation. In addition, digital library management systems, like DSpace or Greenstone, which offer a well-defined core set of digital library functionality like metadata management, collection management, and search support, are on the market. Digital libraries nd digital library management systems are typically implemented as Web-based client server systems. However the library extensions towards the other types of collections that occur frequently in e-science applications require new functionality and new tools for handling. Streaming data are different from images; those again are different from simulation results or videos. Looking into the extension of DL functionality to better support the scientists and their working behaviours and into the enhanced support of the scientific communities by advanced (partly semantic-enabled) services, the development of next generation digital libraries is an active area of current DL research. Current plans for next generation DL architectures are aiming for a transition from the DL as an integrated, centrally controlled system to a dynamic configurable federation of DL services and information collections. This transition is inspired by new technology trends and developments. This includes technologies like Web services and the Grid as well as the success of new paradigms like Peer-to-Peer Networking and Service-oriented Architectures. This talk discusses the promises and challenges of next generation Digital Library architectures revolving around information access. The discussion is illustrated by looking into current European projects in this area, DILIGENT and BRICKS. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 中野　美由紀東京大学　生産技術研究所　喜連川研究室 Miyuki NAKANO Institute of Industrial Science, Univ. of Tokyo miyuki(a)tkl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp

dbjapan の皆様、東京大学の白石です。 International Workshop on SensorWebs, Databases, Mining in Networked Sensing Systems (SWDMNSS) に関する論文募集案内をお送りいたします。 INSS'07 (International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems) の併設ワークショップとして、本年6月に、ドイツにて開催する予定です。 Sensor Web、センサデータベース、ストリーム処理、時空間データベース、マイニングなど実世界検索のための要素技術に関する論文を募集しております。投稿の〆切は、3月5日となっています。是非、ご投稿をご検討頂けますよう、よろしくお願いいたします。 ===================================================================== Preliminary Call for Papers International Workshop on SensorWebs, Databases and Mining in Networked Sensing Systems (SWDMNSS) June 6, 2007 Held in conjunction with The 4th International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems http://www.inss-conf.org Braunschweig, Germany A SensorWeb - an Internet enabled collection of heterogeneous networked sensing systems such as sensor networks - can provide real-time and historical information representing situations, contexts and changes in the real world. There are great potentials, if people are able to query and search such information resources. Also, inter-networking technologies and information integration utilizing the world-wide-web may allow combining geographical querying techniques and web search engines in order to approach an integrated real-world search engine. This workshop aims to discuss advanced technologies on SensorWebs, databases and data mining in order to tap new information resources provided by networked sensing systems and make them useable in a large variety of application contexts. We invite technical papers about networked sensing systems, databases and data mining for spatial and temporal information and discuss technical issues on integrating sensor networks, databases and Internet technologies. The workshop will focus on data-driven and data-centric aspects of networked sensing systems rather than sensor devices and hardware architectures. Original papers on database and network technologies, e.g. sensor data, stream data, time-series data, geographic information and web information, are welcome. Topics of interest (but not limited to): - 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 Submissions: Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than 8 pages (standard Springer LNCS format), including figures, tables, and references in PDF that include contact information of all the authors. Please mail your submission to Yoh Shiraishi (siraisi(a)csis.u-tokyo.ac.jp) and Christian Decker (cdecker(a)teco.edu) Reviewed and selected paper will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be published as technical report. The best papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (PUC).
