Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: May 7, 2003. -------------------------------------------------------------------- First Workshop on Intelligent Solutions in Embedded Systems (WISES) Vienna University of Technology, Austria, June 27th, 2003 CALL FOR PAPERS An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform a dedicated or narrow range of functions with a minimal user intervention. An intel- ligent system is a system that is able to react appropriately to chang- ing situations without user input and hence, an attractive solution for an embedded system. Main challenges for intelligent solutions in embed- ded systems come from dependability and real-time requirements and from constraints on cost, size, and power consumption. It is the objective of this workshop to bring together students, young researchers, and experienced scientists of this interdisciplinary area to exchange ideas and experiences. We want to encourage submissions de- scribing promising work in progress, papers on experimental systems, and well-founded position papers concerning the usage of intelligent methods in embedded systems engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Sensor data processing * Fault tolerance and robustness * Intelligent ressource planning * Adaptive control systems * Biologically inspired systems SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted Manuscripts should be full papers or extended abstracts (minimum 700 words). Full papers are limited to a length of 5000 words. Submissions will only be accepted electronically via email to wises(a)vmars.tuwien.ac.at, in either PDF or postscript format. Accepted papers will be published in printed proceedings and made accessible via world-wide web. Each paper must be presented by one of the authors at the workshop.

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Nicola Henze [mailto:henze@kbs.uni-hannover.de] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10. April 2003 15:16 An: l3s(a)learninglab.de Betreff: [Fwd: CFP Workshop "MobileBenutzer - Mobiles Wissen- Mobiles Internet"] Call for Papers =============== +------- | | Mobile Benutzer - Mobiles Wissen - Mobiles Internet | | Workshop im Rahmen der 33. Jahrestagung der | Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. | | Frankfurt am Main, 30.9. - 2.10.2003 | | http://www.informatik2003.de | http://ivs.tu-berlin.de/mobilesWissen | +-------- Hintergrund und Motivation des Workshops ---------------------------------------- Wissen ist in unserer post-industriellen Gesellschaft zu einem wesentlichen ökonomischen Faktor geworden. Das Management von Wissen gewinnt damit zunehmend an Bedeutung für den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg von Unternehmen. Allerdings ist Wissen wertlos, wenn es nicht zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort und in der richtigen Form zur Verfügung steht. Wissensmanagement entfaltet sein Potential erst dann vollständig, wenn es integraler Bestandteil von Geschäftsprozessen geworden ist. Die Prozesse finden aber zunehmend dezentral statt, bis hin zu virtuellen Arbeitsgruppen oder gar virtuellen Unternehmen. Es gilt, mobile Geräte, dezentralisierte Prozesse und Wissensmanagement als zusammengehöriges Thema aufzufassen, als mobiles Wissensmanagement. Im Kontext des Internets wird die Darstellung von Wissensinhalten und Zusammenhängen unter der Bezeichnung Semantic Web subsumiert. Ziel der Semantic Web-Aktivitäten ist es, Internet-Dokumente jeglicher Art semantisch anzureichern, um ihre maschinelle Verarbeitung zu unterstützen. Arbeiten im Bereich Topic Maps gehören zu diesen Aktivitäten hinzu. Gleichzeitig verlagert sich die Informationsverarbeitung immer mehr von stationären Rechnern hin zu mobilen Endgeräten wie Laptop, PDA und Mobiltelefon. Die Möglichkeit, Wissen mit hoher Bandbreite ortunabhängig auf mobile Endgeräte zu transportieren, zwischen diesen direkt auszutauschen und Wissen auch offline zu benutzen, eröffnet völlig neue Potentiale im Bezug auf Geschäftsprozesse und Kundeninteraktionen. Aufgrund dieser Potentiale ist es sinnvoll und erforderlich, sich näher mit Fragen zu möglichen Einsatzbereichen des mobilen Wissensmanagements, der Realisierung von mobilen Anwendungen und mit technischen, organisatorischen und prozessbezogenen Aspekten der Einbindung von mobilen Endgeräten in das Wissensmanagement auseinander zu setzen. Dank mobiler Geräte und semantische Informationen werden Prozesse der Entdeckung, Verarbeitung, Weitergabe und Speicherung von Wissen technisch mehr unterstützt werden, als es derzeit der Fall ist. Gerade aber das Entdecken von Wissen und die Motivation der Menschen dieses Wissen zur Verfügung zu stellen wird durch die derzeitige und auch die zukünftige Technologie noch nicht hinreichend unterstützt. Jeder von und kennt die Schwierigkeiten Mitarbeiter zu motivieren Ihren Beitrag zur "Wissensdatenbank" in Unternehmen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Vorbilder hierfür sind soziale Netzwerke, in denen Neuigkeiten je nach Interessenlage und Kontakten zwischen den Akteuren des Netzwerks wandern. In diesem Zusammenhang sind auch Peer-to-Peer-Netzwerke interessant, die ohne eine zentrale Instanz, Wissensflüsse in sich schnell ändernden Umgebungen unterstützen. Für den Workshop "Mobile Benutzer - Mobiles Wissen - Mobiles Internet" werden Beiträge zu den nachfolgend aufgeführten Themengebieten erbeten. Auch auf das Thema mobiles Wissensmanagement bezogene Beiträge, die sich schwerpunktmäßig mit einem der Teilgebiete, d.h. mobile Technologien oder Wissensmanagement, befassen, sind für den Workshop von Interesse, wenn sie dabei die Möglichkeit einer Integration in das Gesamtgebiet berücksichtigen. Im Workshop werden Vertreter verschiedener Disziplinen zu Wort kommen. Es besteht die Hoffnung, dass daraus am Ende des Workshops neue - gerade auch interdisziplinäre - Kooperationen entstehen. Potentiale, innovative Anwendungen im mobilen Wissensmanagement --------------------------------------------------------------- * Integration mobiler Anwendungen in Wissensmanagementsysteme * Nutzungspotentiale und Einsatzbereiche von mobilen Anwendungen (bspw. E-Learning, Medizin) * Kontext-sensitive, personalisierte Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Möglichkeiten spontaner Vernetzung und Peer-to-Peer Kommunikation * Realisierte Lösungen im Bereich mobiles Wissensmanagement * Praxiserfahrungen bezüglich Akzeptanz von mobilen Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Anreizsysteme für mobile Wissensmanagement-Anwendungen * Modellierung mobiler Wissensflüsse Mobile Technologien ------------------- * Mobiles Internet * Spontane Netzwerke * Überblick und Bewertung der technischen Infrastruktur von mobilen Anwendungen * Lösungsmöglichkeiten hinsichtlich technischer Grenzen wie Übertragungskapazitäten, unterschiedliche Displaygrößen (Präsentation und Benutzungsoberflächen) mobiler Endgeräte, usw. * Überblick über mobile Technologien * Überblick über Abrechnungsmodelle für mobile Mehrwertdienste Wissensmanagement ----------------- * Wissensentdeckung, -speicherung, -verarbeitung, -bewertung * Methoden und Anreizsysteme, Wissen der Allgemeinheit zur Verfügung zu stellen. * Wissensmodellierung * Workflows für wissensintensive Prozesse * Kollaborative Anwendungen im Wissensmanagement * Information Retrieval, Push-Technologien, intelligente Agenten als Werkzeuge zur Informationsvermittlung * Werkzeuge für den Aufbau und der Pflege von Wissens- und Informationsräumen (Semantic Web, Topic Maps) * Integration von Wissensmanagement und Content Management Wichtige Termine ---------------- 15.

Even though a lot of effort has been dedicated to developing efficient group communication principles and systems, it is widely accepted that to be deployed adequately in large-scale settings, some of the existing concepts should be revisited. This one-day workshop seeks contributions related to the design and implementation of group communication systems for large-scale applications and environments. ____________________________________________________________ Title: ACM Workshop on Rapid Malcode (WORM) Deadline: 01-Jul-2003 Webpage: http://pisa.ucsd.edu/worm03/ Conference: WORM/October 27th, 2003 Synopsis: In the last several years, Internet-wide infectious epidemics have emerged as one of the leading threats to information security and service availability. The vehicle for these outbreaks, malicious codes called "worms", leverage the combination of software monocultures and the uncontrolled Internet communication model to quickly compromise large numbers of hosts. The goal of this workshop is to bring together ideas, understanding and experience bearing on the worm problem from a wide range of communities including academia, industry and the government. We are soliciting original papers from researchers and practitioners alike. ____________________________________________________________ About SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE The SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements.
