CALL FOR PAPERS

With the emergence of Web 2.0, the user became the heart of various
technologies that compose this new era such as mashups, collaborative
environments, social networks, etc. The main added ingredient is
certainly the social dimension with the aim of linking users together to
facilitate their interaction and make it richer and more productive. The
social Web is increasingly becoming the most interesting part of the Web
and is at the point of challenging well established Web players such as
the traditional search engines, e.g., Google. This is a huge step
forward from a user perspective but also opens up great prospects for
research in an environment that becomes increasingly complex, less
structured and more hostile considering the great mass of knowledge
generally hidden from the user.

Social networks are the focus of most of the work being done around the
social Web. Works in this area address in particular the structural
properties, e.g., the strength of social connections, characterization
of key players, etc. Apart from social networks, the social dimension
may be found in other forms and other locations on the Web: social media
such as YouTube and Flickr, social news like Digg or Twitter, or social
bookmarking as Delicious (del.icio.us). All these forms constitute a
huge container of social information with knowledge that may be useful
to the user. This knowledge may be leveraged by, e.g., offering new
value added services exploiting that knowledge, which otherwise is very
poorly exploited by users and service providers today.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and young researchers
from both academia and industry around issues related to the social
interactions analysis through mining social data for providing users
added value services. On the other hand, it is necessary to study and
understand how services providers could leverage this huge mass of
hidden knowledge for, e.g., business purposes, an issue facing all
services providers in this area. Concretely, this includes confronting
ideas in order to have a clearer view of the elements that surround this
new phenomenon, to build a clear overview of advances in the various
tracks related to the new Web era and then examining the scientific and
industrial short, medium and long terms to rise around this hot topic.

The workshop includes the following topics (but not limited to):
- Knowledge discovery from social data;
- Social networks (personal/professional) analysis;
- Social interactions analysis and aervice providers;
- Social analysis for content and services personalization;
- Social interactions analysis for information retrieval and filtering;
- Social recommender systems
- Community extraction and analysis;
- Privacy and social interactions analysis;
- Business models;
- New challenges and applications of social interactions analysis
for services providers;
- etc.

Submission must be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages
using the IEEE format. All the submissions will be reviewed by at least
three reviewers. Authors should submit their articles electronically
through the submission platform using the workshop website.

**************************************************************************

Eighth European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2010)
Paris, France, 16th-17th December 2010

http://www.lipade.fr/eumas10/

OVERVIEW

Agent technology has had an expanding impact and depth over the past two
decades and more, influencing and being influenced by other disciplines while
making a distinct research contribution with novel solutions to industrial
problems. It is crucial, therefore, that both academics and industrialists
within Europe have access to a forum at which current research and application
issues are presented and discussed. Following in the tradition of past EUMAS
(Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath
2008, Aiya Napa 2009), the aim of the Eighth European Workshop on Multi-Agent
Systems is to encourage and support activity in the research and development of
multi-agent systems. This workshop is primarily intended as a European forum
at which researchers, and those interested in activities relating to research,
in the area of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems can meet, present
(potentially preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and
informal but academic environment.

SUBMISSIONS

Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed work are
invited. EUMAS welcomes papers that are original, or are under submission,
will be presented or have already been presented at relevant international
conferences. The workshop is intended as a forum for interaction and
discussion, and we especially invite submissions by students, who can receive
valuable feedback from this discussion-oriented focus. Preliminary student work
is welcome, as long as it possesses sufficient substance for serving as a basis
for discussion.

All submissions should be formatted using Springer's LNCS style and have a
maximum of 15 pages. We request the submission of title and abstract prior to
the paper submission, to help meet the tight reviewing schedule. Further
submission details on how to submit abstracts and papers will appear soon on
the page below.

http://www.lipade.fr/eumas10/submission.html

The workshop has no formal proceedings; it is intended primarily as a forum for
interaction and discussion. The workshop will provide proceedings to
registrants electronically (on a USB stick). Depending on the quality, we
intend to invite a selection of extended versions of original (not previously
published) submissions to be included in relevant journal special issues.

DATES

Abstracts due: 14th September 2010

FW: [bulle-i3] MEDES'10: Call For Papers

The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital
EcoSystems (MEDES 2010)
In cooperation with ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6
http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/10/
October 26-29, 2010
Bangkok-Thailand

Description and Objectives
---------------------------

In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of
digital medias leads to the emergence of
virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple
and independent entities such as individuals,
organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or
several missions and focusing on the interactions
and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits
self-organizing environments, thanks to the
re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which
resources provided by each entity are properly
conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly
comprehend data management, innovative services,
computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the
multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems
and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and
design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to
how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be
innovative and value-creating. The application of Information
Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how
entities request resources and ultimately interact to
create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and
knowledge. These technologies can be improved through
novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data
management, web technologies, networking, security,
human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and
self-organizing systems to support the establishment
of digital ecosystems and manage their resources.

The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital
EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together
a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry
interested in exploring the manifold challenges
and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and
how current approaches and technologies can be
evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original
research papers, industrial papers and proposals
for demonstrations.

MAS&S 2010] II Call for Papers

***************

CALL FOR PAPERS

***************

4th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation (MAS&S)
"Engineering Complex Systems through Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation"

to be held at

MALLOW (Multi-Agent Logics, Languages, and Organisations Federated
Workshops) 2010, Lyon (France), 30 Aug.-03 Sept.

Multi-agent systems (MASs) provide powerful models for representing both
real-world systems and applications with an appropriate degree of
complexity and dynamics. Several research and industrial experiences
have already shown that the use of MASs offers advantages in a wide
range of application domains (e.g. financial, economic, social,
logistic, chemical, engineering). When MASs represent software
applications to be effectively delivered, they need to be validated and
evaluated before their deployment and execution, thus methodologies that
support validation and evaluation through simulation of the MAS under
development are highly required. In other emerging areas (e.g. ACE,
ACF), MASs are designed for representing systems at different levels of
complexity through the use of autonomous, goal-driven and interacting
entities organized into societies which exhibit emergent properties The
agent-based model of a system can then be executed to simulate the
behavior of the complete system so that knowledge of the behaviors of
the entities (micro-level) produce an understanding of the overall
outcome at the system-level (macro-level). In both cases (MASs as
software applications and MASs as models for the analysis of complex
systems), simulation plays a crucial role which needs to be further
investigated.

Areas of Interest

-----------------

MAS&S'10 aims at providing a forum for discussing recent advances in
Engineering Complex Systems by exploiting Agent-Based Modeling and
Simulation. In particular, the areas of interest are the following
(although this list should not be considered as exclusive):

* Agent-based simulation techniques and methodologies

* Discrete-event simulation of Multi-Agent Systems

* Simulation as validation tool for the development process of MAS

* Agent-oriented methodologies incorporating simulation tools

* MAS simulation driven by formal models

* MAS simulation toolkits and frameworks

* Testing vs. simulation of MAS

* Agents as modeling concept enabling communication between domain
experts and simulation experts

* Industrial case studies based on MAS and simulation/testing

* Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS)

* Agent Computational Economics (ACE)

* Agent Computational Finance (ACF)

* Agent-based simulation of networked systems

* Scalability in agent-based simulation

BPD2010 call for papers

BPD2010 - 6th International Workshop on Business Process Design
http://processinnovation.org/

In conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Business Process
Management (http://bpm2010.org)
13 September 2010
Hoboken, New Jersey, USA

Final Call for Papers - Paper submission deadline: 24 May 2010


Workshop Background and Goals:
Conscious (re)design of business processes is a powerful means for the
pro-active improvement of
process performance as well as for re-active achievement of higher process
conformance. Despite being
the most value-adding aspect of the process lifecycle, process design is
still more art than science.
Many methodologies on the subject remain vague about how to actually
derive superior process design.
The practice of business process design tends to rely on the creativity
and previous experience of
business professionals to come up with new, improved processes. Because of
the variability in creativity
levels, experience and tacit knowledge, the outcomes of such efforts are
inconsistent and can thus
undermine the potential benefits of Business Process Management (BPM)
initiatives in organizations.

The aim of this workshop is to continue the ongoing and successful
discussions of the last five BPD
workshops to further nurture a body of knowledge on the disciplined,
well-understood and
appropriately evaluated design of business processes. We have witnessed in
the previous BPD
workshops that besides research on BPD methodologies, there is a trend and
a focus on addressing
constraints in process design, user involvement, process reference models
and process design quality.
Papers that introduce innovative tools for process design, as well as
papers that address soft issues
(human aspects) and quantitative aspects (e.g. financial evaluation of
proposed process improvements),
will be particularly welcome.

We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an
interest in advancing the state of
the art in process design (in contrast to process modeling or execution).
We seek contributions by
authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and insightful
observations on the subject. Two main
categories of submissions will be considered: regular papers and industry
papers.

Topics:
The workshop exclusively focuses on aspects related to process design
within the process lifecycle. This
specialization excludes the well-researched process modeling and process
execution aspects. Within
this specialized scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Process design objectives
- Process inefficiencies diagnosis
- Process design methods and methodologies
- Process improvement patterns
- Process design tools
- Process design measures and evaluation
- Process design in the cloud
- Process reference models
- Process innovation
- Constraints in process design (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance)
- Process design governance
- Process design for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes)
- Process design in collaborative environments
- Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process design
- Linking process design to organizational strategy and goals
- Success factors in process design
- Case studies and experiments

Proceedings and Journal fast-track:
All accepted papers will be published in Springer-Verlag workshop
proceedings as a post-proceeding
volume in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP)
series. To increase the quality
of published papers, BPD will rely on CD pre-proceedings that will include
camera-ready papers revised
by authors based on comments from the double-blind review process.
Following the paper presentation
and discussion at the workshop, a revised camera ready will be required
for publication in the LNBIP
series, which will be delivered to authors after the workshop. At least
one author for each accepted
paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. The best
papers from the presented LNBIP
proceeding submissions will be invited to the Australian Journal of
Information Systems special issue on
Business Process Management.

Paper Submission:
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any
of the areas listed above. Only
papers in English will be accepted, and the length of the paper must not
exceed 10 pages. All papers
must be formatted in LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details).
The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the
topics covered (preferably using the
list of topics above) and must not list author details. Papers should be
submitted electronically via the
EasyChair submission system:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpd2010. All submissions
must be received no later than May 24th, 2010, and must be in PDF format.

Part I: 'Pharma 2020 - Maintaining competitiveness and operational advantage in a rapidly changing environment.'

When: Tuesday May 25th 2010 Time: 11:00am (New York), 4:00pm (London) Where: Online Live Webinar

Keynote speakers: Moderated by:

As the topography of the global Pharmaceutical sector changes rapidly, alongside an uncertain macro climate, responding and reacting to current and future challenges will be the key to success. With patents expiring, pipelines shrinking and increased regulatory pressure, the focus now is very much on process improvement and efficiency, as complex product innovation and the cost of R&D changes the competitive landscape for the sector. All of these issues present a very real challenge for senior manufacturing and supply chain executives within the global Pharmaceutical community. High product values combined with short product expiry in a tightly regulated environment presents a unique set of challenges to solve. This session will explore the key issues for the global Pharmaceutical Industry and discuss the impact of these trends on supply chain development, response and go forward strategy.

Key topics will include: Is the era of blockbuster new products over, and has the balance shifted to a new paradigm of competition on process and efficiency? Optimization of inventory and manufacturing capacity across multi-tiered global pharmaceutical operations Driving working capital efficiencies and reducing complexity Enhancing supply chain agility and flexibility to integrate and align supply and demand Registration is entirely complementary; please pass this to any colleagues or business partners for who you feel it appropriate. This will prove an invaluable learning opportunity for industry executives to get a unique insight into the latest pharma & biotech supply chain best-practice
