Their objective is to complement the regular program with specific or emerging topics that are of particular interest to the Web Intelligence community and, in case of Workshops, to provide a forum for intense and deep-going discussions. Special Session and Workshop proposals need to address topics that do not pertain to well-established tracks of WI. They may, however, cut across and beyond disciplines traditionally represented at WI conferences. Special Sessions ---------------- Typically, each Special Session comprises at least 3 regular presentations, or 5 short ones, or an adequate mixture of these. The first paper in a Special Session may serve as an introduction to the field, aimed at listeners, who are not experts in the field yet and, therefore, could also be an overview paper. An organizer should not contribute with more than one paper. Workshops --------- The purpose of the CP workshops is to provide a more informal venue in which participants can: * explore specific research areas in depth, * discuss new research directions, * study specific application areas of Web Intelligence, or * bring together researchers from different areas with shared interests. How is a proposal meant to look like? ------------------------------------- Prospective organizers of Special Sessions or Workshops (called events in the following) should submit proposals indicating: 1. Title and acronym of the event 2. Duration (in half-day steps) -for Workshops only 3. Description of the event topic, and a draft version of CFP (not exceeding 500 words) 4. Short description on how the organizers plan to attract quality submissions (CfP spreading?) 5. Preliminary list of invited speakers (if already available) 6. Past records (if any) 7. Short bio of the organizers 8. Tentative program committee (if already available) 9. Contact information of the organizers (including name, affiliation, mailing address, and e-mail address) Evaluation of Proposals: ------------------------ Special session and Workshop proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic, its uniqueness, the qualifications of the proposers and their experience. The proposers are expected to have at least a PhD degree and a good publication track record in the proposed area. A tentative accept/reject decision on the proposal will be sent to the proposers within a short period after its receipt by the Special Sessions and Workshop Chairs. Accepted special sessions and Workshops will be listed on the website. However, it may be that we suggest that an accepted proposal shall be combined with a similar proposal to avoid multiple Special Sessions or Workshops on a similar topic. A final decision will be made two weeks after the special session proposal deadline. High quality outcomes (papers) of these events may be considered for publication in a journal (e.g., Web Intelligence journal (IOS Press, www.iospress.nl/journal/web-intelligence-and-agent-systems/), or the Multiagent and Grid Systems journal (IOS Press, http://www.iospress.nl/journal/multiagent-and-grid-systems/). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PROPOSAL SUBMISSION ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Proposals are to be send by Email to: WSChair(a)webintelligence2017.com For further information either visit the WI 2017 homepage (see above) or contact any of the Special session and Workshop chairs (see below). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Workshop and Special Session Chairs: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Agata Filipowska, Poznan University of Economics, Poland, Agata.Filipowska(a)ue.poznan.pl Omar Hussain, UNSW Canberra, Australia, o.hussain(a)adfa.edu.au Juan D.

22 Feb '17

*CALL FOR PAPERS* *8th International Workshop on* *Biological **Knowledge Discovery from Data **(BIOKDD'17)* Held in parallel with *28th International Conference on Database and * *Expert Systems Applications **(**DEXA’17**)* *www.dexa.org/biokdd2017 <http://www.dexa.org/biokdd2017>* Lyon, France August 28 - 31, 2017 In the recent years, there has been a rapid development of biological technologies producing more and more *biological data*, i.e., data related to biological macromolecules (DNA, RNA and proteins). The rise of *Next Generation Sequencing* (NGS) technologies, also known as *high-throughput sequencing* technologies, has contributed actively to the deluge of these data. In general, these data are big, heterogeneous, complex, and distributed in all over the world in databases. Analyzing this huge volume of data is a challenging task, not only, because of its complexity and its multiple and numerous correlated factors, but also, because of the continuous evolution of our understanding of the biological mechanisms. Classical approaches of biological data analysis are no longer efficient and produce only a very limited amount of information, compared to the numerous and complex biological mechanisms under study. From here comes the necessity to use computer tools and develop new *in silico* high performance approaches to support us in the analysis of biological data and, hence, to help us in our understanding of the correlations that exist between, on one hand, structures and functional patterns in biological macromolecules and, on the other hand, genetic and biochemical mechanisms. *Biological **Knowledge Discovery from Data* (BIOKDD) is a response to these new trends. Topics of BIOKDD’17 workshop include, but not limited to: *Data Preprocessing: *Biological Data Storage*, *Representation and Management (data warehouses, databases, sequences, trees, graphs, biological networks and pathways, …), Biological Data Cleaning (errors removal, redundant data removal, completion of missing data, …), Feature Extraction (motifs, subgraphs, …), Feature Selection (filter approaches, wrapper approaches, hybrid approaches, embedded approaches, …). *Data Mining: *Biological Data Regression (regression of biological sequences, …), Biological Data Clustering/Biclustering (microarray data biclustering, clustering/biclustering of biological sequences, …), Biological Data Classification (classification of biological sequences, …), Association Rules Learning from Biological Data, Text Mining and Application to Biological Sequences, Web Mining and Application to Biological Data, Parallel, Cloud and Grid Computing for Biological Data Mining. *Data Postprocessing:* Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Filtering, Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Representation and Visualization, Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Evaluation (calculation of the classification error rate, evaluation of the association rules *via* numerical indicators, e.g. *measurements of interest*, … ), Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Integration. *PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: * Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions in English. Submitted papers should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE CSP format *http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting <http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting>*. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of DEXA’17 Workshops with IEEE CSP*. *One of the authors of an accepted paper must register to DEXA’17 conference and present the paper at BIOKDD’17 workshop. For paper registration and electronic submission see http://confdriver.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dexa2017/ starting from January 2017. *IMPORTANT DATES:* Submission of abstracts: March 11, 2017 Submission of full papers: March 18, 2017 Notification of acceptance: May 17, 2017 Camera-ready copies due: June 07, 2017 *PROGRAM COMMITTEE:* Mourad Elloumi, LaTICE, University of Tunis, Tunisia (PC Chair) Emanuel Weitschek, Uninetuno University, Rome, Italy Daisuke Kihara, Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA Bhaskar DasGupta, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, USA Giuseppe Lancia, University of Udine, Italy Dominique Lavenier, GenScale, IRISA-CNRS, Rennes, France Robert Harrison, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Hasan Davulcu, Arizona State University, Arizona, USA Vladimir Makarenkov, University of Québec, Montréal, Canada Ronnie Alves, Instituto Tecnológico Vale D.S, Belém, Brasil Paul Yoo, Bournemouth University, UK Davide Verzzotto, Genome Institute of Singapore, Singapore Matteo Comin, University of Padova, Padova, Italy Adrien Goëffon, University of Angers, France Tolga Can, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey Hasan Oğul, Başkent University Ankara, Turkey Maad Shatnawi, Higher colleges of Technology, Abu Dhabi, UAE Evangelos Theodoridis, Intel Labs Europe, London, UK.

22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2017): Call for Participation
by Announce Announcements 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

** Call for Participation *** 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces IUI 2017 St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus March 13-16, 2017 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Y29tcHV0YXRpb25hbC5zY2llbmNlCQ… ACM IUI 2017 is the 22nd annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned 5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. The conference venue is the well known 5* beach hotel St. Raphael Resort, situated on one of the largest Blue Flag accredited beaches, only a short coastal drive from the lively centre of town, approximately 10 minutes away (http://www.raphael.com.cy). The Larnaca International Airport is 35 minutes away, and Paphos International Airport is 55 minutes away. There are shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance and a bus stop exactly outside the hotel. The conference organizers have secured very competitive rates for accommodation, both at the venue hotel as well as a number of other hotels at close distance (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Y29tcHV0YXRpb25hbC5zY2llbmNlCQ…). In addition, the conference organization offers airport transfers to and from the hotels at very reasonable prices. This year IUI attracted an overwhelming number of submissions for all types of contributions (papers, posters, demos, etc.). The list of accepted contributions can be found here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Y29tcHV0YXRpb25hbC5zY2llbmNlCQ… . The program will consist of paper presentations, posters and demos sessions, a Student Consortium and several workshops and tutorials. This exciting program will be further enhanced with 3 keynotes by the Distinguisheed ACM Speaker Panos Markopoulos (Eindhoven University of Technology), George Samaras (University of Cyprus) and Shumin Zhai (Google). The technical program will be complemented with a rich social program, including a welcome reception and a conference dinner at a local traditional Greek taverna with live entertainment. We cordially invite you to attend IUI 2017 and the co-located workshops and tutorials. Registration is open (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Y29tcHV0YXRpb25hbC5zY2llbmNlCQ…).

Cyber security researchers, as well as security professionals from industry and government, have proposed various graphical security modeling schemes. Such models are used to capture different security facets (digital, physical, and social) and address a range of challenges including vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, defense analysis, automated defensing, secure services composition, policy validation and verification. The objective of the GraMSec workshop is to contribute to the development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as methodologies for their practical usage. TOPICS The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Graphical models for threat modeling and analysis • Graphical models for risk analysis and management • Graphical models for requirements analysis and management • Textual and graphical representation for system, organizational, and business security • Visual security modeling and analysis of socio-technical and cyber-physical systems • Graphical security modeling for cyber situational awareness • Graphical models supporting the security by design paradigm • Methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of graphical security models • Formal semantics and verification of graphical security models • Methods for (semi-)automatic generation of graphical security models • Enhancement and/or optimization of existing graphical security models • Scalable evaluation of graphical security models • Evaluation algorithms for graphical security models • Dynamic update of graphical security models • Game theoretical approaches to graphical security modeling • Attack trees, attack graphs and their variants • Stochastic Petri nets, Markov chains, and Bayesian networks for security • UML-based models and other graphical modeling approaches for security • Software tools for graphical security modeling and analysis • Case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical security modeling paradigm INVITED SPEAKER To be decided. PAPER SUBMISSION We solicit two types of submissions: • Regular papers (up to 15 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop. • Short papers (up to 7 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work in progress. The reviewers are not required to read the appendices, so the papers should be intelligible without them.

IJCS SI CFP: Communication and Computation Cooperation (3C) Network
by Kezhi Wang 18 Feb '17

18 Feb '17

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message. Please disseminate this CFP to your colleagues & contacts. ============================================================== INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Editor in Chief: Mohammad S. Obaidat Impact Factor: 1.099 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1099-1131/homepage/spe… CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Communication and Computation Cooperation (3C): Principles, Algorithms and Systems Scope With growing popularity of mobile communications and the explosion of the resource hungry applications, mobile users are expecting to receive much higher experiences than before, which poses an increasingly high burden on the existing wired and wireless communications. Thanks to the fast development of the cloud computing and virtualization techniques, more and more communication and service related functions may be realized and implemented in cloud, as exemplified by the recent progress in cloud radio access networks (C-RAN), mobile cloud computing (MCC) and network function virtualization (NFV), etc. With the transition from conventional hardware based environment to a software based infrastructure, computing resource can be allocated more dynamically, conveniently and flexibly to the communications and other services. However, allocating more computation resource than networking or user expecting will contribute to a waste of the energy, whereas lack of computing resource in communications will result in packet loss or failure of information transmission. Therefore, the purpose of this special issue is to investigate the Communication and Computation Cooperation (3C), as well as the related principles, algorithms, protocols and systems. This special issue expects to create a forum for researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to publish the key results and techniques in all aspects of 3C. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Communication and computation cooperation and management systems * Principles and critical R&D issues in 3C * 3C related algorithms, designs and protocols * 3C related techniques in Internet of things (IoT) * 3C based approaches in sensor networks * 3C research in C-RAN * 3C based mobile cloud/edge/fog computing * Quality of service (QoS) related problems in 3C * 3C based cross layer optimization * 3C in 5G communications * 3C based offloading techniques * 3C in software-defined networking (SDN) * 3C aided device to device communications * Energy and power minimization in 3C * Wired and wireless network related function virtualization in 3C * Security and privacy related issues in 3C * Performance examination and analysis in 3C * 3C assisted social networking Instructions for Manuscripts Submitted articles must describe original research which have not been published or currently under review by other journals or conferences. Submissions must be directly sent via the IJCS submission web site at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijcs and select Special Issue: Communication and Computation Cooperation: Principles, Algorithms and Systems as manuscript type during step 1 of the submission process. Paper submissions must conform to the layout and format guidelines in the International Journal of Communication Systems.

17 Feb '17

CALL FOR PAPERS - GraMSec 2017 The Fourth International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security Santa Barbara, CA, USA - August 21, 2017 http://gramsec.uni.lu Co-located with CSF 2017 SCOPE Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic approach to analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate potential protection measures. Cyber security researchers, as well as security professionals from industry and government, have proposed various graphical security modeling schemes. Such models are used to capture different security facets (digital, physical, and social) and address a range of challenges including vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, defense analysis, automated defensing, secure services composition, policy validation and verification. The objective of the GraMSec workshop is to contribute to the development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as methodologies for their practical usage. TOPICS The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Graphical models for threat modeling and analysis • Graphical models for risk analysis and management • Graphical models for requirements analysis and management • Textual and graphical representation for system, organizational, and business security • Visual security modeling and analysis of socio-technical and cyber-physical systems • Graphical security modeling for cyber situational awareness • Graphical models supporting the security by design paradigm • Methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of graphical security models • Formal semantics and verification of graphical security models • Methods for (semi-)automatic generation of graphical security models • Enhancement and/or optimization of existing graphical security models • Scalable evaluation of graphical security models • Evaluation algorithms for graphical security models • Dynamic update of graphical security models • Game theoretical approaches to graphical security modeling • Attack trees, attack graphs and their variants • Stochastic Petri nets, Markov chains, and Bayesian networks for security • UML-based models and other graphical modeling approaches for security • Software tools for graphical security modeling and analysis • Case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical security modeling paradigm INVITED SPEAKER To be decided. PAPER SUBMISSION We solicit two types of submissions: • Regular papers (up to 15 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop. • Short papers (up to 7 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work in progress. The reviewers are not required to read the appendices, so the papers should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be prepared using the LNCS style: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. All accepted (regular and short) papers will be included in the workshop's post-proceedings. As the previous two years, the GraMSec 2017 post-proceedings are planned to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer (confirmation pending). Submissions should be made using the GraMSec 2017 EasyChair web site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec17 IMPORTANT DATES • Submission deadline: Sunday, May 21, 2017 • Acceptance notification: Friday, July 7, 2017 • Workshop: Monday, August 21, 2017 GENERAL CHAIR • Sjouke Mauw, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg PROGRAM CHAIRS • Peng Liu, Pennsylvania State University, USA • Ketil Stølen, SINTEF Digital and University of Oslo, Norway PC MEMBERS Mathieu Acher, University Rennes 1, Inria, France Massimiliano Albanese, George Mason University, USA Ludovic Apvrille, Télécom ParisTech, France Thomas Bauereiss, DFKI, Germany Kristian Beckers, Technical University of Munich, Germany Giampaolo Bella, University of Catania, Italy Stefano Bistarelli, Università di Perugia, Italy Marc Bouissou, EDF RD, France Frédéric Cuppens, Télécom Bretagne, France Nora Cuppens-Boulahia, Télécom Bretagne, France Binbin Chen, Advanced Digital Sciences Center, Singapore Hervé Debar, Télécom SudParis, France Harley Eades, Augusta University, USA Mathias Ekstedt, KTH - Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Ulrik Franke, Swedish Institute of Computer Science - SICS, Sweden Frank Fransen, TNO, The Netherlands Olga Gadyatskaya, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Paolo Giorgini, University of Trento, Italy Dieter Gollmann, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany Joshua Guttman, WPI, USA René Rydhof Hansen, Aalborg University, Denmark Maritta Heisel, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany Hannes Holm, Swedish Defence Research Agency, Sweden Siv Hilde Houmb, Secure-NOK AS, Norway Sushil Jajodia, George Mason University, USA Ravi Jhawar, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Henk Jonkers, BiZZdesign, The Netherlands Cristian Johansen, University of Oslo, Norway Florian Kammueller, Middlesex University London, UK Nima Khakzad, TU Delft, The Netherlands Dong Seong Kim, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Barbara Kordy, INSA Rennes, IRISA, France Pascal Lafourcade, Université Clermont Auvergne, LIMOS, France Jean-Louis Lanet, Inria, France Per Håkon Meland, SINTEF Digital, Norway Jogesh Muppala, HKUST, Hong Kong, SAR China Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, Linköping University, Sweden Andreas L.
