(School of Management Studies, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi, India), Rajneesh Ranjan Jha (IBS Hyderabad, IFHE University, Hyderabad, India) The purpose of this article is to examine the dimensionalities, mechanisms, and the conditions under which information characteristics of the corporate employment website influence job seekers' job pursuit intention and recommendation intention. Drawing on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework, the data collected from 181 active job seekers posit that the effects of information characteristics, such as information relevancy, information accuracy, and information timeliness on organizational attractiveness are mediated by job seekers' attitudes towards the website, which in turn direct to create job pursuit intention and intention to recommend. Furthermore, it is also postulated that the relationship between the above-said characteristics and attitude towards the website is moderated by the perceived privacy concern of the job seekers. In addition, the article results also supported that the relationship between job seekers' website attitude and organizational attractiveness is moderated by perceived organizational reputation.

ACM-BCB Workshop on Parallel and Cloud-based Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (ParBio)
by Mario Cannataro 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

I apologize for any cross-posting of this announcement ======================================================================================== 8th International Workshop on Parallel and Cloud-based Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (ParBio) http://staff.icar.cnr.it/cannataro/parbio2019/ held in conjunction with ACM BCB 2019 The 10th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Health Informatics Niagara Falls, NY Sept 7-10, 2019 http://acm-bcb.org/ ======================================================================================== * * * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * ======================================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Paper submissions due: June 15, 2019 Notifications sent to authors: July 1, 2019 Camera-ready papers due: July 8, 2019 Workshop date: TBD ======================================================================================== Due to the availability of high-throughput platforms (e.g. next generation sequencing, microarray and mass spectrometry) and clinical diagnostic tools (e.g. medical imaging), a recent trend in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine is the ever-increasing production of experimental and clinical data. Considering the complex analysis pipelines often used in biomedical research, there is a main bottleneck that involves the storage, integration, and analysis of experimental data, as well as their correlation and integration with publicly available data banks. While parallel computing and Grid computing may offer the computational power and the storage to face this overwhelming availability of data, Cloud Computing is a key technology to hide the complexity of computing infrastructures, to reduce the cost of the data analysis task, and especially to change the overall model of biomedical research and health provision. High-performance infrastructures may offer the huge data storage needed to store experimental and biomedical data, while parallel computing can be used for basic pre-processing (e.g. parallel BLAST, mpiBLAST) and for more advanced analysis (e.g. parallel data mining). In such a scenario, novel parallel architectures (e.g. CELL processors, GPUs, FPGA, hybrid CPU/FPGA) coupled with emerging programming models may overcome the limits posed by conventional computers to the mining and exploration of large amounts of data. On the other hand, these technologies yet require great investments by biomedical and clinical institutions and are based on a traditional model where users often need to be aware and face different management problems, such as hardware and software management, data storage, software ownership, and prohibitive costs (different professional-level applications in the biomedical domain have an high starting cost that prevent many small laboratories to use them). The Cloud Computing technology, that is able to offer scalable costs and increased reachability, availability and easiness of application use, and possibility to enforce collaboration among scientists, is already changing the business model in different sectors and now it has begun to be adopted in the bioinformatics and biomedical domains. However, many problems remain to be solved, such as availability and safety of the data, privacy-related issues, availability of software platforms for rapid deployment, and the execution and billing of biomedical applications. The goal of ParBio 2019 is to bring together scientists in the fields of high performance and cloud computing, computational biology and medicine to discuss, among the others, the parallel implementation of bioinformatics and biomedical applications and problems and opportunities of moving biomedical and health applications on the cloud. Moreover, big data analytics issues in healthcare and bioinformatics will be addressed. The workshop will focus on research issues, problems and opportunities of moving biomedical and health applications on the cloud, as well as on the opportunity to define guidelines and minimum requirements for a Biomedical Cloud. Moreover, the workshop will discuss about parallel and distributed management and analysis of molecular and clinical data that more and more need to be integrated and analyzed in a joint way. TOPICS OF INTEREST The main themes and research topics will regard the applications of parallel and high performance computing to biology and medicine, as well as Cloud Computing opportunities and problems for bioinformatics and biomedical applications - Data Science in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Big data analytics in healthcare and bioinformatics - Data Mining in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Deep Learning in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Sentiment Analysis in bioinformatics and healthcare - Affective Computing in bioinformatics and healthcare - Text mining of biomedical literature and clinical notes - Healthcare data quality, privacy, and security - High performance computing for computational biology - Data integration and ontologies in biology and medicine - Large scale biological and biomedical databases - Parallel bioinformatics algorithms - Parallel visualization and exploration of omics and clinical data - Parallel visualization and analysis of biomedical images - Computing environments for large scale collaboration - Scientific workflows in bioinformatics and biomedicine - Emerging architectures and programming models for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Parallel processing of bio-signals - Modeling and simulation in healthcare and medicine - Cloud Computing for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Cloud Computing for health systems - Services for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Internet of Things in bioinformatics and healthcare - Peer-To-Peer Computing for bioinformatics and biomedicine PROGRAM The workshop will take place on (TBD) It is scheduled as half-day The program is not available yet.

Dear Colleague, (Apologies for multiple postings) You are welcome to submit your contributions to the workshop on Human-oriented Intelligent Defence Against Malware Threats, which will be held as a part of the 28th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) 2019. The conference will take place on the 10-16th of August 2019 in Macao, China. Workshop webpage and detailed information: https://folk.ntnu.no/andriis/hidamt2019/ *** IMPORTANT DATES *** May 2, 2019 (extended from Apr 12): Due date for full workshop paper submissions May 22, 2019 (extended from May 10): Paper acceptance notification June 14, 2019 (extended from Jun 3): Final camera-ready papers submission Aug 10-12, 2019: Workshops and conference *** INTRODUCTION *** Recent cybersecurity incidents involving malware demonstrated how serious the consequences can be for both individual users and large organizations. McAfee report on malware threats shows that over four quarters of 2017 there were identified 690 millions of malware samples, which is an extreme number considering amount of manual work required to process even a tiny fraction of those. Many malware analysis across different security organizations spent hours trying to analyze and understand functionality of malware. At the same time overwhelming amount of malicious threats and malware forms cause considerable delays from the time malware has been discovered to the time a corresponding efficient signature was created. Moreover, the malware infection is no longer limited to personal computers, but now also hits such components as Internet of Things and Industrial Control Systems, which were previously unaffected and the cybersecirty impact was underestimated. From before Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence have demonstrated advantages of application in cybersecurity-related tasks. In particular, many researchers have been employing such techniques to mitigate obfuscation, polymorphous and encryption while building intelligent malware detection mechanisms. Intelligent malware analysis and detection is an emerging topic of cybersecurity that has to go in line with advancement of malware developers and consistent presence of zero-day attacks. Our focus is not only to build and effective Machine Learning-based malware protection, but also comprise models that are to be understood by human experts. Therefore, we believe that Machine Learning-aided human-oriented approaches will ensure timely response to malware threats. Moreover, those can serve as a stepping stone in faster and more efficient analysis of novel malware as well as similarity-based identification of adversarial attacks on Machine Learning. *** PROPOSED TOPICS *** Note that the topics are not limited to this proposed list. 1. Automated pre-processing phase - Efficient features identification and construction - Novel approaches for malware categorization - Human-understandable characterization of malware - Indicators of Compromise as successful identification tool - Information Fusion and Open Threats Intelligence 2. Advanced computational methods - Deep Learning models - Similarity-based analysis to avoid evasion - Big Data-oriented optimization of detection - Hybrid Intelligence and Soft Computing - Secure and robust models to avoid adversarial attacks 3. Combating malware in a wild - End-point implementations - Novel malware collection and sharing platforms - Applications in Decision Support Systems - Human reasoning in Machine Learning-aided malware detection - Real-time defence and online learning - Explainable rules derived from train Machine Learning models *** PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS *** Andrii Shalaginov, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Geir Olav Dyrkolbotn, Center for Cyber and Information Security Sergii Banin, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Ali Dehghantanha, University of Guelph Katrin Franke, Norwegian University of Science and Technology *** PROGRAM COMMITTEE *** Olaf M.

Post-doc position at Inria Rennes (France) for 18 months on Modeling Energy Consumption of Heterogeneous Numerical Infrastructures in HPC
by Laurent Lefevre 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

« Modeling Energy Consumption of Heterogeneous Numerical Infrastructures in HPC » Energy consumption is one of the main limiting factor for the design and deployment of large scale numerical infrastructures [4]. The road towards "Sustainable Exascale" is a challenge with a target of 50 Gflops per watt. Energy efficiency must be taken into account and must be combined with other criteria like performance, resilience, quality of service. In particular, power consumption is critical and power peaks should be avoided to ensure the proper power supply of the large-scale infrastructure [2]. As platforms become more and more heterogeneous (co-processors, GPUs, low power processors...), a deep understanding on how application and services can efficiently run on such large scale infrastructures remains a challenge. Simulation of infrastructures (like by using the SimGrid framework [1]) makes a significant step towards this direction. The post-doc will explore the energy consumption issues in large scale high performance heterogeneous computing platforms by measuring the actual energy consumption on real infrastructures (including Grid’5000 test-beds), and proposing end-to-end energy models for large-scale HPC infrastructures. These models will account for data movement and computations. Their integration within the SimGrid framework will allow to test what-if scenarios in order to determine for given HPC applications what would be the most suitable hardware architecture in terms of computation cores and network configuration. Several performance and energy models will be explored depending on targeted computing resources mixing simulated GPUs and low power processors. The post-doc will manage, propose and analyze several experimental scenarios in order to validate proposed solutions and to design energy-efficient HPC applications. The candidate will be located in Inria Myriads team (IRISA, Rennes, Anne-Cécile Orgerie as principal advisor) and co-advised with the Avalon team (LIP, Lyon with Laurent Lefevre co-advisor).

----------------------Call for Papers (Final Call)------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019), IEEE CS- TCI 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

[DEADLINE APPROACHING] The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
by Massimo CAFARO 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

WPDM 2019 The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019 Final deadline for submissions extended to: April 7, 2019 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

DeCPS 2019 - Dependable and Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering
by Dirk.Craeynest＠cs.kuleuven.be 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers.] ======================================================================= Call for Papers DeCPS 2019 - Workshop on Challenges and new Approaches for Dependable and Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering 14 June 2019, Warsaw, Poland Co-located with the Ada-Europe 24th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies Conference web site: http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2019 ======================================================================= --- Scope --- In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has experienced an extraordinary development with a broad impact on society; however, there is still a gap between the physical world and the cyber one. Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) constitute a new class of engineered systems, integrating software control and autonomous decision making with signals from an uncertain and dynamic environment. Internet transformed the way people interact and deal with information. CPS technology transformed the way people interact with engineered systems. For this type of systems, it is necessary not only ensuring the safety of physical devices but also other factors such as information about customers, suppliers, and organizational strategies needs to be secured. In the context of cyber systems, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can contribute to manage a huge amount of heterogeneous data that come from different sources without human intervention. To deliver certification, standards for machine safety are highly recommended as they give confidence to the regulatory. The generic standard for safety-related hardware and software might be applicable, however, due to increasing autonomy of robots there is still a potential for evolution of such regulations or standards. The proper combination of AI, CPS and IoT is therefore fundamental. CPS are considered a disruptive technology which will transform the traditional manufacturing into Industry 4.0 solutions, and are used in a very wide spectrum of applications: smart mobility, autonomous driving, digital healthcare, smart grids and buildings, mobile co-operating autonomous robotic systems, digital consumer products and services.

----------------------Call for Papers (Deadline Extended)------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019), IEEE CS- TCI 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing. CONFERENCE TRACKS: - Cloud Models - SaaS, IaaS, PaaS - Security, Privacy and Trust - Software Systems, Models and Architectures - Mobile Cloud Services - Data and Knowledge Management - Context-awareness and Location-awareness - Software-defined Networking - Performance Evaluation and Modelling - Networking and Communication Protocols - IoT Services and Applications - Smart Environment - Enterprise and Business Models - Energy Efficiency - Federation and Virtualization - Fog and Edge Computing - Industry Track - General Track Paper submission and Publication: Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research results and experience.

[DEADLINE APPROCHING] The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
by Massimo CAFARO 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

WPDM 2019 The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019 Final deadline for submissions extended to: April 7, 2019 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

Numerous famous people have been in this city The coast: Cadiz, located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has 260 km of coast which can be enjoyed with its great variety of miles of sandy beaches with fine and white sand and clear blue water. Along the coast you can also appreciate the wildlife features of this area. Its history is ancient. Tartessos and Phoenicians visited this land more than 3,000 years ago. The Romans and Visigoths also dwelt it and from 711 was a Muslim territory until the second half of the thirteenth century. The passage of different cultures has left their mark in art and culture as well as in the gastronomy and the Flamenco that you will be able to enjoy. There are many places of interest and a large number of activities to be enjoyed in Cadiz. However, the beauty of it is that you can make it as active or as relaxing as you wish during your stay!

CfP VHPC19: HPC Virtualization-Containers: Paper due May 1, 2019 (extended)
by Michael Alexander 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 14th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '19) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 16-20, 2019, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 20, 2019 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Paper Submission Deadline: May 1, 2019 (extended) Springer LNCS, rolling abstract submission Abstract/Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25685 Call for Papers Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures.

SI Big Data Semantics IJDS
by Paolo Ceravolo 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

JOURNAL ON DATA SEMANTICS SPECIAL ISSUE: BIG DATA SEMANTICS Call for papers The complexity of Big Data applications in conjunction with the lack of standards for representing their components, computations, and processes, have made the design of data-intensive applications a failure prone and resource-intensive activity. One of the reasons behind it can be identified in a lack of sound modeling practices. Indeed, multiple components and procedures must be coordinated to ensure a high level of data quality and accessibility for the application layers, e.g. data analytics and reporting. We believe that a major challenges of Big Data research requires - even more than developing new analytics - devising innovative data management techniques capable to deliver functional and non-functional properties like among others: data quality, data integration, metadata discovery, reconciliation and augmentation, model compliance, or regulatory compliance. Data Semantics research can address such challenges in future research according to the FAIR principles, for implementing design procedures that generate Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable data. Methods, principles, and perspectives developed by the Data Semantics community can significantly contribute to this goal. Solutions for integrating and querying schema-less data, for example, have received much attention. Standards for metadata management have been proposed to improve data integration among silos and to make data more discoverable and accessible through heterogeneous infrastructures. A further level of application of Data Semantics principles into Big Data technologies involves Representing Processes, i.e. representing the entire pipeline of technologies connected to achieve a specific solution and make this representation shareable and verifiable to support a mature implementation of the Big Data production cycle. This special issue of the Journal on Data Semantics aims at sharing research and practical achievements in the field of Big Data integration, storage, and processing. Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to: • Big Data Management • Metadata Management • Big Data Persistence and Preservation • Big Data Quality and Provenance Control • Big Data Storage and Retrieval • Big Data Integration Architectures and Techniques • Data Source Discovery • Big Data Profiling and Semantics Discovery • Querying Heterogeneous Big Data Repositories • Caching and Materializing Query Results • Quality of Big Data Services • Big Data Service Performance Evaluation • Big Data Service Reliability and Availability • Reproducibility of Big Data Services JOURNAL ON DATA SEMANTICS • Verifiability of Big Data Services • Assurance in Big Data Services • Big Data Visualization • Real Time Visualisation • Visualization Analytics for Big Data • Big Social Media Mining • Big Data Security and Privacy • Big Data System Security and Integrity • Big Data Information Security • Privacy-Preserving Big Data Analytics • Usable Security and Privacy for Big Data • Performance of Big Data Architectures • Query Optimization • Optimal Selection of Analytics • Physical Structures Guest Editors Paolo Ceravolo, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Robert Wrembel, Poznan University of Technology, Poland Sylvio Barbon Junior, State University of Londrina, Brazil Editorial Board Antonia Azzini, Consortium for the Technology Transfer (C2T), Italy Clodis Boscarioli, State University of West Paraná - UNIOESTE, Brazil Fadila Bentayeb, Université Lyon 2, France Omar Boussaid, Université Lyon 2, France Philippe Cudre-Mauroux, University of Fribourg, Switzerland Jerome Darmont, Université Lyon 2, France Luke Immes, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA Maurice van Keulen, University of Twente, The Netherlands Mariangela Lazoi, University of Salento, Italy Marcello Leida, StrabioDB, Spain M.

01 Apr '19

CALL FOR PAPERS (Extended Deadline - Firm) SOCIAL MEDIA SENSING WORKSHOP July 29 – August 1, 2019 Valencia, Spain in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2019) http://www.cs.unibo.it/~mirri/sms19/ http://www.icccn.org/icccn19/index.html SUBMISSION DEADLINE April, 14, 2019 (FIRM) https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icccn2019 PUBLICATION IEEE Proceedings SCOPE Billions of users daily interact with social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. The checking of the preferred social media platform is becoming the first thing to do at wake-up time, and the last thing to do before falling asleep. With no doubts, social media revolutionized the content ecosystem and the behavior of millions of people. Within social media, people communicate, collaborate and share information, and within Online Social Media Data (OSMD), it is possible to find contents and metadata about people, brands, products, services, personal preferences, issues, etc. Not surprisingly, OSMD are being used to understand people’s opinions and to measure citizens’ feelings. Indeed, this knowledge represents a critical factor in strategic decision processes, as it may be helpful in identifying problems and strengthening strategies. For instance, politicians may gauge the public mood to improve their political decisions, enterprise managers may increase customers engagement by tracking what people think about products and services, city administrators may analyze citizens’ opinions to enhance the life quality of the city, advertisers can improve the effectiveness of their messages by analyzing what people think of a brand. The use of OSMD to get insights about people and society is not trivial and covers many different disciplines, like computer science, social engineering, psychology, semiotics, and economics. Topics: The workshop is seeking recent advances, novel proposals, best-practices, pitfalls and case studies in Social Media Sensing from different and inter-disciplinary points of view. In particular, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Accessibility of social media contents Advances in Social Media Big Data Analysis for OSMD Business Intelligence using OSMD Chatbots and ChatScript Cloud Computing Data Mining and Machine Learning for OSMD Decision-making models and OSMD Economics and Social effects Emotion recognition and description Event forecasting based on OSMD data Fake news detection Games and Social Media Health care services and applications Image Analysis IoT sensing with human-in-the-loop Lexicon Design Prediction Analysis Privacy and Security in OSMD Recommendation systems for OSMD Reputation and Trust Semantic Web Sentiment Analysis Smart City Society Sensing Social Graph Analysis Social Media Trust Text Analytics Ubiquitous and pervasive crowd-sensing Video Analysis GENERAL CHAIRS: Marco Furini, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy Silvia Mirri, University of Bologna, Italy

*** Apologies for multiple copies *** ================================================================================ C a l l F o r P a p e r s IEEE TRANSACTION ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS Special Section: Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0 URL: ================================================================================ Industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders [4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. This way of connecting entities with the “smart world” and the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT systems, including physical entities. For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders [4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover, from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: • Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0 • Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and systems • Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation systems • Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0 • Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design • Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0 • Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains • Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems, including users • Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced threats • Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains • Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0 • Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0. • Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance services ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Deadline for manuscript submissions June 30, 2019 * Expected publication date (tentative) November 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .
