by Sebastien Laborie 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

12th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization SMAP 2017 - http://www.smap2017.org ---------------------- July 9-10, 2017, Bratislava, Slovakia Collocated with UMAP 2017 Organized by Foundation for Development of Informatics ---------------------- *Important dates: ----------------------- Paper authors, title and short description submission deadline: March 12, 2017 Paper submission deadline (EXTENDED): March 17, 2017 Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2017 Submission of camera ready: May 18, 2017 SMAP 2017 Workshop: July 9-10, 2017 *Aim and topics ----------------------- SMAP 2017 aims to address several issues of semantic and social multimedia technologies and their use in content creation, media adaptation and user profiling. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Content creation, annotation and modelling for semantic and social web - Computational intelligence for media adaptation and personalization - Semantics-driven indexing and retrieval of multimedia contents - User modelling and dynamic profiling - Ontologies and reasoning - Multimedia standards - Semantics-based recommender systems: theory and applications - Web adaptation methods and techniques - Hybrid social and semantic approaches to profiling, recommendation engines or adaptation systems - Social multimedia applications (livecasting, audio-video sharing) - Social multimedia tagging and multimedia content communities - User-generated content mechanisms - Privacy/Security issues in Social and Personalized Media Applications - Privacy preserving data mining and social networks - Content customization and adaptation - Semantic context modelling and extraction - Context-aware multimedia applications - Adaptive and personalized multimedia summaries - Multilingual content navigation - Intelligent personalized interfaces - Social and semantic media collaboration platforms (e.g. semantic wikis) - Social web economics and business - Social network aggregation - Social data analytics - Social data mining - Adaptive/Personalized conversational media In addition, SMAP 2017 seeks papers for special sessions addressing emerging issues in all above aspects that will complement the regular program. Authors will have the opportunity to present their work in short papers that will appear in the official SMAP 2017 workshop proceedings. SMAP 2017 has the support of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society technical co-sponsorship. *Special session on Personalized delivery of cultural heritage content ----------------------------------- Digital cultural heritage is now a mature field, in which information technologies are used in the service of preserving cultural heritage. The digital form of resources allows for the exploitation of advances in data analytics, semantics, information retrieval, user interaction, profiling and personalization in order to develop new, exciting and stimulating exhibitions and cultural/educational/touristic experiences. For this special session we invite works that present and/or review the current state of the art in theory and practice, as well as promising recent advances, in the area of aligning the delivery process for cultural heritage content to the needs, goals, characteristics and preferences of individual users and user groups. The session is broad in scope, with the caveat that emphasis should be on the link between cultural heritage and personalization techniques. *Special Session on Multimodal affective analysis for human-machine interfaces and learning environments ----------------------------------- Affective analysis is a broad research area that focuses on the recognition, interpretation, processing and simulation of human affect, i.e., feelings or emotions. During the last years many efforts in the fields of content understanding and human-machine interaction have turned towards a more human-centered approach and complement traditional semantic-based ones by enhancing them with the users’ affective state while interacting with machines (typically computers, avatars and robots). This special session calls for research papers focusing on signal analysis and machine learning techniques that extract affective knowledge from auditory, visual and textual information usually employed in human-machine interaction and learning applications. Papers that focus on new signal representation, feature extraction and emotion modelling approaches are welcomed, as well as papers covering practical work, tools and applications. *Proceedings/Publications ----------------------------------- As with all previous editions of SMAP, all accepted papers are planned to be published by IEEE in IEEEXplore. Based on the quality of the work presented and its estimated potential selected papers will be invited for consideration, in a revised and extended form, for inclusion in an additional journal publication. *Submission guidelines ---------------------------------- Each submitted paper will be refereed by at least three members of the SMAP 2017 Program Committee, based on its relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness and clarity of expression. Submissions must be in English, and can present mature research or experimental results as well as promising work in progress. Papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 2-column conference article style, with a limit of 6 pages, including all figures, tables and references. A minimum paper length of 4 pages is also imposed.

by Markus Esch 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

==== Call For Doctoral Symposium Submissions ==== Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS*) is the umbrella for two closely related but independent conferences, the International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO) and the International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC). The FAS* Doctoral Symposium provides an international forum for PhD students working in research areas addressed by FAS*. In this forum, PhD students will get unique opportunities to subject their research to the scrutiny of external experts, gain experience in the presentation of research, connect to peers and experts addressing similar problems, and get advice from a panel of internationally leading researchers. Different from the technical tracks of the conference, the FAS* Doctoral Symposium focuses on the specific needs of young researchers at the beginning of their career. As such, emphasis will be placed on a critical and constructive feedback that shall help participants to successfully conclude their PhD studies. PhD students working in any area addressed by the FAS* conferences are invited to submit a Doctoral Symposium paper in which they describe the key motivation and objectives of their research project, and reflect on the methodology as well as the current status of their PhD studies. Complementing the thematic focus of FAS*, we particularly solicit contributions in the following areas: - Engineering of self-organizing and self-adaptive systems - Complex cyber-physical and socio-technical systems - Self-* approaches in massive-scale decentralized systems - Application of self-* in robotics and spatial computing - Autonomic and cloud computing - Scalable and applied machine learning / data mining ==== Submission Instructions ==== Submissions should have a length of max. two pages (not including references) and be formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Authors should submit their papers using the EasyChair installation of the main conference, which is available at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2017 Please note that only single-author submissions are accepted, which focus on the topic of the doctoral work. The name of the supervisor should be clearly marked below the author’s name in the paper. Submissions should further adhere to the following structure: - Motivation: motivate the open problem that you want to address and briefly summarize existing approaches along with their deficiencies. - Objectives: describe the key objectives of your PhD project and argue how achieving them will solve the open problem outlined in the motivation. - Methodology: outline what methodology you will adopt to meet the objectives of your project. Clearly state on what existing works your work will build. - Research Plan: describe what preliminary results – if any – you have already achieved and summarize your plans for future work. Please add a rough schedule that allows to judge whether your research plan is feasible. Authors of accepted papers shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the paper, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Doctoral Symposium papers will be advertised in the final program, and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore as part of the SASO proceedings. Papers will also be made available in the IEEE Digital Library. ==== Review Process==== Each submission will be reviewed by at least two Doctoral Symposium experts that cover the different areas of interest of the conference. Submissions will be evaluated based on their relevance, the motivation and quality of the proposed research, as well as the suitability of the chosen methodology. Authors of accepted papers will have different opportunities to present their project at the conference. Besides a full presentation during the PhD Symposium session, an “Elevator Pitch Session” will be organized during the main conference, where authors get the chance to briefly showcase their research. In addition, the Best Doctoral Symposium paper will be selected and the award will be presented during the main conference. Finally, selected authors will have the additional chance to present their work via a poster in the poster session of the main conference. ==== Important Dates ==== Submission deadline: June 10, 2017 Notifications due: July 1, 2017 Camera-ready copy due: July 12, 2017 Conference date: September 18-22, 2017 ==== Contact Information ==== Any inquiries related to the Doctoral Symposium should be directed to: Jean Botev (jean.botev(a)uni.lu) https://saso2017.telecom-paristech.fr/committees.html

Second IEEE International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2017)
by Shao Ying Zhu 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Call for Papers Second IEEE International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2017) (website: http://sns2017.eu/) in conjunction with the 3rd IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2017) July 3-7, 2017 Bologna, Italy Scope Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies are radically changing telecommunication networks. NFV virtualizes network services to reduce the dependency on underlying hardware which aids resource management, provides faster service enablement and lowers OPEX and CAPEX. SDN separates the control functions from the underlying physical network by decoupling the control and data planes thereby offering improved programmability, ease of deployment, management, reduced costs, better scalability, availability, flexibility and fine-grain control of traffic. But how does this widespread adoption of NVF-SDN impact on network security, especially with an increased attack surface implied by virtualization? In this workshop, we invite high-quality submissions in the areas of NFV and SDN security and related areas. Submitted papers should highlight methods and approaches that can be used to analyse the security risks, requirements and techniques related to NFV and SDN and to provide methods and approaches to assure security and mitigate threats in NFV and SDN. Topics of interest Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas: * Security threats and vulnerabilities introduced by NFV and SDN technologies * Management and orchestration of NFV and SDN elements for security * Security, reliability and privacy through SDN and NFV in 5G networks * Threat detection and mitigation through SDN and NFV * Security policy specification and management in SDN and NFV systems * Security related monitoring and analytics in SDN and NFV solutions * 5G security architecture, trust and confidence * Authentication, Authorization and Accounting in SDN * Security of applying SDN to wireless and mobile network * Security of applying NFV and SDN to IoT * Security of applying NFV and SDN to cloud computing * Risk and compliance issues in SDN * Security architectures for SDN * Security standards for SDN * Security of SDN data plane * Security of SDN control plane * Security of SDN application plane * Security of routing in SDN * Security as a service for SDN Important Dates * Paper Submission: March 10, 2017 * Notification of Acceptance: April 18, 2017 * Camera Ready: May 3, 2017 Paper Submission Guideline The manuscripts must be prepared in English, following IEEE two-column Manuscript Templates (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html) for Conference Proceedings with a maximum length of six (6) printed pages for full papers and up to four (4) pages for short papers (work in progress), including figures. All papers need to be submitted in PDF format via JEMS at https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=2763. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed.

01 Mar '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.
