Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other systems, possibly legacy systems that share very little \r\nwith it. When applications are developed with service-oriented architectures, they can evolve more easily during their lifespan and adapt better to changing or even unpredictable environments. On the other hand, cloud computing enables a new application execution paradigm where resources can be optimally utilised and exchanged between heterogeneous execution platforms and the cloud, so as to achieve fast response times and ensure immersive and non-interrupted user experience. Services today are developed and deployed in a black-box manner, which is of particular importance from a business perspective since services are implemented in a variety of technologies. Similarly, cloud computing tries to enable the mobility and the device and platform independence by promoting interoperability, portability and security standards. Essential is agreement on integration technology and consensus has emerged in today's middleware market: Customers want to use Web technologies. However, service integrators, developers, and providers need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective development and use of dependable services and service-oriented applications in the cloud.","notification":"2012-05-23","submission":"2012-04-09","endDate":"2012-09-21","coordinates":{"longitude":0,"latitude":0,"accuracy":0},"fullname":"European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing 2012","key":"esocc-2012","country":"Italy","city":"Bertinoro"},{"startDate":"2010-07-05","acronym":"ICWE2010","description":"The Tenth International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2010) will be held July 5 - 9, 2010 in Vienna, Austria.

According to Ross et al., smart companies define how they (will) do business (using an operating model) and design the processes and infrastructure critical to their current and future operations (using an enterprise architecture).\r\n\r\nThe management of information technology resources should be done with the application of engineering principles, called enterprise engineering. Enterprise Engineering allows deriving the Enterprise Architecture from the enterprise goals and strategy and aligning it with the enterprise resources, but it may also be supported by the Enterprise Architecture if the latter is documented. Enterprise architecture aims (i) to understand the interactions and all kind of articulations between business and information technology, (ii) to define how to align business components and IT components, as well as business strategy and IT strategy, and more particularly (iii) to develop and support a common understanding and sharing of those purposes of interest. Enterprise architecture is used to map the enterprise goal and strategy to the enterprise\u2019s resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and to take into account the evolution of this mapping. It also provides documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the enterprise goals and strategy. To this end, advantageous patterns (best practices) can be reused and alternative design solutions can be compared. Furthermore, enterprise architecture may be checked for compliance with laws, regulatory rules etc. Finally, enterprise architecture facilitates the measurement the performance and efficiency of the resources used.\r\n\r\nThere are different paradigms for creating enterprise architecture. The most important regarding the purpose of this workshop is to encapsulate the functionalities provided by IT resources as services. By this means, it is possible to clearly describe the contributions of IT resources both in terms of functionality and quality and to define a service-oriented enterprise architecture. Service-oriented enterprise architecture easily integrates wide-spread technological approaches such as SOA or emerging ones as the cloud computing because they also use service as structuring paradigm. Service-oriented enterprise engineering further develops the enterprise engineering approach selecting service as governing paradigm. The enterprise goals and strategies are mapped to a service-oriented enterprise architecture.\r\n\r\nService-oriented enterprise architecture differentiates four layers of services. Thus, its scope is much broader than the scope of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) and also includes services not accessible through software such as business and infrastructure services. Services of different layers may be interconnected in service (value) nets to provide higher level services.\r\n1. Business services are services, which directly support business processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically (on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository for a given business domain. An example is call-centre services provided by an external service provider.\r\n2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented applications, which are provided as Software as a Service, (ii) application services which are part of so-called Service-Oriented-Architectures  that are a popular paradigm for creating enterprise software .\r\n3. Platform Services provide support of the development of applications. They provide services for the execution of applications, middleware stacks, web servers etc.\r\n4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing power, storage etc. They are an important topic in management and practice collections such as ITILV3  or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have gained a high popularity.\r\n\r\n\r\n------\r\nGOALS\r\n------\r\nThe goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures and the software systems supporting them.

Still there is a need for design principles, methods, and technologies for describing the structure of e-Business systems, its composition of subsystems, and their relationship with the external environment.\r\n\r\nSemantic e-business:\r\nManaging knowledge for the coordination of e-business processes through the systematic application of Semantic Web technologies is the focus of semantic e-business. It builds up on Semantic Web technologies, knowledge management and e-business processes. Challenges address the conceptualization how e-business related knowledge is captured, represented, shared, and processed by humans and intelligent software.\r\n\r\nBusiness Services and Process Manaagement:\r\nBusiness services focus on the alignment of business and IT allowing smoother business operations and business processes. This also allows for more effective business process management approaches concerning the design, modeling, execution, monitoring and optimization of business process life cycles.\r\n\r\nCloud Transition Management:\r\nThe projected benefits of the cloud computing paradigm are very compelling: leveraging economies of scale, automated ad-hoc service deployment, low capital expenses, variable pricing schemes, to name only a few. However, their actual realization and current adoption rates are far from being well-achieved. Enabling corporations to implement efficient new business models utilizing ecosystems of services delivered over the cloud poses a range of interesting management challenges.\r\n\r\nRecommender & Business Intelligence:\r\nRecommender and business intelligence systems supporting both the customer side and the providers side in making better business decision is still an challenging issue.\r\n\r\nSecurity and Trust:\r\nSecurity and trust are key enablers for building confidence in e-business transactions. In order to be effective, dependability and security must be part of the system design, starting at the lowest level. But it should also ensure trust in the applications for the end-user.

Thus, its scope is much broader than the scope of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) and also includes services not accessible through software such as business and infrastructure services. Services of different layers may be interconnected in service (value) nets to provide higher level services.\r\n1. Business services are services, which directly support business processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically (on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository for a given business domain. An example is call-centre services provided by an external service provider.\r\n2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented applications, which are provided as Software as a Service, (ii) application services which are part of so-called Service-Oriented-Architectures that are a popular paradigm for creating enterprise software. \r\n3. Platform Services provide support of the development of applications. They provide services for the execution of applications, middleware stacks, web servers etc.\r\n4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing power, storage etc. They are an important topic in management and practice collections such as ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have gained a high popularity.

To date, the correlated and semantically annotated data available on the web amounts to 25 billion RDF triples, interlinked by around 395 million RDF links. The continuous publishing and the integration of the plethora of semantic datasets from companies, government and public sector projects is leading to the creation of the so-called Web of Knowledge. Each semantic dataset contributes to extend the global knowledge and increases its reasoning capabilities. As a matter of facts, researchers are now looking with growing interest to semantic issues in this huge amount of correlated data available on the Web. Many progresses have been made in the field of semantic technologies, from formal models to repositories and reasoning engines. While the focus of many practitioners is on exploiting such semantic information to contribute to IR problems from a document centric point of view, we believe that such a vast, and constantly growing, amount of semantic data raises data management issues that must be faced in a dynamic, highly distributed and heterogeneous environment such as the Web.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe first edition of the International Workshop on Semantic Search over the Web (SSW) will discuss about data management issues related to the search over the web and the relationships with semantic web technologies, proposing new models, languages and applications.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe research issues can be summarized by the following problems:\r\n\r\n-How can we model and efficiently access large amounts of semantic web data?\r\n\r\n-How can we effectively retrieve information exploiting semantic web technologies?\r\n\r\n-How can we employ semantic search in real world scenarios?\r\n\r\n\r\nThe SSW Workshop invites researchers, engineers, service developers to present their research and works in the field of data management for semantic search.

Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other systems, possibly legacy systems that share very little with it.\r\n\r\nWeb services are at the crossing of distributed computing and loosely coupled systems. When applications adopt service-oriented architectures, they can evolve during their lifespan more easily and better adapt to changing or unpredictable environments. When properly implemented, services can be discovered and invoked dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms, while each service can still be implemented in a black-box manner. This is important from a business perspective since each service can be implemented using any technology, independently of the others. What matters is that everybody agrees on the integration technology, and there is a consensus about this in today\u2019s middleware market: customers want to use Web technologies.

What is the role of ontologies in supporting model transformation or traceability? How can ontologies improve designing DSLs? Are current query languages able to query both kinds of models?\r\n\r\nDiscussions about these and related questions will be supported by the proposed workshop.","notification":"2010-05-14","submission":"2010-04-15","endDate":"2010-06-30","fullname":"Third Workshop on Transforming and Weaving OWL Ontologies and MDE MDA MDSD 2010","key":"twomde-2010","country":"Spain","city":"Malaga"},{"startDate":"2011-08-28","acronym":"BPM2011","description":"BPM 2011 is the ninth conference in a series that provides the most distinguished research forum for researchers and practitioners in all aspects of BPM including theory, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, systems, and empirical findings. With an acceptance rate in previous editions at around 13% the conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality, from a mix of disciplines including Computer Science, Management Information Science, Services Computing, Services Science, and Technology Management.\r\n\r\nThis year\u2019s conference will continue with the broad-based themes of previous editions, and strives to strengthen and expand in several key directions . The conference encourages emerging research on new conceptual models for BPM that attempt to unify core aspects of BPM, including process management, data management, business rules and requirements, and analytics. The conference also encourages the increasing interest in applying established and new techniques, such as model-driven architectures, Web services and Web architectures, SOA, and Cloud Computing, to the specific challenges of BPM. In this context, the conference is also looking for contributions on implementation techniques and details for process or Web service execution engines with focus on new application areas. Finally, the conference seeks to attract papers that highlight the pervasive need for BPM capabilities across application areas outside of business management, including healthcare delivery, digital government, disaster management, and management of scientific and other academic endeavors, and that highlight how new techniques can solve the distinctive challenges arising in those diverse areas. Awards will be given to the best papers in different categories.\r\n\r\nBPM 2011 will be held in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and will be organized by the LIMOS Laboratory, CNRS, Université Blaise Pascal. The conference will take place at the campus des cézeaux which is located about 15 minutes from the city center. Clermont-Ferrand is a medium-sized city located in the heart of Auvergne, one of the most beautiful regions of France: ancient volcanoes, lakes and gorges, historic sites and Romanesque architecture make its wealth.

In particular, effective methods for selecting on-the-fly suitable portions of knowledge available in a given context for drawing conclusions from a set of given facts are strongly required.

Semantic technologies promise to deliver innovative and effective solutions to this problem, facilitating the realization of information integration mechanisms that allow collaboration systems to provide the added value they are expected to.\r\n\r\nTwo fundamental problems are inherent to the design of integrated collaboration solutions: (i) semantic inaccessibility, caused by the failure to explicitly specify the semantic content of the information contained within the subsystems that must share information in order to collaborate effectively; and (ii) logical disconnectedness: caused by the failure to explicitly represent constraints between the information managed by the different collaborating subsystems. \r\n\r\nMainstream EAI technologies deal with information and information management tasks at the syntactic level. Data protocols and standards that are used to facilitate seamless information exchange and \u2018plug and play\u2019 interoperability do not take into account the meaning of the underlying information and the view of the individual stakeholders on the information exchanged. What is lacking are mechanisms that have the ability to capture, store, and manage the meaning of the data and artifacts that need to be shared for collaborative problem solving, decision support, planning, and execution.\r\n\r\nSemantic information sharing and integration technologies will provide an important collaboration enabling mechanism for the emerging net-centric systems and the information grid.

Next generation phones, mobile networks, mobile cloud computing are a few examples of mobile applications where code, users and their devices continuously move. Evolving requirements, such as reliability, security, scalability, performance and privacy, from fixed to mobile settings, has revealed new and important challenges. This is due to the behavioural constraints that mobility poses, and that were not faced in traditional distributed settings. Examples include: dynamic network topology, changes in location, constrained resource availability, communication protocols heterogeneity, unstable connectivity, and so forth. The service-oriented paradigm is a promising approach for engineering open, dynamic and distributed systems. There are a plethora of research issues on how mobile systems can make use of service oriented engineering techniques.\r\n\r\nThe EMSOS Workshop aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry, as well as practitioners in the area of engineering services in mobile environments in order to provide a forum where recent research results can be presented and discussed.

The complexity of enterprise systems; the increasing needs for advanced collaboration between various systems within one institution or among many collaborating parties; and the velocity of organizational, policy, structural and market changes strongly call for immediate mobilization of the research community to develop more flexible and reliable technologies for the development of enterprise systems. Trying to respond to this urgent research need, the VORTE series of workshops has been established in order to bring together researchers and practitioners that are looking into the topics of ontologies and rules in enterprise system development from different yet complementary perspectives. The major objective is to provide a research forum for exchanging ideas and results covering the use of ontologies and rules in various stages of the development lifecycle of enterprise systems. Examples of topics covered by VORTE fundamental research contributions include the ontological evaluation of enterprise systems and their interoperability and the investigation of the use of ontologies and rules in business process modelling. Applied research contributions include enhancing business rule engines and business process management systems by ontologies and formal semantics for rules. From the enterprise system development perspective research topics are focused on relations of process modelling and execution languages with business ontologies and rules, and how business ontologies and rules used in enterprise models are further propagated into technologies (e.g., semantic web) and architectures (e.g., service-oriented architectures) that enable collaboration between heterogeneous enterprise systems. The workshop also welcomes experience reports and empirical studies that are reporting on the use of ontologies and rules in the !\r\n enterprise system development lifecycle.\r\n\r\nVORTE 2011 is the 6th workshop associated with the EDOC conference series that intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas such as philosophical ontology, enterprise modelling, information systems, semantic web, model-driven engineering, business rules, and business process management. The goal of the workshop is to discuss the role that (foundational and domain) ontologies/vocabularies and business rules play in the conceptual design and implementation of next generation enterprise solutions.\r\n\r\nVORTE 2011 is co-located with the 15th IEEE International EDOC Conference.\r\n\r\nCOMMITTEES\r\n\r\nWorkshop Chairs:\r\n\r\nDragan Gasevic, Athabasca University, Canada, dgasevic@acm.org\r\n\r\nGiancarlo Guizzardi, Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Vitória, Brazil, gguizzardi@gmail.com\r\n\r\nAndreas L.

Advanced IT support allows supply chains to increase their efficiency significantly, to better fulfill customer needs, and handle the growing organizational complexity and the associated supply chain risks.\r\n\r\nWhile existing logistics IT systems provide solid support for static, self-contained logistics systems, the research on managing the logistics in supply chains that are dynamically changing, is still less advanced. Service-oriented Computing (SOC) is a promising paradigm, which automates inter-organizational processes with loosely coupled software-based services. The focus of this workshop is the study and exploration of the SOC\u2019s potential to solve coordination problems in logistics systems and supply chains. Key research questions are: (1) How to represent logistics systems in service-based computing systems by employing and adopting constructs, models, and methods of the SOC technology stack, (2) how to describe software-based logistics services with service description languages, (3) how to coordinate software-based logistics services, by employing and adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition, (4) how to negotiate and agree about the delivery of software-based logistics services with approaches for SLA representation, SLA management, and SLA negotiation, and (5) how to control the delivery and how to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of software-based logistics services? With the set of design principles, architectural models and concepts and last but not least with its existing and growing set of standards, SOC promotes adaptiveness of logistics systems and supply chains, a flexible and re-configurable provisioning along multiple supply chains, and their efficiency.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss recent significant developments at the intersection of service-oriented computing and logistics systems/supply chain management, and to promote crossfertilization and exchange of ideas and techniques between these fields. The relation to ICSOC 2010 is that, on one hand, the conference addresses the core concepts such as interacting business processes, service composition, service operations, and quality of services, and on the other hand, would receive feedback, experiences, and requirements from a highly relevant application domain to validate and advance its current approaches.","notification":"2010-09-30","submission":"2010-09-14","endDate":"2010-12-10","fullname":"2nd International Workshop on Service Oriented Computing in Logistics 2010 2010","key":"soc-log-2010","country":"USA","city":"San Francisco"},{"startDate":"2012-06-27","acronym":"ACSD2012","description":"The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both theoretical and applied research on the following topics: \r\n\r\n* design methods, tools and techniques based on models of computation and\r\n  concurrency (data-flow models, communicating automata, Petri nets, process\r\n  algebras, state charts, MSCs, etc.), performance analysis, verification,\r\n  testing and synthesis;\r\n\r\n* hardware / software co-design, platform-based design, component-based\r\n  design, refinement techniques, hardware / software abstractions,\r\n  co-simulation and verification;\r\n\r\n* synchronous and asynchronous design, asynchronous circuits, globally\r\n  asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) systems, interface design,\r\n  multi-clock systems, functional and timing verification;\r\n\r\n* concurrency issues in systems on chips, massively parallel architectures,\r\n  networks on chip, task and communication scheduling, resource, memory and\r\n  power management, fault-tolerance and quality of service issues;\r\n\r\n* (industrial) case studies of general interest, gaming applications,\r\n  consumer electronics and multimedia, automotive systems, (bio-)medical\r\n  applications, internet and grid computing, etc.;\r\n\r\n* concurrency issues in ad-hoc, mobile and wireless networking, sensor\r\n  networks, communication protocols, cross-layer optimization,\r\n  concurrency-related security issues;\r\n\r\n* business process modeling, simulation and verification, (distributed)\r\n  workflow execution, business process (de-)composition, inter-organizational\r\n  and heterogeneous workflow systems, computer-supported collaborative work\r\n  systems, web services;\r\n\r\n* synthesis and control of concurrent systems, (compositional) modeling and\r\n  design, (modular) synthesis and analysis, distributed simulation and\r\n  implementation, (distributed) controller synthesis, adaptive systems,\r\n  supervisory control.","notification":"2012-03-19","submission":"2012-01-20","endDate":"2012-06-29","coordinates":{"longitude":10,"latitude":53.33,"accuracy":0},"fullname":"Application of Concurrency to System Design 2012","key":"acsd-2012","country":"Germany","city":"Hamburg"},{"startDate":"2012-09-03","acronym":"WebS2012","description":"Dear Colleagues,\r\n\r\nyou are invited to submit your papers to the 11th International Workshop on Web Semantics and Information\r\nProcessing (part of the 23rd International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications DEXA), to\r\nbe held on 03-07 September 2012, Vienna, Austria.\r\n\r\nThe objective of the international workshop Web Semantics and Information Processing (WebS) is to bring\r\ntogether researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing\r\nand deploying Semantic Web concepts, applications, and solutions being an international forum for the\r\npresentation of both theoretical and applicative results.\r\n\r\nThis year's WebS builds on this tradition of facilitating cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, experience\r\nand potential research directions.

Data services are introduced to enable the insulation of applications and business services from the physical implementation of data integration, enabling greater flexibility and optimization of data placement, access and quality. A data service is software that performs a data integration task and conforms to the definition of service. SOA implies a clear separation between the consumers of data and the storage and delivery of data. Services that exclusively perform data-oriented tasks at the request of business services, applications and processes will provide this separation, which will be the key to meeting the data challenges of SOA.\r\n\r\nThe concept of data-as-a-service (DaaS) basically advocates the view that any business process can access data wherever it resides. Data-as-a-service began with the notion that data quality could happen in a centralized place, cleansing and enriching data and offering it to different systems, applications or users, irrespective of where they were in the organization or on the network.\r\n\r\nTesting services, and specially data services, have new challengers such as the persistent data of the system needs to be accounted for in order to derive the test suite. Also the processing of queries and the transaction management add new goals for the research community. This first edition of the workshop will be organized as a part of he QSIC 2011.

Places that were previously spaces for conversations are now converted to workplaces. Even at scientific conferences it is hard to spot an active worker without a supporting device. This fact has significant implications for business applications. Companies need to acknowledge that employees as well as clients access those applications using mobile devices.

Software maintenance can be defined as the activity during which one or more software development artifacts are modified in order to keep them available, free of failures, with higher performance or in conformance with new or modified requirements. According to some estimates, around 250 billions of lines of code were in maintenance in 2000. In 1993, around 70 billion dollars were spent in the software maintenance market, only in the USA.\r\n\r\nSoftware maintenance occurs due to many reasons, such as: requirements and environment changes, the discovery of failures in software code, performance improvement needs, need of migration to more modern platforms or technologies etc. Despite of being an established area, in accordance with existing revised policies, the adoption of new development paradigms (e.g.: model driven, aspects, components, and service-oriented), new team organizations (e.g.: global software development, eXtreme Programming, and open source), new scope restrictions (e.g.: short deliveries, time-to-market, and variable scope) etc. bring a revival in the area with new challenges. Although there are many software reengineering approaches already proposed, these new software development scenarios rise the need of new proposals, allowing to take advantage of business knowledge and development effort of legacy systems in new developments.

This vast amount of data takes many forms, including text, images, video and more recently streams of status information from applications such as Facebook and Twitter. Not only is this data accessible through more traditional means, such as desktop and laptop computers, but also via diverse platforms such as mobile devices and set-top boxes that bring unique constraints in terms of computing resources, interaction modes and user interfaces. Through the increasing availability of Web APIs, data that has traditionally been coupled with a specific application may now be exposed through novel interfaces developed by third parties, providing functionality not previously anticipated by data owners.\r\n\r\nIn tandem with the growth of the Social Web, the Web at large has experienced a significant evolution into a Web not just of linked documents, but also of Linked Data. This development, which exploits the Semantic Web technology stack, allows relationships to be expressed between items in distributed data sets, paving the way for integration of raw data from multiple, heterogeneous sources. Coupled with the increasing availability of APIs that expose data from the Social Web, application developers have a wealth of data available to them upon which they can build compelling visual interfaces. Furthermore, in context of recent developments, such as Facebook introducing Open Graph Protocol, Twitter enabling tweets with annotations and Google moving into the Semantic Web with their acquisition of Metaweb, interactions on the Social and Semantic Web are gaining a larger audience.\r\n\r\nIn this context, the ability to easily integrate vast amounts of data from across the Social and Semantic Web raises significant and exciting research challenges, not least of which how to provide effective access to and navigation across vast, heterogeneous and interconnected data sources. However, the need for intelligent and visual human interfaces to this evolving Web is not limited simply to the modalities of searching and browsing, important as these are. As the Web becomes increasingly populated with data, continues to evolve from a read-mainly to a read-write medium, and the level of social interaction supported on the Web increases, there is also a pressing need to support end-users who engage in a wide range of online tasks, such as publishing and sharing their own data on the Web. Exploring different aspects of those developments and their implications for visual interface research and development is one of the goals of the workshop.\r\n\r\nThis workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse, complementary fields to discuss the latest research results and challenges in designing, implementing, and evaluating intelligent interfaces in the context of the Social or Semantic Web. The workshop will serve as an opportunity for researchers to gain feedback on their work, and to identify potential collaborations with their peers.

The \r\nidiosyncrasy of these scenarios imposes several issues that must be solved \r\nbefore providing any kind of intelligence. These issues include searching and \r\nlocating resources, managing context and data (gathering, sharing, \r\ncommunicating, storing and reasoning), ad-hoc composing of resources, debugging \r\nfacilities and integrating legacy and third-party systems. Additionally, \r\ntraditional software engineering requirements such as maintainability, \r\nincremental deployment and evolution, fault-tolerance and recovery or \r\nportability require particular considerations. Thus, programming these spaces \r\nbecomes an extremely challenging task, especially if the previous issues have to\r\nbe solved from scratch. Consequently, in the last decades many efforts have \r\nbeen addressed the design and implementation of software architectures \r\nto mitigate the complexity of programming these environments. \r\n\r\nSAIE workshop aims to gather leading researchers and practitioners focused on \r\nthe development of software architectures for intelligent environments. It \r\narises from the necessity of summarizing the experience gained in the last \r\ndecades, identifying the best approaches and defining open issues. From all the \r\nwide range of possible issues, each edition of SAIE will be focused on one \r\nparticular cutting-edge topic.\r\n\r\nThe current edition of SAIE targets the challenge of evaluating software \r\narchitectures for Intelligent Environments. In the context of this workshop, \r\nevaluation includes both verification processes, and performance measurements. \r\nThis topic has achieved significant advances in other research areas (e.g. \r\nnatural language, signal processing, recommendation systems or machine \r\nlearning). In these areas, new systems and algorithms can be assessed and \r\ncompared through benchmarks, metrics, public test cases, or even annual \r\ncontests. Likewise, evaluation on software architectures for intelligent \r\nenvironments should foster analogous approaches. Nevertheless, due to the \r\ncomplexity of the inhabited scenarios, sometimes intelligent environments are \r\ndifficult to evaluate, thus experience reports from a sufficient number of \r\nlarge-scale or singular but challenging environments are often considered \r\nadequate evaluation methods. In this sense, the report of real experience and \r\ntest bed intelligent environment can also serve as an interesting contribution \r\nof evaluation. In summary, the main goal of this workshop is to analyze and \r\npropose evaluation frameworks for intelligent environments.

In recent years, social network research has advanced significantly; the development of sophisticated techniques for Social Network Analysis and Mining (SNAM) has been highly influenced by the online social Web sites, email logs, phone logs and instant messaging systems, which are widely analyzed using graph theory and machine learning techniques. People perceive the Web increasingly as a social medium that fosters interaction among people, sharing of experiences and knowledge, group activities, community formation and evolution. This has led to a rising prominence of SNAM in academia, politics, homeland security and business. This follows the pattern of known entities of our society that have evolved into networks in which actors are increasingly dependent on their structural embedding.\r\n\r\nThe international conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis and Mining (ASONAM 2011) will primarily provide an interdisciplinary venue that will bring together practitioners and researchers from a variety of SNAM fields to promote collaborations and exchange of ideas and practices.

There is a great deal of\r\nexperience to draw upon in systems development, but many of the tools and\r\nmethodologies for developing such applications comes from ancillary\r\ndisciplines such as user interface design and distributed computing.\r\nProgramming mobile and pervasive applications is more than than building\r\nclient-server or peer-peer systems with mobility, and it is more than\r\nproviding usable interfaces for mobile devices that may interact with the\r\nsurrounding context: it includes aspects such as disconnected and\r\nlow-attention working, spontaneous collaboration, evolving and uncertain\r\nsecurity regimes, and integration into services and workflows hosted on the\r\ninternet.  In the past, efforts have focused on the form of human-device\r\ninterfaces that can be built using mobile and distributed computing tools, or\r\non human computer interface design based on, for example, the limited screen\r\nresolution and real estate provided by a smartphone.  Much of the challenge in\r\nbuilding pervasive systems is in bringing together users' expectations of\r\ntheir interactions with the system with the model of a physical and virtual\r\nenvironment with which users interact in the context of the pervasive\r\napplication.  An example of this is provided by mobile computer gaming, which\r\nmay provide augmented or semi-immersive user experiences that project a\r\nvirtual game reality, including other gamers, onto the physical environment\r\nexperienced by each user. \r\n\r\nDevelopers of distributed systems have several tools to draw upon that\r\nincrease their productivity, and raise the level of abstraction at which they\r\nwork.  Remote procedure call and reliable message queues are examples of tools\r\nthat have succeeded in the past to mask remote communication in client-server\r\nand business-to-business applications.  Transactions and nested transactions\r\nhave provided essential support for handling failures, while other tools such\r\nas failure detectors and append-only logs have been proposed in the context of\r\nbuilding fault-tolerant distributed applications.  For middleware\r\napplications, programming environments such as Eclipse, NetBeans and Visual\r\nStudio automate some of the aspects of configuring and deploying resources,\r\nsuch as configuring JCA connectors to backend databases.  However, it is now\r\nwell accepted that these techniques perform poorly in semi-connected,\r\nsensor-driven, pervasive and dynamic environments. What are the corresponding\r\ntools that designers and implementors for mobile and pervasive applications\r\nshould be able to draw upon?  We can indeed see users at various levels of\r\nsophistication and user interface, from software developers working with\r\nmiddleware tools to end users writing scripts.  What support would be useful\r\nto users at all of these levels of sophistication. \r\n\r\nAnother aspects of mobile and pervasive computing is that devices increasingly\r\nmust take on some \"intelligence\" to perform their tasks, requiring adaptive\r\nand autonomous behaviour on the part of the systems developed.  Mobile\r\npersonal devices such as telephones are envisioned as \"intelligent assistants\"\r\nthat may compensate for the limitations of the user interface by\r\nasynchronously performing interactions with other devices on behalf of the\r\ndevice owner.  Such devices may tailor their behaviour both to the current\r\nlocation and to the ambient context, which includes nearby devices.  Smart\r\nspaces may in turn adapt their behaviour based on mobile devices in their\r\nvicinity, for example, turning off lights when people are not present or\r\nchoosing not to divulge confidential information while untrusted parties are\r\npresent.  At the infrastructural level, autonomic network management adapts\r\nnetwork behaviour to maintain quality of service over dynamic changes in load\r\nand environment, taking advantage of the capabilitiew of the devices actually\r\nbeing used for interaction. Wireless sensor networks must demonstrate stable\r\nand long-lived behaviour with little or no human intervention. Cognitive radio\r\nsupposes a device that senses its radio environments and adapts to available\r\nfrequencies and protocols, as part of its interaction with that environment.\r\n\r\nThe International Workshop on Programming Methods for Mobile and Pervasive\r\nSystems (PMMPS) is intended to bring together researchers in programming\r\nlanguages, software architecture and design, and pervasive systems to present\r\nand discuss results and approaches to the development of mobile and pervasive\r\nsystems. The goal is to begin the process of developing the software design\r\nand development tools necessary for the next generation of services in dynamic\r\nenvironments, including mobile and pervasive computing, wireless sensor\r\nnetworks, and adaptive devices.
