============== CALL FOR PAPERS CBPM’13 (Apologies for cross-posting) ================= Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to CONTEXT-2013 Workshop Context for Business Process Management (CBPM’13, http://grid.lzu.edu.cn/psrl/cbpm) Due to multiple requests, the submission deadline has been extended to August 8th, 2013 (firmed deadline). ================= Call For Paper: CBPM’13 1st International Workshop on Context for Business Process Management held with CONTEXT-2013<http://www.polytech.univ-savoie.fr/?context2013> Conference Annecy, Haute-Savoie, France, October 28-29, 2013 http://grid.lzu.edu.cn/psrl/cbpm Goals The goal of the workshop is to promote the role of context in business process management (BPM) by discussing (1) what the context community can bring to BPM community, including business and scientific workflow management; and (2) What are the challenges of BPM and workflow system that BPM community think context (context-based, context-aware, etc.) may solve. We arelooking for extension of business processes and workflows like context-based BPM, context-based workflow, and if possible,contextualized workflow. Technical issues addressed BPM has been referred to as a "holistic management" approach to aligning an organization's business processes with the needs of users. It promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology.However, the challenge for a large use of business process is the failure in addressing both the dynamic execution environment (i.e. grid and cloud) and the elastic requirement of users (i.e., logic of use). Two lines of research emerge to address this problem. Upstream, researchers try to make explicit the contextualization process in designing flexible and elastic business process forprocess optimization and reuse. Downstream, new technology such as cloud computing could bring a promising orchestration ofbusiness process but suppose a revision of BPM architecture. The technical issues to be addressed are: Where context may intervene for operationalizing business process? What must be the impact of context in the design of business process? What would be a context-aware BPM? How must intervene context on BPM in the cloud? What kinds of context constraints and middleware should be integrated with the business process? Recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of BPM, the workshop also encourages submissions that embrace other disciplines such as Workflow Management, Information Systems and IT Management, Data and Knowledge Management, Web/Software Engineering, Service-Oriented Computing, Social Computing, Big Data, etc. The key criteria for acceptance are excellence and answering challenges specific to the field of context for BPM and even in the cloud computing paradigm. The workshop solicits original papers on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: • Context and BPM/workflow: concepts and theory, e.g. • Context-centric flexibility, adaptability and evolution in BPM • Context-based BPM as a Service or Workflow as a Service • Knowledge and reasoning representation for business process • Security, privacy and trust in Context-based BPM • Other socio-technical aspects of BPM/workflow • Context-aware business process/workflow, e.g. • Context for Mobile and Ubiquitous applications • Context-aware BPM for Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting • Context-aware recommendation process • Context for dynamic selection of web services • Context-based cloud workflows and applications, e.g. • Context-based scientific workflows in the cloud • Decision support systems for cloud-based BPM • People-/knowledge-intensive process • Crowdsourcing and process based on social networks • Context as constraints for workflow design, execution and scheduling, e.g. • Automatic workflow verification and generation with context constraints • Context-based load balancing of workflow engines • Context and Quality-of-Service constraints for workflow design • Context-based process mining Submissions Workshop submission will be electronic, in pdf format only. Submitted papers must not exceed 12 pages and should conform to Springer LNCS style (see below). Submissions should include authors’ names and affiliation and full references.

by Masoud Daneshtalab 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

[Please apologise for any cross-postings] ================================ Sixth ACM International Workshop on Network on Chip Architectures To be held in conjunction with the 46th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture December 7 (or 8), 2013 Davis, California http://nocarc.unikore.it/ ================================ <<Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit the extended version of their papers to a Special Issue on Network-on-Chip Architectures in Computers & Electrical Engineering, Elsevier>> General Information Modern Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) today contains hundreds of Intellectual Properties (IPs)/cores, including, programmable processors, co-processors, accelerators, application-specific IPs, peripherals, memories, reconfigurable logic, and even analog blocks. We are now entered in the so called many-core era. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors foresees that the number of Processing Elements (PEs) that will be integrated into a SoC will be in the order of thousand within the 2020. As the number of communicating elements increases, there is a need for an efficient, scalable and reliable communication infrastructure. As technology geometries shrink to the deep submicron regime, however, the communication delay and power consumption of global interconnections become the major bottleneck. The Network-on-Chip (NoC) design paradigm, based on a modular packet-switched mechanism, can address many of the on chip communication issues such as performance limitations of long interconnects, and integration of large number of PEs on a chip. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions related to design and implementation of many-core systems-on-chip. This workshop will focus on issues related to design, analysis and testing of on-chip networks. We also look for new type of NoC-based computing paradigms inspired by biological systems to solve hard computational problems such as learning, recognition, and complex decision making. Areas of Interest The workshop will focus on issues related to design, analysis and testing of on-chip networks. We also look for new type of NoC-based computing paradigms inspired by biological systems to solve hard computational problems such as learning, recognition, and complex decision making. The topics of specific interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Topologies selection and synthesis for NoCs and MPSoCs * Routing algorithms and router micro-architectures * QoS in on-chip communication * Mapping of cores to NoC slots * Power and energy issues * Fault tolerance and reliability issues * Memory architectures for NoC * Dynamic on-chip network reconfiguration * Modeling and evaluation of on-chip networks * On-chip interconnection network simulators and emulators * Analytical analysis methods for NoC performance and other properties * Verification, debug and test of NoC * 3D NoC architectures * Emerging technologies and new design paradigms * Industrial case studies of SoC designs using the NoC paradigm * Heterogeneity * NoC-based Brain-like computing device * NoC-based platform for DNA sequencing * HPC application and computer servers Besides regular papers, papers describing work in progress or incomplete but sound new innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.
