DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The 8th Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides research students with the opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, and to obtain feedback from both peers and world-renown experts in the field. Accepted participants will receive partial financial support to attend the event and the main conference. The best paper and presentation from the DC will be given the opportunity to present in a special session of the main ICLP conference. CONFERENCE VENUE Istanbul is a city of unparalleled social and cultural richness. Serving as the capital of two mighty empires for sixteen centuries, Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) and Ottoman, and set squarely between two continents, Istanbul has cultures and traditions that blend East with West and Mediterranean with Anatolian. Each civilization that has made Istanbul its home has left its mark in sublime and splendid ways, and the result a city that gives one the feeling of universal history at every step. Istanbul has always been a meeting place, a crosspoint and a destination. With the Ataturk Istanbul International Airport, getting to and from Istanbul has never been easier. With a capacity of far over 25 million travelers per year Istanbul is less than a three-hour flight from most European cities. Istanbul has a second airport located on the Asian side of the city, Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, which is an important arrival point especially for low-cost airlines. Overall, Istanbul is served by more than 50 major airlines to hundreds of cities around the world.

Basic paradigms of these approaches correspond to their central concepts, such as processes, objects, components, agents, services or organizations. Their inherent properties allow an adequate Business/IT-Alignment. Within the models and systems of this alignment several principle notions need to be incorporated, such as distribution, concurrency, correctness and adaptability. In this workshop modeling approaches will be discussed from various perspectives with several means. While MODBE'13 (Modeling and Business Environments) will take place as a satellite event of Petri Nets 2013 other modeling techniques than Petri nets and their means are explicitly welcome. Furthermore, experts from the application domain will challenge the technical and conceptual solutions. MODBE'13 shall provide a forum for researchers from interested communities to investigate, experience, compare, contrast and discuss solutions for modeling in business environments. During the workshop a part of the available time is reserved for a group wise discussion of challenging questions. __________________________________________________________________ Topics We welcome contributions describing original research that addresses open problems or contributions presenting new ideas regarding modeling of, for and within business environments. Furthermore we also welcome surveys addressing open problems and new applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Modeling * formal methods * representation of formal models by intuitive modeling concepts * guidelines for the construction of system models * representative examples * process-, service-, state-, event-, component-, organization-, object- and agent-oriented approaches * adaption, integration, and enhancement of concepts from other disciplines * views and abstractions of systems * model-driven architecture, model-driven development * modeling software landscapes * web service-based software development * modeling paradigms and their implications * special modeling concepts, such for mobility, distribution, embedding, flexibility * social concepts, such as norms, rules, contracts, communication, co-ordination, co-operation * self-reflective models * meta-modeling * relations to other fields, such as artificial intelligence, human-computer-interaction, simulation, robotics, organizational theories, sociology, psychology * Petri nets for business environments * prototyping, simulation, animation, code generation, execution, testing, efficient implementation * verification based on dynamical and structural methods (e.g. model checking, invariants, reduction rules, model transformation) * use of theoretical results from Petri net theories * (semi-)formal methods * Petri net variants and their semantics * covering concepts such as concurrency, non-determinism, correctness, mobility, distribution etc. * Petri net concepts (dynamic net structures, extensions etc.) * Business processes and workflows * modeling notations, language, techniques (Petri nets, BPMN, BPEL, eEPCs, etc.) * complementary enterprise-, data-, role-, resource-, people-, contract-, application-centric modeling notations * process verification, validation, execution and simulation * formal semantics * theoretical foundations of processes * process management (systems) * adaptivity, exceptions, context-awareness * process ontologies * process mining * inter- and intra-organizational processes * human and social perspectives of process modeling * technological perspectives, such as Grid, Cloud, Web services * embedding of processes in organizations: governance, compliance, business strategies * formal methods * Web service technologies * usage of Web services for business environments * Web services, grid, cloud as technologies for business environments * Petri nets as underlying semantics for Web technology concepts * formal methods * Petri net methods, techniques and tools for designing social concepts, networks, media and infrastructures * standards for business environments * protocol specification * computing architectures * interoperability * service specification, composition, discovery, monitoring and control * Tools, case studies and applications in the fields mentioned above __________________________________________________________________ Submissions The programme committee invites submissions of full contributions (up to 20 pages) or short contributions (up to 5 pages).

The use of software in medical devices has caused growing concerns in relation to safety and efficacy. The increasing adoption of health information systems provides great potential benefits but also poses severe risks, both with respect to security and privacy and in regard to patient safety. Hospital and other information systems raise important issues of workflow support and interoperability. Regulators, manufacturers and clinical users have pointed out the need to research sound and science-based engineering methods that facilitate the development and certification of quality ICT systems in health care. Such methods may draw from or combine techniques from various disciplines, including but not limited to software engineering, electronic engineering, computing science, information science, mathematics, and industrial engineering. AIMS The purpose of the symposium series on Foundations of Health Information Engineering and Systems is to promote a nascent research area that aims to develop and apply theories and methods from a variety of disciplines for the purpose of modeling, building and certifying software-intensive ICT systems in healthcare. A particular objective of FHIES is to explicitly include a focus on healthcare ICT applications in the developing world (in addition to systems used in the developed countries), since unique engineering challenges arise in that special setting. Because humans often play a pivotal role in the process of using such systems, theories from the human factors engineering community may need to be integrated with methods from the technology-oriented domains in order to create effective engineering methodologies for socio-technical systems in the healthcare domain. Previous FHIES symposia were held in 2011, in Mabalingwe, South Africa (with post-conference proceedings in Springer LNCS 7151, and in 2012, in Paris, France (with post-conference proceedings to appear in Springer LNCS). SCOPE FHIES seeks contributions from both the solution domain (engineering methods) and the problem domain (healthcare and health informatics). Solution-domain papers should present their methods in the context of a concrete application in healthcare, while problem-domain papers should be devised to educate the methods community about unique challenges and characteristics of the healthcare domain. Submissions should seek to inform and further the development, adaptation, evaluation and adoption of formally based and rigorous engineering methods in health care systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * modelling, analysis, simulation and verification in health informatics; * design and verification techniques for software-based ICT and software-intensive medical devices; * application and integration of foundational methods from different disciplines in engineering and science to health informatics; * specific engineering challenges of ICT-based health service delivery in different settings, especially in the developing world. For a more detailed list of topics, see the symposium website. CATEGORIES We solicit high quality full submissions in the following categories: * original research contributions (16 pages max) * application experience, case studies and software prototypes (16 pages max.) * surveys, comparisons, and state-of-the-art reports (16 pages max.) * position papers identifying challenges and milestones of a research project (8 pages max.) We also invite short submissions for special sessions: * student papers on work in progress on an MSc or PhD project (4 pages max.) * tool demonstrations (2 pages max.) * proposals to organize birds-of-a-feather sessions or panels (2 pages max.) SUBMISSIONS Submissions should be in English, prepared in the LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), and all page limits are measured in this format. Full submissions (those in the first four categories above) will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the symposium; student papers will be judged on clarity of description and the promise of interesting results; tool demonstrations and BOF proposals will be judged on relevance to the symposium. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers should be submitted via EasyChair, at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fhies2013 Submission constitutes a commitment for at least one author to attend the symposium and present the paper, if it is accepted. PUBLICATION All accepted submissions will be distributed in a technical report at the Symposium. After the event, postproceedings will be published in Springer LNCS. Authors of all accepted full submissions will be invited to revise their papers, in order to resolve any larger issues raised during reviewing. Authors of accepted short submissions will be invited to submit full papers for review and LNCS publication too. In addition, a special issue of a suitable journal is planned, focusing on the overall objectives of FHIES: this will have an open call for contributions.

According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 300 billion applications will be downloaded annually. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software engineering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing, including diverse capabilities as GPS, sensors, and input modes. Applications must be omni-channel and work on all platforms. Activated on mobile platforms, modern applications must be elastic and scale on demand according to the hardware abilities. Applications often need to support and use third-party services. Therefore, during development, security and authorization processes for the dataflow must be applied. Bring your own device (BYOD) policies bring new security data leaks challenges. Developing such applications requires suitable practices and tools e.g., architecture techniques that relate to the complexity at hand; improved refactoring tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages and polyglot development and applications; and testing techniques for applications that run on different devices. This workshop aims at establishing a community of researchers and practitioners to share their work and lead further research in the mobile development area. We solicit contributions related to mobile software development. Topics include, but are not limited to: ? Mobile development environments and tools ? Mobile testing ? Agile development for mobile applications ? Empirical studies and metrics ? Maintenance and evolution ? Mobile patterns, frameworks, and product lines ? Mobile software refactoring, restructuring, and renovation ? Mobile program transformation and optimization ? Practice and experience reports ? Management of mobile applications ?

CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning in Robotics at the International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP). Location: Istanbul, Turkey. Date of Workshop: August 25, 2013. Workshop web site: http://www.cs.ttu.edu/~smohan/krr_iclp13/ Conference web site: http://www.iclp2013.org/en/default.asp WORKSHOP SCOPE Mobile robots (and agents) are increasingly being used in a range of application domains such as disaster rescue, surveillance, health care and navigation. A formidable challenge to the widespread deployment of robots in our homes, offices and other complex domains is the ability to represent, reason with and revise incomplete and inconsistent domain knowledge obtained from sensor inputs and high-level human feedback. Although many algorithms have been developed for representing and reasoning with domain knowledge, the research community is fragmented, with separate vocabularies that are increasingly (and ironically) making it difficult for these researchers to communicate with each other. As a result, the rich body of research in knowledge representation for cognitive agents is not fully exploited by robotics researchers. For instance, declarative programming paradigms provide non-monotonic reasoning capabilities essential for robotics, although they do not always consider the challenge of modeling the uncertainty in robot application domains. In parallel, many robotics researchers are developing probabilistic reasoning algorithms that elegantly model the uncertainty in sensing and navigation on robots, although it is a challenge to use such algorithms to represent and reason with commonsense knowledge. In recent years, algorithms have also been developed for combining logical and probabilistic reasoning, but these algorithms do not support the desired knowledge representation and reasoning capabilities, or fail to address problems (e.g., frame problem, ramification problem) that are well understood in the logic programming community. This workshop seeks to engage the logic programming community in robotics research challenges. The objective is to promote a deeper understanding of recent breakthroughs and tough challenges in the logical programming and probabilistic robotics communities, resulting in collaborative efforts towards addressing the knowledge representation and reasoning challenges in robotics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Knowledge acquisition and representation. * Reasoning with incomplete and inconsistent knowledge. * Reasoning about actions and change. * Planning and scheduling. * Learning and symbol grounding. * Cognitive architectures. * Multiagent systems. We are especially interested in papers describing efforts to integrate knowledge representation, logical reasoning and/or probabilistic reasoning on robots and agents in different application domains. PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions can be in one of the following categories: * Regular paper: the length of regular papers (including figures and bibliography) should not exceed 12 pages. * Poster/summary paper: the length of poster/summary papers (including all figures and bibliography) should not exceed 4 pages.

For example, programmer support has been already impacted by semantic web technologies like RDF(S) or SPARQL. Semantic web technologies and Linked Data principles are paving the way for the Web of Data, a global data space integrated using RDF(S). Linked Data relies on a stack of technologies like URIs, HTTP and RDF to empower information retrieval. The Web of Data will have impact on fundamental software engineering topics like mining, collecting and analyzing software engineering data. Thus, this LODSE aims at addressing, among others, the following questions: What is the impact of Linked Data upon software engineering data? How can the scientific and technical results around Linked Data be used in software engineering disciplines like software traceability and software interoperability? LODSE is an exclusive forum to discuss the contributions and implications of Linked Open Data in software engineering. The aim is to initiate new research aspects in the software engineering community and bootstrap the usage of Linked Open Data principles and Semantic Web technologies in this community. ----------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Scope ----------------------------------------------------------- The workshop aims at discussing the role of different aspects of Linked Open Data in enhancing software engineering. More specifically, the objectives of the workshop are: - To foster the development of linked datasets software engineering data; - To present state-of-the-art research covering Linked Data and software engineering; - To encourage the software engineering community to explore aspects of Linked Data technologies like interoperability, mining and traceability; Topics of interest involve but are not limited to: - RDF(S) exchange of software artefacts - Ontologies for software engineering - Schema sensitivity - Software Engineering by the Masses - Software Engineering Data Extraction - Software Engineering Repositories - Representing Software Engineering Data - Mining software repositories across multiple sources - Semantic software search engines ----------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee ----------------------------------------------------------- Marcello Bax, Federal University of Minas Gerais Serge Demeyer, University of Antwerpen Gerd Groener, University of Koblenz-Landau Aftab Iqbal, DERI Ansgar Scherp, University of Mannheim Daniel Schwabe, PUC Rio Fernando Silva Parreiras, FUMEC University Aaron Visaggio, University of Sannio Tobias Walter, Cap Gemini Christian Wende, DevBoost Michael Wuersch, University of Zurich Yuting Zhao, University of Aberdeen ----------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Organization Chairs ----------------------------------------------------------- Gerd Groener, University of Koblenz-Landau Juergen Rilling, Concordia University Fernando Silva Parreiras, FUMEC University From AHARONA at il.ibm.com Tue Apr 23 14:15:13 2013 From: AHARONA at il.ibm.com (Aharon Abadi) Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:15:13 +0300 Subject: [fg-arc] Call For Papers [CFP] DeMobile at FSE 2013 Message-ID: Call for Contribution The First International Workshop on Software Development Lifecycle for Mobile (DeMobile 2013) http://sysrun.haifa.il.ibm.com/hrl/demobile2013/index.shtml August 19, 2013 Saint Petersburg , Russia in conjunction with ESEC/FSE 2013 http://esec-fse.inf.ethz.ch/ Mobile application usage and development is experiencing exponential growth. According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 300 billion applications will be downloaded annually. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software engineering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing, including diverse capabilities as GPS, sensors, and input modes. Applications must be omni-channel and work on all platforms. Activated on mobile platforms, modern applications must be elastic and scale on demand according to the hardware abilities. Applications often need to support and use third-party services. Therefore, during development, security and authorization processes for the dataflow must be applied. Bring your own device (BYOD) policies bring new security data leaks challenges. Developing such applications requires suitable practices and tools e.g., architecture techniques that relate to the complexity at hand; improved refactoring tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages and polyglot development and applications; and testing techniques for applications that run on different devices. This workshop aims at establishing a community of researchers and practitioners to share their work and lead further research in the mobile development area. We solicit contributions related to mobile software development.

W?hrend dieses Zeitraumes hat sich die Tagung "Vorgehensmodelle" als die wichtigste Veranstaltung zu diesem Thema im deutschsprachigen Raum etabliert. Die Veranstaltungsreihe verfolgt das Ziel, fundierte Ans?tze zu Vorgehensmodellen gemeinsam mit Erfahrungen zu deren Anwendung in der Praxis einem Fachpublikum aus Wissenschaftlern und Praktikern vorzustellen. Der intensiven Diskussion der vorgestellten Ans?tze sowie dem Erfahrungsaustausch wird dabei traditionell eine besonders hohe Bedeutung zugemessen. Im Jahr 2013 findet die 20. Tagung der Fachgruppe Vorgehensmodelle statt. Die Fachgruppe nimmt diese Jubil?umstagung zum Anlass, unter dem Motto "Vorgehensmodelle - Anspruch und Wirklichkeit" auf das bisher Erreichte, auf bisher vernachl?ssigte Themen und Entwicklungen, sowie auf die Herausforderungen f?r die Zukunft zu blicken. Die Fachgruppe freut sich ?ber Beitr?ge, die Diskrepanzen zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit bei Vorgehensmodellen sowohl aus verschiedenen Perspektiven, als auch mit einem bestimmten thematischen Schwerpunkt beleuchten: - Anspruch und Wirklichkeit bei Vorgehensmodellen aus rollenspezifischer Sicht des Prozessingenieurs, des Entwicklers, des Projektleiters, der Unternehmensleitung, des Qualit?tsmanagements. - Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der gelebten Vorgehensmodelle aus betriebswirtschaftlicher, organisationstheoretischer, sozialwissenschaftlicher ("soziet?rer"), psychologischer, ingenieurswissenschaftlicher u.a. Perspektiven. - Widerspr?che zwischen dem Vorgehensmodell auf der einen Seite und Projektmanagement, Aufbauorganisation, Unternehmensstrategie, Serviceengineering und sonstigen Rahmenbedingungen auf der anderen Seite; Ans?tze zur Integration der genannten Aspekte in das Vorgehensmodell. - Diskrepanzen zwischen dem (unternehmensweit) dokumentierten Vorgehensmodell (Standards und Normen, Vorgehen "nach Lehrbuch") und dem tats?chlich gelebten Prozess. Die Diskrepanzen k?nnen sich beispielsweise auf die Praxistauglichkeit, Wirtschaftlichkeit, den Erfolgsbeitrag oder die Akzeptanz von Vorgehensmodellen in der Realit?t beziehen. - Zuk?nftige Anforderungen an Vorgehensmodelle, generelle Daseinsberechtigung von Vorgehensmodellen in der Zukunft. - Methodische Aspekte: Ursachen f?r die Schwierigkeiten bei der Evaluation bzw. Bewertung von Vorgehensmodellen und methodische L?sungsvorschl?ge hierzu. Beitr?ge und Tagungsband Bei den Einreichungen kann es sich handeln um: - ?bersichtsbeitr?ge, die einen oder mehrere der o.g.
