AOSE 2012 13th International Workshop on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED *********** Held with AAMAS 2012, Valencia, Spain, June 4, 2012 http://winf.in.tu-clausthal.de/events/aose12 MOTIVATION Since the early 1990s, multi-agent system researchers have developed a large body of knowledge on the foundations and engineering principles for designing and developing agent-based systems. The 12 past editions of the agent-oriented software engineering workshop (AOSE) had a key role in this endeavor. For 2012, the workshop organizers and the steering committee propose to organize an edition of AOSE workshop aimed at exploring the new emerging role of agent-oriented software engineering as a bridge from the now consolidated agent oriented programming languages and platforms, to recent systems modelling paradigms like self-*, autonomic systems, and systems of systems (SoS). Thus, it is our hope to explore from an agent-based perspective, foundations, models, methods, architectures, and tools for engineering future software-intensive IT eco-systems. The workshop organizers plan to publish accepted papers on a USB stick as part of the AAMAS workshop registration package. Revised post-proceedings papers will later be published in a volume of the Lecture Notes for Computer Science series. GOALS and TOPICS The general goal of this year workshop is twofold: The first goal is to study the role of agent-oriented software engineering in the design phase of agents development. It is well known and accepted that agents - from the software engineering perspective - are of particular interest as an analysis abstraction. This has been true for several years but the most recent advancements in agent-oriented programming languages have proposed new challenges: software engineers may now design and code their solutions in terms of agents. The old need of moving to the object-oriented level of abstraction is overpassed and the new developing platforms allow for a more natural transformation of AO analysis models into AO design models. This reality has been soon perceived by researcher and practitioners. An example of this new trend may be found in the refreshed interest about testing of agents. The second goal concerns the other side of the proposed ideal bridge: the needs of new design approaches specifically suited for facing the needs of self-organizing systems, autonomic systems and systems of systems. In the last years we have seen considerable research efforts on these topics; however, only few of them have their scope and foundations in the software engineering field. Novel efforts are necessary to cope with these new challenges in order to find specific solutions that could bring such systems from research to industrialization. In this context, a means for bridging the above mentioned research (and application) streams may come from the advances on organizations, norms, and institutions. Are they mature enough for being applied to stable agent-oriented languages and for contributing to the engineering of self-organizing and autonomic systems? The proposed aim is find an answer to this question or to propose further hints for future investigations on the application of organizations, norms and institutions to the design of agent-oriented systems. Topics of regular papers include but are not restricted to: * Agent-based concepts for systems of systems engineering * Agent-based solutions for managing complexity in software engineering * Agents and model-driven approaches * Agents and services * Agents for self-adaptive systems * Alignment of agents with service-oriented software development * Autonomy vs. dependability and robustness * CASE tools to support agent-oriented software development in practice * Coordination infrastructures for multi-agent systems * Engineering multi-agent organizations * Engineering self-organizing systems * Goal-oriented design * Implications of introducing agent-based solutions on the development organization * Integration of agents with legacy systems * Middleware integration of agent-based software * Multi-agent based simulation * Programming agents and multi-agent systems * Qualities and tradeoffs of agent-based architectures * Reusable design knowledge: patterns and reference architectures * Social engineering * Software architectures for multi-agent systems * Standardization efforts for multi-agent systems * Testing of agent-based software * Validation of agent technology in practice * Verification of agent-based software AUTHOR GUIDELINES AOSE welcomes the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers with a clear research focus on the topics outlined above. Each paper will be evaluated by three members of the PC. Papers that present a valuable idea that needs further development can be accepted as a short paper. SUBMISSIONS Papers should be between 8 and 12 pages, including the text, figures, and references. The submissions must be formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS style. PDF format is required. Papers can be submitted via EasyChair 'AOSE2012', https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aose2012 The good receipt of your submission will be confirmed by email. PUBLICATIONS Pre-proceedings containing all accepted papers are provided electronically on a USB stick as part of the AAMAS workshop registration package. The plan is to publish revised versions of accepted papers in a Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume. For this purpose, authors will be given the opportunity to revise and re-submit their contributions after the conference.

Workshop on WEB INTELLIGENCE & COMMUNITIES (WI&C'12)
4th International Workshop on WEB INTELLIGENCE & COMMUNITIES (WI&C'12) http://wic.litislab.fr to be held at the 2012 World Wide Web International Conferences (WWW'12) Lyon, France, April 16-20, 2012 *Important Dates:* Paper submission deadline: January 27th, 2012 Acceptance notification : February 27th, 2012 Camera ready paper : March 23rd, 2012 Workshop : April 16th, 2012 *INVITED SPEAKER* We are honored to have a invited talk from Ashwin Ram (PARC & Georgia Tech). Title: Health & Wellness 2.0 with social networks for healthcare *SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP* Web Intelligence consists of a multidisciplinary area dealing with exploiting data and services over the Web, to create new data and services using both Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Communities appear as a first-class object in the areas of web intelligence and agent technologies, as well as a crucial crossroads of several sub-domains (i.e. user modelling, protocols, data management, data mining, content modelling, etc.). These sub-domains impact the nature of the communities and the applications which are related to them. These applications are numerous, and the success of well-known Social Network Sites for entertainment should not be allowed to over-shadow the other application domains, for instance in education, health, design, knowledge management, and so forth. The workshop will provide presentation and discussion opportunities for researchers working on web intelligence applied to collaborative networks, such as virtual communities. The possibilities and consequences of the web usage for collaborative networks are tremendous and new tools are required to satisfy users and service providers. The workshop Web Intelligence and Communities expects contributions on topics such as: Multi-agent models and tools for Virtual Communities (VC) Services and Grid Services for VC, Service oriented architectures Web information mining, filtering and retrieval within/for VC Web-based applications and platforms for VC Intelligent web interaction, querying, diffusion Semantics and ontology engineering for VC Self-* models and techniques for VC Social networks modelling, virtual communities, social intelligence Context-based approach, profile management, personalization and recommendations for/through VC Privacy preserving, security, trust-based computing & reputation systems Applications: E-* (market, procurement, technologies, health, government, etc.) and VC VC and content and knowledge repositories, behaviour modelling and exchange Web intelligence, mobility and VC, Ambient Intelligence, Pervasive computing Performances evaluation, experiments, user feed-back Surveys on WI and VC Semantic Web technologies for Social Data integration and fusion Human-based behaviour patterns and modelling *SUBMISSIONS* The Web Intelligence and Communities workshop welcomes the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers. Discussion papers and demonstration papers (for presentation during the workshop) are also welcome. Submitted papers should be 10 pages maximum in length (4 pages for the discussion and demonstration papers), including figures and references. The paper must be formatted in pdf according to style guidelines of ACM SIG Proceedings Template available here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates All submissions should be done online on the workshop submission web site:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wic2012 The WI&C workshop are traditionnaly followed by post-proceedings published in a renowned international journal (for the 2 last ones, it was the International Journal on Web Intelligence & Agent Systems). Discussions are in progress to decide which journal will publish a special issue with the post-proceedings of WI&C 2012. * WORKSHOP CHAIRS * • Rajendra Akerkar, Western Norway Research Institute, Norway • Pierre Maret, Hubert Curien Laboratory, Université Jean Monnet, Saint-Étienne, France • Laurent Vercouter, LITIS Laboratory, INSA de Rouen, France * PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Altmann Jorn, Seoul National University, South Korea Amblard Frédéric, University of Toulouse I, France Badica Costin, University of Craiova, Romania Calmet Jacques, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Camacho Fernández David, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain Corcho Oscar, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain Currie Ken, CAPDM Ltd., Edinburgh, UK De Coi Juri Luca, University of Saint Etienne, France Delaforge Nicolas, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France Dey Anind, Carnegie Mellon Institute, USA El Morr Christo, York University, Canada Favre Cécile, ERIC, University of Lyon 2, France Gilani Wasif, SAP Research, United Kingdom Halpin Harry, W3C, Scotland Heckmann Dominikus, Saarland University, Germany Kawash Jalal, University of Calgary, Canada Kristoffersen Steinar, Ostfold University College, Norway Letia Ioan, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania Lingras Pawan, Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Canada Lopez Guillaume, University of Tokyo, Japan Molli Pascal, University of Nantes, France Occello Michel, University Pierre Mendes France, France Ramanath Maya, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India Ribière Myriam, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs France Rios Sebastián, University of Chile, Chile Sasikumar M, C-DAC, India Soulier Eddie, University of Technology of Troyes, France Stahl Christoph, DFKI Saarbrucken, Germany Stan Johann, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs France Story Henry, W3C Tarkkanen Kimmo, University of Turku, Finland Teigland Robin, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden Tellioglu Hilda, Vienna University of Technology, Austria van Beijnum Bert-Jan, University of Twente, Netherlands Werthner Hannes, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Ying Ding, Indiana University Bloomington, USA -- *Laurent Vercouter* Professor in Computer Science LITIS lab, INSA de Rouen, Rouen, France Ph: (+33) 232 959 986

Ubiquitous sensors, devices, networks and information are paving the way towards a smart world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to provide reliable and relevant services to people. This ubiquitous intelligence will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed and the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By enhancing everyday objects with intelligence, many tasks and processes could be simplified, the physical spaces where people interact like the workplaces and homes, could become more efficient, safer and more enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, uses these many “smart things or u-things” to create smart environments, services and applications.
A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Research on ubiquitous intelligence is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the current level of computing services to the smart world of adaptive and intelligent services. Started in 2005, the series of UIC conferences has been held in Taipei, Nagasaki, Three Gorges (China), Hong Kong, Oslo and Brisbane. UIC 2010 will include a highly selective program of technical papers, accompanied by workshops, panel discussions and keynote speeches. Established as a premier venue in the area of ubiquitous intelligence and computing, UIC 2010 will offer a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments and systems.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
===================
The widespread use of Internet technologies has an important impact on the way organizations deal with their partners and customers. To remain competitive, organizations are under pressure to take advantage of the information revolution that the Internet and the Web have brought about. Most organizations are adopting Web-based approaches for more automation, efficient business processes, personalization, and worldwide visibility.
Service-Oriented Computing design principles and their implementation technologies such as Web services, JBI, and SCA could help organizations to become more Web-oriented. This should result in building interoperable business applications that can cross organizational boundaries. The development of different industry standards, products and tools for supporting service-based system design and development is advancing at a very rapid rate. Despite all the efforts that are put into Service-Oriented Computing research and development, many organizations still struggle with how to make their core business operations comply with Service-Oriented Computing principles.

Special Issue On Web-Based Enterprise Social Networks
International Journal of Information Technology and Web Engineering (IJITWE) Special Issue On Web-Based Enterprise Social Networks (http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?ID=4768&v=callForPapersSpecial) Submission Due Date: May 2, 2010 Guest Editors Yacine Atif Youakim Badr Youcef Baghdadi Hamdi Yahyaoui Zakaria Maamar Introduction With the popularity of Web-based applications, and widespread use of advanced mobile devices, socializing over the Web has become an integral part of our daily lives. Web 2.0 technologies have further fueled new collaborative applications leading to a new "social" dimension based on which new Web content is being produced and disseminated. This social dimension and new Web content developments led to a flurry of new applications and speculations on their potential to revolutionize future enterprises. Given how enthusiastically people have embraced social networks on the Web such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, new models of social networks could also have a room within the enterprise. Already, some enterprises have deployed many of them to increase collaboration and communication among employees. However, these dominating social-networking Web applications lack some tools that would make them truly efficient enterprise solutions. Sparked by consumer use, could social networks become an enterprise trend as well? Would market shares be influenced? Will employees adopt new practices with the infiltration of social networks in the enterprise? Do we need to deploy new tools/infrastructure/framework? How well this form of socialization benefit enterprises? Could it liberate workforces from the constraints of raditional emails? And, could social networks become a B2B phenomenon? Objective of the Special Issue This special issue provides a forum for addressing the innovative opportunities, which are emerging from the confluence of Web 2.0 developments and social network applications in enterprise contexts. In this special issue, we solicit visionary as well as technology and application papers, which address Web-based social networks implications on future enterprises. Particular emphasis will be given to papers discussing data sharing scenarios, novel technologies or methodologies for building and managing enterprise social networks. We also welcome contributions relating to particular types of applications as well as to cross-cutting issues. This special issue journal aims at catalyzing new collaborations between academia and business operators, focusing on next generation Web empowered enterprises, which incorporates new Web-based ideas of collaboration as well as consumers and business partners Web empowerment. Recommended Topics Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: - Web-based Social Network Design and Evolution - Modeling social networks on the Web - Web Architectures of social network - Evolution and growth mechanisms of Web based social networks - Online communities - Information diffusion in social networks - Recommendation models in Web-based the social network - Web-based Social networking for enterprises - Social network of agents, services, or resources on the Web - Intelligence Emergence from Social Network - Web based collaboration - Web-based 3D environments (Second Life) - Social Security and Trust - Trustworthy social networks - Security and privacy of social networks - Anomaly detection in social network evolution - Data protection in Web communities - Modeling trust and reputation in Web ñbased social networks - Misbehavior detection in communities - Access control policies - Intellectual property in Web 2.0 - Network geography - Geographical clusters, networks, and innovation - Web-based Social geography - International Collaborations in e-Social networks - Data and workflow provenance in Web 2.0 - Cloud computing - Virtual worlds - Evaluation - Social networking management and monitoring - Visualization of social networking on the Web - Economical impact of social network discovery - Web-enabled Social advertising - Use of social networks for e-marketing. - Search algorithms on social networks - Web-based test collection - Benchmark creation - Measures and methodologies - Data mining analysis of blogs Submission To view the full guidelines for submission, please visit the following page: http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guide.asp All submissions and inquiries should be directed to the attention of: Dr. Yacine Atif Point of Contact Email: Yacine.Atif@uaeu.ac.ae _

*SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP*
Internet is a medium allowing services and information exchange in an open and decentralized environment, notably with numerous applications for virtual enterprises. It concerns enterprise information systems, local, regional and governmental organizations but it also involves more and more common users in the so-called web 2.0. The main stake is to use Internet as a technological support to communication, information exchange, service composition personalisation and access by all and anywhere. In this perspective, some work has been done these last years to combine classical techniques of information management with artificial intelligence technologies thus creating a new research domain called Web Intelligence. Research in Web Intelligence contributes to the development of algorithms, models and tools to handle the social and economic impact of the web usages.
The workshop will provide presentation and discussion opportunities for researchers working on web intelligence applied to collaborative networks, such as virtual enterprises and organizations. The possibilities and consequences of the web usage for collaborative networks are tremendous and new tools are required to satisfy users and service providers. Thus, Web Intelligence brings new research problems related to information and service access, quality of service, personalization, privacy preserving, trust as well as other issues.
The workshop Web Intelligence and Virtual Enterprises (VE) expects contributions on topics such as:
* Multi-agent models and tools for VE
* Services and Grid Services for VE, Service oriented architectures
* Web information mining, filtering and retrieval within/for VE
* Web-based applications and plate-forms for VE
* Intelligent web interaction, querying, diffusion

Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering
5th International Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering
Website: http://www.enase.org
July 22 - 24, 2010
Athens, Greece
ENASE 2010 will be held in conjunction with ICSOFT 2010
Hosted by the University of Piraeus
Proceedings indexed by THOMSON REUTERS - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Awaiting confirmation of indexation)
Let me kindly inform you that ENASE 2010 is now welcoming the submission of position papers, whose deadline is set to March 29th. ENASE will be held in Athens, Greece, during 22 - 24 July 2010. The deadlines are:Position Paper Submission: March 29, 2010 Authors Notification (position papers): April 26, 2010 Final Position Paper Submission and Registration: May 3, 2010
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper". Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. We are still awaiting the confirmation of indexation by INSPEC, DBLP, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index and EI. A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) Series. You may obtain further information at the conference Website (http://www.enase.org/). Don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Best regards, Monica Saramago ENASE Secretariat Av.

between AI-engineering and Advanced Information Technology
(e.g., wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks, and
data/knowledge grids), and their role on the next generation of
Web-empowered products, Web systems and services. AI-engineering
refers to a new area, slightly beyond traditional AI, which encompasses:
brain informatics, human level AI, intelligent agents, social network
intelligence, knowledge engineering, representation, planning, data
mining and discovery.
WI 2010 will be jointly held with the 2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT-10). The two
conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and
banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can
attend workshops, sessions, tutorials, panels, exhibits and
demonstrations across the two conferences. We are also planning a
joint panel, joint paper sessions, and a doctoral mentoring program to
discuss common problems in the two areas.

WI'10 also welcomes Tutorial proposals. WI'10 will include tutorials
providing in-depth background on subjects that are of broad interest
to the Web intelligence community. Both short (2 hours) and long (half
day) tutorials will be considered. The tutorials will be part of the
main conference technical program. Detailed information is available
at the conference homepage.
Note: we will not have a separate tutorials registration fee
(i.e., only one conference registration covers everything).

Industry/Demo-Track
++++++++++++++++++++
We solicit Industry/Demo-Track papers by the following methods.
(1) Industry papers of 4 pages can be submitted on the same schedule as
the research track.
(2) Separate 2 page demo proposals can submitted at a later schedule.
(3) Full regular paper submissions can include a demo option.
That is, a full paper submissions will be asked to
specify if they would like to give a demonstration; choice of
demonstrations (while utilizing information from the regular reviewing
process) will be selected based on value as a demonstration.
For options (1) and (2), more detailed instructions will be found at
the homepage: http://www.yorku.ca/wiiat10/participants.php
