The 13th IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications ~SEA 2009~.

PURPOSE

With the increased size and complexity of software products, software applications are often no longer created by an individual or even a single organization. Instead, applications now commonly comprise components produced by different developers using diverse practices. In order to minimize the complexity of this process, it is beneficial for those working in the field to standardize software development. Large software applications following traditional approaches are difficult to design and test, slow to develop, require continuous maintenance and updates, and are often unreliable. By constructing software products using emerging techniques, software engineers are seeking solutions to these problems and attempting to reduce the period of software development, while increasing productivity, security and reliability.

The primary objective of the 12th IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications (SEA 2008) is to provide a forum for substantive discussion on the emerging technologies and methodologies being developed to overcome the challenges that exist in all areas of software engineering. This conference will also showcase developments in industry, successful applications, and case studies.

The Second IASTED International Conference on Telehealth and Assistive Technology ~TAT 2009~.

PURPOSE

The healthcare industry is constantly changing to incorporate new advances in science and to address new needs within society. Recent developments in communication technology have greatly facilitated the exchange of information and expertise. Telehealth is an emerging field in which health services are transmitted over a long distance using technologies such as videoconferencing, the Internet, store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, satellites, and wireless communications. Telehealth promises to impact the ways that clinical healthcare, health-related education, public health, and health administration are approached.

The field of assistive technology is a fast growing area of study. With the increasing awareness of disabilities in society today, and the rapid aging of many Western nations, it will continue to increase in importance. Healthcare costs in the Western world are exploding, and assistive technology is becoming an indispensable tool in keeping costs down while helping to integrate various disability groups into mainstream society.

Web accessibility is often an issue for people with visual, aural, or learning disabilities. The discipline of assistive software technology addresses many of these concerns through interfaces such as screen readers, teletext, and mind mapping software. Advances in the area of assistive ergonomics help disabled people adapt to the challenges posed by their physical environments, while assistive rehabilitative technology attempts to obviate these challenges by improving the disabled person's condition. Assistive medical technology is closely related to assistive ergonomics and rehabilitation. It encompasses various devices used in treating and caring for the disabled, such as audiometers, wearable devices and telecare (remote monitoring systems).

Telehealth and Assistive Technology 2009 is intended to be an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advances in and applications of Telehealth, assistive software technology, assistive ergonomics technology, assistive rehabilitative technology, and assistive medical technology; to exchange the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas.

All papers submitted to this conference will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee and related technical committees. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and references. The conference chair makes the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of the paper.

Workshop for Women in Machine Learning.

... but this workshop is not about grumbling! Male and female graduate students alike often face questions of self-doubt and career-planning; our goal is to be a force of positive change, to invigorate -- or reinvigorate, as the case may be -- excitement in high-quality machine learning research. In particular, we offer an opportunity for female graduate students to

     * present their research in a friendly, positive environment while also providing critical feedback
     * hear technical presentations on the work of senior women in their field
     * participate in career-focused panel discussions with senior women in industry and academia
     * network and exchange ideas with each other and senior female researchers

MINUCS 2009 - Mining User-Generated Content for Security.

---------------
AIM AND SCOPE
---------------

The vast and growing amount of user-generated textual content, including
online news streams,
blogs, electronic encyclopedias (e.g., the Wikipedia), and other openly
accessible and
dynamically changing data readily available on the Web has led to the
emergence of new
approaches to extracting valuable, structured, and previously unknown
information from
such data. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers
from academia and
industry who develop technologies for mining open-source user-generated
textual data
on the Web, as well as end-users interested in exploiting such
technologies for
knowledge discovery. The emphasis is placed on large-scale text mining
systems and
application-oriented approaches to processing on-line textual content in
the context
of security-related applications. Examples of such applications include:

* global medical and epidemic surveillance,
* conflict early warning,
* early detection of man-made or environmental hazards,
* risk assessment,
* border surveillance,
* cross-border crime detection,
* terrorism counterintelligence,
* other applications relevant for security, law enforcement, and public
health institutions

Due to a multitude of challenges of diverse and complex nature that are
related to automating
the process of mining user-generated content on the Web, we believe that
this workshop will serve
as a forum to bring together researchers from different areas, including
data mining, language technology,
computational linguistics, information sciences, information retrieval
and Web mining, for sharing ideas
and discussion. In particular, we believe that there is an important gap
to be filled, since the
aforementioned research communities have had limited interaction
previously in the context of the
topic of the Workshop. The second major goal is to engage governmental
and inter-state user communities,
and to bring them together with scientists and funding agencies.

ICAART - 2nd International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence.

SCOPE

The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence (ICAART) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the theory and applications in these areas. Two simultaneous but strongly related tracks will be held, covering both applications and current research work within the area of Agents, Multi-Agent Systems and Software Platforms, Distributed Problem Solving and Distributed AI in general, including web applications, on one hand, and within the area of non-distributed AI, including the more traditional areas such as Knowledge Representation, Planning, Learning, Scheduling, Perception and also not so traditional areas such as Reactive AI Systems, Evolutionary Computing and other aspects of Computational Intelligence and many other areas related to intelligent systems, on the other hand.

A substantial amount of research work is ongoing in these knowledge areas, in an attempt to discover appropriate theories and paradigms to use in real-world applications. Much of this important work is therefore theoretical in nature. However there is nothing as practical as a good theory, as Boltzman said many years ago, and some theories have indeed made their way into practice. Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of Artificial Intelligence and Distributed AI, including Agents and Multi-Agent Systems; This conference intends to emphasize this connection, therefore, authors are invited to highlight the benefits of Information Technology (IT) in these areas. Ideas on how to solve problems using agents and artificial intelligence, both in R&D and industrial applications, are welcome. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICAART with an ISBN. A book with the best papers of the conferene will be published by Springer-Verlag. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.

Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat.

The IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering ~SE 2010~.

PURPOSE

Software engineers require systematic approaches in order to develop complex large-scale systems and to integrate and migrate existing solutions. Software engineers need techniques to improve the software reliability, maintainability, performance and dependability, and methodological support to manage the development process effectively and productively. Those working in the field benefit from improved agility in order to respond to the changing requirements and demands and to focus the development process on quality aspects.

The shift towards software integration at higher levels of abstractions often makes traditional methods inadequate. The development of software systems in open and heterogeneous environments or software embedded into other technical systems demands advanced levels of dependability and security. New solutions are currently being sought to address novel software environments such as autonomic and ubiquitous applications. Services and mobile applications emerge as new types of organizational units.

Seeking solutions for the social, legal, and economic dimensions of software engineering meets the challenges of globalized development and integrates all stakeholders as participants into the development, deployment and maintenance process.

The IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering (SE 2010) will provide a forum for in-depth and substantive discussion on the emerging technologies and methodologies being developed to overcome the challenges that exist in all areas of software engineering.

All papers submitted to this conference will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee and related technical committees.

Special Session - Learning from pairwise relationships: non-metric proximities, indefinite kernels, and graphs at CIP 2010.

Pairwise relationship data arise in fields such as bioinformatics,
social network analysis, cognitive psychology, internet commerce,
computer vision, and natural language processing. For such data, the
relationships between samples are naturally encoded by general
proximities (also called similarities), indefinite kernels, or graphs.
Recognizing that standard metric-space learning methods are ill-suited
to learn from these structures, researchers have been developing new
algorithms that natively learn from general pairwise relationships.
Relevant research directions include: generative models for proximity-
based learning, learning from indefinite kernels, and learning on
graphs. This special session will a) bring together researchers from
these three areas to share their recent work, stimulate cross-
fertilization of ideas, and advance the state-of-the-art in machine
learning; b)
introduce the broader community of signal and information processing
researchers to the field of learning from pairwise relationships.

We invite papers on the theory and application of learning – that is
classification, clustering, ranking, and regression – from pairwise
relationship data. Example theoretical topics are: generative models
for pairwise relationships; learning from indefinite kernels; learning
on graphs; fusing metric features and pairwise relationships; human
learning, cognition, similarity, and categorization. Example
application topics are: social networks analysis; internet commerce;
genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics; biometrics, forensics and
computer vision; fraud and anomaly detection; financial engineering;
music information retrieval and audio similarity.
