CFP: Workshop on Bioinformatics and and Security (BIOS06) (Vienna, Austria) - Deadline: 15-01-2006
by Nguyen Manh Tho 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

1st International Workshop on Bioinformatics and Security (BIOS 06) In Conjunction with ARES 2006 <http://128.131.167.54/ares/> Vienna, Austria 20-22 April, 2006 <http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~stumpf/TAKMA2005prelimprog.html> Call for Papers Technological advances in high-throughput techniques and efficient data gathering methods coupled with a world wide effort in computational biology have resulted in a vast amount of life science data often available in distributed and heterogeneous repositories. These repositories contain interesting information such as sequence and structure data, annotations for biological data, results of complex and expensive computations, bio-medical publications, and so on. Newer and more sophisticated computational techniques to analyze such data are also being developed and made available for public use at a rapid pace. Nonetheless, the multiplicity in the objectives, methods, representation, and platforms of these data sources and analysis tools have created an urgent and immediate need for research in resource integration and platform independent processing of investigative queries involving heterogeneous data sources and analysis tools. It is now universally recognized that a database approach to analysis and management of biological data offers a convenient, high level, and efficient alternative to high volume biological data processing and management. Advances in database integration, query processing, web technology, work flow systems, and object-orientation can be leveraged to develop novel high-performance data management systems for biological applications. But also security is very important in this area and therefore this workshop has these two focuses. Topics of interest lie at the intersection of general bioinformatics and security research. Following is a nonexclusive list of topics of interest for this year. * Security for grid computing in the field of bioinformatics * Information security development processes for sensitive (medical) data * Securing medical data (Information, Data and System Integrity) * Digital Rights Management for medical stored data * Complex relational database management system, with object-oriented extensions and numerous application driven enhancements * Web and Wireless Security Bioinformatics and Medical Diagnosis * Usability and security needs of complex systems * Innovative approaches for securing medical data (access management, authentication, data protection, etc.) * Information Security Management Important Dates Submission of papers: 15 January 2006 Notification of acceptance: 23 January 2006 Camera-ready copies: 1 February 2006 Submission Details Your contributions should be formatted acoording to the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines: 10-point Times, single-spaced, two-column format (see <http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm> here for detail; if the link does not work, see <http://www.tinmith.net/tabletop2006/IEEE/Format/instruct.htm> here for approximation).

Joint CFP: BSN'06 & SoS4CO'06

Please accept our apologies for cross posting. ********************************************************************** JOINT CALL FOR PAPERS BSN'06 - SoS4CO'06 2nd International Workshop on Business Service Networks 2nd International Workshop on Service oriented Solutions for Cooperative Organizations June 26, 2006, San Francisco, California, USA http://elab.njit.edu/bsnsos4co in conjunction with IEEE Joint Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC-06) and on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE-06) http://linux.ece.uci.edu/cec06/ ********************************************************************* Business Services Networks (BSN's) are business networks, that is, a group of cooperative organizations either within an enterprise or between different enterprises, which are based on services. In that context, a service represents a set of encapsulated IT components implementing specific business functions. The service interface is self-describing in order to publish, discover and dynamically bind services using an underlying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), most often implemented using Web Services standards. However, this flexibility with regard to loose-coupling and the interoperability between cooperative organizations is being applied in current projects, especially in industrial projects. This workshop concentrates on all facets of BSN's and the architecture of service-oriented solutions supporting inter- enterprise collaboration, throughout the entire collaboration life- cycle. This includes the consideration of business strategies for the establishment of a BSN with cooperative organizations from different SOA environments and maturity, as well as the design of such cooperation and collaboration starting with the requirements until the final instantiation of the collaboration by discovering, composing, deploying, and invoking services. Based on the composed BSN, the cooperation and collaboration brings new research from the perspectives of business (e.g. provisioning) and technical (e.g. transactions), e.g. monitoring and auditing in a network of organizations. We invite papers addressing business and technical issues of BSN's from various perspectives, including development strategies of new BSNs, design of BSNs, as well as management and execution. We encourage contributions from both academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: BSN Strategy * Business models * Integration alliances and interoperability * Value added for BSN vendors and adopters * Mobile operators, grid services, and utility computing BSN Design * Service-Oriented solutions * Requirements engineering for BSN * Ontologies, document structures, messaging formats, etc. * Match-making of choreographies of different organizations * Match-making of semantic service descriptions * Negotiating of inter-organizational business processes * Service discovery on advanced registry concepts beyond UDDI * Quality of Service (QoS) and Cost of Service (CoS) negotiation * Role of Model-Driven Architectures (MDA) for BSN BSN Management & Execution * SOA-Enablement of software vendors * Service Level Agreements (SLA) * International provisioning and adoption barriers * Pricing and marketing on BSN demand software * Monitoring and enforcement of Quality of Service (QoS) * Distributed stateless and stateful transactions * Role of security, privacy and trust in BSN * Auditing of service evolution Submissions: Please submit papers via http://elab.njit.edu/bsnsos4co/submit. Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the members of the international program committee. We accept papers in DOC, PDF, and PS format. It is planned to select the best papers for a journal special issue. Further details will be announced soon. Registration: Please use the CEC/EEE site to register: http://linux.ece.uci.edu/cec06. For accepted submissions, at least one author must register for the workshop in order for the paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled in the workshop program. Important Dates: Paper submission: February 1, 2006 Paper notification: March 31, 2006 Camera-ready papers: April 20, 2006 Workshop: June 26, 2006 Enquiries: Please direct all enquires by email to <bsnsos4co AT njit.edu>.
