COORDINATION
12th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/COORDINATION

——————————————————————–

* Scope *

Coordination 2010 seeks high-quality papers on programming languages
and coordination models, middleware, services, and algorithms that
separate behavior from interaction, therefore increasing modularity,
simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software
development. The conference focuses on the design and implementation
of models that allow compositional construction of large-scale
concurrent and distributed systems, including both practical and
foundational models, run-time systems, and related verification and
analysis techniques.

Past incarnations of Coordination have emphasized foundations.
However, given the increasing importance of concurrency in almost
every software domain, the organizers of Coordination 2010 are keen
to provide a strong forum for high-quality papers that address
practical aspects of concurrent programming models; for example,
application of concurrency to novel domains, comparisons of
alternative programming models on important problems, or
domain-specific languages.

* Publication *

Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the
conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNCS series.

* Program Committee Chairs *

Dave Clarke Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Gul Agha University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

——————————————————————–

DAIS
10th IFIP International Conference on
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/DAIS

——————————————————————–

* Scope *

The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed
applications, including their design, implementation and operation,
the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering
methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and
practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contributions
on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for large scale
and complex distributed applications and services that are related
to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual worlds
based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms.

* Publication *

Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the
conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNCS series.

Extended versions of selected best papers published in DAIS’10 will
be invited for publication in a dedicated special issue of
Wiley Software: Practice and Experience

* Program Committee Chairs *

Frank Eliassen University of Oslo, Norway

Call for Contributions

ECSA 2010 Doctoral Symposium

In conjunction with the
4th European Conference on Software Architectures - ECSA 2010
August 23-36, 2010, Copenhagen, Denmark
http://www.ecsa2010.org/

ECSA 2010 aims to encourage the young researchers in the field of software architecture to participate to the main European conference on this topic and to contribute actively by presenting their interests, ideas, and preliminary research results in this domain. Therefore, ECSA 2010 introduces a Doctoral Symposium, a dedicated event for the future software architects.

Goal
The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide PhD students working in the area of software architecture the opportunity to present their research and to receive immediate and expert feedback for the successful completion of their dissertation research. Therefore, the ECSA 2010 Doctoral Symposium will enable participants to sustain and discuss their ideas, methods, and preliminary results with senior researchers of the software architecture community in a constructive, friendly, and professional context. The PhD students will receive guidance and feedback on various aspects of their research both from experienced researches and from their PhD colleagues. It will be an opportunity for students to meet and know each other in order to establish new contacts for possible common research topics and projects.

Scope
The technical scope of the Doctoral Symposium is that of ECSA 2010. The list of the topics can be found in the ECSA 2010 call for papers. Students should consider participating in the Doctoral Symposium after they have settled on a dissertation topic with some initial research results. Students should be at least a year from completion of their dissertation to obtain maximum benefit from participation. We invite students at different stages to submit to the Doctoral Symposium:
- Initial stage: is addressed to students who are concretizing their research question and approach; students will be involved in discussions that enable them to think critically about their ideas; the abstract of this category is limited to three (3) pages;
- Mature stage: is addressed to students who are going to publish their preliminary results related to concrete research question and approach; students will be asked to present a talk about their work and will get feedback; the abstract of this category is limited to five (5) pages.

Submission
The student participant at the Doctoral Symposium should prepare a submission package consisting of two parts, a research abstract and a letter of recommendation.
Part 1: Research Abstract
The research abstract must be in English and should cover the following aspects:
- The problem to be solved and its importance in the software architecture field;
- Previous work which has addressed similar problems explaining why they have not been previously solved;
- The proposed approach;
- The expected results;
- A plan for the evaluation of the results.
Part 2: Letter of Recommendation
The recommendation letter should be submitted directly by the advisors. The letter should include the name of the candidate, the status of the dissertation research and an expected date for the dissertation submission.

Selection Process
Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee using the following criteria:
- Technical quality of the submission, e.g., clarity, precision and adequacy of the problem statement, related work, solution description, expected results and their validation plan.
- Overall quality, i.e., originality of the submission and its relevance to ECSA 2010.

Important Dates
Abstract and Letter of Recommendation Submission: May 15, 2010
Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2010

2nd International Workshop on Modelling and Visualization of Web-Related Data
(MoViX’10) August 30 - September 3, 2010,
Bilbao, Spain

http://ulita.ms.mff.cuni.cz/ws/MoViX10/

to be held in conjunction with DEXA 2010
http://www.dexa.org/

Most of the existing data are currently provided, shared and exchanged over the Internet. For
instance, there is a huge amount of HTML and XHTML web pages that extend data with information
on their visualization, RDF data that add important information on semantics of the data, or
XML documents that involve data together with meta-data carrying information on their hierarchy.
Consequently, there rises the need for efficient and usable methods and tools for their design
and visualization. Such approaches help the user to better understand and describe the structure
and semantics of the data and, hence, to propose more appropriate processing methods. In addition,
various types of data models, conceptual schemas and visualization techniques enable users to
omit unnecessary technical details such as correct nesting of XML elements, case sensitivity,
matching of parenthesis, etc. and to focus on important aspects of the particular application
such as precise abstraction of the reality, data semantics, etc.

We believe that our specialized workshop will enable to bring all the related topics together
and provide an opportunity to deal with the known issues more thoroughly, to share the respective
ideas and to discuss them from various points of view. On the other hand, since correct modelling
of data and the knowledge of their structure as well as semantics is one of the key aspects for
their successful management, we believe that holding the workshop in conjunction with DEXA
conference will also provide the opportunity for sharing the ideas with data management experts
and finding new issues and challenges on both sides.

We invite original submissions from research communities dealing with different theoretical and
applied aspects of web-related data visualization and modelling. Areas of interests include, but
are not limited to:

* Conceptual modelling and visualization of web-related data
* Visualization, browsing and exploration of Semantic Web and Web 2.0 data
* Visualization of ontologies
* Formal models for web-related data
* Applications and specifics of existing visualization methods for web-related data
* User participation in conceptual modelling of web-related data
* Evolution of conceptual models of web-related data
* Languages for description of visualization of web-related data
* Tools for data visualization and conceptual modelling of web-related data
* Tools and methods for analysis of real-world web-related data

Important Dates

* Abstract and paper submission: March 20, 2010
* Author notification: April 20, 2010
* Camera-ready paper submission: May 17, 2010

format, with maximum length five (5) pages, following IEEE Conference Publishing
Service (CPS) guidelines.

The review process will be two-round. During the first round each paper will be
reviewed by 2-3 PC members for its technical merit, novelty and relevance to the
workshop. On the basis of the reviews the PC chairs will prepare the list of
accepted, borderline and rejected papers. During the second round the PC members
will be asked to comment the list as well as all reviews. On the basis of this
discussion the PC chairs will make the final decision.

All papers accepted by MoViX’10 will be published in combined workshop
proceedings by IEEE.
