[Dbworld] MASSIVE 2013: Call for Papers

Fifth Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics (MASSIVE 2013)

September 5, 2013

Sophia Antipolis, France

In connection with ALGO'13 and organized by
Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO)

Webpage: www.madalgo.au.dk/massive2013

Aim and Scope

Tremendous advances in our ability to acquire, store and process data,
as well as the pervasive use of computers in general, have resulted in
a spectacular increase in the amount of data being collected. This
availability of high-quality data has led to major advances in both
science and industry. In general, society is becoming increasingly
data driven, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years.

The increasing number of applications processing massive data means
that in general focus on algorithm efficiency is increasing. However,
the large size of the data, and/or the small size of many modern
computing devices, also means that issues such as memory hierarchy
architecture often play a crucial role in algorithm efficiency. Thus
the availability of massive data also means many new challenges for
algorithm designers.

The aim of the workshop on massive data algorithmics is to provide a
forum for researchers from both academia and industry interested in

[Dbworld] Process Mining Movie

Over the last decade, process mining emerged as a new scientific discipline that provides the missing link
between process-oriented (BPM, WFM, etc.) and data-oriented (BI, DM, ML, KDD) approaches. Process
mining techniques can be used to learn process models, check compliance, and identify and understand
bottlenecks, inefficiencies, deviations, and risks. 

To improve awareness of both academics and practitioners, we made a short process mining movie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oat7MatU_U. The movie shows what process mining is, and how it
works, in less than 2 minutes! (Animation work by 908video)

Want to learn more? Also see the process mining website (www.processmining.org), the website of the IEEE
Task Force on Process Mining (http://www.win.tue.nl/ieeetfpm/), or the process mining book (http://springer.com/978-3-642-19344-6).

[Dbworld] Call for Chapters: Biometrics and Digital Identity Management

Call for Chapters: Biometrics and Digital Identity Management
Editors 
Dr. Abdullah Rashed (Algortimi Centre, University of Minho) 
Dr. Henrique Santos (Algortimi Centre, University of Minho) 
Proposals Submission Deadline: July 29, 2013
Full Chapters Due: April 14, 2014

INTRODUCTION: 
In a mobile era, users (or more generally, subjects) are represented by a set of data called digital
identity, which are used, among other purposes, for authentication. Digital identity is defined as the
digital representation of the known information about a specific subject (individual, organization or
automatic delegated process). Within the digital world, security solutions are necessary to protect
digital identity. Information security provides several identity management mechanisms to mitigate
that threat. Identity management is a wide research and development area that rise authentication
confidence in a system and defines restrictions on established identities. Efficient protection of
digital identity encourages users to enter the digital world without hesitation. Users have a lot of user
accounts (usually more then 20). Thus they frequently forget the full details, and consequently loose
access, or use insecure ways to recall, selecting easy to guess or personal inf!
 ormation for their passwords or PINs, which imposes a serious identity theft threat. Biometrics presents
a very promising alternative to protect against that threat. 
OBJECTIVE: 
Biometrics can change drastically the way people interact with computers, making it possible to overcome
a major security limitation: authentication is always under user control and can be fuelled by malicious
operators. Biometrics systems - that recognize physical or behavioral human characteristics - may
facilitate and enrich social interactions and allow people to naturally interact with computer systems
with minimal training, for domains such as communications, education, entertainment, and robotics.
Among all possible applications, Identity Management emerges since we are pushing our dependency on
Internet based services, for which identification and/or authentication is becoming crucial.
However, to be effective biometric technologies need to fulfill several demanding requirements which
are imposing serious restrictions to adaptation. From limited technical precision and scalability, to

Synopsis: With advances in remote sensors, sensor networks, and the proliferation of location sensing devices in daily life activities and common business practices, the generation of disparate, dynamic, and geographically distributed spatiotemporal data has exploded in recent years. In addition, significant progress in ground, air- and space-borne sensor technologies has led to an unprecedented access to earth science data for scientists from different disciplines, interested in studying the complementary nature of different parameters. These developments are quickly leading towards a data-rich but information-poor environment. The rate at which geospatial data are being generated clearly exceeds our ability to organize and analyze them to extract patterns critical for understanding in a timely manner a dynamically changing world. Computer science and geoinformatics are collaborating in order to address these scientific and computational challenges and provide innovative and effective solutions.

More specifically, efficient and reliable data mining techniques are needed for extracting useful geoinformation from large heterogeneous, often multi-modal spatiotemporal datasets. Traditional data mining techniques are ineffective as they do not incorporate the idiosyncrasies of the spatial domain, which include (but are not limited to) spatial autocorrelation, spatial context, and spatial constraints. Extracting useful geoinformation from several terabytes of streaming multi-modal data per day also demands the use of modern computing in all its forms. Thus, we invite all researchers and practioners to participate in this event and share, contribute, and discuss the emerging challenges in spatial and spatiotemporal data mining.

Topics: The major topics of interest to the workshop include but are not limited to:

  •     Theoretical foundations of spatial and spatiotemporal data mining
  •     Spatial and spatiotemporal analogues of interesting patterns: frequent itemsets, clusters,outliers, and the algorithms to mine them
  •     Spatial classification: methods that explicitly model spatial context
  •     Spatial and spatiotemporal autocorrelation and heterogeneity, its quantification and
  •     efficient incorporation into the data mining algorithms
  •     Image (multispectral, hyperspectral, aerial, radar) information mining, change detection
  •     Role of uncertainty in spatial and spatiotemporal data mining
  •     Integrated approaches to multi-source and multimodal data mining
  •     Resource-aware techniques to mine streaming spatiotemporal data
  •     Spatial and spatiotemporal data mining at multiple granularities (space and time)
  •     Data structures and indexing methods for spatiotemporal data mining
  •     Spatial and Spatiotemporal online analytical processing, data warehousing
  •     Geospatial Intelligence
  •     Climate Change, Natural Hazards, Critical Infrastructures
  •     High-performance SSTDM
  •     Applications that demonstrate success stories of spatial and spatiotemporal data mining

Proceedings: Accepted papers will be included in a ICDM Workshop Proceedings volume, to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, which will also be included in the IEEE Digital Library.

Paper Submission: This is an open call-for-papers. We invite both full papers (max 8 pages) describing mature work and short papers (max 6 pages) describing work-in-progress or case studies.

[Dbworld] 2nd Call for Submissions: Process Model Matching Contest 2013


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

                     2nd CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS                   

                Process Model Matching Contest 2013             

                at the 4th International Workshop on            
    Process Model Collections: Management and Reuse (PMC-MR'13) 
                  Beijing, China, August 26, 2013              

          http://processcollections.org/matching-contest          

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Business process models play an important role for managing business 
processes and are created, for instance, for requirements analysis, 
communication, automation and compliance. In essence, a process model 
defines a set of activities and dependencies for their execution.

Process model matching refers to the creation of an alignment between 
process models, i.e., the creation of correspondences between their 
activities. In recent years, many techniques building on process model 
matching have been proposed. Examples include techniques for the 
validation of a technical implementation of a business process against 
a business-centered specification model, delta-analysis of process 
implementations and a reference model, harmonization of process 
variants, process model search, or clone detection. Inspired by the 
field of schema matching and ontology alignment, this demand led to the 
development of different techniques for process model matching. Yet, 
these techniques are heuristics and, thus, their results are inherently 
uncertain and need to be evaluated on a common basis. Currently, 
however, the BPM community lacks established datasets and frameworks 
for evaluation. This contest aims at addressing the need for effective 
evaluation. Towards this end, the contest defines process model 
matching problems, publishes datasets for these problems, and seeks 
implementations that solve them. 

The results of the contest will be summarized at the contest website, 
presented at the 4th International Workshop on Process Model 
Collections, and published in joint paper with successful participants 
as part of the workshop proceedings. 

-------------------
Matching Problems
-------------------

The contest includes two sets of process model matching problems.

 * University Admission Processes, process models that represent the 
   admission processes of nine German universities. 

 * Birth Registration Processes, process models that represent birth 
   registration processes in Germany, Russia, South Africa, and the 
   Netherlands. 

The datasets and details on data formats can be found at the contest 
homepage: 

http://processcollections.org/matching-contest 

-------------------
Participation
-------------------

In order to take part in the matching contest, participants are asked 
to solve the given matching problems with their self-developed matching 
technique. Further, to publish the results of the contest, there will 
be a joint paper with participants as part of the workshop proceedings. 
As input for the joint publication, all participants have to provide a 
description of their matching technique. This description must be no 
more than 2 pages long (excluding references, LNBIP formatting). 

In sum, participants are required to prepare the following material and 
submit it by email to the contest organizers till July 1.

 * For each pair of process models that should be matched (there are 
   2ª36 pairs overall) a file with the automatically identified 
   correspondences must be provided. 

 * For the self-developed matching technique, a description following 
   must be provided.

Details on the data formats and a template for the description of the 
matching technique can also be found at the contest homepage. 

-------------------
Schedule
-------------------

 * Publication of datasets: May 15, 2013.
 * Submission deadline (results and description): July 1, 2013.
 * Workshop: August 26, 2013.

Call for Papers

First International Workshop on Modeling and Management of Big Data (MoBiD 2013)
		http://www.lucentia.es/workshop/mobid13/

In conjunction with the 32nd International Conference on Conceptual Modelling (ER2013)
		November 11-13, 2013, Hong Kong
		http://www.hkws.org/conference/ER2013/

Special issue in a journal listed in JCR
Best selected papers of MoBiD 2013 will be invited to submit an extended version in a special issue of the
Expert Systems journal
================================================================

Introduction
----------------

Due to the enormous amount of data present and growing in the Web, there has been an increasing interest on
incorporating this huge enormous amount of external and unstructured data, normally referred as "Big
Data", into traditional applications. This necessity has made that traditional database systems and
processing need to evolve and accommodate them to this new situation. Two main ideas underneath this
evolution are that this new external and internal data (ii) needs to be stored in the cloud and (ii) offers a
set of services in order to be able to access to this data. Following this consideration, there have lately
been several proposals (also called as the next generation of database systems) based on Hadoop and Hive
systems (framework inspired by Google's MapReduce and Google File System).

Therefore, this new conception of cloud applications incorporating both internal and external Big Data
requires new models and methods to accomplish their conceptual modelling phase. Thus, the objective of
MoBiD'13 is to be an international forum for exchanging ideas on the latest and best proposals for the
conceptual modeling surrounding this new data-drive paradigm with Big Data. Papers focusing on the
application and the use of conceptual modeling approaches (e.g. based on EER, UML and so on) for Big Data,
MapReduce, Hadoop and Hive, Big Data Analytics, social networking, Security and privacy data science,
etc. will be highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers and practitioners who are
interested in the different facets related to the use of the conceptual modeling approaches for the
development of this next generation of applications based on these Big Data.
