           International workshop on Middleware for Sensor Networks
                                (MidSens2006)

                  http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/conference/MidSens2006/

                       November 28, Melbourne, AUSTRALIA

                          co-located with Middleware2006
                        http://2006.middleware-conference.org/

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate research in the specific domain
of middleware for sensor networks, to collect current expertise, to
further refine and integrate different approaches, and to identify
priorities for further research in this field. In particular, it will
investigate how middleware architectures can relieve programmers from the
lowest level sensor details, while still enabling them to exploit a
sensor's resource capabilities in the most optimal way.  This workshop
wants to trigger and guide research efforts to create an integrated
middleware vision, which is required to handle the challenges inherent to
developing and deploying complex sensor applications in an efficient way.

CONTEXT

Middleware for sensor networks is an emerging and very promising research
area. Most of the current projects on sensor middleware are at an early

[Dbworld] Deadline extended for Workshop on MOdel Driven Development for Middleware (MODDM)

Call for Papers

Workshop on MOdel Driven Development for Middleware (MODDM)at Middleware 2006

November 27, 2006 at MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

URL: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~limingz/middleware2006/

held in conjunction with ACM/IFIP/USENIX 7th International Middleware Conference ( http://2006.middleware-conference.org/)

Middleware has been widely used for developing distributed applications, and to solve many significant
problems. But its development and use is by no means straightforward. Model Driven Development (MDD)
aims to raise the level of abstraction for software development by advocating the use of models as the key
artefacts in software development, from system specification and analysis, to design and testing. The
rapidly maturing MDA/UML tools and Microsoft's software factory initiative and the Domain Specific
Language (DSL) support state-of-the-art engineering practices in MDD.

MDD provides concepts and approaches for capturing and reusing knowledge in deployment platforms such as
middleware. MDD therefore has played an important role in middleware domain, e.g.:
* Hiding modern middleware complexity in model-to-model and model-to-code transformation mechanisms
is essential in improving productivity and quality of middleware application development
* Patterns, best practices and domain expertise in middleware development are captured through abstract
models and reusable code generation "cartridges" using MDD
* Analytical models for middleware and middleware applications are useful in analyzing and predicting
application characteristics. These models are often derived from design models using MDD.
* Domain specific modeling using MDD is useful in building middleware-based applications tailored
towards a specific domain.
* Modern IDEs integrate middleware platform specific development with application business logic and
make the business logic layer portable through MDD.

BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION

Neural networks are being used for processing speech, audio, image and biomedical signals for many years. Some of the applications in speech processing where neural networks are extensively used include speech recognition, speaker recognition, speech enhancement, speech coding and speech synthesis. In audio processing, neural networks are used for speech/music classification, audio classification and audio indexing and retrieval. Edge extraction, texture classification, face recognition, character recognition, finger print identification, image enhancement and image coding are some of the applications of neural networks in image processing. Neural networks are also used for the identification of biomedical signals, different diseases, medical image processing and ECG signal processing. The articles related to the applications of neural networks in speech, audio, image and biomedical s ignal processing are spread in the literature across different journals, conference proce! edings and books. The objective of this book is to provide a common platform for all the researchers working in the above mentioned areas to consolidate their research findings in the form of book chapters. Review articles on the usefulness of neural networks in the above mentioned signal processing areas are also planned to be included in this book. The proposed book is aimed to serve the research community mainly in the following ways:

  • The reader is equipped with the basics of signal processing like a course on digital signal processing and is interested in pursuing a research career in the application areas of signal processing. Articles on the fundamentals of speech, audio, image and biomedical signal processing and also neural networks will provide the necessary background for the beginner to start research work in these areas.
  • The reader has completed first courses in one of the above mentioned signal processing areas say speech processing and neural networks and is curious to know how to use neural network models in some of the tasks like speech recognition, speaker recognition and so on. For such a reader this book will be a good starting point since information about the applications of neural networks for these tasks and also rich literature related to them will be present.
  • The reader has used neural network models in one of the signal processing areas say speech processing and would like to know how they are and can be used in other signal processing areas like audio, image and biomedical signals. For such a reader this book will be a good source where applications of neural networks for processing different types of signals can be found.

4) improving search techniques (or engines) with Semantic Web and text mining technologies. 

This track aims to tackle research problems and practical applications for the Semantic Web. 
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers on the theoretical, 
technical and practical issues of Semantic Web and its Applications. 
We are particularly interested in applying Semantic Web technologies 
to specific application domains (e.g., the e-business, legal domain, medical informatics and
bioinformatics). 

Topics include, but are not limited to: 

Semantic interoperability 
Ontology-enabled interoperability among e-sources 
Emergent semantics 
Schema mapping/matching and integration
