MODEL-DRIVEN DOMAIN ANALISYS AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT: ARCHITECTURES AND FUNCTIONS

A book edited by Dr. Janis Osis and Dr. Erika Asnina, 
Riga Technical University, Latvia

To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=614

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

   Software developers use different techniques for identification and specification of a domain’s
characteristics and requirements for a planned application. Primarily these techniques are aimed at
application analysis, while the problem domain is regarded almost as a black box describing a number of
aspects of the system. The fact that system requirements are constraints set by real world phenomena not
vice versa is underestimated.    Software developers implement not what the customer needs, but what the
customer wants. The reason is that proper problem domain analysis requires additional time and effort,
while customers want to receive a working application as soon as possible. However, the customer’s
needs and wants can differ. Thus a gap between the application and real world exists, creating the
question of what domain is to be modeled at the beginning: the domain of today’s reality or the domain of
customer’s expected reality. It is impossible to be highly efficient !

[Dbworld] CFP: Ontology Driven Software Engineering at OOPSLA 2009

*** Call for Papers ***

International Worksop on Ontology Driven Software Engineering (ODiSE)
http://fluidity.org.uk/ConferenceCalls/ODiSE2009.html

at the ACM Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages and Applications (OOPSLA) 2009
Orlando, Florida, U.S.A.
October 25-29, 2009 (workshop date to be announced)

Overview:

This workshop represents the 6th in a series of related OOPSLA workshops focusing on the impact of
semantics on the development and re-engineering of software systems. These workshops include three on
‘Semantics of Enterprise Integration’ (2001-2003), one on ‘Legacy
Transformation’ (2004) and one on  ‘Semantic-Based Systems Development’ (2007).

The main theme of the workshop is Ontology-Driven Software Engineering (ODiSE). ODiSE here refers to the
different ways in which ontologies (i.e., formalized conceptual models of real world domains) can
contribute to improving Software Engineering – its processes and its artifacts. This use of the
term encompasses different and interrelated aspects of Software Engineering as a discipline. For
example: (1) ontological principles can be used as the basis of improved development languages; (2)
ontologies can help improve the way in which software development projects are organized; and (3)
ontological domain models can drive or refine typical development phases, such as requirements, design
and implementation.  

The motivation for organizing a workshop on ODiSE derives from the increased interest that ontologies
have generated in recent years within the software community. The relevance of ontologies in Software
Engineering is exemplified, for instance, by the successful OOPSLA 2007 workshop on
‘Semantic-Based Systems Development’, various OMG and W3C initiatives, and commercial
products based on ‘semantic technologies’. However, regardless of such developments,

[Dbworld] Call for Papers for the IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009)

Subject: Call for Papers for the IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009)

Due to numerous requests, the deadline of full paper submission has been extended to  June 11, 2009. If you
have already submitted your paper, you can still polish and re-upload your new version by the extended
deadline. Thanks.

IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing 
(CLOUD-II 2009)

September 21-25, 2009, Bangalore, India
http://www.thecloudcomputing.org/2009/2
or http://conferences.computer.org/cloud
  
Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer Society

2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing  is the identified hot-topic conference of the IEEE
2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009). CLOUD-II 2009 will be co-located with the 6th IEEE
International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009).  

The theme of the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) is “Change We Can
Lead”. 

Cloud Computing has become a scalable services delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The
technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and
Virtualizations of hardware and software. The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the
cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. The resource
sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g.
hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a
service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g. Application as a Service, UML
modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g. business process as a service).

In the fast growing Services Computing community, we have launched a series of events to promote and grow
Cloud Computing in the past years. In 2002, we promoted Business Grid to share business processes and
applications. In early 2008, The IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) has adopted Cloud
Computing to be included in the taxonomy as a body of knowledge area of Services Computing. In July 2008,
the IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2008) has delivered a keynote panel
“Business Cloud: Bridging The Power of SOA and Cloud Computing” and a keynote “Cloud Computing”. 
In September 2008, the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2008) has delivered a
keynote “Web Services: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Communication, and Beyond” and a panel "Cloud
Computing and IT as a Service: Opportunities and Challenges" to further motivate the community members
to define Cloud Computing in various areas. 

Based on the technology foundations and industry driving forces, the 2009 International Conference on
Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2009) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers and
industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice
of Cloud Computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Cloud Computing. 

CLOUD 2009 is jointly sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing
(TC-SVC) and Services Society. 

To discuss this emerging enabling technology of the modern services industry, CLOUD-II 2009 invites you
to join the seventh year’s gathering that explores "Services" Science and Technology in the field of
Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. From technology
foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default discipline in the modern services industry. 

CLOUD-II 2009 tries to attract researchers, practitioners, and industry business leaders in all the
following areas to help define and shape cloud computing, and its related modernization strategy and
directions of the services industry.  You are invited to submit research, engineering, and business
innovation papers to the following areas:
    
* Infrastructure Cloud 
* Software Cloud 
* Application Cloud 
* Business Cloud 
* Service-Oriented Architecture in Cloud Computing 
* Vituralization of Hardware Resources 
* Virtualization of Software Resources 
* Cloud Computing Consulting Methods 
* Design Tool for  Cloud Computing 
* Maintenance and Management of Cloud Computing 
* Cloud Computing Architecture 
* Cloud Applications in Vertical Industries 

In addition, CLOUD-II 2009 organizes cloud computing related keynote sessions, panel discussions,
paper presentations, paper posters, innovation show cases, Services University (Fall School),
workshops, and tutorials.   

CLOUD-II 2009 also invites you to submit papers to participate the following key events:

required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation and submission, panel proposals,
tutorial proposals, and review process can be found from this web site. 

Paper Review Policy 

CLOUD-II 2009's Policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents of papers under
review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no
one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which
that access providers. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be
regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall
ensure that referees adhere to this practice.
