Extended draft paper submission: EISWT-09 call for papers This Extended Call for Papers of the 2009 International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems and Web Technologies (EISWT-09) (website: http://www.PromoteResearch.org ) is for those who didn't get a chance to submit the papers for the earlier call for papers. The papers received and accepted in response to this extended call for papers will be included in the final version of the respective conference proceedings. These proceedings will be either ready by the time of the conference (i.e., they will be available during the conference) or soon after the conference (before the end of August 2009), based how fast the proceedings can be prepared. Note: If you have already submitted a paper (whether accepted or rejected or currently under review) for MULTICONF-09, please DO NOT submit that paper again to this extended call for papers. IMPORTANT DATES: Draft paper submission date: May 11, 2009 Acceptance/rejection decision: May 21, 2009 Camera ready paper and copyright and pre-registration due: May 28, 2009 Conference dates: July 13-16, 2009 EISWT-09 will be held during July 13-16 2009 in Orlando, FL, USA. We invite draft paper submissions. The conference will take place at the same time and venue where several other international conferences are taking place. The other conferences include: • International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (AIPR-09) • International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Control Systems (ARCS-09) • International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-09) • International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking and Communication Systems (HPCNCS-09) • International Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ISP-09) • International Conference on Recent Advances in Information Technology and Applications (RAITA-09) • International Conference on Software Engineering Theory and Practice (SETP-09) • International Conference on Theory and Applications of Computational Science (TACS-09) • International Conference on Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (TMFCS-09) The website http://www.PromoteResearch.org contains more details.

Hi,

I recently came across the W3C standard Annotea. This format was being suggested because Nuxeo/ECM allowed for ease of use and little programming efforts. They played well together.  Are other W3C standards under discussions similar to Annotea where they play well with other open source ECM’s or is there encouragement to use W3C standards as a way to make open source more interoperable? I would like to be knowledgeable of these types of initiatives so I can look at my schemas and DTDs and see where efforts can be reduced with our programming staff.

Thanks

CALL FOR PAPERS

4th Special Track on Ontologies for Biomedical Systems
3-4 August 2009
Albuquerque, New Mexico

http://cbms09.biomap.org/

22nd IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems

http://cvial.ee.ttu.edu/cbms2009/
----------

Biomedical Ontologies have developed in an uncoordinated way, often reflecting mere relations of 'association' between what are called 'concepts', and serving primarily the purposes of information extraction from on-line biomedical literature and databases. In recent years, we have learned a great deal about the criteria which must be satisfied if ontology is to allow true information integration and automatic reasoning across data and information derived from different sources. The goal of this track is to survey existing biomedical ontologies and reform them in such a way as to allow true information integration in biomedical domain. Authors are invited to submit original papers exploring the theories, techniques, and applications of biomedical ontologies. Papers are invited (but not limited) to the following themes:

* Biomedical Ontologies for Genetics, Proteomics, Diseases, Privacy etc
* Conceptual Models for Biological and Medical Data
* Semantics in Biological Data Modeling
* Use of semantics to manage Interoperation in Biomedical Databases
* Semantic Web technologies and formalisms for Biomedical Data
* Ontology representation and exchange languages for bioinformatics
* Biomedical Ontologies and OWL
* Biological Data Integration and Management using Ontologies
* Biomedical Data Engineering using Ontologies
* Application of Biomedical Ontologies for Heterogeneous Database Access
* Query Optimization Techniques for Biomedical Database using Ontologies
* Support of Ontologies for Biological Information Retrieval and Web Services
* Change Management in Biomedical Ontologies
* Tools for Development and Management of Biomedical Ontologies

PAPER SUBMISSION:

No hardcopy submissions are being accepted. Electronic submissions of original technical research papers will only be accepted in PDF format. Use a maximum of 6 pages IEEE two-column format, including figures and references. All submissions will be done electronically via the CBMS 2009 web submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeecbms2009). Select the track "Ontologies for Biomedical Systems", provide the information about the paper title, authors, keywords, and corresponding author's information (telephone, fax, mailing address, e-mail address). Please note that author names should not appear on the paper. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper at the CBMS 2009 Symposium. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two independent referees. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. Selected papers from the track will be published in Special Issue of International Journal of Healthcare Information Systems and Informatics (IJHISI) in 2010.

IMPORTANT DATES:

April 1, 2009     Paper Submission Due
May 25, 2009     Notification of acceptance
June 21, 2009     Final camera-ready paper due
June 21, 2009     Pre-registration deadline

You must pre-register to have your paper published in the proceedings. If you only plan to attend and are not submitting a paper, pre-registration is still strongly encouraged.

Special Track on SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare
3-4 August 2009
Albuquerque, New Mexico

http://sdsh09.biomap.org/

22nd IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems

http://cvial.ee.ttu.edu/cbms2009/
----------

The aging population phenomenon together with community based care models is driving the need for healthcare to seek support for the capture, collection, transmission, real time assessment, storage and data mining of data presented as data streams. A plethora of medical devices in healthcare facilities, within the home and even within clothing is generating data streams at frequencies up to 1000 readings a second. Services Computing has been described as a cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of bridging the gap between Business Services and IT Services supported by Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), transformation and integration. Healthcare is often perceived to lag behind other industry sectors in its uptake and adoption of new technology. Opportunities abound for the unique aspects of data stream models in healthcare to drive fundamental computing and IT research together with leading applied research within the healthcare domain.

This special track invites papers with research contributions in the domain of Services Oriented Architectures for Data Streams in Healthcare. The topics include but are not limited to:

* Trends and Challenges of SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare
* Barriers to adoption of SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare
* SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare Methodologies
* Legal and Regulatory requirements concerning SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare
* New models of healthcare delivery supported by SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare
* Services performance issues (e.g. Availability, Reliability and Security)
* Management and monitoring of SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare
* The integration of patient journey modeling with SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare
* Case Studies in SOA for Data Streams in Healthcare 

PAPER SUBMISSION:

No hardcopy submissions are being accepted. Electronic submissions of original technical research papers will only be accepted in PDF format. Use a maximum of 6 pages IEEE two-column format, including figures and references. All submissions will be done electronically via the CBMS 2009 web submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeecbms2009).
