CFP: The 1st International Workshop on Personalization in Grid and Service Computing

Call for Papers
The 1st International Workshop on Personalization 
in Grid and Service Computing
Urumchi, Xinjiang, China, August 16-17, 2007
http://vega.ict.ac.cn/gcc2007/workshop/PGSC07.html

To be held in conjunction with 
The 6th International Conference on Grid and Cooperative Computing (GCC 2007)
 
Research on personalization and semantic basis has become a hot topic in Grid, SOA and Pervasive Computing fields. The Grid and Service Computing paradigm tries to enable all kinds of resources or services being shared or composed across the Internet. Under such paradigm, users will be facing a new challenge, i.e. how to deal with large amounts of services or composite services in dynamic environments, furthermore different end devices will be used. Personalized processes and services in such dynamic environments will improve a user’s experience and facilitate the interaction between user and Grid/Pervasive Computing systems. This workshop focuses on the whole cycle of personalized services in such environments, from foundation of personalization, supporting infrastructure, engineering approach to application case studies.
This workshop intends to provide a platform for discussing issues of personalization of processes and services in such environments. The workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners and developers from the above areas to exchange the latest experience and research ideas.
 
Topics:
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but not limited to, the following:
l          Formalism of Process and Service Personalization
l          Semantic Web and Personalized Services
l          Semantic Infrastructure for Grid & SOA Application
l          Context/Situation Modeling Technologies & Approaches
l          User Modeling, User Interfaces and Interaction Pattern
