Dear Colleagues, Please find below the 2nd Call for Papers for the "Workshop on Applying Adaptive Hypermedia Techniques to Service Oriented Environments focusing on Pervasive Adaptive Web Services and Context Aware Computing" at AH 2004. The deadline for submissions is two weeks from today (1st June, 2004). If you have any queries about the workshop please do not hesitate in contacting Owen.Conlan@cs.tcd.ie. Regards, Dave Lewis PS Apologies if you receive multiple postings. ======================================================================== Workshop on Applying Adaptive Hypermedia Techniques to Service Oriented Environments focusing on Pervasive Adaptive Web Services and Context Aware Computing in conjunction with Third International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems (AH'2004, http://www.ah2004.org) August 23, 2004 Eindhoven (The Netherlands) Workshop Website: http://phaedrus.cs.tcd.ie Adaptive Hypermedia Systems have typically acted as stand-alone applications fulfilling a user's informational needs, e.g. personalised content retrieval and delivery adaptive content and media management. Such Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web techniques are beginning to prove effective in many information based application areas, including eLearning, Information Retrieval, e-Commerce etc. Services, Pervasive Computing Services, Utility Services. Such environments offer sets of 'potentially collaborative' services capable of supporting user applications and context awareness. In particular, research in the Semantic Web community is focusing on Semantic Web representation, discovery, web service orchestration and choreography. Whether using an Ontological approach or other knowledge driven approaches, adaptive web services are now the subject of intense research. In the case of ubiquitous or pervasive computing environments, the features and services available to the user are offered through the many devices in their physical environment creating the possibility of multi-modal interactions. The adaptivity required by such services is obvious but not always well architected. This workshop will explore Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web techniques in the composition of and support for service oriented adaptivity. Areas which will be addressed include emergent service oriented environments such as Adaptive (Semantic) Web Services and Pervasive (Computing) Services as well as more traditional service oriented environments such as adaptive eCommerce, eGovernment and eLearning services. A key focus of the workshop will be to explore the common problems in adaptive composition and delivery for adaptive information as well as adaptive services. Through this workshop the connections between personalisation and (web) service paradigms will be investigated. This workshop also aims to identify and examine the strengths of AH techniques in supporting, and being the subject of, the semantic/ontology-driven composition of application services. Workshop Topics =============== Submissions are invited on original, and previously unpublished research in all aspects of applying adaptive techniques to service oriented environments, including, but not limited to: * applying AH techniques for the personalisation of web service discovery, selection or composition; * service architectures and interfaces for adaptive services; * semantic representations of services, (information) domains, and contextual information; * knowledge sharing and information model interoperability; * reasoning techniques for adaptive planning, decision support or service choreography; * semantic interoperability within the adaptive system; * exploring the correspondence between hypermedia and composite services; * the relationship between service oriented environments and semantic web; * use of ontologies in service oriented environments; * leveraging multi-modal devices in pervasive computing environments through AH techniques Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: June 1st, 2004 Notification of acceptance or rejection: June 22nd, 2004 Final versions due: July 16, 2004 Workshop: August 23, 2004 Main conference: August 24 - 26, 2004 Submission Categories ===================== Full papers: 8-10 pages original and previously unpublished mature research results Short papers: 4-6 pages original and unpublished ongoing research All submissions must be formatted according to Springer LNCS guidelines and submitted as an email to Owen.Conlan@cs.tcd.ie. All submissions will undergo a thorough reviewing and refereeing process in order to decide on acceptance.
