Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe.

La ricerca in informatica in Italia

by Fabio Paternò

Salve, Io ho fatto lesperienza interessante di far parte del GEV 01 nellultima VQR (ed anche in quella precedente), per la parte informatica. Qualche collega mi aveva chiesto informazioni su quanti prodotti sono stati sottomessi nelle varie tematiche ERC relative a computer science, informazione che non avevamo messo nella relazione finale. Mi sono anche detto che probabilmente questi sarebbero dati interessanti a tutta la comunità informatica per capire come sta evolvendo, magari si potrebbero comparare con simili dati nei paesi in cui la ricerca in informatica è avanzata, anche per capire se vi sono aree sovra o sotto dimensionate. Comunque, lANVUR mi ha gentilmente concesso i dati e lautorizzazione a condividerli con la comunità scientifica di riferimento. Li potete trovare a https://giove.isti.cnr.it/Users/Fabio/vqr.png In fase di conferimento dei prodotti alla VQR, ciascuno prodotto poteva essere associato fino a un massimo di tre codici ERC. Le tabelle, pertanto, riportano la distribuzione dei suddetti prodotti in base a tale ordinamento. Come da richiesta, il dato è fornito sia per il SSD INF/01 che per lintero GEV01, con riferimento alla VQR 2011-2014 e alla VQR 2015-2019. Buona lettura ed analisi ! Fabio

by Announce Announcements

*** Third Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals *** UMAP ’23: 31st ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization June 26 - 29, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus https://www.um.org/umap2023/ Proposals due: January 16, 2023 Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23 PROPOSAL FORMAT Workshop and tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF format via the Easy Chair submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23, not exceeding 5 pages, and following the ACM single-column format. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSALS ● For tutorials: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-tutorials/ ● For workshops: https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-workshops/ WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ACM UMAP 2023, the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information, is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program comprising different workshop formats, combining newly emerging, currently evolving and established research topics. Different full-day and half-day workshop schemas are possible, such as: ● Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; participants may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement ● Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper submission and review processes ● Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual or team participation ● Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP general research topics ● Joint panels for different workshops We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit workshop proposals. Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are invited to contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats, we are happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas. We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative structure that may attract various types of contributions and may ensure rich interactions. The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site containing the call for papers and detailed information about the workshop organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their own publicity and reviewing processes. There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop organizers will need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline. IMPORTANT DATES FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ● Proposal submission: January 16, 2023 ● Notification of proposal acceptance: January 30, 2023 ● Send the workshop description & website URL: February 23, 2023 ● Workshop Date: June 26, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone. TUTORIAL PROPOSALS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● New user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g. exploiting data mining and big data analytics for user modeling, evaluation methodologies, data visualization, etc.) ● User modeling and personalization techniques for specific domains (e.g., health sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural heritage, education, internet of things, mobile, music, information retrieval, etc.) ● Application of user modeling and personalization techniques for information retrieval and recommender systems ● Eliciting and learning user preferences by taking into account users’ emotional state, physical state, personality, trust, cognitive factors An ideal tutorial should be broad enough to provide a basic introduction to the chosen area, but it should also cover the most important topics in depth. Tutorial presenters can have one page in the adjunct proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ● Proposals due: January 16, 2023 ● Notification of acceptance: January 30, 2023 ● Camera-ready tutorial summary: May 18, 2023 ● Adjunct proceedings camera ready: May 18, 2023 ● Workshop and Tutorial Day: June 26, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.
