The IADIS International Conference Theory and Practice in Modern Computing 2012 was held in Lisbon, Portugal, 17-19 July, 2012.
The IADIS International Conference Theory and Practice in Modern Computing (TPMC 2012) provided a forum for research and developments in the field of computing foundations and technology. Modern computing comes not only with efficient concepts and their application, but also it often addresses networking and mobility topics. Hence, the view in TPMC ranged from fundamentals like new or improved algorithms to very recent and modern applications like ubiquitous scenarios or even everyday computing. Complementary to these technically-oriented contents, TPMC also served as a discussion platform about ethics and social impact of those technologies. In its main focus, this scientific conference attracted research reports on efficient application and realization of simple algorithmic methods, new architectures in design and data structures, new and improved communication protocols, and synthesis of known computing concepts and approaches.
This year Conference received 32 submissions from more than 14 countries. Each submission had been anonymously reviewed by an average of five independent reviewers, to ensure that accepted submissions were of a high standard. Consequently only 5 full papers were published which meant an acceptance rate of 16 %. A few more papers were accepted as short papers and posters. An extended version of the best papers was published in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems (ISSN: 1646-3692) or in the Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (EAAI) Journal (ISSN:0952-1976). Other outlets also received extended versions of the best papers, including the "Studies in Computational Intelligence" series from Springer. This series is indexed by DBLP, Ulrichs, SCOPUS, MathSciNet, Current Mathematical Publications, Mathematical Reviews, Zentralblatt Math: MetaPress and Springerlink.
Submissions were accepted under the following 4 main topics: - Design Foundations - Mobility Communication and Services - Realization Aspects - Networking and Grid Approaches
The Conference included the presentation of full papers, short papers and posters. Also included one keynote presentation by Dr. Stephan Lukosch, Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands and one tutorial presented by Prof. Jörg Roth, University of Applied Sciences Nuremberg, Germany.
Keynote Presentation:
TOWARDS EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION IN NEW EMERGING INTERACTION SPACES by
Dr. Stephan Lukosch, Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
Abstract: Designers and engineers solve complex problems using many different tools. Often they work in various projects to bring in their expertise and thereby knowledge is dispersed over different team members, artifacts and systems. The used collaboration support tools are not used on a regular basis, exist in a variety of shapes, offer limited process support and do not adapt to changing needs of a team. As result, designers and engineers often face a complex collaboration environment and have to negotiate and perform adaptations manually. They are not interacting as a participatory system in which all team members trust each other and are willing to act towards a shared goal.
This impacts the effectiveness of the collaboration process and results in inefficient interaction and reduced team performance. This paper discusses the above issues in more detail. It presents previous work on shared data management, pattern-based design, context-adaptive collaboration and collaborative knowledge acquisition. Based on this background, the paper outlines a research agenda towards effective collaborative design and engineering based on new forms of collaborative interaction in traditional as well as emerging interaction spaces
Conference Tutorial :
Managing Geo Data – Usage of Open Street Map for own Services and Applications by Prof. Jörg Roth, University of Applied Sciences Nuremberg, Germany
Abstract: Several applications and mobile apps need access to spatial geo data. They often contain functions to display the user's position on a map, provide route planning or are able to look up important locations. To provide these functions, applica¬tions can use widely available service platforms such as Google Maps. However, some¬times it is useful to have the spa¬tial services and data fully under own control. Reasons could be: costs, license models, service availability or the quality of spatial data.
Nowadays, we can use different sources to get spatial data. The most important source is Open Street Map (OSM) – a com¬munity project to collect and disseminate world wide geo data. Meanwhile, OSM data has a high coverage, high quality and attractive license models. It thus is suitable even for small projects.
This tutorial presents the benefits and issues using OSM data for own projects. Among other topics this tutorial presents: OSM as a community platform, the format of OSM data, OSM data types, representation of geometries, non-spatial prop¬erties and names, classification of objects, topologies and route planning, painting maps, storing and accessing geo data. In addition, we present a sample workflow chain to import, process and manage geo data based on OSM for own projects.
Conference Best Paper:
A MODEL FOR FINE-GRAINED ACCESS CONTROL TO WEB DATABASES: VAMOS – A CASE STUDY by Peter Trommler, Georg Simon Ohm University of Applied Sciences Nuremberg, Germany
Abstract: Flaws in a Web application's access control code could expose core business data stored in databases to the Internet. In this paper we present VAMOS, an ambient assisted living project for seniors, as a case study to verify the validity of an access control model that is based on the notion of the user's "own data." The implementation is based on the concept of parameterized views in a database. The paper develops the "own data" model based on navigation through associations and temporal aspects representing actions in the past. A textual representation of the abstract model is presented and examples taken from VAMOS are displayed and discussed.
The IADIS International Conference Theory and Practice in Modern Computing 2012 was published both in Book (ISBN: 978-972-8939-73-1) and CD-ROM (ISBN: 978-989-8533-08-1).
