Formal Methods (FM) and Agile Methods (AM) are often seen as antagonists in the field of software methodololgy, but this does not necessarily be the case.

 

For this workshop we are seeking novel contributions that can be used for making rapid development techniques more formally sound, as well as for accelerating the speed of formally sound development techniques.

 

This could be done for example, by: providing the "agile team" with sound CASE tool support or by adopting "agile" work-modes (such as: working in pairs, etc.) into the practice of formal modelling.

 

The Programme Committee of our workshop has members from both areas, FM and AM; each submission will be carefully reviewed with regard to its contribution to the theme of the workshop, namely the feasible combination of FM+AM.

 

For all further details about this workshop, please see its website at fm-am-2010.tripod.com; Submission via www.easychair.org/conferences/

 

Important Dates:

1.) Deadline for Abstract: 25th of June (mandatory step!)

Sportinformatik und Sporttechnologie haben traditionell ein enges Verhältnis. Als technologiebezogene Teildisziplinen der Sportwissenschaft stehen sie nicht nur in inhaltlicher Nähe, sondern kennzeichnen sich auch durch gemeinsame Forschungsthemen, die sich nur mit Expertise auf beiden Gebieten bearbeiten lassen. Beispiele hierfür sind die Konstruktion und Optimierung von Sport- und Trainingsgeräten, die Entwicklung von Mess- und Diagnosesystemen sowie die Modellierung und Simulationen von sportbezogenen Prozessen.

 

Ziel des Symposiums ist es, Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus beiden Bereichen zu einem Austausch über den aktuellen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsstand zusammenzubringen. Neben Arbeitskreisen zu ausgewählten Themen der Sportinformatik bzw. Sporttechnologie ist eine Podiumsdiskussion geplant, in der verbindende und distinguierende Momente der beiden Fächer identifiziert und Fragen der nationalen und internationalen Ausrichtung von Sportinformatik und Sporttechnologie diskutiert werden.

Mikroelektronik wird vermehrt in eingebetteten, autonomen und so genannten „Cyber Physical“ Systemen eingesetzt, die unmittelbar mit Mensch und Umwelt kommunizieren. Ihr Be-trieb ohne direkten menschlichen Eingriff stellt besonders hohe Anforderungen an die Zuverlässigkeit der Informationsverarbeitung in Hard- und Software im gesamten Lebenszyklus.

 

Zugleich hat die Sicherstellung der Zuverlässigkeit zentrale wirtschaftliche Aspekte, die von der Qualitätssicherung bis zur Produkthaftung reichen. Dem steht gegenüber, dass bei weiter sinkenden Strukturgrößen in der Mikroelektronik die gefertigten elementaren Komponenten wie Transistoren und Leitungen über einen sehr großen Parameterbereich variieren.

 

Es besteht dringender Bedarf an innovativen Verfahren, um die Ausbeute, Zuverlässigkeit und Diagnosefähigkeit von mikro- und nanoelektronischen Systemen durch Fehlertoleranz, integrierte Reparaturmechanismen und Diag-nosehilfsmittel zu gewährleisten und ihre Quali-tät durch entsprechende Entwurfs-, Verifikations- und Testverfahren über alle Systemebenen sicher zu stellen. Diese Verfahren müssen sowohl Fertigungsfehler und Parameterschwankungen als auch Störungen während des Betriebs kompensieren können.

The Faculty of Computer Science and Automation takes great pleasure in inviting researchers, students, practitioners and all who are interested in technology to come to Ilmenau University of Technology on 13th – 17th September 2010 for the 55th International Scientific Colloquium (IWK). The IWK looks back on a long tradition and has proved itself again and again to be the best of platforms for scientific exchange, whatever the different political, economic or scientific situation.

 

This year’s title is Crossing Borders within the ABC of Automation, Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. This breadth represents the many fields in which the Faculty of Computer Science and Automation excels in research and teaching. The interdisciplinary nature of the Faculty’s work crosses not only the borders between the departments in Ilmenau but those between Ilmenau and other research or teaching establishments within Germany and beyond. This multiple competence in engineering and computing is acknowledged internationally. With both our own interests and those of our University’s partners in mind, it is our intention to maintain this edge long-term and on a sustainable basis. The organising committee has decided to offer the 2010 IWK in the form of workhops.

Experience obtained in many international conferences suggests that academic meetings function most effectively when there is this form of scientific discussion and exchange of information. New research projects and teaching concepts are often a result. You may choose the workshops that you feel most at home in from the topic point of view. At the same time the fact that there are so many workshops means that members of all workshops will come in contact with neighbouring topics. Such synergy is just the intention of the organisers, who wish to encourage interdisciplinary research and development.

 

Please accept this invitation as a challenge to withstand the trends of passing fashion and resist inflationary pressure to publish; come to share in this setting where quality is written as large as originality and creativity: the International Scientific Colloquium in Ilmenau in 2010. Take the opportunity of presenting your innovative work and your current research results.

 

We know we can rely on participants to play an active role in helping to coordinate what will doubtlessly be discussions and conversations of great interest to all, and we thank you in advance.

Most visible biometric applications on the market are “mandatory” applications for state security, such as border control and national ID programmes. At the same time biometrics has become a technology with which European citizens voluntarily interact daily as an enabling, convenient technology. Among these are applications in e-commerce, e-banking and health monitoring, and also voluntary security applications such as positive identification for fast tracking border control. All of these are expected to have a profound ethical, social, and legal impact on everyday life. The first large scale implementations of biometric identity management systems revealed basic challenges requiring further research and development in order to improve the state-of-the-art towards higher maturity and better biometric performance, interoperability, scalability, system reliability and usability. An emphasis is given on protection against identity fraud and spoofing attacks.

The BIOSIG 2010 conference will present best practices that can be transferred into future applications.

BIOSIG 2010 on September 09.-10. is jointly organized by the Competence Center for Applied Security Technology (CAST), the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik – BSI), the Biometric European Stakeholders Network (BEST Network), the EU Joint Research Centre, and the special interest group BIOSIG of the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.

Stories and story-telling are cultural achievements of significant relevance even in modern times. Nowadays, story-telling is being enhanced with the convergence of sociology, pedagogy, and technology. Recently, computer gaming is also deployed for educational purposes and has proved to be an effective approach to mental stimulation and intelligence development. Many conceptual similarities and some procedural correlation exist between story-telling and educational gaming. Therefore these two areas can be clubbed for research on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). Many facets of story-telling and educational gaming emulate real life processes, which can be represented either as complex story graphs or as interleaved sub-problems.

 

While the integration of learning and gaming provides a great opportunity, several motivational challenges must also be addressed to ensure successful realization. Non-linear digital stories are an ideal starting point for the creation of educational games, since each story addresses a certain problem, so that the story recipient can benefit from other users’ experiences. This leads to the development of more realistic stories providing the kernel for non-trivial educational videogames. These stories cover the instructional part of an educational game, while the game adds the motivation and engagement part.

 

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers, experts and practitioners from the domains of non-linear digital interactive story-telling and educational gaming to share ideas and knowledge. There is a great amount of separate research in these two fields and the celebration of this workshop will allow the participants to discover and leverage potential synergies.

Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

• Theories in story-telling and games

• Story-telling and educational game design paradigms

• Augmented story-telling and gaming

• Story-telling and educational gaming with social software

• Mobile story-telling and educational gaming

• Cross-media/transmedia story-telling and gaming

• Computer gaming for story-telling (Game design for narrative architectures)

• Multimedia story and game authoring

• Story-telling for creating educational game content

• Story-telling and educational gaming applications
