(Reminder) Standards for Smart Applications workshop< at >ECAI 2012: deadline approaching

Christian De Sainte Marie — 2012-05-25T16:50:37

(Apologies for cross-posting)

This short note to remind you that the paper submission deadline for the 
ECAI workshop on "Standards for Smart Applications" (S4SA) is May 28: that 
is, next Monday [1].

[1] http://sites.google.com/site/s4sa2012/

If you intend to submit a paper, but you are not sure if you can make the 
deadline, please contact me directly (see contact info on the workshop Web 
site).

Also, the submission deadline is right after the notification of 
acceptance for RuleML (May 27), and one week after the notification of 
acceptance for ECAI (today 21 May): if your paper was rejected and you 
think that it is relevant to S4SA but you do not have the time to adapt it 
to the specific focus of the workshop, just add an explanation in front 
why it is relevant and how you will refocus it if accepted, and submit it. 
In most cases, we expect that it will be enough to help the PC decide 
about its value for S4SA.

For the S4SA programme committee,

research track, dealing with analytical, theoretical, empirical, and
practical aspects of all areas of the Semantic Web. Submissions to the
research track should describe original, significant research on the
Semantic Web or on Semantic Web technologies, and are expected to
provide some principled means of evaluation.

To maintain the high level of quality and impact of the ISWC series,
all papers will be reviewed by three program committee members and one
vice chair of the program comm

The Economics of Reuse: DDD vs SOA

remyfannader — 2012-05-20T04:44:51

While many remain unconvinced by the benefits of reusing software artifacts it's worth to start with requirements and reexamine the economics of the different options.

    You Say You Want a Revolution...

        By: /Jason Bloomberg/ | Posted: /May 14, 2012/


Remember the heady dot.com days circa 1999? We thought we were 
reinventing business, forming a New Economy, revolutionizing the 
essential nature of commerce. In our dreams! By late 2001 the bubble had 
burst, and what we thought was a new /paradigm/ for business---the World 
Wide Web---turned out to be little more than a new /marketing channel/.

Don't get me wrong---I'm not trying to disparage the power and 
importance of the Web. After all, the Web, and the Internet in general, 
have deeply affected so many aspects of business today. It's hard to 
remember the time when you had to talk to a teller to use a bank or a 
stockbroker to trade stocks! But we were wrong that the Web was a 
revolution. It wasn't a paradigm shift. Fundamentally, the rise of the 
Internet was more /evolutionary/ than /revolutionary/.

*Many years spent building integration solutions have taught me a great

I've observed many projects where traditional EAI

assets to the integration infrastructure.*

The recurring feature in all of these projects is the staggering amount 
of legacy code that needs to be written to make, what should be a 
completely configurable adapter, actually work. This isn't necessarily a 
criticism of those specific vendors' adapters; instead it's a comment on 
the futility of attempting to build configurable pre-packaged adapters 
for every possible use case. It just isn't practical.

Every specialization has its own jargon, and IT is no different---but 
many times it seems that techies love to co-opt regular English words 
and give them new meanings. Not only does this practice lead to 
confusion in conversations with non-techies, but even the techies often 
lose sight of the difference between their geek-context definition and 
the real world definition that "normal" people use.

In our Licensed ZapThink Architect 
<http://t.ymlp349.net/uyjybadamqjhaiaubmarambmuu/click.php> course, for 
example, we spend far too long defining /Service 
<http://t.ymlp349.net/uyjyhafamqjhakaubmatambmuu/click.php>/. This word 
has far too many meanings, even in the world of IT---and most of them 
have little to do with what the rest of the world means by the term.

Standards for Smart Applications (2nd Call for Papers)

(Apologies for cross-posting, if you receive multiple copies of this 
message) 

Standards for Smart Applications (S4SA) is an ECAI 2012 workshop on 
knowledge representation standards and integrating knowledge sources, with 
a focus on bridging across heterogeneous standards, as a way to avoid the 
creation of "knowledge representation silos".

Submission deadline: 28 May 2012

The objective of this workshop is to promote research and education on the 
combination and integration of knowledge representation standards. 

Here, knowledge representation standards are meant in a broad sense, not 
limited to what is traditionally seen as knowledge representation in the 
Artificial Intelligence and semantic technology communities: this workshop 
will consider integration and bridges between OWL, RIF, RuleML and other 
?traditional? knowledge representation stand

Quick quiz for all your Cloud aficionados out there: what's /missing/ 
from the NIST definition of Cloud Computing 
<http://t.ymlp280.net/uyeqbaoamhubagauuqacambmuu/click.php>? To make 
this challenge easy for you, here's the definition: "Cloud computing is 
a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to 
a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, 
servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly 
provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service 
provider interaction." Give up? What's missing is any mention of /data 
centers/. Sure, today's Clouds typically consist of resources in data 
centers, running one way or another on racks full of physical servers. 
But there's nothing in the definition of Cloud that specifies anything 
about the physical location of C

Anybody who is considering a move to the Cloud knows that the greatest 
economic motivation for Cloud Computing is the pay-as-you-go, 
pay-for-what-you-need utility computing benefit, right? Deal with spikes 
in demand much more cost-effectively, the public Cloud service providers 
gush, since we can spread the load over many customers and pass the 
savings from our economies of scale on to you. The utility benefit is 
also a central premise of Private Clouds. Build a Private Cloud for your 
enterprise, the vendors promise, and you can achieve the same economies 
of scale as Public Clouds without all that risk 
<http://t.ymlp257.net/uyujuaiamjjwagaeuyadambmuu/click.php>.

Unfortunately, what sounds too good to be true usually is. There are a 
number of gotchas on both the Public and Private Cloud provider sides 
that limit---or even prevent---organizatio
