NOTERE 2007, Co-chair of the Workshop on Mobile
Computing and Applications
The New Technologies
of Distributed Systems - NOuvelles TEchnologies de la
REpartition (NOTERE) is a
bilingual (French/English) forum for engineers and
scientists in academia, industry and government to
present the recent advances and latest research result
in the design, implementation, deployment, and
evaluation of distributed system platforms, applications
and architectures.
The Information
Resources Management Association (IRMA) is an
international professional organization dedicated to
advancing the concepts and practices of information
resources management in modern organizations.
The CollECTeR
series of conferences was established to link EC
research centres at nine universities in Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa and to form a basis for
collaborative research in Electronic Commerce. Since its
inception, the
CollECTeR group has grown to twenty institutions,
including research centres in Great Britain, Slovenia
and the United States. CollECTeR (LatAm 2005) is another
initiative of this inter university research group; this
third CollECTeR conference in South America is organized
by the
Faculty of Business Administration and the
Engineering Faculty of the
Universidad
de Talca. The Collecter LatAm 2005 also is supported
by the
IEEE and by the
Sociedad Chilena de Ciencia de la Computación.
research & development
> Grants, European Programs & Latin American Projects
We motivate the interchange of
students and researchers to create a synergic academic
contribution in various R&D – Research and Development
areas. If you are interested in academic mobility and
you desire to participate into an European scientific
program or a LatinAmerican project, see the R&D lines
below and contact us sending your curriculum vitae in attachment.
:: e-Government
This research
line aims the interrelation amongst the Workflow
Management System, the XML Familyand its integration with Database
Legacy Systems. As a rule,
the main idea is to separate
the workflow process logic from the
application components. For that, it is suggested to
use workflow process management techniques based on
WfMC Reference Model, Java programming to
implement the process logic, and XML for data and
metadata modeling. It is
suggested the implementation of some applications based
on XPDL, WfMC Interfaces, XML, XML Web
Services, SOAP and WSDL. It is
motivated to
build XML Schemas to generate XML files and to
test XSL files, which may be used to format data
for each possible system front-end like PDAs,
third generation mobile phones and personal
computers. Some NXDB -
Native XML Databases systems can be used as intermediary
systems to recover information based on XML and binary
archives. In each application, it is discussed which
platform of software components adjusts to the required
solutions: the .NET or the J2EE. Finally,
this R&D line is based on the open technologies
above to develop Digital Libraries projects and
Ubiquitous MultimediaSystems for the
workflow process automation of e-government systems.
:: Institutional Repositories of Learning Objects
This R&D line aims the use of the SCORM Reference
Model as a means to create skills to support the
conception and development of e-Learning devices
(contents and systems). It argues that the SCORM,
combined with new technologies/techniques as Metadata
Harvesting, XML Family, RSS, Podcasting
and Feedreaders, offers a substantive approach to
understanding the dissemination of Open Archives
initiatives (OAI, PKP, BOAI, OAIster) and support
Learning Objects Repositories (MIT Library,
Univerisia Courses, etc.) in a variety of contexts.
Furthermore, it hopes that understanding the underlying
assumptions and theoretical constructs will not only
inform researchers of a better way to design and develop
CSL – Computed Supported Learning contents, but
also assist in the understanding of storing,
distributing, sharing and reusing of CSL
contents made into different institutions. This work
was initiated at IEETA in 2004 to support a
Ubiquitous Computing and Learning project and now is
open to receive new partners and suggested projects.
:: Ubiquitous Multimedia Web Applications
The synergy amongst Internet,
Multimedia and Ubiquitous Applications
promises new metaphors and paradigms in the fields of tourism, communication, e-commerce and e-learning. This R&D line is approached on
Framework Web for Ubiquitous Computing,
Distributed Multimedia Services, XML Web Services,
Web Semantics, Grid Computing and
Telematics systems. Here, it is highlighted the
necessity of a distributed platform that shows why
flexibility, scalability and open source
characteristic are desirable for an effective
distributed solution. The (distributed) multimedia is
studied as a question that still needs to be decided,
looking to a “desirable scene” for Ubiquitous Web
Applications.
The constitution of the
network promoted by the Intercultural Center of the City
council of Sóller (Spain) works from 2004 in the
advising in policies of social development and analysis
of social demands transmitted by the partners. The
Network Manquelepi works like an interdependent
structure of organizations of governmental function like
deprived maintaining a global conception on the social
work. We implied in the programs the local governments,
local centers of education and associations.
