  1- Information and Communication Technologies for Services Modeling, Services Composition and Services Management

  Call for Papers

Abstract:
     The communication technologies and information systems associated with navigation systems are understood as any solution that can communicate and provide useful information in the management and organization of distributed and complex systems. In recent years, there has been growing interest in composition, interaction and collaboration of services. Interoperability and information sharing between services of different and distributed organizations are primordial tasks in discovering and providing pertinent services. However, approaches, methodologies and tool commonly adopted in this area are still limited and may not be successful with complex, distributed and large-scale organizations.
This session will emphasize information systems and communication technologies, Web technologies, positioning techniques and global navigation satellite systems for composition and interoperability of services in various domains such as industrial systems, transportation and manufacturing systems, etc. The session will provide a forum to investigate, exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge covering the broad area of management and organization through composition, interaction, interoperability and collaborations of different and distributed services. Experts and professionals from academia, industry, and the public sector are invited to submit papers on their recent research and professional experience on the subject. High quality papers reporting on relevant reviews of existing literature, theoretical studies, case studies, interdisciplinary research are all very welcome. The session topics appropriate for consideration include but are not limited to:
  •     Services Interoperability and Interaction
  •     Concepts, Methods, Models and Languages of Services Composition
  •     Service-Oriented Architecture
  •     Information Systems et Communication Technologies
  •     Positioning Techniques and Global Navigation Satellite System
  •     Location Systems for Mobile-computing Applications
  •     Service Operations and Management
  •     Context-aware Computing
  •     Service Modeling, Performance Evaluation and Optimization
  •     Formal Methods for Specification, Verification and Validation of Services Composition

  2- Complex Dynamic Systems: Modelling and Simulation of Smart Grid

Abstract:
     The aging, traditional grid with rapid failure rates will soon be replace by the new intelligent and smart grid. The new smart grid systems are empowered by two way communication to provide dynamic load management, pricing, and distributed load generation. The evolving smart grid can be modeled as a complex dynamic system. In order to facilitate large scale deployment of smart grid both simulation and theoretical tools must be developed to study the performance and optimize its utilization for different use-cases. The purpose of this session is to provide a platform to both industry and academia to collaborate and chalk out plan for modeling and simulation of large scale smart grid systems.

  Call for Papers

Abstract:
    Communication networks have become a key economic and social infrastructure in Africa and Middle-East economies. The network infrastructure supports all economic sectors, is crucial to the national and international exchange of goods and services, and acts as a main catalyst in changing economic interrelationships through rapid technological change and the proliferation of a range of new services. Next generation networks (NGNs) are now becoming a popular means of transport for all services and applications. Moreover, telecoms have started migrating from traditional networks to high performance, profitable and architecturally evolved networks. The migration towards Next Generation Networks changes the network topology which potentially involves several structural changes such as a reorganization of core network nodes and changes in the number of network hierarchy levels. In this new context, NGNs ensure the integration and the adaptability of heterogeneous networks such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), Femtocell Networks, Near Field Communication (NFC) that provide data close to people. It can be realized through new services that are made possible by these new technologies including VoIP, IPTV, Femtocell services, location-based services instant messaging etc. This session is an opportunity for researchers, academics and industries to share their insight and knowledge in all areas related to new generation networks and services. The session topics appropriate for consideration include but are not limited to:    
  • Web Based systems
  • Mobile, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing and communications;
  • Mobile Learning Technologies
  • QoS and performance evaluations
  • Web Technologies and Society
  • Adaptive and self-organizing networks
  • Network management for automotive networking
  • Novel energy-efficient control strategies for WSN
  • Services, resource management and mobility support in femtocell networks

  4- Diagnosis and Fault Tolerant Control of Industrial Systems

Abstract:
     The increasing degree of automation of processes needs a rigorous surveillance. This surveillance must be able to detect an abnormal evolution of the system, to localize it and to identify it in order to decide an action to undertake.
However, the diagnosis module is only the first link to a new synthesis of the control law to take into account defects. The second link is a reconfiguration mechanism able to synthesize a new control law with the module information FDI (Fault Diagnosis and Isolation); while ensuring the stability of the closed loop system. We are talking about fault-tolerant control (FTC Fault Tolerant Control).

The invited session is an opportunity to present contributions in the following topics:
Modeling and control of industrial systems
Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI)
Fault Tolerant Control (FTC)
Active supervision
Monitoring…

Presentations must submit an innovative aspect in theoretical researches accompanied with practical consideration. Submissions from students are strongly encouraged. Proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore. Extended versions of selected papers will be published in special issues of major journals (IJCIS, IJAISC, IJSCC, IJAEC, IJICT).
