     International  Symposium on "Trustworthy Global Computing"
               http://www.cs.unibo.it/~sangio/TGC05/
                     co-Located with ETAPS 2005
                 (http://www.etaps05.inf.ed.ac.uk/)

                With the co-sponsorship of IFIP TC-2

Computing technology has become ubiquitous, from global applications
to miniscule embedded devices. Trust in computing is vital to help
protect public safety, national security, and economic prosperity. A
new area of research, known as global computing, has recently
emerged that aims at defining new models of computation based on
code and data mobility over wide area networks with highly dynamic
topologies, and that aims at providing infrastructures to support
coordination and control of components originated from different,
possibly untrusted, sources. Trustworthy Global Computing aims at
guaranteeing safe and reliable network usage, also by providing
tools and framework for reasoning about behaviour and properties of
applications.  In the working conference we would like to listen and
discuss the above topics. We are looking for papers dealing with the
issues below (the list should nor be considered exhaustive):

--  resource usage,
--  language-based security, theories  of trust and authentication,
--  privacy, reliability and business integrity
--  access control and mechanisms for enforcing them,
--  models of interaction and dynamic components management,
--  language concepts and abstraction mechanisms,
--  test generators, symbolic interpreters, type checkers,
--  finite state model checkers, theorem provers.
--  software principles to support  debugging and verification
-- ....

           Important Notice About eValid Version Upgrade
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                     <http://www.e-valid.com>

We're writing to let all eValid users for whom there is an assigned
Customer ID (CID Number) know about the upcoming release of eValid
Version 5.

Availability of eValid Version 5 -- we call it "V5" for short -- is
planned for January 2005.

V5 is a major upgrade to the product technology.  The new release
includes many new features and capabilities such as:

  o New PageMap facility to allow in-depth analysis of pages and
    their properties. You can use the PageMap to see how pages are
    composed and you can use the PageMap information for additional
    scripting power and reliability.

  o New LoadTest licensing options that simplify provisioning for
    server loading activities.

  o New formats and structure for site analysis to make your runs
    quicker, easier to analyze, and easier to archive.

  o Improved detailed timing for individual page components.

  o Reorganized and updated online  documentation to reflect
    eValid's support for XP applications.

  o Enhanced support for monitoring operations, including new CSV-
    style output files and improved batch mode control.

  o Major changes to the powerful 3D-SiteMap applet that include
    manipulating the focus, depth, and content of the 3D page-
    dependency diagrams.

  o A new and improved JavaScript interface to allow scripting
    activity to interact with browsing activity.  These are combined
    with new features for extracting the current contents of a page
    direct from the internal DOM (Document Object Model).

  o Revised dashboard (eValid's floating control panel) to simplify
    record/play and site analysis operations.

  o ...and much more...

Let us know if you want to try out eValid V5 before the official
release date.  Use the question request form:

    http://www.soft.com/eValid/Information/question.request.html

            For Current Maintenance Subscription Holders
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are have a current eValid maintenance and support description
you will be able to get new license keys for eValid V5 on request
and at no charge.  If your maintenance subscription has lapsed then
an upgrade fee may be needed to get the advantages of eValid V5.

                       Version Compatibility
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
V5 will fully replace V4 when you install it, and V4 will replace V5
if you choose to go back to the prior version.

All V4 scripts will play without modification on V5, but some V5
scripts may not work reliably in V4.  Some of the feature licensing
and internal support structures have changed in V5.

                          Special Issue on
          Empirical Studies in Systems Analysis and Design

The Information Systems Journal (ISJ) is running a special issue on
Empirical Studies in Systems Analysis and Design. The special issue
is motivated by several factors. The systems analysis and design
landscape has seen a few major revolutions and evolutions in the
last few years. The movement towards agile modeling, extreme
modeling, enterprise modeling, and others has created a lot
excitement and anxiety in the field. The continued standardization
of Unified Modeling Language (with UML 2.0 accepted by OMG in 2003)
and the adoption of Unified Process (UP) have a potential
significant impact on the practice of systems analysis and design.
This special issue is dedicated to understanding and analyzing these
changes on the research and practice of systems analysis and design.

This special issue is interested in soliciting papers focusing on
empirical studies in systems analysis and design. We define
empirical studies broadly and we welcome both interpretive and
positivist approaches. Case studies, action research, grounded
theory approach, and other innovative research methodologies are
encouraged.  However, purely technical or mathematical papers will
not be suitable for this special issue.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Systems analysis and design practices in organizations;
* Studies on introducing new systems analysis and
  design approaches into organizations;
* Studies on effect of changes in systems analysis and design practices;
* Studies that describe application of analysis and design
  methods and methodologies; and
* Studies that compare and/or evaluate the various systems
  analysis and design methods and methodologies.

       1st International Workshop on Automated Specification
              and Verification of Web Sites (WWV-2005)

                 March 14-15 2005, Valencia, SPAIN

               http://www.dsic.upv.es/workshops/wwv05

The  increased  complexity  of Web sites and the explosive growth of
Web-based applications has turned their design and construction into
a  challenging problem. Nowadays, many companies have diverted their
Web   sites   into   interactive,   completely-automated,  Web-based
applications (such  as  Amazon, on-line banking, or travel agencies)
with  a  high complexity that requires appropriate specification and
verification  techniques and tools. Systematic, formal approaches to
the  analysis  and  verification  can  address  the problems of this
particular  domain  with  automated  and  reliable  tools  that also
incorporate semantic aspects.

We solicit paper on formal methods and techniques applied to Web
sites, Web services or Web-based applications, such as:

  * rule-based approaches to Web site analysis, certification,
       specification, verification, and optimization
  * formal models for describing and reasoning about Web sites
  * model-checking, synthesis and debugging of Web sites
  * abstract interpretation and program transformation applied
       to the semantic Web

WWV'05 provides a forum for researchers from the communities of
Rule-based   programming,  Automated  Software  Engineering, and
Web-oriented  research to facilitate the cross-fertilization and the
advancement of hybrid methods that combine the three areas.

Participants are encouraged to present work in progress, overviews
of more extensive work, position papers and reports of practical
experiences.

WWV'05 is supported by the EU Commission under ICT for EU-India
Cross-Cultural Dissemination project ALA/95/23/2003/077-054.

    would be a hassle and takes planning.

13. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out
    of the back seat of your car.

17. Your idea of being organized is multiple colored Post-it notes.

18. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.

19. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.

20. You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as
