APSIS 2015 – 2nd International Workshop on Advanced Probability and Statistics in Information Systems
CANCELLED
Aims and Scope
Modern Information Systems are associated with huge amounts of data and although research in computer science has produced highly advanced methodologies for analyzing them, new complex research challenges appear. Probability Theory and Statistics, on the other hand, are considered well-defined and mature disciplines that have evolved through several centuries now and became sound on the foundations of Mathematics. Probability theory and Statistics have offered innumerable theories, techniques and tools to all aspects of data analysis in the wide discipline of Information Systems. The aim of APSIS is to bring together scientists from different branches of Information Systems who use or develop advanced probabilistic or statistical methods in their research. We encourage contributions addressing novel and complex problems with the use of probabilistic or statistical methods.
Topics of Interest
More specifically, we are seeking high-quality contributions related to Probability & Statistics in:
- Big Data Management and Analytics
- Software Engineering
- Information Systems Project Simulation
- Information Systems Development and Management • Risk Management
- Software Testing
- System Reliability
- Requirements Engineering
- Information Systems Security
- Information Search and Retrieval
- Information Theory applied in IS and SE
- Databases and Data Mining
- Data Streams
- Social Networks and the Web
- Intelligent Systems
- Open Source Software Empirical Analysis
- Process Mining
- Human Factor in Information Systems
- Industrial Applications
Submission Guidelines
Papers submitted to APSIS 2015 must be formatted according to Springer’s LNBIP style. Papers must be in PDF format with a maximum of 12 pages including text, figures, tables and references. Based on the number and quality of submitted papers, a few papers may be selected as short papers, and authors will be invited to create a 6-page version of their work. Please visit the APSIS website for more details.
Important Dates
- Paper Submission: February 20, 2015
- Author Notification: March 13, 2015
- Camera-Ready Submission: March 20, 2015
Keynote Speaker
We are pleased to announce that Leif Jonsson will be the Keynote Speaker in APSIS 2015. Leif Jonsson has a Master of Science in Computer Science from Uppsala University. Since 1998 he has been employed at Ericsson AB, starting off working with XML, voice interfaces and home automation systems at Ericsson Research. As part of that research he worked with various embedded standards for Java, networking over Bluetooth and co-authored three patents. Since 2003 Leif has been working with R&D, first, on the Ericsson content deliver solution (ECDS), a multimedia streaming service implemented in C++ and Java and later on the Ericsson MMS solution. From 2008 and onwards Leif has been working on the Ericsson 3G solution as a developer and test coordinator. In 2010 Leif took on an Industrial PhD position, a cooperation between Ericsson and Linko ̈ping University where he is focusing on Automatic Fault Localization using Machine Learning techniques. In his talk, Leif will give examples of how he is using Bayesian statistics and modeling to make software development in large ICT projects more efficient. He will also challenge the research community to come up with scalable statistical and probabilistic approaches that can be applied to large and real-world information systems development projects.
Special Issue
Authors of the best papers from APSIS will be invited to extend their work and submit in a special issue of a journal related to the topics of the workshop or a post-proceedings volume.
