abstract: HICSS-42 offers a unique, highly interactive and professionally challenging environment that attendees find "very helpful -- lots of different perspectives and ideas as a result of discussion." HICSS sessions are comprised primarily of refereed paper presentations; the conference does not host vendor presentations.

The conference operation is funded entirely by registration fees; therefore, HICSS is not able to subsidize registrations or offer reduced fees, nor partial registration. All participants and speakers (or their organizations) are expected to bear the cost of their expenses and registration.

abstract: The purpose of the International Conference on Health Informatics is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to healthcare and medicine in general and to the specialized support to persons with special needs in particular. Databases, networking, graphical interfaces, intelligent decision support systems and specialized programming languages are just a few of the technologies currently used in medical informatics. Mobility and ubiquity in healthcare systems, standardization of technologies and procedures, certification, privacy are some of the issues that medical informatics professionals and the ICT industry in general need to address in order to further promote ICT in healthcare.

abstract: The 2009 NC GIS Conference will be at the Raleigh Convention Center in downtown Raleigh, NC on Thursday, February 19 and Friday, February 20. The theme, Capitalizing on Spatial Data, is a perfect fit for bringing the practitioners and users of GIS data together at this Eleventh biennial conference. Sponsored by the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NC CGIA) and the Carolina Chapter of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (Carolina URISA) this conference listened to your feedback and will build on past successes.

Local government participants represent departments as diverse as tax administration and land records, E-911, emergency management, environmental health, fire, parks and recreation, planning, police, transportation, utilities, and many others.

abstract: This 3-day short course provides a detailed introduction to the use of LightTools for engineers and scientists who wish to model and analyze the interaction of light with opto-mechanical systems. It will assume some familiarity with optical concepts and terminology. You will learn to use all of the major features of the LightTools Core and Illumination modules through lectures, demonstrations, and the solution of exercises in hands-on computer workshop sessions.

abstract: SIMUTools 2009 is the Second International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques. This edition, which builds on the success of the first conference (168 participants from 31 countries), will focus on all aspects of simulation modeling and analysis. High quality papers are sought on simulation tools, methodologies, applications, and practices.

The aim of the conference is to bring academic and industry researchers together with practitioners (from both the simulation community and from the numerous simulation user communities). The conference will address current and future trends in simulation techniques, models and practices, and foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. While the main focus of the conference is on simulation tools, the conference also encourages the submission of broader theoretical and practical research contributions.

abstract: This 2-day course provides a practical overview of the LightTools Optimzation Module, COM Macro Programming, and Photorealistic Rendering capabilities. The course includes lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on computer workshop sessions.

abstract: The goal of this workshop is to bring together OMNeT++ users and their tools, applications and ideas. It intends to provide a forum for presentations of recent developments and novel ideas in the broad context of network simulation with focus on OMNeT++. It will bring together researchers to focus on the important topics of integrating simulation models, coupling different simulation tools, providing better modeling approaches, and contributing to the active modeling and simulation community with respect to identifying some of the most promising candidate solution methods, architectures and techniques to address the various challenges of network simulation. The benefits are two-fold: On the one hand OMNeT++ users get into direct discussion and on the other hand they can meet with developers. Furthermore, the developers can pick up ideas for the future development.

abstract: This course covers the basics on modeling, analyzing, optimizing, and tolerancing optical systems using CODE V, including hands-on workshops. It assumes familiarity with optical concepts and terminology.

abstract: Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 13th International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD 2009) provides a forum for researchers and practitioners involved in different but related domains to confront research results and discuss key problems. The major topics include, but not limited to:
- Techniques, methods, and tools for CSCW in design
- Knowledge intensive cooperative design
- User modeling for cooperative design
- Intelligent agents and multi-agent systems for cooperative design
- Workflows for cooperative design
- VR technologies for cooperative design
- Grids, Web Services and Semantic Web for CSCW in Design

abstract: Oracle, the IOUG North American Oracle Spatial Special Interest Group, and GITA are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract to present at the fourth annual international Oracle Spatial User Conference. The event will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2009, in Tampa, Florida, in conjunction with GITA's 2009 Geospatial Infrastructure Solutions Conference. It will feature the most innovative uses of Oracle's spatial technologies in areas from utilities and telco to retail, finance, and insurance. The Oracle product team will provide updates on product directions and strategy, and technical deep-dives.

abstract: This short course will give current users of CODE V an opportunity to learn about and practice using a number of advanced topics and specialized techniques. You will learn how to solve current problems more effectively and also discover new applications for CODE V in your work.

abstract: The theme for this conference is Spatial Data Infrastructure Convergence: Building SDI Bridges to Address Global Challenges.

Geographic information technologies and spatial data infrastructure play critical roles in allowing governments, local communities, non-government organizations, the commercial sector, the academic community and common people to make progress in addressing many of the worlds most pressing problems. The approaches in building spatial data infrastructure within and among nations are in many respects converging. This conference will explore the convergence towards best standards, practices and processes among nations while at the same time explore ever evolving and exciting new approaches to the offering of geographic data and services in meeting real world needs.
