Preface
It is our pleasure to present you the proceedings of ICTERI 2013, the ninth edition of
the International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies in
Education, Research, and Industrial Applications: Integration, Harmonization, and
Knowledge Transfer, held at Kherson, Ukraine on June 19-22, 2013. ICTERI is con-
cerned with interrelated topics from information and communication technology
(ICT) infrastructures to teaching these technologies or using those in education or
industry. Those aspects of ICT research, development, technology transfer, and use in
real world cases are vibrant for both the academic and industrial communities.
The conference scope was outlined as a constellation of the following themes:
ICT infrastructures, integration and interoperability
Machine Intelligence, knowledge engineering, and knowledge management
for ICT
Cooperation between academia and industry in ICT
Model-based software system development
Methodological and didactical aspects of teaching ICT and using ICT in education
A visit to Google Analytics proves the broad and continuously increasing interest
in the ICTERI themes. Indeed, between November 15, 2012 and May 15, 2013 we
have received circa 4 400 visits to the conference web site, http://icteri.org/, from 110
countries (568 cities). These numbers are 1.5 – 2 times higher than those observed in
the similar period for ICTERI 2012.
ICTERI 2013 continues the tradition of hosting co-located focused events under its
umbrella. In the complement to the main conference this year, the program offered the
three co-located workshops, two tutorials, and IT talks panel. The main conference
program has been composed of the top-rated submissions evenly covering all the
themes of ICTERI scope.
The workshops formed the corolla around the main ICTERI conference by focus-
ing on particular sub-fields relevant to the conference theme. In particular:
The 1st International Workshop on Methods and Resources of Distance Learning
(MRDL 2013) dealt mainly with the methodological and didactical aspects of
teaching ICT and using ICT in education
The scope of the 2nd International Workshop on Information Technologies in Eco-
nomic Research (ITER 2013) was more within the topic of cooperation between
academia and industry
II
2nd International Workshop on Algebraic, Logical, and Algorithmic Methods of
System Modeling, Specification and Verification (SMSV 2013) focused on model-
based software system development
The IT Talks panel was the venue for the invited industrial speakers who wish to
present their cutting edge ICT achievements.
This year we were also accepted the two focused short tutorials to the program: on
ontology alignment and the industrial applications of this technology; and on the time
model and Clock Constraint Specification Language for the UML profile used in
modeling and analysis of real-time and embedded systems.
Overall ICTERI attracted a substantial number of submissions – a total of 124
comprising the main conference and workshops. Out of the 60 paper submissions to
the main conference we have accepted 22 high quality and most interesting papers to
be presented at the conference and published in our proceedings. The acceptance rate
was therefore 36.7 percent. Our three workshops received overall 64 submissions,
from which 27 were accepted by their organizers and included in the second part of
this volume. Those selected publications are preceded by the contributions of our
invited speakers. The talk by our keynote speaker Wolf-Ekkehard Matzke expressed
his industrial views on the knowledge-based bio-economy and the “Green Triple-
Helix” of biotechnology, synthetic biology, and ICT. The invited talk by Gary L. Pratt
was focused on a movement of higher education institutions to forming consortiums
for creating a position of strength facing contemporary economic challenges. The
invited talk by Alexander A. Letichevsky presented a general theory of interaction
and cognitive architectures based on this theory.
The conference would not have been possible without the support of many people.
First of all we would like to thank all the authors who submitted papers to ICTERI
2013 and thus demonstrated their interest in the research problems within our scope.
We are also very grateful to the members of our Program Committee for providing
timely and thorough reviews and also for been cooperative in doing additional review
work. We would like also to thank the local organizers of the conference whose devo-
tion and efficiency made this instance of ICTERI a very comfortable and effective
scientific forum. Finally a special acknowledgement is given to the support by our
editorial assistant Olga Tatarintseva who invested a considerable effort in checking
and proofing the final versions of our papers.
