IEEE TKDE special issue on Customer Relationship Management
by Fridolin Wild 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

### to whom it may concern. //fw. *** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS Deadline approaching: 10.02.2006 ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering A Special Issue on Customer Relationship Management: Data Mining Meets Marketing Planned for: Early 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------- Customer Relationship Management emerged in the last decade to reflect the central role of customers for the strategic positioning of a company. CRM encompasses all measures to achieve customer understanding and to exploit this knowledge in marketing and production. Accordingly, it requires integration of customer-related data, meta-data and background knowledge, to provide a coordinated analysis of this integrated data. Central to CRM are the correct and complete understanding of the customers and derivation of concerted actions from this understanding. Traditionally, Knowledge and Data Engineering is observed as a key enabler for CRM, delivering knowledge discovery methods for customer profiling, classification, segmentation and response prediction scalable technologies for processing of large customer bases and of streams of customer transaction data methodologies for the integration of heterogeneous collections of data at different levels of abstraction and with varying degrees of internal structure tools and standards for the specification of meta-information and methods for the incorporation of meta-data into the knowledge discovery process frameworks for the formulation of recommendations and the design of personalized services, especially in e-commerce applications. However, many of these contributions focus on isolated CRM problems, the emphasis being more on the discovery of correct patterns than on obtaining deep insights into customer behaviour. Some of the challenges that are still open today include the integrated analysis of customer data and texts (e.g., product descriptions and customer feedback), incorporation of extracted knowledge into the production and marketing cycle, incorporation of various types of background knowledge into the analysis, and systematic re-evaluation of extracted knowledge against drifting customer preferences and profiles. In this special issue, we solicit submissions describing innovative Knowledge and Data Engineering methods for CRM challenges, with a particular focus on the areas of knowledge discovery and data/text mining, of data warehousing and advanced database technologies. We particularly encourage contributions that take a holistic and integrated view of the customers, their static data, their implicit and explicit preferences, and their behaviour across various interaction channels. To reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the CRM field, we encourage all authors to place their contributions into a broader, customer-centered framework and explain how their work helps to solve complex and integrated CRM problems and how it considers demands from and provides insights to other disciplines, such as marketing. Topics of Interest to the Special Issue --------------------------------------- * Customer segmentation methods * Building customer models and profiles * Management of customer bases * Mining structured, semi-structured and unstructured data * Mining e-commerce clickstream/usage data * Collecting, extracting, analyzing consumer opinion data * Personalization and recommender systems * Discovering trends in customer data and customer intelligence * Visualization of customer data * Building customer-centered data warehouses * Data streams and CRM * Event monitoring and triggering * Methods for building learning relationships with customers * Models and metrics for valuing customers over their life time * Managing customer interaction cycle (including Web based) * Methods for contact management and lead capture * Data and stream analysis for self-service applications * Methods for design and evaluation of flexible pricing models Submission Guidelines --------------------- Submission Guidelines --------------------- Please follow the formatting guideline at: http://www.computer.org/tkde/author_new.htm and submit your papers to Manuscript Central at http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/ You must select "Special Issue CRM" from the drop-down menu for the manuscript type!

These developments open up a huge amount of innovative interaction scenarios, involving new forms of user interfaces. One kind that enables intuitive and natural interaction is tangible user interfaces, referring to interfaces in which persons interact with digital information through the physical environment. Tangible user interfaces are not limited to the interactions of a single person, but can be used to support interaction within - even dislocated - groups and smart artefacts. Motivated by these developments, we see this workshop as an opportunity for exploring the potentials and perspectives of tangible interaction for supporting collaborative work. Because of its interdisciplinary topic, TICE 2006 aims at bringing together researchers of various fields, including Human Computer Interaction, Tangible User Interfaces, Computer Supported Collaborative Work, Sociology, Communication Technologies, Embedded Systems and Ubiquitous Computing, to discuss key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications, and trends of tangible interaction in collaborative environments.

(HUST) Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying) Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006 ****************************************************** Following ubiquitous computers, networks, information, services, etc., is a road towards a smart world (SW) created on both real and cyber spaces. A SW is mainly characterized by ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or computational intelligence pervasive in the physical world, filled with ubiquitous intelligent or smart things, that are capable of computing, communicating, and behaving smartly with some intelligence. One of the profound implications of such ubiquitous smart things is that various kinds and levels of intelligence will exist ubiquitously in everyday objects, environments, systems and even ourselves, and possibly be extended from man-made to natural things. "Ubicomp" or "percomp" can be regarded as the computing of all these intelligent/smart things/u-things, that are essential elements and components of the SW. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the ubiquitous world with universal services of any means/place/time to the SW of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-06 is a successor of the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds (UISW2005, Japan, Dec. 2005) which succeeds the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005,Taipei, Mar. 2005). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and SWs. Topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects * Electronic Label, Card, E-Tag and RFID * Embedded Chips, Sensor & Actuator * MEMS, NEMS, Mote & Biometric Device * Everyday Good, Artifact, Robot, etc. * Smart Appliance and Wearable Device * Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Emerging Intelligent/Smart Objects * Embedded Software and Agents 2.

First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
by Fridolin Wild 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Call for Workshops __________________________________________________ First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning - Innovative Approaches for Learning and Knowledge Sharing - Crete, Greece October 1-2 2006 Workshops October 2-4, 2006 Conference URL: http://www.ec-tel06.org/workshops.html Organized by the PRO-LC Cluster (http://www.professional-learning-cluster.org/) __________________________________________________ With the shift towards the knowledge society, changing working conditions and the continuous evolution of information and communication technologies, peoples' knowledge and skills need continuous development. Technology enhanced learning is one of the strategic objectives of the EU/IST Work Programme, with the goal of "improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of learning, for individuals and organizations, independent of time, place and pace." Innovative infrastructuctures, methods and approaches are needed to reach this goal, and will facilitate transfer and sharing of knowledge between individuals and in organizations. The First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning provides a unique forum for all research related to technology-enhanced learning, as well as its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and work environments. It will provide a competitive yet broad enough forum for technology enhanced learning research in Europe and world-wide through specialized workshops and the main conference. The conference will provide unique networking possibilities for participating researchers. The EC-TEL Workshops are intended to bring together pre-conference communities to work together on a common topic for technology enhanced learning. The context of this work should be the conference theme of “Innovative Approaches for Learning and Knowledge Sharing”. Unlike some conferences, it is intended that EC-TEL workshops should be highly interactive and fully engage participants. To that end it is important that workshop submissions clearly indicate how invited speakers / facilitators will attract contributions from our community to their workshop session, and how they will help workshop attendees to contribute. EC-TEL aims to support a limited number of workshops, so the level of quality of submissions is expected to be high. The workshops will run in the two days preceding the main conference. ** Submission ** Papers describing the workshop proposal should not exceed 6 pages (single spaced, 12 point Times New Roman style font). Workshop proposals should include a short statement describing the background and of each of the organizers, clearly illustrating their expertise in this topic. Workshop proposers should outline the names and topics of expected contributors/facilitators, and indicate why EC-TEL conference attendees would participate in the workshop. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Workshop participants will need to register for the EC-TEL conference. Enquiries and submissions should be emailed to the EC-TEL workshop chair: Peter.Scott(a)open.ac.uk ** Important dates ** Workshop Proposal Submission Deadline: March 30, 2006 Notification of Workshop Acceptance: May 1, 2006 Camera Ready Proceedings of Workshops: September 1, 2006 Workshops: October 1 - 2, 2006 Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: - Collaborative Learning - Personalized Learning - Multimedia Content and Learning - Semantic Web, Metadata and Learning - Workplace Learning - Knowledge Management and Learning - Learning Repositories and Infrastructures - Experience Reports, Assessment, and Case Studies ** Program Committee ** Chairs: Wolfgang Nejdl, Germany Klaus Tochtermann, Austria Publicity Chair: Erik Duval, Belgium Workshop Chair: Peter Scott, UK Industry Chair: Volker Zimmermann, Germany Doctoral Consortium Chairs: Katherine Maillet, France Ralf Klamma, Germany Program Committee Members: Heidrun Allert, Austria Kalina Bontcheva, UK Paul de Bra, The Netherlands Paul Brna, UK Peter Brusilovsky, USA Fabrizio Cardinali, Italy Stefano Ceri, Italy Pierre Dillenbourg, Switzerland Peter Dolog, Germany Erik Duval, Belgium Dieter Euler, Switzerland Monique Grandbastien, France Jˆrg M.
