These social network systems are usually characterized by the complex network structures and rich accompanying contextual information. Recent trends also indicate the usage of complex network as a key feature for next generation usage and exploitation of the Web. This international conference on "Computational Aspect of Networks" is focused on the foundations of social networks as well as case studies, empirical, and other methodological works related to the computational tools for the automatic discovery of Web-based social networks. This conference provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the ethological approach to social behavior in animals (including the study of animal tracks and learning by members of the same species) with web-based evidence of social interaction, perceptual learning, information granulation, the behavior of humans and affinities between web-based social networks. The main topics cover the design and use of various computational intelligence tools and software, simulations of social networks, representation and analysis of social networks, use of semantic networks in the design and community-based research issues such as knowledge discovery, privacy and protection, and visualization. We solicit original research and technical papers not published elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application oriented on the following themes (but not limited to): Network evolution Network evolution and growth mechanisms. Online communities and computer networks. Information diffusion in social networks. Detection of communities by document analysis. Topology of real networks. Recommendation Information diffusion in social networks. Recommendations for product purchase, information acquisition and establishment of social relations Impact of recommendation models on the evolution of the social network. Classification models and their application in social recommender systems. Advertisement models Economical impact of social network discovery Social advertising. Use of social networks for marketing. Search in network Web page ranking informed by social media. Search algorithms on social networks. Collaborative Filtering. Security Anomaly detection in social network evolution. Data protection inside communities. Crime data mining and network analysis. Modeling trust and reputation in social networks Misbehavior detection in communities Network geography Geographical clusters, networks, and innovation. Social geography. International Collaborations in e-Social network Web Automatic discovery and analysis of Web based social networks Link Topology and Site Hierarchy. Web mining algorithms. Web communities Web-Based Cooperative Work Paper submission Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF files and should be uploaded using the conference website (will be ready soon). Full paper submissions should be in ACM format with a limit of 8 pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 independent reviewers of the PC. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference proceedings will be indexed by ACM Digital Libraries and published with an ISBN. Important Dates Conference paper submission: March 30, 2009 Notification of paper acceptance: April 27, 2009 Camera-ready of accepted papers: May 18, 2009 Registration: May 18, 2009 Conference: June 24-27, 2009 For more general information, please contact Ajith Abraham -> abraham.ajith(a)gmail.com or Kasia Wegrzyn-Wolska <katarzyna.wegrzyn(a)esigetel.fr>, for program/local information --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Since 2002 when the “Mobile Internet” became widely accessible in Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong, predictions of rapid adoption have been made for other key markets as well. Services, content and supporting business models have developed along with advanced networks and devices that can improve the user experience. However,five years later, the rates and expectations for adoption of mobile dataservices by consumers remains a question with some seeing signs of rapidgrowth, others maintaining expectations for specialized markets, and others remaining skeptical about the overall mass market potential for theseservices. In this issue we seek submissions that describe general use patterns and the overall market for mobile data services in key markets with aview to describing the current situation as well as factors that may influence further development of mobile data service markets. We seek timely submissions that examine key national markets in depth, aswell as cross cultural comparisons of use patterns, demographic breakdowns, trends and forecasts based on data. Submissions that analyze and present data in the following areas will be given particular notice: * Measurement and analysis of cross-cultural differences in mobile service usage – To what extent are cultural factors relevant? Are there truly significant differences in user behavior and preferences across different markets? Does the value proposition in emerging economies differ from that in the industrialized markets? * Demonstration of business implications for new services development –What sectors, demographic groups, etc. appear most interested in mobile data services? e.g. will the younger generation pave the way for more innovative use of mobile services? Are there transferable lessons, general diffusion dynamics that can be applied to markets for mobile data services and applications? * Examination of factors supporting adoption: social, cultural, technological, economic – Are existing models and frameworks for technology diffusion useful/relevant? * In depth country studies, comparative studies of mobile data service use in 2 or more markets. Important Dates: Deadline for Submission: January 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2009 Publication Schedule: September 2009 Submission Instructions: Papers must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A standard double-blind review process will be used to select papers for this special issue. Manuscripts should follow the instructions as outlined in the Author Portal found on the IJEB Website (see URL below). Electronic submission in PDF format is required. Accepted papers must follow the guidelines postedat http://www.icebnet.org/author/ to format the final papers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP of the 1st International Workshop on Data and Process Provenance Datum: Sun, 28 Dec 2008 13:22:53 +1100 Von: <Q.Liu(a)csiro.au> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ================================================ The 1st International Workshop on Data and Process Provenance (WDPP09) In conjunction with DASFAA 2009 April 20, 2009 Brisbane, Australia http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~dasfaa/workshop/wdpp/WDPP09.htm ================================================= WDPP09 Provenance is about describing the creation, modification history, ownership and generally any other aspect that may significantly influence the lifetime of data and data-sets. In many scientific environments, data-driven analyses are now performed on large volumes of data and multiple sources yielding sophisticated methods. The manual maintenance of pertinent provenance information such as what methods, what parameters, who and when created and/or modified, is not only time consuming but also error-prone. The systematic and timely capture of the above information may accurately keep track of the various stages that data go through and help precisely articulate the processes used. The provenance of data and processes is expected to help validate and re-produce experiments as well as to greatly assist in the interpretation of data-analyses outcomes. These are all crucial for knowledge discovery. While provenance plays an important role in the scientific study at large and a number of systems have already furnished limited related functionalities, provenance has only recently attracted the attention of computer scientists. Provenance poses many fundamental challenges, such as performance, scalability, and interoperability in various environments. The examination of data and process provenance is a multi-disciplinarily activity. Among others, it involves data management, software engineering, workflow system, information retrieval, web service, and security research. At the same time, it also requires understanding of problems from specific scientific domains to better address corresponding requirements. The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from multiple disciplines who have confronted and dealt with provenance-related issues and exchange ideas and/or experiences. The workshop is also expected to help shape a provenance research agenda in the years ahead. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ================================================== * Data lineage * Architecture and prototype * Provenance modelling * Information management for provenance data * Provenance querying * Provenance annotation * Security and privacy for provenance information * Provenance analytics, mining and visualization * Provenance algorithms * Reasoning over provenance * Provenance ontology * Trust * Interoperability * Provenance and semantic web technology * Integration of provenances * User interface * Provenance application and case study * Provenance in practice Important Dates =============== * Full papers due: January 20, 2009 * Notification to authors: February 28, 2009 * Camera-ready due: March 15, 2009 * Workshop: April 20, 2009 Organization ============ Program Committee Co-Chairs --------------------------- Walid G.

[Fwd: [computational.science] Call for Papers: 4th Workshop on Semantic Wikis (SemWiki2009)]
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Dec '08

28 Dec '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers: 4th Workshop on Semantic Wikis (SemWiki2009) Datum: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 12:59:49 +0100 Von: Sebastian Schaffert <sebastian.schaffert(a)salzburgresearch.at> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ***Call for Papers*** Fourth Workshop on Semantic Wikis The Semantic Wiki Web [SemWiki2009] co-located with ESWC 2009, Heraklion, Crete 1st June 2009 http://www.semwiki.org/ Supported by the EU Project KiWi - Knowledge in a Wiki (http://www.kiwi-project.eu) Goals and Motivation ==================== Wikis are a major success of Web 2.0. They are used for a large number of purposes, such as encyclopedias, project documentation, and coordination, both in open communities and in enterprises. Wikis have demonstrated how it is possible to transform a community of strangers into a community of collaborators. By integrating Semantic Web technologies, semantic wikis one the one hand allow this new community of contributors to produce formalized knowledge readable by machines and on the other hand support the users in ways ordinary wikis are not capable of, e.g. by personalisation, integration with other services, and reasoning. Authoring and usage of informal and formal data take place in the same system, leading to instant gratification. Some systems simply tag existing wiki content, others are full-fledged ontology editors, but the majority covers the large scale between informal and fully formalized content, guiding users from informal knowledge contained in texts to more formal structures. Semantic wikis are a very promising way to establish a partnership between human and automated collaborators, creating communities for collaborative knowledge building and sharing. Some important steps have already been achieved with systems that are already adopted outside of the original Semantic Web community. Semantic wikis are thus even now a major success story of the Semantic Web and a reference that combines the advantage of Web 2.0 and the Web of data and have the potential to significantly contribute to the adoption of semantic technologies throughout the Web. The goal of this workshop is to study how interactions within a semantic wiki between humans and between humans and machines can help both parties to collaboratively produce and share knowledge that is usable for human and computers. As semantic wikis contain many of the core Semantic Web challenges in an integrated fashion, we are also concerned about contributing results obtained in semantic wiki "petri dishes" to the overall Semantic Web effort. Workshop Audience and Topics ============================ We want to bring together researchers and practitioners active in the development and application of traditional and semantic wiki systems, as well as researchers interested in knowledge acquisition in general and in computer supported cooperative work. This includes researchers working on semantic portals, personal and enterprise knowledge management systems and ontology authoring. We address researchers working on (but not limited to): * Applications of semantic wikis in - e-science and e-learning - software and knowledge engineering - enterprise workflows and knowledge management - personal knowledge management - ... and other fields * Integration and reuse of semantic wikis or (semantic) wiki content: - integrations with other semantic applications; mashups - wikis and Linked Open Data; scaling wikis to the web - giving semantics to non-semantic wikis (e.g. Wikipedia) - reusing semantics gained from wikis (e.g. DBpedia) * Human and social factors of semantic wikis - usability studies, empirical studies, analyses of semantic wiki contributors and their contributions - overcoming entrance barriers, giving incentives for contributing - connecting knowledge and social interaction - community building * Knowledge representation and reasoning in semantic wikis - combining formal and informal knowledge, transforming informal to formal knowledge, making formal knowledge accessible - coping with inconsistencies - change management, truth maintenance, versioning, and undoing semantic changes - utilizing emerging knowledge models - semantic wikis for rapid prototyping of schema-driven applications - collaborative ontology engineering with wikis * Technologies for semantic wikis - privacy: permissions, trust, licensing, access control - browsing, navigating, visualizing semantically enhanced linked data - distributed semantic wikis: offline/distributed/real-time/multi- synchronous editing - innovative plugins and extensions for existing systems (e.g. Semantic MediaWiki) Organisation Committee ====================== * Christoph Lange, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany ch.lange(a)jacobs-university.de * Sebastian Schaffert, Salzburg Research, Austria sebastian.schaffert(a)salzburgresearch.at * Hala Skaf-Molli, INRIA-Nancy University, France skaf(a)loria.fr * Max Völkel, University of Karlsruhe, Germany voelkel(a)fzi.de Programme Committee =================== * David Aumüller, Universität Leipzig (DE) * Sören Auer, Universität Leipzig (DE) * Joachim Baumeister, Universität Würzburg (DE) * Björn Decker, IESE (DE) * Sebastian Dietzold, Universität Leipzig (DE) * Ludger van Elst, DFKI (DE) - pending * Michael Erdmann, Ontoprise (DE) * Herman Geuvers, Radboud Univ.

27 Dec '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP 2009 Design Science Research (DESRIST) Conference Datum: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 00:31:49 -0500 Von: Karthikeyan Umapathy <k.umapathy(a)unf.edu> Antwort an: Karthikeyan Umapathy <k.umapathy(a)unf.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 4th Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technologies (DESRIST) 2009 conference * In-Cooperation with ACM, SIGCHI, SIGMIS, SIGCAS, and SIGDA. http://desrist2009.ist.psu.edu Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA Date: May 7-8, 2009 Theme: Diversity in Design Science Design Science research is becoming firmly established as a research paradigm in several disciplines related to information sciences, information systems and technologies. The Design Science research community believes that Design Science involves creating, constructing, studying and evaluating innovative artifacts such as constructs, frameworks, models, methods, and systems; as well as the study of methods, behaviors, and processes related to design. Design, by definition, is aimed at creating things that did not exist in the world. Design Science, then, aims at furthering our understanding of how this comes about. Modes to achieve this include actually designing things, constructing abstractions that can help in this designing, and studying design activities at individual, group, organizational, industrial and societal levels of analyses. This notion of Design and Design Science presents innumerable challenges for information technologies because of the inherently interdependent nature of information technologies and the phenomena they are expected to represent, supplement, support, automate and transform. Call for Contributions ------------------------------- The Fourth DESRIST Conference, in-cooperation with ACM, is a meeting place that will bring together researchers and practitioners engaged in Design Science research in the broadest sense. Questions and concerns in Design Science, therefore, relate to choosing domains in which individuals and teams would intervene, the context in which these interventions would take place, and the consequences of these interventions. We invite contributions (manuscripts, demos and panels) that describe your work in the area of Design Science research. These include but are not limited to: * Science of Design and Design Theory * Philosophical foundations of Design Science * Evaluation of Design Science Research * Infrastructure Design * Design Processes * Representation for Design * Design Evolution * Organizational Design * Design for Innovation * Design Economics * Modularity and Rules in Design * Architectures for Design * Meta-Design Control in Design * Design of Software-Intensive Systems The domains may include (but not limited to): Software, Services, Database, Business Processes, Information Systems, User Interfaces, Knowledge Discovery and Management, Data Mining, Medical, Health and Bio-Informatics, Social and Virtual Collaboration, Networking and Multimedia Systems, Grid and Peer-to-Peer Computing, and Pervasive Computing. Important Dates ---------------------- Submission: January 22, 2009 Acceptance: March 10, 2009 Camera Ready Submission: April 10, 2009 Early Registration Closes: April 10, 2009 Conference Dates: May 7-8, 2009 Doctorial Consortium: May 6, 2009 Select Papers will be invited to The Journal of AIS Awards ------------ # Herbert A Simon Award for the best Design Research paper of the conference # Vinton G.
