*apologies for cross-posting*
Due to many requests we decided to extend the submission deadline to July
1st 2008.
Interactive Learning Environments
Special Issue on "Semantic Technologies for Multimedia-enhanced
Learning Environments"
Call for papers
The availability of metadata based on the Semantic Web technologies is
recognized as a key asset that enables aggregation, provisioning,
retrieval, reusability, adaptation, and personalization of
(educational) multimedia content. In learning environments, Semantic
Web technologies can integrate data about learning objects, learning
activities and learners captured from various e-learning systems and
tools. This inevitably brings multimedia-enhanced learning
environments to increased levels of interaction and collaboration.
Today, we are living in the era of the proliferating use of Web 2.0
approaches (e.g. collaborative tagging, social networking, mash-ups,
blogs, and Wikis) that are usually based on lightweight semantics and
represented in the form of 'folksonomies'. Despite the initial
perception that Web 2.0 opposes to the Semantic Web, these two efforts
are being jointly used to create a common space of semantic
technologies. This special issue solicits papers focused on the use of
semantic technologies in multimedia-enhanced learning environments.
Submissions are invited on topics that include, but are not limited
to, the following:
* Ontologies and semantic annotations for multimedia learning objects
* Collaborative tagging and folksonomies for multimedia learning
objects
* Semantic social networking in multimedia-based learning
environments
* Semantic technologies for enabling pedagogical theories in
multimedia-enhanced learning environments
* Semantic-enhanced learning designs in multimedia-enhanced learning
* Semantic technologies for personalization and adaptation of
multimedia-enhanced learning
* Semantic-rich service-oriented architectures for multimedia
learning environments
* Semantic multimedia content for (collaborative) mobile learning

CALL FOR PAPERS
1st International Conference on
Reputation
(ICORE 2009)
Gargonza, Italy, March 18-20, 2009
www.reputation09.net <http://www.reputation09.net>
The first International Conference on *Reputation*: _Theory and
Technology_ aims to become a point of convergence in the
multidisciplinary study of reputation.
The role of reputation as a social artefact and its practical
applications are coming more and more clearly to the attention of the
scientific community. The study of reputation and gossip is important in
many fields of the social sciences, for example organization science,
policy-making, (e-)governance, cultural evolution, social dilemmas,
socio-dynamics and sociobiology. Interest in reputation is increasing in
philosophy, psychology, social psychology, sociology and cognitive
science; formal models appear in game theoretical, mathematical and
physics journals; computational reputation systems are among the most
studied subjects in multi-agent technology and social simulations.
All this attention is timely, since reputation is an old concept for
answering a new challenge, the regulation of complex, global, networked
societies. Innovation demands that the potential of old instruments are
fully understood and exploited, in order to be incorporated into novel,
intelligent technologies.
However, there is a number of ad hoc models, and little integration of
instruments for the implementation, management and optimisation of
reputation. On the one hand, entrepreneurs and policy makers deem it
possible to manage corporate and firm reputation without accessing a
solid, general and integrated body of scientific knowledge on the
subject. On the other hand, researchers believe they can discuss, design
and implement reputation systems without investigating what properties,
requirements and dynamics of reputation in natural societies are, and
why they evolved.
Reputation deserves a full role as a scientific topic, a focus on its
specificities, i.e., its potential as preventive social knowledge and
selective mechanism of transmission.
TOPICS
We invite papers from all scientific communities working on reputation,
including multi-agent systems, social simulation, economics,
organisation science and management, e-governance/learning/business,
virtual societies and markets, social cognition, (evolutionary) game
theory, social psychology, sociology, social and collective dilemmas,
social dynamics, cultural evolution and business ethics.
Topics for ICORE 2009 include but are not limited to:
* Theory of reputation
* Simulation of reputation
* Computational models of reputation
* Agent reputation models
* Ontologies of reputation
* Logical formalization of reputation
* Experimental evidence of reputation diffusion
* Reputation-based e-government, e-learning, e-business
* Reputation in p2p systems
* Reputation in grid environments
* Reputation for partner selection
* Incentives in Reputation Mechanisms
* Image and reputation
* Reputation management and optimisation
* Reputation and social networks
* Reputation and norms
* Reputation and altruism, reciprocity, and cooperation
* Reputation and trust
* Reputation for sabotage tolerance in large-scale applications
* Reputation and exchange
* Reputation and institutions
* Reputation and social capital
* Corporate and firm reputation
SUBMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS
See the conference website (http://www.reputation09.net) for detailed
information on how to submit papers.
All submissions should be no longer than 15 pages, in pdf format, using
the (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors)
Springer LNCS style.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Papers should present novel ideas related to reputation, clearly
motivated by problems from current practice or applied research.
We expect claims to be substantiated by theoretical or formal analysis,
experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and so on.
Authors are also encouraged to submit application papers. Application
papers are expected to address an indication of the real world relevance
of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment
domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or
superiority to alternative approaches.
