-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CFP: ECML/PKDD Workshop WBBTMine'08 Datum: Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:56:35 +0200 Von: Andreas Hotho <hotho(a)cs.uni-kassel.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, ak-kd-list(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, kdml(a)cs.uni-kassel.de, fg-db(a)informatik.uni-rostock.de, fca-list(a)cs.uni-kassel.de -------------- Apologies for cross-postings ---------------------------- 2nd Call for Papers Wikis, Blogs, Bookmarking Tools - Mining the Web 2.0 (WBBTMine'08) http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ws/wbbtmine2008/ Workshop at ECML/PKDD 2008 - Antwerp, Belgium, 15 Sept. 2008 Important dates =============== * Paper submission deadline: June 16 * Author Notification: July 16 * Camera Ready Papers: August 14 * Workshop: September 15 Overview ======== Many Web 2.0 applications have rapidly emerged on the Web. This indicates a currently ongoing grass-root creation of knowledge spaces on the Web. The reason for the success of cooperative Web tools (wikis, blogs, etc.) and resource sharing (social bookmark systems, photo sharing systems, etc.) lies mainly in the fact that no specific skills are needed for publishing and editing. Web 2.0 applications are a very interesting application area for data mining. Unlike in traditional data mining scenarios, data does not emerge from a small number of (heterogeneous) data sources, but virtually from millions of different sources. As there is only minimal coordination, these sources can overlap or diverge in many ways. These fundamental features of heterogeneity and independence, known from collaborative filtering, are not limited to ratings and recommendations but extend to arbitrary complex data and data mining tasks. Steps into this new and exciting application area are the analysis of this new data, then the adaptation of well-known data mining and machine learning algorithm and finally the development of new algorithms. As research analyzing Wikis, Blogs and the structure underlying Social Bookmarks matures (and Web 2.0 workshops and conferences begin to proliferate), this workshop seeks contributions focused on state-of-the-art data mining algorithm and machine learning methods on Web 2.0 data. Papers describing new algorithms working on Web 2.0 data or work discussing aspects on the intersection of Web 2.0 and Knowledge Discovery are also highly welcome. In short, we want to accelerate the process of identifying the power of advanced data mining operating on Web 2.0 data, as well as the process of advancing data mining through lessons learned in analyzing these new data. Topics of interest ================== include, but are not limited to: * network analysis of social resources sharing systems * analysis of wikis and blogs * analysis of social online communities * discovering social structures and communities * analysis of network dynamics * discovering misuse and fraud * Web 2.0 personalization * Web 2.0 technologies for recommender systems * information retrieval in the Web 2.0 * community detection * emergent semantics * Web 2.0 based ontology learning * predicting trends and user behavior * semantic association identification by link analysis * Web 2.0 crawling * mining information from distributed and re-combined Web 2.0 sources / mash-ups * mobile Web 2.0: social search; mobile communities; ? * usage interfaces for mining: parallelization of Web and mobile interfaces; mash-up interfaces * interactions between usage interfaces and data collection, mining, and presentation * privacy challenges in Web 2.0 and mobile Web 2.0 applications * applications of any of the above methods and technologies Workshop chairs =============== * Bettina Berendt, K.U.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for paper - Special Issue of the International Journal of Technology Management (SSCI, SCIE) Datum: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 05:45:58 -0400 Von: Sung Ho Ha <hsh(a)mail.knu.ac.kr> Antwort an: Sung Ho Ha <hsh(a)mail.knu.ac.kr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of the International Journal of Technology Management (SSCI, SCIE) on The Internet Channel Affecting Service Sciences. The Internet channel has much affected most business companies since it has been adopted as a communication, trading medium. Those companies which are willing to adopt the Internet channel have enjoyed revenue increases, while those which are not have suffered revenue losses. The objective of this special issue is to highlight this particular aspect of the relationship between the Internet channel and the service sciences. Nowadays the service industry is the most rapidly expanding part of the economies in the United States, and in European and some Asian countries. In the United States, services account for about $7.1 trillion of the U.S. gross domestic product (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007). The service sciences try to understand the phenomena which have been happened in the service industry. In this context, maintaining the Internet channel effectively and efficiently is a very important issue to both service managers and service scientists who are strongly interrelated with the Internet channel productivity. This special issue of IJTM seeks original articles on "The Internet channel affecting service sciences." We prefer case studies of implemented systems or descriptions of innovative technologies, highlighting actual usage results. We also invite papers that focus on sociological approaches for evaluation methods. Appropriate topics include: o. Internet channel affecting service sciences for the service industry o. Internet channel conflicts and resolutions in the service science o. Channels integration and convergence in the service science o. Channel knowledge management as a service science o. Strategic channel usage for the service science o. Marketing and Internet channels in the service science o. Service creation and supply through the Internet channel o. Service channel productivity measurement o. Evaluation of Internet channel performance o. Personalization of the Internet channel for the service science Submission of Manuscripts Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the submission guidelines of International Journal of Technology Management (http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalID=27).

While information and communication technologies (ICTs) may appear ubiquitous in the 21st century, access to those ICTs is far from universal. The term 'social inclusion' has been suggested as a more positive way of approaching this digital divide (Warschauer 2003). Social inclusion is defined as 'participation in the determination of both individual and collective life chances' (Stewart 2000). Thus there is more to social inclusion than equal access to resources, and it should be recognised that even wealthy individuals may be excluded because of discrimination based on gender, race, sexual preference or disability, or political persecution (Warschauer 2003). For instance, there is evidence that African Americans are socially excluded from participation in ICTs despite the US being a so-called developed country, and this is true of many poorer communities in developed countries. In developing countries, there is evidence that ICT initiatives tend to favour those who already have access to ICTs through a superior education (Warschauer 2003). It is inceasingly important to locate ICTs within the particular social conditions because as with all technologies, they are an integral aspect of socio-political, economic and cultural development (Hufkin and Huyer 2006). ICTs can play a crucial role in shaping collective life chances, for instance the access to information that ICTs offer can help poverty reduction. ICTs also facilitate the building of human and social capital through increasing flows of information, and building on knowledge and human capacity for poverty reduction (Urquhart, Liyanage and Kah 2007). In addition to their empowering possibilities, ICTs have also inhibiting tendencies especially when information and communication is not integrated within development strategies. These contradictory tendencies invite more careful theoretically nuanced analysis of ICTs and social inclusion. If the position of social inclusion implies equal access to technology for all, then the sustainability of ICTs in terms of how they are designed, used and disposed of is also of relevance. E-waste is a problem in some developing countries, and can be seen to be contrary to the social inclusion ideal as some countries end up processing other countries -waste. Such actions are likely to have generational effects, socially and ecologically. Social inclusion by implication has a concern with equity and social justice - and environmental problems like global warming do not respect political boundaries. For these reasons, we also invite papers that look at novel perspectives on ICTs and environmental issues. Possible topics for papers include but are not limited to: * Assessing government policies and initiatives that counter social exclusion in ICTs * Economic perspectives on access to ICTs such as government policy and ICT infrastructure * Access, ownership and control of ICTs (including the micro and macro politics of artefacts) * Social, spatial and philosophical dimensions of ICTs and social inclusion * ICTs and social inclusion as a result of gender inequality, racial discrimination and other aspects of social exclusion * The role of human and social capital in effective access and use of ICTs * The role of virtual communities in promoting social inclusion * Unintended consequences of ICT for social inclusion * ICTs and e-government * The role of ICTs in economic development. * How ICTs are reconfiguring traditional notions of citizenship and participation. * Sustainable ICTs and ICTs which assist with problems of climate change and environmental monitoring. Please feel free to contact Cathy Urquhart on c.urquhart(a)auckland.ac.nz or Yvonne Underhill-Sem on y.underhill-sem(a)auckland.ac.nz with any queries on submission. See http://www.emeraldinsight.com/info/journals/jices/notes.jsp for guidelines on submission.

These are characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, and freedom to share and reuse. Web 2.0 refers to a set of collaborative applications and mashups with a social approach to generating and distributing Web content. Web 2.0 applications provide a basis for social networks, where users share and filter content, collaborate, seek information, and interact on the Web. ECRA's Social Networks and Web 2.0 special issue provides a forum both for describing and evaluating innovative Web 2.0 technologies, along with novel strategies and methods for building and managing such applications. We welcome theoretical, analytical, case study, empirical, and other methodological works that support contributions relating to specific classes of applications, as well as to cross-disciplinary and cross-paradigm research. We are especially interested in showcasing research that has the potential to create strong individual, organization, industry, economic and social impacts and transformations.

[Fwd: [isworld] (Call for papers) The 2nd International Workshop on the Induction of Process Models (IPM08) at ECML PKDD 2008, 15 September 2008, Antwerp, Belgium]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] (Call for papers) The 2nd International Workshop on the Induction of Process Models (IPM08) at ECML PKDD 2008, 15 September 2008, Antwerp, Belgium Datum: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 11:35:07 -0400 Von: Ana Karla Alves de Medeiros <a.k.medeiros(a)tue.nl> Antwort an: Ana Karla Alves de Medeiros <a.k.medeiros(a)tue.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The 2nd International Workshop on the Induction of Process Models (IPM�08) at ECML PKDD 2008, 15 September 2008, Antwerp, Belgium Call for Papers While the worlds of science and business typically meet in the presence of a profitable scheme, individuals from both environments have interests in analyzing complex data about dynamic systems. Whether motivated by a drive to increase system efficiency or to understand nature, their shared goal leads to a shared focus on the underlying causal processes that explain or produce observed phenomena. To this end, researchers construct models from data derived from observed system behavior and background knowledge about the candidate processes. Traditional literature on regression, time-series analysis, and data mining produces descriptive models that may reproduce the observed data but cannot explain the principal dynamics. Therefore, researchers are called to develop methods that capture complex temporal and spatial relationships in terms of domain knowledge (e.g., relevant scientific or business concepts) and that construct these explanatory process models. One can develop both qualitative and quantitative process models depending on their intended use. Qualitative approaches to model induction include learning state transition models, Petri-nets, and learning from (time-stamped) event sequences and event logs. Qualitative representations are particularly interesting for business applications that aim to discover business processes from data. Examples of event logs include process data generated by administrative services, health care data about patient handling, and logs of workflow tools. In comparison, quantitative approaches to model construction are grounded in standard mathematical representations (e.g., systems of differential equations). Quantitative representations are common in scientific applications, and are especially prominent in the environmental and biological sciences that deal with complex, natural systems. Notably, the business and scientific worlds are not separated by an interest in the qualitative or quantitative emphasis of their models. Moreover, researchers working in these domains would benefit from approaches that integrate the qualitative and quantitative aspects of system behavior. In this workshop, we aim to attract researchers with an interest in inductive process modeling in different formalisms including Petri nets, qualitative and quantitative processes, differential equations, episode rules, logical rules, and others. Also, although we have emphasized the business and scientific domains, we are open to any application of process model induction. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes: * learning structured process models such as Petri net or process algebra models from event logs * modeling techniques for describing the structure of event data such as Markov models * learning differential equation models * learning in qualitative reasoning representations * learning in temporal logic * learning logical models of state transitions (e.g., by recursive clauses) * learning from time-stamped event sequences (e.g., episode rules) * learning from large databases of trajectories * connectionist/subsymbolic models of sequence learning * scalable and robust process mining algorithms and techniques * process mining evaluation: metrics, approaches and frameworks * the adaption of web mining, text mining, temporal data mining approaches for inductive process modeling * particularly welcome are case studies and applications (e.g., from business, the environmental, medical or biological sciences) and discussions of the lessons learned from such case studies * and papers identifying open problems such as dealing with missing and/or noisy data, regularization, incorporating background/domain knowledge, efficient search through the space of candidate process-based models, ... Inductive process modeling and process mining are challenging research areas that have the potential to grow in importance like graph or sequence mining. On the other hand, process mining can benefit from the input of related fields in data mining and machine learning, such as temporal data mining, episodes and web log mining. In the ECML/PKDD 2008 workshop on the induction of process models, we intend to bring scientists together and actively identify common research threads, define open problems, and develop collaborative contacts. It should provide a more relaxed atmosphere than a conference setting where participants are encouraged to ask clarifying questions throughout the talks and to move past jargon-induced barriers. Submission Extended abstracts (two pages in Springer format) should be submitted by June 16th, 2008. Final versions of accepted papers will appear in the informal ECML/PKDD workshop proceedings and will be made available on the workshop website before the workshop takes place. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit a short 4 to 8 page paper in PDF format (following the Springer LNCS guidelines for preparing manuscripts) that describes their research in more detail.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CIST 2008 *DEADLINE EXTENDED* TO JUNE 7 Datum: Fri, 30 May 2008 16:11:57 -0400 Von: Syam Menon <syam(a)utdallas.edu> Antwort an: Syam Menon <syam(a)utdallas.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Hello, The submission deadline for CIST 2008 has been extended to midnight EST on June 7, 2008. Co-Chairs, CIST Call For Papers - Conference on Information Systems and Technology 2008 October 11-12th, Washington DC INFORMS Annual Conference Co-chairs: Anand Gopal (Univ of Maryland), Syam Menon (UT Dallas) and Siva Viswanathan (Univ of Maryland) Information systems research has progressed in the last decade beyond the confines of what was once considered a field characterized by hardware, software and telecommunication systems. IS research today is more suitably positioned at the confluence of several research traditions and methodologies, borrowing from and contributing to reference disciplines such as computer science, economics, sociology, marketing, operations management, and strategy. This cross-disciplinary perspective places IS researchers in a unique position to be able to examine novel and emerging phenomena and the rapid changes brought about by technology. The focus of this conference will be on examining emerging areas of interest that are still at the periphery of IS research � but are gaining prominence rapidly. Extending the envelope of IS research to study these emerging phenomena promises new theoretical and managerial insights. CIST 2008 is intended to highlight this theme by bringing together scholars who have leveraged and informed multiple and diverse disciplines to present their ideas in topics such as: Consumer behavior in mobile and digital environments Digital Intermediaries and Sponsored Search Advertising Social Networks and Web 2.0 IS in Healthcare IT security and privacy Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Software Engineering Personalization Technologies Intellectual Property, Copyrights, and DRM Outsourcing and application service contracting Software procurement, open source software, and open standards IT in emerging economies and non-governmental organizations Knowledge management, collaboration and boundary spanning Online communities, and computer-mediated collaboration The 2008 Conference on Information Systems and Technology will be held in Washington D.C on October 11th and October 12th 2008. The conference coincides with the INFORMS Annual Meeting, which will be held October 12 through 15 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel and Omni Shoreham Hotel. Key Dates Submission deadline: June 7th, 2008. Notification of acceptance: August 1st, 2008 Conference: October 11th and 12th, 2008. Submissions are due June 1st, 2008. Submission should be made online at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=CIST08. More details are available through the conference website (http://www.smith.umd.edu/dit/cist2008/index.html). All CIST participants are required to register for CIST and the INFORMS Annual Conference. Questions can be emailed to cist08(a)gmail.com or to the co-chairs.
