-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers - WikiSym 2009 Datum: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 01:53:51 -0500 Von: Pattarawan Mai Prasarnphanich <pattarawanp(a)sasin.edu> Antwort an: Pattarawan Mai Prasarnphanich <pattarawanp(a)sasin.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ======================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================== W I K I S Y M 2 0 0 9 The International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration http://www.wikisym.org/ws2009/ October 25-27 in Orlando, Florida, USA In-cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN and ACM SIGWEB, co-located with ACM OOPSLA 2009, peer-reviewed and archived in the ACM Digital Library ======================================================== The International Symposium on Wikis (WikiSym) is the premier conference dedicated to wikis and related open collaboration systems and processes. WikiSym 2009 aims to explore and extend the thriving wiki community, bringing together researchers, practitioners, writers and scholars to gather, discuss and share knowledge and experience on all areas related to wikis and wiki philosophy, ranging from social to technical, and from theoretical to experience studies. The symposium combines a rigorously reviewed research paper track with plenty of space for experience reports, discussions of work in progress, demonstrations, tutorials, and lively informal last minute sessions in open space and WikiFest sessions. This year, WikiSym will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA---a city with a tropical climate, poolside fruity drinks, and world-class entertainment opportunities for adults and families. == IMPORTANT DATES == * March 27th: Submission deadline for research papers, experience reports, workshops, and panels * April 24th: Submission deadline for posters, demonstrations, WikiFest and Doctoral Symposium proposals * May 22nd: Notifications for all submission categories (workshops earlier) * October 25-27: WikiSym 2009! == TOPICS OF INTEREST == WikiSym welcomes submissions of research papers (long and short), experience reports, workshops, panels, posters, demonstrations, WikiFest and Doctoral Symposium proposals. Given the interdisciplinary nature of wiki and related systems, WikiSym invites contributions in a wide range of fields: * computer science and technology * human-computer interaction * communications and media studies * education * information and library science * history, political science, geography * linguistics, discourse analysis, language studies * business, marketing, law * natural sciences, medicine Topics of special interest to the symposium include, but are not limited to: * social software for collaboration and work group processes * wiki user experiences, usability, and discourse analysis * reputation systems, quality assurance processes * scalability---social and technical * wiki technologies and implementations * translation and multilingual wiki content * educational applications * wiki for non-textual media (images, video, audio) * content dynamics and wiki evolution * wiki journalism * wiki archiving and versioning * wiki administration: dealing with abuse and resolving conflict * wiki and the semantic web, knowledge management, tacit knowledge * wiki for small audiences (departmental and family wikis) * legal issues (copyright, licensing) * visualization of wiki structure * wiki fiction == RESEARCH PAPERS == Research papers present integrative reviews or original reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical, or in the development or deployment of novel systems. We encourage emphasizing lessons learned and providing a clear concise message to the audience about the relevance of the work. The paper must place your work in context within the field, citing related work and indicating clearly what aspects of the work are new. Research papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee to meet rigorous academic standards of publication. They should be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages (for full papers) or 4 pages (for short papers). Papers will be reviewed both with respect to conceptual quality and clarity of presentation. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference in order to present the paper. Accepted submissions will be published in the WikiSym proceedings and archived in the ACM Digital Library. Submitted papers should use the ACM SIG Proceedings Format, see: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html == EXPERIENCE REPORTS == Experience reports are an integral part of the conference program. These reports provides a large group of peers the opportunity to learn from a project's experience; they explore how concepts that sound good on paper (and at conferences!) work on real projects. They are a valuable means of communicating experiences, especially at the "bleeding edge". Many attendees want to find out what it is like to start a company wiki, use a wiki in classroom education, or build a political campaign around a wiki. Experience reports present experience and reflections, together with supporting evidence for any claims made. And they particularly include reports that discuss both benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used. Reports may focus on a particular aspect of technology usage and practice, or describe broad project experiences. Some reports focus on people, process or related challenges. == WORKSHOPS == Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss and learn about topics that require extended engagement such as new systems, research methods, standards and formats. A workshop should require participants to engage with each other for at least half a day. For shorter sessions, please consider WikiSym's open space format. A workshop proposal should consist of approximately two pages describing what you intend to do and how your session will meet the criteria described above. It should include a concise abstract, proposed time frame (half-day, full-day) and one-paragraph biographies of all people relevant to the submission. Workshop proposals will be reviewed and selected for their interest to the community. Each workshop will be allocated a half-day or a full-day and a room. == PANELS == Panels provide an interactive forum for bringing together people with interesting points of view to discuss compelling wiki issues. Panels involve participation from both the panelists and audience members in a lively discussion. Proposals for panels should consist of approximately two pages describing what you intend to do and how your session will meet the criteria described above. It should include a concise abstract and one-paragraph biographies of all people relevant to the submission. A panel submission will be reviewed and selected for their interest to the community. Each panel will be given a 90-minute time slot. == POSTERS == Poster presentations enable researchers to present late-breaking results, significant work in progress, or work that is best communicated in conversation. WikiSym's lively poster sessions let conference attendees exchange ideas one-on-one with authors, and let authors discuss their work in detail with those attendees most deeply interested in the topic. Poster proposals may describe original research, engineering, or experience reports. Submissions should consist of two page extended abstract outlining the content of the poster. Successful applicants will be invited display a poster, 1x2m in size, at a special plenary session of the Symposium. == DEMONSTRATIONS == Wikis are intended to be used, and no format is better suited for demonstrating the utility of new wiki research and technology than showing and using it. If you would like to demonstrate new features or products, this is the place! Demonstrations give presenters an opportunity to show running systems and gather feedback. Demo submissions will be reviewed based on their relevance to the community. A submission should be one page in length, with a title, and a short description of the demo. The description should include what you plan to demo, what you hope to get out of demoing, and how the audience will benefit. A short note of any special technical requirements may be included. == WIKI FEST == WikiFest is a conference session devoted to helping you start and grow a successful wiki in your organization. Proposals should showcase a wiki adoption strategy or example, with emphasis on how others can apply your strategy to their own wiki. Topics to be covered: * Tools---Choose the right wiki software for your needs * Adoption---How to run a pilot, establish a core group of users, and grow usage. * Uses---How does your team use a wiki? How has it helped your productivity? * Obstacles---What are they, and how can you avoid or fix them? == DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM == The Doctoral Symposium is an interactive forum for doctoral students to receive present and discuss their doctoral work. Students who are at least one year away from dissertation completion are invited to submit to the Doctoral Symposium. Students beginning their research are especially invited to attend. To submit a proposal send a 2-3 pages description of your dissertation research, including: * A description of your work * The goals---what contributions will your research generate? * The approach---what is being performed to achieve the goals? How will results be validated? Additionally, your adviser must send a brief statement of your dissertation progress to date and a statement of recommendation to the Doctoral Symposium chair. == HOW TO SUBMIT == Please submit your papers or proposals in PDF format through our submission system at the WikiSym website (available in early 2009). * http://www.wikisym.org/ws2009 All accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings and archived in the ACM Digital Library.

This ubiquitous intelligence will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed and the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By enhancing everyday objects with intelligence, many tasks and processes could be simplified, the physical spaces where people interact like the workplaces and homes, could become more efficient, safer and more enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, uses these many "smart things/u-things" to create smart environments. 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. Research on ubiquitous intelligence is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the current level of computing services to the smart world of adaptive and intelligent services. Started in 2005, the series of UIC conferences has been held in Taipei, Nagasaki, Three Gorges (China), Hong Kong and Oslo. UIC-09 will include a highly selective program of technical papers, accompanied by workshops, panel discussions and keynote speeches. Established as a premier venue in the area of ubiquitous intelligence and computing, UIC-09 will offer a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments and systems. The UIC-09 topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Ubiquitous Intelligence/Smart Systems * Sensor, Ad Hoc & Mesh Networks * Peer-to-peer Networks * Mobile Social Networking * Knowledge Representation and Ontology * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems * Middleware and Intelligent Platforms * Intelligent Services and Architectures * Agents, Swarm/Amorphous Systems * Context-aware Systems 2.Ubiquitous Intelligence/Smart Environments * Smart Room, Home, Office, Laboratory * Smart Building, Library, School, Campus * Smart Shop, Hospital and City, etc. * Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation * Healthcare and Elder Care Services * Pervasive Learning, Games, Entertainment * Other Intelligent/Smart Applications 3.Personal/Social/Physical Aspects * Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics * User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition * Adaptive User Interfaces * Security, Privacy, Safety and Legal Issues * Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors * Implication and Impact of Ubiquitous Intelligence * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds 4.

This change of paradigm is currently profoundly transforming most areas of our life: our interactions with other people, our relationships, ways of gathering information, ways of developing social norms, opinions, attitudes and even legal aspects, as well as ways of working and doing business. The change also raises a strong need for theoretical, empirical and applied studies related to how people may interact on the Web, how they actually do so, and what new possibilities and challenges are emerging in the social, business and technology dimensions. Following the two previous events, the goal of the 3rd Workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners together to explore the issues and challenges related to social aspects of the Web. TOPICS OF INTEREST * People on the social Web * Individuals on the Web (identity, privacy, incentives, activity models, trust and reputation, ...) * Communities on the Web (roles, leadership, social norms and conflicts, types of communities, ...) * Collaboration on the Web (content and data development and maintenance, decision taking ...) * On-line and off-line life (mixed interaction models, on-line vs. off-line communities, ... ) * Business activities in the social Web (sales, exchanges, word-of-mouth, recruiting, marketing, ...) * Data and content on the social Web * Social content organization (tagging, classification, recommendations, collaborative filtering, ...) * Content dynamics (content flow and evolution, mashups, comments, collaborative creation, ...) * Semantic social Web (standards, annotation of social content/data, ontology learning, ...) * Data and social network portability (standards, policies, technologies, licenses, ...) * Social software and services * Specific types of social software (social networks, blogs, wikis, resources sharing, ...) * Development (architectures, technologies, platforms, infrastructures, ...) * Adoption (critical mass problem, socio-technical gap, data and social network migration, ...) * Alternative user interaction models (games, mobile, mixed reality, ...) * Social software in the enterprise (knowledge management, CRM, collaborative software, ...) * Business models of social services (pricing, cost models, customer relation, content acquisition, ...) * Mining the social Web * Mining user-generated content (opinion, comments, rankings, forums, ...) * Mining the social graph (collaborative filtering, social network analysis, ...) * Mining activity patterns (access, used features, participation, interactions, ...) * Entity-centric content integration (on people, experts, objects, companies, locations, ...) * Social Web mining in business (for marketing, products design, customer support, ...) SUBMISSION * Long papers: max. 12 pages * Work-in-progress reports: max. 6 pages * Demo papers: max. 4 pages Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to Springer LNBIP template available from http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-487211-0.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: "Personalization Technologies and Impacts" - AMCIS 09mini track Datum: Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:46:25 -0700 Von: Dezhi Wu <Wu(a)suu.edu> Antwort an: Dezhi Wu <Wu(a)suu.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear Sir/Madam, Would you please help us distribute the following CFP to all the ISWorld subscribers? Thank you, Dezhi Wu ------------------------------------------------ (Apologies for any cross-postings) Call for papers for the AMCIS 2009 mini track: "Personalization Technologies and Impacts" (part of the HCI Track) Advancement in technologies (e.g., Internet, mobile and wireless technology, and ubiquitous technology) has made personalization possible and available. Personalization has been recognized as an important concept in IS research and has received considerable attention from both academia and industry. Many practitioners and researchers are investigating into various issues of personalization. Yet, there is a lot to be known about personalization technologies, personalization applications, and their impacts. This mini-track addresses all the issues related to designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating personalization technologies from the technical, behavioral, economical, or managerial perspectives.

Thank you, Christian ===================================================================== 2nd Cyberspace Research Workshop (2009) June 15, 2009 Shreveport, LA ===================================================================== Call for Papers Due: April 15, 2009 Web page: http://csc.latech.edu The Center for Secure Cyberspace (CSC), a collaborative effort of Louisiana Tech and Louisiana State Universities, announces the upcoming Cyberspace Research Workshop. This event will be held on Monday, June 15, 2009 at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, in conjunction with the 2009 AFCS (Air Force Cyberspace Symposium). The workshop will provide a venue to discuss emerging technologies, share ideas, and create opportunities for researchers and practitioners in various areas of cyber security. ===================================================================== Theme: "Cyber Security in the 21st Century" Cyberspace is a medium that is rampant with attackers. Due to the largely reactive mindset that governs many strategies designed to deal with the onslaught of attacks, we often find ourselves in a defensive position compelled to play "catch-up." More proactive methods of cyber defense are thus essential for effective interception of attackers. Moreover, maintaining a state of knowledge with respect to the cyber environment becomes necessary in order to provide overall situational awareness. Undoubtedly, a diverse set of topics fall within the cyber security realm; the purpose of this workshop is to share work related to a wide range of areas within the cyber security realm. Topics (including but not limited to): o Strategic Cyber Defense o Global Cyber Situational Understanding o Sensor Placement o Hardware and Software Anti-Tamper o The Psychology of Cyber Security o Malware and Anti-Malware Technologies Interested authors are encouraged to submit their papers/extended abstracts related to the workshop's theme and topics. The workshop is divided into two tracks: o A general refereed paper track. Papers of five to ten pages should be submitted. o A "work-in-progress" track. Extended abstracts of three to five pages should be submitted. This track is designed to introduce interesting new or ongoing work for discussion and feedback. All submissions should be e-mailed by April 15, 2009, to Jean Gourd (jgourd(a)latech.edu) with "2009 CSC Workshop" in the subject line.

However, for reasons such as: password protection, FORM based interfaces and usage of dynamic client-side technologies (JavaScript, AJAX, Flash, Adobe Air, and others), a significant portion of modern Web content cannot be indexed and thus is unavailable to the majority of Web users. In many cases these information sources that cannot be indexed, known altogether under the names of Deep Web, Hidden Web or Invisible Web, are better structured and of better quality than indexable surface Web sources. First attempts to index deep Web sources are proving that the task is not trivial. Started recently, Deep Web research combines challenges from several active research areas including information retrieval, information extraction, hypertext, Web engineering, data integration, database technologies and the Semantic Web. The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners together to explore the issues and challenges related to domain dependent and independent Deep Web empirical studies, methodologies and techniques of accessing and processing Deep Web content, as well as their real life applications. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Modelling and Describing Deep Web * Models of Deep Web Navigation * Hidden Web Data and the Semantic Web * Description of Deep Web Sources Contents * Description of Deep Web Sources Querying Capabilities * Addressing Content and Data in Deep Web Sources * Semantic Annotation of Deep Web Sources * Standards Supporting Deep Web Access (XForms, SiteMap) * Empirical Studies of Deep Web * Research on Deep Web Size and Topicality * Deep Web Content and Quality Studies * Domain-Specific Deep Web Sources Studies * Comparative Studies of Deep Web and Surface Web Content * Working with Deep Web Sources * Probing Deep Web Sources * Classification and Clustering of Deep Web Sources * Handling Client-Side Technologies (JavaScript/dHTML/AJAX) for Deep Web Access * Extraction of Data from Deep Web * Deep Web Sources Discovery * Archiving and Preservation of Deep Web Content * Methods of Deep Web Indexing * Data Integration from Deep Web Sources * Deep Web Sources Selection * Rewriting Queries for Deep Web Sources * Matching and Mapping of Deep Web Sources Schemas * Methods of Deep Web Meta-Search * Data mashups * Applications of Deep Web Research * Monitoring Hidden Web Data * Cases and Best Practices of Deep Web Data Usage * Business Models of Deep Web Data Integration * Legal and Ethical Aspects of Using Deep Web Content * Detecting and Disabling Deep Web Harvesting SUBMISSION * Long papers: max. 12 pages * Work-in-progress reports: max. 6 pages * Demo papers: max. 4 pages Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to Springer LNBIP template available from http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-487211-0.
