CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS
First Proposal Submission Deadline: December 23, 2010
Virtual Community Participation and Motivation: Cross-Disciplinary
Theories
A book edited by Dr. Honglei Li
Swansea University, United Kingdom
To be published by IGI Global:
http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=762
Introduction
This book intends to give a comprehensive view on virtual community
participation. With the power to gather people with similar interests
together, virtual communities have gained attention by not only
practitioners, but researchers, as well. Various studies have been done to
explore why people participate in virtual communities since it is only
after aggregating a certain amount of members that a virtual community can
be viable. Virtual community participation refers to those behaviours in
which members mainly participate. Basically, past researchers have found
two types of behaviours: lurking and active participation. Although many
studies discussed the motivations to participate in virtual communities,
including gift economy, pursuit of power, sense of belonging, sense of
inclusion, relationship building, and so forth, none of them have given a
clear and comprehensive framework on the reasons for virtual community
participation. As the field is now in a position to call for a synthesis
publication to integrate all aspects of virtual community participation
theories, it?s important to edit a book to give both researchers and
general virtual community practitioner the theoretical guidelines. This
book will bring together the issues that managers, practitioners, and
researchers must consider when planning, implementing, and managing
members in virtual communities.
Objective of the Book
The book gives in-depth coverage of state-of-the-art research on virtual
community participation. It first covers the concept of virtual community
participation, followed by several streams of virtual community
participation theories. It will be written for professionals, researchers,
practitioners, and designers who want to improve their understanding of
the strategic role of virtual community participation within the
development of digital communication.
Target Audience
This book appeals to those interested not only in virtual communities, but
also in virtual worlds, virtual teams, and even online shopping. Virtual
community researchers, as well as researchers from diverse
fields--computer science, information systems, psychology, sociology, and
telecommunications--will find valuable motivation theories discussed in
this book. But this book appeals to more than just researchers.
Practitioners and managers looking to organize virtual communities
efficiently and effectively will also benefit from the case discussions,
empirical studies, and data analysis. In addition, upper-level and
graduate-level students will find this research useful in their course
work and research. Finally, this book will be a welcome addition to
academic libraries' research collections.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
--Virtual community participation behavior definition
--Discussion of various virtual community behaviors
--The interpersonal relationship reason of virtual community participation
--The social capital perspective of virtual community participation
--The attachment of virtual community participation
--The belonging or inclusion perspective of participation
-- Gift economy perspective of virtual community participation
--Frameworks to explain virtual community participation
--Behavior theories
--Social psychological perspective of virtual community participation
--The power side of virtual community participation
--Knowledge management motivation to participation
--The communicational perspective to participate
--The psychological perspective to participate
--The process virtualization perspective to participate
Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February
13, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and
concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals
will be notified by February 28, 2010 about the status of their proposals
and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by
April 13, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind
review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for
this project. Additional information about this can be found at:

7th Extended Semantic Web Conference | ESWC 2010 30 May - 3 June
2010 | Heraklion, Greece http://www.eswc2010.org/
*****
ABOUT THE ESWC2010
The mission of the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2010) is to bring
together researchers and practitioners dealing with
different aspects of semantics on the Web. ESWC2010 builds on the success
of the former European Semantic Web Conference series, but
seeks to extend its focus by collaborating with other communities and
research areas, in which web semantics play an important role
-- within and outside ICT. At the same time, ESWC2010 is a truly
international conference, not only "European".
Semantics of web content, enriched with domain theories (ontologies), data
about web usage, natural language processing,
etc. will enable a web that provides a qualitatively new level of
functionality. It will weave together a large network of human
knowledge and make this knowledge machine-processable. Various automated
services, based on reasoning with metadata and
ontologies, will help the users to achieve their goals by accessing and
processing information in machine-understandable
form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly
intelligent systems, which will be employed for various
complex decision-making tasks. Research about web semantics can benefit
from ideas and cross-fertilization with many other areas:
Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Database and
Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Multimedia,
Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web Engineering, and Web Science.
ESWC2010 will present the latest results in research and applications in
its field. The research program will be organised
in targeted research tracks. In addition, the conference will feature a
tutorial program, system descriptions and demos, a
posters track, a Ph.D. symposium, and a number of collocated workshops.
The individual calls for these events can be found on
the conference Web site (http://www.eswc2010.org/).

ONTOLOGIES AND REASONING TRACK
The Ontologies and Reasoning programme involves the management of and
reasoning with ontologies and rules, so as to support their
applications. The central idea of this vision is to use (1) ontologies to
encode application data in a machine understandable
form, in order to be able to automatically integrate data from different
sources and to be able to support semantic search for
information based on its meaning rather than its syntactic form, and (2)
rules to perform conditional decision, event processing
and actions on behalf of the user.
In this track we invite high-quality submissions related (but not limited)
to the following topics:
- Rules and ontology management (creation, evolution, reuse, evaluation,
etc.)
- Searching, visualizing, navigating and browsing ontologies
- Ontology reasoning and query answering
- Approximate reasoning techniques for the Web
- Ontology usability
- Query languages and optimization for ontologies
- Combining rules and ontologies
- Declarative rule-based reasoning techniques
- Rule languages, standards, and rule systems
- Ontology-based search
- Ontology alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and
reconciliation)
- Ontology learning and metadata generation (e.g., HLT and ML approaches)
- Acquisition of rules and ontologies by knowledge extraction
- Corporate Semantic Web
- applications in enterprises and economic valuation
- Language extensions of OWL, ODM, RIF, RuleML, ...
Papers should be submitted through the Easychair system:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eswc2010ontologiesandreasoning
*****
SUBMISSIONS
ESWC2010 welcomes the submission of original research and application
papers dealing with all aspects of representing and
using semantics on the web. We encourage theoretical, methodological,
empirical, and applications papers.
The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and
reviewing for ESWC2010 will be electronic via the conference submissions
site. Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in
length and must be formatted according to the information for LNCS
authors.

Call for Papers
AMCIS Mini-track: Worldwide Advances in eGovernment Interoperability
Description and Topics
Moving in the direction of Electronic and Transformational Government
roadmaps, as adopted by Governments all around the world, interoperability
is posing as one of the great challenges for administrations, industry and
research. With the basic standardisation now in place, as most Governments
have issued eGovernment Standardisation Frameworks, attention is gradually
transferred to the implementation and deployment of infrastructures to
support one-stop delivery of public electronic services, through the
interoperable operation of a vast number of systems, organisational units
and public officials. Within this context, the minitrack is targeting
novel approaches, methods, practices and tools for achieving
interoperability in the provision of Digital Public Services, resulting
into a significant increase of service quality for citizens and
businesses. Specific importance is to be placed in multi-disciplinary
approaches, combining organizational, legal, semantic, technical and
participative elements of interoperability, providing relative support by
advanced information systems. The minitrack will also provide a stand for
real-life application examples, showing adoption by public administration,
citizens and enterprises at international, national or local level.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Interoperability State of the Art, Methods and Literature Reviews
- Social and Business implications of Interoperability in public
administration
- Interoperability Assessment in Administrations and Enterprises
- Interoperability Standardization for governments
- Process management: One-Stop Shop approaches and methods
- Ontology-based interoperability approaches
- Data interoperability standards for governments (UN/CEFACT/CCTS)
- SOA frameworks and architectures for interoperable governmental services
- Digital service registries and interoperability infrastructures
- Workflow execution and rule based systems in e-Government
- Future Internet systems for e-Government Interoperability
- Interoperability service utilities and infrastructures
- Interoperable electronic ID�s and authentication methods
- Agent-based approaches for interoperable service provision
- Policies and Decision making for Interoperability in e-Government
- BPR/BPM for achieving interoperability in administrations
- Private � public partnerships for interoperable services provision
- Case studies in Administrations worldwide
Since interoperability is a multi-disciplinary domain, new research
challenges are also bound to touch Semantics, Web Service Technologies,
Business Process Management and Re-engineering, Service Oriented
Architectures and Model Driven approaches.
Target Audience
The audience of the minitrack includes public administration officials and
industry executives, engaged both in organisational design and ICT
deployment, researchers and practitioners in the Electronic Government,
Electronic Business and Interoperability domains, university students and
professors of Computer and Management sciences, ICT industry staff engaged
in eGovernment projects and solutions, policy makers and decision drivers
at local, national or international levels.

DESCRIPTION
Rapid change in the early twenty first century has brought about
significant disparities in life chances as societies struggle to adapt to
new socio-economic and cultural conditions. For instance, traditional
patterns of work and employment are changing as work becomes scarce;
societies are becoming increasingly multi-cultural; individuals are living
longer and have much greater expectations of lifestyle and leisure
opportunities in later life; citizen journalists are challenging the
mainstream media by reporting news via social media such as YouTube,
Twitter and blogs. Information and communication technologies (ICT)
provide new pathways and solutions to problems of social inclusion within
and across underserved communities, diverse populations, and economically
challenged nations. Involvement with ICT � at the individual,
organizational, or consumer level � may engender a greater sense of
individual and collective purpose that helps to produce more socially
inclusive and cohesive communities.
The purpose of the Social Inclusion Track is to provide a forum for the
sharing of ideas and knowledge about the value of ICT as a means of
fostering social inclusion in the midst of societal change. An overview of
this track, including descriptions for the six mini-tracks, is located at
http://ist.psu.edu/faculty_pages/lkvasny/AMCIS2010/. Each of the
mini-tracks listed below welcome conceptual/theoretical research and
qualitative/quantitative empirical research on ICT and social inclusion.

CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on
** Model-Driven User-Centric Design & Engineering **
(MDUCDE'10)
held at the 11th IFAC/IFIP/IFORS/IEA Symposium
on Analysis, Design, and Evaluation of Human-Machine Systems
September 1st & 2nd, 2010,
Valenciennes/France
http://www.zmmi.de/MDUCDE2010/
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Theme
=====
A well-designed, intuitive, and appealing user interface is crucial to the
success of computer-based products and systems, and will gain even more
importance in the upcoming interaction paradigm of Ambient Intelligence
(or Ubiquitous Computing, respectively). In many domains, it will become
unthinkable to demand from users to get acquainted with hundreds of
systems; rather, these systems themselves have to be usable in an
efficient, yet non-intrusive and appealing way, must be adaptive and
intuitive, context-sensitive and, often, personalized. Therefore, new
approaches to automatic, on-the-fly creation of user-oriented, ergonomic
interfaces must be pursued.
The workshop shall bring together researchers and industrial experts on
user interface modeling, human-computer interaction, design, human
factors, and social issues of the progressing computerization.
Workshop Format
===============
The workshop is scheduled for two half days at the IFAC-HMS 2010
symposium. A selected number of participants will present their work in
paper presentations first. The last time slot is reserved for an intense
discussion and the formulation of conclusions.
Topics of Interest
==================
We solicit submissions which address one ore more of the following issues:
* Advanced and Model-driven User Interface Design
* Run-time Creation & Adaptation of User Interfaces
* User-Centric Design, Cultural Aspects
* Multi-modal and Barrier-free Interaction
* Knowledge Management in User Interface Design
* Usability Patterns
* Computer-Aided Design
* Usability, Human Factors
* Joy of Use, Emotional Design
* Future Technologies, e.g. Tangible User Interfaces
* Case studies and project experiences

Betreff: [WI] Reminder Deadline - Call for Papers - Electronic Markets,
Vol. 20, No 3
Datum: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 11:55:24 +0100

Dear colleagues,
Just a reminder for the upcoming Submission deadline for the call for
papers of Electronic Markets with a focus theme section on 'Pricing in
Electronic Markets and Networks'.
The submission deadline is December 11, 2009. The detailed CfP is copied
below.
Please do not hesitate to contact the editorial office
(editors(a)electronicmarkets.org <mailto:editors@electronicmarkets.org>)
should you have any queries.
With best regards,
Karen Heyden
Executive Editor

Call for Papers
for the Focus Theme Section on
'Pricing in Electronic Markets and Networks'
Guest Editors of this focus theme section:
* Andreas Herrmann (Univ. of St. Gallen, Switzerland),
* Martin Spann (Univ. of Passau, Germany),
* David Sprott (Washington State Univ., USA).
Electronic media have tremendously changed the opportunities and
challenges of pricing decisions. The interactive nature of ICT has
promoted the use of interactive pricing mechanisms where the price is
not solely posted by the seller but discovered through the interaction
between sellers and buyers. Such interactive pricing mechanisms are now
frequently used in B2B transactions (e.g., procurement auctions), the
selling of advertisements in search engines (e.g., search key auctions)
or in B2C and C2C transactions (e.g., eBay).
Further, the increased price transparency in electronic markets limits
seller’s ability to price discriminate. Shopbots allow consumers to
easily compare prices of different retailers and consumers can discuss
and exchange price and product information in shopping communities or
social networks. However, these numerous information sources may
overload consumers’ ability to adequately process this information and
hence make proper use of it in their decision making.
More pricing research is required to enhance our understanding of
optimal pricing decisions, pricing mechanism design and buyers reaction
to these pricing decisions in electronic markets and networks. This is
the goal of this focus theme section.
Potential topics and research questions that this focus theme section
would address include but are not limited to:
* Interactive and dynamic pricing
* Bidding behavior in auctions and auction design
* Pricing of electronic content and services
* Search engine marketing and entertainment shopping
* Effects of shopbots, recommender systems and social networks on
pricing decisions
* Consumer decision making / behavioral pricing
* Pricing under network externalities
Additional topic suggestions are welcome. All papers will be peer
reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets’ publication
standards. Methodological and theoretical pluralism (empirical or
theoretical work, qualitative research, design science, prototypes …) is
welcomed by the journal.
Full papers are invited to be submitted by 11. December 2009. All papers
must be original, not published or under review elsewhere. If you would
like to discuss any aspect of the focus theme section, please contact
the Editor for the focus theme section.
Contact addresses: andreas.herrmann(a)unisg.ch,
martin.spann(a)uni-passau.de, dsprott(a)wsu.edu or editors(a)electronicmarkets.org
