[Fwd: [WI] STEG'09: CfP Second International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games]
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] STEG'09: CfP Second International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games Datum: Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:10:21 +0200 Von: Anna Hannemann <glukhova(a)i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Second International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games (STEG'09) http://www.prolearn-academy.org/Events/steg09 CALL FOR PAPERS The Second Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Gaming (STEG'09) will be held in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Web-based Learning (ICWL'09, http://www.hkws.org/events/icwl2009/), Aachen, Germany, August 19-21, 2009. CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION The Second Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Gaming (STEG'09) will be a continuative event to bring together international researchers from the story-telling and educational gaming research areas, based on the success of the First STEG Workshop (STEG'08). STEG'08 was held as a one-day event triggering fruitful discussions and reporting advanced research progress in this area. More information about STEG'08 can be found at http://www.prolearn-academy.org/Events/steg08. The paper winning the "best paper award" will be published in the International Journal on Technology Enhanced Learning (IJTEL). STEG'09 aims to reinforce the international community and to explore advanced research in this research domain.. Stories and story-telling are cultural achievements of significant relevance even in modern times. Nowadays, story-telling is being enhanced with the convergence of sociology, pedagogy, and technology. In recent years, computer gaming has also been deployed for educational purposes and has proved to be an effective approach to mental stimulation and intelligence development. Many conceptual similarities and some procedural correlation exist between story-telling and educational gaming. Therefore these two areas can be clubbed for research on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). Many facets of story-telling and educational gaming emulate real life processes, which can be represented either as complex story graphs or as interleaved sub-problems. This model is congruent with that used for Technology Enhanced Learning in vocational training. TEL in vocational training requires learning models that focus more on the process and less on the content. The main difference between educational games and story-telling lies in the user's motivational point of view. Story-telling aims at reliving real life tasks and capturing previous experiences in problem-solving for reuse, while educational games reproduce real life tasks in a virtual world in an (ideally) engaging and attractive process. Nevertheless, educational games require highly specialized technical and pedagogical skills and learning processes to cover the topics in sufficient depth and breadth. Imbalance between depth and breadth of study can lead to producing trivial games, which in turn can lead to de-motivating the learner. While the integration of learning and gaming provides a great opportunity, several motivational challenges (particularly in vocational training) must also be addressed to ensure successful realization. Non-linear digital stories are an ideal starting point for the creation of educational games, since each story addresses a certain problem, so that the story recipient can gain benefit from other users’ experiences. This leads to the development of more realistic stories, which can provide the kernel for developing non-trivial educational videogames as a further step. These stories can cover the instructional portion of an educational game, while the game would add the motivation and engagement part. In summary, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers, experts and practitioners from the domains of non-linear digital interactive story-telling and educational gaming to share ideas and knowledge. There is a great amount of separate research in these two fields and the celebration of this workshop will allow the participants to discover and leverage potential synergies. Workshop topics - Story-telling and game theories - Story and game design paradigms for Web-based Learning - Augmented story-telling and gaming - Story-telling and educational gaming with social software - Story-telling and educational gaming with mobile technologies - Cross-media/transmedia story-telling and gaming - Computer gaming for story-telling (Game design for narrative architectures) - Multimedia story and game authoring - Story-telling and educational gaming applications SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research as full papers (max. 10 pages) or work-in-progress as short papers (max. 5 pages). All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by three members of the program committee for originality, significance, clarity and quality. Accepted papers will be published online in the ICWL workshop proceedings as part of the CEUR Workshop proceedings series. CEUR-WS.org is a recognized ISSN publication series, ISSN 1613-0073.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: I-USED 2009 Datum: Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:09:57 +0200 Von: Silvia Abrahão <sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es> Antwort an: Silvia Abrahão <sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Workshop on the Interplay between Usability Evaluation and Software Development (I-USED 2009), Uppsala, Sweden, August 24th, 2009. http://www.dsic.upv.es/workshops/i-used09 In conjunction with the 12th IFIP TC13 Conference in Human-Computer Interaction (INTERACT 2009) Upssala, Sweden, August 26-28, 2009. MOTIVATION Software development is highly challenging. Despite many significant successes, several software development projects fail completely or produce software with serious limitations, including (1) lack of usefulness, i.e. the system does not adequately support the core tasks of the user, (2) unsuitable designs of user interactions and interfaces, (3) lack of productivity gains or even reduced productivity despite heavy investments in information. Broadly speaking, two approaches have been taken to address these limitations. The first approach is to employ evaluation activities in a software development project in order to determine and improve the usability of the software, i.e. the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which users achieve their goals. To help software developers work with usability within this approach, more than 20 years of research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has created and compared techniques for evaluating usability. The second approach is based on the significant advances in techniques and methodologies for user interface design that have been achieved in the last decades. In particular, researchers in user interface design have worked on improving the usefulness of information technology by focusing on a deeper understanding on how to extract and understand user needs. Their results today constitute the areas of participatory design and user-centered design. However, the Software Engineering (SE) community has recognized that usability does not only affect the design of user interfaces but the software system development as a whole. In particular, efforts are focused on explaining the implications of usability for requirements gathering, software architecture design, and the selection of software components. The interplay between these two fields, and between the activities they advocate to be undertaken in software development, have been limited. Integrating usability evaluation at relevant points in software development (and in particular to the user interface design) with successful and to-the-point results has proved difficult. In addition, research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Software Engineering (SE) has been done mainly independently of each other with no in substantial exchange of results and sparse efforts to combine the techniques of the two approaches. THEME AND GOALS The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the HCI and SE fields to determine the state-of-the-art in the interplay between usability evaluation and software development and to generate ideas for new and improved relations between these activities. The aim is to base the determination of the current state on empirical studies. Presentations of new ideas on how to improve the interplay between HCI & SE to the design of usable software systems should also be based on empirical studies. Within this focus, topics of discussion include, but are not limited to: - Which artifacts of software development are useful as the basis for usability evaluations? - How do the specific artifacts obtained during software development influence the techniques that are relevant for the usability evaluation? - In which forms are the results of usability evaluations supplied back into software development (including the UI design)? - What are the characteristics of usability evaluation results that are needed in software development? - Do existing usability evaluation methods deliver the results that are needed in user interface design? - How can usability evaluation be integrated more directly in user interface design? - How can usability evaluation methods be applied in emerging techniques for user interface design? - How can usability evaluation methods be integrated to novel approaches for software development (e.g., model-driven development, agile development). PARTICIPANTS Participants are accepted on the basis of their submitted papers. We aim at 15 with a maximum of 20 participants. The intended audience is primarily software engineering and human-computer interaction researchers who are working with the theme. The workshop should also be relevant for practitioners who have experiences with and ideas for improving the interplay between HCI and SE. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: 25th April 2009 Acceptance Notification: 20th June 2009 Camera-ready Deadline: 15th July 2009 Workshop: 24th August 2009 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Authors of papers must submit their papers by APRIL 25. Papers should be submitted in PDF-format to the workshop reviewing system at (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iused2009). Participants will be notified before June 20 and subsequently the papers will be made available to the workshop participants. Papers must describe empirical studies of the interplay between usability evaluation and software development. Two types of submissions are solicited: full papers with up to 6 pages describing substantial, completed work, and position papers with 2 pages describing either results that can be concisely reported or work in progress. Submissions must be clearly marked as one of these two types. Both types of papers should be formatted according to the ACM template for proceedings available at (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). All papers will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee with regard to the relevance and originality of the work and their ability to generate discussions among the participants of the workshop. The workshop proceedings will be published on-line as part of the CEUR Workshop proceedings series. ACTIVITY PLANNED AND OUTCOMES Tentatively, the Workshop-programme (full day) is as follows: - Introduction to workshop. - A keynote speech by a recognized researcher in the field. - Presentation of selected papers followed by limited discussion. - The organization of the workshop participants around thematic groups. - Reports from the groups and plenary discussion of main issues. - Discussion of how to continue the work. The outcome of the workshop is a collection of papers as well as a presentation and discussion of the validity and significance of these papers.

Facca, University of Innsbruck, Austria Nikolaos Loutas, Center for Research and Technology Hellas, and University of Macedonia, Greece Vassilios Peristeras, National University of Ireland, Ireland Sotirios K. Goudos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Konstantinos Tarabanis, University of Macedonia, Greece Interoperability is one of the most challenging problems in modern cross-organizational information systems. Interoperability becomes very important for e-Government information systems that support cross-organizational communication especially in a cross-border setting. The main goal of this article is to seamlessly provide integrated services to the user (citizen). In this paper, the authors focus on Pan-European e-services and issues related with their integration. Our analysis uses basic concepts of the generic public service model, governance enterprise architecture (GEA), and Web service modeling ontology (WSMO) to express the semantic description of e-services. The authors present a mediation infrastructure capable of resolving semantic interoperability conflicts at a Pan-European level and provide several examples to illustrate both the need to solve such semantic conflicts and the actual solutions.

The lexical dictionary has been usefully applied to various fields for semantic information processing; however, it has limitations, in which it only processes terms defined in the dictionary. Under this circumstance, the concept of �unknown word (UW)� is defined. UW is considered a word not defined in WordNet. A new method to construct UW lexical dictionary through inputting various document collections scattered on the Web is proposed. The authors grasp related terms of UW and measure semantic relatedness (similarity) between an UW and a related term(s). This research can extend UW lexical dictionary with an abundant number of UW.

Traditional word sense disambiguation (WSD) methods use statistic models or ontology-based knowledge models to find the most appropriate sense for the ambiguous word. Since queries are usually short, the contexts of the queries may not always provide enough information for disambiguating queries. Thus, more than one interpretation may be found for one ambiguous query. In this paper, the authors propose a cluster-based WSD method, which finds all appropriate interpretations for the query. Because some senses of one ambiguous word usually have very close semantic relations, the authors group those similar senses together for explaining the ambiguous word in one interpretation.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2009) Datum: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 10:42:37 -0400 Von: Youakim Badr <youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr> Antwort an: Youakim Badr <youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2009) Technically sponsored by both ACM SIGAPP and ACM SIGAPP.fr Chapter Technically sponsored by IEEE SMCS (pending) with the cooperation of IFIP WG 2.6 http://sigappfr.acm.org/medes October 27-30, 2009 Lyon - France Description and Objectives --------------------------- In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its �digital components�, in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (EDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations, and tutorials and workshops.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP - WISE '09 Workshop: Confidentiality and Trust management in the Social Web (CTSW'09) Datum: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 05:14:13 -0400 Von: Talel Abdessalem <Talel.Abdessalem(a)telecom-paristech.fr> Antwort an: Talel Abdessalem <Talel.Abdessalem(a)telecom-paristech.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Workshop on Confidentiality and Trust management in the Social Web (CTSW'09) http://wise2009.ue.poznan.pl/workshop_CTSW.php October 5-7, 2009, Poznan, Poland Co-located with the 10th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering (WISE 2009) http://wise2009.ue.poznan.pl/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Confidentiality and trust management is a critical problem in large communities for sharing data on the Internet. This is a fundamental issue in many applications such as social tagging platforms (e.g., flickr, del.icio.us), collaborative management of documents (Wikipedia, free software communities), auction platforms (e.g., e-bay) and more generally in what we call social software. Many challenges are raised by the management of confidentiality in open communities and this workshop aims to gather contributions on both theoretical and practical aspects of the problem. More specifically, the workshop objective is to advance on the following points: (1) better understand what justifies the use of trust models, how trust is constructed dynamically between the members of a community, and the limits of such approaches; (2) the development of confidentiality models based on trust, in particular, these models have to enable sharing data between anonymous users and ensure confidentiality (data access control, guarantee of anonymity) and data integrity (constraints on the evolution of users own data); (3) the sharing of results and experimental studies on confidentiality models and tools. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the management of confidentiality in large communities of information sharing (social web sites, social networks, etc.), and to act as a platform for discussing experiences and visions about open communities, trust and confidentiality management. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): --------------------------------------------------- � Trust and reputation models � Reputation computation engines � Trust propagation and measurement � Access control in open communities � Confidentiality models based on trust � Data sharing between anonymous users � Anonymity preservation � Privacy preservation � Data integrity and update constraints � Experimental studies and commercial systems Workshop key dates ------------------ Paper Submission May 1, 2009 Author Notification June 15, 2009 Camera-ready Papers June 28, 2009 Author registration June 28, 2009 Workshop October 5-7, 2009 Publication ----------- The proceedings of WISE 2009 workshops will be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper length is 8 pages. Paper submission ---------------- Papers should be prepared according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0), have a maximum of 8 pages, and must be in the PDF format. Sumissions will be evaluated according to their originality, their relevance to the workshop topics, and their ability to generate discussions between the workshop participants.
