-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Final Call for Papers: NDT 2009 - Technically co-sponsored by IEEE COMSOC Datum: Wed, 6 May 2009 14:56:30 -0400 Von: Saba Saras <bamasaba(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Saba Saras <bamasaba(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers First International Conference on 'Networked Digital Technologies'(NDT 2009) (Technical co-sponsors - COMSOC of IEEE) Ostrava, Czech Republic, July 28-31, 2009 The proceedings will be indexed in IEEE Xplore http://arg.vsb.cz/ndt2009/Default.aspx The proposed conference on the above theme will be be held at the VSB-Technical University, Ostrava, Czech Republic from July 28 to July 31 2009 which aims to enable researchers build connections between different digital applications. Currently a number of institutions across the countries are working to evolve better models to provide collaborative technology services for scholarship by creating shared cyberspace thro expert collaboration, but this is a challenge for the institutions for a number of reasons. In the last few years, the landscape of digital technology applications projects for the various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences appears induced by many initiatives. For the creation of research clusters, the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary, and directed in piecemeal fashion. There is a need to provide concerted efforts in building federated digital technologies that will enable the formation of network of digital technologies. Topics include but not limited to: Information and Data Management Data and Network mining Intelligent agent-based systems, cognitive and reactive distributed AI systems Internet Modeling User Interfaces, Visualization and modeling XML-based languages Security and Access Control Trust models for social networks Information Content Security Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Network Management Web Services Architecture, Modeling and Design New architectures for web-based social networks Semantic Web, Ontologies (creation , merging, linking and reconciliation) Web Services Security Quality of Service, Scalability and Performance Self-Organizing Networks and Networked Systems Data management in mobile peer-to-peer networks Data stream processing in mobile/sensor networks Indexing and query processing for moving objects User interfaces and usability issues form mobile applications Mobile social networks Peer-to-peer social networks Sensor networks and social sensing Social search Social networking inspired collaborative computing Information propagation on social networks Resource and knowledge discovery using social networks Measurement studies of actual social networks Simulation models for social networks LOCATION NDT 2009 will be organized by VSB-Technical University, Ostrava, Czech Republic, in cooperation with the Digital Information Research Foundation (DIRF) located in India. NDT is technically co-sponsored by the Communications Society of IEEE. All the activities of the conference will take place in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Dazu zählen elektronische Wahlen, kommunale Webportale, Bürgerportale, Stadt- Wikis, eCampainging, medienübergreifende Bürgerhaushalte, computer- unterstützte Öffentlichkeitsbeteiligung in der Planung, politische Chatbots, Online Deliberation, ePetition etc. Transparenz, öffentlicher Diskurs, Partizipation, Deliberation aber auch Kosteneffizienz sind einige der Vorteile, die diese neuen Formate mit sich bringen. Elektronische Wahlen sind dabei ein Thema unter anderen, gerade sie rücken immer mehr in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Obwohl der Einsatz von Wahlgeräten seit mehreren Jahren in Deutschland gesetzlich geregelt ist und diese Geräte bereits bei vielen Wahlen eingesetzt wurden, geraten sie in letzter Zeit vermehrt in die Kritik. Dennoch wurden in den letzten Jahren viele Erfahrungen insbesondere im Bereich der Online-Wahlen gewonnen. Eine Reihe internationaler Projekte (Österreich, Schweiz, Estland, ganz aktuell gerade die International Association for Cryptologic Research) und Initiativen (Europarat) entwickeln Anforderungen und sammeln Erfahrungen mit Lösungen. Dafür ist eine kritische wissenschaftliche Begleitung sinnvoll. Diese Dienste, Formate und Systeme, nicht nur im Bereich elektronischer Wahlen, entwickeln sich zu einer neuen sozio- technischen Beteiligungsinfrastruktur demokratischer Gesellschaften, einer „Societyware“. Sie zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie für alle Individuen und Gruppen einer Gesellschaft relevant werden können, und damit – dem demokratischen Grundverständnis folgend – durch diese auch verstehbar, benutzbar und gestaltbar sein sollten. Technische Komplexität, Macht- und Marktstrukturen in der IT-Gestaltung stellen diesen Anspruch vor große Herausforderungen. In diesem Workshop geht es darum, entsprechende Erfahrungen mit neuen technologischen Entwicklungen und dem praktischen Einsatz solcher Systeme zusammenzutragen. Uns interessieren Beiträge über: * Erfahrungsberichte * Anforderungen (technische, politische organisatorische, soziale) * Probleme beim Einsatz und der Nutzung * Betriebswirtschaftliche Aspekte * Sicherheitsaspekte * Technische Konzepte * Akzeptanz, Usablility und demokratische Gestaltung Teilnehmer des Workshops Der Workshop spricht Wissenschaft und Praxis an. Er richtet sich an Wissenschaftler (Doktoranden, young and senior researchers) aus Informatik, Politik-, Gesellschafts- und Rechtswissenschaften, an Verantwortliche aus Politik und Verwaltung, Aktivisten einer Civil Society und an IT-Firmen, die sich mit dem Einsatz von IuKT in der Praxis beschäftigen. Regeln und Termine zur Einreichung Die Beiträge sollten sechs Seiten nicht überschreiten. Angenommene Beiträge werden in den Tagungsbänden publiziert. Ausgewählte Beiträge werden für eine Buchpublikation berücksichtigt. Die Beiträge werden an die E-Mail-Adresse der Ansprechpartner gesendet oder direkt nach http://www.informatik2009.de/einreichung.html hochgeladen.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP HICSS 2010 Minitrack "Context-aware Computing and Collaboration" Datum: Tue, 5 May 2009 15:16:46 +0200 Von: Volkmar Pipek <volkmar.pipek(a)uni-siegen.de> An: Mailingliste Wirtschaftsinformatik GI-FB 5 <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Referenzen: <F47BAF84-032A-422B-BAF1-24E14EECEF6D(a)uni-siegen.de> **************************************************************** HICSS-43 Call for papers for the minitrack on: "CONTEXT-AWARE COMPUTING AND COLLABORATION" Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track of the Forty-Third Annual Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) Kauai, HI - January 5 - 8, 2010 Submission deadline: June 15, 2009 (abstract appreciated by May 15) **************************************************************** http://hicss43.wineme.fb5.uni-siegen.de/index.php We invite submissions for the minitrack on "Context-aware Computing and Collaboration" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS). Context-aware computing refers to computing systems that adapt their behavior based on context information of the users, the environment and the system itself. Context-aware systems often have emerged from research settings to products and use practice. The systems support user interaction, coordination and collaboration in professional and domestic settings. Complementing research on the technological feasibility of context-aware systems, questions regarding the manageability and transparency of context-based services from a user perspective come to the fore. In particular, ubiquitous computing applications help bridge between virtual and real-world context dimensions (both, concerning virtual and real context sensors and virtual and real context factors). The resulting systems often remain opaque to users, and their workings and reactions are difficult to interpret and use based on traditional computer usage experience. This minitrack aims to contribute, on the one hand, to the collection of use-oriented problems in context-based collaboration. Furthermore, we aim to discuss resulting implications regarding the technical design of interfaces as well as software and hardware architectures. Special attention is given to context modeling and implementation of the various collaborative scenarios as well as to the associated possibilities of manual (adaptability) or automatic (adaptivity) in-use-adjustment. A further special area of interest within a user-oriented perspective is the understanding of problem dynamics in scenarios with multiple-context systems and technologies, and problem dynamics of emergence or evolution of context-based systems, particularly as they relate to collaboration. We would like to invite contributions of researchers and practitioners on (but not limited to) the following questions: - What practical experiences ñ positive as well as negative ñ have been made with regard to the usage of context-aware computing and collaboration in real organizational settings? What experiences have been made with adaptation mechanisms (automatic as well as interactive) of such systems in these settings? - How can relations between context descriptions/models, context sensors and context-based services for context-aware collaboration be described in a way that they can be inform end users? What challenges have to be met with regard to visualization and manipulation interfaces? - What experiences have been collected with ontologies and folksonomies in use? When do we need standardized, defined ontologies, and when can we use folksonomies providing rich context descriptions? How do systems have to be designed to support the adaptation of context descriptions over their lifecycle? - What are suitable models for context management? How can context concepts be retrieved and represented? - How can context architectures be effectively designed for sustainable usages (context evolution, context adaptation, traceability for end-users) in collaborative settings? - What do appropriate architectures for the realization of context-adaptive collaboration systems that remain modifiable in-use look like? What services have to be provided by such a context-adaptive collaboration system? What interfaces are needed for a context-dependent adaptation of the system behavior? We are looking for contributions on those topics in relation to research as well as practice. Thus, contributions are welcome that contain original ideas on context modeling, analysis, design and evaluation for collaboration processes and systems. There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, or developmental in nature. Themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome): - Context-based Information Retrieval - Location-based Services - Mixed-Media Environments - Tagging Systems, other Semantic Web Applications - Mobility Services - Knowledge Management and Knowledge Media Creation - Community Applications - Collaborative Virtual Environments Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for a possible Special Issue of the Journal on Personal and Ubiquitous Computing and/ or a book publication.
