However, the social wellbeing as a pivotal pillar of healthiness besides physical and psychical health has not gained much attention yet. This workshop aims to address the area of social wellbeing of the elderly by means of focussing on social media, such as Social TV and social support online communities for elder people in their homes. By bringing together CSCW and social media researchers we wish to open up discussions on the development of new interaction and coordination spaces for wellbeing and social support which enhance the spaces of physical home environments. The workshop especially welcomes empirical studies and work which pay attention to concepts of spatiality and by this shed light on modes of perception, appropriation and use of spaces by elder persons for informing domestic media design. Contributions are welcomed on such topics as: - Ethnographic studies on elderly people at home. - Analysis and design of software fostering existing local communities and personal networks. - Analysis and design of online social support systems. - Design of software contributing to formulate virtual generational communities. - Design of (haptic) input/output devices in the context of social medial for the elderly. - Usage studies of home-based social media applications by elderly people. Important dates - 20th of June - Deadline for position papers - 6th of July - Notification of acceptance (early registration end 17th of July) - 7th-8th of September - Workshops days at ECSCW Submission details Position papers should contain a brief overview (max. 5000 words) over the key ideas of the presentation and some information on the occupational background of the submitter. Papers have to be sent as a .pdf or .doc file to ageing-workshopecscw(a)utt.fr After the workshop, the authors will have the optional possibility to send a long version of their position paper for a publication in a special issue.

The new multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-21) facilitate the seamless integration of multiple modalities into interoperable multimedia frameworks, transforming the way people work and interact with multimedia data. These key technologies and multimedia solutions interact and collaborate with each other in an ever effective way, bringing along the multimedia revolution. Traditional multimedia research, which largely lies in signal processing and data communication, is now facing challenges posed by the new research trends such as multimedia semantic computing, multi-modal interaction and cross-mining, cooperative processing, new multimedia standards, Quality of Service (QoS), multimedia security, and social issues, which are just a few examples of the major research areas. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in multimedia semantic computing to discuss the state of the art of the research on semantic-based multimedia systems, present theoretical frameworks and practical implementations, and identify challenges and open issues in multimedia semantic modeling and integration. Multimedia semantic computing can be defined as "Computing with (machine processable) Descriptions of Content and Intentions" of multimedia data and has been gaining attentions in various applications including pervasive multimedia computing systems, multimedia delivery over the network, personalized multimedia information retrieval systems which adapt to the user's needs, integration of semantic content and schema from distributed multimedia sources so that the user sees a unified view of heterogeneous data, clustering and classification of semantically-tied information in different multimedia modalities, security issues in multimedia/hypertext systems, etc. We invite researchers from various disciplines to submit original research contributions to this workshop. IEEE SCMS 2009 will be held in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/icsc/).

The traditional approach to reporting is no longer adequate, users now demand easy-to-use intelligent platforms and applications capable of analyzing real-time data to provide insight and actionable information at the right time. The end goal is to support better and timelier decision making, enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high quality information. Although there has been progress in this direction and many companies are introducing products towards meeting this goal, there is still a long way to go. In particular, the whole lifecycle of business intelligence requires new techniques and methodologies capable of dealing with the new requirements imposed by the new generation of BI applications. From the capturing of real-time business data to the transformation and delivery of actionable information, all the stages of the Business Intelligence (BI) cycle call for new algorithms and paradigms as the basis of new functionalities including dynamic integration of real-time data feeds from operational sources, optimization and evolution of ETL transformations and analytical models, and dynamic generation of adaptive real-time dashboards, just to name a few. The series of BIRTE workshops aims to provide a forum to discuss topics related to this emerging field and set research directions towards making business intelligence more real-time. Following the success of BIRTE 2006 held in Seoul, Korea in conjunction with VLDB 2006, and BIRTE 2008 held in Auckland, New Zealand in conjunction with VLDB 2008, submissions for research, industrial and position papers on relevant topics are encouraged. TOPICS OF INTEREST Models, Architectures and Technologies for Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Metadata management - Data quality and cleansing - BI over streaming data - Data capture in real-time - Performance and scalability - Real-time decision support - Tuning and management of the real-time data warehouse - Data warehouse evolution - ETL optimization - ETL for the real-time data warehouse - Data mining and data analysis in real-time - Real-time Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) - Real-time OLAP - Visualization Applications of Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Case studies - Pitfalls in applying BI tools to real-life problems - Lessons learned from large practical applications of real-time BI - Industrial experiences and challenges SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should follow the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details).The first page must contain an abstract, a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/industry paper).

The current usage of tags and asynchronous linking provides a means to reveal some basic structural elements within the vast �repositories of knowledge� and generally in the seemingly endless proliferation of data but ignores the needs of (basic) users with respect to differentiate expert knowledge from �data� (opinion, unverified reports, and other material disguised amateurish gossip and musings. Users wish to retrieve precise results on questions asked in imprecise natural languages, and to overcome any cultural or language barrier, or to extract additional information such as context, temporal relationships, concept interconnectedness, and alternative media documents representing like content. The next generation of the Web is called 3.0 and is supposed to be �intelligent� in that it emphasizes machine-facilitated understanding of information by incorporating, for example, semantic networks, machine learning, autonomous agents, artificial intelligence and distributed databases. Of especial importance is the �understanding� of content by applications, requiring agents to operate autonomously, and the provision of service oriented architectures where missing components are automatically searched for and integrated and provided via a natural interface to the user. One popular approach for progressing issues relating to concept �understanding� being used in recent times is ontology based. Ontologies are an explicit, formal specification of common conceptual classification schemes and generally describe a hierarchy of concepts using a subsumption relation. From a theoretic understanding, ontologies also describe semantic relations between concepts allowing the distinguishing of different objects with the same identifier (domain knowledge). Concepts represent the meaning behind �objects�, i.e. to understand and express similarity or differences among objects, provide a classification, and identify objects as belonging. Conceptual analysis is the examination and analysis of texts to identify and mark concepts for �understanding�, detecting the context, or scenario, and other forms of sophisticated information-rich structures. This track reviews the state-of-the-art theories and applications of conceptual analysis in the context of information Science. The importance of understanding the content rather than manipulating and managing the documents is increasing as the amount of data is not longer manageable by humans, especially considering influences by language, culture and required expert knowledge. Three scenarios with importance for Information Science are (1) plagiarism, (2) text mining, and (3) machine translation evaluation whereas all have in common that most implementations are still based on explicit word group comparison. That is, for plagiarism tuplets or triplets of words are searched in databases to find similarities, not handling translations, synonyms or rewriting of ideas. Conceptual Rubrics is an emerging topic that moves us beyond �string of text� comparisons. Conceptual analysis uses the concepts and compares these as well as its order/structure to find similarities in between documents, search requests or translated documents, whereas similarity is not given by grammar or vocabulary but understanding in a socio-cultural context. For plagiarism and machine translation evaluation, aligned terminologies databases can be used to match concepts in different languages and therefore settle these technologies on an international market. Possible themes for contributions: � Knowledge Representation � Terminology Databases / Alignment � Ontological models and systems � Ontology based analysis � Information Retrieval / Concept Retrieval � Text Mining � Evaluation of Machine Translation � Plagiarism Detection and Analysis � Scenario Building and Evaluation � Automated Essay Grading � Concept Searching, Analysis, and Evaluation � Concepts in a Socio-Cultural Context � Concept Rubrics � � Review process and submissions: Papers can be submitted in German or English and should fit to the style sheet of the MKWI 2010.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] BIMA 2009, Macau, Oct => IJSSOE special issue Datum: Thu, 4 Jun 2009 03:53:05 -0400 Von: Dickson K.W. Chiu <kwchiu(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk> Antwort an: Dickson K.W. Chiu <kwchiu(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Workshop on Business Intelligence Methodologies and Applications (BIMA'08) (October 22-24, 2008, Xi'an, China; held in conjunction with ICEBE 2008) Theme: On-Demand Business Intelligence and Beyond http://conferences.computer.org/icebe/2009/SOKMworkshop.htm Business intelligence (BI) is evolving: from the traditional data-and-analysis exercise for supporting management decisions to an integral part of business processes, providing analysis for a wide range of users across an organization. With the recent advent of web intelligence, service computing, and Web 2.0 technologies, on-demand intelligence is available. In the context of business processes and value chains, this enables more agile service and functionality customization to be provided to the various stakeholders involved. The fast development of social media is complementing this trend. It leads to on-line market intelligence (MI) empowered BI systems, which can be derived from the dynamics of users' opinions embedded in blogs or online communities. How MI and BI can readily be integrated in an accurate and reliable way, be turned into intellectual assets for an organization, and be properly utilized to result in competitive advantages is worth further attention. Furthermore, managing business processes across organizational boundaries poses its own set of challenges, ranging from collaboration to competition. Questions to address in the context of BI include for example: how should the collaborative notion of business intelligence be defined identified and explored in such cross-organizational scenarios; what kind of tools can be used; what kind of new business value can be created; as well as how the newly emerging risks be managed respectively controlled? This workshop provides a forum for academic researchers, BI solution developers, business analyst, and corporate management to present their latest findings on BI Methodologies and Applications. The paper acceptance will hence be based on the relevancy, originality, elegancy, technical correctness, evaluation completeness and clarity. We will put more weighting on the first two evaluation criteria in order to encourage more innovative ideas and works. Topics include (but not limited to): Fundamental issues on BI: Data cleaning, pre-processing, extraction and reporting OLAP and data warehousing Database enabled data mining Decision analysis and causal modelling BI cycle, model specification/selection/estimation Knowledge discovery from unstructured/semi-structured information Supply chain integration through data warehousing Data warehouse architecture Contemporary BI challenges: Platforms for on-demand and mobile BI BI solutions for small-to-medium enterprises (e.g., SaaS) Semantic Web and ontology-based methods for BI Online trust and reputation management Online customer behaviour analysis Collaborative notion of intelligence and BI Market/collective intelligence from social media Social and collaborative BI tools Consumer and business communities empowered BI Organizational BI and collaborative business Adoption and diffusion of radically new BI methods and applications in organizations BI in virtual communities and virtual organizations Intangible versus tangible assets for organizational BI Intellectual asset management and knowledge sharing in BI Digital business ecosystems and BI Risk management within BI Business process management within BI Papers must be submitted electronically. The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings, limited to 6 pages. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the ICEBE 2008 by the IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings.

Chiu <kwchiu(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The 3nd International Workshop on Service-Oriented Knowledge Management (SOKM'09) (October 21-23, 2009, Macau, China, in conjunction with ICEBE 2009) http://conferences.computer.org/icebe/2009/SOKMworkshop.htm IMPORTANT DATES Abstract registration deadline: 14 June, 2009 Paper submission: 21 June 2009 Notification of acceptance: 12 July 2009 Camera-ready paper submission: 25 July 2009 Author registration: 25 July 2009 Early bird registration: 20 September 2009 Knowledge management (KM) has been proven to be a key to service excellence and success in traditional service industries. The global economy and enterprises are evolving to become service-oriented, and many new e-services are emerging. To address the growing complexity of the service sector at the age of Information and Communication, traditional KM research and practices have to be extended and adapted, particularly aiming at effective learning, application, and management of new knowledge. On the other hand, the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides new opportunities and challenges for knowledge and learning processes, such as integration and outsourcing. Today the creation, operation, and evolution of such research and practice raise concerns that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling through to the deployment of specific implementation technologies and paradigms, and involve a wide (and ever-growing) range of methodologies, tools, and technologies. They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry segments, government and public services, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time applications for extended enterprises and virtual communities. This workshop intentionally seeks scientists, engineers, educators, industry people, policy makers, decision makers, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in Service Oriented Knowledge Management. This event also aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research across disciplines, cultures, and communities. Topics include but not limited to: Principles, theories, and challenges of SOKM Strategies, modeling, and requirements engineering for SOKM Architectures, implementations, and deployment of SOKM Cultural and economic issues in SOKM Knowledge and learning for emerging services and service innovations Inter- and Intra enterprise knowledge integration and engineering Knowledge / learning processes and service outsourcing Knowledge-based decision models and decision support systems for service provision Web services and semantic support for knowledge and learning Agent based technologies and logic for service knowledge and learning Virtual organizations and communities for service knowledge and learning Trust, reputation, security, and privacy in service knowledge and learning Service marketing, data mining, and relationship management Machine learning and cybernetics for service provision and management Automatic and semi-automatic services contract generation and management Papers must be submitted electronically via the SOKM09 Paper Submission Site (https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=sokm09).
