-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IEEE DEST 2010 - Special Track Learning Ecosystems: 2nd Call for Participation Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 10:42:38 +0100 Von: Mohammad Smadi <msmadi(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at> An: Mohammad Smadi <msmadi(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at> 21st century society makes demands in virtually every facet of one's life. One is expected to keep pace with mutable situations, adapt skills and expertise, and collaborate and compete to provide to some extent value for the society. As a result, modern instructional design, learning goals and processes as well as appropriate learning environments must support the development of skills and expertises. Consequently, educational approaches have changed dramatically over time from remedial repetitive learning to today's learning with an understanding to become more independent in the learning process, strengthen meta-cognitive and teamwork skills as well as link knowledge in a cultural context in view of lifelong learning. Educational approaches have also been influenced by technology but have also increasingly applied technology over the last decades. This complexity of modern learning setups of the 21st century demands appropriate models and reference architectures which provide support to (a) communicate the conception of topical learning from different viewpoints, (b) identify the multidisciplinary relations of research areas, (c) assess and classify learning approaches and implementations, and (d) provide domain knowledge for research and development activities. However, such modern learning settings also require flexible approaches and technological solutions. E-Learning Ecosystems can provide both: it offers the foundation for interesting models and frameworks but it also focuses on modern technology as the infrastructure for enhanced e-learning environments. Topics --------- Based on the concept of ecosystem and digital business ecosystem, this track welcomes original and quality contributions in areas including but not limited to: . Models and framework for topical learning . Flexible and distributed learning environments . Learning and training in virtual organizations . Knowledge management in educational organizations .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: 3rd IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing (U-Media 2010) Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 10:06:14 +0100 Von: Dr. Ralf Klamma <klamma(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Organisation: Lehrstuhl Informatik 5 - RWTH Aachen An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing (U-Media 2010) http://conference.cs.cityu.edu.hk/umedia2010/ July 5-6, 2010 Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, China Dynamicity in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal suite of events populated by computing devices arrivals and departures, communication channels uses, and multimodal interactions. Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer interaction. It has become a de facto style of facilitating social events, in which participants use several distributed devices opportunistically through multimodal adaptive interaction. How people access multimodal media in different contexts of use is key to deliver the appropriate interactive systems to humans. Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, explores challenging issues on how to bring together technologies for context adaptation, inter-device interaction, and media/data communication for the well-being of humans. The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE (EI indexed), with best papers to be recommended for publication in special issues of international journals including the World Wide Web (SCI-E) and a couple of other SCI indexed ones. Topics of interests are divided based on four levels: Ubi-media Infrastructure * Heterogeneous Ubi-media Infrastructure * Ubiquitous Sensor Networks / RFID * New Ubi-media Devices * Multimedia Embedded Systems * Ubi-media Storage and Indexing * 3G and Advanced Communication Techniques * Cross-Network Communication Techniques Ubi-media Middleware * Context-Aware Multimedia * Cross-Network Media Server * Computational Intelligences in Ubi-media * Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid * Ubi-media Content Protection and Security * Privacy and Security in Ubiquitous Environments Ubi-media Human-Computer Interaction * Plasticity of User Interfaces * Dynamic composition of User Interfaces * Multimodal interaction * Social networks Ubi-media Applications * Ubi-media for Education * Ubi-media for Commerce * Ubi-media for Games * Ubi-media for Health Care * Ubi-media for Smart Home * Ubi-media for Citizens and E-Government Paper Submission: Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Fwd: [WI] Deadline Extension: CIAO! 2010 workshop to be held in conjunction with the DESRIST conference
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Deadline Extension: CIAO! 2010 workshop to be held in conjunction with the DESRIST conference Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:41:41 +0100 Von: Antonia Albani <antonia.albani(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> An: semantic-web(a)w3.org, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org, dbta(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch, pakm(a)dke.univie.ac.at, editor(a)kdnuggets.com, SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE(a)ACM.ORG, 2k(a)cs.uiuc.edu, reflective-middleware(a)cs.uiuc.edu, arp(a)cines.fr, cobcom(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de, siksleden(a)cs.uu.nl, "Wirtschaftsinformatik.de" <haeberle(a)wiwi.uni-marburg.de>, w3c-announce(a)w3.org, agents(a)cs.umbc.edu, collab(a)sims.berkeley.edu, owner-aksoftarch(a)listserv.uni-oldenburg.de, it-announce(a)cs.usyd.edu.au, ifip113(a)sansone.crema.unimi.it, cfp(a)pubopp.com =================================================================== 6th International Workshop on Cooperation& Interoperability - Architecture& Ontology (CIAO! 2010) http://www.ciaonetwork.org/index.php?id=61 04 - 05 June 2010 St. Gallen, Switzerland To be held in conjunction with the DESRIST 2010 conference http://desrist2010.iwi.unisg.ch/ Proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) =================================================================== Motivation ---------- Modern enterprises face a strong economical pressure to increase competitiveness, to operate on a global market, and to engage in alliances of several kinds. Agility thus has become the new guiding principle for enterprises. This requires flexible organizational structures and business processes, as well as flexible supporting information systems and a flexible ICT-infrastructure. In addition, an enterprise needs to be able to easily expand or shrink, be it through cooperation with other enterprises, through mergers or acquisitions, or through insourcing or outsourcing of services. In order to meet these economical requirements, enterprises rely increasingly on the benefits of modern information and communication technology (ICT). However, the appropriate knowledge to deploy this technology as needed, and in an effective and efficient way, is largely lacking, particularly knowledge regarding the cooperation in and between enterprises and knowledge regarding the interoperability of their information systems. Focus and Goal -------------- The CIAO! workshop is a leading workshop in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering, which is based on the notions of Enterprise Ontology and Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Ontology is conceptually defined as (the understanding of) the essence of an enterprise. Operationally, it is its highest-level constructional model, completely independent of the way in which it is implemented. Enterprise Architecture is conceptually defined as the normative restriction of design freedom. Operationally, it is the set of design principles that are applicable to the (re)design of the enterprise's business processes, organization, information systems, etc. The goal of the workshop is to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about these issues, in particular about the application of the notions of architecture and ontology in dealing with inter- and intra-organizational business processes and the interoperability of supporting information systems. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes * Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes * Cooperation theories (e.g., the language-action-perspective) * Domain reference ontologies * Enterprise ontologies * Enterprise architectures * Business rules * Information system ontologies * Information system architectures * Component-based system development * Ontology-based web services * Interoperability testing and verification * Service Oriented Architecture Organization of the Workshop ---------------------------- The CIAO! 2010 workshop is the 6th workshop of a series of successful workshops. (CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at the CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences so far. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our inspiring experience of the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009 workshops, the CIAO! 2010 workshop is planned again to be a real workshop, providing ample time for discussions and group works, during two days. Consequently, the paper presentations will be short, covering only the highlights. In addition, the focus of discussion will be on CIAO: the problem areas Cooperation and Interoperability, and the application of Architecture and Ontology in dealing with them. Submission Conditions --------------------- Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at Springer LNBIP Web page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.

Fwd: [AISWorld] LAST CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] LAST CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:45:28 -0300 Von: Sandra Gonzalez Cisaro <sagonci(a)exa.unicen.edu.ar> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. Please send to interested colleagues. Thanks! ****LAST CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS**** *Proposal Submission Deadline: FEBRUARY 1st, 2010* *Ontologies-Driven Web Mining: Concepts and Techniques* A book edited by Hector Oscar Nigro and Sandra Elizabeth Gonzalez Cisaro Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=732 * Introduction* Semantic Web mining aims to combine the development of two research areas, namely Semantic Web and Web mining. Web mining extracts information from the content of the pages, its structure of relationships (links), and the users’ browsing records. Both areas are collaborating in different ways: a) Mining Web techniques can help create a Semantic Web. A very important portion of Semantic Web is the ontologies. The ontology is represented as a set of concepts and their relevant interrelations for certain domains of knowledge. The challenge is to learn ontologies and/or their concepts, in order to make a scalable solution for a wide range of Semantic Web technologies. b) Knowledge in the form of ontologies, or other forms of representation of knowledge, can be used to improve the process and the results of mining Web. Knowledge provided by the ontology is useful in defining the structure and the scope for Web content mining. In the interaction between ontologies and Web mining, we can mention the following applications: * Sentiment analysis, also called opinion mining, is responsible for classifying words, texts or documents of opinion, and emotions or feelings that express agreement. It works in tagging texts and their components, which indicate if the expression is positive, negative, or neutral, and in the field of the subjectivity of texts, as well. The area is called affective computing, that is, the development of means to enable machines to detect and to respond in an appropriate manner to the emotions of users. * Optimization in search engines is criteria that must be taken into account in order to plan a campaign of positioning a Web page, its life cycle, and a selection of tools to help analyze the positioning of a site, as well as give keys to improve it. The study of the various basic attributes of an individual Web resource is not sufficient to infer the different strategies of positioning of a search engine. The fundamental problem is that the relationship between the different elements of the page and weight that each one brings to the final positioning. The application of various techniques of inductive learning can be a starting point for the optimization of the Web positioning. * Web intelligence (WI) is a research paradigm aimed at exploration of the fundamental interactions between artificial intelligence (AI), advanced engineering, and advanced information technology (AIT). Engineering, here, is a general term referring to, (a) a new area, for example, informatics of the brain, IA human level, intelligent agents, and intelligence social networks; (b) classics, such as engineering knowledge, representation, planning, discovery, and data extraction. The ontologies will give semantic richness to Web mining process, thus they will facilitate the understanding of the results obtained and the whole process performance. *Objective of the Book* This book aims at publishing original academic or industrial work in the form of high quality, scientific papers. The key objective is to provide Web mining students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers an integral vision of the topic, specifically focusing on those areas that explore new methodologies or examine real study case—all of them ontologies-based. This publication should describe the state-of-the-art, innovative theoretical supports, advanced and successful implementations, as well as the latest empirical research findings in the area of ontologies-driven Web mining. * Target Audience* The target audience of this book will be composed of readers who wish to learn how to apply ontologies-driven Web mining to real world problems. The purpose is to show users how to go from theory and algorithms to real applications. The book will present to students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers basic notions in data mining or Web mining. Information technology researchers and practitioners can increase their knowledge and skills with these new techniques. This book can be used as a library reference, upper-level course supplement, or for postgraduate courses. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Theoretic foundations on Web mining ontologies-based approach * Ontologies in Web mining process * Ontology-based interpretation and validation of mined knowledge * Intelligent assistants for Web mining with ontologies * Interaction from ontologies to Web mining * Knowledge grids and Web mining ontology * Ontology-based optimization in search engines * Opinion mining with ontologies * Real study cases, implementing Web mining based on ontologies *Submission Procedure* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before FEBRUARY 1st, 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 15, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by March 14, 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. *Publisher* This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference,” “Business Science Reference,” and “Engineering Science Reference” imprints.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP Green IS Minitrack AMCIS2010

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP Green IS Minitrack AMCIS2010 Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:04:56 +1100 Von: Helen Hasan <hasan(a)uow.edu.au> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2010) August 12 - 15, 2010 in Lima, Peru. Track: *Organizational Issues in IS * Minitrack: *Sustainability, Information Systems and Technology:* *Emerging Opportunities for Information Systems to improve sustainability within organizations* Download at http://greensig.atspace.org/AMCIS2010-Mini-TrackCFP.pdf Description: The continuous growth of the World population and the increasing demand for higher living standards has lead to the exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of the environment on an unprecedented scale. Shareholders, regulatory bodies, customers and employees are increasingly demanding firms to adopt a systematic approach to the sustainable management of increasingly scarce resources while at the same time reducing their impact on the environment. Environmental management is more than ever an imperative in industrial domains such as manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, forestry and IS & IT, which has become pervasive throughout entire organizational functions and processes. In the emerging fields of Green IS and Green IT, a figure of 2 percent is often quoted as the percentage of environmentally harmful emissions attributed to the use of IT and the IT industry. The term 'Green IT' is now part of our vocabulary recognizing the problem of IT as a polluter and the responsibility of IT professionals to do something about it. On the other hand there is a counter argument that in IT and IS we have the potential and opportunity to positively influence the global environmental future -- in other words, develop Green IS to reduce the other 98%. This sentiment is reflected in a chapters developed as part of the Global Text Project. Here the term 'Green IT' is distinguished from 'Green IS'. 'Green IT' is seen to focus mainly on energy efficiency and equipment utilization. 'Green IS', in contrast, refers to "the design and implementation of information systems that contribute to sustainability of business processes". Green IS as so described should therefore have a greater potential than Green IT because it tackles a much larger problem. IS can play a key role in making organizations more sustainable while at the same reducing the negative environmental impact of IS and associated IT infrastructure. Hence this mini track will focus on the role that IS can play in these two interrelated issues of Green IT and Green IS. The purpose of this mini-track is to advance theoretical and practical knowledge in this emerging domain and to gain a better understanding of current industry initiatives and academic research being conducted on the role of IS in business sustainability.

Fwd: [WI] European Workshop on Smart Objects

18 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] European Workshop on Smart Objects Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:09:53 +0100 Von: Dr. Jens Strxfcker <strueker(a)iig.uni-freiburg.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de ************************ CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************** Dear WI community, We would like to inform you about the European Workshop on Smart Objects: Systems, Technologies and Applications June 15th to June 16th, 2010, University Castilla-La Mancha, Ciudad Real, Spain Website: www.rfid-systech.eu Invited Speaker: Florent Frederix, Head of Sector 'Radio Frequency Identification', European Commission Submission deadline: February 12th 2010 Best wishes Jens Strüker Institute of Computer Science and Social Studies Department of Telematics Albert-Ludwig University Freiburg, Germany jens.strueker(a)iig.uni-freiburg.de *********************************************************************************** Over the last years, the European Workshop on RFID Systems and Technologies (RFID-SysTech) has become a central platform in Europe for personal networking and information exchange in the field of RFID technologies and applications. While the networking of objects for the purpose of data collection and distributed control is no longer a recent phenomenon, the sheer number of things that are networked to information systems has dramatically risen. Today, the Internet is increasingly extended to all kinds of physical assets: product components, finished products, logistic units, equipment, documents, vehicles, buildings and electronical meters as well as embedded systems of all kind. Mature industries, like the energy or automotive are in euphoric mood and accordingly, we see enormous research and technological development activity: For instance, Auto-ID technologies such as RFID are being increasingly combined with data storage capacity and sensors or other communication devices that provide real-time data such as position, temperature, pressure, vibrations etc. These special-purpose computer systems are able to sense information from the real world or perform actions upon it and are also able to communicate with other networked computer systems. The resultant integration into existing business processes and IT infrastructures under the side condition of enabling an interaction between intelligent objects and business applications within and between enterprises in a generic, flexible and scalable manner is a considerable challenge. At the same time, the economic potential is promising and will also help enterprises to address completely new challenges such as sustainability: Interacting with smart devices will ensure that enterprises get correct, auditable trails for sustainability metrics. Such systems can help businesses track carbon and other environmental aspects. However, business-to-business integration solutions such as the EPCglobal network or other bilateral approaches have to be developed further in order to meet the supporting requirements. The specific profile of this workshop is to examine both the technology and business aspects: - the latest achievements in technologies and systems for smart objects - their integration into information systems and business processes - and their business value. Scientists and practitioners from the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and information systems will find an excellent opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary discussions, set up new networks and exchange information on a professional level. In addition to the workshop, an industrial exhibition presenting the latest innovations will be held. Key Topics: Technologies and Systems: - Active / Passive RFID - RF-Transceivers for RFID and Smart Technologies - Sensing and Actuating - Smart Objects, Smart Items - Transponder Technologies / Integrated Circuit Technologies - Antenna Design and Air Interface - NFC Technologies - Printed Electronic and new Materials - Processes for Tag Manufacturing - Sensor Networks - Positioning and Location - Protocols and Standardization - Middleware and Databases - System Modelling Applications and Business: - Logistics and Supply Chain Management - Maintenance - Tracking and Tracing - Manufacturing Control - Industrial Process Automation - Health Care, Pharmaceutical - RFID beyond the Point of Sales - Business Value and Performance Measurement - New Business Models - Security and Privacy - Sociological Aspects and Technology Acceptance Guideline for Preparation and Submission of Contributions: All submissions (full papers) must follow the guidelines given under: http://rfid-systech.eu/html/call_for_papers.html and be at least 6 pages in length.
