-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] AAAI-11: Final Call for Tutorials Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2010 01:36:34 +0000 From: Thomas Lukasiewicz <Thomas.Lukasiewicz(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk> Reply-To: Thomas.Lukasiewicz(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> /Call for Proposals/ *AAAI-11 Tutorial Forum* Twenty-Fifth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence August 7-11, 2011 * San Francisco, California, USA http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/2011/aaai11tutorialcall.pdf /Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence/ The AAAI-11 Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Forum of the Twenty-Fifth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-11). The Tutorial Forum will be held August 7-8, 2011 in San Francisco. Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial at AAAI-11 should submit a proposal to the 2011 Tutorial Forum Cochairs (listed below) via EasyChair. * * *What Is the Tutorial Forum?* The Tutorial Forum provides an opportunity for junior and senior researchers to spend two days each year freely exploring exciting advances in disciplines outside their normal focus. We believe this type of forum is essential for the cross fertilization, cohesiveness, and vitality of the AI field. We all have a lot to learn from each other; the Tutorial Forum promotes the continuing education of each member of the AAAI. To encourage full participation by technical conference registrants, no separate fee will be charged for admittance to the Tutorial Forum in 2011. * * *Topics* AAAI is interested in proposals for advanced tutorials at the leading edge of AI. We are particularly interested in tutorials that offer two types of knowledge. The first type provides in-depth background tools to help educate researchers and students for the purpose of conducting AI research; examples of this type of tutorials from AAAI-10 include "Sampling Techniques for Probabilistic and Deterministic Graphical Models," "Voting Theory," and "Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for MDPs." A second type of tutorial provides a broad overview for an AI area that potentially crosses boundaries with an interesting application area; examples of this type of tutorial from AAAI-10 include "Exploiting Statistical and Relational Information on the Web and in Social Media: Applications, Techniques, and New Frontiers," "Towards Intelligent Web Search: Inferring Searcher Intent," and "Machine Learning Meets Knowledge Representation in the Semantic Web." Our goal is to present a diverse program that includes core areas of AI, new techniques from allied disciplines that can inform research within AI, and conversely emerging applications of AI techniques to new areas. Previous years' tutorial programs provide an indication of the scope and variety of possible topics. The list is not exclusive; indeed, we are expressly interested in topics that we would not have imagined to mention. Finally, note that we very much welcome proposals for educational approaches that go beyond the traditional format of four-hour tutorials, exploiting the flexibility that the open format program offers. * * *Submission Requirements* We need two kinds of information in the proposals: information that will be used for selecting proposals and information that will appear in the tutorial description brochure. The proposal should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality of the technical content being taught, the quality of the educational material being used, and the speakers' skill at presenting this material. Each proposal should include at least the following: /Goal of the tutorial:/ Who is the target audience? What will the audience walk away with? What makes the topic innovative? /History:/ List of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate of the audience size. /Content:/ Detailed outline and list of additional materials, augmented with samples, such as past tutorial slides and survey articles, whenever possible. Be as complete as possible. /Tutorial description:/ A short paragraph summarizing the tutorial outline, and the intended duration of the symposium (default is four hours). /Prerequisite knowledge:/ What knowledge is assumed of the target audience. Please also submit the following information about the team of presenters: name, mailing address, phone number, email address; background in the tutorial area, including a list of publications and/or presentations; any available examples of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article or presentation materials on the subject); evidence of teaching experience (courses taught or references); and evidence of scholarship in AI or computer science. *Submission Deadline* Proposals must be received by December 3, 2010. Decisions about the tutorial program will be made by January 14, 2011. Speakers should be prepared to submit their tutorial descriptions and bios by January 28, 2011, and to post completed course materials on their websites by July 1, 2011. Submissions must be in pdf format and made via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aaai2011tutorialforum. *Tutorial Cochairs* Thomas Lukasiewicz Oxford University Computing Laboratory Wolfson Building, Parks Road Oxford OX1 3QD, UK 0044-1865-522566 0044-1865-273839 (fax) Thomas.Lukasiewicz(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk Patrick Pantel Microsoft Research One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052 ppantel(a)microsoft.com

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: Using Actor-Network Theory to Understand Development
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: Using Actor-Network Theory to Understand Development Datum: Wed, 01 Dec 2010 17:27:50 +0000 Von: Richard Heeks <Course.Idpm-3(a)manchester.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org This is a call for papers on use of actor-network theory in international development, with an initial deadline for abstracts of 10 January 2011. Actor-network theory has emerged over the past twenty years as a major conceptual force in social science. To date, though, it has hardly been applied within development studies. Yet the potential for ANT in the study of development has never appeared greater. The growing recognition of agency, process and relations among all development actors. The greater use of networks of individuals and organisations to deliver development. The increasing role played by technology in development processes. All these point to a prospective value of actor-network theory in helping us understand development today. We are therefore organising a workshop and journal special issue to bring together new work applying actor-network theory in international development research. Our aim is to explore the extent to which ANT can improve our understanding of development. At this initial stage, we wish to retain as broad a scope as possible for papers; from the more conceptual to the more practical; from those engaging with the overall ANT project to those which apply particular tools and sub-concepts; and from those which value ANT to those which critique its application in development. In all cases, we will be looking for some reflection on the contribution that ANT can make. The following timeline will be observed: - 10 January 2011 - prospective authors to submit an abstract of 200-400 words outlining their proposed paper to: ant4dev(a)gmail.com - 1 February 2011 - authors to be notified of response to abstract - 31 May 2011 - draft papers due (7,000-9,000 words), and workshop rapporteurs appointed - 30 June 2011 - workshop in London for presentation and discussion of papers - 30 Sept 2011 - finalised papers due Some travel funding will be made available for attendance at the London workshop. Papers will still be considered from those who are unable to attend the workshop. We will collate a selection of submitted papers for publication as a special issue in one of the leading development studies journals. Selected papers will be subject to further review in line with journal submission procedures. If you have any queries prior to abstract submission, do please ask.

Fwd: [AISWorld] MIS Quarterly Call for Papers: On Sociomateriality of Information Systems and Organizing
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] MIS Quarterly Call for Papers: On Sociomateriality of Information Systems and Organizing Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 13:21:12 -0600 From: Jan DeGross <degro003(a)umn.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Guest Editors: Dubravka Cecez-Kecmanovic, University of New South Wales Bob Galliers, Bentley University Ola Henfridsson, Viktoria Institute Sue Newell, Bentley University Richard Vidgen, University of New South Wales Submission Deadline: September 11, 2011 We invite papers that offer fresh thinking and an innovative approach to the intertwining of the social/human and material/ technological of IS and organizing and the ways to research, understand, and conceptualize IS-organizing sociomateriality. Whether submitting empirical or theoretical/conceptual papers, we encourage authors to question the accepted separation of the technical and the social and other taken-for-granted assumptions about IS and organizations. We also encourage authors to explore novel research methodologies that are not based on conventional dichotomies between idealism and materialism, subjectivism and objectivism. We seek intellectually and conceptually challenging, as well as practically relevant and inspiring papers that contribute to debates and stimulate advancement of knowledge in our and related fields. Papers that develop sociomaterial theories of IS and organizing, papers that present rich field studies of practice that go beyond illustration to demonstrate and build sociomaterial theory, and papers that explore the epistemological and methodological implications of sociomateriality are particularly welcome. To view the full Call for Papers, please go to the MIS Quarterly website at http://www.misq.org/ _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
