-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] UMUAI Special Issue on Data Mining for Personalized Educational Systems (Second CFP) Datum: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 18:26:09 +0100 Von: Sebastian Ventura <sventura(a)uco.es> An: <sventura(a)uco.es> CC: <cromero(a)uco.es> PLEASE CIRCULATE this CFP among your colleagues and students. *********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS (with apologies for cross-posting) Special Issue on Data Mining for Personalized Educational Systems User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction: The Journal of Personalization Research (An international journal published by Springer Verlag) Web site: http://www.uco.es/grupos/kdis/umuai/special_issue.html *********************************************************************** SCOPE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: Educational data mining (EDM) is an emerging discipline, concerned with developing methods for exploring the unique types of data that can be gathered in an educational context. The increase in instrumented educational software and in databases of student test scores has created large data repositories reflecting how students learn. EDM focuses on computational approaches for using those data to address important educational questions. One focus of EDM consists in improving personalized educational systems, which is the topic of this special issue. EDM can enhance the effectiveness, personalization and/or adaptivity of such learning environments. In turn, student data coming from personalized systems are semantically richer than data from traditional web-based education system, and can lead to deeper diagnostic analysis. Contributions to this special issue are particularly welcome in, but not limited to, the following topics related to Data Mining for Personalized Educational Systems: - Analysis and visualization of student interactions. - Applying recommender system in educational environments. - Prediction of performance and marks. - Applying sequence mining in educational data. - User modeling using data mining. - Applying text mining in educational data. - Improving educational software. - Detecting outliers, cheating, gaming, errors, misuse, gifted, etc. - Detecting motivation, affective, behavior, learning styles, etc. - Improving teacher support and feedback. - Test item analysis. HOW TO SUBMIT Submissions to the special issue should follow the UMUAI formatting guidelines and submission instructions available at: http://www.umuai.org/paper_submission.html Each submission should note that it is intended for the Special Issue on Data Mining for Personalized Educational Systems. Potential authors are asked to submit a tentative title and short abstract (which can be altered for the actual submission) to assist in the formation of a panel of appropriate reviewers. UMUAI is an archival journal that publishes mature and substantiated research results on the (dynamic) adaptation of computer systems to their human users, and the role that a model of the system about the user plays in this context. Many articles in UMUAI are quite comprehensive and describe the results of several years of work. Consequently, UMUAI gives "unlimited" space to authors (so long as what they write is important). Authors whose paper exceeds 40 pages in journal format (including illustrations and references) are however requested to supply a short justification upon submission that explains why a briefer discussion of their research results would not be advisable. REVIEW PROCESS Submissions will undergo the normal review process, and will be reviewed by three established researchers selected from a panel of reviewers formed for the special issue. Barring unforeseen problems, authors can expect to be notified regarding the review results within three-four months of submission. IMPORTANT DATES: - Notification of Intent to Submit: as soon as possible - Submission of Title and Abstract: March 1, 2010 - Manuscript Submission: April 16, 2010 GUEST EDITORS Dr. Cristóbal Romero, Dept. of Computer Sciences, Univ. of Córdoba, Spain. email: cromero(a)uco.es http://www.uco.es/~in1romoc/ Dr. Sebastián Ventura, Dept. of Computer Sciences, Univ. of Córdoba, Spain. email: sventura(a)uco.es http://www.uco.es/~ma1vesos/ If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask the guest editors -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final CFP: 15th International Conference on Modelling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design (EMMSAD'10) Datum: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:49:16 -0600 Von: Keng Siau <ksiau(a)unlnotes.unl.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org EMMSAD'2010 15th International Conference on Modelling Methods in Systems Analysis and Design (EMMSAD'10) http://www.emmsad.org <http://www.emmsad.org/> Hammamet, Tunisia, 7-8 June, 2010 (held in conjunction with CAiSE'10) Submissions due: 18 February 2010 (papers) Sponsors * Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). As of 2007, EMMSAD is officially linked to the CAiSE conference series on a regular basis. * The Enterprise Engineering Network. * International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1. IFIP WG8.1 has sponsored EMMSAD since 1997. * Association for Information Systems Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis and Design (AIS-SIGSAND). The AIS-SIGSAND has been a sponsor since 2005. * INTEROP-VLab North Pole and the predecessor Interop has been a sponsor since 2005. Background Several modelling techniques for the analysis and design of enterprises, business processes and information systems are in existence. The field includes numerous modelling methods, notations and approaches (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, ArchiMate, EPC, BPMN and DEMO). Even with some attempts to standardise (e.g. UML for object-oriented software design and ArchiMate for enterprise architecture), new modelling methods are being introduced, many of which differ only marginally from existing approaches. These ongoing changes significantly impact the way enterprises, business processes and information systems are being analysed and designed in practice. The EMMSAD conference focuses on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing current systems modeling methods and methodologies, where systems can refer to enterprises, business processes, as well as information systems. Though the need for such studies is well recognised, there is a paucity of such research in the literature. The objective of the EMMSAD series of conferences is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modelling methods for systems analysis and design to meet, and exchange research ideas and results. It also provides the participants an opportunity to present their research papers and experience reports, and to take part in open discussions. EMMSAD'10 is the 15th in a very successful series of EMMSAD events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim, Montpellier and Amsterdam. As of 2007, EMMSAD is officially linked to the CAiSE conference series. Topics of Interest Relevant topics include theoretical and/or empirical or case-based exploration of modeling methods and methodologies in a systems analysis and design context, where systems include enterprises, business processes as well as information systems. The topics of interest include general modelling issues, such as: * Modelling languages * Quality of models & modelling * The process of modelling * Specific strategies for modelling * Situational methods and strategies for modelling * Experiences in modelling * Theoretical/philosophical foundations of modelling where this can pertain to specific aspects of systems, such as: * Goal modelling * Enterprise modelling * Value modelling * Service & transaction modelling * Business processes & business rules * Information & database modelling Important dates * Paper submissions: February 18 * Notification of acceptance: March 13 * Camera-ready copies: March 20 * Conference: June 7-8 Submission guidelines The conference accepts two types of submissions: completed research and research in progress. Completed research papers should include analysis of data and discussion on research findings. Research in progress papers should report on research that is well under way with preliminary research results available at the time of the conference. For both types of papers, the paper should not exceed 13 pages using the correct style (including references and appendices). Papers may involve a theoretical analysis of a scientific challenge, as well as the presentation of a solution to an identified scientific challenge. The first page should begin with the title of the paper, author names (contact author underlined), affiliations, and e-mail addresses, followed by an abstract of no more than 150 words. The paper should be formatted according to the Springer LNBIP format. Only electronic submissions Adobe PDF format are accepted. E-mail your abstract to E.Proper(a)acm.org. Submit the full paper using the conference management system available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=emmsad10 Accepted papers will be published in the EMMSAD conference proceedings, which will be provided in the LNBIP series by Springer Verlag, and should use the Springer LNBIP style (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Top papers in the completed research category will also be considered (after extension and enhancement) either for chapters in a book to be edited by the workshop co-chairs, or for journal publications in the International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (IJISMD).

The huge number of Web sites that offer travel-related information, however, might lead to daunting information overload. In order to support tourists in decision-making, new methods and technologies (e.g., semantic Web, recommender systems, context-sensitive approaches, or innovative user interfaces) are required to deliver highly targeted services to tourists. Besides that, the penetration of high-end mobile devices together with the decrease in mobile data prices have resulted in tourists asking for mobile services. Also the supplier side, including destination management and travel organizations, has to keep up with the rapid developments in ICT. For this purpose, they have to use innovative Web mining methods to analyze the market, inter-organizational Web applications/services to exchange information and novel forms of social Web and rich Internet applications to enforce the contact with their customers. The crucial prerequisite for all these developments discussed are proper Web engineering techniques to allow for a systematic development and maintenance of next generation tourism Web applications. PURPOSE& ORGANISATION ====================== The purpose of the International Workshop on Web Engineering& Tourism (WEBTOUR) is to bring together researchers from diverse communities who are interested in discussing ideas and ongoing work related to the field of Web engineering and e-tourism. The Workshop will follow a format supporting in-depth discussion and collaboration of participants. As such, each session will include extended presentations (20 minutes) and time for further discussion. All papers presented in the Workshop will be published by Springer as LNCS post-proceedings. Authors of selected papers will be invited to publish an extended version of their work in the Journal of Information Technology& Tourism (JITT) series (see http://ojs.modul.ac.at/index.php/jitt). TOPICS OF INTEREST ====================== The major topics of interest focus on innovative Web engineering techniques for tourism related tasks and applications. They include but are not limited to: * Engineering of Web-based tourism applications * Mobile, context-sensitive and ubiquitous tourism applications * Tourism recommender systems * Innovative user interfaces * Preference modeling and tourist behavior research * Tourism ontologies and Semantic Web * Tourist trip planning with heuristic methods * Statistical methods for Web monitoring in tourism * Travel 2.0 and social communities * Web information extraction and mining from tourism sources * Cultural heritage& ICT IMPORTANT DATES ====================== Paper submission: April 21, 2010 (23:59 Hawaii Time) Notification: May 21, 2010 (23:59 Hawaii Time) Camera-ready version: June 7, 2010 (23:59 Hawaii Time) Workshop day: July 5 or 6, 2010 SUBMISSION ====================== Authors are invited to submit papers that demonstrate original unpublished research in the combined field of Web engineering and e-tourism.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: Information Systems and Environmental Sustainability, MIS Quarterly Datum: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:25:29 -0600 Von: Jan DeGross <degro003(a)umn.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org The MIS Quarterly invites submission of unpublished, original research for a Special Issue on Information Systems and Environmental Sustainability. The call for papers aims to contribute significantly to a first wave of rigorous and relevant research that demonstrates the role that IS, which has been labeled “green IS,” plays in the areas of environmental, economic, and societal sustainability issues. This special issue seeks to highlight research that reports developments and analyses that provide solutions to global warming; that explicates theories and frameworks to guide future research in the area of IS and sustainability; and that comprises rigorous empirical analysis of the role of information systems, responsive as well as strategic green IS, in enabling sustainability efforts. The research might be multi-disciplinary such that it includes economics, sociology, psychology, design, engineering, or other perspectives and could employ multiple methods. It should serve to set the foundation for a continuing program of research on sustainability in not only the IS community but the business research community in general. Guest Editors: Arvind Malhotra (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Nigel P. Melville (University of Michigan), and Richard T. Watson (University of Georgia). The submission deadline is January 16, 2011. To view this Call for Papers, or to download a pdf copy of the call, go to the MIS Quarterly’s web site at http://www.misq.org or http://www.misq.org/BulletinBoard/GreenIS.pdf _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
