============================
The 11th IEEE International Conference on Information
Reuse and Integration (IEEE IRI-2010)
Tuscany Suites& Casino, Las Vegas, USA
August 4-6, 2010
http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2010/
Keynote Speakers
Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh, Uuniversity of California Berkeley
Prof. Xindong Wu, University of Vermont
The increasing volumes and dimensions of information have dramatic
impact on effective decision-making. To remedy this situation,
Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse
of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge
representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating
this knowledge into legacy systems. IRI plays a pivotal role in the
capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and
extrapolation of information; and applies both information and
knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application
domains. This conference explores three major tracks: information
reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information
reuse considers optimizing representation methodologies; information
integration studies strategies for creatively applying models in
novel domains; and reusable systems focus on ontological
opportunities for deploying models and corresponding processes.
The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present,
discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with
real-world solutions. The conference feature contributed and
invited papers. Theoretical and applied papers are both included.
The conference program will include special sessions, open forum
workshops, and keynote speeches. A forum will be conducted with
the intent of bridging IRI and Systems of Systems and why the future
of intelligent computing - including computing applications - will
lie at the juxtaposition of these two topical areas.

Betreff: [WI] CfP: INFORMATIK 2010 Workshop on "Web Science"
Datum: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 10:10:25 -0400
Von: Claudia Muller-Birn <clmb(a)cs.cmu.edu>
An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de
Dear all,
I thought some of you might find this call interesting :)
Kind regards,
Claudia
**Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP**
==INFORMATIK 2010 Workshop on "Web Science"==
//co-located with GI-Jahrestagung 2010 ((http://www.informatik2010.de/))//
Web science is often referred to as the "science of decentralized information systems". While novel technologies such as semantic web, web services, and cloud computing are germane to the broad proliferation of Web technologies, we also need to understand phenomena of the Web in the small as well as in the large, in order to retain its usefulness and benefit to people. This is in the center of attention of Web science and includes besides the mentioned technological approaches, research related to online communities, information diffusion on the Web, Web governance, global network structures beyond the individual communities on the Web, growth analysis, incentive and monetization systems.
Because the web itself is socially embedded a particular focus of this first GI workshop on Web Science are social computing applications, such as Wikipedia, Facebook, or del.icio.us, which are analysed with regard to the complex interdependencies between constraints imposed by the technical system as well as with regard to their use in social actions and interactions under varying social contexts. Understanding dynamics and evolution of these systems, as they depend on inherent social and informational structures, is of particular interest, because it is the dynamics of such communities that determines their final success or failure. In order to analyze social computing applications, interplay between aspects of computer science, for example computational network analysis, visualization techniques, graph theoretic models, semantic web technologies, and machine learning techniques, with social science and psychology is required.
In this interdisciplinary workshop we are aiming to bridge the gap between paradigms and encourage interdisciplinary collaborations as well as advance and deepen our understanding of web science. Joint efforts are needed to take advantage of the state-of-the-art research from multiple disciplines, such as computer science, information systems, sociology, and psychology. Moreover, this workshop provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange preliminary results, new concepts and methodologies in this area.
===Topics of interest ===
Topics of interest include but not limited to:
* Web Governance incl. Provenance, Licensing, Data Security, Access Control
* Open Knowledge ecosystems on the Web, such as Open Governmental Data, Open Scientific Data
* Information quality assessment
* Quality, coherence and user interaction on the Linked Data Web
* Social computing applications such as collaborative filtering, community-based information retrieval and recommendation, collaborative bookmarking, tagging and multi-agent systems
* Static and dynamic models of Web structure and Web growth
* Analysis of network structures within and beyond individual communities on the Web
* Incentive and monetization systems
* Information diffusion on the Web,
* Web and Web application governance,
* Novel visualisation techniques for Web related data
* Integrating computational network analysis and semantic web techniques, for example to enhance the mainly structure-based network analysis by semantic information
* Case studies of communities such as Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, World of Warcraft, open source software as well as empirical findings in social computing-related applications
In particular, we aim at collecting a set of requirements, architectural styles and metaphors for Web science.
It is the target of such terminology and figures to build bridges of understanding between the different communities serving the need to appropriately //analyse// and //develop// social Web applications.
===Extent, structure, and selection of contributions===
Submitted papers should not exceed the maximum length of six (6) pages for the printed proceedings. In addition authors can submit an 12-pages extended version of their articles for the online proceedings and distribution on USB stick during the conference. Papers should be submitted to the ((http://139.18.8.225:8080/ConfISS/portal/conferenceOverview.html?cid=4 GI conference management system)).
Papers will be evaluated anonymously by two independent evaluators from the program committee.

The paper layout must conform to the guidelines provided by "Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)" (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/).
Please adhere to the GI formatting style.
It is expected that at least one author of each accepted paper officially registers for the conference.
Submissions will be accepted in German and English (preferred language).
===Important Dates===
* 07.05.2010 **Paper Submission**
* 24.05.2010 **Acceptance Notification**
