CISSE 2011 is the seventh conference of the CISSE series of e-conferences. CISSE is the World's first Engineering/Computing and Systems Research E-Conference. CISSE 2005 was the first high-caliber Research Conference in the world to be completely conducted online in real-time via the internet. In 2005, CISSE received 255 research paper submissions and the final program included 140 accepted papers, from more than 45 countries. CISSE 2009 received more than 500 submissions and the final program included 210 accepted papers. Last year, CISSE 2010 received a total of 376 paper submissions and the final program included 99 accepted papers, from more than 80 countries. The virtual conference will be conducted through the Internet using web-conferencing tools, made available by the conference. Authors will be presenting their PowerPoint, audio or video presentations using web-conferencing tools without the need for travel. Conference sessions will be broadcast to all the conference participants, where session participants can interact with the presenter during the presentation and/or during the Q&A slot that follows the presentation. This international conference will be held entirely on-line. The accepted and presented papers will be made available and sent to the authors after the conference both on a DVD (including all papers, PowerPoint presentations and audio presentations) and as a book publication. Springer, the official publisher for CISSE, published the 2009 proceedings in 2 books. Conference participants - authors, presenters and attendees - only need an internet connection and sound available on their computers in order to be able to contribute and participate in this international ground-breaking conference. The on-line structure of this high-quality event will allow academic professionals and industry participants to contribute their work and attend world-class technical presentations based on rigorously refereed submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel funds or time out of the office. The concept and format of CISSE is ground-breaking. The PowerPoint presentations, final paper manuscripts and time schedule for live presentations over the web had been available for weeks prior to the start of the conference for all registrants, so that the participants can choose the presentations they want to attend and think about questions that they might want to ask. The live audio presentations were also recorded and are part of the permanent CISSE on-line archive - accessible to all registrants- which also includes all the papers, PowerPoint and audio presentations. Potential non-author conference attendees who cannot make the on-line conference dates are encouraged to register, as the entire joint conferences will be archived for future viewing. The CISSE conference audio room provides superb audio even over low speed internet connections, the ability to display PowerPoint presentations, and cross-platform compatibility (the conferencing software runs on Windows, Mac, and any other operating system that supports Java). In addition, the conferencing system allowed for an unlimited number of participants, which in turn granted us the opportunity to allow all CISSE participants to attend all presentations, as opposed to limiting the number of available seats for each session. Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers electronically in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format through the website of the conference at: http://www.cisseconference.org/2011 Accepted papers must be presented in the virtual conference by one of the authors.

ICSOC aims at fostering cross-community scientific excellence and collaboration by the gathering of experts from various disciplines, such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, ubiquitous computing, grid computing, service science, management science, and software engineering. Service innovation is key to the future of business. Even in traditionally manufacturing-driven industries, such as IT, the importance of service has surpassed most other corporate competences. The Internet and Web-based services create ever more opportunities for service innovation. Service science is an interdisciplinary approach to the study, design, and implementation of service systems - the specific arrangements of people, organizations, technologies, and information that co-create value. Service systems are often IT-enabled and knowledge-intensive, and can span different real or virtual organizations. In this multidisciplinary context, researchers and practitioners in management, social sciences, and computer sciences are all working together to promote and facilitate service innovation. While keeping its roots in scientific excellence and technical depth of service technology, ICSOC 2011 aims at examining the research opportunities that are offered by the possible blend of service-oriented computing with cloud computing. In cloud computing, software platforms, applications and data reside in providers' servers called clouds. By making clouds ubiquitously available, a more rapid and low cost access to a shared pool of virtualized and configurable computing resources is offered to enterprises that would like to diversify their application computation and data storage strategies. "Service-oriented and cloud computing" is this time the main theme for ICSOC 2011. Questions like how does service-oriented computing support the transition to cloud-based solutions, and how does it support Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) models are highlighted for researchers to be discussed during the conference. ICSOC 2011 will bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines to focus on service-oriented, cloud-based innovative for the 21st century enterprises. The conference will feature research and industry presentations, keynote presentations, workshops, demonstrations, tutorials, and a PhD track. Please refer to www.icsoc.org for calls for workshops, demonstrations, and tutorials. ICSOC 2011 will take place in Coral Beach resort near the city of Paphos, Cyprus. Prior editions of ICSOC took place respectively in Trento, New York City, Amsterdam, Chicago, Vienna, Sydney, Stockholm and San Francisco. ********************************************************************* CONTACT INFORMATION If you have any inquiries, please contact the PhD Symposium chairs at: ps [at] icsoc.org ********************************************************************* -- Ivan Bedini Bell Labs Ireland Tel: +353 1 8864525 email: ivan.bedini(a)alcatel-lucent.com -- 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 Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers on “Social Media“, Special Issue Journal “Künstliche Intelligenz KI” Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:01:08 +0000 From: Detlef Schoder <Schoder(a)wim.uni-koeln.de> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers on “Social Media“, Special Issue Journal “Künstliche Intelligenz KI” KI – Künstliche Intelligenz /(Artificial Intelligence)/ http://www.kuenstliche-intelligenz.de/ A Springer publication, ISSN 0933-1875 (Print) 1610-1987 (Online) *Call for Papers* Social Media has led to radical paradigm shifts in the ways we communicate, collaborate, consume, and create information. Technology allows virtually anyone to disseminate information to a global audience almost instantaneously. Information published by peers in the form of Tweets, blog posts, or Web documents through online social networking services has proliferated on an unprecedented scale, contributing to an exponentially growing data deluge. A new level of connectedness among peers adds new ways for the consumption of (traditional) media. We are witnessing new forms of collaboration, including the phenomenon of an emergent ‘collective intelligence’. This intelligence of crowds can be harnessed in myriad ways, ranging from outsourcing simple, repetitive tasks on Amazon Mechanical Turk, to solving complex challenges such as proving a mathematical theorem creatively and collaboratively. This call for papers welcomes contributions showing: 1) How to make sense of Social Media data, i.e. how to condense, distill, or integrate highly decentralized and dispersed data resulting from human communication, including sensor-collected data to a meaningful entity or information service, or 2) How Social Media contributes to innovation, collaboration, and collective intelligence. We invite papers covering all aspects of Social Media analysis including Social Media in Business (especially for Marketing, Innovation, and Collaboration), Entertainment (especially Social News, Social Music Services, Social TV, and Social Network Games), as well as Art (e.g. City Installations). Applications of Social Media in art may be understood as a playing field for translating highly decentralized ‘social data’ into centralized forms of artful expression, thus furthering our intuitive understanding of these complex emergent phenomena. The list of topics mentioned below is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Insightful artifacts and methods as well as analytical, conceptual, empirical, and theoretical approaches (using any kind of research method, including experiments, primary data from social media logs, case studies, simulations, surveys, and so on) are within the scope. ØInformation/Web mining (e.g. opinion mining) ØPrognosis (e.g. trend and hot topic identification) ØCollective Intelligence ØCrowdsourcing ØSwarm Creativity, Collaborative Innovation Networks Ø(Dynamic) Social Media Monitoring ØSentiment, Natural Language Processing ØSocial Media within and for Smart Cities, Smart Traffic, Smart Energy ØSocial Networks for the collaboration of large communities ØUser behavior, social interaction ØSocial Network Analysis (SNA), semantic network analysis ØSocial search engines and aggregators ØSocial network games ØPersonalization and adaptation to user preference ØTrust, reputation, social control, privacy ØInformation reliability, Web spam, content authenticity (e.g., detecting ‘astroturfing’) *Deadlines* ØSubmissions open until January 9, 2012 ØCamera-ready copies of revised papers by April 30, 2012 ØPre-Publication of accepted papers via Springer Online First™ in June 2012 ØPrinted version of this Special Issue: Fall 2012 In addition to complete research papers, this Special Issue will accept dissertation and conference reports, as well as practical project and innovative software descriptions in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the current activities in this area. All submitted manuscripts should be original contributions and not be under consideration in any other venue. Publication of an enhanced version of a previously published conference paper is possible if the review process determines that the revision contains significant enhancements, amplification or clarification of the original material. Any prior appearance of a substantial amount of a submission should be noted in the submission letter and on the title page. *Guest Editors* ØDetlef Schoder, Prof. Dr., schoder(a)wim.uni-koeln.de <mailto:schoder@wim.uni-koeln.de>, University of Cologne (Koeln), Department of Information Systems and Information Management, Cologne, Germany ØPeter A.
