-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CSCW 2012 Workshop (CfP): Exploring Collaboration in Challenging Environments Datum: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:27:03 +0100 Von: Volker Wulf <volker.wulf(a)fit.fraunhofer.de> Antwort an: volker.wulf(a)uni-siegen.de An: ListeAISWORLD <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): Manfred Tscheligi <manfred.tscheligi(a)sbg.ac.at> *CFP: Workshop at CSCW2012: Exploring collaboration in challenging environments: From the car to the factory and beyond* Workshop at CSCW2012: Exploring collaboration in challenging environments: From the car to the factory and beyond Specific and difficult environments offer a variety of methodological challenges to explore cooperation under very specific contextual conditions. Difficult and challenging environments we understand as contexts going beyond traditional working/office settings offering very specific characteristics to be explored. Examples for these environments can be the automotive context (studying cooperation in the car) or the context of a semiconductor factory. The aim is to generate a framework of influence factors for collaboration in the sphere of difficult environments, focusing on the methodological challenges of analyzing requirements, introducing novel technologies and working together with representative users in these contexts (e.g. requirement analysis in the cleanroom of a semiconductor factory, integrating novel technology in an operating room, collaboration devices in a car). The forum is open to researchers and practitioners from a variety of fields. Through position papers and interactive discussions participants will explore current issues and future approaches. Deadlines: * Deadline position papers: 25 November 2011 * Notification for workshop participants: 12 December 2011 * Deadline for the final position papers: 15 January 2011 * Workshop at CSCW2012: 11 February 2012 Website: http://workshops.icts.sbg.ac.at/cscw2012/ Position papers about contextual influence factors and the methodological challenges they pose in challenging and difficult research environments, such as automotive, factory, hospital, school, etc. are invited. Submissions are invited on the following topics: * Influencing factors for the different instances of ?difficult? environments * Challenges and comparisons towards methods and measures for investigating collaboration such as: * Lab vs. field studies * Simulating contexts vs. in-situ * Forms of ethnographic methods * Experience and context sampling * Narration and storytelling * Human factors and ergonomics issues such as * Ergonomics in collaboration with and supporting collaboration by intelligent adaptive systems (e.g. robots, driving assistance systems) * Human in the loop and joint interaction * Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) vs. machine mediated human-human interaction * Future emerging interaction possibilities to support collaboration in ?difficult? environments such as * Potential of multitouch, haptics, and gestures * Speech and gaze interfaces * Situated display Position papers should be submitted to the workshop organizers, no later than 25 November 2011. The position paper will form the bases for the position statements at the beginning of the workshop. The position paper (min 800 words, but no longer than 4 A4 pages) about current research and viewpoints on the topics should be sent to the organizers at Difficult-CSCW(a)hciunit.org <mailto:Difficult-CSCW@hciunit.org>. There are no prerequisites for attending the workshop. All members of the CSCW community, as well as members from related communities, such as HCI, HRI, Social Science, Communication Science etc. are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussions.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: WWW 2012 Workshop - 2nd Temporal Web Analytics Workshop (TempWeb), Lyon, France, April 17, 2012 Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:53:23 +0100 From: Marc Spaniol <mspaniol(a)mpi-inf.mpg.de> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************************************************************** 2nd Temporal Web Analytics Workshop (TempWeb 2012) in conjunction with WWW 2012 April 17, 2012, Lyon, France http://www.temporalweb.net/ Objectives: The objective of this workshop is to provide a venue for researchers of all domains (IE/IR, Web mining etc.) where the temporal dimension opens up an entirely new range of challenges and possibilities. The workshop’s ambition is to help shaping a community of interest on the research challenges and possibilities resulting from the introduction of the time dimension in Web analysis. TempWeb focuses on temporal data analysis along the time dimension for Web data that has been collected over extended time periods. A major challenge in this regard is the sheer size of the data it exposes and the ability to make sense of it in a useful and meaningful manner for its users. Web scale data analytics therefore needs to develop infrastructures and extended analytical tools to make sense of these. TempWeb will take place April 17, 2012 in conjunction with International World Wide Web Conference in Lyon, France. Workshop topics of TempWeb therefore include, but are not limited to following: • Web scale data analytics • Temporal Web analytics • Distributed data analytics • Web science • Web dynamics • Data quality metrics • Web spam evolution • Content evolution on the Web • Systematic exploitation of Web archives • Large scale data storage • Large scale data processing • Time aware Web archiving • Data aggregation • Web trends • Topic mining • Terminology evolution • Community detection and evolution Important Dates: • Paper submission deadline: February 17, 2012 • Notification of acceptance: March 5, 2012 • Camera ready copy deadline: March 16, 2012 • Workshop: April 17, 2012 Please post your submission (up to 8 pages) using the ACM template: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates at: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=tempweb2012 Workshop Officials: PC-Chairs and Organizers: Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Yahoo!

Workshop: 11 or 12 February 2012 at CSCW 2012, Seattle, WA, USA http://crisisinformatics.wineme.fb5.uni-siegen.de/ http://www.cscw2012.org/participation/workshops.php Events like 9/11, the hurricane Katrina or the Sendai Earthquake have drawn more and more attention on ways how individuals, organizations or society as a whole can improve their crisis preparedness as well as their coping and recovery strategies in crisis situations. In all scenarios, the collaboration of professional responders, public administrations and citizens and organizations affected offers a great potential that needs to be further understood and explored. In this workshop we will bring together academics from various disciplines as well as reflective practitioners to discuss challenges and approaches for improving intra- and interorganizational collaboration in crisis situations. This workshop addresses the topic of understanding and supporting intra- and interorganizational collaboration in crisis situations. It aims at drawing together experts from academia and practice to collect and discuss empirical studies, theoretical considerations and technological concepts to improve crisis preparedness as well as coping and recovery work in crisis scenarios. Crisis Informatics does not only target the development of technologies and information systems that help professional actors in their coping and recovery work, but particularly addresses socio-technical concerns in medium- to large-scale emergency response. Additionally it expands consideration to include not only official responders (who tend to be the focus in policy and technology-focused matters), but also members of the public. It therefore views emergency response as a social system where information is disseminated within and between official and public channels and entities. Crisis informatics wrestles with methodological concerns as it strives to develop new theory and support informed development of ICT and policy. As the diversity of the challenges of emergency management and response increases with the number and complexity of threats organizations and the society face, the opportunities to collaborate on the basis of an exploding number of communication and collaboration technologies (mobile devices, locating devices, social networking sites, crowdsourcing approaches) urge us to find new ways of understanding, conceptualizing and evaluating possible usages for these collaboration technologies in emergency management and response. Interesting research topics we invite position papers for include (but are not restricted to): • studies in the use of social software for collaboration in emergency response • studies in the collaborative use of mobile and locating devices in emergency response • theoretical considerations on emergency response as a social system, • technological concepts and prototypes to support collaboration in crisis situations, • methodological and ethical considerations of doing research in and for crisis situations. Goals, Format and Organization of the Workshop The workshop aims at identifying and structuring key factors and challenges for preparation, coping and recovery work in crisis situations. It particularly aims at fostering a research agenda that looks at emergency response as a continuous social process of a network of interdependent actors and organizations. We will discuss and develop 1. theoretical approaches to capture collaboration dynamics in crisis situations, 2. appropriate research methods and strategies to make practitioners experiences accessible for academic work 3. appropriate design, development and evaluation methodologies to conceptualize and test innovative approaches using collaborative technologies in a way that secures their relevance for emergency response practice. The results will be published in a number of ways (see below). An overall goal of the workshop will be to identify and articulate issues for future research. We will solicit contributions from the IS, HCI and CSCW communities as well as from researchers and practitioners in the area of emergency management and response, using all usual channels incl. announcements in mailing lists, conferences and personal contacts. Prospective participants should submit a position paper of up to 4 pages (ACM CSCW Full Paper Style) describing their interests and previous work in the topic of the workshop and first comments concerning a list of research issues they derive from their expertise and experience. We will compile and publish on the Workshop Website prior to the deadline these research interests. We will select participants on the basis of their abstract's quality and their response to the list of issues; the diversity of their backgrounds, aiming at an inter-disciplinary group. To enable a focussed and productive discussion, we limit the number of participants to 20. The workshop will last one day. Sessions are to be organized around research issues, trying to induce fruitful discussions, possibly around competitive positions, followed by summarizing activities.

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: UMUAI Special Issue on Context-Aware Recommender Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: UMUAI Special Issue on Context-Aware Recommender Systems Datum: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:43:20 +0000 Von: <dietmar.jannach(a)tu-dortmund.de> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ******************************************************************** 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Context-Aware Recommender Systems User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction: The Journal of Personalization Research (UMUAI) *** Extended abstract submission deadline: December 1, 2011 *** Paper submission deadline (for accepted abstracts): March 15, 2012 UMUAI Web site: http://www.umuai.org/ ********************************************************************* SCOPE Recommender systems represent a popular area of personalization technologies, which has enjoyed a tremendous amount of research and development activity in both academia and industry in the last 10-15 years. Recommender systems research typically explores and develops techniques and applications for recommending various products or services to individual users based on the knowledge of users' tastes and preferences as well as users' past activities (such as previous purchases), which are applicable in a variety of domains and settings. While a substantial amount of research has already been performed in the area of recommender systems, the vast majority of existing approaches has focused on recommending the most relevant items to users and does not take into account any additional contextual information, such as time, location, weather, or the company of other people. In other words, traditionally recommender systems deal with applications having only two types of entities, users and items, and do not put them into a context when providing recommendations. However, the importance of contextual information has been recognized by researchers and practitioners in many disciplines (such as e-commerce personalization, information retrieval, ubiquitous and mobile computing, data mining, marketing, and management), and, in the past several years, context-awareness has been increasingly recognized as a critical issue in many recommendation applications and has been explored by a number of recommender systems researchers. This is evidenced by an increasing number of papers on context-aware recommender systems that appear in major conferences (such as ACM Conference on Recommender Systems) as well as the continued success of several events specifically dedicated to context-aware recommender systems (such as the annual Workshop on Context-Aware Recommender Systems in 2009, 2010, and 2011, and Challenge on Context-Aware Movie Recommendation in 2010 and 2011). This UMUAI special issue on context-aware recommender systems builds on the recent activities in this area and is designed to solicit papers that report on recent significant advances, carry out innovative explorations, and establish foundations for further research. This special issue interprets the notion of context broadly, as any additional conditions and circumstances (i.e., beyond user profile and item content information) that may affect user preferences for items. Therefore, a wide range of specific usage contexts would be considered appropriate for this special issue, including location-aware or mobile recommendation, time-dependent recommendation, weather-aware recommendation, companion-aware or person-proximity-aware recommendation, interaction-aware recommendation, and so on. Note, however, that user profile information (e.g., user demographics or a set of previously rated items by a user) and item content information (e.g., item features) typically are not considered contextual information in recommender systems literature, but rather constitute standard, traditional inputs to recommendation algorithms for user-item preference estimation. The topics of interest for the special issue include (but are not limited to): * Context modeling techniques for recommender systems; * Context-aware user modeling for recommender systems; * Acquisition, prediction, and mining of contextual information in recommender systems; * Algorithms for context-aware recommender systems; * Interacting with context-aware recommender systems; * Novel applications for context-aware recommender systems; * Large-scale context-aware recommender systems; * Context-aware recommendation to groups; * Evaluation and user studies of context-aware recommender systems; * Privacy issues in context-aware recommender systems. PAPER SUBMISSION& REVIEW PROCESS The prospective authors must first submit an extended abstract of no more than 4 single-spaced pages, formatted with 12 pt font and 1 inch margins, by email directly to the special issue editors by *** December 1, 2011 ***. All submitted abstracts will receive an initial screening by the special issue editors. Authors of abstracts will be notified about the results of the initial screening by *** December 15, 2011 ***.

Fwd: [WI] CFP: 2nd Enterprise Engineering Working Conference
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP: 2nd Enterprise Engineering Working Conference Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 23:46:21 +0100 From: Albani Antonia <antonia.albani(a)unisg.ch> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de =================================================================== 2nd Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2012) http://www.ciaonetwork.org/eewc2012 May, 07-08, 2012 Delft, The Netherlands Proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) =================================================================== Motivation ---------- Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences, and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about changes. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. Only engineers bring about changes. In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These responsibilities can only be borne if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the construction of the enterprise. Focus and Goal -------------- The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is the second working conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering. The goal of the conference is to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about the challenges mentioned above. It is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to address traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise Engineering Paradigm (www.ciaonetwork.org/publications/EEManifesto.pdf). The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant. Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not limited to: * Enterprise Ontology * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Governance * Enterprise modeling and simulation * Domain ontologies * Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes * Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes * Business Process Management * Business Rules Management * Information systems design * Information system architectures * Component based system design * Service Oriented Design * Business process modeling and simulation * Participatory systems Organization ------------ The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 follows the successful 1st EEWC in 2011, and the preceding series of workshops (CIAO!'10, CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous workshops and working conference, the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following short presentations. Publication ----------- The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series "Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing". 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. Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP for IWOMP 2012 Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 08:30:23 +0100 From: Matthias Müller <Matthias.Mueller(a)tu-dresden.de> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> My apologies if you receive multiple copies ----- CALL FOR PAPERS: submission deadline January 31, 2012 8th International Workshop on OpenMP IWOMP 2012 June 11-13, 2012 Rome, Italy http://www.iwomp.org/ The International Workshop on OpenMP is the premier forum to present and discuss issues, trends, recent research ideas and results related to parallel programming with OpenMP. The international workshop affords an opportunity for OpenMP users as well as developers to come together for discussions and sharing new ideas and information on this topic. IWOMP 2012 will be a three-day event. The first day will consist of tutorials focusing on topics of interest to current and prospective OpenMP developers, suitable for both beginners as well as those interested in learning of recent developments in the evolving OpenMP standard. The second and third days will consist of technical papers and panel session(s) during which research ideas and results will be presented and discussed. Technical Paper Submission and Publication We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP. All topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP applications in any domain (e.g., scientific computation, video games, computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization, text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing and numerical solvers), OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness tools and proposed OpenMP extensions. The theme of IWOMP 2012 is "OpenMP in a heterogeneous world". IWOMP 2012 solicits submissions that highlight OpenMP work in this context. Examples are advances in technologies, such as multi-core processors and accelerators (e.g., GPGPU, FPGA), the use of OpenMP in very large-scale parallel systems, and recent developments in OpenMP itself (e.g., tasking). As in previous years, IWOMP 2012 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series. Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of up to 15 pages. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: January 31, 2012 Notification of acceptance: February 28, 2012 Camera-ready version of paper due: March 21 2012 Tutorial and workshop in Rome: June 11-13, 2012
