-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: VLDB'11 Workshop on Real-Time Business Intelligence Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 06:13:50 +0000 From: Castellanos, Malu G <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS BIRTE 2011 Fifth International Workshop on Real-Time Business Intelligence http://wwwdb.inf.tu-dresden.de/birte2011/ September 2, 2011 In conjunction with VLDB 2011 August 29-Sept 2, 2011 Seattle NEW!!! Keynote speakers: Andreas Reuter and Guy Lohman IMPORTANT DATES * Abstracts due: June 13, 2011 * Papers due: June 17, 2011 * Notification: July 26, 2011 * Camera-ready copies: August 1, 2011 DESCRIPTION In today's competitive and highly dynamic environment, analyzing data to understand how the business is performing and to predict outcomes and trends has become critial. The traditional approach to reporting is no longer adequate, users now demand easy-to-use intelligent platforms and applications capable of analyzing real-time data to provide insight and actionable information at the right time. The end goal is to support better and timelier decision making, enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high quality information. Although there has been progress in this direction and many companies are introducing products towards meeting this goal, there is still a long way to go. In particular, the whole lifecycle of business intelligence requires new techniques and methodologies capable of dealing with the new requirements imposed by the new generation of BI applications. From the capturing of real-time business data to the transformation and delivery of actionable information, all the stages of the Business Intelligence (BI) cycle call for new algorithms and paradigms as the basis of new functionalities including dynamic integration of real-time data feeds from operational sources, optimization and evolution of ETL transformations and analytical models, and dynamic generation of adaptive real-time dashboards, just to name a few. The series of BIRTE workshops aims to provide a forum to discuss topics related to this emerging field and set research directions towards making business intelligence more real-time. Following the success of BIRTE 2006 held in Seoul, Korea in conjunction with VLDB 2006, BIRTE 2008 held in Auckland, New Zealand in conjunction with VLDB 2008, BIRTE 2009 held in Lyon, France in conjunction with VLDB 2009 and BIRTE 2010 held in Singapore in conjunction with VLDB 2010, submissions for research, industrial and position papers on relevant topics are encouraged. TOPICS OF INTEREST Models, Architectures and Technologies for Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Data quality and cleansing - BI over streaming data - Data capture in real-time - Performance and scalability - Real-time decision support - Tuning and management of the real-time data warehouse - Data warehouse evolution - ETL optimization - ETL for the real-time data warehouse - New architectures for real-time data ingestion and processing - Data mining and data analysis in real-time - Real-time Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) - Real-time OLAP - Visualization - Streaming text analytics Applications of Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Case studies - Pitfalls in applying BI tools to real-life problems - Lessons learned from large practical applications of real-time BI - Industrial experiences and challenges SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should follow the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0l for details).The first page must contain an abstract, a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/industry paper).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Chapter Proposals Public Sector Transformation through E-Government Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 19:55:24 -0500 From: Chris Reddick <Chris.Reddick(a)utsa.edu> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposals Submission Deadline: July 1, 2011 Full Chapters Due: October 1, 2011 Public Sector Transformation through E-Government: Experiences from Europe and North America A book Edited by Vishanth Weerakkody, Brunel University, UK and Christopher G. Reddick, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA To be published in 2012 by Routledge, an imprint of the Taylor and Francis Group Introduction and Purpose of the Book Over the last decade, governments in Europe and North America have intensified their efforts to improve efficiency of public services through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enabled transformation of government institutions. Commonly branded as electronic government (e-government), these efforts are now seen by governments as a necessity rather than an option. However, there is increasingly skepticism after initial optimism of e-government being able to provide the potential benefits as originally envisioned. Public Sector Transformation through E-Government explores the influence that e-government has on transforming public sector organizations and the resulting organizational complexities that need to be tackled as well as its impact on citizens and democratic society. Transformation through e-government involves fundamentally changing the relationship between how governments interact with citizens and their organization. This book will provide the theoretical context of the potential of e-government to transform public services and practical examples from leading public sector institutions that have attempted to use e-government to bring about transformational change, with a specific focus on Europe and North America. There are three parts to the book, namely the (1) Organizational Perspectives, (2) Citizens and Public Service Delivery, and (3) E-inclusion and E-participation. Statement of Aims The four main objectives of this book are to: 1) Understand the importance of e-government as a force for change in public sector organizations and how it has changed, or has not changed, service delivery in Europe and North American governments. 2) Understand both the benefits of e-government and transformational change for government and citizens and some of the challenges and complexities in its implementation in Europe and North America. 3) Explore the major schools of thoughts on e-government and related transformational change, and provide examples of public sector institutions through case studies that have used e-government to change their organization. 4) Understand the relationship between citizens and government and how they are effected by transformational change through e-government policies and programs. Audience for the Book The primary audience for the edited book Public Sector Transformation through E-Government will be university professors, graduate students, researchers and professionals in information systems and public administration fields. Another audience would be government officials and policy makers interested in e-government and transformational change. Recommended Topics by Theme Some recommended topics are listed below. However, submissions are encouraged from other topics that examine e-government and public sector transformation in Europe and North America. Cases studies examining a specific country or countries are particularly welcome. Part I: Organizational Perspectives. Strategic Change and E-Government Theoretical Perspectives on E-Government Evolution Public Service Transformation: Evaluating Failure and Success of E-Government Integrating E-government Information Systems into the Enterprise Architecture E-Government Implementation in Times of Change: The Role of Shared Services Moving from E-Government to T-Government Part II: Citizens and Service Delivery Theoretical Perspectives on Citizens and E-Government Service Delivery E-Government and Service Delivery Evolution in Europe and North America E-Government Adoption Citizen Satisfaction with E-Government Services Service Delivery Transformation through Web 2.0 Part III: E-Inclusion and E-Participation E-Government and Social Inclusiveness Bridging the Digital Divide and Improving Social Inclusion The Role of Intermediaries in Facilitating E-Government Diffusion Citizens and E-Participation Profiling the Last Decade of E-Government Research Submission Procedure Prospective authors should email chris.reddick(a)utsa.edu<mailto:chris.reddick@utsa.edu> a copy of a 250 word proposed chapter abstract by July 1, 2011. Their chapter proposal should clearly outline the topic that the author(s) would like to examine and how the topic relates to one of the three themes noted above. Author(s) of accepted chapter proposals will be notified by July 15, 2011. Full chapters are due by October 1, 2011. All chapters will go through a double blind peer review process. Results of the peer reviews will be announced to authors by December 1, 2011. The final copy of their chapter will be due by February 1, 2012. Important Dates Chapter Proposals Due: July 1, 2011 Notification of Accepted Chapter Proposals: July 15, 2011 Full Chapters Due: October 1, 2011 Peer Review Results: December 1, 2011 Final Revised Chapters Due: February 1, 2012 Inquiries and submissions should be emailed to chris.reddick(a)utsa.edu<mailto:chris.reddick@utsa.edu>

Fwd: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline: HCCBR - ICCBR 2011 Workshop Human Centred Case-Based Reasoning
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline: HCCBR - ICCBR 2011 Workshop Human Centred Case-Based Reasoning Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 09:58:02 +0200 From: Thomas Roth-Berghofer <Thomas(a)Roth-Berghofer.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call. The submission deadline for the ICCBR 2011 workshop on Human Centred Case-Based Reasoning has been extended to June 15, 2011. In addition, we would like to point out that we encourage submission of short papers in form of extended abstracts for the lightning talks given in the workshop. ======================================================================== Call for Papers HCCBR 2011 First International Workshop Human Centred Case-Based Reasoning Held at The 19th International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR 11), Greenwich, UK, September 12-15, 2011 Extended submission deadline: June 15, 2011 http://events.idi.ntnu.no/hccbr2011/ ======================================================================== Human-centred computing focuses on methodologies and technologies to improve the interaction within and performance of socio-technical systems. In this regard, intelligent systems are not longer considered to be black boxes that provide a full solution to a problem on their own, instead, problem solving is seen as an interactive process. Case-Based Reasoning would appear to be a natural fit for such integrated human/computer systems. A number of important questions are raised by human-centred approaches. It is important to gain a better understanding of how each part of the combined system can help to extend the capabilities of the other. It is also of interest to examine how human knowledge modelling and construction can best be supported through technology. Many of these issues are already being addressed in other disciplines, however, the question remains as to how findings from human-computer interaction, the social sciences and psychology may be integrated with the design of CBR systems. This integration ranges from psychologically plausible knowledge models over a focus on usability of fielded systems to the delivery of an attractive end user experience. Another important research topic in human centred computing considers issues of communication and, in particular, explanations. Problem descriptions, as well as other input, can be incomplete and changing. As a consequence, there has to be communication between human and software agents. Communication requires mutual understanding that can be essentially supported by explanations. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners exploring human aspects of the design, implementation, and use of CBR-systems, from a broad range of areas, to share their problems and methodologies across different research and application areas. The workshop will examine methods, mechanisms, and techniques to keep the human in the centre of attention during the whole life-cycle of an intelligent system, from initial problem description through to knowledge acquisition and modelling and on to interactive use and maintenance. ======================================================================= Topics ======================================================================= Suggested topics for contributions include, but are not limited to: * Knowledge construction and extension * Explicit user representations * Personalisation * Mixed-initiative issues * Representation of and reasoning with uncertainty * Psychological, linguistic, and sociological foundations * Socio-technical analysis and design of CBR systems * Evaluation of user aspects of CBR systems * Context awareness and context-sensitivity * Explanation generation and usage * Adaptation of results * Visualisation of results and processes ======================================================================= Format ======================================================================= The workshop will last half a day and will be organised into two main parts. The first part will consist of lightning presentations of the accepted papers. The goal of this sessions is to introduce the work of all participants. The second part will consist of two panel discussions, each dedicated to one specific issue. The suggested issues are "Analysis and Design" and "Implementation and Use", but these are subject to change dependent on the interests of the attendees and the nature of submissions. The goal of these panels is to discuss the various approaches to each of these basic issues, to identify the critical problems in need of attention and to identify the most promising future research directions. The panels will be comprised of authors of accepted paper. Each panelist is given the task to describe his take on the issue in form of a short, 5 minute kick off talk. The panel will then engage in open discussion with the floor. The workshop will be concluded with an open discussion summarising the most challenging issues and the most important lessons learned. ======================================================================= Submissions ======================================================================= Workshop submissions are electronic, in PDF format only, using the EasyChair submission system. You can reach the submission page from the HCCBR web pages as well as the ICCBR conference pages. Paper length must not exceed 10 pages in the Springer LNCS format. Guidelines and templates are available on the web at http://www.springer.de/comp/ncs/authors.html In addition to full papers, we encourage authors to submit position papers in form of extended abstracts. These short papers should not exceed 2 pages in the LNCS format. Three members of the program committee will review each submission. A review form will direct submitters to evaluate submissions for appropriateness, technical strength, originality, presentation, and overall evaluation. Papers will be published in accompanying proceedings and online. ======================================================================= Workshop Organisers ======================================================================= Jörg Cassens (Primary organiser) IMIS - Institute for Multimedia and Interactive Systems University of Lübeck, Germany Anders Kofod-Petersen Department of Computer and Information Science Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Thomas Roth-Berghofer Institut für Informatik University of Hildesheim, Germany All chairs can be contacted via mail to hccbr2011 at idi dot ntnu dot no. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Oktober 2011 Eine Kooperation der Technischen Universität Dresden, der Landeshauptstadt Dresden und dem Forschungs- und Transferzentrum für E-Government - SORAIA ****************************************************************************************************************************** Verlängerung der Einreichungsfrist bis zum 15.06.2011 ****************************************************************************************************************************** Governance im E-Government E-Government ist eines der wichtigsten Instrumente der Verwaltungsmodernisierung. In der vergangenen Dekade entwickelten sich mächtige Anwendungen, die bereits heute eine Vielfalt an E-Government-Angeboten ermöglichen. Die ernsthafte strategische Behandlung des Themas ließ länger auf sich warten. Hier ist erst in den letzten Jahren viel auf europäischer und staatlicher Ebene passiert. Auf kommunaler Ebene spürt man diese Entwicklung an dem Fakt, dass auf Strategieelementen von E-Government basierende Projekte nunmehr vornehmlich als Fachprojekte statt als Sonderprojekte gesehen werden. Beispiele hierfür sind der Neue Personalausweis, die Umsetzung der EG-Dienstleistungsrichtlinie sowie der INSPIRE-Richtlinie oder die Umgestaltung des KFZ-Wesens. E-Government ist von einem Randthema „in die Mitte“ der Verwaltung vorgestoßen und fungiert hier zunehmend als Treiber der Verwaltungsmodernisierung, aber auch als Integrationsmoment für die Themen Organisation, Informationstechnologie, Recht und Personal. Im Rahmen dieser positiven Entwicklung stellen sich in zunehmendem Maße Fragen wie folgt, die an der Konferenz thematisiert werden sollen: • Können politische Schwerpunktsetzungen mit Prioritäten der E-Government-Entwicklung in Einklang gebracht werden? • Wie kann E-Government Politik unterstützen? • Ist E-Government in der Lage, die Geschäftsmodelle der öffentlichen Verwaltungen zum Vorteil der Bürger und der Wirtschaft zu verändern? • Wie kann E-Government helfen, der steigenden Volatilität des gesellschaftlichen Umfelds adäquat Rechnung zu tragen? Die E-Government 2011, Dresdner Tagung greift diese Governance-Themen als diesjähriges Schwerpunktthema auf und möchte die unter dem Titel IT-Governance bereits seit einigen Jahren diskutierte Methoden und Modelle in den Kontext E-Government transferieren. Neben Einreichungen zu diesem Schwerpunktthema sind Einreichungen zu weiteren E-Governmentthemen ebenfalls herzlich willkommen.

Bjarne Health Care IT Track The details of this call can be found at: http://www.confenis2011.aau.dk. Call for Papers During the last years a lot of comprehensive Enterprise Systems have been implemented in the Health Care sector all around the world. Some of the implementations have been successful but more have been seen as failures. It is important to follow the implementation from a research perspective in order to understand the process and to deliver knowledge to practice for future implementations. No doubt that the potential of IT in Health Care is high. Both inside hospitals and between different players in the sector there are unexploited effects related to patient service and satisfaction, efficiency, quality and the like. But the implementation process is not that simple. A lot of factors influence the process. The Health Care IT Track at CONFENIS is a forum for presentation of research results and discussions related to design, implementation, adoption, use and management of Health IT. We welcome IS studies from a variety of research disciplines including computer science, software engineering, economics, social studies, policy making, strategy and evaluation theory. We invite research in progress as well as established and running research. Topics of interest but are not limited to: . The use of BPM Methodologies within the Health Care sector . Design of Health IT solutions . Implementation and adoption of Health IT solutions . Evaluation and assessment of Health IT solutions . Organizational impact from the implementation of Health IT . Barriers to health IT implementation and adoption . Health IT's impact on patient safety, medical errors, workflow, financial performance, and productivity . Health data standard and exchange .

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 4th ACM International Conference on Intercultural Collaboration (ICIC'12) Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 08:46:48 +0200 From: Ravi Vatrapu <rv.caict(a)cbs.dk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 4th ACM International Conference on Intercultural Collaboration (ICIC'12) March 21-23, 2012, Bengaluru, INDIA http://langrid.nict.go.jp/icic2012/ ----------------------------------- Call for Papers (CFP) ----------------------------------- This conference explores the nature of intercultural collaboration and ways to improve intercultural collaboration processes and outcomes, especially improvements enabled or facilitated by technology. The Conference emphasizes linkages and connections between cultures (not comparative or cross-cultural analysis). "Culture" is broadly construed to include national cultures but also subcultures based on gender, religion, political action, and so on. ICIC 2012 is a continuation of the former International Workshop on Intercultural Collaboration (IWIC) series, with this being the fourth conference. In practice, information and communication technologies have enabled people across cultures to interact with each other personally and through mass media, in ways thought impossible only a few decades ago. Such uses of technology have increased the pace of intercultural exposure, but not necessarily intercultural collaboration. Research about intercultural collaboration has evolved in several different disciplines. The divergent disciplinary studies have helped us understand some aspects of this interaction, but to match the pace of change in the environment we need to bring these fields together and create more synergistic understanding and application. This conference integrates the socio-cultural and socio-technical perspectives, with the objective of creating multidisciplinary dialogue and progress in this important field. General topics include collaboration support (such as natural language processing, Web, and Internet technologies), social scientific analyses of intercultural interaction in situations in which technology plays a role, and case studies that increase mutual understanding and learning in our technologically-supported multicultural world. Submissions are not required to be multidisciplinary themselves, but they should be able to contribute to a multidisciplinary dialogue. During the conference, papers will be grouped and discussions will be facilitated in a way that encourages this dialogue. It is strongly recommended that submissions include a paragraph on how the paper's focus is related to or can benefit from the perspective of other disciplines related to technology-enabled or -facilitated intercultural collaboration. Examples of relevant topics include but are not limited to: o Conceptual frameworks, methods, and measures to study intercultural collaboration and/or learning, especially which include some role for information or communications technology o Field studies of intercultural collaboration in global organizations and/or in local communities o Intercultural issues in offshore / global businesses o Laboratory studies of intercultural collaboration and technology use o Cultural differences in collaboration styles and technology use o Case studies of intercultural collaboration enabled or facilitated by technology o Computer supported intercultural collaboration o Internet, web, ubiquitous, and/or ambient technologies for intercultural collaboration and learning o The role of language, language proficiency, and language resources in intercultural collaboration, especially information and communications technology implications o Multilingual communication and communication technologies o Interoperability of language resources o Usability of technologies, including language resources, for intercultural collaboration o Issues of collaboration in development in multicultural environments o Issues of collaboration in e-governance in multicultural environments o Issues of collaboration in e-learning in multicultural environments o Issues of collaboration in digital gaming and entertainment in multicultural environments o Issues of collaboration in healthcare in multicultural environments Submissions will be considered for archival papers, to be published in the ACM Digital Library, and for non-archival papers, panels, demonstrations, and posters. Paper authors can choose non-archival publication. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Full papers are solicited on intercultural collaboration in contexts enabled or facilitated by technology. Papers can describe studies of intercultural communication and collaboration or present new technologies to assess and support intercultural interaction. Papers should be suitable for a multidisciplinary audience and relevant to issues of intercultural collaboration. All full papers will be evaluated using a double-blind review process. Authors should omit their names and affiliations from the title area of the paper and conceal references to their own prior work by referring to it in the third person (e.g., authors should say "In an earlier study, Jones and Smith found..." instead of "In an earlier study, we found..."). Papers that have not been appropriately anonymized will be returned without review. Papers should be submitted through the Precision Conference System (www.precisionconference.com/~icic). Authors will need to create a free account and then upload a pdf version of their anonymized paper to the site. Accepted full paper authors have the option of having their paper included in the ACM digital library or not. If the authors choose not to have their full paper included, then only the abstract will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Full papers to be published in the ACM Digital Library (http://portal.acm.org/) should be no longer than ten two-columned pages. Papers should be formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template and submitted in PDF format. Please see the SIGCHI author instruction page (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform) for more information and downloadable templates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Panels, Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Panels, demonstrations and late-breaking papers will not be blind reviewed. Authors should include their complete names and contact information at the top of their submitted PDF file. Panels: ICIC 2012 will feature a solicited panel and an invited panel. Individuals may submit proposals for the solicited panel. A panel consists of three or four talks on theme related to the conference. Panel submissions will not be archival, so panelists may discuss previously published work. Submissions should provide each panelist's background and contact information, as well as a brief statement of his or her position on the panel theme. Submissions should be no longer than 3 pages in length using the ACM template (see above). Panels should be submitted by email to icic2012-panels(a)khn.nict.go.jp Demonstrations: Individuals may submit proposals to present demonstrations of new technologies for intercultural collaboration. Demonstration proposals should clearly describe the motivation for the tool and how it will be demonstrated at the workshop. Demonstration descriptions will not be archival; therefore, demonstrations can include both previously published work and work that is not yet ready for publication. Submissions should be no longer than 3 pages in length using the ACM template (see above). Demonstrations should be submitted by email to icic2012-demos(a)khn.nict.go.jp Late-Breaking Papers (Work in Progress): Individuals may submit late-breaking papers to present as posters during the workshop. Late-breaking papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, if the author(s) wish(es). Late-breaking papers should be no longer than 4 two-columned pages in length, formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI template, and submitted in PDF format. Please see the SIGCHI author instruction page (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform ) for more information and downloadable templates. Late-Breaking Papers should be submitted through the Precision Conference System (www.precisionconference.com/~icic). Authors will need to create a free account and then upload a pdf version of their paper to the site. Submitted late-breaking papers, panels, and demonstrations will be reviewed by a panel of distinguished researchers in the area of intercultural communication and collaboration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission Deadline for Papers and Panels: October 1, 2011 Late submissions will not be considered.

Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and information technology,along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices - such as laptops, iPods,personal digital assistants (PDA), and cellular telephones - have stimulated the development of intelligent pervasive multimedia applications. These key technologies are creating a multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, and governmental domains. Yet many challenges remain, especially when it comesto efficiently indexing, mining, querying, searching, and retrieving multimedia data. The Multimedia - Processing and Applications 2011 (MMAP 2011) Symposium addresses several themes related to theory and practice within multimedia domain. The enormous interest in multimedia from many activity areas (medicine, entertainment, education) led researchers and industry to make a continuous effort to create new, innovative multimedia algorithms and application.As a result the conference goal is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners in order to communicate their newest and original contributions on topics that have been identified (see below). We are also interested in looking at service architectures, protocols, and standards for multimedia communications - including middleware - along with the related security issues, such as secure multimedia information sharing. Finally, we encourage submissions describing work on novel applications that exploit the unique set of advantages offered by multimedia computing techniques, including home-networked entertainment and games.However, innovative contributions that don't exactly fit into these areas will also be considered because they might be of benefit to conference attendees. ** CALL FOR PAPERS * MMAP 2011 is a major 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 MMAP 2011 Symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of multimedia domain ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. MMAP 2011 invites original previously unpublished contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST* ** Topics of interest are related to Multimedia Processing and Applications including, but are not limited to the following areas: - Image and Video Processing - Speech, Audio and Music Processing - 3D and Stereo Imaging - Distributed Multimedia Systems - Multimedia Databases, Indexing, Recognition and Retrieval - Data Mining - Multimedia in E-Learning, E-Commerce and E-Society Applications - Multimedia in Medical Applications - Multimedia Authentication and Watermarking - Entertainment and games - Multimedia Interfaces **PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION* * Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the symposium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * Accepted and presented papers will be published as paper in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore® database and DBLP. * Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of IJCSA: International Journal of Computer Science & Applications, ISSN 0972-9038. http://www.tmrfindia.org/ijcsa.html * Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file). * The total length of a paper should not exceed 10 pages (LNCS style).
