-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: AAAI 2012 Workshop on Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization and Recommendation (ITWP 2012) Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 06:53:12 +0000 From: <dietmar.jannach(a)tu-dortmund.de> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 10th Workshop on Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization& Recommendation (ITWP 2012) In conjunction with AAAI 2012 July 22/23, 2012 - Toronto, Canada http://ls13-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/homepage/itwp2012/ Submission Deadline: April 15, 2012 ====================================================================== Web Personalization and recommendation systems have been steadily gaining ground as essential components of today's Web based applications, including in e-commerce and customer relationship management, in the delivery of business services, in providing support for Web search and navigation, and in reducing cognitive overload in information rich interactive social Web applications. The proliferation of Web 2.0 applications has allowed users to go beyond simple consumers of information and instead actively participate in shaping collaborative environments in which users, resources, and user-provided content are all networked together. This, in turn has increased the need for more intelligent and personalized services that help users interact with and navigate these complex information spaces. These include a new generation of recommender systems that integrate multiple online channels, are more scalable, are more adaptive, can better handle user interactivity, and are more adep t at user preference elicitation. To achieve this, such applications must rely on intelligent techniques from AI, machine learning, Web mining, statistics, and user modelling in order to leverage all available data, including the usage and click-stream data (reflecting user behaviour), the content and meta-data associated with resources, semantic domain knowledge, user profile information, and underlying network structures. Efficient and intelligent techniques are needed to mine this data for actionable knowledge, and to effectively use the discovered knowledge to enhance the users' experience. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners From Web Mining, Web Personalization, Recommender Systems, and User Modeling communities in order to foster an exchange of information and ideas and to facilitate a discussion of current and emerging topics related to the development of intelligent Web personalization and Recommender Systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST We invite original contributions in a variety of areas related to Web personalization and Recommender Systems: * User model representation and preference elicitation: Knowledge acquisition strategies, user context modeling, cross-domain models, privacy, cognitive models for Web navigation, self-adaptation, utility function elicitation from user interaction, user modeling on the Social Web; * Architectures, systems and enabling technologies: personalized search, scalability of personalization and recommendation techniques, intelligent browsing and navigation, adaptive hypertext systems, hybrid and conversational recommendation systems, context-awareness, Data/web mining for personalization, Link Analysis and Graph Mining, automated techniques for ontology generation, learning, and acquisition; machine leaning techniques for information extraction, Social Web, and the Semantic Web; * User and algorithm centric evaluation methodologies, metrics, and case studies PAPER SUBMISSION AND PARTICIPATION Papers must be formatted according to the AAAI 2012 style guide (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php) and submitted electronically as PDF to itwp2012(a)ls13.cs.uni-dortmund.de.

GI-Workshop ISOS 2012 Informationssysteme mit Open Source im Rahmen der GI-Jahrestagung "Informatik 2012" in Braunschweig 16.-21.09.2012 **************************************************************************** Informationssysteme mit Open Source -------------------------------------------------------- Die Entwicklung von Informationssystemen (IS) auf der Basis von Open Source (OS) Produkten ist in der Wirtschaft, bei Behörden und in Wissenschaft und Forschung gängige Praxis. Viele Forschungseinrichtungen stellen ihre Systeme als OS-Systeme zur Verfügung, und OS-Systeme beeinflussen Spezifikationen in den Bereichen Web, Java und andere. Viele größere Unternehmen haben mittlerweile eigene Abteilungen, die sich mit Fragestellungen zu OS-Software beschäftigen. Die Chancen des Einsatzes von OS-Produkten haben jedoch noch nicht alle IT- Verantwortlichen erreicht. Das liegt u. a. an fehlenden Informationen über bereits verfügbare Systeme und Produkte, einer allgemeinen Unsicherheit im Umgang mit OS-Lizenzen sowie an software-technischen Fragestellungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Einsatz von OS-Produkten. Auf dem Workshop ISOS 2012 sollen sämtliche Aspekte des Einsatzes von OS-Produkten in der Entwicklung von Informationssystemen thematisiert und insbesondere bestehende Problemfelder und Unsicherheiten aufgezeigt und analysiert werden.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Final CFP: Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises Datum: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:41:59 +0000 Von: Padmal K Vitharana <padmal(a)syr.edu> An: 'AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Final Call for Papers for the AMCIS 2012 Mini Track on Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises* *(part of Systems Analysis and Design (SIG SAND) Track)* *AMCIS - Americas Conference on Information Systems, Seattle, Washington, USA, August 9-12, 2012* Enabled by the recent advances in web services, business process automation, and service-oriented architectures, organizations around the world have embarked on the development of the next-generation enterprise infrastructures, referred to by some as "Service-Oriented Enterprises". Essentially, service-oriented enterprises are organizations that take advantage of service-oriented computing to support agile enterprises. Gartner has defined enterprise agility as "the ability of an organization to sense environmental change and respond efficiently and effectively to that change." Currently, there are many open research issues on the analysis and design for the service-oriented enterprises that need attention from the MIS community. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in presenting their work in this area. The suggested topics are found in, although not limited to, the following list: ·*Analysis and design of business services* ·*Best practices in analysis and design for service-oriented enterprises* ·*Business modeling in service-oriented enterprises* ·*Centrality of information in service-oriented enterprises* ·*Componentization of businesses* ·*Enterprise services for business process automation* ·*Innovative paradigms and techniques in support of flexible business processes* ·*Language issues in service-oriented computing* ·*Modeling of process services* ·*Modular service composition (or enterprise service mash-ups).* ·*Service modeling and catalog management* ·*Service-oriented system analysis and design techniques* ·*Service reuse in application development* ·*Web service composition in support of collaboration* Important Dates First week of January, 2012: Submission system opens http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 March 1, 2012: Full paper submission deadline April 2, 2012: Authors notified of paper acceptance decision April 20, 2012: Camera-ready papers due FURTHER INFORMATION: Conference website: http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ Track chairs: Padmal Vitharana padmal(a)syr.edu <mailto:padmal@syr.edu> Syracuse University Syracuse, NY 13244 http://myweb.whitman.syr.edu/padmal Kumar Bhaskaran bha(a)us.ibm.com <mailto:bha@us.ibm.com> IBM Research Hawthorne, NY http://www.ibm.com Hemant Jain jain(a)uwm.edu <mailto:jain@uwm.edu> University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI 53211 http://www.sba.uwm.edu/jain_h/ --- Padmal Vitharana Associate Professor Management Information Systems Syracuse University Room 506 Whitman School of Management 721 University Avenue Syracuse, NY 13244-2450 Email: padmal(a)syr.edu <mailto:padmal@syr.edu> Phone: (315) 443-3132 Fax: (315) 443-5457 http://myweb.whitman.syr.edu/padmal/

Fwd: [AISWorld] Final CfP - AMCIS 2012: Minitrack on Negative Cognitions About IS
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final CfP - AMCIS 2012: Minitrack on Negative Cognitions About IS Datum: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 07:48:42 -0600 Von: Lockwood, Nick <LockwoodN(a)mst.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: HCI Studies in Information Systems (SIGHCI) Mini-track: Negative Cognitions About Information Systems There is an increasingly persistent dichotomy in the way that emerging Information Systems (IS)-enabled patterns for work and collaboration are affecting IS users. On the one hand, they enable vast improvements in processes and decisions. On the other, they lead to negative cognitions and outcomes such as stress, frustrations and information overload. There has been a recent surge of interest in negative cognitions associated with using IS related, for example, to technostress, intrusiveness and deceptiveness, credibility and deception, addiction to technology use, and distrust. These studies explore various facets of detrimental conditions that users of IS experience-conditions that, given the ubiquity of IS use, are potentially pervasive. The objective of this mini-track is to develop theoretical insight and understanding on HCI topics and issues that address this "troubling" side of IS. Submissions addressing all aspects of this topic are welcome. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We particularly welcome papers that apply theories and perspectives from different disciplines (e.g., theories of stress from psychology, information overload and interruption from information science, and work-life balance from industrial management) to examine various aspects of this phenomenon. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: conceptualizations of troubling or negative interactions between IS and users, such as interruptions, information overload, constant connectivity to work-related information processing, addiction to IS use, and difficulties in learning how to use constantly changing technologies and applications. 2. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: outcomes from the above interactions such as stress, difficulty in concentrating, multitasking, user dissatisfaction, effects on productivity and performance, disruption of work-life balance, over-dependence on IS. 3. Any other HCI topics related to negative affective responses and the cause and effect relationships between cues embedded in system designs and/or methods that can mitigate or exacerbate those negative responses. IMPORTANT DATES: March 1, 2012 - Deadline for paper submissions April 6, 2012 - Notification of acceptance April 25, 2012 - Final copy due INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012.

The smart applications in the FI are expected to bring people, things and data together in innovative ways. Smart FI applications will come from diverse areas such as entertainment, health, utilities, transport, mobility and logistics. The FI will encompass the "Internet of Content", the "Social Internet", the "Internet of Services", the "Internet of Things" and other concepts that are being proposed. However, a simple analysis of the anticipated smart applications and FI concepts reveals a set of conflicting requirements. Hence, shaping the Future Internet to serve such diverse needs and capabilities is a challenging task. The aim of the 2012 Future Internet Symposium is to discuss the requirements of novel FI application domains, the problems of the current Internet in addressing those requirements, proposed solutions to these problems, and the steps necessary to make the smart FI a reality. The interdisciplinary symposium brings together scientists and engineers from academia and industry and from various disciplines to exchange and discuss their ideas and approaches for making the smart Future Internet happen.
