Fwd: [AISWorld] PRO-VE 2012
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Apr '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] PRO-VE 2012 Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 00:09:22 +0100 From: Lai Xu <ceciliaxu(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org C A L L f o r P A P E R S PRO-VE?12 (http://www.pro-ve.org/) 13th IFIP Working Conference on Virtual Enterprises Bournemouth, UK, 1-3 October 2012 Important dates Main conference: Abstracts submission: Now Full paper submission: 15 Apr 2012 Acceptance notice: 10 May 2012 Camera ready submission: 31 May 2012 Applied developments/Industry track: Short abstracts submission: 17 Jun 2012 Extended abstracts submission: 31 Jul 2012 Collaborative Networks in the Internet of Services Recent developments under the umbrella of Future Internet offer new concepts and mechanisms to support a new generation of advanced collaborative networks. Particularly relevant is the consolidation of the Internet of Services and its associated infrastructures and related concepts such as service ecologies and service parks. Complementarily, recent progress on Cyber Physical Systems induce new virtualization possibilities for resources and capabilities, leading to notions of Industrial Internet, Sensing Enterprise, Internet of Events, etc. Moving from services, provided by a single entity, to more complex or integrated multi-stakeholder services calls for new approaches in dynamic service composition aimed at effective support of the ?collaboration? perspective. This is a fundamental step in reducing the gap between the notions of software service, technical service, and business service. Collaborative Networks not only benefit from such new possibilities, these provide some fundamental elements supporting the structural and behavioural models, value systems and value creation, and the business perspective of collaborative networks. On the other hand, development of the so-called Services Science adds clarification to the semantics of the service concept in which context synergies with collaborative networks need to be further explored. The accumulated body of empiric knowledge and the size of the involved research community in Collaborative Networks provide the basis for leveraging the potential of new concepts and mechanisms in addressing big societal challenges and consolidating the scientific discipline on ?Collaborative Networks?. Such discipline is strongly multidisciplinary and thus PRO-VE Working Conference is designed to offer a major opportunity to mix contributions from Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Managementl and Socio-Human communities. The main theme of PRO-VE?12 focuses thus on crucial aspects to empower Collaborative Networks as a main actor of change in society. PRO-VE, as the most focused scientific / technical conference in the area, offers a major opportunity for the presentation and discussion of both latest research developments and industrial practice case studies. Following the IFIP international mission, the PRO-VE conference offers a forum for collaboration among different regions of the world. This conference continues a series of successful conferences of PRO-VE?99 (Porto, Portugal), PRO-VE 2000 (Florianópolis, Brazil), PRO-VE?02 (Sesimbra, Portugal), PRO-VE?03 (Lugano, Switzerland), PRO-VE?04 (Toulouse, France), PRO-VE?05 (Valencia, Spain), PRO-VE?06 (Helsinki, Finland), PRO-VE?07 (Guimarães, Portugal), PRO-VE?08 (Poznan, Poland), PRO-VE?09 (Thessaloniki, Greece), PRO-VE?10 (St. Etienne, France), and PRO-VE?11 (S. Paulo, Brazil). TOPICS A plurality of scientific communities in Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Management and Socio-Human sciences are encouraged to submit. Both theoretical works and sound case studies are expected. The conference will include technical papers and discussion panels. Proposals for organizing associated events, namely by project consortia focused on the area of Collaborative Networks are welcome. * Future Internet ? concepts and mechanisms - Internet of Services - Service infrastructures * Cloud Computing and Collaborative Networks - Cloud computing architectures in support of collaboration - Business approaches and models - Services ScienceModelling and formalization - Service ecologies and Service parks * Software service-oriented architecture - Service composition - Semantic service discovery * Collaborative Business Processes and Service Composition - Integrated services / value-added services - Business process and service composition * Collaborative Cyber Physical Systems - CPS Infrastructures - Sensing Enterprise and Internet of Events - Collaborative CPS societies * Behavioral issues and governance - Typologies of collaborative behaviours - Trust modelling and management - Risk and uncertainty management - Serious games in CN - Affective computing in CN * Collaborative Networks and Big Societal Challenges - Role of CNs in addressing big emerging challenges - Case studies and new directions * Application areas (examples) - Eco-Industrial Parks - Healthcare collaborative systems - Active Ageing Networks - Ambient Assisted Living networks - Distributed manufacturing networks - Educational networks - Transportation and mobility support networks - Collaborative e-government - Agribusiness networks - Disaster rescue networks Acceptance of papers is based on the full paper (up to 8 pages). Each paper will be evaluated by three members of the International Program Committee. However, prospective authors should submit a short abstract in advance, in order to check if the proposed topic fits within the conference scope. Proceedings to be published by Springer. Special issues of journals will be published with selected papers.

All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. The name of the conference (ie, SERP) that the paper is being submitted for consideration must be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the final Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee will be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees by using a double-blinded review process. In addition, all papers whose authors include a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels). Authors whose papers are accepted will be instructed to upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct typesetting. At this point, authors will be required to attest to the originality of their work (ie, declaring that no part of the work is plagiarized and the paper does not suffer from any acts of plagiarism.) Proceedings of SERP will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each published paper (science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; worldcomp tracks are selected to be among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the proceedings in which SERP was part of (PDPTA/WORLDCOMP) was included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference. In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers - these books will be composed after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after the conference. For a very few examples of such recent books and journal issues, see the links below: http://www.springer.com/life+sciences/bioinformatics/book/978-1-4419-7045-9 http://www.springer.com/life+sciences/bioinformatics/book/978-1-4419-5912-6 + a number of journal special issues published by BMC Genomics: http://www.biomedcentral.com SUBMISSION OF POSTER PAPERS: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except for the submission is limited to 2 pages. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only the author of the accepted paper wishes to do so. GENERAL INFORMATION: SERP is one of the premier research conferences in bioinformatics and computational biology. It is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other research conferences (WORLDCOMP).

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of the congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 32229 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF PROCEEDINGS: The proceedings of the congress enjoys a high number of citations.

The conference explores academically the emerging and frontier-breaking applications of new media in everyday contexts of leisure, business and organizational life. October 3rd is the main Academic MindTrek day. Due increasing popularity of the conference, we are extending the scope of Academic MindTrek 2012! The academic conference features six major themes: * Social Media * Ambient& Ubiquitous Media * Business& Media * Human-Computer Interaction (new track!) * Open Source * Digital Games SOCIAL MEDIA ?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed in the collaborative, interactive media space. AMBIENT AND UBIQUITOUS MEDIA ?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient and ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology, art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services, ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts, the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick. MEDIA BUSINESS, MEDIA PRODUCTION AND MEDIA MANAGEMENT Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of digital media. This theme focuses on business studies, policies, practices, and organizational structure of media firms. It discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business and media management issues. HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (HCI) The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities, consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access, ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems, interaction theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes to several of these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with several applied and theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience. OPEN SOURCE The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open source software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware. On the one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new business models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new kinds of technical and non-technical challenges. DIGITAL GAMES The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current trends range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to social game dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical works, empirical case studies and constructive projects. DEMONSTRATIONS The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the communities related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations is to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media demonstrators. The target audience includes members of the academic community, industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the results of their research projects with a practical implementation. ACADEMIC MINDTREK AS A CONFERENCE In addition, special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference. Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference tracks as part of the academic conference with our special registration rate. The Academic MindTrek registration includes full service such as coffees, lunches, and social gatherings. The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference, where the Academic MindTrek conference has been a part of this unique set of events comprising competitions, world famous keynote speakers, plenary sessions, media festivals, and workshops since 1997. It is a meeting place where experts and thinkers present results from their latest work regarding the development of Internet, interactive media, and the information society. MindTrek brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that are involved in the development of media in various fields, ranging from sociology and the economy, to technology.

Wikidata's prime purpose is to be used within the other Wikimedia projects, like Wikipedia, to provide well-maintained, high-quality data. The nature and requirements of the Wikimedia projects require to develop a few novel, or at least unusual features for Wikidata: Wikidata will be a secondary database, i.e. instead of containing facts it will contain references for facts. It will be fully internationalized. It will contain inconsistent and contradictory facts,in order to represent the diversity of knowledge about a given entity. The Department for Information and Communication Technology of the National Museums in Berlin proudly hosts this meeting in Berlin to perpetuate its commitment for the subject. It can be seen as continuation of the workshop about Linked Open Data at the EVA Conference Berlin, where Andreas Bienert and Thomas Tunsch as representatives of the department emphasized the important role of collaboration for cultural memory organizations.
