-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: International Workshop on Pervasive Services, Systems and Intelligence in Healthcare (PerSysInCare) Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 02:23:04 +1000 From: Agustinus Borgy Waluyo <abwaluyo(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************* Call for Papers International Workshop on Pervasive Services, Systems and Intelligence in Healthcare (PerSysInCare) https://sites.google.com/site/persysincare/ in conjunction with The 15th International Conference on Networked-Based Information Systems (NBiS-2012) http://www.takilab.org/conf/nbis/2012/ Melbourne, Australia September 26-28, 2012 ************************************************************************* ========================== IMPORTANT DATES ========================== Submission Deadline: May 15, 2012 (Final Extended) Author Notification: May 25, 2012 Author Registration: June 22, 2012 Final Manuscript: June 22, 2012 Workshop Dates: September 26 - 28, 2012 Imagine if our health status can be constantly monitored whilst doing our daily routine, imagine if we can be alerted of a subtle abnormality with our heart while we asleep, and imagine if we can be advised of a potential life-threatening disease without the need to see a physician, and finally imagine if all of these had already been possible, how many lives could have been saved. These are not myths ? in fact with the advent of pervasive computing and ambient intelligence, the notion of "anytime" and "anywhere" healthcare/medicine monitoring and management, which is coined as Pervasive Healthcare, can be realized anytime sooner. Pervasive Healthcare is predominantly supported by miniaturized mobile or embedded information and communication technologies with some degree of "intelligence" and advanced user interfaces. Pervasive Healthcare is at the forefront of research, and presents the ways in which mobile, sensor, embedded and wireless technologies can be used to deliver the potential of pervasive healthcare. This potential includes prevention, abnormalities detections, short-term monitoring (home healthcare monitoring), long-term monitoring (nursing home), personalized healthcare monitoring, mobile health monitoring, remote monitoring and diagnosis, fall-detection and management, assisted applications, drugs transportation and treatment, to name a few. In achieving this potential, it is imperative to consider the systems, applications, algorithms, logical models, solution architectures and the associated devices and communications technology. Importantly, this attempt comes with issues, requirements, and challenges that must be addressed in order to orchestrate various technological advanced devices and drive them to work intelligently and seamlessly together to eventually make systems and services that help majority of the world?s population. There are two key perspectives of Pervasive Healthcare, one being the domain of application of enabling technologies and the other being the concept that integrates healthcare more seamlessly to our everyday life. Pervasive Healthcare will essentially lead to a radical change from doctor centric to patient centric models. The objective of this workshop is to bring a high-level international forum for academics, engineers, scientists, researchers and research scholars to address the challenges and discuss opportunities to explore new research directions and develop new ideas by soliciting work in progress and completed research papers covering the state of the art in pervasive computing, systems, services, applications, technologies and intelligence for healthcare. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Pervasive healthcare systems * E-Health and IT in healthcare * Wireless and mobile health technologies * Wireless and mobile health monitoring * Medical decision support systems * Ad hoc networks for health monitoring * Assisted technology and application * Mobile mash-up for pervasive healthcare * Web-based systems for pervasive health monitoring * Context and situation awareness in healthcare * Data management and solution architecture for Pervasive Healthcare * Monitoring of mental health, medication and disability * Incentives models in wireless health monitoring * Data stream and mining in pervasive healthcare * Machine learning and pattern recognition/mining of large continuous pervasive data sets * Intelligent systems for healthcare * Pervasive healthcare management * Security and privacy in pervasive healthcare * Cognitive sensor networks for ubiquitous healthCare * Multi-sensor data fusion for body sensor networks * Wearable bio motion sensors and applications to monitor human activity * Middleware for wireless body sensor networks ========================== PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: ACM RecSys 2012 Workshop on Recommender Systems and the Social Web
by Gustaf Neumann 02 May '12

02 May '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: ACM RecSys 2012 Workshop on Recommender Systems and the Social Web Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 09:34:52 +0000 From: <dietmar.jannach(a)tu-dortmund.de> To: <dietmar.jannach(a)tu-dortmund.de> ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 4th Workshop on Recommender Systems& the Social Web in conjunction with ACM RecSys 2012 Dublin, Ireland, September 9, 2012 http://ls13-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/homepage/rsweb2012/ Submission Deadline: June 8, 2012 ====================================================================== The exponential growth of the Social Web poses both challenges and new opportunities for recommender systems research. The Social Web has turned information consumers into active contributors creating massive amounts of information. Finding relevant and interesting content at the right time and in the right context is challenging for existing recommender approaches. At the same time, social systems by their very nature encourage interaction among users and with a variety of resources, thus generating new sources of knowledge for recommender systems. Users of social media on the Web often explicitly provide personal information or implicitly express preferences through their interactions with other users or with resources (e.g. tagging, friending, rating, commenting, etc.). New application areas for recommender systems emerge with the popularity of the Social Web. Recommenders can not only be used to sort and filter Web 2.0 and social network information, they can also support users in the information sharing process, e.g., by recommending suitable tags during folksonomy development. There are also opportunities for novel recommender applications on the Social Web that directly involve humans in the recommendation process, for example, users or groups making recommendations to other users, or online multi-user games leading to recommendations. These various new sources of knowledge can be leveraged to improve recommendation techniques and develop new strategies which focus on social recommendation. This social layer can also be used as evidence on which to infer relationships and trust levels between users for recommendation generation. Recommender systems technologies can assist social systems through increasing adoption and participation and sustaining membership. Through targeted and timely intervention which stimulates traffic and interaction, recommender systems technology can play its role in sustaining the success of the Social Web. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researcher and practitioners to explore, discuss, and understand challenges and new opportunities for recommender systems and the Social Web. Original contributions are solicited in all aspects of recommendation on the Social Web, including, but not limited to the following areas: * Social network and folksonomy development: Recommending friends, tags, bookmarks, blogs, music, communities etc. * Leveraging models of user behavior on the Social Web for recommendation * Recommender systems mash-ups, intelligent user interfaces, rich media recommender systems * Collaborative knowledge authoring, collective intelligence * Topic emergence and evolution on the Social Web and their role in recommendation process * Recommender applications involving users or groups directly in the recommendation process * Exploiting folksonomies, social network information, user interactions, and communities in the recommendation process * The role of context in Social Web recommendation * Trust and reputation aware social recommendations * Semantic Web recommender systems, use of ontologies or microformats * Empirical evaluation of social recommender techniques * Case studies and novel fielded social recommender applications * Economy of community-based systems: Using recommenders to encourage users to contribute and sustain participation * Social recommender systems in the enterprise * Recommendation for groups ====================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES ====================================================================== * June 8, 2012: Paper/position statement submission due * June 22, 2012: Notification of workshop submitters * July 3, 2012: Camera-ready workshop papers due * September 9, 2012: Workshop held ====================================================================== PAPER SUBMISSION ====================================================================== We solicit short and long papers as well as research demos on all aspects of recommender systems in the Social Web.

The use of the air as propagation medium has greatly attracted both users and industry due to the numerous advantages offered by this kind of communication. Nowadays, the use of our smart phone, tablet or netbook is becoming a core part of our daily lives. Nevertheless, wireless communications capabilities are expected to be integrated in multiple types of products such as vehicles, electrical appliances, hospital devices, etc. Thus, in the days to come, we expect that wireless communications will become ubiquitous for the future computer systems. The feasibility of this scenario strongly relies on the existence of technologies enabling both mobility and security. Mobility is the cornerstone of wireless communications and an essential feature to enable the communication between devices anywhere, anytime. However, these communications need to be secured since, due to the wireless network’s nature, eavesdroppers are able to capture any communication happening near to its coverage area. Standardization organizations, aware of this challenging issue in future communication systems, are producing a set of specifications to enable secure mobility in different scenarios. For example, the IEEE 802.21 group is developing standards to assist a secure handoff in future Next Generation Networks (NGNs). This work is complemented by the IETF where it can be found a wide number of working groups dealing with mobility management and security in future heterogeneous networks, an issue that is also being tackled by the ITU-T Y-Series recommendations. The ISO and ETSI organizations are also dealing with mobility and security in other communication scenarios. For instance, the technical committee ISO TC 204 is addressing the specific needs that appear in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). This topic is also addressed by ETSI, where different work programs are also producing standards for Machine-to-Machine communications and Smart Grids, paying special attention to the specific security requirements of these scenarios. These are just a few examples of the great effort being devoted by the standardization activity, which demonstrates the importance of the subject. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive guide on solutions reached by the standardization organizations in the mobility and security fields. In particular, it will focus on either recently standardized solutions or proposals under discussion. We expect that the special issue will stimulate further related research and technology improvements in this significant subject. All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial assessment of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Contributions that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. ************ SCOPE: ************ This special issue is intended to collect existing standardization efforts on achieving secure mobility in future communication systems: Next Generation Networks (NGNs), Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M), Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Smart Grid, Mesh Networks, etc. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: • Technologies enabling secure mobility • Service access control solutions • Key distribution and management schemes • Privacy preserving mechanisms and anonymity • Trust establishment, negotiation, and management • Secure AAA infrastructures • Secure and privacy preserving handover mechanisms • Cryptographic protocols and lightweight cryptography • Secure and privacy preserving mobile location services • Cross Layer approach to security in respect to mobility • Secure and privacy preserving mobile applications and services **************************** IMPORTANT DATES: **************************** Manuscript submission deadline: Oct. 31, 2012 Notification of acceptance: Jan. 31, 2013 Submission of final revised paper: Mar. 15, 2013 Publication of special issue: (subject to CS&I Schedule) ************************ GUEST EDITORS: ************************ Dr. Georgios Kambourakis University of the Aegean, Greece Email: gkamb(a)aegean.gr Dr. Fernando Pereñíguez García University of Murcia, Spain Email: pereniguez(a)um.es Dr. Peter Mueller IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland E‐mail: pmu(a)zurich.ibm.com Dr. Tom Karygiannis National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), USA Email: tom.karygiannis(a)nist.gov ************************************* SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: ************************************* Authors should follow the Instructions to Authors available at the journals homepage http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-standards-and-interfaces/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Semantic Web Journal: Special Call for Linked Dataset Descriptions Datum: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:51:35 -0400 Von: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> Antwort an: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> An: Pascal Hitzler <pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de> Semantic Web journal Special Call for Linked Dataset Descriptions <http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/semantic-web-journal-special-call-…> Linked Data is a key enabler for the Semantic Web vision, and a decisive step towards a truly "Semantic" Web. The Semantic Web journal calls for brief papers (about 4-6 pages) containing a concise description of a Linked Dataset. The paper shall describe in concise and clear terms key characteristics of the dataset as a guide to its usage for various (possibly unforeseen) purposes. In particular, such a paper shall typically give information, amongst others, on the following aspects of the dataset. * Name, URL, version date and number, licensing, availability, etc. * Topic coverage, source for the data, purpose and method of creation and maintenance, reported useage etc. * Metrics and statistics on external and internal connectivity, use of established vocabularies (e.g., RDF, OWL, SKOS, FOAF), language expressivity, growth. * Examples and critical discussion of typical knowledge modeling patterns used. * Known shortcomings of the dataset. Papers will be evaluated along the following dimensions: Quality of the dataset, usefulness (or potential usefulness) of the dataset, clarity and completeness of the descriptions. Papers should usually be written by people involved in the generation or maintenance of the dataset, or with the consent of these people. Prospective authors must take notice of the submission guidelines posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors Deadlines: Paper submission: May 20th, 2012 Notification: Usually within 8 weeks of submission In case of questions, please contact the Editors-in-chief: Pascal Hitzler Krzysztof Janowicz contact(a)semantic-web-journal.net -- Prof. Dr. Pascal Hitzler Dept. of Computer Science, Wright State University, Dayton, OH pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de http://www.knoesis.org/pascal/ Semantic Web Textbook: http://www.semantic-web-book.org Semantic Web Journal: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net -- 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-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] III 2012 - Innovation in Information Infrastructures Workshop Datum: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:25:01 +0100 Von: Gian Marco Campagnolo <g.campagnolo(a)ed.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for papers III 2012 - Innovation in Information Infrastructures Workshop 9th - 11th October 2012 The University of Edinburgh Business School 29 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh, UK Confirmed Keynote Speakers: Eric Monteiro - NTNU Steve Sawyer - Syracuse University David Ribes - Georgetown University Geoff Walsham - University of Cambridge Submission: If you wish to present a paper at the III 2012 workshop submit a short paper (3 to 4 pages). Please submit them as email attachments (Microsoft Word files only) to this email address - i.i.i(a)ed.ac.uk - indicating in the e-mail subject the title of the workshop: III2012 Rationale: This workshop will focus on the emergence and continuing evolution of new kinds of information infrastructures (IIs) in business, the corporate world and other settings. By connecting a growing number of systems and data, Information Infrastructures support user work in everyday life, but also bring about increased organizational and technological complexity. As IIs permeate an increasingly broad range of social and institutional contexts, they generate both new kinds of challenges for information systems development, and new social, organizational and market forms as foci for social study. This is the second Edinburgh workshop on IIs in recent years. The first, in 2006, explored what were then emerging visions of the future1. Some of the computing models set out have subsequently failed to materialise as expected, whilst others not predicted have come into being. Today, we find that the ecology of players, services, software and platforms enabled by network connectivity and modern tools is increasingly complex. Information infrastructure standards and patterns of usage have been established, legitimating a growing set of user strategies, social competences and forms of expertise. In this workshop we ask how information infrastructures and related social, organizational and market forms innovate. Themes: The workshop will bring together researchers to share empirical studies, analytical approaches and methodological concerns in the understanding of Information Infrastructures innovation, and to explore what the future holds for research in this area. We invite papers on the following themes: Emerging Information Infrastructures - Social media applications that enable the sharing and collation of information between peers and across multiple sites - The further integration and expansion of corporate enterprise systems (e.g. ERP, CRM) - Patient health record infrastructures that connect up various health providers - New models for the provision of computing services (such as Software-as-a-Service and Cloud Computing) - The Internet of Things - Data analytics - New platforms that seek to leverage the time/expertise of globally distributed communities of developers (e.g. FLOSS, the Apple App store). Analytical approaches - The Social Shaping of Technology and its extension into the Biography of Artefacts perspective - Socio-material understandings of Information Infrastructures - Approaches influenced by ethnomethodology and micro-sociology - Science and Technology Studies approaches - Approaches which appreciate the “long now” and multi-sitedness of Information Infrastructures Methodological concerns - Adequacy of conventional methodologies for understanding the scale, scope and evolution of II - Questions of fieldwork focus when researching information infrastructures Important Dates: Deadline for submission of short paper: 30 June 2012 Decision of abstract acceptance: 22 July 2012 Final program available: 25 September 2012 Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of an international rated peer reviewed journal.
