Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the proceedings that IPCV was part of were included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. 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. Note that authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will have their papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final Edition of the conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference (the conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship the printed proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of the conference proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a number of sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book. Submission of Poster Papers: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster for IPCV". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only if the author of the accepted poster wishes to have his/her poster published as a 2-page extended abstract.) 32229 GENERAL INFORMATION: IPCV conference is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other federated research conferences (World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing).

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: RecSysTEL - Recommender Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning Datum: Mon, 28 May 2012 16:55:06 +0200 Von: Olga Santos <ocsantos(a)dia.uned.es> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ++apologies for cross-posting++ ************************************************************* FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Recommender Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning (RecSysTEL 2012) Saarbrucken, Germany, 18-21 September 2012 Organised jointly with the European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2012) http://adenu.ia.uned.es/workshops/recsystel2012 ************************************************************* AIM& TOPICS Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) aims to design, develop and test socio-technical innovations that will support and enhance learning practices of both individuals and organisations. It is an application domain that generally addresses all types of technology research& development aiming to support of teaching and learning activities, and considers meta-cognitive and reflective skills such as self-management, self-motivation, and effective informal and self-regulated learning. Information retrieval is a pivotal activity in TEL, and the deployment of recommender systems has attracted increased interest during the past years as it addresses the information overload problem in TEL scenarios with a low cost approach. Recommendation methods, techniques and systems open an interesting new approach to facilitate and support learning and teaching. There are plenty of resources available on the Web, both in terms of digital learning content and people resources (e.g. other learners, experts, tutors) that can be used to facilitate teaching and learning tasks. The challenge is to develop, deploy and evaluate systems that provide learners and teachers with meaningful guidance in order to help identify suitable learning resources from a potentially overwhelming variety of choices. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners that are working on topics related to the design, development and testing of recommender systems in educational settings as well as present the current status of research in this area. Overall, it aims to outline the rich potential of TEL as an application area for recommender systems, as well as expose participants to the challenges of developing such systems in a TEL context. Topics include but are not limited to: * User tasks to be supported by recommender systems in TEL * Explanation and visualizations of recommendations * Open user models for TEL recommender systems * Recommendation approaches based on social (meta) data * Requirements for the deployment of TEL recommender systems * Data sets for TEL recommender systems * Recommendation algorithms and systems for TEL * Transfer of successful algorithms and systems from other application areas * Evaluation criteria and methods for TEL recommender systems * Experiences from actual implementation in teaching, learning and/or community building IMPORTANT DATES 30 June 2012: Submissions 16 July 2012: Notifications 1 August 2010: Camera-ready of accepted papers 18-19 September 2012: RecSysTEL Workshop in Saarbrucken SUBMISSIONS The Workshop accepts a variety of submission types: * Full papers: 12 pages * Short papers: 6 pages * System/service demos: 2 pages * TEL Data sets: 2 pages (and if possible, data set file/URL) Papers should be original and not previously submitted to other venues.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Doctoral Consortium CONFENIS 2012 Datum: Tue, 29 May 2012 09:44:43 +0200 Von: Geert Poels <Geert.Poels(a)UGent.be> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 2nd Call for Participation: CONFENIS 2012 Doctoral Consortium Ghent, 17-19 September 2012 -- http://www.managementinformatics.ugent.be/confenis2012 Doctoral consortium of the 6th International Conference on Research and Practical Issues in Enterprise Information Systems (CONFENIS 2012), Ghent, 19-21 September 2012 – http://www.confenis2012.be Recognized by the Ghent University Doctoral Schools Board as a specialist PhD course (equivalent to 3 ECTS). Participation in all activities (see program) is required for receiving the PhD course certificate. I. CONFENIS 2012 CONFENIS is the annual international academic conference of the IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing – http://www.ifip.org) devoted to enterprise information systems. Enterprise information systems refer to a wide array of applications of IT systems that ranges from cross-departmental to cross-organisational systems. Such systems provide the information and controls required for directing, planning, running, measuring, and monitoring the activities of single or multiple (i.e., chains or networks of) enterprises. Typical examples of enterprise information systems are Accounting Information Systems (AIS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems, Business Intelligence (BI) systems, and Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). Following last year’s CONFENIS doctoral consortium, Design Science in Enterprise Information Systems Research is the central theme of the doctoral consortium. The aim is to explore the Design Science approach to Information Systems research, integrating conceptual design thinking with information systems engineering research. All PhD students interested in learning more about Design Science research are welcome to apply for admission to the CONFENIS 2012 Doctoral Consortium. Participation is limited to 20 students. In case more than 20 candidates have applied for admission at the deadline (June 15, 2012) then participants will be selected based on the quality (i.e., relevance, soundness, clarity and maturity) of their research proposals (see admission procedure) and the potential benefit of participation to the student’s doctoral research. Participants in the consortium should currently be enrolled as a PhD student at a university and conduct research in the area of Information Systems. It is not a prerequisite that students use or intend to use Design Science as part of their PhD project. All participants are required to register for the CONFENIS 2012 conference. PhD students can register at a strongly reduced tariff of 295 Euros (see http://www.confenis2012.be). The Doctoral Consortium itself is free for PhD students enrolled at Flemish Universities (as the cost for these students is covered by their doctoral schools). Other PhD students pay an additional 100 Euros for participation in the Doctoral Consortium. This fee covers all distributed materials, lunches (2), welcome reception and social event, and the doctoral consortium diner. The doctoral consortium sessions will be held at the premises of the faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Ghent University (see http://www.feb.ugent.be) II. Format and program The doctoral consortium consists of a mix of lecturing and tutoring sessions. The doctoral consortium staff will teach a number of topics with respect to Design Science fundamentals ranging from the philosophical underpinning of the paradigm (e.g., ontology, epistemology, …) to the concretisation of the methodology (e.g., research design, research process, …) and experiences in applying it to Information Systems research (e.g., good practices, lessons learned, …). Staff includes recognized Design Science research experts like Professor Robert Winter (University of St. Gallen, Switzerland), Professor Roel Wieringa (University of Twente, The Netherlands) and Professor Guido Geerts (University of Delaware, USA). A reader with Design Science research in Information Systems must-reads will be compiled and used as background material for these lectures. During the tutoring sessions, the doctoral research proposals of participants are presented, analysed and discussed with the aim of providing feedback and suggestions from experts and peers. Students will be allocated to groups of each maximally 7 students and 2 – 3 doctoral consortium staff members (i.e., tutors).

This 11th edition of the International Semantic Web conference introduces the Evaluations and Experiments Track. Its goal are to consolidate research material and to gain new scientific insights and results by providing a place for in-depth experimental studies of significant scale. It aims at promoting experimental evaluations in Semantic Web/Linked Data research trying to create a research cycle between theory and experiments as in other sciences (e.g., physics). Papers in this track can fit in different categories: Experimental studies comparing a spectrum of approaches to a particular problem and, through extensive experiments, providing a comprehensive perspective on the underlying phenomena or approaches. Analyses of experimental results providing insights on the nature or characteristics of studied phenomena, including negative results. Result verification focusing on verifying or refuting published results and, through the renewed analysis, help to advance the state of the art. Benchmarking, focusing on datasets and algorithms for comprehensible and systematic evaluation of existing and future systems. Availability of experimental datasets is highly important (if not compulsory). In addition, these papers will be more specifically judged on the basis of their: Precise description of control experimental conditions Reproducibility Applicability range (broad coverage results being better than narrow applicability). Special attention will be paid to reproducibility. Hence, experimental settings will have to be extensively described so that the results could be independently reproduced and counter-experiments could be designed. The experimental approach is based on systematic scientific methods used in many disciplines. http://www.experiment-resources.com/ provides a good collection of methods, experiment design strategies, and resources.
