-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] AAL-Workshop – Interaktiv. Sozial. Intergenerational? - Konferenz Mensch und Computer 2012 Datum: Wed, 16 May 2012 12:04:47 +0200 Von: Alexander Richter <a.richter(a)unibw.de> Antwort an: Alexander Richter <a.richter(a)unibw.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de *Call for Papers* AAL-Workshop – Interaktiv. Sozial. Intergenerational? Konferenz Mensch und Computer 2012 Sonntag, 09. September 2012, Universität Konstanz *Einreichungsfrist: 4. Juni 2012* *Hintergrund und Themenfeld* Aktuell finden in ganz Europa unter dem Begriff „Ambient Assisted Living“ (AAL) umfangreiche Aktivitäten statt, um die Lebensqualität einer zunehmend älter werdenden Gesellschaft durch die Entwicklung neuer Technologien nachhaltig zu sichern. Das Ziel dieser Bemühungen besteht darin, neue Dienstleistungen und Technologien und insbesondere Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IUK) zu entwickeln, um älteren Menschen so lange wie möglich ein selbstbestimmtes, unabhängiges und sozial integriertes Leben in ihren eigenen vier Wänden zu ermöglichen. Dabei bleiben die Potenziale von IUK-Technologien der älteren Generationen derzeit oftmals noch vorenthalten. Ältere Menschen haben heterogene Anforderungen, individuelle Lebensweisen und unterschiedliche Erfahrungen im Umgang mit Medien, die bei der Gestaltung moderner Technologien respektiert werden müssen. Insbesondere die Komplexität sozialer Medien aus dem Web 2.0-Umfeld, die Anzahl und Art der angebotenen Funktionen sowie die konkrete Gestaltung der Benutzerschnittstellen stellen einen großen Forschungsbedarf, aber auch neue Marktpotenziale im Kontext der Zielgruppe dar. *Ziele und Beitragsformen* Der Workshop wird als ganztägige Veranstaltung eine Diskussion aus einer wissenschaftlichen sowie einer praxisnahen Perspektive anregen, um interaktive, soziale und intergenerationale Themen im AAL-Kontext zu beleuchten. Neben Kurzpräsentationen in Form von Impulsvorträgen (ca. 15 Minuten Vortrag und Fragen) zu den vorher eingereichten schriftlichen Beiträgen werden wir – wie auch in vergangenen von uns auf der Mensch und Computer veranstalteten Workshops – ausreichend Zeit für (Gruppen-)Diskussionen berücksichtigen. Es können sowohl technische Entwicklungen (Design-Studien und Demonstrationen) als auch dazugehörige Studien eingereicht werden, welche diese Aspekte behandeln. Empirische Studien (auch Experimente) aus der Psychologie, CSCW, BWL, (Wirtschafts ) Informatik und Sozialwissenschaften sowie Erfahrungswerte aus der Praxis sind ebenso erwünschte Beiträge zur Einreichung. *Beitragsarten und Einreichung* - Wissenschaftliche Beiträge (max. 6 Seiten) - Praxisbeiträge (2-4 Seiten) - Systempräsentationen (2-4 Seiten) - Kurzpräsentationen in Form von Impulsvorträgen (ca. 15 Minuten) Teilnahmeanmeldungen und Beiträge (in DOC- und PDF-Format) reichen Sie bitte ein unter mailto:aal-workshop@kooperationssysteme.de *Wichtige Termine& Ablauf* 04.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] DQMST 2012: Int. Workshop on Data Quality Management and Semantic Technologies Datum: Wed, 16 May 2012 11:38:54 +0200 Von: Mouzhi Ge <mouzhi.ge(a)unibw.de> Antwort an: Mouzhi Ge <mouzhi.ge(a)unibw.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de ********************************************************** International Workshop on Data Quality Management and Semantic Technologies In conjunction with Sixth IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC) 2012 September 19-21, 2012 Palermo, Italy. http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/DQMST2012/ ********************************************************** Deadline for paper submissions: 1st June, 2012 Aims and Scope ======================= Nowadays, Semantic Web applications have been used in a broad spectrum of domains such as e-commerce, geography, biology, or the public sector. With the development of semantic technologies, a huge amount of data is being published on the Semantic Web. The published data are evolving into the ?Web of Data? that is available on web-scale for retrieval and reuse of information. Considering the significant growth of data on the Semantic Web, one of the key challenges is the management of data quality in the Semantic Web. Moreover, the Semantic Web has brought up new technologies that may be useful to improve data quality management in information systems. Over the last decade, data quality has become a critical factor to the success of organizations. Numerous business initiatives have been delayed or even cancelled due to poor data quality. Analogous to data in information systems, Semantic Web data also suffers from quality problems such as missing or false RDF data. In order to raise the level of trust in the Semantic Web data, it is valuable to investigate data quality issues in the context of the Semantic Web. Semantic technologies may provide new solution options for data quality management. Therefore we believe that in addition to applying previous data quality research on Semantic Web, there are opportunities of finding new data quality models, frameworks, methodologies, and applications by using semantic technologies. The aim of this workshop is to bring the Semantic Web and data quality research communities together and identify new innovative possibilities for addressing data quality issues with semantic technologies. Moreover, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results, case studies, best practices, evaluation techniques, and implementation tools that are related to data quality management within Semantic Web. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list: ================== Data quality management approaches in Semantic Web Ontology-based data quality management Quality of Linked Data Semantic data integration Data cleansing in Semantic Web Natural language processing for data quality management Provenance-aware data quality SPARQL and data quality assessment Measuring data quality with semantic technologies Improving quality of RDF data Data governance for Semantic Web Semantic data quality model and application Information value in Semantic Web Semantic Web applications for data quality management Frameworks that assess, analyze, and improve semantic data quality Paper submissions ================= Regular Papers should be no longer than eight (8) pages, Short Papers should be no longer than four (4) pages. All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three experts and reviews will be returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. Please only submit original material where copyright of all parts is owned by the authors declared and which is not currently under review elsewhere.

Additionally, the upcoming social semantic web also integrates the user interactions in social networking environments. Mining in ubiquitous and social environments is thus an emerging area of research focusing on advanced systems for data mining in such distributed and network-organized systems. It also integrates some related technologies such as activity recognition, Web 2.0 mining, privacy issues and privacy-preserving mining, predicting user behavior, etc. In typical ubiquitous settings, the mining system can be implemented inside the small devices and sometimes on central servers, for real-time applications, similar to common mining approaches. However, the characteristics of ubiquitous and social mining are in general quite different from the current mainstream data mining and machine learning. Unlike in traditional data mining scenarios, data does not emerge from a small number of (heterogeneous) data sources, but potentially from hundreds to millions of different sources. As there is only minimal coordination, these sources can overlap or diverge in any possible way. Steps into this new and exciting application area are the analysis of this new data, the adaptation of well known data mining and machine learning algorithms and finally the development of new algorithms. GOALS AND AUDIENCE ================== The goal of this workshop is to promote an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working in the fields of ubiquitous computing, social semantic web, Web 2.0, and social networks which are interested in utilizing data mining in an ubiquitous setting. The workshop seeks for contributions applying state-of-the-art mining algorithms on ubiquitous and social data. Papers focusing on the intersection of the two fields are especially welcome. In short, we want to accelerate the process of identifying the power of advanced data mining operating on data collected in ubiquitous and social environments, as well as the process of advancing data mining through lessons learned in analyzing these new data.

It includes socio-technical activities at work, in the home, in education, in healthcare, in the arts, for socializing and for entertainment. To support diverse and high-quality contributions, CSCW employs a two-phase review process and does not impose an arbitrary length limit on papers submissions. Please see the conference website for details about the review process and aligning paper contribution and length. Papers co-chairs: Loren Terveen, University of Minnesota& Cliff Lampe, University of Michigan papers2013(a)cscw.acm.org WORKSHOPS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_workshop.html Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of CSCW research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. Workshops may focus on any aspect of CSCW theory or practice, established concerns or new ideas; however, radical new ideas expected to draw a sufficient number of participants are very much encouraged! The goal of a workshop is to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions. Workshops co-chairs: Jeremy Birnholtz, Cornell University& Andy Crabtree, University of Nottingham workshops2013(a)cscw.acm.org VIDEOS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_video.html The CSCW Videos Program provides researchers, designers, and practitioners with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive fashion in front of an expert audience. Videos are ideally suited to demonstrate the practical application of research results and the functionality of CSCW systems, visualize the outcome of research and development projects, or describe inspiring visions of future systems that are grounded in today′s reality. The Videos Program provides a venue to present work that involves dynamic interaction, ranging from demonstrations of new systems to complex aspects of group communication and work practice. Videos co-chairs: Sasa Junuzovic, Microsoft Research& Carman Neustaedter, Simon Fraser University videos2013(a)cscw.acm.org DEMONSTRATIONS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_demo.html CSCW 2013 demonstrations present implementations of new CSCW systems and concepts. The peer-reviewed demonstrations allow conference participants to view novel and noteworthy CSCW systems in action, discuss the systems with those who created them, and try them out. Appropriate demonstrations include applications, technologies, and research prototypes, and may showcase work that has been or is being published at CSCW or elsewhere. Demonstrations can also serve to showcase novel commercial products not previously described in the research literature. Demonstrations should be interactive and provide attendees a hands-on experience. The demo forum is not an opportunity for marketing or sales presentations. Presenters must have been directly involved with the development of the system and be able to explain the unique and novel contributions of the system. Demos co-chairs: Dan Cosley, Cornell University& Travis Kriplean, University of Washington demos2013(a)cscw.acm.org INTERACTIVE POSTERS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_poster.html CSCW 2013 will include an interactive poster category for late-breaking and preliminary results, smaller results not suitable for a full or short paper, innovative ideas not yet validated through user studies, early student research, and other research best presented in an interactive forum. Posters will be presented in a special Poster Session where researchers will interact directly with conference attendees. The posters will remain up throughout the remainder of the conference. Posters co-chairs: Gary Hsieh, Michigan State University& Chen Zhao, Microsoft posters2013(a)cscw.acm.org PANELS http://cscw.acm.org/participation_panel.html Panels are a great way to generate debate and raise new and interesting issues at CSCW. With panels we want to provide a forum for discussing provocative, controversial, innovative, emerging, boundary-spanning and boundary-breaking issues. While paper sessions provide detailed discussions of work recently completed, panels provide an opportunity to explore what is on the horizon — or what is already here but not adequately recognized, acknowledged or discussed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for papers, WITS 2012, December 15-16, 2012 Datum: Tue, 15 May 2012 20:59:03 +0200 Von: Aalst, W.M.P. van der <W.M.P.v.d.Aalst(a)tm.tue.nl> Antwort an: Aalst, W.M.P. van der <W.M.P.v.d.Aalst(a)tm.tue.nl> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *WITS 2012 Call for Papers* *22^nd Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems in Orlando, Florida * *December 15-16, 2012* Conference Theme: Digital Innovation for Sustainability Conference URL: http://site.warrington.ufl.edu/wits/ Electronic Submission System: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wits2012 The 22^nd Annual Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems will be held in Orlando, Florida, on December 15-16, 2012, just prior to the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and interaction among scholars with research interests in the cutting edge issues of information technologies and systems. The theme of the conference is "Digital Innovation for Sustainability*.*" Sustainability is the capacity of systems to endure over time. Even though this definition is intended mostly for ecosystems, it obviously extends to systems created and impacted by humans such as information systems. Unconstrained human economic development has lead not only to destruction of delicate ecosystems, but in the end has contributed to volatile economic cycles and economic damage from natural disasters. Information technology is both a contributor and a potential solution to the challenges of managing sustainable development. Better decision support for public policy planners, businesses and consumers can lead to better long-term decisions. Examples are numerous and include inefficiencies in power systems which can be identified by data mining tools and solutions which can be generated by optimization. Virtualization, used properly, can reduce the carbon footprint of existing information systems. Understanding the economic and environmental impact of information systems, can lead to greater sustainable adoption, use, and retirement of information systems and technologies. Since it is a workshop, WITS actively solicits papers describing novel research ideas that may be at a relatively early stage of development. Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Agent-based Systems Agile System Development Cloud Computing Collaboration and Recommender Systems Computational Ontology Conceptual Modeling Databases and Information Integration Data, Text and Web Mining Data Warehousing & OLAP E-Business and E-Commerce Enterprise Resource Planning Enterprise Application Integration Enterprise Systems and Architecture Green IT Grid Computing Healthcare Information Systems and Technology Human-Computer Interface Information Personalization Technology Information Quality, Privacy, and Security Intellectual Property Protection Intelligent Systems and Technologies Knowledge Management Technologies Mobile Commerce and Wireless Technologies Multi-Media Computing Peer-to-peer Technologies Process management and mining Recommender Systems Resource and organizational modeling Search Engines Security techniques for information systems Semantic Web Service-Oriented Architecture and Web Services Supply Chains and IT Systems Analysis and Design Systems to Support Collaboration & Negotiation IT Infrastructure for Evolving Business Models Virtualization Web-Based Information Systems Workflow Management Systems * * ** *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS* Submitted research papers are limited to 6 single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, 8.5" by 11" pages (including tables, figures, and references and 1" margins on all sides). All submissions will be subject to double blind review. Selection for presentation at the workshop and publication in the proceedings will be based on originality, contribution to the field, and workshop interest. Research paper submissions must be sent in electronic form using the WITS 2012 submission system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wits2012). The electronic submission system, as well as instructions, will be available in July 2012. Research prototypes, and instructional technology submissions should be sent directly to the prototype demo chair, Kaushik Dutta (duttak(a)nus.edu.sg <mailto:duttak@nus.edu.sg>).Prototype submissions should include links to any associated software or demo. We will accept instructional technology submissions that emphasize innovative use of IT in the classroom as well as innovations in teaching IS/IT topics. All accepted prototypes and instructional technology papers will be presented as posters during the workshop. *PANEL ORGANIZATION* In the last two decades many new business ventures related to information technology have launched. Many of the innovative ideas in IS research, including sustainability-related topics, have the potential to start new businesses. The panel's charge is to discuss entrepreneurship opportunities in converting IS research to viable businesses. We welcome additional panel proposals. Please submit your panel proposals directly to the program co-chairs. ** *JOURNAL PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY* Authors of selected workshop papers and research prototypes will be invited to submit complete versions of their research for review and possible publication in a special issue of /ACM Transactions on Management Information Systems/ (ACM TMIS, http://tmis.acm.org/).
