Held in conjunction with The 2013 Pacific-Asia Conference on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (PAKDD2013) URL: http://pakdd2013.pakdd.org/ ==================================================================================== ========================== Important Dates ========================== Paper Submission Deadline:January 26,2013 Author Notification:February 12, 2013 Camera-Ready Deadline:February 28, 2013 ========================== Workshop Scope ========================== Behavior and social science are increasingly recognized as a key component in business intelligence and problem-solving. Behavior and Social Informatics (BSI) has been emerged as a new scientific field that studies effective methodologies, techniques and technical tools for representing, modeling, analyzing, understanding and managing human behaviors and social characteristics. Unlike traditional behavior and social science, which mainly focuses on qualitative and explicit behavior and social appearance and drivers, BSI intends to support explicit behavioral and societal involvement through a conversion from transactional entity spaces to behavior/social feature spaces, through a better understanding of interactions between users and computing systems and better modeling of social concepts like trust, credibility, privacy, and, and influence, further genuine analysis of native behavior/social patterns and impacts, and the facilitation of deployment of information technologies in various socially-centric application domains. A typical BSI process consists of key components including behavior/social modeling and representation, behavior/social data construction, behavior/social impact modeling, behavior/social pattern analysis and utilization, and behavior/social interplay with information technologies. Some popular examples of BSI include web usage and user preference analysis, collective intelligence and crowd behavior, credit evaluation, exceptional behavior analysis of terrorist and criminals, and trading pattern analysis of investors in capital markets. Recent years have witnessed increasing research attention on behavior/social-oriented analyses including behavioral and social interaction and network, behavioral/social patterns, behavioral/social impacts, the formation of behavioral/social-oriented groups and collective intelligence, and behavioral/social intelligence emergence. This trend raises the need for launching the International Workshop on Behavior and Social Informatics (BSI).BSI’2013 aims to increase potential collaborations and partnerships by bringing together academic researchers and industry practitioners from data mining, statistics and analytics, business and marketing, finance and politics, and behavioral, social and psychological sciences with the objectives to present updated research efforts and progresses on foundational and emerging interdisciplinary topics of BSI, exchange new ideas and identify future research directions. ========================== Topics of Interest ========================== (1)Foundational Methods •Complex sequence analysis •Temporal-sequential pattern mining •Impact-oriented behavior and social mining •Event/activity/action mining •Agent-based data mining •Frequent pattern mining •Domain-driven behavior mining •Behavior data visualization •Algorithms and protocols inspired by societies (2)Behavior/Social Modeling and Representation •Computational models of behavior and social informatics •Behavior and social informatics theories •Abstract behavior model •Behavior life cycles •Behavior structure understanding •Behavior detection and extraction •Sequential behavior modeling •Parallel/concurrent behavior modeling •Distributed behavior modeling •Behavior and social dynamics •Temporal-spatial relationship modeling •Behavior and social privacy processing •Modeling social conventions and context (3)Behavior/Social Pattern Analysis •Frequent behavior/social pattern •Behavior/social classification •Behavior/social clustering •Demographic-behavioral combined pattern •Interaction pattern analysis •Stream behavior/social pattern •Cultural patterns and representation •Social media mining and intelligence •Trust, privacy, risk and credibility in social contexts •Social behavior analysis and synthesis (4)Behavior/Social Impact Analysis •Positive/negative impact modeling •Risk, benefit, cost and trust of behavior •High-impact behavior identification •Impact-transferred behavior pattern •Cause-effect analysis •Exceptional/outlier behavior •Critical event detection and prediction •Critical group detection and prediction •Social influence analysis and ranking •Social cognition and social intelligence •Impact on people activities in complex and dynamic environments •Impact of technology on socio-economic •Social influence and diffusion models of social influence •Social choice mechanism in e-society (5)Behavior /Social Emergence •Behavior/social self-organization •Behavior/social evolution •Behavior/social impact emergence •Behavior/social group emergence •Behavior/social mobility •Sentiment analysis and opinion mining and representation •Emotional intelligence and influence process •Social blog, micro-blog, Internet forum •Collaborative filtering, mining and prediction (6)Behavior/Social Network •Intrinsic mechanisms inside a network •Convergence and divergence of associated behavior •Hidden group and community formation and identification •Behavior/social network topological structures •Linkage formation and identification •Group formation and evolution •Community detection •Community behavior analysis (7)Behavior/Social Simulation •Behavior convergence and divergence •Behavior learning and adaptation •Group behavior formation and evolution •Social simulation •Behavior/social interaction and linkage •Behavior/social impact emergence •Critical event replay •Emergent event detection and signaling •Handheld/mobile social computing (8)Behavior/Social Presentation •Rule-based behavior presentation •Flow visualization •Graph-based behavior/social modeling •Sequence presentation and visualization •Dynamic/hidden group presentation •Visual behavior/social network •Social system design and architecture •Group interaction, collaboration, representation and profiling •Opinion dynamics, human and social dynamics •Markey dynamics and crowd behavior (9)Application-Oriented Behavior/Social Analysis and Mining •Web usage mining and interpretation •Customer analytics •Recommender system and personalization •Fraud detection •Misuse and anomaly detection •Human-computer interactions •AI games •Facial expression and human gesture analysis •Computational linguistics •Intelligent decision support system •Student learning behaviors in intelligent tutoring system •Criminal behavior analysis •Social networking behavior analysis •Behavior analysis in video data. •Enterprise process and workflow analysis •Design and analysis of social/collaborative Web applications •Human-Computer interaction and interface design •Socio-economic systems and applications •Social computing applications and case studies ========================== Paper Submissions ========================== Submitted papers will have a peer review by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to the conference topics, originality, significance, and clarity.

When large-scale processes are executed, e.g., on (cloud-based) service-oriented environments, process logs increasingly exhibit all typical properties of “big data”: wide physical distribution, diversity of formats, non-standard data models, heterogeneous semantics. Computing metrics over such “big logs” also requires to handle security and privacy concerns of many participants, and even to deal with non-uniform trustworthiness of log entries. New techniques are therefore required for designing, validating and deploying process metrics in this scenario, as well as for effectively dash-boarding the processes’ performance indicators. This special issue of IEEE Transaction on Service-Oriented Computing is intended to create an international forum for presenting innovative developments of process monitoring and analysis over service-oriented architectures, aimed at handling “big logs” and use them effectively for discovery, dash-boarding and mining. The ultimate objective is to identify the promising research avenues, report the main results and promote the visibility and relevance of this new area. The special issue is related to two Dagstuhl Seminars happening in 2013: - Unleashing Operational Process Mining <http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/program/calendar/semhp/?semnr=13481> - Verifiably Secure Process-Aware Information Systems <http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/programm/kalender/semhp/?semnr=13341> *TOPICS COVERED* - Process monitoring on SOA and clouds - Validation and benchmarking of process monitoring - Efficiently mining rare patterns in “big logs” - Scalable techniques for distributed process monitoring - Monitoring and analysis of cloud-based processes - Architectures and data models for synthesizing and handling “big logs” - Privacy-aware computation of process metrics - Securing log data - Log obfuscation and access control - Practical systems and tools for big log analysis and log dashboards - Applications combining process management and big data, e.g. audit *IMPORTANT DATES* Aug. 1, 2013: Submission deadline Nov. 1, 2013: Notification of the first-round review Jan. 10, 2014: Revised submission due Mar. 1, 2014: Final notice of acceptance/reject *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Manuscripts should be prepared according to the instruction of the "Information for Authors" section of the journal. Submissions should be done through the IEEE TSC journal website: <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tsc-ieee/>.

Mini track call for papers on Green Information Systems (Green IS) (http://academic-conferences.org/ecime/ecime2013/ecime13-call-papers.htm#How…) Mini track chair: Grant R. Howard, University of South Africa (UNISA), South Africa There is irrefutable scientific evidence and consensus on the negative environmental impacts caused by human activities. Given that people are completely dependent on the environment for existence and well-being, it is imperative that environmental degradation is addressed. Some of the symptoms of environmental degradation include climate change and global warming, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, water pollution and water scarcity, air and land pollution, and depleted food stocks. This Green IS mini-track focuses on leveraging Information Systems (IS) to address environmental degradation, with an emphasis on organisational strategy and management. Green IS are IS that address environmental degradation by aiming for environmental sustainability, and Green IS research exposes salient phenomena emerging from the interaction of technical IT systems and social systems. This mini track welcomes all theoretical and empirical research involving IS for organisational, environmental sustainability. This track is interested in but not limited to the following areas: · IS for Green information management and evaluation; · IS for Green strategy; · IS for Green processes and practices; · IS for Green supply chain management; · IS for energy management; · IS for environmental sustainability and competitive advantage.
