-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP: SoHuman 2013 @ACM WebScience 2013 - 2nd Workshop on Social Media for Crowdsourcing and Human Computation Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 22:22:35 +0100 From: Jasminko Novak <j.novak(a)eipcm.org> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ********************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************* SoHuman 2013 – 2nd International Workshop on Social Media for Crowdsourcing and Human Computation, May 1, 2013, Paris, Collocated with ACM Web Science 2013 & ACM HyperText'13 & ACM ECRC '13 http://eipcm.org/sohuman2013 ********************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************** GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP This workshop invites researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to explore the challenges and opportunities of applying social media to designing novel applications of collective intelligence, with a special focus on crowdsourcing and human computation. We are particularly interested in contributions that consider crowdsourcing and human computation in the broader context: as specific instantiations of collective intelligence and social computing on the web. How can the experience gained from the design of crowdsourcing applications inform the development of new approaches to collective intelligence? And vice versa: what lessons from the broader domain of collective intelligence can inform the design of new kinds of systems for crowdsourcing and human computation? Both crowdsourcing and human computation consider humans as distributed task-solvers, leveraging human reasoning to solve complex tasks that are easy for individuals but difficult for purely computational approaches (human computation) or for traditional organizational work arrangements (crowdsourcing). Though rarely explicitly addressed as such, social media often provide the enabling methods and technologies for the realization of such models. While centralized platforms are at the core of “traditional” approaches to both crowdsourcing (e.g. mTurk) and collective intelligence (e.g. Wikipedia), attention is increasingly turning to harnessing existing social platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) that already gather huge numbers of users into webs of social relationships. Such Social Clouds pose both chances and challenges for new kinds of approaches to crowdsourcing and human computation in particular and to collective intelligence in general. On one hand, the intricate social relationships allow the development of new kinds of task routing mechanisms (e.g. identifying the best or most trusted participants for a specific task). Incentive structures are intrinsically social and tend to reflect community-like phenomena (e.g. the reputation economy), thus differing strongly from single-user approaches in classical crowdsourcing. This is already leading to early experiments such as expert-based crowdsourcing or solutions for task- injection across distributed social platforms. On the other hand, the design of such socially distributed computing structures relates the fields of crowdsourcing and human computation to the lessons from a broader class of collective intelligence platforms and applications. The need to interrelate these fields is reflected in questions such as: • How can we design effective incentive systems for large-scale participation of human users in structured collective intelligence systems? • How do we design tasks at different levels of complexity that can be solved reliably through a composition of individual contributions? • How can we use intricate webs of social relationships of existing social platforms for new models of coordination in distributed task-solving? • How can distributed social media enable the design of new classes of crowdsourcing applications (e.g. using social network analysis for new ways of task- routing)? • How can the comparison of lessons from distributed problem-solving in human computation and community-based approaches lead to novel classes of collective intelligence applications? We are especially interested in applications and investigations in a range of domains such as collective action and social deliberation, multimedia search and exploration, enterprise and medical applications, cultural heritage, social data analysis or citizen science. TOPICS (include but are not limited to): - Social media in collective intelligence systems - Use cases and applications of social media to crowdsourcing and human computation - Social incentive models for crowdsourcing and human computation - Social-network analysis for crowdsourcing and human computation - Applications of social media visualization to collective intelligence applications - Social coordination in crowdsourcing and human computation - Social search and human computation - Trust models for collective intelligence and crowdsourcing - Semantic modeling in crowdsourcing and human computation - Expert-based crowdsourcing - Influence metering and social trust models - Expertise-inference techniques and their application to task routing - Reputation systems for human computation - Quality assurance in distributed human intelligence tasks - Social sensing in crowdsourcing and human computation - Domain-specific challenges in crowdsourcing and human computation - Social sensing in human computation approaches - Use cases and applications of social media for human computation SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The workshop will accept: • Regular research papers (6-8 pages) • Applications / Demonstrators (4 pages) • Position papers (2-4 pages) All submissions must be formatted according to ACM Web Science submission guidelines (http://www.websci13.org/submission/) and submitted through the SoHuman 2013 EasyChair system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sohuman2013 All submissions will be reviewed in a peer-review process by at least two members of the program committee.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Special Session on the Web of Data (DATAWEB) Datum: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:48:42 +0000 Von: Yannis Charalabidis <yannisx(a)epu.ntua.gr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers - Special Session on the Web of Data (DATAWEB) Production and deployment of Open, Linked and Big Data http://dataweb.medialab.ntua.gr/ To be held in conjunction with the 17th Panhellenic Conference on Informatics (PCI 2013), September 19-21, 2013, Thessaloniki, Greece, http://pci2013.epy-mathra.gr/ Proceedings to be published by ACM Organizers: Ioannis Anagnostopoulos, University of Central Greece, Greece Yannis Charalabidis, University of the Aegean, Greece Agisilaos Papantoniou, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Michalis Vafopoulos, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Special Session description: The evolution of technologies now effectively supports the creation and existence of the Web of Data. However, the production and mass consumption of data have been a matter of debate over methodologies that should be employed in the technological and business domain. Data over the Web can be seen under three major perspectives. One that deals with their “openness”, one that addresses their interconnection and one that discusses new ways of managing their performance. This special session aims to stimulate a multi-origin discussion about data production and deployment within the Web corpus. It is focused on new models, languages and applications that exploit the Web of data in order to act as a global repository of interlinked resources. We seek original articles balanced between theoretical and practical approaches in research aspects and/or applications that utilize either Open, Linked and Big Data. We further encourage the submission of contributions that discuss and address exploitation issues of data in different disciplines. Submitted papers may deal with methods, models, case studies, practical experiences and technologies, but also with work in progress solutions. The thematic categories are divided in three parts: 1. Open Data Definition@wikipedia: “Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. The goals of the open data movement are similar to those of other "Open" movements such as open source, open content, and open access.” Topics of interest cover the following areas (but are not limited to): ● Business models, marketplaces and crowdsourcing platforms for Open Data ● Policies, strategies for the development of data ecosystems ● Country/nationwide challenges and opportunities ● Privacy and provenance issues ● Reliability and trustworthiness of Open Data ● Case studies for domain/sector-specific open data strategies (smart cities, environmental and geospatial research, social media) ● Methodologies for open data production, cleansing and utilization ● Heterogeneity, quality assurance, vocabulary repair and maintenance ● Benchmarks and metrics in Open Data usage ● Open Data usability, user interaction and case studies with lessons learned 2. Linked Data >From the moment they were officially introduced in 2008, Linked Open Data (LOD) and their applications are flourishing. The Open Data movement, along with the maturity of Web 3.0 technologies has led various Organizations to publish their data, making them accessible worldwide. One of the fundamental issues that follows the initial success of these LOD initiatives is a way to standardize the effort according to effective functional and technical specifications. Topics of interest cover the following areas (but are not limited to): ● Methodologies for Linked Data production and deployment ● Assessing trustworthiness in Linked Data ● Linked Data publication and visualization ● AI technologies for Linked Data ● Engineering Linked Data stems ● Searching and ranking methodologies and algorithms ● Linked Data real world applications and uses (e-Government, health, energy, finance) ● Rule interchange formats ● Reasoning ● Query languages ● Data cleansing techniques ● Social media interactivity ● Adaptive Linked Data systems ● Services development and orchestration ● Provenance and right management ● Dataset description, discovery and consolidation ● Architectural paradigms ● Mobile Linked Data ● Business models 3. Big Data In this thematic category we aim to investigate how the well-defined concepts of data utilization can be applied in order to develop new techniques and methods for the sustainable and socially balanced exploitation of huge data pools. Topics of interest cover the following areas (but are not limited to): ● Scalable, distributed and parallel algorithms for solving Big Data ● Harvesting Linked Data from large heterogeneous sources ● Connecting massive unstructured data with well-defined linked formats ● Semantic models and environments to support Big Data ● Data management for mobile and pervasive computing ● Data Management in large social graphs ● Crowdsourcing as a solution to Big Data handling ● Big Data analytics in government and society (public sector, social security, etc.) ● Visualization and presentation of Big Data ● Security, privacy issues derived from Big Data handling ● Complex applications in: ○ Science, scientific data mining ○ Large scale recommendation systems (e.g. medicine, biology, finance, business, etc.) ○ Communications and social media applications ○ Real-life problems (urban, transportation, weather, energy consumption, etc.) Program committee: Jose Maria Alvarez Rodriguez, Web Semantics Oviedo ?

Fwd: [AISWorld] BPMDS deadline extension
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] BPMDS deadline extension Datum: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 08:50:47 +0200 Von: Pnina Soffer <spnina(a)is.haifa.ac.il> Antwort an: spnina(a)is.haifa.ac.il An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear friends, Due to many requests, the submission deadline of BPMDS for full papers has been extended to February 28. Abstract submission is required by February 22. BPMDS is a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. One of the major aims is to discuss and to learn about concepts and techniques to enhance the ability to analyze, design, and execute business processes, supported by information systems. Important dates: *Abstract submission: Februar**y 22, 2013** **Full paper submission: February 28, 2013* Notification of acceptance: March 24th, 2013 Camera-ready papers due: April 8th, 2013 The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013 More information can be found in the CFP below. Best regards, Pnina Soffer On behalf of BPMDS'2013 Organising Committee *************************************************************************************************** International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS'2013) the 14th edition of the BPMDS series held in conjunction with CAiSE'13 17-18 June 2013, Valencia, Spain Submission deadline: February 28, 2013 The Call for Papers can be downloaded from the BPMDS Web site http://www.bpmds.org SPONSORS: -------- - Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). BPMDS Working Conference is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series (http://www.pros.upv.es/index.php/en/home-caise2013). - International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1) (https://research.idi.ntnu.no/ifip-wg81/). Sponsor since 2009. ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE: -------------------------- The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of information systems theory, and a topic that any major conference in the area of information systems needs to address, independently of the current fashion. The continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference. The BPMDS series has produced thirteen events from 1998 to 2012. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series: 1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development 2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers. 4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: http://www.bpmds.org/history BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ------------------- BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a main selection criterion. As a working conference, we would like to attract papers describing mature research, but we still give place to industrial reports and visionary idea papers. To encourage new and emerging challenges and research directions in the area of business process modeling, development and support, we have a unique focus theme every year. Papers submitted as idea papers will be required to be of relevance to the focus theme, thus providing a mass of new ideas around a relatively narrow but emerging research area. Full research papers and experience reports are not required to be directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to BPMDS though). The focus theme for BPMDS'13 idea papers is "Coping with Complexity in Business Processes". Today, business processes have to cope with increasing complexity in several areas. First, business processes are increasingly becoming cross and inter organizational. External processes and services have to be integrated into processes. Second, data is becoming more and more important for business processes. Recent advances such as data science and big data provide huge amounts of information to be processed in business processes. Third, business processes are executed in complex environments, which may consist of cloud-services and resources and may introduce flexibility requirements. We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this theme and submit idea papers that deal with specific complexity aspects of business processes, such as data orientation as in MDM (master data management) and relation to big data, need for context-awareness and flexibility, and integration of business processes with social media. We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well as experience reports on using theories in practice. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: ---------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: *Business Process Modeling* - Business process modeling languages, notations and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling, - Coherence among multi-perspective representations - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling business processes - Verification and validation of business process models - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse - Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components; modeling for reuse - Domain specific reference models - Business process modeling enhanced by social software and social networks *Business Process Support* - Business process change management and governance issues - Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business processes - Business process support architectures and platforms - Business process support based on a service-oriented architecture - Business process support combined with social software and social networks - Business processes using cloud-services - Mobile technologies and context aware business processes *Requirements on Business Processes* - Compliance, reliability, security, performance - Flexibility, variability, adaptability - Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement - Resource management in business processes - User-oriented aspects - Strategy, business processes, people and IT: alignment, fit and coherence - Cross-organizational business processes - Data-intensive business processes - BPMDS in the cloud SUBMISSIONS: ----------- Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that concerns business process modeling and development, and/or business process support (development of software dedicated to business processes). We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For full research papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation. Thus three kinds of submissions are possible: (1) Full research papers. (2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines. (3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging challenges; the compliance to the focus theme is mandatory for idea papers, which should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them. Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013 PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling", as the four previous years (LNBIP 29, LNBIP 50, LNBIP 81, LNBIP 113). After the BPMDS'13 conference, extended versions of the accepted papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal.

The scientific community has realized the importance of aligning information systems engineering and security engineering in order to develop more secure information systems. The International Workshop on Information System Security Engineering aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present, discuss and debate on one hand the latest research work on methods, models, practices and tools for secure information systems engineering, and on the other hand relevant industrial applications, recurring challenges, problems and industrial led solutions at the area of secure information systems engineering. Topics of particular interest include (but are not limited to): * Security and privacy requirements models and engineering * Security and privacy analysis methods and models * Security and privacy design methods and models * Security and privacy testing methods and models * Security and privacy modelling Support Tools * Integrating functional, security and privacy requirements * Threat-driven and Model-driven security * Secure IS interoperability modelling * Security and process modelling * Modelling Security and Trust * Managing Secure Software development * Security in Agile Software Development Methods * Methodologies and models for evaluating IS security and privacy aspects * Formal methods for modelling security * Models and approaches for the verification of security and privacy properties * Approaches for managing security changes in IS * Component-based, Aspect-oriented, Agent-based, Pattern-based Information system Security methods * Methods, models and tools for workflow and Business Process Security * Case studies in modelling secure IS * Security Architectures and Patterns for Information Systems * Semantic Web Technologies applied to Security * Ontologies for IS security * Security Engineering for specific Information Systems (e-Services, databases, mobile, internet, social networks, ...) * Security Engineering for SOA Systems * Methods for security reengineering * Software Security Knowledge * Enterprise Software Security Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics of the workshop. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Only papers in English will be accepted. Manuscripts must comply with the Springer NLBIP formatting rules. Prepare your manuscript as a PDF file and submit it to the workshop organizers via the EasyChair system. We accept three types of submissions: Regular Research Papers, Experience Papers and Demo/Poster Papers. Regular Research Papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of secure information systems engineering. A regular research paper should describe the context of the work, the problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the benefits of the contribution. The length of regular research papers should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices.). Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. Experience papers present application of work to case studies and industrial practice. Such papers should provide a detail description of the application setting, describe lessons learned, and discuss best practice. Experience papers should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices.). Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. Demo/Poster papers should briefly discuss academic and/or industrial efforts on software tools and systems for secure information systems engineering. Demo/Poster papers should not exceed 1 page and they should provide a brief description of the research and software/system to be demonstrated. Poster papers are also ideal to explain a new idea and get feedback from the community. It is expected that accepted papers will be presented in the form of a live demonstration or a poster. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format and the above page limitations or being obviously out of the scope of the workshop will be rejected without review. Registration For each accepted submission, at least one author is expected to register for the workshop and attend the workshop in order to present the paper. Registration is through the CAiSE'13 web site. Workshop Structure The workshop will combine paper presentations, poster/demonstration session, and a keynote. Moreover, accepted papers apart from presentation time, will be assigned with one or two discussants with responsibility to initiate the discussion on the paper. We are confident that such structure will support a workshop environment that will be based on discussion, debate and will therefore provide an important contribution to the relevant research community.

20 Feb '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - IS Design Research Mini-track at HICSS-47 Datum: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:21:22 -0500 Von: Joseph Walls <jgwalls(a)umich.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleague, We invite you to submit a paper to the 47th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) mini-track “Advances in Design Research for Information Systems”. Below is a description of the mini-track as well as the call for papers for the HICSS conference. Please circulate this information to other researchers potentially interested in advancing design research. Additional information about the conference can be found at the website below. http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm We hope to see you in Hawaii in January 2014! Joseph Walls George Widmeyer Omar El Sawy ADVANCES IN DESIGN RESEARCH FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS This mini-track provides a venue for IS design researchers to share their work and interact with likeminded scholars. Design research may be viewed as having three major subfields. 1. Design theory research focuses on the development of theories about creating new or improved information systems based on kernel theories. The IS design theory concept was first articulated two decades ago (Walls, et al, 1992) and continues to be developed (Jones and Gregor, 2007). Research reported at the annual Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) conference proceedings illustrates work that continues in this area (Gurzick and Lutters, 2009). Design theory papers have also been published in the ICIS Proceedings (e.g., Sarnikar and Deokar, 2009) and at HICSS-44 (e.g., Zhang, et al, 2011), HICSS-45 (e.g., Lee, et al, 2011), and HICSS-46 (Lu and Käkölä, 2013). 2. Design science research focuses on creating “new-to-the-world” IS artifacts (Hevner, et al, 2004). 3. Science of design research involves the study of how designers actually conduct design activities. We welcome papers from any of the above subfields. HICSS-47 CALL FOR PAPERS Hilton Waikoloa, Big Island January 6-9, 2014 (Monday-Thursday) HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library. How to Submit a Paper Follow Author Instructions to be posted by February 1, 2013 on the conference web site. http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm • HICSS papers must contain original material. They may not have been previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process; so initial submission must be without author names. • Abstracts are optional, but strongly recommended. You may contact the Minitrack Chair(s) for guidance or verification of content. • Submit a paper to only one Minitrack. If a paper is submitted to more than one minitrack, then either paper may be rejected by either minitrack without consultation with author or other chairs. If you are not sure of the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) for determination, and/or seek informal opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before submitting. – see names and contact information below. • Do not author or co-author more than 5 papers. This means that an individual may be listed as author or co-author on no more than 5 submitted papers. Track Chairs must approve any names added after submission or acceptance on August 15. Important 2013 Deadlines for Authors June 15 Submit full manuscripts for review as instructed. The review is double-blind; therefore, this initial submission must be without author names. Aug 15 Review System emails. Acceptance Notices to authors. It is very important that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the conference. Therefore, all travel guarantees – including visa or your organization’s fiscal funding procedures – should begin immediately. Make sure your server accepts the review system address https://precisionconference.com/~hicss Sept 15 SUBMIT FINAL PAPER. Add author names to your paper, and submit your Final Paper for Publication to the site provided in your Acceptance Notice. (This URL is not public knowledge.) Oct 1 Early Registration fee deadline. At least one author of each paper should register by this date in order secure publication in the Proceedings. Fees will increase on Oct 2 and Dec 2. Oct 15 Papers without at least one paid-in-full registered author may be deleted from the Proceedings and not scheduled for presentation; authors will be so notified by the Conference Office. Cancellation and Refund Policy All conference cancellation requests must be in writing. A fee will be charged for cancellation of registration after Oct 15, at which time the paper is subject to withdrawal from the Proceedings. There is no registration refund after Dec 1. Cancellations for accommodations must be handled directly with the hotel.
