-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP Informatik 2013: Virtuelle Welten und Gamification Datum: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 16:57:38 +0100 Von: Prof. Dr. Stefan Stieglitz <stefan.stieglitz(a)uni-muenster.de> An: WI LISTE <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Paper *Workshop auf der Informatik 2013: **Virtuelle Welten und Gamification* ** *Allgemeine Thematik:* Virtuelle Welten sind in den vergangenen Jahren mit wechselnder Intensität in der medialen Öffentlichkeit diskutiert worden. Gleichzeitig sind das wissenschaftliche Interesse und die Notwendigkeit zur Erforschung dieses Plattformtyps kontinuierlich angestiegen. Die technologische Basis virtueller Welten bilden 3D-Interaktionsräume, kombiniert mit Avatar-Repräsentation und Voice-over-IP, die die Reichhaltigkeit und Interaktivität bestehender Web-Anwendungen bei weitem übersteigen. Gleichzeitig stellt sich die Frage, wie zielgerichtete Online-Spiele („Serious Games“) beziehungsweise Elemente aus Online-Spielen („Gamification“) in einen organisationalen Kontext eingebunden werden können, da bereits nachgewiesen wurde, dass Spielen die Produktivität am Arbeitsplatz verbessert, sich positiv auf Entscheidungsprozesse auswirkt und Lernen ermöglichen kann. Obwohl seit einigen Jahren im Bereich der Human-Computer-Interaction hedonistische Elemente in der User Experience und die Begriffe „Playfulness“ sowie „Ludic Design“ diskutiert werden, fehlt eine ganzheitliche Diskussion in der Wissenschaft zu dem Einsatz und der Wirkung von zielgerichteten Spielen und Spielmechaniken im organisationalen Kontext. Für die Informatik eröffnen sich mit virtuellen Welten und Gamification Untersuchungsfelder mit einer Vielzahl von Forschungsfragen. Dass diese Forschungsfragen auch in der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinde auf großes Interesse stoßen, konnten die Workshops der letzten beiden Informatik-Konferenzen nachweisen. In dem geplanten Workshop sollen daher wiederum vier Bereiche fokussiert werden: 1. Untersucht werden soll zum Ersten die Anwendung von Computerspielen und virtuellen Welten für den Unternehmenskontext. In diesem Zusammenhang sind die Potenziale für neuartige E-Business Anwendungen zu erforschen, Anwendungskontexte und Funktionen zu beschreiben, Anforderungen an die technische Infrastruktur zu spezifizieren und die organisatorischen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen zu bestimmen, unter denen entsprechende Geschäftsaktivitäten vollzogen werden können. 2. Zum Zweiten besteht Bedarf an wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen für die Entwicklung, das Management und den Betrieb von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen. Die Gestaltung von Vorgehensmodellen für den spezifischen Entwicklungskontext, der Gewinn von Erkenntnissen zur Entwicklung und Nachhaltigkeit von Geschäftsmodellen sowie die Ableitung von Akzeptanzmodellen sind wesentliche Forschungsziele. 3. Zum Dritten soll die Nutzung und Wirkung von Serious Games im Unternehmenskontext untersucht werden. In diesem Zusammenhang sind die Potenziale für Anwendungen zu erforschen, entsprechende Referenzmodelle zu entwickeln, Anforderungen an die technische Infrastruktur zu spezifizieren und die organisatorischen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen zu bestimmen, unter denen Serious Games eingesetzt werden können. 4. Viertens ist Gamification an sich näher zu untersuchen. Dabei sind ebenfalls die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten zu erforschen, Anforderungen an die Ausgestaltung zu ergründen und die Wirkungsweise von Spielmechaniken auf den Anwender empirisch zu analysieren. *Spezifische Themenfelder: *Der vorgeschlagene Workshop auf der Informatik 2013 soll der Konsolidierung der bisherigen Forschung dienen und einen Ausgangspunkt für die weitere systematische Bearbeitung dieses Themenfeldes markieren. Beiträge können sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch ausgerichtet und auf Englisch oder Deutsch verfasst sein. Sie können die folgenden Aspekte thematisieren, sind aber nicht auf diese eingeschränkt: * Hedonic Attributes, Funology, Ludic Design und Playfulness, Gamification: Wie unterscheiden sich die Ansätze? * Gamification und Reputationssysteme: Wie stehen sie zueinander? * Einsatz von Spielmechaniken in verschiedenen organisationalen Kontexten (z.B. Wissensmanagement, Innovationsmanagement, Aus- und Weiterbildung) * Einsatz von Spielmechaniken in verschiedenen Industrien (z.B. Automobilindustrie) * Praxisbeispiele, insbesondere Prototypen und Show Cases von Gamification und Serious Games * Design, Entwicklung und Betrieb von Gamification-Anwendungen und Serious Games * Wirkung von Spielmechaniken und Serious Games * Adoption und Benutzerakzeptanz von Gamification und Serious Games * Bewertung von Gamification und Serious GamesDie Bedeutung des Narrativen und des Perspektivwechsels * Soziale Vernetzung und Kommunikation in virtuellen Welten * Communities im Kontext von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen * Anwendung virtueller Welten in der Unternehmenskommunikation und -kollaboration * Einsatz virtueller Welten im Innovationsprozess und in der Kundenintegration * Integration der Technologie virtueller Welten mit anderen Technologien und Informationssystemen * Virtuelle Welten und Computerspiele in der Aus- und Weiterbildung * Geschäftsmodelle in der Gaming Industrie, Geschäftsmodelle auf Basis virtueller Welten * Design, Entwicklung und Betrieb von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen * Adoption und Benutzerakzeptanz von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen * Vertrauen und Transparenz in virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen *Autorenhinweise: * * Die Beiträge sollen maximal 10-12 Seiten lang sein und in Deutsch oder Englisch bisher noch nicht veröffentlichte Forschungsergebnisse darstellen. * Die akzeptierten Beiträge werden als Vollversion digital und referenzierbar im Rahmen der *Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)* bereitgestellt. * Für alle Dokumente müssen die _LNI-Formatvorlagen der GI (Word oder LaTeX)_verwendet werden. * Die Einreichung setzt sich aus dem Beitrag sowie einem separaten Dokument mit Titel, Autoren und Abstract zusammen. * Eine Kurzversion wird in einem gedruckten Proceedings-Band der GI Jahrestagung erscheinen. Erfahrungsberichte mit Neuigkeits- und Alleinstellungsmerkmalen sowie interdisziplinäre Beiträge sind willkommen. Ziel ist eine Mischung theoretischer und praktischer Arbeiten. * Alle Beiträge werden in anonymisierter Form von zwei Mitgliedern des Programmkomitees begutachtet. * Einreichungen aus dem Programmkomitee sind zulässig. * Es ist notwendig, dass sich mindestens eine Autorin oder ein Autor bis zum 30.06.2013 für die Informatik 2013 registriert, um eine Veröffentlichung des eingereichten und angenommenen Beitrages zu erreichen. *Einreichung: * Beiträge können über das Konferenzmanagementsystem eingereicht werden:**https://www.conftool.pro/informatik2013/ *Zeitplan: * ·Einreichung von Beiträgen für die einzelnen Workshops:bis 22.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final CFP: Pre-ECIS Workshop "Large-scale communication systems in search of better theories and methods" Datum: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 14:18:22 +0100 Von: Marijn Plomp <m.g.a.plomp(a)vu.nl> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement. *Call for Papers for Pre-ECIS 2013 Workshop* *Large-scale communication systems in search of better theories and methods* June 4, 2013 IS projects frequently exceed the boundaries of a single organisation. Enterprise systems more and more often contain interorganisational elements, and digital collaboration takes place at a seemingly ever-increasing scale. However, these cross-organisational IT projects require a different approach with different concepts, strategies and methods. That is why large-scale information infrastructures often fail and sometimes even backfire. The assessment framework of Chain-computerisation (Grijpink, 2010) enables reducing these often costly mistakes. With the results of a chain analysis, a chain information strategy can be defined focused on the development and maintenance of chain information systems. An organisation strategy can be derived from the chain analysis results, as well. With this workshop, we hope to further the debate on concepts, theories and methods for improving the chances of large-scale, interorganisational IT projects. This call concerns a workshop organized before the 2013 European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS). We invite researchers, PhD students, and practitioners to join the discussion and present their work in this area. Manuscripts ideally focus on large-scale chain information systems covering theoretical, methodical, and/or practical aspects. Research papers are especially welcome. *Topics of interest* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Interorganisational information systems (IOS) - Interorganisational relationships (IOR) - Large-scale information infrastructures - Identity (fraud) in IOS - Privacy in IOS - Chain analyses of social chains - Coping with resistance to change in large-scale situations of co-operation and information exchange - Governance of large-scale co-operation *Workshop organizers* - Prof. Dr. Mr. J.H.A.M. Grijpink, Emeritus, Utrecht University, the Netherlands - Dr. M.G.A. Plomp, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands - Mrs. T. Visser, MSc, PwC, the Netherlands The e-mail address that should be used for all communication regarding this workshop is: ecisworkshop(a)gmail.com. *Important dates* Submissions due: 14 March 2013 Acceptance notification: 16 April 2013 Final versions due for proceedings: 15 May 2013 Workshop: 4 June 2013 To submit your paper, send an e-mail with the manuscript as a Word attachment to ecisworkshop(a)gmail.com with subject line "ECIS workshop paper submission". Submitted papers should adhere to a document template, which can be found here: http://jcc.library.uu.nl/ . Papers submitted to this workshop will be subject to peer review. Authors submitting to the workshop agree to review at least one other paper. A special issue will be prepared for the Journal of Chain-computerisation (JCC). JCC publishes articles on large-scale information exchange for social issues. The journal focuses on the development and maintenance of information-infrastructures for chain wide co-operation of independent organisations and professionals in a specific social sector, e.g. criminal law enforcement, health care, identity management or education. For more information, see: http://jcc.library.uu.nl/index.php/JCC. Selected papers from the workshop will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to this special issue. *Workshop URL*: http://goo.gl/UOag6 Best regards, Marijn Plomp -- Dr. M.G.A.

For full details, please visit the following website: http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2013/submguide.html ============================== Scope and Topics of Interest Green communications and computing has been increasingly emphasized in recent years, on the grounds not only of ecological concerns but also of significant economic drivers (cost saving). The current explosive growth in the number of devices connected to the Internet and in transmission capacity calls for "green solutions" to address the challenges in energy efficient and/or resource-efficient and/or environmentally-friendly communications and computing systems. This track solicits contributions describing current trends and cutting-edge research in communication and computing systems and networks that incorporate "green" constraints in their design and operation. It covers a wide range of green communications topics, including not only green-enabled communications and computing networks, but also communication and computing technologies enabling other green solutions such as smart grids, green buildings and green logistics. The objective of this track is to facilitate substantial advances in new system architectures, protocols and algorithms, which may allow significant reductions in energy and/or resource consumption. Prospective authors are invited to submit their original work addressing new and emerging issues in communications and networking on the above themes. Submissions are welcome from academia, industry and government organizations. -------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): -Energy-efficient protocols and networking -Non-energy based green issues and approaches -Green transmission technologies and network protocols -Novel network concepts and architectures lowering the overall footprint of ICT -Self-organizing green wireless networks -Green traffic shaping and policy implementation -Green optical communications, switching and networking -Use of cognitive principles to reduce energy and/or resource consumption in wireline and/or wireless networks - Power-efficient cooling and air-conditioning systems for communications and computing -Physical layer approaches for green communicommunications and computing -Low cost, energy-efficient antenna and RF designs -Green management of communication networks -Context-based green management & green awareness -Economy and pricing for green communication and services -Green network monitoring -Green sustainable storage and cloud computing -Measurement and profiling of energy consumption -Green scheduling for communications and computing -Power consumption trends and reduction in communications -Modeling and analysis for green communications and computing -Security in green communication networks -Standardization, policy and regulation for green communications and computing -Mitigation of electromagnetic pollution -Experimental test-beds and results for green communications and computing -Communication technologies for transport and logistics efficiency, e.g., applications to road traffic optimization and supply chain management -Communication technologies for industrial processes -Communication technologies for green buildings -Communication technologies for energy harvesting -Architectures and models for Smart Grid communications -Communications networks for the Smart Grid -Quality of service in smart grids -Information security in the Smart Grid -Sensor and actuator networks for smart grid -Advanced metering infrastructure and smart meter technologies -Field trials and deployment experiences

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: Third International Workshop on Complex Information Flows (CIF 2013) Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2013 05:20:15 -0000 From: Dimitri Perrin <dperrin(a)computing.dcu.ie> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 20th, 2013 [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================ The Third International Workshop on Complex Information Flows (CIF 2013) (http://compsac.cs.iastate.edu/cif2013.php) July 22, 2013. in conjunction with COMPSAC 2013 The 37th Annual International Computer Software & Applications Conference Kyoto, Japan July 22-26, 2013 ================================================ * THEME AND SCOPE Complex systems are characterized by the presence of intricate interactions between their heterogeneous parts, and an overall behavior which can not be easily explain by the properties of these individual components. For such systems, it is therefore particularly interesting to focus on how information flows between these parts, in terms of dynamical and statistical properties. This flow may represent data on a communication network, financial market interactions, gene interactions, or even a disease spreading within a population. Due to their complexity, the analysis of such systems is not trivial. They are associated with large datasets, which require advanced techniques. Similarly, prediction implies the development of refined models and simulation tools. Such developments are often only possible high-performance computing. Cloud computing also emerges as a suitable option in some cases, and several presentations at this workshop will look at these alternatives. Any submission whose content is relevant to the areas of data analysis, computational modeling, networks and complex systems will be considered, but any submission whose subject matter is related to one of the following topics will be particularly welcome: *** Analysis and modeling of large-scale networks (e.g. communication networks, social networks) - Modeling and design of complex networks - Tools and metrics for large networks - Information diffusion in communication networks *** Towards e-Health: biomedical and social systems - Network approaches in genetics and epigenetics - Personalized medicine - Population studies: alert systems, epidemic modeling, etc. - Big (bio-)data: biological and medical data analysis *** New solutions for computationally-intensive problems - HPC for data analytics - Cloud computing - Pre-computation - Optimization approaches to complex systems *** Tools and Case-studies - Applications, experience reports and case studies in data analytics - Applications, experience reports and case studies in computational modeling - Tools for large-scale data analysis * SUBMISSIONS Papers must be submitted electronically via the CIF 2013 Submission Page: http://myreview.cs.iastate.edu/CIF2013 Follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/submission. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers can be submitted as regular papers (six pages), and the acceptance will depend on reviewer feedback. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2013) by the IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper or fast abstract must register as a full participant of the workshop to have the paper or fast abstract published in the proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by an author. * IMPORTANT DATES - March 20, 2013 : Workshop papers due - April 21, 2013: Workshop paper notifications - May 5, 2013: Camera-ready copy and registration due * CONTACT US cif2013 [atmark] ispl [dot] jp
