-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Last CfP Special Issue: Economics and Value of IS (Business & Information Systems Engineering) Datum: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 11:12:58 +0000 Von: Steffen ZIMMERMANN <Steffen.Zimmermann(a)uibk.ac.at> Antwort an: Steffen ZIMMERMANN <Steffen.Zimmermann(a)uibk.ac.at> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> --- Sorry for any cross-postings --- *********************************************** Last CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE: ECONOMICS AND VALUE OF IS BUSINESS & INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (BISE) Submission Deadline: 2014-11-01 http://www.bise-journal.com/?p=891 ********************************************** A major part of our current economy is based on the value creation through Information Systems (IS) that enable the creation, exchange, and processing of large amounts of information. This results in new business models such as the upcoming sharing economy and opportunities for firms such as product customization, analyzing consumer-produced content, or marketing through social networks. However, the details on how such new business models and opportunities affect organizations, industries, economies and societies in the long run still have to be investigated. The special issue on economics and value of IS considers various issues related to IS and IT including economics of information goods, platforms, cloud computing, mobile services, as well as the impact of IT-driven business models on existing organizations, industries, economies, and societies. The common element across all papers is that they are expected to make an original contribution to the theory or practice of creating, adopting or using information technology. This may come from examining new phenomena, applying a new theoretical perspective, or by gathering new data. Authors should focus on articulating their unique contribution, linking it both to the body of their study and contrasting it to the characterization from prior research. This special issue invites theoretical and empirical submissions that comprise -- but are not restricted to -- topics like: Economics of information and communication goods (pricing, bundling, policies, ...) Business models for information goods Economics of service networks Internet Economics Adoption of Cloud Computing Matching in electronic markets -- issues of efficiency and mechanism design Economics of mobile services Decision-making in electronic markets Network effects of IS Economics of IT infrastructures Business Value of IT projects and programs IT, productivity and organizational complements Online auctions -- issues of trust, simultaneity and competing auctions Platform competition, standards and multi-sided networks Predictive modeling in economics of IS Economics of the sharing industry Submission Guidelines Authors are asked to submit their papers online under the category "BISE-Econ and Value of IS" by 2014-11-01 via the journal's submission system Editorial Manager (http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/). All papers must follow the typing and formatting instructions for WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK/BUSSINESS & INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (BISE) available at http://www.bise-journal.org. In particular, manuscripts should not exceed 50,000 characters (discounting 5,000 characters for each figure/table). Detailed authors' guidelines can be downloaded from http://www.bise-journal.org. Submissions are accepted in English only. All papers will be reviewed anonymously (double-blind process) by several referees with regard to relevance, originality, and research quality. In addition to the editors of the journal, including those of this special focus, distinguished national and international professionals with scientific and practical backgrounds will be involved in the review process. SCHEDULE: Submission Deadline: 2014-11-01 Author notification: 2015-01-10 Completion of 1st revision: 2015-02-28 Author notification: 2015-04-18 Completion of a 2nd revision (if required): 2015-05-23 Planned publication date: October 2015 SPECIAL ISSUE EDITORS: Kunsoo Han McGill University, Montreal, Canada kunsoo.han(a)mcgill.ca <mailto:kunsoo.han@mcgill.ca> Dennis Kundisch University of Paderborn, Germany dennis.kundisch(a)wiwi.uni-paderborn.de <mailto:dennis.kundisch@wiwi.uni-paderborn.de> Christof Weinhardt Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany weinhardt(a)kit.edu <mailto:weinhardt@kit.edu> Steffen Zimmermann University of Innsbruck, Austria steffen.zimmermann(a)uibk.ac.at <mailto:steffen.zimmermann@uibk.ac.at> ___________________________________________________ Dr. Steffen Zimmermann Associate Professor Director of Master Program Information Systems University of Innsbruck School of Management Information Systems Universitaetsstr. 15 A-6020 Innsbruck Phone: +43 (0) 512/507-7683 Fax: +43 (0) 512/507-9809 E-Mail: steffen.zimmermann(a)uibk.ac.at <mailto:steffen.zimmermann@uibk.ac.at> WWW: http://www.uibk.ac.at/iwi2/ ____________________________________________________

Fwd: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS Openness and IT Track at ECIS, May 27-29, 2015, Muenster, Germany
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Oct '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS Openness and IT Track at ECIS, May 27-29, 2015, Muenster, Germany Datum: Sun, 12 Oct 2014 07:48:19 +0000 Von: Feller, Joseph <JFeller(a)afis.ucc.ie> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Openness and IT Track European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS) May 27-29, 2015, Muenster, Germany http://www.ecis2015.eu/participation/list-tracks/23-openness-and-it Submission deadline: November 28th, 2014 Notification of acceptance: End of February, 2015 Formatting and submission guidelines: http://www.ecis2015.eu/participation/submissions TRACK DESCRIPTION: Over the past decade, IT-enabled "openness" has received an increasing amount of attention from IS researchers, including multiple workshops, conferences and journal special issues devoted to a variety of open phenomenon such as open source software, open content and open innovation. In the IS context, openness typically refers to technological and legal accessibility of IT artefacts, transparent and permeable organizational structures, and distributed collaborative processes based on knowledge sharing between peers. Such technological, structural and procedural openness has significant social and business implications. For example, individual users actively participate in the creation of global knowledge goods (e.g., Wikipedia or Linux). A new generation of "open" entrepreneurs can be seen to leverage the power of crowds in the design and delivery of products and services and in the funding of their business ventures. For established businesses, openness has changed approaches to business model architectures and innovation, both through "internal openness" (e.g., inner source software, internal co-creation platforms and enterprise social software) and "external openness" (e.g., open innovation markets, open sourcing, and crowdsourcing), and more often through combinations of internal and external strategies. Likewise, open technologies are central to new intra- and inter-organisational forms of value creation, supporting "ecosystems" of in(ter)dependent actors (e.g., the ecosystem around Google¹s Android OS, or Facebook¹s app platform). What is more, openness shifts power structures by relatively devaluing physical production facilities (which can now often been booked as on-demand services) and emphasizing the value of information, and IT-enabled business models. As a consequence, openness is a disruptive force not only in digital content industries such as music and news, but also in sectors such as manufacturing and financial services. Increasingly, the academic sector and the research community itself face new challenges (and opportunities) emerging from the combination of openness and IT. We believe that IS, as a discipline, is particularly well positioned to study open phenomena that involve technology, individuals, organisations and societies. The aim of the third consecutive ECIS track on Openness and IT is to provide a forum for the most recent work in this growing and important IS research domain. We invite theoretical, empirical and applied research papers that will significantly contribute to our theoretical and practical understanding of openness; its manifestations, antecedents and, most critically, its impacts on individuals, organizations and society. TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS: The track welcomes theoretical, empirical and applied contributions and encourages submission from researches using a wide range of methodological and epistemological approaches. All though all aspects of IT-enabled openness (or the impact of openness on IT) are of interest, we particularly encourage submissions explore (a) the manifestations, dynamics and characteristics of different open phenomena and (b) the impact of technological openness in organizational, personal and professional behaviour both on- and offline. The interplay and relationship between technology and openness should be central to the submissions (rather than providing only the background for studies of general business strategy or social behaviour). Research papers, research-in-progress, and teaching cases are all welcome. TRACK TOPICS (include, but are not limited to): * APIs and SOAs as an Open Collaboration/Creation Platform * Collective Action and Collective Resources * Collective Intelligence and Collective Creativity * Crowdsourcing and Microwork * Crowdfunding and P2P (Crypto) Currencies * MOOCs and Open Education * Open Access * Open Business Models and Open Strategies * Open Data * Open Design * Open Government * Open Hardware * Open Innovation * Open Science and Citizen Science * Open Source and Inner Source Software Development * Open Standards * Peer-Production and Distributed Collaboration * Product/Service Co-creation * Social Software as an Open Collaboration/Creation Platform * Theories of Openness * User-Led/Lead User Innovation TRACK CHAIRS: * Daniel Schlagwein, UNSW Australia Business School. * Joseph Feller, Business Information Systems, University College Cork, Ireland. * Lorraine Morgan, LERO, National University of Ireland - Galway, Ireland.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We are also very interested in contributions from related fields, such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, etc. Why submit to ACM IUI? At ACM IUI, we focus on the interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. While other conferences focus on one side or the other, we address the complex interaction between the two. We welcome research that explores how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter, which may leverage solutions from data mining, knowledge representation, novel interaction paradigms, and emerging technologies. We strongly encourage submissions that discuss research from both HCI and AI simultaneously, but also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other. The ACM IUI conference brings together people from academia, industry, nonprofits and government, to showcase and discuss work results in an intimate, focused, and interactive setting. We expect this yearâ??s ACM IUI to be attended by a diverse and livery crowd of over 200 attendees, a good size that allows our attendees to strike up conversations and network with other attendees, see all the posters, and take in all the presentations. As an ACM conference, ACM IUI papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. There will also be a journal publication path for long papers. ACM IUI is a single-track conference, so you will not miss anything! Topics of interest (non-exhaustive list) * User Input Â Â - Processing of multi-modal input Â Â - Natural language and speech processing Â Â - Gestures, eye gaze, face, emotion recognition * Generation of System Output Â Â - Intelligent visualization tools Â Â - Intelligent generation of user-consumable content Â Â - Big Data analytics of rich data types (e.g., temporal/time series, spatial, text, sequence, unstructured, graphs/networks, etc.) * Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing Â Â - Intelligent interfaces for ubiquitous computing Â Â - Smart environments and tangible computing Â Â - Smart interaction and interfaces for wearable computing * Help and Persuasive Technologies Â Â - Intelligent assistants for complex tasks Â Â - Support for collaboration in multiuser environments Â Â - Persuasive technologies in intelligent user interfaces Â Â - Education and learning-related technologies * Personalization Â Â - User-adaptivity in interactive systems Â Â - Recommender systems Â Â - Modeling and prediction of user behavior * AI Techniques in intelligent user interfaces Â Â - Interactive machine learning and data mining Â Â - Planning and plan recognition Â Â - Reasoning in interfaces * Social Computing Â Â - Affective, social and aesthetic interfaces Â Â - Social networks and collaboration * Intelligent User Interface Design Â Â - Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation Â Â - Proactive and agent-based paradigms for user interaction Â Â - Example-and demonstration-based interfaces * User Studies Â Â - User studies concerning intelligent interfaces Â Â - Evaluations of implemented intelligent user interfaces SUBMISSION ------------------- Full and Short Papers Â Â (NEW! Special opportunity to submit to the TiiS journal) ----------------------------- We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. ACM IUI 2015 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for interface design. We do not require evaluations with users, but we expect papers to include appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions. Full papers (10 pages with unlimited references) should make substantial, novel and relevant contributions to the field. Short papers (4 pages with unlimited references) may present focused contributions, ideas, and work in progress. Accepted full papers will be invited for oral presentation and short papers either as oral or poster presentation. Authors of accepted ACM IUI 2015 full papers will have an opportunity to submit extended versions to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, tiis.acm.org <http://tiis.acm.org>) for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of ACM IUI 2015". An ACM IUI 2015 program chair will serve as an associate editor to manage the reviewing for that special issue, and the reviewing schedule will ensure that it appears in the ACM Digital Library in early 2016, before ACM IUI 2016. (For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension" of a conference paper for TiiS, see http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission). Abstracts Due: October 13, 2014 Full and Short Papers Due: October 17, 2014 Rebuttal Start: December 8, 2014 Rebuttal End: December 12, 2014 Notification to Authors: December 19, 2014 Camera-Ready Due: January 16, 2015 Posters ---------- Posters provide an opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early- stage work and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. We invite submissions on all topics of the conference. All submissions should convey a scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be published as a full length research paper at a refereed conference. The page limit for poster papers is 4 pages. Accepted poster papers will appear in the companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Due: January 16, 2015 Notification to Authors: February 13, 2015 Camera-Ready Due: February 20, 2015 Demonstrations --------------------- The demonstrations track complements the overall program of the conference. Demonstrations show implementations of novel, interesting, and important intelligent user interface concepts or systems. We invite submissions relevant to intelligent user interfaces and which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the conference. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages. The page limit for demo papers is 4 pages. Accepted demo papers will be published in the companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Due: January 16, 2015 Notification to Authors: February 13, 2015 Camera-Ready Due: February 20, 2015 Student Consortium --------------------------- The ACM IUI 2015 Student Consortium provides an opportunity for Masters and Doctoral students to present and receive feedback about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of mentors, selected from senior people in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their research to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are not so far along their research that they can no longer make changes. Students who are accepted into the consortium will receive partial financial support for their travel to the conference. Details of the financial support will be announced soon. Submissions Due: January 16, 2015 Notification to Authors: February 13, 2015 Camera-Ready Due: February 20, 2015 Workshop Proposals ---------------------------- We invite proposals for full-day and half-day workshops on topics that are of interest to the ACM IUI community.

Workshop proposals due: September 12, 2014 Notification: October 15, 2014 Tutorial Proposals ------------------------ We invite proposals for tutorials from active researchers and experienced presenters. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research and development in a specific area strongly related to ACM IUI. Tutorials on interdisciplinary areas, novel or fast growing directions, and significant practical applications are also encouraged. Accepted tutorial organizers will be exempt from the registration fee (one per tutorial). Tutorials proposals due: September 12, 2014 Notification: October 15, 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** New Cooperation Agreement between the ACM IUI Conference Series and ACM TiiS **** The steering committee of the ACM IUI conference series has agreed with the editors-in-chief of the ACM TiiS on the following forms of collaboration between the conference and the journal, which will be repeated in subsequent years: 1. Authors of accepted ACM IUI 2015 full papers will have an opportunity to submit extended versions to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, tiis.acm.org <http://tiis.acm.org>) for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of ACM IUI 2015". One of the ACM IUI 2015 program chairs will serve as an associate editor who manages the reviewing for that special issue, and the reviewing schedule will ensure that it appears in the ACM Digital Library in early 2016, before ACM IUI 2016. (For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension" of a conference paper for TiiS, see http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission ). 2. The authors of any TiiS article that has been accepted during the year 2014 (and that does not represent an extension of a paper presented at an earlier ACM IUI conference) will have an opportunity to present their work at ACM IUI 2015 in a presentation slot at least as long as that for an ACM IUI 2015 short paper. ************************************************************************ ACM IUI 2015 ORGANIZERS ---------------------------------------- General Co-Chairs <chair2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:chair2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Oliver Brdiczka, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) Â Â - Polo Chau, Georgia Tech Program Co-Chairs <program2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:program2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Giuseppe Carenini, University of British Columbia Â Â - Shimei Pan, IBM Research Â Â - Per Ola Kristensson, University of Cambridge Treasurer <treasurer2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:treasurer2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Jalal Mahmud, IBM Research Sponsorship Chair <sponsors2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:sponsors2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Sumit Basu, Microsoft Research Workshop and Tutorial Co-Chairs <workshop-tutorial2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:workshop-tutorial2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Ben Steichen, University of British Columbia Â Â - Nava Tintarev, University of Aberdeen Poster and Demo Co-Chairs <poster2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:poster2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Sven Kratz, FXPAL Â Â - Eelco Herder, L3S Student Consortium Co-Chairs <studentconsortium2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:studentconsortium2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Wai-Tat Fu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Â Â - Brent Hecht, University of Minnesota Publicity Co-Chairs <publicity2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:publicity2015@iui.acm.org>>: Â Â - Alan Said (social media), TU Delft Â Â - Matthijs van Leeuwen (website), KU Leuven Â Â - Jilles Vreeken (website), MPII Â Â - Ali Jahanian (website), Purdue University --Â Alan Said Multimedia Computing Group Delft University of Technology e: alansaid(a)acm.org <mailto:alansaid@acm.org> t: @alansaid w: www.alansaid.com <http://www.alansaid.com>

Fwd: [computational.science] Call for Book Chapters: Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence in Defense and Security
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Book Chapters: Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence in Defense and Security Datum: Fri, 10 Oct 2014 10:16:05 -0400 Von: CIDS-Book <cidsbook(a)gmail.com> An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ** Apologies for multiple postings ** Call for Book Chapters ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming Book: "Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence in Defense and Security" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be published in: Springer's Studies in Computational Intelligence Series Website: http://www.ieeeottawa.ca/ci/cids-book/ Abstract submission deadline: October 30, 2014 ------------------ Volume Co-Editors: ------------------ Rami Abielmona, Larus Technologies Corporation, Canada Rafael Falcon, Larus Technologies Corporation, Canada Nur Zincir-Heywood, Dalhousie University, Canada Hussein Abbass, Australian Defense Force Academy, Australia ------------ Motivation: ------------ Given the rapidly changing and increasingly complex nature of global security, we continue to witness a remarkable interest within the defense and security communities in novel, adaptive and resilient techniques that can cope with the challenging problems arising in this domain. These challenges are brought forth not only by the overwhelming amount of data reported by a plethora of sensing and tracking modalities, but also by the emergence of innovative classes of decentralized, mass-scale communication protocols and connectivity frameworks such as cloud computing, sensor networks, intelligent transportation systems and the Internet of Things. Realizing that traditional techniques have left many important problems unsolved, and in some cases, not addressed, further efforts have to be undertaken in the quest for algorithms and methodologies that can accurately detect and easily adapt to emerging threats.

Fwd: [WI] 2nd CFP: UMUAI Special Issue on Personality in Personalized Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CFP: UMUAI Special Issue on Personality in Personalized Systems Datum: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 18:51:13 -0600 Von: Sabine Graf <sabine.graf(a)ieee.org> Antwort an: Sabine Graf <sabine.graf(a)ieee.org> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Personality in Personalized Systems User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction: The Journal of Personalization Research (UMUAI) *** Extended abstract submission deadline: December 1, 2014 *** Paper submission deadline (for accepted abstracts): March 1, 2015 Special Issue Web site: http://www.cp.jku.at/people/tkalcic/umuai_personality.html UMUAI Web site: http://www.umuai.org/ ********************************************************************* SCOPE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE Personality has been found to correlate with a number of real-world behaviors. For example, it correlates with musical taste: popular music tends to be liked by extroverts, whereas people with a tendency to be less open to experience tend to prefer religious music and to dislike rock music. Personality also impacts on the forming of social relations: friends tend to be, to a very similar extent, open to experience and extrovert. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation between personality and how people prefer to learn, indicating that learning styles can be seen as a subset of personality. Since personality has been shown to affect real-world user preferences (e.g. preferences for interaction styles, preferences for learning, preferences for musical genres), we might conclude that the design of online services (e.g., personalized user interfaces, music recommender systems, adaptive educational systems, and games) might also benefit from personality studies. This is the reason why researchers have recently explored the extent to which personality traits impact on the use of interactive and hypermedia systems. They found, for example, that personality is associated with specific preferences for music genres online, and that this greatly impacts on music-information retrieval services. Collaborative filtering techniques have also benefited from assessing the users' personality traits. It has also been shown that users open to new experiences (one of the big five personality traits) tend to prefer more diverse and serendipitous items (e.g., movies). Furthermore, learning styles have been heavily used in educational systems to personalize courses in terms of the structure and presentation of learning materials. In the context of games, for example, it has been found that personality seems to impact on the motivation for playing online games. Also, certain personality traits have been found to correlate with communication styles and, as a consequence, the adoption of location-sharing social media. The five-factor model of personality, or the Big Five, is the most commonly used set of personality concepts and one of the most reliable and comprehensive models of personality. In this model, an individual is associated with five scores that correspond to the five main personality traits. The names of those traits form the acronym OCEAN: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Other models of personality are, for example, the Four Temperaments (the oldest general model), the Benziger brain type (a work-related model), the Belbin team roles model, the Myers-Briggs types (general and team-working model), the RIASEC vocational model or the Bartle types (describing personalities in video games). While personality traits are normally identified by asking people to complete a questionnaire, researchers have recently shown that personality traits can be extracted implicitly from the users' streams (e.g., tweets, Facebook updates) without resorting to time-consuming questionnaires. Furthermore, players' behaviors in games have been investigated and can also provide information about a player's personality. Similarly, several researchers have conducted studies on using data from learners' behaviors in a course to automatically identify their learning styles. TOPICS The topics of interest for this special issue include (but are not limited to): * Personality models for personalized systems; * Personality prediction/extraction/assessment from behavior and/or preference data in * games * multimedia content (e.g., music, films, etc.) * social media * educational systems * business applications * other modalities (e.g., mobile devices etc.) * Automatic prediction/extraction/assessment of other (e.g., lower-level or application- specific) personality factors such as * learning styles * cognitive styles * communication styles * thinking styles * Privacy issues; * Enhancing user/learner models with personality; * Evaluation of personality-based personalized services; * Novel applications considering personality including * personality in games * personality and learning styles in educational systems * personality and multimedia content * personality in social media * personality and recommender systems PAPER SUBMISSION & REVIEW PROCESS The prospective authors must first submit an extended abstract of no more than 4 single-spaced pages, formatted with 12-pt font and 1-inch margins, through easychair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umuai-personality-20 by December 1, 2014. This abstract should be preceded by a completed UMUAI self-assessment form that can be found at http://www.umuai.org/self-assessment.html, preferably both in a single PDF file. All submitted abstracts will receive an initial screening by the editors of the special issue.
