Fwd: [AISWorld] [ESWC 2015] - Call for Challenges Proposal
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] [ESWC 2015] - Call for Challenges Proposal Datum: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:29:17 +0100 Von: Mauro Dragoni <dragoni(a)fbk.eu> An: Semantic Web <semantic-web(a)w3.org>, public-lod(a)w3.org, public-ontolex(a)w3.org, CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS(a)listserv.acm.org, confs-submit(a)hri.org, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, planetkr(a)kr.org, Community(a)sti2.org, semanticweb(a)yahoogroups.com, events_calendar(a)acm.org, linguist(a)linguistlist.org, dbpedia-discussion(a)lists.sourceforge.net, dbpedia-developers(a)lists.sourceforge.net, public-ldp(a)w3.org, semantic_web_doktorandennetzwerk(a)lists.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de, lod2(a)lists.okfn.org, public-vocabs(a)w3.org ============================================================= ESWC 2015 - 12th Extended Semantic Web Conference 2015 Call for Semantic Web Challenges Proposals ============================================================= After last year’s success, ESWC organizers are glad to announce that the Challenges Track will be included again in the program of ESWC 2015! Three challenges were held last year [1] and allowed the conference to attract a broader audience spanning across disciplines related to Semantic Web (such as recommender systems). This year, a call for challenges is open in order to open the selection of challenges to be held at the conference. The purpose of challenges is to showcase the maturity of the state of the art on tasks common to Semantic Web community and adjacent academic communities, in a controlled setting of rigorous evaluation. Semantic Web Challenges are an official track of the conference, and the challenge participants, must provide, in addition to their participation to the challenge, a paper describing their approach. This paper must undergo a peer-review by experts relevant to the challenge task, and will be published in the official proceedings. Challenge organizers are encouraged to submit proposals with the following qualities: - More than one task. Tasks should be independent (participants can participate in one or more). All tasks should be related to Semantic Web. Semantic Web technologies should play a prominent role. - Task descriptions correspond to the interests of a wider audience. We encourage the challenge organizers to propose at least one basic task that can be addressed by a larger audience from their community. Obtaining comments from potential future participants can also help drive more contenders to the challenge. - Clear and rigorous definition of the tasks. For each task, you should define a deterministic and objective way to verify if the goal of the task has been achieved, and to which extent it has been achieved (if applicable). The best way is usually to provide detailed examples of input data and expected output. The examples must cover all the possible situations that can occur while performing the task, and should leave no place to ambiguity about whether in a particular case the task is done or not. - Valid dataset (if applicable). You should find or create a dataset that will be used for the challenge. In any case, you must specify the provenance of the dataset (if it contains human annotation – how were those obtained). You must make sure you have the right to use/publish this dataset and clearly state the license for its use within the challenge. The dataset should be split in two parts – the training part, and the evaluation part. The training part contains the data, and the results that should be obtained when performing the task. As for the evaluation part, you should only publish the data, and make sure that the correct results have not previously been available to the participants. When proposing the challenge you must provide details on the dataset and on the way it is/will be created – the dataset can be made available later. - Challenge Committee: Composed of at least 3 respected researchers with experience in the tasks of the challenge. They help evaluate the papers submitted by the participants, and also validate the evaluation procedure. - Evaluation metrics and procedure. For each task there must be a number of objective criteria (metrics), e.g. precision and recall. The evaluation procedure and the way in which the metrics will be calculated must be clearly specified and made transparent to participants. Selection criteria: - Relevance for the Semantic Web community - Potential number to interested participants - Rigor and transparency of the evaluation procedure - Endorsements (from researchers working on the task, from industry players interested in results, from future participants) IMPORTANT DATES Challenges proposals due Friday November 21, 2014 - 23:59 Hawaii Time Challenges chosen/merged – notification to organizers sent Friday December 5, 2014 Training data ready and challenges Calls for Papers sent January 15th, 2015 Challenge papers submission deadline – March 3rd, 2015 Challenge paper reviews due – April 5th, 2015 Notifications sent to participants and invitations to submit task results – April 9th, 2015 Test data (and other participation tools) published – April 9th, 2015 Camera ready papers due - April 24th, 2015 Submission of challenge results – free choice of organizers Proclamation of winners – During ESWC closing Ceremony SUBMISSION DETAILS The challenges proposals should contain at least the following elements: - A summary description of the challenge and tasks - How the training/testing data will be built and/or procured - The evaluation methodology to be used, including clear evaluation criteria and the exact way in which they will be measured. Who will perform the evaluation and how will transparency be assured? - The anticipated availability of the necessary resources to the participants - The resources required to prepare the tasks (computation and annotation time, costs of annotations, etc) - The list of challenge committee members who will evaluate the challenge papers (please indicate which of the listed members already accepted the role) In case of doubt, feel free to send us your challenge proposal drafts as early as possible – the challenges chairs will provide you with feedback and answers to questions you may have. Please submit proposals as soon as possible, preferably by electronic mail in PDF format to the ESWC Challenges chairs: Milan Stankovic, Sépage S.A.S., France & Université Paris-Sorbonne (milstan(a)sepage.fr) Elena Cabrio, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France (elena.cabrio(a)inria.fr) [1] http://2014.eswc-conferences.org/important-dates/call-challenges _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP ECIS 2015 - Track IS Adoption and Diffusion Datum: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 17:59:47 +0100 Von: Andreas Eckhardt <eckhardt(a)wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *_ _**__**__* *_ECIS 2015 -- Track IS Adoption and Diffusion_* ** *SUBMISSION DEADLINE:* The submission deadline is *_November 28th, 2014_*. No extension, hard deadline. The conference submission system in located at: https://precisionconference.com/~ecis <https://precisionconference.com/%7Eecis>. For further information please go to: http://www.ecis2015.eu/participation/submissions *Description of the Track:* A quarter-century after the publication of one of the most prominent models in Information Systems (IS) adoption and diffusion research, this track focuses on a better understanding of various factors leading to diverse behavioral responses such that some IS and information and communication technologies (ICT) are successfully adopted while others are rejected. Although this field of study is considered to be one of the more mature research areas within the IS discipline, constantly emerging technologies, contexts of use, and stakeholder groups ensure that the area provides a lot of potential for exciting and fruitful investigation. Indeed, the emergence of such new technologies, contexts, and users raises the issue of whether previous research findings remain applicable to these new circumstances or whether new theoretical explanations are required. Especially in terms of methodologies, more approaches addressing these new circumstances and capturing all nuances in adoption decision making are clearly needed. Furthermore, new research approaches on collecting (i.e. experiments, action research, mixed methods, longitudinal approaches) and analyzing data (i.e. latent growth models, agent based modeling, data mining) may provide a significant step towards a better understanding of these factors driving and inhibiting IS usage. The aim of the track therefore is to provide a common platform for the presentation and discussion of original research into issues surrounding IS/ICT adoption, discontinuation, and rejection from various stakeholder group perspectives and at societal, organizational, and individual level. Unique papers with great ideas and novel contributions will be fast-tracked to a journal. *Topics of interest include **(but are certainly not limited to): *** * Individual and/or group level acceptance versus resistance to IS/ICT * Technology design factors influencing IS/ICT adoption and diffusion * Organizational adoption and diffusion of IS/ICT (e.g., ERP, ECM, HRIS) * Adoption of IS/ICT in a residential/ household context * Adoption or diffusion of IS/ICT in specific sectors (such as government) * Adoption and diffusion of smart phones, wearable devices, and other mobile technologies * Adoption and diffusion of social networking technologies and other Social Media applications * Socio-economic / geographical / cultural factors relevant to IS/ICT adoption * IS/ICT acceptance before/in/after organizational IS/ICT implementation projects * The digital divide (e.g., broadband, social inclusion) * The role of personality characteristics (e.g., Big 5) in adoption of ICT * Theoretical essays, reviews, concepts, policies, and tools of and for IS/ICT adoption and diffusion * The dark side of technology adoption -- drawbacks, social, and ethical issues * Different forms of IT usage -- adaptive, excessive, and motivated Use * Methodological issues regarding IT adoption and diffusion *Track CO-Chairs (listed in alphabetical order)**:* Jyoti Choudrie University of Hertfordshire Email: j.choudrie(a)herts.ac.uk Andreas Eckhardt (primary contact person) Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Email: eckhardt(a)wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de <mailto:eckhardt@wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de> *Anand Jeyaraj* *Wright State University, **USA* Email: anand.jeyaraj(a)wright.edu <mailto:anand.jeyaraj@wright.edu> Sven Laumer University of Bamberg, Bamberg, Germany Email: sven.laumer(a)uni-bamberg.de <mailto:sven.laumer@uni-bamberg.de> T.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP: 2nd International Workshop on Open Badges in Education (OBIE 2015)
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: 2nd International Workshop on Open Badges in Education (OBIE 2015) Datum: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 07:51:16 +0100 Von: Jelena Jovanovic <jeljov(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [Apologies for cross-posting] ==================================== 2nd International Workshop on Open Badges in Education (OBIE 2015): From Learning Evidence to Learning Analytics - https://sites.google.com/site/obie2015ws/ - => in conjunction with the 5th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference (LAK'15), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA, March 16-20, 2015 (http://lak15.solaresearch.org/) IMPORTANT DATES ==================================== * 16 January 2015: Paper submission deadline * 02 February 2015: Notification of acceptance * 16 February 2015: Camera-ready paper OVERVIEW ======== Open digital badges are Web-enabled tokens of learning and accomplishment. Unlike traditional grades, certificates, and transcripts, Open Badges (OBs) include specific claims about learning accomplishments and detailed evidence in support of those claims. The thinking and negotiations that go into deciding what claims and evidence to include in badges often result in highly credible and valuable information about the accomplished learning. Considering the richness of data associated with OBs - (meta)data stored in badges themselves, primarily requirements, achievement evidence and timestamps, as well as data about learning pathways followed by students (i.e., learning traces) - it is reasonable to expect a very powerful predictive element at the intersection of OBs and Learning Analytics. The data associated with OBs might offer highly valuable input not only to predict what may be a good fit for the next learning activity, but perhaps even what a learner is capable of in a certain timeframe. This fertile ground could have substantial implications for recommending and exposing students to a variety of curricular and co-curricular pathways utilizing data sources far more nuanced than grades and achievement tests.Â AUDIENCE ========= OBs connect educational providers and practitioners, entrepreneurs, and researchers in discourses on teaching, learning, assessment, digital credentials, and digital education in general. While preserving its general focus on opportunities and challenges associated with OBs, this 2nd installment of the OBIE workshop will be primarily intended for those interested in the intersection of OBs and Learning Analytics. This intersection includes gathering, integration, and analysis of data and resources associated with OBs, with the ultimate aim of providing teachers, learners and other stakeholders in the ever-increasing OBs ecosystem with informative and relevant feedback, and predictive functions. Participants in the workshop will be exposed to presentations and discussions on the position and role of digital badges in instructional design, on compelling data and analytics challenges and opportunities that the OB infrastructures open for the Learning Analytics field, and on different types and designs of OB systems and their potential to impact the future of education. Â Â TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The workshop would welcome submissions from the following (though not restrictive) list of topics: * Challenges and opportunities associated with the use of Learning Analytic methods and techniques in the domain of OBs. * Different kinds of feedback for teachers and students that could be generated based on the data and resources associated with OBs. * Leveraging learners' badge-earning pathways as means of i) assisting badge issuers in improving their instructional design, and ii) scaffolding learners' reflection over the learning process. * How different kinds of badges - e.g., participatory badges vs. assessment-based badges - impact learners' engagement in disciplinary discourse? * Intersection of OBs and the recent initiatives to open and share analytics data - how openness and visibility affect the functionality of badges as a motivator of behaviour? * Combined use of OBs with other recent education-oriented initiatives (e.g., xAPI, LRMI), to allow for a greater insight into to evidence associated with badges. * Examining learning pathways that emerge in large scale OBs efforts like the seven-city Cities of Learning in 2014. * Using semantic technologies to i) analyze evidence contained in digital badges, ii) allow for a comparison and alignment of badges issued by different organizations, and iii) interpret the meaning of a collection of heterogeneous badges. SUBMISSIONS ========================== We welcome the following types of contributions: Â Â * Demonstration abstracts (up to 2 pages)Â Â Â * Short research papers (up to 5 pages)Â Â Â * Full research papers (up to 10 pages). All submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the ACM Proceedings format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Please submit your contributions electronically in PDF format at Â https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=obie2015 All the submissions will go through a blind peer-review process. Submissions will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop.Â At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop. All accepted workshop papers will be published in a separate volume of CEUR proceedings.Â WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS =================== * Daniel Hickey, Indiana University, USAÂ * Jelena Jovanovic, University of Belgrade, Serbia * Steven Lonn, University of Michigan, USA * James E.

Fwd: Call for Workshops

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Workshops Datum: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 23:45:44 +0000 Von: IEEE Conference on Business Informatics <info(a)cbi-series.org> Antwort an: IEEE Conference on Business Informatics <info(a)cbi-series.org> An: Gustaf <neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at> ** 17th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2015) Call for Workshops ------------------------------------------------------------ Business Informatics Business Informatics is the scientific discipline targeting information processes and related phenomena in their socio-economical business context, including companies, organisations, administrations and society in general. Business Informatics is a fertile ground for research with the potential for immense and tangible impact. As a field of study, it endeavours to take a systematic and analytic approach in aligning core concepts from management science, organisational science, economics information science, and informatics into an integrated engineering science. The CBI is aimed at creating a forum for researchers and practitioners from various fields that contribute to the construction, use and maintenance of information systems and the organisational context they are embedded in. Last but not least, we want to offer a common platform for Computer Scientist and Information Systems researchers. The benefits of such a cross-disciplinary conception are contrasted by a challenge: Authors who submit a paper take the risk to be assessed by standards that are different from those they are used to in their own communities. The CBI's organisation accounts for this challenge. It comprises various domains that represent certain communities. Domains may overlap. They are represented by two domain coordinators. To encourage submissions both from Computer Science and Information Systems, the domains are, if possible, coordinated by representatives of both disciplines. The domain coordinators are in charge of supervising the reviewing process and forming tracks depending on the collection of accepted papers. Tracks are not only intended to represent a certain subject area, but also to include papers from different communities. CBI 2015 will include the following domains: Business Process Engineering, Business Systems Engineering, Business Data Engineering, Business Models & Service Innovation, Enterprise Engineering & Enterprise Architecture, Method Engineering, Modelling in Business Informatics, Industrial Services. Goal of the IEEE CBI conference series The goal of the CBI series of conferences is to bring together existing Business Informatics related research domains and stimulate discussion, synergy and integration of their respective research results and activities. Accordingly, the CBI conferences use a format that enables an in depth discussions among researchers in their respective domains during the conference. Call for Workshop Proposals The organising committee of the 17th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2015) invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The overall purpose of a workshop is to provide participants with the opportunity to present and discuss novel research ideas on areas relevant to business informatics. CBI 2015 workshops provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic related to the conference scope. Often, workshops concentrate on an emerging topic of technical interest, unique area of application for enterprise computing, or a community-wide issue that deserves specialized attention. This year, CBI workshops introduce two novelties: First, CBI workshops could select between two following types of proceedings: 1. IEEE proceedings. Workshops will have to comply with the acceptance rate requirements from IEEE and with the standard maximum paper length. They will have also to synchronize their submission/acceptance deadlines to the main conference deadlines. 2. On-line CEUR volume. The CEUR volume will be marked as the “Complementary CBI proceedings”. If desired, and it would not lead to a violation of the CEUR minimum size requirements, a workshop can have its own volume. The CBI co-location must be made explicit. Second, workshops could be submitted as “mini Dagstuhl” seminar. In addition to traditional workshops, we encourage the submission of proposals that follow the model of the renowned Dagstuhl seminars. These seminars put specific emphasis on open and enthusiastic discourses. Participation is by invitation only and restricted to experts in the area of a seminar’s topic. A “mini Dagstuhl” seminar may take one day or a half day. A typical structure would include short introductory statements by all participants, which may be followed by focused debates, panel discussion, short presentations, breakout sessions etc. Workshops should address topics that satisfy the following criteria: * The topic falls in the general scope of CBI 2015 (http://cbi-series.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3a29ef3b623c5b69f4cc8c9…). * CBI workshops should attract an international and sufficiently large audience interested in the topic. * Limited overlap with existing workshops co-located with CBI (the list of workshops is available at http://cbi-series.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3a29ef3b623c5b69f4cc8c9…). The potential overlap will be checked with the scientific committee of the corresponding workshop. Successful workshops are required to organise their own reviewing process and website, as well as co-ordinate the collection and delivery of camera ready material and copyright transfer, in line with their choice for proceedings. Workshops could opt for accepting “rejected” papers from the main conference. In this case, they will have to synchronize their submission/acceptance deadlines to the main conference deadlines. Important Dates * Workshop Proposals: December 15, 2014 * Workshop Proposal Notification: January 2, 2015 Proposal Details Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, the goals of the workshop, and the size of the interested community. Organizers are encouraged to focus on mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations and to differentiate themselves clearly from typical conference sessions. Proposals should be not more than 4 pages in length, should be in text or PDF format.

Kushniurk//(ACMI Fellow)/ School of Health Information Science, University of Victoria Victoria, Canada Email:andrek@uvic.ca <mailto:%20andrek@uvic.ca> Â This special issue of the KM&EL international journal is dedicated to coverage of advances in the emerging area of eHealth literacy. Methods for assessing the extent to which people can find, understand and use health information obtained from electronic sources (i.e. eHealth literacy) are needed in order to improve the effectiveness of healthcare in the age of mobile and virtual healthcare. Indeed an increasing number of information systems and resources have been designed for use by the general population as well as specific patient and lay populations such as the elderly, disabled and the young. However, there currently exists a huge range of systems and health IT applications and the extent to which they meet the information and understanding needs of end users is often questionable. Indeed many health systems, websites and on-line resources have been criticized for not only lack of usability but also for issues related to the content of information, its understandability, its usefulness and its presentation. In addition, new methods (that can draw from areas such as health literacy, as well as user-centered and participatory health IT design processes) are needed to fine-tune and improve the uptake of information presented to users in order to improve the health of the general population. In this call we invite papers that describe advances in understanding health literacy as it relates to use of on-line health resources and the concept of eHealth literacy itself.Â In addition, the special issue is interested in new approaches to improving health and eHealth literacy, and improving the adoption of systems and information resources targeted to patients, lay people and the general population, as well as specific subgroups (such as the elderly, disabled and young people). This can be through improved educational initiatives as well as improved system and information resource design and evaluation. Studies evaluating health and eHealth literacy using information technologies are also welcome. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * eHealth literacy as a concept * The relation of eHealth literacy to health literacy research * Advances in the application of concepts from eHealth literacy in the design and deployment of new information technologies * Research on the potential and opportunities for improving the uptake of health related information using eHealth, web technologies, mobile health applications and virtual health applications * Approaches to measuring and assessing eHealth literacy * Approaches to assessing user needs regarding health information and its understanding and translation into practice * Approaches to designing health information systems for the public that better take into account the information needs, understanding, capacity as well as limitations of end users * Best practices for incorporating advanced health information technology into daily health practices and promotion. * Approaches and technologies for providing distance health information and support to lay people and patients * Results of studies examining eHealth literacy * Educational practices and approaches to improving eHealth literacy * New developments, trends and approaches to e-learning and distance education of the general public that takes into consideration eHealth literacy This issue is designed to elicit both theoretical and applied papers that describe efforts around eHealth literacy. We are interested in both theoretical and applied papers that aim to improve healthcare and specifically improve uptake of health information by the wider population using information technologies and online resources. We would like to stimulate interest in the issues across academia, practice, industry, research and policy and therefore we welcome focused papers from all sectors. *_Important Dates_*_*Â *_ Submission due: 15th September, 2015 Notification of acceptance: 15thNovember, 2015 Publication schedule: December, 2015 (Vol. 7.
