-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ACM MEDES 2014: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 10:22:05 +0100 Von: Youakim Badr <youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr> An: medes(a)acm.org * Please distribute widely and accept our apologies for cross-posting * *************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************** The 6th International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2014) In-Cooperation with ACM, ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6 http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/14/ September 15-17, 2014 Buraidah-Al Qassim, Saudi Arabi Description and Objectives --------------------------- In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creat ing. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- MEDES 2014 seeks contributions in the following 10 areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Cloud computing 3. Emergent Intelligence 4. Service systems and Engineering 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] LABEM 2014 - "1st Workshop: Lowering the adoption barrier of enterprise modelling" In conjunction with IEEE CBI'14 - Geneva, July 2014 Datum: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 16:50:29 +0100 Von: jean-sebastien.sottet(a)tudor.lu An: planetmde(a)imag.fr, AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org, seworld(a)sigsoft.org Dear colleagues, In line with the deadline extension for the IEEE CBI 2014, there is a deadline extension for the workshop LABEM, co-located with the IEEE CBI conference. Extended deadline is 16.03.2014. Below you will find more information about the event. Up-to-date information can be found on http://labem.ee-team.eu. 1st Workshop: Lowering the adoption barrier of enterprise modelling In conjunction with IEEE CBI'14 - Geneva, July 2014 Call for Papers - Lowering the adoption barrier of enterprise modelling (LABEM) Important dates 16 March 2014 Paper submission (submission site) 27 April 2014 Notification of acceptance 15 May 2014 Camera-ready copy Aims This workshop aims to raise the awareness on human dimensions immanent to enterprise modelling, and to underline the need for their better support by modelling technologies. The success of an enterprise modelling effort heavily depends on the involvement and participation of a broader stakeholder group (e.g. process owners, domain experts, key decision-makers). In this context, models could be considered to act as boundary objects between different participants' communities -- typically, but not limited to -- stakeholders, on one side, and modelling experts on the other. To allow for better involvement of such audience in the enterprise modelling effort, the means used for modelling (i.e. primarily methods, modelling languages and tools) should be intuitive and as non-intrusive as possible. It is, however, a common observation in practice that standard modelling notations and dedicated tools offer unsatisfactory support with this regard, as they are rather focused on more technical aspects of modelling. This not only creates burden to stakeholder involvement, but also slows down the maturation of enterprise modelling practices. Effectively supporting these, inherently human, aspects of modelling is a tremendous challenge. Nonetheless, there is a growing research interest in this topic across different research communities, in particular in software engineering, information systems, and human-computer interaction. With this respect, LABEM workshop aims to explore, discuss and elaborate on challenges related to including human aspects of modelling into enterprise modelling research agenda. The workshop is conceived as platform to interactively discuss how this dimension should be addressed from the epistemological, methodological, as well as technological perspective. We also aim to discuss design-oriented approaches having the potential to lower down the barrier to enterprise modelling. Given a cross-disciplinary nature of the topic, we hope to attract research contributions drawing on the surrounding disciplines, such as computer science, information systems, management science, cognitive science, linguistics, etc. In doing so, our ambition is to foster the development of a cross-disciplinary community around this research topic. Topics We encourage both academics and practitioners to share their ongoing research, reflections as well as their insights from practical experiences. The suggested topics include, but are not limited to: Philosophical, cognitive and linguistic aspects of conceptual/enterprise modelling Adaptability, configurability, extensibility of modelling languages, Flexibility of modelling tools Non-intrusive and intuitive modelling support Man-model interaction, e.g. tangible modelling, cognitive aspects of interaction, etc. Combined use of imprecise and/or incomplete models with more structured and precise models Challenges of dealing with incomplete and imprecise models, relaxed conformance, etc. Approaches to foster stakeholder involvement, participation and collaboration in conceptual/enterprise modelling Case studies, return on experiences Event description LABEM is intended as a highly interactive event and will be co-located with the 16th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2014) in Geneva, Switzerland on July 14-17, 2014. As it aims to be an interactive workshop, a short time will be given to paper presentations. The presentations should preferably aim at discussion, presenting the problems and issues related to lowering the adoption barrier of enterprise modelling. Paper types The submissions should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to the LABEM topics as listed. We strongly encourage submissions adopting a cross-disciplinary perspective on the topic. Paper submissions from industry as well as from young researchers (MSc or PhD researchers) are also welcomed. Two types of submissions are invited: regular papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages). Submission guidelines All papers must be prepared in accordance with the IEEE camera-ready and should be submitted in PDF format at labem2014. Work submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the duration of consideration. At least one author of accepted papers is expected to present the paper at the LABEM workshop. Proceedings The workshop proceedings will be included in the IEEE library alongside the CBI conference proceedings. Advisory board Henderik A.

Fwd: [WI] UMUAI Special Issue on Personality in Personalized Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Mar '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] UMUAI Special Issue on Personality in Personalized Systems Datum: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 18:20:01 -0700 Von: 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.
