-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers: DIS2014 Workshop on Environments for Creative Interaction Design Processes Datum: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 21:26:26 +0100 Von: Peter Dalsgaard <dalsgaard(a)cavi.dk> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org [our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] CALL FOR PAPERS DIS 2014 WORKSHOP: ENVIRONMENTS FOR CREATIVE INTERACTION DESIGN PROCESSES DIS 2014 workshop, Vancouver: June 21, 2014 Website: http://pit.au.dk/DIS-Env Description: The theme of the workshop is to examine the nature of creative processes as part of designing interactive systems. In particular, the workshop will focus on the how we can organize design sessions to improve creative processes, for instance by setting up environments or spaces that support creative activities. In order to provide insights for how such environments can be set up, the workshop will explore a number of themes related to creative design processes, including, but not limited to: Individual and social activities, Creativity constraints, Transformation of design ideas, Generative design materials, and Creativity methods. To participate: In order to address various perspectives on and approaches to creativity in interaction design processes, and to promote cross-pollination of ideas across these varying perspectives in the workshop, we invite contributions in the following categories: *1) Design methods and techniques* Specific methods or techniques, preferably well-tested in practice, that are intended to facilitate creativity and innovation in design processes. These may address ways of involving users throughout all or stretches of a design process, or they may focus on specific events such as workshops, mock-up sessions etc. Contribu-tions may also present methods or techniques that facilitate turning creative and innovative user input into viable design solutions. *2) Theoretical perspectives* We also invite contributions that address ways of understanding, analysing and discussing creativity and innovation in the design process. These may address the nature of creativity, theories on collaborative innovation, transformation of ideas into design solutions, artefact-mediated innovation etc. *3) Case studies* We further invite participants to contribute with case studies including micro-analytic studies of design sessions that present examples of processes leading to successful innovative design solutions. The case studies should focus on the process by which the innovative solutions came forth rather than on the resulting products or prototypes. Through the selection of participants for the workshop we will strive to cover a broad range of domains from urban settings, the workplace, the home, as well as digital art. We are also soliciting proposals for hand-on activities in which a specific method for collaborative design innovation is carried out by workshop participant. The format for position paper is 2-4 pages in the ACM Extended Abstract format: http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format *Submissions* must be mailed to: DIS.Environment(a)cavi.au.dk <mailto:DIS.Environment@cavi.au.dk> *Deadline: *March 21, 2014. *Further information:* http://pit.au.dk/DIS-Env * * *Organizers:* Peter Dalsgaard, Aarhus University, Denmark Kim Halskov, Aarhus University, Denmark

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: 1st Workshop on Enterprise Engineering Theories and Methods (WEETM 2014) @ the 16th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2014) - July, Geneva, Switzerland

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: 1st Workshop on Enterprise Engineering Theories and Methods (WEETM 2014) @ the 16th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2014) - July, Geneva, Switzerland Datum: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 23:56:30 +0000 Von: David Aveiro <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> Antwort an: David Aveiro <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 2nd CfP: 1st Workshop on Enterprise Engineering Theories and Methods (WEETM 2014) @ the 16th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2014) - July, Geneva, Switzerland Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Enterprise Engineering Theories and Methods (WEETM 2014) In conjunction with the 16th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2014) <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0HDhoAAB1SDQ> - July, Geneva, Switzerland Important date - Abstract submission: March 28th Motivation Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences, and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These responsibilities can only be borne if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the construction of the enterprise given by a sound engineering approach. Goals and Scope The workshop's primary goal is promoting active discussions centered on theories and methods for the discipline of Enterprise Engineering (EE). We seek to develop a foundation of sound theories over which methodologies can be built and used to effectively engineer and manage enterprises. Hence our main scope is on the presentation, discussion and evolution of EE theories and/or methods. These can be: (1) inspired or related to the postulates of the "Enterprise Engineering Manifesto" and/or the principles in the paper "A discipline of Enterprise Engineering" as proposed by members of the CIAO! research network <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0KSlUBTlBX>; or (2) other original EE theories and/or methods. The CIAO! network aims at disseminating and developing EE with sound theories as a base and, with this workshop, seeks constructive discussion within the network itself and with other groups and individuals interested to contribute to the body of knowledge of the EE discipline. Submissions Currently proposed EE-theories by the CIAO! network are divided in four categories: philosophical, ontological, ideological and technological. The CIAO! internet forum <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0GAxoAAB1SDQ> provides research documentation for download as well as an active discussion forum on topics related to these theories and other EE topics. Having this context in mind, we look for submissions of research papers of three types: (1) that improve current CIAO! EE-theories or propose other EE-theories that enrich the EE discipline; (2) that propose methods based on CIAO! or other EE-theories; and (3) application or usage of CIAO! or other EE-theories. Journal Publication Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended and revised versions of their work to a Special Issue on Enterprise Engineering Theories and Methods of the International Journal on Organization Design and Engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0HDxoAAB1SDQ> (IJODE). These extended papers will be target of a new peer review process. Topics and submission process Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Business Process Management * Business Process Modeling and Simulation * Business Rules * Business Rules Management * Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling * Component-Based System Development * Domain Ontologies * Domain Reference Ontologies * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Engineering * Enterprise Governance * Enterprise Modeling and Simulation * Enterprise Ontology * Information System Architectures * Information System Ontologies * Information Systems Design * Information Systems Development * Modeling (cross-enterprise) Business Processes * Participatory Systems * Reference Models for (cross-enterprise) Business Processes * Service Oriented Architecture * Service Oriented Design Papers have to be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to IEEE camera-ready format and should not exceed 10 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. For submissions please go to our Easychair workshop page <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=fU0GBhoAAB1SDQ> and sign-up or sign-in, submit your abstract and upload your paper taking in account the dates specified below. Important note: Since the review process is double-blind, please make sure that your names and affiliations are not listed in the paper submitted for review! Important Dates Abstract submission: March 28, 2014 (not mandatory*) Paper submission: April 4, 2014 Acceptance notification: May 1, 2014 Camera ready: May 15, 2014 WEETM: July 14-17, 2014 * please do submit your abstract as soon as possible so we can better organize our review assignments beforehand Workshop format The workshop will prioritize discussion time over presentation time. We aim either for a half-day workshop session with 4 paper presentations or for a full day with 8 to 10 paper presentations. The first or only session will have the following structure: * Workshop opening (10 min) - presentation of workshop goals, topics and format; short introduction of all workshop participants * Paper presentations - (120 min) 4 papers with 30 min/paper (20 min presentation + 10 min Q&A) * Coffee-break (20 min) * Keynote address (30 min: 25 min presentation + 5 min Q&A) * Round-table discussion - 60 min In case there are sufficient papers for a full day workshop, then the second session will share a similar structure: more paper presentations and another keynote address followed by another round table discussion. The round-table discussion(s) will be previously prepared by the organizers and will be directed towards addressing a set of of topics posted on the workshop website beforehand and, if possible, related with the papers to be presented. The keynote address presentation(s) will also, if possible, be adjusted to the topics of interest target of the workshop's papers so that the round-table discussions following them are lively and informed. Moreover, the presented papers will be also distributed beforehand to all registered workshop participants to foster discussion and promoting a spirited discussion giving body to this workshop's goals.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: The International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud Datum: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 10:56:22 +0000 Von: M. Younas <m.younas(a)brookes.ac.uk> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> -----------------------Call for Papers (Deadline Extended)---------------------------- The 2nd International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud-2014) 27-29 August 2014, Barcelona, Spain http://scim.brad.ac.uk/~iawan/FiCloud-2014/ [Technically co-sponsored by the Technical Committee on the Internet of the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS TCI)] The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing. Conference Tracks: - Network Design and Architecture - Software Architecture and Middleware - Mobile Services - IoT and Cloud Data Management - Context Awareness in Cloud and IoT - Security, Privacy and Reliability - Performance Evaluation and Modelling - Standards in Cloud and IoT - Networking and Communication Protocols - Machine to Machine communication protocols - Smart Environment - Industry Track - General Track-Future IoT and Cloud Computing Publication: All papers accepted for this conference will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Service (CPS).

Existing approaches mainly rely on parts of text in which opinions and sentiments are explicitly expressed such as polarity terms, affect words and their co-occurrence frequencies. However, opinions and sentiments are often conveyed implicitly through latent semantics, which make purely syntactical approaches ineffective. To this end, concept-level sentiment analysis aims to go beyond a mere word-level analysis of text and provide novel approaches to opinion mining and sentiment analysis that allow a more efficient passage from (unstructured) textual information to (structured) machine-processable data, in potentially any domain. Concept-level sentiment analysis focuses on a semantic analysis of text through the use of web ontologies or semantic networks, which allow the aggregation of conceptual and affective information associated with natural language opinions. By relying on large semantic knowledge bases, concept-level sentiment analysis steps away from blind use of keywords and word co-occurrence count, but rather relies on the implicit features associated with natural language concepts. This Challenge focuses on the introduction, presentation, and discussion of novel approaches to concept-level sentiment analysis. Participants will have to design a concept-level opinion-mining engine that exploits common-sense knowledge bases, e.g., SenticNet, and/or Linked Data and Semantic Web ontologies, e.g., DBPedia, to perform multi-domain sentiment analysis. The main motivation for the Challenge, in particular, is to go beyond a mere word-level analysis of natural language text and provide novel concept-level tools and techniques that allow a more efficient passage from (unstructured) natural language to (structured) machine-processable data, in potentially any domain. Systems must have a semantics flavor (e.g., by making use of Linked Data or known semantic networks within their core functionalities) and authors need to show how the introduction of semantics can be used to obtain valuable information, functionality or performance. Existing natural language processing methods or statistical approaches can be used too as long as the semantics plays a main role within the core approach (engines based merely on syntax/word-count will be excluded from the competition). TARGET AUDIENCE The Challenge is open to everyone from industry and academia. TASKS The Concept-Level Sentiment Analysis Challenge is defined in terms of different tasks. The first task is elementary whereas the others are more advanced. The input units of each task are sentences. Sentences are assumed to be in grammatically correct American English and have to be processed according to the input format specified at http://sentic.net/challenge/sentence. * Elementary Task: Polarity Detection The main goal of the task is polarity detection. The proposed systems will be assessed according to precision, recall and F-measure of detected binary polarity values (1=positive; 0=negative) for each input sentence of the evaluation dataset, following the same format as in http://sentic.net/challenge/task0. The problem of subjectivity detection is not addressed within this Challenge, hence participants can assume that there will be no neutral sentences. Participants are encouraged to use the Sentic API or further develop and apply sentic computing tools. * Advanced Task #1: Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis The output of this task will be a set of aspects of the reviewed product and a binary polarity value associated to each of such aspects, in the format specified at http://sentic.net/challenge/task1. So, for example, while for the Elementary task an overall polarity (positive or negative) is expected for a review about a mobile phone, this task requires a set of aspects (such as 'speaker', 'touchscreen', 'camera', etc.) and a polarity value (positive OR negative) associated with each of such aspects. Systems will be assessed according to both aspect extraction and aspect polarity detection. * Advanced Task #2: Semantic Parsing As suggested by the title, the Challenge focuses on sentiment analysis at concept-level. This means that the proposed systems are not supposed to work at word/syntax level but rather work with concepts/semantics. Hence, this task will evaluate the capability of the proposed systems to deconstruct natural language text into concepts, following the same format as in http://sentic.net/challenge/task2. SenticNet will be taken as a reference to test the efficiency of the proposed parsers, but extracted concepts won't necessary have to match SenticNet concepts. The proposed systems, for example, are supposed to be able to extract a multi-word expression like 'buy christmas present' from sentences such as 'Today I bought a lot of very nice Christmas presents'. The number of extracted concepts per sentence will be assessed through precision, recall and F-measure against the evaluation dataset. * Advanced Task #3: Topic Spotting Input sentences will be about four different domains, namely: books, DVDs, electronics, and kitchen appliances. This task focuses on the automatic classification of sentences into one of such domains, in the format specified at http://sentic.net/challenge/task3. All sentences are assumed to belong to only one of the above-mentioned domains. The proposed systems are supposed to exploit the extracted concepts to infer which domain each sentence belongs to. Classification accuracy will be evaluated in terms of precision, recall and F-measure against the evaluation dataset. EVALUATION DATASET Systems will be evaluated against a testing dataset which will be revealed and released after the first-round of evaluation during the Conference. The dataset will be made public on the challenge website. Participants are suggested to train and/or test their own systems using the Blitzer Dataset. The testing dataset will be constructed in the same way and from the same sources as the Blitzer dataset. EVALUATION The evaluation will be performed by the members of the Program Committee. For systems that can be tuned with different parameters, please indicate a range of up to 4 sets of settings. Settings with the best F-measures will be considered for judgment. For each system, reviewers will give a numerical score within the range [1-10] and details motivating their choice. The scores will be given to the following aspects: 1. Use of common-sense knowledge and semantics; 2. Precision, recall, and F-measure wrt the selected task; 3. Computational time; 4. Innovative nature of the approach. JUDGING AND PRIZES After a first round of review, the Program Committee and the chairs will select a number of submissions confirming to the challenge requirements that will be invited to present their work. Submissions accepted for presentation will be included in post-proceedings and will receive constructive reviews from the Program Committee. All accepted submissions will have a slot in a poster session dedicated to the challenge. In addition, the winners will present their work in a special slot of the main program of ESWC and will be invited to submit a paper to a dedicated Semantic Web Journal special issue. For the Concept-Level Sentiment Analysis Challenge there will be two awards for each task: * Quantitative: the system with the highest average score in items 1-3 above; * Innovative: the system with the highest score in item 4 above. There will be a board of judges at the conference who will evaluate again the systems in more detail. The judges will then meet in private to discuss the entries and to determine the winners. It may happen that the same system runs for both the awards. Winners will be selected only for tasks with at least 3 participants. In any case all submissions will be reviewed and, if accepted, published in ESWC post-proceedings. An amount of 700 euros has already been secured for the first task for what the first point of the evaluation aspects is concerned. We are currently working on securing further funding. HOW TO PARTICIPATE The following information has to be provided: * Abstract: no more than 200 words. * Description: It should contain the details of the system, including why the system is innovative, how it uses Semantic Web, which features or functions the system provides, what design choices were made and what lessons were learned.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP HICSS 2015 Minitrack: Organizational Impact of Online Games Datum: Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:38:17 -0700 Von: Kafui Monu <kafuimonu(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers HICSS 2015 Minitrack Title: Organizational Impact of Online Games Part of the Internet and Digital Economy Track Details: January 5-8, 2015 Grand Hyatt, Kauai Website: www.hicss.hawaii.edu<http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/> For over a decade, online games have impacted how we engage in play, commerce and work. Organisations are using online games to create new business models; and companies are training their employees with game-like systems. Furthermore, digital video games increasingly blur the line between online and offline content, while "gamification: blurs the line between games and business information systems. This mini-track will provide a forum for researchers to discuss the design, use and impact of online games in various contexts. We are specifically interested in research on the information systems concepts of online games (e.g. a study that identifies the information system designs of successful "free-to-play" online games). The general purpose of this mini track is to focus on research that investigates the use of information system concepts, theories, methods, tools and practices in online digital games. There is burgeoning research investigating the use of online games. Studies have been conducted on how people socialise using features in online games and how game design affects interactive play. Recent studies have investigated how games create virtual economies and new business models. And lastly, work has been conducted on how businesses use games to increase employee engagement and embed games in customer facing business processes. Based on the mini-tracks focus, we are interested in work that provides insights into how games change our world. For example, studies on the interaction between information system design and the game design in online environments; research on the mix of game design and information technology in the creation and impact of virtual economies; and work conducted on the gamification of business processes. Relevant topics may include (but are not limited to): Gamification Game Design Game Business Models Game Economies Serious Games in the workplace Deadlines: June 15: Submit full manuscripts for review. The review is double-blind; therefore this submission must be without author names. August 15: Acceptance notices are emailed to authors by the Review System. At least one author of each accepted paper must immediately make plans to attend the conference. September 15: Accepted authors submit Final Paper. Early Registration fee deadline. At least one author of each paper should register by Sept 15 in order secure publication in the Conference Proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP - Personalised Multilingual Information Access (PMIA) at UMAP 2014 Datum: Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:07:51 -0700 Von: Ben Steichen <steichen(a)cs.ubc.ca> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de --------------- Call for Papers --------------- The 1st International Workshop on Personalised Multilingual Information Access (PMIA 2014) http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~steichen/PMIA2014 <http://www.cs.ubc.ca/%7Esteichen/PMIA2014> held in conjunction with the 22nd Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP 2014), Aalborg, Denmark, July 7-11, 2014. -------- Overview -------- With the unrelenting rise in global information production and usage, systems increasingly need to handle 1) a growing variety of user differences (including language, culture, situational context), and 2) heterogeneous and multilingual information sources. This full-day workshop aims tackle these challenges by bringing together researchers working on cross-/multi-lingual information access, personalisation for web and hypermedia, personalised search, information seeking, multilingual interfaces, multilingual semantic web, and recommender systems. The aim is to share, discuss, and combine ideas for novel solutions that support users according to their particular language abilities, as well as other characteristics (e.g. culture, domain expertise) and contexts (e.g. intent, topic) that influence what and how information should be retrieved, composed, and presented. The workshop aims to both advance the current state of the art in personalised multilingual information access, as well as to develop a detailed roadmap that identifies the most pressing current and future research challenges (e.g. novel information access interfaces, evaluation of complex systems). Themes of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: . Individual user characteristics that influence information access, e.g. language proficiency, culture, personality, user intent, topic domain . Modeling of user profiles, e.g. multilingual data collection, model creation, model exploitation . Adaptive systems for personalised multilingual information access, e.g. personalised search, recommender systems . Novel interfaces, e.g. presentations of content in multiple languages, search result presentation beyond the ranked list paradigm, document summarisation . Tools and methods for multilingual and cross lingual search . Content analysis and processing, e.g. knowledge extraction, duplication detection . Content translation and localisation . Multilingual semantic web, including search and extraction . External knowledge resources for personalised multilingual information access (e.g. ontologies) . Domain modeling (e.g. adaptation to different domains) . Issues and dangers of personalisation, e.g. over-personalisation (also known as "the filter bubble"), privacy issues . Personalisation of multilingual tools . Evaluation methods and metrics for personalised multilingual information access, e.g. how to evaluate compositions from multiple languages, aggregate search evaluation. ----------- Submissions ----------- We encourage submissions from diverse backgrounds and aim to promote the exchange of ideas between researchers working in the above-mentioned areas. In addition, submissions that focus on non-English data, or research with a clear application in a multilingual scenario are equally welcome. We invite submissions of more established ideas and methods as long papers (8 pages), preliminary work as short papers (4 pages), and demo/poster papers (2 pages). For full details on the submission format and procedure, please refer to the Submission Instructions page at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~steichen/PMIA2014/submission.html <http://www.cs.ubc.ca/%7Esteichen/PMIA2014/submission.html>. Papers will be selected based on originality, quality, and ability to promote discussion. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings and published by CEUR. Extended versions of selected workshop papers may be included in a special journal issue (TBD). At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop. --------------- Important dates --------------- Apr 01, 2014: Submission Deadline May 01, 2014: Notification to Authors May 15, 2014: Camera-ready Due Jul 07 (tentative): Workshop day -------------------- Organizing Committee -------------------- Ben Steichen (University of British Columbia, Canada) - steichen(a)cs.ubc.ca <mailto:steichen@cs.ubc.ca> Maristella Agosti (University of Padua, Italy) - agosti(a)dei.unipd.it <mailto:agosti@dei.unipd.it> Séamus Lawless (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) - seamus.lawless(a)scss.tcd.ie <mailto:seamus.lawless@scss.tcd.ie> Vincent Wade (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) - vincent.wade(a)scss.tcd.ie <mailto:vincent.wade@scss.tcd.ie> For further questions please contact a member of the organising committee. -- Dr. Ben Steichen Department of Computer Science University of British Columbia 2366 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T14Z, Canada www.cs.ubc.ca/~steichen/ <http://www.cs.ubc.ca/%7Esteichen/>
