The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange ideas on the opportunities and challenges in social computing systems as they relate to healthcare and public health. We invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in any aspect of social computing with research focus on health, healthcare, or public health. Social Computing Technologies (SCT) offers users opportunities for connectedness, participation, engagement, collaboration, and opportunities for offering/receiving social support. These applications/systems gather abundance of information that when mined and analyzed will further enrich their services or help researchers understand many different things including social dynamics of people, wisdom of crowd, social construction and sharing of knowledge, etc. As a result, SCT can be leveraged to empower both health professional and citizens. Online Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, QuitNet are increasingly being used for health-related purposes. A 2013 online survey suggests that 59.9% patients used Twitter for increasing knowledge and exchanging advice and 52.3% used Facebook for social support and exchanging advice. Novel techniques for information analysis, reuse, and integration are critical to make sense of health- related information. Systematic approaches, design principles, and evaluation strategies need to be researched for developing effective health-related social computing applications. Other challenges in social computing include accommodating privacy, security, and trust expectations of users or separating good information from noise. We invite research or position papers from researchers and practitioners working in any aspect of social computing with research focus on health, healthcare, or public health. *Example topics*, but not limited to, include: â?¢ Design, modeling, and simulation of socially aware health technology â?¢ Demonstration cases of using existing social media platforms (e.g., twitter, facebook) for health research â?¢ Social network analysis for the purpose of understanding or intervening upon health related outcomes â?¢ Behavioral intervention implemented through social media platforms â?¢ Disease & health management using social media applications â?¢ Crowdsourcing health or biomedical research â?¢ Public health resource sensing or crowdsourcing of public health resources â?¢ In-time, in-place healthcare information through social media â?¢ Design and evaluation of online patient communities with social network features â?¢ Healthcare/mHealth Social Networks â?¢ Data protection (Privacy, Security, Trust) in healthcare social networks â?¢ Empowerment of patients and healthcare professionals â?¢ Design and evaluation of social game for health education & awareness â?¢ Classification and categorization of health information in social media â?¢ Mining of big Data for population health monitoring or intervention â?¢ Social computing application for health & wellness management All contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts.Â *Papers should be 4-6 pages (English) in IEEE format*, including bibliography and well-marked appendices.

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers - DChanges 2014: ACM DocEng Workshop on (Document) Changes: modeling, detection, storage and visualization
by Gustaf Neumann 29 May '14

29 May '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers - DChanges 2014: ACM DocEng Workshop on (Document) Changes: modeling, detection, storage and visualization Datum: Thu, 29 May 2014 13:31:24 +0000 Von: Angelo Di Iorio <diiorio(a)cs.unibo.it> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ** Apologies for cross-posting ** 2nd International Workshop on (Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage and Visualization http://diff.cs.unibo.it/dchanges2014/ Part of ACM DocEng 2014 September 16th, 2014, Fort Collins, near Denver, Colorado /*** DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: JUNE 13th (Short Abstracts are due: June 6th) ***/ CALL FOR PAPERS =============== DChanges 2014 is the second edition of the International Workshop on (Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage and Visualization in conjunction with the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering. This year, the workshop will be held in Fort Collins, near Denver, Colorado in September 2014. The goal of this series of events is to share ideas, common issues and principles about models and algorithms for change tracking and detection, versioning and collaborative editing. We want to look at these topics from different perspectives and want to identify the most common issues and the peculiarities of each domain and each approach. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia, to discuss these issues in an informal setting and to foster collaboration among them. The 2014 edition will be focused on the interpretation, visualisation and exploitation of changes. One of last edition's outcomes was that we identified the need for novel interfaces to better understand and exploit detected changes. Several issues were pointed out as still unsolved: interfaces do not scale when dealing with many changes, changes at different levels of abstraction are often not sufficiently taken into account, detection and visualization are often inter-mixed, logs are often detailed but underexploited, and versioning techniques are not very well suited for non-technical people. Submissions on other topics are also welcome. We also seek contributions on, but not necessarily limited to: * Diffing and change tracking algorithms * Detecting changes on complex data structures * High-level differences * Change modeling and representation * Novel approaches to tree-based diff * Detecting changes on trees, graphs, diagrams and any kind of document * Edit-distance measures * Quality of deltas and patches * Editing patterns * Semantic diff * Merging * Management of update conflicts * N-way merge algorithms * Propagation of changes * Applications * Applications of diff techniques from and to other domains * software engineering, ontology management, humanities, law, medicine * Versioning systems * Collaborative editors Program -------- The workshop will run a full day, and be divided in two parts, in order to emphasize both theoretical/algorithmic aspects and practical applications. Ample space will be given to peer discussions and brainstorming about the results of the presentations and the ideas brought forth by participants. A detailed schedule will be announced in July. We are honoured to announce that the keynote will be given by Jean-Yves Vion-Dury. Proceedings ----------- We will publish workshop post-proceedings via the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. Authors are required to submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages long) that will undergo a single blind review process. Accepted extended abstracts will be available during the workshop. The best extended abstracts will also be included in the DocEng proceedings. Full papers (4-8 pages long) are due after the workshop and will be included in the post-proceedings. Important Dates --------------- Authors are required to submit an extended abstract before the workshop and a full paper after the workshop: * Short Abstracts are due: June 6th * Extended Abstracts (2-4 pages) are due: June 13th /*** extended deadline ***/ * Acceptance notice: July 4th * Camera ready: July 20th * Workshop: September 16th * Full papers are due (4-8 pages): October 3rd * Acceptance notice: October 24th * Camera ready: November 14th Paper submission ---------------- Papers must be submitted to the EasyChair site (available soon).

Big data analytics is currently generating tremendous fascination worldwide. This trend is largely driven by the pervasive diffusion and adoption of mobile devices, social media tools, and the Internet of Things (IoT) or Web of Things (WoT) due to RFID and other RF-related tracking and sensor devices. The IoT allows the possibility of tracking and tracing any tagged mobile object as it moves through the value chain thus producing unprecedented end-to-end supply chain visibility. This creates tremendous opportunities for operational and strategic benefits. However, the effective management of this new visibility for improved decision making requires the combination and analysis of data from item-level identification using RFID, sensors, satellites, social media feeds, photos, video and cell phone GPS signals; in short, big data analytics. While the IoT and big data analytics have tremendous potential for transforming various industries, many scholars and practitioners are struggling to understand these concepts and capture the business value from combining the IoT and big data analytics. In addition, very few empirical studies have been conducted to assess the real potential of the IoT and big data analytics. We encourage authors to share new and interesting theoretical and methodological perspectives on topics relevant to both academic researchers and practitioners. We welcome work-in-progress that examines existing and extended theory using the IoT and big data analytics as the technologies of focus and case studies of organizations implementing the IoT and big data analytics inside and outside their span of control. We give special consideration to research submissions when the author(s) commit to include an industry partner in their presentation. We welcome research that reflects a range of current research methods including case studies, analytical models, econometrics, and frameworks. The following areas are suggestive of the range of topics that are considered suitable: ·Detailed case studies of the IoT and big data analytics implementation and usage ·Methods for developing the business case for the IoT and big data analytics adoption ·Forecasting the technical evolution of the IoT and big data analytics and their combined relationship to the economics of usage ·Impact of data-driven organizations using data from RF-related tracking and sensor devices on decision making ·IoT and big data-enabled e-commerce business models ·IoT and big data-enabled enterprise and network transformation ·IoT and big data-enabled supply chain management (SCM) ·IoT and big data-enabled customer relationship management (CRM) ·IoT and big data for industry-wide transformation ·Technical integration of the IoT and big data analytics tools with other applications ·Understanding the technical capabilities and limitations of the IoT and big data analytics ·Aligning inter-organizational governance, incentives, and ownership when the visibility in the supply chain is increased ·Safeguarding security and privacy in an environment of the IoT and big data analytics ·Mathematical properties of data analytics methods and statistical techniques Minitrack Co-Chairs Fred Riggins (Primary Contact) Accounting, Finance and MIS Dept College of Business North Dakota State University Fargo, ND 58108-6050 Tel: (701) 231-5102 Fax: (701) 231-6545 fred.riggins(a)ndsu.edu <mailto:fred.riggins@ndsu.edu> Samuel Fosso Wamba Department of Information Systems, Supply Chain and Decisions NEOMA Business School 1 Rue du Marechal Juin BP 215, 76825 Mont Saint Aignan Cedex samuel.fosso.wamba(a)neoma-bs.fr <mailto:samuel.fosso.wamba@neoma-bs.fr> Matthias Dehmer Institute for Bioinformatics and Translational Research UMIT - The Health and Lifesciences University Tyrol, Austria Tel: +43 (0)50 8648 3851 matthias.dehmer(a)umit.at <mailto:matthias.dehmer@umit.at> SUBMISSION PROCESS BY AUTHORS 2014 Dates June 15: Submit full manuscripts for review.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] UMUAI Special Issue on Personality in Personalized Systems Datum: Mon, 17 Mar 2014 14:38:20 +0100 Von: Marko Tkalcic <marko.tkalcic(a)gmail.com> An: abis(a)l3s.de, HCITALY(a)CNUCE.CNR.IT, chisigmail(a)chisig.org, chi-II(a)acm.org, cscw-all(a)jiscmail.ac.uk, ubicomp-announcements(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk, uai(a)ENGR.ORST.EDU, agents(a)cs.umbc.edu, kdml(a)cs.uni-kassel.de, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, game_edu(a)igda.org, hci-link-owner(a)lists.uni-paderborn.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.

ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which has led to a method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most studied relationship which is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL theorem provers, and CLP systems. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web), constraint satisfaction, and general means of external computation. This workshop will facilitate the discussion about crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving, and applications, in combination with or inspired by other computing paradigms.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP Data- and Artifact-Centric BPM (DAB'14) co-located with BPM'14 (due: 8th June) Datum: Tue, 27 May 2014 10:25:02 +0200 Von: Dirk Fahland <d.fahland(a)tue.nl> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> === Call for Papers ==================================================== 3rd International Workshop on Data- and Artifact-Centric BPM (DAB'14) September 8, Haifa, Israel // https://sites.google.com/site/dab32014/ submission deadline: June 8, 2014 (EXTENDED) --- co-located with ---------------------------------------------------- 12th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM'14) September 7-11, Haifa, Israel // http://bpm2014.haifa.ac.il/ === about the workshop ================================================= Traditionally the management of business operations caters around two key issues: control flow and data. Each of the two has attracted over the past years people both in academia and industry contributing a plethora of methods, and tools that have been designed to assist with the management of these two issues. Yet, the natural and yet independent evolution in both areas has led to a reality in which in many cases the handling of one issue is treated as an afterthought with respect to the other. Recently however, we see the emergence of paradigms that are aimed to blend control-flow and data, seeking for new approaches that may naturally and seamlessly unify the two in order to better streamline the overall complexity in BPM. Contemporary examples include Artifact-Centric BPM, Petri nets, and Case-Management. Therefore, the proposed workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners whose common interest and experience is in the study and development of new foundations, models, methods, and technologies that are intended to uniformly and holistically align data and control flow. We invite researchers from the BPM field as well as from related fields to submit papers that investigate the tight interplay between data and control flow. We aim at discussing the current state of ongoing research, as well as industry needs and sharing practical experiences. === topics ============================================================= We solicit papers that investigate the tight interplay between data and control flow in business processes, for example on the following topics: - Integrated data and process modeling - Declarative and constraint-based process modeling - Artifact-centric (a.k.a. Business-Entity or BEL) modeling - Data-centric flexible process management/Case management - Complex event processing - Data-centric collaborative business processes - Multi-perspective process mining and mining data-enriched process models - Data-aware conformance - Data-aware compliance - Integrated data and processes management on the Cloud - Composition and discovery techniques of data-centric processes - Process mining/data mining for Data- & Artifact-centric processes - Analysis of data-centric/artifact-centric processes - Data-centric process monitoring, QoS, SLA - Integration and interoperability of data-/artifact- centric BPM - Foundations to the integration of data and process in systems analysis - Data- and Artifact- centric BPM methods and methodologies - Empirical studies of Data- & Artifact- centric BPM === submission and proceedings ========================================= Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the areas of interest to the DAB workshop series. Only papers in English will be accepted. The length of the paper must not exceed 12 pages. All papers must be formatted in LNBIP format. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system. Link for submission: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dab2014 All submissions must be received no later than 8 June 2014, and must be in PDF format. All workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). The proceedings will be made available to all registered participants approximately four months after the workshops, while preliminary proceedings will be distributed during the workshop. === key dates ========================================================== - Workshop papers submission deadline: 8 June 2014 (extended) - Workshop papers notification deadline: 8 July 2014 - Workshop camera-ready papers deadline: 30 July 2014 - Workshops: 8 September 2014 === PC members (confirmed) ============================================= Alex Blekhman, Technion, Israel Rik Eshuis, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Dirk Fahland, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Dragan Gasevic, Athabasca University, Canada Thomas Hildebrandt, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark Lior Limonad, IBM Research Haifa, Israel Alessio Lomuscio, Imperial College London, UK Fabrizio M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: ARTEL14 @ ECTEL: 4th Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning Datum: Tue, 27 May 2014 07:50:26 +0000 Von: Viktoria Pammer <vpammer(a)know-center.at> Antwort an: Viktoria Pammer <vpammer(a)know-center.at> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *** Call for papers and demos *** 4th Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning (ARTEL 2014) to be held in the context of EC-TEL 2014, Graz (Austria): September 16 (Tuesday), 2014. Workshop webpage: http://teleurope.eu/artel14 Twitter hashtag: #artel14 *Rationale* Enhancing "awareness" of learners and other participants involved in learning processes by technology means augmenting formal or informal learning experiences, typically in real-time, with information on progress, presence, outcomes, workspace, and the like. Supporting "reflection" means enabling learners to capture, adapt, re-evaluate, and share experience in anticipation of future situations it will prove relevant to. Reflection supported digitally is a creative act, adding sense and meaning to experiences made. Combining support for "awareness and reflection" bears huge potential for improving the learning and training with respect to utility, self-regulation, usability, and user experience. This 4th ARTEL workshop brings together researchers and industry from different backgrounds to discuss and advance support of awareness and reflection for learning. This year’s workshop will run under the headline ‘application in practice’, additionally emphasising feasibility and sustainability aspects in education and in the workplace. The workshop seeks to attract both research results and work in progress in order to chart out the current state-of-the-art and to define main enablers and future challenges. Naturally, it will serve as a forum for establishing new collaborations. The workshop will therefore include both presentations and discussions of research insights (papers), as well as a demo and prototype slam. Using presentations as catalyst for continuing post-talk debate, the workshop will conclude the day with an open discussion exchanging ideas, summing up, and defining a medium to long-term research agenda. The main findings and highlights of the workshop will be presented back to the full EC-TEL plenary in the wrap up session (see main programme, once available). Proceedings of the predecessor workshops are available via http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-790/ (2011), http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-931/ (2012), and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1103/ (2013). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to contributing original theories, methods, evaluation studies, design and application (case) studies in and on: - Reflective writing and knowledge maturing - Analytics, text- and data mining - Integration of reflection support into other approaches of learning - Social and group virtual and super-real presence - Scaffolding approaches and techniques - Real-time awareness and reflection - Personalisation and Social Technologies - Awareness and reflection in inquiry-based learning - Augmented reality, wearable, pervasive applications - Collaborative reflection - Social network analysis - Visual analytics, dashboards - Models, ontologies, and annotation - Processes and workflows *Submission* Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work as either a full paper (limit: 15 pages), research note (limit: 7 pages), or demo (limit: 3 pages). Full papers thereby report on novel theoretical, empirical, or development work, including a significant contribution to the field. Research notes report work in progress to share early insights with the community. Demos describe novel prototypes, design studies, or tools, which can be shown and further discussed during the workshop. All contributions will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee evaluating their originality, significance, and rigour. The papers will be published in the CEUR workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org). Submissions should use the Springer LNCS template (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: SDN-NGAS 2014 - Workshop on Software Defined Networks for a New Generation of Applications and Services Datum: Mon, 26 May 2014 18:59:23 +0200 Von: Leonardo Valdivieso <angevald(a)ucm.es> An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** SDN-NGAS 2014 - Workshop on Software Defined Networks for a New Generation of Applications and Services August 20, 2014 Niagara Falls, Canada http://gass.ucm.es/sdn-ngas-2014/ Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a promising architecture that is reinventing the way of thinking the networks. The decoupling of control and data planes in network devices and the centralized control of the networks remove the rigidity of today’s networks. This new concept enables the integration between different heterogeneous architectures and facilitates the creation of Network Applications and Services more adapted to the needs of customers. Moreover, this New Generation of Application and Services opens the door of innovative business opportunities. However, the potential techno-economic sustainability of SDN requires the consensus between research community, vendors, regulators and customers. This Workshop represents a unique opportunity to expose the latest advances in this technology as well as share experiences and build collaborations. Topics for this Workshop: - Advancement in the development of Applications and Services for SDN networks - Advancement in Southbound and Northbound APIs for SDN networks. – SDN programming and simulation. – Tools for Management and Troubleshooting of SDN based networks. – Interoperable service-oriented technologies to share real world data among heterogeneous devices. – Advanced security, privacy, authentication, trust and verification with the SDN technology. – Integration of Software Defined technologies with traditional network architectures. – Performance analysis on single and multi-controller architectures. – Orchestration of virtual network resources. – Other related topics. Important Dates: ------------------------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: May 30, 2014 Paper acceptance notification: June 5, 2014 Camera ready papers due: June 19, 2014 Workshop: August 20, 2014 Publication: ------------------------------------------------- All accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentations and will be printed in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series (on-line).
