Fwd: [computational.science] Call for papers: ScalA Workshop at SC'14
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Jun '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for papers: ScalA Workshop at SC'14 Datum: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:30:55 -0400 Von: Christian Engelmann <engelmannc(a)computer.org> An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems (ScalA) 2014 held in conjunction with the SC14: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC November 17, 2014, New Orleans, LA, USA <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2014> Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems. Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers not exceeding 8 letter size (8.5x11) pages including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at <http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer…>.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Last CFP for the first phase: Journal papers on Software Engineering from a Social Network Perspective Datum: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:10:07 -0700 Von: Marco Aurélio Gerosa <gerosa(a)ime.usp.br> An: cees-l <cees-l(a)sbc.org.br>, chi-announcements(a)listserv.acm.org, ecoop-info(a)ecoop.org, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, sigsand-l(a)cliffy.ucs.mun.ca, cscw-sig(a)jiscmail.ac.uk, cesc-l <cesc-l(a)sbc.org.br> Special Issue on /Software Engineering from a Social Network Perspective/ SpringerOpen Journal of Internet Services and Applications (JISA) Paper Submission: July 1 or October 1, 2014 Â *Guest editors:* Marco Aurelio Gerosa (University of SÃ£o Paulo) â?? <gerosa(a)ime.usp.br <mailto:gerosa@ime.usp.br>> David Redmiles (University of California, Irvine) â?? <redmiles(a)ics.uci.edu <mailto:redmiles@ics.uci.edu>> Pernille BjÃ¸rn (IT University in Copenhagen) â?? <pbra(a)itu.dk <mailto:pbra@itu.dk>> Anita Sarma (University of Nebraska) â?? <asarma(a)cse.unl.edu <mailto:asarma@cse.unl.edu>> *MOTIVATIONÂ * In todayâ??s Internet age, the concept of social networks is emerging as both a useful means for understanding software engineering activities and a key principle for designing software tools. Social networks model how people communicate, coordinate, cooperate, and develop professional relationships, which are critical activities for a software development project. Bringing social networks to the foreground of software development practice brings a focus to its stakeholders, including developers, their managers, their support staff, QA analysts, requirement engineers, and even end users. Social networks include investigation of both the social organization of the work as well as the technical information infrastructures. The concept also helps explore the notion of network-centric organizations that are required to deal with socio-technical dependencies â?? including handling the relations and connections between complex software code, systems and subsystems, requirement and specification documents, etc. The structure of the social organization often dictates the technical structure of the product, as stated in Conwayâ??s Law, and is a topic of ongoing research. Researchers are investigating the interplay of complex interdependencies among technical artifacts and the people who create and maintain these artifacts. Others have examined the relationships between the stakeholders based on qualitative studies and have been developing software tools to support awareness and trust in global software development. As a last example, researchers have been studying the effects of companies moving from hierarchical to network-centric ways of organizing the work and looking to leverage expertise within companies. However, the roles and practices involved with social networks within software development as well as the technical challenges of social network technologies within software development are yet to be further explored. Thus, we seek submissions that employ the concept of social networks either in studying software development from an empirical approach or use the concept as a central basis for developing software tool support, or do both! We seek submissions that investigate how social network technologies are currently being enacted by software development practitioners, and how the technology-in-use practices emerges. Current research on social network in software engineering is spread across a diverse set of research subareas, and we want to bring in this diverse set of approaches into this special issue. We encourage authors to specifically discuss the definition and background of their particular use of social networks in their work, as well as how the concept was beneficial for exploring software development practices and/or how designing collaborative technologies for software development. *SCOPE & TOPICS OF INTEREST* Topics include but are not limited to the following: - Â Data mining for social networks in software repositories - Â Understanding software evolution from a social network perspective - Â Social network analysis for enhancing specific aspects of software engineering, such as bug prediction, expert recommendation, etc. - Â Tools for supporting researchers and practitioners in analyzing social networks in software projects and ecosystems - Â Socio-technical networks in software development - Â Enactment of social networks in software development - Â Communication practices in social networks in software development - Â Coordination practices and organization structure as they relate to social network - Â Information and knowledge sharing in social networks - Â Interactions between awareness, visualization, and social networks - Â The role of trust in software development as enacted in social networks - Â Social networks analysis in open source software projects and ecosystemsÂ - Â Large scale analysis of social networks in software ecosystems - Â Patterns and anti-patterns in social networks in software development - Â New requirements for supporting social network infrastructure, such as middleware, frameworks, and cloud computing environments - Â Technologies-in-use practices of social network within software development organizations *SUBMISSION* JISA is an international Open Access journal published by Springer. Several bases index the journal, such as SCOPUS, INSPEC, Academic OneFile, DBLP, DOAJ, EI-Compendex, OCLC, SCImago, and Summon by Serial Solutions. So far, JISA papers have had a relative high impact (http://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=1869-0238&tip=iss).Â JISA adopts the Open Access policy, allowing free access to the papers. Although the journal charges a fee to have a paper published in the open access model, we have *fee waivers* to assure that all quality articles will be published, regardless of the funding capacity of the authors. Please, enter in touch if you are interested in a fee waiver.Â Manuscripts are submitted online as described inÂ http://www.jisajournal.com/manuscript. There is no minimum or maximum length imposed on papers, but a typical length is around 15 pages in the Springer template format. Reviewers will weigh the contribution of a paper relative to its length. Thus, papers should report research thoroughly but succinctly.Â There will be two independent cycles of submissions. The journal will publish the papers as soon as they are ready, thus the authors can choose in which one they want to participate. *- Deadline for submissions:*Â July 1 or October 1, 2014. *- Authorâ??s notifications:*Â September 19 or December 8, 2014. *Questions?* If you have any questions about the suitability of your manuscript or any other query related to this call do not hesitate to contact the theme editors. *EDITORIAL COMMITTEE*Â (under formation)Â Akinori Ihara (NAIST, Japan)Â Alexander Boden (University of Siegen, Germany)Â Andrew Begel (Microsoft Research, USA)Â Christian Bird (Microsoft Research, USA)Â Claudia Werner (UFRJ, Brazil)Â Cleidson de Souza (ITV & UFPA, Brazil)Â Kari Kuutti (University of Oulu, Finland)Â Kate Ehrlich (IBM, USA)Â Kim Herzig (Microsoft Research, UK)Â Marcelo Cataldo (ConnReperio, LLC, USA)Â Myriam Lewkowicz (University of Technology of Troyes, France)Â Patrick Wagstrom (IBM Watson Group, USA)Â Sabrina Marczak (PUCRS, Brasil)Â Yuanfang Cai (Drexel University, USA)Â Yvonne Dittrich (IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark)Â -- Marco A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Conference on Digital Experimentation (CODE@MIT) Datum: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 15:47:04 -0400 Von: Sinan Aral <sinana(a)MIT.EDU> Antwort an: sinana(a)MIT.EDU An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Hi All Myself, Erik Brynjolfsson and Sandy Pentland are very excited to announce that the first _/Conference on Digital Experimentation (CODE) @ MIT/_ will take place this October 10-11, 2014 at the Sloan School of Management! Details of the event can be found at:Â www.codecon.net <http://www.codecon.net/>. The ability to rapidly deploy micro-level randomized experiments at population scale is, in our view, one of the most significant innovations in modern social science. When appropriately theorized and rigorously applied, randomized experiments are the gold standard of causal inference and a cornerstone of effective policy. But the scale and complexity of these experiments also create scientific and statistical challenges for design and inference.Â The purpose of the Conference on Digital Experimentation at MIT (CODE) is to bring together leading researchers conducting and analyzing large scale randomized experiments in digitally mediated social and economic environments, in various scientific disciplines including economics, computer science and sociology, in order to lay the foundation for ongoing relationships and to build a lasting multidisciplinary research community. We have assembled an amazing group of invited speakers from both industry and academia who have been thinking about and leading the way in the realm of digital experimentation. Invited Speakers Include: Eric Anderson, Kellogg Alessandro Aquisti, CMUÂ Susan Athey, Stanford Esther Duflo, MIT Eric Horvitz, MicrosoftÂ Jeremy Howard, KaggleÂ Ron Kohavi, MicrosoftÂ Karim Lakhani, HarvardÂ John Langford, MicrosoftÂ David Lazer, Northeastern Sendhil Mullainathan, HarvardÂ Claudia Perlich, Distillery David Reiley, GoogleÂ Hal Varian, GoogleÂ Dan Wagner, Civis Duncan Watts, Microsoft Participants will be selected based on submissions of 3-page extended abstracts. _Please submit an extended abstract of no more than 3 pages to Susan Young (info(a)codecon.net <mailto:info@codecon.net>) by August 15th_. _Abstracts will be evaluated as they are submitted and evaluation will continue until the program is filled. Space is limited, so interested researchers should submit their abstracts as soon as possible_. Authors of accepted abstracts will be _notified by September 1st_ and will be expected to submit a _final version_ in Microsoft Word format not to exceed 5 pages, including references and figures, _by September 12th_. Accepted abstracts will be distributed as informal working notes. Members of the press may attend the event and be present during presentations, so please take this into account when choosing the work you submit. _Key Dates_: Workshop: October 10-11, 2014 Abstract Submission Deadline: August 15, 2014 Notification to Authors: September 1, 2014 Final Abstract Submission: September 12, 2014 Early Registration Deadline: September 19, 2014 Onsite Registration: October 10, 2014 Â Please submit your best work on Digital Experiments Soon!

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] IUI 2015 - CFP Datum: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 16:16:39 +0200 Von: Alan Said <alansaid(a)acm.org> Antwort an: Alan Said <alansaid(a)acm.org> An: ubicomp-announcements(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk, um(a)di.unito.it, wI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de IUI 2015: ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces Atlanta, GA, USA - March 29-April 1, 2015 http://iui.acm.org/ IUI 2015 is the 20th annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. IUI is where Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We're also very interested in contributions from related fields, such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, etc. Why submit to IUI? At IUI our focus is to improve the interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence – other conferences focus on one side or the other, whereas we address the complex interaction between the two. Unlike traditional AI, our focus is not so much to make the computer smart all by itself, but to make the interaction between computers and people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, we are more willing to consider solutions that involve data mining, knowledge representation, novel interaction paradigms, and new emerging technologies. The IUI conference brings together people from academia, industry, and nonprofits and gives you a chance to present and to see work results in an intimate, focused, and interactive event. It is large enough to be diverse and lively (we expect over 200 people), but small enough that you get a chance to talk to all the attendees, see all the posters, and take in all the presentations. As an ACM conference, papers appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. There will also be a journal publication path for long papers. IUI is a single track conference, so you don't have to miss anything! IUI topics of interest including, but not limited to: * User Input - Processing of multi-modal input - Natural language and speech processing - Gestures, eye gaze, face, emotion recognition * Generation of System Output - Intelligent visualization tools - Intelligent generation of user-consumable content - Big Data/Text summarization and analytics * Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing - Intelligent interfaces for ubiquitous computing - Smart environments and tangible computing - Smart interaction and interfaces for wearable computing * Help and Persuasive Technologies - Intelligent assistants for complex tasks - Support for collaboration in multiuser environments - Persuasive technologies in IUI - Education and learning-related technologies * Personalization - User-adaptivity in interactive systems - Recommender systems - Modeling and prediction of user behavior * AI Techniques in IUI - Interactive Machine Learning - Planning and plan recognition - Reasoning in interfaces * Social Computing - Affective, social and aesthetic interfaces - Social networks and collaboration * IUI Design - Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation - Proactive and agent-based paradigms for user interaction - Example-and demonstration-based interfaces * User Studies - User studies concerning intelligent interfaces - Evaluations of implemented intelligent user interfaces SUBMISSION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * Full and Short Papers (* New Cooperation Model between TiiS and IUI *) We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. IUI 2015 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for interface design. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contribution. Full papers (10 pages with unlimited references) should make substantial, novel and relevant contributions to the field. Short (4 pages with unlimited references) papers can either contain smaller contributions, novel ground-breaking ideas, or work in progress. Accepted full papers will be invited for oral presentation and short papers either as oral or poster presentation. Authors of accepted IUI 2015 full papers will have an opportunity to submit extended versions to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://tiis.acm.org) for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2015". One of the IUI 2015 program chairs will serve as an associate editor who manages the reviewing for that special issue, and the reviewing schedule will ensure that it appears in the ACM Digital Library in early 2016, before IUI 2016. (For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension" of a conference paper for TiiS, see http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission) Abstracts Due: October 13, 2014 Full and Short Papers Due: October 17, 2014 * Posters Posters provide an opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early- stage work and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. We invite submissions on all topics of the conference. All submissions should convey a scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be published as a full length research paper at a refereed conference. The page limit for poster papers is 4 pages. Accepted poster papers will appear in the companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Due: January 16, 2015 * Demonstrations The demonstrations track complements the overall program of the conference. Demonstrations show implementations of novel, interesting, and important intelligent user interface concepts or systems. We invite submissions relevant to intelligent user interfaces and which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the conference. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages. The page limit for demo papers is 4 pages. Accepted demo papers will be published in the companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Due: January 16, 2015 * Student Consortium The IUI 2015 Student Consortium provides an opportunity for Masters and Doctoral students to present and receive feedback about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of mentors, selected from senior people in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their research to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are not so far along their research that they can no longer make changes. Submissions Due: October 31, 2014 * Workshops Workshops will be held on the first and last day of the conference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference topics. Workshop Proposals due: September 12, 2014 **** New Cooperation Agreement between the IUI Conference Series and ACM TiiS **** The steering committee of the IUI conference series has agreed with the editors-in-chief of the ACM TiiS on the following forms of collaboration between the conference and the journal, which will be repeated in subsequent years: 1. Authors of accepted IUI 2015 full papers IUI 2015 full papers will have an opportunity to submit extended versions to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, tiis.acm.org <http://tiis.acm.org>) for consideration for a special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2015". One of the IUI 2015 program chairs will serve as an associate editor who manages the reviewing for that special issue, and the reviewing schedule will ensure that it appears in the ACM Digital Library in early 2016, before IUI 2016. (For information on what counts as an appropriate "extension" of a conference paper for TiiS, see http://tiis.acm.org/for-authors.html#types-of-submission ). 2. The authors of any TiiS article that has been accepted during the year 2014 (and that does not represent an extension of a paper presented at an earlier IUI conference) will have an opportunity to present their work at IUI 2015 in a presentation slot at least as long as that for an IUI 2015 short paper. ************************************************************************ ORGANIZATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * General Co-Chairs: - Oliver Brdiczka, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) - Polo Chau, Georgia Tech chair2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:chair2015@iui.acm.org> * Program Co-Chairs: - Giuseppe Carenini, University of British Columbia - Shimei Pan, IBM Research - Per Ola Kristensson, University of St. Andrews program2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:program2015@iui.acm.org> * Treasurer - Jalal Mahmud, IBM Research treasurer2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:treasurer2015@iui.acm.org> * Sponsorship Chair: - Sumit Basu, Microsoft Research sponsors2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:sponsors2015@iui.acm.org> * Workshop and Tutorial Co-Chairs: - Ben Steichen, University of British Columbia - Nava Tintarev, University of Aberdeen workshop-tutorial2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:workshop-tutorial2015@iui.acm.org> * Poster and Demo Co-Chairs: - Sven Kratz, FXPAL - Eelco Herder, L3S poster2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:poster2015@iui.acm.org> * Student Consortium Co-Chairs: - Wai-Tat Fu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - Brent Hecht, University of Minnesota studentconsortium2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:studentconsortium2015@iui.acm.org> * Publicity Co-Chairs: - Alan Said (social media), TU Delft - Ali Jahanian (website), Purdue University publicity2015(a)iui.acm.org <mailto:publicity2015@iui.acm.org> -- -- Alan Said Multimedia Computing Group Delft University of Technology e: alansaid(a)acm.org <mailto:alansaid@acm.org> t: @alansaid w: www.alansaid.com <http://www.alansaid.com>

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IC3K 2014 - Doctoral Consortium on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (Rome/Italy) Datum: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 15:55:07 +0000 (UTC) Von: IC3K Secretariat <ic3k.secretariat(a)insticc.org> Antwort an: ic3k.secretariat(a)insticc.org An: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Doctoral Consortium on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management http://www.ic3k.org/DoctoralConsortium.aspx October 21 - 24, 2014 Rome, Italy Doctoral Consortium Chair: Gabriella Sanniti di Baja, Institute of Cybernetics "E.Caianiello", CNR, Italy Important Deadlines: Doctoral Consortium Submission: July 21, 2014 Author Notification: August 1, 2014 Camera Ready and Registration: August 21, 2014 ------------------------------------------ Dear Gustaf Neumann, The 6th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management – IC3K 2014 (http://www.ic3k.org/) will hold a Doctoral Consortium on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management providing an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field. The Doctoral Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to: - Present their research work in a relaxed and supportive environment; - Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty; - Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of enterprise information Systems; - Obtain insight into directions for enterprise information systems research taken by other doctoral candidates; - Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other issues; - Network with peers and future colleagues The paper that a PhD student can submit until July 21 needs to be written in a specific format, appropriate for facilitating the aforementioned discussion, therefore it is expected to be a much simpler paper and definitely not a regular paper. There will be a review and selection process and the accepted papers will be included in the CD-ROM that also includes the proceedings of the conference. Additionally, the papers of the Doctoral Consortium presented at the venue will also be included in the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. However, they will not be included in the book of proceedings as archival publications therefore they will remain free of copyright and the registration will be a "student registration". Should you have any question or suggestions please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Andreia Pereira On behalf of IC3K Secretariat Av. D. Manuel I, 27A 2.Esq. 2910-595 Setubal, Portugal Tel.: +351 265 100 033 Fax: +44 203 014 8813 e-mail: ic3k.secretariat(a)insticc.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe please click here ( http://email.insticc.org/wf/unsubscribe?upn=9jORrjH8ndg6sPzuPt6yR0NcWpzNR2-… )
