Fwd: [WI] CFP: "SMART CITY LEARNING: opportunities and challenges" @EC-TEL2014
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Jun '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: "SMART CITY LEARNING: opportunities and challenges" @EC-TEL2014 Datum: Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:46:47 +0200 Von: Carlo Giovannella <mifav(a)roma2.infn.it> Antwort an: Carlo Giovannella <mifav(a)roma2.infn.it> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ========================================================= EC-TEL Workshop on "SMART CITY LEARNING: opportunities and challenges" 16th September 2014 Graz, Austria http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/sclo_ectel2014/index.php ========================================================= Organizers: --------------------------------------------------------- • Paloma Diaz Perez, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain • Monica Divitini, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norwey • Carlo Giovannella, Univ. of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy • Marco Kalz, Open University, The Netherlands • Alke Martens, University of Rostock, Germany ========================================================== Important dates: ---------------------------------------------------------- *** Deadline for submission: 1st July, 2014 *** ---------------------------------------------------------- Other important dates: • Notification to the authors: 1st August, 2014 • Camera ready submission: 1st September, 2014 =========================================================== Overview ----------------------------------------------------------- Smart Cities promise to preserve and improve the wellbeing of society, exploiting information and communication technology (ICT) as an infrastructural backbone to influence and improve key factors like mobility, environment, people, quality of life and governance. Going beyond top-down popular functionalist approaches a new vision driven by a 'person centered in place' design approach is emerging: a) The interaction process with the environment is moving from the metaphor “being able to use” towards the metaphor “actively influence”; digital consumers are going to transform into “digital enactive” producing an increasingly amount of data that actively contributes to the re-definition of places and spaces; b) Learning is going to transform into a life long process for knowledge, skill, and expertise acquisition and, additionally, for strengthening peoples meta-cognition abilities, which are related to a genuine self-regulation in order to consciously determine its trajectory within the new techno-ecosystems; c) A new set of personal and interpersonal skills is required to avoid possible new "divides" and to allow to adequately developing the above mentioned processes in people and in society. d) The representation and usage of the main sources of knowledge has to change to enable new forms of learning. The traditional medial representation, e.g. book (i.e. unit of text) or film (i.e. unit of audio-video material), will have to act as a seed for a new open structure which will be customizable and will provide the access to data that is available everywhere, but might be subject of permanent extension and change. The workshop welcomes original contributions on: • Models of learning experiences in Smart Cities • Learning spaces for formal and informal learning • Boundaries between formal and informal learning • Technological, pedagogical, social challenges to learning in smart cities • Techno-ecosystem for Smart City Learning • Novel approaches to learning and scenarios • Ubiquitous Gamification • Experiences and models for social learning in the Smart City • Digital literacy for Smart City Learning • Geo-localities and cultural effects • Success and fiasco stories • Privacy, Data Control and Security • Ecological monitoring and Analytics for Smart City Learning • Empirical research and investigations related to ICT usage and future trends ========================================================== Format of the contributions & Participants selection ---------------------------------------------------------- Participants will be selected on the basis of a submitted position paper of maximum 4 pages (LNCS style). All submissions will be reviewed at least by two members of the scientific committee and by the workshop organizers. The selection will be done to ensure scientific quality together with the presence of different perspectives and to foster discussion. The submission and review process will be handled by Easychair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sclo-ectel2014 To promote discussion we intend to limit the number of accepted contributions to 12-15 and participation to no more than 20-25 people (the authors plus a small number of listeners strongly motivated to contribute to the discussion). Proceedings --------------------------------------------------------- After the workshop, participants will be invited to prepare a revised and extended paper to be included as part of a special issue of Interaction Design and Architecture(s) (IxD&A); a slot has been reserved for the second half of 2015. The call for papers will be open to assure high quality of the special issue. ========================================================== Smart City Learning Observatory: General Assembly ---------------------------------------------------------- The workshop is supported by the Observatory for Smart City Learning - (SCLO) http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/sclo/index.php established to provide a meeting point and a think-tank for Smart City Learning and to monitor and influence the development of this area from an international perspective. The recently already includes more than 25 organizations across and beyond Europe. The yearly General Assembly (GA) of the SCLO will take place at ECTEL 2014, on 17th September, and will be open also to selected observers.

Globalization and economic dynamics have forced individuals, institutions,and organizations to search for new ways to strengthen their competitive advantages. Improvement of learning and professional developmentfor sustainable development has been becomeas a key strategy(Cheng, Wang, MÃ¸rch, Chen, Kinshuk, & Spector,2014). In this context, it is crucial to help adult learners in educational institutions and employees in variousworkplacesettingsto improve their self-directed and life-long learning capabilities. Further, learning in this context has expanded from individual to organizational and community levels with new focuses on externalization of tacit knowledge and intuition embedded in professional work, peer-driven mutual learning and sharing, and systemic retention of knowledge assets for long-term development(Rosenberg, 2012). Â In the meantime, advances in technology have been increasingly enabling and facilitating learning and knowledge-related initiatives by changing the way for people to access knowledge and communicatewith others. A variety oftechnology-enhanced solutions and novel approaches have been promotedin educational institutions, corporations, governments and communities. A recent review on e-learning in the workplace reported four main research themes in the field, in which e-learning in the healthcare sector was found as one of the most prolific e-learning initiatives (Cheng et al.,2014). Â With respect to technology, the use of various electronic media and information technologieshas largely extended learning and professional developmentopportunities. More recently, the model of Mass Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has brought unprecedented opportunities for learners to access open courses, with a high potential to support self-directed and lifelong learning than traditional models (Kay, Reimann, Diebold, & Kummerfeld, 2013). Â This special issueaims to provide a forum for academics and practitioners to explore issues related to use, analysis, design, and evaluation of technologies-assisted approaches to learning and professional development in variouseducational,organizational and community environment. Â The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * e-Learning in higher education * e-Learning for continuing education * Distance education and lifelong learning * Computer-supported self-directed learning * Instructional design in e-learning * Online curriculum development * Knowledge management and e-learning * e-Learning/e-Training in organizations * Web-based corporate training * e-Learning and professional development * e-Learning and human resource development * Best practices and experiences in implementing MOOCs * Instructional design in MOOCs * Cloud computing in education * Technology in medical colleges and hospitals * Medical informatics and education * Nurse education and training Â We are interested in both theoretical and practical papers that aim to improve learning and human performance by applying the latest technological advances. We would like to stimulate interest in the issues across academia, practice, industry, research and policy, and therefore we welcome focused papers from all sectors.

c -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] BPMS2'2014 (BPM and Social Software) - Call for papers - Extended to June 8th Datum: Sun, 01 Jun 2014 18:04:16 +0200 Von: Selmin Nurcan <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleague, We will be grateful to you for submitting your work to and also for advertising the 7th International Workshop on BPM and Social Software (BPMS2'2014) in conjunction with the International Conference on Business Process Management and for inviting your colleagues and/or research students to submit their work. The goal of the workshop is to promote the integration of business process management with social software and to enlarge the community pursuing the theme. The Call for Papers can be downloaded from the BPMS2'2014 Web site : http://www.bpms2.org/ All BPM'2014 conference "workshop papers" will be published in Springer LNBIP post-proceedings. Best regards, Rainer Schmidt, Selmin Nurcan BPMS2 2014 organisers -------------8<-------------------8<-------------------8<-------------------8<-------------------8<-------------------8<--- BPMS2 2014 CALL FOR PAPERS 7th International Workshop on Business Process Management and Social Software (BPMS2) in conjunction with BPM 2014 September 8th, 2014, Haifa, Israel Papers submission deadline: June 8th, 2014 http://www.bpms2.org/ Organizers: Rainer Schmidt – Munich University of Applied Sciences, Germany Selmin Nurcan – University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France ------ SCOPE ------ Social software is a new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society, organizations and economics. More and more enterprises use social software to improve their business processes and create new business models. Social software provides new interaction patterns that allow to integrate more stakeholders in a broader way and to design business processes in a completely new way. These four patterns are: • Weak ties Weak-ties are spontaneously established contacts between individuals that create new views and allow combining competencies. Social software supports the creation of weak ties by supporting to create contacts in impulse between non-predetermined individuals. • Social Production Social Production is the creation of artefacts, by combining the input from independent contributors without predetermining the way to do this. By this means it is possible to integrate new and innovative contributions not identified or planned in advance. • Egalitarianism Egalitarianism is the equal handling of all contributors of a business process. This is done with the intention to encourage a maximum of contributors and to get the best solution fusioning a high number of contributions, thus enabling the wisdom of the crowds. • Value co-creation Social software is based on the idea, that value-creation is a mutual process. Thus both service producer and consumer (or better prosumer) cooperate in order co-create value. Applying these four patterns to business processes creates huge chances for the design, implementation and operation of business processes. Social software is used to communicate with the customer increasingly in a bi-directional manner. Companies integrate customers into product development using social software to capture ideas for new products and features. Mass production is more and more replaced by the individualized provisioning of services and products. Thus social software establishes learning relationships with customers and stakeholders. Inside companies, hierarchical structures are more and more dissolved and replaced by a culture of trust. The exchange of knowledge and information is improved. Innovations and decisions are created socially and not by single experts and managers. Combining social software and business process management benefits a lot from the recent advances of data processing, subsumed as Big Data. Today large amounts of semi-structured and unstructured data as created by social software can be processed. Based on the analysis of this data, social software is able to influence business process (management) significantly. ----------------- WORKSHOP GOALS ----------------- The workshop has the goal to investigate the relationship of social software and business process management in three areas. 1. Interaction of social software with business process management 2. Use of social software in business processes. 3. Leverage social software in business process management and business processes using Big Data. ------------------- WORKSHOP THEMES ------------------- The workshop are organized according to the three areas. 1. Interaction of social software with business process management - How interact weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and value co-creation with business process management? - Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Operation, and Evaluation) can profit the most from social software? - Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software? - How are trust and reputation established in business processes using social software? - How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process support systems? 2. Use of social software in business processes - Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when they are not predictable (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad hoc? - How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes? - Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM lifecycle? - What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by social production? 3. Leverage social software in business process management using Big Data. - Which data created with social software can be used to support business processes? - Which categories of business processes can profit from big data ? - Are there any similarities or relationships with process mining techniques and also with workflow control and role patterns? ----------- SUBMISSION ----------- Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages (There is no possibility to buy additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer than 6 pages. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/tool report). Please use Easychair for submitting your paper: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpms214 The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion. All the workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-proceeding volume (to be sent around 4 months after the workshop) in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. ----------------- EXPECTED RESULTS ----------------- All papers will be published on workshop wiki (www.bpms2.org) before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other participants. A blog will be used to encourage and support discussions. The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. The workshop report will be created collaboratively using a wiki. A special issue over all workshops will be published in a journal (decision in progress). The two papers collaboratively written by the BPMS2’08 and BPMS2’09 workshop authors (see below) have been accepted for publication in the Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution: Research and Practice (including Software Process: Improvement and Practice): S.
