The informal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations Track encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. We invite submissions relevant to the area of the Semantic Web and which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the Research Track; the Replication, Benchmark, Data, and Software Track; and the Semantic Web In Use Track. Technical posters, reports on Semantic Web software systems, descriptions of completed work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative Semantic Web related implementations and technologies. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages. Authors of full papers accepted for the Research Track; Replication, Benchmark, Data, and Software Track; and Semantic Web In Use Track are explicitly invited to submit a poster or a demonstration. The submission should be formatted as the other posters and demonstrations but must cite the accepted full paper and needs to include an explanation of its added value with respect to the conference paper. The added value could include: a) extended results and experiments not presented in the conference paper for space reasons, or b) a demonstration of a supporting prototype implementation. SUBMISSION ----------- Authors must submit a four-page extended abstract for evaluation. All submissions will undergo a common review process, including those related to already accepted full papers. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the Semantic Web, originality, potential significance, topicality and clarity. For demonstrations, authors are strongly encouraged to include in their submission a link to where the demo (live or recorded video) can be found. They should also make clear what exactly will be demonstrated to the participants (e.g., what data sets will be used, which functionalities will be shown). All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair conference submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2014pd Submissions must use the PDF file format and must adopt the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Details are provided on Springer's Author Instructions page. Submissions that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review. At least one of the authors must be a registered participant at the conference, and attend the Poster/Demo Session to present the work. The abstracts of accepted posters and demonstrations will be given to all conference attendees and published on the conference web site, but will not be published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. They will, however, be compiled into a CEUR-WS Proceedings for easy Web retrieval and archival. Metadata for all successful submissions will be included in the conference metadata corpus. Detailed information about metadata creation will be provided with the acceptance notification of the successful submissions. IMPORTANT DATES ---------------- * Poster & Demo Submission: July 17, 2014 * Notifications: August 7, 2014 * Camera-Ready Versions: August 28, 2014 All deadlines are Hawaii time.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: IEEE Cloud Computing Magazine SI on "Cloud-based Smart Evacuation Systems for Emergency Management" Datum: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 06:03:50 +0000 Von: Deepak Puthal <Deepak.Puthal(a)student.uts.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> â??â??[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] *Call for papers:* IEEE Cloud Computing Magazine Special Issue on â??Cloud-based Smart Evacuation Systems for Emergency Managementâ?? IMPORTANT DATES ***************************** Submissions Due: August 20, 2014 DETAILS ABOUT THE ISSUE ***************************** Natural and man-made emergencies, such as tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, and epidemics pose a significant threat to human societies. The lessons learned from the growing number of recent emergencies, such as Japanâ??s earthquake (2011), Katrina hurricane (2005), Colorado flood (2013), Queensland flooding in Australia (2010), Haiti earthquake (2010), has put impetus on the development of emergency evacuation planning systems. Well-coordinated emergency management activities that involves guiding of citizens out of danger areas, placement of medical team to the most appropriate locations, and real-time planning of evacuation routes before and after a disaster play a significant role in saving lives, protecting critical infrastructures, and minimizing causalities. For example, due to lack of proper evacuation planning system, 25 people lost their lives in the first 30 minutes while attempting to flee their Oakland Hills neighborhood in California during a wildfire in 1991. The management of evacuation activities such as guiding people out of dangerous areas and coordinating rescue teams is dependent on the availability of historical data as well as on the effective real-time integration and utilisation of data streaming from multiple sources including on-site sensors, social media feeds and messaging on mobile devices (i.e. text messaging, location, etc.). However, there is a pitfall; the growing ubiquity of on-site sensors, social media and mobile devices means there are more sources of outbound traffic, which ultimately results in the creation of a tsunami of data, beginning shortly after the onset of emergency events. This data tsunami phenomenon is being described as a new grand challenge in computing: The â??Big Dataâ?? problem. Over 20 million tweets posted during Hurricane Sandy (2012) lead to an instance of the Big Data problem. During the 2010 Haiti earthquake, text messaging via mobile phones and Twitter made headlines as being crucial for disaster response, but only some 100,000 messages were actually processed by government agencies due to lack of automated and scalable data processing infrastructure. Design and development of evacuation systems for emergency management requires a complete ICT (Information and Communication Technology) paradigm shift in a way that systems do not get overwhelmed by incoming data volume, data rate, data sources, and data types. New cloud-based techniques are needed that can extract meaningful information from large-scaled data in real-time, while avoiding unnecessary data transmission or storage. Future initiative should focus on developing cloud-based techniques to improve the performance of multiple data stream processing system while balancing computational complexity and Quality of Service (e.g., decision making delay, alert generation delay, etc.). *We solicit papers and columns from both industrial and academic research communities.* * * SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ***************************** Submissions will be subject to the IEEE Cloud Computing Magazinesâ?? peer-review process. Articles should be at most 6,000 words, with a maximum of 15 references, and should be understandable to a broad audience of people interested in cloud computing, big data and related application areas. Â¬ The writing style should be down to earth, practical, and original. Authors should not assume that the audience will have specialized experience in a particular sub field. All accepted articles will be edited according to the IEEE Computer Society style guide. Submit your papers to Manuscript Central at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-cc. If any questions please contact the guest editors.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Papers - Special Issue on social media and networks for multimedia content management Datum: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:53:45 +0300 Von: smap-publicity(a)image.ntua.gr Antwort an: smap-publicity(a)image.ntua.gr An: undisclosed-recipients:; [Apologies for cross-postings] --------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------- International Journal of Virtual Communities and Social Networking Special Issue on social media and networks for multimedia content management http://www.igi-global.com/calls-for-papers-special/international-journal-vi… **Submission Deadline: 15th October 2014** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Social Web and particularly Social Media data has grown considerably in the past few years. The use of a wide range of devices (smartphones, tablets, smartTV, IoT, etc.) to produce, store, view and exchange multimedia contents, and the « always-on » users connection to the Web continue to increase this phenomenon. Actually, through several devices, many famous sites offer to users to publish and to share on the Web multimedia contents (such as videos, photos, comments), to recommend and to connect those resources with their social audiences (e.g., friends, family, colleagues), to freely tag or annotate contents, and to evaluate with detailed statistics the popularity of a published data. For instance, Flickr and YouTube offer services for media publishing and sharing. Published contents can then be promoted and evaluated on the Facebook and Twitter platforms. Those platforms can be used anytime, anywhere and anyhow (i.e., with different devices, handled or not). As a consequence, a huge amount of heterogeneous social media data can be generated, enriched and exploited for creating new research opportunities and challenges. As an example, information about some content creators and consumers with their related social contexts as well as the metadata associated to the media resources can be used by an adaptation process or a recommendation engine in order to personalize the way that some contents will be displayed. In this special issue, we solicit original papers that tackle challenges or issues relating to exploit the social media and networks for multimedia content management. The main goal is to collect articles reporting the latest advances on the technologies, algorithms, models, standards, and applications in such a field. -------------- Aim and topics -------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Multimedia content creation, annotation and modelling for semantic and social web - User modelling and dynamic profiling - Web adaptation methods and techniques using social media and networks information - Social multimedia tagging and multimedia content communities - Hybrid social and semantic approaches to profiling, recommendation engines or adaptation systems - Social multimedia applications (live casting, audio-video sharing) - Social and semantic media collaboration platforms (e.g., semantic wikis) - Social web economics and business - Social network aggregation - Privacy/Security issues in social and personalized media applications - Social data mining and analytics ----------------- Papers submission ----------------- Researchers are invited to submit papers for this special issue on Social Media and Networks for Multimedia Content Management on or before **15th October 2014**.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue of The Journal of Community Informatics: Research Methods for Community Informatics
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Jul '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue of The Journal of Community Informatics: Research Methods for Community Informatics Datum: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 17:38:50 +0530 Von: michael gurstein <gurstein(a)gmail.com> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): Colin Rhinesmith <crhines(a)illinois.edu> Call for Papers: The Journal of Community Informatics (http://ci-journal.net) Special Issue - Research Methods for Community Informatics The Journal of Community Informatics (JoCI) is seeking scholarly articles and notes from the field for a special issue on Research Methods for Community Informatics. Community Informatics is the study and the practice of enabling communities with Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs). JoCI is an international journal that focuses on how researchers and practitioners work with communities towards the effective use of ICTs to improve their processes, achieve their objectives, overcome the "digital divides" that exist both within and between communities, and empower communities and citizens. This is possible in areas such as health, cultural production, civic management and e-governance, among others. JoCI is a focal point for the communication of research of interest to a global network of academics, community informatics practitioners, and national and multi-lateral policy makers. JoCI is currently indexed in the IBSS and Google Scholar as well as several indexes of Open Access journals. Efforts are underway concerning additional scholarly indexing. More information regarding JoCI is available at http://ci-journal.net. The guest editors for the special issue are: Dr. Colin Rhinesmith (University of Oklahoma, USA), Dr. Mark Wolfe (University of Alberta, Canada), and Andy Bytheway (Retired Professor of Information Management at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa). Objective This special issue will focus on the methods used to investigate how ICTs can support local economic development, social justice, and political empowerment. Community Informatics (CI) is a point of convergence concerning the use of ICTs for diverse stakeholders, including community leaders and activists, nonprofit groups, policymakers, users/citizens, and the range of academics working across (and integrating) disciplines as diverse as Information Studies, Management, Computer Science, Social Work, Planning and Development Studies. This diversity brings with it a range of methodological approaches - and tensions - to the field of CI. The special issue seeks to both disentangle and organize the use of existing methods in CI research and to explore innovative new approaches used by researchers and practitioners in their work with communities. Topics This special issue seeks articles focused on methodological topics and issues related to community informatics research. We encourage contributions that come from a wide range of perspectives, including (but not limited to): Conceptual foundations. What are the pros and cons of positivist, interpretivist, and critical methods in the CI context? Data elicitation. What techniques are needed for reliable data to be collected in local communities, and what is the role of the cloud, "big data," and data analytics in this context? Measures of success. What is the extent to which key variables and measures of CI investment success are actually understood? Ethics. How are research ethics understood in the context of CI work? Comparative analysis. How can shared local and global research resources be developed for comparative studies in different regions of the world? Cross-cultural studies. How are data elicitation techniques and methods used in a cross-cultural context? Extant theory. What is the applicability of other extant theories from related research areas (e.g., MIS, anthropology, science and technology studies, etc.) to the field of CI methodology? We also invite authors to submit "Notes from the Field" from CI practitioners and policy makers that describe relevant methodological topics and issues. Submission procedure and deadlines Full original and unpublished articles for this special issue should be submitted via the JoCI website. Authors are invited to submit full-length papers between 5000-7000 words and notes from the field between 3000-5000 words. All full-length research articles will be double blind peer-reviewed. Notes from the field containing insights and analytical perspectives from practitioners and policy makers are also encouraged - these will not be peer-reviewed. All authors should provide a note to the editors via the website indicating their interest in having their submissions considered for the special issue on "Research Methods for Community Informatics." Interested authors should consult the journal's editorial policies and author guidelines for submissions at http://ci-journal.net/index.php/ciej/information/authors. Full article draft submissions due: November 15, 2014. Notes from the field due: December 15, 2014. All inquiries should be directed to: Colin Rhinesmith, Guest Editor Email: crhines(a)illinois.edu (before August 1, 2014) / crhinesmith(a)ou.edu (after August 1, 2014) --- Colin Rhinesmith, Ph.D. Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign http://people.lis.illinois.edu/~crhines _______________________________________________ The Air-L(a)listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/ _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

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, ontological or engineering perspective. This special session is part of the International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K - http://www.ic3k.org/), to be held in Rome, Italy on October 21 - 24, 2014. It will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information and Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with the The European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM), Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems (ACM SIGMIS), ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (ACM SIGART) and Information & Knowledge Management Society (IKMS). INSTICC is Member of the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA), Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG). Logistics Partner the Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS). Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
