Special Track: Semantic and Cognitive Computing ----------------------------------------------- For the 20th edition of NLDB, we especially solicit submissions for our special track: Natural Language and its connection to Semantic and Cognitive Computing. Semantic computing aims at connecting the meaning of the userâs need with semantics of content in a multidisciplinary fashion. Cognitive Computing systems naturally interact with people and learn over time. While natural language understanding is necessary for semantic understanding and interacting with a cognitive system (e.g. a question answering system or a search application), it is an open question how to leverage direct or indirect user feedback for improving the overall system's output, but also for improving the natural language processing stack and evolving the system's knowledge representations. Further, the interaction of natural language and formalized knowledge repositories is attained differently in the literature.Â Papers for the special track especially focus on the adaptivity and the combination of NL and knowledge processing systems: domain adaptation, adaptation over time, adaptivity and user feedback, wisdom of the crowds, information fusion from heterogeneous sources, incremental/online machine learning. We especially encourage submission of survey and discussion papers for the special track.Â NLDB'15 Topics -------------- Further, we encourage submissions on the following topics: * Applications of NLP in Information Systems: Multilingual Information Systems, NLP in Requirement Engineering, NLP in Knowledge Management, Semantic Data Integration and Data Cleaning. * Social Media and Web Data: Corpus analysis, Language identification, Text normalization, Robust NLP for social media, Text classification, Information Extraction and Sentiment Analysis for social media. * Semantic Web Open Linked Data: Ontology Learning and Alignment, Populating ontologies, Querying Ontologies and linked data, Semantic tagging and classification, Ontology-driven NLP. * Question Answering (QA): NL interfaces to databases, QA using web data, multi-lingual QA, Non-factoid QA (how/why/opinion questions, lists), geographical QA, QA corpora and training sets. * Natural language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive Computing, Embedded, Robotic and Mobile Applications. * Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling: Analysis of Natural Language Descriptions, Terminological Ontologies, Consistency Checking, Metadata Creation and Harvesting, Ontology-driven Systems Integration, Ontology Management. * NLP Applications: Business Intelligence, Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis, QA systems, Event Detection, Named Entity and Event Detection, Information Extraction, Summarization, NLP for Data Mining, NLP for Data Warehouses, Plagiarism detection, Identity detection. Submission information ---------------------- All accepted papers will be included in Springer proceedings of the conference. We solicit four types of papers: * Long papers: Up to 12 pages, plus references. Long papers should describe unpublished, complete research * Short papers: Up to 6 pages, plus references. Short papers describe a comparative evaluation of existing works, a negative result, or consist of a survey, discussion or position paper. Â * Poster and Demo papers: Up to 4 pages, plus references: Poster/Demo papers describe a small focused result, a negative result, or a late-breaking result, or a description of a system that can be demonstrated on-site at the conference.Â The review process is single-blind, i.e. you do not need to anonymize your submission.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] SPECIAL ISSUE ON Big Data and Business Analytics Adoption and Use: A Step toward Transforming Operations and Production Management Datum: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 23:51:20 +0000 Von: Samuel FOSSO WAMBA <Samuel.FOSSO.WAMBA(a)neoma-bs.fr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* SUBMISSION DUE DATE: *February 15, 2015* Reviewer first reports: *June 15, 2015* Revised paper submission: *September 15, 2015* Reviewer second reports: *December 10, 2015* Final manuscript submissions to publisher: *March 15, 2016* SPECIAL ISSUE ON *Big Data and Business Analytics Adoption and Use: A Step toward Transforming Operations and Production Management?* ** International Journal of Operations & Production Management *Guest Editors: * Dr Samuel Fosso Wamba, Associate Professor, NEOMA Business School, France Dr Andrew Taylor, Professor, Bradford University School of Management, UK Dr Eric Ngai, Professor, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Dr Fred Riggins, Associate Professor, North Dakota State University, USA *Introduction:* Big data analytics is deï¬ned as â/a collection of data and technology that accesses, integrates, and reports all available data by filtering, correlating, and reporting insights not attainable with past data technologies/â (APICS 2012 <#_ENREF_1>). It is an emerging phenomenon which reflects the ever increasing significance of data in terms of its growing volumes, variety and velocity (the speed with which it is being created and processed) (Department for Business- Innovation and Skills 2013 <#_ENREF_3>). While data has always been a part of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) agenda, it is the scale and scope of change which big data is bringing that has attracted so much attention. Like many new phenomena it is sometimes over-sold because of hype or misunderstanding, yet there are tangible case studies of the power of big data to generate value and competitive advantage, albeit such examples remain comparatively small in number to-date. Its applications have been strong in the financial services, insurance, retailing and healthcare sectors, while in manufacturing, companies such as Rolls Royce and Ford have been reported to derive success from big data in predicting engine failures before they occur and in managing supplier risk (Goodwin 2013 <#_ENREF_6>). For Operations Management, big data has the potential to enable more sophisticated data-driven decision making and new ways to organise, learn and innovate (Yiu 2012 <#_ENREF_13>; Kiron 2013 <#_ENREF_7>). Its impact may be manifest in strengthening customer relationships, managing operations risk, improving operational efficiency or by improving product or service delivery or whatever the key business drivers may be (Kiron 2013 <#_ENREF_7>). Operations in many organisations are experiencing much more voluminous and unstructured data environments because of real-time information from sensors and RFID tags which facilitate asset and business process monitoring (Davenport, Barth et al. 2012 <#_ENREF_2>), end-to-end supply chain visibility, improved manufacturing and industrial automation (Wilkins 2013 <#_ENREF_12>), manufacturing efficiency and effectiveness (Zelbst, Green et al. 2011 <#_ENREF_14>). Ford, for example, is reported to be scouring â/the metrics from the company's best processes across myriad manufacturing efforts and through detailed outputs from in-use automobiles--all to improve and help transform its business./â (Gardner 2013 <#_ENREF_4>). However, despite some reported successes, OM researchers need to retain a healthy scepticism until rigorous research has been done in operations contexts. That is why this new phenomenon should have the attention of OM researchers, and hence this call for papers. Given its high operational and strategic potential, notably in generating business value within various industries, big data has recently become the focus of a variety of scholars and practitioners. Some researchers have recently suggested that âbig dataâ is the ânext big thing in innovationâ (Gobble 2013, p.64 <#_ENREF_5>), âthe fourth paradigm of scienceâ (Strawn, (2012 <#_ENREF_10>)), or âthe next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivityâ (Manyika, Chui et al. 2011, p.1 <#_ENREF_9>). As a result, challenges related to big data have confronted businesses and organizations. In the operations and service contexts, big data also holds tremendous potential. In a recent survey study on third-party logistics services (3PL), (Langley 2014 <#_ENREF_8>) found that 97% of shippers and 93% of 3PLs âfeel strongly that improved, data-driven decision-making is essential to the future success of their supply chain activities and processesâ (p. 4), whereas approximately50% of each group disagrees that âbig data fuels these decisionsâ which shows how much potential for big data has still to be realized (p. 4). Big retailers are currently leveraging big data capabilities for improved customer experience, fraud reduction, and just-in-time recommendations (Tweney 2013 <#_ENREF_11>). In addition, big data technologies can be implemented in a range of applications including industrial automation <http://www.dpaonthenet.net/products/183/Control-Automation>tools, building management systems, production equipment, sales force information systems, and power plan conditions tools. For example, big data enabled-automation and manufacturing facilitates real-time detection and diagnosis of production issues, and thus reduces significantly downtime costs. Similarly, insights from big data analytics allows real-time process monitoring and measurement for improved quality management, logistics and order fulfilment cycles (Wilkins 2013 <#_ENREF_12>). In short, â/by observing causal factors for quality issues, process variability and energy efficiency through the manufacturing process, big data analysis becomes the basis for gaining a competitive advantage/â(Wilkins 2013 <#_ENREF_12>). Even if big data holds the capability of transforming competition and thus competitive advantage, many managers are still struggling to understand the concepts related to big data, consequently failing to capture business value from big data. In addition, very few empirical studies have been conducted on the real value from big data. *Objective:* The main objective of this special issue is to fill this knowledge gap. Specifically, this special issue aims to invite OM scholars and practitioners to look at the ways and means to co-create and capture business value from big data in terms of new business opportunities, improved performance, and competitive advantage. The results will in turn reveal the implications of big data on operations management practices and strategies. ** *Recommended Topics:* The topics to be discussed in this special issue include but are not limited to the following: Â·Assessment of the effect of big data on operations and production management systems Â·Assessment of the effect of big data on the decision-making processes in operations Â·Assessment of facilitators and inhibitors of big data adoption for logistics, order fulfilment, distribution and supply chain management Â·Big data-enabled business analytics at the plant location , organizational, and supply chain levels Â·In-depth & longitudinal case studies and pilot studies on the implementation of IT infrastructure to support big data initiatives for improved operations management, lean & agile operations, quality management in operations and supply chain management Â·Facilitation of innovative electronic business models and operations by using big data in various sectors (e.g., healthcare, retail industry, and manufacturing) Â·New theory development to explain the adoption and use of big data in operations at the organizational and inter-organizational levels Â·Empirical studies assessing the business value of big data in terms of quality management, new products and services design, improved internal and supply chain operations capabilities Â·Social media and big data in cloud for services, operations and production management transformation Â·Placement of data analytics and big data in cloud for services, operations and production management transformation *Submission Procedure* Prospective authorsare invited to submit papers for this special thematic issue on *â**Big Data Adoption and Use: A Step toward Transforming Operations and Production Managementâ*on or before February 15, 2015.

SPECIAL SESSIONS Special Sessions will include:Tutorials, Workshops and Panels For a Special Session proposal to be considered for acceptance at Digital Heritage 2015, the proposed topic needs to be a presentation of teaching objectives (tutorials), contributions to the state-of-the-art, new initiatives or an emerging area in one of the core themes of the conference. The topic should be timely and significantly important to the audience, and the speakers need to convey compelling information about it. Tutorials should be planned as half-day or full-day, at introductory, intermediate or advanced levels, and could cover any theme among the entire spectrum of topics of the Conference. They could focus vertically on technology, or could demonstrate its potential for creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. While proposing a tutorial, authors should consider that tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to education, curatorship and applications. Proposals for Workshops and Panels will be judged by the ability to bring together key researchers from the CH as well as ICT domains, aiming at introducing a new area to the overall community, to further develop it, and to help establishing a larger research community beyond that area. Special session proposals covering multi-disciplinary areas are particularly encouraged, as well as those proposals regarding common challenges, e.g. (and not restricted to) Methods in Archaeology, Museums and Technology, etc. Special Session submissions (up to 4 A4-pages) should contain the following information: A title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the DH community (not more than 1,500 words); Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of expertise; A short CV for each presenter, participant or authors who have agreed to participate with their results to the session A description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); Any special requirements for technical support. Additionally, Tutorial proposals should include: A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported as well. Workshop proposals must include: The intended length and format of the workshop and the forecasted number of attendees; A proposed budget (as DH workshops are expected to be self-financing).

The Open University, UK ========================================================== Important dates: ---------------------------------------------------------- *** Deadline: 15 May, 2015 *** ---------------------------------------------------------- Other important dates: • Notification to the authors: 20 June, 2015 • Deadline for submission of the final camera ready version of accepted papers: 20 July, 2015 • Publication of the special issue: end of August 2015 =========================================================== Overview ----------------------------------------------------------- Today, learning often occurs collaboratively in learner networks, formal learning is combined with informal learning, and learners use, for example, personalised and personal learning environments adapted to their needs and preferences. While our learning environments have progressed with the help of technology, assessment practices are often reproducing traditional power relations and do not provide more control for the learner enabling self-directed learning. While in the literature often an ‘agency change’ in the educational eco-system is proposed, in practice this agency change is often not happening. While many e-assessment technologies are still rooted in an old testing paradigm triggered by the institution or the teacher, new approaches need to strife for an agency change towards the learners as the trigger of feedback and assessment processes need to enable self-regulated learning. Modern and innovative technologies for technology-enhanced assessment show one or more of the following aspects: 1. Flexible timing: Future assessment and feedback needs to be available when needed by the learner and must avoid disturbing the learner in the learning process. Furthermore, timing depends on the learner’s characteristics (e.g., performance level, goal orientation level) and the complexity of the task. 2. Automation: To avoid an overload of teachers and learners automation is important. Automation can happen at design time of the assessment, during run-time (i.e., solving the test item including feedback mechanism, during scoring, or even after the feedback has been provided. Scoring is meant to be the evaluation of the student’s answer to an assessment item whereas the last category of automation refer to identifying the utilisation of feedback. 3. Adaptivity/Adaptability: Assessment and feedback needs to be adaptive towards the individual and his state of knowledge and other preferences. Adaptability means that the personalisation are controlled and steered by the user (i.e., user-driven). Adaptivity means that the system controls the personalisation (i.e., system-driven). 4. Data triangulation: Scoring and rich feedback need to combine data from different sources. 5. Continuity and dialogue: Feedback and assessment needs to be a continuous process and not restricted to ongoing courses or the schedule of the study year. A continuous dialogue between teachers, learner, peers and systems is essential. This special issue will focus on innovative technologies with the potential to contribute to the agency change in the educational eco-system. The issue will bring together contributions in TEL that deal with approaches and innovative assessment technologies that support the transition from current assessment scenarios towards the development of novel forms of e-assessment through which different types of knowledge and skills are evaluated, continuous feedback is provided, and students are more engaged in the learning process. Contributions are expected in the area of TEL from different fields (technology-based assessment, educational measurement, IT&TEL, pedagogy, teacher education, educational psychology, etc.), which provide insights into how future assessment could enhance motivation and learning in TEL environments. --------------------- Topics of Interests --------------------- Include but are not limited to the following topics: • formative assessment in adaptive systems • formative assessment for users with special needs • formative assessment for 21st Century skills • mobile assessment • feedback technologies • integrated e-assessment, embedded assessment • location-based/context aware educational feedback • (automated) item design and generation • automated analysis of open answers • alignment of formative and summative feedback • peer-assessment • learning analytics for assessment purposes • standard-conform e-assessment, flexible e-assessment, interoperable e-assessment • e-assessment in complex learning - i.e. collaborative learning, serious games, 3D worlds and digital stories, discussion forums • learning analytics and assessment • assessment rubrics • new interaction modalities for assessment and feedback The target audience for this special issue is broad and includes educational researchers, psychometricians, computer scientists but also experts from other domains that focus on technology-enhanced assessment. KEYWORDS: Formative assessment, eAssessment, technology-enhanced assessment, feedback loops, self-directed learning, agency change. ========================================================== Submission procedure ---------------------------------------------------------- The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format.
