Fwd: [AISWorld] JVLC Special Issue on Semiotics, Human-Computer Interaction and End-User Development – Second call for submissions

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] JVLC Special Issue on Semiotics, Human-Computer Interaction and End-User Development – Second call for submissions Datum: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 15:28:32 +0100 Von: Yvonne Dittrich <ydi(a)itu.dk> Antwort an: ydi(a)itu.dk An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Sorry for cross posting Journal of Visual Languages and Computing [1]Special Issue on Semiotics, Human-Computer Interaction and End-User Development ([2]http://bit.ly/JVLC-SemHciEud) Over the last three decades, semiotics has inspired a number of researchers interested in the design of interactive languages and interactive systems. The hallmark of semiotic approaches to computing is to view computers as a medium for signs, their transformation and their use in communication. This also applies for the programming of computers by both ICT experts and domain experts. One of the main attractions to explore computers and Human-Computer Interaction from a semiotic perspective is that many semiotic approaches allow accounting for both the design of user interfaces and the design of End-User Development (EUD) environments and languages with the same set of concepts, frameworks or methods. As the diversity of interface modalities and media has increased and enabled sophisticated multimodal multimedia communication between users and systems, semiotics is gaining more attention by human-computer interaction researchers and professionals. The role of ICT in contemporary societies - no matter how diverse their cultural background is - calls for technologies that users can reinterpret and adapt easily in relation to a rapid change of the use context often provoked by the technology itself. The stage is thus set for semiotics to make relevant contributions to the move from `easy to use' to `easy to develop'. The aim of the special issue is to collect current research to semiotic approaches to HCI and especially to EUD, providing a reference point for current and future researchers interested in relating semiotics with HCI and EUD. We invite articles that discuss what Semiotics has, can and might contribute to the field of HCI and End User Development. The following list of topics serves as an indication for relevant themes: . The Need for Semiotic studies o Semiotic Models, Methods, and Frameworks for HCI and EUD o Semiotics and Cultures of participation o Semiotics in Empirical studies of EUD practices o Semiotic and user (re)appropriation of software in context . Supporting Evolution through Semiotics o Semiotics informing EUD language and interactive systems design. o Mashups and Web remix technologies o Semiotics in the Design of Interactive Languages o Abductive reasoning support for EUD o Support for EUD-related collaboration among non-professional programmers . Critique and Commentary o Semiotic theories and HCI o Semiotic theories and EUD o Semiotically-informed frameworks, methods and techniques for interactive systems design and EUD . Surveys o Semiotics and Visual Languages o Semiotics and User Interface Languages o Semiotics and Interaction Languages The number of accepted papers will be between three and ten. If the number falls below three, there will be no special issue and the accepted papers will be published as regular papers. Submitted manuscripts must not have appeared or been under review elsewhere. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by at least three reviewers in accordance with the refereeing procedure of Journal of Visual Languages and Computing. SUBMISSIONS We solicit submission of papers consisting of original research and surveys. Formatting guidelines can be found on the JVLC webpage: [3]http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622907/ authorinstructions All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES) [4]http://ees.elsevier.com/jvlc/ by selecting "SI:Semiotics, HCI and EUD" as Article Type name.

Enrollments in online programs of all types continue to grow with as many as 37% percent of all U.S college students taking at least one online course. The proportion of academic leaders who consider online learning a critical long term strategy increased from 48.8% in 2002 to 70.8% in 2014 and yet only 28% say their faculty members accept the "value and legitimacy of online education." [1] These figures illustrate the potential of online education to broaden students’ choices for collegiate-level learning as well as and the many obstacles to its efficient and effective implementation. We invite papers that explore the opportunities and tackle the challenges of online education. Empirical, theoretical, or position papers are welcome. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following: Online learning models and pedagogyTechnological advancements that support online educationStudent, faculty and societal perceptions of online educationEvaluation and assessment of student achievement in online contextsBest practicesIssues and challenges, e.g., retention, plagiarism, performance evaluation, management, curriculum design accreditation, scalability, service and learning material customization.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue On Decision-Making Support Systems for Supporting Quality Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions Datum: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:54:09 -0600 (CST) Von: mmora(a)securenym.net An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): MRaisinghani(a)mail.twu.edu, wangfen(a)cwu.edu, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST) Special Issue On: Decision-Making Support Systems for Supporting Quality Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions Submission Due Date March 31, 2016 Guest Editors Dr. Manuel Mora, Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, Mexico Dr. Fen Wang, Central Washington University, USA Dr. Michael Raisinghani, Texas Womans University, USA Dr. Jorge Marx Gomez, University of Oldenburg, Germany Introduction In the modern world of knowledge economy, the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in increasing and sustaining the country competitiveness (Schleicher, 2006). HEIs, both public and private ones, are also not exempt from the market forces and governmental pressures for being more efficient and effective (CEE, 2003; Dumond & Johnson, 2013). The general aim on high quality educational services provision is now mandatory for any HEI around the globe. To assess and stimulate high quality educational services in HEIs, national and international regulator agencies have elaborated standards and guidelines on quality of education (Doherthy, 1997; ENQA, 2005). Consequently, HEIs are encouraged to satisfy and fulfill such expected nationwide and international regulations. Given this situation, top managers from HEIs face the challenge of leading their organizations toward the achievement and compliance of such educational quality regulations. As Tsinidou et al. (2010, pp. 227) pointed out: Universities have realized that their long-term survival depends on how good their services are and that quality sets one university apart from the rest. HEIs, thus, are implementing Quality Management Systems (QMS) (ISO, 2005; 2007; Bae, 2007). In particular, decision making is a core activity performed in the QMS because of the strong positive or negative consequences from adequate or inadequate decisions made in HEIs. Decision-making activity can be defined as the managerial process of framing a decision-making situation, designing a decision model with a set of courses of action and evaluation criteria, evaluating such a set against the evaluation criteria for selecting the most adequate course of action, and implementing it, and learning from its outcomes and its process (Forgionne et al., 2009). Given the inherent difficulty of carrying out a decision-making process manually, this process has been vastly supported by special computer-based applications called Decision-Making Support Systems (DMSS) (Mora et al., 2002). In general, DMSS have been widely used in domains such as financial, healthcare, military, and politics among many others (Mora et al., 2002). Furthermore, several well-structured DMSS development methodologies and DMSS maturity models have been reported in the literature (Mora et al., 2011; El-Gayar et al., 2011). However, in the particular domain of QMS for HEIs, its utilization has been scarcely reported (Mustafa & Goh, 1996; Ho et al., 2006). Hence, under this managerial context of HEIs, our aim is to raise awareness on the worldwide HEI top management community, as well as on the value that DMSS can provide to HEIs. Simultaneously, this CFP is a call for DMSS research community for addressing the challenges and opportunities in the HEI QMS domain. References Bae, S. (2007).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] RePriCo Call for Papers - International Workshop on Requirements Prioritization and Communication Datum: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:36:34 +0100 Von: Annika Lenz <Annika.Lenz(a)wi1.uni-hohenheim.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> RePriCo'16 ******************************************************************************* 7th International Workshop on Requirements Prioritization and Communication http://herzwurm.net/reprico/ March 14, 2016, Gothenburg - Sweden At the 22nd International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality (REFSQ2016) ******************************************************************************* Call for Papers Unless you have unlimited resources you have to decide which customer needs to fulfill first and which ones later. This management task of focusing and controlling the development represents above all a communication process between all relevant stakeholders. Prioritization activities and means of communication have to go hand in hand to minimize the risk of dissatisfying the customer. Coping with interdependent tasks and sharing their motivation these strongly intertwined actions strive to achieve consensus about the requirements to be fulfilled in a negotiation process. RePriCo'16 will serve as a platform for the presentation and discussion of new and innovative approaches to prioritization and communication issues in requirements engineering. Topics can either carry out new research approaches with a fundamental theoretical background or best-practices from practitioners. The workshop aims at bringing together the more formal disciplines of decision support using evaluation methods with the more informal domains of negotiation and collaboration. The workshop wants to further raise the communities' awareness to the important linkage of communication and prioritization activities in Requirements Engineering. Submission We invite original submissions as classical full research papers or experience reports (up to 12 pages). Due to the highly interactive character of the workshop aiming at a lively and controversial discussion we encourage explicitly the submission of vision papers, problem statements and research previews (up to 6 pages). Important Dates Paper Submission: January 9, 2016 Paper notification: January 30, 2016 Camera-ready: February 18, 2016 Organizing Information Prof. Dr. Georg Herzwurm & Sixten Schockert University Stuttgart, Germany Tel.: +49 (0)711/685-82387 schockert(a)wius.bwi.uni-stuttgart.de Prof. Dr. Mareike Schoop & Annika Lenz, University of Hohenheim, Germany Tel.: +49(0)711/459-23834 annika.lenz(a)wi1.uni-hohenheim.de You can find more detailed information on http://herzwurm.net/reprico/. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
