-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Collective Intelligence and Crowds at HICSS (June 15 deadline) Datum: Sun, 17 May 2015 15:58:02 -0400 Von: Jeff Nickerson <jnickerson(a)stevens.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Please consider submitting to our minitrack entitled: Collective Intelligence and Crowds: Structure, Roles, and Identity This minitrack is co-chaired by Pnina Fichman and Don Steiny, and is part of the Digital and Social Media track. http://www.hicss.org/ The conference is on Kauai, Jan 5-8. We are looking for papers that analyze collective intelligence, knowledge creation, and crowdsourcing. We also encourage the submission of papers that design and implement technologies that create new kinds of organizations. In addition, we want papers that analyze social interaction as a way of better understanding underlying social structures, and in particular the social construction of identity and roles. In sum, we are open to a wide range of research that addresses relations between people, collectives, and machines, as well as the products produced as a result. If you have any questions about the appropriateness of a paper, feel free to send an informal description to any of us. If you are interested in reviewing, regardless of whether you are submitting, we will appreciate your help; let us know how many papers you can handle and we will put you on the list. In addition, Kalle Lyytinen and I will be repeating our workshop on Collective Intelligence and Crowdsourcing on the afternoon of the first day. Mary Gray from Microsoft Research will be our featured speaker, and we welcome any ideas or contributions you would like to make to the workshop: we are going to focus on industrial aspects of crowds. Finally, I hope to see some of you at Collective Intelligence 2015, May 31-June 2 in Santa Clara. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

The success of the previous events shows that RCRA is becoming a major forum for exchanging ideas and proposing experimentation methodologies for algorithms in Artificial Intelligence. * ______________________________________________________________________ * The workshop will take place in Ferrara, Italy, September 21-22, 2015 as a workshop of the 14th Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA 2015). IMPORTANT DATES Abstract and paper submission deadline: June 19th, 2015 Notification of acceptance: July 19th, 2015 Early registration: July 31st, 2015 Final version of accepted paper: August 7th, 2015 Workshop days: 21-22 September 2015 AIMS AND SCOPE Many problems in Artificial Intelligence show an exponential explosion of the search space. Although stemming from different research areas in AI, such problems are often addressed with algorithms that have a common goal: the effective exploration of huge state spaces. Many algorithms developed in one research area are applicable to other problems, or can be hybridized with techniques in other areas. Artificial Intelligence tools often exploit or hybridize techniques developed by other research communities, such as Operations Research. In recent years, research in Artificial Intelligence has more and more focused on experimental evaluation of algorithms, the development of suitable methodologies for experimentation and analysis, the study of languages and the implementation of systems for the definition and solution of problems. Scope of the workshop is fostering the cross-fertilization of ideas stemming from different areas, proposing benchmarks for new challenging problems, comparing models and algorithms from an experimental viewpoint, and, in general, comparing different approaches with respect to efficiency, problem modeling, and ease of development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experimental evaluation of algorithms for o knowledge representation o automated reasoning o planning o scheduling o machine learning o model checking o boolean satisfiability (SAT) o constraint programming o argumentation o temporal reasoning o combinatorial optimization o quantified boolean formulae and quantified constraints o modal logics o logic programming o answer set programming o ontological reasoning * Definition and construction of benchmarks * Experimentation methodologies * Metaheuristics * Algorithm hybridization * Static analysis of combinatorial problems * Languages and systems for definition and solution of problems * Comparisons between systems and algorithms * Application experiences (visualization, graphics, security, transports, ...) WORKSHOP CHAIRS * Stefano Bistarelli University of Perugia, Italy * Andrea Formisano University of Perugia, Italy * Marco Maratea University of Genova, Italy WORKSHOP PROGRAM COMMITTEE TBA HOST ORGANIZATION University of Ferrara, Italy SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit either original (full or short) papers, or papers that appear on conference proceedings. Publications showing negative results are welcome, provided that the approach was original and very promising in principle, the experimentation was well-conducted, the results obtained were unforeseeable and gave important hints in the comprehension of the target problem, helping other researchers to avoid unsuccessful paths. At the time of submission, authors are requested to clearly specify whether their submission is original or already published. Workshop submissions must be in PDF format, do not exceed 15 (for full papers) or 8 (for short papers) pages, and should be written in LaTeX, using the LNCS style. RCRA 2015 uses EasyChair for the submission of contributions. Details will be made available soon. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. PROGRAM COMMITTEE TBA PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be published online, as an issue of the CEUR-WS workshop proceeding series. Moreover, as in previous editions (http://rcra.aixia.it/publications), we are considering the possibility of having workshop post-proceedings appearing in a special issue of an international journal, provided that a sufficient amount of high quality papers is collected.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] FGCS special issue (IF: 2.639): Big Data in the Cloud due on May 31 2015 Datum: Sat, 16 May 2015 19:19:41 +0000 Von: Chang V.I. <vic1e09(a)soton.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies if you've received from somewhere. Big Data research in the Cloud is expected to be the hottest topic in the next few years. There are papers demonstrating architectures, applications, services, experiments and simulations in the Cloud to support the cases for Big Data adoption. For organizations that adopt Big Data, the boundary between the use of private clouds, public clouds, Internet of Things (IoT) is sometimes very thin to allow better access, performance and efficiency of analyzing the data and understanding the data analysis. A common approach is to develop Big Data in the Cloud to deliver Everything as a Service. While volume, variety, velocity, veracity and value are the major factors in Big Data systems and applications, there are other challenges to be resolved. We classify all the challenges into nine categories and we seek the best papers, demonstrations, recommendations and solutions in the following areas: 1) Techniques, algorithms and innovative methods of processing Big Data in the Cloud (or Big datasets) that achieve performance, accuracy and low-costs. 2) Big Data Design, implementation, evaluation and services in the Cloud, including the development process, use cases, experiments and associated simulations. 3) Systems and applications developed by Big Data and descriptions of how Big Data can be used in multidisciplines such as bioinformatics, finance and education. 4) Big Data services and applications in natural science, weather science, physics and astronomy. 5) Security, privacy, trust, data ownership and risk simulations for Big Data in the Cloud. 6) Business and economic models (quantitative or computational), social network analyses, scientific workflows and business processes related to Big Data in the Cloud. 7) Big Data in the Cloud integrations with other technologies such as SOA, data mining, machine learning, HPC, cloud storage, multi-clouds and internet of things. 8) Big Data analytics and visualization with new algorithms showing how to achieve significant improvements from existing methods in the Cloud. 9) Adoption cases, frameworks and user evaluations involved with quantitative or computational research methods for Big Data in the Cloud. We seek recommendations and innovative methods that can be successfully delivered to multidisciplines, providing us quality papers centered on Big Data in the Cloud and whose lessons learned will be transferable across disciplines to encourage inter-disciplinary research and funding activities essential for progressive research and development. Papers will be peer reviewed by independent reviewers and selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the topics of this special issue. The journal editors will make final decisions on the acceptance of the papers. A few best papers from CloudCom 2014 and Enterprise Security 2014 will be invited. Link: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/future-generation-computer-systems/call-fo… Submission Guidelines Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Guide for Authors available from the online submission page of the Future Generation Computer Systems at http://ees.elsevier.com/fgcs/.

Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/cpscom2015/ Key dates: Submission Deadline: July 15, 2015 (extended, firm) Notification: September 25, 2015 Final Manuscript Due: October 15, 2015 Submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/cpscom2015/submission.htm Publication: Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press. Special issues: Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Journal of Network and Computer Applications, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, and IEEE Transactions on Big Data. =========== Introduction As an emerging cross-disciplinary research area, the Cyber Physical System (CPS) is attracting attention worldwide. A Cyber-Physical System is a system featuring a combination of computational and physical elements, all of which are capable of interacting, reflecting and influencing each other. Furthermore, social systems are evolving with cyber systems and physical systems along with the popularity of online social networking. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing and networking, future social networks turn into cyber-physical interactions, which are attached with associated social attributes. The emergence of the cyber-physical-social computing will significantly change the way we see the world.

ISI research is an interdisciplinary research field covering information technologies, computer science, public policy, bioinformatics, and social and behavior studies. This year's theme is: Securing the World through an Alignment of Technology, Intelligence, Humans and Organizations Over the past 12 years, IEEE ISI has evolved from its traditional orientation of intelligence and security domain towards a more integrated alignment of multiple domains, including technology, humans, organization, and security. The conference will address the need of the ISI community by understanding the interrelationships between these different components, and by integrating recent advances from different domains in addressing intelligence and security threats. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS * Keynote speakers - Mark E. Segal, National Security Agency - Jeremy Epstein, National Science Foundation - Jay F. Nunamaker, University of Arizona - Donna Dodson, National Institute of Standards and Technology - Dr. Alan Sherman, University of Maryland, Baltimore County * Panel session on Privacy and Security Challenges in Modern IoT Systems * Invited speakers - Donald Norris, University of Maryland, Baltimore County - Adam J.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: 2nd Int. Wkshp on Concept. Modeling in Requirements and Bus. Analysis (MREBA), with ER15 Datum: Wed, 13 May 2015 19:41:48 +0200 Von: Jennifer Horkoff <jenhork(a)cs.utoronto.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Deadline approaching* CALL FOR PAPERS MReBA'15 Second International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling in Requirements and Business Analysis (MReBA) Formerly "Requirements, Intentions, and Goals in Conceptual Modeling" (RIGiM) in Conjunction with the 34th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER'15) Stockholm, Sweden October 19-22th, 2014 IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission May 30th, 2015 Notification June 19th, 2015 Camera Ready July 3rd, 2015 https://sites.google.com/site/mrebaworkshop15/ SCOPE AND TOPICS Requirements Engineering (RE) aims at capturing desired system functionality and qualities. Though often specified in natural language, such information is also captured in conceptual models for sharing a collaborative perception of requirements, to facilitate analysis, and to transform into architecture design and code. In practice, requirements activities often fall under the heading of Business Analysis (BA), determining how a business can make use of technology in order to improve its operations, meet targets, and thrive in a competitive economy. Use of models in this context allows for an explicit consideration of business strategy, including operationalization of strategies in terms of system requirements. The MReBA workshop arises from a revitalization of the RIGiM (Requirements, Intentions, and Goals in Conceptual Modeling) workshop series. MReBA aims to provide a forum for discussing the interplay between Requirements Engineering and conceptual modeling, and in particular how requirements modeling can be effectively used as part of business analysis. TOPICS OF INTEREST Submissions should address the relation between Requirements Engineering and/or Business Analysis and conceptual modelling on the selected topic. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Modelling for Business Analysis and Business Intelligence - Motivations/Intentions as part of Enterprise Modelling - Goal-based Business Process Modelling - Modeling for Enterprise Architecture - Modelling for process (re-)engineering or selection - Modelling and analysis of distributed systems - Modelling for Knowledge Management/Acquisition/Sharing - Modelling as part of collaborative RE/BA - Goal/Intention-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) - Ontological perspectives on RE/BA models - RE/BA language interoperability, integration, transformation - Capturing laws, regulation, and compliance - Industrial or systems requirements modeling - Dealing with model uncertainty - Visual notation for RE/BA models - Analysis and reasoning, including decision support - Modelling security, privacy, risk, and safety - Capturing prioritization, customization and preferences - Modelling methodologies, processes, and methods - RE/BA model scalability, complexity, and modularity - Model feedback and validation - Industrial experiences and empirical studies related to RE/BA modelling FORMAT AND DURATION We aim for a highly interactive forum with an emphasis on discussion. The working language is English. Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Thus, authors must submit manuscripts using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in Computer Science. See http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. TYPES OF PAPERS We solicit three types of papers: full papers (10 pages max), including technical papers and empirical evaluations (case studies, experience reports, surveys); position or vision papers (6 pages max); and industrial problem statements (6 pages max).
