-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Last CfP: "Critical and participatory development of people centered smart learning ecosystems and territories" @Critical Alternative 2015 Datum: Thu, 14 May 2015 11:09:12 +0200 Von: Carlo Giovannella <mifav(a)roma2.infn.it> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Apologize for unintended cross-mailing ================================================================== Workshop on *"Critical and participatory development of people centered smart learning ecosystems and territories"* @ Critical Alternative 2015 17th August 2015 Aahrus, Denmark http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/critalter2015/ ================================================================== *Important dates:* *** Deadline for submission of position paper: *20th of May, 2015* *** Other important dates: • Notification to the authors: 10th June, 2015 • Camera ready submission: 30th June, 2015 ================================================================== *Introduction and Workshop Goals* Once in 10 years you have the possibility to discuss about current trends in research on computing for quality of life and propose your vision for the future at the decennial Aarhus conference. This time “Critical and participatory development of people centered smart learning ecosystems and territories” has been chosen as one of the themes that are likely to be influential throughout the next decade and offer an agenda for alternatives with computing technologies through new forms of societal and critical engagement. Since 2005 we are assisting to a rush to transform cities into smart cities. At present, however, still doesn’t exist a fully shared definition of smart city: in the understanding of the majority a smart city is a sort of dream-city, i.e. a complex and optimized environment, or eco-system, where it could be desirable to live. This because it promises to preserve and improve the wellbeing of society, exploiting information and communication technologies (ICT) as an infrastructural backbone able to influence and improve key factors like mobility, environment, people, quality of life and governance. However, going beyond the most popular top-down functionalist approach a new vision of regional and city smartness driven by a ‘people in place centered design’ approach is emerging. Not by chance, recently we have assisted to a shift of the meaning ascribed to the adjective ‘smart’ that has incorporated a higher consideration for the centrality of the individuals, their personal characteristics and their expectations, the quality of their experience and their well-being and, as well, for the characteristics of the contexts in which they work and live, to include also the preservation of the environment. In this framework the interaction with the environment is moving from the metaphor “being able to use” towards the metaphor “actively influence and critically build”; individuals are transformed from consumers into “digital enactive” and produce an increasingly amount of “traces” and “artefacts” that actively contribute to the re-definition of places and spaces. It is quite evident that within the development of people centered smart cities the underlying and ubiquitous techno-ecosystems - whose embedded intelligence, sensitivity and responsiveness surround the individuals - challenge the future of the learning ecosystems and call for a critical and participatory redefinition of spaces, contents, processes, skills and benchmarking approaches. Such challenge is not just for researchers or teachers, but requires the involvement of all potential stakeholders to develop critically the mediation role of ICT to: • foster awareness about complexity and its government (orchestration) • support the acquisition of appropriate behaviors, skills & competencies • promote open access to space, tools, services, practices, content/data, people/skills • tame discontinuities (time - space/place - technological - process - learning practices) • identify the driving factors of the smartness including those from the characteristics of local cultures and contexts • support policy and decision making • promote social innovation & learning, capacity building and a sustainable economy • develop adequate monitoring and benchmarking approaches • tame privacy, data control, security and safety ================================================================== *About position papers and authors* According to the expectations of the Critical Alternatives conference we invite submissions from authors who understand themselves in line with the spirit of the Aarhus Conferences and with that of the workshop. Submitted position papers, while academically sound, will be evaluated on the capability to: • inspire the workshop agenda • offer a strong contribution to theory and practice • provide new perspectives and offer critical alternatives • have potential for long lasting impact Position papers should be maximum 10 pages long and formatted in LNCS style. Papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing process (done by invited reviewers from the program committee) that are complemented by a meta-review (done by a primary reviewer/PC member). Submission and review process will be handled by Easychair: *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=slet2015 * To promote discussion we intend to limit the number of accepted contributions to 20-25 people. /Proceedings/ After the workshop, authors of selected contributions will be invited to prepare a revised and extended paper to be included as part of a focus section of Interaction Design and Architecture(s) (IxD&A); an IxD&A slot has been reserved for the first half of 2016 http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php The focus session will be integrated with high quality papers submitted following an open call for papers that will be launched on late Autumn 2015. ==================================================================

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: MUSE 2015 - 6th International ECML/PKDD 2015 Workshop on Mining Ubiquitous and Social Environments Datum: Thu, 14 May 2015 00:28:10 +0200 Von: Martin Atzmueller <atzmueller(a)cs.uni-kassel.de> An: ak-kd-list(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de, fg-db(a)informatik.uni-rostock.de, kdml(a)cs.uni-kassel.de, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ** Please forward to anyone who might be interested ** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS for the 6th International ECML/PKDD 2015 Workshop on *MINING UBIQUITOUS AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS* (MUSE 2015) http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ws/muse2015 ************************************************** *** Paper submission deadline: June 22nd, 2015 *** ************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The emergence of ubiquitous computing has started to create new environments consisting of small, heterogeneous, and distributed devices that foster the social interaction of users in several dimensions. Similarly, the upcoming social web also integrates the user interactions in social networking environments. In typical ubiquitous settings, the mining system can be implemented inside the small devices and sometimes on central servers, for real-time applications, similar to common mining approaches. However, the characteristics of ubiquitous and social mining in general are quite different from the current mainstream data mining and machine learning. Unlike in traditional data mining scenarios, data does not necessarily emerge from a small number of data sources, but potentially from hundreds to millions of different sources. Analysis and prediction using such data sources provides new challenges for the data mining and machine learning community. In a related way, the mining of social data is concerned with investigating emerging phenomena originating from groups of individuals and one or more (heterogenous) data sources. Mining behavioral patterns (e.g., relating to mobility, social interactions, etc.) in ubiquitous and social environments is an important up-and-coming area of research focusing on advanced descriptive and predictive analysis in such distributed and network-organized contexts. Therefore, for this workshop, we aim to attract researchers from all over the world working in the field of data mining and machine learning with a special focus on finding behavioral patterns in ubiquitous and social environments. GOALS AND AUDIENCE ================== The goal of this workshop is to promote an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working in the fields of ubiquitous computing, mobile sensing, social web, Web 2.0, and social networks which are interested in utilizing data mining in a ubiquitous setting. The workshop seeks for contributions adopting state-of-the-art mining algorithms on ubiquitous social data. Papers combining aspects of the two fields are especially welcome. In short, we want to accelerate the process of identifying the power of advanced data mining operating on data collected in ubiquitous and social environments, as well as the process of advancing data mining through lessons learned in analyzing these new data. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The topics of the workshop are split roughly into four areas which include, but are not limited to the following topics: Ubiquitous Mining: * Analysis of data from sensors and mobile devices * Resource-aware algorithms for distributed mining * Scalable and distributed classification, prediction, and clustering algorithms * Mining activity patterns * Activity recognition * Mining continuous streams and ubiquitous data * Online methods for mining temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal data * Combining data from different sources Mining Social Data: * Analysis of social networks and social media * Mining techniques for social networks and social media * Algorithms for inferring semantics and meaning from social data * How social data can be used to mine and create collective intelligence * Individual and group behavior in social media and social networks * Analysis of bias in social systems * Social networks for the collaboration of large communities * Modeling social behavior * Novel techniques for mining big data from social media * Dynamics and evolution patterns of social networks Ubiquitous and Social Mining * Personalization and recommendation * User models and predicting user behavior * User profiling in ubiquitous and social environments * Network analysis of social systems * Discovering social structures and communities * Mobility mining * Link prediction * Analysis of data from crowd-sourcing approaches Applications: * Discovering misuse and fraud * Usage and presentation interfaces for mining and data collection * Analysis of social and ubiquitous games * Privacy challenges in ubiquitous and social applications * Recommenders in ubiquitous and social environments * Applications of any of the above methods and technologies We also encourage submissions which relate research results from other areas to the workshop topics.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education CALL FOR PAPERS Special issue Datum: Mon, 11 May 2015 11:07:11 -0500 Von: Sean B. Eom <sbeom(a)semo.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): "special issue":; Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education CALL FOR PAPERS Special issue on 'Identifying and Managing Critical Success Factors of Online Education' Guest Editors Sean Eom, College of Business, Southeast Missouri State University Nicholas J. Ashill, College of Business, American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates J. B. (Ben) Arbaugh, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Motivation and Background We are entering a golden age of e-learning. E-learning could be at a 'Tipping Point' as American's trust in the quality of e-learning grows, and the number of students who take at least one online course continues to increase. Now is the time to make e-learning more successful. The success of an e-learning system can be measured in terms of learning outcomes and learner satisfaction, two dependent constructs that have been widely accepted in the e-learning literature. Learning outcomes are measured by progress on relevant objectives set by the instructor including progress on gaining factual knowledge, learning fundamental principles, and learning to apply what is learned to improve problem solving. Learner satisfaction is measured by the degree of satisfaction with perceived outcomes of taking online courses, courses, and instructors. This special issue is dedicated to identifying and effectively managing critical success factors for e-learning that enable e-learning outcomes to equal if not surpass those of face-to-face instruction. Moreover, it seeks to draw on experience with e-learning systems to provide direction for future developments in this domain. Conceptual frameworks, qualitative research, and empirical studies in the following areas are encouraged * Review, critical analysis, and/or meta-analysis of past research to evaluate the current state of e-learning and to guide future directions for e-learning development * Conceptual frameworks for e-learning * Dimensions of e-learning systems * Human dimension * Students: Self-Motivation, Personality, Learning Styles * Instructors as Facilitators, Motivators, Moderators * Design dimension * Learning models (Objectivism, Constructivism, Collaborativism, Cognitive information processing, Socioculturalism) * Course content, structure, and infrastructure * Learning Management systems and Information technology * Technology platforms and tools * Security considerations * Collaborative meetings and discussion tools * Student-created instructional materials * Learner control and self-regulated e learning * Problem based learning * Self-directed learning * Impact of interactions on e-learning outcomes * Instructor-student * Student-student * Student-content/learning management system * Learning outcomes and learner satisfaction * Development and validation of measurement instruments http://dsjie.org/Portals/0/Users/Vijay/Content/2016%20Special%20Issue.pdf Review Process and Deadlines Manuscripts for the special issue should be submitted after the authors have carefully reviewed DSJIE's submission guidelines at http://dsjie.org/JournalMission/tabid/84/Default.aspx. Authors submitting a manuscript should indicate that it is for the special issue on 'Identifying and Managing Critical Success Factors of Online Education'. Deadlines for the special issue are as follows: June 15, 2015: Submission deadline for initial submission September 1, 2015: First-round decisions on all submitted manuscripts November 1, 2015: Submission deadline for invited revisions December 15, 2015: Final decisions For more information, please contact the editor (dsjie.editor(a)gmail.com).

The provision of a large amount of data from various sources (Internet, Social Media, Application Logs, Data Warehouses, Sensors, Mobiles, Open Data, etc.) is now emerging into the collection and processing of “Big Data”. While Big Data notion is adopted from both academic and enterprise communities, there is currently a wide gap between its potential and its realization. Variety, velocity, scale, complexity, interpretation and security problems with Big Data raise challenges at all phases of the pipeline that can extract information and knowledge from it. Thus, there is a natural interest in using these data asset to improve a variety of applications. It is very interesting to explore how the researchers utilize data-driven strategies and discover what disciplines will charge because of the advent of data. With the vast amount of data now available modern business are facing with the challenges of storage, management, analysis, privacy, visualization, security and data integration. The aim of this workshop is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for bringing together specialists from the scientific areas of Computer Engineering, Finance and Operational Research. The focus of this workshop is on current technological advances and challenges about the development of big data-driven algorithms and methods and tools. Furthermore, it would be very interesting to investigate if the use of a vast amount of data leads to more accurate models or not. Following the success of the 1st MT4BD workshop held last year in Rhodes, Greece, MT4BD 2015 aims to further promote the formation of a community around the topic and gather an increased number of researchers and practitioners. TOPICS ===================================================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following new techniques and applications relevant to the big data topic: - Big Data Analytics: Business intelligence and analytics Interactive Visualisation Technologies and Visual Analytics Personalization Semantics Knowledge representation and reasoning Data mining Human Collaboration (crowdsourcing) - Tools and Applications: E-commerce E-learning Smart Health and Wellbeing Smart Cities Ontologies for Big Data Sensors Networks Industrial Automation Systems Biology and Bioinformatics Geoinformatics Financial Forecasting and Trading Security - Big Data Architectures and Frameworks: Cloud computing Grid computing Linked Data Data storage and processing frameworks Security and privacy Keynote Speech ===================================================== A special key-note speech entitled “How to Use Large Computers to Process Really Big Sequences and Graphs” by Prof. Panos Kalnis (KAUST) will be held in the framework of MT4BD-2015.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Final Call for Papers: Algorithms & Theories for the Analysis of Event Data (ATAED'2015)
by Gustaf Neumann 11 May '15

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final Call for Papers: Algorithms & Theories for the Analysis of Event Data (ATAED'2015) Datum: Sat, 9 May 2015 17:34:22 +0000 Von: Aalst, W.M.P. van der <W.M.P.v.d.Aalst(a)tue.nl> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> We received several requests for a deadline extension of the ATAED'2015 workshop in Brussels. The new deadline for full papers (up to 15 pages) and for short papers (up to 5 pages) is May 17, 2015. ===================================================================== Algorithms & Theories for the Analysis of Event Data (ATAED'2015) Brussels, Belgium, June 22-23, 2015 Deadline for papers: May 17, 2015 The workshop Algorithms & Theories for the Analysis of Event Data (ATAED'2015) is a satellite event of both the 36th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency (Petri nets 2015) and the 14th International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD 2015). The workshop aims to attract papers related to Process Mining, Region Theory and other synthesis techniques. These techniques have in common that "lower level" behavioral descriptions (event logs, partial orders, transition systems, etc.) are used to create "higher level" process models (e.g., various classes of Petri nets, BPMN, or UML activity diagrams). Recent developments in process mining make it possible to analyze event data, thereby focusing on behavior rather than correlations and simplistic performance indicators. For example, event logs can be used to automatically learn end-to-end process models based on historic event data. Next to the automated discovery of the real underlying process, there are process mining techniques to analyze bottlenecks, to uncover hidden inefficiencies, to check compliance, to explain deviations, to predict performance, and to guide users towards "better" processes. ATAED'2015 solicits papers related to process mining algorithms and theories. However, the scope is not limited to this. On the one hand, other types of "lower level" behavioral descriptions may be used (next to event logs), e.g., transition systems, partially ordered runs, sequence charts, and Markov chains. On the other hand, also related problems (next to process mining) may be addressed, e.g., hardware synthesis, visualization of concurrent system behavior, synthesis of controllers, analysis of biological (membrane) systems, etc. These are all within the scope. The idea is always the same: Going from "lower level" behavioral descriptions to "higher level" process models. The program committee invites submission of full papers (up to 15 pages) and of short papers (up to 5 pages). Papers should be submitted as pdf-files using the Springer LNCS-format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Papers need to be submitted via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ataed2015. Topics: · Possible topics of the solicited papers are: · theory and applications of process mining · automated business process model discovery · conformance checking, alignments, and replay algorithms · extensions and applications of region theory in different fields · business process intelligence and other data-driven process oriented approaches · techniques combining formal methods with data science approaches · algorithms, theories, and tools for region theory and other forms of synthesis · case studies and empirical investigations using event data Important Dates: · Deadline for papers: May 10th, 2015 May 17, 2015 · Notification of paper acceptance: June 1st, 2015 June 4, 2015 · Deadline for final contributions: June 10, 2015 June 14, 2015 · Workshop: June 22-23, 2015 Program Committee: · Wil van der Aalst,TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands (co-chair) · Rafael Accorsi, Universitaet Freiburg, Germany · Eric Badouel, INRIA Rennes, France · Robin Bergenthum, FernUni Hagen, Germany (co-chair) · Luca Bernardinello, Università degli studi di Milano-Bicocca, Italy · Seppe vanden Broucke, KU Leuven, Belgium · Benoît Caillaud, INRIA Rennes, France · Toon Calders, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium · Josep Carmona, UPC Barcelona, Spain (co-chair) · Paolo Ceravolo, University of Milan, Italy · Benoît Depaire, Hasselt University, Belgium · Jörg Desel, FernUni Hagen, Germany · Boudewijn van Dongen, TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands · Luciano García-Bañuelos, University of Tartu, Estonia · Luís Gomes, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal · Gabriel Juhás, Slovak University of Technology, Slovak Republic · Anna Kalenkova, Higher School of Economics NRU, Russia · Jetty Kleijn, Leiden University, The Netherlands · Robert Lorenz, Uni Augsburg, Germany · Zbigniew Paszkiewicz, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Belgium · Marta Pietkiewicz-Koutny, Newcastle University, GB · Grzegorz Rozenberg, Leiden University, The Netherlands · Marcos Sepúlveda, Universidad Catolica de Chile, Chile · Jianmin Wang, Tsinghua University, China · Jochen De Weerdt, KU Leuven, Belgium · Alex Yakovlev, Newcastle University, GB History of the workshop: The workshop can be viewed as a succession of the Applications of Region Theory (ART) workshop series: * Applications of Region Theory (ART) 2013, Barcelona, Spain * Applications of Region Theory (ART) 2011, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK * Applications of Region Theory (ART) 2010, Braga, Portugal Regions have been defined about 20 years ago by Ehrenfeucht and Rozenberg as sets of nodes of a finite transition system that correspond to potential conditions that enable or disable transition occurrences in a corresponding elementary net system. Initially, region theory focused on synthesis approaches where the transition system and resulting Petri net are equivalent (e.g., bisimilar). In recent years, various forms of region-based ideas (language-based and state-based variants) have been applied in the context of process mining. Here, there is only example behavior and, as a result, classical techniques fail to work. One needs to deal with new problems such as noise and incompleteness. Hence, there are many theoretical challenges with a high practical relevance. This workshop is not limited to region-based approaches. In fact all techniques that aim at learning or checking concurrent behavior from transition systems, runs, or event logs are welcome.

The conference programme will include workshops, special sessions and tutorials, along with prominent keynote speakers and regular paper presentations in parallel tracks. Proceedings are expected to be published by the Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, which is now indexed by ISI Proceedings, DBLP. Ulrich's, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Zentralblatt Math, MetaPress, Springerlink Proceedings will be made available during the conference. Social networks provide a powerful abstraction of the structure and dynamics of diverse kinds of people or people-to-technology interaction. These social network systems are usually characterized by the complex network structures and rich accompanying contextual information. Recent trends also indicate the usage of complex network as a key feature for next generation usage and exploitation of the Web. This international conference on Computational Aspect of Networks is focused on the foundations of social networks as well as case studies, empirical, and other methodological works related to the computational tools for the automatic discovery of Web-based social networks. This conference provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the ethological approach to social behavior in animals (including the study of animal tracks and learning by members of the same species) with web-based evidence of social interaction, perceptual learning, information granulation, the behavior of humans and affinities between web-based social networks. The main topics cover the design and use of various computational intelligence tools and software, simulations of social networks, representation and analysis of social networks, use of semantic networks in the design and community-based research issues such as knowledge discovery, privacy and protection, and visualization. We solicit original research and technical papers not published elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application, and cover a broad set of intelligent methods, with particular emphasis on Social Network computing.

The workshop will be held on > Thursday, August 13th from 8:00am - 2:30pm at the El Conquistador Waldorf > Astoria Resort in Puerto Rico. > After reaching the milestone of tenure and promotion, mid-career > professors often themselves at a crossroads, fully responsible for > structuring the advancement of their own professional growth and wondering; > how do I find my fit and identify new goals? What is it that I want to be > known for and how do I create a personal brand that makes my work stand > apart? > Mid-career is an exciting but complex and varied time when individuals > have the freedom to explore new opportunities and define a unique career > path that is consistent with their individual interests and talents; > however, the potential of mid-career can be squandered if individuals fail > to identify meaningful goals and growth opportunities in order to find > their fit. Many post-tenure individuals who reach this crossroads find a > lack of institutional support and a formal mentorship structure > post-tenure, the AMCIS 2015 Mid-Career Workshop is designed with this in > mind. This mid-career workshop is specifically for those that have reached > tenure and/or promotion to associate professor and are now wondering how > best to define new career goals, find their fit, and create a personal > brand to convey what they want to be known for, set them apart, and > facilitate a lasting legacy. The facilitators and panelists are mid-career > faculty that have defined a set of unique goals for themselves and have > crafted a unique personal brand. Panelists are from a mix of > research-oriented universities and teaching-oriented universities. > The theme of this workshop is "Finding Your Fit" as a mid-career Associate > Professor. As a participant you can expect panel discussions and to join > in breakout sessions and interactive peer-to-peer discussions. For more > details, visit http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/mid-career-workshop. > Registration is only $25, but attendance is limited to the first 40 > registrants.
