-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers IFIP EGOV-ePart 2016 Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2016 17:29:04 +0000 Von: Hans J. Scholl <jscholl(a)uw.edu> An: aisworld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 15th IFIP International Conference on eGovernment (IFIP EGOV 2016) 8th IFIP International Conference on eParticipation (IFIP ePart 2016) September 5 to 8, 2016 — Guimarães, Portugal www.egov-conference.org, www.epart-conference.org ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— CALL FOR PAPERS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OVERVIEW The dual 15th IFIP Electronic Government (EGOV) and the 8th Electronic Participation (ePart) Conference 2016 will be held from Monday, September 5 to Thursday, September 8, 2016 in Guimarães, Portugal. The dual conference will be hosted by the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV, http://egov.unu.edu/) and the University of Minho (http://www.uminho.pt/en). The annual international IFIP EGOV conference is the top-2 ranked core conference in the domain of e-Government or ICT in the public sector and the public sphere. Each year, scholars from all over the globe present the most recent advancements and findings of research and innovations in e-Government, e-Governance and related fields of study. The annual international ePart conference is the top-ranked conference in the domain of electronic participation and the 5th-ranked overall conference dedicated to information technologies in the context of public administration and the public sphere. The dual conference is organized by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information systems in the public sector. Since the beginnings of EGOV in 2001 and the inauguration of ePart in 2009, the two conferences have provided important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving domain of study. The dual IFIP EGOV—ePart conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. The 2016 edition of the dual IFIP (WG 8.5) conference will continue to host five topical tracks. Two general tracks will maintain the tradition of EGOV and ePart in the way, with which former conference attendees have become familiar. In addition, three special-topics tracks are intended to expand the reach and scope of the dual IFIP WG 8.5 conference: ⎯ The General E-Government Track (EGOV LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The General eParticipation Track (ePart LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The Open Government & Open and Big Data Track (EGOV LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The Policy Modeling and Policy Informatics Track (ePart LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The Smart Governance, Smart Government, & Smart Cities Track (EGOV LNCS Proceedings) Although the five tracks overlap in certain areas, they cover and emphasize distinct areas of research and appeal to specific and important sub-communities within the overall EGOV—ePart scholarly community.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Workshop Evolutionary Computation in Computational Structural Biology at GECCO 2016 Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:27:34 +0100 (CET) Von: José Santos Reyes <santos(a)udc.es> An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Workshop Evolutionary Computation in Computational Structural Biology at GECCO 2016 http://eccsb2016.irlab.org/ http://gecco-2016.sigevo.org/ Overview: In the last two decades, many computer scientists in Artificial Intelligence have made significant contributions to modeling biological systems as a means of understanding the molecular basis of mechanisms in the healthy and diseased cell. In particular, the field of computational structural biology is now highly populated by researchers in evolutionary computation. Great progress is being made by these researchers on novel and powerful algorithms to solve exceptionally challenging computational structural biology problems at the heart of molecular biology, such as structure prediction, analysis, and design of biological macromolecules (proteins, RNA). These problems pose difficult search and optimization tasks on modular systems with vast, high-dimensional, continuous search spaces often underlined by non-linear multimodal energy surfaces. The focus of this workshop is the use of nature-inspired approaches to central problems in computational structural biology, including optimization methods under the umbrella of evolutionary computation. A particular emphasis will be on progress in the application of evolutionary computation to problems related to any aspects of protein structure modeling, characterization, and analysis. The workshop will allow for a broader focus on all structure-related problems that necessitate the design of novel evolutionary computation approaches. These may include broader structure modeling settings beyond de novo structure prediction, such as mapping of protein and peptide energy landscapes, structure analysis, design, docking, and other emerging problems in computational structural biology. One of the objectives of this workshop is to aid evolutionary computation researchers to disseminate recent findings and progress. The workshop will provide a meeting point for authors and attendants of the GECCO conference who have a current or developing interest in computational biology. We believe the workshop will additionally attract computational biology researchers that will further add to the attendance and GECCO community and possibly spur novel collaborations. We hope this workshop will stimulate the free exchange and discussion of novel ideas and results related to structure-central problems bridging computational biology and evolutionary computation. Areas of interest include (but are not restricted to): • Use of artificial life models like cellular automata or Lindenmayer systems in the modeling of biological problems. • Study and analysis of properties of biological systems like self-organization, emergent behavior or morphogenesis. • Multi-objective approaches in the modeling of computational biology problems. • Use of natural and evolutionary computation algorithms in protein structure classification and prediction (secondary and tertiary). • Mapping of protein and peptide energy landscapes. • Modeling of temporal folding of proteins. • Protein design. • Protein-ligand and protein-protein docking. • Evolutionary search strategies to assist cryo-electron microscopy and other experimental techniques in model building. Preliminary Schedule for Workshops: Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2016 Decision notification: April 19, 2016 Camera ready articles due: May 3, 2016 Organizers: José Santos, University of A Coruña (Spain) Julia Handl, University of Manchester (UK) Amarda Shehu, George Mason University (USA) -- José Santos Reyes Departamento de Computación Facultad de Informática Universidad de A Coruña tf: 981167000 Ext 1257 http://www.dc.fi.udc.es/ai/~santos/santos.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.iccsa.org For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.iccsa.org

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP (extended deadline) - ICALT 2016 - Track 2: Adaptive and Personalised Technology-Enhanced Learning Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:08:17 +0200 (EET) Von: Elvira Popescu <popescu_elvira(a)software.ucv.ro> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS The 16th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies - ICALT 2016 Austin, Texas, USA, July 25-28, 2016 http://www.ask4research.info/icalt/2016/ Track 2: Adaptive and Personalised Technology-Enhanced Learning (APTeL@ICALT2016) http://www.ask4research.info/icalt/2016/track2 * Extended paper submission deadline: February 5, 2016 Track Program Chairs ==================== Arif Altun, Hacettepe University, Turkey Gautam Biswas, Vanderbilt University, USA Chih-Ming Chen, National Chengchi University, Taiwan Chih-Hung Lai, National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan Kyparisia Papanikolaou, School of Pedagogical & Technological Education, Greece Elvira Popescu, University of Craiova, Romania (popescu_elvira(a)software.ucv.ro) [Co-ordinator] Beverly Woolf, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA Track Description and Topics of Interest ======================================== Advanced learning technologies keep transforming what people learn, how they learn it and the ways they access learning opportunities in formal and informal contexts. As the educational landscape evolves, learning gets more structured around flexible curricula that have to accommodate needs of diverse student audiences, and educational organizations are offering services for accessing courses, content, and resources through a variety of platforms, devices, and learning contexts. In this framework, adapting the educational experience to learners' preferences and needs becomes critical in order to deliver effective technology-enhanced learning. The challenge concerns providing an alternative to the "one-size-fits-all" approach, taking into consideration the individual differences between learners and the application of learning technologies in emerging learning contexts. The aim is to maximize the learner satisfaction, learning gain and efficiency of the learning process. Adaptation can take place both at individual level and group/community level; intelligent and adaptive technologies can be used to support socially-grounded online learning. APTeL@ICALT2016 will explore different dimensions of adaptation and personalization, including the learner modeling phase, the adaptation mechanisms and techniques, the design and implementation challenges, the experimental validation. A main issue will also be the impact of adaptive and personalised learning environments in real educational (formal or informal) contexts, how such environments can be integrated in the educational process in order to enhance and promote learning. "What can we adapt to?", "What can be adapted?", "How can we collect and process the relevant data?", "What is the impact of adaptation?", "How adaptive and personalised learning environments may promote learning in real contexts?", "How learners of different profiles perceive personalization?", "How can you support users develop personalized content and courses?" are some important questions that need to be addressed. Topics of interest cover various adaptivity and personalization issues in technology enhanced learning, in particular: * Personal learning environments (PLE) * Intelligent learner and group modeling * Adaptive learning methods and techniques * Adaptive collaborative learning * Personalized mobile learning applications * Adaptive educational games * Adaptivity and personalization in MOOCs * Cognitive, motivational and affective aspects for personalization * Measurement and evaluation in adaptive learning environments * Practice and experience sharing * Learning and teaching with adaptive and personalised learning environments * Personalized learning design Important Dates =============== * February 5, 2016 (23:59 GMT -10:00, Hawaii Standard Time): Submissions of papers (Full paper, Short paper, Poster) *** EXTENDED *** * March 28, 2016: Authors' Notification on the review process results * May 2, 2016: Authors' Registration Deadline * May 2, 2016: Final Camera-Ready Manuscript and IEEE Copyright Form submission * May 16, 2016: Early Bird Registration * July 25-28, 2016: ICALT2016 Conference Paper Submission ================ The ICALT 2016 Author Guidelines can be found at: http://www.ask4research.info/icalt/2016/author_guidelines _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

This has implications for all service organisations and subsequently the location of work. As the digital infrastructure (such as fast broadband) improves, there will be more opportunities for working anywhere. Working anywhere (working from home/telework/telecommuting/smart work centres/hubs) has implications for governments as they grapple with traffic congestion, urban sprawl and an aging workforce. The appropriate technology infrastructure and support is necessary to support government policies as well as workers. Management need to have the skills to manage workers across a diverse range of settings - from workers in an office to freelancers (and everything in between). The final component is the ability to provide the right level of service to the customer. How can we adopt anywhere working so that the benefits are realised and the limitations mitigated? Objective of the Book The objective of this book is to bring together the seemingly disparate areas of research relating to anywhere working so that government policy makers, managers and workers can make informed choices about adopting anywhere working to achieve competitive advantage. The objectives are to understand the most current research that informs anywhere working (telework/telecommuting) and to develop a research agenda that builds on the latest empirical research in this area. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of government, professionals and researchers working in the field of anywhere working (telework/telecommuting) in various disciplines. This book will be utilised for informing government policy e.g. flexible work policies, transport, taxation, digital infrastructure and urban development. The book will inform management on best practice management for anywhere workers and customer service. The book will inform researchers by developing a research agenda for multidisciplinary research in anywhere working. This book will provide content for course development on issues relating to anywhere working from government policy, technology, management and service quality perspectives. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Table of Contents may include four main themes: 1. Anywhere working and government policy a. flexible work policies b. taxation policies c. urban development and transport policies d. work, health and safety e. digital infrastructure policies 2. Anywhere working and technology a. Smart work centres/hubs b. working from home c. telework d. telecommuting e. communications technologies f. digital infrastructure 3. Anywhere working and Management a. job design b. individual characteristics c. management of anywhere work d. skills and capabilities of management e. aging workforce/disabilities f. productivity g. work/life balance 4. Anywhere working and Service quality a. customer service and competitive advantage b. customer service expectations c. face to face versus technology mediated interactions Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February 28, 2016, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.
