Please forward it to interested candidates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth International Workshop on Information Systems Security Engineering - WISSE'16 http:// gsya.esi.uclm.es/WISSE2016 In conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'16) Ljubljana, Slovenia, 13 - 17 June 2016 http://caise2016.si/ Important Dates Regular Research and Experience Paper Submission: February 12, 2016 Authors Notification: March 16, 2016 Camera Ready Submission: March 23, 2016 Workshop Date: June 13, 2016 WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Information systems security problems are currently a widespread and growing concern that covers most of the areas of society, such as business, domestic, financial, government, healthcare, and so on. The scientific community has realized the importance of aligning information systems engineering and security engineering in order to develop more secure information systems. Nevertheless, there is lack of an appropriate event that will promote information systems security within the context of information systems engineering. The proposed workshop fulfils this gap. The workshop following the main conference theme aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present, discuss and debate on one hand the latest research work on methods, models, practices and tools for secure information systems engineering, and on the other hand relevant industrial applications, recurring challenges, problems and industrial led solutions at the area of secure information systems engineering taking under consideration the socio-technical aspects of the modern Information Systems. TOPICS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO) * Security and privacy analysis methods and models * Security and privacy design methods and models * Security and privacy testing methods and models * Security and privacy modelling Support Tools * Integrating functional, security and privacy requirements * Threat-driven and Model-driven security * Secure IS interoperability modelling * Security and process modelling * Modelling Security and Trust * Managing Secure Software development * Security in Agile Software Development Methods * Methodologies and models for evaluating IS security and privacy aspects * Formal methods for modelling security * Models and approaches for the verification of security and privacy properties * Approaches for managing security changes in IS * Component-based, Aspect-oriented, Agent-based, Pattern-based, agile-based Information system Security development and evolution methods * Methods, models and tools for workflow and Business Process Security * Case studies in modelling secure IS * Security Architectures and Patterns for Information Systems * Semantic Web Technologies applied to Security * Ontologies for IS security * Security Engineering for specific Information Systems (e-Services, databases, mobile, internet, social networks, cloud, etc.) * Security Engineering for SOA Systems * Methods for security reengineering * Software Security Knowledge * Enterprise Software Security * Cloud Forensics Requirements and Tools * Methods, models and techniques for data anonymization * Open Data and security * Security and product lines * Security of externalized IS SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Types of contributions We invite two types of original and scientific papers: * Regular Research Papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of secure information systems engineering. A regular research paper should describe the context of the work, the problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the benefits of the contribution. * Experience papers present application of work to case studies and industrial practice. Such papers should provide a detail description of the application setting, describe lessons learned, and discuss best practice. Submission Conditions Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics of the workshop. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Only papers in English will be accepted. The length of papers (regular research papers and experience papers) should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices.). Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. Manuscripts must comply with the Springer LNCS formatting rules. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found at http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 12 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the workshop will be rejected without review. Papers should be submitted in PDF format, through EasyChair at the following page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wisse16 REGISTRATION For each accepted submission, at least one author is expected to register for the workshop and attend the workshop in order to present the paper. Registration is through the CAiSE'16 web site. WORKSHOP STRUCTURE The workshop will combine paper presentations and a keynote. Moreover, accepted papers apart from presentation time, will be assigned with one or two discussants with responsibility to initiate the discussion on the paper. We are confident that such structure will support a workshop environment that will be based on discussion, debate and will therefore provide an important contribution to the relevant research community.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: 6th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference - Madeira Island - Portugal (EEWC 2016) Datum: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 19:05:15 +0000 Von: David Aveiro <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org email_cfp **Call for papers** **6th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2016) ** May 30 - June 3, 2016 - Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal Experience the benefits of a Working Conference, an Industry Track and a Doctoral Consortium, in the Portuguese paradise known as the Pearl of the Atlantic and winner of World Travel Awards <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CDhoGAx1SDQ> of World's Leading Island Destination 2015 <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LDxoGAx1SDQ> and Europe’s Leading Island Destination of 2014 <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LAhoGAx1SDQ> . Come and visit us on a venue with breath taking views <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CDxoGAx1SDQ> , providing inspiration and conditions for an interesting program with significant scientific advancement. The EEWC 2016 will be the sixth working conference addressing the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering, having as goal to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions on the issues put forward in the next sections of this Call for Papers. Proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBBoGAx1SDQ> (LNBIP). Please distribute this Call for Papers among your colleagues, and/or e-mail lists you belong to, that may be possibly interested in this conference. **Motivation** Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in manifold alliances. However, many strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. One of the identified reasons for such failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences, and as implemented by traditional programs in business schools. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is insufficient for bringing about changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. We believe these responsibilities can be borne in a much more effective way if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the enterprise given by a sound engineering approach put forward by a full-fledged scientific discipline. **Mission** The CIAO! Enterprise Engineering Network (CEEN) is a community of academics and practitioners who strive to contribute to the development of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering (EE), and to apply it in practice. The aim is to develop a holistic and general systems theory based understanding on how to (re)design and run enterprises effectively. The ambition is to develop a consistent and coherent set of theories, models and associated methods that: enable enterprises to reflect, in a systematic way, on how to realize improvements; and assist them, in practice, in achieving their aspirations. In doing so, sound empirical and scientific foundations should underlie all efforts and all organisational aspects that are relevant should be considered, while combining already existing knowledge from the scientific fields of information systems, software engineering, management, as well as philosophy, semiotics and sociology, among others. In other words, the (re)design of an enterprise and the subsequent implementation of changes should be the consequence of rationalised decisions that: take in account the nature and reality of the enterprise and its environment; and respect relevant empirical and scientific principles. Enterprises are taken to be systems whose reality has a dual nature by being simultaneously, on one hand, centrally and purposefully (re)designed; and, on the other hand, emergent in a distributed way, given the fact that, its main agents, the humans that are the ‘pearls’ of the organization, act with free will, in a creative and in a responsible (or sometimes not) way. We acknowledge that, in practice, the development of enterprises is not always a purely rational/evidence-based process. As such, we believe the field of EE aims to provide evidence-based insights into the design and evolution of enterprises and the consequences of different choices irrespective of the way decisions are made. The origin of the scientific foundations of our present body of knowledge is the CIAO! Paradigm (Communication, Information, Action, Organisation) as expressed in the Enterprise Engineering Manifesto <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBRoGAx1SDQ> and the paper: The Discipline of Enterprise Engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LAxoGAx1SDQ> . In this paradigm, organisation is considered to emerge in human communication, through the intermediate roles of information and action. Based on the CIAO! Paradigm, several theories have been developed, and still are being proposed. They are published as technical reports <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LABoGAx1SDQ> . The CEEN welcomes proposals of improvements to our current body of knowledge, as well as the inclusion of compliant and alternative views, always keeping in mind the need to maintain global systemic coherence, consistency and scientific rigour of the entire EE body of knowledge, as a prerequisite for the consolidation of this new engineering discipline. Yearly events <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0LARoGAx1SDQ> like the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference and associated Doctoral Consortium are organized to promote the presentation of EE research and application in practice, as well as discussions on the contents and current state of our body of theories and methods. **Topics** Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not limited to: Business Process Management Business Process Modeling and Simulation Business Rules Business Rules Management Collaborative, Participatory, and Interactive Modeling Component-Based System Development Domain Ontologies Domain Reference Ontologies Enterprise Architecture Enterprise Design and Implementation Enterprise Governance Enterprise Modeling and Simulation Enterprise Ontology Information System Architectures Information System Ontologies Information Systems Design Information Systems Development Modeling (cross-enterprise) Business Processes Ontology Implementation Reference Models for (cross-enterprise) Business Processes Service Oriented Architecture Service Oriented Design **Publication** The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series: “Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBBoGAx1SDQ> “. **Submission** We are looking for papers on current or recently finished research initiatives/projects as well as papers from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous working conferences, the 6th EEWC is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following the paper presentations. Namely, a 40 minutes slot is normally reserved for each paper. Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for book chapters: Managing the Web of Things: Linking the Real World to the Web (Morgan Kaufmann)
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Jan '16

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for book chapters: Managing the Web of Things: Linking the Real World to the Web (Morgan Kaufmann) Datum: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 11:35:07 +1030 Von: Michael Sheng <qsheng(a)cs.adelaide.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS http://yongruiqin.org/wotbook/ Managing the Web of Things: Linking the Real World to the Web Morgan Kaufmann, Elsevier Over the years, the World Wide Web has gone through many transformations, from traditional linking and sharing of computers and documents (i.e., "Web of Data"), to the current connection of people (i.e., "Web of People"), and to the emerging connection of billions of physical objects (i.e., "Web of Things"). WoT aims to connect everyday objects, such as coats, shoes, watches, ovens, washing machines, bikes, cars, even humans, plants, animals, and changing environments, to the Internet to enable communication/interactions between these objects. The ultimate goal of WoT is to enable computers to see, hear and sense the real world. It is predicted by Ericsson that the number of Internet-connected things will reach 50 billion by 2020. Electronic devices and systems exist around us providing different services to the people in different situations: at home, at work, in their office, or driving a car on the street. Web of Things (WoT) also enables the close relationship between human and opportunistic connection of smart things. To realize the goals of WoT and to fully exploit its potentials, building and managing the Web of Things at a global scale has created numerous challenges, as well as tremendous opportunities, to many stakeholders, including research institutions, companies, governments, international organizations, and so on. There is an urgent need to capture related technology trends, so as to guide and help all these stakeholders to actively contribute to the promising future of WoT. WoT provides an Application Layer that simplifies the creation of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications. In other words, WoT aims to enable real-world objects to be part of the World Wide Web, other than focusing on connecting them together at a global scale. This makes WoT different from IoT. Therefore, a more consolidated and holistic coverage of engineering, management and analytics that advances the fundamental understanding of the Web of Things building blocks in terms of concepts, models, languages, productivity support techniques, and tools is required. This is necessary to enable effective exploration, understanding, assessing, comparing, and selecting WoT models, languages, techniques, platforms, and tools. In addition, there is a scarcity of texts on how to manage large-scale of things over the Web. The book is intended to compile the newest developments and advances in the area of WoT. It will offer a comprehensive and systematic presentation of methodologies, technologies and applications that enable efficient and effective management of things over the Web, thereby helping academic researchers, practitioners, graduate students, and governments unveil the potentials of WoT. ***Features and Benefits: This book will focus on the most recent developments in the field of the Web of Things. The covered new advances will range from modelling, searching, data analytics, to software building, applications and social impact. Hence, this book will provide a comprehensive view of the latest developments and trends in this nascent area. From the book, the reader will be able to gain up-to-date knowledge and experience on how to manage things over the Web. This can help them accelerate their research on the Web of Things (for researchers), gain immediate experiences on building the Web of Things systems (for practitioners), and support policy and decision making (for companies and governments). In summary, the three main benefits of the book include: 1. This book will review the current trends of the Web of Things and provide an in-depth analysis on the state-of-the-art Web of Things modelling and searching technologies. The technologies on how to collect, clean, and analyze data generated by the Web of Things will also be covered. Thus, the book can represent a good reference that summarizes latest developments and technologies in the Web of Things. 2. This book will cover system design and software building principles for the Web of Things. Experiences and methods for system design and software building will also be covered. Thus, this book will be a timely guide to implementing the Web of Things systems. 3. This book will cover real-world applications and provide discussions and explorations of social impact for the Web of Things. These applications and explorations will be attractive to a wide variety of readers from practitioners and policy makers in both companies and governments. ***Target Audience: The book is intended for researchers and postgraduate students interested in the areas of the Web of Things and related computational technologies for the purpose of integrating the Web of Things approach into the real world. Academic researchers, research students, communications and network engineers, solution architects, system integrators, system managers, policy makers in government agencies are main targeted audience. ***Tentative Table of Contents: Additions to the topics listed below are also welcome! Part I: Background A historical overview of the WoT Part II: WoT Modeling and Searching Modeling techniques for the Web of Things Semantics-rich modeling of the Web of Things Ontologies and context modeling for the Web of Things Searching techniques for the Web of Things Part III: WoT Data Analytics Data collection techniques for the Web of Things Data cleaning techniques for the Web of Things Data integration techniques for the Web of Things Data analytics and knowledge discovery techniques for the Web of Things Part IV: WoT System Building System design methods and experiences for the Web of Things Software building experiences for the Web of Things Introduction to Web of Things Platforms Web 2.0 applications versus the Web of Things Prototyping and Course Projects for the Web of Things Part IV: Applications and Social Impact Real-life Web of Things Applications Social Impact of the Web of Things Future Challenges and Opportunities ***Submission Process: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their chapter proposals/abstracts (1 to 2 pages in PDF format) by the given deadline to wotbook2016(a)gmail.com. Please provide the following points in your proposals/abstracts: * Title of the contribution/chapter, * Name of author, co-authors, institution, email-address, * Content/mission of the proposed article, * How the contribution fits into the book.

ARTICLE 1 Leadership Social Power as a Component of KMS Success Vincent Scovetta (Long Island University, Brookville, NY, USA), Timothy J. Ellis (Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA) This study investigated the relationships between a leader's of Leadership Social Power (LSP) profile and Knowledge Management Systems (KMS). Previous research has established that KMS success is positively impacted by leadership commitment to KMS, knowledge quality, and knowledge use. Yet how little we know about the constructs of leadership that may impact KM. The goals of this research focused on discovering how the manner in which leaders exert power – their LSP profile – influenced each of these KM success factors. This research was able to empirically demonstrate that LSP is a factor of that success and was able to effectively predict Leadership Commitment to KMS, Knowledge Content Quality, and Knowledge Use based upon predominate manner of Leadership Social Power used by the KM leaders.

Wayne Huizenga School of Business & Entrepreneurship, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA), Arvind Gudi (H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business & Entrepreneurship, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA) It is argued that a “knowledge-as-object” metaphor is predominant within knowledge management discourse and that this metaphor underlies our conceptualization of knowledge in both an external sense and an internal sense. This dual application of the word “knowledge” within the common context of knowledge management represents a semantic pathology, a condition which leads to confused thinking and dysfunctional problem solving. The pathology has had profound effects on our understanding of knowledge management problems and the nature of the solutions that are offered. A more balanced and unbiased approach will require that both researchers and practitioners exhibit a greater awareness of the knowledge-as-object metaphor and that they fully appreciate the pervasiveness and power of the associated semantic pathology.

Manning School of Business, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada) Since the emergence of the knowledge-based view of the firm in the mid-1990, researchers have made considerable effort to untangle the complexity of how individuals create, capture and realize value from knowledge. To date, this burgeoning field has offered rich and yet diverse insights involving contextual, process and outcome factors that influence individual level knowledge transfer. Concomitantly globalization and advancing technologies have extended virtual work arrangements such as virtual teams and virtual communities on the internet and considerably extended the knowledge base upon which individuals can draw when creating, acquiring, sharing and integrating knowledge. Research on individual level knowledge transfer has also embraced these virtual environments spawning new insights. Hence the objective of this paper is to assess current state of research and identify potential avenues for future research at the intersection of these two dimensions. The authors focus specifically on knowledge transfer research at the individual level instead of the team or firm level and within virtual settings. Applying a process view of knowledge transfer, they synthesize existing findings and discuss issues surrounding the inputs, processes, and outputs.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - The Internet of Things in the Modern Business Environment Datum: Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:39:57 -0600 (CST) Von: In Lee <I-Lee(a)wiu.edu> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: February 28, 2016 The Internet of Things in the Modern Business Environment A book edited by In Lee To be published by IGI Global: Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT), also called the Internet of Everything or the Industrial Internet, is a new technology paradigm envisioned as a global network of machines and devices capable of interacting with each other. The true value of the IoT for firms can be fully realized when connected devices are able to communicate with each other and integrate with enterprise systems, cloud computing, and business analytics. The adoption of this technology is rapidly gaining momentum as technological, societal, and competitive pressures push firms to innovate and transform themselves. Because of the potential yet uncertain benefits and high investment costs of the IoT, firms need to carefully assess every IoT-induced opportunity and challenge to ensure that their resources are spent judiciously. However, there is still a paucity of studies on the social, behavioral, economic, and managerial aspects of the IoT. This makes it very challenging for firms to make informed decisions on IoT adoption and development. The book, The Internet of Things in the Modern Business Environment, will seek chapters that address different aspects of the IoT applications within business settings, ranging from monitoring, information sharing, collaboration, data analytics, and related topics. Additionally, this book will explore the impact of the IoT on business operations, business models, and competitiveness, and address managerial challenges that firms have faced. Objective of the Book This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential reference source, building on the available literature in the field of the IoT for businesses, while providing further research opportunities in this dynamic field. It is hoped that this book will provide professors, researchers, students, and professionals with cutting-edge IoT research models and management techniques integrated with a solid grounding in management theories and practices. Target Audience Researchers, professors, managers, and college students in various programs will find this book useful in furthering their exposure to pertinent topics in the IoT within business settings and undertaking their own research and management efforts in this field. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following: Contributors are welcome to submit chapters on the following topics relating to the IoT adoption, usage, and management within business settings: - Business Value of the IoT - Case Studies in the IoT - Challenges and Opportunities in the IoT - Costs, Benefits, and Risks related to the IoT Development - Data Analytics and the IoT - Data Management for the IoT Applications - Economic Analysis of the IoT - Future Trends of the IoT for Businesses - Impact of the IoT on Contemporary Business Models - IoT Asset Management - IoT for Business Applications - IoT for Information Sharing and Collaboration - IoT for Smart Manufacturing Operations - IoT for Supply Chain Management - IoT in Small and Medium-Sized Businesses - IoT Management Issues - IoT Planning - New Product Development and the Role of the IoT - Privacy in the IoT - User Acceptance of the IoT Applications Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February 28, 2016, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by March 31, 2016 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by June 30, 2016. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this book. Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference,” “Business Science Reference,” and “Engineering Science Reference” imprints.

Despite the fact that the open access movement in Education has the potential to lead a disruptive Social Innovation in teaching and learning (including assessing of learning as well as accreditation of competences and qualifications), concerns are expressed that it could also lead to deepen the digital divide between regions, states and continents. Ideally, unfolding the full potential of opening up education, anticipates not only the affordable availability and maintenance of efficient digital infrastructures, but mainly networks of people and professionals (representing the various existing key stakeholders in education, but also new ones emerged as a result of the transformations happening outside the formal educational settings) who are actively engaged in leading and supporting sustainable changes. Digital technologies are the key enabler for the anticipated social innovations in education and learning through the open access movement. Furthermore, new challenges for governments, educational institutes, non-profit organizations, the private sector, the unions of professionals in education and training, as well as, individual professionals and citizens, are shaped and fostering the scientific dialogue of different perspectives can contribute to the advancement of the public discourse in these pressing issues. This is the scope of this special issue on “the social innovation capacity of open education and learning”. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interests* ----------------------------------------------------------- Considering all the above, this special issue welcome contributions describing working hypothesis and case studies focused at least one of the following topics: • Strategies and policies for open access in education and training to contents, courses, curricula, competences, tools and physical spaces • Strategies and policies for social capital generation to support open education and learning • Sharing strategies and practices in education and learning • Open learning eco-systems and tools that support social innovation in education and training • Sustainable models of open education and training • Cultural issues and social innovation related to openness in education and learning =========================================== Submission procedure ---------------------------------------------------------- The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors are invited to submit 8-20 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).

This conference is unique in bringing these disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue. We particularly welcome contributions that seek to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. We are seeking papers and abstracts that describe original research, analysis, and practice in the field of Web Science, as well as work that discusses novel and thought-provoking ideas and works-in-progress. ------ Topics ------ Possible topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical, methodological and ethical approaches for Web Science - Web practices - individual and/or collective and/or institutional - Humanities on the Web - The architecture and philosophy of the Web - Web Science approaches to Data Science and the Web of Data - Web Science and the Internet of Things - Social machines, collective intelligence and collaborative production - Analysis of online social and information networks - Social Media analytics for Web Science - Web economics, social entrepreneurship and innovation - Web Science and Cybersecurity - Governance, democracy, intellectual property, and the commons - Personal data, trust, and privacy - Web access, literacy, and development - Knowledge, education, and scholarship on and through the Web - Health and well-being online - Arts and culture on the Web - Data curation and stewardship in Web Science - Web archiving techniques and scholarly uses of Web archives ---------- Submission ---------- Web Science 2016 is a very selective conference with a rigorous review process. To accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, we allow for three different paper submission formats: full papers, short papers, and extended abstracts. Full papers are 8-10 pages long, ACM double column. Full papers should present new and substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Full papers include an abstract, an introduction, sections and about 30 references. Full papers should be original work that has not been previously published. Short papers are 3-5 pages long, ACM double column. Short papers should present new and substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Short papers should include an abstract, an introductory paragraph and about 20 references. Short papers should be original work that has not been previously published. Extended abstracts are ~ 2 pages long, ACM double column. Extended abstracts present new research of broad significance for the WebSci community. Extended abstracts include about 10 references. Full and short papers could be assigned to any of the three presentation modes—long talk, short talk and poster. Extended abstracts will be assigned to the poster sessions. The final mode of presentation will be determined by qualities of the paper like maturity of research, strength of argument, interdisciplinary approach and impetus to spur further work. Senior chairs may decide to recommend extended abstracts of particular relevance to short talks. All types of accepted submissions will be included in the proceedings, which will be archived by the Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library. However, to accommodate publication habits of different scientific communities, we allow authors to opt out of having their contribution appear in the proceedings. We will organize a special issue of The Journal of Web Science. Authors of selected full and short papers and extended abstracts will be contacted and invited to submit a full-length journal paper for the special issue. All the papers invited to this submission will go through a peer-review process before receiving final approval. --------------- Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission 1 February 2016 Full paper submission 8 February 2016 Acceptance notification 18 March 2016 Final version 15 April 2016 ----------------- Program Co-chairs ----------------- - Paolo Parigi, Stanford University, USA - Steffen Staab, Universität Koblenz-Landau, Germany & University of Southampton, UK -------------------------- Senior Programme Committee -------------------------- - Axel Bruns, Queensland University, Brisbane, AU (Media & Communication Studies) - Coye Sheshire, UC Berkeley, US (Collaboration & Incentivization) - Tat-seng Chua, NU Singapore (Information Retrieval & Web Observatory) - Ulrike Cress, Univ.
