-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Extended - Algorithms Open Access Journal, Special Issue on "Humanistic Data Processing" Datum: Tue, 15 Nov 2016 14:03:23 +0200 Von: algorithms-publicity(a)image.ntua.gr Antwort an: algorithms-publicity(a)image.ntua.gr [Apologies for cross-postings] --------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------- Algorithms Special Issue on "Humanistic Data Processing" http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/data_processing **Submission Deadline: December 6, 2016 - extended** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Data processing and analysis could be described as being one of the most important, yet challenging tasks of our era. The abundant amount of available information retrieved from, or related to the areas of Humanistic Sciences poses significant challenges to the research community. The ultimate goal is two-fold: on the one hand, to extract knowledge that will aid human behavior understanding, increasing human creativity, learning, decision making, socializing and even biological processing; on the other hand, to extract and exploit the underlying semantic knowledge by incorporating it into computationally intelligent systems. The nature of humanistic data can be multimodal, semantically heterogeneous, dynamic, time and space-dependent, and highly complicated. Translating humanistic information, e.g., behavior, state of mind, artistic creation, linguistic utterance, learning and genomic information into numerical or categorical low-level data is a significant challenge on its own. New algorithms, appropriate for dealing with this type of data, need to be proposed and existing ones adapted to the individual special characteristics. This Special Issue aims to bring together interdisciplinary approaches that focus on the application of innovative as well as existing data matching, fusion and mining and knowledge discovery and management techniques (such as decision rules, decision trees, association rules, ontologies and alignments, clustering, filtering, learning, classifier systems, neural networks, support vector machines, preprocessing, post processing, feature selection, visualization techniques) to data derived from all areas of Humanistic Sciences, e.g., linguistic, historical, behavioral, psychological, artistic, musical, educational, social, etc. The Issue is devoted to the exploitation of the many facets of the above fields and will explore the current related state-of-the-art. -------------- Aim and topics -------------- Scientific areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Humanistic sciences - Data matching and fusion - Data mining - Knowledge discovery and management - Artificial intelligence - Information retrieval - Context - Social data analytics ----------------- Papers submission ----------------- Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website.

Nowadays, complex systems of all types, like Web-based systems, data centers and cloud infrastructures, social networks, peer-to-peer, mobile and wireless systems, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, real-time and embedded systems, have increasingly distributed and dynamic system architectures that provide high flexibility, however, also increase the complexity of managing end-to-end application performance. ICPE brings together researchers and industry practitioners to share and present their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of software and systems, including performance measurement, modeling, benchmark design, and run-time performance management. The focus is both on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource utilization, and (energy) efficiency, as well as on the relationship of such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, and security. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR WORK IN PROGRESS AND VISION PAPERS The goal of the work-in-progress and vision track is two-fold: - To provide the opportunity for attendees to present and discuss preliminary results from their latest work obtaining some early feedback from the community. - To provide the opportunity to present position papers on emerging hot topics in the field of performance engineering motivating new research directions. Work-in-progress papers present promising preliminary results that may not have been fully validated yet. Although full validation is not required, the work presented should be advanced enough to allow attendees to appreciate its scope and significance. Vision papers present emerging research challenges and long-term research directions on topics relevant to the performance engineering community. Submissions should clearly present the research questions and their rationale sketching possible approaches to their resolution. The goal of such papers is to motivate new research and generate debate and discussions on the latest challenges in the field of performance engineering. All contributions must be original, not published, accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the ACM Digital Library. More information can be found at https://icpe2017.spec.org/submissions/work-in-progress-and-vision-track.html. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions are made via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpe2017) and should be clearly marked in the text as "Work-In-Progress Paper" or "Vision Paper", respectively. Submissions must be in the standard ACM format for conference proceedings. Papers should not exceed 4 pages double column including figures and tables.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers EICS'17 - ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems Datum: Wed, 9 Nov 2016 09:08:21 +0000 Von: This is the AISWorld List Server <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Antwort an: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for papers ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems http://eics.acm.org/2017/ June 26-29, 2017 - Lisbon, Portugal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OVERVIEW EICS 2017 is the ninth international conference devoted to engineering usable and effective interactive computing systems. Work presented at EICS covers the full range of aspects that come into play when "engineering" interactive systems, such as innovations in the design, development, deployment, verification and validation of interactive systems. Topics of interest include a.o. the design and development of systems incorporating new interaction techniques and multimodal interaction, multi-device interaction, mobile and pervasive systems, large-scale and big data applications, deployment of interactive systems, as well as novel development methods and processes. EICS 2017 focuses on methods, techniques and tools that support designing and developing interactive systems. The Conference brings together people who study or practice the engineering of interactive systems, drawing from HCI, Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, CSCW, Ubiquitous / Pervasive Systems and Game Development communities. The conference proceedings are published by the ACM and appear in the ACM Digital Library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONFERENCE TOPICS Submissions are invited that advance the state of the art of the engineering of interactive systems. Topics include but are not limited to: * Modelling and analysis of interaction and interactive systems * processes for engineering interactive systems (e.g. design, implementation, prototyping, evaluation, verification and validation, testing) * integrating interaction design into the software development process * requirements engineering for interactive systems * specification of interactive systems (methods, principles and tools) * software architectures for interactive systems * frameworks, toolkits, and APIs for interactive systems (e.g. API usability, interaction-driven API design) * domain-specific languages for interactive systems * formal methods within interactive systems engineering * modelling and analysis of users’ activities * engineering innovative interactive applications (e.g., adaptive, multimodal, tangible) * engineering hardware/software integration in interactive systems (e.g. fabrication and maker processes, physical computing etc.) * engineering user experience (e.g., fun, affective) * engineering complex interactive systems (e.g., large datasets, large communities, enterprise systems, collaborative systems) * certification issues of interactive systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS **Full Papers** present original and mature research work. High-quality, elaborated case studies and practice reports with generalizable findings will be considered too. Full papers should be about 10 pages of contents, anonymized, with additional pages of references. There is no limit on the number of pages of references. Full paper submissions will be reviewed by a senior PC member and three PC members. When the reviews are available, authors have to chance to provide a rebuttal with clarifications and answers on the reviewer comments. Rebuttals and reviews will be discussed at a live PC meeting. Authors will receive one of three possible decisions: reject, accept with minor modifications or second iteration with shepherding. The latter will get active guidance by a senior PC member and include submission of a revised version of the paper. **Late-Breaking Results and Demonstrations Papers** (6 pages) describe preliminary results, ongoing work or demonstrate innovative approaches or systems that presents new ideas and concepts. Demonstrations will be published and will get stage time. For both LBR and demonstrations we expect submissions of no more than 6 pages in total. Demonstrations are not product demonstrations, but rather an opportunity to highlight, explain, and present interesting technical aspects of (prototype) applications and environments. Demonstrations will be reviewed and published at the same level as LBR proceedings. Demonstration papers should include a description of the demo and preferably a walk-through section guiding the reader. For demonstrations, we strongly encourage submitting a video and additional material allowing first-hand experience of the proposed technique, application or environment, e.g. a Java or HTML5 demonstrator, or one hosted on the SHARE platform. **Workshop proposals** should include: a description of the workshop aims and goals, the format of the workshop and the target audience (2 pages), accompanied by a free-form description of the organizers and their background as well as operational requirements and a short description of how contributions will be solicited (max 2 additional pages). Workshops can be half-day or full-day. Only workshops with at least six participants paying the associated fee by the early registration deadline will take place at the conference. Workshops will get the opportunity to present the work they cover and results as posters at the main conference to maximize their impact (meaning workshop participants have the possibility to create a poster and present it as part of the main conference). Workshop proposals will be curated by the workshop and tutorial chairs. **Tutorial proposals** should address a topic that is of interest for a larger audience and that meets an identifiable educational need within the scope of the EICS themes. Tutorials will be integrated within the main conference programme and are therefore available to all conference participants. A tutorial will typically take up one session of the programme (ninety minutes) though exceptionally we would consider a half day format. Tutorial submissions should comprise a 2-page description of the goals, the target audience and curriculum of the tutorial in ACM SIGCHI format. Additionally, a free-form description of the author(s) background as well as prior experience in presenting the material and sample tutorial notes should be submitted. The final tutorial notes will be included in the conference materials. The **Doctoral Consortium (DC)** provides an opportunity for PhD students to present their research goals as well as intermediate results and to discuss them with leading experts in the field as well as with peers. Authors of accepted submissions will have their registration fee waived. Students will receive feedback on the quality of their presentation and on the proposed research itself. Students can be in intermediate or advanced stages of their research, but should not have completed their work yet, and should thus still be able to take feedback from the Consortium into account. The submission consists of a short paper (max 4 pages ACM Extended Abstract Format), and should be accompanied by a free-form CV of the PhD candidate. Accepted submissions will be distributed to all participants and to the members of the panel to allow them to prepare for a fruitful discussion during the DC session. Authors will be invited to present a poster and give a short talk about their PhD research during the main EICS conference. Additional information about how to prepare for the DC will be provided following acceptance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES Full Papers Abstracts due: January 9, 2017 Paper submissions: January 16, 2017 Review notification: February 27, 2017 Rebuttals due: March 6, 2017 Notification (reject/conditional accept): March 20, 2017 Paper re-submissions: April 24, 2017 Final Decisions: May 8, 2017 Workshops (for organizers) and Tutorials Submissions: January 27, 2017 Notification: February 10, 2017 Late-Breaking Results and Demonstrations Submissions: April 12, 2017 Notification: May 10, 2017 Doctoral Consortium Submissions: April 17, 2017 Notification: May 08, 2017 Further information on the web site: http://eics.acm.org/2017 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PS.

On the other hand, a change to a buyer's market as well as high competitive pressure on standard services has been observed for years. In order to remain strong in the market, consultancies need to critically evaluate their own business model as well as the way they provide their consulting services. The digitization of consulting processes and services can be an innovative strategy for securing the success of the company and supplement the classical consulting portfolio with new, technology-based services.By rethinking the delivery process of consulting itself consultancies can reshape the interaction with the client and reach new groups of clients. Using state-of-the-art technology enables consulting providers to deliver customized solutions anytime and anywhere while the individual work load of every consultant can be optimized. The downside of such virtualized services is the reduced direct interaction of clients and consultants and thus the risk of a weaker client-consultant-relationship. Digital transformation in the consulting industry is a complex processthat will substantially reshape the interaction with the client and change the traditional roles of the actors. This requires a high degree of creativity and strategic thinking that reaches far beyond the pure 1:1 transfer of conventional consulting processes into the virtual world. This book will offer orientation and advice to anyone concerned with the digital transformation of consulting. *Topics of Contributions:* Basically all topics related to the general theme of the book are acceptable. Examples include, but are not limited to the following issues: *Extending the traditional delivery model of consulting beyond people business – ways and means of virtualizing consulting services and processes *Chances/Benefits and Risks/Disadvantages of digital business model innovations in consulting *The customer view on digital consulting *Security issues in digital consulting services *Fully automated consulting solutions *Differences in digitization strategies relating either to the consulting field (strategy, organization, IT, HR) or the consulting approach (assessments, expert consulting, coaching etc.) *Comparing the situation in different countries and consulting markets *The status quo of the digital transformation in the various consulting fields *Assessing the virtualization potential of consulting services and processes *Organizing the digital transformation of consulting services *Integrating digital consulting services with a classical consulting portfolio *Examples of digital consulting services, methods, tools and other artifacts *Digitization in closely related fields, such as legal consulting, assurance and auditing, or wealth management – what can we learn here for business consulting? *Comparisons between digitization in knowledge-intensive professional services and other branches of industry *How digitization will influence the consulting market *Relation between digitization and outsourcing in consulting *Digitization and Inhouse-Consulting *Underlying principles and technologies of digital consulting services, such as modularization, standardization, knowledge modelling, automated and case-based reasoning, mobile applications, cloud, big data, IoT, social networks etc. *What consulting might looklike in the future Empirical as well as design-oriented research is welcome. *Types of Contributions:* Two types of contributions with a different focus are welcome: ·Scientific research papers should have approx. 15 – 20 pages. They must include a clear research question related to the theme of the book, outline the research methodology and discuss the results at an academic level. ·Application-oriented papers should have approx. 8 – 12 pages. They must describe the design, implementation and practical results of sample applications, demonstrating the relevance of digitization in the context of consulting services. All contributions must be in English language. A Word-template will be provided to prospective authors after 5. Dec. 2016. Original research is preferred. However, as the book intends to collect state-of-the-art contributions on the digital transformation in consulting, submissions may have been published before. In this case, they must be substantially revised in order to avoid a copyright infringement. The copyright will have to be transferred to Springer by the corresponding author of each contribution. *Schedule for Contributors:* *Prospective authors should send an Extended Abstract of 2 – 4 pages to the editor until _5. Dec. 2016_. The abstract must clearly communicate the core contribution of the intended paper and the methodology used to reach the results. If a full paper is available at this stage, please send the full paper instead of an abstract. All submissions then undergo an editorial review process, based on thematic conformity with the general theme of the book, originality and quality. *Authors of contributions not suitable for the book will be informed on 19. Dec. 2016 at the latest. All other submissions are conditionally accepted, provided a full paper according to academic standards is submitted until _12. Feb. 2017_. Two types of contributions are possible: scientific research papers and application-oriented papers (see above). *Information about final acceptance/rejection of papers or required revisions will be sent out until 6. March 2017. *Final versions of papers are due on _3. April 2017_. Please feel free to forward this CfP to interested colleagues.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: ISeB Special Issue on Sharing Economy and On-Demand Service Business Models Datum: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 13:06:35 +0000 Von: Alanah Mitchell <alanah.mitchell(a)drake.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND E-BUSINESS MANAGEMENT Editors-in-Chief: J. Becker; M.J. Shaw ***** Special Issue Call for Papers on Sharing Economy and On-Demand Service Business Models ***** Special Issue Guest Editors: Alanah Mitchell and Troy J. Strader Deadline for Submissions: February 1, 2017 OBJECTIVE On-demand services provide a link between organizations/individuals with excess capacity and the consumers who need the service. Some of the most popular examples include Uber (transportation sharing), Airbnb (housing sharing), and Wework (office sharing). There has been dramatic growth in on-demand services over the past few years, but there is a limited amount of research investigating the range of behavioral, strategic and technical issues that explain the success, failure, and impact these services will have on existing industries and the overall economy. The purpose of this special issue is to investigate the breadth of issues that impact the success, failure, and future directions for on-demand service firms and the sharing economy. The intent is to address research issues related to these services to better understand the underlying behavioral, strategic, and technical issues from the perspectives of the users, service providers, and society. Of particular interest is studies that are multidisciplinary incorporating two or more of the following research areas – information systems, electronic commerce, business functions (marketing, finance, human resources, business law, etc.), information technology and related social sciences (economics, sociology, psychology, ethics). Studies can utilize any methodology to address these important and timely research issues. TOPICS The objective for this special issue is to present a comprehensive set of articles addressing research issues for on-demand service consumers, service providers, and the overall sharing economy. Topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following: • On-demand service consumer behavior • On-demand service provider growth strategies • Revenue models and financing sources • Factors impacting on-demand service success/failure • Factors impacting start-ups and growth for on-demand service firms • On-demand service marketing, advertising, and promotion • Social media strategies for on-demand services • On-demand service trust and ethical issues • Human resource management for on-demand services • On-demand service technology infrastructure • On-demand service payment systems • Sharing economy industry competition, entry barriers, and substitution • Sharing economy diffusion patterns • Network externalities and the sharing economy TENTATIVE SCHEDULE Authors have the option (not required) to submit an extended abstract if they are uncertain about whether their study fits this special issue. Extended abstracts may be submitted before the initial submission deadline to the special issue co-editors at: alanah.mitchell(a)drake.edu<mailto:alanah.mitchell@drake.edu> or troy.strader(a)drake.edu<mailto:troy.strader@drake.edu> Submission of full papers: February 1, 2017 Notification of initial decisions: April 12, 2017 Submission of revised papers: May 22, 2017 Notification of final decisions: June 28, 2017 Estimated publication date: TBD SUBMISSION PROCEDURE The full paper version shall follow the Journal author’s guidelines and will be submitted to the to the journal website (http://www.editorialmanager.com/iseb/) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
