CALL FOR PAPERS
============================
Workshop on Intelligent Interfaces for Ubiquitous and Smart Learning -
*SmartLearn 2017* (http://smartlearn.dibris.unige.it/)
in conjunction with the 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent
User Interfaces - IUI 2017 (http://iui.acm.org/2017/), March 13-16,

DESCRIPTION
------------
New technologies are changing the way we learn and teach. Emerging
technologies such as social semantic web, cloud computing, and the
growing popularity of mobile devices, embedded devices and adaptive
context-aware technologies are leading to a paradigm shift in the way
educational services are provided towards a “smart learning”. Mobile and
smart learning environments allow for accessing and interacting with
digital resources in learning systems anytime and anywhere with
intelligent, adaptive and appropriate guidance, support, suggestions and
customizations.
Through technologies and approaches such as ubiquitous learning and
adaptive learning, learning becomes adaptable, personalized, flexible,
and suitable to meet diverse and rapidly changing technologies,
environments and learner needs, while opening unprecedented
possibilities for education. The “Intelligent Interfaces for Ubiquitous
and Smart Learning” workshop aims to bring together researchers from
industry and academia to address the challenges of the intelligent user
interfaces and smart learning fields, discuss new ideas and present
their research to the scientific community in order to enhance the
methodologies and techniques for intelligent learning environments for
the 21st century.

-------
We invite submissions that may include the following topics, but are not
limited to:
- intelligent user interfaces for learning
- ubiquitous learning
- adaptive learning
- mobile learning
- social learning
- smart learning
- learning on demand
- continuous learning
- semantic LMS services
- learning as a service
- cloud learning environments
- technology-enhanced learning in developing countries
- design and experiments of intelligent user interfaces for education
- discovering relations
- exploiting analytics of educational open data
- linked-data enhanced learning
- semantically-enhanced cloud services
REGISTRATION

************************************************************************************
12th International Forum on Knowledge Asset Dynamics IFKAD 2017
Knowledge Management in the 21st Century: Resilience, Creativity and Co-creation
St. Petersburg, Russia | 7-9 June 2017
***************************************************************************************
Special Track : Resilient SMEs in turbulent times -Implications for
Knowledge management and organizational learning
Organizers:
Klaus North | Wiesbaden Business School, Germany Susanne Durst |
University of Skövde, Sweden Isabel Ramos | University of Minho,
Portugal
Gregorio Varvakis | Federal University of Santa Caterina, Brazil
Stefan Güldenberg | University of Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein
Description:
To sustain competitiveness in turbulent environments SMEs face major
challenges due to their limited human, organizational and financial
resources and capabilities. On the other hand, family-like structures
and informal decision-making enable adaptation to turbulent
environments. Therefore, SMEs need to develop resilience to withstand
current crises and agility to exploit and explore opportunities
provided by changes in the business environment. The track will
explore the specific challenges of and possible solutions to
resilience of SMEs. We invite theoretical papers, cases and pragmatic
approaches from practice.
Contributions are invited to address - amongst others - the following questions:
• What makes SMEs resilient?
• What is the interrelation of resilience, agility, and
dynamic capabilities of SMEs?
• Which competitive strategies contribute to resilience?
• How to measure resilience or vulnerability of SMEs?
• How can knowledge management practices and
organizational learning contribute to resilience?
• How can collaboration and networks enhance resilience of SMEs?
Guidelines:
Researchers wishing to contribute are invited to submit an extended
structured abstract (in MS-Word format) of 500-700 words by January
15, 2017. The abstract should address theoretical background,
research objective, methodology, and results in terms of expected
contribution to Knowledge Management theory and practice. Authors are
encouraged to follow the guidelines for both extended abstracts as
well as full papers available on IFKAD site www.ifkad.orgwww.ifkad.org
Important dates:
• 15 January 2017 - Abstracts Submission Deadline
• 20 February 2017 - Acceptance notification to authors
• 15 March 2017 - Early-Bird registration deadline
• 10 April 2017 - Full paper submission deadline

My apologies for cross posting.

Commerce (JOCEC):
Special Issue on “*Social Computing and Service Innovation*”:

*Aims and Objectives*
Service innovation is defined as the exchange and application of
competences (knowledge and skills) to create novel resources that are
beneficial to some actors inside and/or outside of organizations (Lusch and
Nambisan 2015). Unlike the past, when service innovations were
predominantly developed from within the confines of an organization,
nowadays they can emerge from the interactions within a network of actors
ranging from suppliers and partners to customers and independent inventors.
This evolution in service innovation development can be mainly ascribed to
the advent and proliferation of social computing technologies (Kanter,
2015; Tsou & Chen, 2012). Social computing technologies refer to the
IT-enabled social applications and services such as online communities,
blogging services, chat applications, and social media services that
facilitate collaborations within a network of actors through exchange of
experiences and specialized competences and evolution of aggregate
knowledge (Parameswaran and Whinston 2007). Social computing technologies
have enabled organizations to unprecedentedly interact and collaborate with
external actors such as customers and business partners to improve their
processes, operations, and value propositions (Tsou & Chen, 2012). Although
social computing technologies are giving rise to new forms of service
innovations, their implications for service innovations have yet to be
fully elucidated in the research findings.
Thus, the theme of this special issue highlights the need for
conceptualization and empirical study of the implications of social
computing technologies for service innovation. For this special issue, we
call for high quality research studies from academia, industry,
governments, and non-profits, especially collaborations among these groups,
to address tensions and/or synergies that may arise between social
computing and service innovation. We welcome examination of these synergies
and/or tensions at the societal, organizational, group/team, and individual
levels of analysis. We solicit case studies, surveys, experiments,
qualitative research, and collaborative action research among academics,
executives, and policy makers that illustrate innovative approaches,
resolutions, and solutions to these tensions, risks, and opportunities. We
especially seek papers that offer theoretical models combined with
evidences of the consequences or findings of observations related to these
models. The papers included in this special issue could include, but not
limited, to the following areas:
- Positivist, interpretive, and critical studies of the use of social
computing applications in support of service innovation
- Impacts of social computing on service innovation
- Affordances of social computing technologies for service innovation
- Implications of social computing in organizational IS value research
- New theories in social computing and service innovation
- Opportunities and challenges of service innovation in the social
computing context
- Design and evaluation methodologies for social computing technologies
in support of service innovation
- Ethical and legal issues of social computing for service innovation
- Service innovation using virtual 3D social environments
- Implications of social computing for value co-creation
*Timeline for the Special Issue:*
- November 15, 2016 <http://airmail.calendar/2016-11-15%2012:00:00%20CST> –
full paper submission deadline for JOCEC Special Issue review process.
- March 15, 2017 <http://airmail.calendar/2017-03-15%2012:00:00%20CDT> –
notification of acceptance

final versions of accepted papers will be submitted for publication
process, with the special issue targeted for publication in a late
2017/early 2018 issue.
