-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Deadline extension: International Workshop on Very Large Internet of Things @ VLDB 2017 Datum: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 11:07:14 +0200 Von: Sven Groppe <groppe(a)ifis.uni-luebeck.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Very Large Internet of Things (VLIoT 2017) In conjunction with VLDB 2017 August 28, 2017, Munich, Germany Submission: April 17, 2017 - Submission deadline has been extended! Web: http://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/vliot ******************************************************************** ** Aims of the Workshop ** An increasing number of real-world objects are becoming accessible and manageable through the Internet. According to CISCO, the number of these devices will reach 50 billion by 2020, forming a very large Internet of Things (VLIoT). This massive number of "smart" objects will cooperate with each other, have their own metadata, and may continuously produce new data (in form of events, sensor data, or actuator states). Data management will be a major challenge in the very large Internet of Things. Hence, efficient IoT infrastructure and technologies must be developed to handle masses of IoT data with high performance. This will include: new techniques to filter and store relevant data; efficient replication approaches for objects with constrained resources in order to increase availability and durability; new protocols for voting about decisions among objects; and smooth integration of heterogeneous objects. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners working in the field of IoT and to allow them to report and exchange their findings addressing these challenges. This workshop also intends to discuss other closely-related technologies such as Nanotechnology, Fog-, Edge-, and Dew-Computing for IoT. The ideas of Fog, Edge and Dew Computing may indeed solve or attenuate the problems of a very large Internet of Things (w.r.t. performance, energy-efficiency, as well as security and privacy aspects). ** Types of Papers ** The workshop welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experience. In particular, we solicit papers of different types: - Research Papers proposing new approaches, theories or techniques related to Internet of Things, including new data structures, algorithms, whole systems, and frameworks. They should make substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field. - Experiments and Analysis Papers focusing on the experimental evaluation of existing approaches including data structures and algorithms for Internet of Things and bring new insights through the analysis of these experiments. Results of experiments and analysis papers can be, for example, showing benefits of well-known approaches in new settings and environments, opening new research problems by demonstrating unexpected behavior or phenomena, or comparing a set of traditional approaches in an experimental survey. - Application Papers reporting practical experiences on Internet of Things applications. Application papers might describe specific application domains in the IoT such as smart homes/offices/cities, continuous health care, waste management, emergency response, intelligent response, and Industry 4.0. - Vision Papers identifying emerging or future research issues and directions, and describing new research visions in the IoT area that may have a great impact on our society. ** Topics of Interest ** We welcome papers on the following and other relevant topics: - Semantic IoT - Privacy-by-design and security-by-design in IoT - System architectures for IoT, e.g. - things-centric, - data-centric, - event-centric, and - service-centric. - IoT applications including: - smart homes/offices/cities, - waste management, - health care, - emergency response, and - intelligent shopping. - Nano Technology including: - Nano Networks, - Nano communication, - Nano applications, - Nano computing, and - Internet of Nano Things. - IoT programming toolkits and frameworks - IoT prototypes and evaluation test-beds - IoT data mining and analytics - IoT management and interoperability - Management of IoT streams - Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT - Spatial and temporal reasoning for IoT - Sustainability of IoT platforms, e.g. business models for deployment and maintenance - Societal challenges and IoT, e.g. urban planning and decision making tools - Ownership of data in IoT scenarios - Fog, Edge and Dew Computing for IoT - IoT benchmarks and performance measurement - Indexing and search in IoT environments - IoT transactions, concurrency control and recovery - Hardware accelerators and energy savers for IoT applications and core infrastructure - IoT discovery of devices, services and data ** Workshop Chairs ** - Sven Groppe, University of Luebeck, Germany - Carlo Alberto Boano, Graz University of Technology, Austria ** Program Committee ** - Whai-En Chen, National Ilan University, Taiwan - Jerome Darmont, Universite Lumiere Lyon 2, France - Mirian Halfeld Ferrari, Universite d' Orleans, France - Andrew Hudson-Smith, University College London, UK - Abdessamad Imine, INRIA-LORIA Nancy Grand-Est, France - Peiquan Jin, University of Science and Technology of China, China - Verena Kantere, University of Geneva, Switzerland - Abdelmajid Khelil, Landshut University of Applied Sciences, Germany - Jan Lindstroem, MariaDB Corporation, Finland - Uden Lorna, Staffordshire University, UK - Pericles Loucopoulos, The University of Manchester, UK - Riccardo Martoglia, University di Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy - Cedric du Mouza, Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers, France - Luis Munoz, University of Cantabria, Spain - Elaheh Pourabbas, National Research Council of Italy, Italy - Sherif Sakr, School of Computer Science and Engineering University of New South Wales, Australia, and King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Saudi Arabia - Klaus-Dieter Schewe, Johannes-Kepler-Universitaet Linz, Austria - Mu-Chun Su, National Central University, Taiwan - Marco Vieira, University of Coimbra, Portugal ** Important Dates ** Submission (extended): April 17, 2017 Notification: May 22, 2017 Workshop: August 28, 2017 ** Submission ** Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers: The 1st International Workshop on Temporal Reasoning in Recommendation Systems (TempRRS 2017) Datum: Sun, 2 Apr 2017 23:59:01 +0300 Von: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for papers: The 1st International Workshop on Temporal Reasoning in Recommendation Systems (TempRRS 2017) <https://sites.google.com/edu.haifa.ac.il/tempreasoninginrs/home> https://sites.google.com/edu.haifa.ac.il/tempreasoninginrs/home TempRRS 2017 is co-located with ACM RecSys 2017, 27-30 August 2017 at Como, Italy Abstract and Topics The workshop focus is on considering temporal aspects for recommender systems in general, regardless of the specific domain and application, trying to develop a holistic approach for dealing with temporal aspects in recommender system, like personal assistants, news, tourism, health care, TV, e-commerce, social networks etc. Hitherto, temporal aspects of user activity in Recommender Systems were used in two different scenarios: explicit feedback and implicit feedback. The first one is related to explicitly expressing ratings for movies, for example: Netflix prize data set contains timestamps associated with the ratings. As it was shown using them improved rating prediction. On the other hand, there is an implicit feedback data: e-commerce logs that describe user shopping behavior contain timestamps that also can be used in identifying user patterns (when user tend to purchase more in the morning and towards the evening; on Mondays rather than the middle of the week, before the holidays on August rather than other months and so on), building user profiles, identifying similar users (for CF) and use all this useful information for items to purchase recommendations. Not only e-commerce, but other domains with web clickstreams, can be analyzed considering temporal components. In recent years' Markovian model and sequential pattern-mining methods were frequently used for such tasks. Recently temporal graphs and Recurrent Neural Networks are also considered for sequential data analyses and providing recommendations for people, communities, locations, etc. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on temporal aspects in recommender systems domain in order to look at the challenges from the point of view of the temporal aspects in user modelling and recommender systems in order to provide relevant recommendations regarding the representation and reasoning about temporal aspects. All in all, the workshop aims at attracting presentations of novel ideas for addressing these challenges and how to advance the current state of the art in this field. Important aspects and topics to be discussed evolve around: * Specific applications and case studies where temporal aspects were considered (evaluation) * Specific methods and techniques for integrating temporal aspects into the recommendations * Integrating data o Exploiting data from various sources, i.e., catalogues, Linked Open Data, and usage logs * Context and Mobility * Cold-Start Problem * Preference Elicitation * Temporal Personalization * Temporal aspects in group recommendations * Cross domain temporal patterns Submissions Page limits: Long papers - 6 pages + references; Short pages: 4 pages + references; Position paper/Demo paper 2 pages + references.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers: The 1th International Workshop on Temporal Aspects in User Modelling (UMTempAspects) Datum: Mon, 3 Apr 2017 00:01:33 +0300 Von: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for papers: The 1th International Workshop on Temporal Aspects in User Modelling (UMTempAspects) https://sites.google.com/edu.haifa.ac.il/umtempaspects/home UMTempAspects 2017 is co-located with ACM UMAP 2017, 9-12th July 2017 at FIIT STU, Bratislava, Slovakia Abstract and Topics The workshop will focus on considering temporal aspects for user modelling. Nowadays computerized systems strive to provide personalized services to their users, from product recommendations, to education and personalized medicine tailoring online courses and healthcare services to the individual needs and preferences. An essential component to support personalization of services is a user model a representation of the user in the specific domain of interest, whether it is a recommendation about a product, a piece of content, a route to a destination or a medical treatment, all must take the user characteristics into consideration. Naturally, the user model needs to be adapted over time, as new information is acquired by the system and user behavior evolves. The need to continuously update the user model stems from the simple fact that new information about users becomes continuously available and that users change: their characteristics and preferences change over time they acquire new skills, gain experience, their tastes, preferences, goals change as well as their physical, psychological and physiological characteristics Therefore, there is a strong temporal aspect in user modelling and a need to research it further. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working in order to look at the challenges from the point of view of the temporal aspects in user modelling. All in all, the workshop will aim at attracting presentations of novel ideas for addressing these challenges and how to advance the current state of the art in this field. Topics (of interest) include (but are not limited to): Specific applications and case studies (evaluation) Specific methods and techniques for integrating temporal aspects into the user modelling Considering temporal aspects in group modelling Lifelong user modelling Concept drift in user modelling Temporal-based Personalization Cross domain temporal patterns Interaction o Temporal aspects of conversational interfaces o Interaction concepts with personal (mobile or desktop) and group (on-site public or desktop) displays o Information needs, information access (incl. visualization) and search patterns o Personalized explanations (in recommendation systems: movies, people, e-commerce products etc.) Submissions Page limits: Long papers 6 pages + references; Short pages: 4 pages + references; Position paper/Demo paper 2 pages + references.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Information Technology & Tourism (JITT) Special Issue on Recommender Systems in Tourism Datum: Mon, 3 Apr 2017 00:02:34 +0300 Von: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Information Technology & Tourism (JITT) Special Issue on Recommender Systems in Tourism Guest editors: Julia Neidhardt, Daniel Fesenmaier, Tsvi Kuflik, and Wolfgang Wörndl Background The focus of this special issue is on the specific challenges for recommender systems in tourism. In particular, there are considerably more complicated scenarios than finding the best product for a user. Planning a vacation usually involves searching for a reasonably large set of products that are interconnected (e.g. means of transportation, lodging, attractions etc.), with a rather limited availability, and where contextual aspects may have a major impact (spatiotemporal context, social context, environmental context). In addition and most importantly, products are emotionally “loaded” and therefore decision taking is not based only on rational and objective criteria. As such, providing the right information to visitors of a tourism site at the right time about the site itself and various services nearby is challenging. Additionally and in contrast to many other domains, information providers are normally SMEs and do not have full information about available opportunities. Finally, there is no single, standard format to house this information and with this diversity, building effective recommendation systems within the tourism domain is extremely challenging. The rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in general and the Web in particular has transformed the tourism domain whereby travellers no longer rely on travel agents/agencies. Indeed, recent studies indicate that they are now active in searching for information and composing their vacation packages according to their specific preferences. When onsite, they search for freely available information about the site itself rather than renting a visitor guide that may be available, but considered to be expensive and sometimes outdated. However, like in many other cases, the blessing of the web comes with a curse – the curse of information overload. Recommender systems have been suggested as a practical tool for overcoming this information overload. Topics of specific interest Important aspects and topics to be discussed evolve around (but are not limited to): ● Specific applications and case studies (evaluation) ● Specific methods and techniques in the domain ● Novel ICT and its impact on travel and tourism ● Integrating data from various sources, i.e., catalogues, Linked Open Data, and usage logs ● Context and mobility ● Cold-Start problem ● Preference elicitation ● Emotions and recommenders ● Group recommenders / Decision making ● Interaction concepts with personal and group (on-site public or desktop) displays ● Information needs, information access (incl. visualization) and search patterns ● Collaboration, communication and sharing aspects in the tourist information consumption ● Personalized explanations and feedback of recommendation systems ● Digital storytelling, narratives, smart summaries and recommendation explanations Submission - Papers are required no later than April 30th, 2017. - Notification of outcome will be provided by June 15th, 2017. - Revised papers should be submitted by August 1st, 2017. Please submit manuscripts through the Springer online system (if you are a new author to the system you will be required to create a system login). https://www.editorialmanager.com/jitt/ Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation. The journal imposes no hard limits on the paper length as long as what authors write is important. Submissions that exceed 40 pages in journal format (including illustrations and references) should, however, be accompanied by a short justification as to why a briefer discussion of their research results.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] HICSS-51: CFP - Minitrack: Organizational Issues of Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data Datum: Mon, 3 Apr 2017 00:32:01 +0000 Von: Olivera Marjanovic <olivera.marjanovic(a)sydney.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 51st Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-51) January 3-6, 2018 (Wednesday-Saturday) Hilton Waikoloa Village (http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com) Track: Organizational Systems and Technology Track Minitrack: Organizational Issues of Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data Recent developments and the evolution of data and technologies in the business intelligence and analytics space has given rise to new opportunities, innovation and challenges for individuals, organizations and society. The internet of things has begun to create more demand for real time analytics and visualization. The emergence of major vendors (such as Amazon and Microsoft) in the cloud services arena is making cloud based BI a reality for both small and medium businesses as well as large corporations. The more prevalent use of predictive & prescriptive analytics and data science is heightening BI and analytics skill shortages experienced by companies. Meanwhile, there is an ongoing major shift in the industry of organizations leveraging pervasive, self-service analytics. The push for self-service analytics that include a portfolio of analysis tools, algorithms and visualizations has enabled agile decision making through effective business insights. In addition, the growth in this space has led to societal implications as the social impact of big data and analytics are felt more strongly and benefits underdeveloped and underrepresented parts of the globe. The evolution and innovation experienced has created a state of excitement and flux in the BI, analytics and big data space. Starting from a rich historic advancement in decision support systems, to more recently big data, internet of things, machine learning and cognitive analytics, this space continues to present a wide variety of research questions and challenges for researchers to explore. This minitrack, now in its 28th year, is the longest running HICSS minitrack related to business intelligence, business analytics and more recently big data, that continues to rise in relevance to both academia and practice. Its main focus remains on the organizational issues of BI/BA and big data implementations, rather than the data science and IT perspectives. This particular focus, as well as its long history of research embedded in Decision Support Systems and other research predecessors of contemporary BI/A, creates a minitrack with a rich comprehensive view of organizational issues. This minitrack will accept papers focused on the business and organizational aspects of business intelligence, business analytics and big data rather than technology or data science. Contributions from the fields of theory building, design research (methods and models), action research as well as analyses of existing or innovative applications are welcome. We invite papers that investigate topics which include, but are not limited to, the following: * Emerging Trends in Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data: - Cognitive analytics - Real-time business intelligence and analytics - Mobile and pervasive BI/BA - Innovative applications of big data and advanced business analytics - Cloud BI/BA - Self-service BI and rapid fire BI * Business Intelligence/Business Analytics/Big Data Applications: - Collaborative BI/BA Performance management and dashboards - Customer relationship management, supply chain management, and E-commerce - Geographical information systems and spatial analytics - Digital manufacturing and internet of things - Social media & big data/BI/BA - Open data and big data/BI/BA - Data lakes and modern big data/BI/BA implementation frameworks - Data visualization strategies * Managerial Issues - Data-driven business models and innovation - Business challenges of big data - Business value and big data/BI/BA success - Big data/BI/BA strategy, governance, and maturity models - Security, privacy and ethical issues - Societal impact of big data/BI/BA - Big data/BI/BA challenges in NFP organizations IMPORTANT DATES: - April 1, 2017: Paper submission begins. - June 15, 2017 | 11:59 pm HST : Paper submission deadline - August 17, 2017 : Notification of Acceptance/Rejection - September 22, 2017 : Deadline for authors to submit final manuscript for publication - October 1, 2017 : Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for HICSS-51 - January 3-6, 2018: HICSS-51 Conference For further submission information, please see the general HICSS-51 Call for Papers (http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/authors).
