-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Workshop on Big Data in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings (BDSmart 2017) Datum: Sat, 8 Jul 2017 08:54:12 +0200 Von: Mouzhi Ge <mouzhi.ge(a)mail.muni.cz> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org International Workshop on Big Data in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings (BDSmart 2017) December 11-14, 2017 - Boston, USA In conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Big Data 2017 http://bdsmart.computing.dcu.ie/ Paper Submission deadline: September 22, 2017 SCOPE: =========================== Smart Cities generate an immense amount of data that if analyzed, can provide deep insights into behaviour of citizens and many aspects of our society. Generally smart cities are characterised as an innovative city that uses ICT to improve citizens¡¯ quality of life and efficiency within cities. Obviously data is key for promoting economic growth, quality of life and develop strategies for the city. Smart Buildings have emerged as an important cornerstone in Smart Cities to achieve these aims. They can act as an important source for vast amount of data and are key for efficiency improvements related to energy, mobility and operation. In Smart Cities and Smart Buildings, people are dealing with a tremendous amount of data. These environments can be classed as Big Data environments in which data sets increase in size, complexity and velocity. The data is fast moving and change, and can be originated from various sources such as social networks, unstructured data from different devices or raw feeds from building sensors. They challenge traditional data management approaches and tools, concerning performance, integration and analytics. However, one of a key challenge is the huge number of data quality problems that can be time-consuming to solve or even lead to incorrect data analytics. Despite the importance of data quality for modern businesses, current research on Big Data quality is limited. It is particularly limited knowledge exist on how to apply traditional data management approaches and data quality models to Big Data within Smart Cities and Smart Buildings. Therefore, this workshop aims to discuss Big data in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings, and particular focuses on the Big Data quality research from several perspectives. With this workshop we view Big Data as a crucial asset that creates value within Smart Cities, and thus needs to be managed accordingly for optimal business value. We aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to Big Data in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings. Although this workshop can only provide a first platform for discussions and propositions, it can build a foundation for further empirical research to understand Big Data quality and its implications for Smart Cities and Smart Buildings. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based on case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science as well as experimental and simulation. In addition, practical oriented research and experience reports are encouraged. Topics of Interest: =========================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Foundation and Technologies for Smart Cities and Smart Buildings Big Data in Smart Cities Big Data and Smart Buildings Big Data Value Chains in Smart City Big Data and IoT related to Smart Cities Data Lake concepts in Smart Cities IoT and Smart Buildings IoT Architectures for Smart Buildings and Smart Cities - Analytics in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings Big Data analytics for Smart Cities Analytics for Smart Buildings Energy Analytics and Smart Buildings Visualisation Approaches Data Mining Technologies - Data Management in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings Big Data Quality Management Master Data Management in Smart City Data Integration for Big Data Security and Privacy in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings - Value, Services and Applications for Smart Cities and Smart Buildings Value Co-Creation in Smart Cities and Smart Buildings Big Data applications in Smart Buildings Standard Development related to Smart Cities and Smart Buildings Service Development and Quality Case studies and Use cases in Smart Buildings and Smart Cities IMPORTANT DATES =========================== Due date for full workshop papers submission: Sep 22, 2017 Notification of paper acceptance to authors: Nov 1, 2017 Camera-ready of accepted papers: Nov 15, 2017 Workshop date: Dec 11-14 2017 PAPER SUBMISSION =========================== Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [fai-saso] Extended Deadline: Fifth International Workshop on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising Socio-Technical Systems (SASOˆST), September 18 or 22, Tucson, Arizona Datum: Sat, 8 Jul 2017 02:26:06 +0200 Von: Markus Esch <newsletter(a)saso-conference.org> An: fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de ************************************************************************* CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Fifth International Workshop on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising Socio-Technical Systems (SASOˆST) at the Eleventh IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2017) University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ; 18-22 September 2017 http://mocca.uni.lu/sasost/ EXTENDED DEADLINE: July 12, 2017 ************************************************************************* # Call for Contributions The design and operation of computer systems has traditionally been driven by technical aspects and considerations. However, the usage characteristics of information and communication systems are both implicitly and explicitly determined by social interaction and the social graph of users. This aspect is becoming more and more evident with the increasing popularity of social network applications on the internet. This workshop will address all social aspects that influence the design of technical systems, covering different perspectives of this exciting research area from the computational modelling of social systems to socio-inspired design strategies for distributed algorithms, collaboration platforms and communication protocols. ## Topics SASOST systems require a highly interdisciplinary approach, and the establishment of a research community around the creation of such systems is one of the workshop's key objectives. For this purpose, the workshop brings together experts from areas such as distributed computer systems, complex systems, and the social sciences to present findings and elaborate on the topic in the following complementary topical sections as well as open panel discussion rounds. Relevant topics include but are not limited to: ** Computational modelling of social systems ** - Trust, norms and reputation management - Computational social science techniques - Social network analysis in information systems and collaboration platforms - Information spreading, opinion formation and collective user behaviour - Real-time prediction of collective phenomena like, e.g., information cascades in social media - Representation of and reasoning about computational laws - Effects of trust models and metrics on self-organising autonomous systems - Analysis of threats to self-organising and autonomous systems - Data-driven modelling of human and social aspects in software engineering ** Applications of social aspects in technical systems ** - Socio-aware overlays and adaptation of network protocols and topologies - Simulation and evaluation of computing systems using behavioural models - Trust-based approaches to deal with uncertainty in self-organising systems - Self-organising norm-governed systems - Socially adaptive, scalable content distribution - Real-time monitoring and prediction of collective user dynamics - Smart grids and cyber-physical systems - Utilisation of social structures for the scalable provision of distributed virtual environments and in application-level routing schemes for peer-to-peer, wireless ad-hoc or delay tolerant networks - Socially inspired algorithms and network topologies for distributed search, consensus, gossiping etc. ## Papers and Talks The organisers welcome the submission of short papers not exceeding 6 two-column pages in the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style. We solicit both original research papers as well as position papers. The submissions need to be previously unpublished and currently not under review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published as a bundle with the main conference proceedings by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be submitted to the indexing companies. Furthermore, we encourage the submission of proposals for talks that present previously published work of special interest to the workshop community. Position statements encouraging discussions on the workshop's topics are also welcome. These proposals should also adhere to the two-column IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style, not exceeding two pages. The workshop provides an excellent opportunity to discuss and share research results with a wider audience in an interdisciplinary environment. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by two to three members of the programme committee in a single-blind process. The decision will be based on the motivation of the research, the clarity of the contribution and the relevance of the research to the domain of self-adaptive and self-organising socio-technical systems. In particular, submissions that promise to fuel discussions, which bring together results and issues from different disciplines and which thus contribute to the strengthening of an interdisciplinary community, will be given preference. ## Important Dates Submission Deadline: July 12, 2017 Notification Due: July 21, 2017 Final Version Due: July 26, 2017 Workshop: September 18 or 22, 2017 _______________________________________________ fai-saso mailing list fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de https://mailman.rz.uni-augsburg.de/mailman/listinfo/fai-saso

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] MULTI 2017 @ MODELS: Deadline Extension Datum: Sat, 8 Jul 2017 09:14:03 +0000 Von: Wimmer Manuel <wimmer(a)big.tuwien.ac.at> Antwort an: Wimmer Manuel <wimmer(a)big.tuwien.ac.at> An: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> ========================================================= Deadline extension: July 17, 2017 (new deadline) ========================================================= MULTI 2017 4th International Workshop on Multi-Level Modelling https://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MULTI2017/ Co-located with MODELS 2017 September 19th, 2017 Austin, Texas A growing community of researchers is excited about the prospects offered by multilevel modelling. However, there is still no clear consensus on what this new paradigm actually entails and how it should be applied. For example, there are different views on whether it is sound to combine instance facets and type facets into so-called clabjects, whether strict metamodeling is too restrictive, and what tool architectures provide the best framework for modelling with multiple classification levels. This lack of a foundational consensus is mirrored by the lack of a common focus in current multilevel tools. The goal of MULTI 2017 (https://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MULTI2017), which takes place in Austin as part of the Models Conference (Sept. 17th-22nd), is to address these challenges and continue the community building established in the previous workshops. In particular, the goal is to encourage the community to delineate different approaches to multi-level modelling and define objective ways to evaluate their respective strengths/weaknesses. One key way of addressing this goal is to identify standard/canonical examples specially designed to exercise the abilities of multilevel modelling approaches. We encourage submissions on new concepts, implementation approaches and formalisms as well as submissions on controversial positions, requirements for evaluation criteria or case-study scenarios. Contributions in the area of tool building, multilevel modelling applications, canonical examples and educational material are equally welcome. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: - the exact nature and semantics of elements in a multilevel hierarchy and how best to represent them - the importance and role of potency and its variants such a durability and mutability - transitioning from traditional modelling approaches/tools to multi-level approaches - engineering domain-specific languages and complete tool support - methods for designing multilevel models - formal approaches to multilevel modelling - experiences and challenges in providing tool support for multilevel modelling - experiences and challenges in applying multilevel modelling techniques to large and/or real world problems - model management languages (transformation, code generation etc.) in a multi-level setting - comparisons of multilevel and two-level solutions for modelling problems - criteria for comparing multilevel modelling approaches and evaluating their usability - canonical multi-level modelling examples and challenges - distinct and multiple viewpoints on multilevel models - methods for developing multilevel systems and languages - the management of changes in multilevel models - innovative systems architectures enabled by multilevel languages - multilevel modelling versus knowledge engineering and ontologies To promote the exchange between different schools of multilevel modelling and to contribute to a consolidation of the field, this year's MULTI will for the first time introduce a specific modelling challenge: https://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MULTI2017/#challenge The participants are asked to develop a multilevel model, or multilevel DSMLs respectively, to represent a domain that is provided in a natural language description. The solutions should account for certain requirements and are expected to be submitted in a given structure. ************** Important Dates ************** Paper Submission Deadline: July 17th, 2017 Authors Notification: July 28th, 2017 Workshop: September 19th, 2017 ******************* Workshop Organizers ******************* Tony Clark, Sheffield Hallam University, UK Ulrich Frank, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Manuel Wimmer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: ODBASE 2017 - The 16th International Conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics Datum: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 23:15:21 +0200 Von: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> Antwort an: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de *** Submission deadline July 24th *** CALL FOR PAPERS ODBASE 2017 - The 16th International Conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics 24-25 October 2017, Rhodes, Greece http://www.otmconferences.org/index.php/conferences/odbase-2017 The conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics for Large Scale Information Systems (ODBASE'17) provides a forum on the use of ontologies, rules and data semantics in novel applications. Of particular relevance to ODBASE are papers that bridge traditional boundaries between disciplines such as artificial intelligence and Semantic Web, databases, data analytics and machine learning, social networks, distributed and mobile systems, information retrieval, knowledge discovery, and computational linguistics. This year, we emphasis the special topics of smart data analytics, Corporate Semantic Web, and Pragmatic Web. The Corporate Semantic Web focuses on the application of semantic methods and technologies in corporate environments and enterprise information systems. The Pragmatic Web consists of the tools, practices and theories describing why and how people use information. In contrast to the Syntactic Web and Semantic Web the Pragmatic Web is not only about form or meaning of information, but also about interaction which brings about e.g. understanding or commitments. Under the Pragmatic Web label we subsume both the pragmatics of ontologies (e.g. ontology development in communities) and the ontology of pragmatics (e.g. semantics of communicative action and context). Pragmatic Web technologies include e.g., distributed ontology- and rule-based systems, tools for knowledge interchange and social interaction, semantic agent technologies with communication (e.g. speech acts), coordination, and negotiation protocols. We also encourage the submission of research and practical experience papers concerning software (e.g. scalability) and knowledge engineering issues in semantic ontology and rule management, information/knowledge integration, and extraction, as well as papers that examine the information and knowledge needs of various applications. ODBASE'17 intends to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and practitioners by being part of the Federated conferences Event "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2017 (OnTheMove'17)" that co-locates three conferences: ODBASE'17, C&TC'17 (International Symposium on Secure Virtual Infrastructures), and CoopIS'17 (International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems). ODBASE 2017 will consider two categories of papers: research and experience. Research papers must contain novel, unpublished research results. Experience papers must describe performance or usability of existing real-world systems, empirical studies, business / industry cases with (proven) solutions / systems for applied technological challenges, and concrete results demonstrating real-world importance and impact; preference will be given to papers that describe software products or systems that are in use in the community and/or the industry. TOPICS OF INTEREST Specific areas of interest to ODBASE'17 include but are not limited to: Management of Semantically Expressive Information and Knowledge . Knowledge representation and semantic knowledge management . Semantic data modeling . Semantic integration, including transformation rules, ontology matching, merging, etc. . Ontology and rule engineering and metadata management . Ontology-based data management, linked data management, semantic big data management . Governance aspects such as workflows, roles and responsibilities in semantic information and knowledge management Large Scale and Complex Information Management and Analysis .

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] Call for Papers: MKWI 2018 Teilkonferenz „Datenmanagement im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung“ Datum: Fri, 7 Jul 2017 08:57:34 +0200 (CEST) Von: Stelzer Dirk Univ.-Prof. Dr. TU Ilmenau <dirk.stelzer(a)tu-ilmenau.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de *Teilkonferenz „Datenmanagement im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung“* ** *Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2018, Lüneburg, 6.-9.3. 2018* ** *Call for Papers* Digitalisierung, allgegenwärtige Datenverarbeitung, autonomes Fahren, Liefernetze, datenzentrierte Geschäftsmodelle, Business Analytics, Big Data und andere Trends setzen inner- und überbetriebliches Datenmanagement voraus. Die Wertschöpfung in vielen Geschäftsmodellen, wie z. B. in sozialen Netzwerken, Suchdiensten, Online-Werbung etc., ist schon heute entscheidend von der Qualität der Daten und der Effizienz ihrer Planung, Verarbeitung, Steuerung und Kontrolle abhängig. Es ist absehbar, dass die Bedeutung des Datenmanagements in vielen Branchen weiter zunehmen wird. Datenmanagement umfasst sämtliche Aktivitäten, die zur Bewirtschaftung von Daten in Unternehmen und Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken notwendig sind. Dazu gehören insbesondere organisatorische Aufgaben und Data Governance sowie Daten-/Informationsmodellierung und -architekturen. Durch die Digitalisierung ergeben sich vielfältige Forschungsbedarfe: Die Ansätze des Datenmanagements sind auf neue Datenklassen, insbesondere unstrukturierte Daten („Big Data“), und Datenspeicher für heterogene Daten („Data Lakes“) zu erweitern. Durch frei zugängliche, offene Datenbestände („Open Data“) und deren Verknüpfung auf der Grundlage von erweiterbaren Ontologien („Linked Data“) entstehen umfassende Dateninfrastrukturen. Daten werden zum zentralen Bestandteil von Geschäftsmodellen oder von neuen Dienstleistungen („Data-as-a-Service“), personenbezogene Daten müssen geschützt werden, können von Konsumenten aber auch als Entgelt für digitale Dienstleistungen eingesetzt werden, so dass sich vielfältige Fragestellungen rund um die digitale Transformation ergeben. Wir ermutigen Autorinnen und Autoren, sowohl theoriebasierte als auch anwendungsorientierte Beiträge mit einem Bezug zum Datenmanagement zu dieser Teilkonferenz einzureichen. *Mögliche Themen für Beiträge* ·Datenzentrierte Geschäftsmodelle und Vermarktung von Daten („Data-as-Service“) ·Ansätze für das verteilte Datenmanagement, z. B. Open und Linked Data, Blockchain, semantische Technologien und Ontologien ·Messung und Bewertung von Datenqualität ·Data Governance, Prozesse und Organisation ·Werkzeuge und Standards für das Datenmanagement ·Informations-/Datenarchitekturen sowie Meta-Datenmanagement ·Zwischenbetrieblicher Datenabgleich und Datenübertragung: EDI, Data Pools, Industrial Data Spaces etc. ·Datenmanagement für spezifische Datenklassen: Stammdaten, analytische Daten, unstrukturierte Daten, Sensor- und Streamingdaten ·Branchenspezifische Besonderheiten des Datenmanagements, z. B. Automobilbranche, Gesundheitswesen, Finanzdienstleistungen, etc. ·Rechtliche und regulatorische Anforderungen an das Datenmanagement, z. B. durch Datenschutzrichtlinien (GDPR/DSGVO) oder Compliance-Vorgaben ·Rollen des Datenmanagements, z. B. Chief Data Officer, Chief Digital Officer etc. ·Management des Datenlebenszyklus: Product Life-Cycle Management, Customer Life-Cycle Management ·Wirtschaftlichkeitsanalysen im Zusammenhang mit dem Datenmanagement, finanzielle Bewertung von Daten als immaterielle Güter Die Einreichung von Beiträgen in deutscher oder englischer Sprache (Research in Progress und Full Papers) ist möglich bis zum *30.9.2017*. Wir freuen uns über Ihre Beiträge.
