Increasingly, organizations are interacting with current and potential
customers across a plenitude of IT-mediated “touch points”. Consequently,
coordinating strategies will likely dominate management thought in the near
and intermediate term as the number and variety of these “touch points”
continues to expand. Effective strategies will rely on quality practitioner
and academic research on a variety of issues, such as how to: differentiate
user experience across points of interaction, increase reach to the
consumer, improve conversion rates, sustain consumer loyalty, manage the
global and the local experience, etc. The end customer is at the focus,
with various technologies, devices and networks facilitating seamless
computing, communication, collaboration as well as commerce related
functionalities to the end users. This is made possible by embedding data,
sensors, controllers, and other devices into the physical and virtual
spaces of human beings thereby facilitating seamless interactions and
co-engagement between the end customer and the organization.
This revolution challenges companies to reimagine ways to reach current
and potential audiences in a coordinated way across a multitude of channels
and devices — both wired and wireless. Intelligent enterprises are
exploiting this topology to drawing inferences and develop key analytics by
aggregating and mining data about customers, competitors, vendors,
markets, and products as well as services. Enterprises are able to garner
global and local intelligence enabling them to develop innovative products
and services better aligned to market needs. We invite research which
addresses or expands on these ideas. Conceptual, empirical and
design-oriented works are welcome and will be considered for this
mini-track.
** Potential topics for manuscripts include but are not limited to:*
- Engaging end customers via a combination of devices and
delivery channels
- Multi-modal user experiences & Immersive Interaction Technologies
- Enhancing customer engagement by combining immersive
interaction technologies and multi-modal user experiences
- Enabling enterprises to make intelligent decisions related
to workforce composition, collaboration, leadership and, employee retention
- Pervasive computing devices requiring the need to reach end
customers across multitude of devices
- Exponential growth of data (both structured as well as unstructured),
created by end customers, sensors etc. requiring the need to analyses
and visualize the data
- Leveraging easy availability of computing power on the go in the
form of cloud computing
- Decision making by understanding and analyzing the
collective intelligence created across various customer touch points as
well as social networks.
- Better understanding of customer behavior using techniques such
as text analytics, natural language processing as well as social
network analysis.
- Improved visibility across the supply chain and real-time
data availability.
- Better monitoring of production processes to optimize operations,
reduce costs, enhance production as well as prevent and/or detect
health and safety issues.
- Adaptive systems which respond to touch-point data

Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Enabling Technologies and Tools for Next
Generation Internet Security (impact factor 3.073)
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 18:49:56 +0000
From: Benjamin Fung, Prof. <ben.fung(a)mcgill.ca>

Call for Papers
Journal: Elsevier Sustainable Cities and Society (SCIE indexed with JCR
impact factor 3.073)
Special issue: Enabling Technologies and Tools for Next Generation
Internet Security
Submission deadline: June 1, 2019
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/sustainable-cities-and-society/call-for-p…
Internet and its associated technologies are found to be essential for
societies and economy worldwide. The most recent form of the Internet is
so-called the Next Generation Internet (NGI). NGI has lately become a
buzz word – evolved rapidly from the Internet of Things (IoT) and
Internet of People (IoP) in 2008, to more sophisticated developments in
software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization
(NFV), 5G and the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)/Industry 4.0 in
2018. Put simply, it is an experimentation-based ecosystem for
innovation, which relies on the notion of Network Infrastructure on
Demand to gain immersive societal experience. It adopts loads of
cutting-edge technologies such as edge computing, trust and security,
AI, IoT, Open and linked big data, blockchain and AR/VR. Thus, many
global initiatives investigated practical approaches for measuring,
exploring and systematically designing the NGI, to be more open,
efficient, scalable, and reliable (e.g., BonFIRE, FED4FIRE, CONFINE
Connected Communities, and Smart City Canberra). Notwithstanding, the
foremost concern of NGI is related to security and privacy, lack of
trust, lack of interoperability, loss of memory/heritage.
The aim of this special issue is to bring together researchers from
academia, industry, and individuals working on relevant research areas
to share their latest accomplishments and research findings within the
research community.
The special issue aims to cover topics that include, but not limited to,
the below topics:
- Citizen-to-Citizen
- Internet Community-based infrastructure
- Security of Future Internet
- Privacy in Next Generation Internet
- Trustworthiness of NGI
- Interoperability
- Network infrastructure on demand
- Immersive experience
- Digital economy Digital society

====================================DESCRIPTION=========================================================================
Most multimedia objects are spatio-temporal simulacrums of the real world.
This supports our view that the next grand challenge
for our community will be understanding and formally modeling the flow of
life around us, over many modalities and scales. As
technology advances, the nature of these simulacrums will evolve as well,
becoming more detailed and revealing more information
concerning the nature of reality to us.
Currently, IoT is the state-of-the-art organizational approach to construct
complex representations of the flow of life around us.
Various, perhaps pervasive, sensors, working collectively, will broadcast
to us representations of real events in real-time. It
will be our task to continuously extract the semantics of these
representations and possibly react to them by injecting some
response actions into the mix to ensure some desired outcome.
In linguistics, pragmatics studies context and how it affects semantics.
Context is usually culturally, socially, and historically
based. For example, pragmatics would encompass a speaker’s intent, body
language, and penchant for sarcasm, as well as other signs,
often culturally based, such as the speaker’s type of clothing, which could
influence a statement’s meaning. Generic signal/sensor-
based retrieval should also use syntactical, semantic, and pragmatics-based
approaches. If we are to understand and model the flow
of life around us, this will be a necessity.
Our community has successfully developed various approaches to decode the
syntax and semantics of these artifacts. The development
of techniques that use contextual information is in its infancy, however.
With the expansion of the data horizon, through the
ever-increasing use of metadata, we can certainly leverage the semantic
representation of all media to a more robust level.
The NLP community has its own set of approaches in semantics and
pragmatics. Natural language is certainly an excellent exemplar of
multimedia, and the use of audio and text features has played a part in the
development of our field.
After a successful first workshop in Miami, we intend to continue this
tradition with the second workshop.
====================================KEYNOTES============================================================================
Keynote 1 -- Adam Pease, Principal Scientist, Infosys Foothill Research,
Palo Alto, California, USA
*Title: Conceptual Pragmatics: A Library of Logical Definitions
*Abstract: What is an apple, a jump or the number 2 and how can we hope to
have a computer understand these things with any of the same
depth or richness that people do? We now have machine learning systems
that can mimic, at some level, human sensory subsystems,
recognizing objects in pictures, or voices and words in streams of audio.
But we also need a cognitive-level representation - one that
not only can recognize patterns but also hold information about those
patterns that allows for explanation and communication. A person
can describe a previously unseen object to another person, who can then
recognize it and understand its characteristics before seeing
it, and before seeing it a million times. Someone who has never seen a
child skip can still be told how to recognize skipping. We can
tell another person the context of skipping, as an isolated action or the
likely context in which such actions occur.
In this talk I describe a unified corpus of logically-expressed and
computable meaning about concepts that has application in language
and image understanding. It is a library of pragmatics that can be used to
express facts independently of whether they are learned over
many presentations of visual or auditory data, or related in communication.
I also describe its application in image recognition and
language understanding.
*Biography: Adam Pease is a Principal Scientist at the Infosys Foothill
Research Center in Palo Alto. He has led research in ontology,
linguistics, and formal inference, including development of the Suggested
Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO), the Controlled English to Logic
Translation (CELT) system, and the Sigma knowledge engineering environment.
Sharing research under open licenses, in order to achieve
the widest possible dissemination and technology transfer, has been a core
element of his research program. He is the author of the
book “Ontology: A Practical Guide”.

Keynote 2 -- Amit Sheth -- Professor and Executive Director of Kno.e.sis,
Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, USA
*Title: On Exploiting Multimodal Information for Machine Intelligence and
Natural Interactions - With Examples from Health Chatbots
*Abstract: The Holy Grail of machine intelligence is the ability to mimic
the human brain. In computing, we have created silos in dealing
with each modality (text/language processing, speech processing,image
processing, video processing, etc.). However, the human brain’s
cognitive and perceptual capability to seamlessly consume (listen and see)
and communicate (writing/typing, voice, gesture) multimodal
(text, image, video, etc.) information challenges the machine intelligence
research. Emerging chatbots for demanding health applications
present the requirements for these capabilities. To support the
corresponding data analysis and reasoning needs, we have to explore a
pedagogical framework consisting of semantic computing, cognitive
computing, and perceptual computing (http://bit.ly/w-SCP). In particular,
we have been motivated by the brain’s amazing perceptive power that
abstracts massive amounts of multimodal data by filtering and processing
them into a few concepts (representable by a few bits) to act upon. From
the information processing perspective, this requires moving from
syntactic and semantic big data processing to actionable information that
can be weaved naturally into human activities and experience
(http://bit.ly/w-CHE).
Exploration of the above research agenda, including powerful use cases, is
afforded in a growing number of emerging technologies and their
applications - such as chatbots and robotics. In this talk, I will provide
these examples and share the early progress we have made towards
building health chatbots (http://bit.ly/H-Chatbot) that consume
contextually relevant multimodal data and support different
forms/modalities
of interactions to achieve various alternatives for digital health (
http://bit.ly/k-APH). I will also discuss the indispensable role of
domain knowledge and personalization using domain and personalized
knowledge graphs as part of various reasoning and learning techniques.
*Biography: Amit Sheth is an educator, researcher, and entrepreneur. He is
the LexisNexis Ohio Eminent Scholar, and IEEE Fellow, an AAAI
Fellow, and the executive director of Kno.e.sis - the Ohio Center of
Excellence in Knowledge-enabled Computing. Kno.e.sis. is a multi-
disciplinary Ohio Center of Excellence in BioHealth Innovation. Its faculty
and researchers are computer scientists, cognitive scientists,
biomedical researchers, and clinicians. Sheth is working towards a vision
of Computing for Human Experience enabled by the capabilities at
the intersection of AI (semantic, cognitive, and perceptual computing), Big
and Smart Data (exploiting multimodal Physical-Cyber-Social
data), and Augmented Personalized Health. His recent work has involved Web
3.0 technologies and involves enterprise, social sensor/IoT
data and applications.

Minitrack 7: Social Media and Network Analytics
Online social networks (OSN) differ from traditional offline social
networks in structure and content. Online content (e.g., online reviews,
eWOM via tweets, likes) that differ in nature, frequency, reach,
propagation speed, etc., by orders of magnitude, can be continuously
captured at the finest level of granularity. Unstructured data in the
form of text and emoticons communicated over OSN provides a lean yet in
many ways unique and emotionally rich means of communication that has
the potential to influence message receivers (consumers, colleagues,
stakeholders, etc.). Such unstructured data in OSN presents research
challenges that go beyond sentiment analysis, and include nuanced
aspects such as uncertainty and specificity. Adoption of OSN affects
behavior and decision-making in unique ways. This minitrack invites
original research on the use of analytical techniques and theories of
social network analysis to understand social influence, behavior, and
decision-making, data models, network structure and information
diffusion, and social network analysis.
Topics may include the following:
– Emerging architecture for scalable social media analytics
– Online social networks and geospatial analytics
– Communities structure discoveries such as profiling participants and
subgroups
– User sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and recommendation analysis
– Visual online social network analytics
– Use of theories to understand user communication patterns and behavior
in social media
– Network dynamics in the form of population and structural effects
– Impact of online social networks on decision-making at individual and
organizational levels
– Influence of online social networks on markets
– Information privacy and security in online social networks

Heraklion, Crete, Greece
May 02-04, 2019
http://www.iotbds.org/https://www.facebook.com/ES2014ECs2015
POSITION PAPER Submission Deadline: January 24th, 2019
Dear Colleagues:
We cordially invite you to share your latest research results at the
2018 IoTBDS Conference.
---------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------
The internet of things (IoT) is a platform that allows a network of
devices (sensors, smart meters, etc.) to communicate, analyse data and
process information collaboratively in the service of individuals or
organisations. The IoT network can generate large amounts of data in a
variety of formats and using different protocols which can be stored and
processed in the cloud. The conference looks to address the issues
surrounding IoT devices, their interconnectedness and services they may
offer, including efficient, effective and secure analysis of the data
IoT produces using machine learning and other advanced techniques,
models and tools, and issues of security, privacy and trust that will
emerge as IoT technologies mature and become part of our everyday lives.
Big Data (BD) has core values of volume, velocity, variety and veracity.
After collecting much data from IoT, BD can be jointly used with machine
learning, AI, statistical and other advanced techniques, models and
methods, which can create values for people and organizations adopting
it, since forecasting, deep analysis and analytics can help identify
weaknesses and make improvements based on different analysis.
Maintaining a high level of security and privacy for data in IoT are
crucial and we welcome recommendations, solutions, demonstrations and
best practices for all forms of security and privacy for IoT and BD.
Conference Areas:
1 - Big Data Research
2 - Emerging Services and Analytics
3 - Internet of Things (IoT) Fundamentals
4 - Internet of Things (IoT) Applications
5 - Big Data for Multi-discipline Services
6 - Security, Privacy and Trust
7 - IoT Technologies

Proposals
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 18:06:28 +0200
From: George Angelos Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy>
To: SIGSAND-L(a)CLIFFY.UCS.MUN.CA, CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG,
confs-submit(a)hri.org, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
*** THIRD CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ***
27th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation
and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2019)
Golden Bay Beach Hotel 5*, Larnaca, Cyprus, June 9-12, 2019
https://www.um.org/umap2019/
Proposals due: February 11, 2019
ACM UMAP 2019, the premier international conference for researchers and
practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups
of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information, is
pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be given in conjunction
with the
conference. Tutorials are intensive instructional sessions aimed to
provide a
comprehensive introduction to established or emerging research topics of
interest for the UMAP community.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• new user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and trends
(e.g. exploiting data mining and big data analytics for user modeling,
evaluation methodologies, data visualization, etc.);
• user modeling and personalization techniques for specific domains
(e.g., health sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural heritage,
education, internet of things, mobile, music, information retrieval, etc.);
• application of user modeling and personalization techniques for
information retrieval and recommender systems;
• eliciting and learning user preferences by taking into account users’
emotional state, physical state, personality, trust, cognitive factors.
An ideal tutorial should be broad enough to provide a basic introduction to
the chosen area, but it should also cover the most important topics in
depth.
Tutorial presenters can have one page in the adjunct proceedings.
PROPOSAL FORMAT AND SUBMISSION
Tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF format to both tutorial
chairs,
not exceeding 5 pages and containing the following information:
1. Title and abstract of the tutorial for inclusion on the ACM UMAP 2019
website (200 words maximum).
2. Tutorial description:
• learning objectives of the tutorial and relevance to ACM UMAP 2019;
• targeted audience (introductory, intermediate, advanced) and
prerequisite knowledge or skills;
• a brief outline of the tutorial structure;
• practical sessions.
3. Tutorial length: full (6 hours) or half day (3 hours).
4. Other venues to which the tutorial or part thereof has been or will be
presented, in addition to explaining how the current tutorial differs
from the
other editions.
5. Name, email address, affiliation and brief professional biography of
the tutorial instructor(s), indicating previous training and speaking
experience.
IMPORTANT DATES
• Tutorial proposals: February 11, 2019
• Notification of acceptance: February 26, 2019
• Tutorial summary camera-ready: April 3, 2019
• Adjunct proceedings camera ready: April 15, 2019

EVALUATION CRITERIA
All proposals will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs. The features that
will
be evaluated are:
1. ability of the tutorial to contribute to strengthening the foundations
of UMAP research;
2. clarity of the tutorial, which should emerge from its description;
3. good organization, as appearing from the outline;
4. background/experience of tutorial instructor(s) in teaching the
target topics.
TUTORIAL CHAIRS
• Milos Kravcík, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence
(DFKI), Germany (milos.kravcik AT dfki.de)
• Iván Cantador, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain (ivan.cantador AT
uam.es)
