Februar 2019 in Siegen Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 17:11:50 +0000 From: Leimeister, JanMarco <janmarco.leimeister(a)unisg.ch> Reply-To: Leimeister, JanMarco <janmarco.leimeister(a)unisg.ch> To: wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de <wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de> im Auftrag der Tagungsausrichter mit besten Grüssen aus St.Gallen Jan Marco Leimeister ===START Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir laden Sie recht herzlich zur *14. Internationalen Tagung Wirtschaftsinformatik* (https://wi2019.de/) vom *24.-27. Februar 2019 *nach Siegen ein. Die Tagungsserie "Wirtschaftsinformatik“ (WI) ist seit mehr als 20 Jahren die größte Wirtschaftsinformatik-Konferenz im deutschsprachigen Raum und ihr Themenfeld hat nichts von seiner ökonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Brisanz verloren. Es scheint im Gegenteil so zu sein, dass erst langsam deutlich wird, wie konsequent Informationstechnologien jeden Aspekt unseres Alltags, ja unserer Existenz, umgestalten. Heute nennen wir diesen Umgestaltungsprozess „Digitalisierung“, und er entspricht bildlich gesehen einer Flamme, von der immer noch nicht klar sein mag, ob sie wärmt oder verbrennt, aber jedem wird klar, dass man sich damit auseinandersetzen muss. Was bedeutet dies für die Wirtschaftsinformatik als Motor und wissenschaftlicher Unterbau dieses Umgestaltungsprozesses? Der Natur einer Wissenschaft entspricht es, sich nicht auf Ihren Erfolgen auszuruhen, sondern das Erreichte in seinen ökonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Effekten kritisch zu reflektieren, verantwortlich zu handeln, und nach neuen Herausforderungen zu suchen. Gemeinsam mit Wissenschaftlern, als auch Praktikern, möchten wir unter dem Motto *„Human Practice, Digital Ecologies, Our Future*“ die Arenen ausleuchten, in denen diese Reflektionen der Umgestaltung durch Digitalisierung stattfinden können. Es erwartet Sie ein umfangreiches Konferenzprogramm. Die Details finden Sie hier: *https://wi2019.de/konferenzprogramm/* Die wissenschaftlichen Highlights sind: -135 spannende Vorträge in insgesamt 14 wissenschaftlichen und drei Special Tracks (https://wi2019.de/konferenzprogramm/), -drei inspirierende Keynotes aus Wissenschaft, Industrie und Verbrauchersicht (https://wi2019.de/keynotes/), -acht interessante Workshops (https://wi2019.de/workshops/), -über 50 Poster- und Demopräsentationen, -und drei Panels zu den Themen DSGVO, Künstlichen Intelligenz, sowie Industrie 4.0, -ein Hackathon am 23.02. mit tollen Preisen zu den Themen Datenanalyse, Datenvisualisierung und Datenschutz (https://wi2019.de/hackathon/). Gleichzeitig bieten wir ein umfassendes Rahmenprogramm bestehen aus: -Welcome Reception in den Räumlichkeiten der IHK Siegen , -Academic Networking Dinner zum Netzwerken und fachlichen Austausch (https://wi2019.de/academic-networking-dinner/), -Pub Crawl, um in netter Atmosphäre die Siegerländer Kneipenlandschaft kennenzulernen (https://wi2019.de/pub-crawl/), -sowie dem sonstigen Rahmenprogramm (https://wi2019.de/rahmenprogramm/). Registrieren können Sie sich hier: https://wi2019.de/bezahlsystem/ (*Die Online Registrierung ist nur noch bis zum 20. Februar 2019 möglich*). Viele Grüße, Thomas Ludwig. ===END

https://sites.sju.edu/plw/lpnmr-2019/ Philadelphia, USA June 3-7, 2019 Part of the Philadelphia Logic Week 2019 https://sites.sju.edu/plw/ Co-located with Datalog 2.0 Workshop International Workshop on Bidirectional Transformations International Workshop on Theory and Practice of Provenance --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE LPNMR 2019 is the fifteenth in the series of international meetings on logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning. LPNMR is a forum for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. The aim of the conference is to facilitate interactions between researchers and practitioners interested in the design and implementation of logic-based programming languages and database systems, and those working in knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning. LPNMR strives to encompass theoretical and experimental studies that have led or will lead to advances in declarative programming and knowledge representation, as well as their use in practical applications. A Doctoral Consortium will also be a part of the program. This year's edition of the conference seeks to raise submissions devoted towards use of LPNMR techniques in emerging applications stemming from such areas as deep learning, robotics, cybersecurity, modeling cyberphysical systems, and human-aware AI. Aspects that have been studied in commonsense reasoning, inconsistency tolerance, and handling of dynamic knowledge appear essential in enabling these emerging applications to provide explanations and justifications of their outcomes. LPNMR 2019 aims to bring together researchers from LPNMR core areas and application areas of the aforementioned kind in order to share research experiences, promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research. INVITED SPEAKERS Esra Erdem, Sabanci University, Turkey Michael Gelfond, Texas Tech University, USA V.S. Subrahmanian, Dartmouth College, USA TOPICS Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on all aspects of non-monotonic approaches in logic programming and knowledge representation.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: 7th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019) Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 12:45:40 +0000 From: FiCloud Conference <ficloud.info(a)gmail.com> To: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org ----------------------Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019), IEEE CS- TCI 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

Camera-ready version due: Mar. 3, 2019. Workshop authors’ registration and camera-ready papers: Mar. 3, 2019 Workshop day: May 13, 2019 Workshop Objective ---------------------------- Following up the success of the past events at WWW2015, WWW2016, WWW2017 and WWW2018, the 5th AW4City 2019 aims to keep on attracting a significant international attention with regard to web applications for smart cities. This year, AW4City emphasizes on the contribution of web applications and Apps to urban mobility. In the era of cities and under the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable growth, cities are making an important shift regarding thinking of compact cities and they develop sustainable mobility plans. Issues like parking, traffic congestion and safety, sharing transportation and smart parking are among the topics where governments and the industry direct smart services, while data collection and analysis enable government’s fast –or even real-time- decision-making for alternative transportation means’ deliberation, public transportation changes, urban planning etc., and new business models appear that utilize platforms and data. Additionally, new types of business in transportation appear (e.g., that utilize sensors and big data), while things’ transportation is another challenge that cities have been started phasing. Τhis workshop aims to demonstrate how web applications and Apps can enhance transportation services and urban mobility in general. The aim of this workshop is to address web-based application and Apps’ design and development in the smart city and urban context. More specifically, it focuses on innovative applications smart city component and more specifically on the design and implementation of web-based applications and Apps. This component is crucial, since it addresses all the smart city dimensions: • Economy, since new types of entrepreneurship and innovative business models appear in data, creative and climate economies, and develop web applications and Apps. • Mobility, with regard to urban transportation (intelligent transportation), distance working, job offering demonstration etc. • Environment, since applications enhance resource management, transportation improvement, environmental monitoring etc. • Living, since applications enhance local life (i.e., e-learning, e-banking, e-commerce, e-tourism etc.). • People, since they concern applications’ end users and • Governance, where open data and e-government applications play crucial roles in smart city operation. Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the “big picture” of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this workshop. This workshop aims at gathering researchers from the fields of smart cities and web application development to think about the obstacles that hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of smart city trends with regard web application development that interconnect citizens, businesses and government in a smart city. AW4City 2019 is timely since sustainable transportation has been addressed as one of the UN Agenda 2030 strategic goals, while ISO37120 and ISO37122 that certify city services focus on smart and sustainable transportation too. Last but not least, customer satisfaction is being measured real-time, while corresponding safety can be ensured with the use of platforms (e.g., Uber and Lyft). All these issues are being supported by data, the Web and Apps and it is important to focus on future achievements. Additionally, an increasing criticism is that smart city represents an ambiguous urban utopia, which is supported by the partnership of local governments with big technological vendors. Articles can deliver a clearer view of smart city reality, while innovative applications can strengthen the existence of opportunities for new entrants in the smart city market. Moreover, most standardization bodies evolve competitive standards for smart city components and to this end, this workshop is expected to highlight existing development and trends with regard to application development (web-based, apps and end-to-end). We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from end-to-end solutions’ or apps’ development that will enable researchers to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify important directions for the research communities. Standards for web applications’ development in smart cities is interesting for several areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security, and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit the following topics (but not limited to): • Enhancing mobility experience with Web Applications and Apps; • Apps that support mobility, sharing, crowd-sourcing etc.; • Smart City management systems with emphasis on mobility (e.g. parking; traffic etc.); • Mobility Practices of Web applications and Apps in smart cities; • Theoretical foundations on Smart City applications and standards; • Creative partnerships, creative industries and industry 4.0 in Smart City with a focus on application development (Internet Economics and Monetization); • Pervasive Web and Mobility for Smart City emerging topics (i.e., user behavior analytics, energy, water, waste, transportation etc.) • The role of mobility partners for smart city applications development and standardization (i.e., promotion push, start-ups, open data); • Web Infrastructure standardization; • The role of standards on smart city data mining; • Smart city mobility e-services; • Smart city information quality and evolution in social content; • Ensuring mobility security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of web applications and Apps.

This offers new potentials for societies (e.g. transparency, consensus building) but also challenges such as misinformation, fake news or manipulation. Hence, there is an urgent need for comprehensive concepts as well as methods which exist independent of particular current platforms and applications. Therefore, in this mini track we are looking for research that investigates the impact of social media on welfare of societies. Moreover, current developments in data science, user behavior, privacy, and trust in the context of society could be considered in articles submitted to the mini track. In this minitrack we are looking for empirical studies (quantitative and qualitative) as well as conceptual papers and design orientated articles. Topics include, but are not limited to: - fandom in social media - social movements in social media - crisis situations (and communication) in social media - political communication in social media - impact of social media on the welfare of societies - negative effects: fake news, mis- and disinformation, rumours - automated accounts/social bots - social capital and social support - impact of social media on equality and inequality (e.g. of minorities, genders) within societies *Important Dates* - January 7, 2019: Manuscript submissions open - March 1, 2019: 10 am PST Deadline for paper submissions - April 15, 2019: Authors will be notified of decisions - April 24, 2019: Camera-ready submissions due *Dr. Milad Mirbabaie* Postdoctoral Researcher and Teamleader at/ University of Duisburg-Essen/ Manager of/Competence Center Connected Organization/ Professional Communication in Electronic Media / Social Media Department of Computer Science and Applied Cognitive Science T: +49 203 379 2671 M: +49 160 1037404 A: Forsthausweg 2 (LE 309a), 47057 Duisburg, Germany Web:https://www.uni-due.de/proco,http://connected-organization.de <http://connected-organization.de/> Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Professionelle.Kommunikation| YouTube: www.youtube.com/ProfStieglitz <http://www.youtube.com/ProfStieglitz> -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi
