(GI), der größten Informatik-Vereinigung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Die INFORMATIK 2019 findet vom 23. – 26. September 2019 an der Universität Kassel statt. Dort soll der 50. Geburtstag der GI, die 1969 gegründet wurde, mit einem attraktiven Programm für Teilnehmende aus Wissenschaft und Praxis gewürdigt werden. Das Leitthema der Tagung ist „50 Jahre Gesellschaft für Informatik – Informatik für Gesellschaft“. Weitere Informationen: www.informatik2019.de <http://www.informatik2019.de> Praktische Ansätze zur Integration ethischer, rechtlicher und sozialer Implikationen in Technologieprojekte (PRINT) Es wird bei BMBF- und EU-Förderausschreibungen zunehmend gefordert, ethische, rechtliche und soziale Implikationen (ELSI) der Technikentwicklung nicht nur begleitend, sondern mit einem integrierten Forschungsansatz in Technologieprojekten zu berücksichtigen. Es gibt zwar Leit- und Richtlinien für die einzelnen Aspekte, wie z. B. die im letzten Jahr aktualisierten ethischen Leitlinien der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. oder die neue Datenschutzgrundverordnung der EU. Für die praktische Umsetzung der sogenannten „integrierten Forschung“ gibt es jedoch weder klare Anforderungen noch technologieübergreifende Handlungsempfehlungen. Ebenso gibt es bis dato wenige Erfahrungsberichte oder Best Practices zur Integration von ELSI-Aspekten in die Projektarbeit. Aktuell stehen Projektkonsortien im Projektalltag somit vor einer großen Herausforderung. In dem Workshop wird es darum gehen, wie ELSI in Technologieprojekte integriert werden kann. Ziel ist es, eine aktuelle Übersicht zu Integrationsstrategien, -methoden und -erfahrungen hinsichtlich der ELSI-Thematik insbesondere in Verbundprojekten zu bekommen. Anhand von praxisnahen Vorträgen sollen gemeinsame aktuelle Herausforderungen der integrierten Forschung identifiziert und Lösungswege aufgezeigt werden. Der Workshop leistet damit einen Beitrag dazu, den Methodenkoffer der integrierten Forschung zu füllen. Die ELSI-Integration, die aktuell von vielen Beteiligten eher als Pflichtteil angesehen wird, birgt zudem auch strategisches Innovationspotenzial. Als weiterer Aspekt soll daher herausgearbeitet werden, welche Mehrwerte die Integration einer ELSI-Perspektive in Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekten liefern kann. Einreichung Gesucht sind Beiträge aus Wissenschaft und Praxis mit Bezug zum Thema des Workshops. Zwei Arten sind möglich: - Reguläre Beiträge stellen neue Ergebnisse und gesicherte Erkenntnisse vor (Umfang bis 14 Seiten). Sie dürfen nicht anderweitig eingereicht oder publiziert worden sein. - Extended Abstracts geben eine Zusammenfassung bereits publizierter hervorragender Arbeiten, die der Community auf der Tagung vorgestellt werden mit der Möglichkeit der Diskussion (Umfang 2 Seiten). Beiträge in Deutsch oder Englisch sind über das Konferenzmanagementsystem EasyChair einzureichen. Beachten Sie bitte die Vorgaben der GI-Edition „Lecture Notes in Informatics” unter https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni. Alle Beiträge werden im Hinblick auf Qualität des Inhalts und thematische Eignung vom Programmkomitee begutachtet. Publikation Alle angenommenen Beiträge werden in einem eigenen Workshop-Band der Proceedings der GI-Jahrestagung (Band II) publiziert.

Several other forms of intermediate-level knowledge have also been articulated for HCI as a whole, such as bridging concepts and strong concepts, as well as design critiques and annotated portfolios. Recently, this intermediate-level knowledge – residing between theory and artefact – has been suggested as a specific, lasting contribution of design research to interaction design. Developing intermediate-level knowledge can be seen as a way to develop a research field further, providing an opportunity to build up knowledge over multiple artefacts and projects. As the Child-Computer Interaction field is maturing, we can see the intermediate-level knowledge space getting increasingly populated, for instance with specific methods and tools. However, there seem to be fewer design patterns, design critiques, strong concepts or annotated portfolios. In this special issue we invite researchers and practitioners to contribute with original papers about their endeavours to develop or actively engage with intermediate-level knowledge for the CCI field. We also invite researchers to discuss and question whether intermediate-level knowledge is necessarily the right way forward for the maturation of the field, and possibly suggest alternative ways of extracting and communicating design knowledge for CCI from either theories or artefacts within CCI or closely related fields. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- • examples of approaches to developing intermediate-level knowledge in CCI • various forms of intermediate-level knowledge in CCI from a generative perspective, meaning that it has lead to new design ideas and possibilities. • approaches to determine generative power of different types of intermediate-level knowledge • alternative approaches and critiques to intermediate-level knowledge =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication.

It isn’t surprising, then that our reality and lives are increasingly becoming game-like (6). This is not limited to the fact that digital games have become a pervasive part of our lives, but perhaps most prominently with the fact that activities, systems and services that are not traditionally perceived as game-like are becoming either intentionally or unintentionally gameful (4, 6, 10, 13, 14). Intentional gamification refers to a “process of transforming any activity, system, service, product or organizational structure into one which affords positive experiences, skills and practices similar to those afforded by games, and is often referred to as the gameful experience. This is commonly but optionally done with an intention to facilitate changes in behaviours or cognitive processes. As the main inspirations of gamification are games and play, gamification is commonly pursued by employing game design” (6). Gamification has become an umbrella concept that, to varying degrees, includes and encompasses other related technological developments such as serious games (3), game-based learning (12, 24), exergames & quantified-self (8, 9, 21), games with a purpose/human-based computation games (17, 28), and persuasive technology (20). Secondly, gamification also manifests in a gradual, albeit unintentional, cultural, organizational and societal transformation stemming from the increased pervasive engagement with games, gameful interactions (6), game communities and player practices. For example, recently we have witnessed the popular emergence of augmented reality games (16; 17) and virtual reality technologies (2, 29) that enable a more seamless integration of games into our physical reality. Case in point are urban spaces that are increasingly becoming playgrounds for different games and -play activities. While location-based games such as Pokémon Go (1) were able to attract millions of players, concepts such as Playable Cities (19) and Urban Gamification (26) highlight the large scale changes that games are bringing about in the smart cities of the future. Moreover, the media ecosystem has also experienced a degree of ludic transformation: with user generated content becoming an important competitor for large media corporations. This transformation has led to the development of several emerging phenomena such as the Youtube and modding cultures (23, 27) and esports (7, 25), that have penetrated the cultural membrane allowing games to seep into domains hitherto dominated by traditional media.

JOWO 2019 Webpage: https://www.iaoa.org/jowo/2019/ ==================================== DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF WODHSA 2019 ==================================== The purpose of the workshop is twofold: on the one hand, to gather original research work about both application and theoretical issues emerging in the elaboration of conceptual models, ontologies, and Semantic Web technologies for the Digital Humanities (DH) and, on the other hand, to collect studies on the philosophical and social impact of such models. Concerning the former aim, a plethora of heterogeneous and multi-format data – including 3D models, photos, audio records, and documents on paper – is currently available in the Digital Humanities domain. Such huge amount of information, retrieved from different sources and contexts, disseminated in different and often isolated places, asks for principled methodologies and technologies to semantically characterize and possibly integrate data and data models for analysis, visualization, retrieval, and other purposes. Moreover, dedicated automated reasoning tools allow one to prove the consistency of conceptual models and to extract implicit information present in data to gain a deeper knowledge of the application domain at stake. Hence, research efforts towards the application or use of reasoning engines is of vital relevance. With respect to the second aim, the workshop welcomes contributions that look at ontologies and conceptual models for the DH from a broader philosophical or sociological perspective and contextualize them within the debate on digital technologies or models in philosophy or science and technology studies (STS). The contributions are expected to analyze ontologies and conceptual models for the Digital Humanities, i.e., to shed some light on the (social, economic, political, etc.)interests that drive the development and adoption of computer models in the DH and the impact on the involved stakeholders and society at large. The complementary character of these two kinds of contributions should allow both modelers and users to be more aware of the modeling choices behind models and applications and of the theories that constitute the background of such choices. This would enhance transparency and reliability of the adopted models and thus understanding and trust on the side of stakeholders and users. Examples of research questions which would be interesting to discuss at the workshop: * What are the current challenges concerning the management of knowledge or data for the Digital Humanities? * What is the state of art about the use of ontologies and Semantic Web technologies in the Digital Humanities? * How do we model, characterize, and possibly integrate knowledge and data for the Digital Humanities? * What are the core concepts and relations that ontologies for the Digital Humanities need to cover? Are these concepts well conceptualized and represented in the ontologies currently available? * Can foundational ontologies or theories of formal ontology (e.g., mereology, theories of events, objects, qualities, etc.) support knowledge representation or data management tasks for the Digital Humanities? * How do we deal with the temporal dimension of Digital Humanities data sets, e.g., with the representation of historic events and past objects? * How do we deal with uncertain or fuzzy information in DH domains (e.g, uncertain discovery place of an archaeological find, fuzzy execution date of an artwork, etc.)? * Is there the need for coordinated national or international efforts towards the integration of ontologies or data models for the DH? * Which is the impact of the use of digital technologies for scholars in the humanities, and for users and stakeholders? * Which is the impact of modeling choices on the DH domains at stake and on their users and stakeholders? =================== TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * The use of ontologies, conceptual models,or knowledge graphsfor modeling, accessing, integrating, or reasoning over knowledge and data for e-culture portals, museums, archives, and libraries, among others. Research domains of interest include history, history of arts, theatre, literature, archeology, musicology, natural and cultural heritage (including architectural heritage), among others. * The use of standard conceptual models for the DH such asCIDOC-CRMor FRBR. The workshop welcomes the analysis, comparison, or integration of such standard models with respect to foundational ontologies such as BFO, DOLCE, or UFO among others, as well as formal ontology theories. * The use of ontology design patternsto support the development of ontologies for the DH. * The use of reasoninginference mechanisms to guarantee data consistency with respect to knowledge models or to reveal hidden information stored in the data. * Research and application challenges arising from the digitalizationof DH data and their management through ontology-based information systems or applications. * The development of ontology-based information systemsfor the DH. We particularly welcome research or application papers exploiting the reasoning capabilities of Semantic Web ontologies, or using ontologies in tandem with relational databases (OBDAapproaches). * Sociologicalanalysis, modeling practices, and/or impact of the use of computer-based technologies (e.g., virtual reality for museums) in the DH. * Philosophical analysis of models and modeling practices in the DH. * Social studieson the policies towards thestandardizationof ontologies in the DH. ================= IMPORTANT DATES ================= - Submission deadline: April 30, 2019 - Review notification: June 15, 2019 - Camera ready: July 15, 2019 - Workshop: September 23-25 (one day) ====================== ACCEPTED SUBMISSIONS ====================== We welcome two types of submissions: * Research articles (not exceeding 12 pages, including the bibliography) for presenting original unpublished work, neither submitted to, nor accepted for, any other venue. * Extended abstracts (not exceeding 6 pages, including the bibliography) for presenting work in progress, brief descriptions of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects. However, please notice that, as a requisite for having the abstract published in the CEUR proceedings, this cannot be shorter than 5 pages in the IOS Press formatting template. ====================== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ====================== Papers should be submitted non-anonymously in PDF format following IOS Press formatting guidelines (downloadable here: https://www.iospress.nl/service/authors/latex-and-word-tools-for-book-autho…).

Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019): Deadline Approaching Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:57:00 +0100 From: Joyce El Haddad <joyce.elhaddad(a)lamsade.dauphine.fr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [Please accept our apologies if you receive this email more than once] ----------------------Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019) 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ Technical co-sponsorship: IEEE-CS TCI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms an d applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2019 Mini Track: Business Simulation in Higher Education Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 09:30:12 +0000 From: Anabela Mesquita <abmesquita(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: Paulino Silva <paulinosilva123(a)gmail.com> Dear colleagues There are still a few days to submit your work to the AMCIS 2019 Mini-track, Business Simulation in Higher Education. The AMCIS 2019 conference will take place in Cancún, México, between 15th and 17th of August 2019. Track: IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases (SIGED) Minitrack 1: Business Simulation in Higher Education Nowadays, the development of soft skills is considered as important as the more technical and theoretical knowledge in order to become employable and competitive. Employers are looking for professionals that possess practical knowledge and understand clearly the business where they are entering in. One possible solution to help students to develop those capabilities is through the use of business simulations as these simulate the real situation, where the student potentially might enroll, helping key actors to feel and learn as if they were in the world of work. This mini track is an opportunity for educators, researchers, students and practitioners to share and exchange ideas, techniques and experiences regarding business simulation, its development, application and pedagogical approaches. More and more, the world of work is demanding soft skills as a requisite to enter the job market. As a consequence, higher education institutions are introducing changes in the pedagogical approaches and teaching methods in order to meet these needs and expectations. One solution that is being used is the incorporation of Business Simulation methodologies in the most diverse courses, including management and accounting at undergraduate and graduate levels, and in MBAs. These type of solutions enables students to develop important skills, together with practical knowledge. Competences such as teamwork, critical thinking and analysis, innovation and creativity are some examples of what can be developed and is valued by employers, nowadays. This mini track provides an opportunity for educators, researchers, students and practitioners to exchange ideas, techniques and experiences concerning the use of Simulations as a way to acquire practical knowledge and develop soft skills. Different submission topics and formats are welcome, ranging from more theoretical papers describing the approaches behind those games and simulations, to papers presenting technological possibilities and even the description of the use of such solutions in higher education. Suggested topics related with Business Simulation: Games and business simulation in education • Virtual learning environments • Available solutions and technologies • Pedagogical and methodological issues • Assessment of the learning outcomes • Teaching cases • Theories behind the development and use of business simulation • Ethical issues • Challenges faced by educators and students • Mobile business simulation • Integration of students in the job market Mini-Track chairs Anabela Mesquita, sarmento(a)iscap.ipp.pt <mailto:sarmento@iscap.ipp.pt> Paulino Silva - paulino(a)iscap.ipp.pt <mailto:paulino@iscap.ipp.pt> Submission Instructions: https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/ <https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/> Important Dates: March 1, 2019: AMCIS manuscript submissions closes for authors at 10:00am PST March 7, 2019: All papers have assigned reviewers April 24, 2019: Camera-ready papers are due _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
