13 May '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ACSOS] ACSOS 2020: Call for Doctoral Symposium Papers Date: Wed, 13 May 2020 09:32:07 +0100 From: ACSOS 2020 <publicity(a)acsos.org> To: acsos(a)lists.uni-wuerzburg.de **** ACSOS 2020 - Call For Doctoral Symposium Papers **** 1st Joint ICAC/SASO International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems 17-21 August 2020 – Washington, DC & Online https://2020.acsos.org/ https://twitter.com/ACSOSconf ******************************************************** The goal of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is to provide a forum for sharing the latest research results, ideas and experiences in autonomic computing, self-adaptation and self-organization. ACSOS was founded in 2020 as a merger of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO). For more information about the merger, as well as up-to-date news, see https://conf.researchr.org/news/acsos-2020 or follow us at https://twitter.com/ACSOSconf! The Doctoral Symposium provides an international forum for PhD students working in ACSOS-related research fields to present their work to a diverse audience of leading experts in the field, to gain both insightful feedback and discussion points around their research as well as the invaluable experience of presenting new research to an international audience. The symposium has a strong history, though ICAC and SASO, of connecting young researchers with highly experienced peers to forge connections which can last for many years. PhD students are invited to submit a two-page abstract, with another page for references, which should use the below format to describe the key motivation of their research, the major contribution (either actual or expected, depending on the research stage), discuss their methodology, and present the current status of the research. Authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to present their work both at the doctoral symposium and in brief at the main conference itself, offering a very wide audience for their research. Students at any stage of their PhD are welcome to submit. Reviews, feedback, and expectations will be adapted appropriately to the relative stage of each submission. **** Important Dates **** June 3, 2020: Paper submission deadline June 24, 2020: Paper acceptance notification July 8, 2020: Camera ready deadline **** Mentoring Program **** This year the Doctoral Symposium will employ a mentoring program, in which every author of an accepted paper will be paired with an experienced mentor from the community. Mentors will help introduce the student to the community, offer extended discussion of their research objectives and career opportunities, and will host their students throughout the event to help gain the best experience from an international conference. **** Submission Instructions **** Submissions should use the IEEE Computer Society Press format (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) and should be a maximum of 2 pages long, with an extra page permitted for references. Authors should submit their abstracts to EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsos20 Because the doctoral symposium focuses on the work of specific PhD students, please note that only single-author submissions are permitted, with the name of the PhD supervisor included below that of the author. All submissions should have the following specific structure: Motivation and challenges: explain why this research is important, and identify the key research question and challenges that have yet to be addressed by the community - including limitations of current approaches Contribution and objectives: present the main contribution of the research, in a way that a non-expert could clearly understand, then present the detailed objectives of your research, highlighting why your work is novel in comparison to existing research Methodology and preliminary results: present the methodology of your approach, discussing why it is suitable to your contribution, and also present any preliminary results if you have them Future work and research plan: summarise your intended future work, and provide a schedule of milestones with a discussion of their feasibility Authors of accepted submissions will prepare a final (camera-ready) version of their abstract, taking into account reviewers’ feedback. Doctoral symposium papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore as part of the ACSOS proceedings and will be made available in the IEEE Digital Library. **** Symposium Organisers **** Phyllis Nelson, California State Polytechnic University Pomona, USA - prnelson(a)cpp.edu Barry Porter, Lancaster University, UK - b.f.porter(a)lancaster.ac.uk

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [AISWorld] CFP of China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory (CWEIST 2020) Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 19:48:11 -0500 From: Xianjun Geng <geng(a)tulane.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory (CWEIST 2020)* *June 29-30, 2020 • Online via Zoom* The field of information systems has a long tradition of using mathematical and economic modeling to understand information systems phenomena and generate useful recommendations. With many emerging phenomena in IS, the need for this type of applied theory research is ever greater. However, the forums for this style of inquiry are rather limited, especially for analytical modeling scholars in China and the surrounding regions. The purpose of the China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory (CWEIST) is to bring together a community of scholars in China and around the world with a shared interest in the use of mathematical and economic modeling for IS and related fields. We hope this summer workshop to become a unique forum for this community to exchange ideas, hone our skills, and form new collaborations across geographical boundaries. In face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will move CWEIST 2020 online via Zoom for this year. The workshop will be held online on two days, June 29-30. For each day, the workshop runs from 9pm to 12 midnight Beijing time (i.e., 9am-12 noon US Eastern Time / 8am-11am US Central time / 6am-9am US Pacific time) in order to accommodate participants from multiple time zones. We invite submissions of original completed and research-in-progress papers addressing issues concerning mathematical and economic modeling for IS and related issues. The workshop features both extended-length presentations that are 50-min long and a poster session. For each extended-length presentation, we also assign an experienced researcher as a discussant. Only completed papers are considered for extended-length presentations. Work-in-progress papers and completed papers that are not selected for extended-length presentations are considered for the poster session. Only abstracts of accepted papers will be displayed on the conference website (we do not post full papers) http://idsdl.csom.umn.edu/cweist2020/ *Important Dates* • April 15, 2020: Submissions Open • May 15, 2020 May 31, 2020: Deadline for paper submission • June 1, 2020 June 15, 2020: Notification of Acceptance • June 29-30, 2020: Online workshop dates (Zoom URL to announce later) *Submission Instructions:* All submissions must be in English. The accepted file formats include Microsoft Word and PDF. The workshop accepts both completed and work-in-progress papers. Completed papers should be no longer than 40 pages (double-spaced, everything included). Work-in-progress papers should be no longer than 20 pages (double-spaced, everything included).

Fwd: [WI] ACM RecSys 2020 3rd Call for Doctoral Symposium Submissions and COVID Update
by Gustaf Neumann 13 May '20

13 May '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] ACM RecSys 2020 3rd Call for Doctoral Symposium Submissions and COVID Update Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 18:09:55 +0000 From: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br Reply-To: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Doctoral Symposium Submissions ** IMPORTANT NOTE ** Due to concerns about COVID-19, RecSys 2020 will cancel its physical component and go fully virtual. To support authors through these stressful times, deadlines are extended. The ACM RecSys 2020 Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers from both academia and industry. We invite students who feel that they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their work to apply for this unique opportunity, which will allow them to share their work with their peers as well as with senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have made some research progress, but who are not so far along that they can no longer make changes in their research plans. Typically, this means that they have defined their topic and have completed some research, but still have at least a year of research remaining before completing a dissertation (in many universities this corresponds to the dissertation proposal stage). The feedback from attendees in previous years has been very positive and the Doctoral Symposium has been considered very useful in providing research guidance. The symposium has the following objectives: 1. Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students’ current research and guidance on future research directions. 2. Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and students outside their own institution. 3. Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. 4. Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events. Student participants will have their extended abstracts published in the conference proceedings. They will also present a poster of their work at the conference. SYMPOSIUM FORMAT AND PARTICIPATION EXPECTATIONS Participants are expected to attend the entire symposium, including the dinner, and are also expected to attend the ACM RecSys 2020 conference. Accepted participants will be considered for travel support for the RecSys 2020 conference directly from the ACM. The format of the symposium will be primarily student presentations supplemented by one or two panel sessions to provide advice and Q&A opportunities with senior researchers in the field. Student presentations will be structured to provide maximum feedback. In particular: * Presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, followed by 20-25 minutes for feedback and discussion. * Two of the symposium faculty will be assigned to provide "primary" feedback for each presenter; following this primary feedback there will be a period of open feedback from all participants. * Students will be expected to take notes for another participant so that each of you can focus on interacting during the discussion surrounding your presentation. * During the main conference, students will also present their dissertation work and plans in the form of a poster presentation. Being accepted into the symposium is an honor, and involves a commitment to giving and receiving thoughtful commentary with an eye towards shaping the field and upcoming participants in the research area. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Applications are invited from graduate students pursuing a PhD project who would benefit from detailed workshop discussions of their doctoral research by a panel of established researchers. All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Application. Applications should include the following: 1. An extended abstract (see below). 2. A curriculum vitae. 3. A one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation, including questions regarding your dissertation that you would like to ask your symposium mentors. 4. A brief letter of recommendation from your doctoral advisor, focused on how your participation in the doctoral symposium will benefit your dissertation research. Submit these four items in a single PDF file to PCS by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on June 15th, 2020. There will be no extensions to the submission deadline. Extended Abstract. Your extended abstract will be evaluated with regard to: 1. Originality of the work with respect to current concepts and techniques (provide relevant citations). 2. Importance of the work with respect to fundamental issues in recommender systems (clearly identify the problems you are trying to solve). 3. Rigor and validity of claims, argumentation, methodology, results, and interpretations. 4. Clarity and persuasiveness of expression. Please write your extended abstract to the same quality standards as a regular RecSys submission. Formatting. ACM is changing the archive format of its publications to separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library, enhance accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our publications. Following the new ACM publication workflow, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format. The maximum length for extended abstracts is 7 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors are given below: * Microsoft Word: Write your submission using the Submission Template (Review Submission Format). Follow the embedded instructions to apply the paragraph styles to your various text elements. The text is in single-column format at this stage and no additional formatting is required at this point. * LaTeX: Please use the latest version of the Master Article Template - LaTeX to create your submission. You must use the "manuscript" option with the \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart} command to generate the output in a single-column format which is required for review. Please see the LaTeX documentation and ACM's LaTeX best practices guide for further instructions. To ensure 100% compatibility with The ACM Publishing System (TAPS), please restrict the use of packages to the whitelist of approved LaTeX packages. Authors are strongly encouraged to provide "alt text" (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author as well as it broadens the reader base for the author's work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com for both LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries. Accepted extended abstracts will be later submitted to ACM's new production platform where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication. Confidentiality. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until two weeks prior to the start of the conference. Submissions should contain no information or materials that are proprietary at publication time. SELECTION CRITERIA To provide maximum feedback to each student, participation in the doctoral symposium is limited. Selection is based on two broad criteria: * Value of the symposium to the student: * The degree to which the applicant is positioned to benefit from participation, including the student’s position in the doctoral process (the greatest benefit is for students with a developed research idea but much of the work yet undone). * The degree to which the student may otherwise lack access to a diverse set of feedback and input on his or her research plans (e.g., availability of local experts and advisors). * Value of the student’s participation to other students. * The quality of the extended abstract (as identified above), both as a model of excellent research and as an indication of the student’s potential in the field. * Diversity of participation, including diversity by institution, country, research topic and approach, and demographics. In general we will limit participation to one or two students per institution, depending on the number of applicants. * Evidence that the student will be an effective and active participant, providing feedback to others and helping to build a research network. APPLICATION CHECKLIST Well in advance of the deadline: 1. Write an extended abstract according to the formatting instructions above. The maximum length for extended abstracts is 7 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. Note that the student is the sole author of the abstract. Advisor(s) can be thanked in the acknowledgments. 2. Write a curriculum vitae. 3. Write a one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation. 4. Obtain a letter of recommendation from your advisor. By the deadline (June 15th, 2020, 23:59 AoE): 1. Submit items 1-4 above in a single PDF file to PCS. SUPPORT Accepted students will receive free registration to RecSys 2020. Students receiving support will be requested to be part of the student volunteer cohort. IMPORTANT DATES * Doctoral symposium submission deadline: June 15th, 2020 * Doctoral symposium submission notification: July 13th, 2020 * Camera-ready abstract deadline: July 27th, 2020 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

Hence, one may wonder how to build tools supporting their learning and usage (access/navigation). Alas the answer is not quite as straightforward as it may seem. It depends on various factors: the questioner's /background/ (lexicography, psychology, computer science), the /task /(production/reception), and the /material support/ (hardware). Words in books, computers and the human brain are not the same. Obviously, being aware of this, different communities have focused on different issues —(dictionary building; creation of navigational tools; representation and organization of words; time course for accessing a word, etc.)— yet, their views and respective goals have changed considerably over time. Rather than considering the lexicon as a static entity, where discrete units (words) are organized alphabetically (database view), dictionaries are now viewed dynamically, i.e., as lexical graphs, whose entities are linked in various ways (topical relations; associations) and whose weight links may vary over time. While lexicographers view words as products (holistic entities), psychologists and neuroscientists view them as processes (decomposition), involving various steps or layers (representations) between an input and an output. Computational linguists have their own ways to look at words, and their proposals have also changed quite a bit during the last decade./Discrete count-based vector representations /have successively been replaced by /continuous vectors/ (i.e., word embeddings) and then by /language-model-based contextualized representations/. These latter are more powerful than any of the other forms, as they are able to account for context ambiguity, outperforming the static models (including word-embeddings) in a broad range of tasks. As one can see, different communities look at words from different angles, which can be an asset, as complementary views may help us to broaden and deepen our understanding of this fundamental cognitive resource. Yet, this diversity of perspectives can also a problem, in particular if the field is rapidly moving on, as in our case. Hence it becomes harder and harder for everyone, including experts, to remain fully informed about the latest changes (state of the art). This is one of the reasons why we organize this workshop. More precisely, our goal is not only to keep people informed without getting them crushed by the information glut, but also to help them to perceive clearly what is new, relevant, hence important. Last, but not least, we would like to connect people from different communities in the hope that this may help them to gain new insights or inspirations. *2 Scope and Topics* This workshop is about possible /enhancements/ of /lexical resources/ (representation, organization of the data, etc.). To allow for this we invite researchers to submit their contributions. The idea is to discuss the limitations of existing resources and to explore possible enhancements that take into account the users’ and the engineers' needs (computational aspects). Also, just like in the past we propose again a 'shared task'. This time the goal is to provide a common benchmark for testing lexical representations for the automatic identification of lexical semantic relations (synonymy, antonymy, hypernymy, part-whole meronymy) in various languages (English, Chinese, and so on). For this workshop we solicit papers including but not limited to the following *topics*, each of which can be considered from various points of view: /linguistics /(lexicography, computational- or corpus linguistics), /neuro/- or /psycholinguistics/ (tip-of-the-tongue problem, word associations), /network/-related sciences (vector-based approaches, graph theory, small-world problem), and so on. 1 Organization, i.e. structure of the lexicon * Micro- and macrostructure of the lexicon; * Indexical categories (taxonomies, thesaurus-like topical structures, etc.); * Map of the lexicon (topology) and relations between words (word associations). 2 The meaning of words and how to reveal it * Lexical representation (holistic, decomposed); * Meaning representation (concept based, primitives); * Distributional semantics (count models, neural embeddings, etc. ) 3 Analysis of the conceptual input given by a dictionary user * What information do language producers typically provide when looking for a word (terms, relations)? * What kind of relational information do they give: typed or untyped relations? * Which relations are typically used? 4 Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes * Manual, automatic or collaborative building of dictionaries and indexes (crowdsourcing, serious games, etc.); * Extraction of associations from corpora to build semantic networks supporting navigation; * (Semi-) automatic induction of the link type (e.g., synonym, hypernym, meronym, ...). 5 Creation of new types of dictionaries * Concept dictionary; * Dictionary of larger segments than words (clauses, phrasal elements); * Dictionary of patterns or concept-patterns; * Dictionary of syllables. 6 Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies), interface issues * Search based on sound (rhymes), meaning or contextually related words (associations); * Determination of appropriate search space based on the user’s cognitive state (information available at the onset: query) and meta-knowledge (knowledge concerning the relationship between the input and the target word), ... * Identification of typical word access strategies (navigational patterns) used by people; * Interface problems, data visualization. *3 Workshop Submissions* ** The workshop features two tracks: * A*regular research track*, where the submissions must be substantially original. * A *shared task track*, with submissions consisting of system description papers. The regular research track submissions should follow one of the 2 formats: * *Long papers*(9 content pages + references) should report on solid and finished research including new experimental results, resources and/or techniques. * *Short papers*(4 content pages + references) should report on small experiments, focused contributions, ongoing research, negative results and/or philosophical discussion. Submissions must be anonymized, conform to the style sheet of COLING (https://coling2020.org/pages/call_for_papers), and be submitted via their website (https://www.softconf.com/coling2020/CogALex/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.softconf.com%2Fcoling2020%2F…>). While some papers may be accepted only as posters, in the proceedings no distinction will be made between them and full papers. *4 Important Dates* *Workshop papers* * Paper *submission deadline*: August15, 2020 * Notification of acceptance: September 20, 2020 * Camera-ready papers due: October20, 2020 * Workshop date: December 12, 2020** ** ***Shared task* * Release of development data : August1st, 2020 * Release of test data : September 1st, 2020 * Announcement of winners : October 1st, 2020 * Shared task papers due: October20, 2020 *5 Invited Speaker*** //*Alex Arenas*//(http://deim.urv.cat/~alexandre.arenas/ <http://deim.urv.cat/%7Ealexandre.arenas/>) Alephsys Lab, Computer Science & Mathematics, Universidad Rovira i Virgili, 43007 Tarragona, Spain *6 Workshop Organizers* * Michael Zock (LIS, CNRS, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France) * Alessandro Lenci (Comput.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [CFP] The 2nd IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Big Data for public health policy making Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 14:12:48 +0200 From: Fulvio Frati <fulvio.frati(a)unimi.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** IEEE Big PHP 2020 *** [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] **************************************************************************** *** The Second IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Big Data for public health policy making In conjunction with the IEEE SERVICES 2020, October 19-23, 2020, Beijing, China https://conferences.computer.org/services/2020/workshops/bigphp2020.html **************************************************************************** *** As acknowledged by the World Health Organization, by a number of governmental institutions, and patient associations, the effective management of health-related problems depends on and requires appropriate public health policies. A public health policy may have a significant effect on the prevention and early diagnosis and early treatment of several diffuse and debilitating conditions including, for instance, cognitive decline. On the other hand, health policies can be also focused to target personalized medicine and home healthcare, exploiting the knowledge obtained from the collectivity tuning it for a specific situation. The management of such health problems and their consequences through public health policies can benefit from the analysis of heterogeneous data (e.g., collected from modern IoT sensors as well as from standard clinical trials). Big Data Analytic techniques enable the investigation of specific health problems, their possible relations to other comorbidities and contextual factors, and patterns of such relations. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects concerning the adoption of Big Data Analytics in the context of evidence-based public health policy making. The workshop targets innovative techniques and solutions for supporting policy makers and clinicians in: i) taking decisions based on evidence and on ii) simulating scenarios aimed at predicting evolutions of health diseases at epidemiological level. It also aims to investigate security and privacy concerns related to the analysis of health data and the possible impact that security and privacy measures may produce on the achievable quality of analyses and the effectiveness of health policies. The workshop aims also to investigate: i) the modelling and adoption of advanced Artificial Intelligence models for policy making based on simulations and open data and ii) the possible trade-off between the design and implementation of health policies that may require years to produce their expected results and solutions able to rapidly produce tangible results. The workshop will bring together researchers of different disciplines, policy makers and clinicians, from academia and industry, all sharing a common goal: to go beyond the frontier of today's public health policy making process by envisioning how to exploit the full potential of Big Data Analytics in ways compliant with the principles and needs of modern societies, like satisfying security and privacy requirements. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Data driven public health policy making models - Model based Big data solutions for health-related policy making - Decision support systems for clinicals and policy making - Innovative Big Data as a service architecture for health - Security aspects of Big Data analytics threating sensible data - Privacy aware Big Data models and analytics in health scenarios - AI models for health-related policy making - Mixing simulations and open data for health policies predictions - Advanced reaction-oriented policy models for health - IOT sensing capabilities for health - IOT sensing and policies for personalized medicine Organization Workshop Chairs: - Marco Anisetti, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy - George Spanoudakis, City University of London, UK Submission We call for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages (up to 2 additional pages may be purchased subject to approval by the Publication Chair.). All papers will be reviewed with a minimum of 3 good-quality reviews per paper. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The submission URL is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeservices2020 Authors wishing to submit a paper to this workshop must select the track entitled “IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Big Data for public health policy making” in order to be considered.
