More details will be provided upon paper acceptance notification. * PRESENTATION: The 15th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP 2020) will take place in Zakynthos, Greece, on October 29-30, 2020. SMAP 2020 will be organized with the support of University of Thessaly and Ionian University. The Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP) workshop is the evolution of the Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization initiative, which was founded back during the summer of 2006 in an effort to discuss the state-of-the-art, recent advances and future perspectives for semantic media adaptation and personalization. However, as social media applications have nowadays substantially transformed the way organizations, communities, and individuals interact, the scopes of SMAP were extended towards the social aspect, seeking to bring together researchers from the Social Web, as well as from the Semantic Web communities. After 14 successful workshops starting from Athens (2006), and then London (2007), Prague (2008), San Sebastian (2009), Limassol (2010), Vigo (2011), Luxembourg (2012), Bayonne (2013), Corfu (2014), Trento (2015), Thessaloniki (2016), Bratislava (2017), Zaragoza (2018), and Larnaca (2019), the SMAP workshop series has been consolidated as a reference event in order to discuss about the newest advances in the field. * AIM AND TOPICS: SMAP 2020 aims to address several issues of semantic and social multimedia technologies and their use in content creation, media adaptation and user profiling. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: -Content creation, annotation and modeling for semantic and social web -Computational intelligence for media adaptation and personalization -Semantics-driven indexing and retrieval of multimedia contents -User modeling and dynamic profiling -Ontologies and reasoning -Multimedia standards -Semantics-based recommender systems: theory and applications -Recommender systems for mobile users -Web adaptation methods and techniques -Hybrid social and semantic approaches to profiling, recommendation engines or adaptation systems -Social multimedia applications (livecasting, audio-video sharing) -Social multimedia tagging and multimedia content communities -User-generated content mechanisms -Privacy/Security issues in Social and Personalized Media Applications -Privacy preserving data mining and social networks -Content customization and adaptation -Semantic context modeling and extraction -Context-aware multimedia applications -Adaptive and personalized multimedia summaries -Multilingual content navigation -Intelligent personalized interfaces -Social and semantic media collaboration platforms (e.g., semantic wikis) -Social web economics and business -Social network aggregation -Social data analytics -Social data mining -Adaptive/Personalized conversational media * IMPORTANT DATES: -Paper submission deadline: *September 1, 2020* -Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2020 -Camera-ready submission deadline: September 20, 2020 -Early registration for authors: September 20, 2020 -Workshop: October 29-30, 2020 * SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Each submitted paper will be refereed by at least three members of the SMAP 2020 Program Committee, based on its relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness and clarity of expression.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Special Issue Call for Papers from Journal of Data, Information, and Management: Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence to Combat a Pandemic Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2020 01:43:04 +0000 From: Zadeh, Amir <amir.zadeh(a)okstate.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Journal of Data, Information, and Management Call for Paper for Special Issue on Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence to Combat a Pandemic The pandemic, COVID-19 has become a global public health pandemics, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and trillions of dollars of economic damage. Scientists, researchers, doctors and healthcare experts around the world are studying this pandemic and its impacts on individuals, organizations and societies. While there is no cure yet for the virus, contact tracing has become an important part of the response to the covid-19 pandemic. This has led to calls for new technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, capable of detecting, tracking, and isolating Covid-19 cases, to slow the spread of the coronavirus. This also includes performing predictive analytics on relational, temporal and/or spatial data (medical encounter data, hospital admission data, social media data, mobile apps data and others) and use the insights from it to understand and monitor the epidemic. Further, the impact of Covid-19 is not limited just to the healthcare sector as all other sect ors of any economy of the world are affected as well. Therefore, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the need to understand different things in a new way has also created pressure to develop analytical tools. In particular, research has been done on how the virus spreads among the population and what health problems are caused by viral infections, as well as how different treatment measures affect the disease. Recently, however, other problems caused by the Covid-19 virus, such as economic and social problems, have also arisen. These various problems are constantly accumulating a considerable amount of data, which can be either a well-defined or fragmented news stream. In this special issue of the Journal of Data, Information and Management on the theme of "Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (including machine learning) to combat a Pandemic " like Covid-19 is intended to obtain insights and viewpoints from scholars and practitioners on the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning for the prevention or reduction of the negative impact of a pandemic. We seek for articles that apply artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science concepts and techniques to study the pandemic and its effects on individuals, organizations or the supply chain at large. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * The behavioral, temporal, societal, and organizational aspects of the pandemic * Predictive modeling of a pandemic's spread based on hospital data * Location-based human mobility data (e.g. social media, mobile) to track a pandemic like COVID-19 * Use of AI and machine learning enabled devices to detect a pandemic like COVID-19 * Analysis of disease transmissions and interventions * Data analysis of the impact of various (non)government intervention policies (e.g. stay-at-home, mask mandate) on the pandemic transmission * How enterprise systems (i.e. ERP, SCM, CRM) complement, the ever increasing need to work from home. * Urban logistics * Sustainability issues * Supply Chain Flexibility * Food Supply Chains * Distant work (productivity and social impact) * Innovation in the supply chain * Globalization of supply chains * Supply Chain Risk * Innovative strategies to limit risk of epidemic disease propagation * Simulation of outbreak events * Big data-driven health system response to epidemic outbreaks on operations risk identification * AI-based epidemic network analysis * MCDM models in field of healthcare risk management * IoT application in healthcare * Humanitarian logistics dealing with uncertainties * Other topics related this special issue Important Dates: September 15, 2020: Submission deadline for paper submission October 21, 2020: First round of reviews to the authors November 22, 2020: Submission of the revised papers December 15, 2020: Notification of the acceptance decision March 1, 2021: Publication of the special issue Guest Editor-in-Chief: Jatinder N.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Global Epidemics
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Global Epidemics Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2020 15:52:06 +0200 From: Sven Groppe <groppe(a)ifis.uni-luebeck.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Global Epidemics Overview of the Book: In the fight against epidemics, medical staff is on the front line; but behind the lines the battle is fought by the government officials, researchers, and data scientists. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been helping nations with computer modeling and simulation for predictions about e.g. the overall economic situation, tax incomes and population development. In the same manner, AI can prepare the government for emergency situations by backing the medical science. AI plays a key and cutting-edge role in the preparedness for and dealing with the outbreak situation of global epidemics. It can help researchers analyze global data about known viruses to predict the knows-hows of the next pandemic and the impact it will have. Not only for prediction, but also AI plays an increasingly important role in assessing a country’s readiness, early detection, identification of patients, generating recommendations, situation awareness and more. It is up to the right input and the innovative ways by humans to leverage what AI can do. As COVID-19 has grabbed the world and its economy today, an analysis of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses and analytics will pay a long way in preparing humanity for such future situations. While there exist books about AI in various application domains, what is currently lacking is a book that provides a comprehensive coverage of disease outbreak and specifically how AI can help fight with epidemics. To fill this gap, this book contains chapters describing the role AI plays in various stages of a disease outbreak, with COVID-19 as a case study. Invitation to Contribute a Chapter: The individual chapters should provide a comprehensive overview of the chosen topic covering advances in the area and should be tutorial in nature and presentation, to appeal to a broad range of readers who may NOT be researchers on the topic. Hence, they shouldn’t be like a research paper. You are hereby invited to submit first, a 2-3 page extended summary including (a) an abstract, (b) an outline / TOC / list of headings and sub-headings along with a summary of each heading, (c) short biographies of the authors, and (d) a statement why you are experts for the proposed chapter. Following a review of your summary, we’ll offer our feedback and suggestions for improvement and better synergy with rest of the chapters and cohesive coverage. Chapter Submission Link: https://easychair.orgconferences/?conf=aige2021 Structure of the Book: The book is planned to have 11-12 chapters divided into two sections. Part I consists of 3 chapters providing a holistic overview of global epidemics, a motivation for the book and challenges. Part II consists of emerging technologies that help fight against epidemics. Part II has 6 chapters as listed below. This makes 9 chapters. The rest 2-3 chapters are to be added dynamically based on the availability of authors (These chapters may be on The Use of Social Media for Tracking Public Behavior, Does AI help in Genome Sequencing, AI-assisted Testing, Computational Drug Repurposing, or any other trending and suitable topic in line with the title and the theme of the book). Part I: Controlling Epidemics: A Perspective This part provides an overview and study of Global Epidemic situations. It starts with assessing the countries' readiness for coping with epidemics, goes through the challenges in battling with epidemic, and then closes with a survey of existing approaches, techniques and tools available or developed by academicians or industry professionals for controlling the epidemics. 1 Setting the Scene (A Chapter by the Editors) This chapter provides an overview and summary of the complete book as a whole It acts as glue between the chapters written by different authors and brings in synergy to all the chapters in both the parts of the book. In effect, it sets the scene for the reader and acts as an introductory and a must read before proceeding for the further chapters. 2 An Overview of Global Epidemics and the Challenges Faced (a) Assessing Countries’ Readiness for Coping with Epidemics: There is a need of retrospective evaluation of each country’s readiness for coping with epidemics. An automated data collection followed by evaluation will help in knowing if the human kind is well-equipped to deal with it. (b) A Study related to Ebola, Corona viruses, Zika, influenza, Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria like infectious diseases will be presented in this chapter. A discussion on the most fatal pandemics recorded in the history (like the Plague, Spanish Flu, HIV/AIDS, COVID-19) and their economic consequences. What is common in these? All these have jumped to humans after being originated in animals somehow. (c) Challenges in Battling with Epidemics (d) … … 3 A Survey of Existing Approaches and Tools to fight against epidemic and the lessons learnt (a) Survey of tools/techniques/methodologies/software already available at the time of writing of this book to predict/detect/recommend actions during an epidemic situation. (b) Lessons learnt by every epidemic that has struck this world (including COVID-19) Part II: Emerging Technologies Fight Against Epidemics Having gone through the background of controlling global epidemic situation, this part of the book covers the emerging techniques to fight against epidemic. A number of digital technologies……………This book focuses on …”Artificial Intelligence”…. At the time of writing this book, COVID-19 pandemic was caused by coronavirus and was widespread with deadly results. The case study of COVID-19 has been presented to better exploit the study presented in each chapter. … 4 AI Technologies specialized to the need in the fight against epidemic All current technologies under the umbrella of AI or surrounding AI should be covered like Data Science, Big Data, Machine Learning, Semantic Technologies, Data Analytics, cyber security. 5 Does AI help in Forecasting? This chapter will speak about WHO statistics on pathogens. AI can help predicting everything about spillovers, hence allowing the governments to plan ahead. AI can predict what, when, why, and where of the epidemic. We define AI and discuss the various machine learning models to predict the same. Case Study of Covid-19 for Predictions will be presented. 6 AI and Detection / Improved Diagnosis In case of outbreak of a disease; after detection, we need to publicize the threat. AI makes possible quick detection in order to enable possible vaccination and treatment; and alerts for the public. Diagnosis and Monitoring of cases is of paramount importance. Case Study of Covid-19 for Early Detection will be presented. 7 Generating Recommendations A global, AI-enabled data system can provide advices and issue warnings in real time. Help manage socio-economic impacts. 8 Role of AI in Contact Tracing The architecture of so called “Corona apps” and their backends is described in this chapter. The role of AI is clarified for these approaches and also other aspects like privacy and security. Furthermore, other approaches to contact tracing are introduced in this chapter. 9 Situation Awareness In any disaster, it is essential that the citizens get the correct information and organizations get the correct data. This chapter describes AI approaches to detect fake news or scams. …. 10-12 Open Topics dynamically picked by the authors Any other trending and suitable topic in line with the title and the theme of the book can be incorporated. Editors: - Le Gruenwald, The University of Oklahoma, USA, ggruenwald(a)ou.edu - Sarika Jain, National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra, Haryana, India, jasarika(a)nitkkr.ac.in. - Sven Groppe, University of Lübeck, Germany, groppe(a)ifis.uni-luebeck.de Deadlines: Extended Summary: Sep 30, 2020 Notification of Proposal Approval: Oct 20, 2020 Full Chapter Submission: Jan 10, 2020 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
