The Fifteenth International Workshop on
ONTOLOGY MATCHING
(OM-2020)
http://om2020.ontologymatching.org/
November 2nd or 3rd, 2020,
International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop Program,
VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web,
as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks
dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologies
as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of
correspondences between the semantically related entities of those
ontologies.
These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology
merging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation over knowledge
graphs.
Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed
with the matched ontologies to interoperate.
The workshop has three goals:
1.
To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions
to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements.
The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial
and final user needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs.
Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user
representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their
requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology
matching technology is going to evolve, especially with respect to
data interlinking, knowledge graph and web table matching tasks.
2.
To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching
and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through
the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2020 campaign:
http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2020/
3.
To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new
and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching
or knowledge embeddings.
This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions
specifically devoted to: (i) datasets, benchmarks and replication studies,
services, software, methodologies, protocols and measures
(not necessarily related to OAEI), and (ii) application of
the matching technology in real-life scenarios and assessment
of its usefulness to the final users.
TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to:
Business and use cases for matching (e.g., big, open, closed data);
Requirements to matching from specific application scenarios (e.g.,
public sector, homeland security);
Application of matching techniques in real-world scenarios (e.g., in
cloud, with mobile apps);
Formal foundations and frameworks for matching;
Novel matching methods, including link prediction, ontology-based
access;
Matching and knowledge graphs;
Matching and deep learning;
Matching and embeddings;
Matching and big data;
Matching and linked data;
Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them;
Privacy-aware matching;
Process model matching;
Large-scale and efficient matching techniques;
Matcher selection, combination and tuning;
User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects);
Explanations in matching;
Social and collaborative matching;
Uncertainty in matching;
Expressive alignments;
Reasoning with alignments;
Alignment coherence and debugging;
Alignment management;
Matching for traditional applications (e.g., data science);

======================================
8th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT 2020)
September 28-29, 2020, Adelaide, Australia
http://vissoft20.dcc.uchile.cl/
======================================
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is
to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of
approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including
software development practices, evolution, structure, and software
runtime behavior. Software visualization is inherently
interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from information
visualization and computer graphics and applying these in the software
engineering domain.
The VISSOFT conference is a venue for publishing and discussing
research related to software visualization. VISSOFT brings together a
community of researchers from software engineering, information
visualization, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and data
science to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques,
tools, and applications related to the visualization of software.
VISSOFT 2020, co-held with ICSME 2020, encourages a variety of
submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems
using visualization. This includes technical papers, empirical
studies, applications, case studies, and papers that present novel
ideas and tools.
======================================
TOPICS OF INTEREST
- Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for
analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code,
dependencies, repositories, developer social networks such as
StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation,
runtime logs, and DevOps data.
- Visualization to support software development activities,
including design, requirements engineering, program comprehension,
software testing, and debugging.
- Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization.
- Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education.
- Integration of software visualization tools with development
environments.
- Empirical evaluation of software visualizations, including eye
tracking.
- Industrial experience with using software visualization.
- Applications of new technologies to enhance software
visualization, including virtual reality, augmented/mixed reality,
gamification, and artificial intelligence.
- Analytical approaches to understand software-related aspects based
on data science concepts.
We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results.
Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program
committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New
Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a Tool Demonstrations (TD)
track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference
proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library.
======================================
SUBMISSION TYPES
**Technical papers**:
A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature
research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a
technical paper can be at a maximum 10 pages long (including all
figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10 page limit does not
include the bibliography, which is limited by two additional pages.
The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the
paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors
who wish to submit a video can submit the video together with their
paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, otherwise a URL
to the video should be provided.
After the notification, authors can also submit an artifact (tool,
data, model, etc.)
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2020
**NIER/TD Track**:
The NIER/TD Track of VISSOFT accepts two types of contributions: New
Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) and Tool Demonstrations (TD). Both
NIER and TD contributions have a page limit of 5 (including
bibliography).
NIER contributions describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting
results. Authors are encouraged to include open questions and even
provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their research ideas.
A sound evaluation is not required for NIER contributions. One of the
goals of the NIER Track is to foster collaboration among different
research groups.
Tool Demonstrations describe the design or actual utilization of
software visualization tools, with a focus on the architecture of the
tool or its use to gain new insights. During the conference, we will
organize an informal tool demonstration session where authors of TD
papers are requested to demonstrate their tools. The submission may
also contain a link to a screencast (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo) to show
the interaction possibilities offered by the tool.
======================================
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission: June 22, 2020
Technical paper submission: June 26, 2020
NIER/TD paper submission: June 26, 2020

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR the Mini-track
Emerging Issues in e-collaboration Distributed Group Decision-Making:
Opportunities and Challenges<http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/hicss_54.htm>
(Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology track )
HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
(HICSS-54)
Grand Hyatt Kauai
Given the current turbulent state of world economy, outsourcing is
coming under tremendous pressure. Companies are no longer providing
long-term contracts but are renewing them based on deliverables from
outsourced companies. This is putting tremendous pressure on teams to
deliver quality product on time. Team adaptability and team
configuration are becoming crucial to meet deadlines. Teams must be able
to adapt quickly to the changing environment. Agile teams adapt and
deliver quickly and provide maximum customer satisfaction. By
definition, however, agile teams must be co-located. Can distributed
teams be agile and adaptable? This requires careful team configuration.
Distributed teams face many challenges of time, location,
infrastructure, language, customs, socialization and politics. This is
further compounded in globally distributed teams by diversity,
nationality and cultural issues. As old issue are resolved, new
challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such
as information systems, social sciences, international management,
leadership and political science. It is almost impossible for one
individual to have expertise in so many domains, which makes this a very
challenging but ultimately rewarding collaborative area of research.
Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential
to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying
theory and frameworks. The mini track will attempt to accomplish these
objectives.
The mini track will address emerging issue such as diversity, culture,
adaptability and agility related to teams in distributed group decision
making, as well as the underlying theories of group dynamics,
coordination, communications and decision-making in distributed
environments, in creation of competitive advantage.
Examples of topics in the discussion of globally distributed decision
making mini-track will include the following (but are not limited to):
* eCollaboration in distributed teams
* Fake news impact on ecollaboration
* Swift team collaboration
* Sub groups impact on eCollaboration
* Big data collaboration
* E-government(s) inter- , intra-collaboration
* Collaboration through crowdsourcing
* Disaster management in distributed teams
* Delivering health services through collaboration
* Economics of distributed decision making in the clouds
* Trust and distrust as motivator in distributed decision making
* Can agile teams be globally distributed?
* Agile/Adaptable team configuration in globally distributed teams
* The "e (internet)" to "m (mobile)" transformation of globally
distributed teams
* Communication and coordination in globally distributed teams
* Diversity issues in globally distributed teams
* Customer satisfaction, performance and "trust" building in globally
distributed teams
* Synchronous and asynchronous decision making in globally distributed teams
* Comparison of issues across internal, inter-, intra and offshore
distributed teams
* Turbulent economy and its impact on outsourcing
* Models of globally distributed agile/adaptable teams
* Knowledge creation, transfer and integration across globally
distributed teams
* Leadership/cohesiveness issues in globally distributed teams
* Issues related to functional and dysfunctional globally distributed teams
* Security, privacy and risk associated with globally distributed teams
* Case Studies (success/failures) related to decision making by globally
distributed teams

Subject: [computational.science] CVML live Web lectures 9th May 2020:
1) Structure from Motion 2) 2D convolution and correlation algorithms
Date: Mon, 4 May 2020 13:38:19 +0300
From: ioannakoroni(a)csd.auth.gr
To: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org
Dear Computer Vision/Machine Learning/Autonomous Systems students,
engineers, scientists and enthusiasts,
Artificial Intelligence and Information analysis (AIIA) Lab, Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki, Greece is proud to launch the live CVML Web
lecture series
that will cover very important topics Computer vision/machine learning. Two
lectures will take place on Saturday 9th May 2020:
1) Structure from Motion
2) 2D convolution and correlation algorithms
Date/time:
a) Saturday 11:00-12:30 EET (17:00-18:30 Beijing time) for audience in Asia
and will be repeated
b) Saturday 20:00-21:30 EET (13:00-14:30 EST, 10:00-11:30 PST for NY/LA,
respectively) for audience in the Americas.
Registration can be done using the link:
http://icarus.csd.auth.gr/cvml-web-lecture-series/
> From this week onwards, asynchronous access to past CVML live Web lecture
material (video, pdf/ppt) will be allowed. Separate email will be sent for
this option.
Lectures abstract
1) Structure from Motion
Summary: Image-based 3D Shape Reconstruction, Stereo and multiview imaging
principles. Feature extraction and matching. Triangulation and Bundle
Adjustment. Mathematics of structure from motion. UAV image capturing.
Optimal UAV flight trajectory/flight height/viewing angle/image overlap
ratio. Pre/post-processing for 3D reconstruction: flat surface
smoothing/mesh modification/isolated point removal. Structure from motion
applications: 3D face reconstruction from uncalibrated video. 3D landscape
reconstruction. 3D building/monument reconstruction and modeling,
2) 2D convolution and correlation algorithms
Summary: 2D convolutions play an extremely important role in machine
learning, as they form the first layers of Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNNs). They are also very important for computer vision (template matching
through correlation, correlation trackers) and in image processing (image
filtering/denoising/restoration). 3D convolutions are very important for
machine learning (video analysis through CNNs) and for video
filtering/denoising/restoration. 1D convolutions are extensively used in
digital signal processing (filtering/denoising) and analysis (also through
CNNs). Therefore, 2D convolution and correlation algorithms are very
important both for machine learning and for signal/image/video processing
and analysis. As their computational complexity is of the order O(N^4),
their fast execution is a must. This lecture will overview 1D/2D linear and
cyclic convolution. Then it will present their fast execution through FFTs,
resulting in algorithms having computational complexity of the order
O(Nlog2N), O(N^2log2N) for 1D and 2D convolutions respectively. Parallel
block-based 2D convolution/calculation methods will be overviewed. The use
of 2D convolutions in Convolutional Neural Networks will be presented.

University-level undergraduate knowledge of any science or engineering
department (calculus, probabilities, programming, that are typical e.g., in
any ECE, CS, EE undergraduate program). More advanced knowledge (signals
and systems, optimization theory, machine learning) is very helpful but nor
required.

CALL FOR PAPERS: HICSS54 “Collaboration with Cognitive Assistants and
AI” Minitrack (in “Collaboration Systems and Technologies” Track)
*************
MINITRACK DESCRIPTION
In the field of information systems, as well as in the computer science
domain, artificial intelligence (AI) constitutes one of the most rapidly
growing streams of research. This is mainly due to the fact that
technological innovations enable the development of productive AI
solutions (e.g. inherent in cognitive assistants) that provide
compelling benefits in various fields of application.
However, despite the recent advances, we are still far away from a
strong or general AI comparable to a human intelligence, especially when
it comes to intelligence across certain domains or tasks. Therefore, the
importance of the engagement of humans into the decision process of AI
systems is widely acknowledged in research and practice. Although a
considerable amount of exploration regarding such Human-AI-Collaboration
has been conducted, the breadth and scope for dialogue and
experimentation needs to be broadened. This minitrack aims to provide a
place for such dialogue and support of a diverse community interested in
taking the challenge further.
While all submissions should consider aspects of collaboration – the
work of two or more knowledge sources (i.e. human and AI) towards a
common goal -, we welcome all papers that present research in this area,
independent of the centrality and strength of AI, the domain they
address, and the methodology they apply.
Topics to be discussed in this minitrack include (but are not limited
to) the following:
* Generalizable models, methodologies and theories to design and
facilitate Human-AI-Collaboration
* Exemplary use cases in various fields of application that refer to
* collaborative work practices, in which a human actor collaborates with AI
* collaborative work practices, in which AI facilitates human collaboration
* Boundaries and Challenges of Human-AI-Collaboration
* Approaches for a new division of labor (including hand-offs) in
references to the task structure and capabilities of AI and humans
* Decision models for deciding, whether, when and how to access human input
* Strategies to prevent mistakes and shortcomings of individual
collaborators and the noise in the contributions of individual workers
* Effectiveness of Human-AI-Collaboration (e.g. effectiveness of
different training strategies in improving the performance of workers
for accomplishing complex tasks)
* Orchestration of learning (of the AI, from the AI, with the AI), e.g.
human-in-the-loop learning
* Design of incentive structures for Human-AI-Collaboration
* Facilitation of continuous engagement in Human-AI-Collaboration
* User reactions when confronted with an AI collaborator
* Approaches for increasing user acceptance of collaboration systems
with AI components
* Prototypes of Human-AI-Collaboration in various application domains
(e.g. tutoring, service, etc.)
* Legal aspects, usability, explainability or transparency of
Human-AI-Collaboration
* Ethical and philosophical examinations of the common goal in
Human-AI-collaboration

Subject: [AISWorld] Reminder: CFP for ISeB Special Issue on Digital
Inclusion
Date: Mon, 4 May 2020 10:18:24 -0400
From: Kexin Zhao <kzhao2(a)uncc.edu>
To: Contact <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
*Information Systems and e-Business Management*
*Call for Papers: Special Issue of Digital Inclusion*
*(*https://www.springer.com/journal/10257/updates/17696028*)*
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are crucial for
individuals, organizations, and countries to participate in and benefit
from today’s digital economy. However, “digital divide” persists, where the
ability to access and use ICT effectively remains inequitable (Newman et
al. 2017). Increased use of analytics and artificial intelligence has
created new challenges where existing disparities and biases in digital
inclusion are reinforced (Park and Humphry 2019). It is therefore important
to understand this phenomenon of digital inclusion, so as to develop
strategies and tactics to promote and enhance digital inclusion, where
disadvantaged individuals, groups, and communities can have access to, and
the necessary skills to use ICT. Digital inclusion can also help address
broader socioeconomic inequalities (Zaffar et al. 2019). *Information
Systems and e-Business Management* (ISeB) supports such an increasingly
important research area of digital inclusion, and plans to publish a special
issue of high-quality papers devoted to the topic. The aim of this special
issue is to foster research concerning technological, economic, and social
factors that promote and enhance digital inclusion. Topics of interest
include but are not limited to the following:
· Explorations and analysis of levels of digital inclusion and
engagement in various communities
· Factors affecting disadvantaged or underrepresented individuals,
groups, and communities to adopt and effectively use emerging ICT
· Role of technological, market, or policy designs towards
addressing digital disparities
· Implications, social welfare impacts, and consequences of digital
inclusion in developed as well as developing countries. Examples include
empowerment, poverty reduction, and healthcare benefits.
· ICT designs and processes to promote digital inclusion and/or
mitigate digital exclusion
*Submission and Review Process*
Authors must submit the complete manuscripts through ISeB’s
online submission system at https://www.editorialmanager.com/iseb
/default.aspx by July 15th, 2020. Only manuscripts deemed to have a
reasonable chance of acceptance in an accelerated review process will enter
the first round of review. Authors must adhere to a strict schedule for
submission and revision of manuscripts.
· Submission Due: July 15th 2020
· First Round of Editorial Decisions: September 15th 2020
· Revision Due: November 15th 2020
· Second Round of Editorial Decisions: December 15th 2020
· Final Revision Due: January 15th 2021
· Final Decision: February 15th 2021
