-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP PDSEC-22 Workshop -- held in conjunction with IPDPS22 Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2021 07:27:01 +0000 From: Shontz, Suzanne Michelle <shontz(a)ku.edu> To: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> CC: Shontz, Suzanne Michelle <shontz(a)ku.edu> (apologies for cross-postings) The 23nd IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-22) (http://www.ieee-tcsc.org/2022/pdsec/) will be held on May 30, 2022 in Lyon, France in conjunction with IPDPS 2022. Deadline: PDSEC-22 deadline: 21 Jan 2022 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to themanagement of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing (PDC) community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluati ons. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - IFIP 8.6 Working Conference, Dublin, June 2022

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - IFIP 8.6 Working Conference, Dublin, June 2022 Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2021 13:33:29 +0000 From: Yogesh K. Dwivedi <ykdwivedi(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Amany.Elbanna(a)RHUL.ac.uk <Amany.Elbanna(a)rhul.ac.uk>, david wastell <dave_wastell(a)hotmail.com>, Shane McLoughlin <Shane.McLoughlin(a)mu.ie>, Yogesh K. Dwivedi <ykdwivedi(a)gmail.com> *CALL FOR PAPERS* Co-creating for Context in Prospective Transfer & Diffusion of IT *IFIP 8.6 Working Conference, Dublin, June 2022* *Organized by the Innovation Value Institute, Maynooth University, Republic of Ireland.* Since our last call for papers, international events have brought particular emphasis on the inherent and increasing diversity, complexity and uncertainty of context(s) influencing the diffusion of emerging IT. This challenges our academic community to acknowledge and better address such context in our methods, theories and practices of research. Not only are IT artefacts becoming more complex, so too are the environments which they inhabit (Smart homes, Smart City, Industry 4.0, Agriculture 4.0 etc.) and the contexts influencing their use. Key interrelated challenges requiring understanding and solutions include: *technological advances* (e.g. IoT, AI and Blockchain) enabling increasing diversity, volume and fluidity of data flowing amongst actors (technical and non-technical) to create value; *public sentiment and political policies* shifting priorities of research; *IT enabled servitization* delivering new value, markets and market influences; *deepening IT penetration* into various life domains (from governing cities, to transport, housing and farming); and *innovation ecosystems* that enrich, enlarge and intersect with each other (platform based ecosystems, new transport modalities such as driverless cars). The interdisciplinary nature of IS/IT research acknowledges the richness of context, by drawing on diverse research fields (e.g. the humanities, social sciences, engineering and business). The transfer & diffusion of IT innovations depends on numerous actors, factors and contingencies, from conception & development up to scaling, deployment and sustainable use over space and time. Today, more than ever, diverse sources of data, information and knowledge must converge to create new value in practice and new theoretical insight. We view this as *co-creation* in the broadest sense, whereby diverse and relevant actors are identified and contribute to designing new IT artefacts, realising new ‘value-in-use’ and advancing knowledge in academic research. The Conference thus addresses what we may call *co-creating for context*. Recognising the diversity, complexity and uncertainty of context in IT transfer and diffusion, we are interested in contributions that appreciate and showcase how the diversity of actors, their perspectives and related methods, together help unpack context(s) and thus the conditions for effective IT transfer and diffusion. The Conference welcomes any contribution within the general fit of the IFIP 8.6 Working Group, as well as contributions that specifically tackle the conference theme. For example, co-creating with practice in capturing what is happening on the ground and at the precipice of digital transformation; harnessing the collective intelligence of citizens in devising and/or offering solutions, or converging interdisciplinary expertise to gain new or greater insight. The Conference is intended to be a forum for both scholars, practitioners and doctoral students who are interested in exchanging ideas and collaborating with members of the IFIP community around the topic of transfer & diffusion of IT. Research is invited, but not limited to some of the following possible topics: 1) How drawing on diverse & relevant stakeholders (e.g. citizens, businesses, public sector), can advance understanding of context leading to new knowledge. 2) Converging interdisciplinary expertise/knowledge/theory to gain new insight into the context and conditions of IT transfer and diffusion. 3) Converging diverse datasets to gain new insight into the context and conditions of IT transfer and diffusion. 4) Showcasing how methods/theory can represent diverse actors for uncovering new contextual insight (e.g. assemblage theory, complexity theory, actor network theory, system dynamics theory, socio-materiality etc.). 5) Accounting for the level of influence of values and power permeating actors in context. 6) Presenting (multi-level) case studies contextualising the relation between the IT artefact and other actors in the environment that inform conditions of scaling. 7) Ethnographic and longitudinal approaches in accounting for richness and temporality of context. Important Dates, Venue, Participation, Website Paper submission deadline: 31st January 2022 Acceptance notification: 28th February, 2022 Final copy due: 25th March 2022 Conference dates: 14th – 16th June 2022 *Venue:* Grand Lodge of Freemasons of Ireland Library’ Dublin, Ireland.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 21st IFIP Conference I3E2022 Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2021 17:48:00 +0000 From: Savvas Papagiannidis <savvas.papagiannidis(a)newcastle.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 21st IFIP Conference I3E2022 e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society Newcastle upon Tyne, UK - 13/14th of September, 2022 Newcastle University Business School is very excited to host the 21th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society I3E2022 conference. The I3E conference is the flagship of event of WG6.11. This conference has become a continued tradition that attracts quality research and presentations. The conference aims to bring together contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and communities for the advancement of knowledge in the areas of e-business, e-services and e-society.. For more information please visit: https://i3e2022.com/ Submission date: 12th April 2022 The role of digital technologies in shaping the post pandemic world The COVID-19 pandemic is arguably one of the most defining crises our societies have experienced in the past 50 years, both in terms of the global reach, but also its impact on numerous levels. In a very short time SARS-CoV-2 has created havoc across continents, effectively halting social and economic activities. In such unprecedented times individuals and private and public organisations had to respond with unprecedented measures that had a similarly unprecedented impact. The coronavirus scars will be deeply felt for a long time. In such a context information and communication technologies had a vital role to play. Social distancing meant that online applications became critical in ensuring the continuity of personal and business services. An online meme asking “who led the digital transformation of your company” having COVID-19 as the chosen answer perfectly captures the urgency with which existing digital services were extended and new ones were rolled out, often in haste. IT managers had to react quickly to a rapidly escalating crisis and come up with innovative solutions to ensure business continuity. Although everyone is eager to return to “normal”, the post-pandemic 'business as usual' is likely to be different to that individuals and organisations were accustomed to before the pandemic. Understanding the changes that have taken place and their impact in the future is a pressing priority, if we are to thrive in such a turbulent environment. To this end, the IFIP2022 Conference would welcome submissions that aim to offer topical insights in areas of interest.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] [CfP] Sci-K @ The Web Conference 2022 – 2nd International Workshop on Scientific Knowledge Representation, Discovery, and Assessment Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2021 15:45:22 +0100 From: Angelo Salatino <aas88ie(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Angelo Salatino <aas88ie(a)gmail.com> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Sci-K – 2nd International Workshop on Scientific Knowledge Representation, Discovery, and Assessment in conjunction with The Web Conference (WWW) 2022 April 25-29, 2022, Lyon, France (held virtually) web: https://sci-k.github.io <https://sci-k.github.io>, twitter: @scik_workshop Submissions deadline: February 3rd, 2022 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aim and Scope: In the last decades, we have experienced a substantial increase in the volume of published scientific articles and related research objects (e.g., data sets, software packages); a trend that is expected to continue. This opens up fundamental challenges including generating large-scale machine-readable representations of scientific knowledge, making scholarly data discoverable and accessible, and designing reliable and comprehensive metrics to assess scientific impact. The main objective of Sci-K is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to present, educate from, and guide research related to scientific knowledge. Specifically, we foresee three main themes that cover the most important challenges in the field: representation, discoverability, and assessment. Representation. There is an urge for flexible, context-sensitive, fine-grained, and machine-actionable representations of scholarly knowledge that at the same time are structured, interlinked, and semantically rich: Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKGs). These resources can power several data-driven services for navigating, analysing, and making sense of research dynamics. Current challenges are related to the design of ontologies able to conceptualise scholarly knowledge, model its representation, and enable its exchange across different SKGs. Discoverability. It is important that scholarly information is easily findable, discoverable, and visible, so that it can be mined and organised within SKGs. Hence, we need discovery tools able to crawl the Web and identify scholarly data, whether on a publisher’s website or elsewhere – institutional repositories, preprint servers, open-access repositories, and others. This is a particularly challenging endeavour as it requires a deep understanding of both the scholarly communication landscape and the needs of a variety of stakeholders: researchers, publishers, funders, and the general public. Other challenges are related to the discovery and extraction of entities and concepts, integration of information from heterogeneous sources, identification of duplicates, finding connections between entities, and identifying conceptual inconsistencies. Assessment. Due to the continuous growth in the volume of research output, rigorous approaches for the assessment of research impact are now more valuable than ever. In this context, we urge reliable and comprehensive metrics and indicators of the scientific impact and merit of publications, datasets, research institutions, individual researchers, and other relevant entities. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics of Interest: * Representation o Data models for the description of scholarly data and their relationships. o Description and use of provenance information of scientific data. o Integration and interoperability models of different data sources. * Discoverability o Methods for extracting metadata, entities and relationships from scientific data. o Methods for the (semi-)automatic annotation and enhancement of scientific data. o Methods and interfaces for the exploration, retrieval, and visualisation of scholarly data. * Assessment o Novel methods, indicators, and metrics for quality and impact assessment of scientific publications, datasets, software, and other relevant entities based on scholarly data. o Uses of scientific knowledge graphs and citation networks for the facilitation of research assessment. o Studies regarding the characteristics or the evolution of scientific impact or merit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Guidelines: * Full research papers (up to 8 pages for main content) * Short research papers (up to 4 pages for main content) * Vision/Position papers (up to 4 pages for main content) The workshop calls for full research papers (up to 8 pages + 2 pages of appendices + 2 pages of references), describing original work on the listed topics, and short papers (up to 4 pages + 2 pages of appendices + 2 pages of references), on early research results, new results on previously published works, demos, and projects. In accordance with Open Science principles, research papers may also be in the form of data papers and software papers (short or long papers). The former present the motivation and methodology behind the creation of data sets that are of value to the community; e.g., annotated corpora, benchmark collections, training sets. The latter presents software functionality, its value for the community, and its application to a non-specialist reader. To enable reproducibility and peer-review, authors will be requested to share the DOIs of the data sets and the software products described in the articles and thoroughly describe their construction and reuse. The workshop will also call for vision/position papers (up to 4 pages + 2 pages of appendices + 2 pages of references) providing insights towards new or emerging areas, innovative or risky approaches, or emerging applications that will require extensions to the state of the art. These do not have to include results already, but should carefully elaborate about the motivation and the ongoing challenges of the described area. Submissions for review must be in PDF format and must adhere to the ACM template and format. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines, or do not view or print properly, may be rejected without review. The proceedings of the workshops will be published jointly with The Web Conference 2022 proceedings. Submit your contributions following the link: https://sci-k.github.io/2022/#submission <https://sci-k.github.io/2022/#submission> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: * Paper submission: February 1st, 2022 (23:59, AoE timezone) * Notification of acceptance: March 1st, 2022 * Camera-ready due: March 10th, 2022 * Workshop day: April 25th or 26th, 2022 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee (alphabetical order): Paolo Manghi, ISTI-CNR, Italy Andrea Mannocci, ISTI-CNR, Italy Francesco Osborne, The Open University, UK Dimitris Sacharidis, Université Libre De Bruxelles, Belgium Angelo Salatino, The Open University, UK Thanasis Vergoulis, “Athena” RC, Greece -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Fwd: [fai-saso] CfP: 'Lifelike Computing Systems' Special Issue in the Artificial Life journal

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [fai-saso] CfP: 'Lifelike Computing Systems' Special Issue in the Artificial Life journal Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2021 15:39:20 +0000 From: LIFELIKE Computing Systems <lifelikecs(a)protonmail.com> Reply-To: LIFELIKE Computing Systems <lifelikecs(a)protonmail.com> To: fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de <fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de> ** Lifelike Computing Systems ** Special issue of the Artificial Life Journal This special issue will focus on ‘lifelike computing systems’: how we can learn from the study of life and living systems to develop new, practical, and valuable computing systems that possess lifelike properties. * Submission, Timeline & Review Process * Accepted papers will be published by MIT Press in a special issue of the Artificial Life journal. Expression of Interest: 1 December 2021 (optional, but helps the review process) Paper Submission Deadline: 31 March 2022 Initial Reviews Returned by: 31 July 2022 Anticipated Publication Date: Spring 2023 Please submit your expressions of interest and manuscripts by email to lifelikecs(a)protonmail.com. All submissions will receive a minimum of two reviews, with at least one reviewer from an ALife background and another reviewer with an engineering or systems background. * What are Lifelike Computing Systems? * The Lifelike Computing Systems initiative [1] aims to learn from the study of life and living systems to develop new, practical, computing systems that possess ‘lifelike' properties; a further goal is to identify when such complex features are of particular value to people, society, and the world. The initiative's focus lies primarily on engineered technological systems broadly within the domain of computing. The notion of ‘lifelike computing’ [2] is not intended to separate itself from or replace previous initiatives; in a large number of cases, there are already technologies and research efforts that strongly lean towards lifelike computing systems in specific aspects. Building on a long and highly successful tradition in biologically-inspired computing, the ‘lifelike’ vision not only seeks inspiration in the living world, but also seeks to replicate its qualities explicitly in technological systems. Indeed, we cannot claim that all bio-inspired systems remain lifelike, nor has this in-general even always a desirable outcome for those designing bio-inspired systems. The agenda also goes beyond fundamental ALife research, often rightly exploratory in nature, since it focuses explicitly on building purposeful and reliable technological systems for people, based on ALife principles. Therefore, the vision of explicit replication of lifelike qualities in technological systems of value to humanity, marks a sharpening of focus. In this special issue of the Artificial Life journal, we welcome submissions that explore and contribute to the discussion on questions such as: - Which qualities of life are of high relevance and benefit for the engineering of lifelike computing systems useful to people? Why? And how? - How can we integrate and combine insights and methodological approaches from existing, related research initiatives such as cybernetics, self-aware computing, organic computing, or autonomic computing? - Which methods from domains such as artificial life, bio-inspired computing, artificial intelligence, self-adaptive and self-organizing systems contribute to achieving lifelike features of computing systems? - When is more ‘lifelike’ technology appropriate? What are the challenges associated with embedding technology that is more ‘lifelike’ in society? How can these be tackled? We welcome contributions of interest to theoreticians and practitioners alike, as well as those that showcase how technological systems can implement the various approaches and insights from research on artificial life, and how and when these artificial life principles can support better technology for people. Fully novel contributions, as well as significantly extended versions of papers from the broader ALife community are welcome.
