Citizens Science is a relatively new field of study that is in
constant development. Despite its young age, it has already been
proven that Citizen Science can be beneficial as much as Classical
Science. There are varied sectors such as scientific research,
science literacy improvement, community services, ecological
knowledge, environmental education, technology and many more are
created for citizen science programs. The main objective is to
contributing data, helping researchers to find solution, and
monitoring the problems and providing solutions. Nevertheless, it
has particular problem: every Citizens Science project uses
databases, which are in turn typically disjunct, disparate,
incomplete, and outdated. However, the monitoring and building
comprehensive up-to-date database is one of the main challenges
for citizen science database. In addition, the lack of user
participation, funding, flexible database design and user-friendly
applications are also other challenges.
Volunteer-based participation of citizens is one of the main
solutions for monitoring databases and collecting data. Similarly,
designing the flexible approaches to collect the data, providing
services to use gathered data in various sectors of science,
designing user friendly design approach for user involvement are
possible solutions considered in citizen science database
programs.
To address some of those concerns if not all the 1st International
Work-shop on Citizen Science Applications and Citizen Data-Bases
(CSADB 2018) is proposed with the aim to provide a platform for
exchanging empirical and theoretical research results about CSADB
problems and solutions.
The list of workshop topics (but not limited to)
* Applications and case studies of citizen sciences stemming from
* Environmental issues
* City Pollution
* Citizens alertness for issues around living environment
* Natural resources protection programs
* Smart Cities
* Ecology
* Natural Disasters alertness (for example forest fires)
* Scientific research
* Science literacy improvement
* Community services
* Ecological knowledge
* Environmental education
* Citizens data gathering principals and scenario models
* Citizens data collection scenarios
* Citizens activities and motivational theories
* Modeling, analytics and design of citizen science applications,
databases, conceptual models
* Systems adaptation according current needs, circumstances and
culture
* Enhancement of database technology and techniques for citizen
science applications
* Data-intensive applications for users based on semantic web
* Collaborative behavior management
* Environmental, privacy and social issues of citizen science
domain
* User requirements and engineering life cycle for citizen science
systems
* User-aware supportive and intelligent systems
* Intelligent responsive systems
* Learning systems based on cognitive modelling and knowledge
integration
* Semantic Web content creation, annotation, and extraction
* Use of common vocabularies for citizen science applications
The aim of the CSADB Workshop is to bring together Computer
Science and information systems experts, and more precisely Data
Scientists, involved in citizen science applications engineering.
The goal is to exchange experiences and view-points in building
state of the art solutions from realizations, challenges, and
reuse, to adapting solutions that have been proposed in other
domains.
Paper submission procedures
Papers will be subject to peer review by at least three members of
an international program committee.
The workshop website
(
https://www.is.informatik.uni-kiel.de/is/veranstaltungen/csadb2018adbis/)
is maintained by Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany
and uses the EasyChair paper submission and review system.
CSADB will include main and short papers into the LNCS proceedings
published by Springer in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and
Computing series. The expected length of the papers are 12 pages
according to the general policy.
For each accepted paper at least one author will have to be
register for the workshop and the conference in order to publish
the paper in the LNCS proceedings.
