Lots of thanks for your help! ********************* UIC-07 Call For Papers ************************* The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-07) - Building Smart Worlds in Real and Cyber Spaces - http://www.uic-conference.org/2007/ http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~uic07/ Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007 ********************************************************** Ubiquitous computers, networks and information are paving a road towards a smart world (SW) in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to provide trustworthy and relevant services to people. This ubiquitous intelligence (UI) will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed; the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By embedding digital intelligence in everyday objects, our workplaces, our homes and even ourselves, many tasks and processes could be simplified, made more efficient, safer and more enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, composes these many "smart things/u-things" to create the environments that underpin the smart world. A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the world of ubiquitous computing with universal services of any means/place/time to the smart world of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time. UIC-07 is a successor of the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW-05, Taipei, Mar. 2005), the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence, Smart Worlds (UISW-05, Japan, Dec. 2005) and the 3rd Int'l Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06, Three Gorges, China, Sept. 2006). It offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments, and systems as well as discuss various personal/social/physical issues faced by UI and smart worlds.

Such information gives people a framework for organizing their daily life. Moreover, this information is starting to have a strong influence on governmental policy, and how businesses are managed. A well-functioning society needs technology that can be used to manage this wealth of text-based information. This technology would be able to handle a wide range of tasks: extracting credible information related to a given topic (particularly when the query has returned answers from large documents); organizing this information; clarifying the background, the facts, and the various opinions and the distribution of them, and so on. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion on issues related to information credibility criteria. <Areas of Interest> The workshop will focus on how to evaluate the credibility of information. In particular, contributions will be solicited which address, but are not limited to, the following areas of interest: * Information content analysis for credibility evaluation (topic extraction, opinion analysis, etc.). * Identification and characterization of the sender to enable the user to evaluate their credibility. * Information credibility evaluation based on superficial characteristics of information. * Information credibility evaluation based on reputation. * Information credibility evaluation for user-generated content (blogs, SNSs, etc.). * The relationship between information credibility evaluation and the concepts of trust and credibility. * Sociological aspects of information credibility. * Psychological aspects of information credibility. * Utilization of social networks for information credibility evaluation. * Issues concerning credibility of grassroots/citizen journalism. * Establishing information dissemination processes that promote the dissemination of credible information. <Important Dates> * March 30, 2007 Deadline for paper submissions * April 13, 2007 Notification * April 27, 2007 Deadline for camera-ready versions <Workshop Chairs> Sadao Kurohashi Department of Intelligence Science and Technology Kyoto University Sakyo, Kyoto, 606-8501, Japan kuro (at) i.kyoto-u.ac.jp http://nlp.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kuro/ Kentaro Inui Graduate School of Information Science Nara Institute of Science and Technology Keihanna, Nara, 630-0192, Japan inui (at) is.aist-nara.ac.jp http://cl.aist-nara.ac.jp/~inui/ Yoshikiyo Kato Knowledge Creating Communication Research Center National Institute of Information and Communications Technology 3-5 Hikaridai, Seika, Soraku, Kyoto 619-0289, Japan ykato (at) nict.go.jp http://kc.nict.go.jp/ykato/ <Program Committee> * Kentaro Inui (Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan) * Yoshikiyo Kato (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan) * Sadao Kurohashi (Kyoto University, Japan) * Hang Li (Microsoft Research Asia) * Yutaka Matsuo (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan) * Hisashi Miyamori (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan) * Manabu Okumura (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) * Noboru Sonehara (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) * Hideaki Takeda (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) * Katsumi Tanaka (Kyoto University, Japan) (List not yet complete)
