Reminder: CFP JCDL 2010 - deadline approaching Jan.25th
by Noriko Kando 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

情報爆発なみなさま NIIの神門典子と申します。電子図書館のもっともメジャーな国際会議であるACMのJoint Conference on Digital Libraries （JCDL 2010）が、6月21-25日にAustoraliaのGold Coarstで開催されます。投稿締め切りまであと1週間となりました。JCDL初のAsia-Oceania 地区での開催です。ぜひ、投稿をご検討いただけましたら幸いです。神門典子 ========================================================== Call for Papers Joint Conference on Digital Libraries JCDL 2010 June 21-25, 2010 Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. http://www.jcdl2010.org Sponsored by ACM SIGIR, ACM SIGWEB, ASIS&T, and IEEE-CS TCDL The ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) is the major international research forum focused on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. JCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term "digital libraries", including (but not limited to) new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, distributing, and evaluating digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. Digital libraries are distinguished from information retrieval systems because they include more types of media, provide additional functionality and services, and include other stages of the information life cycle, from creation through use. Digital libraries can also be viewed as an extension of the services libraries currently provide. The theme of JCDL 2010 is "Digital Libraries - 10 years past, 10 years forward, a 2020 vision-". This theme reflects the fact that the context in which digital libraries were originally conceived has significantly changed in the context of new information models embodied in Web 2.0 and popular social networking applications. In this spirit, we are especially interested in papers that address and demonstrate new models of collaborative, participatory information interaction increasingly ubiquitous in the Web 2.0 context. JCDL 2010 invites submissions of papers and proposals for posters, demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops that will make the conference an exciting and creative event to attend. As always, the conference welcomes contributions from all the fields that intersect to enable Digital Libraries. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Collaborative and participatory information environments - Cyberinfrastructure architectures, applications, and deployments - Data mining/extraction of structure from networked information - Digital library and Web Science curriculum development - Evaluation of online information environments - Impact and evaluation of digital information in education - Information policy and copyright law - Personal digital information management - Retrieval and browsing - Social networks and networked information - Social-technical perspectives of digital information - Studies of human factors in networked information - Systems, algorithms, and models for data preservation - Theoretical models of information interaction and organization - Visualization of large-scale information environments Important Dates All papers are due Monday, January 25, 2010 at 5 PM EST. Demonstration submissions are due Monday, Feb 1, 2010 at 5 PM EST. Tutorial proposals are due Monday, Feb 1, 2010 at 5 PM EST. Poster submissions are due Monday, Feb 8, 2010 at 5 PM EST. Workshop proposals are due Monday, Feb 15, 2010 at 5 PM EST. Notification of acceptance to authors by March 15, 2010. Doctoral consortium abstracts are due Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Submission and Formatting Instructions are available at: http://www.jcdl2010.org/submitformat.php

The general aim of ambient systems is to provide an environment wherein computing devices exist anywhere and everywhere. In such systems mobile and embedded computing devices form ad hoc collaboration using different communication networks (e.g., wireless networks, RFID, etc) in order to share and exchange information and provide services. Ambient systems pose new research challenges due to the open and unreliable nature of the environment and the complexity and heterogeneity of the computing devices and the underlying communication networks. These characteristics challenge traditional techniques and demand new ways of approaching the problems related to the ambient systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit papers to the following research tracks. Details on topics of each track are available at the conference website. - Ambient-oriented Autonomic Networks and Communications - Ambient Systems Software Engineering - Ambient Systems Security and Privacy - Distributed Ambient Artificial Intelligence - Emerging Ambient Networking, Tracking and Sensing Technologies - Multimodal Interfaces for Ambient Systems - Service Oriented Computing for Ambient Systems & Applications - Smart Environments and Applications in Ambient Systems PUBLICATION ------------------- Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the proceedings of Communications in Computer and Information Science series, Springer.

2nd CfP: WWW2010 Workshop on Information Credibility on the Web (WICOW2010)
by Adam Jatowt 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

日本データベース学会の皆様京都大学のアダムヤトフトです。 WWW2010のWorkshop on Information Credibility on the Web (WICOW2010)のCfP をお送りいたします．論文提出の締切は1月25日です．投稿をご検討頂けましたら幸いです． -------------------------------------- ++apologies for cross-posting++ ****2nd CALL FOR PAPERS**** The 4th Workshop on Information Credibility on the Web (WICOW 2010) in conjunction with the 19th World Wide Web Conference 2010 April 27 2010, Raleigh, NC, USA http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/wicow4/ * WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION* As computers and computer networks become more common, a huge amount of information such as that found in Web documents has been accumulated and circulated. Such information gives many people a framework for organizing their private and professional lives. However, in general, the quality control of Web content is insufficient due to low publishing barriers. In result there is a lot of mistaken or unreliable information on the Web that can have detrimental effects on users. This situation calls for technology that would facilitate judging the trustworthiness of content and the quality and accuracy of the information that users encounter on the Web. Such technology should be able to handle a wide range of tasks: extracting credible information related to a given topic, organizing this information, detecting its provenance, clarifying background, facts, and other related opinions and the distribution of them, and so on.

日本データベース学会の皆様 WikiSym2010のCFPです．昨年はOrlando, FL開催でしたが，本年はポーランドはゲダンスク開催です．また，本年はWikimania2010との連続開催です．よろしくご検討ください． WikiSym2010 Publicity Co-Chair (Asia-Pacific) 増永良文青山学院大学社会情報学部 Tel & Fax (042)759-6101（研究室） Tel (042)759-6195（社会情報学研究所） ====== CALL FOR PAPERS ====== W I K I S Y M 2 0 1 0 The International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration http://wikisym.org/ws2010/Call+for+Papers July 7-8-9 in Gdansk, Poland. Co-located with Wikimania 2010 (Intl. Conference on Wikimedia Foundation projects, http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org) Peer-reviewed and archived in the ACM Digital Library. SUMMARY WikiSym, the International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration, will be held this summer in Gdansk, Poland. Starting this year, WikiSym aims to explicitly broaden its scope, exploring not only the thriving wiki community, but also other open movements and open collaboration initiatives. This includes related areas such as open online communities, collaborative creation of multimedia content (with or without wikis), and open journalism and publishing, just to list a few examples. Furthermore, our goal is to establish WikiSym as a venue for the exchange of information, experiences and practices among an interdisciplinary audience, including researchers, practitioners, industry representatives and experts with a wide variety of different backgrounds. As a result, WikiSym has established 3 complementary tracks to merge the contributions from such a diverse community: * Wiki track: Focused on research in wiki technology, wiki websites, wiki communities, and in general any kind of initiative pivoting around wiki software. * Industry track: This new track will focus on the specific needs of enterprises and private companies interested in sharing and promoting their experiences around wikis and open collaboration projects/products/initiatives. * Open collaboration track: This track is a dedicated venue for sharing research results and experiences in initiatives that may not be built specifically on wiki software, but share the "wiki way" of organization. These may include open collaborations, open communities, and open movements that allow the interchange of ideas and contributions from participants with a range of interests and motivations. Research manuscripts may be sent to any of these tracks. However, submitting the same manuscript to more than one track at the same time is not allowed. Therefore, please select the most appropriate track for the topic covered in your manuscript before submitting. IMPORTANT DATES * March 7th: Submission deadline for research papers. * March 21st: Submission deadline for Doctoral Symposium proposals, posters, demonstrations, workshops, panels, tutorials. * May 4th: Notification of acceptance for research papers. * May 11th: Notification of acceptance for Doctoral Symposium proposals, posters, workshops, tutorials, panels. * July 7-9: WikiSym 2010! Given the interdisciplinary nature of wikis and open collaboration initiatives, WikiSym invites contributions in a wide range of fields. TOPICS OF INTEREST: WIKI TRACK * Wiki user experiences, usability, and discourse analysis * Reputation systems and quality assurance processes * Scalability -- social and technical * Wiki technologies and implementations * Translation and multilingual wiki content * Educational applications * Wikis for non-textual media (images, video, audio) * Content dynamics and wiki evolution * Wiki archiving and versioning * Wiki administration: dealing with abuse and resolving conflict * Wikis and the semantic web, knowledge management and tacit knowledge * Wikis for small audiences (departmental and family wikis) * Legal issues (copyright, licensing) * Visualization of wiki structure TOPICS OF INTEREST: INDUSTRY TRACK * Business opportunities around wikis and open collaboration * Best practices to adopt wikis and open collaboration in industry * Information disclosure: practices and experiences * Community building and support * Open publishing and open licensing in the industry * Wikis and open collaboration entrepreneurship * Coopetition: best practices * Interaction and synergies between industries and open communities * Open innovation: strategies and experiences for leaders/followers * Promotion, support and funding of open collaboration initiatives * Knowledge management TOPICS OF INTEREST OPEN COLLABORATION TRACK * Social software for collaboration and work group processes * Open online communities * Technologies for networked collaboration * Social interactions on the web * Open and citizen journalism * Social networks * Collaborative content creation * Distributed development of software * Cooperation for problem resolution * Information disclosure strategies * Open call working environments * Crowdsourcing and information synthesis * Collaborative multimedia collections * Distributed content categorization/tagging * Open publishing * Commons projects and repositories * Distributed selection of content RESEARCH PAPERS Research papers present integrative reviews or original reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical, or in the development or deployment of novel systems. We encourage emphasizing lessons learned and providing a clear concise message to the audience about the relevance of the work. The paper must place your work in context within the field, citing related work and indicating clearly what aspects of the work are new. Research papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee to meet rigorous academic standards of publication. They should be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages (for full papers) or 4 pages (for short papers). Papers will be reviewed both with respect to conceptual quality and clarity of presentation. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference in order to present the paper. Accepted submissions will be published in the WikiSym proceedings and archived in the ACM Digital Library. Submitted papers should use the ACM SIG Proceedings Format, see: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM The Doctoral Symposium is an interactive forum for doctoral students to receive present and discuss their doctoral work. Students who are at least one year away from dissertation completion are invited to submit to the Doctoral Symposium. Students beginning their research are especially invited to attend. To submit a proposal send a 2-3 page description of your dissertation research, including: * A description of your work * The goals---what contributions will your research generate? * The approach---what is being performed to achieve the goals? How will results be validated? Additionally, your adviser must send a brief statement of your dissertation progress to date and a statement of recommendation to the Doctoral Symposium chair. WORKSHOPS Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss and learn about topics that require extended engagement such as new systems, research methods, standards and formats. A workshop should require participants to engage with each other for at least half a day. For shorter sessions, please consider WikiSym's open space format. A workshop proposal should consist of approximately two pages describing what you intend to do and how your session will meet the criteria described above. It should include a concise abstract, proposed time frame (half-day, full-day) and one-paragraph biographies of all people relevant to the submission. Workshop proposals will be reviewed and selected for their interest to the community. Each workshop will be allocated a half-day or a full-day and a room. PANELS Panels provide an interactive forum for bringing together people with interesting points of view to discuss compelling wiki issues. Panels involve participation from both the panelists and audience members in a lively discussion. Proposals for panels should consist of approximately two pages describing what you intend to do and how your session will meet the criteria described above. It should include a concise abstract and one-paragraph biographies of all panelists. A panel submission will be reviewed and selected for their interest to the community. Each panel will be given a 90-minute time slot. POSTERS Poster presentations enable researchers to present late-breaking results, significant work in progress, or work that is best communicated in conversation. WikiSym's lively poster sessions let conference attendees exchange ideas one-on-one with authors, and let authors discuss their work in detail with those attendees most deeply interested in the topic. Poster proposals may describe original research, engineering, or experience reports. Submissions should consist of a two-page extended abstract outlining the content of the poster. Successful applicants will be invited to display a poster, 1x2m in size, at a special plenary session of the Symposium. DEMONSTRATIONS Wikis are intended to be used, and no format is better suited for demonstrating the utility of new wiki research and technology than showing and using it. If you would like to demonstrate new features or products, this is the place! Demonstrations give presenters an opportunity to show running systems and gather feedback. Demo submissions will be reviewed based on their relevance to the community. A submission should be one page in length, with a title and a short description of the demo. The description should include what you plan to demonstrate, what you hope to get out of demoing, and how the audience will benefit. A short note of any special technical requirements may be included. HOW TO SUBMIT Please submit your research papers in PDF format through our research paper submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wikisym2010) For all other papers and proposals, please email the respective chair (see below).
