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.

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. The problem of Web information reliability and Web data quality has become also apparent in the view of the recent emergence of many popular Web 2.0 applications. * TOPICS * The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion on issues related to information credibility criteria and the process of its evaluation. We invite submissions on any aspect of information credibility on the Web. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Information credibility evaluation and its applications - Web content analysis for credibility evaluation - Author’s intent detection - Content quality and credibility in Web archiving - Credibility of Web search results - Search models for trustworthy content on the Web - Conflicting opinion detection - News credibility - Multimedia content credibility - Credibility evaluation of user-generated content (ex. Wikipedia, Q&A) - Information credibility evaluation in social networks - Analysis of information dissemination on the Web - Spatial and temporal aspects in information credibility on the Web - Information credibility theory and fundamentals - Estimation of information age, provenance and validity - Estimation of author’s and publisher’s reputation - Sociological and psychological aspects of information credibility estimation - Users study for information credibility evaluation - Persuasive technologies - Information credibility in online advertising - Web spam detection - Data consistency and provenance - Processing uncertain data and information - Modeling trust on the Web - Credible interaction on the Web - Credibility and trust in e-commerce * KEYNOTE * Speaker: Miriam Metzger (UCSB, USA) * IMPORTANT DATES * January 25, 2010 - Paper submission deadline February 12, 2010 - Notification of acceptance February 19, 2010 - Camera ready deadline April 27, 2010 - Workshop * SUBMISSION * Submissions should be sent in English in PDF format.

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!

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).

Along with the interaction between users and computers, social media are rapidly becoming an important part of our digital experience, ranging from digital textual information to diverse multimedia forms. These aspects and characteristics constitute of the core of second generation of Web. A prominent challenge lies in modeling and mining this vast pool of data to extract, represent and exploit meaningful knowledge and to leverage structures and dynamics of emerging social networks residing in the social media. Social networks and social media mining combines data mining with social computing as a promising direction and offers unique opportunities for developing novel algorithms and tools ranging from text and content mining to link mining. The 1st International Workshop on Social Networks and Social Media Mining on the Web in conjunction with DASFAA 2010 will bring together the academia, researchers and industrial practitioners from computer science, information systems, statistics, sociology, behavior science and organization science discipline, and provide a forum for recent advances in the field of social networks and social media, from the perspectives of data management and mining. We solicit original and high quality submissions addressing all aspects of this field. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Computational models for social media * Query languages for social networks and social media * Query processing and optimization * Influence, trust, and privacy * Search in social networks and social media * Interoperability among social applications and social media * Techniques for social-network and social-media analysis/mining * Adversarial blogging and counter measures * Link analysis and network structure discovery * Community detection and evolution * Blog search and retrieval * Group interaction, collaboration, and recommendation * Knowledge discovery (collective wisdom, trend analysis, and topic detection) * Social aspects of Blogosphere * Human interface and interaction techniques for social media Submission Instruction: Authors are invited to submit electronically original, English-language research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. All accepted papers will be published in a combined volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series published by Springer in the form of conference post-proceedings. At the workshop site, informal on-site proceedings will be handed out as well. All submitted papers should be Springer LNCS camera-ready format.

[CFP] 第17回WI2研究会（締切一週間前）
by Yoshinori Hijikata 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

日本データベース学会の皆様、大阪大学の土方です。2010年3月15日(月)〜16日(火)に大阪大学中之島センター（仮）で行います第17回Webインテリジェンスとインタラクション研究会の発表募集の案内です。申し込み締め切り（2010年01月15日(金)）の一週間前になりましたので、再度アナウンスさせていただきます。たくさんのご発表、お待ちしております。 ============================================================================== 第17回Webインテリジェンスとインタラクション研究会電子情報通信学会 HCG 第2種研究会 (SIG-WI2) 発表募集のご案内 ============================================================================== 電子情報通信学会 Webインテリジェンスとインタラクション研究会では、来たる2010年 03月15日(月)〜16日(火)に、大阪大学中之島センター(大阪市北区)(仮)において、第17 回研究会を開催致します。特別企画は、「ネットワークが創発する知能」と題して、複雑ネットワークに関する招待講演を予定しております。また、今回は通常の研究発表に加え、特別セッションとしてTwitterに関する研究を広く募集します。多数のご投稿をお待ちしています。 Webの果たす役割は進化し続けています。ハイパーリンクドキュメントによる情報公開メディアから、blogやSNS(ソーシャルネットワーキングサービス)などに代表されるコミュニケーションメディア、さらにはユーザデータのみならず様々な端末やセンサー機器から収集されるデータなど実世界へとその領域を広げ、クラウドコンピューティングやアンビエントインテリジェンスに代表されるような人間の社会活動を直接支える『コラボレーションメディア』へと変貌しつつあります。本研究会では、これらの流れを受け、Webをより高度に活用するために重要な、人工知能に代表される知的情報処理技術、Web上の情報リソースに効率的にアクセスするためのデータベース技術、Webからの知識獲得を行うための自然言語処理技術、Web上のコミュニケーションを支えるヒューマンインタフェース技術、およびこれらを融合したシステム設計技術などについて議論する機会を設け、広くWebに関する論文を募集いたします。 ---------------- 開催要領 ---------------- 期日 2010年03年月15日(月)、16日(火) 会場大阪大学中之島センター（仮) (〒530-0005 大阪府大阪市北区中之島4-3-53) http://www.onc.osaka-u.ac.jp/others/map/index.php 参加資格特になし発表申込の締切日 2010年01月15日(金) 原稿提出の締切日 2010年02月12日(金) 申込方法発表題目、著者、所属、代表者連絡先(氏名、住所、TEL、E-mail)、発表種別(ロング発表かショート発表か)を下記の発表申込・問合先へE-mailでお知らせください。 ---------------- 特別企画(招待講演) 「ネットワークが創発する知能」 ---------------- 近年、自然界に存在するネットワークから人工的に組織されたネットワークに至る、様々なネットワークが複雑ネットワーク構造を有していることが分かってきた。これは、そのようなネットワーク構造であることが何らかの意味でその系にとって好ましいということを意味している。例えば、マルチエージェント協調問題において、各エージェントの構造が同じであっても、エージェント間にて構成するネットワーク構造がスケールフリーであることによって、階層構造では発現しないような知的協調効果が創発されるとすれば、まさに「ネットワークが知能を創発させている」と言える。一方、集合知や群知能、Swarm-madeアーキテクチャのように、多数の低機能自律主体の行動から創発する全体的知能に関する研究も盛んであり、ここにおいても各要素が形成するネットワーク構造には重要な意味がある。このような状況の下、国内において複雑ネットワーク研究が特に注目されるようになったのは今から6、7年前といったところである。複雑ネットワーク研究は、コンピュータサイエンス、物理、化学、生物、経済、社会学など様々な分野において横断的に行われており、そのような研究者の交流の場としての研究会なども発足されている。そこで、本セッションでは、国内における複雑ネットワーク研究の現在までの主な研究トピックの流れと、現在議論されているいくつかの研究テーマについて紹介する。講演者(予定)：・栗原聡(大阪大学／JST CREST) ・鳥海不二夫(名古屋大学) ・和泉潔(産業技術総合研究所／JST さきがけ) ・我妻広明 (九州工業大学／理化学研究所) ---------------- 特別セッション「Twitter研究のいま」発表募集 ---------------- Webにおける2009年の重要なトピックとして、Twitterの著しい成長・普及を挙げることができる。Twitterは投稿を最大140文字のテキストに限定し、タイトルがつけられないなど、コミュニケーションツールとしては制約が極めて強い。一方、この制約はひとり言や気軽なつぶやきを誘発し、これまでWebでは得られなかったリアルタイム情報や人々の動向を知る手段として注目を集めている。また、制約を生かした情報の転載方法や記法のルールが急速に発達しており、独特のコミュニティを形成している。機能面ではシンプルな反面、ほぼ全ての機能をAPI経由で利用することができるため、第3者によって多様な派生サービスが展開されている。また、一方向的なフォローの仕組みは、これまで普及してきたブログやSNSとは異なる社会ネットワークを形成していると考えられる。このように、Twitterはさまざまな特性を持っているが故に、ある種捉えどころがないサービスであるとも言える。そこで、今回の研究会では、Twitterに関する研究を広く募集し、Twitterが生み出すコミュニケーションのあり方を議論する。募集分野(例) ・ユーザ統計・コンテンツ分析・フォロー・RTのネットワーク分析・情報推薦・アプリケーション・ユーザインターフェイス・その他、Twitterに関連する研究を広く募集します。 ---------------- 一般講演募集分野 ---------------- (A) テキスト処理関連技術・情報検索、情報抽出、自動要約、質問応答、テキストマイニング (B) 知的Web基盤技術・XML、半構造データ処理、メタデータ構築支援、リンク解析、アノテーション作成支援、セマンティックWeb環境支援、マルチメディア検索 (C) Webインタラクション技術・意思決定支援、パーソナライゼーション、ユーザ行動分析、情報可視化、ソーシャルネットワーク分析、コミュニティ構築支援 (D) その他・Webインテリジェンスとインタラクションに関するテーマ全般 ---------------- 発表種別（一般講演・特別セッション共） ---------------- (1)ロング発表原稿 4ページまたは6 ページ、持ち時間30分(20分発表、10分質疑応答)となります。実験結果などが出揃った分量の多い研究発表は、こちらでお申し込みください。 (2)ショート発表原稿 2 ページ、持ち時間18分(13分発表、5分質疑応答)となります。これからどのような研究をするかを説明するポジションペーパーの発表や、前回の発表からの進捗分の発表、サーベイ報告や、市場調査報告、ユーザアンケートの結果報告、システム開発報告、サービス提案などにご利用ください。 (注意点) それぞれ、会場の都合などにより、持ち時間を短くさせていただくこともありますので、ご了承ください。また、申込み件数が上限に達しましたら、その時点で申込み受付を終了させていただきますので、ご了承ください。 ---------------- 発表申込・問合先 ---------------- 櫻井茂明(株式会社東芝研究開発センター知識メディアラボラトリー) 〒212-8582 神奈川県川崎市幸区小向東芝町1 E-mail: shigeaki.sakurai(a)toshiba.co.jp 主催 Webインテリジェンスとインタラクション研究会 http://www.ieice.org/~wi2/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Associate Professor Yoshinori Hijikata, Ph.D. Division of Systems Science and Applied Informatics Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University Tel: +81-6-6850-6381 Fax: +81-6-6850-6341 E-mail: hijikata(a)sys.es.osaka-u.ac.jp
