With the category of Research Videos, Pervasive 2009 seeks research contributions, future visions, project descriptions, and concepts of pervasive computing technologies, systems and applications. The conference particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of pervasive systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. To be accepted, a video must be of an appropriate length for the content. It must contain no material subject to copyright (i.e., that the authors cannot grant Pervasive 2009 the right to redistribute freely), and must be easily comprehensible to English speakers. Finally, an accepted video must be standalone, i.e., the video itself (with audio soundtrack) must describe the work sufficiently, without requiring the viewer to read the abstract. Videos will be judged primarily on their communication of interesting research content (assuming appropriate technical quality). Each research video must be accompanied by a short paper describing the key research contribution. The paper should be written in a way that it can be understood by readers who have not or will not see the video. + Submission and Review Process Authors MUST submit A URL TO THE VIDEO (NOT THE VIDEO ITSELF!) and a PDF file of the accompanying short paper to pervasive2009video [AT] digitalcity.gr.jp. Videos need to be submitted in mpeg (MPEG1/2) or AVI (MPEG-4) as PAL or NTSC (The final camera-ready version must be submitted as NTSC).

CfP: WWW2009 Workshop on Information Credibility on the Web (WICOW2009)
by Adam Jatowt 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

****CALL FOR PAPERS**** 3rd Workshop on Information Credibility on the Web (WICOW 2009) in conjunction with 18th World Wide Web Conference 2009 April 20 or 21, 2009, Madrid, Spain http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/wicow3 * 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, the growth of the so-called Deep Web and the ubiquity of Internet advertising. * 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 Credibility of Web search results Search models and applications for trustworthy content on the Web Conflicting opinion detection Online media and news credibility Multimedia content credibility Credibility evaluation of user-generated content (e.g., Wikipedia, question answering sites) Information credibility evaluation in social networks and Web 2.0 applications Analysis of information dissemination on the Web (e.g., in blogosphere) 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 and Internet monetization Web spam detection Data consistency and provenance Processing uncertain data and information * KEYNOTE * Title: User Generated Content: How Good it is? Speaker: Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Yahoo! Research) Abstract: See website. * IMPORTANT DATES * February 3, 2009 - Page submission deadline February 26, 2009 - Notification of acceptance March 6, 2009 - Camera ready deadline April 20 or 21, 2009 - Workshop * SUBMISSION * Submissions should be sent in English in PDF format. Papers should adhere to ACM formatting guidelines and be no longer than 8 pages. They must be original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. We encourage also submission of position papers outlining interesting research directions. * ORGANIZATION * Katsumi Tanaka (Kyoto University, Japan) Xiaofang Zhou (University of Queensland, Australia) Adam Jatowt (Kyoto University, Japan) Program Committee: See website. * CONTACT * Adam Jatowt email: adam [at] dl [dot] kuis [dot] kyoto-u [dot] ac [dot] jp phone/fax: +81-75-231-4282
