Call for papers: The 3rd Workshop on the Social Mobile Web

Held in conjunction with ICWSM

July 17-21, 2011 in Barcelona (Spain)

**********************************************************************

The mobile space is evolving at an astonishing rate. At present there are over 5 billion mobile subscribers worldwide and continued advances in handset technology, services and billing models, the mobile web looks set to inspire a new age of anytime, anywhere information access. The world is also witnessing an explosion in social web services. Online social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn continue to experience huge increases in usage, with more and more users seeking novel ways of interacting with their friends and family.

In this workshop, the 3rd in the series, we are interested in the combination of these two exciting research spaces: the social web and the mobile web. The social mobile web is gaining significant momentum at present and we believe that it's going to be a highly influential research area for both industry and academia in the near future. As such this workshop will investigate the current state of the social mobile web. Topics of interest to this workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:

CFP: Social Media and Collaborative Systems for Crisis Management

Posted on 08:45 by Unknown
Social Media and Collaborative Systems for Crisis Management

A Special Issue of ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (ACM TOCHI).

Special issue editors: Starr Roxanne Hiltz (New Jersey Institute of Technology), Paloma Diaz (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), Gloria Mark (University of California, Irvine)

Important Dates (extended deadline)
Deadline for Submissions: March 15, 2011
Reviews Due: April 30, 2011
Author Notification: May 20, 2011
Revised Version Due: August 1, 2011
Special Issue Published: TBD


Overview
Planning and response for large scale disasters usually require the cooperation of many different organizations located in different places. The convergence of information and communication technologies, the growth of the Internet including the mobile Internet, and the advent of technologies known under the general heading of Web 2.0 have all contributed to our ability to collaborate over great distances, both synchronously and asynchronously. Our aim in this special issue is to gather and summarize a set of empirical studies of the design and use of these approaches to support collaboration in crisis management and response, with implications for the design of future systems for crisis management. . Submitted papers should have an HCI and/ or CSCW focus. How might such collaboration technologies help:
• preparation for disasters?
• the crisis management team in their decision making on handling the event?
• the crisis management team in their interactions with a wide range of responders, government bodies, various publics and stakeholders and, of course, the victims and their families?
• all parties build a picture and share information about a developing crisis?
• widen the range of stakeholders who can join fully in handling the crisis and recovery?
• involve communities fully during the recovery phase to rebuild and return to normality?
• communities to work together, alongside but independently of government and non-governmental agencies, to inform and help themselves, co-ordinating citizen-led efforts?
• virtual teams and virtual communities to develop processes and software for emergency management and recovery?

If the paper is based on a study previously appearing in a conference proceedings, it should be substantially revised and expanded from the conference version. The submission should then include a note from the author(s) that points out these changes and additions. All submissions must be through the TOCHI web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tochi. The cover note should also explicitly state that the paper is being submitted for the special issue on Crisis Management.


Special Issue Topics

Papers are invited that provide rich description and/or evaluation of the actual design process and/ or use of novel web based and other systems for collaboration and/or widespread participation in any phase of emergency management, from initial planning and preparedness, through detection, response, and recovery phases. This might include, among others:

• Case studies of user participation/ design research in the design and evolution of such systems.
• Studies of the use by virtual teams or virtual communities or the general public of .social software. (e.g., social networking sites, knowledge gathering systems such as Wikimapia) in emergency management and response, with data collection methods ranging from laboratory experiments or field studies to qualitative case studies.
• Exploration and assessment of any problems that occur when virtual or partially distributed teams or the general public use information technology to coordinate disaster management related tasks, and how can they be resolved.
• Behavioral studies of collaboration which have implications for the use of networking and web technologies in crisis response and management, including experimental studies.
• New approaches and dedicated-platforms supporting virtual teams and collaboration in Crisis Management

CFP: Research-Practice Interaction (RPI): Addressing Engineering Issues (an EICS2011 half-day workshop)

Posted on 10:21 by Unknown
This workshop will bring together researchers and engineering-oriented
practitioners of human-computer interaction to explore the extent to
which difficulties exist between them, and will endeavor to identify the
dimensions of the problems and propose possible solutions. On the one
hand, we will work to articulate factors that may render the research
literature inaccessible or irrelevant to engineers and to suggest
potential improvements and approaches. On the other hand, we will also
strive to learn from researchers how their research could benefit from
engineer input. We invite both practitioners and researchers to submit a
position statement of two to three pages, plus a short bio, by email to
ebuie [at] luminanze [dot] com by 5pm EST on 13 March 2011, to
participate in this half-day workshop. People who participated in the
CHI2010 workshop on RPI are also welcome, because this is a continuing
conversation.

Your position statement should attempt to answer one or more of the following (or related) questions:
• How can the usefulness of research papers be improved to suit engineers of interactive systems?
• How should research be disseminated to engineers?
• What are the barriers that discourage engineers from adopting research findings?
• How can research papers be made more accessible to engineers?
• How can collaboration between the two subcommunities of CHI be enhanced?
• What should students of computer science be taught about HCI research, to prepare them to engineer more usable and effective interactive systems?
• How can we best include engineers in the RPI conversation?

We will select a variety of viewpoints from participants with diverse experience. Participants will have access to all of the accepted position statements in advance, to facilitate preconference discussion and to support the formulation of discussion questions. The organizers will also publish a draft agenda to prepare for the in-depth discussions during the workshop.
Important dates
• Submission deadline – 13 March 2011
• Notification – 3 April 2011
• Final submissions - 29 April 2011
• Workshop – Monday, 13 June 2011, Pisa (Italy)
Organizers
• Elizabeth Buie (Luminanze Consulting, LLC) - ebuie [at] luminanze [dot] com
• Andrea Resmini (University of Borås, Gothenburg IT University) - andrea [dot] resmini [at] hb [dot] se
Please feel free to contact either of the organizers with questions.

CFP: Workshop on Adaptive Support for Team Collaboration, at UMAP 2011

Posted on 08:52 by Unknown
International Workshop on

Adaptive Support for Team Collaboration
---------------------------------------

in conjunction with UMAP 2011,
Girona, Spain, 11-15 July 2011


http://astc2011.ascolla.org

Contents: Motivation – Topics of Interest – Format /
Submission – Important Dates – Organizing
Committee – Programme Committee – Contact


Motivation
----------

The increasing availability of computing and communication
facilities in our environment, along with the resulting ease
with which tasks previously undertaken individually can now
be shared, have given rise to new paradigms of collaboration
that permeate many facets of human activity. Collaborative
learning, co-operative knowledge discovery and maintenance,
argumentative spaces, communities of practice, are only a
few examples of new forms of collaboration enabled and
fostered by recent technological advances. These have been
trialled and explored in domains such as scientific
research, medical diagnosis and trials, innovative learning
environments, business analytics, and collaborative
environments.

Despite the increased attention this area is receiving,
research in adaptive support for collaboration is still
unsystematic, and is carried out mainly on "technological
terms". Little input is received from the Social Sciences
-that have a wealth of foundational wisdom to offer in terms
of how groups, teams and communities collaborate-, and
experiments are usually constrained to the application
domain of collaborative learning. Although there exist
obvious connections to issues examined in "neighbouring"
research fields, such as applications of collaborative
filtering, adaptive social software, etc., the requirements
of adaptive support for collaboration are quite distinct and
relate to the very nature of collaboration (the existence of
a team as a cohesive social entity, the fact that there is
often a specific set of concrete and temporally constrained
goals underlying the collaboration process, the possible
production and use of artefacts around which collaboration
revolves, etc.)

The International Workshop on Adaptive Support for Team
Collaboration (ASTC) 2011 aspires to contribute towards
mitigating these problems by offering a venue for targeted
discussion on adaptive support for collaboration. The
workshop aims to bring together researchers from different
scientific fields and research communities to exchange
experiences and discuss the topic of how collaboration
within teams can be supported through the employment of
adaptivity that is grounded on the characteristics of the
teams and their individual members, their activities (which
are increasingly data-intensive and cognitively complex) and
social bonds.


Topics of Interest
------------------

The workshop will be structured around a number of main
questions, including:
- How can we model teams as entities with their
individual and collective characteristics, social evolution,
maturity, etc?
- What (types of activities) can be monitored during the
collaboration process, and how can their significance be
established?
- What are the types of interventions that may have a
beneficial effect on collaboration?
- What are the possible roles of a system in this
respect?
- What are the effects of the application domain on the
collaboration process, and on the ways in which this can be
supported?
- What social and group processes are important for team
collaboration and how can these be supported using UMAP
techniques?

The list below provides possible topics of interest of this
workshop (other topics directly related to the
aforementioned questions are also welcome):
- Theoretical issues on adaptation methods and techniques
for groups.
- User- and Group- modeling to cater for adaptive system
design.
- Adaptive and intelligent forms of tutoring / scaffolding /
scripting in CSCW/CSCL systems.
- Practical approaches to adaptive collaboration support.
- Methods and tools for the design and implementation of
adaptativity for collaboration.
- Formalization efforts of the adaptive collaborative
learning activity.
- Interaction analysis techniques to inform the adaptable
and flexible behavior of CSCW systems.
- Information extraction from large/multiple datasets to
provide adaptive support for collaboration.
- Adaptive support for collaborative innovation networks
- Methodologies& tools: mixed or new methods, approaches
and tools applied to studying or building collaborative
systems.
- Adaptation in data-intensive Web 2.0 / Social
networking collaboration environments
- Adaptive collaboration systems based on emerging
technologies such as mobile and ubiquitous computing.

CFP: Special Issue on Information Privacy and Trust in Social Media

Posted on 10:16 by Unknown
*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*Special Issue on Information Privacy and Trust in Social Media
ICST Transactions on Security and Safety* (
http://icst.org/security-and-safety/)

The extensive display of personal information by users of social media has
made security and privacy concerns particularly salient. Many Web 2.0
technologies are highly collaborative where collective action with rich data
exchange is the norm. Social media brought the voluntary disclosure of
personal data to the mainstream, thus exposing users' published information
with potential abuse by online crooks, stalkers, bullies, and even by their
friends. The goal of this special issue is to report frontier research
addressing the need for a paradigm shift in understanding and addressing
users' privacy needs in social media. Particular emphases will be put on the
interplay between social and technological issues associated with security,
privacy, and trust in social media with a focus on online social networks.
The issue aims to offer an integrated view of the field by presenting
approaches originating from and drawing upon multiple disciplines.

We welcome research papers that examine technological, conceptual, design,
economic, behavioral, managerial, organizational, and societal aspects of
assuring trust, privacy, and security in social media. Submissions should
describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under
review by another conference or journal. Suggested topics include, but are
not limited to:
- Defining Privacy 2.0 in online social networks,
- Security and privacy challenges and protection mechanisms,
- User mental models and behavioral dynamics,
- User awareness and training,
- Risk identification and assessment.

*Instructions for Authors and Review Process:*
Submitted papers should not be under consideration elsewhere for
publication. The language of the journal is English. Each paper should be
formatted in double spacing with 1-inch margin, single column of no more
than 8,000 words in length. All texts (excluding title and section headings)
must be in 12-point in one of the standard fonts such as Times, Helvetica,
or Courier. References should be included in alphabetical order in the
Reference section of the paper at the end. Submission file formats are PDF
and Microsoft Word. The first page of the paper should include the title and
the abstract. Please do not disclose any author information in the
manuscript. A rigorous peer review process will be arranged. Each paper will
have at least two independent reviewers.

CFP: IJCAI-11 Workshop on Discovering Meaning On the Go in Large & Heterogeneous Data (LHD-11)

Posted on 07:44 by Unknown
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call for papers for LHD-11 workshop at IJCAI-11, July 2011, Barcelona:

Discovering Meaning On the Go in Large& Heterogeneous Data

http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/lhd-11/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An interdisciplinary approach is necessary to discover and match meaning
dynamically in a world of increasingly large data. This workshop aims
to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and government
for interaction and discussion. The workshop will feature:

* A panel discussion representing industrial and governmental input,
entitled "Big Society meets Big Data: Industry and Government
Applications of Mapping Meaning". Panel members will include:
* Peter Mika (Yahoo!)
* Alon Halevy (Google)
* Tom McCutcheon (Dstl)
* (tbc)
* An invited talk from Fausto Giunchglia, discussing the relationship
between social computing and ontology matching;
* Paper and poster presentations;
* Workshop sponsored by: Yahoo! Research, W3C and others

Workshop Description

The problem of semantic alignment - that of two systems failing to
understand one another when their representations are not identical -
occurs in a huge variety of areas: Linked Data, database integration,
e-science, multi-agent systems, information retrieval over structured
data; anywhere, in fact, where semantics or a shared structure are
necessary but centralised control over the schema of the data sources is
undesirable or impractical. Yet this is increasingly a critical problem
in the world of large scale data, particularly as more and more of this
kind of data is available over the Web.

In order to interact successfully in an open and heterogeneous
environment, being able to dynamically and adaptively integrate large
and heterogeneous data from the Web "on the go" is necessary. This may
not be a precise process but a matter of finding a good enough
integration to allow interaction to proceed successfully, even if a
complete solution is impossible.

Considerable success has already been achieved in the field of ontology
matching and merging, but the application of these techniques - often
developed for static environments - to the dynamic integration of
large-scale data has not been well studied.

Presenting the results of such dynamic integration to both end-users and
database administrators - while providing quality assurance and
provenance - is not yet a feature of many deployed systems. To make
matters more difficult, on the Web there are massive amounts of
information available online that could be integrated, but this
information is often chaotically organised, stored in a wide variety of
data-formats, and difficult to interpret.

This area has been of interest in academia for some time, and is
becoming increasingly important in industry and - thanks to open data
efforts and other initiatives - to government as well. The aim of this
workshop is to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and
government who are involved in all aspects of this field: from those
developing, curating and using Linked Data, to those focusing on
matching and merging techniques.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Integration of large and heterogeneous data
* Machine-learning over structured data
* Ontology evolution and dynamics
* Ontology matching and alignment
* Presentation of dynamically integrated data
* Incentives and human computation over structured data and ontologies
* Ranking and search over structured and semi-structured data
* Quality assurance and data-cleansing
* Vocabulary management in Linked Data
* Schema and ontology versioning and provenance
* Background knowledge in matching
* Extensions to knowledge representation languages to better support change
* Inconsistency and missing values in databases and ontologies
* Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation
* Matching for dynamic applications (e.g., p2p, agents, streaming)
* Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications
* Open problems
* Foundational issues
Applications and evaluations on data-sources that are from the Web and
Linked Data are particularly encouraged.

Submission

LHD-11 invites submissions of both full length papers of no more than 6
pages and position papers of 1-3 pages. Authors of full-papers which are
considered to be both of a high quality and of broad interest to most
attendees will be invited to give full presentations; authors of more
position papers will be invited to participate in "group panels" and in
a poster session.

All accepted papers (both position and full length papers) will be
published as part of the IJCAI workshop proceedings, and will be
available online from the workshop website. After the workshop, we will
be publishing a special issue of the Artificial Intelligence Review and
authors of the best quality submissions will be invited to submit
extended versions of their papers (subject to the overall standard of
submissions being appropriately high).

All contributions should be in pdf format and should be uploaded via
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lhd11. Authors should follow
the IJCAI author instructions
http://ijcai-11.iiia.csic.es/calls/formatting_instructions.

---------------------------------------

A new type of social medium services, which e.g. makes it possible to capture live video and share it in real time to a web page, is becoming increasingly popular. Although the services are growing in numbers of users, it is still an immature application area and so is the research on this topic.

We invite you to a workshop to investigate the barriers and resources for making video interaction and sharing mobile a successful social media, through discussing topics, such as literacy, collaboration, hybridity, utility and privacy. We aim to connect researchers working with video related research to frame this interesting research field and to foster future collaboration. A concrete outcome of the workshop will be a proposal for a journal special issue on the topic of making mobile broadcasting a successful social media that the organizers will submit to appropriate venues.

TO PARTICIPATE:

Please submit a position paper (2-4 pages in the CHI Extended Abstracts format) related to your experience with respect to the workshop theme in your research practice, to chi11_mobilebroadcasting@mobilelifecentre.org.
