From fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr Thu May 7 12:53:04 2015 From: fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr (IBEKWE-SANJUAN Fidelia) Date: Thu, 07 May 2015 18:53:04 +0200 Subject: [Eurchap] Call for I-Stories: SIG History and Foundations of Information Science In-Reply-To: <554B2477.7030406@univ-amu.fr> References: <554B2477.7030406@univ-amu.fr> Message-ID: <554B9870.6060802@univ-amu.fr> *Reminder*.Please circulate this to your colleagues, students, virtual and physical communities of peers. I'm sure many will have hilarious, funny and witty encounters with information to share. *+++++++ Call for I-Stories **+++++++ ** * ** ** ** ** ** **** *SIG History & Foundations of Information Science * http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGHFIS/ ** Information and communication phenomena are at the heart of our daily lives. They are how we know things and yet our understanding of these concepts and underlying phenomena are at best slippery. Just when we think we?ve pinned or penned them down nicely with a few well chosen phrases, we discover that those phrases are inadequate, that others disagree with our definitions or that many other conceptions abound. Not to bore you with the many varied conceptions of information, the aim of this call for I-Stories is to bring forth, through everyday experience, the many different things information can mean to different people or to the same person in different circumstances in a lively and entertaining manner. The SIG History & Foundations of Information Science solicits stories on how information and its understanding affect our daily lives, be it in work situations, in our private lives, in our research. The stories of information and around information should showcase how effective or ineffective the concept may be, how it can mean different things to different people, how that may have got you into misunderstandings//and how that has got you thinking about information in general. The stories may concern an event, something that happened to you or to someone you know, a talk you heard or involve well known scholars and how they have grappled with this open-ended question. We encourage scholars, practitioners, and especially students to send us a text of at most, 1000 words which can be illustrated with drawings. A jury chosen from SIG HFIS members will choose 5 stories that shed startling, informative and unexpected insights into our understanding of the phenomenon we call information and of the field we call information science/studies. Stories by students will receive particular attention and if selected, their authors will receive a 1 year free membership to ASIST and to HFIS. Membership benefits are varied and can be consulted at http://www.asis.org/. Stories written by practitioners or faculty members if selected will receive a gift card of $30 as well as 1 year free membership to SIG HFIS. Please send your stories to fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr by 30^th may. The jury will render the result of its deliberation by 30^th June.

Submission (Research & Innovation): https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2015postersdemos -------------------- SEMANTiCS Conference -------------------- The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities in areas like knowledge management, technical documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search, document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary management. The success of last year's conference in Leipzig with more than 230 attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2015 will continue a long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world. There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic software systems. The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe. Posters & Demos Track -------------------------------- Posters and Demonstrations Track -------------------------------- The Posters & Demonstrations Track invites innovative work in progress, late-breaking research and innovation results, and smaller contributions in all fields related to the broadly understood Semantic Web. The informal setting of the Posters & Demonstrations Track encourages participants to present innovations to the research community, business users and find new partners or clients. In addition to the business stream, SEMANTiCS 2015 welcomes developer-oriented posters and demos to the new technical stream. The business stream encourages submissions on innovative applications with impact on end users. These include various demos of solutions that users may test or that are yet in the conceptual phase, but are worth discussing. This stream is to encourage feedback, target potential users or establish new partnerships. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering conference participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge on the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. There is no limitation regarding horizontal or vertical domains of the solutions. The technical stream focuses on applications or pieces of code that may attract developers and potential research or business partners. Developers are invited to share libraries or various components they created and that may be applied in various applications for diverse domains. Poster and demo submissions should consist of a paper of 1-4 pages that describe the work, its contribution to the field or novelty aspects. Submissions will be reviewed by experienced and knowledgeable researchers and practitioners; each submission will receive a detailed feedback. For demos, it would be beneficial to include also links enabling the reviewers testing the application or reviewing the component. The 25% best posters (5-6 papers) will be published in the digital library of the ACM ICP Series. These papers should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must be submitted via Easychair as PDF documents (other formats will not be accepted). For the camera-ready version of these papers, we will also need the source files (Latex, Word). The other papers will be published in the http://ceur-ws.org/ and must be formatted in the Springer LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors). Details with formatting instructions will be provided to authors while notifying on acceptance. ---------- Submission ---------- Please submit the papers at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2015postersdemos Poster and Demo Chairs: Agata Filipowska, Department of Information Systems, Poznan University of Economics, Poland Ruben Verborgh, Multimedia Lab, Ghent University - iMinds, Belgium SEMANTiCS 2015 Overall Organisation Committee: Axel Polleres, Conference Chair Tassilo Pellegrini, Conference Chair Christian Dirschl, Industry Chair Sebastian Hellmann, Scientific Chair Josianne Parreira, Scientific Chair Agata Filipowska, Poster and Demo Chair Ruben Verborgh, Poster and Demo Chair Anna Fensel, Workshop Chair From fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr Fri May 15 08:09:44 2015 From: fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr (IBEKWE-SANJUAN Fidelia) Date: Fri, 15 May 2015 14:09:44 +0200 Subject: [Eurchap] Webinar "From ISquares to CSquares": 18th June 2015 Message-ID: <5555E208.7010907@univ-amu.fr> Dear all, This webinar may be of interest to you. ---------------------- *Title*: From I-Squares to C-Squares. Teaching Information and Communication theories using Draw & Write Technique* When*: Thursday, June 18, 2015, 10:00am ? 11:00am (EDT)/. /Sponsored by SIG HFIS ./ /***Presenters*: Jenna Hartel (Uni. Toronto - Canada) & Fidelia Ibekwe-SanJuan (Uni Aix-Marseille, France)*To register*: https://www.asist.org/events/webinars/webinar-from-i-squares-to-c-squares/ _Description_ Information and communication are at the basis of how we know things (epistemology), they are omnipresent in every field of activity. This also makes them very slippery concepts or realities: they often mean different things to different people, hence their exploration is endless. Many of us have grappled with how to convey what we think information and communication mean in our teachings or in our research. Teaching information and communication theories in a pure academic manner can be dead boring. Hence, the idea developed by Jenna Hartel (2013) to use arts-informed technique to approach the different conceptions of Information in a fun and creative way. The current webinar is therefore a follow-up to Jenna Hartel?s webinar of 2014 (https://www.asist.org/events/webinars/isquares/). We applied this arts-informed approach in a French higher education setting and took the experiment further by extending it to the concept of communication. Our webinar reports on how Masters? student in a French School of Journalism and Communication (Aix-Marseille University) perceive the concepts of information and communication. An international I-Square group has been formed and experiments have begun worldwide on conceptions of information using graphic representations (Hartel 2014: http://www.isquares.info/). -------------------------- Hope you can register and participate! best, -- ----------------------------------------------------- Fidelia Ibekwe-SanJuan (Ph.D.) Full Professor (Professeur des Universit?s) School of Journalism & Communication (EJCAM) http://ejcam.univ-amu.fr/ Aix-Marseille University - France.

With the help of the computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative, intelligent and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as big data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of computational and collective IntElligence in Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end.
