Conference Themes The overarching conference theme is 'mLearning and Design for Social Change and Innovation'. Higher education institutions are called upon to provide for the competencies and skills that foster design for social change and innovation. In addition, knowledge and skills alliances are encouraged by funding bodies to cultivate, share and disseminate competencies that foster social entrepreneurship and innovation. However, little is known on how mlearning can facilitate this process, how it can contribute towards social change, innovation and entrepreneurship. The topics of interest can go beyond the conference theme, and can include any of the following: ? The development, deployment and implementation of mlearning in the context of social entrepreneurship, innovation and social change ? mLearning as a tool that fosters social change and social entrepreneurship ? Innovations in mlearning theory and pedagogy ? From pilot projects to mainstream implementation: strategies for the deployment of mLearning ? Mobile technology to support open and distance learning ? Mobile technology for teaching and learning support ? Assessment techniques and practices in mLearning ? Design and development of learning material for mLearning ? Learning objects and metadata for mLearning ? Informal and lifelong learning with the aid of mobile technologies ? Challenges for mLearning in developing countries ? Building and implementing mLearning strategies in educational institutions, companies and public sector organisations ? mLearning management systems (mLMSs) ? Computer tablets ? Creating interactive and collaborative mLearning environments ? Future trends in mLearning technology, including the impact of emerging technologies ? Emerging hardware and software for mLearning including wearable technologies ? Location-aware technologies ? Contextual and situated learning ? Augmented reality ? Serious gaming and simulations ? Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous learning Submission Information The conference solicits regular papers (no more than 8 pages), short papers (no more than 4 pages), as well as posters (no more than 2 pages). The Program Committee may require an accepted paper to be adapted into a short paper or poster. All papers must be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template format (see the conference web site for further information). The papers must be original contributions not submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. A submitted contribution should clearly indicate the conference topics it targets. For an accepted contribution to be included in the proceedings, at least one author must register and present the paper at the conference. For further information, see the submission guidelines on the conference web site. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM ICPS and archived in the ACM Digital Library. Important Dates ? Submission Deadline for Conference Papers: 20 July 2017 (firm) ? Accept/Reject Notification for Conference Papers: 28 August 2017 ?

This year, SEMANTiCS features a special Data Science track, which is an opportunity to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in data science and its intersection with Linked Data to present their ideas and discuss the most important scientific, technical and socio-economical challenges of this emerging field. SEMANTiCS 2017 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot topics: *Metadata, Versioning and Data Quality Management *Semantics for Safety, Security & Privacy *Web Semantics, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org *Corporate Knowledge Graphs *Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies *Economics of Data, Data Services and Data Ecosystems Special Track (please check appropriate topic in submission system) *Data Science Following the success of previous years, we welcome any submissions related but not limited to the following ?horizontal? (research) and ?vertical? (industries) topics: Horizontals: *Enterprise Linked Data & Data Integration *Knowledge Discovery & Intelligent Search *Business Models, Governance & Data Strategies *Semantics in Big Data *Text Analytics *Data Portals & Knowledge Visualization *Semantic Information Management *Document Management & Content Management *Terminology, Thesaurus & Ontology Management *Smart Connectivity, Networking & Interlinking *Smart Data & Semantics in IoT *Semantics for IT Safety & Security *Semantic Rules, Policies & Licensing *Community, Social & Societal Aspects Data Science Special Track Horizontals: *Large-Scale Data Processing (stream processing, handling large-scale graphs) *Data Analytics (Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, Network Analytics) *Communicating Data (Data Visualization, UX & Interaction Design, Crowdsourcing) *Cross-cutting Issues (Ethics, Privacy, Security, Provenance) Verticals: *Industry & Engineering *Life Sciences & Health Care *Public Administration *e-Science *Digital Humanities *Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums (GLAM) *Education & eLearning *Media & Data Journalism *Publishing, Marketing & Advertising *Tourism & Recreation *Financial & Insurance Industry *Telecommunication & Mobile Services *Sustainable Development: Climate, Water, Air, Ecology *Energy, Smart Homes & Smart Grids *Food, Agriculture & Farming *Safety, Security & Privacy *Transport, Environment & Geospatial Posters & Demos 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. These include submissions on innovative applications with impact on end users such as demos of solutions that users may test or that are yet in the conceptual phase, but are worth discussing, and also applications, use cases or pieces of code that may attract developers and potential research or business partners. This also concerns new data sets made publicly available. 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 and engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering conference participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. Poster and demo submissions should consist of a paper that describe the work, its contribution to the field or novelty aspects. Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in HTML (RASH) in CEUR and, as such, the camera-ready version of the papers will be required in HTML, following the poster and demo guidelines (https://goo.gl/3BEpV7). Papers should be submitted through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2017 and should be less than 2200 words in length (equivalent to 4 pages), including the whole content of the paper. For the initial reviewing phase, authors may submit a PDF version of the paper following any layout. After acceptance, authors are required to submit the camera-ready in HTML (RASH). Submissions will be reviewed by experienced and knowledgeable researchers and practitioners; each submission will receive detailed feedback. For demos, we encourage authors to include links enabling the reviewers to test the application or review the component.

The ADBIS conferences provide an international platform for the presentation of research on database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications. The 21st edition of the conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. Nicosia (or Leukosia) is the largest city on the island of Cyprus. It is the capital and seat of the government of the Republic of Cyprus, and as such is the farthest south-east of all EU member states' capitals. Apart from its legislative and administrative functions, Nicosia has established itself as the island's financial capital and its main international business centre. It is also a centre of culture in Cyprus. The Cyprus Museum in Nicosia is the largest and oldest archaeological museum in Cyprus. In the beautiful old city of Nicosia, the Ethnological Museum is the most important example of urban architecture of the last century of Ottoman domination which survives in old Nicosia. The conference venue is the well known 5* hotel, Hilton Cyprus Hotel. Hilton Cyprus is the only five-star hotel in Nicosia and counts 40 years of operation. Just 35 minutes from Larnaca International Airport, 1 hour and 36 minutes from Paphos International Airport and only 10 minutes walking distance from the city centre, shopping and entertainment areas; conveniently located next to the business district. The hotel's guest facilities and services include a Business Centre, hairdresser & barber, bookshop, bank, taxi and car-hire services and free car-parking facilities. The program of ADBIS 2017 includes keynotes, research papers, thematic workshops, and a Doctoral Consortium. The conference attracted 107 paper submissions from 38 countries from many continents. After rigorous reviewing by the Program Committee, the 26 papers included in the LNCS proceedings volume were accepted as full contributions, making an acceptance rate of 24%.
