URL: From brooke.struck at science-metrix.com Thu Apr 5 00:00:44 2018 From: brooke.struck at science-metrix.com (Brooke Struck) Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 04:00:44 +0000 Subject: [Eurchap] China surpassing US in publications Message-ID: Hello all, Earlier this year, the following Nature headline grabbed a lot of attention: "China declared world's largest producer of scientific articles". Speculation ramped up about factors driving global change in research, how scientific communities in the West should respond, and so forth. Along with these discussions were some questions about the approach to measurement, what influence it might be having on the result, and how we should interpret the finding. Specifically, people highlighted that fractional rather than full counting was used. In this week's blog post, we offer an accessible explanation of these two methods, the differences between them, and what they mean: http://www.sciencemetrics.org/publication-counts/ Over the coming weeks, we'll explore the differences from a number of angles, and this post really lays the foundation. We hope you enjoy the read and that it's useful to inform your reflections on this issue.

Call for Papers Histories of Computing in Eastern Europe IFIP Working Group 9.7 Part of the 24th IFIP World Congress Poznan University of Technology, Poland 19-21 September 2018 Papers are now being accepted for the history of computing workshop at the next IFIP World Computing Congress, which will be held in September 2018. This is not only fifty years after the so-called Garmisch conference coined the phrase software engineering, but also it was at a place that fifty years before barely was thinkable as a conference location because of the Cold War. Both anniversary and location are useful reminders that computing and informatics rely on the international community for innovation. IFIP?s Working Group 9.7, which is dedicated to international histories of computing, is sponsoring a series of papers on 19-21 September to illuminate this important context as part of the IFIP World Congress in Pozna?, Poland. Given the World Congress?s location, we are particularly interested in histories that reflect computing and informatics in eastern Europe. Academic historians and lovers of history, computing and informatics professionals, archivists, museum curators, and others are welcome to submit papers for this workshop. A highlight of the workshop will be a remote demonstration of the Bombe created by Alan Turing that is demonstrated to visitors of The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park in the United Kingdom. The Bombe was used to find the initial settings for the Enigma machines each day. To celebrate the work of the three distinguished Polish cryptographers ? Marian Rejewski, Jerzy R??ycki and Henryk Zygalski ? and the major contribution they made to the reading of Enigma messages throughout the Second World War, a message enciphered using Enigma coding will be transmitted from Pozna? to Bletchley Park and be decoded using the replica Turing Bombe after which a reply will be sent back. As has been the working group's past practice, we request submission of draft papers for consideration. Accepted papers will be revised based on comments from reviewers and be distributed to participants before the workshop to ensure a lively conversation. After the workshop, authors will have the chance to incorporate feedback from the audience before submitting their final papers for consideration in the edited volume of selected papers for the proceedings, which will be published by Springer as a volume in the IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology (IFIP-AICT) series. In order to participate, please submit a draft of your paper via the Springer Online Conference Service. The OCS portal for this workshop is available at https://ocs.springer.com/ocs/home/HCEE2018. More information about OCS and the workshop more generally is available on the working group website (http://ifipwg97.org). Review of draft papers will begin May 1 and continue until June 15. Revised versions of accepted papers will be distributed to conference participants on September 1. Enquires in advance of your submission or questions about Springer OCS may be addressed to the chair of the working group, Chris Leslie (chrisleslienyc at hotmail.com). _______________________________________________ The Air-L at listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listi nfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For example, what language should they use? What communication library or tool should use to enable the communication between processes? Over which platform the algorithm should be implemented and evaluated? What tradeoffs must be taken into consideration, i.e., choose a low-cost (or free) publically available setting with moderate maintenance or an expensive, developer- friendly one? Context is also very important. Some design assumptions might not be feasible nor affordable to be implemented in practice, or certain considerations might be irrelevant. In other words, some important issues in theory, might not be important in practice whereas some practical obstacles deserve more attention and analysis. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together designers and practitioners of distributed systems from both academia and industry to share their point of views and experiences. We solicit submissions describing research results and/or position papers relevant to the topic of interest to ApPLIED. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The process of designing an algorithm to developing a prototype implementation suitable for running on working systems. * Success stories in which the evaluation of (perhaps known) distributed algorithms resulted in further (analytical) insights. * Position papers that consider new directions, opinions and learned lessons. WORKSHOP SUBMISSION AND PRESENTATIONS Two formats will be considered: * A regular paper submission must report on original research that has not been previously or concurrently published; concurrent submissions to journals or conferences are not permitted. A regular submission must not exceed 6 pages excluding cover page and references. Additional necessary details may be included in an appendix which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. However, the paper must be self-contained without the appendices. Regular papers will have 30 minutes for an oral presentation at the workshop. * Short research statements aim at fostering discussion and collaboration. Research statements may summarize research published elsewhere or outline new emerging ideas. These submissions must not exceed 3 pages excluding cover page and references. The material in these short research statements may be published in other conferences. Short research statements will have 15 minutes for an oral presentation at the workshop. Submissions not conforming to these rules and papers outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected without consideration. The authors are responsible to have at least one of the authors registered to the workshop and presenting their work. PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwlDYWxsIGZvciBQYXBlcnM6IEFwUExJRUQgd29ya3Nob3AgaGVsZCBpbiBjb25qdW5jdGlvbiB3aXRoIEFDTSBQT0RDIDIwMTgJMTc1CUxpc3RzCTE2NgljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Dapplied2018 Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines on the workshop web page.

December 2018 Peace Research Institute Oslo Data analysis is normative. Coding, programming and algorithmically interpreting data is always informed by the concepts, ideas, values and affordances of the technologies and people that engage with data. Even if the word data means "given", information becomes socially and politically imbued as soon as it is selected and categorized to make it available for analysis. Such insights are no longer only subject of academic critique, but the normativity of data analysis has by now become integrated into public discourses. In fact, the value of data has created a new market for moral entrepreneurs, who re-frame data analysis as a tool for moral engineering and security politics. At this conference we explore how values, ideas and concepts are not only necessarily embedded in data analysis, but also in what way they are productive and co-create society. Please join our discussion on the many vocations and visions of data analysis in the security domain: These can include overt media manipulation and disinformation, the active sensoring or removal of online contents, the workings of editing algorithms or retweet-robots, the promotion of state-sponsored narratives online, but also the normativity of approaches that seek to "uncover fake news", "fight attacks on the freedom of speech online" or "make the world a more secure place with online data". Together, we discuss the relationship between data analysis, ideas and values by looking at the workings of digital security technologies, data security policies or the security politics of data. The three confirmed keynote speakers are: Miguel Sicart, Associate Professor at the Center for Computer Game Research at IT University Copenhagen, "Playing Data: Understanding the Ludic in the Information Age" Katja de Vries, postdoctoral researcher in Law Science Technology & Society at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, "The coexistence of humans and algorithmic profiling machines" Susanne Krasmann, Professor at the Faculty of Economy and Social Sciences, (Criminology) Hamburg University, "The desire for truth - and the secret of algorithms" The conference will further include a roundtable discussion with representatives from the Norwegian Ministries on "Data & the everyday of security authorities" Please send your papers until the 21st of September to Mareile Kaufmann: markau at prio.no From brooke.struck at science-metrix.com Tue Apr 24 01:00:19 2018 From: brooke.struck at science-metrix.com (Brooke Struck) Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 05:00:19 +0000 Subject: [Eurchap] 1findr platform Message-ID: Greetings everyone, Today, 1science announced the the official launch of 1findr, its platform for research discovery and analytics.

In an effort to increase inclusivity throughout our European chapters, are looking into whether it will be possible to record their remarks for anyone who cannot be there but would like to hear their talks. ASIS&T will be in touch with more details. Thanks, Diane European Chapter Chair Diane M.

Is this an "ASIS&T only" event, or an event attached to another meeting ? Are a place and time available so that one could try and figure out if attendance is possible? Is there an agenda ? In any case it would be useful to circulate in advance a list of topics for discussion so that all members have a chance to express their views, ask questions, etc. A record is useful, but there might be other ways to provide for live interaction.

This is simply a networking reception at which Elaine and I may make a few brief remarks about ASIS&T. It is not a formal meeting with an agenda and, therefore, does not lend itself to virtual participation interactions will primarily be one-on-one. I am not sure if the listserv will allow attachments, but I'm attaching to this email the flyer we are distributing to our contacts in the area. Please feel free to share this widely.
