International Workshop on DETecting and Exploiting Cultural diversiTy on the Social Web (DETECT 2011)

http://detect.uni-koblenz.de/

=======================================================

Extended submission deadline approaching (31 July 2011)

=======================================================

With the constantly increasing reach of the Web in general and Social Media in particular, more and more people of different nationalities, cultures, origins and beliefs contribute and access online information. These differences express themselves in language, habits, behavioural patterns, socio-cultural norms and values. They also strongly influence the way users provide and formulate content as well as the way they request, acquire, interpret and access information. Therefore, the detection and use of cultural differences and diversity will become more and more a key challenge in both, Information Retrieval and Knowledge Management. With our workshop we aim at bringing together researchers and practitioners dealing with inter-cultural, multi-lingual and multi-national information environments in distinct contexts, and discover synergies between their research fields.

DETECT contributions will be published in CIKM'11 Workshop Proceedings and indexed by ACM Digital Library. At least one author per accepted paper is expected to register for CIKM 2011, to attend the DETECT workshop, and to present the contribution in one of the workshop sessions.

Submission FORMAT: ACM two-column Option 2 - max 6 pages for regular papers,
8 pages for extended papers, or 2 pages for position papers, double-blind, PDF only. 

Non-acceptance of your contribution at CIKM 2011 main conference is *not* an exclusion criterion for DETECT. 

Key DATES:

 - 31 July 2011: Workshop Papers Due (extended deadline !!)

 - 05 August 2011: Author notification

 - 12 August 2011: Camera-ready due (hard deadline for publication !!)
