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. MEDES 2014 calls for full papers presenting interesting recent results or novel ideas in all areas of Emergent Digital EcoSystems. At the same time, the conference calls for short papers presenting interesting and exciting recent results or novel thought-provoking ideas that are not quite ready, and preferably include a system demonstration. Topics ------- MEDES 2014 seeks contributions in the following areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Green computing 3. Computational and Collective Intelligence 4. Services 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Internet of Things and Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.

Information Seeking in Context (ISIC) 2014 *Pre-Conference Workshop: Design Thinking with Youth* Tuesday, September 2, 2014 Leeds, England *Workshop Leaders:* *Dr. Karen E. Fisher (iSchool, University of Washington, US) * *Dr. Ann P. Bishop (iSchool, University of Illinois, US)* *For further information:* http://isic2014.com/workshops/ Karen Fisher (fisher at uw.edu) *DESIGN THINKING WITH YOUTH* Teen Design Days is an ALA award-winning methodology sponsored by the U.S. Institute for Museum and Library Services and Microsoft Corp. A scalable, portable methodology in which youth innovatively engage with information professionals to address complex social issues, Teen Design Days premises youth as co-designers, co-researchers, and co-participants. Thus, it enables professionals to understand youth information behavior and perspective as well as work with youth to design information systems and services, policy, and new library programs and museum exhibits that reflect critical social needs. The Teen Design Day Workshop addresses participants? local, contextual interests in supporting youth. Workshop leaders draw on examples from the InfoMe (Information Mediaries) Programme with immigrant and refugee youth in the USA, where Teen Design Days explore how youth help other people (elders, strangers) by finding and sharing information about health, transportation, culture, education, etc. This places youth in a unique and critical position as civic actors, not just on their own behalf, but also on behalf of society. The Teen Design Day Methodology gains insight into the InfoMe role and engages youth in co-designing tools that can support it. In the process, youth hone the information, technological, civic, entrepreneurial and other literacy competencies needed to become engaged within their communities. *For video of Teen Design Days, visit http://infome.uw.edu/sample-page/teen-design-days-video/ * Youth participate in Teen Design Days at community centers and libraries where they reflect on their InfoMe behavior using social network mapping, storytelling, images, and dramatic play. Smart phones and other devices and applications, as well as low-tech prototyping using clay, cardboard, paper, wire, fabric, colored pens, etc., are used to devise ways of facilitating teens? current and potential information behaviors using the Design Thinking premise of inspiration-ideation-implementation. Various stakeholders including families, instructors, librarians, community agency staff and funders join in celebrating youths? work and selecting ideas/designs for further development. A key feature of Teen Design Day activities is that they are designed to meet youth developmental needs in 7 areas: physical activity, competence and achievement, self-definition, creative expression, positive social interaction, structure and clear limits?in gender and culturally appropriate ways that emphasize fun. *Workshop Components* - Basics of the Teen Design Day methodology, including theoretical and empirical foundation; - Participation in a Design Thinking exercise; - Hands-on small-group activities to design a draft Teen Design Day curriculum on a topic of choice, i.e., explore ways to adapt the Teen Design Day Methodology in one?s own work; - Discussion of capturing and using data, and addressing institutional barriers; - Presentation of each group?s Teen Design Day draft curriculum, in order to gain feedback. *Participant Outcomes* Workshop participants will: - Become well-versed in the Teen Design Day Methodology; - Create a working/draft curriculum that can be applied to own setting; - Receive copies of activities/exercises used in past TDD work and learn how to adapt them; - Become members of the growing Teen Design Day community of practice, with access to future resources and expertise. The Workshop will enable participants to expand their work through a new multi-disciplinary lens based on Design Thinking, youth development, and information behavior. Researchers, professionals and educators with an interest in youth, information services, technology, and design will find the Workshop highly constructive and rewarding. All participants will receive a Teen Design Day Workshop certificate. ** Fee includes ?TDD Design Thinking? Kit, all materials, lunch and tea. Workshop space is limited. Fisher, K.
