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 Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems (MEDES),previously named "The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems", 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 2016 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 2016 seeks contributions in the following areas: - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Data & Knowledge Management - Computational and Collective Intelligence - Semantic Computing - Big Data - Services - Trust, Security & Privacy - Software Engineering - Internet of Things and Intelligent Web - Internet of People - Cyber Physical Systems - Systems of Systems - Social and Collaborative Platforms - Human-Computer Interaction - Open Source - Applications (Logistics, Energy, Healthcare, Environment, Smart Cities, Digital Humanities, Robotics, etc.) - Complex Systems and Networks 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.

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 interlinking 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 Vienna with more than 280 attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 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. SEMANTiCS 2016 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot topics: * Data Quality Management * Data Science (Data Mining, Machine Learning, Network Analytics) * Semantics on the Web, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org * Corporate Knowledge Graphs * Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies * Economics of Data, Data Services and Data Ecosystems Following the success of previous years, the ?horizontals? (research) and ?verticals? (industries) below are of interest for the conference: Horizontals: * Enterprise Linked Data & Data Integration * Knowledge Discovery & Intelligent Search * Business Models, Governance & Data Strategies * 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 Verticals: * Industry & Engineering * Life Sciences & Health Care * Public Administration * 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 * 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 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 of 1-4 pages 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. All submissions should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting. The layout templates can be found here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The best posters (5-6 papers) will be published in the digital library of the ACM ICP Series. The other papers will be published in the http://ceur-ws.org/. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2016research). Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format. Other formats will not be accepted. For the camera-ready version, the source files (Latex, Word) will also be needed. Submissions will be reviewed by experienced and knowledgeable researchers and practitioners; each submission will receive a detailed feedback.

Linked Data now part of the new data economy and Big Linked Data is gaining in use and traction. Systems are constantly being developed in order to support the booming exchange of data (existing in numerous formats) in the Web and the Enterprise. Linked Data benchmarks can function as valuable tools to objectively depict and illustrate the level of adequacy and thus performance provided by the existing Linked Data systems. This workshop aims to bring together a broad range of attendants interested in benchmarking Linked Data and aims at identifying the specific needs and challenges of the domain in order to foster interdisciplinary collaborations towards attaining these challenges. More specifically the objectives of this workshop are to: create a discussion forum where researchers and industrials can meet and discuss topics related to the performance of Linked Data systems and expose and initiate discussions on best practices, different application needs and scenarios related to Linked Data management. Topics of Interest =============== We welcome contributions presenting experiences with benchmarking Linked Data technologies as well as technical contributions regarding the development of benchmarks for all aspects of the Linked Data/Big Data lifecycle. All domains (e.g., life science, social networks, smart cities, news, digital forensics, e-science and geo-spatial data management) are welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Linked Data benchmarks * Novel benchmarking results * Analysis of existing benchmarks * Novel measures for benchmarking Linked Data * Linked Data benchmark evaluation * Complex benchmarking pipelines * Application of benchmarks in academic/industrial settings * Tools and methodologies for the linked data generation and acquisition, analytics and processing, storage and curation, visualization and data access. This series of workshops are supported by H2020 European Project HOBBIT (Holistic Benchmarking of Big Linked Data), see http://project-hobbit.eu/. Paper Submission =========== The workshop will accept two types of submissions: short papers (8 pages) will be either position papers or describe early works in the area of benchmarking. Long papers (up to 16 pages) will describe benchmarks, benchmarking techniques or benchmarking results along the linked data lifecycle. Details on the submission process can be found at http://project-hobbit.eu/events/blink-2016/ Important Dates: July 7th, 2016: paper submission deadline July 31st 2016: Notifications send to authors August 25th 2016: Camera-ready papers for workshops October 17th or 18th: Workshop Submission Details ============ The workshop is now accepting paper submissions.

The fact that there is a large spectrum of specialized search solutions for broad application fields sometimes fades into the background although these solutions are frequently used. The term vertical search solution should be interpreted in a wide sense. Specialized target groups as well as special domains and search items are only some examples. Also aspects such as web mining, enterprise search, or shop search are relevant. The same holds for searching other media types (images, videos ?). However, the focus should not lie on the description of new image analysis techniques, etc. Of particular interest is the goal-oriented developed and customized search solution motivated from an application context. The presented systems should run live and be outlined in the issue as a holistic system. The issue wants to give an overview on the variety of vertical search solutions and to show how search solutions for concrete tasks can be designed and implemented. For the presented search solution the following aspects should be addressed: ? Description of the concrete problem to solve ? Concept of the applied search solution ? Differences to other search solutions in the same domain ? Experiences with the search solution / evaluation Possible topics for the issue are for example: ? Search solutions for special target groups (children, the elderly ...) ? Search engines for special domains (the arts, medicines ...) ? Hybrid search engines combining web content with database content ? Product search, shop search, expert search, ? Of course, the search systems can use existing frameworks which are innovatively used in the concrete task. Format: 8 pages, two-column; a pure text page has approx. 800 words; (shorter submissions with 4 or 6 pages are also welcome), submissions are welcome in German or English.

What about the upcoming U.S. elections? Who do Google and Facebook want you to vote for? Join us for ASIS&T's first "Meet the Author" event with: Dr. Robert Epstein, Senior Research Psychologist American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology July 21, 2016, 2PM EST. FREE for ASIS&T members; $15 for non-members More details coming up soon. Dr Robert Epstein will discuss the Search Engine Manipulation Effect (or SEME, pronounced seem), which has been replicated in multiple studies with more than 10,000 people in 39 countries. Recent research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows, for example, that search rankings favoring one political candidate can easily shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20 percent or more - by up to 80 percent in some demographic groups. Because many elections are very close, SEME has probably been determining the outcomes of upwards of 25 percent of national elections worldwide for years, and its impact is increasing as Internet penetration continues to grow. Even without deliberate planning by search engine executives, search algorithms are affecting both votes and opinions because of the way they are programmed to favor some search results over others - a process that currently lacks even minimal transparency. Mark your calendars for an exciting conversation on July 21, 2016, 2PM EST.

Message-ID: <014101d1cf92$1209c4e0$361d4ea0$@informatik.uni-kiel.de> Dear colleagues, I received following request from the ASIS&T president?s office: ?I am Nadia's research assistant, and she has put Deborah in charge (and I am assisting her) of creating a user friendly Higher Education career space for ASIS&T's site. Nadia has asked me to contact you because of your knowledge of the European academic job market. Could you please provide us with the easiest way to collect available European academic positions for our site? There may be some language barriers, but as per Nadia's previous email in another thread, we will post untranslated job listings.? Thinking about the request I feel that I do not know anything about job search engines or alike. I would be very grateful if you could help out and point me to appropriate search engines, websites, mailing lists, or alike. I will compile the information and send it to Nadia?s office. We can also publish the list on the European Chapter website (might be a good service).
