The conference is devoted to the design, development, deployment, and analysis of the complex systems whose behavior is largely determined or controlled by computers. Such systems are characterized by functional, performance, and reliability requirements that mandate the tight integration of information processing and physical processes. ECBS integrates software, hardware, and communication perspective of system engineering through its many facets that include system modeling, requirements specification, simulation, architectures, safety, security, reliability, human-computer interaction, system integration, verification and validation, high performance/parallel computing, cloud-based technologies, and project management. The conference provides a bridge between industry and academia, blending academic research and industrial development. The 5th edition of the conference will be held in Larnaca, Cyprus. Larnaca is known for its palm-tree seafront, the Church of Saint Lazarus, the Hala Sultan Tekke, the Kamares Aqueduct and its medieval fort. It is built on the ruins of ancient Citium, which was the birthplace of Stoic philosopher Zeno. Larnaca is home to the country's primary airport, Larnaca International Airport. It also has a seaport and a marina. Larnaca is a highly touristic city and close to some of the best beaches of Cyprus in Ayia Napa and Protaras. The conference venue is the well known 4* hotel, Lordos Beach Hotel. The Lordos Beach Hotel is one of the leading 4 star hotels in Cyprus. Standing directly on the sandy beach of the Larnaca Bay it is ideally located yet close to both the Larnaca International Airport and the city centre. Set in its own gardens the Lordos Beach boasts a comfortable and stylish environment with professional service from caring staff. Extensively refurbished during 2002 and 2006, the guest rooms on all floors are equipped with all the facilities a discerning traveller expects and are luxuriously decorated in a natural pastel tones.

The impact school is a three-days training programme tailored to up-and-coming researchers that want to learn the skills to maximize their research impact. It responds to the development that in times of digitization, ever-shorter innovation cycles, and increasing doubt in the scientific authority, the question appears what scientist can do to foster knowledge transfer und thus to increase the impact of their research. The sessions will be held by experts in their respective fields and cover the three dimensions societal impact, economic impact, and political impact. The impact school takes place from 29 November to 1 December 2017 at the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin. It is organised by mStats DS GmbH, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), and the ZBW - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics.

Innovations and experiences with open research data infrastructures and repositories. ? Innovative tools and methods for managing, storing, and sharing of research data. ? Best practices and case studies dealing with FAIR research data principles and secondary data use. ? Contributions on current data initiatives such as, for example, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) and others. ? Experiences and empirical studies on the use of open research data by the academic community and on the requirements of the individual researchers. Please submit your English abstract which describes the main idea and the practical relevance, its innovative impact, the pursued strategy for sustainability and openness. The abstracts may not be longer than 500 words. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the members of the programme committee and a review board based on the criteria practical and innovative relevance, sustainability, and openness. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present a poster and a lightning talk at the conference. The abstract, the poster and the lightning talk must be submitted and presented in English.

The programme (http://seminar.udcc.org/2017/programme.php)? is rather academic/research oriented and almost all speakers are lecturers and authors in the field of knowledge organization. (normal fee is 290 EUR - we cannot give free passes as the conference venue in central London is prohibitively expensive and 120 is our cost per head for the catering and proceedings book) Could you please pass this information to whoever may be interested.

The digital form of resources allows for the exploitation of advances in data analytics, semantics, information retrieval, user interaction, profiling and personalization in order to develop new, exciting and stimulating cultural heritage experiences in tourism and education. This special issue aims to form a reference point for the field of personalized delivery of cultural heritage content. We invite works that present and/or review the current state of the art in theory and practice, as well as promising recent advances in the area of aligning the delivery process for cultural heritage content to the needs, goals, characteristics and preferences of individual users and groups of users. The issue is broad in scope, with the caveat that emphasis should be on the link between cultural heritage and personalization techniques; works dealing exclusively with one of the two topics will be deemed out of scope. Topics of interest Semantic modelling for cultural heritage content and their application to personalized content delivery. Advances in knowledge representation. Metadata standards and datasets. Automated reasoning and computational argumentation for personalized explanations and feedback. Personalization/recommendation technologies applied to cultural heritage content. Profiling techniques for individuals, groups and crowds. Context awareness in cultural heritage venues and cities. Applications in cultural, educational or touristic experiences. Personalized storytelling. Adaptive navigation and browsing. Crowdsourcing and crowd computing methodologies, tools and case studies and their application to personalization in Cultural Heritage.

Please see detail below. Best wishes, Sille ------------------------------------------------ Information Ethics Roundtable 2018 Surveillance, Algorithms, and Digital Culture University of Copenhagen, Denmark May 17-18, 2018 Proposals Due: February 5, 2018 Notification of Acceptance: March 5, 2018 Full papers due: April 23, 2018 http://www.ier2018.info/ The 16th annual Information Ethics Roundtable (IER) will explore the interconnections and interdependencies between Surveillance, Algorithms, and Digital Culture that exist in the contemporary information society. Our daily lives and activities take place in digital media; information provision is highly personalized; decision-making is guided (automated) by the use of algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence; personal information is traded on the information market by platforms and data brokers; and surveillance, in many forms, is increasingly pervading both the public-facing and more intimate aspects of our daily lives. In the 2018 edition of IER, we seek proposals that approach these interconnections and interdependencies through the lens of information ethics (writ large, to include those working in multiple fields and with differing methods). The Information Ethics Roundtable (held annually since 2003) is a yearly conference that brings together researchers from disciplines such as philosophy, information science, communications, public administration, anthropology, and law to discuss ethical issues such as information privacy, intellectual property, intellectual freedom, and censorship. Proposals for IER 2018 should be situated within the general field of information ethics (although participants are expected to come from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds) and, ideally, should connect two or more of the following areas of inquiry: - Surveillance, privacy, and/or data protection - Algorithms, machine learning, and/or artificial intelligence (AI) - Digital culture, digital media, social media, and/or other forms of digital media (non-)use *Proposal requirements* We invite two types of proposals: (1) Papers: please submit a 500-word abstract of your paper. If accepted, you are expected to submit a full paper prior to the Roundtable, and you will be presenting the paper at the conference. The paper will not be stored in a public repository or published in proceedings. (2) Panels: please submit a 1500-word description of your panel. The description should include: i) description of the topic, ii) biographies of the panel members, ii) organization of the panel. It is a requirement that panels focus tightly on a specific emergent topic, technology, phenomena, policy, or the like, with clear connections between the presentations. Proposals should be sent to: sille.obelitz at hum.ku.dk Please include the subject line: ?IER 2018 proposal? We are also interested in receiving expressions of interest to serve as a commenter/discussant for another person?s paper, as each author with an accepted paper will be paired with a commenter who will provide formal feedback and comments during the conference (after the initial paper presentation; discussants will be included in the official conference program). Expressions of interest should be sent to: sille.obelitz at hum.ku.dk by April 16, 2018, although decisions will be made on a rolling basis after March 5, 2018 (the paper notification deadline). Please include the subject line: ?IER 2018 commenter.? *Deadlines* Submission of Proposals (papers and panels): Monday February 5, 2018 Notification of Acceptance: Monday March 5, 2018 Full Paper Deadline: Monday April 23, 2018 Registration Deadline: Friday May 4, 2018 Conference Dates: Thursday & Friday May 17-18, 2018 More information on conference website: http://www.ier2018.info/ Sille Obelitz S?e, PhD Post.doc.
