The conference is an interdisciplinary symposium on activism, research and critique in the age of big data capitalism. tripleC supports and helps organising the symposium. Speakers include Antonio Negri, Jodi Dean, Jack Qiu and other leading scholars and theorists that will undoubtedly appeal to tripleC readers engaging with communication, capitalism and critique in their work. The full programme is available here: http://icts-and-society.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/8353%E2%80%B9WIAS_ProgrammeEventA5.pdf To register for the conference, all you need to do is complete the registration form. There is no registration fee. Registration form: http://icts-and-society.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Registration-form-Digital-Objects-Digital-Subjects.docx The conference will engage with the possibilities, potentials, pitfalls, limits, and ideologies of digital activism. It will reflect on whether computational social science, the digital humanities and ubiquitous datafication enable new research approaches or result in a digital positivism that threatens the independence of critical research and brings about the death of the social sciences and humanities. Presenters will explore the futures, places and possibilities of critique in the age of digital subjects and digital objects.

The conference is run in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference. The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by a discussion with senior researchers. ELIGIBILITY We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the DC. SUBMISSIONS To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of graduation. The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogTGFzdCBDYWxsIGZvciBEb2N0b3JhbCBDb25zb3J0aXVtCTk5CUxpc3RzCTE4MgljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fcomputer%2Flncs%3FSGWID%3D0-164-2-793332-0%29 and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogTGFzdCBDYWxsIGZvciBEb2N0b3JhbCBDb25zb3J0aXVtCTk5CUxpc3RzCTE4MgljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcmt3.research.microsoft.com%2FADBISDC2017.

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 2017 seeks contributions in the following areas: - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Data & Knowledge Management - Computational and Collective Intelligence - Semantic Computing - Software ecosystems for software engineering - Big Data - Services - Trust, Security & Privacy - Software Engineering - Internet of Things and Intelligent Web - Cyber Physical 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.

The conference is run in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference. The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by a discussion with senior researchers. ELIGIBILITY We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the DC. SUBMISSIONS To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of graduation. The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogTGFzdCBNaWxlIGZvciBEQyBQYXBlcnMJMTAzCUxpc3RzCTE4MgljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fcomputer%2Flncs%3FSGWID%3D0-164-2-793332-0%29 and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Z29vZ2xlZ3JvdXBzLmNvbSAsCQkJZXVyY2hhcEBhc2lzLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogTGFzdCBNaWxlIGZvciBEQyBQYXBlcnMJMTAzCUxpc3RzCTE4MgljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcmt3.research.microsoft.com%2FADBISDC2017. In case of multiple files, please submit a single compressed file (zip or rar). After logging into CMT, please choose the "ADBIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium" track. REVIEW PROCESS Each paper submitted to the DC will be reviewed by at least two members of the DC program committee and will be judged based on originality, technical merit, presentation quality, and relevance. The authors of successful submissions must take into account the reviewers' comments during the preparation of the final version and describe the changes in a separate document to be submitted together with the final camera-ready version. The program committee reserves the right to reject a paper if the final version does not meet the requirements above. Applications not adhering to the provided guidelines (including page limits) will not be considered. The authors of accepted papers must register to the conference, attend the DC and present their work. PROCEEDINGS The DC papers will be published by Springer, together with the ADBIS workshops proceedings, in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing series. IMPORTANT DATES ?
