SITIS 2013 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on three main tracks: ****** Track on SIGNAL & IMAGE TECHNOLOGIES (SIT) It focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including:Image Processing and Analysis, Signal processing, Image/Video Coding and Authentication, and Applications ****** TRACK on WEB COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS (WeCA)" It's focus is on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including: Data Semantics,Web-Centric Systems, Big Data, Information System Interoperability, Cloud, Cooperative information and Distributed Systems, and Information security ****** Track on MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND APPLICATION (MIRA) It focuses on emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of multimedia information accessible in distributed computing environment. The internet, social networking, multimedia databases and management of multimedia cultural collections have created the need for cross-fields models, paradigms and techniques for efficient modeling, management and consumption of multimedia contents. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including Multimedia Query and Retrieval; Mobile and Location-Based Media, Social media and Social networking, Multimedia Security, and Multimedia Arts, Entertainment and Digital Culture. Submission and publication The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS-13 invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics listed above. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics.

Thursday 24th October 2013*, British Dental Association, 64 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 8YS, 13.30 ? 18.00, followed by networking, wine and nibbles Information is critical to all businesses today, placing them at significant risk if it is not managed and organized in such a way that it can easily and quickly be found. Using case studies from the private and public sectors and some highly experienced practitioners in the field, this latest ISKO UK event examines the causes, threats and outcomes of poor information management which put organizations at risk, why this is relevant to knowledge organization and what mitigation measures can be put in place. Yasmin Merali, Associate Professor at Warwick Business School, will open the first session by examining the complex nature of today?s information network, the shift in user behaviour and the impact on organizational resilience and robustness. Mark Merifield, Head of Information Management Services at The National Archives looks at the disconnect between our IT environment and business requirements and David Haynes, a highly experienced information manager and PhD student at City University, will draw on recent work within the charity sector to demonstrate some of the knowledge organization approaches used to address information risk in the context of overall organizational change. In the second session, Roger Poole, currently Manager ? Risk Consulting at KPMG LLP and with considerable experience of Global Records Management projects and programmes within the banking sector, describes some of the recent significant changes in approach to information risk within the Financial Services industry, a sector with a very high profile in the news in recent years. He is followed by Christina Somovilla and Aynsley Taylor, who will draw from their own experience at the Financial Ombudsman Service to examine some of the difficulties faced when trying to set policies appropriate to real business need, and to consider how organizing information properly is the best way to mitigate risk. Finally, Noeleen Schenk from Metataxis, a consultant with many years? experience working with clients to ensure effective information management structures are in place, will explain how businesses can use the risk agenda to drive improvements to their information management ? from the identification of their information assets, to their management and organization. The afternoon will end with wine and nibbles and an opportunity to discuss the afternoon event with speakers and colleagues. You will find the programme and other details of the event, and can register until October 20th via the ISKO site . The event is *free* to ISKO members and to full-time students. The fee for non-members is just *?40*. All fees must be paid in advance - there is no provision for payment on arrival. Registration opens at *1.30* and we shall start promptly at 2 p.m. Please pass this invitation on to any colleagues who may be interested. ISKO is a not-for-profit scientific/professional association with the objective of promoting research and communication in the domain of knowledge organization, within the broad field of information science and related disciplines. Founded in 2007, our UK Chapter has been attracting lively and steadily growing audiences to its afternoon meeting series as well as its very successful biennial conferences (see slides and recordings at . Its third conference was held in July 2013 on the theme of "Knowledge organization - pushing the boundaries" . -- Leonard Will From perkintj at miamioh.edu Fri Sep 13 10:48:27 2013 From: perkintj at miamioh.edu (Perkins, Jody) Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 10:48:27 -0400 Subject: [sigCR] Review of new DHCommons taxonomy Message-ID: Dear CR list members, Please see the request for comments below. Although the intended end users of this taxonomy are humanities scholars, members of this community may be able to provide feedback from an IS perspective. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Jody Perkins Digital Scholarship Librarian Center for Digital Scholarship Miami University Oxford, OH 45056 513.529.0135 ------ DARIAH, DiRT, and DHCommons, as a first step in their international effort to produce a registry of digital humanities resources (e.g., projects, people, institutions, methods, tools, educational resources) has produced a draft of a taxonomy of scholarly activities and objects that will act as the back-end to this proposed registry. This taxonomy has been developed for use by more than just our joint project, however, being developed for use by any community-driven site or project that aims to make information relevant to digital humanities more easily discoverable. The taxonomy is expected to be particularly useful to endeavors aiming to collect information on digital humanities tools, methods, projects, or readings. The initial partners that have committed to adopting the taxonomy are DARIAH?s Zotero-based bibliography, the DiRT (Digital Research Tools) directory, and centerNet?s DHCommons project directory. DARIAH-EU has also committed to using this taxonomy as a basis for further development into a more complex ontology of digital scholarly methods, ensuring the continued updating and existence of the work presented here. In order to make this taxonomy as widely useful as possible, we hope to collect broad input from the community. To this end, we are asking you for your input. A draft of the taxonomy exists as a Google Doc here: http://bit.ly/17UsWiU. Anyone with this link can comment on the document. Please leave comments in the document itself, or email the taxonomy coordinators listed at the end of this email. Feedback will be open until Friday, September 27th. After that point, the coordinators will review and incorporate comments, with the goal of putting the taxonomy in place on DiRT, DHCommons, and DARIAH?s Zotero bibliography in early October. This already usable taxonomy will then be further developed into a full-blown ontology by the NeDiMAH project in Europe and maintained beyond that time by DARIAH. We are not trying to produce the mother of all ontologies. Instead, we are trying to produce something that is useful, that can be updated easily, and that will be maintained for many years. If you are interested in having your voice heard in this endeavor, please take a few minutes to read through the document and give us your input. On behalf of all the coordinators in this project, I would like to thank you in advance for your input. Feel free at any time to email any or all of us with any questions you may have.
