The Internet and the related technologies have 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. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging application requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. Novel architectures are being proposed to allow resource sharing and distributed processing of linked data and devices. Peer to peer computing, mobile information systems, semantic based applications, linked data systems, Internet of things etc. are a few examples. Topics of interest include, but not limited, to: ---------------------------------------------- * Data semantics * Web-Centric Systems * Semantic Web * Social media and networking * Big Data * Information System Interoperability * Digital Libraries * Cloud Computing * Integrated, Virtualized and Distributed Information Systems * Multimedia and application * Information security * Service Based Systems Submission and publication -------------------------- SITIS'15 WeCa Track invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics listed above. Allsubmitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics. Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes. Extended versions of selected papers will be invited for potential publication journals. Important dates --------------- * Paper Submission (extended): September 21, 2015 * Acceptance/Reject notification: October 15, 2015 * Camera ready: October 22, 2015 * Author registration: October 22, 2015 Track Chairs ------------ Kokou Yetongnon, University of Bourgogne, France Richard Chbeir, University of Pau and Adour Countries, France From announce at dublincore.net Sun Sep 6 17:43:36 2015 From: announce at dublincore.net (DCMI Announce) Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2015 14:43:36 -0700 Subject: [sigCR] DCMI/ASIS&T Joint Webinar: "Implementing Linked Data in Low-Resource Conditions" Message-ID: *********** Please excuse the cross postings *********** *Implementing Linked Data in Low-Resource Conditions* *DCMI/ASIST Joint Webinar* *With Johannes Keizer (UN-FAO) & Caterina Caracciolo (UN-FAO)* *===========================================================* *:: Time:* 10:00am EDT (World Clock: 14:00 UTC http://bit.ly/webinar-keiser) *:: Presenters:* Johannes Keizer & Caterina Caracciolo *:: REVISED DATE:* Wednesday, 9 September 2015 *:: Webinar Website:* http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/DCMI_Handbook/webinars#keizer *:: Free Registration:* https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4753836746115031554 *If you have already registered for the original date/time of this webinar, you do not * * need to re-register*. *===========================================================* *ABOUT THIS [RESCHEDULED] WEBINAR:* Opening up and linking data is becoming a priority for many data producers because of institutional requirements, or to consume data in newer applications, or simply to keep pace with current development. Since 2014, this priority has gaining momentum with the Global Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN). However, typical small and medium-size institutions have to deal with constrained resources, which often hamper their possibilities for making their data publicly available. This webinar will be of interest to any institution seeking ways to publish and curate data in the Linked Data World. Keizer and Caracciolo will provide an overview of bottlenecks that institutions typically face when entering the world of open and linked data, and will provide recommendations on how to proceed. They will also discuss the use of standard and linked vocabularies to produce linked data, especially in the area of agriculture. They will describe AGRISAs, a web-based resource linking agricultural datasets as an example of linked data application resulting from the collaboration of small institutions. They will also mention AgriDrupal, a Drupal distribution that supports the production and consumption of linked datasets. *Redux:* *An update of a webinar first presented in 2013*. *ABOUT THE PRESENTERS:* *Johannes Keizer* has worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN since 1998, primarily as head of the FAO documentation group. The bibliographic database AGRIS and the multilingual concept scheme AGROVOC were completely remodeled under his leadership. In the Office of Knowledge Exchange, Research and Extensions, he heads a staff of 20?the AIMS (Agricultural Information Management Standards and Services) team which provides standards, tools, and advice for FAO stakeholders. The AIMS Team provides the technical backbone for the global Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) Initiative. Through EC framework projects such as NeON, D2Science, and agINFRA, the AIMS Team has channeled the results of innovative European research into the international work of FAO to combat hunger and poverty in the world. *Caterina Caracciolo*, PhD, has served as an Information Specialist at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) since 2006. Currently, she is responsible for the AGROVOC Concept Scheme, and participates in the GACS Working Group and the Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group (RDA). Her main interest lay in the area of semantics for data integration and sharing, with a special focus on data specific to the domains of agriculture, biodiversity, natural science and environment in the broad sense. She regularly serves on program committees for international conferences and publishes in conference proceedings and journals in the area of semantic web and information sharing in agriculture and biodiversity. She has worked in various EC-funded projects and also served as Work Package leader in the NeOn and SemaGrow projects. *Register now for free at* https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4753836746115031554.
