[What is the Doctoral Consortium?] The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work (i.e., the consortium is not intended for those who are finished or nearly finished with their dissertation). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice in a constructive atmosphere. Students will present and discuss their research in the context of a well-known and established international conference, in a supportive atmosphere with other doctoral students and an international panel of established researchers. The workshop will take place on a single full day (June 21, 2015). A panel of prominent professors and experienced practitioners in the field of digital library research will conduct the workshop. They will review all the submissions and comment on the content of the thesis as well as on the presentation. Students will have 20 minutes to present their research, focusing on the main theme of their thesis, what they have achieved so far and how they plan to continue their work. Another 10 to 20 minutes is reserved for discussion and feedback from both the professors and other participants. In the course of the workshop, students will also get advice on more general questions, e.g., on the differences in Ph.D. studies in different countries. There is no registration fee for doctoral students who are accepted for the Doctoral Consortium. [Call for Papers and Topics] Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should submit an extended abstract describing their Digital Library research. Submissions relating to any aspect of Digital Library research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, including: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and education. To apply for participation at the Doctoral Consortium, please provide an extended abstract of your doctoral work and upload it at the following link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2015. The extended abstract is restricted to 6-8 pages using ACM template. Submissions should be submitted electronically in pdf format. The abstracts should - Clearly formulate the research question, - Identify the significant problems in the field of research, - Summarize the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of the art for solutions, - Clearly present any preliminary research plans and ideas, and the results achieved so far, - Sketch the research methodology that is to be applied, - Describe the expected contributions of the applicant to the research area, and - (For technical research) describe how the research is innovative, novel or extends existing approaches to a problem. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. Workshop participation is limited to 10 Ph.D. students. For further details please contact the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs: - Kazunari Sugiyama (National University of Singapore, sugiyama at comp.nus.edu.sg) - Catherine L. Smith (Kent State University, csmit141 at kent.edu) [Proceedings] Accepted abstracts will be distributed to participants as the workshop proceedings. Participants will be invited to publish a revised version of their papers in a special issue of the TCDL Bulletin, the publication of the IEEE-CS Technical Committee on Digital Libraries.

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 ACM Conference on Management of computational and collective IntElligence in Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) 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. Topics ------- MEDES 2015 seeks contributions in the following areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Green computing 3. Computational and Collective Intelligence 4. Services 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Internet of Things and Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source 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. Workshop Proposal Submission ---------------------------- Proposals for Workshops that examine emerging, innovative, or otherwise provocative issues within the conference area are encouraged. Workshop proposals should include a 1-2 page summary of the topic and the names and affiliations of 3-4 chairs and program committee members who have made a commitment to participate. A mix of industry and academic panel members is recommended. In the page summary, the organizers should present clearly: - the motivation of the workshop and its relatedness to the topics of MEDES 2015, - the specific topics covered and possible application areas, - the reviewing process, and the expected number of participants, - if the same workshop has been organized before in MEDES or related conferences and why its continuation is needed. Special Track Proposal Submission --------------------------------- Special Track proposals for MEDES 2015 should include: - The title and brief technical description of the special track, specifying its goals and motivation. - A brief discussion of why the topic is of particular interest at this time. - A brief description of why and to whom the track is of interest, the special track audience, as well as the expected number of participants. - A list of (potential) members of the program committee (at least 50% have to be known and confirmed at the time of the proposal).
