Schindel In accounts of identity and making sense of professional roles, time is a linguistic resource that librarians and pharmacists?members of information-rich professions?draw upon. Accounts of time organize narratives of professionalism, make sense of new and evolving roles, frame a profession?s future, and create meaning from the profession?s past. Quand il s?agit d?identit? et de donner un sens ? des r?les professionnels, le temps est une ressource linguistique tr?s utile aux biblioth?caires et aux pharmaciens, deux professions ? forte concentration informationnelle. Le temps racont? met en sc?ne des r?cits sur le professionnalisme, sur les r?les nouveaux et ceux qui ?voluent, cadrent l?avenir d?une profession et cr?ent du sens ? partir du pass? de cette profession. Becoming Librarians, Becoming Teachers: Kairos and Professional Identity / Devenir biblioth?caire, devenir enseignant : Le Kairos et l?identit? professionnelle Emily Drabinski Using kairos as an analytic lens, this article examines debates around the professional role of librarians as teachers as an example of professionalizing discourse. Rather than inexorably leading librarians toward the best way to understand and teach information literacy, kairos surfaces the discourse as being productive instead of the profession itself. Cette ?tude s?appuie sur la notion de kairos comme outil d?analyse pour examiner le d?bat autour du r?le professionnel des biblioth?caires en tant qu?en-seignants, comme exemples de discours de professionnalisation. Plut?t que mener les biblioth?caires inexorablement ? la meilleure fa?on de comprendre et d?enseigner la comp?tence informationnelle, le kairos ?merge du discours comme productif en lieu et place de la profession elle-m?me. Napol?on et l??valuation bibliom?trique de la recherche : Consid?rations sur la r?forme de l?universit? et sur l?action de l?agence nationale d??valuation en Italie / Napoleon and the Bibliometric Evaluation of Research: Considerations on University Reform and the Action of the National Evaluation Agency in Italy Les r?formes de l?Universit? entreprises en Italie ont introduit des innovations dans un appareil administratif napol?onien inadapt? ? les recevoir, g?n?rant ainsi un syst?me institutionnel compl?tement d?s?quilibr?. Le centre de gravit? du syst?me est pass? de l?administration minist?rielle ? l?Agence nationale d??valuation de l?universit? et de la recherche (ANVUR), par l?attribution directe au groupe d??lite choisi par le gouvernement, d?un pouvoir ?norme et sans contrepoids sur la recherche et les universit?s. Une mauvaise conception de la gouvernance de l?ANVUR a d?termin? la r?alisation d?activit?s d??valuation techniquement inad?quates. Les critiques adress?es aux activit?s d??valuation et aux m?thodes bibliom?triques ont r?anim? le d?bat sur la politique de la recherche en Italie, et suscit? l??mergence d?un scientific counterpublic. The academic reforms in Italy have introduced innovations in a Napoleonic administrative apparatus unfit to receive them, thus generating a completely unbalanced institutional system. The system?s center of gravity has moved from the administration by the ministry to the National Agency for the Evaluation of University and Research (ANVUR), assigning directly to the elite group chosen by the government enormous power on research and the universities, without counter-weight. The poor design of the governance of the ANVUR has resulted in the realization of technically inadequate evaluations. Criticism addressed to the evaluation activities and to the bibliometric methods used have revived the debate on research policy in Italy, with the emergence of a scientific counter-public. Open Access in the Developing Regions: Situating the Altercations About Predatory Publishing / L?acc?s libre dans les r?gions en voie de d?veloppement : Situation de la controverse concernant les pratiques d??dition d?loyales W.E. Nwagwu A notable event in the current revolution of the World Wide Web is the open access model of publishing, which promotes freedom of inquiry and full and open availability of scientific information on a global scale. The promise of open access to replace existing scientific information dissemination practices and ethos has been contentious, with the interests of different stakeholders?countries, publishers, and open access activists, among others, clashing on an unprecedented scale. With special reference to the emergence of predatory journals, this article examines some of the challenges that have been triggered by the open access movement. Basically, open access is technology heavy, and its economic arrangements benefit mainly the developed world. There exists evidence of open access initiatives in the Africa region, but these initiatives are mainly individually based and are largely underdeveloped and sometimes predatory. The author argues that what is required now is a regional open access policy that spells out how the issues of right and cost, and others, will be viewed and addressed in the region to ensure that the benefits of open access do not bypass Africa. Un ?v?nement notable dans la r?volution actuelle du web est le mod?le du libre acc?s dans le domaine de l??dition, qui favorise la libert? de la recherche et la disponibilit? pleine et enti?re de l?information scientifique ? l??chelle mondiale. La promesse du libre acc?s de remplacer les pratiques existantes et la philosophie de diffusion de l?information scientifique a fait l?objet de controverses, les int?r?ts des diff?rentes parties prenantes?pays, ?diteurs, militants du libre acc?s, entre autres, s?affrontant sur une ?chelle sans pr?c?dent. Faisant r?f?rence particuli?rement ? l??mergence de revues aux pratiques d?loyales, le pr?sent article examine certains des d?fis qui ont ?t? d?clench?s par le mouvement du libre acc?s. Fondamentalement, le libre acc?s implique une forte composante technologique et ses arrangements ?conomiques profitent essentiellement au monde d?velopp?. Il existe des preuves d?initiatives de libre acc?s en Afrique, mais ces initiatives sont essentiellement des initiatives individuelles, g?n?ralement sous-d?velopp?es, et recourant parfois ? des pratiques d?loyales. L?auteur fait valoir que ce qui est n?cessaire maintenant est une politique de libre acc?s r?gionale pr?cisant la fa?on dont les questions de droit et de co?t, parmi d?autres, doivent ?tre con?ues et abord?es dans cette r?gion afin de s?assurer que l?Afrique ne soit pas exclue des avantages du libre acc?s. The Application of the TOPSIS Method in Selecting the Best Academic Library at the University of Ni? / L?application de la m?thode TOPSIS en vue d?un choix de la meilleure biblioth?que acad?mique de l?Universit? de Ni? Mirjana D. Man?ev Multi-criteria analysis and its methods have become indispensable in the decision making and planning that occurs in all scientific disciplines because they are methodologically consistent, reliable, and easy to use. The main objective of this study is to analyze the quality of the services provided by the libraries at the University of Ni?. To achieve this goal, the author has applied a method of multi-criteria analysis, the so-called TOPSIS method. Using this method, libraries were ranked based on the following criteria: the time required to search the library fund through available electronic databases, the size of the library space, and the size of the library fund available to the users. The research has shown that the library at the Faculty of Medicine, in relation to the given criteria, has the best conditions for the provision of services to its users. The results of this study indicate that the use of this method is justified because it provides an objective solution to the problem of choosing a library providing the highest quality of customer service. L?analyse multicrit?res et ses m?thodes sont devenues indispensables ? la prise de d?cision et ? la planification aujourd?hui dans toutes les disciplines scientifiques, parce qu?elles sont m?thodologiquement coh?rentes, fiables et faciles ? utiliser. L?objectif principal de cette ?tude ?tait d?analyser la qualit? des services fournis par les biblioth?ques de l?Universit? de Ni?. Pour atteindre cet objectif, l?auteur a appliqu? une m?thode d?analyse multicrit?res, la m?thode dite TOPSIS. En utilisant cette m?thode, les biblioth?ques ont ?t? class?es selon les crit?res suivants: le temps n?cessaire pour effectuer des recherches dans le fonds de la biblioth?que en utilisant les bases de donn?es ?lectroniques disponibles sur les ordinateurs, les dimensions spatiales de la biblioth?que et la taille du fonds de la biblioth?que mis ? la disposition des utilisateurs. La recherche a montr? que, selon les crit?res choisis, c?est la biblioth?que de la Facult? de m?decine qui offrait les meilleures conditions pour la prestation de services ? ses utilisateurs. Les r?sultats obtenus par l?application de cette m?thode indiquent que son utilisation est justifi?e par le fait qu?elle apporte une solution objective au probl?me du choix d?une biblioth?que fournissant la meilleure qualit? de service ? sa client?le.

We are generating around 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, which means more than 90% of world data has been created in the last two years alone. With this huge amount of data, that we refer to as Big Data, many challenges and opportunities arise due to the size, heterogeneity, dynamism, and the speed at which this data generated. As we continue to rely on cyber technology and its services, we are facing with the increased risk of cybercrime, cyberterrorism, cyberespionage, and advanced persistent threats where bad actors are rapidly improving their attack techniques and their speed in launching these attacks. In the past, the attackers go through at least three phases before they launch their attacks (probing, constructing and launching attacks). Now, bad actors go directly to launch their attacks in one phase. Furthermore, the number of hackers and attacks are increasing rapidly more than ever before. Cybersecurity analytics for big data with its huge amount of data and its sheer breadth and coverage can provide unprecedented cybersecurity capabilities to proactively monitor, analyze, and mitigate sophisticated and advanced cybersecurity threats and exploitations. We aim developing and deploying the big data cybersecurity analytics to enable NETCOM analysts to integrate and correlate internal events, external events, and all alerts generated from existing cyber monitoring and security tools to obtain full visibility of potential threats against their cyberinfrastructures and their services. The goal of this workshop is to address innovative techniques, metrics, and behavior analysis that can exploit big data analytics capabilities to address the cybersecurity challenges facing cyberspace resources and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Big Data Theory for Cyber Security - Metrics, -Data Aggregation and Correlations of big data sensors * Big Data Visualization for Cybersecurity - Full visibility into the behavior of cyberspace resources and services - Knowledge representation and visualization of behavior of autonomic systems and services * Big Data Cybersecurity Computational Models - Map/Reduce - Data Streaming - Parallel/Distributed Algorithms * Anomaly Behavior Analysis - Data mining, stochastic analysis and prediction - Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) modeling and analysis - Sensor data collectors - Data Science and Analytics in Security Informatics * Human Behavior and Factors in the Security Applications - Privacy, security, trust, and risk in big data - Data integrity, matching, and sharing - Social impact SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION The papers must be formatted in a two-column layout up to 6 pages and must follow the IEEE proceedings format. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and relevance to the broader community. Submitted papers must include original work and may not be under consideration for another workshop, conference or journal during the IWBDAC 2016 review process. Authors should submit their papers electronically following the instructions from the ISI 2016 conference web site (http://www.isi-conf.org/). At least one author for each of the accepted papers is expected to present their work at the workshop. The accepted papers from IWBDAC 2016, ISI 2016 and its affiliated workshops will be published by the IEEE Press in formal Proceedings. IEEE ISI Proceedings are EI-indexed.
