From jlorince at indiana.edu Wed Jan 1 21:47:20 2014 From: jlorince at indiana.edu (Jared Lorince) Date: Wed, 1 Jan 2014 21:47:20 -0500 Subject: [Sighfis-l] ACM Web Science Conference (WebSci'14), June 23-26, 2014 Message-ID: *** Apologies for multiple postings *** CALL FOR PAPERS & CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ACM Web Science Conference (WebSci'14), June 23-26, 2014 Bloomington, Indiana, USA websci14.org / @WebSciConf / #WebSci14 Deadline for papers: Feb. 23rd 2014 Deadline for workshop & tutorial proposals: Jan. 17th 2014 Web Science is the emergent science of the people, organizations, applications, and of policies that shape and are shaped by the Web, the largest informational artifact constructed by humans in history. Web Science embraces the study of the Web as a vast universal information network of people and communities. As such, Web Science includes the study of social networks whose work, expression, and play take place on the Web. The social sciences and computational sciences meet in Web Science and complement one another: Studying human behavior and social interaction contributes to our understanding of the Web, while Web data is transforming how social science is conducted. The Web presents us with a great opportunity as well as an obligation: If we are to ensure the Web benefits humanity we must do our best to understand it. Call for Papers The Web Science conference is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate computer and information sciences, communication, linguistics, sociology, psychology, economics, law, political science, philosophy, digital humanities, and other disciplines in pursuit of an understanding of the Web. This conference is unique in the manner in which it brings these disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue, and we invite papers from all the above disciplines, and in particular those that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Following the success of WebSci'09 in Athens, WebSci'10 in Raleigh, WebSci'11 in Koblenz, WebSci '12 in Evanston, and WebSci'13 in Paris, for the 2014 conference we are seeking papers and posters that describe original research, analysis, and practice in the field of Web Science, as well as work that discusses novel and thought-provoking ideas and works-in-progress. Possible topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: * Analysis of human behavior using social media, mobile devices, and online communities * Methodological challenges of analyzing Web-based * large-scale social interaction * Data-mining and network analysis of the Web and human communities on the Web * Detailed studies of micro-level processes and interactions * on the Web * Collective intelligence, collaborative production, and social computing * Theories and methods for computational social science on the Web * Studies of public health and health-related behavior on the Web * The architecture and philosophy of the Web * The intersection of design and human interaction on the Web * Economics and social innovation on the Web * Governance, democracy, intellectual property, and the commons * Personal data, trust, and privacy * Web and social media research ethics * Studies of Linked Data, the Cloud, and digital eco-systems * Big data and the study of the Web * Web access, literacy, and development * Knowledge, education, and scholarship on and through the Web * People-driven Web technologies, including crowd-sourcing, open data, and new interfaces * Digital humanities * Arts & culture on the Web or engaging audiences using Web resources * Web archiving techniques and scholarly uses of Web archives * New research questions and thought-provoking ideas A separate Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals is on the conference website at: http://www.websci14.org/#call-for-workshop-and-tutorial-proposals Submission Web Science is necessarily a very selective single track conference with a rigorous review process. To accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, we provide three different submission formats: full papers, short papers, and posters. For all types of submissions, inclusion in the ACM DL proceedings will be by default, but not mandatory (opt-out via EasyChair). All accepted research papers (full and short papers) will be presented during the single-track conference. All accepted posters will be given a spot in the single-track lightning talk session, and room to present their papers during a dedicated poster session. Full research papers (5 to 10 pages, ACM double column, 20 mins presentation including Q&A) Full research papers should present new results and original work that has not been previously published. Research papers should present substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Short research papers (up to 5 pages, ACM double column, 15 mins presentation including Q&A) Short research papers should present new results and original work that has not been previously published. Research papers can present preliminary theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Posters (up to 2 pages, ACM double column, lightning talk + poster presentation) Extended abstracts for posters, which should be in English, can be up to 2 pages. Submission instructions Full and short paper and poster submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG proceedings template (WebSci archive format at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Please submit papers using EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=websci2014. Other creative submission formats (flexible formats) Other types of creative submissions are also encouraged, and the exact format and style of presentation are open. Examples might include artistic performances or installations, interactive exhibits, demonstrations, or other creative formats. For these submissions, the proposers should make clear both what they propose to do, and any special requirements they would need to successfully do it (in terms of space, time, technology, etc.) Review The Web Science program committee consists of a program committee that covers all relevant areas of Web Science. Each submission will be refereed by three PC members and one short meta review written by a Co-PC chair, to cover both the research background of each submission as well as the necessary interdisciplinary aspects. (Optional) Archival Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library All accepted papers and posters will by default appear in the Web Science 2014 Conference Proceedings and can also be made available through the ACM Digital Library, in the same length and format of the submission unless indicated otherwise (those wishing not to be indexed and archived can "opt out" of the proceedings). Call for Workshops and Tutorial Proposals The Web Science conference will start with tutorials and workshops that will promote in-depth training and discussions with the goal of understanding how people, organizations, applications, and policies shape and are shaped by the Web. In agreement with the spirit of the conference, the tutorials and workshops are intended to create opportunities for interdisciplinary discussion around themes and methods that are central to the study of the Web. The list of themes includes, but is not restricted to, 1. Methods for data mining and network research; 2. The study of social dynamics (i.e. political campaigns, censorship) using Web data; 3. The relationship between technical design and individual behaviour (i.e. the impact of by-default design on privacy); 4. The future of the Web in an era of increasing mobile applications; 5. The incentives and limits of regulation; 6. Participatory systems and crowdsourcing; 7. The dynamics of information creation (supply) and consumption (demand) and its relation to real world events. We will give priority to proposals that approach their topic from the perspective of various disciplines, spanning the divide between the social and computer sciences. Tutorials and workshops can be designed as half or full day events. Workshops can have a mixture of panel presentations and invited speakers, but presentations should reflect the diversity of approaches that characterize the multidisciplinary nature of Web Science. For more information about chairs, submission, review, deadlines, etc, please see the full call at http://websci14.org/#call-for-workshop-and-tutorial-proposals or contact websci2014ws at easychair.org.
