From fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr Tue Jun 2 08:55:46 2015 From: fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr (IBEKWE-SANJUAN Fidelia) Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2015 14:55:46 +0200 Subject: [Sighfis-l] Call for I-Stories: SIG History and Foundations of Information Science In-Reply-To: <554B9870.6060802@univ-amu.fr> References: <554B2477.7030406@univ-amu.fr> <554B9870.6060802@univ-amu.fr> Message-ID: <556DA7D2.4010905@univ-amu.fr> *Please note Deadline extension till 15th June* * Reminder*.Please circulate this to your colleagues, students, virtual and physical communities of peers. I'm sure many will have hilarious, funny and witty encounters with information to share. *+++++++ Call for I-Stories **+++++++ ** * ** ** ** ** ** **** *SIG History & Foundations of Information Science * http://www.asis.org/SIG/SIGHFIS/ ** Information and communication phenomena are at the heart of our daily lives. They are how we know things and yet our understanding of these concepts and underlying phenomena are at best slippery. Just when we think we?ve pinned or penned them down nicely with a few well chosen phrases, we discover that those phrases are inadequate, that others disagree with our definitions or that many other conceptions abound. Not to bore you with the many varied conceptions of information, the aim of this call for I-Stories is to bring forth, through everyday experience, the many different things information can mean to different people or to the same person in different circumstances in a lively and entertaining manner. The SIG History & Foundations of Information Science solicits stories on how information and its understanding affect our daily lives, be it in work situations, in our private lives, in our research. The stories of information and around information should showcase how effective or ineffective the concept may be, how it can mean different things to different people, how that may have got you into misunderstandings//and how that has got you thinking about information in general. The stories may concern an event, something that happened to you or to someone you know, a talk you heard or involve well known scholars and how they have grappled with this open-ended question. We encourage scholars, practitioners, and especially students to send us a text of at most, 1000 words which can be illustrated with drawings. A jury chosen from SIG HFIS members will choose 5 stories that shed startling, informative and unexpected insights into our understanding of the phenomenon we call information and of the field we call information science/studies. Stories by students will receive particular attention and if selected, their authors will receive a 1 year free membership to ASIST and to HFIS. Membership benefits are varied and can be consulted at http://www.asis.org/. Stories written by practitioners or faculty members if selected will receive a gift card of $30 as well as 1 year free membership to SIG HFIS. Please send your stories to fidelia.ibekwe-sanjuan at univ-amu.fr by ^15th june. The jury will render the result of its deliberation by 30^th June.

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.

The cause of death was Alzheimers disease. She was president of ADI in 1962 and received the Award of Merit in 1982. She was active in many different aspects of the life of ADI and was perhaps the first member to take a keen interest in the history of ADI and information science. She was a 1944 graduate of Juniata College and attended the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania from 1945-46. She received the MS degree from Drexel Institute in 1946. After a brief time working for the Wistar Institute as a research associate she worked as the librarian at Merck, Sharp and Dohme Labs, from 1949 to 1957, where she began some of her early explorations of machine literature searching using Remington Rand's electronic sorters. This work brought her to the attention of John W. Mauchley, developer of the Univac computer, who hired her to work for him on information retrieval problems from 1958 to 1961. She was a research scientist for the Institute for Advancement of Medical Communications in Philadelphia from 1961 to 1970. From about 1972 to her retirement she was the Director of Libraries at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, a free-lance consultant and part-time teacher of documentation at Drexel University, where she developed one of the first courses in the U.S. on documentation. She authored a number of articles on special libraries, documentation, information retrieval, indexing, and thesaurus construction. A short biographical statement and links to photographs may be found at: https://www.asist.org/pioneers/claire-kelly-schultz/ A complete bio-bibliography of her works may be found in her oral history at the Chemical Heritage Foundation: http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/collections/oral-histories/details/schu ltz-claire-k.aspx Her papers are on deposit at the Babbage Institute of the University of Minnesota.
