From Richard.Chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr Fri Apr 11 05:05:54 2008 From: Richard.Chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr (CHBEIR Richard) Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:05:54 +0200 Subject: [Sigmed-l] Last Call for Springer Book Chapter Proposals on Emergent Web Intelligence Message-ID: <1207904754.47ff29f28fe0b@webmail.u-bourgogne.fr> --------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 28 April 2008 --------------------------------------- ########################### Call for Book Chapters ########################### Book Title: Emergent Web Intelligence To be published by Springer Verlag in the series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/DBconf/Springer/ #################################################################################### Description ------------ The current Internet changes our daily life by redefining the meanings and processes of business, commerce, marketing, finance, publishing, education, research, etc. and by revolutionizing the way we produce, store, process, retrieve and use information. Although individual Web-based information systems are regularly being deployed, new efficient techniques and approaches for developing and for benefiting from collective Web intelligence are required more than ever to help users avoid irrelevant web search results (pages, links, etc.), fraud e-business transactions, non-personalized web information, even wrong web decisions, etc. The novel intelligent web theory exploits advanced information technology and IA to explore the next generation of web-empowered systems, services, and environments, and to design and provide hybrid web systems that serve wired and wireless users more efficiently. In this book, we aim at gathering the latest advances of various topics in web intelligence and reporting how organizations can gain competitive advantages by applying the different emergent techniques in the real-world scenarios. Papers and studies which couple the intelligence techniques and theories with specific web technology problems are cordially invited. Survey articles that emphasize the research and application of web intelligence in a particular domain are greatly welcome. Volumes & Topics ----------------- This book will include several volumes related to the following topics (but are not limited to): * Web Information Retrieval * Information Management and Data Representation * Web Mining * Web Farming * Web Security * Information Filtering and Access Control Models * Semantics and Ontologies * Web services and Semantic Web * Social Networks and Intelligence Design * Web-based Support Systems * Human-Web Interaction * E-Applications and Systems * Web Technologies and Protocols * Wisdom Web * Web Agents and Agent-based Systems * Agent self-organization, learning, and adaptation * Agent-based knowledge discovery * Agent-mediated markets * Knowledge Grid and Grid intelligence * Knowledge management, networks, and communities * Web 3.0 Submission Guidelines ---------------------- Authors are kindly invited to upload their submissions at: http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/DBconf/Springer/Submission/ Chapter proposals (title and abstract) are to be uploaded before March 25th 2008. This will facilitate the planning of the review process. All chapter proposals will be peer reviewed. Full chapters will be expected by April 28th 2008. All submitted chapters will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Careful preparation of the manuscripts will help keep production time short and ensure satisfactory appearance of the finished book. Please prepare the manuscript as follows: * Please centralize all tables and figures with appropriate legends. * Please carefully check for typos inside the figures/legends etc. * All equations must be numbered and please try to use standard fonts. * Produce a LaTeX version of your chapter using the template provided (see Author Guidelines at http://www.softcomputing.net/cec06/author-kit.zip) Original artwork and a signed copyright release forms will be required for all accepted chapters. Important Dates ---------------- Deadline for full chapters: April 28, 2008 Notification of acceptance/rejection of chapters: June 30, 2008 Deadline for submission of final chapters: July 15, 2008 Publication of book "Emergent Web Intelligence": Second half of 2008 Volume Editors -------------- - Richard CHBEIR (Main Contact) Laboratoire LE2I (UMR - CNRS) Bourgogne University, Aile de l'Ing?nieur 21078 Dijon CEDEX France Tel.: +333 80 39 36 55 Email: richard.chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr URL: http://www.le2I.com - Aboul-Ella Hassanien Kuwait University College of Business Administration, Quantitative Methods and IS Department P.O.

The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics and life science, as well as the methodologies behind them. The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems. Critical to both contributors and readers are the short publication time and world-wide distribution - this permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results.

This means that we are looking for books with imprint of 2007 (2007 only!). Information science here is to be interpreted broadly to include books on topics that have a relation to the field or may be impact the field. Library science is included. So is computer science. And digital libraries and communication studies related to what we do and so on. We are looking for your suggestions. Publishers do send their nominations, but I would like to collect nominations from the user audience. After all users should definitely be the main nominators for the best book. Please send the nominations to: Tefko Saracevic tefko at scils.rutgers.edu Tefkp Saracevic (Dick Hill sending for Tefko) Executive Director American Society for Information Science and Technology 1320 Fenwick Lane, Suite 510 Silver Spring, MD 20910 FAX: (301) 495-0810 (301) 495-0900 From Richard.Chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr Thu Apr 24 03:31:49 2008 From: Richard.Chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr (CHBEIR Richard) Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:31:49 +0200 Subject: [Sigmed-l] Springer Book on Emergent Web Intelligence: Extended Submission Deadline ...
