CALL FOR PAPERS
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission deadline: May 23, 2011 11:59pm EST
Paper submission deadline: May 30, 2011 11:59pm EST
Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2011 11:59pm EST

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
IHI 2011 is the main conference of the newly formed ACM Special Interest
Group on Health Informatics (SIGHIT).
IHI 2011 is ACM's premier community forum concerned with the application
of computer science principles, information science principles,
information technology, and communication technology to address problems
in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness. The conference
highlights the most novel technical contributions in computing-oriented
health informatics and the related social and ethical implications. IHI
2011 will feature keynotes, a multi-track technical program including
papers, demonstrations, and panels. New additions to the IHI 2011
program include tutorials and a doctoral consortium.
IHI 2011 serves as a venue for the discussion of innovative technical
contributions highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and
technologies, even if available only in prototype form (e.g., a system
is not deployed in production mode and/or evaluation may be performed by
giving examples). We strongly encourage authors to submit their original
contributions describing their algorithmic contributions, methodological
contributions, and well-founded conjectures based on an
application-oriented context. A paper does not have to be comprehensive
and can focus on a single aspect of design, development, evaluation, or
deployment.
Contributions in the realm of social and behavioral issues might include
empirical studies of health-related information use and needs,
socio-technical studies on the implementation and use of health
information technology, studies on health informatics in the context of
community impact and implications, studies on public policies on
leveraging health informatics infrastructure, among others.
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
The conference will accept both regular and short papers.
Regular papers (6-10 pages in length) will describe more mature ideas,
where a substantial amount of implementation, experimentation, or data
collection and analysis will be described.
Short papers (1-5 pages) can be less formal and will describe innovative
ideas where a less degree of validation and implementation have occurred.
All papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library. The list of
conference topics is available at
http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/ihi2011/Themes%20-%20web2011IHI.htm.
The best papers of IHI 2011 will also be considered for journal
publication in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Intelligent
Systems and Technology (TIST).
IHI 2011 has three tracks: analytics, systems, and human factors.
" The analytics track focuses on data analysis.
" The systems track focuses on building health informatics systems
(e.g., architecture, framework, design, engineering, and application).
" The human factors track focuses on understanding users or context,
interface design, and user studies of health informatics applications.
When submitting a paper, the authors must select a track that they
regard as the most appropriate one for their paper. Before the review
process starts, the PC co-chairs will check each paper and make
adjustment if necessary to ensure the submission will be reviewed in the
correct track.
A subset of highly-ranked papers will have oral presentation slots. The
other accepted papers, which are not selected for oral presentation,
will be presented as posters.
Submitted papers must not have appeared in, or be under consideration
for, another conference, workshop, journal, or other target of publication.

CALL FOR DEMOS
IMPORTANT DATES
Demo paper submission deadline: May 30, 2011 11:59pm EST
Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2011 11:59pm EST
Camera-ready copy due: August 30, 2011 11:59pm EST
SCOPE OF THE DEMO TRACK
A submission proposal includes a demo paper and can optionally include a
demo video, whose URL should be referred to in the textual demo
description for reviewers to take into consideration when analyzing the
submission. Note that the demo paper should differ from regular papers
in several important aspects.
(1) it should clearly describe the overall architecture of the system or
technology demonstrated.
(2) the paper should put great emphasis on the motivation of the work,
on the applications of the presented system or technology, and on the
novelty of the work.
(3) the proposal should clearly describe the demo scenario. In
particular, it should describe how the demo audience can interact with
the demo system, to better understand the underlying technology.
A list of IHI areas/topics can be found in the Call for Papers.
For demos running over the web, a back-up scenario should be described,
in case connectivity is limited at the demo venue.
The notification for acceptance of demo papers is the same as that for
regular papers. Accepted demo proposals will appear in the final
proceedings and in ACM digital library.

The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2011)
In cooperation with ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6
http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/11/
November 21-24, 2011
San Francisco, California, USA
Description and Objectives
---------------------------
In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of
virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals,
organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions
and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing 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 resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services,
computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems
and their characteristics, 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 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 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 Emergent 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. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals
for demonstrations.

Description
------------
Recently information technologies have invaded almost every aspect of our modern life.
The effects of the World Wide Web and more recently Web 2.0, computers, and telecommunications on societies
have emerged to cover new form of social cyberspace as reference to digital society or e-Society.
In fact, the e-Society is the result of an emerging era of digitalizing different forms of multimedia information
making time and space compression a constant evolving task.
E-Society represents a revolutionary change in the way people interact with each others beyond countries
boundaries. It provides individuals, such as end-users and organizations,
the ability to easily share and publish corporate data, visions, and strategies.
Nonetheless, with this emerging social interaction and the wide range of shared data,
several privacy and confidentiality concerns arise. Mechanisms used to harvest social information represent
a privacy threat for users in many situations and such concerns fall beyond security administrators duties
and target end-users in their daily tasks.
Approaches proposed in the literature to provide safe data publishing have several drawbacks related,
on one hand, to the heterogeneous types of data addressed, and, on the other hand, to complexity in
specifying privacy and security rules.
Topics
-------
The aim of the workshop on Security and Privacy Preserving in e-Societies is to pin down
the latest techniques, studies, and approaches related to security and privacy preserving in the
digital society in the following (but not limited) topics:
* Access control
* Content protection
* Data protection
* Database security
* Data association detection
* Data integrity
* Information hiding
* Inference detection
* Inference elimination
* Knowledge discovery and privacy
* Multimedia mining threats
* Multimedia security
* Multimedia privacy
* Multimedia hiding
* Network security
* Network intrusion detection
* Quantifying threat
* Social networks security
* Social networks privacy preserving
* Security and privacy policies
* Security metrics
* Secure cloud computing
* Watermarking and steganography
* Wireless and mobile security
Accepted papers will be published by ACM and fully indexed by ACM Digital Library and DBLP.
