SITIS spans two inter-related research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing. SITIS 2013 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on three main tracks: - The first track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" focuses on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including: Data Semantics, Web-Centric Systems, Big Data, Information System Interoperability, Cloud, Cooperative information and Distributed Systems, and Information security - The second track titled "Signal & Image Technologies (SIT)" focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including:Image Processing and Analysis, Signal processing, Image/Video Coding and Authentication, and Applications - The third track titled "Multimedia Information Retrieval and Application (MIRA)" focuses on emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of multimedia information accessible in distributed computing environment. The internet, social networking, multimedia databases and management of multimedia cultural collections have created the need for cross-fields models, paradigms and techniques for efficient modeling, management and consumption of multimedia contents. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including Multimedia Query and Retrieval; Mobile and Location-Based Media, Social media and Social networking, Multimedia Security, and Multimedia Arts, Entertainment and Digital Culture. Submission and publication -------------------------- The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 2013 invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics. Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes. Special issues and Journal Publication --------------------------------------- Extended versions of the selected papers will be published in one of the following reviewed journals. - World Wide Web Journal (WWW) - Multimedia Tools and Applications journal (MTAP) - Journal of Complex Networks (JCN) Important dates ---------------- * Paper Submission (extended): September 23rd, 2013 * Acceptance/Reject notification: October 06th, 2013 * Camera ready: October 13th, 2013 * Author registration: October 20, 2013 Committees ----------- General Chairs: Setsuo Tsuruta, Tokyo Denki University, Japan Ernesto Damiani, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy WeCa Track Chairs: Kokou Yetongnon, University of Bourgogne, France Richard Chbeir, University of Pau and Adour Countries, France MIRA Track Chairs: Shin'ichi Satoh, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Yuichi Nakamura, Kyoto University, Japan SIT Track Chairs: Andrea Kutics, International Christian University, Japan Albert Dipanda, University of Bourgogne, France More details about each track and detailed topics can be found on the conference website: http://www.sitis-conf.org/ From rubenstein.ellen at gmail.com Thu Sep 19 15:14:11 2013 From: rubenstein.ellen at gmail.com (Ellen Rubenstein) Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:14:11 -0500 Subject: [Sighlth-l] Garfield Research Fellowship in the History of Information Science Message-ID: Title: Garfield Research Fellowship in the History of Information Science The Medical Library Association Eugene Garfield Research Fellowship promotes and supports research in the history of information science. The $5000 fellowship, established in 2013, is to be used for research-related purposes regarding the history of information science to increase the underlying knowledgebase in this area and enhance the current and future practice of the information professions, particularly health sciences librarianship. Health sciences librarians and information scientists, health professionals, researchers, educators, and administrators are eligible. Applicants must have a master's or doctor's degree or be enrolled in a program leading to such a degree and demonstrate a commitment to the health sciences. The fellowship is not designed to support research for a doctoral dissertation or master?s thesis. The award is not restricted to disbursement in a single year and funding may be disbursed over a period of up to two years depending on the needs of the research fellow. The award may be used to supplement or extend other awards, including other private or government-supported fellowships, but is not contingent on receiving other awards. Please see the MLA Grants and Scholarships page (http://www.mlanet.org/awards/grants/) on MLANET for more information. The submission deadline is December 1.
