From jlorince at indiana.edu Fri Jan 3 00:43:40 2014 From: jlorince at indiana.edu (Jared Lorince) Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2014 00:43:40 -0500 Subject: [Sigiii-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.

The conference will take place June 9-13 in Helsinki, Finland hosted by University of Helsinki?s twin libraries: Helsinki University Library and the National Library of Finland. The theme this year is "Towards Repository Ecosystems" emphasizing the interconnected nature of repositories, institutions, technologies, data and the people who make it all work together. There are several different formats (see below) provided to encourage your participation in this year's conference. With the deadline for submissions fast approaching the organizers invite you to review the call for proposals here:http://or2014.helsinki.fi/?page_id=281, and to submit your proposal here:https://www.conftool.com/or2014/ by Feb. 3, 2014. KEY DATES ? 3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions ? 4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference ? 17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups ? 9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS Conference Papers and Panels We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference?s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation. Interest Group Presentations One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, Fedora and Invenio) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. 24x7 Presentation Proposals We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. "Repository Rants" 24x7 Block One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around "repository rants": brief expos?s that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's" We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters, demonstrations, technical how-tos and technology briefings. Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn?t appropriate for a paper; you?ll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo during a plenary session at the conference. Developer "How-To's" will provide a forum for running a mini-tutorial or demonstration in the developer lounge, if there are enough interested parties. Developer Challenge Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services, and once again OR2014 will feature a Developer Challenge. An announcement will be made in the future with more details on the Challenge. Developers are also encouraged to make submissions to the other tracks--including posters, demonstrations, and 24x7 presentations--to present on recently completed work and works-in-progress. Workshops and Tutorials One- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: ? The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey ? Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?) ? How many attendees you plan to accommodate ? Technology and facility requirements ? Any other supplies or support required ? A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session ? Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the conference system. PDF format is preferred. Please include presentation title, authors? names and affiliations in the submission. The conference system is now open and is linked from the conference web site: http://or2014.helsinki.fi/ See you in Helsinki!
