International Conference on Health and Social Care Information Systems AIS Affiliated Conferences Algarve, Portugal October 2015 ======= Deadline for submissions: December 15, 2014 ======= We invite senior academics, scientists and professionals to consider submitting a proposal for an invited session / workshop to be held in conjunction with CENTERIS / ProjMAN / HCist 2015. An invited session consists of a presentation session of five to six papers on a specific conference topic, organized as a 90 or 120 minutes session. A workshop consists of presentation sessions for at least ten papers, as a half day workshop or one-day mini conference. Each invited session/workshop should provide a forum to address a particular topic on information systems, project management or health and social care information systems and technologies, in which participants discuss and interact in order to jointly learn and explore a specific subject. The invited session/workshop chair is expected to take the responsibility for her/his sessions, gathering papers from a range of research /professional expertise around the world (no more than 35% of papers from the same country), managing the overall process of the workshop conduction (call for papers, review of submitted papers, workshop activities during the conference). A minimum number of five papers (accepted after double-blind peer review) is required for the invited session/workshop realization. Researchers who would like to organise an invited session/workshop on topics falling within the scope of the conferences are invited to submit a proposal for consideration, including the following items: The title of the invited/ workshop session; Objectives; A paragraph describing the theme of the session and initial list of topics; Preliminary program committee; Preliminary forecast on possible number of submissions and accepted papers; Workshop chair(s); A short biography (of around 200 words) of the proponent.

S?o Paulo, Brazil* The Conference website and the call for participation for DC-2015 are now open. *=================* *Conference Website:* http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2015 *Call for Participation:* http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2015/cfp *Track Policies:* http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/dc-2015/schedConf/trackPolicies *=================* *Abstract: *The need for structured metadata to support ubiquitous access across the Web to the treasure troves of resources spanning cultures, in science, and in the digital humanities is now common knowledge among information systems designers and implementers. Structured metadata expressed through languages of description make it possible for us to 'speak' about the contents of our treasure troves. But, like all human languages, our languages of description both enable and isolate. The push to break out of the isolation of the metadata silos in which professionals inevitably design, implement and manage metadata in order to discover the intersections of our treasure troves drives much of today's discourse and emerging practice in metadata. The emergence of massively integrated Web presences such as Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) along with the reshaping of public access globally through mechanisms such as Linked Data and schema.org drive our conversations, our excitement, and our fears. *IMPORTANT DATES:* *Technical Program Deadlines: * *Peer-Reviewed Papers, Project Reports & Posters* --*Submission Deadline:* 28 March 2015 --*Author Notification:* 23 June 2015 --*Final Copy:* 28 July 2015 *Professional Program Deadlines* *Special & Panel Sessions* --*Proposal Deadline:* 28 March 2015 --*Author Notification:* 25 April 2015 *Best Practice Posters & Demonstrations* --*Submission Deadline: *14 July 2015 --*Author Notification:* Ongoing *=================* *Join us in S?o Paulo, Brazil* Each of the past 20 years, the metadata community has gathered for DCMI's conference and annual meeting. The work agenda of the DCMI community is broad and inclusive of all aspects of innovation in metadata design, implementation and best practices. While the work of the Initiative progresses throughout the year, the annual meeting and conference provide the opportunity for DCMI "citizens" as well as newcomers, students, apprentices, and early career professionals to gather face-to-face to share experiences and knowledge. In addition, the gathering provides public- and private-sector initiatives beyond DCMI that are doing significant metadata work to come together to compare notes and cast a broader light into their particular metadata work silos. Through such a gathering of the metadata communities, DCMI advances its "first goal" of promoting metadata interoperability and harmonization. This year, the annual meeting and conference are being hosted by the Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) and held in S?o Paulo, Brazil. *=================* *CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS:* --Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) --Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) *=================* *CONFERENCE CHAIRS:* --Pl?cida Santos, Professor Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Silvana Borsetti Gregorio Vidotti, Professor Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Fl?via Maria Bastos, CGB Coordinator General Coordination of Libraries Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Mariana Curado Malta CEISE/ISCAP - Polytechnic of Oporto, Portugal Algoritmi Center - University of Minho, Portugal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
