International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE Since the birth of the Internet, two-way communication via Web-based exchanges has become more and more popular in electronic transaction, publication, broadcasting, and other service applications (Li, Tan & Xie, 2002), so the Web is an increasingly import ant resource in numerous aspects of life (AbuAli & Abu-Addose, 2011). Since organizations have been realizing the possible implications of the Internet in their work (Aladwani & Palvia, 2002), Internet has become a key strategic weapon, which is particular ly important considering today's competitive business environment (Davidaviciene & Tolvai?as, 2011). Using Internet as a Marketing tool is considerably less expensive than using other media, so web-based Marketing allows organizations to equally compete with each other, regardless the differences that may exist (Klassen, 2002). Considering the mentioned aspects, as well as the rapid pace development of digital and social technologies, research on this topic is fundamental nowadays. In fact, one of the research priorities identified by MSI for 2014-2016 is the evaluation of how digital, social and mobile technologies can be used and managed in order to obtain marketing advantages. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Guidelines for conducting search campaigns. - Directives for creating online ads and promotions. - Engaging customers with social media. - Website quality dimensions. - Using mobile and social media marketing to communicate with the consumers: advantages and obstacles. - The role of social media in consumer perceptions. - The complementarity between digital and traditional media: differences and similarities. - Monitoring social media. - The role of digital media in research. - The role of digital media in different age groups. - The Web 3.0 Era.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE According to the European Commission report "A Roadmap for Advanced Cloud Technologies H2020 under", the environment of IST (market research, industry, education, training, etc.) undergoes constant changes. Thus, it is necessary to identify the major changes that can be expected in the next 5-10 years and may, or will, affect the environment of IST. It is expected, for example, that in 2015 billions of people connected by nearly a trillion devices, the concept BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is practically general, as well as Cloud Computing. Additionally, mobile malware has been around for a while, but it is only in the last few years that it is been used as a tool in the hands of cybercriminals. The growth of mobile malware is only going to continue as people increasingly conduct business and sensitive transactions via mobile devices and it is a result of a number of different factors. First, the huge numbers of smartphones being used; second, the variety of ?interesting? data now stored on these devices, such as: contacts, photographs, SMS messages, banking credentials and social networking logins; and finally, the growing use of mobile devices in business and the lack of awareness from organizations around mobile threats. There are a number of major trends in the mobile space which will change the way software providers deliver applications and services. One of these trends is the move toward Mobile Websites instead of apps, hence Mobile Web Portals have a great impact. This progress it is important because literature in information systems rarely addresses the particulars of Mobile Web Portals from pure ICT view. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in mobile computing that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Web Services and Web Engineering - Authentication and Access Control - Web Security and Privacy - Databases and Datawarehouses - Portal strategies - Accessibility issues and Technology - Usability and Ergonomics - Web Geographical Information Systems - Social and Legal Issues - Mobile Navigation and Assistance - Context Detection - Mobile Social Network Interaction - Mobile learning - Mobile commerce - Mobile cloud SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE The social business is based on technology trends (powerful mobile devices, broadband Internet, and low-cost data storage), work (culture, globalization) and society (propensity for sharing). This new way of doing business will enable a paradigm shift, "comes out of the hierarchy and works on the net", which will surely be the "essence of the fast enterprises and the next generation." Nowadays, according to the McKinsey Global Institute, in its report "The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies", there are over 1.5 billion users of social networks, 80% is the proportion of total users that interact with social networks regularly, 70% is the proportion of companies using social technologies, and it is used about 28 hours a week to write emails, search for information and perform internal collaboration. Strategies of platform and application integration need to be established and social technology tools need to be integrated, while a common culture of collaborative communication has to be maintained. Questions of user adoption, communication facilitation and measurable business value are arising. Benefits of information sharing, interactive knowledge exchange and usability extension seem to be apparent, whereas concerns of technical operationalization, security control and practicability of social technology features are still persistent. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in ICT trends for enterprises that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Social Tools - Web 2.0 and Social Networking - Platform Integration and Management - Global Online Communities - Interactive Applications - Operational Criteria and System Integration - Real-time Video Collaboration, Knowledge Management and Activity Streaming - Metrics and Methods - Usability, Content and Security - Ethical issues - Success factors for social workplace adoption - Key drivers for leveraging social value generation and business transformation - Visions for future work and process organization SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

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 & Conference Chair Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Mariana Curado Malta, Chair, Program Committee CEISE/ISCAP - Polytechnic of Oporto, Portugal Algoritmi Center - University of Minho, Portugal --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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In order to repeat an earlier study, to apply data from an earlier study to a new model, we need to be able to precisely identify the very subset of data used. While verbal descriptions of how the subset was created (e.g. by providing selected attribute ranges and time intervals) are hardly precise enough and do not support automated handling, keeping redundant copies of the data in question does not scale up to the big data settings encountered in many disciplines today. Furthermore, we need to be able to handle situations where new data gets added or existing data gets corrected or otherwise modified over time. Conventional approaches, such as assigning persistent identifiers to entire data sets or individual subsets or data items, are thus not sufficient. In this webinar, Andreas Rauber will review the challenges identified above and discuss solutions that are currently elaborated within the context of the working group of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) on Data Citation: Making Dynamic Data Citeable. The approach is based on versioned and time-stamped data sources, with persistent identifiers being assigned to the time-stamped queries/expressions that are used for creating the subset of data. We will further review results from the first pilots evaluating the approach. *ABOUT THE PRESENTER:* Andreas Rauber is Associate Professor at the Department of Software Technology and Interactive Systems (IFS ) at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien ). He furthermore is president of AARIT , the Austrian Association for Research in IT and a Key Researcher at Secure Business Austria (SBA-Research). He is co-chairing the RDA Working Group on Data Citation together with Ari Asmi and Dieter van Uytvanck. He received his MSc and PhD in Computer Science from the Vienna University of Technology in 1997 and 2000, respectively. In 2001 he joined the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) in Pisa as an ERCIM Research Fellow, followed by an ERCIM Research position at the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), at Rocquencourt, France, in 2002. From 2004-2008 he was also head of the iSpaces research group at the eCommerce Competence Center .
