From richard.chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr Wed Jun 8 04:14:59 2016 From: richard.chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr (Richard Chbeir) Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 10:14:59 +0200 Subject: [Sigkm-l] CFP: The 8th International ACM Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems, Hendaye, France (ACM MEDES 2016) Message-ID: * Please distribute widely and accept our apologies for cross-posting * The 8th International ACM Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems (MEDES'16) In-Cooperation with ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6 http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/16/ November 1-4, 2016 Hendaye, France Description and Objectives --------------------------- In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), the rapid growth and exponential use of digital components leads to the emergence of intelligent environments namely "digital ecosystems" connected to the web and 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. With the help of the computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) 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 web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, 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, intelligent 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 big 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 Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems (MEDES),previously named "The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems", 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. MEDES 2016 calls for full papers presenting interesting recent results or novel ideas in all areas of Emergent Digital EcoSystems. At the same time, the conference calls for short papers presenting interesting and exciting recent results or novel thought-provoking ideas that are not quite ready, and preferably include a system demonstration. Topics ------- MEDES 2016 seeks contributions in the following areas: - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Data & Knowledge Management - Computational and Collective Intelligence - Semantic Computing - Big Data - Services - Trust, Security & Privacy - Software Engineering - Internet of Things and Intelligent Web - Internet of People - Cyber Physical Systems - Systems of Systems - Social and Collaborative Platforms - Human-Computer Interaction - Open Source - Applications (Logistics, Energy, Healthcare, Environment, Smart Cities, Digital Humanities, Robotics, etc.) - Complex Systems and Networks Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.

The presentation slide decks will be openly available as part of the permanent record of the DC-2016 conference. If you are interested in presenting at DC-2016, please submit a proposal abstract of approximately 250-500 words through the ?DC-2016 submission system ?. *Select the Presentations track*. *==============================* *:: Submission Deadline:* 15 July 2016 *:: Presenter Notice:* 22 July 2016 *:: Track Description & Submission: * http://dcevents.dublincore.org/IntConf/index/pages/view/pre16 *:: Conference Website:* http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/dc-2016/schedConf/ *==============================* *Themes:* - Identifiers, persistent or not - Metadata profiles and validation - Maintaining vocabularies - Practicalities of data integration *Program Committee Chairs:* *Technical Program:* *Valentine Charles,* Europeana Foundation, Netherlands *Lars G.

An option for a short 5 minute project report presentation is also possible. b) *Demos* on work related to the themes of the workshop (see below). *Please email proposals* (maximum 1000 words for presentations and 500 words for demos, including aims, methods, main findings and underlying work, relevance to themes of workshop) to Koraljka Golub ( koraljka.golub at lnu.se). Proposals will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. At least one presentation author needs to register for the workshop (this is a strict requirement). *Themes for the 16th NKOS workshop will be:* (1) KOS Alignment. KOS alignment or terminology mapping plays a vital role in NKOS for many years. This year we want to sort out the needs (use cases) of KOS alignments in the new environment of Linked Open Data. We plan to collect methodologies, best practices, guidelines and tools. This includes manual and automatic alignments. (2) KOS Linked Open Data. Recent years have seen an increasing trend to publication of KOS as Linked Data vocabularies. We need discussion of practical initiatives to link between congruent vocabularies and provide effective web services and APIs so that applications can build upon them. (3) Subject metadata for research data. With increasing recognition of the need to manage research data as part of universities research output, subject metadata represent particular challenges that need to be addressed from theoretical as well as practical perspectives. We plan to discuss existing issues, especially in terms of interoperability across disciplines as well as applications, and strive towards establishment of best practices and guidelines. *Further timely presentations/demonstrations will be selected from the following topics in the CfP:* (4) KOS-based recommender systems. The suggestion of the right meaningful concepts is a mission critical phase for searchers in modern DL. (5) Meaningful Concept Display and Meaningful Visualization of KOS. (6) Standards developments. (7) Evaluation of KOS-based systems ? methods and practical experience. *KOS applications are a regular and important part of NKOS workshops. Example topics include:* (8) KOS in e-Research metadata contexts - intersection between research data, KOS, Semantic web. (9) Social tagging. What is the role of social tagging and informal knowledge structures versus established KOS? (How) can tagging be guided and informed by KOS? (10) Users interaction with KOS in the online environment. (11) KOS and learning. What is required to use KOS effectively to convey meaning, to assist users to express their information needs to assist in sense making and learning? (12) Multilingual and Interdisciplinary KOS applications and tools. (13) Specific domains, such as environmental, medical, new application contexts, etc. After the workshop, copies of both proposals and presentations will be made available on both the workshop website and the DC-2016 conference website. Submissions are subject to the DCMI copyright provisions ( http://dcevents.dublincore.org/IntConf/dc-2016/about/submissions#copyrightNotice). Presentations from the workshop may be encouraged to be submitted as extended papers for a peer reviewed journal publication.
