Part 1 will discuss the new role of E-Science Librarian. In Part 2, speakers will explore Libraries and Big Data and their role in data curation. You can register for either or both parts. There is a 25% discount to registrants of both parts. Part 1: E-Science Librarianship - Presenters will discuss the role of the library in the academic research enterprise and provide an overview of new librarian strategies, tools, and technologies developed to support the lifecycle of scholarly production and data curation. Specific challenges that face research libraries will be described and potential responses will be explored, along with a discussion of the types of skills and services that will be required for librarians to effectively curate research output. Topics and speakers are: * The Evolution of E-Science Librarianship in the New England Region and Beyond - Elaine Martin, Editor, Journal of eScience Librarianship, University of Massachusetts Medical School * The Digital Research Enterprise: Identifying New Roles for Libraries - Chris Shaffer, University Librarian and Associate Professor, Oregon Health & Science University Library * Seeking Our Niche: Understanding the Needs of Research Personnel to Develop E-Science Services - Megan Sapp Nelson, Associate Professor of Library Sciences, Purdue University Part 2: Libraries and Big Data - Faculty in all disciplines are increasingly creating and/or incorporating big data into their research and institutions are creating repositories and other tools to manage it all. There are many challenges to effectively manage and curate this data-challenges that are both similar and different to managing document archives. Libraries can and are assuming a key role in making this information more useful, visible, and accessible, such as creating taxonomies, designing metadata schemes, and systematizing retrieval methods. Our panelists will talk about their experience with big data curation, best practices for research data management, and the tools used by libraries as they take on this evolving role. Topics and speakers are: * Academic Libraries Get Ready: Big data is here and it needs a (caring) home - Lisa Johnston, Research Services Librarian, Co-Director of the University Digital Conservancy, University of Minnesota Libraries * The Library's Role in Enabling Data Interaction for Researchers - Sayeed Choudhury, Associate Dean for Research Data Management, Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University * Building Communities and Services to Support Data-Intensive Research - Carly Strasser, Data Curation Project Manager, UC Curation Center (UC3), California Digital Library Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on September 11 for Part 1 and September 18 for Part 2 (the days of the webinars). Discounts are available for NISO and NASIG members and students. NISO Library Standards Alliance (LSA) members (http://www.niso.org/about/roster/#library_standards_alliance ) receive one free connection as part of membership and do not need to register. You can register for either or both parts. There is a 25% discount if registering for both.

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. Important dates ---------------- * Paper Submission: September 08th, 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, Universit? degli Studi di Milano, Italy WeCa Track Chairs: Kokou Yetongnon, University of Bourgogne, France Richard Chbeir, University of Pau, 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/
