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 ACM Conference on Management of computational and collective IntElligence in Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) 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.

June 10 NISO Webinar: Taking Your Website Wherever You Go: Delivering Great User Experience across Multiple Form Factors Message-ID: *NISO Webinar: **Taking Your Website Wherever You Go: * *Delivering Great User Experience across Multiple Form Factors* *Date: *June 10, 2015 *Time: *1:00 ? 2:30 p.m. Eastern time *Event webpage:* *http://www.niso.org/news/events/2015/webinars/responsive/* *About the Webinar* The increased utilization of mobile devices for content consumption places demands on publishers to be more adept at engaging on mobile devices. As the device market has changed, size, capability, and usability of the devices continue to evolve rapidly. The capability of the web sites needs to keep pace with the changing market both in terms of rendering content on devices and managing the access to the content. One of the first waves of design called for using custom Apps for mobile devices. Many of the early adopters learned quickly that App maintenance consumed more resources that anyone had predicted. Access management is another consideration for the mobile experience. Simply put, publishers want be sure that users are authorized to have access to content. In the academic environment, the task is particularly troublesome because students are transient and very mobile. Rather than setting up onerous, session based manual login processes, content providers, usually enabled by hosting companies, have developed techniques to ?pair? devices with authentication systems to ensure that access is available when requested, but not extended past a designated time frame. Management of this capability should be transparent intermediaries, such as librarians, but available for management should the need arise. In this NISO Webinar, speakers will discuss multiple form factors including responsive web design and responsive design with service side components, that help institutions deliver a great experience to their users. Topics and speakers are: ? *RESS*: *Responsive Web Design + Server Side Components - **Marty Picco*, Vice President of Product Management, Atypon ? *Providing Information across Multiple Devices to the Public Health Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities - Hathy Simpson*, MPH, Public Health Information Specialist, Project Coordinator, Public Health Partners Website Project, National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region (NN/LM NER), University of Massachusetts Medical School and *Lisa Sedlar*, Librarian, National Information Center for Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR), National Library of Medicine ? *Meeting Your Customer Where They Are with Responsive Design** -* *Bobby Foster*, Director of User Experience & Design, Health Learning, Research & Practice, Wolters Kluwer *REGISTRATION* Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on May 13.

The traditional print subscription services model, the process of handling standing book orders by libraries, and even the process of buying, selling, and consuming ebooks through a variety of platforms all require standardized business processes to efficiently get content from publishers through vendors to libraries and ultimately to patrons. As our community adapts to changing paradigms regarding service and ownership models specific to digital publishing, both the library and publishing communities need to consider the implications of these changes. Print content distribution was centered on a sales model, where the transfer of ownership of a physical object was a core element of the transaction; this is often not the case with digital assets. Generally, content is licensed and access is limited; by rights, by term, or by community served. The implications of this shift are quite broad both for content providers as well as libraries. What are the business practices, roles and responsibilities, on both sides of the new digital exchange that all parties need to be aware of and incorporate to ensure efficient information exchange? *NISO and BISG will explore these issues during the 9th Annual NISO/BISG Changing Standards Landscape.* During this free half-day symposium held annually at the American Library Conference, speakers will explore the evolving business model processes that some community members are putting into place, discuss what is working and what isn't, and identify problems that remain to be solved. *Agenda* - Welcome and Introductions ?

"Many diverse organizations?such as publishers, content aggregators, archives, and indexing services? exchange and work with the heterogeneous digital files that make up serial content,? states Kimberly A. Tryka, Research Data Librarian, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Co-chair of the NISO PESC Working Group. "Organizations that exchange serial content know that lack of consistency in packaging and describing the items being exchanged leads to frustration and inefficiency. The PESC recommended practice is intended to inform members of the scholarly information community about preferred practices for packaging and exchanging serial content which can enable the creation of better automated processes to receive and manage serial content." "Use cases including a diverse array of actors helped map out the complex ecosystem in which the exchange of serial content occurs," explains Leslie Johnston, Director of Digital Preservation, National Archives and Records Administration and Co-chair of the NISO PESC Working Group. "The PESC recommended practice includes guidance to communicate about the package itself, a manifest document, folder structure for the content of the package, and package format. There are also examples of three various conformance levels, which are intended to communicate various levels of exchange between organizations. These demonstrate the flexibility of PESC to be suitable for use in assorted situations between parties. The recommendations include advice for maximizing the effectiveness of the recommendations, and detailed examples of packages and an FAQ included in the document's appendices should also help practical adoption of PESC. This could additionally serve as a model for the interchange of other forms of electronic content." "By following these recommendations, exchanging organizations can clearly communicate more systematically what content has been transmitted, how it is organized, and what processing is required when a new package is received," comments Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. "We are pleased to publish the collaborative product of another successful Working Group. As we have done with other initiatives, NISO will create a Standing Committee that will provide maintenance, education, and outreach for PESC." *Protocol for Exchanging Serial Content (PESC)* (NISO RP-23-2015) is available for free download from the PESC Working Group webpage on the NISO website at www.niso.org/workrooms/pesc/ .

Carpenter, the Executive Director of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO). The Critical Component: Standards in the Information Exchange Environment explores the process of developing information standards, the value of standards for libraries, publishing and the intermediaries that serve both communities. The book is published by ALCTS Publishing and is available in both print and electronic-book format. Carpenter, Nettie Lagace, NISO's Associate Director for Programs, and Cynthia Hodgson, recently retired NISO Editor, all contributed chapters to this publication. "Although we rely on standards every day to access, retrieve, and display digital content, few understand how these critical components in that process are developed or deployed," said Carpenter describing the book's aims. "Many people have commented to me that the development of standards is a procedural 'black box' -something that is difficult to comprehend or navigate. By creating this work, we hope to illuminate that process as well as describe the necessary role that standards play in our digital content ecosystem." "As the first ALCTS Monograph, this publication sets a high bar of content and form for the series, including a newly accessible epub format for our publication program," said Jeanne Drewes, ALCTS Monographs Editor. The idea for this book came from the NISO emails that I had received over the years from Cindy Hepfer, then the ALCTS representative to NISO. Her "standards" outreach to the library community was the seed for the need and she was instrumental in connecting ALCTS to the NISO team that brought this idea into reality." The book includes chapters on: the overall need for standards in content distribution; the formality of standards; the process and players involved in standards development; the description of information objects, digital preservation, identifiers, marketing standards, getting involved in the process as well as the future needs for information standards. Following each chapter is a case study describing real-world implications of these themes. In addition to Carpenter, Lagace, and Hodgson, many esteemed industry thought-leaders contributed to the book including: - Norman Paskin, International DOI Foundation - Regina Romano Reynolds, Library of Congress - Diane I. Hillmann, Metadata Management Associates - Lisa Gregory, North Carolina Digital Heritage Center - Bill Kasdorf, Apex Content Solutions - Janifer Gatenby, OCLC - Adam Chandler, Cornell University Library - George Kerscher, DAISY Consortium - Laura Dawson, ProQuest - Marshall Breeding, Library Technology Guides Founder & Editor - Ted Koppel, Auto-Graphics - Kate Witteberg, Portico and many others. "In fact, everyone who inhabits any sector of the global information ecosystem should be interested in and at least minimally knowledgeable about standards. Twenty-first century libraries, information services and publications of all kinds simply wouldn't be usable without the support of standards," wrote Cindy Hepfer, recently retired librarian at State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, in her Introduction. The Critical Component: Standards in the Information Exchange Environment is now available in print (ISBN13: 978-0-8389-8744-5) from the ALA Annual Conference Store in San Francisco and from the ALA Store online: http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=11483. Review copies are available by contacting the Christine McConnell in the ALCTS office at cmcconnell at ala.org. A PDF ebook (ISBN: 978-0-8389-8745-2) and EPUB (ISBN: 978-0-8389-8746-9) bundle will be available in mid-July through the ALA Store online. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In contrast with standard bibliometric studies, the recent surge in quantitative studies of science is characterized by a few distinct flavors: (i) They typically rely on large-scale datasets to study science, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of authors, papers and their citations; (ii) Instead of evaluating metrics, they use models to more deeply probe the mechanisms driving science, from knowledge production to scientific impact, systematically distinguishing predictable from random patterns; (iii) More quantitative studies of science no longer hold the unique goal of evaluating and improving the system of science. Rather, researchers from a wide range of disciplines have begun to use science as an observatory to probe social phenomena that are more universal and widely applicable than the institutions of science themselves. As such, the tools and perspectives vary, involving social scientists, information and computer scientists, economists, physicists and mathematicians, with results published in venues with non-overlapping readership. The goal of this satellite is to bring together leading researchers from various disciplines and form discussions on the proliferating subject of quantifying science. We specifically look for contributions that satisfy one or more of the aforementioned flavors. *Submission * Submit a (max) one-page abstract including one descriptive figure and caption using easy chair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qsccs15 Selected submissions are invited to present a research talk. Note, as a focused workshop, we welcome submissions that may also be presented in the main conference. *Areas of Interest* include but are not limited to the following focused topics: - Dynamical and structural properties of citations - Patterns behind normal and successful scientific career - How institutions (e.g., universities) shape scientific production - Collaborations and team science - Emergence and life course of concepts - Extinction, evolution and emergence of knowledge - Prediction of future knowledge and impact - Altmetrics - Peer review processes in science - Crowdsourcing science *Submission Deadline:* July 10, 2015** *Acceptance Notification:* July 17, 2015. ** We also honor expedite review of your submission if you demand a response prior to early registration deadline - please contact Dashun Wang < dashunwang at gmail.com> upon submission. *Confirmed Speakers as of June, 2015* *Brian Uzzi*, the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University *Filippo Radicchi*, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University *C.

Tommie Usdin*, President of Mulberry Technologies, Inc., has been elected to serve as Vice Chair of the NISO Board of Directors. She will transition into the chairmanship in the 2016-17 term next July. Usdin has long been a leader in the technology around content markup and publishing production process and has organized a number of community efforts and conferences on the subject. She has served as an active member of NISO?s Board of Directors since 2013 and has been a member of the NISO Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) working group. She currently also serves as Co-Chair of the JATS standing committee. *Gerry Grenier*, Director of Publishing Technologies at IEEE, who is completing his term as Chair, will cycle into the role as Past Chair on the NISO Board of Directors Executive Committee when his term as Chair ends on June 30, 2015. ?I am honored to step into this leadership role at NISO,? said Teets, the incoming Chair. "Over the past several years, NISO has placed itself in the forefront of many technological advances in our community, including alternative metrics for assessment, metadata and indexed content discovery. NISO has achieved this because of its unique role in our community, providing an open forum for libraries, publishers and system developers to address technological and business efficiency issues. Consensus solutions are forged, vetted, and eventually implemented." "I am very excited about the opportunity to expand my service to the community as part of NISO's leadership," said Usdin. "As NISO?s community continues to expand, I hope to continue to raise the NISO?s profile and extend its reach, particularly in the areas of production efficiency and systems interoperability, which have been key areas of focus of NISO for years." The following industry leaders were also elected to seats on the NISO Board of Directors. ?* Sayeed Choudhury*, Associate Dean for Research Data Management and Hodson Director of the Digital Research and Curation Center, the Johns Hopkins University Libraries ? *Chris Shillum*, Vice President, Product Management Platform and Content, Reed Elsevier ? *Chuck Thomas*, Executive Director, USMAI Library Consortium These new members will join the following Directors who will continue their terms through 2015-16 in determining priorities, managing operations and setting strategic direction for the organization. ? *Marian Hollingsworth*, Director of Publisher Relations, Thomson Reuters ? *Evan Owens*, Vice President, Publishing Technologies, Cenveo Publisher Services ? *Oliver Pesch*, Chief Product Strategist, EBSCO Information Services ? *Barbara Preece*, Director, Loyola/Notre Dame Library ? *Keith Webster*, Dean of University Libraries, Carnegie Mellon University ? *Jabin White*, Vice President, Content Management, ITHAKA ? *Todd Carpenter*, Executive Director, NISO (Ex Officio Member) "NISO is extremely fortunate that such an accomplished and experienced group of industry leaders is willing and able to serve on our Board and provide guidance to the organization," said Todd Carpenter, Executive Director of NISO. "The Board is representative of our membership roughly equally split among publishers, librarians and vendors. The new group of Directors continues a long tradition of senior leadership seeing the value in NISO?s mission and supporting that mission with their time and expertise. We look forward to another productive year under this new Board?s leadership.? *About NISO* NISO fosters the development and maintenance of standards that facilitate the creation, persistent management, and effective interchange of information so that it can be trusted for use in research and learning.
