The Internet and the related technologies have 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. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging application requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. Novel architectures are being proposed to allow resource sharing and distributed processing of linked data and devices. Peer to peer computing, mobile information systems, semantic based applications, linked data systems, Internet of things etc. are a few examples. Topics of interest include, but not limited, to: ---------------------------------------------- * Data semantics * Web-Centric Systems * Semantic Web * Social media and networking * Big Data * Information System Interoperability * Digital Libraries * Cloud Computing * Integrated, Virtualized and Distributed Information Systems * Multimedia and application * Information security * Service Based Systems Submission and publication -------------------------- SITIS'15 WeCa Track invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics listed above. Allsubmitted 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. Extended versions of selected papers will be invited for potential publication journals. Important dates --------------- * Paper Submission (extended): September 21, 2015 * Acceptance/Reject notification: October 15, 2015 * Camera ready: October 22, 2015 * Author registration: October 22, 2015 Track Chairs ------------ Kokou Yetongnon, University of Bourgogne, France Richard Chbeir, University of Pau and Adour Countries, France From niso-announce at niso.org Wed Sep 9 11:07:30 2015 From: niso-announce at niso.org (NISO Announce) Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 11:07:30 -0400 Subject: [SigLT-L] September 23 NISO Virtual Conference: Scholarly Communication Models: Evolution or Revolution? Message-ID: *NISO September Virtual Conference: **Scholarly Communication Models: Evolution or Revolution? * Virtual conferences are 5-6 hour conferences held online in webinar-like formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for participants.

Scholars can?t help but have to navigate the complex issues around author rights, access, costs, new models of publishing, peer-review, and compliance with research funder policies. These scholarly communication components are continually evolving along with changes in technical infrastructure, the economics of publishing, knowledge preservation, and social practice. Learn how scholarly communication models are evolving from the authors?, publishers?, and libraries? perspectives. The presenters would share and discuss their approach in adapting and navigating the issues surrounding this topic. *NEW: **Training Thursday**!* All registrants to this virtual conference will receive a login to the associated Training Thursday on *Using Alerting Systems to Ensure OA Policy Compliance* to be held on October 1 *from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time)*.

The purpose of the survey is to explore the cost and benefit of embedding additional (i.e. LAM-generated) metadata into digital objects, to the end of evaluating current practice and defining best practices. The survey consists of a mix of closed and open ended questions. Participation should take between 15? 20 minutes. *Please follow this link to complete the survey:* http://goo.gl/forms/okWuTIyTcN Rachel Jaffe, Metadata Librarian, UC Santa Cruz and Edward Corrado, Associate Dean, Library Technology Planning and Policy, University of Alabama are conducting this survey. *Participation is voluntary; participants will have the right to discontinue the survey at any point without penalty.* Information obtained from the online survey will be collected in a manner that human subjects cannot be identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the subject.
