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. MEDES 2014 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 2014 seeks contributions in the following areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Green computing 3. Computational and Collective Intelligence 4. Services 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Internet of Things and Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10.

Some examples are organizations, nations, websites, companies, products and even persons. These identities are constituted through a complex interplay of interactions, a kind of distributed cognition. Communication requires not only a representation in an individual?s mind but also the knowledge that there is a similar representation in the minds of others. Platforms built on top of the Internet have changed the way we can create such shared representations. They allow people to aggregate knowledge from socially distant areas. They also allow diverse groups of people ? and maybe machines in the form of artificial intelligences ? to negotiate identities. We can build collective intelligences that themselves will steer the quest for knowledge. The collectives can be self-catalyzing, deciding individually or collaboratively what to do next, out of which novel and practical ideas emerge. While these open design collectives rely on organic growth and slow embedding of members in the network, alternative structures based on crowds can be assembled more rapidly. Between the two extremes are a host of different organizational structures, in which already committed members of a community are deployed to create or improve ideas. And the traces of these new organizations are also varied, ranging from ephemeral short messages to curated collaborative knowledge repositories. The output often takes the form of digital media. We are interested in papers that observe, analyze, or visualize these organization structures and the innovations they produce, papers that simulate this production through software, papers that analyze the phenomena of crowdsourcing, collective intelligence and collaborative mass knowledge production, and design research that creates and evaluates new tools and processes. We are particularly open to papers that explore unusual ways of modelling emergent organizations: models that demonstrate or reflect the influence of social systems on user behaviours, models that consider the multiple connections between people, technology, and institutions, models of technological and social affordances, models that break personal identity into sub-relations, and models that examine the emergence of roles, identity, and institutions. We are interested in applying the ideas of James March, Mark Granovetter, Harrison White, Charles Tilly and related scholars to information systems. We are looking for papers about the mechanisms (in the sense of Bhaskar) that explain the emergence of collective identity. In sum, the content of the track is open to analysis of collective intelligence, new knowledge creation, and crowdsourcing. Included also is the analysis of social interaction as a way of describing underlying social structure, and in particular the social construction of identity and roles.. Thus the track is open to a wide range of content areas that lend themselves to the analysis of relations between people, collectives, and machines, as well as the products produced as a result of these relations. In this minitrack, we are aiming to attract an audience from five groups: first, those interested in collective intelligence and crowdsourcing and who find a home in information systems departments; second, those in information schools who study these topics; third, computer scientists who are interested in the analysis of network and crowd processes, fourth, those who use social networks to describe social structure and fifth, industry practitioners.

We are in particular interested in the impact of global, international, and cross-cultural issues on ICT development, implementation and use across the globe. Globalization has historically been tied to technological innovation, and the present era of a networked information society is no different. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have provided the infrastructure for multinational businesses, created new cultural connections irrespective of geographic boundaries and distances, and allowed an increasingly mobile global population to be connected to their friends, families, and cultures no matter where they are. The issues surrounding global, international, and cross cultural issues in Information Systems (IS) attracted much scholarly attention and have been explored under myriad contexts. The minitrack welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of global IS, or IS research situated in a global, international or cross-cultural context. The minitrack is open to all methodological approaches and perspectives. We are interested in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related socio-technical issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Research that considers the impacts of cultural values (e.g. on adaptive user interfaces) * Research on global Cloud sourcing strategies * Cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons of ICT adoption, use and development (e.g. Internet diffusion and impacts compared between different economies) * Effects of global social computing on organizational work organization and practices (e.g. pricing strategies) * Issues relating to globally distributed teams (e.g. the adoption and use of social media by cross-national virtual teams, worker motivation, and human error diversity) * Issues relating to Internet adoption and the digital society at the national level (e.g. digital infrastructure sophistication across countries) *Issues relating to global knowledge management (e.g. different knowledge-sharing cultures in multi-national corporations) *Issues relating to cross-national legislation and regulation (e.g. implications of different regulations governing Green IT in the EU vs. US or Asian countries) * Issues relating to global ICT governance (e.g. sustainable strategies for standardization and harmonization in evolving business networks) * Single country studies showing implications for other locations or results different from other contexts (e.g. impact of ICT policies on a transition economy) * Multi-country studies of ICT adoption, use, and development (e.g. e-commerce adoption involving multiple countries) * Global impacts of big data on governments, multinational companies, NGOs and other organizations Minitrack Organizers: Pnina Fichman, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington; fichman at indiana.edu Edward W.N.

A total of 34 graduate students who participated in a collaborative research project were asked to complete process surveys in the initiation, midpoint, and completion phases of the project. The process survey for this study comprised closed questions that sought to measure students? perceptions of knowledge and difficulty as well as open-ended questions that asked students what they knew about the topic and what they considered difficult at each phase of the project. The results revealed growth in individual students? knowledge as they proceeded through the project. When the results of this study are compared to findings from studies focusing on individual information seeking, students who participated in the collaborative research project began the project with confidence as they developed a shared understanding of the topic in the early phase of the project. However, students became more stressed as the project progressed as they carried out their information-seeking activities in individual ways. Cette ?tude a pour objectif de mieux comprendre la dynamique complexe de la construction des connaissances et de la recherche d?information dans la situation de l?apprentissage collaboratif. Nous avons demand? ? trente-quatre ?tudiants des cycles sup?rieurs ayant particip? ? un projet de recherche collaborative de participer ? une enqu?te sur le processus lors des phases de d?but, de milieu et de fin du projet. Aux fins de cette ?tude, l?enqu?te comprenait des questions ferm?es qui avaient pour but de mesurer les connaissances acquises ainsi que la difficult? telles que per?ues par les ?tudiants, et des questions ouvertes qui demandaient aux ?tudiants ce qu?ils savaient sur le sujet et ce qu?ils consid?raient comme difficile ? chaque phase du projet. Les r?sultats ont montr? une croissance des connaissances des ?l?ves au fur et ? mesure qu?ils avan?aient dans le projet. En comparant les r?sultats de cette ?tude avec les r?sultats d'?tudes portant sur la recherche individuelle d?information, les ?tudiants ayant particip? ? un projet de recherche collaborative ont d?marr? le projet avec une confiance due au fait qu?ils avaient d?velopp? une compr?hension commune de la question d?s la premi?re phase du projet. Toutefois, les ?tudiants ressentent plus de stress quand le projet avance et qu?ils doivent effectuer leurs activit?s de recherche d?information individuellement. Ranking the Libraries of the University of Ni? Faculties Using the VIKOR Method / Le classement des biblioth?ques des facult?s de l?Universit? de Ni? par la m?thode VIKOR Mirjana D. Man?ev http://bit.ly/CJILS381b This article analyses the quality of services provided in the libraries at the University of Ni? and establish a ranking by applying an exact scientific method of multi-criteria analysis (the VIKOR method?a multi-criteria compromise ranking method). The libraries are ranked according to different criteria: the time it takes to search the library holdings through available electronic databases on computers, the number of users, and the size of the library holdings. Based on the presented example, it can be concluded that the library of the Faculty of Medicine provides the highest quality of customer service. Cet article a pour objectif d?analyser la qualit? des services fournis dans les biblioth?ques de l?Universit? de Ni? et d'?tablir un classement en utilisant une m?thode scientifique exacte d?analyse multicrit?res : la m?thode VIKOR, m?thode de classement de compromis selon plusieurs crit?res. Les biblioth?ques sont class?es d?apr?s diff?rents crit?res : le temps n?cessaire pour une recherche dans le fonds documentaire en utilisant les bases de donn?es ?lectroniques dans les ordinateurs, le nombre d?utilisateurs ainsi que la taille du fonds documentaire de la biblioth?que. Sur la base de l?exemple pr?sent?, on peut conclure que c?est la biblioth?que de la Facult? de m?decine qui offre aux utilisateurs la meilleure qualit? de service. How Accurate Are Wikipedia Articles in Health, Nutrition, and Medicine? / Les articles de Wikip?dia dans les domaines de la sant?, de la nutrition et de la m?decine sont-ils exacts ? Norman J. Temple, Joy Fraser http://bit.ly/CJILS381c Previous studies of Wikipedia have reported mixed results regarding the quality of information on health-related topics. We investigated the accuracy of Wikipedia entries in the areas of health, nutrition, medicine, and complementary and alternative medicine. We formulated 32 statements which are often stated but are probably incorrect ("common misconceptions"). Using Google we found 49 Wikipedia entries that provided information on these 32 statements. Most entries are accurate, but deficiencies are present in a minority. The information provided by Wikipedia has a high degree of accuracy for 23 (72%) of the 32 common misconceptions (19 had a score of 5, the highest mark possible, and 4 had a score of 4.5?4.7). Seven of them (22%) had a score of 4?4.1, indicating that the entry has a minor error or that significant information is missing. Two had a low score (3.5), which indicates a more serious problem. Of all the 49 Wikipedia entries that were evaluated, four had a score of only 3, indicating that the accuracy is seriously flawed or that no information is given. These findings together with those from other studies indicate that the information provided by Wikipedia is mostly of high quality but that significant errors and omissions are fairly common. Des ?tudes ant?rieures portant sur les articles Wikip?dia ont fait mention de r?sultats in?gaux concernant la qualit? de l?information sur les sujets li?s ? la sant?. Nous avons ?tudi? l?exactitude des entr?es de Wikip?dia dans les domaines de la sant?, de la nutrition, de la m?decine et des m?decines parall?les et compl?mentaires. Nous avons d?fini trente-deux ?nonc?s qui sont souvent propos?s, mais qui sont probablement incorrects (conceptions courantes mais fausses). Une recherche Google a trouv? quarante-trois entr?es Wikip?dia fournissant des informations sur ces trente-deux ?nonc?s. La plupart des entr?es fournissaient des informations exactes, mais nous avons constat? des lacunes dans une minorit? d?entre elles. Pour les trente-deux conceptions courantes mais fausses, vingt-trois (72 %) des entr?es Wikip?dia atteignaient un degr? ?lev? d?exactitude (dix-neuf avaient un score de 5 [note la plus ?lev?e] et quatre atteignaient 4,5?4,7). Sept des entr?es (22%) atteignaient un score de 4?4,1, ce qui indique que l?entr?e comportait une petite erreur ou que des informations essentielles ?taient manquantes. Deux entr?es atteignaient un score faible (3,5). Sur les quarante-trois entr?es de Wikip?dia qui ont ?t? ?valu?s quatre atteignaient un score de seulement 3, ce qui indique que l?entr?e ?tait soit gravement inexacte soit lacunaire. Ces r?sultats ainsi que ceux d?autres ?tudes indiquent que les informations fournies par Wikip?dia sont g?n?ralement de haute qualit?, mais que des erreurs et des omissions importantes sont assez fr?quentes. La diffusion scientifique de la cr?ativit? publicitaire de 1965 ? 2012 / The Scientific Dissemination of Creativity in Advertising from 1965 to 2012 Jorge del R?o P?rez, Pablo Medina Aguerrebere http://bit.ly/CJILS381d La cr?ativit? est un sujet fondamental pour le processus publicitaire. Elle aide les marques ? bien communiquer avec ses publics. N?anmoins, la communaut? scientifique ne s?int?resse gu?re ? ce domaine, ce qui a donn? lieu ? un vide scientifique sur la cr?ativit? publicitaire. Ce travail analyse tous les articles publi?s depuis 1965 jusqu?? 2012 par les meilleures revues scientifiques sp?cialis?es en publicit? : Journal of Advertising, Journal of Advertising Research, Journal of Current Issues and Research in Advertising et International Journal of Advertising. La conclusion de l?article est que 1,19% des 4 261 articles analys?s traitent de la cr?ativit?. Creativity is a fundamental issue in the advertising process. It helps brands communicate effectively with their targets. However, the scientific community has little interest in this field, which has resulted in a scientific vacuum about creativity in advertising. This paper analyzes all articles published between 1965 and 2012 by the best scientific journals specializing in advertising: Journal of Advertising, Journal of Advertising Research, Journal of Current Issues & Research in Advertising and International Journal of Advertising. The paper?s conclusion is that 1.19% of 4,261 articles reviewed deal with creativity in advertising.

Since 2004, established scholars, young researchers and doctoral students interested in the study of people, ICT and work and play have gathered at the SIG-SI ASIS&T Annual Research Symposium to share their work and ideas. Approximately 100 papers, posters and panels have been presented and for the past three years, we have given awards for the best papers published by Social Informatics (SI) faculty and students in the preceding years. This year we gather to celebrate a decade of intellectually challenging and engaging work in SI and hope that you will join us. Our goal remains the same: to disseminate current research and research in progress that investigates the social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) across all areas of ASIS&T. Building on the success of past years, the symposium includes members of many SIGs and defines ?social? broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. It also defines ?technology? broadly to include traditional technologies (i.e., paper), state-of-the-art computer systems, and mobile and pervasive devices. Submissions may include empirical, critical and theoretical work, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations. We are particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the Symposium?s theme but are also soliciting research on other related social informatics topics. We encourage all scholars interested in social aspects of ICT (broadly defined) to share their research and research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium. Papers that take social informatics further in theoretical conceptualization or empirical grounding are of particular interest to SIG-SI this year as we celebrate a decade of Symposia in ASIS&T. This year?s conference theme is ?Connecting Collections, Cultures, and Communities.? In keeping with this theme, the symposium is also soliciting work that focuses on the question of understanding and analyzing connections between social informatics and cognate epistemic cultures and intellectual communities from a social informatics perspective. Some of the questions we ask include: ? What are the social and technological forces that enable and constrain connections between SI and cognate intellectual communities? ? What are some of the ways in which we can begin to establish and maintain connections among SI and cognate epistemic cultures and intellectual communities? ? What can a social informatics approach tell us about the nature of the boundaries among SI and cognate epistemic communities? ? What are the challenges and opportunities of engaging in SI work? The schedule for the workshop will involve the presentations of papers and the best social informatics paper awards for 2013 (call to follow). We expect an engaging discussion with lively interactions with the audience. Deadlines: August 9, 2014: Submit a short paper (2000 words), a poster (500 words), or a panel (1000 words) by email to Howard Rosenbaum (hrosenba at indiana.edu) and Pnina Fichman (fichman at indiana.edu).
