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.

The library environment is currently characterized by many challenges due to profound changes driven by a variety of factors, including, technological, economic, socio-political, and educational developments. At the heart of these changes we find our most valuable resource, the personnel working in libraries. Human resource management is therefore at the forefront of many complex issues and opportunities, which need to be understood, debated, and deliberated upon, in order to strengthen our organizations and find new and dynamic solutions to unique problems, currently challenging the library environment. Keeping the above in mind, the IFLA Management and Marketing Section is organizing a satellite meeting on ?Managing Human Resources in the library and information context: How do we want to work tomorrow?? to take place before the IFLA World Library and Information Congress in 2016. Research papers, case studies and articles are invited. We encourage innovative and practical perspectives on current and forward looking approaches to library human resource management initiatives, programs, issues, and policies. An indicative list (not exhaustive) of such areas is stated below: - Change management/innovation and human resources - Changing needs for highly qualified people (HQP) - Competencies/training/education (initial and continuing) - Organizational structures/models/cultures - Leadership/motivation/management of teamwork - New roles/tasks/functions (professional/non-professional) - Job analysis and job market for library personnel - Ethical/deontological issues - Performance evaluations - Working with unions - Age/gender - Diversity - Equitable salary structures - Life balance - Turnover/retention/succession planning - Mentoring - Hiring practices - Gender imbalance in libraries - International comparisons - Historical aspects Venue University of Toronto, Hart House (Canada) How to submit a proposal Interested persons are invited to submit a proposal for a paper and presentation of about 20-25 minutes on the topics listed above.
