CFP - EDUCAUSE Southeast Regional Conference

EDUCAUSE Southeast Regional Conference 2011
Working Together to Manage Increased Complexity with Finite Resources

Join us at the Eleventh Annual EDUCAUSE Southeast Regional Conference, June 1-3, 2011, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Connect and learn with colleagues in your region.

* Connect with innovators and forward thinkers to learn about current and emerging best practices in higher education information services.
* Collaborate with others in positions similar to yours to exchange experiences and explore ways to tackle common challenges.
* Contribute your experience to help the common good of higher education through discussion sessions and networking opportunities.

Anyone can be highly successful when a task is well-defined and unlimited resources are available. However, it takes innovation, exemplary management skills, and a strong collaborative professional network to succeed as projects and services become more amorphous and/or complex and as resources diminish or disappear. This year's conference, "Working Together to Manage Increased Complexity with Finite Resources," will look at concrete ways you can "do more with less" by leveraging the benefits of networking, professional development, and applied understandings of cloud computing and other emerging trends and technologies.

The deadline for submissions is December 15.

CFP - International Conference on Knowledge Generation, Communication and Management

We invite you to submit a paper/abstract to The SPRING 5th International Conference on Knowledge Generation, Communication and Management: KGCM 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/kgcma), to be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, on March 27th - 30th, 2011 ~ Orlando, Florida USA.

The deadlines for SPRING KGCM 2011 are the following (Check the web site for possible extensions or new set of deadlines):

Papers/Abstracts Submission and Invited Session Proposals: December 17th, 2010
Authors Notifications: February 7th, 2011
Camera-ready, full papers: February 22nd, 2011

Technical keynote speakers will be selected from early submissions because this selection requires an additional evaluation according to the quality of the paper, assessed by its reviewers, the authors' CV and the paper's topic.

Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings.

All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal.

Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions.

Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions.

Registration fees of an effective invited session organizer will be waived according to the policy described in the web page (click on 'Invited Session', then on 'Benefits for the Organizers of Invited Sessions'), where you can get information about the ten benefits for an invited session organizer. For Invited Sessions Proposals, please visit the conference web site, or directly to http://www.2011iiisconferences.org/kgcma/organizer.asp

Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.

CFP - Ontologies-Driven Web Mining

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS

Proposal Submission Deadline: December 5, 2010

c: Concepts and Techniques

A book edited by Hector Oscar Nigro and Sandra Elizabeth Gonzalez Císaro

Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina





The bulk of this manuscript is already complete, but we are seeking a few additional chapters. The book will be published by IGI Global in 2011.



Introduction

Semantic Web mining is a rapidly advancing field, combining recent advances in Semantic Web and Web mining. Use of ontologies is important for Semantic Web technologies and methods, since knowledge produced by ontologies helps define the structure and scope for Web content mining and can be used to improve the process and the results of mining. Learning ontologies and/or their concepts is both challenging and necessary when creating scalable solutions for a wide range of Semantic Web technologies.



Recent applications which exploit the interactions between ontologies and Web mining are being developed for sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and affective computing; search engine optimization and Web positioning; and Web intelligence (WI), the interactions between advanced engineering, advanced information technology (IT), and artificial intelligence (AI).



Objective of the Book

This publication should describe state-of-the-art approaches, innovative theoretical supports, advanced and successful implementations, as well as the latest empirical research findings in ontologies-driven Web mining. The book will contain original academic or industrial work in the form of high quality, scientific papers. The key objective is to provide Web mining students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers with an integral vision of the topic, specifically focusing on those areas that explore new methodologies or examine real case studies--all of them ontologies-based.



Target Audience

The target audience of this book will be composed of readers who wish to learn how to apply ontologies-driven Web mining to real world problems. The purpose is to show users how to go from theory and algorithms to real applications.

The book will present to students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers basic concepts in data mining and Web mining. Information technology researchers and practitioners can increase their knowledge and skills with these new techniques. This book can be used as a library reference, upper-level course supplement, or for postgraduate courses.



Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:



· Theoretical foundations of Web mining using an ontologies-based approach

· Ontologies in Web mining processes

· Ontology-based interpretation and validation of mined knowledge

· Intelligent assistants for Web mining with ontologies

· Interaction from ontologies to Web mining

· Knowledge grids and Web mining ontology

· Search engine optimization using ontologies

· Web positioning and inductive learning

· Opinion mining with ontologies

· Ontologies and Web intelligence (WI)

· Sentiment analysis

· Affective computing

· Ontologies and intelligent social networks

· Engineering knowledge, representation, planning, discovery, and data extraction for ontology-driving Web mining

· Real case studies which implement ontologies-based Web mining



For example, already accepted chapters discuss topics including ontologies in tourism, socially-constructed knowledge in Web optimization, and an application for identifying polarized Wikipedia articles.



Submission Procedure

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 5, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by December 20, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by February 15, 2011. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.



Publisher

This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," "Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com. This publication is scheduled for release in 2011.
