Call For Papers | |||||||||
Call for Papers as of 16 December 2009 I. Knowledge Management Knowledge management has become an organizational imperative for all types of corporate and governmental organizations. A key objective is to apply knowledge which resides within an organization to achieve organization’s goals most efficiently and cost-effectively. To implement knowledge management in organizations, different aspects from different disciplines have to be taken into account. Topics include but are not limited to: * Theories for Knowledge Management * Concepts for Knowledge Management * Models for Knowledge Management * Innovative Approaches to Knowledge Management * Evaluations and Use Case Studies of Knowledge Management II. Knowledge Discovery Knowledge Discovery aims at supporting search, visualization and analysis of complex knowledge spaces like the Web, corporate intranets, media etc. and thus providing knowledge in a format appropriate for human information processing. Crucial points herein are the identification of meaningful relationships between information entities, efficient user feedback, scaleable algorithms as well as methods for increasing information and algorithmic quality. We are seeking for novel algorithmic and application oriented contributions along the following topics: * Information Retrieval and Search Visualization * Knowledge & Information Visualization * Semantic Enhanced Knowledge Discovery * Knowledge Discovery in the Future Internet * Information Quality in the Web * Knowledge Relationship Discovery and Statistical Relational Learning * Large Scale Knowledge Discovery * Text Mining & Semantic Enrichment III. Knowledge Services Knowledge Services aim at supporting knowledge work, individual workplace learning, community learning, and organizational learning – as well as the transitions between them. This support is today typically provided via (composite) software services (e.g. web-services or SOA) which analyze the relationships between users, content, and semantic structures. Specific focus is given on usage data analysis and user feedback utilization. Beyond application within organizations such services can provide support for Science 2.0, knowledge maturing, etc. This track focuses on the design and Evaluation of Knowledge Services such as * User context detection services * User profile modelling and maintenance services * Context-aware recommendation services * Collaborative knowledge construction and modelling services * Collaborative knowledge maturing services * Knowledge sharing and communication services ..which are based on Knowledge Technologies such as * Web 2.0 and Future Internet * Social Network Analysis * Adaptive, context-aware systems * Semantic technologies * Mobile computing approaches * Web-services, SOA, service orchestration * Linked-open data * Trust & privacy approaches IV. Social Media In contrast to traditional media, Social Media refers to a range of new media concepts that tap into social networks as a way of propagating and aggregating information. While recent research suggests that social networks play an important role in the spread of information, little is known about how network structures specifically influence information processing activities on the web. This track seeks submissions that focus on understanding and modeling social media applications and processes. * Models of propagation and influence in twitter, blogs and social tagging systems * models of expertise and trust in twitter, wikis, newsgroups, question and answering systems * Agent-based models of social media * Models of emergent social media properties * Cooperation and collaboration models * Modeling social media users and their motivations and goals * Architectural and framework models * User modeling and behavioural models * Social Media Engineering V. Enterprise 2.0 and Social Web: Case Studies and Evaluations Web 2.0 has emerged as the new dynamic user-centered Web equipped with social features – it has empowered users to become the main creators of content. Driven by this fundamental change innovative enterprises strive to adopt applications and technologies from the Social Web to facilitate inter- and intraorganizational knowledge transfer. To fully exploit the huge potential of the Social Web for Knowledge Management, managers need to master the emerging field of tension between the fundamental principles from the Social Web, e.g. the self-organization of its users vs. the prevailing hierarchical structures in enterprises. This track focuses on experiments, evaluations and case-studies and not so much on the underlying technologies. Topics include but are not limited to: * Enterprise 2.0 * Corporate Web 2.0 * Social Networking (Services) and the Enterprise * Wikis, (Micro-)Blogs and the Enterprise * Computer-Mediated Communication and Computer-Supported Collaborative Work with Social Media * Communities and Social Media * Knowledge Transfer, Sharing and Diffusion with Social Media * Knowledge Management in the Future Internet of People, Content and Knowledge * Knowledge Management and Business Model Innovation * Web 2.0 and Viral Marketing |
