At only $295 for all three days, including breakfast and lunch, you’d be hard pressed to find a professional development event that is a better value for the dollar. We are also offering on-campus housing that is 40% less expensive than the nearest hotel locations, and far more convenient.

21st European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2017): Fifth Call for Doctoral Consortium
by Announce Announcements 05 May '17

05 May '17

*** Fifth Call for Doctoral Consortium *** 21st European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems ADBIS 2017 Hilton Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus 24 - 27 September, 2017 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… The internationally recognized ADBIS conference already for 21 years is gathering researchers and practitioners around topics related to databases, data processing, and information systems, in general. The conference is run in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference. The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by a discussion with senior researchers. ELIGIBILITY We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the DC. SUBMISSIONS To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of graduation. The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi…. In case of multiple files, please submit a single compressed file (zip or rar). After logging into CMT, please choose the "ADBIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium" track. REVIEW PROCESS Each paper submitted to the DC will be reviewed by at least two members of the DC program committee and will be judged based on originality, technical merit, presentation quality, and relevance. The authors of successful submissions must take into account the reviewers' comments during the preparation of the final version and describe the changes in a separate document to be submitted together with the final camera-ready version. The program committee reserves the right to reject a paper if the final version does not meet the requirements above. Applications not adhering to the provided guidelines (including page limits) will not be considered. The authors of accepted papers must register to the conference, attend the DC and present their work. PROCEEDINGS The DC papers will be published by Springer, together with the ADBIS workshops proceedings, in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing series. IMPORTANT DATES · Submission: May 19, 2017 · Acceptance/Rejection Notification: June 30, 2017 · Camera-ready Submission: July 14, 2017 · Doctoral Consortium: September 24, 2017 COMMITTEES Steering Committee Chair · Leonid Kalinichenko, Russian Academy of Science, Russia General Chair · George A.

CfP extended deadline:: Adoption and Acceptance of Interactive Health Technology (25/26 September, 2017)
by Somaya Ben Allouch 05 May '17

05 May '17

Please share widely. Apologies for cross-posting! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- *Call for Papers* Adoption and Acceptance of eHealth: Beyond the current state-of-the-art A workshop, held in conjunction with INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India www.interactehealth.com 25th - 26th September, 2017 Workshop topic: The main approach taken in adoption and acceptance studies of interactive health technologies mainly follows a quantitative approach, often based on theoretical approaches such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) or the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Such studies mostly focus on a few, abstract factors, such as ease of use or perceived usefulness presuming a linear process of acceptance, but fail to give an in-depth overview of what exactly speeds up adoption and acceptance within a real-life context, also on the long term. In all, studies that show how different types of users with different needs and expectations make use of these technologies in specific healthcare contexts are crucial to inform the design of new interactive health technologies and their implementation strategies. The objective of this workshop is to discuss where we are today on the adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies and from this position, define a roadmap to push this field forward. Call for papers: The aim of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers from both industry and academia to discuss best practices as well as pitfalls of adoption and acceptance of interactive technologies in healthcare and to provide the Interact community with guidelines to inform future developments and implementation of their interactive health systems. We welcome multi-disciplinary contributions from the many disciplines and approaches that intersect with interactive health technologies (e.g. engineering, computer sciences, (interactive) design, sociology, anthropology, psychology, neurosciences, cognitive sciences, communication science, cultural studies, nursing, fine and media arts, and law, etc.). You are welcome to submit a paper on one of the following topics: * Adoption and acceptance studies of interactive health technologies that expand upon TAM and UTAUT * Studies of adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies that are based on different models than TAM or UTAUT (e.g., the Task-Technology Fit Model) * Qualitative studies of adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies * Longitudinal studies of adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies * Studies that focus on a specific factor that affects adoption or acceptance of interactive health technologies (e.g., trust, privacy, control, aesthetics) * Position papers on the topic of adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies Paper format: We welcome prospective participants to submit extended abstracts (max. 4 pages) covering any relevant topic (related to the problem statement on the homepage) addressing the adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies. In addition to papers presenting empirical research, we also welcome papers about new theoretical perspectives, new methodological challenges, and design challenges related to interactive health technologies. The manuscripts should use the conference format. Please submit a PDF copy of your manuscript to s.benallouch(a)saxion.nl and l.vanvelsen(a)rrd.nl Workshop organizers: Somaya Ben Allouch, Saxion University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands Lex van Velsen, Roessingh Research and Development, The Netherlands Timeline June 9, 2017: Submission deadline for workshop papers June 29, 2017: Notification of acceptance into workshops July 31, 2017: Camera ready workshop position papers (INTERACT deadline.
