Call for Workshop Papers Seventh Workshop on “Advanced Techniques on Data Analytics and Data Visualization" In Conjunction with the Eleventh International Conference on Digital Information Management (ICDIM 2018) http://icdim.org/workshops.html Berlin, Germany September 24-26, 2018 Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Accepted workshop papers will be published in the proceedings indexed by IEEE Xplore. About the Workshop Data are growing at an exponential rate nowadays. In order to take advantage of them, it is important for businesses and organizations to be able to make sense out of them by determining the trends, patterns and underlying insights of the gathered data. Hence problems can be detected early before they result in actual damage. Some examples of data analytics cover tasks of finding suspicious records in accounts payable, evaluating activities of business processes, modeling customers’ behavioral patterns and deriving the best strategies in business decision etc. Such complex tasks go beyond simple statistics. Advanced tools such as data mining, data modeling, data visualization, and information analysis etc. have been extensively researched recently. The objective of this workshop is to provide an interactive platform for academic researchers and industrial practitioners to exchange ideas, disseminate the latest development in data analytics and data visualization. Conceptual models, tools, and current issues are encouraged to be discussed. The workshop welcomes paper submission includes but not limited to the following areas: Data retrieval and management Innovative methods for understanding and interacting with data Innovative methods for data analysis, presentation and visualization Innovative methods for solving current data problems New statistics techniques for improving current solutions Advanced software system and algorithms for data visualization Domain specific data analytics and data visualization Social network analytics and visualization Forensic analytics and visualization Business process analytics and visualization Industry solutions and/or experiences Case studies Submissions Submissions should provide original and unpublished research results or ongoing research with simulations. The papers should be between 6 to 8 pages total in length in the IEEE format. * All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE and fully indexed by IEEE Xplore. All the ICDIM papers are indexed by DBLP (http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icdim/index.html) * Modified version of the selected papers will appear in the special issues of the following peer reviewed and indexed journals. 1.

WEBCAST TODAY: Force of Nature – Celebrating 20 Years of the Laws of Cyberspace
by Joly MacFie 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

The 1998 paper/speech <https://cyber.harvard.edu/works/lessig/laws_cyberspace.pdf> by Larry Lessig that this event celebrates was remarkably prescient. He foresaw many of the problems that are only just now becoming pain points, and speculated as to solutions. Here is its concluding paragraph: > *Cyberspace is regulated ¾ by laws, but not just by law. The code of > cyberspace is one of these laws. We must come to see how this code is an > emerging sovereign — omnipresent, omnipotent, gentle, efficient, growing — > and that we must develop against this sovereign the limits that we have > developed against real space sovereigns. Sovereigns will always say — real > space as well as cyberspace — that limits, and inefficiencies — bugs — are > not necessary. But things move too quickly for such confidence. My fear is > not just that against this sovereign, we have not yet developed a language > of liberty. Nor that we haven’t the time to develop such language. But my > fear is that we sustain the will — the will of free societies for the past > two centuries, to architect constitutions to protect freedom, efficiencies > notwithstanding.* This will be a very interesting session. 4pm NYC time.

Hello everyone. I am a Brazilian student and I would like to use Quintly in my research. However, Quintly is very expensive. Does anyone know something similar (cheaper)? I need to compare three Facebook pages. Thank you very much.

CFP - Semantic Web for Social Good workshop at ISWC-2018
by Hemant Purohit 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Workshop: Semantic Web for Social Good (SW4SG) Conference: ISWC2018 Call for Submissions: https://sw4sg.github.io/ISWC2018/ ****** Submission Deadline: June 1, 2018 (11:59 PM HAST) Decisions to Authors: June 27, 2018 ****** Workshop Location: Monterrey, CA Workshop Date: October 9, 2018 Workshop Goals: Many Social Good topics can benefit from the sort of unplanned, cross-domain, rapid-prototyping analysis that Linked Data makes possible. We’ve learned that measuring topics like poverty, health, economic opportunity and equality can be substantially more nuanced by considering broader categories of data than organizations traditionally collect for their own use. There have been individual past presentations on topics that involve Semantic Web for Social Good. This workshop is intended to present multiple topics, to better identify intersections, overlaps, opportunities for accelerated advancement, and opportunities for shared abstractions. To generate the best discussion on shared domain and cross-domain uses, we encourage submissions from the full array of Social Good topics. Submissions: Because we are looking to promote discussion about an emerging area, our goal is to be open to new or early stage ideas and work. Please submit extended abstracts (2 pages), short papers (2 to 5 pages), posters, or demos. Written documents should be in PDF format and not anonymized. Posters should be in PDF, PNG, or GIF. Demos should be submitted as video in MP4 of no longer than 7 minutes; demos must be submitted with an abstract or short paper. Submissions to SW4SG on EasyChair. Committee Chairs: K Krasnow Waterman, Visiting Scientist, MIT; CEO, LawTechIntersect, LLC. Deborah McGuinness, Tetherless World Senior Constellation Professor, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. James Hendler, Director of the Rensselaer Institute for Data Exploration and Applications (IDEA), Tetherless World, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
