Call for Papers: ACM RecSys 2017
by Christoph Trattner 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

** Please forward to anyone who might be interested ** -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2017) to be held in Como, Italy, 27th-31th August 2017 https://recsys.acm.org/recsys17/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Eleventh ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2017), the premier venue for research and applications of recommendation technologies. The upcoming RecSys conference will be held in Como, Italy, from August, 27th to August 31st, 2017. The conference will continue RecSys’ practice of connecting the research and practitioner communities to exchange ideas, frame problems, and share solutions. All the accepted papers will be published by ACM. We construe recommender systems broadly, including applications ranging from e-commerce to social networking, platforms from web to mobile and beyond, and a wide variety of technologies ranging from collaborative filtering to knowledge-based reasoning. Topics of interest for RecSys 2017 include (but are not limited to): - Algorithm scalability - Case studies of real-world implementations - Conversational recommender systems - Context-aware recommenders - Evaluation metrics and studies - Explanations and evidence - Field and user studies - Group recommenders - Innovative/New applications - Machine learning for recommendation - Mobile and multi-channel recommendations - Novel paradigms - Personalisation - Preference elicitation - Privacy and Security - Recommendation algorithms - Social recommenders - Semantic technologies for recommendation - Trust and reputation - Theoretical foundations - User interaction and interfaces - User modelling The authors will be asked to indicate whether their paper is primarily Algorithm or Application focussed. Algorithm papers should discuss novel algorithmic approaches to recommendation challenges, with appropriate evaluations and comparisons to baseline works. Application papers should discuss new domains or large-scale applications of recommenders or focus on user experience, interface, or impact. This will allow the PC Chairs to better assign reviewers and to balance the program. PAPER SUBMISSION CATEGORIES LONG PAPERS should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 8 pages (plus up to 1 page references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program. We expect the review process to be highly selective: the acceptance rates for full papers in the past three years were 20-24%. SHORT PAPERS typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. The maximum length is 4 pages (plus up to 1 page references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference. The presentation may include a system demonstration. Note that rejected long paper submissions will not be considered as short papers. SIGCHI SUBMITTER AGREEMENT RecSys 2017 is a SIGCHI conference and making a submission to a SIGCHI conference is a serious matter. Submissions require time and effort by SIGCHI volunteers to organise and manage the reviewing process, and, if the submission is accepted, the publication and presentation process. Thus, anyone who submits to RecSys 2017 implicitly confirms the following statements: - I confirm that this submission is the work of myself and my co-authors. - I confirm that I or my co-authors hold copyright to the content, and have obtained appropriate permissions for any portions of the content that are copyrighted by others. - I confirm that any research reported in this submission involving human subjects has gone through the appropriate approval process at my institution. - I confirm that if this paper is accepted, I or one of my co-authors will attend the conference. Papers that are not presented at the conference by an author may be removed from the proceedings at the discretion of the program chairs. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. RecSys 2017 submissions should be prepared according to the standard double-column ACM SIG proceedings format. Additional information about formatting and style files is available online, see: http://www.acm.org/public ations/proceedings-template Papers must be submitted to EasyChair by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on April 3rd, 2017, see: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recsys2017 There will be no extensions to the submission deadline. The peer review process is double-blind (i.e. anonymised). This means that all submissions must not include information identifying the authors or their organisation. Specifically, do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, anonymise citations to your previous work and avoid providing any other information that would allow to identify the authors, such as acknowledgments and funding. Please take note that the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission deadline: March 27th, 2017 Paper submission deadline: April 3rd, 2017 Author notification: June 12th, 2017 Camera-ready version deadline: July 7th, 2017 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

Next week: Social Justice and Datafication / Launch of Data Justice Lab, Cardiff University
by Arne Hintz 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Social Justice in an Age of Datafication: Launching the Data Justice Lab Friday 17 March, 4pm Cardiff University, UK Our financial transactions, communications, movements, relationships, and interactions with government and corporations all increasingly generate data that are used to profile and sort groups and individuals. These processes can affect both individuals as well as entire communities that may be denied services and access to opportunities, or wrongfully targeted and exploited. In short, they impact on our ability to participate in society. The emergence of this data paradigm therefore introduces a particular set of power dynamics requiring investigation and critique. The Data Justice Lab (https://datajusticelab.org/) is a new space for research and collaboration at Cardiff University that has been established to examine the relationship between datafication and social justice. With this launch event, we ask: What does social justice mean in an age of datafication? How are data-driven processes impacting on certain communities? In what way does big data change our understanding of governance and politics? And what can we do about it? Keynote speakers: Virginia Eubanks (New America) Malavika Jayaram (Digital Asia Hub) Steven Renderos (Center for Media Justice) The event will be followed by a reception. The launch event is free but requires pre-booking at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/social-justice-in-an-age-of-datafication-launc… More information at https://datajusticelab.org/2017/02/13/social-justice-in-an-age-of-dataficat… ---------------- Dr Arne Hintz Senior Lecturer | Director MA Digital Media and Society Co-Director Data Justice Lab School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies | Cardiff University Bute Building, King Edward VII Avenue | Cardiff CF10 3NB Email: HintzA(a)cardiff.ac.uk | Tel: +44 (0)29 208 76281 | Twitter: @arne_hz Fellow | Center for Media, Data and Society | Central European University

New Open Access Book: The Web as History: Using Web Archives to Understand the Past and the Present
by Major, Alison 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

***We apologise for any cross-posting*** UCL Press is delighted to announce the publication of a new open access book that may be of interest to readers of this list: The Web as History: Using Web Archives to Understand the Past and the Present, edited by Niels Brügger and Ralph Schroeder. Download free: https://goo.gl/q3xQGq ******************************************************* The Web as History: Using Web Archives to Understand the Past and the Present Edited by Niels Brügger and Ralph Schroeder Download free: https://goo.gl/q3xQGq ******************************************************* The World Wide Web has now been in use for more than 20 years. From early browsers to today's principal source of information, entertainment and much else, the Web is an integral part of our daily lives, to the extent that some people believe 'if it's not online, it doesn't exist.' While this statement is not entirely true, it is becoming increasingly accurate, and reflects the Web's role as an indispensable treasure trove. It is curious, therefore, that historians and social scientists have thus far made little use of the Web to investigate historical patterns of culture and society, despite making good use of letters, novels, newspapers, radio and television programmes, and other pre-digital artefacts. This volume argues that now is the time to question what we have learnt from the Web so far. The 12 chapters explore this topic from a number of interdisciplinary angles - through histories of national web spaces and case studies of different government and media domains - as well as an introduction that provides an overview of this exciting new area of research.

CALL FOR PAPERS: ACM Transactions on Social Computing
by Kevin G Crowston 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

CALL FOR PAPERS Transactions on Social Computing A New ACM Journal ________________________________ [http://www.acm.org/binaries/content/gallery/acm/membership/tsc_cover.jpg] INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS ACM Transactions on Social Computing (TSC) seeks to publish work that covers the full spectrum of social computing including theoretical, empirical, systems, and design research contributions. The editorial perspective is that social computing is fundamentally about computing systems and techniques in which users interact, directly or indirectly, with what they believe to be other users or other users’ contributions. TSC welcomes research employing a wide range of methods to advance the tools, techniques, understanding, and practice of social computing, including: theoretical, algorithmic, empirical, experimental, qualitative, quantitative, ethnographic, design, and engineering research. Social computing will continue to be shaped by foundational algorithmic, econometric, psychological, sociological, and social science research and these broad based perspectives will continue to have a profound influence on how social computing systems are designed, built and how they grow. TSC particularly solicits research that designs, implements or studies systems that mediate social interactions among users, or that develops or studies theory or techniques for application in those systems. Examples of such social computing systems include, but are not limited to: instant messaging, blogs, wikis, social networks, social tagging, social recommenders, collaborative editors and shared repositories. The scope of research covered within TSC includes: * Understanding motivations for contributing to and participating in social computing systems * Tools that help users understand the individual and collective roles of participants in social computing systems * The influence of scale; how differing scales of human and machine participation changes the designs and adoptions of systems * Micro-tasking systems and techniques for decomposing complex activities into recomposable tasks that can be completed by mixtures of people and machines * System architectures and infrastructure for developing social computing platforms * Foundational algorithmic analysis that accounts for human and machine data and runtime complexity * The roles of artificial agents in social computing spaces, the design, creation, and management of those agents relative to social interactions within a social computing system * Research on privacy mechanisms -- both formal and interactive -- related to social computing data and systems * Research on algorithms for personalization within a social computing context, including recommender systems and social matchmaking systems * Research on crowdsourcing, collaborative content creation, productive social gaming, citizen science and other mechanisms and applications of aggregating individual contributions for a collective goal * Research studying communications patterns in online communication forums * Ethnographic case studies of social computing in situ * Algorithms for extracting knowledge from social computing usage data and artifacts * Ethical and policy issues in social computing TSC continues ACM's commitment to high quality / high impact journals while seeking to create a bridge across the many disciplines that inform social computing. ACM Instructions to Authors can be found at www.acm.org/publications/submissions<http://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-1110ex3e0d6x05688&> .
