Recommendations for short literary fiction and films on "digital culture"?
by Emma Stamm 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hello all, I am putting together a syllabus for an interdisciplinary arts/humanities course that will include a unit on art and culture of the digital age. I am currently seeking short literary fiction and films/video clips I can use to introduce college students (mostly freshmen and sophomores) to "digital culture" in its various forms and guises. I am particularly interested in works published after 1980, although if anyone can recommend their favorite short stories by Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, women writers and writers of color, I'd be very appreciative. Thank you so much! All the best, Emma Stamm *Emma Stamm, MS* *PhD Student & Instructor, Department of Religion and Culture* *Virginia State Polytechnic University* *www.realyou.me <http://www.realyou.me> | @turing_tests*

The explosive growth in data, the opening of data, large-scale data exchange platforms, data provided by the Internet of Things and increasing computational power creates new opportunities for innovating government. These developments have resulted in a repertoire of instruments and tools to gather, process, analyse, visualize and make use of the huge amount of data. These developments also bring with them new challenges and risks. The track also invites researchers interested in the underlying assumptions behind, and consequences of, opening up and sharing big data, focusing on issues such as transparency, accountability, and other social and societal issues that are related to this topic. Areas of focus and interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * The role of big and open data in public sector innovation * Governance of open and big data * Impact on society and/or public administration * The role of public, private and societal stakeholders in data sharing and use * Reasons for, and consequences of, opening up and sharing government data * Drivers and barriers for/to adoption of open (and big) data as well as open government as a whole * Critical studies on open government and open (and big) data * Methods for sharing and using big data, such as data processing, analysing and visualization * Data and information quality * Data-driven public service delivery * Predictive and pattern modelling on big and open linked data * Software as service (SaaS), utility computing, shared services * Service-oriented architectures, orchestration and composition * Cloud computing in government * Metadata, ontologies and semantic approaches * Infrastructure and enterprise architecture planning * Transparency and accountability issues related to open and big data * Value of applications based on government big data * The Internet of Things from a big-data perspective * Smart Big data apps and dashboards for decision making Submission types • Completed research papers (up to 12 pages, published in LCNS Springer). Papers in this category deal with completed research.

These papers can describe novel concepts, works-in-progress, or other ideas and issues that are not currently suitable for a completed research paper. They will also be peer reviewed but the emphasis is on relevance more than scientific rigor. • Workshops and panels on pertinent issues (2 pages, published by IOS Press). Proposals for workshops and panels should include rationale, objectives, expected outcomes and approach to audience participation. • Poster proposals (2 pages, published by IOS Press). Authors of accepted submissions are expected to bring their posters which will be displayed to the conference audience.
