PUBLICATION> Social Informatics: Past, Present, Future
by Howard Rosenbaum 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Apologies for cross-posting We are very happy to announce the publications of the book "Social Informatics: Past, Present and Future," edited by Pnina Fichman and Howard Rosenbaum, both in the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing and the Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics. The book is a collection of twelve papers that provides a state-of-the-art review of 21st century social informatics. Two papers review the history of social informatics, and show that its intellectual roots can be found in the late 1970s and early '80s and that it emerged in several different locations around the world before it coalesced in the US in the mid-1990s. The evolution of social informatics is described under four periods: foundational work, development and expansion, a robust period of coherence, and a period of diversification that continues today. Five papers provide a view of the breadth and depth of contemporary social informatics, demonstrating the diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches that can be used. Five papers explore the future of social informatics and offer provocative and disparate visions of its trajectory, ranging from arguments for a new philosophical grounding for the social informatics, to calls for a social informatics based on practice thinking and materiality. This book presents a view of SI that emphasizes the core relationship among people, ICT and organizational and social life from a perspective that integrate aspects of social theory and demonstrates clearly social informatics has never been a more necessary research endeavor than it is now. It will be especially useful for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students interested in learning about social informatics research.

CFP: 2nd Call - History of Modernity and Telephony in the non-West
by Vit Sisler 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

History of Modernity and Telephony in the non-West Call for Papers CyberOrient: Online Journal of the Virtual Middle East Editor-in-Chief: Daniel Martin Varisco Guest Editor: Burçe Çelik Submission deadline: April 30th, 2014 (Full Papers) Aim For the past few decades, history of modernization began to be written by focusing on how technologies as components of modernization processes change the lives of humans, their daily practices and imaginations, and the ways in which they construct and express their identities. Telephony, which functions in both public and private spheres and witnesses social and political changes in private as well as professional relations, is regarded as especially important for historical analysis. Functioning on multiple levels, social history of telephony can unearth the ways in which technologies obtain meanings and values in changing cultural contexts and the dynamics of social, political and cultural transformations. The history of modernization in the non-western societies is often studied by focusing on the projects of the rulers and on the discourses of the ruling parties that aim a social/political change in accordance with a particular Occidentalism – where modernity is imagined with a model of the western modernization processes. Yet, the question of how people of these landscapes contributed to the modernization processes and how they produced their own modern practices in daily organizations, relations and experiences, did not receive enough scholarly attention. This special issue of CyberOrient invites articles that focus on the history of modernity and telephony in the non-west that take the user perspective to the center. Topics could include the daily practices of users with telephone technology, the meaning and values that have been attributed to this technology by users, the role of telephony within the social, cultural and political struggles of users, and the effect of the ownership or non-ownership of telephony in social, cultural and political lives of individuals and collectives. We welcome submissions from across disciplines and methodological approaches that are empirically and critically grounded. About CyberOrient CyberOrient (http://www.cyberorient.net/) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the American Anthropological Association, in collaboration with the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague. The aim of the journal is to provide research and theoretical considerations on the representation of Islam and the Middle East, the very areas that used to be styled as an “Orient”, in cyberspace, as well as the impact of the internet and new media in Muslim and Middle Eastern contexts. Submission Articles should be submitted directly to Burçe Çelik (burce.celik(a)bahcesehir.edu.tr) and Vit Sisler (vit.sisler(a)ff.cuni.cz) Articles should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words (including references), and follow the AAA style in referencing and citations. Upon acceptance, articles will be published online with free access in autumn 2014. More information can be found here: http://www.cyberorient.net/detail.do?articleId=3682 -- Vit Sisler, Ph.D. Charles University in Prague Faculty of Arts Institute of Information Science and Librarianship New Media Studies http://uisk.jinonice.cuni.cz/sisler/

14 Apr '14

Apologies for cross-postings ================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------------- International Workshop on Social Personalization (SP'2014) http://columbus.exp.sis.pitt.edu/sp2014/ to be held on September 1st, 2014, Santiago, Chile co-located with ACM HT 2014 -------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: ** Submission Deadline: May 23rd 2014 (23:59 Chile Time) ** Notification of Acceptance: Jun 6, 2014 ** Final Papers Due: Jul 6, 2014 ** Workshop date: September 1, 2014 Workshop Organizers: Peter Brusilovsky (University of Pittsburgh, USA) Leandro Balby Marinho (Federal University of Campina Grande, Brasil) Denis Parra (Pontificia Universidad Catolica, Chile) Eliana Scheihing (Universidad Austral, Chile) Christoph Trattner (Know-Center, Austria) For the Social Personalization workshop, we aim to attract researchers from all over the world working in the fields of User Modeling, Personalization and Recommendations where the social context plays a fundamental role. This topic is important because it involves leveraging new sources of information that are specific for social systems such as shared items and tags, user public profiles, social connections, and logs of user social activities in order to improve people's information access in a wide variety of tasks and across different devices. These social information sources offer social personalization systems a chance to compensate for the lack of information and structure that is used by traditional personalization technologies ranging from recommender systems to E-learning. Thus, we invite submissions which may include the following topics, but are not limited to: * novel approaches for social personalization in recommender systems * novel approaches on personalized social collaboration * novel approaches on social linking * novel methods for social search and navigation * novel methods for social predictive models * novel social methods for information visualization and display * applications of the aforementioned topics to diverse domains (education, smart cities, music, etc.) * any other methods that exploit new forms of social data for personalization The goal of this workshop is to share and discuss research that goes hopefully beyond classic personalization techniques, trying to capitalise potentially useful information available in social data for paving the way to more efficient personalized information access technologies. Submissions: We solicit posters (1-2 pages) and research papers (4-6 pages), both in the ACM conference paper style. Papers should be submitted in EasyChair to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sp2014 Program Committee: Nazareno Andrade, University of Campina Grande, Brazil Jussara Almeida, University of Minas Gerais, Brazil Martin Atzmueller, University of Kassel, Germany Alejandro Bellogin, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain Shlomo Berkovsky, NICTA, AU Anmol Bhasin, LinkedIn, USA Danny Bickson, GraphLab, USA Steven Bourke, UCD, Ireland Robin Burke, de Paul, USA Ed Chi, Google, USA Alvin Chin, Nokia, China Vania Dimitrova, University of Leeds, UK Lucas Drumond, University Hildesheim, Germany Alexander Felfernig, TU-Graz, Austria Zeno Gantner, Nokia, Germany Ruth Garcia, Yahoo!

by Zara Dinnen 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

AOIR-ers, *with apologies for cross posting The deadline for applications to Researching Contemporary Culture has now been extended until 5th May 2014. Researching Contemporary Culture is a series of summer workshops for postgraduate and early career researchers. It takes place from the 14th to 16th July 2014 at the Institute of English Studies, Senate House London. Researching Contemporary Culture aims to help researchers in the field address an array of issues that currently define the study of contemporary culture by offering workshops and presentations on: developing the impact of research through exhibition, curation, and the championing of particular artists'/directors'/authors' work; producing research for open access publications; balancing public engagement and research needs; using online participatory culture as a research tool; conducting sustainable research with ephemeral data. The event will bring together specialist workshop leaders, speakers, and librarians to address these challenges through a research skills development programme of participatory workshops and advice and guidance. Researching Contemporary Culture has evolved out of the work of the Contemporary Fiction Seminar at the Institute of English Studies, and will offer a sustainable research skills enrichment programme appropriate for the study of contemporary culture in the arts and humanities disciplines of the twenty-first century. Speakers include: Caroline Bassett, Clare Birchall, Kieran Connell, Jeremy Gilbert, Gary Hall, Matt Hills, Roger Luckhurst, Holly Pester, Ernesto Priego, Agnes Woolley. The three workshop themes are: Public Practices, Archiving Now, and Interpretive Communities. Researching Contemporary Culture is supported by an AHRC Collaborative Skills Award; with additional support from the University of Birmingham, Birkbeck, University of London, and the Institute of English Studies, University of London; it is organised by Dr Zara Dinnen (University of Birmingham) and Dr Tony Venezia (Birkbeck, University of London), conveners of the Contemporary Fiction Seminar. Further information and details of how to apply are available at the website: researchingthecontemporary.net. Please email contemporaryfictionseminar(a)gmail.com with any queries. -- Dr Zara Dinnen Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature School of English, Drama and American and Canadian Studies University of Birmingham + 44 (0) 121 414 5657

admin thread related to e-mail lists and e-mail blocking
by Peter Timusk 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

admin thread related to e-mail lists and e-mail blocking Context I was starting to stop receiving a lot of e-mail then e-mail lists told me I was bouncing and eventually I was kicked off one list. That list was air-l Sympatico run by Bell Canada contracts it's e-mail out of Microsoft's hotmail. Here is an explanation by another list owner about yahoo. ________________________________________ From: JiscMail Helpline <helpline(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Sent: 11 April 2014 14:53 To: OWNERS-ANNOUNCE(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [OWNERS-ANNOUNCE] Issue affecting Yahoo email subscribers to lists OWNERS-ANNOUNCE: You have received this message because you are registered as an owner of a JiscMail mailing list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo have recently changed the security settings on their email servers which is causing major issues with mailing list services across the world, including JiscMail. Yahoo have changed their security settings in a way that causes emails sent through a mailing list service to be identified as junk-mail by email providers that using certain security systems. This causes many email providers including Google, Microsoft and Yahoo themselves, to reject any list emails originating from a Yahoo account. These rejections, can in some cases, cause subscribers to be removed from lists due to the number of rejected messages. In order to protect our subscribers and our service we have been advised to stop Yahoo subscribers from posting to *any* JiscMail lists and we have implemented this change. Yahoo subscribers will still receive messages from lists. If a Yahoo subscriber tries to post to your list, the message will be forwarded to the list owner(s) with this message: The enclosed message, found in the L-SOFT mailbox and shown under the spool ID 278571919 in the system log, has been identified as a possible delivery Error notice for the following reason: mail origin is listed in the "Filter=" List header keyword (or its default value for the L-SOFT list). Unfortunately this message cannot be edited. We would also recommend that if you have subscribers on your list using Yahoo email accounts then we would ask you to: 1. Post a message to your list (or contact them off the list) and pass on the information from this message. 2. Ask your Yahoo subscribers to re-join your list using a non-Yahoo email service provider. 3. Ask your Yahoo subscribers to contact Yahoo to complain about the changes to their security settings. We are also posting this message to JISCMAIL-NEWSLETTER but are aware that not all of our subscribers are members of this list, so you may wish to post this message to your list. We have stopped email addresses being automatically deleted from lists - in case Yahoo subscribers have already posted to lists.

Interesting what SAS can do with Internet data gathering
by Peter Timusk 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

I work with Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) every day at work. So I follow things when they do with Internet Research. SAS have a new Free version for Universities called Analytics U. You may find this blog on their support site fun as there is a video from the recent SAS Global Forum that looks at basic analysis in a humours way of Internet data. There is a windows app in here that can download your facebook for some data in a SAS program format but you can parse this program for the data if you don't have SAS as the programs are just text files.
