Conference call for papers: Island Cities and Urban Archipelagos
by Adam Grydehoj 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

'Island Cities and Urban Archipelagos' 21-25 October 2014, Copenhagen, Denmark<http://www.islanddynamics.org/islandcities.html> 'Island Cities and Urban Archipelagos' will explore the cultures, economies, and politics of urban areas based on islands worldwide. Papers are particularly being sought concerning how changes in IT and other technologies are affecting the ways in which culture, government, and economy function in such island cities. Islands are often associated with peripherality, yet over the course of human history, they have also been important sites of urban development. Many important regional cities and global cities have developed wholly or partially on small islands or archipelagos. Physical separation from the mainland and spatial limitations along with a maritime tradition can encourage the transport of products and ideas, improved defence infrastructure, construction of social capital, consolidation of political power, formation of vibrant cultures, and concentration of population. Some such island-based cities were located on inland river islands and have since expanded far beyond their original borders (for example, Paris and Strasbourg) while others are still strongly associated with their island cores (for example, Hong Kong and New York City). Major population centres located on larger, primarily rural islands and archipelagos represent another type of island city. Each of these cities is affected not just by the dynamics at work in urban areas in general but also by the special functions it gains from acting as a metropolis that provides goods and services to rural island hinterlands. 'Island Cities and Urban Archipelagos is an international, interdisciplinary academic conference exploring how island status influences urban development, common attributes of island cities worldwide, and the opportunities that islandness presents for developing urban cultures and economies. It will also consider how and why different island cities have developed in different ways. Visit the conference website (<http://www.islanddynamics.org/islandcities.html> ) to see the call for papers and learn more. The deadline for abstracts is 30 April 2014. Plenary Speakers: Saskia Sassen, Jon Pierre, Godfrey Baldacchino, Christian Wicchman Matthiessen, and Brenda S.A. Yeoh. Organising Partners: University of Portsmouth's Centre of Art, Architecture & Design; Memorial University of Newfoundland's Harris Centre of Regional Policy & Development; Lund University's Department of Human Geography; and Queen's University Belfast's School of Geography, Archaeology, and Paleoecology.

Hypertext 2014: One more week to submit your workshop or tutorial proposal
by Denis Parra 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

(Apologies for cross-posting) Did you miss the deadline for submitting a workshop or tutorial proposal? Our workshop chairs, Federica and Christoph, are still accepting proposals until 11 March. Please see more details below: =============== CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ================ In conjunction with Hypertext 2014, the 25th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media. Santiago, Chile, September 1-4, 2014 http://ht.acm.org/ht2014/ March 11, 2014: Workshop proposals due ========================================================================= The ACM Hypertext conference focuses on all aspects of modern hypertext research including social media, semantic web, dynamic and computed hypertext and hypermedia as well as narrative systems and applications. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the 25th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media conference. Hypertext 2014 workshops will provide participants with opportunities to discuss and explore emerging areas of Hypertext and Social Media with fellow students, researchers, and practitioners from Industry and Academia. The goals of the workshops are to provide a a more informal setting for exchanging opinions, to share experiences, presenting ideas, foster research community and identify open problems and/or explore directions for future research. As such, they also offer a good opportunity for researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community in an interactive atmosphere. Proposals are especially encouraged on emerging topics, somehow related to the main conference tracks (links and connection between people, open data and the semantic of things, user experience and adaptive linking), but are not limited to other (novel) topics which might be of interest for the hypertext community. Acceptance of workshop proposals will be based on the experience and background of the organizers in the topic, and on the relevance of the subject matter with regard to the topics addressed in the main conference. We welcome proposals for different types of workshops, from working groups on a specific topic to more traditional conference-like workshops. However, we prefer interactive workshops that guarantee richer active interactions among participants and provide significant room for controversial and stimulating discussions. We preferentially would rather proposals for half-day workshops. The need for a full-day workshop should be motivated by some particular reason. Potential proposers are invited to discuss their ideas with the workshop chair before working out a detailed proposal. ===========================PROPOSAL FORMAT ============================= The workshop proposals – not longer than 5 pages - have to be sent by email to theworkshop chairs, and must contain the following information: - Title of the workshop and acronym - Workshop organisers (affiliation, contact details, homepage, and prior experiences with workshop organization. - Keywords (describing the main themes of the workshop) (from 3 to 5) - Abstract (up to 70 words) - Description of the workshop (topics and goals of the workshop) (up to 500 words) - Motivation (why the topic is of interest for the conference audience) - Workshop format (paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demo, discussion, etc) - Submissions format (position papers, research papers, demo, poster, presentations..) and, for each type of submission, specify the features (length of the papers, template, etc) - Intended audience and expected attendance (with historical data of past versions of the workshop, if available) - Initial list of (potential) members of the program committee - Requested duration (half day or full day- in this case, motivation for the need of a full day) - Previous editions of the workshop series (if applicable) (URLs, conference it was co-located with, number of registrants, number of submissions, number of accepted papers, and any other relevant information) The Workshop Proceedings will be published in the ACM Hypertext Extended Proceedings. If the organizers have addition plans for dissemination (for example, a special issue of a journal) this needs to specified in the proposal. =============== ORGANIZATION OF WORKSHOP =============== After the acceptance of a workshop proposal, the organizer(s) should: - Create and distribute a Call for Papers and a Call for Participation; - Create a Web page for the workshop, with the call for papers and the information about the workshop organization and timeline. The link of the web site will be published on the Conference Web site; - Create a Program Committee; - Review and select contributions to be included in the workshop proceedings (at least 2 reviewers for each paper); - Schedule and coordinate the workshop activities. - Put together accepted papers into electronic workshop proceedings, to be published in the Extended Proceedings of ACM Hypertext 2014. =============== IMPORTANT DATES =============== March 11, 2014: Workshop proposals due March 14, 2014: Decisions announced September 1, 2014: Workshop and Tutorial day =============== SUGGESTED TIMELINE =============== Workshop web site: March 21, 2014 Workshop Call for Papers: March 21, 2014 Paper submission deadline: May 23, 2014 Notification to authors: June 6, 2014 ================== WORKSHOP CHAIRS ================== Federica Cena, University of Torino, Italy E-mail: cena(a)di.unito.it Web: http://www.di.unito.it/~cena/ Christoph Trattner, University of Gaz, Austria E-mail: trattner.christoph(a)gmail.com web: http://christophtrattner.info ================== Thanks, Denis Parra Local and Publicity chair, HT 2014 CS Department, PUC Chile http://ht.acm.org/ht2014/
