01 Jul '24

Fourth International Conference on Digital Data Processing (DDP 2024) Yeshiva University. New York. US September 30-October 01, 2024 (www.socio.org.uk/ddp) (IEEE Xplore indexed) As technology advances in different sub-domains of computing, data-driven models are becoming increasingly important. The data-dependent world now faces many challenges in terms of data accuracy and data privacy. High-impact advancements include machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning and many more. Data is growing exponentially in terms of diversity and complexity. One organization or industry processes over a few million transactions per hour and stores hundreds of billions of data. We live in a world with a great need for more efficient data analysis and processing. Data analytics can reveal hidden patterns, complex relationships, internal information relations, and even segmentation. Data applications have opened up new possibilities in every aspect of our lives. Studying data and its structure, dynamics, and modern data technologies is ongoing. There is a great deal of literature and research on data management, but it does not address the data processing needs. Many studies focus on developing models and systems for analyzing large datasets. Data analysis leads to application domains that have a systematic impact on decisions. The knowledge gained from the data analysis enables the generation of critical information for multiple domains. In this conference, we review and discuss the latest trends in data management, the opportunities and challenges, and how they have affected organizations' ability to develop effective business and technology strategies and stay up-to-date in data technology. We also highlight current open research directions in data analytics that need further attention. The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data Ecosystem Business Analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Synthetic data Data synthesis Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modelling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning impact on data processing Network optimization Data in Biomedical Engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Wireless Networking Data Management Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems Multi-media Systems Data Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data E-Computing Data Renewable Energies Data General Chair Honggang Wang, Yeshiva University, USA Program Chairs Youshan Zhang, Yeshiva University, USA Ezendu Ariwa, Warwick University, UK Simon Fong, University of Macau, Macau Program Co-chairs Martin Lopez Nores, University of Vigo, Spain Keynote Speakers 1.

Funded PhD Scholarship at Liverpool (" Islamicate Scholars, Algorithms and the Making of the Contemporary World: A Decolonial Study of Mathematical, Scientific and Technological Practice in the Islamic Golden Age")
by Brooker, Phillip 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

Hi all We have a new PhD Opportunity at the University of Liverpool, starting September/October 2024: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/islamicate-scholars-algorithms-and-th… Working in partnership with the World Museum Liverpool across their science and global cultures collection, the aim of the study is to recover the algorithmic methods developed during the Islamic Golden Age (in dialogue with a variety of Eastern traditions, primarily in India and China, as well those of Greece) through a series of re-enactments in the field of mathematics (arithmetic and algebra), technology (the astrolabe) and astronomy (via the systematic collection of data in the production of star charts). The project is an attempt to rethink computation, and by extension contemporary AI, ethnomethodologically but also in explicitly decolonial terms. The available funding can cover an MA/MRes as well as 3 years of PhD funding, so undergraduates with a broad background or desire to learn in the domains relevant to the study can apply. The PhD is also open to international students. A lot of support will also be made available to the successful candidate and the underlying mathematics, while groundbreaking at the time, is (relatively) elementary and knowledge of classical Arabic is not a pre-requisite – critical editions of all of the texts are available in translation. While the timescale is quite tight (with the application deadline being Friday 19th July), if any of your students are interested and want to know more, please do feel free to direct them to myself (p.d.brooker(a)liverpool.ac.uk) or Michael Mair (mdmair(a)liverpool.ac.uk) and we’ll happily answer any questions the students may have. Many thanks! Phil Brooker

CES Winter School Media and Sexual Violence - Coimbra, Portugal
by Inês Amaral 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

CES Winter School *Media and Sexual Violence* October 7 to 11, 2024 CES | Alta (Coimbra, Portugal) >> applications until 31 July *About* The ‘Media and Sexual Violence’ School is an opportunity to reflect on how we understand sexual violence from its representations in different media, from different disciplinary perspectives and from the work of community-based organisations. Its specific aim is to analyse how sexual violence is mediatised in contemporary society, and, in this sense, it will discuss practical and methodological research tools, as well as the ethical dilemmas and challenges that mark cultural productions and journalistic coverage. The School is being held as part of the UnCoveR project, the first comprehensive transdisciplinary study of sexual violence in Portuguese media landscapes. The project studies sexual violence as a phenomenon framed by notions of sexual normativity, masculinity, femininity, and power dynamics, which, in contexts such as Portugal, marked by sexism, social hierarchies and colonial legacies, interact with notions of race, ethnicity, religion, and nationality. The five-day School includes lectures, seminars, workshops, a cultural programme, a roundtable, a training session and focus groups. The speakers and trainers will be members of the project team and consultants, as well as journalists, activists, and professionals in the field of sexual violence. *Coordination: *Júlia Garraio, Sofia José Santos, Inês Amaral, Rita Basílio Simões, Rita Alcaire *Teaching staff: *Alexandre Sousa Carvalho (CES), Ana Rita Brito (AKTO), Ângelo Fernandes (Quebrar o Silêncio), Carla Cerqueira (CICANT, Universidade Lusófona), Daniela Sofia Neto (FEUC), Francisco Azevedo Mendes (Universidade do Minho), Gary Barker (Promundo/ CES), Inês Amaral (FLUC/CES), Isabel Ventura (CEMRI), Karen Boyle (University of Strathclyde), Joana Amaral Cardoso (Público), Júlia Garraio (CES), Maria João Faustino (CES), Marta Araújo (CES), Paula Cosme Pinto, Ricardo Higuera Mellado (Men Talks), Rita Alcaire (CES), Rita Almeida Carvalho (ICS), Rita Basílio Simões (FLUC/CES), Rita Santos (CES), Sérgio Pinto (Universidade Católica Portuguesa), Sílvia Roque (Universidade de Évora, CES), Sofia José Santos (FEUC/CES), Tatiana Moura (CES). *Target audience: *researchers and students in the areas of Communication Studies, Journalism, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies and other areas that intersect with the School's themes; activists in the struggle against sexual and gender-based violence; journalists and professionals in the areas of communication; cultural producers, managers, and organisers; the general public interested in these themes. *Working language: *Portuguese (and Keynote 1 in English) *Important dates:* Deadline for applications: 31 July 2024 Announcement of application results: 3 September 2024 Formalisation and payment of registration: until 15 September 2024 More information: https://ces.uc.pt/summerwinterschools/?lang=2&id=45184 Email: uncover(a)ces.uc.pt -- Inês Amaral Professora Associada | Associate Professor Universidade de Coimbra • Faculdade de Letras | University of Coimbra • Faculty of Arts and Humanities Largo da Porta Férrea | 3004-530 • Coimbra • Portugal Tel. | Phone: +351 239 410 090 E-mail: ines.amaral(a)uc.pt www.uc.pt | www.uc.pt/fluc -- Inês Amaral Professora Associada | Associate Professor Universidade de Coimbra • Faculdade de Letras | University of Coimbra • Faculty of Arts and Humanities Largo da Porta Férrea | 3004-530 • Coimbra • Portugal Tel. | Phone: +351 239 410 090 E-mail: ines.amaral(a)uc.pt www.uc.pt | www.uc.pt/fluc

NEW SCHOLARLY COLLECTIVE: The Content Creator Scholars Network (CCSN)
by Zoë Glatt 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

We’re pleased to announce the inauguration of the Content Creator Scholars Network (CCSN)! https://ccsn.framer.website/ The CCSN is an independent network of researchers dedicated to sharing knowledge and resources on the creator economy with the wider academic, technology, media, and regulatory communities. Our founding members' work spans six core themes: industries and economies; creative labor and resistance; platform infrastructure, governance and moderation; identity, inequality and marginalization; social media cultures and communities; and algorithms and AI. We can’t wait to develop more with you! What does the CCSN do? Representing a diverse range of disciplines and approaches, including media and communications, sociology, digital humanities, politics, anthropology and critical cultural studies, our network sets out to cultivate an international community of members and affiliates to promote additional perspectives and generate new research in the field of creator culture. CCSN members also produce educational resources, participate in journalistic interviews, connect with platforms and digital regulators, and organise events and spaces for creator studies research. At our core is the interest to engage with creators and the creator economy beyond observation, to create and contribute to dialogue with industry and workers in order to address concerns of power and in/equalities. Why do we need a CCSN? Social media platforms provide crucial opportunities for people to express themselves, find and build communities, promote small businesses, and earn a livelihood. But while these spaces are becoming key drivers of commerce and culture, they are also characterised by precarity, inequalities and power imbalances when it comes to governance, earnings and representation. As trained researchers, we are well poised to understand and redress the latter challenges, offering not only solutions but better questions about the trajectories of cultural work. The CCSN arose from academic conferences, events, roundtables and networking events where its founding members found similarities in the spaces, behaviours and issues they examined across different disciplines. By bringing an interdisciplinary perspective to the study of content creation, we hope to generate the necessary conversations and changes for creator work to be taken seriously, and to promote and inform policy and industry change. Through our research, we hope to advocate for improved working conditions, fair compensation, and greater forms of transparency and communication, to help them be taken seriously and compensated fairly. More broadly, we aim to advance conversations about information and entertainment in the digital age through focusing on the labor, struggles, and celebrations of those in the digital trenches, making content day in and day out.

OSNEM Special Issue:AI in Online Social Networks: opportunities and challenges
by Andrea Passarella 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier Online Social Networks and Media Journal (OSNEM) Special issue on AI in Online Social Networks: opportunities and challenges Submission Deadline: Continuous submissions until July 31st, 2024 https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/online-social-networks-and-media ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Online Social Networks and Media are a fundamental component of everyday life and the use of AI technologies in OSNEM can further boost their role. The use of AI in online social networks offers great opportunities and, at the same time, raises several challenges. AI's ability to analyze vast amounts of data in real-time allows social media platforms to offer highly personalized experiences to users. The use of AI may raise concerns about ethical issues such as privacy, algorithmic bias, misinformation, etc., but AI can also be used for content moderation on social media to detect and remove harmful or inappropriate content, identifying and mitigating the spread of fake news. etc. The use of AI on OSNEM can promote the democratic processes by facilitating the dissemination of information and encourage political engagement. On the other hand, AI algorithms can create echo chambers, influence voting behavior and generate significant risks for democracy. AI-driven security measures can help to protect OSNEM users from fraud and privacy breaches but, malicious actors can also use AI to support their attacks. The exponential diffusion of generative AI adds novel dimensions to this landscape, on the one hand supporting novel forms of interactions spanning into the Metaverse, but on the other hand exposing vulnerable users to dramatic threats. The aim of this special issue is to push the state of the art in using AI in OSNEM, by presenting quantitative contributions that investigate the opportunities and challenges of using AI in Online Social Networks. Within this framework, topics include, but are not limited to: - Using AI in OSNEM for personalization, efficiency, and recommendations; - AI-based studies for analysis and modelling of information and opinion dynamics in OSNEM; - AI-based predictions based on OSNEM data analysis; - AI impact on OSNEM security, trustworthiness and privacy; - Generative AI in OSNEM; - AI and social networking in the Metaverse; - AI methodologies for large-scale OSNEM data collection and analysis - AI methods to safeguard OSNEM users (e.g., bot detection, toxic content identification, content moderation, echo chamber avoidance) - Case studies of AI application in OSNEM Online Social Networks and Media is a multidisciplinary journal for the wide community of computer and network scientists working on developing OSNEM platforms and services and using OSNEM as a big data source to mine, learn and model the (online) human behaviour. Manuscripts only based on questionnaires, even focused on the reported use of social media, are outside the scope of the journal. On the other hand, the journal welcomes papers which present analyses based on big data mined from social networks/media. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: continuous submission until July 31st, 2024 (*) First notification: two months after the submission Expected publication: papers are published a few weeks after acceptance. Guest Editors Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Italy Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions for submission Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If prior work was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should include a substantial extension of at least 35% novel contributions. In this case, authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The submission website for this journal is located at https://www2.cloud.editorialmanager.com/osnem/default2.aspx. Please select ''VSI:AI&OSNEM'' when you reach the ''Article Type'' step in the submission process. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified, for consideration by the special issue, the authors should indicate in the cover letter that the manuscript has been submitted for the special issue on “AI&OSNEM”. (*) Manuscripts can be submitted continuously until the deadline. Once a paper is submitted, the review process will start immediately.
