CAiSE'24: First Call for Journal First Submissions
*** First Call for Journal First Submissions *** 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'24) June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/ (*** Submission Deadline: 31st March, 2024 AoE ***) CAiSE 2024 is organising journal-first sessions as part of the scientific program. The aim of these sessions is to disseminate recent important research contributions and spark discussions between authors and researchers in the CAiSE community. Authors of selected journal articles on CAiSE-related topics will be invited to present their work at the conference. SCOPE For the journal-first sessions, we solicit submissions related to articles that have been accepted for publication by a reputable journal and that meet the following criteria: • The article relates to the topics of the CAiSE conference and the recent call for papers. • The article is an original submission to the journal and not an extension of an earlier conference or workshop paper. • The article is an original research article; review articles or commentaries will not be considered. • The article was accepted for publication by a journal on or after 1 January 2023, the acceptance must have been publicly announced, the article must be available at the publisher’s website (e.g., as "articles in advance" or published on a journal’s website), and the article must be written in English. • The article has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, journal-first tracks of other conferences. FORMAT Accepted submissions will be presented as part of the CAiSE 2024 scientific programme. SUBMISION Submissions must be done electronically via Easychair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=caise2024) and include: • Title and author information of the article. • The original abstract and keywords. • DOI of the original publication or, alternatively, a link to the publication at the journal’s website. EVALUATION All submissions will be reviewed by the track chairs with the aim to accept all qualifying submissions subject to ability to accommodate them in the program. If needed, priority will be given to submissions according to their topical fit with the scope of the conference, the importance of the contribution, as well as the standing of the respective journal (including, but not limited to, the journal's impact factor and ranking results). ATTENDANCE AND PRESENTATION At least one author of each submission accepted for the journal-first track must register and attend the conference to present the work. The author needs a full registration to present the journal article. As the articles of the journal-first track have been published already, they will not be part of the CAiSE 2024 proceedings. The articles will be listed in the conference program and CAiSE 2024 participants will have access to the respective abstracts and a pointer to the original journal article. IMPORTANT DATES • Submission: 31st March, 2024 (AoE) • Notification of Acceptance: 14th April, 2024 • Author Registration: 17th May, 2024 • Conference Dates: 3rd-7th June, 2024 JOURNAL FIRST CHAIRS • Paolo Giorgini, University of Trento, Italy • Jeffrey Parsons, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada
Dear AOIR Community, If any of you plan to attend the Sunbelt conference this year and have an interest in exploring the challenges and advantages of open science, especially in relation to open research data, we invite you to consider submitting your work to our session "Gaining and giving access to network data: the challenges of open network science"! https://sunbelt2024.com/ Deadline: 4 February 2024, 11:59 pm GMT With best wishes, Katja Mayer ---- Sunbelt 2024 CALL FOR PAPERS SESSION – Gaining and giving access to network data: the challenges of open network science FORMAT – In-person (Edinburgh, June 24-30) ORGANIZERS – Katja Mayer (Universität Wien), Zachary Neal (Michigan State), Juergen Pfeffer (Technical University of Munich) DESCRIPTION – This session delves into the complexities of gaining and giving access to network data, presenting numerous challenges for researchers. Especially within the realm of social media, recent years have witnessed shifts in data access methods, such as APIs, data visits, and scraping data from platforms. However, some access methods often conflict with the licensing or usage terms. Furthermore, access to data from organisational, financial, biological, or health networks grapples with user privacy, ethical issues, and evolving regulations. With the increasing attention to open science, researchers encounter pressures from funders, journals, and their academic peers to open and share their data. This movement, championing transparency and reproducibility, introduces its own challenges. Balancing data acquisition hurdles with sharing requirements adds layers of complexity to the research process. Merely visiting data—especially remotely—without understanding its completeness, sampling methods, etc., poses challenges. Archival data might lack context or harbour unseen biases, complicating its secondary use. In contrast, field-gathered data often have issues with consent, representation, and timeliness, which make them challenging not only to access but also to share. Beyond academia, these challenges have wider implications. Professionals in journalism, public policy, and more face comparable hurdles in their pursuit of network data-driven insights. This session seeks presentations that are reflecting on personal experiences with access strategies, emphasising the interplay between data access and quality. How do researchers today access elusive network data unprepared for scientific use? What data, meta-data, or descriptions are essential for secondary data usage to ensure both integrity and ethical considerations? How have researchers successfully shared their data, information, and methodologies? In this session, we aim to dissect these challenges but also the emerging innovations in network data access. We welcome presentations that share personal experiences with intricate data access and quality, illuminating the broader consequences of these changes, and collaboratively exploring avenues for rigorous, ethical, and impactful research. Based on the presentations and insights from this session, a special issue is planned to further disseminate and explore these topics. Deadline: 4 February 2024, 11:59 pm GMT via conference system FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact Katja Mayer at katja.mayer@univie.ac.at
