[Fotosoc] CFP: Information Systems and Software Engineering
by ISSE 2011 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Dear Dawid Nowak: As you know, Murray Gell-Mann, who received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1969, affirms that: "it is vitally important that we supplement our specialized studies with serious attempts to take a crude look at the whole." In the context of Information Systems (IS), specialized studies, practice, and research in Software Engineering might be of vital importance in taking a look at the whole IS field, and vice versa. Accordingly, one of the main purposes of organizing The International Symposium on Information Systems and Software Engineering: ISSE 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/isse) is to provide a forum to suplement specialized studies and research in software engineering, and in specific areas of Information Systems, "with serious attempts to take a look at the whole" by means of potential interdisciplinary communication in a multi-disciplinary forum. Consequently, submissions and contributions to ISSE 2011 can be made in the context of 1) specific specialized disciplinary areas, 2) multi-disciplinary projects and methodologies, 3) inter-disciplinary thinking and acting, and 4) crude looks at the whole that includes Software Engineering, Information Systems, Soft-Systems Engineering, and Informing Science/Engineering. ISSE 2011 is being organized in the context of The 2nd International Conference on Engineering and Meta-Engineering: ICEME 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/iceme) to be held on March 27th - 30th, 2011 in Orlando, Florida, USA, and collocated with The 2nd International Multi-Conference on Complexity, Informatics and Cybernetics: IMCIC 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/imcic) The deadlines are the following (Check the web site for possible extensions or new set of deadlines): Papers/Abstracts Submission and Invited Session Proposals: Jan 14th, 2011 Authors Notifications: Feb 7th, 2011 Camera-ready, full papers: Feb 22nd, 2011 Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same two-tier reviewing process: non-blind and double-blind reviewing. Accepted papers will be included in the same (printed and CD versions of the) proceedings. A best paper will be selected for each session, and the best 20% of the papers presented at the symposium will also be published in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics Registration fees will be waived for *effective* invited session organizers. Details regarding the double-tier reviewing process, acceptance policy, selections of keynote speakers, best papers, and their publication in the Journal of Systemic, Cybernetics, and Informatics, can be found at the symposium web site, and resumed in the page titled "About the Symposium" Best regards, ISSE 2011 Organizing Committee If you wish to be removed from this mailing list, please send an email to remove(a)mail.2011iiisconferences.org with REMOVE MLCONFERENCES in the subject line.

[Fotosoc] Academic Informing Science and Engineering
by isAISE 2011 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Dear Dawid Nowak: As you know, the environment complexity of Research and Education is increasing with an accelerated rate. Consequently, an adequate re-conception of academic activities (research, education, and/or consulting) in the context of adaptive complex systems might very probably improve the effectiveness of these activities. Complexity Science, Informing Science/Engineering, Cybernetics and Cyber-technologies could effectively support the re-conception and consequent re-design of academic informing activities, methodologies, and processes Complexity Science and Informing Sciences/Engineering are emerging academic endeavors that are supporting this kind of re-conception and re-design in different academic fields (see for example T. Grandon Gill's "Informing Business: Research and Education on a Rugged Landscape"). On the other hand, Informatics and Cybernetics have a great potential in providing the conceptual and technological tools for the implementation of the newly conceived solutions and designs. Based on this emerging new reality, IMCIC 2011 Organizing Committee decided to start the organization, in its context, of a series of international symposia on Academic Informing Science and Engineering with the purpose of bringing together academics and professionals to share their research and academic-practice-based reflections with other scholars and researchers concerned with the effectiveness of any or all kinds of academic activities. The first international symposium on Academic Informing Science and Engineering: isAISE 2011 (http://www.2011iiisconferences.org/aise) will be held in the context of IMCIC 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/imcic) in Orlando, Florida, USA on March 27-30, 2011. We invite you to participate and/or submit a paper/abstract to isAISE 2011. The deadlines for the first of this series of symposia are the following (check isAISE 2011 web site for possible extensions). You can also participate organizing an invited session (registration fee will be waived for effective invited session organizers) and/or supporting the reviewing process of submitted papers/abstracts. Check the conference web site for more details regarding these issues. Abstract/paper Submissions and invited sessions proposals: Jan 6th, 2011 Acceptance notification: Feb 7th, 2011 Final Papers Upload: Feb 22nd, 2011 All accepted and presented papers will be included in both: the printed and CD versions of the proceedings. Details with regards to double-tier reviewing process, acceptance policy, selections of keynote speakers, best papers, and their publication in the Journal of Systemic, Cybernetics, and Informatics, can be found at the symposium web site, and resumed in the page titled "About the Symposium" Suggested Areas and Topics are the following Informing via research and/or informing research (meta-research) Informing via teaching (pedagogical methods and processes) and/or getting informed form students, as feedback for a more effective teaching Informing via consulting or practice and/or getting informed form practice, as feedback for a more effective consulting Relationships between research and teaching. Teaching via collaborative research. Researching via teaching or educational action research. Relationships between research and practice or consulting Relationships between teaching and practice or consulting Integrating research, teaching and consulting or practice Relationships between informing sciences and informing engineering Integrating Informing Science and Informing Engineering Action research applied to Academic Informing Qualitative and hybrid research applied to Academic Informing Informing systems engineering Educational systems engineering Research design Research programs and projects engineering Curriculum Design and Engineering Organizational engineering applied to educational organizations.

[Fotosoc] CFP - Computing, Communication and Control Technologies
by SPRING CCCT 2011 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Dear Dawid Nowak: We invite you to submit a paper/abstract to The SPRING 9th International Conference on Computing, Communications and Control Technologies: CCCT 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/ccct) to be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, on March 27th - 30th, 2011. The deadlines are the following (Check the web site for possible extensions or new set of deadlines): Papers/Abstracts Submission and Invited Session Proposals: January 7th, 2011 Authors Notifications: February 7th, 2011 Camera-ready, full papers: February 22nd, 2011 Technical keynote speakers will be selected from early submissions because this selection requires an additional evaluation according to the quality of the paper, assessed by its reviewers, the authors' CV and the paper's topic. Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings. All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal. Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions. Registration fees of an effective invited session organizer will be waived according to the policy described in the web page (click on 'Invited Session', then on 'Benefits for the Organizers of Invited Sessions'), where you can get information about the ten benefits for an invited session organizer. For Invited Sessions Proposals, please visit the conference web site, or directly to http://www.2011iiisconferences.org/ccct/organizer.asp Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics. Best regards, SPRING CCCT 2011 Organizing Committee If you wish to be removed from this mailing list, please send an email to remove(a)mail.2011iiisconferences.org with REMOVE MLCONFERENCES in the subject line.
