CICM 2013 - Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics
July 8-12, 2012 at the University of Bath, UK
http://www.cicm-conference.org/2013
Call for Workshop Proposals
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As computers and communications technology advance, greater
opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While
computer algebra, automated deduction, mathematical publishing and
novel user interfaces individually have long and successful histories,
we are now seeing increasing opportunities for synergy among these
areas.
Workshop proposals for CICM 2013 are solicited. Both well-established
workshops and newer or brand new ones are encouraged.
Please provide the following information:
+ Workshop title.
+ Names and affiliations of organizers.
+ Brief description of workshop goals and/or topics.
+ Proposed workshop duration (half a day up to two days is possible).
+ If the workshop has met previously, please include the conference
affiliation for the previous meeting. If the workshop is new,
please indicate so.
CICM conference fees will be levied on a per-day basis, so that
workshop-only participation is possible. The CICM organizers plan to
make available a small amount towards partial reimbursement for travel
expenses of invited speakers. Also, CICM will take care of copying and
distributing informal printed proceedings for workshops that would
like this service, as well as permanently archived open access online
proceedings with CEUR-WS.org.
All proposals should be sent via email to
cicm-organizers(a)jacobs-university.de
for consideration by the CICM 2013 organizers:
James Davenport (University of Bath, UK): Conference Chair

Hello
Just wondering, as I have not been following meta.
Reading: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dcljr/Article_counts
I understand Special:Statistics counts "Content pages" as: "a non-redirect in a content namespace, containing (after parsing) at least one true [[wikilink]] to another page on the same wiki".
Is this up to date?
Best, Hrafn
Thanks again to those on this list who helped shape this CFP!

WikiSym is in its 9th year and will be complemented by OpenSym, a new conference on open collaboration research and an adjunct to the successful WikiSym conference series.
WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 will be held jointly in Hong Kong, China on August 5-7, 2013.
The joint conference will contain peer-reviewed research tracks on
• Wikis, social media, and open collaboration research (WikiSym 2013)
• Wikipedia research (WikiSym 2013)
• Open source research (OpenSym 2013)
• Open access, open data, and open government research (OpenSym 2013)
You are looking at the call for papers for the Wikipedia research track. For the other call for papers, please see http://www.wikisym.org/email
In addition, the conference will provide open space (“unconference meetings”), experience reports, tutorials, workshops, panels, demos as well as a Doctoral Symposium. For community track information as well as the Doctoral Symposium please see http://www.wikisym.org/email
The open space track is a key ingredient of the event that distinguishes WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 from other conferences. It is an integral part of the program that makes it easy to talk to other researchers and stretch your imagination and conversations beyond the limits of your own subdiscipline, exposing you to the full breadth of open collaboration research. The open space track is entirely participant-organized, is open for everyone, and requires no submission or review. For more information please see http://www.wikisym.org/openspace/
Finally, the conference will feature exciting invited speakers and a social program in Hong Kong, one of the most interesting cities on this planet. For more please see http://www.wikisym.org/email
Submissions Sought
Topics of interest to the Wikipedia research track include, but are not limited to:
• What do particular articles or groups or articles tell us about the norms, governance and architecture of Wikipedia and its impact on media, politics and the social sphere? How is information on Wikipedia being shaped by the materiality of Wikipedia infrastructure?
• What is the impact of all/some of Wikipedia’s 211 language editions having on achieving the project’s goal to represent the “sum of all human knowledge”? Do smaller language editions follow the same development path as larger language editions? Can different representations in different languages tell us anything about cultural, national or regional differences?
• What are the gendered dimensions of Wikipedia editing? How are issues around power, knowledge and representation drawn into focus by gender, geography and other gaps and imbalances in Wikipedia editing?
• What skills/competencies/connections/world views are required to become an empowered member of the Wikimedia community? What does a Wikipedia literate person look like? How are those skills/competencies/connections/world views obtained and enacted?
• Does Wikipedia enact an open source of authoritative knowledge that impacts learning in formal and informal settings? For instance, how do students employ Wikipedia as a covert/overt source in their papers or as a generative site for problem formulation? Or how is Wikipedia being used as a serendipitous experience of knowledge acquisition? What methods can be employed to understand these varied utilizations?
• What is the effect of outreach initiatives involving the growing institutionalisation of Wikipedia activities? As galleries, libraries, archives and museums hire Wikipedians-in-residence to digitize, showcase and/or represent their collections, is Wikipedia able to fill some its key knowledge gaps? Or are there unintended effects of this institutionalization of knowledge?
• What are the methodological challenges to studying Wikipedia? How are researchers engaging with innovative methodologies to solve some of these problems? How are other researchers using traditional or well-established methods to study Wikipedia?
• How are wiki projects other than Wikipedia evolving? What are the benefits to studying other wiki projects and can comparisons and generalisations be made from our observations of these systems?
• How does information contained in Wikipedia shape our understanding of broader social, economic, and political practices and processes? What theoretical frameworks in social, economic, legal and other relevant theoretical traditions can be applied to enrich the academic discourse on Wikipedia?
The following types of submissions are invited:
• Long research papers (5 to 10 pages)
• Short research papers (1 to 4 pages)
• Research posters (1 to 2 pages)
• Research presentations (1 to 10 pages)
Submissions for experience reports (long and short), tutorials, workshops, panels, non-research posters, and demos are also sought but are handled through the community track, please see http://www.wikisym.org/email
Submissions to WikiSym + OpenSym’s Doctoral Symposium are also sought but are handled through a separate website, please see http://www.wikisym.org/email
Research papers present integrative reviews or original reports of substantive new theoretical or empirical work about Wikipedia. Research papers will be reviewed by the Wikipedia research track program committee to meet rigorous academic standards of publication. Papers will be reviewed for relevance, conceptual quality, innovation and clarity of presentation. They should be written in English. At least one author of accepted papers is required to attend the conference in order to present the paper.
Research presentations present integrative reviews or original reports of substantive new theoretical or empirical work about Wikipedia. This is a new format is specifically aimed at the requirements of social science researchers enabling those researchers to use WikiSym as a pre-publication venue before journal publication. Only the abstracts of these papers will be published as part of the proceedings thus leaving open the opportunity for journal publication at a later date. Research papers will be reviewed by the Wikipedia research track program committee to meet rigorous academic standards. Papers will be reviewed for relevance, conceptual quality, innovation and clarity of presentation. They should be written in English. At least one author is required to attend the conference in order to present the paper.
Research poster presentations enable researchers to present late-breaking research results, significant research work in progress, or research work that is best communicated in conversation. WikiSym + OpenSym’s lively poster sessions let conference attendees exchange ideas one-on-one with authors, and let authors discuss their work in detail with those attendees most deeply interested in the topic. Successful applicants will display their posters, up to 1x2m in size, at a special session during the event.
WikiSym + OpenSym seeks to accommodate the needs of the different research disciplines it draws on.

*The Journal of Peer Production CFP: Value and Currency in Peer Production
Edited by: Nathaniel Tkacz, Nicolás Mendoza and Francesca Musiani.
The marriage of cryptography and the dynamics of open-source have now
produced a working distributed currency system. Bitcoin, as the most
notable example, can be understood as a new technics of exchange inspired
by the animal spirits of crypto-libertarianism. Whether or not there is a
place for currency -- and therefore exchange and (economic) value -- in the
utopian visions of commons-oriented thought is contested. Meanwhile, hybrid
forms like Bitcoin are developing unhindered by their constitutional
paradoxes. Capitalism, after all, equally thrives atop what David Graeber
has called a 'baseline' or 'everyday' communism. Current developments of
digital currencies are pervaded by a number of issues: Who or what issues
the money? What is the source of the collective agreement to concede value?
What forms of control are coded into currency systems and who is guiding
processes of (re)design? Who plays the role of guarantor when a currency is
decentralized? And what role does trust play in all these issues? Has
crypto-mathematics transformed trust into a technical quality of a system?
The flipside of this issue is value: The intensification and extension of
computational procedures, which is manifested most clearly in the rise of
big data, has lead to a proliferation of bottom-up procedures to formalise
'values', rendering them easily calculable and lending order to the
decentralised world of peers. Wikipedia contributors, for example, have
long awarded each other 'barnstars' for valued service in a range of areas,
and the site has long explored ways of rating article quality. In place of
managerial commands and bureaucratic hierarchies we have Karma points,
ranking systems, reputation metrics and the long-tail logic of networks.
Order in this sense is iterative, recursive and topological.
This issue of The Journal of Peer Production invites contributions on the
themes of value and currency as they relate to peer production.
Topics might include but are not limited to:
- Decentralised and crypto-currencies;
- Non-coercive taxation systems and/or experiments/experiences;
- Analog/pre-digital (or historical) networks for distributed value
exchange;
- Currency and design;
- Currencies and the commons;
- Life after fiat (the becoming-uncertain of taxes);
- What does/should peer production value?;
- Re-thinking the constitution of value;
- Theories of non-monetary value and worth;
- The relationship between valuing practices and project hierarchies;
- Forms of belief in peer production;
- Automated systems of ranking and distributing value;
- Theories of exchange, gift and voluntarism;
- Trust and anonymity in the building of value;
- Intermediation and 'guarantees' in P2P exchanges.
Submission proposals of under 500 words due by January 28, 2013. Full
submission details and extended CFP available at

Table of Contents of a special issue on "AI, Wikipedia & Semi-Structured
Resources" -- may be of interest. This is of the "using Wikipedia" type --
but perhaps also worth mentioning in the research newsletter if there's
space.
The intro "Collaboratively built semi-structured content and Artificial
Intelligence: The story so far" should be a good overview.
Free access is possible (see
http://www.ida.liu.se/ext/aijd/top/free-access/page.html ) for those who
don't have subscriptions.

Dear colleagues,
we are delighted to announce the publication of the Artificial
Intelligence Journal Special Issue on "Artificial Intelligence,
Wikipedia and Semi-Structured Resources". This Special Issue aims at
providing a comprehensive picture of the state of the art of research
that exploits semi-structured resources (Wikipedia, most notably) for
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The
issue is the result of a highly selective publication process which
involved more than 70 submissions and 100 reviewers: as a result, it
presents a series of top-research contributions, which together provide
a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the many different lines of
research that have been, and are being, pursued in this highly active
area of investigation.

Mark Graham and I are co-chairs of the Wikipedia Track at next year's WikiSym conference (now with added OpenSym!) and we're preparing the call for papers to go out Friday week. There has been such great discussion on this list in the past about what is currently missing from Wikipedia research that I thought I'd send our draft to you in case there are items that you think we might add? Our current suggestions below:
• What do particular articles or groups or articles tell us about the norms, governance and architecture of Wikipedia and its impact on media, politics and the social sphere? How is information on Wikipedia being shaped by the materiality of Wikipedia infrastructure?
• What is the impact of all/some of Wikipedia’s 211 language editions having on achieving the project’s goal to represent the “sum of all human knowledge”? Do smaller language editions follow the same development path as larger language editions? Can different representations in different languages tell us anything about cultural, national or regional differences?
• What are the methodological challenges to studying Wikipedia? How are researchers engaging with innovative methodologies to solve some of these problems? How are other researchers using traditional or well-established methods to study Wikipedia?
• How are wiki projects other than Wikipedia evolving? What are the benefits to studying other wiki projects and can comparisons and generalisations be made from our observations of these systems?
• How does information contained in Wikipedia shape our understanding of broader social, economic, and political practices and processes? What theoretical frameworks in social, economic, legal and other relevant theoretical traditions can be applied to enrich the academic discourse on Wikipedia?
Also really looking forward to some great papers next year. We think that it's a really good thing that Wikipedia research has a separate track next year and we're hoping that it's going to really strengthen the quality of research. Looking forward to any suggestions you might have.
Best,
Heather.

Subject: [Air-L] AMCIS 2013 CFP: Global and Cross Cultural Aspects of
Crowdsourced Content Production and Knowledge Repositories
To: air-l(a)aoir.org
19th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2013)
Hyperconnected World: Anything Anywhere Anytime
Chicago, Illinois, USA (http://amcis2013.aisnet.org <
http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/>**)
15--17 August 2013
Call for Papers for the mini track on "Global and Cross Cultural Aspects of
Crowdsourced Content Production and Knowledge Repositories"
Track: Global, International, and Cross Cultural Issues in IS (SIGCCRIS)
Description
With the advent of Web 2.0, many crowdsourced content production and
repository sites, such as Wikipedia, YouTube, and Yahoo! Answers, are
flourishing. Wikipedia, for example, became one of the top ten most popular
websites. Many scholars have focused attention on information quality and
processes of mass knowledge production, as well as the social aspects of
these projects. However, significantly less attention has been given to
their global nature. Wikipedia, for example, includes articles in 285
languages, Yahoo! Answers International is available in more than 25
languages, and YouTube in more than 60 languages. This global nature of
such knowledge creation and content repository projects offers a rich
socio-technical environment to examine international and cross cultural
issues online. Previous studies are predisposed to primarily investigate
the English version of these repositories, yet there is a need for more
cross cultural research. The purpose of this minitrack is to showcase
research on knowledge production projects that goes beyond their English
versions. The minitrack welcomes both empirical and conceptual work and
solicits innovative analysis of international and cross cultural aspects of
these projects. We invite papers, research in progress, and panels.
Suggested Topics:
Appropriate topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to) the
following list:
·Global, cross cultural and international issues of crowdsourced content
production and repository sites, such as:**
oWikipedia **
oYouTube **
oYahoo!Answers**
oTripAdvisor
oAmazon Recommendations, and others.**
·With special interest in:**
oInternational collaboration and conflict
oCross cultural interactions
oCase studies in any non-English language
oComparative and cross cultural studies in more than one language, focusing
on content, structures, policies, contributions, interactions, processes,
motivations, and challenges
