Hello all,
I am a 2nd PhD student working in Grouplens Research group at the
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Recently, I am working on a project
to study how identity based and bond based theories would help understand
editor's behavior in WikiProjects within the group context, but I am having
a technical problems that need help and advise.
I am trying to parse each revision content of the editors from the XML
dumps - the contents they added or deleted in each revision. I used the
compare function in difflib to obtain the added or deleted contents by
comparing two string objects, which runs extremely slow when the strings
are huge specifically in the case of the Wikipedia revision contents.
Without any parallel processing techniques, the expecting runtime to
download and parse the 201 dumps would be ~100+ days.. I was pointed to
altiscale, but not yet sure exactly how to use it for my problem.
It would be really great if anyone would give me some suggestion to help me
make more progress. Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Bowen

*Anon productivity and productive efficiency in English Wikipedia*
By Aaron Halfaker
Building from a call to action around measuring value-adding behavior
in Wikipedia from Wikimania 2014, I'll show preliminary results of
measuring editor productivity in English Wikipedia. From this analysis some
surprising results have emerged: (1) IP editors contribute about 20% of
good new content to Wikipedia articles, (2) the overall productivity of
registered editors has been holding constant since 2007 -- despite declines
in the community and labor hours invested in editing. (1) suggests that we
should consider better supporting editing without an account and (2)
suggests that Wikipedians are somehow contributing more efficiently than
they used to.
*Cooperation in a Peer Production Economy, Experimental Evidence
from Wikipedia*
By Jérôme Hergueux <http://www.lawecon.ethz.ch/people/hergueux.html>
Relying on the behavior of Wikipedia contributors in a (game-theoretic)
social experiment, I will seek to engage the community in a reflection
about ways to create a more inclusive Wikipedia. First, I will identify the
underlying demographic and social determinants of anti-social behavior
within Wikipedia -- an often cited driver of its declining retention rates.
Second, I will study the relationship between Wikipedia administrators'
trust in anonymous strangers and their policing activity patterns, asking
the question of the optimal level of trust that admins should exhibit in
order to efficiently protect Wikipedia from malicious users while avoiding
to drive well-intentioned ones away from the project.

As in the previous years, SEMANTiCS’16 proceedings are expected to be
published by ACM ICP.
The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals
who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and
encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information
managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from
organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the
largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts
and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of
semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies,
methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The
SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities
in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical
documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search,
document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary
management.
The success of last year’s conference in Vienna with more than 280
attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a
long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world.
There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case
prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss
semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal
settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information
managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist
departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic
software systems.
The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make
things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with
experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value
to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage
of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a
long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make
SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe.
SEMANTiCS 2016 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot
topics:
* Data Quality Management
* Data Science (Data Mining, Machine Learning, Network Analytics)
* Semantics on the Web, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org

=======================================================
Social Media in the Newsroom (SMnews 2016),
workshop co-located with ICWSM 2016http://www.smnews.newslab.ie/
17th May, 2016 - Cologne, Germany
=======================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
The exponential growth of social media as a central communication
practice, and its agility in capturing and announcing breaking news
events more rapidly than traditional media, has changed the
journalistic landscape: social media has been adopted as a significant
source by professional journalists, and conversely, citizens are able
to use social media as a form of direct reportage. This brings along
new opportunities for newsrooms and journalists by providing new means
for newsgathering through access to a wealth of citizen reportage and
updates about current affairs, as well as an additional showcase for
news dissemination.
This workshop aims to focus on the intersection of social media and
journalism, as a subset of Computational and Data Journalism. It will
particularly focus on the development of novel algorithms, methods,
and tools, and to further understand and to make the most of social
media content for the purposes of news and media industries and
journalism practitioners.
Topics of Interest
------------------
This workshop aims to bring together practitioners and academics in
the fields of journalism and news production, information science,
data science and computer science, facilitating a multidisciplinary
discussion on these topics in order to advance research in the broad
area of Data and Computational journalism, with specific focus on
social media data for news production and reporting.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Newsgathering from social media
* Social Event Detection
* Social media content curation
* Social media analytics for news
* Verification of source and content
* Detection of eyewitnesses and experts
* Ethical issues concerning social media newsgathering and eyewitness media
* Credibility assessment
* Provenance
* Analysis of social news and online news from traditional media
* Fact-checking
* Citizen journalism
* Data Driven journalism
* Computational Journalism
* Robot journalism
* Algorithmic accountability
* Approaches to boost reputation of journalists in social media
* Diffusion of news stories in social media
* Social media news audiences and network gatekeeping

I believe that Aaron and I discussed the theory that injecting some energy
into WikiProjects might be a productive avenue for editor retention and
productivity.
Is there a dashboard somewhere that shows community health statistics for
WikiProjects, such as:
1. Number of recent edits to articles that have been templated with that
project's template
2. Number of active editors in those articles
3. Number of active editors in those articles who are also members of the
project
4. Number of editors who have recently edited in the WikiProject's project
space and talk pages
5. Whether the project has a newsletter, and if so, readership statistics
for it.
Thanks!

5th IEEE Track on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation
(Comets 2016)
in cooperation with (approval pending)
INCOSE Italy
MIMOS (Italian Association for M&S)
CALL FOR PAPERS
#################################################################
June 13-16, 2016 - Paris (France)
http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/comets16
#################################################################
# Papers Due: February 15, 2016
# Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings
# by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be submitted for
# indexing through INSPEC, Compendex, Scopus, Thomson Reuters,
# DBLP, Google Scholar and EI Index.
#################################################################
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is increasingly becoming a central
activity in the design of new systems and in the analysis of
existing systems because it enables designers and researchers to
investigate systems behavior through virtual representations. For
this reason, M&S is gaining a primary role in many industrial and
research fields, such as space, critical infrastructures,
manufacturing, emergency management, biomedical systems and
sustainable future. However, as the complexity of the
investigated systems increases and the types of investigations
widens, the cost of M&S activities increases for the more
complex models and for the communications among a wider number and
variety of M&S stakeholders (e.g., sub-domain experts, simulator
users, simulator engineers, and final system users). To address
the increasing costs of M&S activities, collaborative
technologies must be introduced to support these activities by
fostering the sharing and reuse of models, by facilitating the
communications among M&S stakeholders, and more generally by
integrating processes, tools and platforms.
Aside from seeking applications of collaborative technologies to
M&S activities, the track seeks innovative contributions that
deal with the application of M&S practices in the field of
collaborative engineering platforms. These platforms are continuously
becoming more complex, and therefore their design requires
systematic approaches to meet the required quality of
collaboration. This is important for two reasons: to reduce
rework activities on the actual collaborative environment, and to
maximize the productivity and the quality of the process the
collaborative environment supports. M&S offers the methodologies
and tools for such investigations and therefore it can be used to
improve the quality of collaborative environments.
A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest includes:
* collaborative requirements modeling
* collaborative environments for M&S
* collaborative Systems of Systems M&S
* business process modeling for collaborative environments
* agent-based M&S
* collaborative distributed simulation
* collaborative component-based M&S
* net-centric M&S
* web-based M&S
* model sharing and reuse
* model building and evaluation
* modeling and simulation of business processes
* modeling for collaboration
* simulation-based performance analysis of collaborative engineering
platforms
* model-driven approaches for collaborative engineering
* domain specific languages for collaborative M&S
* databases and repositories for M&S
* distributed virtual environments
* virtual research environment for M&S
* collaborative DEVS M&S
* multi-method M&S
To stimulate creativity, however, the track maintains a wider
scope and invites interested researchers to present contributions
that offer original perspectives on collaboration and M&S.
