1) CHAMADA DE PROPOSTAS PARA EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL SOBRE A INTERNET NO
BRASIL
O Journal of Community Informatics (http://ci-journal.net) tem como foco o uso das
Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) no desenvolvimento de iniciativas
comunitárias e próprias da vida em comunidade, visando especialmente comunidades
carentes e grupos ou setores que permanecem no lado excluído da divisão digital.
Desde sua criação em 2004, o Journal of Community Informatics construiu uma
excelente reputação na comunidade acadêmica internacional, bem como entre
profissionais envolvidos na formulação de políticas ou em iniciativas voltadas para o
uso das TICs em prol da capacitação e potencialização de cidadãos e comunidades.
Edições especiais da revista têm sido dedicadas ao aprofundamento de sub-temáticas,
como foi o caso da edição sobre America Latina (v.3, n.3, 2007). Agora temos o prazer
de anunciar a chamada de trabalho para o próximo volume que será dedicado às
questões prementes e particularidades do acesso e uso das TICs no Brasil, para o
qual esperamos contar com participação expressiva de autores de projetos
desenvolvidos no Brasil ou projetos de outras origens que incluam o caso brasileiro em
suas análises (veja o item submissão de propostas). Como os demais números do
Journal of Community Informatics, a edição incluirá artigos científicos, relatos de
experiência e resenhas de livros.
O Brasil é um país de grandes contrastes e o uso da internet no país reflete essa
realidade. Por um lado, o número absoluto de internautas, de hosts e o tempo de
permanência online marcam uma forte presença do Brasil na rede. O país se destaca
também por bem sucedidas iniciativas públicas e privadas visando promoção do uso
das TICs no país. Em termos percentuais, no entanto, o acesso às TICs se revela
restrito a uma minoria da população, que utiliza a rede de forma bastante específica,
tendo este uso efeito restrito em aspectos como a redução das desigualdades,
melhoria dos processos democráticos e da inserção do Brasil no cenário internacional.
Entre as várias áreas que poderiam se beneficiar de um modo mais efetivo das TICs
pode-se mencionar educação, saúde, cultura e ciência. A simultaneidade de exemplos
de sucesso, grandes contrastes e necessidades prementes relacionadas ao uso de
TICs no Brasil agregam especial valor a esta edição dedicada ao país..
O Journal of Community Informatics é publicado em inglês.. No entanto, para encorajar
e facilitar a participação de autores do Brasil, um processo específico de submissão
inicial de propostas em português, espanhol ou inglês é adotado para esta edição (ver
submissão de propostas, adiante).
Alguns tópicos propostos para a Edição Especial do Journal of Community Informatics
são:
- uso de sistemas de rede social (por exemplo, Orkut, Facebook, Twitter);
- usos e apropriações da internet e das TICs por grupos específicos, especialmente
grupos em desvantagem social;
- produção de conteúdo na internet (blogs, sites, etc.), voltada para desenvolvimento
social e comunitário;
- análises de iniciativas de uso da internet e TICs para o desenvolvimento social e
comunitário;
- questões relativas aos aspectos sociais, políticos e culturais da divisão digital no
Brasil;
- políticas governamentais e iniciativas privadas voltadas para a inclusão digital na
educação e para a preservação e produção cultural;
- relações entre ações públicas e privadas relacionadas à inclusão digital.
Essa lista de temas não pretende ser exaustiva. Em caso de dúvidas sobre a
pertinência de uma abordagem ou sub-temática específica, as editoras estão à
disposição pelo endereço JoCI.Brazil@gmail.com <mailto:JoCI.Brazil@gmail.com>
Os artigos científicos serão selecionados em processo anônimo, por pelo menos dois
pareceristas. O processo de submissão para esta Edição permite o envio inicial de
propostas em português, espanhol ou inglês, conforme as etapas descritas a seguir.

5) A DECADE OF MINING THE WEB
A Special Issue in the Journal of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
(DMKD 2010)
The Web has changed our way of living, doing business, exchanging
information, establishing and maintaining social contacts. Scientists are
investigating the phenomenon of the Web from different perspectives.
Scholars in knowledge discovery and data mining have turned their
attention towards the Web, almost as soon as people started using the Web
for a variety of private and business activities. The analysis of human
behavior in the Web and the support of knowledge extraction and
information acquisition have been the topic of conferences and workshops
for over a decade. Among them the WEBKDD workshop, organized since 1999
under the auspices of the ACM SIGKDD international conference on knowledge
discovery and data mining, has served in establishing a community of Web
miners, identifying the challenges of the practitioners and promoting
innovative research solutions. About 10 years after this first workshop on
mining the Web, we take a fresh look on research achievements and !
challenges ahead: we invite contributions that combine a retrospection of
the achievements in the last decade with an in-depth discussion of
current trends and new open problems for the next decade. We solicit both
surveys with a strong visionary portion, and visionary works that build
upon a solid methodological groundwork. Topics include but are not
limited to:
* web analytics
* web search
* recommender systems
* personalization user modeling
* online communities social web mining
* Semantic Web
* computational social science
* mining from virtual worlds and games
Submission procedure:
The submission takes place in two phases. In the first phase, an extended
abstract PROPOSAL of up to 6 pages should be submitted for evaluation. It
should contain adequate information for the reviewers to assess the
importance of the topic addressed, the width and depth of the research
associated with it and the solidity of the vision promoted. Authors of
accepted proposals will be invited to submit full papers.
Manuscripts should be submitted to:
http://DAMI.edmgr.com. This online system offers easy and straightforward
log-in and submission procedures, and supports a wide range of submission
file formats. The article type 'SI: 10 Years of Mining the Web' should be
chosen when submitting to this special issue.

6) CHAMADA DE ARTIGOS PARA LIINC EM REVISTA
Vol. 6, no.2
DOSSIÊ:
LINGUAGEM, INFORMAÇÃO E NOVAS DINÂMICAS SOCIAIS
CONTEMPORÂNEAS.
A “virada lingüística” é geradora de novas abordagens desde início do
século XX, sendo atualmente apropriada por novas áreas de discussão
crítica dos usos sociais da linguagem: a Ciência da Informação, o
Direito, a Administração, a Economia, entre outras. O movimento inicial
muda a visão das relações entre linguagem, significação e
verdade-validade. Hoje a indagação se amplia para o novo lócus da
linguagem, da comunicação e da informação nos domínios do trabalho, da
produção e da política e, em geral, nos arranjos e qualidades das
relações intersubjetivas. Na sociedade digital esse potencial da
linguagem enfrenta novos desafios: a busca de equações entre as
pragmáticas das linguagens cotidianas e especializadas e as linguagens
computacionais (lógicas e matemáticas) que demandam para si a
universalidade formal do dado numeralizado. Cabe questionar conflitos e
mecanismos de controle que definem regimes de informação, formas de
organização e processos de produção e inovação que, no médium da
linguagem, cercam ou potencializam as formas de vida.
A Liinc em Revista está recebendo artigos a serem submetidos à
avaliação
para publicação no volume 6, número 2, setembro de 2010. A partir
dessas e outras questões, esse número conterá dossiê temático em torno
do debate sobre “Linguagem, informação e novas dinâmicas sociais
contemporâneas”, organizados por Maria Nélida González de Gómez e
Clóvis Montenegro de Lima (IBICT). Serão também considerados e avaliados
para publicação, conforme as normas da revista, artigos sobre outros temas
dentro de seu campo de reflexão. Os artigos devem ser enviados até o
dia 25 de maio de 2010 pelo endereço http://www.ibict.br/liinc .

Internet Research 11.0 - Sustainability, Participation, Action
The 11th Annual International and Interdisciplinary Conference of the
Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR)
October 21-23, 2010 University of Gothenburg/Chalmers University of
Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
The challenge of this conference is to find multiple avenues for participation and
action towards a sustainable future. In a society increasingly aware of social
and ecological imbalance, many people now see information and
communication technologies as key technologies for solving problems
associated with an unsustainable future. However, while information technology
may solve some problems, it can magnify others. As pointed out by world
forums such as the United Nations and the European Commission, use of ICTs
contributes to the unsustainable consumption of energy and resources.
Similarly, unequal access and exploitative practices remind us that IT is not a
utopian answer to complex social problems. A sustainable future is not only
about greening processes and products at any cost, but also entails social
responsibility, cultural protection and economic growth. Therefore the
conference has a multi-dimensional focus, where the Internet is seen as a
possible liberating, empowering and greening tool.
The conference will focus on how the Internet can function as a conduit for the
development of greater global equality and understanding, a training ground for
participation in debates and cross-cultural projects and a tool for mutual action;
in short a technology of empowerment. The flip-side of the internet as a tool for
empowerment is the issue of exploitation. Exploitation of resources and people
is what has led to the current crisis, and issues of exploitation are highly
relevant online, from abuse of the commons to censorship, fraud and loss of
privacy and the protection of the rights of the individual.
Sustainability, Participation, Action invites scholars to consider issues
concerning empowerment and/or exploitation in relation to the Internet. We ask
scholars to specifically consider issues concerning integrity, knowledge
production, and ethics in relation to the Internet and sustainable development.
How do we, as Internet researchers, regard our work in relation to the
unsustainable current situation and the possibilities of a sustainable future?
How far can we take the Internet, and with it, people, individuals, groups and
societies in order to create an arena for participation and action, all key
elements in imagining a sustainable future? How can we apply previous
knowledge to serve future solutions?
To this end, we call for papers, panel proposals, and presentations from any
discipline, methodology, and community, and from conjunctions of multiple
disciplines, methodologies and academic communities that address the
conference themes, including papers that intersect and/or interconnect the
following:
Internet and an equal and balanced society
Internet as an arena for participation
Internet as a tool and arena for action
Internet and an informed knowledge society
Internet and a green society
Internet and e‐commerce, dematerialization and transportation
Internet and security, integrity and surveillance
Internet and a healthy society
Internet as an arena for cultural expressions, and source of a culture of its own.
Sessions at the conference will be established that specifically address the
conference themes, and we welcome innovative, exciting, and unexpected
takes on those themes. We also welcome submissions on topics that address
social, cultural, political, legal, aesthetic, economic, and/or philosophical
aspects of the Internet beyond the conference themes. In all cases, we
welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions as well as international
collaborations from both AoIR and non‐AoIR members.
SUBMISSIONS
We seek proposals for several different kinds of contributions. We welcome
proposals for traditional academic conference PAPERS and we also welcome
proposals for ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS that will focus on discussion and
interaction among conference delegates, as well as organized PANEL
PROPOSALS that present a coherent group of papers on a single theme.
DEADLINES
Call for Papers Released: 24 November 2009
Submissions Due: 21 February 2010 (Details here)
Notification: 21 April 2010
Full papers due: 21 August 2010
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
All papers and presentations in this session will be evaluated in a standard blind
peer review.
Format
PAPERS (individual or multi-author) - submit abstract of 600-800 words
FULL PAPERS (OPTIONAL): For submitters requiring peer review of full
papers, manuscripts of up to 8,000 words will be accepted for review. These will
be reviewed and judged separately from abstract submissions
PANEL PROPOSALS - submit a 600-800 word description of the panel theme,
plus 250-500 word abstract for each paper or presentation
ROUNDTABLE PROPOSALS - submit a statement indicating the nature of the
roundtable discussion and interaction
Papers, presentations and panels will be selected from the submitted proposals
on the basis of multiple blind peer review, coordinated and overseen by the
Program Chair. Each individual is invited to submit a proposal for 1 paper or 1
presentation. A person may also propose a panel session, which may include a
second paper that they are presenting. An individual may also submit a
roundtable proposal. You may be listed as co-author on additional papers as
long as you are not presenting them.
PUBLICATION OF PAPERS
Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of the
journal Information, Communication & Society, edited by Caroline
Haythornthwaite and Lori Kendall. Authors selected for consideration for
submission to this issue will be contacted prior to the conference.
All papers submitted to the conference system will be available to AoIR
members after the conference.
PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
On October 20, 2010, there will be a limited number of pre-conference
workshops which will provide participants with in-depth, hands-on and/or
creative opportunities. We invite proposals for these pre-conference workshops.
Local presenters are encouraged to propose workshops that will invite visiting
researchers into their labs or studios or locales. Proposals should be no more
than 1000 words, and should clearly outline the purpose, methodology,
structure, costs, equipment and minimal attendance required, as well as
explaining relevance to the conference as a whole. Proposals will be accepted if
they demonstrate that the workshop will add significantly to the overall program
in terms of thematic depth, hands on experience, or local opportunities for
scholarly or artistic connections. These proposals and all inquiries regarding
pre-conference proposals should be submitted as soon as possible to both the
Conference Chair and Program Chair and no later than March 31, 2010.
FEE WAIVER
In order to increase the diversity of participation in the AoIR annual Internet
Research (IR) conferences, the Association of Internet Researchers will make
available up to three conference fee waivers per year. The number of fee
waivers will depend first of all upon the ability of the conference budget to
sustain such waivers (a judgment to be made by the AoIR Executive Committee
upon the advice of the AoIR Treasurer and the local organizing committee) as
well as upon the quality of the applications for fee waivers.
Applications for fee waivers are invited from student or faculty authors whose
paper or panel proposals have already been accepted via the AoIR IR
conference reviewing process. All applications should be directed to the VicePresident of AoIR, and must be received by June 30 of the conference year.
Late applications cannot be considered. More information and submission
guidelines will be published in a separate announcement.
