CFP- Social Media in Government HICSS- 2016
Governments have also discovered the potential of social media platforms
for sharing governmental information and outreach. Social media unite
several communication channels and enhance opportunities for citizens to
provide feedback to government officers and political representatives.
Guidelines for the use of online social networks and other social media are
relatively new in governmental agencies and many implementation challenges
still persist. Given that the demand for social media-based government
services is growing, issues related to privacy, information leakage,
blurred boundaries between private and public spheres, and government
surveillance must all be urgently addressed.
This minitrack is open to papers that cover all aspects of social media,
particularly in the context of citizen participation and electronic
government.
Minitrack topics include, but are not limited to:
* Case studies of the use of online social media and networks by any
level of government
* Social media and citizen participation
* Apps and Social media: implementation and challenges
* Relationship between online social media use and offline political
action
* Website information link with social media tools
* Predicting election and other political events with social media
* Implementation challenges
* Maintaining privacy in online social media and other online networks
* Social media and networks for information sharing
* Social media and governance: troubles and challenges
* Social networks and 'information overload'
* Mobile and location-sensing media and governance
* Guidelines and policies for social media use
* Legal concerns when providing and sharing content via social media
* Online identities of civil servants

> The Emergency Management Information System (EMIS) field has an
> established tradition of user-centered methodological approaches for
> design and
> evaluation research. However, visual analytics, a new field that is
> starting to
> intersect with EMIS, is barely using such approaches. Thus an opportunity
> has emerged to expand these user-centered approaches from EMIS towards
> visual analytics via the design of visual analytics tools for emergency
> management. In this article, the authors present a qualitative
> methodology for
> design research that takes on this opportunity. This specific methodology
> is
> characterized by using non-participant observation and interviews as
> methods
> and by being theoretically informed by the multidisciplinary framework of
> visual analytics. The authors also include a detailed application of the
> methodology to the design of visual analytic tools for Emergency Operation
> Centers in Vancouver, Canada as well as the corresponding results:
> contextual
> knowledge for design, informed requirements for four design projects and
> evaluation criteria for these designs.

> An Externalizable Model of Tactical Mission Control for Knowledge Transfer
> Dennis Andersson (Swedish Defence Research Agency, Link?ping, Sweden)
> Organizations that deal with humanitarian assistance, disaster response
> and military activities are often exposed to dynamic environments where
> chaos
> rules. Under these circumstances, standard operating procedures may not be
> always be applicable, forcing the controllers to resort to opportunistic,
> or even scrambled, control. The lack of tactical or strategic control
> forces the teams to rely on experience from scenario-based training and
> prior
> missions. Acquiring, and retaining, such experience is thus essential to
> prepare for future events. Based on ideas from the knowledge management
> community, this article proposes an externalizable control model,
> supporting
> methods for retaining mission experience through internalization via
> hypermedia.
> Such a knowledge base of experience can be used to simplify knowledge
> sharing, an important matter since first-hand experience from rare and
> extreme
> events is, naturally, rare. The knowledge base synthesizes actual decision
> making processes, complete with context, history, cues, and interactions
> and is captured through a combination of heterogeneous multimedia
> recordings,
> sensor readings, and documents relating to the mission. The approach can
> complement regular training and apprenticeships, to help establish and
> maintain a pool of knowledge and increase tactical commanders'
> recognition-primed decision-making capability.

> Emergency evacuation of crowds is a fascinating phenomenon that has

> crowd behavior opens up for improving evacuation policies and smarter
> design of buildings, increasing safety. Recently, a new class of

> control. The question then becomes: to what degree can previous crowd

> incorporate this development, and what areas need further research? In
> this
> paper, the authors provide a survey that describes some widely used crowd
> models and discuss the advantages and shortages from the angle of
> human-centered sensing. Their review reveals important research

> SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE: April 26th, 2015
> =====================================================
>
> We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper
> to the
> 2nd Workshop on ?New Methods and Tools for Big Data (MT4BD-2015)? - held
> as a
> part of the 11th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
> Applications
> and Innovations (AIAI 2015) http://aiai2015.sigappfr.org.
>
> The provision of a large amount of data from various sources (Internet,
> Social Media,
> Application Logs, Data Warehouses, Sensors, Mobiles, Open Data, etc.) is
> now emerging
> into the collection and processing of ?Big Data?. While Big Data notion
> is adopted from both
> academic and enterprise communities, there is currently a wide gap
> between its potential
> and its realization. Variety, velocity, scale, complexity,
> interpretation and security
> problems with Big Data raise challenges at all phases of the pipeline
> that can extract
> information and knowledge from it. Thus, there is a natural interest in
> using these data
> asset to improve a variety of applications. It is very interesting to
> explore how the
> researchers utilize data-driven strategies and discover what disciplines
> will charge because
> of the advent of data. With the vast amount of data now available modern
> business are facing
> with the challenges of storage, management, analysis, privacy,
> visualization, security and
> data integration.
>
> The aim of this workshop is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for
> bringing together
> specialists from the scientific areas of Computer Engineering, Finance
> and Operational Research.
> The focus of this workshop is on current technological advances and
> challenges about the development
> of big data-driven algorithms and methods and tools. Furthermore, it
> would be very interesting
> to investigate if the use of a vast amount of data leads to more
> accurate models or not.
>
> Following the success of the 1st MT4BD workshop held last year in
> Rhodes, Greece, MT4BD 2015
> aims to further promote the formation of a community around the topic
> and gather
> an increased number of researchers and practitioners.
