The International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) is the first conference devoted to the rapidly growing process mining discipline. All thought leaders working on process mining will be present at ICPM 2019. The program includes a fully packed industry day next to exciting scientific talks by the leading scientists in the field. The conference is supported by the main vendors providing process-mining software. However, the conference is neutral and provides insights that are tool independent. This makes ICPM 2019 "the place to be" for anyone working on process mining. Moreover, it provides a great stepping-stone of those that are new to the topic. Next to a range of excellent speakers, there will be the possibility to see the state-of-the-art in action (e.g., dozens of tool demonstrations) and discuss real-life process mining experiences.

CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL SESSION ON
?Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0?
IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics (SMC?19)
http://www.smc2019.org/
October 6-9, 2019 ? Bari, Italy
Cyber-Physical Systems are enhancing several industry sectors through a higher coordination between computational and physical elements. Nevertheless, challenges remain at multiple levels:
- coping with platform hardware/software heterogeneity and computational resource restrictions;
- device communication and interoperability, requiring protocols and systems with high autonomy and flexibility in information storage, management and discovery;
- real-time event detection and characterization: dynamic context-aware data analysis should leverage resources from available nearby devices in an opportunistic way and produce human- and machine-understandable event annotations;
- high-level frameworks and applications for resource-constrained and/or real-time platforms, integrating personal devices (smartphones, tablets, wearables) into industrial control networks to put humans in the loop.
Semantic technologies provide a possible solution paradigm, fostering open knowledge-based architectures exploiting automated reasoning for information management and decision making.
The goal of the ?Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0? special session is to collect the most recent and advanced research on topics such as the Semantic Web of Things, opportunistic computing and semantic-enabled systems where devices, agents and people interact, specifically in Industry 4.0 settings. Innovative applications and case studies are also welcome, including semantic-based approaches for smart manufacturing, supply chain management, collaboration and co-design to name a few.
TOPICS
- Semantic-based Web of Things architectures for industrial settings
- Semantic-enabled protocols and services for Industry 4.0 applications
- Semantic-based decision support systems for Industry 4.0
- Integration of AI technologies in the Industry 4.0
- Knowledge representation and reasoning in cyber-physical systems
- Intelligent adaptive object interaction for Industrial Internet of Things
- Knowledge discovery in decentralized and collaborative Industry 4.0 platforms

CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL SESSION ON
?Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0?
IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics (SMC?19) http://www.smc2019.org/ October 6-9, 2019 ? Bari, Italy
Cyber-Physical Systems are enhancing several industry sectors through a higher coordination between computational and physical elements. Nevertheless, challenges remain at multiple levels:
- coping with platform hardware/software heterogeneity and computational resource restrictions;
- device communication and interoperability, requiring protocols and systems with high autonomy and flexibility in information storage, management and discovery;
- real-time event detection and characterization: dynamic context-aware data analysis should leverage resources from available nearby devices in an opportunistic way and produce human- and machine-understandable event annotations;
- high-level frameworks and applications for resource-constrained and/or real-time platforms, integrating personal devices (smartphones, tablets, wearables) into industrial control networks to put humans in the loop.
Semantic technologies provide a possible solution paradigm, fostering open knowledge-based architectures exploiting automated reasoning for information management and decision making.
The goal of the ?Semantic Cyber-Physical Systems for Industry 4.0? special session is to collect the most recent and advanced research on topics such as the Semantic Web of Things, opportunistic computing and semantic-enabled systems where devices, agents and people interact, specifically in Industry 4.0 settings. Innovative applications and case studies are also welcome, including semantic-based approaches for smart manufacturing, supply chain management, collaboration and co-design to name a few.
TOPICS
- Semantic-based Web of Things architectures for industrial settings
- Semantic-enabled protocols and services for Industry 4.0 applications
- Semantic-based decision support systems for Industry 4.0
- Integration of AI technologies in the Industry 4.0
- Knowledge representation and reasoning in cyber-physical systems
- Intelligent adaptive object interaction for Industrial Internet of Things
- Knowledge discovery in decentralized and collaborative Industry 4.0 platforms
- Machine Learning in resource-constrained systems
- Semantic-enhanced predictive maintenance techniques
- Big Data architectures and solutions for manufacturing scenarios

Subject: [AISWorld] The Second Financial Narrative Processing Workshop (FNP
2019)
Message-ID:
Dear all,
The Second Financial Narrative Processing Workshop (FNP 2019)
To be held at The 22nd Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics
(NoDaLiDa?19) in Turku, Finland.
Workshop URL: http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/fnp2019/
Shared Task URL: http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/shared-task/
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Following the success of the First FNP 2018 at LREC?18, Japan, we have
had a great deal of positive feedback and interest in continuing the
development of the financial narrative processing field. This prompted
us to hold a training workshop in textual analysis methods for
financial narratives that was oversubscribed showing that there is an
increasing interest in the subject. As a result, we are now motivated
to organise the Second Financial Narrative Processing Workshop, FNP
2019.
The workshop will continue focusing on the use of Natural Language
Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Corpus Linguistics (CL)
methods related to all aspects of financial text mining and financial
narrative processing (FNP). There is a growing interest in the
application of automatic and computer-aided approaches for extracting,
summarising, and analysing both qualitative and quantitative financial
data. In recent years, previous manual small-scale research in the
Accounting and Finance literature has been scaled up with the aid of
NLP and ML methods, for example to examine approaches to retrieving
structured content from financial reports, and to study the causes and
consequences of corporate disclosure and financial reporting outcomes.
One focal point of the proposed workshop is to develop a better
understanding of the determinants of financial disclosure quality and
the factors that influence the quality of information disclosed to
investors beyond the quantitative data reported in the financial
statements. The workshop will also encourage efforts to build
resources and tools to help advance the work on financial narrative
processing (including content retrieval and classification) due to the
dearth of publicly available datasets and the high cost and limited
access of content providers. The workshop aims to advance research on
the lexical properties and narrative aspects of corporate disclosures,
including glossy (PDF) annual reports, US 10-K and 10-Q financial
documents, corporate press releases (including earning announcements),
conference calls, media articles, social media, etc.
For FNP 2019 we are collaborating with Fortia Financial Solutions, a
French based company specialised in Financial Investment and Risk
management on organising a shared task on automatic detection of
financial documents structure as part of FNP 2019.
http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/shared-task/
Systems participating in the shared task can be submitted as short
papers to be part of the workshop's proceedings.
MOTIVATION AND TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Financial narrative disclosures represent a large part of firms
overall financial communications with investors. Textual commentaries
help to clarify issues obscured by complex accounting methods and
footnote disclosures. In addition, narratives summarise corporate
strategy, contextualise results, explain governance arrangements,
describe corporate social responsibility policy, and provide
forward-looking information for investors. They also provide
management with an opportunity to obfuscate accounting results and
manipulate readers? perceptions of underlying economic performance.

The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global
network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self
configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the
future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in
order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as
physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars,
refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly
integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through
the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will
be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies
including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy,
food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and
so on.
IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited
capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less
reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals
mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of
storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary
aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited
capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit
from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more
distributed and dynamic manner.
The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in
scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It
provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from
academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their
research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT
and cloud computing.

Call for Papers
HICSS-53 Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Minitrack: Human-Computer Interaction in the Digital Economy
Building on the success of last year?s minitrack we invite HCI scholars to submit their related research papers.
Details:
January 7-10, 2020
Grand Wailea, Maui
Website: http://hicss.hawaii.edu
** Fast-Tracking opportunities to AIS Transactions on HCI are available for strong research papers. **
As the Internet continues to transform the way we work, learn, and play, the design of user interfaces remains of critical importance. The aim of this mini-track is to provide a forum for HCI researchers to discuss a broad range of issues related to the design of user interfaces. Appropriate papers for the HCI mini-track may draw on a wide spectrum of research methodologies including, but not limited to, behavioral methods (e.g., case study, experimentation, survey, action research), neurophysiological tools (e.g., fMRI, eye tracking, skin conductance response, and input devices such as the computer mouse, touch screen and typing dynamics), and design science approaches. Accordingly, papers may draw on various reference disciplines to inform design, such as: computer science, information systems, consumer behavior, psychology, organizational sciences, and neuroscience. Moreover, papers that help to bridge academic research and industry practice are welcome.
Given the diverse goals of this mini-track, there are many appropriate topics; possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Analysis, design, development, evaluation, and use of information systems
* Guidelines and standards for interface design
* Web-based user interface design and evaluation
* Design and evaluation issues for mobile devices and m-Commerce
* Interface design for FinTech applications
* Interface design for group and other collaborative environments
* Design issues related to the elderly, the young, and special needs populations
* Interface issues in the design and development of innovative interaction technologies
* Novel forms of authentication and authorization (e.g., using mousing or typing dynamics)
* Using information and sensors to detect user states (e.g., emotion, cognitive conflict) and create more intelligent interfaces
* The impact of interfaces on attitudes, emotion, perception, behavior, productivity, and performance
* Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units
* Behavioral, neurophysiological, and design aspects of human-computer interaction
* Neuroscientific approaches to human-computer interaction
* Factors influencing usability (i.e., friction reduction), ease-of-use and the overall user experience
* Information systems usability engineering
* Issues related to teaching HCI courses
