Re: [InetBib] TPDL 2011 - 2nd Call for Research Papers, Demos, Doctoral Consortium



Dear Marlies Olensky,

we are the makers of an exhibition called "Knowledge-Cities, Libraries in 
Africa". It might be of interest to present this exhibition at your Conference.

More information about the exhibition could be seen here:

2nd CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE/OBJECTIVES
-----------------------
Over the last years, Digital Libraries have taken over a central role in
our society. The process of acquiring, creating, processing, retrieving,
disseminating, and using knowledge, information, data and metadata has
undergone and still continues to undergo significant changes. This
includes an ever increasing public access to on-line resources, an
evolution in the amount and diversity of resources that are available
through this channel, a social shift in the paradigm of how to experience
information towards interactive, globally collaborative and personalized
approaches, and many more. In this spirit, TPDL 2011 aims at providing a
forum for researchers, developers, content providers and practitioners for
presenting and discussing novel results from innovative research and
systems development on Digital Libraries.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
-----------------------
Authors are invited to submit research papers describing original,
unpublished research that is not (and will not be) simultaneously under
consideration for publication elsewhere.

TPDL 2011 solicits the submission of full (12 pages max.) and short
(8 pages max.) research papers. General areas of interests include, but
are not limited to, the following topics, organized in four areas:

Foundations: Technology and Methodologies
- Digital libraries: architectures and infrastructures
- Metadata standards and protocols in digital library systems
- Interoperability in digital libraries, data and information integration
- Distributed and collaborative information spaces
- Systems, algorithms, and models for digital preservation
- Personalization in digital libraries
- Information access: retrieval and browsing
- Information organization
- Information visualization
- Multimedia information management and retrieval
- Multilinguality in digital libraries
- Knowledge organization and ontologies in digital libraries

Digital Humanities
- Digital libraries in cultural heritage
- Computational linguistics: text mining and retrieval
- Organizational aspects of digital preservation
- Information policy and legal aspects (e.g., copyright laws)
- Social networks and networked information
- Human factors in networked information
- Scholarly primitives

Research Data
- Architectures for large-scale data management (e.g., Grids, Clouds)
- Cyberinfrastructures: architectures, operation and evolution
- Collaborative information environments
- Data mining and extraction of structure from networked information
- Scientific data curation
- Metadata for scientific data, data provenance
- Services and workflows for scientific data
- Data and knowledge management in virtual organizations

Applications and User Experience
- Multi-national digital library federations (e.g., Europeana)
- Digital Libraries in eGovernment, elearning, eHealth, eScience,
ePublishing
- Semantic Web and Linked Data
- User studies for and evaluation of digital library systems and
applications
- Personal information management and personal digital libraries
- Enterprise-scale knowledge and information management
- User behaviour and modelling
- User mobility and context awareness in information access
- User interfaces for digital libraries

PAPER SUBMISSION
-----------------------
All research papers must be written in English and follow the formatting
guidelines of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Research papers must be up to 12 pages of length for long papers, up to 8
pages for short papers, and must be submitted via the conference
submission system. All papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of
the programme committee. Paper acceptance can be as long paper, short
paper or poster. The size of the poster should not exceed
ISO A0 (portrait) size – maximum height of 1189mm (46.81 inches) and
maximum width of 841mm (33.11 inches).
The proceedings will be published as a volume of Springer’s Lecture
Notes
on Computer Science (LNCS) series.
All papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference submission
system:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tpdl2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd CALL FOR DEMOS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Demos provide researchers with an opportunity to present their work in an
informal and interactive manner, and obtain direct feedback about their
work from a wide audience. Demos showcase innovative digital libraries
technology and applications, ranging from research prototypes to
operational systems, allowing you to share your work directly with your
colleagues in a high-visibility setting.

We invite the submission of demos on all topics mentioned in the Call for
Research Papers.

- Demo submissions consist of a 4-page paper, which must be formatted
according to Springer’s LNCS guidelines, and submitted via the
conference
submission system.
- Accepted demos will be allocated up to 4 pages for the written paper
in the TPDL 2011 proceedings. The proceedings will be published as a
volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series.
- Accepted demos will be presented at a plenary poster and demo session
during the TPDL 2011 conference.
- For demos, authors will be required to bring laptop computers or other
appropriate equipment, as no equipment will be provided.

All abstracts for demos need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference
submission system:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tpdl2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuing a tradition, the TPDL 2011 Doctoral Consortium (DC) serves as
a forum for PhD students to share ideas about the development and use of
Digital Libraries, compare approaches, discuss future research problems
and receive feedback from the international Digital Library community.
The Doctoral Consortium aims to:

- provide PhD students with a friendly and lively atmosphere for
presenting their research ideas, exchange experiences with peers, and
receive constructive feedback on their work from the international
research community;
- help students and doctoral candidates formulate research questions and
organise their research;
- help forge new relationships and collaborations within the International
Digital Library community, promoting collaborative research; and
- support a new generation of researchers with information and advice on
academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional career paths.

The TPDL 2011 DC invites PhD students whose doctoral research is related
to digital libraries and at a stage of progress where feedback from the
international community might be of value, to submit extended abstracts
of up to 10 pages describing their work. It is expected that students who
submit extended abstracts, will have finished the first part of their
research (one-two years of their studies) and be still in the middle of
their research work.

A panel of prominent researchers participating in the TPDL Programme
Committee will conduct the workshop. They will review all the submissions
and comment on the content of the work as well as on the presentation.
Students will have 20 minutes to present their research, focusing on the
main theme of their thesis, what they have achieved so far and how they
plan to continue their work. Another 20 minutes are reserved for
discussion and feedback from the panel of reviewers. The Doctoral
Consortium will take place on a single full day. Up to 12 students will
have the opportunity to participate.

Submissions should be related to one or more of the conference themes as
stated in the Call for Papers. Moreover, they should be presented in a
way that demonstrates the link to the chosen conferences theme(s), and
they should contain:

- a clear formulation of the research topic and research hypotheses;
- an outline of the significant problems in the field and their current
solutions;
- a description of the proposed approach and its expected contributions;
- a discussion of preliminary results; and
- an evaluation (-plan) of the research.

All papers must be written in English and follow Springer's LNCS
guidelines. Please send your submission directly by email to the doctoral
consortium chair Milena Dobreva (milena.dobreva@xxxxxxxxxxxx). Abstracts
of the papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
