**************************************************

OVERVIEW

The Second International Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Processing will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, on August 22, 2010, in conjunction with the 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2010). This is the follow-up of the successful First International Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Processing held in conjunction with 19th ICPR in Tampa, Florida, 2008. The motivation of this workshop series is to timely address the challenges in applying advanced pattern recognition, signal processing, computer vision and multimedia techniques to mobile systems, given the proliferating market of mobile and portable devices that have been widely spreading in both consumer (e.g. smartphones such as iPhone, music, mobile TV, digital cameras, HDTV) and industrial markets (e.g. control, medical, defense etc.).

One aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers in pattern recognition as well as in mobile interaction, ubiquitous computing, and multimedia. The intended audiences of this workshop are researchers in traditional pattern recognition and media processing techniques wanting to extend their work in the mobile domain, and those researchers in mobile interaction, ubiquitous computing, and cross related fields wanting to explore latest achievements in the pattern recognition field to expand their work.

SCOPE

CFP: WWW2010 Workshop on Information Credibility on the Web (WICOW2010)

++apologies for cross-posting++

****1st CALL FOR PAPERS****

The 4th Workshop on Information Credibility on the Web (WICOW 2010)

in conjunction with the 19th World Wide Web Conference 2010

April 26-30 (one day) 2010, Raleigh, NC, USA
http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/wicow4/

* WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION*

As computers and computer networks become more common, a huge amount
of information such as that found in Web documents has been
accumulated and circulated. Such information gives many people a
framework for organizing their private and professional lives.
However, in general, the quality control of Web content is
insufficient due to low publishing barriers. In result there is a lot
of mistaken or unreliable information on the Web that can have
detrimental effects on users. This situation calls for technology that
would facilitate judging the trustworthiness of content and the
quality and accuracy of the information that users encounter on the
Web. Such technology should be able to handle a wide range of tasks:
extracting credible information related to a given topic, organizing
this information, detecting its provenance, clarifying background,
facts, and other related opinions and the distribution of them, and so
on. The problem of Web information reliability and Web data quality
has become also apparent in the view of the recent emergence of many
popular Web 2.0 applications.

* TOPICS *

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion on
issues related to information credibility criteria and the process of
its evaluation. We invite submissions on any aspect of information
credibility on the Web. Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Information credibility evaluation and its applications
- Web content analysis for credibility evaluation
- Author's intent detection
- Content quality and credibility in Web archiving
- Credibility of Web search results
- Search models for trustworthy content on the Web
- Conflicting opinion detection
- News credibility
- Multimedia content credibility
- Credibility evaluation of user-generated content (ex. Wikipedia, Q&A)
- Information credibility evaluation in social networks
- Analysis of information dissemination on the Web
- Spatial and temporal aspects in information credibility on the Web
- Information credibility theory and fundamentals
- Estimation of information age, provenance and validity
- Estimation of author's and publisher's reputation
- Sociological and psychological aspects of information credibility estimation
- Users study for information credibility evaluation
- Persuasive technologies
- Information credibility in online advertising
- Web spam detection
- Data consistency and provenance
- Processing uncertain data and information
- Modeling trust on the Web
- Credible interaction on the Web
- Credibility and trust in e-commerce

CFP: CHI 2010 Workshop on Free/Libre/Open Source Software and HCI

*Note new extended deadline: January 6, 2010*

========================================================================
ACM CHI 2010 Workshop on
Free/Libre/Open Source Software and HCI

April 11, 2010, Atlanta, GA, USA

Extended submission deadline: January 6, 2010
http://flosshci.org
========================================================================

In the past 10 years, Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) has become
a ubiquitous and vital force in business, education, government, and
research. This vibrant new community of software developers creates new
opportunities and challenges for HCI that are only beginning to be
explored and understood.

This workshop will:
* identify key differences between FLOSS environments and closed source
software production with respect to culture, practices, and motivations
for HCI,
* examine how these differences can (or should) impact the design of
tools and practices for usability/UX in FLOSS development, and
* explore the development of new theoretical approaches, tools, and
practices for HCI in the FLOSS community.

An important, overarching goal of the workshop is to bring the two
communities together to explore collaboration opportunities. As such,
the workshop invites practitioners and researchers in both the CHI and
FLOSS communities.

Interested individuals should submit one of the following in a two-page
conference publication format:

* A case study describing experiences in introducing and/or practicing
usability/UX in a FLOSS development context
* A summary of research conducted in the FLOSS community related to the
workshop's theme (for example, understanding motivations of designers in
FLOSS, mapping design conversations, design tools and methods used in
FLOSS, etc.)

Submissions should use the HCI Archive Format template found here:
http://www.chi2010.org/authors/format.html#archiveformat

Deadline for submissions is January 6, 2010. Submissions should be
emailed to flosshci@gmail.com.

More information about the workshop can be found at the workshop
website: http://flosshci.org. Questions about the workshop can be
directed to flosshci@gmail.com.

Workshop organizers:
Paula Bach (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA)
Michael Terry (University of Waterloo, Canada)
