1st International Workshop on Intelligent Context Modeling and Ubiquitous Decision Support System (ICoM-UDSS 2011)

Affiliated by the 3rd ACIIDS 2011 (http://ke.yu.ac.kr/aciids2011/)
The 3rd Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems, April 20 -22, 2011 (Daegu, South Korea)

Objectives
The International Workshop on Intelligent Context Modeling and Ubiquitous Decision Support System 2011 (ICoM-UDSS 2011) will present the latest high-quality results in the growing field of context modeling and ubiquitous decision support system. Due to the dazzling development of ubiquitous computing technologies, it is inevitable for users to rely on the ubiquitous decision support system to get more reliable and timely information such as location-based information, context aware information, recommendation, context-prediction information, et al. Users used to be depending on a wide variety of decision support systems while they are moving constantly- i.e., email systems, social networks, virtual worlds, web-based systems, and virtual community, etc. In this situation, users become very sensitive to timeliness and recency of information. Besides, they are keenly interested in the quality of information recommended by ubiquitous decision support system (UDSS) about locations they are going to visit, activities they are going to do, and products/services they are going to shop. This international workshop is dedicated to discussing all the relevant topics related to the issues mentioned above.

Topics
We construe the intelligent context modeling and ubiquitous decision support systems broadly, including applications ranging from e-commerce to social networking, platforms from web to mobile and beyond, and a wide variety of technologies ranging from data mining, business intelligence, context modeling to context prediction, multi-agent systems. Therefore, topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Context-aware systems
Context-prediction modeling
Context modeling in online game
Location-based commerce
Mobile commerce
UDSS for context prediction
Context-aware UDSS
Case studies of UDSS design and implementations
Computational ubiquitous advertising
Virtual worlds and UDSS
Conversational recommender systems
Evaluation of UDSS
Group recommenders
Impact of intelligent context modeling and UDSS in practice
Innovative applications of context-modeling and UDSS
Novel paradigms of UDSS-based recommender systems
Personalization of UDSS
Machine learning algorithms for context-modeling
Social networks approach to context prediction
UDSS interfaces
Scalability issues
Security, privacy, and robustness of UDSS
Semantic web technologies for context prediction
Theoretical aspects of UDSS
User modeling and UDSS
Multi-agent simulations
Bayesian networks applications in context-aware UDSS
Neural networks applications in context prediction
Fuzzy logic-driven inferences for UDSS
Collaborative Filtering
Theoretical aspects of UDSS
Miscellaneous

Review Process
Each paper submitted to ICoM-UDSS will be reviewed in a double-blind review process. Review criteria includes significance of the work, novelty, clarity, writing quality, and sufficiency of information to permit replication, if applicable.

Manuscript Preparation and Submission
Submitted papers should be prepared in LNCS/LNAI style and should not exceed 10 pages. Papers in different style will NOT be accepted. To submit your papers please use the official online paper submission system for ACIIDS 2011: http://aciids2011.ii.pwr.wroc.pl/conftool/ and select "Special Session ICoM-UDSS 2011"

Special Issues
Journal publication is what all the presenters at the international workshop are aimed at eventually. To motivate as many candidate authors to present at this prestigious workshop as possible, we negotiated with several journals (SSCI, SCI, SCIE) to organize a special issue. Those journals that agreed to arrange a special issue for this workshop include Online Information Review (SSCI) and Journal of Information (SCIE). A number of papers with high quality will be selected from the papers presented at this workshop, and invited to special issues of international journals. So we believe that this workshop will be one of the best outlets for their working papers.

Important Dates
Full paper submission: Nov 8, 2010
Notification of Acceptance: December 15, 2010
Camera-ready papers submission: January 15, 2011
Authors registration and payment: January 31, 2011
