16th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning

mLearn 2017

Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus

30 October – 1 November, 2017

http://iamlearn.org/mlearn/

In Cooperation with ACM SIGAPP (proceedings in ACM ICPS)

The International Association for Mobile Learning (IAmLearn)
(www.iamlearn.org) is the custodian of the mLearn conference series.
mLearn is the leading annual international conference for researchers,
policy makers, educators, developers and solutions providers in the fields
of mobile, ubiquitous and contextual learning, as well as learning with
emerging ambient and wearable technologies. mLearn attracts a large
number of participants from more than 60 countries representing all
continents, and is, therefore, the world’s largest international conference
on mLearning and emerging ambient technologies.

Conference Themes

The overarching conference theme is ‘mLearning and Design for Social
Change and Innovation‘. Higher education institutions are called upon to
provide for the competencies and skills that foster design for social
change and innovation. In addition, knowledge and skills alliances are
encouraged by funding bodies to cultivate, share and disseminate
competencies that foster social entrepreneurship and innovation. However,
little is known on how mlearning can facilitate this process, how it can
contribute towards social change, innovation and entrepreneurship.

The topics of interest can go beyond the conference theme, and can
include any of the following:

· The development, deployment and implementation of mlearning in the
context of social entrepreneurship, innovation and social change
· mLearning as a tool that fosters social change and social entrepreneurship
· Innovations in mlearning theory and pedagogy
· From pilot projects to mainstream implementation: strategies for the
deployment of mLearning
· Mobile technology to support open and distance learning
· Mobile technology for teaching and learning support
· Assessment techniques and practices in mLearning
· Design and development of learning material for mLearning
· Learning objects and metadata for mLearning
· Informal and lifelong learning with the aid of mobile technologies
· Challenges for mLearning in developing countries
· Building and implementing mLearning strategies in educational
institutions, companies and public sector organisations
· mLearning management systems (mLMSs)
· Computer tablets
· Creating interactive and collaborative mLearning environments
· Future trends in mLearning technology, including the impact of emerging
technologies
· Emerging hardware and software for mLearning including wearable
technologies
· Location-aware technologies
· Contextual and situated learning
· Augmented reality
· Serious gaming and simulations
· Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous learning

Submission Information

The conference solicits regular papers (no more than 8 pages), short papers
(no more than 4 pages), as well as posters (no more than 2 pages). The
Program Committee may require an accepted paper to be adapted into a
short paper or poster. All papers must be prepared according to the
ACM SIG Proceedings Template format (see the conference web site for
further information). The papers must be original contributions not submitted
or accepted for publication elsewhere. A submitted contribution should
clearly indicate the conference topics it targets. For an accepted contribution
to be included in the proceedings, at least one author must register and
present the paper at the conference. For further information, see the
submission guidelines on the conference web site. The conference
proceedings will be published by ACM ICPS and archived in the ACM
Digital Library.

21st European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2017): Fifth Call for Doctoral Consortium

*** Fifth Call for Doctoral Consortium ***

21st European Conference on Advances in Databases
and Information Systems

ADBIS 2017

Hilton Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus

24 – 27 September, 2017

http://cyprusconferences.org/adbis2017/consortium.html


The internationally recognized ADBIS conference already for 21 years is
gathering researchers and practitioners around topics related to databases,
data processing, and information systems, in general. The conference is run
in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS
conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied
by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops.

DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM

The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present
their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive
feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive
inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research
objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an
established international conference.

The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the
workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by
a discussion with senior researchers.


ELIGIBILITY

We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their
thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published),
but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants
who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to
have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in
the DC.

SUBMISSIONS

To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will
appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the
thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing
the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of
graduation.

The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting
instructions can be obtained via
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-2-793332-0) and
describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed
result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art,
results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD
project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the
paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying
workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any
other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC.

Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ADBISDC2017. In case of multiple
files, please submit a single compressed file (zip or rar). After logging into
CMT, please choose the “ADBIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium” track.

REVIEW PROCESS

Each paper submitted to the DC will be reviewed by at least two members
of the DC program committee and will be judged based on originality,
technical merit, presentation quality, and relevance. The authors of
successful submissions must take into account the reviewers’ comments
during the preparation of the final version and describe the changes in a
separate document to be submitted together with the final camera-ready
version. The program committee reserves the right to reject a paper if the
final version does not meet the requirements above.

Applications not adhering to the provided guidelines (including page limits)
will not be considered. The authors of accepted papers must register to the
conference, attend the DC and present their work.

PROCEEDINGS

The DC papers will be published by Springer, together with the ADBIS
workshops proceedings, in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and
Computing series.
