Call for Papers

Track “Analytics and Visualization”
at
IEEE-DEST 2009 – Third IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies
 
Istanbul, Turkey, 1-3 June 2009

Overview:
Digital Ecosystems (DES) have emerged as a new conceptualization of inter- and intra-organizational distributed collaborative systems in which actors interact in multiple and complex forms for mutual and self-benefit. An understanding of the emerging patterns of interaction and organizational structures facilitates both ongoing use as well as future evolution of DES. To this end, techniques of data analysis, data mining and information visualization are being employed. When applied to data collected from DES, analytical and visualization techniques have the potential to aid researchers and developers in improving DES design and implementation. When analytical and visualization tools are directly embedded in a DES they can benefit its users through enhanced awareness information.

This track focuses on the use of all applicable analysis, mining and visualization techniques to digital ecosystems. Authors intending to submit papers to this track are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with the relevant DES concepts, and to ensure that the connection to DES is made clear in their paper. The following paper is suggested as initial reading: Boley, H. and Chang, E., Digital Ecosystems: Principles and Semantics, Inaugural IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (Cairns, Australia, February 21-23, 2007), 398-403 (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/login.jsp?url=/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=4233739&isnumber=4233617).
