Call for Papers for IDEAS 2025.
Location: School of Computing at Newcastle University
When: 14ᵗʰ - 16ᵗʰ of July, 2025

Submission Deadline: 15ᵗʰ of May, 2025
Notification of Acceptance: 13ᵗʰ of June, 2025

The annual IDEAS conference is a top international forum for data engineering researchers, practitioners, developers, and application users to explore revolutionary ideas and results and exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite the participation of all interested in this event, which provides insight into original research contributions relating to all aspects of #databaseengineering defined broadly, and particularly topics of emerging interest describing work on integrating new #technologies into #products and #applications, on experiences with existing and novel techniques, and on the identification of unsolved #challenges.

For the time being, we will have the honour of presenting an invited talk by Jim Webber from Neo4j, and we will also have an #EDI session organized by Laura Heels, so do not miss this! I will update you all via my social media for new exciting updates.

More information concerning the CfP can be found on the Conference Website: https://lnkd.in/dEFJ8dGZ. We are also welcoming Sponsoring Opportunities for companies, for which do not hesitate to contact me (more information on: https://lnkd.in/dPbu7H27)

Selected papers will be invited to an #MDPI Information Special Issue (https://lnkd.in/dXrM-zhE).

So, what are you waiting for? Plan ahead for your next paper. I hope to see you all soon in Newcastle!!!

Last night in my stupor I revisted the idea that the owners of myspace live with themselves having lost some petabytes of consumer data from the genesis of web 2.0 and my god, that's praxis.

Double the fun - that's why we have the second #Hawaii Paper Alert!

In "𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗔 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗼-𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻," we explored the complexity behind the spread of false information, particularly in the context of social media and information systems.

You can find the full paper here:

"An archaeology of #knowledgegraphs and their mutation from the liberatory aspirations of the #semanticweb gives us an underexplored lens to understand contemporary #informationsystems. I explore how the ideology of cloud systems steers 2 NIH & NSF projects intended to build info #infrastructures for the #publicgood to inevitable corporate capture, facilitating the development of a new kind of multilayered public/private #surveillance system."

Thought I'd post an (academic) #introduction. :D I am an Assistant Professor at the University of #Groningen, with current research focus on #largscale #networkanalysis (#networkscience) working within the #InformationSystems Group; I previously worked on #humancomputation (don't like the term), #socialcomputing, #distributedsystems at #tuwien. Interested in socio-tech. issues, including #ethics #privacy, tech #policy
#academicsofmastodon #complexnetworks #complexsystems
@academicchatter

I guess I should do one of these...

Hello, I am Alexander.

I am a #geek with a background in #computerscience, #informationsystems, #psychology, #sociology & #law. Specialise in impact of #technology on #fundamentalrights - specifically #privacy & #data protection.

Most famous for bankrupting a billion dollar #adtech company but also well known for my #policy & #advocacy work.

#MPAA sued me for $150M for running a #bittorrent site.

#Sweden based but #British born.

Hi everyone! I’m not good at talking about myself, but I’ve been here long enough that I should post my #introduction. So, I’m Kiran, I’m 24, and I live in #Melbourne, #Australia, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I have wanted to join the Fediverse for ages but got stuck at the ‘join a public server vs host your own’ question (I’ve known about this server for a few years, but I’ve never plunged in until now).

I’m interested in #computers and #technology, but I’ve never dedicated myself enough to spin up a server or anything. I did software dev in high school, but I struggled in that environment, so instead I’m pursuing #accounting, and I’m currently studying it at uni, along with #InformationSystems. In the meantime, I dabble in teaching myself #coding every now and again.

I’m #ActuallyAutistic and have #ADHD (fun combo), so I have a decent set of strong passions loosely held, but when asked about them I forget half and am reluctant to share the others, because if you don’t actively engage those passions, do they really exist? I may or may not also have self-esteem issues. Regardless, I’m hoping to find a community to share my interests with, but I might still be a bit nervous joining in here or there, so if you catch me lurking, it’s not malicious.

I’d finish by posting my #Melway collection (I have a copy of every issue ever released!) but alas, I don’t have a photo handy. I’ll get one and stick it up soon.
