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

▶ 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 many journals (SSCI, SCI, SCIE) to
organize a special issue. 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. List of journals that are currently contacted includes New Generation
Computing (SCIE, confirmed), Journal of Universal Computer Science (SCIE),
Journal of Information (SCIE), Decision Support Systems (SCIE), and Online
Information Review (SSCI). When negotiation is completed, all the information about
special issues in the journals mentioned above will be posted at the workshop
homepage. Be sure to visit workshop homepage as often as possible. We believe
that this workshop will be one of the best outlets for their working papers.

▶Important Dates
Full paper submission: Oct 30, 2010
Notification of Acceptance: December 15, 2010
Camera-ready papers submission: January 15, 2011
Authors registration and payment: January 31, 2011
