Visualizations for analyzing news? propagation in social networks

Context:
Communication specialists seek to understand the process of news?
dissemination in social
networks: How the news published on online newspapers is consumed and
shared? What are
practices? ... They therefore seek to identify topics, communities and
their influences in the
spread of the news.
In this context, our project is to provide users with interactive
visualizations to help them in
their needs. The most important goal is to identify and to design visual
structures and
interactions that allow users to explore their data to find answers to
their questions. One of the
most important questions that users ask is: How a subject treated by
journalists is relayed in
social networks?

Tasks to be performed:
1. Make a study and proposals of visualizations to interactively explore
large masses of data
from online newspapers and social networking web sites.
2. Develop a web tool implementing the proposals. The visualization tool
should allow,
among other things, select topics and/or online media and visualize
tweets that share the
papers published by the media on the given topics in a time perspective.
We also need to
visualize user profiles and other data to facilitate the understanding
of the news flow.
3. Evaluate the solutions.

Required skills:
- Design of graphical user interfaces.
- Information visualization.
- Data analysis (text data).
- Web oriented programming languages: Java, JavaScript, ...

Environment:
The work is within the scope of an ANR project in progress in the
laboratory LCOMS.
Salary: almost 44 KE/year (before taxes).
Period : February 2015 ? January 2016 (possible extension for a second
year).
Place : Metz - France

********************************************************************************
CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS
4th International Conference on Green IT Solutions (ICGREEN 2015)
July 9-10, 2015, Milan, Italy
http://www.icgreen.org/
********************************************************************************

IMPORTANT DATES
Special Session Proposal submission deadline: 15 February 2015

********************************************************************************

ICT and Green are two tightly related concepts. ICT systems in fact might support sustainability in different ways. On the one hand, the design of more efficient ICT systems can contribute in decreasing the energy consumption related to ICT that is continuously increasing. For example, in some regions of the world (e.g., US and UK) the energy consumed by the data centers is close to 10% of the total energy consumed in the area by the country. On the other hand, ICT can be used to monitor the impact of other systems (e.g., buildings, transportation) on the environmental sustainability and to support green-aware decisions. The purpose of ICGreen is to bring together researchers and practitioners that deal with the design of Green ICT systems or of ICT use for environmental sustainability.

Development ,of Secure Software (ASSD?15)
Message-ID: <54CA2674.2050502@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Call for papers: First International Workshop on Agile Development of
Secure Software (ASSD?15)
to be held in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on
Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES'15)

Universit? Paul Sabatier
Toulouse, France


Submission Deadline: April 15, 2015


Scope

Most organizations use the agile software development methods, such as
Scrum and XP for developing their software. Unfortunately, the agile
software development methods are not well suited for the development of
secure systems; they allow change of requirements, prefer frequent
deliveries, use lightweight documentation, and their practices do not
include security engineering activities. These characteristics limit
their use for developing secure software. For instance, they do not
consider conflicting security requirements that emerge in different
iterations.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together security and software
development researchers to share their finding, experiences, and
positions about developing secure software using the agile methods. The
workshop aims to encourage the use of scientific methods to investigate
the challenges related to the use of the agile approach to develop
secure software. It aims also to increase the communication between
security researchers and software development researchers to enable the
development of techniques and best practices for developing secure
software using the agile methods.

Topics of interest

The list of topics that are relevant to the ASSD workshop includes the
following, but is not limited to:
? Challenges for agile development of secure software
? Processes for agile development of secure software
? Incremental development of cyber-physical systems
? Secure software development training and education
? Tools supporting incremental secure software development
? Usability of agile secure software development
? Security awareness for software developers
? Security metrics for agile development
? Security and robustness testing in agile development

April 14-15 2015, Madrid, Spain
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR WORK IN PROGRESS AND DEMO PAPERS

SustainIT 2015 will feature a work-in-progress (WiP) and
demonstration (demo) track providing a forum for researchers and
developers from academia, industry, and government to interact and
share latest results on the areas of Sustainable Internet and ICT for
Sustainability.

WiP papers are expected to report on early and emerging results and
raise novel research questions, approaches, and directions. The
specific aim of the WiP track is to provide a forum for timely
presentation, discussion, and feedback for novel, controversial, and
provoking ideas. All selected papers will be presented as posters in a
special conference session. In addition, all selected papers will be
included in conference proceedings.

Demos offer the opportunity to present novel ideas and emerging
results through hardware and tools, innovative applications, new
research prototypes, testbeds, etc. The corresponding demo paper
should highlight the main contributions and describe the details of
the demonstrations, with a focus on the interaction with the audience.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in
standard IEEE proceedings format in PDF. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft
Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the
IEEE Computer Society website. Submitted papers must include the
contact information of all the authors.

WiP papers are extended abstracts and must be up to 3 pages in size
(including figures, tables, and references). They are expected to
present early or ongoing research activities. Novel approaches and
preliminary results are especially appreciated. Manuscripts must be
submitted electronically through EDAS, WiP track.

Demos papers are extended abstracts must be up to 2 pages in size
(including figures, tables, and references). They should explicitly
state what will be demonstrated to the audience, and how the attendees
will be able to interact, enjoy, and experiment. Manuscripts must be
submitted electronically through EDAS, Demo track.
