13th International Symposium of Information Science (ISI) in
Potsdam
Submission deadline for papers: 11th of November 2012
In 2013 the biennial central conference of the German Higher
Education Association for Information Science (HI) is to be
held by the Information Sciences Department of University of Applied
Sciences Potsdam (FH) in collaboration with the American Society
of Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T).
Taking place under the slogan: "Information Sciences between Virtual
Infrastructure and Material Lifeworlds“, the symposium will run from
the 19th to the 22nd of March 2013 and seek to explore the bridging
between traditional computer science topics and new approaches from
interface design, activity theory and cognitive science.
Keynote presentations from the likes of Diane Sonnenwald,
President of the symposium’s US-American association partner, Alfio
M. Gliozzo from the IBM Watson Research Center and well-known
technological futurologist Alan N. Shapiro will introduce
the key topics.
The conference programme will comprise more than 10 topics blocks
for which long and short papers, panel discussion, posters and
student/doctoral thesis presentations can be submitted up until the
29th of October 2012 via the symposium website at www.isi2013.de.
The latest research findings from the various fields of the
information sciences in Germany and internationally will feature and
highlight the progression the information sciences have undergone
over the last two years, while an anonymous approval process
conducted by proven national and international specialists
guarantees a symposium of outstanding quality. English-language
papers are welcome, and the conference languages are German and
English.
The highlight of the symposium has often been the awarding of the
Gerhard Lustig Prize, named after one of the founders of information
science in Germany, for the best student thesis on information
science from 2011– 2012. The selected papers will receive their
accolades at a special evening event.
To coincide with ISI2013, various information science events will
take place at FH Potsdam immediately prior to and following the
symposium: the annual conference of the German chapter of the
International Society for Knowledge Organisation (ISKO), FH
Potsdam’s yearly I-Science Day organised in collaboration with the
German Initiative for Network Information (DINI e.V.) and
“frei<tag>”, the BarCamp from library sciences e-journal
LIBREAS.
