SCOPE
IMCW2015: The "6th International Symposium on Information Management in a Changing World" will
take place in Guangzhou,China from November 25-27,2015 (http://imcw2015.bilgiyonetimi.net/). It is
organized by the Department of Information Management of Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey,
and the School of Information Management of Sun Yat-sen Universityin Guangzhou, China.
Data deluge is upon us. Some two exabytes of data get created daily. Google alone processes 24
petabyte of data every day. The amount of data is doubling every three years and 90% of all the data
were produced in the last two years. The proliferation of available data in different formats such as
text, sound and videochanges the way we live, work and carry out research. While Science was
based on empirical, theoretical and computational models in the past, it currently relies increasingly on
data exploration (eScience). Called the Fourth Paradigm, the data-intensive scientific discovery
makes information management all the more important in the Big Data Era in order to cary out leading
research and make the world a better place to live.
MAIN THEME
“Information Management in the Big Data Era: For a Better World” being the main theme of the
Symposium, IMCW2015 aims to bring together information professionals, data librarians, archivists
computer and information scientists, business people and engineers to discuss the implications of Big
Data on information management and to contemplate on establishing a sound data infrastructure and
finding innovative ways to mine, process, organize and provide access to large amounts of data. As
organizers, we thought this is an opportune time for IMCW2015 to review the challenges for
information organizations, libraries, archives and museums providing data and information services in
the digital age.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions can be theoretical as well as technical and practical. Informative case studies are also
welcome. The audience will be information professionals, data librarians, data curators, data
managers, researchers, information scientists and computer engineers, among others.
We accept extended abstracts (no less than 750 words) for full papers; short communications,
Research in Progress reports, visual presentations (“pechakuchas”)and posters on all aspects of
innovative and collaborative information and data managementapplications. Extended abstracts for
student papers and posters are also welcome. Extended abstracts of PhD students to present the
interim findings of their ongoing research will also be considered. Please use the template available on
the Symposium web site to prepare your contributions and send them to us using the Conference
Management Software (openconf) by May 18, 2015.
We also accept proposals to organize workshops. Proposals should include a title, a short abstract,
the name and contact information of the convener and be addressed to [email protected] by May
18, 2015.
We also encourage session proposals. The coordinator of a special session will be responsible for the
selection of papers (4-6 papers) and will chair the session. For session coordinators, registration fee
will be waived.
Accepted extended abstracts and proposals will appear in the “Book of Abstracts” to be published prior
to the Symposium.
Accepted extended abstracts may be developed as full papers. A short list of papers will be selected
so that the revised and extended versions of these papers and posters will appear in the proceedings
book to be published by Springer under its Communications in Computer and Information Science
(CCIS) series (decision pending)and the Symposium web site. Papers that appear in Springer’s CCIS
series are submitted by Springer for indexing to Thomson Reuter’s Conference Proceedings Citation
Index on a yearly basis.
