Multilevel, Multicultural & Multiethnic Information Society
An International Conference for Yunnan Provincial Library’s 100th Anniversary
November 16-17, 2009, Kunming, China

Yunnan, the most culturally diverse province in China, has developed its unique regional culture of multiplicity. The long history of interactions among different ethnic minorities has cumulated rich information resources. Since its establishment a hundred years ago, Yunnan Province Library has been striving in describing, preserving, and providing access to the resources. In the event of the first centennial celebration, Yunnan Provincial Library is planning an international conference with the theme of “building an information society of cultural and ethnic multiplicity”.



The goal of the conference is to bring together librarians, information engineers, educators as well as experts and professionals in other fields, from both China and aboard, to exchange ideas and share research findings about multiethnic culture, resource development, information sharing, etc. The conference provides a forum for scholars from different traditions and backgrounds to share their views and perspectives on how to preserve and promote the traditional culture of ethnic minorities in a multilevel, multicultural, and multiethnic information society. The conference will generate valuable ideas for advancing services to disadvantaged social groups and rural developments in the province.



Suggested Topics

The conference will cover a broad range of topics on multiethnic culture and information society. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Roles of public libraries in multilevel, multicultural, and multiethnic information society,
Development of multiethnic culture and resources,
Diversity of ethnic culture and resources,
Roles of ethnic minority culture in public information services,
Cultural and information resources in socio-economic developments.


Categories & Submission

Full papers will be arranged for presentation at the conference and be published in the conference proceedings. For presentations, only the abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings.

会议名称和征稿主题都能给我们一点启示，特转载在此。
The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2009)
Technically sponsored by both ACM SIGAPP and ACM SIGAPP.fr Chapter
with the cooperation of IFIP WG 2.6
http://sigappfr.acm.org/medes
October 27-30, 2009
Lyon - France

Description and Objectives
---------------------------
In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its ?digital components?, in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources.
The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (EDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations, and tutorials and workshops.
