Call for Proposals for Transformative Knowledge Networks

Transformative Knowledge Networksのお知らせです。

Call for Proposals for Transformative Knowledge Networks


A new long-term vision to address today’s great challenges of global environmental ch
ange and sustainability via enduring social transformations and social change is launc
hed today with an initial 2.7 M  three-year commitment from the International Social 
Science Council.

The ISSC and its partners are inviting applications for proposals for Transformative
Knowledge Networks for the recently launched Transformations to Sustainability
Programme <http://www.worldsocialscience.org/activities/transformations> . Three
Transformative Knowledge Networks will each be supported with up to ?900,000 over
three years.

The Transformations to Sustainability Programme seeks to address global
sustainability challenges by supporting research on the complex processes of social
transformation needed to secure effective, equitable and durable solutions. It will
enable social scientists to develop knowledge networks that will both strengthen
social science leadership in global change and sustainability research and foster
on-the-ground progress towards greater sustainability.

The Knowledge Networks will be led or co-led by social scientists in low- and
middle-income countries, and will involve the relevant academic disciplines and
societal stakeholders in truly co-designed and co-implemented solutions-oriented
research. 

Objectives

The Transformations to Sustainability Programme ultimately will inform and enable
social change toward more sustainable and equitable societies worldwide, by
broadening and deepening our understanding of how change happens. The objectives are
to:

-         craft more effective, durable and equitable solutions to the problems of
global change and sustainability;

-         increase the use of such knowledge by policy makers, practitioners, the
private sector, citizens and activists;

-         create a Global Knowledge Trust on social transformations;

-         engage and communicate effectively with the public.

This initiative is intended as a major contribution to the work of Future Earth
<http://www.futureearth.org/> . 

Key dates & application process
Publication of call for proposals: 18 December 2014
Online submission form on NRF website opens: 2 February 2015
Deadline for submissions: 23.59 South African time, 31 March 2015
Funding decisions: July 2015

-         Call for Proposals (including Annex 1-2)

-         Annex 3 (Application template)

-         Annex 4 (Budget template)

About the funding

Core funding for the Transformations to Sustainability Programme is provided by the
Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

The application and review process as well as the grant management for
Transformative Knowledge Networks will be handled by the National Research
Foundation of South Africa (NRF).

The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) is providing support for eligible
Japan-based partners in successful Transformative Knowledge Networks. 

About the ISSC
The ISSC is an independent non-government organisation established by UNESCO in
1952. It is the primary body representing the social, economic and behavioural
sciences at an international level. Our mission is to increase the production and
use of social science knowledge for the well-being of societies throughout the
world.

Tenth International Conference on "Geographical Analysis,  Urban Modeling, Spatial Statistics" 
GEOG-AND-MOD 15

 http://oldwww.unibas.it/utenti/murgante/Geog_An_Mod_15/index.html


in conjunction with

The 2015 International Conference on Computational
Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2015)

June 22th - June 25th, 2015

University of Calgary, Banff, Canada
http://www.iccsa.org/

Description
During the past decades the main problem in geographical analysis was the lack of
spatial data availability. Nowadays the wide diffusion of electronic devices
containing geo-referenced information generates a great production of spatial data.
Volunteered geographic information activities (e.g. OpenStreetMap, Wikimapia),
public initiatives (e.g. Open data, Spatial Data Infrastructures, Geo-portals) and
private projects (e.g. Google Earth, Bing Maps, etc.) produced an overabundance of
spatial data, which, in many cases, does not help the efficiency of decision
processes. 
The increase of geographical data availability has not been fully coupled by an
increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. 
The inclusion of spatial simulation techniques in recent GIS software favoured the
diffusion of these methods, but in several cases led to the mechanism based on which
buttons have to pressed without having geography or processes in mind.
Spatial modelling, analytical techniques and geographical analyses are therefore
required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process at all
levels, with a clear identification of the geographical information needed and
reference scale to adopt.
Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and instruments,
while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. 
This Conference aims at providing innovative and original contribution to the
ongoing debate on the above mentioned issues and at improving the process of
knowledge acquisition, by means of the development of new techniques and methods.

The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions on the
following (but not limited to) Conference Themes:
Geostatistics and spatial simulation;
Agent-based spatial modelling;
Cellular automata spatial modelling;
Spatial statistical models;
Space-temporal modelling;
Environmental Modelling;
Geovisual analytics, geovisualisation, visual exploratory data analysis;

Spatial Rough Set;
Spatial extension of Fuzzy Set theory;
Ontologies for Spatial Analysis;

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their
individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of
the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that
suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this
decision will take place on March 2015.
Individuals and groups should submit complete papers (10 to 16 pages).
Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) volumes
