Informacijska Družba - Is 2013 Information Society - Is 2013

This document is the preface to the proceedings of the 16th International Multiconference on Information Society held in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The conference focused on collaboration, software, and services in the information society. The preface discusses how technical services must be designed to handle large data sets while supporting interoperability and evolution. However, services also need to address user needs and factors like privacy to be accepted. Introducing concepts like personas, semantic annotations, and ontologies may help provide useful and well-accepted advanced services. Formal modeling of learning content and processes can improve personalized learning. New interfaces using gesture and speech recognition may improve communication with computers and other actors. Developing a Slovenian speech synthesizer

PREFACE

This year, the conference Collaboration, Software and Services in Information Society is being
organized for the thirteenth time as a part of the Information Society multi-conference. As in previous
years, the papers from this year's proceedings address actual challenges and best practices related to
successful collaboration as well as to service and software engineering. It is important that, from a
technical point of view, ICT-based services are designed and architectured in a way that provides
adequate performances even in the case of handling large digital data sets, and that they support service
interoperability and their evolution in order to be adaptable for new contexts of use. However, even a
technically perfect service will not be accepted by consumers if developers do not take into account the
specifics and needs of real users as well as other factors that influence acceptance, including factors
related to privacy and personal data protection. Introducing the persona concept as well as semantic
annotations and ontologies into software and service engineering processes might contribute to our
common goal to provide useful and well accepted advanced information solutions and services. Formal
modeling of learning content and processes can provide better results in personalized learning.
Communication with a computer as well as with other actors can be improved by using a new generation
of HCI interfaces that are based on gesture and speech recognition. And having a successful
implementation of our own language speech synthesizer may result in easier communication and better
accessibility of ICT-based services and solutions.
We hope that these proceedings will be beneficial for your reference and that the information in this
volume will be useful for further advancements in both research and industry.
