    About metaBUS
    metaBUS is one of 14 projects to win the National Endowment for the Humanities' 2013 Digging into Data Challenge, an international consortium of 10 research funders seeking to explore how computationally intensive research methods can be used to ask new questions about and gain new insights into our world. metaBUS is currently funded by the National Science Foundation (U.S.), SHRM Foundation (U.S.), Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Canada), and the Canadian Centre for Advanced Leadership in Business (Canada). The team is comprised of psychology, management, and computer science scholars who are devising a web application that will (1) enable the semi-automated encoding of millions of individual findings in a multidisciplinary social science research domain, (2) facilitate complex analyses, and (3) enable access to members of the scholar community. Coupled with technological enablements and efforts to expand the scope of the project's deliverables, metaBUS will lead to an eventual goal – a search engine of research findings that that is updated continuously and provides instant empirical summaries through a variety of dynamic queries and GUIs. Information about the project may be seen at http://www.metaBUS.org.

    (Technically co-sponsored by IEEE UK & RI)


    In the last decade, a number of newer communication technologies have
    been evolved, which have a significant impact on the technology, as a
    whole. The impact ranges from incremental applications to dramatical
    breakthrough in the society. Users rely heavily on broadcast
    technology, social media, mobile devices, video games and other
    innovations to enrich the learning and adoption process.

    This conference is designed for teachers, administrators,
    practitioners, researchers and scientists in the development arenas.
    It aims to provide discussions and simulations in the communication
    technology at the broad level and broadcasting technology and related
    technologies at the micro level. Through a set of research papers,
    using innovative and interactive approach, participants can expect to
    share a set of research that will prepare them to apply new
    technologies to their work in teaching, research and educational
    development amid this rapidly evolving landscape.
