Fwd: Reminder: The tenth OOPSLA workshop on behavioral semantics: Back to Basics

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Reminder: The tenth OOPSLA workshop on behavioral semantics: Back to Basics Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2001 13:36:42 EDT From: Haim Kilov <HaimK(a)AOL.COM> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Back to Basics The Tenth OOPSLA workshop on behavioral semantics (Tampa, FL, October 15, 2001) The continuing theme of the Workshop Series on Behavioral Semantics is to foster precise and explicit specifications of business and system semantics. The need to understand and specify semantics in this way, independently of any (possible) realization, has been recognized for a while. Some progress has been made in these areas, both in academia and in industry. However, in too many cases only lip service to these ideas has been provided, and as a result the systems we build or buy are all too often not what they are supposed to be. We used to live with that, and quite often users relied on human intermediaries to "sort the things out." However, with the rapid development of e-commerce and agent-based systems, there is no human intermediary; if the system is not what it is supposed to be then its user will quickly go to a competitor. This series has successfully brought together practitioners and theoreticians who have been working to make this vision a reality. This year, the series will be celebrating its tenth anniversary by revisiting the classics of the past while also looking to the future of the field. We refer to this as "Back to Basics." One of the unfortunate characteristics of Computer Science and Software Engineering is a noteworthy lack of interest in work done in the past. It is taken for granted that a two-year old book could not possibly still be relevant. Yet books such as the Garmisch 1968 Conference on Software Engineering show that many of the concepts considered now to be a recent invention, have existed for a long time. This includes such concepts as pair programming, component factories, the gross inadequacies of box-and-line diagrams, the confusion generated by a set of tacit assumptions, the reuse of architectural ideas of Christopher Alexander, among many others. Systematic usage of the basic ideas from this book, as well as many other classics, would prevent the enormous waste of effort resulting from reinventing these ideas. As in all the workshops in this series, it is our goal to be a focal point of bringing together theoreticians and practitioners to report their experience with making semantics precise, clear, concise and explicit in (OO) business specifications, business designs, and system specifications. We invite papers varying from academic research (especially dealing with transferring theory into practice) to industrial "war stories." This year there is an emphasis on revisiting the classics both to "set the record straight" and to recapture insights and ideas that might otherwise slip into oblivion. Submitted papers (5-10 pages) will be reviewed by the organizers. The accepted papers, after rework by the authors, will be published, again as usual, in the Workshop Proceedings. These Proceedings will be distributed before the workshop. Please send submissions before September 1, 2001, to Haim Kilov <haimk(a)acm.org> Organizers: Haim KIlov, Kenneth Baclawski. ___________________________________________________________________ | The Communications of AIS and The Journal of AIS are electronic | publications sponsored by the Association for Information Systems | JAIS: http://jais.aisnet.org/ - CAIS: http://cais.aisnet.org/ |----------------------- ISWorld Net Footer ------------------------ | Need help with ISWorld? -> http://isds.bus.lsu.edu/cvoc/isworld/ | If you can't find an answer contact isworld_manager(a)cornell.edu |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

Please include your email address along with the submission. Dr. Prashant Palvia Joe Rosenthal Excellence Professor ISOM Department Bryan School of Business & Economics University of North Carolina - Greensboro Greensboro, NC 27402-6170, USA Email: pcpalvia(a)uncg.edu Ph: 336-334-5666 Fax: 336-334-4083 http://www.uncg.edu/bae/people/palvia/ TRACK DESCRIPTION: Strategic and competitive considerations have long been separated from the technological innovation activities of the firm due to the complexities involved in integrating technology and innovation issues into the firms overall strategic planning. The key question is what will it take to be a success in the business environment of tomorrow? Three forces account for most of the convergence of business strategy with organizational structure and information systems. They are rapid innovation of new information technologies, widespread creation of new ideas and concepts about information itself, and extensive development of new information-intensive organizational forms and business strategies. As more countries join the ranks of the industrialized nations, the sophistication of the global market and number of global competitors have eliminated any advantage to a simple presence in international markets. Companies tied to the information economy are typically global from their inception - the Internet does not permit them to compete in only national markets. At the same time we see massive consolidations of industries from automobiles to banking to pharmaceuticals to cell phones and Internet service providers around the globe. Today the international/global/multinational/transnational organization must employ strategic thinking to compete successfully. The focus of this track will be on understanding the fundamental conditions of the industry and the firm in order to generate and sustain a competitive strategy. RECOMMENDED TOPICS Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double spaced pages), extended abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about 4-6 pages), panel and workshop proposals (2-4 pages) dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics are invited. Please mention the name of this track on the cover page. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Impact of e-business on transnational/MNEs - Effects of digital networks on products and services - Best practices in strategic global IS management and global competition - Cultural difference between/within global companies - Managing intellectual capital in MNEs - Impacts of Cultural, Political, and Economic Issues - Building strategic NII infrastructures - Global IT Strategy in Multinational Enterprises - Knowledge Management / Multinational IT Resource Management - Speed of change & Sustainability - Impact of regulation/deregulation - Shareholder demands - Case studies of strategic applications in global IS - Long term strategic positioning - Frameworks/Business Models for Multinational IT OTHER TRACKS: Please note that you may also submit to other Global IT tracks. Just note the name of the appropriate track on the cover (if no such track exists or you do not know the track name, simply state so on the cover page).
