IT Service Management (ITSM) processes, that is those processes directly associated with the delivery of high-quality, low-cost IT services, have emerged as a strategic focus for industry with projects on-going in as many as 90% of U.S. corporations. The itSMF-USA Academic Forum informs the academic community of the best practices, latest techniques, and opportunities in the practitioner community. From an academic perspective, the purpose is to provide teaching techniques, syllabi, cases, and so on to assist IT programs in developing new courses or revising existing courses to emphasize ITSM concepts and IT servitization. The audience is primarily comprised of professors from North American universities, seeking both understanding of ITSM tenets and teaching and research ideas and collateral. This call is for the submission of two-page extended abstracts describing, ITSM-related course offerings, techniques for servitizing existing IT/IS courses, case studies, IT service simulations or other ITSM-related course material or pedagogical techniques relevant to improving course offerings and content within the ITSM domain. Authors of the selected abstracts will be invited to present their work at the 2009 itSMF Academic Forum, September 19-20, 2009 in Dallas, Texas. ItSMF-USA supports this effort -- fully covering the costs of the Forum and subsidizing academic speakers and Forum participants (paying one night of hotel accommodations and one day attendance (9/21) to the itSMFusion Conference immediately following the Academic Forum). A two-phased selection process similar to that of the itSMFusion Conference will be followed. First, during a phone screening of two-page abstracts, authors will be interviewed to discuss their presentations and confirm their commitment to attend if selected as speakers. Final selection of presenters and notification will follow. Important dates associated with the selection and review processes are: Submissions due AcademicForum2009(a)gmail.com: January 16, 2009 Phone Interviews February 2 � 27, 2009 Speaker notification: March 31, 2009 Draft PPTs and changed Abstracts Due June 30, 2009 Comments back to authors July, 20, 2009 Camera Ready Copy and PPTs: July 31, 2009 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

The main purpose of eHealth is to provide better use of information in health care settings, to improve the quality of patient care and the efficiency of clinical processes. Many situations exist where the use of eCommerce principles would be appropriate to establish new eHealth solutions, and these warrant extensive research investigation. Services Computing has b een described as a cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of bridging the gap between Business Services and IT Services (IEEE Services Computing Community). This role is supported by Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modelling, transformation and integration. The goal of Services Computing is to enable IT services and computing technology to perform business services more efficiently and effectively. Opportunities abound for the unique aspects of healthcare to drive fundamental computing and IT research together with leading applied research within the healthcare domain, that could potentially be reapplied to areas outside of healthcare. This special issue invites papers with research contributions in the domain of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare. The topics include but are not limited to: * Trends and Challenges for eHealth and/ or Services Computing in Healthcare * Case Studies in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Impact and benefits of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare * Services Computing for intra and inter organization patient journeys * Drivers and Barriers for adoption of Service Oriented Architectures in Healthcare * Usage of mobile devices and patient surveillance systems for Healthcare Services * Patient journey modeling in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Quality of Service and Quality Assurance for eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Development and deployment of Service Oriented Architectures supporting Healthcare * Legal and Regulatory requirements concerning electronic delivery of Healthcare Services * New models of healthcare delivery supported by eHealth and/or Services Computing * Healthcare Services performance issues (e.g. Availability, Reliabil ity and Security) * Management and monitoring of eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Assessment, evaluation and evidence validation issues for Healthcare Information Systems * Design, usability, ethics and other human factor issues for Healthcare Information Systems * eHealth DBMS implementation issues including security, portability and mobility Submission: Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas.

The conference provides a platform for researchers and practitioners interested in theory and practice of technologies for in E-Commerce and Enterprise Computing. The program of CEC’09 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions. We invite submissions of high quality papers describing fully developed results or on-going work on the following topics relevant for electronic commerce and enterprise computing: • *Commerce and Business System Architectures.* Design principles, methods, and technologies for developing enterprise architectures that support and reflect a company’s business needs. Their focus may be on both, intra-organizational architectures (e.g., Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Application Integration, etc.) as well as on inter-organizational integration (B2x, P2P integration and architectures). • *Electronic Commerce Technologies. *Technologies reflecting the technical, organizational, and legal requirements of the different participants in electronic business transactions. These technologies support the phases of an electronic business transaction: planning, identification, negotiation, actualization, and post-actualization. • *Business Process Management.* Enterprise Computing relies on effective business process management to meet a company’s business goals. CEC’09 focuses on new approaches to intra- as well as to inter-organizational business processes for any stage of the business process life cycle: design, modeling, execution, monitoring, and optimization. • *Business Intelligence.* Business intelligence (BI) refers to technologies, applications, and practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information. The overall goal is to assess the present state of a business and to prescribe a course of action. • *Business Services.* Research in business services has become an emergent field addressing the alignment of business and IT, enabling optimized business operations. Business services and services computing investigate business modeling and consulting, service identification, service design, service modeling, service granularity, service development, and service. • Semantic Web and Ontological Engineering. Enabling business applications to make use of semantic annotations for search and decision-making. • *Mobile Business Applications.* The rise of mobile devices and ubiquitous connectivity raises the issue of integrating mobile and wireless technologies into electronic commerce and business system architectures. • Security and Trust. The reliable protection of data from manipulation and theft through methods of security is one of the prerequisites for a modern Electronic Commerce and enabling technologies of particular importance. • *Human Computer Interaction.* HCI concentrates on interactions between users and computers by making computers more usable and receptive to the user’s needs, which has outstanding importance in enterprise systems due to its implications on cost of ownership, dealing with complex systems and very large scale. • *Social Networks.* A social network is a virtualized structure of social relationships. With the rise of the Internet and Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise, we solicit work on social network design enhancing creativity, information sharing, and collaboration amongst users in business environments. • *eGovernment.* CEC’09 addresses the for-profit as well as the public sector ------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS -------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call For Papers CAiSE'09 Datum: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 07:20:29 -0400 Von: Jaap Gordijn <gordijn(a)cs.vu.nl> Antwort an: Jaap Gordijn <gordijn(a)cs.vu.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call For Papers CAiSE'09 The 21st International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'09) 8-12 June 2009, Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://caise09.thenetworkinstitute.eu/ Information Systems for Business Innovation: The Next Wave This year's special theme is "Information Systems for Business Innovation". Due to the widespread use of the web, businesses innovate their propositions to customers and come up with new ICT- enabled services. Such innovation requires understanding of the business and of technology in an integrated way. Multi-disciplinary research areas such as Service Science, Networked Enterprises, and Social Networking are paying attention to ICT and business innovation. The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE '09 will shed light on this theme from various perspectives. Goal: CAiSE'09 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering. CAiSE'09 invites submissions on the development, maintenance, and usage of information systems - and especially submissions dealing with information systems for business innovation. The topics of interests include, but are not restricted to: Methodologies and approaches for IS engineering - Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling - Requirements engineering - Business process modelling and management - Simulation - Agile methods - Model, component, and software reuse - IS reengineering - Adaptive IS engineering approaches - Service science - Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS engineering - IS in networked & virtual organizations Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering - Service-oriented architecture - Model-driven architecture - Component based development - Agent architecture - Distributed, mobile-, and open architecture - Innovative database technology - Semantic web - IS and ubiquitous technologies Engineering of specific kinds of IS: - eGovernment - Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, CRM) - Data warehousing - Workflow systems - Knowledge management systems - Content management systems Quality concerns in IS engineering - Knowledge, information, and data quality - Quality of models and their languages - Usability, security, trust, flexibility, interoperability Important Dates: Nov 30, 2008: Paper submission deadline Feb 8, 2009: Notification of acceptance Jun 8-12, 2009: Conference & workshops Types of contributions: we invite four types of original and scientific papers: 1. Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential - or, even better, the evaluated - benefits of the contribution. 2. Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. 3. Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in- depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. 4. Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to addressing the identified situation. Submission Conditions: Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. Publication: Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'09 and published in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] 2nd Call for papers - 5th German Workshop on Experience Management, 25.-27.3.09, Solothurn/Switzerland Datum: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:46:24 +0100 (CET) Von: Barth, Thomas <barth(a)fb5.uni-siegen.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS "5th German Workshop on Experience Management" http://www.uni-siegen.de/fb5/wijpvp/gwem09/index.html within the 5th Conference "Professional Knowledge Management - Experiences and Visions" March 25 - 27, 2009 in Solothurn/Switzerland http://www.km-conference2009.org/ >>> Submission deadline for workshop contributions: October 31, 2008 <<< Motivation ========== Efficient utilization of experience is gaining in importance since expertise, "know how", applied knowledge can be assessed as one of the most important resources and the key issue for successfully competing organizations in almost every sector of economy. In the context of this workshop as well as the workshops previously held in this series, 'experience' is mainly considered as a form of knowledge obtained during the solution of problems. Therefore, similar but not identical issues from approaches developed in Knowledge Management, all aspects of the whole lifecycle of 'experience' are in the focus of this workshop: Analyzing, modeling, storing, retrieving, developing, and reusing experience are major challenges to Experience Management (EM) and hence can be in the center of contributions to this workshop. Based on these lifecycle-oriented issues, aspects of applying EM in "real world" scenarios (e.g. in manufacturing industry, commerce etc.) coming from a variety of scientific communities are as well of great interest. Hence, besides the traditionally strong focus of this workshop series on the design, development and integration of intelligent systems and methods for managing experience, subjects relevant in Experience Management may be contributed by different communities from computer science (e.g. aspects of collaborative/"Web 2.0" techniques in the development/use/distribution of experiences), mathematics (e.g. analysis and design of algorithms from machine learning, CBR, network analysis), social science (e.g. modeling and analysis of usage and development of experience in networks, acceptance of experience-based derived solutions), and business administration/economics (e.g. assessing the economic value of EM in enterprises). The overall objective of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary forum where practitioners and researchers can exchange ideas, concepts and solutions concerning the design and implementation of Experience Management systems, present practical experiences from applications in any domain, and discuss future research directions. Topics of Interest ================== Submissions from all areas contributing to the development and application of intelligent EM systems are welcome. We explicitly encourage paper submissions which are not mainstream but from communities within mathematics, social sciences or economics in order to obtain a more interdisciplinary view on the subject. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * modeling, representation, discovery, and use of experience * retrieval techniques * aspects of experiences lifecycles * methods and approaches for integrating EM into organizations and their (business) processes * software engineering issues of EM systems * case studies for EM from any application domain (e.g. manufacturing industry, commerce, science) * aspects of EM in organizations Intended Audience ================= The target group includes researchers and practitioners who are interested in developing, applying and analyzing EM systems and the scenarios they can be used in. Submission guideline ==================== Accepted contributions will be published in the conference (printed, long version of up to ten pages) or workshop (online, short version of up to five pages) proceedings. All submitted papers should not exceed ten pages and have to be formatted according to the following instructions: http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/ All contributions must be submitted via EasyChair http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wm2009workshops as PDF file OR via email to barth(a)fb5.uni-siegen.de. Timetable ========= >>> Submission deadline for workshop contributions: October 31, 2008 <<< Notification of acceptance or rejection of the papers: December 15, 2008 Camera-ready copy of the papers due: January 16, 2009 --> GWEM at WM2009 in Solothurn, Switzerland: March 25-27, 2009 --- Prof. Dr.-Ing.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Special Issue of IEEE TKDE on "Mining Large Uncertain and Probabilistic Databases" Datum: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:16:39 +0800 Von: Michael Chau <mchau(a)business.hku.hk> Antwort an: Michael Chau <mchau(a)business.hku.hk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering on "Mining Large Uncertain and Probabilistic Databases" Guest Editors: Reynold Cheng, Michael Chau, Minos Garofalakis, and Jeffrey Xu Yu Homepage: http://i.cs.hku.hk/~ckcheng/tkde-si/cfp.html pdf: http://www.computer.org/portal/cms_docs_transactions/transactions/tkde/CFP/… Introduction ------------ Recent years have witnessed the emergence of novel database applications in various non-traditional domains, including location-based services, sensor networks, RFID systems, and biological and biometric databases. Traditionally, data mining has been widely used to reveal interesting patterns in the vast amounts of data generated by such applications. However, for most of these emerging domains, data is often riddled with uncertainty, arising, for instance, from inherent measurement inaccuracies, sampling and curation errors, and network latencies, or even from intentional "blurring" of the data (to preserve anonymity). Such forms of data uncertainty have to be handled carefully, or else the results of long and tedious data analyses could be inaccurate or even incorrect. The goal of this special issue is to collect and distill the knowledge from experts in developing mining and data processing methods that are "uncertainty-aware." We welcome papers that develop appropriate uncertainty models for data-mining tools and/or investigate efficient complex data-analysis techniques for large probabilistic and uncertain databases. We also seek paper submissions that extend classical mining and data-analysis algorithms for uncertain and probabilistic data to provide statistical guarantees over the results. In general, topics of interest for this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following areas: - Models and structures for uncertain/probabilistic information in data mining and complex data analysis; - Clustering spatially- and temporally-uncertain data; - Association rule mining and classification of uncertain data; - Machine learning aspects in uncertain data processing; - Incorporating data uncertainty models into traditional data-analysis algorithms; - Mining moving-object trajectories and biological data with noise; - Optimization of data-analysis queries and mining applications over uncertain/probabilistic databases; - Identification and similarity matching of objects with uncertainty; and - Efficient mining and analysis of uncertain/probabilistic data streams. Submission ---------- Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published in recent issues of the journal or at http://www.computer.org/tkde/. Note that mandatory over-length page charges and color charges will apply. Manuscripts should be submitted through the online IEEE manuscript submission system at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tkde-cs/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for paper: the 4th Int'l workshop on workflow systems in e-Science (in CCGrid) Datum: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:36:41 +0100 Von: Zhao, Z. <Z.Zhao(a)uva.nl> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ---------------------------------------------------- The 4th International Workshop on Workflow Systems in e-Science (WSES 09) http://staff.science.uva.nl/~zhiming/workshop/wses/ in conjunction with 9th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (http://grid.sjtu.edu.cn/ccgrid2009/) May 2009, Shanghai, China ----------------------------------------------------- Aims and scope The development in Internet and Grid technologies has greatly enhanced the activities in scientific research; more and more new scientific advances are achieved by experiments which consist of complex sets of computations and large volumes of data. Workflow systems emerge as a key tool to integrate different computing and data analysis components, and to control the logic between computing tasks in experiments. During the past years, workflow systems attracted enormous research interests. Focusing on different aspects of workflow systems and applications, several workshops on scientific workflows have been organized, such as WORKS and SWF. And workflow systems have also been a main objective of a number of research projects: the Dutch Virtual Laboratory for e-Science (VL-e), and the EU funded Knowledge Workflow Grid (K-WfGrid) and the ViroLab project. Driven by specific applications, a large collection of workflow systems have been prototyped such as VLAM, Taverna and Pegasus. However, due to the diversity of the application domains and more importantly the increasing ambitions of scientists to extend the experiment scenarios, there is still a big gap between the functionality implemented in existing workflow systems and their usability in different application domains. The development of effective workflow systems still faces challenging issues like workflow sharing and discovery, provenance, human in the loop workflow execution, and workflow interoperability. The workshop on Workflow Systems in e-Science (WSES) focuses on practical aspects of scientific workflow management systems: design, implementation, applications in all fields of computational science, interoperability among workflows and the e-Science infrastructure, e.g., knowledge framework, for workflow management. The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and developers in the field of e-Science to exchange the latest experience and research ideas on scientific workflow management and e-Science. WSES09 is the fourth edition in the series of the workshop. The WSES08, WSES 07 and WSES 06 were successfully held in the context of CCGrid 2008, ICCS 2007 and 2006. A special session for WSES 07 will appear in the International Journal of Future Generations of Computer Systems (FGCS), and selected papers of WSES 06 have appeared in a special issue of Scientific Programming Journal. Topics Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate current research in all areas of scientific workflow management in e-Science. The workshop solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics: * Workflow modeling techniques * Workflow language * Workflow engines * Workflow interoperability * Semantic techniques in workflow * Dynamic workflow control * Workflow provenance * Web 2 in scientific workflow * Workflow verification and validation * AI techniques in workflow management, e.g., planning, runtime control and user support; * Security control in managing workflow * Real-world applications of scientific workflow Paper submission and publication The papers are limited to 6 pages each and they must follow the IEEE 8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html. The papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. For accepted papers, advance registration is required in order to include the final camera ready version in the CCGrid 09 proceedings which will be published by IEEE Computer Society. And at least one author should be registered in advance and will present the paper in the workshop. The paper has to be submitted via online submission system.
