Adaptive business applications support processes whose workflows, user interfaces and business rules often change. The need for these dynamic applications is greater now than ever before and business systems in every perspective, management, workflow, information, infrastructure, etc. are evolving themselves towards being autonomic, adaptive, self-managing, self-organizing, and so forth. Emerging technologies such business rules management systems, complex event processing engines, event-driven business process management tools, corporate semantic web technologies, etc. are now gaining increasing momentum as they promise enhanced adaptive and agility capabilities to businesses, in order to sense unexpected environmental changes and to respond to business opportunities or to avoid business risks that turn up in a turbulent and quickly changing business environment. ABIS 2009 aims to provide a premier forum for stimulating exchange and in-depth discussion of advances, challenges and emerging areas in adaptive business information systems. Conference Venue ------------------------ Next year in March the European SIWN 2009 roof conference (see http://siwn.org.uk/2009leipzig/), which hosts ABIS'09 (http://siwn.org.uk/2009leipzig/ABIS09.htm), will take place in Leipzig together with the SABRE 2009 conference (see http://sabreconference.wifa.uni-leipzig.de/frontend/index.php).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Papers: Virtual Communities & Virtual Worlds @ AMCIS 2009 Datum: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:07:09 +0100 Von: Jan Marco Leimeister <Leimeister(a)uni-kassel.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Paper Deadline: Friday, Feburary 20, 2009 Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen. Freundliche Gruesse aus Kassel Jan Marco Leimeister cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++cfp+++ Call for Papers - Minitrack Virtual Communities & Virtual Worlds ===================================================== 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems August 06-09 2009, San Francisco, California, USA http://www.virtual-community.org. (Supported by Fachgruppe CSCW of Gesellschaft fuer Informatik, http://www.fgcscw.gi-ev.de/) Virtual communities based on message boards, chat rooms, user groups and blogs have emerged as high activity domains on the Internet. Virtual communities are designed for a variety of purposes, ranging from Communities of Interest, Communities of Relationship (Facebook, etc.), Gaming Communities (e.g. in Wolrd of Warcraft, Second Life, etc.), and Communities of Transaction to Peer-to-Peer Communities or Mobile Communities. Web 2.0 Mechanisms are also boosting the development of Virtual Communities and the role of user-generated content within Virtual Communities. The significance of these communities is evident by the impact they have on information generation and transmission, and socialization. For example, today, blogs are quickly becoming a primary source of information in a variety of domains. The dynamic and interactive nature of these forums makes them very attractive for users and operators. An additional value offered by many of these communities is their ability to support socialization and offer an identity for the participants. While most virtual communities share these characteristics, it is also important to recognize that virtual communities are not homogeneous; they differ significantly based on the domain, purpose and benefits. Well-organized communities even expand their power across various channels and into the Offline world. Within the field of information systems researchers are interested in studying interaction patterns, social structures, transaction processes, management aspects, business models, and design aspects of information systems and services for virtual communities. Community members interact via digital media and contribute value in the form of content, reviews, and recommendations. Related issues are trust, network effects, transaction costs and the design of services as well as the generation of innovations. "Wisdom of Crowds", "Collective Intelligence" and "Crowdsourcing" are important new concepts or buzzwords describing mechanisms around user-generated content in Virtual Communities. This minitracks welcomes empirical, conceptual and theoretical work. Despite the increasing popularity of virtual communities, several questions relating to virtual communities remain largely unexplored. We call for papers on all aspects of Virtual Communities. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): Social, political and economic impact of Virtual Communities Community models, platforms, services, and interactions, multi-channel communities Management and organizational behaviour of communities Community-related business models Innovation generation and Virtual Communities (e.g. case studies on "wisdom of crowds", "collective intelligence", etc.) User-generated content and customer collaboration in Virtual Communities Peer-to-Peer or mobile services for Virtual Communities Case studies and empirical studies, best practices and lessons learned Motivation of participants in virtual communities Benefits of participation in and competition among virtual communities Information dispersion in virtual communities Typologies and taxonomies of virtual communities Evolution of and innovation in virtual communities Gaming Communities This Mini-Track builds on the success of the preceding AMCIS Mini-Track on Virtual Communities. During the last eight years we have been gathering a community of researchers who are interested in the field of Virtual communities and related issues. Please visit the Mini-Track website at http://www.virtual-community.org.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 2nd CFP: Workflow systems in e-Science (WSES09) in conjunction with CCGrid 09, Shanghai, China Datum: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:59:25 +0100 Von: Zhiming Zhao <z.zhao(a)uva.nl> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> (Apologies if you have received this CFP more than once) ---------------------------------------------------------- 4th Workshop on Workflow Systems in e-Science (WSES 09) in conjunction with 9th IEEE CCGrid WWW: http://staff.science.uva.nl/~zhiming/workshop/wses/ New submission: December 21, 08 Notification: January 21, 09 Date: May 2009 Location: 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.

The conference is co-organized by the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and the Kühne School of Logistics and Management. ********Theme and Objectives******** Todays business environment is changing significantly due to a steady progress towards more efficient organizational paradigms as well as product and process innovations. Logistics is a key enabler of supply chain collaboration. Improving performance in this field allows supply chains to increase their efficiency significantly and help to create innovations in different areas. In this context, an important task is to find structures and approaches which enable all types of performance management in logistics and supply chains for a better fulfillment of customer needs. Another challenge is to handle the growing organizational complexity and the associated supply chain risks. While controlling mechanisms for financial issues are an inherent part of todays management, the research on controlling methods for supply chains using performance indicators is still less advanced. Therefore this conference focuses on the measurement and management of supply chain performance that closes the gap between operational and strategic management. As a strategic management tool, supply chain performance management contributes to the controlling of interorganizational supply chains. Closely related to the tasks of measuring and managing the supply chain performance, a holistic approach is used to analyze the scope of the supply chain from a single actor sophisticated networks. Business relations between customers, suppliers and logistic service providers are monitored using adequate performance indicators. The goal of optimizing the supply chain performance requires a multi-dimensional strategy to enhance the efficiency of considering customer needs. Supply Chain Performance - The HICL will provide a multidisciplinary network and forum for scientists and practitioners involved in logistics and supply chain management to interact with each other and exchange ideas and information on the latest issues in this field. We welcome scientific and practical contributions from different disciplines such as Business Administration & Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, Science & Mathematics and Law. *********Topics********** Papers addressing any relevant topics within the broad area of Supply Chain Performance Management like the following are welcome: * Systems of supply chain performance measurement * Controlling methods for supply chains * Innovative IT systems as performance drivers (SOA etc.) * Benefi t allocation of IT-based performance drivers among supply chain partners * Agent-based simulation/other simulation approaches * Quantitative and qualitative performance measures * Effi ciency of profi t and risk sharing in supply chain networks * Performance of suppliers and service providers * Performance aspects of logistics node design * Interrelationships between management methods and supply chain performance * Measurement of soft factors in supply chains * Radio frequency identifi cation (RFID) as supply chain performance driver * Performance-focused analysis of interorganizational business relations * Performance effects of infrastructure management * Sustainability and supply chain performance * Innovative concepts for modelling, simulation and optimization of transportation networks * Managing logistics service quality * Development of key performance indicators (KPI) for supply chains * Risk Management and SC Performance * Financial and non-fi nancial performance measurement * Implications of bottlenecks for supply chain performance * Effects of complexity on supply chain performance *******Submission of Papers********* Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research results/best practices for consideration in HICL 2009. All papers will be double-blind refereed. Papers should have a length of 10-15 pages and should be in MS Word format. An abstract and all authors contact information must be included.

[Fwd: [isworld] CfP: 1st International Workshop on Future Trends of Model-Driven Development]
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: 1st International Workshop on Future Trends of Model-Driven Development Datum: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:38:42 -0500 Von: Slimane Hammoudi <slimane.hammoudi(a)eseo.fr> Antwort an: Slimane Hammoudi <slimane.hammoudi(a)eseo.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> =========================================================================== 1st International Workshop on Future Trends of Model-Driven Development (FTMDD'09) MAY 6 -10, 2009 in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (http:// www.iceis.org/) Milan, Italy =========================================================================== Background and Goals -------------------- The Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach to the development of IT systems fostered by the Object Management Group (OMG) that separates the specification of the system functionality from its implementation on a particular platform. A common pattern of MDA development is to define a platform-independent model (PIM) of a system, and to apply (parameterised) transformations to this PIM to obtain one or more platform-specific models (PSMs). In this context, PIMs are reusable models that consolidate the application development effort. Furthermore, MDA advocates the use of OMG core technology, especially the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and MOF-compliant languages such as UML and CWM. In Model-Driven Development the MDA principles and technologies are applied in the development of software systems.MDD is already around for some years and is about to become commodity in software development due to its benefits (reduction on development costs, improvement of software quality, reduction of maintenance costs and the support for controlled evolution of IT systems). MDD has also been applied in many application areas, such as real-time and embedded systems, and telecommunication systems, and, more recently, to the development and integration of enterprise information systems. However, the MDD research community is wishing to explore the bounds of MDD, by investigating new applications areas and combinations with other emerging technologies, like, for example, pervasive context-aware systems, Semantic web, Semantic web services, SOA and ontologies. This workshop aims at fostering the further development and application of MDD techniques. This workshop builds upon its predecessor, the International Workshop on Model-Driven Enterprise Information Systems. Keynote Speaker --------------- A keynote speaker will be invited to address the workshop on future trends on the theory, practise and applications of MDD techniques. Paper submission ---------------- The workshop welcomes three types of submissions: 1. Full papers describing novel ideas on MDD at either a practical or theoretical level. The maximum length of a full paper is 10 pages. 2. Position papers describing work in progress or an author's position regarding the current MDD practice and/or its future trends. The maximum length of a position paper is 4 pages. 3. Demonstrations of a particular prototype approach or tool applicable to MDD. The demonstration should be accompanied by a paper with a maximum length of 4 pages. The demonstration will be shown during the workshop. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex format) are available at the ICEIS web site. Papers should be submitted online through the online submission system. All papers will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, clarity and technical quality. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings book with an ISBN#, which will be printed by INSTICC Press. The proceedings will be available at the time of the workshop Publication of selected papers from the workshop in a special issue in an international journal is under investigation. Topics of interest ------------------ Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * MDD and Enterprise Information Systems * MDD and Service-Oriented Architectures * MDD and Semantic Web * MDD and Semantic Web services * MDD and Ontologies * Domain Specific Languages (DSL) based on MDA technologies * Model Transformation Languages and Tools * Mapping, Matching and Transformation Techniques * MDD and Databases * MDD and Business Process Modelling * MDD for reverse-engineering and software maintenance * MDD for pervasive and context-aware systems Important dates --------------- * Submission Deadline: February 6, 2009 * Author Notification: March 6, 2009 * Camera Ready Submission Deadline: March 17 2009 Chairs ------ Luís Ferreira Pires CTIT, Univ. of Twente, THE NETHERLANDS (l.ferreirapires(a)ewi.utwente.nl) Slimane Hammoudi ESEO, Angers FRANCE (slimane.hammoudi(a)eseo.fr) Program committee ----------------- João Paulo A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Second CFP - Knowledge repository, knowledge distribution, and knowledge networks Datum: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:29:20 -0500 Von: Sung Ho Ha <hsh(a)mail.knu.ac.kr> Antwort an: Sung Ho Ha <hsh(a)mail.knu.ac.kr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Special issue of Journal of Universal Computer Science (SCIE) on Knowledge repository, knowledge distribution, and knowledge networks evolving on the Internet Submission of full paper: 31 January, 2009 The Internet has created an interconnected world in which users can easily exchange information, process tasks collaboratively, and form communities to achieve efficiency and improve performance. The Internet contains more than 10 billion text pages indexed, forming millions and millions of networks with specific purposes. In this situation, this special issue aims to foretell how the Internet plays a role of knowledge networks in the near future. The Internet is able to connect knowledge, knowledge holders, knowledge bases, and knowledge systems of various kinds of organizations, and distribute that knowledge to other organizations, people, and locations. This new possibility of the Internet goes beyond the traditional information storage and distribution ability. Furthermore the Internet evolving to the knowledge networks (e.g., networks for teaching service, people acquaintance, hi-tech product design, or corporate knowledge), possesses powerful implications of knowledge internationalization of businesses, governments, and customers in the whole world. This special issue of JUCS seeks original articles on "The Internet as a knowledge repository, distribution channel, and knowledge network." Rather than project plans or purely reflective or vision papers, we prefer case studies of implemented systems or descriptions of innovative technologies, highlighting actual usage results. Reflecting those results to the theoretical findings and possible future research in information systems, computer systems, knowledge management, organizational design, organizational learning, social networks, sociology, management science, and other research areas, will ideally have informed both current and future business practice and theories. We welcome papers from a range of perspectives. Potential topics include: Knowledge repository and distribution in the Internet Knowledge management systems in the Internet People knowledge and social networking Personal knowledge management facilitated by the Internet Knowledge creation in the Internet Knowledge networks on the Internet Web search on the knowledge networks Knowledge management in the deep web High density knowledge transfer over wide area networks Tools for creating knowledge networks Knowledge-usage applications on the Internet Performance evaluation of knowledge networks Assessment of knowledge management applications Shortcomings of current Internet technologies for efficient knowledge management Sociological approaches for evaluation methods ========================================================================= Submission Guidelines Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Style Guide for Authors page, http://www.jucs.org/ujs/jucs/info/submissions/style_guide.html. You may send one copy in the form of an MS Word file attached to an e-mail to Dr. Sung Ho Ha.
