[Fwd: [isworld] E-government multi-channel management workshop at dg.o2008]
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] E-government multi-channel management workshop at dg.o2008 Datum: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:03:33 -0400 Von: Marijn Janssen <m.f.w.h.a.janssen(a)tudelft.nl> Antwort an: Marijn Janssen <m.f.w.h.a.janssen(a)tudelft.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> BACKGROUND Since the early nineties, governmental organizations have been using a variety of customer service channels. These channels have different characteristics and are used for communication, interaction, transaction and distribution of products and/or services. Among the traditional channels, like the front desk and the telephone, citizens and enterprises have access to digital channels like websites and e-mail. Channel usage statistics indicate that citizens still prefer the more expensive personal channels (desk and telephone) to the newer cost efficient digital channels. Many governmental organizations struggle with the integration and management of these service channels. The solutions to these multichannel problems are usually developed on a pragmatic and an ad hoc basis, without having solid scientific and methodological grounds. One of the challenges that governmental organizations face, is to fulfill the basic principle of 'free channel choice', i.e. citizens have the right to choose to use the channel of their preference. This freedom of choice implies that governmental organizations should provide all services through all channels even if this is illogical. In order to effectively and efficiently deploy customer service channels, more insight on citizen behavior as well as organizational and technological solutions is required. OBJECTIVE AND WORKSHOP SCHEDULE This workshop aims at discussing elements of multi-channel approaches, providing an overview of the state-of-the-art and discussing deficiencies and further research need. In particular, the workshop will addresses multi-channels from a customer point of view, provide an overview of multi-channel coordination and channel synchronization and multichannel strategies. Organizations can pursue a variety of multichannel strategies given their customers, scarce resources and ambitions. Channel synchronization is required as citizens expect the same information across different channels, given their freedom of channel choice. Channel synchronization is not only a technical but also an organizational problem. Multichannel customer management is necessary to entice citizens to the most effective and cost efficient channel. This requires a deep understanding of citizen's behavior with respect to channel choice, usage and preference. The workshop will have a number of presentations of 45 minutes with discussion following. Topics will include "Understanding Customers", "Multi-channel Coordination and Synchronization", "Multi-channel Strategies", and Multi-channel Management - What can we learn from the field?". ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The 9th annual dg.o international conference is a forum for presentation and discussion of interdisciplinary digital government research and practice and its applications in diverse domains. The conference is presented by the Digital Government Society of North America (DGSNA), with major support from the US National Science Foundation. dg.o2008 will be held in Montreal, Canada, May 18-21, 2008.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfPapers: 3rd CaCoA Workshop on CBR & Context-Awareness @ ECCBR'08 [Submission Deadline: 06/06/2008] Datum: Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:00:22 +0200 Von: Jan-Oliver Deutsch <deutsch(a)iis.uni-hildesheim.de> Antwort an: Jan-Oliver Deutsch <deutsch(a)iis.uni-hildesheim.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ** Apologies for multiple copies due to cross-posting ** ** Please distribute to anyone who might be interested ** ====================================================== Call for Papers ====================================================== 3rd Workshop on Context Awareness and CBR CaCoA'08 - Advanced Technologies for Ambient Intelligence In conjunction with the 9th European Conference on Case Based Reasoning September 1-4, 2008, Trier, Germany Workshop Website: http://www.iis.uni-hildesheim.de/cacoa08 Conference: http://www.wi2.uni-trier.de/eccbr08/index.php ====================================================== Ambient Intelligence (AmI) solutions require context awareness (of both the environment and user) to anticipate the humans' goals and needs to behave pro-actively. Adaptivity and feedback learning are used to advance AmI in order to make it smart and intelligent, while context-sensitive processing takes more and more a key role in many modern intelligent IT applications including context awareness. Context reasoning is also essential for AmI, and can be supported adequately by CBR techniques representing and manipulating situated information. Moreover, demand-oriented and holistic solutions require taking into account relevant human aspects (e.g. social, economic or ethical) to avoid possible refusals of such systems. This workshop will bring together industry and academic researchers and scientists to study, understand, and explore the handling of context in intelligent applications, with a particular focus on ambient intelligence and human-directed aspects. Besides contributed papers and invited talks, this workshop will offer organized and open spaces for targeted discussions. The workshop will explore (but is not limited to) the following topics along the (pair wise) intersections of context awareness, case-based reasoning, and AmI: - Context-aware Smart Home solutions - Reasoning in dynamic device environments - Usability, usefulness, and reliability of AmI applications - Multi-modal user interfaces - Minimal-invasive sensing and human-computer interaction (HCI) - Ethical, social and economic impact of AmI (acceptance, perspectives, informational self determination, loss of control, privacy) - Smart human interaction with autonomous systems - Collecting and analysing histories of behaviour - Security and trust implications for AmI solutions - Service matchmaking (practicable) - Responsive and pro-active architectures - Adapting experiences and feedback learning (life cycles) - User-centric explanations (to advance smart behavior) - Communication strategies for AmI applications - Collaborative filtering techniques for context awareness - CBR methods for modeling of and reasoning about context - Philosophical, social, and psychological accounts of ambient intelligence and CBR - Advanced user modeling techniques - Traditional relevant areas of KM (KR, planning, decision-making, uncertainty) --------------------- Submissions --------------------- We invite paper submissions including descriptions of works in progress, research contributions, and position statements. Submissions should attempt to address issues relating to Context Awareness and CBR for Ambient Intelligence. The workshop aims to provide a forum for scientists and practitioners exploring ambient intelligence, from a broad range of disciplines, to share their problems and techniques across different research and application areas. Workshop papers should be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is the format required for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of 10 pages (tentative). Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro files are available on the web at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Submissions should be made through the workshop conference management system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cacoa08).

[Fwd: [isworld] Workshop on Social Software and BPM - CfPapers]
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Workshop on Social Software and BPM - CfPapers Datum: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:21:44 -0400 Von: Selmin NURCAN <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> Antwort an: Selmin NURCAN <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear Colleague, I will be grateful to you for advertising the First International Workshop on BPM and Social Software (BPMS2'08) and inviting your colleagues and/or research students to submit their work. The objective of the BPMS2 workshop is to explore how social software and Web 2.0 may interact with business process management, how business process management has to change to comply with social production, and how business processes may profit from social techniques. The Call for Papers can be downloaded from the BPMS2'08 Web site : http://crinfo.univ-paris1.fr/users/nurcan/BPMS2/ Best regards, Selmin Nurcan BPMS2'08 co-organiser *********************************************************************************************** Call for Papers First International Workshop on Business Process Management and Social Software (BPMS2) in conjunction with BPM 2008 September 1st, 2008, Milan, Italy http://crinfo.univ-paris1.fr/users/nurcan/BPMS2/ Organizers: Selmin Nurcan � University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France Rainer Schmidt � Aalen University , Germany Papers submission deadline: May 23, 2008 Detailed Call for Papers is below.

Social software is software that triggers mechanisms of sociality by providing support for social practices, experiences, identity and production. Users are supported in creating new contacts, presenting themselves and collaborating with other users. As a result, content, knowledge and software is not created by a hierarchy of experts, but by combining a multitude of contributions of independent authors/actors. Examples for such a social production are wikis, blogs, social bookmarking and tagging, etc. Social software follows a more egalitarian and meritocratic approach compared to traditional approaches where the role of the software user is determined by the enterprise senior management and its representatives. Thus, trust and reputation play a crucial role in the use of social software instead of authority granted by the top management. The paradigm of social software and social production has created a multitude of success stories such as wikipedia.org and the development of the Linux operating system. Therefore, more and more enterprises see social software and social production as a means for further improvement of their business processes and business models. For example, they integrate their customers into product development by using blogs to capture ideas for new products and features. Thus, business processes have to be adapted to new communication patterns between customers and the enterprise: for example, the communication with the customer is increasingly a bi-directional communication with the customer and among the customers. Social software also offers new possibilities to enhance business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc. Up to now, the interaction of social software and the underlying paradigm of social production with business processes have not been investigated in depth. Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social software and social production interact with business process management, how business process management has to change to comply with social production, and how business processes may profit from social techniques. TOPICS OF INTEREST: 1. Alignment of Business Processes to Social Production - How can business processes be aligned to business models following the paradigm of social software and production? - Which concepts and methods are necessary to align business processes to business models using social software? 2. New possibilities for business processes by social software - Which new possibilities for the design of business processes are created by social software? - How are trust and reputation established in business processes using social software? - Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when they are not well defined (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad hoc? - How does social production influence the design of business processes? - Which kinds of social production have to be supported by business process management? - What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories of business processes which are not well-defined or that we do not wish to freeze using classical business process enactment systems for instance? 3. Social Software and BPM - Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software? - Is there an influence of social production and social software on BPM methods themselves? - Are there any similarities or relationships with process mining techniques and also with workflow control and role patterns? - Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Performance, Evaluation) are affected the most by social software? - How can BPM profit from using social software? - Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM lifecycle? 4. Implementation support by social software - Which kinds of social software can be used to implement business processes? - Which categories of business processes can profit from social software? - How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process support systems? - How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes? - What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by social production? SUBMISSION: Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper related to one or more of the main topics. Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that raise relevant questions, or describe successful or unsuccessful practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers will be assigned a 20 minute presentation. Short papers of up to 1000 words can also be submitted, and will be assigned a 10 minutes presentation. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion. Papers should be emailed to Rainer.Schmidt(a)htw-aalen.de EXPECTED RESULTS: All papers will be published on workshop wiki before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other participants. A blog will be used to encourage and support discussions. The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. The workshop report will be created collaboratively using a wiki. The best paper of the workshop can be submitted for a special issue of the Software Process Improvement and Practice Journal.
