-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP 11th International Symposium on Component Based Software Engineering Datum: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:14:21 +0200 Von: Reijers, H.A. <H.A.Reijers(a)tue.nl> Antwort an: Reijers, H.A. <H.A.Reijers(a)tue.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CC: Chaudron, M.R.V. <m.r.v.chaudron(a)tue.nl> 11th International Symposium on Component Based Software Engineering CBSE-2008 14-17 October 2008, Karlsruhe, Germany Important Dates Submission May 15, 2008 Notification June 9, 2008 Camera Ready July 7, 2008 Proceedings will be published by Springer as a LNCS volume. Component-based Software Engineering is part of CompArch see http://comparch2008.ipd.uka.de/ for more info. Goals ===== Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) has emerged as a technology for rapid assembly of flexible software systems. CBSE combines elements of software architecture, modular software design, software verification, configuration and deployment. To foster exchange and collaboration with the software architecture community, CBSE is colocated with the Quality of Software Architectures Conference (QoSA) as part of the federated CompArch event. The CBSE symposium has a track record of bringing together researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to promote a better understanding of CBSE from a diversity of perspectives, and to engage in active discussion and debate. CBSE 2007 is open to all participants interested in CBSE and related areas. The symposium addresses participants from both universities and industry. Scope ===== The theoretical foundations of component specification, composition, analysis and verification continue to pose research challenges. While the engineering models and methods for component software development are slowly maturing, new trends in global services and distributed systems architectures push the limits of established and tested component-based methods, tools and platforms: * model-driven development and grid technologies with their high-performance demands in massive data storage, computational complexity and global co-scheduling of scientific models in flagship science, technology and medicine research; * global software development with its lowering of cost of software capabilities and production, through automation, off-shoring and outsourcing of key components and subsystems; * networked enterprise information systems and services architectures crossing enterprise, nation, legal and discipline boundaries; * shift from (globally distributed) software products to pervasive and ubiquitous services supported by deep software-intensive infrastructures and middleware and by increasingly flexible, adaptive and autonomous client and application server software. CBSE 2007 will include contributions that explore how the nature of component-based software engineering is being influenced by developments in the field of software and global enterprise technology. In addition to presentations of papers, the symposium will incorporate working and industry sessions. Topics of interest ================== * Design of component models; * Theories (including taxonomies) of software composition and binding; * Co-ordination and choreography of component software, services, workflows; * Run-time adaptation of component-based systems; * Interaction between component models, software architectures and product lines; * Component-based web services and service-oriented architectures; * Software quality and extra-functional properties for components and component-based systems; * Global generation, adaptation and deployment of component-based systems and services; * Components and generative approaches; * Components and model-driven development; * Specification, verification and testing of component-based systems; * Compositional reasoning techniques for component models; * Global measurement, prediction and monitoring of distributed and services and components; * Patterns and frameworks for component-based systems and services; * Integrated tool chains and methods for building component-based services; * Components for networked real-time information systems and sensor networks. * Industrial experience using component-based software development * Empirical studies in component-based software engineering * Teaching component-based software engineering Paper Submission ================ All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members (four for papers with an author on the program committee). Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. Any duplicate submissions will be rejected without review. As always, the symposium seeks reports on innovative contributions to the science and technology of CBSE. Papers describing practical experience with CBSE in mission- and performance-critical systems are of particular interest. Long and short papers on leading-edge research and development in progress are also encouraged. Long papers must not exceed 16 pages and short papers must not exceed 8 pages, in the required format. The proceeding will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and papers should have the requisite format. Details regarding the submission will be published on http://comparch2008.ipd.uka.de/ Organization ============= Program Chairs Michel Chaudron, TU Eindhoven & Leiden University, The Netherlands m.r.v.chaudron(a)tue.nl Clemens Szyperski, Microsoft, USA Clemens.Szyperski(a)microsoft.com CompArch Organization Chair Ralph Reussner, Universität Karlsruhe (TH), Germany Steering Committee Ivica Crnkovic, Mälardalen University, Sweden Ian Gorton, Pacific North West National Laboratory, USA George Heineman, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA Heinz Schmidt, RMIT University, Australia, Judith Stafford, Tufts University, USA Clemens Szyperski, Microsoft, USA Program Committee Uwe Assmann, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany Mike Barnett, Microsoft Research, USA Antonia Bertolino, CNR Research, Pisa, Italy Judith Bishop, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa Ivica Crnkovic, Malardalen University, Vasteras, Sweden Dimitra Giannakopoulou, RIACS/NASA Ames, Moffet Field CA, USA Ian Gorton, Pacific North West National Laboratory, Richland WA, USA Lars Grunske, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia Richard Hall, LSR-IMAG, Grenoble, France Dick Hamlet, Portland State University, Portland OR, USA George Heineman, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester MA, USA Jean-Marc Jezequel, IRISA (INRIA & Univ.

[Fwd: [isworld] Call for Papers - Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society]

22 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers - Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society Datum: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:26:09 +0100 (BST) Von: CCSR Web Master <ccsr(a)dmu.ac.uk> Antwort an: CCSR Web Master <ccsr(a)dmu.ac.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers - Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society Special Issue on 'ICTs and Social Inclusion' Important Dates Final date for submission - June 15 2008 Submissions to: Cathy Urquhart on c.urquhart(a)auckland.ac.nz or Yvonne Underhill-Sem on y.underhill-sem(a)auckland.ac.nz Guest Editors: Cathy Urquhart, Information Systems and Operations Management, University of Auckland Business School Yvonne Underhill-Sem, Centre for Development Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Auckland While information and communication technologies (ICTs) may appear ubiquitous in the 21st century, access to those ICTs is far from universal. The term 'social inclusion' has been suggested as a more positive way of approaching this digital divide (Warschauer 2003). Social inclusion is defined as 'participation in the determination of both individual and collective life chances' (Stewart 2000). Thus there is more to social inclusion than equal access to resources, and it should be recognised that even wealthy individuals may be excluded because of discrimination based on gender, race, sexual preference or disability, or political persecution (Warschauer 2003). For instance, there is evidence that African Americans are socially excluded from participation in ICTs despite the US being a so-called developed country, and this is true of many poorer communities in developed countries. In developing countries, there is evidence that ICT initiatives tend to favour those who already have access to ICTs through a superior education (Warschauer 2003). It is inceasingly important to locate ICTs within the particular social conditions because as with all technologies, they are an integral aspect of socio-political, economic and cultural development (Hufkin and Huyer 2006). ICTs can play a crucial role in shaping collective life chances, for instance the access to information that ICTs offer can help poverty reduction. ICTs also facilitate the building of human and social capital through increasing flows of information, and building on knowledge and human capacity for poverty reduction (Urquhart, Liyanage and Kah 2007). In addition to their empowering possibilities, ICTs have also inhibiting tendencies especially when information and communication is not integrated within development strategies. These contradictory tendencies invite more careful theoretically nuanced analysis of ICTs and social inclusion. If the position of social inclusion implies equal access to technology for all, then the sustainability of ICTs in terms of how they are designed, used and disposed of is also of relevance. E-waste is a problem in some developing countries, and can be seen to be contrary to the social inclusion ideal as some countries end up processing other countries -waste. Such actions are likely to have generational effects, socially and ecologically. Social inclusion by implication has a concern with equity and social justice - and environmental problems like global warming do not respect political boundaries. For these reasons, we also invite papers that look at novel perspectives on ICTs and environmental issues. Possible topics for papers include but are not limited to: * Assessing government policies and initiatives that counter social exclusion in ICTs * Economic perspectives on access to ICTs such as government policy and ICT infrastructure * Access, ownership and control of ICTs (including the micro and macro politics of artefacts) * Social, spatial and philosophical dimensions of ICTs and social inclusion * ICTs and social inclusion as a result of gender inequality, racial discrimination and other aspects of social exclusion * The role of human and social capital in effective access and use of ICTs * The role of virtual communities in promoting social inclusion * Unintended consequences of ICT for social inclusion * ICTs and e-government * The role of ICTs in economic development. * How ICTs are reconfiguring traditional notions of citizenship and participation. * Sustainable ICTs and ICTs which assist with problems of climate change and environmental monitoring. Please feel free to contact Cathy Urquhart on c.urquhart(a)auckland.ac.nz or Yvonne Underhill-Sem on y.underhill-sem(a)auckland.ac.nz with any queries on submission. See author guidelines <http://listmanager.emeraldinsight.com/t/8289/55074/1017/0/> for submission requirements. The normal length requirement is 7000 words but we are also inviting shorter submissions on cutting edge research that is in an earlier stage of development. The papers should be emailed to both guest editors. The submission should also include a structured abstract (http://info.emeraldinsight.com/authors/guides/abstracts.htm <http://listmanager.emeraldinsight.com/t/8289/55074/1018/0/> ) and a signed JAR form (http://info.emeraldinsight.com/authors/writing/jarforms_index.htm <http://listmanager.emeraldinsight.com/t/8289/55074/1019/0/> ).

The business processes of different organisations are required to be integrated seamlessly, while the constructed business process network dynamically evolves to adapt to the continuously changing business conditions. On the way to fully support such flexible collaborations, issues such as privacy and security, reliability and flexibility, scalability and agility, process validation, QoS guarantees, etc., place challenges in front. Therefore, more academic research, facilitating infrastructure, protocols and standards are being expected to shift current business process management for supporting collaborative business processes. The 1st CBP workshop was successfully held in Brisbane, Australia, last year, followed by a special issue on collaborative business processes, in Information System Frontiers. With these, the 2nd CBP workshop continues to stimulate the exchange of ideas and experiences of researchers, practitioners, and engineers working in the area of collaborative business process management. All accepted papers will be published by Springer as a volume in their series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing. The best paper of CBP 2008 will be invited to a special issue of the "Software Process Improvement and Practice" Journal. Suggested Topics ---------------- The workshop will cover the scope of research relevant to collaborative business processes, including, but not limited to, the following topics: * Contracting for business collaboration * Process discovery in business collaboration * Process composition in business collaboration * Service matching in business collaboration * Change management in business collaboration * Process evolvement in business collaboration * Process migration in business collaboration * Privacy and confidentiality management in business collaboration * Process continuity in business collaboration * Autonomy in business collaboration * Authorisation management in business collaboration * Collaborative business process modelling * Verification and validation of collaborative business process models * Performance assessment on collaborative business processes * Monitoring and tracking over collaborative business processes * Architectures and infrastructures for collaborative business processes * Protocols for collaborative business processes * Choreography and orchestration in collaborative business processes * Collaborative business processes in service oriented computing environments, such as Web service, Grid, P2P, etc. * Collaborative business process applications, such as supply chain and virtual organisation alliance * Studies on business process management or service oriented architecture (e.g. current difficulties, unsolved issues, etc. ) * Case studies on business process management or service oriented architecture * Other facilitating technologies for or experiences with business process management or service oriented architecture Submission Guidelines --------------------- All contributions will be reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to workshop themes. Papers must be no more than 12 pages and should be formatted in LNBIP format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs? SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0 for details). Submitted papers must be written in English and clearly state the contribution. All accepted workshop papers will appear in the proceeding together with other BPM workshops published by the Springer a couple of months after the workshop. Authors of accepted papers must register for the BPM 2008 conference. Important Dates --------------- Deadline for workshop paper submissions: 23 May 2008 Notification of acceptance: 27 June 2008 Camera-ready papers deadline: 6 July 2008 Workshops: 1 September 2008 Post-proceeding version of the paper 23 September 2008 Co-Organisers ------------- Chengfei Liu, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Wasim Sadiq, SAP Research, Australia Xiaohui Zhao, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Program Committee ----------------- Nam Wook Cho, Seoul National University of Technology, Korea Peter Dadam, University of Ulm, Germany Maya Daneva, University of Twente, The Netherlands Asuman Dogac, Middle East Technical University, Turkey Schahram Dustdar, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Jaap Gordijn, Free University, The Netherlands Paul Grefen, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Yanan Hao, Victoria University, Australia Igor Hawryszkiewycz, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Patrick C.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Journal of Information Privacy and Security (JIPS) Datum: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:45:52 -0500 Von: Changchit, Chuleeporn, Ph.D. <Chuleeporn.Changchit(a)tamucc.edu> Antwort an: Changchit, Chuleeporn, Ph.D. <Chuleeporn.Changchit(a)tamucc.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CC: <admin(a)ivylp.com> Journal of Information Privacy and Security (JIPS) http://jips.cob.tamucc.edu/ CALL FOR PAPERS: Editor-in-Chief: Chuleeporn Changchit, Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi Mission The mission of the Journal of Information Privacy and Security (JIPS) is to serve both academics and practitioners as a reliable source on issues of information privacy and security. The Journal is a high quality refereed journal that seeks support from academicians, industry experts and specific government agencies. The JIPS focuses on publishing articles that address the paradoxical nature of privacy versus security amidst current global conditions. It is increasingly important that various constituents of information begin to understand their role in finding solutions to achieve a delicate balance between security and privacy. The JIPS will facilitate understanding of the information assurance technical framework as it pertains to government agencies, companies and individuals. The topics may include the information privacy and security issues pertaining to initiatives on counter-terrorism efforts around the world, the impact of U.S. federal regulation and compliance issues facing global corporations, the impact of privacy and security initiatives within small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and e-gambling. Article submissions are encouraged from both academics and practitioners. Each issue will include high quality articles from academics and practitioners, case studies, book reviews, and industry interviews. The Journal addresses issues of privacy and security from a global perspective and will consider articles with a cross-functional focus. The Journal will include articles in the following areas: - Information Assurance frameworks - Network security and impact on corporate infrastructure - Privacy laws and impact on information compliance issues - The duality of privacy and security and impact on corporate operations - Governmental regulations and changes on information security requirements - Data transfer issues across nations, states, and corporations - Privacy and security requirements in B2B and B2C information flows - Cross-functional aspects of information assurance and requirements faced by various business functions within companies - Web sites, portals and the issue of trust - Information privacy and security as it relates to end-users - Applications and case studies in privacy and security issues facing business organizations, government agencies and individuals - Emerging topics such as biometrics, software utilities, and IT obligations and how they change the business environment Review Process Each article will be blind-reviewed by three members of the editorial review board. Reviewer recommendation will be considered by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. For a revision and rewrite, a revised paper will be sent to one of the Editors for final approval. The final decision will be made by the Editor-in-Chief. Interested authors should consult the journal's manuscript submission guidelines at http://jips.cob.tamucc.edu/style.htm All inquiries and submissions should be sent to: Editor-in-Chief: Dr. Chuleeporn Changchit at chuleeporn.changchit(a)tamucc.edu ************************************************************************ Chuleeporn Changchit, Ph.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Papers: "Digitale Soziale Netze" (Informatik 2008) Datum: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:38:41 +0200 Von: Kai Fischbach <fischbach(a)wim.uni-koeln.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *************************************************** Digitale Soziale Netze http://www.digitale-soziale-netze.de Ganztägiger Workshop an der Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) 8. - 13. September 2008, München *************************************************** Tag des Workshops: Freitag 12. September 2008 Einreichung von Beiträgen bis 28.04.2008. Koordinator: Clemens Cap (Universität Rostock) Allgemeine Thematik: Zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen und daraus entstehende soziale Netze sind eine wichtige Stütze gesellschaftlicher und technischer Entwicklungen. Mit den Technologien und Konzepten des Web 2.0 entstehen neue digitale Formen der Unterstützung und der partizipativen Entwicklung sozialer Netze. Social Software als neue Form von Kooperationssystemen schickt sich an, neue Formen der Zusammenarbeit in und außerhalb von Unternehmen zu ermöglichen. Der ökonomische Erfolg von Portalen wie XING / OpenBC, LinkedIn, Friendster, Orkut, StudiVZ oder Facebook macht den Bedarf nach solchen Lösungen deutlich, offenbart aber auch die Schwierigkeit ihrer korrekten ökonomischen Bewertung. Aus Sicht des Benutzers werden Fragen der Privatheit, des Datenschutzes und des Identitätsdiebstahls wichtig. Wer in mehreren Systemen angemeldet ist, wünscht sich Interoperabilität und Datenaustausch. Neben rein technologischen Fragen werden auch Themen medialer Präsenz in offenen und halboffenen Foren und soziologische Phänomene bedeutsam. Mit der flächendeckenden digitalen Verfügbarkeit menschlicher Kommunikationsakte auf diesen Plattformen entstehen neue Möglichkeiten der Analyse sozialer Netzwerke bis hin zur Vorhersage gesellschaftlicher Trends. Spezifische Themenfelder: Der Workshop Digitale Soziale Netze soll als ganztägige Veranstaltung diese Diskussion aus theoretischer und praktischer Perspektive beleuchten. Speziell von Interesse sind dabei Beiträge zu den folgenden Themen: * Analysemethoden digitaler sozialer Netze und sozialer Interaktion * Social Networking Services und soziale Software * Vertrauen, Reputation, authentische Inhalte und Sozialkontrolle in digitalen Netzen * Anwendungen, Services und APIs auf sozialen Portalen * Soziale Suchmaschinen, Trendanalysen und Trendprognosen auf sozialen Portalen * Spezielle Eigenschaften von Graphen bei sozialen Netzen * Technische Modellierung sozialer Strukturen * Business Cases und ökonomische Bewertung digitaler sozialer Netze * Rechtliche und soziologische Aspekte von Online Communities * Soziale Netzwerke und Spiele * Technische Fragen bei digitalen sozialen Netzen * Sicherheit, Privatheit, Identitätsschutz und Medienkompetenz bei sozialen Portalen * Interoperabilität, Datenaustausch und -synchronisation bei sozialen Portalen * Personalisierung und Anpassung an Nutzerpräferenzen * Fallstudien, wenn sie besondere Alleinstellungsmerkmale aufweisen Programmgestaltung: Die Beiträge sollen maximal 6 Seiten lang sein und in deutsch oder englisch bisher noch nicht veröffentlichte Forschungsergebnisse darstellen Die Beiträge werden in einem gemeinsamen Tagungs-Band aller Workshops von der GI veröffentlicht. Falls die Autoren aus wichtigen Gründen zusätzlich eine längere Version des Papiers auf der DVD der Tagung publizieren wollen, so besteht dazu nach Rücksprache mit dem Koordinator die Möglichkeit. Erfahrungsberichte mit Neuigkeits- und Alleinstellungsmerkmalen sowie interdisziplinäre Beiträge sind willkommen. Ziel ist eine Mischung theoretischer und praktischer Arbeiten, denen jeweils ein Halbtag gewidmet werden soll. Alle Beiträge werden in anonymisierter Form von mindestens drei Mitgliedern des Programmkomitees begutachtet. Zu den Auswahlkriterien zählen insbesondere Originalität, Neuigkeit, Innovationsgehalt, Themenwahl und Präsentation der Ideen. Das Programmkomitee beabsichtigt die Einwerbung von 1 bis 2 Keynotes ausgewiesener Spezialisten. Am Abend des Workshops ist ein informelles Get Together geplant, um den Teilnehmern neben den Vorträgen und einem digitalen Networking auch reale Kontakte bei einem Glas Münchner Weißbier zu ermöglichen. Adressatenkreis: Der Workshop wendet sich an Forscher, Anwender und Praktiker im jungen Bereich der digitalen sozialen Netze. Dabei sollen neben Kern-Informatikern insbesondere auch interdisziplinäre Informatiker angesprochen werden. Gerade die Bereiche Soziologie, Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaften und Organisationspsychologie versprechen zum vorgeschlagenen Thema einen wichtigen Austausch. Besonderer Hinweis: Der beste eingereichte Beitrag wird mit dem Future Network Best Paper Award prämiert!
