[Fwd: [isworld] Call for papers: Coordination of Domain Specific Languages]
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for papers: Coordination of Domain Specific Languages Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:50:12 +0100 Von: Laurence Tratt <laurie(a)tratt.net> Antwort an: Laurence Tratt <laurie(a)tratt.net> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ............................................................................ CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Coordination of Domain Specific Languages 23rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering September 16, 2008 L'Aquila (Italy) http://www.model-transformation.org/CDSL2008/ ............................................................................ THEME/MOTIVATION Raising the level of abstraction beyond programming by specifying the problem directly using domain concepts is gaining acceptance in developing software systems. In fact, this leverages intellectual property and business logic from source code into high-level descriptions and allows organizations to focus on the essential aspects of their systems, which have traditionally been blurred by the usage of programming languages and underlying technologies. In many cases, final products can be generated automatically from high-level specifications which encode the problem and not its solution. In general, this automation is possible because both the language and generators need fit the requirements of only one company and domain. The workshop aims at exploring techniques, systems, metamodels and languages to define communities of domain-specific languages which exists as a whole or individually and are, in some sense, able to coordinate each other according to an overall semantics/scope. Multi-view specifications, system and language synchronization, and language evolution and co-adaptation can be considered typical applications of these techniques. TOPICS This workshop focuses on the scientific and practical aspects related with the adoption of Domain-Specific Languages for supporting system engineering and modeling. Thus, we encourage submissions from both academia and industry about the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics: - Tools and techniques for supporting domain-specific languages, domain-specific modeling, and metamodels. - Principles for identifying constructs for coordinating languages. - Language and Model/Metamodel synchronization, composition and correspondence specification. - Consistency and conflicts in community of languages, models/metamodels - Language and Metamodel evolution / co-adaptation. - White vs. black box composition of languages. - Industry/academic experience reports describing success/failure in adopting several domain-specific languages at once. - Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific languages. - Issues of support/maintenance of models and evolution of a language in accordance with the representative domain. - Specific domains where the adoption of DSLs and related technologies looks promising. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Research papers should describe original research results that have not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality, appropriateness and significance. Submissions should not exceed 8 pages in the IEEE format. Experience reports should describe new insights gained from case studies or the application of language/modeling techniques in practice. All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the program committee. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF (preferred) or PostScript format via the submission page on the Workshop website. JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE A selected number of the best papers accepted will be invited for expansion and revision for possible publication in a journal special issue dedicated to the subject.

[Fwd: [isworld] Call for Papers SBPM2008: 3rd International Workshop on Semantic Business Process Management]
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers SBPM2008: 3rd International Workshop on Semantic Business Process Management Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:09:06 +0200 Von: Martin Hepp <martin.hepp(a)deri.org> Antwort an: Martin Hepp <martin.hepp(a)deri.org> Organisation: University of Innsbruck An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> [apologies for cross-posting] ===================================================================== Call for Papers: 3rd International Workshop on Semantic Business Process Management (SBPM 2008), in conjunction with the 5th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC'08) June 2, 2008, Tenerife, Spain http://sbpm2008.fzi.de/ ++ CEUR Online Proceedings ++ ++ Submission deadline May 1, 2008 (extended) ++ ++ Best papers will be invited for fast-track review in Journals ++ ++ Selected papers will be invited for Springer book ++ ===================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== The degree of automation in the management of the business process space of single enterprises and whole value chains is still unsatisfying. A key source of problems are representational heterogeneities between the various perspectives and the various stages in the life-cycles of business processes. Typical examples are incompatible representations of the managerial vs. the IT perspective, or the gap between normative modeling for compliance purposes and process execution log data. As early as in the 1990s, researchers have evaluated the potential of using ontologies for improving business process management in the context of the TOVE project; however, the impact of that work remained beyond initial expectations. Since 2005, there is a renewed and growing interest in exploiting ontologies, of varying expressivity and focus, for advancing the state of the art in business process management, in particular in ERP- centric IT landscapes. The term "Semantic Business Process Management" has been suggested for the described branch of research in early 2005. A flagship activity in the field is the European research project "SUPER", with more than a dozen premier industrial and academic partners, among them SAP, IDS Scheer, and IBM. In the past years, substantial advancement has been made in investigating the theoretical and practical branches of this vision. However, the interdisciplinary nature of the topic requires a tight collaboration of researcher from multiple fields of, namely the BPM, SOA, Semantic Web, Semantic Web services, and Economics communities. There is a clear need for an annual event at which those communities meet, debate, challenge each others approaches, and eventually align their research efforts. Due to the strong involvement of Semantic Web researchers in the field, ESWC is the ideal target venue for this event. In this workshop, we want to bring together experts from the relevant communities and help reach agreement on a roadmap for SBPM research. We aim at bundling experiences and prototypes from the successful application of Semantic Web technology to BPM in various industries, like automotive, engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical, and services domains. The particular focus is on deriving reusable best-practices from such experiences, and to yield convincing showcases of semantic technology. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting contributions addressing one or more of the following topics: Design-time aspects of Semantic Business Process Management: ----------------------------------------------------------- * Semantic modeling of business processes * Language issues (BPM languages to SBPM languages) * Business rules and SBPM * Semantics of existing modeling approaches * Mapping between Semantic Web languages and business process modeling * Semantic policy modeling and management for BPM * Reasoning for verifying semantic business process models * Reuse and adaptation of semantic business process models * Semantics for Collaborative BPM Run-time aspects of Semantic Business Process Management: -------------------------------------------------------- * Dynamics and flexibility of SBPM implementations * Combination of business rules execution and workflow execution * Semantic web services for SBPM * Interoperability between conventional and semantics-enabled BPM solutions * Semantic analysis of BP execution * SBPM to support business activity monitoring and real-time business intelligence * Change management and evolution of business processes, including process mining * Personalized and context-aware process instantiation * Semantic Grid in SBPM Practical and business aspects of Semantic Business Process Management: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Business scenarios and case studies for SBPM in eBusiness, eGovernment, eHealth, production control, collaborative processes in logistics, engineering and management, ubiquitous computing, etc. * The role of BPM in SBPM * Migration from conventional towards semantics-based modeling * Contributions of SBPM for Corporate Performance Management * Critical success factors for the practical application of SBPM * Business benefits, evaluation aspects, and ROI of SBPM approaches * Standardization efforts relevant to or required for SBPM * SOA and SBPM * Reference models relevant to or required for SBPM * Combination of SBPM with quality management and IT service management * BPM and Web 2.0 Submissions =========== We inviting full papers, position papers, posters, and demos on all theoretical and practical aspects of Semantic Business Process Management, in particular such addressing the real-world business and technology questions to be dealt with in realistic, useful applications for e-Business and e-Government. When preparing your submission, please adhere to the following rules: * Papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS Style. More information is available at http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html. * Regular research papers are limited to 15 pages. * Discussion papers, experimental contributions, and system and demo descriptions are limited to 6 pages. * Clearly indicate the type of the contribution, e.g. as sub-title. * Submissions must be in PDF using the workshop submission system for SBPM 2008 at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sbpm2008.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] HICSS Call for Papers - Technology and Strategies for SOA Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:09:36 -0400 Von: William David Haseman <daveh(a)uwm.edu> Antwort an: William David Haseman <daveh(a)uwm.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Please consider submitting to the Technology and Strategies for SOA mini-track of the HICSS-42 conference to be held January 5-8, 2009 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort on the Big Island in Hawaii. Papers need to be submitted by June 15, 2008. Refer to the following information for additional details. Track: Internet & Digital Economy Minitrack: Technology and Strategies for SOA A service-oriented IT architecture (SOA) is an architectural style for building software applications that use available services in a network, which is gaining increasing importance in the industry. SOA is having a profound impact on how information systems are being developed, how IT units are being organized, and may even provide opportunities for new business models. While core standards and technologies related to SOA have matured and are being widely implemented, standards relating to higher level layers of the Web services "technology stack" (e.g., orchestration, reliability, and semantic description) are still emerging or maturing. Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Reviews of existing specifications and standards, implementation tools, and discussion of their current and future development * Proposals for development, extensions and improvements of current specifications (i.e., semantic description for Web services) * Examination of strategies and approaches of technology application (i.e., governance of Web services registries) in service-oriented architectures * Studies on the organizational impact of the adoption of service-oriented architectures Visit our home page for more information or to submit an abstract.

Hung <patrick.hung(a)uoit.ca> Antwort an: Patrick C. K. Hung <patrick.hung(a)uoit.ca> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues, researchers and students. Many Thanks. CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth Annual Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (PST 2008) ================================================================= October 1-3, 2008, Delta Fredericton Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada URL: http://www.unb.ca/pstnet/pst2008/ The 2008 International Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (PST 2008) is the SIXTH such annual conference focusing on PST technologies. PST 2008 will be affiliated with IFIP WG11.11. In 2008 new technologies and new applications are not likely to be widely adopted until they can demonstrate that the security of the underlying ICT infrastructure and the privacy of the information being processed are fully protected.

[Fwd: [WI] Deadline Extension: Cross-Platform Aspects of the Social Web]
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Deadline Extension: Cross-Platform Aspects of the Social Web Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:16:32 +0200 Von: Alexander Stocker <astocker(a)know-center.at> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Special Track on Cross-Platform Aspects of the Social Web (CPASW '08) http://www.triple-i.tugraz.at/i_media/special_tracks/cpasw 3 September 2008 Graz, Austria --------------------------------------- DEADLINE EXTENSION Since many authors have asked for an extension of the submission deadline, we will keep our submission system open for further two weeks. The extended submission deadline is now April 28, 2008. --------------------------------------- This one-day special track takes place during TRIPLE-I '08 in Graz, Austria (3 - 5 September 2008) as one program item of I-MEDIA '08. The special track provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various cross-platform aspects of the Social Web (CPASW). I-MEDIA is part of a joint venture of the conferences united under the brand TRIPLE-I (http://triple-i.tugraz.at/): I-KNOW - International Conference on Knowledge Management, I-MEDIA - International Conference on New Media Technology, and I-SEMANTICS - International Conference on Semantic Systems. TRIPLE-I reflects the increasing importance and convergence of Knowledge Management, New Media Technology and Semantic Systems. This unique concept aims at bridging the gaps between the various communities and their technology fields. Background The ongoing socialization of the Web has led to the emergence of social platforms covering a wide range of applications. All of these platforms collect vast amounts of information from their users. However, users struggle when they want to retrieve their submitted information for reuse on other platforms. Users are typically active on a multitude of Web platforms and are currently annoyed by having to repeat many steps, including sign-up, login, user profile creation, and connecting with friends - defining their social graph - over and over again. Sharing information between Web platforms is still very limited. With lacking interoperability, users become increasingly frustrated while trying to overcome the technical and legal hurdles. One popular example would be the well-known blogger Robert Scoble who, trying to retrieve his social graph from Facebook, was left with his account disabled. Several initiatives have been started recently, including OpenSocial (http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/), DataPortability (http://www.dataportability.org/) and the Open Social Web (http://opensocialweb.org/). They all cover aspects emerging in a cross-platform environment, e.g. counteracting the 'social network fatigue'. However, scientific publications on the mentioned topics are still scarce. Besides the rather pragmatic approaches from the industry, a multitude of scientific projects are conducted by the Semantic Web community, e.g. the influential LinkingOpenData project of the W3C (http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData). These Semantic Web projects also deal with cross-platform aspects, however due to the explicit focus on semantic technologies, they are mainly discussed within the I-SEMANTICS (http://www.i-semantics.at/). Objectives CPASW '08 tries to find answers to the following guiding research questions: * What are the fundamental interoperability challenges arising in the Social Web? * What models, frameworks and technical solutions can help to overcome these challenges? * How can cross-platform synergies be facilitated? * What are the (side-)effects for existing platforms? The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organizations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. Topics CPASW '08 is concerned with the emerging cross-platform aspects related to the recent socialization of the Web and the development of models, frameworks and standards in this regard. Currently, this field is mainly driven by dedicated individuals, supported by parts of the industry. CPASW intends to bring together scientific endeavours dealing with cross-platform aspects. Social, technical as well as business research questions are of interest. We invite submissions that deal with aspects including (but not limited to): * User-related aspects o Implications of the Open Social Web o Identity management o Privacy and security aspects o Cross-platform trust * Provider-related aspects o Application portability across Social Web platforms o Web Services, APIs and Mashups o Interoperability aspects o Standardization efforts o Impact on existing business models * Data-related aspects o Data Portability o Synchronisation across platforms o Aspects of Social Network portability o Knowledge Diffusion across Social Web platforms Important Dates 28 April 2008: Submission of the full papers (8 pages) 31 May 2008: Notification of acceptance 30 June 2008: Camera ready version (8 pages) 3-5 Sept. 2008: TRIPLE-I Conference Submission Procedure File Types: PDF (Microsoft Word, LaTeX) Style Guides: http://triple-i.tugraz.at/about/style_guide Paper Submission System: http://know-center.tugraz.at/chairhelper/cpasw08/submission In case of problems or questions concerning the submission of papers, please contact the track chairs at cpasw(a)know-center.at. Notification of Acceptance and Publishing Accepted papers will be published within the I-MEDIA '08 conference proceedings. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for I-MEDIA'08 before the deadline for Camera ready versions (30 June 2008).
