-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Deadline Extension: Knowledge Sharing using Social Media Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:14:31 +0200 Von: Alexander Stocker <astocker(a)know-center.at> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Special Track on Knowledge Sharing using Social Media http://triple-i.tugraz.at/i_know/special_tracks/kss 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 programme item of I-KNOW '08. The Special Track provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of Knowledge Sharing using Social Media (KSS). The I-KNOW 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 Technologies and Semantic Systems. This unique concept aims at bridging the gaps between the various communities and their technology fields. Background This KSS special track is the fourth event of a series which started at I-KNOW '05. The focus of the individual events always was on knowledge sharing but each year a different trend was picked up. In the first year attention was paid to knowledge sharing in research and higher education mainly within closed environments. In the second year the focus on research and higher education was continued but the knowledge sharing environments then were web 2.0 applications, especially social software, partly combined with semantic technologies. In the last year the organisers called for contributions dealing with social software especially in the organisational context. This year we keep this topic since research and experiences have grown. In the past years different organisations - reaching from educational institutions to large companies - gave Social Media a trial and thus brought down the hype to earth. While in the beginnings it was not so clear in which areas which kind of Social Media could make sense, to which factors attention has to be paid for a successful implementation, and what the added value could be, in the meantime first answers have been found. Corresponding books were recently published, conferences increasingly addressed this topic, and science and industry published their insights in journals and magazines. Additionally, and this is the newest development in this area, there are first ideas about the integration of Social Media with Semantic Technologies. Objectives Against the background of real world applications of Social Media, KSS '08 tries to find answers to the following guiding research questions: * How is Social Media applied at the interface between enterprise and customers or partners? * Which factors facilitate and impede the successful implementation of Social Media? * Which Social Media applications are most promising for what purpose? * What are the approaches in introducing Social Media? * How is Social Media integrated with semantic technologies and to what purpose? The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organisations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. Topics KSS '08 is especially concerned with the intern application of Social Media in small and medium sized enterprises, but also multinational enterprises, and the application at the interface to the outside world, namely partners, customers or even potential/former employees. Social, technical as well as business research questions and issues are of interest. We welcome scientific papers which present methods, tools, technologies, best practices and case studies. We invite submissions that deal with issues including, but are not limited to: * Procedures and practices of implementing Social Media in enterprises and at the interface to the outside world of an enterprise * Social Media in different business processes such as marketing, product development, training, innovation, or customer relationship * Social Media in individual and collaborative work * Value analysis of Social Media * Social Network Analysis * Economic and social theories explaining Social Media issues * Integration of social software with mobile devices * Cross-linkage of Social Media applications * Social Media business models 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, Word for Windows Style Guides: http://triple-i.tugraz.at/about/style_guide Paper Submission System: http://i-know.know-center.tugraz.at/chairhelper/iknow08/submission In case of problems or questions concerning the submission of papers, please contact the track chairs at kss(a)know-center.at.

[Fwd: [wkwi] CfP: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce]
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce Datum: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:09:14 +0200 (CEST) Von: Martin Hepp <mhepp(a)wiinf.uni-wuerzburg.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; [ our apologies if you receive this message multiple times ] ================================================================== Call for Papers: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2008) In conjunction with the 10th IEEE Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC'08) and Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE'08) July 21, 2008, Crystal City, Washington, D.C., USA http://www.cebt.re.kr/DEECS2008/ ++ Deadline for submission: May 5, 2008 ++ ++ Full papers, position papers, posters, and demos invited ++ ++ IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings ++ ++ Proceedings will be included in the IEEE Digital Library ++ ++ More information at http://www.cebt.re.kr/DEECS2008/ ++ =================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== As part of their e-business activities, enterprises create, share, recombine, and process an ever increasing amount of data and documents that range from simple transactional data to complex business process definitions. In many respective processes, multiple spheres overlap, e.g. (1) inter- with intra-organizational data sources in collaborative processes, (2) master data with transactional data, (3) regular data with behavioral aspects of processes, or (4) facts with normative assertions. Since business entities are members of multiple value chains, same as data sources are often used in multiple contexts and processes, there are often conflicting requirements on the representation of such data. All this in combination makes e-business data engineering a very challenging task, already at the level of a single company but even more in value chains. Also, respective modeling choices may have long-lasting and far reaching impact, and affect (1) operational efficiency, (2) business process agility, (3) the range of analytical tasks for decision support, and (4) strategic options. Eventually, those choices determine the current and future degree of automation in content and process integration. While e-business standards in general help, standardization alone does not solve the problem. This is because yielding a consensual representation takes time, consumes resources, and constrains an entity’s ability to capture individual details. Moreover, the cost of implementing and enforcing the standards is sometimes prohibitive for small businesses. Proprietary representations, on the other hand, hamper interoperability, and complicate B2B integration. In service-oriented architectures (SOAs), this complexity is further increased by the behavioral dimension of e-business interactions, e.g. services choreography and orchestration. This workshop aims at providing a venue for discussion and the exchange of ideas on data and knowledge engineering issues in the dynamic environment of e-business, enterprise computing, and business services and transformation. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting full and short papers, posters, and hands-on demonstrations on the following topics: - Business data integration - Business data management - Business data privacy and security - Business decision support - Business intelligence - Business modeling and analysis - Business process integration - Business process management - Business process monitoring - Business process intelligence - Business transformation outsourcing - Case studies and applications - Corporate Knowledge Management - Customer Relationship Management (CRM) - Decision Support Systems - E-commerce content - E-commerce standards - Enterprise Application Integration - Enterprise architecture - E-procurement and sourcing - Folksonomies and Collaborative Tagging in business applications - Human Resources Management - Legal applications - Ontologies and use of Semantic Web technology - Product catalog management - Product lifecycle management - Product specification standardization - Semantic Business Process Management - Semantics-supported Business Intelligence on product data - Semantic Web Services - Sensors and actuators - Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) - Solution design and delivery - Specification and monitoring of Service-Level Agreements - Supply Chain Management - Tools tailored to applications in these areas - Ubiquitous / context-aware services - Business value and cost modeling and analysis - Virtual enterprises - Web services Paper Submission and Publication ================================ We are inviting the submission of · full papers (up to 8 pages), · position papers (up to 5 pages), · posters (2-page extended abstracts or final posters), and · hands-on demonstrations (2-page descriptions of the demo) describing original research on the listed or related topics. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers using the 8.5'' x 11'', two-column format. Submissions must be in the form of PDF documents using our conference submission system, which will be available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=deecs2008 shortly. At least one author is required to attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main CEC/EEE 2008 conference. Full papers will be published in the regular conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers will be invited for fast-track review of the International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS, ISI-indexed).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Last CfP Informatik 2008 - Workshop "Management und Entwicklung von Unternehmensarchitekturen" Datum: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:31 +0200 Von: Michael Rohloff <michael.rohloff(a)arcor.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anbei möchte ich Sie erneut auf den Workshop "Management und Entwicklung von Unternehmensarchitekturen" auf der GI-Jahrestagung Informatik 2008 in München (8-13.9.2008) aufmerksam machen. Der Workshop wird am Donnerstag, den 11.9.2008 stattfinden. *Die Einreichungsfrist für Beiträge ist der 28.04.2008. * Weitere Details über die Schwerpunkte des Workshops entnehmen Sie bitte dem beigefügten Call for Papers oder unter http://wi.uni-potsdam.de/homepage/potsdam.nsf?Open&ID=D25794DB7B045807C1257… Mit besten Grüßen Michael Rohloff ** *Last Call for Papers* *Workshop* * * *„Management und Entwicklung von Unternehmensarchitekturen“* * * *als Grundlage für „Beherrschbare Systeme – dank Informatik“* im Rahmen der 38. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI) - *INFORMATIK 2008 in München, 8.- 13. September 2008* http://www.informatik2008.de/ Unternehmensarchitekturen als übergreifender Ansatz zur Planung und Entwicklung von Architekturen im Unternehmen finden zunehmende Verbreitung in Wissenschaft und Unternehmenspraxis. Der Workshop hat das Management und die Entwicklung von Unternehmensarchitekturen und damit insbesondere die Gestaltung von Architekturen im Großen zum Gegenstand. Die Planung und Entwicklung integrierter IT-Landschaften steht im Mittelpunkt. Eine Unternehmensarchitektur umfasst die Geschäftsarchitektur (Organisation, Prozesse, Information) und die IT-Architektur (Anwendungsarchitektur, Infrastruktur/ Technologiearchitektur, IT-Sicherheit). Diese Bereiche geben den Rahmen für viele Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten in der Praxis und auch theoretischen Diskussionen vor. Von besonderer Relevanz ist die ganzheitliche Betrachtung auf Unternehmensebene und die Gestaltung von Architekturen im Großen unter Berücksichtigung der Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Bausteinen der Architektur. In der Unternehmensarchitektur müssen sich dann alle Detailarchitekturen wieder finden. Zusätzlich ist die Unternehmensarchitektur aus der Strategie des Unternehmens abzuleiten bzw. an dieser auszurichten. Serviceorientierte Ansätze ermöglichen die Ausrichtung der Architektur an den Prozessen und Services im Unternehmen. Als weiteres Themenfeld ist das Management der Entwicklung von Architekturen hervorzuheben sowie die Einbindung der unterschiedlichen Interessengruppen im Unternehmen. Es geht um die Gestaltung der Prozesse zur Architekturentwicklung und die Festlegung von Rollen und Verantwortlichkeiten sowie die Einbindung der Architekturprojekte in der Organisation. Außerdem erfordern Unternehmensarchitekturen die organisatorische Verankerung und Festlegung von Governance im Unternehmen sowie die Berücksichtigung wirtschaftlicher Aspekte. Willkommen sind Beiträge, die sich mit Unternehmensarchitekturen in einer umfassenden, ganzheitlichen Sicht auseinandersetzen. Hierzu zählen insbesondere Beiträge der methodisch-konzeptionellen Beschreibung von Unternehmensarchitekturen sowie Beiträge, die das Management und die Organisation der Architekturentwicklung sowie die Governance oder wirtschaftliche Aspekte zum Gegenstand haben. Dem Gegenstand von Unternehmensarchitekturen entsprechend, sind die Betrachtung der Architektur einzelner Informationssysteme, isolierte Teillösungen oder spezifische Technologien nicht Gegenstand dieses Workshops. Es wird vielmehr auf eine übergreifende Betrachtung aus einer Unternehmensgesamtsicht Wert gelegt. Das Thema der Unternehmensarchitekturen ist durch seine umfassende Sichtweise auch in den Inhalten entsprechend breit gefächert. Folgende Themen sind von besonderer Relevanz und sollen im Workshop aufgegriffen werden: *Modellierung und methodische Grundlagen der Unternehmensarchitektur* · Ordnungsrahmen für Unternehmensarchitekturen, Aufzeigen von Komplexität und Zusammenspiel der Architekturen und Bausteine und deren Konsequenzen bei der Umsetzung · Gesamtdarstellung einzelner Architekturbausteine und deren Komponenten für die Geschäfts- und IT-Architektur · Methoden zur Entwicklung serviceorientierter Architekturen · Strukturmuster und Entwicklungslinien in den Architekturbausteinen · Architekturprinzipien als allgemeine Regeln und Richtlinien für die einheitliche Entwicklung von Bausteinen und Komponenten · Entwicklung von Referenzarchitekturen * * *Architekturen als Instrument der Unternehmensgestaltung und -steuerung* · Vorgehen und methodische Ansätze zur Abstimmung von Geschäfts- und IT-Architekturen (Business/ IT-Alignment) · Governance und organisatorische Verankerung der Unternehmensarchitektur sowie Beitrag zur IT- und/oder Unternehmensgovernance · Interessengruppen (Stakeholder), Ziele und Konflikte der Unternehmensarchitektur *Management der Architekturentwicklung* · Architekturmanagement: Prozesse, Rollen und Organisationsstrukturen für die fortlaufende Entwicklung und Umsetzung unternehmensweiter Architekturen · Methodische Ansätze, Vorgehensmodelle und Produkte zur Entwicklung von Unternehmensarchitekturen · Management serviceorientierter Architekturen und IT-Landschaften · Anwendererfahrungen mit dem Architekturmanagement · Bewertungsverfahren und Reifegradmodelle für das Architekturmanagement *Wirtschaftlichkeit* · Anforderungen an Unternehmensarchitekturen aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht, Kosten/ Nutzen Aspekte · Benchmarks für Unternehmensarchitekturen Auf dem Workshop wird das Thema aus übergreifender, ganzheitlicher Sicht betrachtet und es werden die besonderen Herausforderungen einer Architektur im Großen und der ‚State-of-the-Art’ in einzelnen Handlungsfeldern diskutiert. Die Themen können sowohl in konzeptionell-methodischer Hinsicht wie auch durch Erfahrungsberichte oder Fallstudien aufgegriffen werden. Die Beiträge sollen das Themengebiet methodisch weiterentwickeln sowie die Umsetzung wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse in die Unternehmenspraxis aufzeigen. Dabei stehen Fragestellungen nach der Bedeutung, Handhabung in der Praxis sowie Vorgehen und Lösungsansätze für die dabei entstehenden Probleme im Vordergrund. Der Workshop richtet sich an Wissenschaftler und an Praktiker wie IT-Architekten, Berater sowie das Management. Aufgefordert wird zur Einreichung von Beiträgen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, die sich mit den obigen Fragestellungen zu Methodik und Entwicklung von Unternehmensarchitekturen, dem Architekturmanagement, der Governance und Wirtschaftlichkeit sowie den Umsetzungsproblemen in der Praxis auseinandersetzten. Der Workshop wird am Donnerstag, den 11.9.2008 stattfinden. Bitte beachten Sie auch die Veranstaltung „Anwendungslandschaften in Banken und Versicherungen“ die im Umfeld der Jahrestagung am 9.9.2008 stattfindet. *Informationen für Autoren* Die eingereichten Beiträge sollten 6 Seiten nicht überschreiten und in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst sein.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP - First International Workshop on Enterprise Interoperability - IWEI 2008 Datum: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:09:32 +0200 Von: Pontus Johnson <pontus(a)ics.kth.se> Antwort an: Pontus Johnson <pontus(a)ics.kth.se> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Enterprise Interoperability - IWEI 2008 http://www.ics.kth.se/iwei 18 September 2008, München, Germany In conjunction with the 12th IEEE International EDOC Conference- EDOC 2008 - The Enterprise Computing Conference Organised by IFIP TC5 SIG on Enterprise Interoperability (http://www.ifip.org/bulletin/bulltcs/tc5_aim.htm#SIGEI) In cooperation with INTEROP-VLab (http://www.interop-vlab.eu/) ABOUT THE WORKSHOP One of the trends in the global market is the increasing collaboration among enterprises. Constant changes in inter- and intra-organisational environment will persist in the future. Organisations have to flexibly and continuously react to (imminent) changes in markets and trading partners. Large companies but also SMEs have to cope with internal changes from both a technical (e.g. new information, communication, software and hardware technologies) and an organisational point of view (e.g. merging, re-organisation, virtual organisations, etc.). In this context, the competitiveness of an enterprise depends not only on its internal performance to produce products and services but also on its ability to seamlessly interoperate with other enterprises. External and internal collaborative work needs more interoperable solutions. This workshop aims at identifying and discussing challenges and solutions with respect to enterprise interoperability, both at the business and the technical level. The workshop promotes the development of a scientific foundation for specifying, analysing and validating interoperability solutions; an architectural framework for addressing interoperability problems from different viewpoints and at different levels of abstraction; a maturity model to evaluate and rank interoperability solutions with respect to distinguished quality criteria; and a working set of practical solutions and tools that can be applied to interoperability problems to date. The workshop invites original submissions from both researchers and practitioners in the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics: * ODP and enterprise interoperability; * SOA and enterprise interoperability; o interoperability through service discovery and composition; o orchestration of services; o mediation between services; * MDA and enterprise interoperability; o computation-independent interoperability models; o platform-independent interoperability models; o model-to-model transformations; * other reference models and architecture approaches; * enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling; * middleware and infrastructure approaches to facilitate and enhance interoperability; * business-IT alignment for interoperability; * reference ontology and mapping mechanisms; * self-organisation and adaptation for interoperability; * semantic annotations for information interoperability; * coordination and negotiation in networks of businesses; * cross-organizational business processes; * maturity models and quality criteria for evaluating interoperability solutions; * modelling, analysis and validation of interoperability; * non-functional aspects of interoperability, such as privacy, QoS, and reputation; * interoperability requirements, approaches and solutions in specific sectors * case studies and experience reports on interoperability solutions. SUBMISSION INFORMATION The workshop welcomes submissions of full papers (8 to 12 pages long) and position papers (around 4 pages) in the IEEE Computer Society format. All submissions will be formally peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published on-line in the IEEE Digital Library and in print by the University of Twente as part of the CTIT Workshop Proceedings Series (ISSN 1381-3625). At least one author of each accepted paper should participate in the workshop. Submissions should be sent in PDF format by email to iwei(a)ics.kth.se.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP SOAPL 2008 Datum: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:40:16 +0200 Von: Andreas Helferich <helferich(a)wi.uni-stuttgart.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS The Second Workshop on Service-Oriented Architecture and Software Product Lines (SOAPL 2008): Service-Oriented Architectures and Software Product Lines - Putting Both Together http://www.sei.cmu.edu/productlines/SOAPL2008/ Limerick, Ireland, September 8, 2008 as part of the 12th International Software Product line Conference (SPLC 2008) http://www.lero.ie/SPLC2008 MOTIVATION Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and software product line (SPL) approaches to software development share a common goal. They both encourage an organization to reuse existing assets and capabilities, rather than repeatedly redevelop them for new systems. The intent is that organizations can capitalize on reuse to achieve desired benefits such as productivity gains, decreased development costs, improved time to market, higher reliability, and competitive advantage. The SOAPL Workshop gives participants an opportunity to examine the benefits of combining the two approaches. OBJECTIVES This workshop will build on the results of the SOAPL 2007 Workshop: Service-Oriented Architectures and Product Lines - What Is the Connection? and the forthcoming workshop report. This year's workshop, SOAPL 2008, will explore experiences in integrating SOA and SPLs, specifically: - how web services have been used to support SPLs through SOA - how product line practices have been used to support web services and SOA Participants in SOAPL 2008 will include practitioners, architects, and developers who have experience in integrating SOA and SPL engineering and management. TOPICS Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - practice areas that span both SOA and SPLs (e.g., domain analysis, legacy mining, operations/ governance, and so forth) - handling variability through services - cost models to justify investment in SOA for SPLs - use of support technology such as domain-specific languages, tools, and others - differences between service-oriented and more conventional product line development approaches - architectural approaches: static vs. dynamic SUBMISSIONS Prospective participants must submit a three to six page position paper or experience report that pertains to the workshop topics listed above or describes the software architecture or other artifacts of an SOA-based product line. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee for quality and relevance. Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings. Three or four papers will be chosen to be presented during the workshop to foment discussion. Submit your paper in PDF form to [soa-workshop at sei.cmu.edu] by July 1, 2008. IMPORTANT DATES Papers due: July 1, 2008 Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2008 Workshop date: September 8, 2008 WORKSHOP CHAIRS Robert Krut, Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University Sholom Cohen, Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University PROGRAM COMMITTEE Sholom Cohen, Software Engineering Institute Dragan Gasevic, Athabasca University Andreas Helferich, University of Stuttgart Robert Krut, Software Engineering Institute Jaejoon Lee, Lancaster University Grace Lewis, Software Engineering Institute Tomi Mannisto, Helsinki University of Technology Curt Pederson, American Family Insurance Dennis Smith, Software Engineering Institute Christoph Wienands, Siemens -- Mailing-Liste: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: WI-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/mailman/listinfo/wi

The goal is to support,enable and exploit learning opportunities embedded within the daily work processes of the individual and in turn repurpose the experiences, work results and other resources within the organization as learning resources. We will put special focus on novel technological approaches to support workplace learning, such as the application of semantic technologies and social software principles and related technologies. Original papers are solicited and will be reviewed by a board of international experts. This special track continues the series of IWL Special Tracks and LOKMOL workshops and builds upon their results. Topics include but are not limited to: * embedding learning and collaboration processes into work processes:frameworks and techniques for realizing workplace embedded or integrated learning, contextual collaboration processes and support, intelligent support for communities of experts and learners; * users as content consumers and producers for self-directed and organisational learning:collaborative knowledge building and sharing; tools and architectures for authoring, annotating, storing and retrieving of user generated content; aspects of quality assurance; use of Wikis, Blogs, social bookmarking tools and folksonomies; encouraging user participation; establishing self-sustained communities; * novel educational or cognitive theories for technology enhanced self-directed and organisational learning:learning theories for work-integrated and life-long learning; constraints of the application environment; experiences on applicability for different knowledge work types * semantic, cognitive, or educational models for self-directed and organisational learning:context models and modelling approaches; cognitive, educational or semantic modelling for workplace learning; model evaluation and evolution; * incorporating arbitrary types of resources for self-directed and organisational learning:metadata concepts to represent resources and different views; (re-)using resources from heterogeneous repositories; frameworks and techniques to repurpose resources; * context of creation, (re-)use, and repurposing of resources for self-directed and organisational learning: representing and visualizing content; tracking context; contextual attention metadata; matching contexts; exploiting context information (e.g., for adaptation and personalisation); * connecting content and components for self-directed and organisational learning:using (lightweight) semantic descriptions such as micro-formats to enable data exchange and interoperability; services and service-oriented architectures; mash-ups. Background In spite of the close relationship between learning and knowledge, there is still a lack of cooperation between the fields of Technology-enhanced Learning (TeL) and Knowledge Management (KM). Paradigms of work-integrated learning and collective intelligence have been suggested to bridge this gap. Technology-enhanced learning approaches develop more and more towards responsive environments that are embedded into the working process of individuals and existing organizational structures. Knowledge management approaches utilize more and more the collective intelligence of communities and seek to foster organizational learning as a result of networked knowledge. However, these new developments have generated new research challenges which are far from being solved. One set of challenges is concerned with a tighter integration of working, learning and collaboration processes at the workplace and their technological support. How can these be intelligently and flexibly supported without imposing too rigid a structure? Several types of models have been suggested to cope with these requirements. Semantic web approaches have entered the learning domain, but they have yet to find their way into knowledge work practice. Cognitive and educational models, on the other hand, have been mainly applied in educational settings and need to find their way into workplace settings. A related strand of research has shown that we have to cope with the challenge of gathering, describing, and using resources as well as context (information) about their creation and (re)use in order to drive the integration of KM and e-Learning technologies. Research has already been tackling the domain of context, for example related to context description, context matching, or context-based information delivery, but still needs a better integration into KM and e-Learning. This special track is based on the insight that KM technologies need to take into account findings from social and educational sciences, to be effective in terms of learning and that learning can profit from KM technologies. In fact, there is a gap between well organised, but monolithic and inert e-Learning material such as courseware on the one hand and dynamic and flexible public or organizational knowledge bases that are often not able to activate learning processes on the other hand. An integration of KM and e-Learning, especially by using context-based and semantic technologies, or social media technologies could dramatically change today's understanding of workplace learning towards lifelong learning fed by dynamically changing public and organizational knowledge repositories. Type of Submissions * Tools and technology descriptions * Empirical results * Case studies * Software design methods * Descriptions of technology enhanced learning methods * Proposals for and applications of standards Target Group The special track intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from relevant communities (knowledge management, technology enhanced learning, knowledge representation, information systems, personalisation, user modelling, psychology, and educational sciences, etc.) to share their knowledge, results and expertise about their research on cross-disciplinary research approaches for organizational and individual learning. In more detail, the workshop aims to discuss how suitable technologies (e.g., Web2.0, context-based methods) and designs can be used to integrate individual, community and organizational learning more efficiently and effectively. The workshop language will be English.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP REMINDER KASW'08: Submission Deadline 28 Apr "Knowledge Acquisition from the Social Web" Datum: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:10:00 +0200 Von: Markus Strohmaier <markus.strohmaier(a)tugraz.at> An: ankuendigungen-gimod(a)liste.es.e-technik.tu-darmstadt.de, orgmem(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, emisa(a)informatik.uni-hannover.de, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, fgcscw(a)uni-koblenz.de Referenzen: <47D803E9.6000608(a)tugraz.at> Call for Papers: International Workshop on “Knowledge Acquisition from the Social Web” KASW'08 --------------------------------------------------- September 3-5, Graz, AustriaC held in conjunction with the Triple-I Conference http://kmi.tugraz.at/workshop/KASW08/ --------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: April 28, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2008 Camera-ready version: June 30, 2008 Workshop: One day format, between September 3-5, 2008 OBJECTIVES This workshop aims to develop and bring together a community of researchers interested in discussing the manifold challenges and potentials of knowledge acquisition from the social web. With the advent of the “Social Web”, a new breed of web applications has enriched the social dimension of the web. On the social web, actors can be understood as social agents - technological or human entities - that collaborate, pursue goals, are autonomous, and are capable of exhibiting flexible problem solving and social behavior. By participating in the social web, both technological and human agents leave complex traces of social interactions and their motivations behind, which can be studied, analyzed and utilized for a range of different purposes. The broad availability and open accessibility of these traces in social web corpora, such as in del.icio.us, Wikipedia, weblogs and others, provides researchers with opportunities for, for example, novel knowledge acquisition techniques and strategies, as well as large scale, empirically coupled “in the field” studies of social processes and structures. This workshop aims to develop and bring together a diverse community of researchers interested in the social web by seeking submissions that are focusing on understanding and evaluating the role of agents, goals, structures, concepts, context, knowledge and social interactions in a broad range of social web applications. Examples for such applications include, but are not limited to social authoring (e.g. wikis, weblogs), social sharing (e.g. del.icio.us, flickr), social networking (Facebook, LinkedIn) and social searching (e.g. wikia, eurekster, mahalo) applications. FORMAT While the workshop is open to anyone interested in the topics of the workshop, it is the particular intention to utilize this workshop as an opportunity to gather and build a strong network of researchers with similar interests. To support this, we will put special emphasis on room for interaction and networking, and on discussing the accepted papers in detail. For that purpose, we will consider, for example, to designate significant time for discussions, provide all accepted papers on the workshop website before the event, encourage presenters to read their colleagues’ papers before the workshop takes place, and prepare questions. This aims to improve the ability of participants to relate to each others work, to communicate - and to increase the overall quality of interactions at the workshop. TOPICS OF INTEREST We encourage submissions from researchers with a variety of backgrounds, including common sense reasoning, natural language processing, data mining, automatic classification, ontology, semantic web, requirements engineering, knowledge management and information sciences. The main topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge discovery and mining on the social web - Text-extraction and understanding on the social web - Social Network Analysis on the social web - Folksonomies and Ontology learning - Multi Agent Systems and the social web - Agent-oriented modeling and engineering of social web applications - Goals and motivations on the social web - Acquiring commonsense knowledge from the social web - Trust, reputation and social interactions on the social web - Information diffusion and knowledge transfer on the social web - Evaluation of and evaluation techniques for social web applications The workshop is accepting papers (6 to 8 pages) ranging from theoretical contributions including novel methods, techniques and algorithms, rigid evaluations to empirical or analytical case studies related to the topics of interest. Work-in-progress contributions which seek advice or collaborations - or contributions which would simply seek the feedback from other workshop participants are particularly welcome. However, all contributions should exhibit a level of maturity where a) an interesting issue has already been narrowed down sufficiently and B) adequate prior work has been done (e.g. first results, an exploratory study, comprehensive analysis of related approaches, etc). In addition, we will accept demos. Demo submissions should consist of a brief description (1-4 pages) and a screenshot of the working prototype. ABOUT TRIPLE-I The TRIPLE-I Conference series is a joint venture of the conferences I-KNOW, I-MEDIA and I-SEMANTICS. TRIPLE-I reflects the increasing importance and convergence of knowledge management, new media technologies and semantic systems. This unique concept aims at bridging the gaps between the various communities and their technology fields. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: April 28, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2008 Camera-ready version: June 30, 2008 Workshop: One day format, between September 3-5, 2008 SUBMISSION All submissions (paper or demo) must be following the J.UCS format. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. For questions and comments, please contact the workshop co-chairs. Information about submitting articles will be made available on the workshop website.
