Diesem Industrialisierungsprozess zuzuordnen ist die zunehmende Verwendung der zahlreichen (technischen) Prinzipien wie Produktstandardisierung, Plattformstrategie, Dekomposition und Verringerung der Fertigungstiefe, Mass Customization, Wiederverwendung u. v. m. Zum Anderen bilden aber auch oekonomische und organisatorische Prinzipien wie zunehmende Spezialisierung und Arbeitsteilung, datenbasierte Entscheidungsfindung, quantitatives Prozessmanagement sowie Prozessstandardisierung die wesentliche Grundlage einer reifen Industrie. Die Industrialisierung der Softwareentwicklung schafft neue Aufgaben, Herausforderungen, Verbesserungspotentiale und Anforderungen fuer das Software-Management in Praxis und Wissenschaft. Ihnen widmet sich die diesjaehrige Fachtagung Software-Management 2008. Die beiden Leitfragen sind dabei: Wie muss das Software-Management auf die o. g. industriellen Rahmenbedingungen reagieren und wie kann das Software-Management die diversen o. g. industriellen Prinzipien selber zielfuehrend adaptieren? Die Fachtagung Software-Management ist das Forum fuer Fachleute, die sich mit dieser Thematik in Praxis und Wissenschaft befassen.

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ====================================================== Use In Context Between adaptivity and adaptation in context-based interactions Workshop at the Informatik 2008 September 12, 2008 Munich, Bavaria, Germany http://kalu.fernuni-hagen.de/Informatik2008/ Submission deadline: April 28, 2008 ======================================================= Context-based systems slowly emerge from research settings to usage practice. Consequently, next to questions dealing with the technological feasibility, questions dealing with the manageability and transparency of context-based services from a user perspective come to the fore. In particular, ubiquitous computing applications help bridging between virtual and real-world context dimensions (both, concerning virtual and real context sensors and virtual and real context factors). The resulting system often remains intransparent to users, it is not immediately accessible recurring on conventionalized behavioural practices. This workshop aims to contribute on the one hand to the collection of use-oriented problems in context-based interaction. Furthermore, we aim to discuss resulting implications regarding the technical design of interfaces as well as soft- and hardware architectures. Special attention is given to context modeling and implementation of the various application scenarios as well as to the associated possibilities of manual (adaptability) or automatic (adaptivity) in-use-adjustment. A further special area of interest within a user-oriented perspective is the understanding of problem dynamics in scenarios with multiple-context systems and –technologies, and problem dynamics of emergence or evolution of context-based systems. We would like to invite in particular researchers and practitioners to contributions dealing with the following questions: - What practical experiences – positive as well as negative – have been made with regard to the usage of context-based systems in real organizational settings? What experiences have been made with adaptation mechanisms (automatic as well as interactive) of such systems in these settings? - How can relations between context descriptions/models, context sensors and context-based services become describable in a way that they can be inform end users? What framing conditions apply for interfaces that aim to achieve this? - What experiences have been collected with ontologies and folksonomies? How can systems be designed more practice-oriented? - How can context architectures be effectively designed for sustainable usages (Context evolution, context adaptation, traceability for end-users)? - How do architectures look like that are appropriate for the realization of context-adaptive systems that remain modifyable in-use? What services have to be provided by such a context-adaptive system? What interfaces are needed for a context-dependent adaptation of the system behavior? The contributions should derive out of various application areas, such as - Context-based Information Retrieval - Location-based Services - Mixed-Media Environments - Tagging Systems, other Semantic Web Applications - Mobility Services - Knowledge Management and Knowledge Media Creation - Community Applications We request for contributions to those topics in relation to research as well as practice. Guidelines for papers ===================== The papers should not exceed six pages. They may be written in German or English language (English preferred). Accepted papers will be published in the workshop volume of the Informatik 2008. The guidelines of the GI (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/gi-edition-lecture-notes-in-infor…) for authors have to be considered and all papers have to be handed in via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=informatik2008ws). Selected papers may be considered for a book publication.

Wünschenswerte Systeme? Workshop auf der GI-Jahrestagung Informatik 2008 'Beherrschbare Systeme - dank Informatik' PDF-Version unter http://www.ak-edemokratie.de/ HTML-Version unter http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~aggrimm/events/38gitag/ Organisatoren und Kontakt: Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Grimm, Universität Koblenz-Landau Jörg Helbach, Köln Prof. Dr. Peter Mambrey, Fraunhofer FIT / Univ. Duisburg-Essen Prof. Dr. Volkmar Pipek, Universität Siegen und IISI, Bonn * Einreichung von Workshop-Beiträgen: 28.04.2008 * Mitteilung über Annahme/Ablehnung: 02.06.2008 * Abgabe der fertigen Druckvorlagen: 01.07.2008 In den modernen Gesellschaften werden – dank Informatik – neue Dienstleistungen, Infrastrukturen, Prozesse und Institutionen entwickelt und eingesetzt, die die bisherigen politischen Handlungschancen der Bürger erweitern sollen. Politik und Verwaltung erhalten mehr Mittel, politische und soziale Meinungen und Aktionen der Bürger wahrzunehmen und darauf zu reagieren. Transparenz, öffentlicher Diskurs, Partizipation, Deliberation aber auch Kosteneffizienz sind einige politische Schlagworte, die das Leitbild des aktiven Bürgers in einer Zivilgesellschaft konkretisieren. Es gibt dazu eine Vielzahl von medialen Formaten, die diese Ziele unterstützen sollen: elektronische Wahlen, Bürgerportale, eCampaigning, medienübergreifende Bürgerhaushalte, ePetition etc. So rücken auch elektronische Wahlen immer mehr in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Zwar ist der Einsatz von Wahlgeräten seit mehreren Jahren in Deutschland gesetzlich geregelt und diese Geräte wurden auch bereits bei vielen Wahlen eingesetzt, doch in letzter Zeit sind sie vermehrt in Kritik geraten. Auch alternative Wahlformen, wie z.B. der Wahlstift, geraten mehr und mehr in die Kritik. Ein Einsatz von Online- Wahlsystemen über das Internet ist bei parlamentarischen Wahlen derzeit völlig utopisch. Dennoch wurden in den letzten Jahren viele Erfahrungen insbesondere im Bereich der Online-Wahlen gewonnen. Eine Reihe internationaler Projekte (Österreich, Schweiz, Estland) und Initiativen (Europarat) entwickeln Anforderungen und sammeln Erfahrungen mit Lösungen. Dafür ist eine kritische wissenschaftliche Begleitung sinnvoll. Diese Dienste, Formate und Systeme bilden das Kernstück einer sich entwickelnden neuen sozio-technischen Beteiligungsinfrastruktur demokratischer Gesellschaften, einer „Societyware“. Sie zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie für alle Individuen und Gruppen einer Gesellschaft relevant werden können, und damit – dem demokratischen Grundverständnis folgend – durch diese auch verstehbar, benutzbar und gestaltbar sein sollten. Technische Komplexität, Macht- und Marktstrukturen in der IT-Gestaltung stellen diesen Anspruch vor große Herausforderungen. In diesem Workshop geht es darum, entsprechende Erfahrungen mit der „Erwünschtheit“ und „Beherrschbarkeit“ solcher Systeme zusammenzutragen. Uns interessieren: Beiträge über: * Erfahrungen * Anforderungen (technische, politische organisatorische, soziale) * Probleme beim Einsatz und der Nutzung * Betriebswirtschaftliche Aspekte * Sicherheitsaspekte, technische Konzepte * Akzeptanz, Usablility und demokratische Gestaltung Zu Anwendungen wie: * elektronische Wahlen, * kommunale Webportale, Stadt-Wikis * Bürgerportale, Bürgerhaushalte * eCampainging, ePetition * computer-unterstützte Partizipation in der Planung, Online Deliberation * politische Chatbots, Teilnehmer des Workshops Der Workshop spricht Wissenschaft und Praxis an. Er richtet sich an Wissenschaftler (Doktoranden, young and senior researchers) aus Informatik, Politik-, Gesellschafts- und Rechtswissenschaften, an Verantwortliche aus Politik und Verwaltung, Aktivisten einer Civil Society und an IT-Firmen, die sich mit dem Einsatz von IuKT in der Praxis beschäftigen. Regeln und Termine zur Einreichung Die Beiträge sollten sechs Seiten nicht überschreiten. Akzeptierte Beiträge werden in den Springer Lecture Notes on Informatics veröffentlicht.
