-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] NITIAL CALL FOR PAPERS - 3RD INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT (IRWITPM 2008) Datum: Thu, 15 May 2008 10:57:49 -0400 Von: Deepak Khazanchi <khazanchi(a)unomaha.edu> Antwort an: Deepak Khazanchi <khazanchi(a)unomaha.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (AIS) SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP FOR IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT (SIGITPROJMGMT) http://www.SIGITProjMgmt.org 3RD INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT (IRWITPM) - INITIAL CALL FOR PAPERS December 12th-13th, 2008 at the American University of Paris (AUP), France (In coordination with ICIS 2007) The Special Interest Group for IT Project Management (SIGITPROJMGMT) is proud to sponsor its 3rd International Research Workshop on Information Technology Project Management. The workshop is co-sponsored and hosted by the American University of Paris. The workshop will feature research papers and one or more panels that focus on problems that cut across many traditional IS/T Project Management areas, including, but not limited to, the following topics: virtual project management, agile project management, knowledge networks, project management methodologies, distributed project management, project leadership, project quality metrics, project management standards, best practices in project management, project success, and pedagogical issues. The workshop welcomes high-quality conceptual and empirical contributions that attempt to advance theory and application of project management using any research approach (action research, experimental, grounded theory, design science, survey research, theory development, prototyping, methodology development, PM tool development, etc). All submissions to IRWITPM 2008 must represent original work that has not already been published in a journal or conference proceedings. If the work has been presented at another conference or is currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere, the authors must disclose this fact. At least one author for every accepted paper and all members of every accepted panel must register for the workshop and be prepared to present their ideas in person. Authors of accepted submissions must address the suggestions (if any) of the reviewers and submit an electronic copy of the final version of their work by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in withdrawal of this work from further consideration and it will not be included on the final program. All final papers will be published in the form of e-proceedings available via the AIS eLibrary. Submissions may be of three types: � Completed research papers, � Research-in-progress papers, and � Panel proposals. COMPLETED RESEARCH PAPERS As in the past two years, we expect to provide IRWITPM 2008 authors presenting at this workshop the opportunity to publish their work in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal. In the past selected completed research papers presented at the workshop have been automatically considered for fast track publication in special issues of the e-Service Journal and the International Journal of Project Management. Authors who do not want to be considered for the special issue should indicate so at the time of submitting their final revision. Authors may be asked to further revise their manuscript subsequent to presentation to address workshop comments, editorial reviews, and any additional requirements of the selected journal. RESEARCH-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS (RIP) Submissions should include a one-page abstract and a paper that includes the following sections: research objectives and questions, theoretical foundations, research methodology, current status of the project, and a description of what the authors propose to present at the conference. PANEL PROPOSALS Panel proposals should include a general description of the panel, names and affiliations of all panel participants, a statement to the effect that all participants have made a commitment to serve on the panel (if it is accepted), a brief description of each participant's background and expertise related to the panel topic, and a brief description of each participant's views on the topic. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: September 15th, 2008 Notification of Decision: October 15th, 2008 Revised Manuscripts Deadline: November 1st, 2008 Registration Deadline: November 15th, 2008 WORKSHOP FORMAT AND VENUE The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting on Saturday, December 13th, in Paris, France, prior to the start of ICIS 2008. Participants should plan on arriving the night before for an early start to the meeting. There will be a single track to maximize interaction and participation. Workshop participants will be charged a registration fee that will include lunch and coffee breaks (details will be announced as the conference program is finalized). Additionally, we are considering having a networking dinner reception before the workshop on December 12th hosted at the American University of Paris (AUP) campus. SUBMISSION INFORMATION For completed paper and research-in-progress submissions, authors should identify themselves and provide contact information only on the cover page, as these submissions will be blind reviewed. The second page of the paper should consist of an abstract plus a list of key words describing the main topics of the manuscript (the MISQ keyword list is recommended for use). Papers and panel proposals should be double-spaced to facilitate editing. The manuscript or proposal and any supporting documentation (such as survey instruments) should be sent as e-mail attachments (in MSWord format) to IRWITPM Conference Chair and SIGITProjMgmt Founder, Dr. Deepak Khazanchi at irwitpm(a)sigitpm.org. In your email, please clearly identify your paper as research-in-progress (RIP) or completed paper.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: International Workshop on Dynamic and Declarative Business Processes (DDBP 2008) Datum: Wed, 14 May 2008 11:59:54 -0600 Von: Dragan Gasevic <dgasevic(a)acm.org> Antwort an: Dragan Gasevic <dgasevic(a)acm.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> (Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.) *********************************************************************** *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** First International Workshop on Dynamic and Declarative Business *** Processes (DDBP 2008) *** *** In conjuction with the 12th IEEE International EDOC Conference *** (EDOC 2008), September 2008, München, Germany *** *** www.leduotang.com/sylvain/ddbp2008 *** ***The selected best research papers will be considered for ***special issues in top notch journals. Further details will be ***announced soon. *********************************************************************** WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Enterprises face the challenge of rapidly adapting to dynamic business environments. The traditional approach to process management is only partially appropriate to this new context, and calls for the advent of new, dynamic business processes. This new approach attempts to address specific issues related to flexibility and adaptation: design of easily adaptable processes, dynamic handling of unexpected situations, optimality of adaptations. Central to the field of dynamic business processes is the notion of requirement, which make dynamic business process particularly suited to a declarative approach to their modelling and design. The declarative approach to dynamic business processes raises a number of challenges: extracting declarative specifications from domain experts, expressing these declarative specifications in an appropriate language or formalism, as well as designing, monitoring, checking compliance or dynamically adapting business processes according to a set of requirements. Dynamic and declarative business processes have proved their use in a wide number of domains, and are expected to impact existing and future technology choices, business practices and standardization efforts. This workshop will be an opportunity for participants to exchange opinions, advance ideas, and discuss preliminary results on current topics related to dynamic and declarative business processes. A particular interest will be taken in bridging theoretical research and practical issues. To this end, contributions stating open problems, case studies, tool presentations, or any other work assessing the practical significance of dynamic and declarative business processes by means of concrete examples and situations, will be particularly welcome. Work in progress, position papers stating broad avenues of research, and work on formal foundations of dynamic and declarative business processes are also sought-after. TOPICS Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: - Dynamic business process modelling - Implementation issues for dynamic processes - Tools for dynamic processes - Use cases of dynamic processes - Business and technical requirements for dynamic processes - Declarative model specification - Mathematical foundations of declarative business processes - Formal models of declarative business processes - Monitoring of declarative business processes - Validation of declarative business processes - Tools for declarative business processes SUBMISSION The workshop duration is one day. It will comprise presentations of accepted papers, tool presentations, and keynotes. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Submissions should be 4 to 8 pages long and must use the two-column format of IEEE conference proceedings and include the author's name, affiliation, and contact details. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair. Authors will be notified about the decision by the program committee by the 18th of July 2008. At least one author of each accepted paper must participate in the workshop. The papers accepted for the EDOC 2008 Workshops will be published after the workshop with their own ISBN in the IEEE Digital Library, which is accessible by IEEE Xplore. At least one of the authors for each accepted paper should register for the main conference in order to present their papers.

Smadi <msmadi(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at> * ** Apologies for Cross Postings *** *-------------------------------------------------------------------------------* * CALL FOR PAPERS * * 1st Special Track on ** Computer-based Knowledge & Skill Assessment* * and Feedback in Learning Settings (CAF 2008)* * Villach, Austria**, **September 25, 2008** ** http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008* * In conjunction with ** 11th International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL 2008)* *-------------------------------------------------------------------------------* *CAF 2008 - 25. September 2008 - Villach, Austria* *First Special Track on /Computer-based Knowledge & Skill Assessment and Feedback in Learning Settings (CAF)/* Online Information: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008 This CfP is also available as PDF: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008/CAF2008-CfP.pdf This special track will take place during ICL 2008 in Villach, Austria (24-26 September 2008) as a special program item. /The Special Track CAF 2008/ provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of computer-based knowledge & skill assessment in learning settings and based on that feedback provision for students and teachers. The /International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL)/ is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in interactive computer aided learning. *Background* Our modern life at the beginning of the 21st century is strongly influenced by effects such as rapidly changing and developing information, technology-enhanced communication and information access, and new forms of production and services in a globalized world. This situation requires individuals to adapt their skills and competencies. Consequently, educational objectives and societal expectations have changed significantly in recent years. Modern learning settings must consider learning community aspects as well as learner-centered, knowledge-centered and assessment-centered aspects. By focusing on the assessment, this concept can be further distinguished in (1) summative assessment, performed at the end of a set of learning activities, and (2) formative assessment, which is intended to give continuous feedback to students and teachers. The latter mentioned formative assessment gives information about the current state of knowledge and/or the degree of knowledge acquisition within learning activities. Assessment is an important component of modern teaching and learning processes in face-to-face courses as well as in e-learning environments; it provides valuable feedback to teachers and students which allows the revision and adaptation of teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, assessment activities and results can also be utilized for building and strengthening metacognitive skills. However, continuous and frequent assessment in learning processes may cause excessive efforts and costs. Therefore, computer-assisted assessment systems (CaAS) and computer-based assessment systems (CbAS) have become of increasing interest over the years. Assessment systems may support parts or the entire chain of the assessment lifecycle. This lifecycle includes authoring and management of assessment items, compilation of specific tests, performance of assessments, and compilation and management results. Additionally, emerging interest in the sharing and re-use of assessment items or compiled assessment tests and the exchangeability of assessment outcomes has resulted in standardization efforts, such as the IMS Question & Test Interoperability Specification (IMS QTI). 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. We invite submissions that deal with issues including, but not limited to: * Aspects of formative and summative assessment * History and challenges of e-assessment * Computer-supported assessment rubric * Computer-based knowledge & skill assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported peer assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported self-assessment and group assessment * Computer-based student and teacher feedback about knowledge state and acquisition * Computer-based assessment in adaptive e-learning * Web 2.0 and assessment & feedback for individual and group learning * Automated essay grading * Natural short answer assessment * Assessment and feedback in computer-based simulations * Assessment and feedback in game-based learning settings * Test & training data and evaluation procedures * Reuse, Interoperability and Standardization * Security and Privacy *Important Dates* * 30 June 2008: Submission of the full papers (8 pages) * 31 July 2008: Notification of acceptance * 31 Aug. 2008: Camera ready version (8 pages) * 24.-26.

To leverage synergies among these streams, the ExpertFinder initiative started in 2006 (http://rdfweb.org/topic/ExpertFinder) with the aim of devising vocabularies, rule extensions (for e.g. FOAF and SIOC) and best practices to annotate and extract expertise-relevant information from personal and organizational web pages, blogs, wikis, conferences, publication indexes, etc. Following two previous workshops - EFW (http://www.expertfinder.info/efw2007) and FEWS (http://www.expertfinder.info/fews2007) - we solicit new research contributions from the Semantic Web community towards the tasks of formally representing and reusing knowledge of skills and collaborations on the Web and consequently finding people according to their expertise. The goal of PICKME2008 is to discuss: * the feasibility of a Web-scale infrastructure for the creation, publication and use of semantic descriptions of experts and their collaborations on the Web, * concrete application scenarios such as group management, disaster response, recruitment, team building, problem solving and on-the-fly consultation (Such scenarios can be found at http://rdfweb.org/topic/ExpertFinderUseCases), * enabling technologies such as annotation, knowledge extraction, ontology engineering, reasoning, ontology mediation, social network and interaction analysis. Topics of Interest ================= We welcome all research contributions that contribute to one or more of the following topics: * Specification of vocabularies and reuse of existing standards/taxonomies to describe experts to capture knowledge about people, their expertise and collaborations with other people, * Extraction of descriptions of persons and collaborations from loosely structured data (e.g. Web pages) and databases, * Use of microformats to express and extract knowledge about persons and collaborations, * International & cross-organizational heterogeneity issues in personal descriptions, * Algorithms for expert & expertise finding and recommendation (e.g. mining of social networks), * Expressivity extensions (in logics, rules) to support expertise extraction from knowledge about collaborations, * Tools for the intuitive creation and maintenance of personal and organizational descriptions and associated rules, * Web infrastructures for the publication and sharing of personal and organizational descriptions (storage, access, querying, rule execution, coordination, communication), * Extension of collaborative tools, e.g. blogs and wikis, to capture knowledge about persons and collaborations, * Security, trust and privacy aspects of expert & expertise finding, and * Deployment of these areas in business scenarios and requirements for the industrial uptake of these applications. Event Information ================= The workshop will take place during the 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008). For every accepted paper at least one of the authors must attend the workshop and must register for the workshop and the main conference. Submission Information ====================== We invite submissions of full papers no longer than 12 pages or position papers no longer than 2 pages (both including figures, references and appendices).
