Besides building a community, the main result will be the continued development of a research agenda to guide and support researchers in the field. TOPICS OF INTEREST: Software-based systems are changing. There is increasing interest in autonomic and self-* systems that are dynamic and flexibility based on new capabilities to self-reconfigure and self-resolve anomalous situations. Currently these capabilities are delivered using services, and in particular web services, using a service-oriented approach. Web services are the natural evolution of conventional middleware technologies to support Web-based and enterprise-level integration, but the paradigm can also serve as basis for other classes of systems. For example, it can be applied to support all systems which require a high degree of flexibility and dynamism to discover available functionality at run-time and to negotiate its quality parameters dynamically. This is the case, for example, for ambient computing and automotive applications that need to cope with changing (evolving) configurations. The dynamic nature of these systems precludes the a-priori identification of the components that define the system and demands for the run-time discovery and composition of such services. To realize a service-oriented architecture we need techniques to identify and specify requirements on services in a machine-interpretable way to enable the dynamic composition and deployment of systems that meet the expectations of the different stakeholders. We need new capabilities to monitor the behaviour of deployed systems and reasoning on partial matches, deviations, and corrective actions. We need to be able to exploit the availability of services to discover new opportunities that improve existing requirements processes and techniques. And finally we need to able to configure systems from different types of services, including web services, software components and hybrid services that include human intervention. The workshop will enable communities that work on requirements and service-oriented applications to meet together and share their knowledge to set appropriate theoretical foundations, define special-purpose methodologies for requirements elicitation, and develop supporting technology. The workshop also aims at promoting research directions on requirements engineering for the class of applications that require autonomic and self-managing systems. CONTRIBUTIONS: Authors are expected to submit their position papers of approximately 5,000 words to the organizers. Submissions should be sent by email attachment (PDF format) to baresi(a)elet.polimi.it. Papers will be reviewed by the PC members. Proceedings will be available in the form of technical report during the conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Deadline approaching - Research meets practice at PoEM 2008 Datum: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:58:37 -0400 Von: Anne Persson <anne.persson(a)his.se> Antwort an: Anne Persson <anne.persson(a)his.se> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS PoEM�2008 IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on The Practice of Enterprise Modeling: from Business Strategies to Enterprise Architectures Stockholm, Sweden http://www.his.se/iki/PoEM2008 IMPORTANT DATES 30 June 2008, paper submission deadline 15 August 2008 notification of acceptance 12-13, November 2008, Conference The proceedings will be published by Springer AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Enterprise Modeling (EM) has gained substantial of popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. There is a variety of EM methods, approaches, and tools developed and offered on the market. In practice they are used for various purposes such as business strategy development, process restructuring, as well as business and IT architecture alignment and governance. PoEM�08 aims to establish a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users and practitioners. The conference program will feature paper presentations and interactive discussion sessions. More specifically the goals of the conference are: - to develop a better understanding of the practice of EM - to contribute to improved EM practice - to share knowledge among researchers and practitioners - to form a community of researcher and practitioners - to develop a research agenda on the practice of EM The conference theme is EM in different application contexts, e.g. software development, including agile development, as well as business development, governance, and change. Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: - Evaluation of EM methods from a practice perspective - The process of modeling and guidelines for modeling - Management of EM projects - Use of EM in different contexts - Facilitation and group dynamics - The competency of modelers and modeling teams - Model and process quality aspects - Reuse of enterprise models - Modeling languages - The use of EM in different contexts - Tools and workbenches - Enterprise model management - Success factors in EM - Teaching the practice - EM and agile development - Enterprise knowledge architectures - Standardization issues and reference models - Method engineering in EM - Concordance between EM and information systems development Paper types: Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practices. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. Research papers describe original research contributions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) to the area of EM. A research paper should clearly describe the situation or problem that is tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential or the evaluated benefits of the contribution. Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Idea papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging EM challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of the current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. ORGANIZERS Janis Bubenko jr., Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, General chair Anne Persson, University of Skövde, Sweden, Program committee co-chair Janis Stirna, University of Jönköping, Sweden, Program committee co-chair Lena Aggestam, University of Skövde, Sweden, Organising chair Looking forward to seeing you in Stockholm, Anne Persson and Janis Stirna Program committee chairs The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] IWSOS 2008 - Paper Submission DEADLINE EXTENDED Datum: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:24:39 -0400 Von: Ismail Khalil Ibrahim <ismail.khalil-ibrahim(a)jku.ac.at> Antwort an: Ismail Khalil Ibrahim <ismail.khalil-ibrahim(a)jku.ac.at> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Due to multiple requests, the submission deadline for IWSOS 2008 has been ** EXTENDED ** to July 10, 2008. (Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the announcement.) *************** CALL FOR PAPERS -- DEADLINE EXTENDED *************** IWSOS 2008 3rd International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems - Self-Organizing Networks and Networked Systems - December 10-12, 2008 Vienna, Austria http://iwsos.ani.univie.ac.at/ Submission deadline (full papers): ** EXTENDED ** July 10, 2008 ********************************************************************* Workshop Scope -------------- IWSOS 2008 is the third workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. For example, these networks will consist of interconnected infrastructure-based, mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as resilience and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems has recently started to systematically investigate self-organization, which has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems has to be investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by, e.g., cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like feedback control and complex system's research, are required for these networked systems in order to analyze their controllability and emergent behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems should be studied that discuss paradigms like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization for networked systems by including the following key topics (not a restricted list): * Self-organization and self-management * Self-configuration and self-optimization * Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing * Autonomic networking principles and practice * Control theory based models and approaches of self-organization * Feedback control in networked systems * Group-forming networks and techniques * Programmable and cognitive networks for self-organization * Visualization of network system state * Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society (e.g., bio-inspired or based on game theory) * Risks in self-organization and risk management techniques * The (un-)controllability of self-organizing emergent systems * Quality of Service / service level agreements and self-organization * Resilience, robustness, and fault tolerance for networked systems * Security in self-organizing networked systems * Self-* sensor and ad-hoc networks * Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks * Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering * Self-* networks and networked systems for ubiquitous computing * Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence * Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet * Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks * Self-organizing vehicular ad-hoc networks * Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services * Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks * Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network * The human in the loop of self-organizing networked systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline (full papers): ext. to July 10, 2008 * Notification of acceptance (full papers): September 1, 2008 Initial Submission (full papers) -------------------------------- IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal.
