[Fwd: [isworld] CFP -- FINDING THE REAL-WORLD VALUE IN VIRTUAL WORLDS: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES]
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP -- FINDING THE REAL-WORLD VALUE IN VIRTUAL WORLDS: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES Datum: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:28:00 +0800 Von: San Murugesan <san.muruges(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: San Murugesan <san.muruges(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> REMINDER Call for Papers FINDING THE REAL-WORLD VALUE IN VIRTUAL WORLDS: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES Cutter IT Journal San Murugesan, Guest Editor Abstract Due: 20 June 2008 Articles Due: 31 July 2008 Virtual worlds are a hot topic now, thanks to the increased computing and graphic capabilities of personal computers, high-speed Internet access, and intense corporate interest in exploring and exploiting these worlds. These 3D, interactive Web environments are said to deliver an immersive experience that is much richer than what we currently experience with the traditional Web. So is the Web poised for its next major evolution? According to the Association of Virtual Worlds, the answer is yes: "Virtual worlds represent a major information and technological revolution in how we work, play, and live." It's true that virtual worlds are emerging as communal places for a wide range of activities, including gaming, social networking, education and training, marketing, and e-business. Major businesses and large marketers have been using virtual worlds in innovative ways to appeal to the hard-to-reach young consumers of the digital generation, who spend much of their time using computers and mobile phones. The growing presence of virtual worlds, including those specifically targeted at kids and teens, has been drawing much attention from the media, the public, business, and government. As virtual worlds now begin to move from the fringe to the mainstream, there is considerable excitement and hype surrounding the movement. A key question is: what real value do virtual worlds present to users and businesses? While the value may be obvious to some, there are several issues associated with virtual worlds that cause varying degrees of anxiety among stakeholders. These concerns -- which range from the technical (e.g., security) to the moral and legal -- limit the potential of virtual worlds and hinder their adoption. Nevertheless, some argue, virtual worlds are here to stay. Indeed more people -- from kids to teens to young adults -- are spending an increasing amount of time in virtual worlds engaging in a variety of activities that interest them, including playing games, communicating with a group of friends, creating virtual artifacts, studying, undergoing training, renting or purchasing land or buildings, buying virtual artifacts, and/or establishing their businesses. According to some estimates, multibillion-dollar opportunities might be there for the taking in the virtual-world arena. Therefore, IT and non-IT businesses, IT professionals, business executives, and entrepreneurs shouldn't dismiss virtual worlds as simply another platform for online games targeted at young people. Instead, they should examine and explore how they can exploit virtual worlds and seize the opportunities these immersive environments present. IT departments in many enterprises are now being asked to explore how their organizations can embrace virtual worlds and create, deploy, regulate, and monitor these virtual-world applications. Corporations and venture capitalists are eager to invest in promising virtual-world technologies and services. Major IT companies, startups, public relation companies, marketers, consultancies, educational institutions, and individuals are all trying to get a slice of the seemingly vast business potential that virtual worlds offer. Several IT companies have begun developing virtual-world applications, tools, and platforms. The SEPTEMBER 2008 ISSUE OF CUTTER IT JOURNAL will explore this new space in cyberspace. We will examine virtual worlds in terms of market opportunities, strategic approaches, technological options, and the value and impact virtual worlds will have in real world today and in the future. (Cutter Consortium will offer Journal authors a year's complimentary subscription and 10 copies of the issue in which they are published.) TOPICS OF INTEREST MAY INCLUDE (but are not limited to) the following: * Will virtual worlds truly be another breakthrough technology that affects our personal, social, and professional lives, or will they be the next bubble to burst? * What value do virtual worlds provide? Why do virtual worlds draw so much interest not only from users, but also from businesses, educational institutions, and governments? * How are virtual worlds currently being used? What is their real potential? * What opportunities do virtual worlds present to IT (and non-IT) businesses and professionals, and how can we exploit those opportunities? * What technologies support virtual worlds? What are suitable IT architectures for large virtual worlds? * Consider the key issues and challenges that virtual worlds present (privacy, security, identity management, taxation, etc.). How can we address them? * What are the ongoing developments in this area, and what does the future hold for virtual worlds? Can virtual worlds give rise to a new set of applications? * Will there be a much bigger revolution of business ideas and processes with the emergence of immersive 3D Web environments? * How can the performance and usability of virtual worlds be improved? What virtual development strategy would you follow? Given the concerns about the poor reliability and performance of some virtual worlds, how can you test and evaluate a virtual-world application before deployment? * What will be the economic and social impact of existing and emerging virtual worlds? Does one's behavior and experience in a virtual world affect one's real-world life? * What have we learned so far by analyzing the successes and failures in this space? What are the success factors? * How can IT help in protecting privacy and intellectual property in virtual worlds? * Is virtual commerce (v-commerce) viable? TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE IDEA Please respond to San Murugesan, san1[at]internode[dot]net, with a copy to itjournal[at]cutter[dot]com, by 20 June 2008. Include an extended abstract and a short article outline showing major discussion points. ARTICLE DEADLINE Accepted articles are due by 31 July 2008. EDITORIAL GUIDELINES Most Cutter IT Journal articles are approximately 2,500-3,500 words long, plus whatever graphics are appropriate. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact CITJ's Group Publisher, Christine Generali, at cgenerali[at]cutter[dot]com or the Guest Editor, san1[at]internode[dot]net. Editorial guidelines are available at AUDIENCE Typical readers of Cutter IT Journal range from CIOs and vice presidents of software organizations to IT managers, directors, project leaders, and very senior technical staff. Most work in fairly large organizations: Fortune 500 IT shops, large computer vendors (IBM, HP, etc.), and government agencies. 48% of our readership is outside of the US (15% from Canada, 14% Europe, 5% Australia/NZ, 14% elsewhere). Please avoid introductory-level, tutorial coverage of a topic. Assume you're writing for someone who has been in the industry for 10 to 20 years, is very busy, and very impatient. Assume he or she will be asking, "What's the point? What do I do with this information?" Apply the "So what?" test to everything you write. PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES We are pleased to offer Journal authors a year's complimentary subscription and 10 copies of the issue in which they are published. In addition, we occasionally pull excerpts, along with the author's bio, to include in our weekly Cutter Edge e-mail bulletin, which reaches another 8,000 readers. We'd also be pleased to quote you, or passages from your article, in Cutter press releases. If you plan to be speaking at industry conferences, we can arrange to make copies of your article or the entire issue available for attendees of those speaking engagements -- furthering your own promotional efforts. ABOUT CUTTER IT JOURNAL No other journal brings together so many cutting-edge thinkers, and lets them speak so bluntly and frankly. We strive to maintain the Journal's reputation as the "Harvard Business Review of IT." Our goal is to present well-grounded opinion (based on real, accountable experiences), research, and animated debate about each topic the Journal explores.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Second Call for Papers: Special Session on Compact Computer Algebra at ACA 2008, RISC, Austria Datum: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:27:07 -0500 Von: Smirnova, Elena <e-smirnova(a)ti.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> (We apologize if you receive multiple copies) /-------------------------------------------\ Special Session on Compact Computer Algebra http://www.orcca.on.ca/conferences/cca2008 @ Applications for Computer Algebra (ACA 2008) July 27-30, 2008. RISC, Linz, Austria Second Call for papers and Software Demos \-------------------------------------------/ A few decades ago, minimizing resource use was a crucial factor in the development of any computer algebra software. Many successful systems were born under these conditions, including CAMAL, Maple, Derive and Macaulay as examples. Since then, hardware improvements have pushed the concern of base resource requirements into the background: the user interfaces to modern systems typically require more resources to launch than the algebra engine, and algorithm implementation often focuses on the complexity to solve very large problems. The art of compact computer algebra is becoming again increasingly important. New directions for symbolic computing include the migration from workstations to handheld devices and the changing role from standalone applications to lightweight services within integrated systems. Whether running on a graphing calculator or as support of a client-side web application, certain applications of computer algebra require compact data representation, space-efficient algorithms and effective memory management. Session Scope ------------- The purpose of this session is to communicate efforts in research, design, development and application of compact computer algebra. We invite contributions in all aspects of this area, including, but not limited to * math education tools (eg. Derive, TI-Nspire, Class-Pad, HP 50g), * portable and Internet-accessible symbolic calculators (eg. Mate), * CAS for personal digital assistants (eg. AsirPad, MobileCAS). * "spell checkers" for math content in document processing software * validators for online and offline mathematical recognizers * backend engines to pen-computing interfaces * math editing components for 2D expression Invited Speakers ---------------- ** David R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: ONTOLOGY-BASED INFORMATION EXTRACTION SYSTEMS (OBIES 2008) Datum: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:27:12 +0200 Von: Stefan Zinsmeister <zinsmeis(a)dfki.uni-kl.de> Antwort an: Stefan Zinsmeister <zinsmeis(a)dfki.uni-kl.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement ** ** Please forward to anyone who might be interested ** CALL FOR PAPERS for the 1st International and KI-08 Workshop on ONTOLOGY-BASED INFORMATION EXTRACTION SYSTEMS (OBIES 2008) 23 September 2008, Kaiserslautern (Germany) http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~adrian/workshops/obies2008 ** Extended Paper submission deadline: June 22, 2008 ** OBJECTIVES More and more information extraction (IE) systems use ontologies for extraction tasks. These systems use knowledge representation techniques for extracting information from lesser structured domains more efficiently. The advantages of these procedures are especially an increase of quality in IE-templates, reusability, and maintainability. Ontologies in IE may provide new techniques for supporting open tasks of semantic analyses regarding for instance temporal analyses, resolution of contradiction, or context awareness. There are several open research topics about ontology-based information extraction, for instance a proven architecture, evaluation guidelines regarding the use of ontologies, or ontologies vs. templates. GOALS AND AUDIENCE The workshop will be of major interest to researchers working on information extraction, language technology and ontologies. Furthermore, we expect that it will attract people working on semantic web, question answering and other related fields. TOPICS OF INTEREST Suggested topics for contributions: * Ontologies in templates, question answering, annotated corpora or grammars * Instance resolution (unification, disambiguation, and recommendation) * Relation resolution (extraction, recommendation, inference, and validation) * Using uncertainty in extraction tasks * Evaluation and comparison of OBIE systems (corpora, metrics, etc.) * OBIE as ontology population from texts * Ontology-based text annotation as inverse of OBIE * Using context models for improving IE performance (query, time, user, etc.) * RDF/OWL as knowledge representation formalism for NLP * Integration of linguistic annotations and domain ontologies SUBMISSIONS AND STYLE Workshop submissions will be electronic, in pdf format only. Please follow this link to EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=obies2008. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 8 pages in Springer LNCS format. Please consult us, if this appears to be a problem. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the contribution in order to be published in the workshop proceedings. The OBIES 2008 organizers intend to publish workshop papers online at http://CEUR-WS.org. Those wishing to participate by providing a live system demonstration or presenting an extended abstract or position paper should submit a poster about 4 pages.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: International Workshop on Dynamic and Declarative Business Processes (DDBP 2008) Datum: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:17:49 -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> Referenzen: <c73fb4880805141059h7a99a37p29a61b68f3789167(a)mail.gmail.com> (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. *********************************************************************** [Submission of papers is still Open. Should you require any extension for submitting your paper, please contact the workshop organizers as soon as possible] 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for papers -- IJIEM - Special Issue on Healthcare Information Systems Datum: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 06:25:00 +1000 Von: Simon Poon <s.poon(a)usyd.edu.au> Antwort an: Simon Poon <s.poon(a)usyd.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> International Journal of Internet and Enterprise Management (IJIEM) Call for Papers Special Issue on Healthcare Information Systems: Understanding ICT Innovations in Healthcare through Diverse Perspectives ICT innovations are rapidly emerging to support various functions in the healthcare industries with the view that ICT in healthcare has the potential to bridge inequity in healthcare access, as well as improve the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare provisions. This special issue will solicit quality research papers that draw from multiple related disciplines, including IS, to address the enabling role of ICT in the healthcare domain (attached CFP flyer for more details). Papers must address the following issues: (1) The effects of ICT on disparities in healthcare: equity, efficiency and effectiveness (2) Sustainability of ICT systems in healthcare organizations (3) Organizational innovations of ICT use in healthcare (4) Others (This includes research undertaken in interesting or unusual healthcare contexts, particularly those experiencing persistent healthcare issues. Innovative healthcare solutions which have not been previously studied would also be of great interests. Experiences of novel research approaches specifically suited to addressing these difficult issues will also be solicited.) We welcome systematic review works that integrate the different disciplines relevant to HIS studies which would help us focus future HIS research directions as well as research methodologies in this vast area. Whilst studies with strong theoretical underpinnings will be viewed favourably, we would also welcome strong conceptual papers with potentially high theoretical and practical implications, which address important persistent problems in healthcare. Important Dates: Submission of papers: 31 August, 2008 Notification of acceptance: 31 October, 2008 Publication schedule: March 2009 Detailed information can be found at: http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~spoon/CFP/IJIEM-Specialissue-HeatlhcareICT.ht m Submission Instructions: Papers must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A standard double-blind review process will be used to select papers for the special issue. The submitted manuscripts should follow the instructions as outlined in the Author Portal found on the IJIEM Website (see URL below). Electronic submission in PDF format is required.

The Journal is a high quality refereed journal that seeks support from academicians, industry experts and specific government agencies. The JIPS focuses on publishing articles that address the paradoxical nature of privacy versus security amidst current global conditions. It is increasingly important that various constituents of information begin to understand their role in finding solutions to achieve a delicate balance between security and privacy. The JIPS will facilitate understanding of the information assurance technical framework as it pertains to government agencies, companies and individuals. The topics may include the information privacy and security issues pertaining to initiatives on counter-terrorism efforts around the world, the impact of U.S. federal regulation and compliance issues facing global corporations, the impact of privacy and security initiatives within small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and e-gambling. Article submissions are encouraged from both academics and practitioners. Each issue will include high quality articles from academics and practitioners, case studies, book reviews, and industry interviews. The Journal addresses issues of privacy and security from a global perspective and will consider articles with a cross-functional focus. The Journal will include articles in the following areas: - Information Assurance frameworks - Network security and impact on corporate infrastructure - Privacy laws and impact on information compliance issues - The duality of privacy and security and impact on corporate operations - Governmental regulations and changes on information security requirements - Data transfer issues across nations, states, and corporations - Privacy and security requirements in B2B and B2C information flows - Cross-functional aspects of information assurance and requirements faced by various business functions within companies - Web sites, portals and the issue of trust - Information privacy and security as it relates to end-users - Applications and case studies in privacy and security issues facing business organizations, government agencies and individuals - Emerging topics such as biometrics, software utilities, and IT obligations and how they change the business environment Review Process Each article will be blind-reviewed by three members of the editorial review board. Reviewer recommendation will be considered by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. For a revision and rewrite, a revised paper will be sent to one of the Editors for final approval. The final decision will be made by the Editor-in-Chief.
