Thanks for your understanding. ************ Call for papers: Third Annual Workshop on Information Security and Privacy (WISP 2008) Paris, France December 13, 2008 Information security and privacy continue to be ranked in the top ten of CIO concerns (Luftman & Kempaiah, MISQ-e, 2008). Data breaches and identity theft are reported almost daily in the media. Firms struggle to find efficient and effective ways to prevent breaches while enabling e-commerce. Regulators increasingly warn against the encroachment of surveillance technologies on contemporary society. Issues of identity and meaning in social networks occupies large numbers of Facebook and Myspace �friends.� Transnational organisations seek ways to simultaneously manage risk while addressing the vagaries of multiple compliance regimes. These are just some of the complex issues with which privacy and security researchers concern themselves. Scholars, practitioners and doctoral students interested in information security and privacy issues are invited to submit their research to the third annual Workshop on Information Security and Privacy (WISP 2008). WISP 2008 will be held Saturday , December 13, 2008 in Paris, France. The workshop is sponsored by the AIS Special Interest Group on Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] I-USED 2008: approaching submission deadline on 20 July Datum: Wed, 2 Jul 2008 13:05:52 +0200 Von: Silvia Abrahao <sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es> Antwort an: Silvia Abrahao <sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on the Interplay between Usability Evaluation and Software Development (I-USED 2008) (Pisa, Italy, September 24th, 2008) http://www.dsic.upv.es/workshops/i-used In conjunction with the 2nd Conference on Human-Centred Software Engineering (HCSE 2008) Pisa, Italy, September 25-26, 2008. MOTIVATION Software development is highly challenging. Despite many significant successes, several software development projects fail completely or produce software with serious limitations, including (1) lack of usefulness, i.e. the system does not adequately support the core tasks of the user, (2) unsuitable designs of user interactions and interfaces, (3) lack of productivity gains or even reduced productivity despite heavy investments in information. Broadly speaking, two approaches have been taken to address these limitations. The first approach is to employ evaluation activities in a software development project in order to determine and improve the usability of the software, i.e. the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which users achieve their goals. To help software developersí work with usability within this approach, more than 20 years of research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has created and compared techniques for evaluating usability. The second approach is based on the significant advances in techniques and methodologies for user interface design that have been achieved in the last decades. In particular, researchers in user interface design have worked on improving the usefulness of information technology by focusing on a deeper understanding on how to extract and understand user needs. Their results today constitute the areas of participatory design and user-centered design. In addition, the Software Engineering (SE) community has recognized that usability does not only affect the design of user interfaces but the software system development as a whole. In particular, efforts are focused on explaining the implications of usability for requirements gathering, software architecture design, and the selection of software components. However, the interplay between these two fields, and between the activities they advocate to be undertaken in software development, have been limited. Integrating usability evaluation at relevant points in software development (and in particular to the user interface design) with successful and to-the-point results has proved difficult. In addition, research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Software Engineering (SE) has been done mainly independently of each other with no in substantial exchange of results and sparse efforts to combine the techniques of the two approaches. Larry Constantine, a prominent software development researcher, and his colleagues express it this way: ìIntegrating usability into the software development process is not easy or obviousî (Juristo et al. 2001, p. 21). THEME AND GOALS The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the HCI and SE fields to determine the state-of-the-art in the interplay between usability evaluation and software development and to generate ideas for new and improved relations between these activities. The aim is to base the determination of the current state on empirical studies. Presentations of new ideas on how to improve the interplay between HCI & SE to the design of usable software systems should also be based on empirical studies. Within this focus, topics of discussion include, but are not limited to: - Which artifacts of software development are useful as the basis for usability evaluations? - How do the specific artifacts obtained during software development influence the techniques that are relevant for the usability evaluation? - In which forms are the results of usability evaluations supplied back into software development (including the UI design)? - What are the characteristics of usability evaluation results that are needed in software development? - Do existing usability evaluation methods deliver the results that are needed in user interface design? - How can usability evaluation be integrated more directly in user interface design? - How can usability evaluation methods be applied in emerging techniques for user interface design? - How can usability evaluation methods be integrated to novel approaches for software development (e.g., model-driven development, web development, agile development). PARTICIPANTS Participants are accepted on the basis of their submitted papers. We aim at 15 with a maximum of 20 participants. The intended audience is primarily software engineering and human-computer interaction researchers who are working with the theme. The workshop should also be relevant for practitioners who have experiences with and ideas for improving the interplay between HCI and SE. RELEVANCE TO THE FIELD The main contribution is the determination of state-of-the-art and the identification of areas for improvement and further research. The HCI field includes a rich variety of techniques for either usability evaluation or user interface design. But there are very few methodological guidelines for the interplay between these key activities; and more important, there are few guidelines on how to properly integrate these two activities in a software development process. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: 20th July 2008 Acceptance Notification: 15th August 2008 Camera-ready Deadline: 1st September 2008 Workshop: 24th September 2008 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Authors of papers must submit their papers by JULY 20. Papers should be submitted in PDF-format to the workshop reviewing system at (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iused2008 ). Participants will be notified before AUGUST 15 and subsequently the papers will be made available to the workshop participants. Papers must describe empirical studies of the interplay between usability evaluation and software development. Two types of submissions are solicited: full papers with up to 6 pages describing substantial, completed work, and position papers with 2 pages describing either results that can be concisely reported or work in progress. Submissions must be clearly marked as one of these two types. Both types of papers should be formatted according to the ACM template for proceedings available at (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). All papers will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee with regard to the relevance and originality of the work and their ability to generate discussions among the participants of the workshop. The workshop proceedings will be published on-line as part of the CEUR Workshop proceedings series. ACTIVITIED PLANNED AND OUTCOMES Tentatively, the Workshop-programme (full day) is as follows: - Introduction to workshop. - A keynote speech by a recognized researcher in the field. - Presentation of selected papers followed by limited discussion. - The organization of the workshop participants around thematic groups. - Reports from the groups and plenary discussion of main issues. - Discussion of how to continue the work. The outcome of the workshop is a collection of papers as well as a presentation and discussion of the validity and significance of these papers. We plan to contact key HCI/SE journals about their willingness to produce a special issue on the interplay between usability evaluation and software development based on the best papers from the workshop.

EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering technologies and methods contributing to enterprise distributed application systems. EDOC 2008 will be the twelfth event in the series of conferences, which since 1997 has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, IT architects, solution designers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions. Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to business processes integration, management, execution and monitoring have become one of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing. Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing systems create challenges that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and across customer businesses. The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology. The themes of openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and objects, provide a useful and unifying conceptual framework. The 2008 EDOC conference will welcome high quality scientific submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] RE'08 : Call for participation and contributions Datum: Wed, 2 Jul 2008 04:20:24 -0400 Von: Selmin NURCAN <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> Antwort an: Selmin NURCAN <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ===================================================================================== Call for Participation and Contributions 16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'08) September 8th - 12th, Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain http://www.re08.org REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD ===================================================================================== Sustainability of the earth and its natural resources represents a crucial issue that must be addressed in this technology-centric century. Although information services are generally not physical in nature and therefore do not directly result in the emission of greenhouse gasses or destruction of other natural resources, software does play a vital role in controlling machines and buildings that have a direct impact on the environment. When the target domain of software to be developed has a potential impact on the global environment, complex factors should be taken into consideration during the analysis and definition of requirements. This is a new challenge facing Requirements Engineering. High quality requirements that are apparently unrelated to environmental issues are also crucial in our modern information-intensive society. Only by fully understanding stakeholders' needs, and documenting them in a concise, and unambiguous way, can we consistently deliver quality products designed to meet the complexities of our advanced information society. Failure to engineer high quality requirements or failure to develop products that satisfy these requirements will ultimately lead to an information society that naively prioritizes its short-term needs over issues of long-term global sustainability. The IEEE International Requirements Engineering conference provides the premier international forum for researchers, educators and industrial practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field of requirements engineering. ================== KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ================== +Helio Piñón, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, "Architecture, Computers and Sustainability" +Michael Jackson, The Open University, UK, "Problems, Solutions and Requirements" + Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, "Climate change: Challenges and Opportunities for Software Requirements Engineering" ======================== WORSHOP CONTRIBUTIONS ======================== Workshop paper submission is open until 4th July, Notifications are due on 28th July.
