-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: Electronic Markets Vol. 19, No. 2 - Focus Theme Section on eCRM (Reminder) Datum: Fri, 8 Aug 2008 09:43:35 +0200 Von: Volker Schmelich <schmelich(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Dear colleagues, Apologies if you receive this more than once. We would like to draw your attention to our recent call for papers for the upcoming issue Vol. 19, No. 2 of Electronic Markets with a focus theme section on "Electronic Customer Relationship Management". The CfP is attached below. We cordially invite original research contributions to the focus theme or to general research on electronic markets from all potential authors. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to interested colleagues. If questions arise regarding the submission deadline or potential topics please contact the editors (editors(a)electronicmarkets.org). With best regards, Volker Schmelich ----- Call for Papers for the focus theme section on "Electronic Customer Relationship Management" of Electronic Markets - The International Journal Guest Editors of the focus theme section: Nicholas C. Romano, Jr. (Oklahoma State University, USA), Jerry L. Fjermestad (New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA), Lutz M. Kolbe (University of Goettingen, Germany). The CfP is available Online at http://tinyurl.com/5es85a Commerce in electronic markets (eCommerce) remains a significant, pervasive phenomenon for enterprises, customers, governments and consumer advocacy watchdogs. Three important relationships in electronic markets include: between enterprises and customers (B2C); among enterprises (B2B); and among customers (C2C). Additional relationships between governments (G2G), enterprises (G2B) and customers (G2C) become more important as electronic markets and eGovernment mature and legislation, regulation and oversight increase. Fundamentally eCRM (from the customer perspective) concerns attracting and keeping "Economically Valuable" customers and repelling and eliminating "Economically Invaluable" ones. Electronic markets are evolving from "first order" transactional value exchanges through "second-order" informational value exchanges into "third-order" relational value exchanges. These relational value exchanges are central to success and competitive advantage for firms and customers that engage in eCommerce. This focus theme addresses those value exchanges that address customers and enterprises. We particularly invite papers that address relational value exchanges, practitioner case studies and demonstrations (with strong theoretical foundations) and collaborative eCRM in electronic markets. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: * Topic 1. eCRM in Electronic Markets - How will eCRM continue to emerge in electronic markets? - Will the balance of power between suppliers and buyers shift? - Who will benefit most from changes to electronic market structures? * Topic 2. eCRM Relational Value Exchanges in Electronic Markets - Theoretical Foundations - Empirical Studies - Affective and Cognitive aspects of value exchanges * Topic 3. Collaborative eCRM in Electronic Markets - How can Collaborative and Social Technologies of Web 2.0 play a role? - Customer partnership in Product Design and Innovation. - What types of cooperative norms will develop within eCRM virtual communities? * Topic 4. eCRM and Personalization in Electronic Markets - Levels of personalization in eCRM - Relationship of personalization to Privacy and Security - Mass customization versus Individual personalization * Topic 5. Case Studies and Demonstrations of 'Real World' eCRM Applications - NOTE: It is critical that these have a strong theoretical foundation. - Practitioner case studies are especially welcome. * Topic 6. Economic aspects of eCRM within Electronic Markets - What is the ROI of eCRM? How can it be measured? - What are the typical expense and profit factors for an eCRM business case? How can particularly qualitative metrics be applied to convince management? - Customer Value-added Measurement Instrument development and validation - Instruments and Frameworks for Measurement of eCRM Economic Performance Additional topic suggestions are welcome. All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets publication standards (see http://www.electronicmarkets.org/authors). Methodological and theoretical pluralism (empirical or theoretical work, qualitative research, design science, prototypes ...) is welcomed by the journal. Abstracts should be sent to Electronic Markets prior to the submission deadline, preferably by 11. August 2008. Full papers are invited to be submitted by 08. September 2008. All papers must be original, not published or under review elsewhere. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the focus theme section, please contact the Editor for the focus theme section.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP Special issue of Requirements Engineering Journal on Security]
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP Special issue of Requirements Engineering Journal on Security Datum: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:35:35 -0400 Von: Dubois <eric.dubois(a)tudor.lu> Antwort an: Dubois <eric.dubois(a)tudor.lu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Requirements Engineering Journal Special Issue on Security Requirements Engineering Software systems become more and more critical in every domain of the human society. Transportation, telecommunications, entertainment, health care, military, education and so on; the list is almost endless. These systems are used not only by major corporations and governments but also across networks of organizations and by individual users. Such wide use has resulted in these systems containing a large amount of critical information and processes which inevitably need to remain secure. Therefore, although it is important to ensure that software systems are developed according to the user needs, it is equally important to ensure that these systems are secure. However, the common approach towards the inclusion of security within a software system is to identify security requirements after the definition of a system. This typically means that security enforcement mechanisms have to be fitted into a pre-existing design, leading to serious design challenges that usually translate into the emergence of computer systems afflicted with security vulnerabilities. Recent research has argued that from the viewpoint of the traditional security paradigm, it should be possible to eliminate such problems through better integration of security and requirements engineering. Security should be considered from the early stages of the development process and security requirements should be defined alongside with the system�s requirements specification. Taking security into account alongside the functional requirements helps to limit the cases of security/functional requirements conflict by avoiding them from the very beginning or by isolating them very early in the software system development process. Towards this direction, the requirements engineering community has initiated a number of formal relevant events, such as the Symposium on Requirements Engineering for Information Security (SREIS) series (with events on 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2008), and a guest editorial of the Requirements Engineering Journal on Requirements Engineering for Information Security . The aim of this special issue is to continue this effort and to provide a forum for representing this fast developing area, by capturing the most recent and innovative lines of research related to security requirements engineering. Submissions We solicit high-quality contributions that have not been previously published or currently submitted for journal or conference publication elsewhere. Authors should format their papers according to the instruction for the contributions to the Requirements Engineering Journal as described at ( http://www.springer.com/computer/programming/journal/766 ) and submit at ( http://www.editorialmanager.com/rej/default.asp ) where a special category of article has been created for this special issue. Relevant contributions include (but not limited to): � Theories and models relevant to security requirements engineering � Methodologies for elicitation and management of security requirements � Evaluation of different security requirements engineering approaches in industrial projects � Testing techniques of security requirements � Formal approaches for security requirements engineering � Experience reports � Tools and automated support � Compliance to standards � Relationship with related concepts such as safety, trust and reliability Important Dates Submission Deadline: 29th October 2008 Notifications Due: 20th December 2008 Revisions Due: 10th January 2009 Final Recommendations: 10th February 2009 Camera-Ready Papers Due:25th February 2009 Publication: Early 2009 (April) Guest Editors Eric Dubois, CRP Henri Tudor � Luxemburg � eric.dubois(a)tudor.lu Haralambos Mouratidis, University of East London � UK - H.Mouratidis(a)uel.ac.uk The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

Behavioral modeling reproduces the social behavior, and allows for experimenting, scenario planning, and deep understanding of behavior, patterns, and potential outcomes. The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies provides an unprecedented environment of various social activities. Social computing facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, and prediction. Numerous interdisciplinary and interdependent systems are created and used to represent the various social and physical systems for investigating the interactions between groups, communities, or nation-states. This requires joint efforts to take advantage of the state-of-the-art research from multiple disciplines, social computing, and behavioral modeling in order to document lessons learned and develop novel theories, experiments, and methodologies in terms of social, physical, psychological, and governmental mechanisms. The goal is to enable us to experiment, create, and recreate an operational environment with a better understanding of the contributions from each individual discipline, forging joint interdisciplinary efforts. This workshop is interdisciplinary and provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from sociology, behavioral science, computer science, psychology, cultural study, information systems, operations research to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, principles, and methodologies, aiming to advance and deepen our understanding of social and behavioral computing and evaluation in help critical decision and policy making. The program will include invited speakers from government, industry, and academia, as well as research presentations and discussions. The first workshop (SBP'08) is a great success.

[Fwd: [WI] 2nd CfP - Special Issue on Forecasting with Computational Intelligence]
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CfP - Special Issue on Forecasting with Computational Intelligence Datum: Fri, 8 Aug 2008 18:00:56 +0100 Von: Lancaster Forecasting Centre <s.crone(a)lancaster.ac.uk> Antwort an: International Journal of Forecasting <IJF_Special_Issue(a)neural-forecasting.com> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers Special Issue of the International Journal of Forecasting on Forecasting with artificial neural networks and computational intelligence Motivation & Context The last 20 years of research have produced more than 5000 publications on artificial neural networks (NN) for predictive modelling across various disciplines. However, while NN and other methods of computational intelligence (CI) are firmly established in automatic control and classification problems, they have not received the same level of attention in time series forecasting (regression). Many of the optimistic publications indicating a competitive or even superior performance of NNs have focussed on theoretical development of novel paradigms, or extensions to existing methods, architectures, and training algorithms, but have lacked a valid and reliable evaluation of the empirical evidence of their performance. Similarly, only a few publications have attempted to develop a thorough methodology on how to model NNs under specific conditions, limiting the modelling process of NNs to a heuristic and ad-hoc art of hand-tuning individual models, rather than a scientific approach using a replicable methodology and modelling process. As a consequence, NNs have not yet been empirically validated as a forecasting method in many areas of forecasting, despite theoretical advances. To explore this gap between academic attention, theoretical prowess and empirical performance we invite contributions to a special issue of the International Journal of Forecasting (IJF) dedicated to evaluating the evidence on forecasting with NN and CI-methods. Topics Papers for this special issue should focus on novel techniques, methods, methodologies and applications from the computational intelligence domain, with particular emphasis on neural networks, within all aspects of forecasting. Particular emphasis will be placed on applied or applicable work that provides valid and reliable evidence on the performance of the methods and the development of robust methodologies based upon rigorous evaluation, rather than purely theoretical contributions. Contributions of contenders that have contributed to one of the recent forecasting competitions dedicated to NN and CI-methods (ESTSP07, ESTSP08, NN3 and NN5) are particularly encouraged. Due to the single-time origin design of these competitions, the authors are encouraged to obtain the complete datasets and rerun experiments for their papers, in order to obtain representative out-of-sample results across multiple origins and error measures in comparison to established statistical benchmark methods, adhering to the best-practices set out in discussions in the IJF (see e.g. Tashman (2000) Out-of-sample tests of forecasting accuracy - an analysis and review, International Journal of Forecasting 16, 437450; and Adya and Collopy (1998) How effective are neural networks at forecasting and prediction? A review and evaluation, Journal of Forecasting, 17, 481495). About the Journal The International Journal of Forecasting (IJF, www.forecasters.org/ijf) published by Elsevier is the leading journal in its field and indexed by all major citation indexing services (including ISI Thomson Scientific). It is the official publication of the International Institute of Forecasters (IIF) and shares its aims and scope. The IJF publishes high quality refereed papers covering all aspects of forecasting. Its objective (and that of the IIF) is to unify the field, and to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The intention is to make forecasting useful and relevant for decision and policy makers who need forecasts. The journal places particular emphasis on empirical studies, evaluation activities, implementation research and ways of improving the practice of forecasting. It is open to many points of view and encourages debate to find solutions for problems facing the field. Regular features of the IJF include research papers, research notes, discussion articles, book reviews, and software reviews. The IJF has an impact factor of 1.409 (Journal Citation Reports® 2008, published by Thomson Scientific). Review Process Each submitted paper will be peer-reviewed in the same manner as other submissions to the IJF. Providing papers fit into the theme of the special issue, quality and originality of the contribution will be the major criteria for each submission. Due to the tight deadlines, any paper for which the outcome of the refereeing process is major revision will not be included in the special issue, but may be revised and resubmitted according to the journals regular process. It may also be considered for a forthcoming special volume on Advances in Forecasting with Computational Intelligence by Springer (which is circulated separately). Important Dates Deadline for manuscripts: 15 September, 2008 Preliminary decision to authors: 24 November, 2008 Revision Due: 12 January, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: 16 March, 2008 Submission Instructions Authors are encouraged to contact one of the editors with an extended abstract of three pages to discuss any questions of suitability. Only email submissions will be accepted. Please submit your manuscript to IJF_Special_Issue(a)neural-forecasting.com . The submission must be in PDF format. Final manuscripts must be submitted in either MS-Word or LaTeX format for typesetting by the publisher. Manuscripts must be in English and double-spaced throughout. Papers should in general not exceed 6,000 words. All submissions will be peer reviewed. Detailed instructions for authors are at: http://www.forecasters.org/ijf.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Special Issue on: "Security and Privacy in RFID Systems" Datum: Fri, 8 Aug 2008 11:02:29 +1000 Von: Hua Wang <wang(a)usq.edu.au> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Dear Colleague: Please accept my apologies if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology for automated identification of objects and people with neither physical nor visual contact. RFID systems are already widely applied in industry supporting supply chain management and inventory control. The identification method relies on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. A tag is a small microchip which is used for wireless data transmission between the tag and a reader. Tags only offer weak computation and storage capacities. While increased applications of RFID systems in our daily life continue, this also creates new security and privacy problems to both individuals and organisations because of their limitations. Examples of security issues are: cloning an RFID tag, impersonation of a tag to obtain access permission and forging an e-passport for international travel. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in security and privacy fields to study the particular problems and challenges of RFID systems. Its purpose is therefore to foster communication between various communities, including security and privacy communities, and distributed systems and information systems communities. The objective is to evaluate the expectations of security and privacy concerning RFID and to establish a common infrastructure of the discipline. The special issue will identify fundamental theory, techniques, applications and practical experiences in a variety of topics in privacy and security and also provide a common ground for advanced research and development in security and privacy, concentrating on the special challenges of RFID systems. The issue will to publish the most recent results in security and privacy aspects of RFID systems. Important Dates: Manuscript due: 28 February, 2009 Acceptance/rejection notification: 31 May, 2009 Final manuscript due: 31 July, 2009 Details can be found at: http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=1015 Guest Editors: Dr. Hua Wang, University of Southern Queensland, Australia Professor Xiaohua Jia ,City University of Hong Kong, China This email (including any attached files) is confidential and is for the intended recipient(s) only.
