-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for papers: Pattern Recognition Letters special issue on Image/Video-Based Pattern Analysis and HCI Applications (PA&HCI) Datum: Wed, 06 Aug 2008 09:36:07 +1000 Von: Liang Wang <lwwang(a)csse.unimelb.edu.au> Antwort an: Liang Wang <lwwang(a)csse.unimelb.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> http://www-staff.it.uts.edu.au/~wuq/CFP/SI_PAHCI.htm Pattern Recognition Letters Special Issue On Image/Video-Based Pattern Analysis and HCI Applications (PA&HCI) Pattern Recognition Letters is seeking high qualified manuscripts for a Special Issue on Image/video-based pattern analysis and HCI applications, scheduled for publication in 2010. *Aim and Scopes:* The interests and goals of HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) include understanding, designing, building and evaluating complex interactive systems, which involve disciplines, e.g., computer science, engineering, IT, and psychology to name a few. The need for natural and effective Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is increasingly important due to the prevalence of computers in human activities. Developments in image/video computing technologies are continuously driving a range of applications in supporting our collaborative and communicative needs both at work and at play. Computer vision and pattern recognition continue to play a dominant role in the HCI realm because image/video computing (such as body gesture recognition, facial expression analysis, etc) provides most natural visual communication channel for humans and machines. The availability of low-cost camera technology has also led to a quickly increased use of visual cues in HCI. This special issue is particularly interested in new advances in vision techniques for intelligent HCI. We are soliciting original contributions, of leading researchers and practitioners from academia as well as industry, which address a wide range of theoretical and application issues in vision-based HCI. Original papers to survey the recent progress in this exciting area and highlight potential solutions to common challenging problems are welcome. The topics include, but are not limited to: o Hand motion and gesture recognition o Sign language analysis and recognition o Human motion capture and recognition o Human pose estimation o Non-rigid object structure recovery (e.g. structure from motion for hand and face shapes, active shape models, active appearance models) o Visual object tracking and feature extraction (e.g., face, body, hands) o Biometrics authentication in HCI (e.g., face recognition, gait recognition, etc) o Affective computing for HCI (e.g., facial expression, emotion, motivational aspects) o Vision processing in human factors analysis o Event detection and recognition o Perceptual user interfaces and multimodal integration o Behaviour understanding o Interactive visual navigation and human-robot interaction o Perception and modelling of user and context o HCI issues in image/video browsing and retrieval o Learning aspects in HCI o Performance evaluation in HCI o Data corpora of visual HCI events o Visual interface design o Relevant HCI applications (e.g. person authentication, surveillance and monitoring, automatic driver assistance, smart meeting, entertainment, game, virtual reality) *Submission procedure:* Manuscript should conform to the standard guidelines of the Pattern Recognition Letters. Instructions for formatting papers can be found in the “Guide for authors”. Submitted articles must not have been previously published and must not be currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Prospective authors should submit the electronic copy of their complete manuscript via online electronic Elsevier system (EES), in which authors must select the "article type" from the menu as “PA&HCI”, the acronym of the special issue. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. *Important Dates:* o Full paper due: *Aug. 30, 2008* o First notification: Nov. 30, 2008 o Revised manuscript (for second review) due: Jan. 30, 2009 o Acceptance Notification: Mar. 30, 2009 o Final manuscript due: Apr. 30, 2009 o Scheduled publication of the special issue: 2010 *Guest Editors* Dr. Liang Wang (lwwang(a)csse.unimelb.edu.au) The University of Melbourne, Australia.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP CAiSE'09, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Datum: Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:05:28 +0200 Von: Jaap Gordijn <gordijn(a)cs.vu.nl> Antwort an: Jaap Gordijn <gordijn(a)cs.vu.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call For Papers CAiSE'09 The 21st International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'09) 8-12 June 2009, Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://caise09.thenetworkinstitute.eu/ Information Systems for Business Innovation: The Next Wave This year's special theme is "Information Systems for Business Innovation". Due to the widespread use of the web, businesses innovate their propositions to customers and come up with new ICT- enabled services. Such innovation requires understanding of the business and of technology in an integrated way. Multi-disciplinary research areas such as Service Science, Networked Enterprises, and Social Networking are paying attention to ICT and business innovation. The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE '09 will shed light on this theme from various perspectives. Goal: CAiSE'09 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering. CAiSE'09 invites submissions on the development, maintenance, and usage of information systems - and especially submissions dealing with information systems for business innovation. The topics of interests include, but are not restricted to: Methodologies and approaches for IS engineering - Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling - Requirements engineering - Business process modelling and management - Simulation - Agile methods - Model, component, and software reuse - IS reengineering - Adaptive IS engineering approaches - Service science - Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS engineering - IS in networked & virtual organizations Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering - Service-oriented architecture - Model-driven architecture - Component based development - Agent architecture - Distributed, mobile-, and open architecture - Innovative database technology - Semantic web - IS and ubiquitous technologies Engineering of specific kinds of IS: - eGovernment - Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, CRM) - Data warehousing - Workflow systems - Knowledge management systems - Content management systems Quality concerns in IS engineering - Knowledge, information, and data quality - Quality of models and their languages - Usability, security, trust, flexibility, interoperability Important Dates: 12 October 2008: Tutorials & workshops submission deadline Nov 30, 2008: Paper submission deadline Feb 8, 2009: Notification of acceptance Jun 8-12, 2009: Conference & workshops Types of contributions: we invite four types of original and scientific papers: 1. Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential - or, even better, the evaluated - benefits of the contribution. 2. Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. 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. 3. Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. 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. 4. Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to addressing the identified situation. Submission Conditions: Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. Publication: Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'09 and published in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

IQ and QoS provisioning for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult due to the resource-constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the system, the weakness under security attacking, and the lack of a holistic design approach which takes into account the different types of resources and their inter-dependencies. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of IQ and QoS for pervasive computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * System architecture for IQ and QoS provisioning * IQ-oriented signal & information processing (e.g., source coding and data compression) * QoS for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification * QoS for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (including coverage and connectivity) * QoS for task mapping and scheduling * Cross-layer design for coordinated QoS (including IQ-QoS integration) * Adaptative IQ and QoS under dynamic environments * Trust, security and privacy issues in IQ and QoS * Development environments and programming languages for IQ and QoS * IQ and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications, such as three-dimensional wireless sensor networks (like underwater sensor network), healthcare, and structural health monitoring * Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Submission Instructions The submitted paper should be in the IEEE conference format (author guidelines can be found at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM <ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM> ) and should be no more than 6 pages in length. The paper should not be previously published or currently under review elsewhere. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered. Detailed electronic submission procedures will be announced later. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2009 workshops proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. General Co-Chairs Sajal K.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] WITS 2008 Call for Submission - Technology Instruction in Business Curriculum Competition Datum: Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:43:02 -0400 Von: Sanjukta D. Smith <sdsmith4(a)buffalo.edu> Antwort an: Sanjukta D. Smith <sdsmith4(a)buffalo.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> WITS 2008 Call for Submission - Technology Instruction in Business Curriculum Competition: Instructors teaching Information Technology (IT) in a business curriculum face significant challenges in organizing and developing instructional materials that effectively integrate technology concepts with business issues and problems. Often, instructional approaches tend to align themselves at extreme ends of the technology-business spectrum. At one extreme, the technological skills are given the main focus with limited emphasis on understanding the solution from the business contexts and requirements. At the other end, pedagogical materials are developed primarily with a business focus with little attention to understanding the key IT enablers and their potential to impact business solutions. Both approaches – lack of adequate and appropriate business contexts or the treatment of technology as a black box, lead to less than ideal learning outcomes for the business students. The objective of the technology instruction competition is to bring together well-developed ideas, which can assist the MIS community at large, in their quest to improve the business orientation of their IT curricula. We solicit submissions of instructional modules that would demonstrate innovative integrations of technology and business in graduate or undergraduate courses. Submissions should be made online at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/\?conf=wits2008 When submitting to the Technology Instruction in Business Curriculum Competition, please be sure to select the option titled "Technology Instruction in Business Curriculum Competition" under "Category".

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Journal of Strategic Information Systems: Best Paper 2007 Datum: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 11:59:42 -0400 Von: Bob Galliers <rgalliers(a)bentley.edu> Antwort an: Bob Galliers <rgalliers(a)bentley.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Journal of Strategic Information Systems Best Paper 2007 The editors of JSIS are pleased to announce the best paper published in the journal in 2007, which was: "Global software development: Exploring socialization and face-to-face meetings in distributed strategic projects" Journal of Strategic Information Systems, volume 16, number 1, March 2007, Pages 25-49 by Ilan Oshri, Julia Kotlarsky & Leslie P. Willcocks This paper was chosen in light of the topicality and importance of the subject matter in the age of globalization; the thoroughness of the qualitative, interpretive case study approach employed by the authors; the contributions to theory (specifically a framework for understanding globally distributed teams), and the contributions to practice. These include recommendations concerning investing in the development of socialization, identifying the phase the dispersed team has reached in its development, and staffing dispersed teams based on shared past experiences as well as required skill sets. In other words, the paper more than clears the 'double hurdle' of theoretical contribution and practical relevance. Two highly commended papers which also deserve special mention are: "Does IT pay to focus? An analysis of IT business value under single and multi-focused business strategies" Journal of Strategic Information Systems, volume 16, number 3, September 2007, Pages 278-300 by Paul P. Tallon and "Mobilizing software expertise in personal knowledge exchanges" Journal of Strategic Information Systems, volume 16, number 3, September, Pages 254-277 by Sanjay Gosain For more details about JSIS, please go to: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jsis The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

CFP: Special Issue on Component and Service Engineering Datum: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 10:40:20 +0200 Von: Klaus Turowski <klaus.turowski(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> Antwort an: Klaus Turowski <klaus.turowski(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures An International Journal Call for Papers Special Issue on 'Component and Service Engineering' Editor Klaus Turowski Chair of Business Informatics and Systems Engineering University of Augsburg Universitaetsstrasse 16 86159 Augsburg Germany E-Mail: klaus.turowski(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de Description of Special Issue Guiding model for sophisticated (software) reuse strategies that encompass using (software) components or (software) services are mature traditional engineering disciplines, which have already concluded the change from a crafts-like fabrication to an industrial mass production. These are characterized by the reuse of existing solutions, reduction of production depth and platform concepts that allow for assembling new products or services, to a large percentage, simply from existing (standardized) components, which may have been furnished by others. Hereby, competitive advantages mainly result from important gains in terms of quality and efficiency. By using software components, which after all offer software services, users delegate the responsibility for developing the used component, according to the black box principle, to the component developer. However, the component user has to provide a suitable runtime environment and has to ensure the component's proper operation. With respect to pragmatics Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) goes one step further, as the service user may also delegate the responsibility for the service operation towards a third party. This allows for further sophisticated outsourcing concepts as far as e.g. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) or dynamic service re-binding. This special issue focuses on the field of component and service engineering, its state of the art as well as remaining challenges and directions for further research. It is expected that submissions are based on sound theoretical, conceptual-analytical and, where appropriate, empirical research methods. Topics include, but are not limited to * Component- or service-based system architectures and frameworks * Domain analysis, modularization, and identification of components or services * Standardization and specification of components and services * Configuration management and quality prediction * Composition, compatibility-tests and type systems, conflict resolution * Component and service markets * Specific aspects of IT governance, Information Management, and Service Science * Case studies Dates Submission deadline 15 October 2008 Notification of acceptance 15 December 2008 Camera-ready papers deadline 01 February 2009 Publication June 2009 Review The review process is double blind and will involve the associate editors of this journal as reviewers.
