The behaviors of industrial systems became increasingly complex. Systems Engineering viewpoints and methodologies are desperately needed to tackle issues, for example, system assessment, testing and metrics of performance and long term effects, the intricate relationships between systems and their environments including emergent interactions among system components, and the couplings between systems software and hardware infrastructures. In order to address these challenges, knowledge how to master these complexities is required. Especially, distributed knowledge, its embodiement within the environment, for example by multi-agent systems, and the mastering of the dynamic interactions of these distributed knowledge items will be in the main focus of IISE 2009. Accordingly, system developments and evaluations have to include new criteria, for example, robustness, evolvability, dependability, engineerability, etc. The IISE 2009 conference aims at providing an international forum for the researchers and practitioners in the related subject areas to exchange research results, experiences, as well as the visions of the future and the scientific and practical problems that challenge the current problems of industrial informatics and systems engineering.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] ASHEs 2009 CPF (New deadline) Datum: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:20:16 +0100 Von: Rachid Anane <csx220(a)coventry.ac.uk> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ==================== Call for Papers ========================== The Second International Workshop on Adaptive Systems in Heterogeneous Environments (ASHEs 2009) [new deadline: October 25,2008] The Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT),Fukuoka, Japan March 16-19, 2009 http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~rza/ashes09/ The Proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Computer and System Sciences (JCSS), Elsevier. [Impact factor 2007: 1.185] =============================================================== The ASHEs 2009 workshop will be held in conjunction with The International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS 2009) http://www.cisis-conference.eu/ and The International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2009) http://www.ares-conference.eu/ ----- Scope ----- Adaptivity spans a range of behavioural complexity and sophistication where basic configurability and full autonomic behaviour appear as extreme points in a wide spectrum. It can be defined as the ability of a system to reconcile its requirements with the elements it is interacting with,by negotiating and adopting an optimal behaviour within and across different and potentially heterogeneous environments. Implicitly sustained by a variety of models these elements may be users, content, applications, systems, middleware, networks or operating systems. They define a hierarchy of levels where heterogeneity can occur. One specific instance where this heterogeneity is resolved is in the personalization of interactive systems through the generation and mediation of implict and explict user profiles and ontologies. At a lower level, in the middleware reflective architectures have been considered as an effective means of offering flexibility in QoS provision, while the endowment of a network with self-awareness enhances its capacity for self-management. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of issues related to adaptivity and its role in the provision of innovative solutions in heterogeneous environments. ------ Topics ------ The workshop seeks original contributions on adaptivity and adaptive systems related but not limited to the following: - Personalization - Ontologies for personalization - Self configuration - Behaviour optimisation - Negotiation - Emergence - Reflective architectures - Architectural Frameworks - Knowledge management - Workflow management - Resource brokering - Service provision - Models - QoS provision - Context-awareness - Model-driven engineering - Web engineering - Middleware management - Agent-based systems - Location-based systems - Smart environments - Hypermedia systems - Web and mobile applications - Autonomic and dependable systems - Network configuration and awareness - Grid and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems - Case studies and experiences of adaptive systems ------------------ Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Rachid Anane, Coventry University, UK Muhammad Younas, Oxford Brookes University, UK ------------------- Program Committee ------------------- Arantza Aldea, Oxford Brookes University, UK Richard Anthony, University of Greenwich, UK Behzad Bordbar, University of Birmingham, UK Kuo-Ming Chao, Coventry University, UK Jen-Yao Chung, IBM TJ Watson Research Center, USA Zhan Cui, British Telecom Research Lab, UK Larbi Esmahi, Athabasca University, Canada Torsten Eymann, University of Bayreuth, Germany Hui-Huang Hsu, Tamkang University, Taiwan Anne James, Coventry University, UK Panagiotis Kalnis, National University of Singapore, Singapore Mohan S Kankanhalli, National University of Singapore, Singapore Helen Karatza, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Soraya Kouadri Mostefaoui, Open University, UK Yinsheng Li, Fudan University, China Kwei-Jay Lin, University of California at Irvine, USA Massimo Mecella, University of Rome, Italy Kozo Okano, Osaka University, Japan Guadalupe Ortiz, University of Extremadura, Spain Manish Parashar, Rutgers University, USA David Parker, Oxford University, UK Florin Pop, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania Omer Rana, Cardiff University, UK Indrakshi Ray, Colorado State University, USA Jose Raul Romero, University of Cordoba, Spain Rizos Sakellariou, University of Manchester, UK Weiming Shen, National Research Council of Canada Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Birmingham, UK Georgios Theodoropoulos, University of Birmingham, UK Jordi Torres, Technical University of Catalonia, Spain --------------- Important Dates --------------- - Submission deadline: October 25, 2008 - Author notification: November 20, 2008 - Final paper version: December 15, 2008 - Conference/Workshop: March 16-19, 2009 ---------------------- Publication ---------------------- The Proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Social Issues in IS - CALL FOR MINITRACKS Datum: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:44:20 +1300 Von: bwhitworth <b.whitworth(a)massey.ac.nz> Antwort an: bwhitworth <b.whitworth(a)massey.ac.nz> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems AMCIS 2009 - San Francisco, California, August 6-9, 2009 AMCIS Track: Social Issues in IS - CALL FOR MINITRACKS Minitracks can include paper sessions, workshops or panels on any topic relevant to Social Issues in IS. If interested please submit a 1 or 2 page proposal shortly with title, subject description and potential topics, name and email contact of chair(s) to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2009 by October 2, 2008. TRACK DESCRIPTION The social issues in IS track of AMCIS 2009 addresses social or community level issues that impact information systems technology. Social issues inevitably affect socio-technical systems, as they are social systems built upon a technical base, e.g. email, electronic markets, social network systems, knowledge exchange systems, blogs, chat rooms and others. Social requirements originate in social communities, and are in addition to human-computer interaction (HCI) requirements, which in turn add to those of traditional technology (hardware and software). The field of socio-technical research welcomes research from all disciplines, including computing, engineering, law, education, computing, health, business and many others. Possible areas in addition to previous mini-tracks include: 1. Social issues in information system requirements and agile development 2. Social issues in online collaboration and work systems: group writing, task teams and online organizational work 3. Social issues in virtual communities: innovation, leadership, roles, social identity and social capital 4. Social issues in online resource sharing: open source systems, online file and media sharing and knowledge sharing repositories 5. Social Issues in online social games, simulations and worlds 6. Social issues in online conversing and relating: email, blogs and social networks 7. Social issues in online risk: trust, accountability, ownership, disclosure, anonymity and participation 8. Ethical issues in information system development, operation and use 9. Social issues in online trade, markets, negotiation and customer communities 10. Online research collaboratories and e-research groups 11. Social evaluation and performance of online communities and services 12. Social issues in online community assessments: reputation and karma systems, online product ratings and e-voting systems 13.

[Fwd: [WI] CfPs: 'Internet of Things' (Electronic Markets & IEEE Internet Computing)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfPs: 'Internet of Things' (Electronic Markets & IEEE Internet Computing) Datum: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:43:04 +0200 Von: Michahelles Florian <fmichahelles(a)ethz.ch> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Dear colleague, We would like to draw your attention to two current calls for papers by 1) Electronic Markets and 2) IEEE Internet Computing. Both deal with the concept of the 'Internet of Things', but from different angles. We apologize in advance for multiple copies of this CfP(s). best Florian Michahelles + Frederic Thiesse ************************* CALL(s) FOR PAPERS ***************************** 1. Electronic Markets - Focus Theme Section on 'Internet of Things' - Electronic Markets - The International Journal, published by Springer - Submission deadline: 07 December 2008 http://www.electronicmarkets.org/news/messages/cfp-internet-of-things-19-3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. IEEE Internet Computing - Special Track on the 'Internet of Things' - Initial submissions due 1 December 2008 (Note that this is no fixed deadline since the special track will span six IEEE IC issues in 2009/2010) http://tinyurl.com/trackcfp ************************************************************************** The two calls in greater detail: 1. Electronic Markets - Focus Theme Section on 'Internet of Things' http://www.electronicmarkets.org/news/messages/cfp-internet-of-things-19-3 Over the last decades, the use of information technology in firms has made a major contribution toward the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of intra- as well as interorganisational processes. However, to date it has only been able to provide very limited solutions to a series of entrepreneurial problems related to the visibility and management of physical processes, e.g. shrinkage along the entire supply chain, inventory inaccuracy, and product counterfeits. The common denominator in all these problems is the persisting lack of integration between the real, physical world or the reality of molecules on the one hand, and the digital world of information systems, the internet or the reality of data and bits on the other hand. In recent years, however, perpetual miniaturization and price decline lead to an ever increasing pervasion of the physical world by tiny microelectronic devices in the form of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transponders, NFC mobile phones, location systems using UWB communication, ZigBee-based wireless sensors, and other ubiquitous computing technologies that permanently collect and process data on their environment. From a managerial perspective, such technologies bring along the next evolutionary step of integration that bridges the before-mentioned gap between information systems and physical processes. Unlike conventional data feeds by means of keyboards or barcode scans, these devices generate a continuous and dense stream of real-time data that grants an information system eyes and ears, thus shaping an ‘Internet of Things (IoT)’ that reflects events in the physical world. This focus theme section of Electronic Markets seeks original articles that explore how the internet can take the next step in its evolution: the integration of real-world objects into its virtual fabric. The development of the IoT is an ongoing process that will need to overcome various challenges to realize this vision. The first refers to the development and adoption of technologies and standards that are required to deploy industry-wide infrastructures to handle billions of sensor-equipped items. Integrating the plethora of data streams and events generated by these with existing enterprise systems poses another major challenge to user companies. Secondly, the economic value of real-time information for physical supply chain operations or even a firm's entire business model is still not fully understood. In recent years, for example, numerous white papers, trade publications, and research reports have discussed the benefits of RFID technologies in the supply chain and beyond. However, most of the estimates stated therein were not substantiated and some of the business cases that try to justify according technology deployments not even require RFID. Thirdly, companies, which make use of IoT technologies might sooner or later be facing a variety of security and privacy issues, e.g. in the form of campaigns of privacy activists, who have been warning against omnipresent surveillance for years. Not least, the IoT might have a deep impact on consumer behavior and societal structures in a similar way as the traditional Internet had in recent years. Potential topics for submissions to this focus theme section include, but are not limited to: - Emerging IoT-induced business models and process changes - Technology adoption and the evolution of standards - Analytical models and simulation studies of operationalbenefits - Strategic impact of visibility over events in the physical world - Case studies from real-world deployments in retail, logistics, healthcare, etc. - Enterprise systems integration and data analytics - Security & privacy aspects of the IoT - Societal implications of the IoT Additional topic suggestions are welcome. All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets publication standards. Methodological and theoretical pluralism (empirical or theoretical work, qualitative research, design science, prototypes etc.) is welcomed by the journal. Full papers are invited to be submitted by 07 December 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. Contact address: frederic.thiesse(a)unisg.ch <mailto:frederic.thiesse@unisg.ch> or editors(a)electronicmarkets.org <mailto:editors@electronicmarkets.org> Papers must be submitted via our online submission system. Instructions are available at http://www.electronicmarkets.org/authors. Guest Editors: - Elgar Fleisch (ETH Zurich & University of St. Gallen, Switzerland), - Sanjay Sarma (MIT, USA), - Frédéric Thiesse (University of St. Gallen, Switzerland). Important deadlines: - Submission deadline: 07 December 2008 - Acceptance decision: 15 February 2009 - Issue: Vol. 19, No. 3, August 2009 2. IEEE Internet Computing - Special Track on the 'Internet of Things' http://tinyurl.com/trackcfp This special track of IC seeks original articles that explore how the Internet can take the next step in its evolution: the integration of real-world objects into its virtual fabric. Appropriate topics include - novel services and applications in an IOT; - emerging IOT business models and process changes; - communication systems and network architectures for the IOT; - technologies and concepts for embedding sensing, actuation, communication, and computation into networked physical items; - experience reports from the introduction and operation of networked physical items in areas such as healthcare, logistics, and transport; and - security and privacy aspects of IOT infrastructures and applications. Articles for this track should be submitted via email to one or both of the track editors. Initial submissions due 1 December 2008 (Note that this is no fixed deadline since the special track wil span six IEEE IC issues in 2009/2010 - however, submitting early increases the probability of acceptance as the number of available slots decreases over time) Track Editors: - Florian Michahelles (ETH Zurich), fmichahelles(a)ethz.ch <mailto:fmichahelles@ethz.ch> - Frederic Thiesse (University of St. Gallen), frederic.thiesse(a)unisg.ch <mailto:frederic.thiesse@unisg.ch> We are looking forward to your submissions! -- Mailing-Liste: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: WI-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/mailman/listinfo/wi

[Fwd: [isworld] Call for papers: ICT Governance, Strategic Alignment and Service Management]
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Sep '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for papers: ICT Governance, Strategic Alignment and Service Management Datum: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 04:59:47 -0400 Von: Aileen Cater-Steel <caterst(a)usq.edu.au> Antwort an: Aileen Cater-Steel <caterst(a)usq.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ICT Governance, Strategic Alignment and Service Management Guest Editor: Dr Aileen Cater-Steel,University of Southern Queensland, Australia You are cordially invited to submit a complete, original, unpublished manuscript for the Information Systems Management Journal special issue on ICT Governance, Strategic Alignment & Service Management. The governance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has recently emerged as a fundamental business imperative and is essential to realise the value of ICT investment. The IT Governance Institute stresses the importance of ICT governance as �an integral part of enterprise governance and consists of the leadership and organisational structures and processes that ensure that the organisation�s IT sustains and extends the organisation�s strategies and objectives� (ITGI). Research from Weill and Ross determined that effective ICT governance provides organisations with significantly greater profits than companies with similar strategies. Furthermore, the alignment of business and ICT strategy has remained a major concern of Information Systems (IS) executives for more than a decade. One of the assumptions underlying studies to date is that the IT resources are firmly under the control of the organisation. However, in reality, the situation for contemporary organisations is far more complex due to the following factors: � corporate data and applications reside on hardware assets owned by service vendors, employees and contractors; � a complex set of sourcing arrangements is used for IT service provision; � the challenge to ensure informed purchasing and to build capabilities to manage external supply so that business value can be leveraged from supplier performance; � the growth and challenge of controlling of mobile devices contributing to ubiquitous computing. The following topics are suggested but other related topics will be considered: � Adoption, opportunities and challenges of frameworks and standards for ICT Governance (e.g. CobiT and ISO/IEC 38500) � Development and use of models for measuring business-IT alignment � Adoption, opportunities and challenges of frameworks and standards for IT Service Management (e.g. ITIL and ISO/IEC 20000) � Case studies detailing the experience of organisations seeking to improve ICT Governance, Strategic Alignment or Service Management. � Education and training for managers, employees and students in ICT Governance, Strategic Alignment or Service Management. � Organisation structure, roles and responsibilities, e.g. CIO, ICT Strategy Committee, centralised/ decentralised, outsourced services. ISM places a high value on article content that communicates advanced practices to address current IS management challenges and innovative applications of new, but proven, information technologies. The methodological orientation is towards field research informed by published literature, but primarily based on case studies, surveys, and field experiences of IS experts. Instructions for Authors The ideal length of the submissions is 7,500 words, but if justified, shorter and longer manuscripts will be considered. All submissions should follow the general guidelines of the journal as specified at www.tandf.co.uk/10580530. The manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the journal�s general policy; all reviews are double-blind. Prospective authors are welcome to submit an abstract to Dr. Aileen Cater-Steel (caterst(a)usq.edu.au) for preliminary feedback on the appropriateness of their planned manuscript. Important dates: Deadline for submission: October 31, 2008 Editorial decision to authors: November 30, 2008 Deadline for revisions: December 31, 2008 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
