-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfPart: QoSA 2008 Datum: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:57:21 +0200 Von: Steffen Becker <steffen.becker(a)fzi.de> Organisation: Forschungszentrum Informatik (FZI) An: SEWORLD(a)cs.colorado.edu, fg-sw-arch(a)ira.uka.de, ak-mda(a)ira.uka.de, se-mitarbeiter(a)fzi.de, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Participation - QoSA 2008 4th International Conference on the Quality of Software Architectures (QoSA 2008) University of Karlsruhe (TH), Germany October 14-17, 2008 http://qosa.ipd.uka.de Motivation ========== Today, a systems's software architecture cannot be seen simply as a means to an end, the end being the implemented system. Although the ultimate measure of the quality of the software architecture lies in the implemented system, in how well it satisfies the requirements and constraints of the project and whether it can be maintained and evolved successfully, the quality of a system's software architecture is one of the critical factors in its overall system quality - encompassing both functional and extrafunctional properties. In order to treat design as an engineering discipline rather than an art, we need the ability to address the quality of the software architecture directly, not simply as it is reflected in the implemented system. This years QoSA's main topic is on "Models and Architectures". Modelling software architectures for documentation purposes as well as manual analysis is an established practice. Due to the continuous maturation of model-driven software development methods and tools, software architecture models also become subject to automated model transformations. Their target is either to generate high quality software implementations or to automatically derive analysis models for predicting architectural quality characteristics like performance or reliability. Highlights ========== * Keynotes: Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy: Rethinking the Use of Models in Software Architecture Michael Stal, Siemens AG, Germany: Dealing with Design Erosion - Architecture Refactoring Philippe Kruchten, University of British Columbia, Canada: Architecture and Agility -- an oxymoron? Thomas Dreier, Universität Karlsruhe (TH), Germany: Components, Architecture and the Law - A Tricky Interplay Florian Matthes, TU Munich, Germany: Visualizing and Managing the Evolution of Socio-Technical Systems of Systems André Ribes, EDF, France: Salome Platform: Focus on the Component Model * Technical Program: 13 Selected papers on Quality of Software Architectures 3 Tutorials Panel on "Components and Services" * Socialising: Social event Conference reception Venue ===== QoSA 2008 will be located in Germany and hosted by the University of Karlsruhe (TH). It will run jointly with CBSE 2008 and CBHPC 2008 as the Federated Events on Component-Based Software Engineering and Software Architecture (CompArch 2008) (see http://comparch2008.ipd.uka.de for further details).

[Fwd: [isworld] Deadline Extended: Global Sourcing Workshop and Special Issue]
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Deadline Extended: Global Sourcing Workshop and Special Issue Datum: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 06:28:48 -0400 Von: Ilan Oshri <ioshri(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Ilan Oshri <ioshri(a)yahoo.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers Abstract submission deadline: September 28th 2008 Third Global Sourcing Workshop: The Impacts of Global IS Sourcing on Engineering, Technology and Innovation Management 22-25 March 2009 Keystone, CO, USA Following the success of the past Global Sourcing workshops in 2007 and 2008, we are pleased to release this Call for Papers for the third Global Sourcing Workshop which will be held March 22-25, 2009 in Keystone, CO, USA. Global sourcing of IT and business services has become one of the most critical economic transformations of our time. By 2009 revenues from the offshore outsourcing of information technologies (IT) will exceed $US30 billion, and over the next five years the compound annual growth rate in this industry is expected to be about 20 per cent (Willcocks and Lacity 2006). These phenomena well deserve in-depth study, and this workshop provides a forum for advancement in research approaches and learning. This workshop will focus on the topic of Global IS Sourcing with a specific interest in social, managerial and knowledge-related aspects of IS sourcing and how these aspects affect engineering, technology and innovation management. This workshop aims to bring together viewpoints from various disciplines, including IB, Strategy, OB and IS on global sourcing of information systems. We invite research articles and focus on practice papers that investigate social, managerial and knowledge-related topics in global outsourcing/offshoring relationships. In particular, the workshop will endeavor to present both the view of managers from both client and vendor perspectives. Some of the specific themes that are of interest in this workshop are: * Critical issues in engineering and innovation management tasked with engaging a global supplier network and workforce * Knowledge management systems, codification processes and their impact on outsourcing performance * Emerging concepts such as Open Sourcing and their consideration from social, managerial and knowledge perspectives * People retention issues and implications for success of global IT sourcing arrangements * Retained management capabilities from a social and knowledge perspective * Social capital in global sourcing arrangements * (Multi-) cultural aspects in outsourcing/offshoring relationships * aspects relating to the management of captive centers * Emerging sourcing markets such as China, South America, Africa and Eastern Europe. We are interested in including papers that are both conceptual and empirically-based. In terms of empirical data, we seek papers that report on outsourcing/offshoring arrangements from countries that have so far been poorly represented in the existing literature such as Latin American, Eastern Europe, Caribbean countries, China and others. In terms of conceptual papers and theoretical frameworks, we seek to contribute to theory building by both reapplying existing frameworks and developing new constructs that help explaining social, managerial and knowledge-related aspects in global sourcing. After presenting their work at the third Workshop on Global Sourcing the authors may choose to submit their papers to the special issue in IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management on *The Impacts of Global Information Systems Sourcing on Engineering, Technology and Innovation Management* edited by Willcocks, Rottman, Kotlarsky and Oshri (deadline for submission August 31st 2009). However, the workshop and the special issue are not connected and participation in the workshop is not required for consideration for the special issue. Please note that a small conference venue has been reserved with guaranteed attendance restricted to those having papers accepted for presentation. Important Dates: September 28th 2008 - Deadline to submit extended abstracts to the Workshop on Global Sourcing September 29th 2008 - Notification of accepted extended abstracts December 17th 2008 - Deadline to submit full papers to the Workshop on Global Sourcing March 1st 2009 - Deadline to submit revised manuscripts to the Workshop on Global Sourcing Workshop March 22-25th 2009 - Workshop on Global Sourcing, Keystone, CO, USA Abstracts should be between 600-800 words.

[Fwd: [isworld] [WM 2009] First CfP for the second workshop on Integrated Knowledge Management Systems (IKMS2009)]
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] [WM 2009] First CfP for the second workshop on Integrated Knowledge Management Systems (IKMS2009) Datum: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 06:41:34 -0400 Von: Stefan Smolnik <Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu> Antwort an: Stefan Smolnik <Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> (Apologies for crosspostings of this announcement.) 5th Conference Professional Knowledge Management: Experiences and Visions WM2009: March 25-27, 2009, Alte Spital/Landhaus, Solothurn, Switzerland http://www.wm-konferenz2009.org --- Second Conference Workshop on Integrated Knowledge Management Systems (IKMS2009) http://www.ebs.edu/index.php?id=ikms2009 CALL FOR PAPERS BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION OF THE WORKSHOP: Information systems supporting knowledge management (KM), in brief knowledge management systems (KMS), are subject of research and practical application since more than a decade. Nevertheless, analyses show that user acceptance and usage of KMS vary significantly in different settings, ranging from high utilization to complete rejection. Empirical findings suggest that integration is a key success factor for the adaptation and efficient usage of KMS. Integration in this context has several dimensions: Firstly, it means to arrange and connect the different technical functionalities of a KMS or its components to deliver a consistent and integrated user experience. In addition to this, the KMS should be integrated soundly into the application landscape of the respective organization. Secondly, it means to embed a KMS into the business processes as seamlessly as possible so that users perceive it as a helpful, daily used tool (instead of a separate, isolated system). Thirdly, in! a networked economy integration means to connect KMS across organizational boundaries. The ideally integrated KMS offers a rich set of well orchestrated functionalities, is imperceptible as a separate system because it is fully embedded into daily work processes and is seamlessly connected within value network surrounding its host organization. The workshop aims to provide a forum to discuss issues and exchange experiences about the successful implementation of KMS, where integration is one important line of thought which can be complemented by other important success factors. TOPICS: Topics of papers submitted can be, but are not limited to: - Integration of content management, competence management, and collaboration management within KMS - The integrating role of semantic technologies - The role of personalization and search as integrating technologies - Usage of new software technologies (e.g. SOA, WebServices) to integrate KMS - Embedding of KMS into business processes - The interplay of KMS applications and generic KM processes - Modeling KMS as socio-technical systems (i.e. including individuals and organizations and related elements) - Establishing knowledge-intensive corporate cultures as a prerequisite for successful KMS - User-generated content and services in KMS - User-driven semantic integration of KMS (collaborative semantic tagging) - Integration of KMS with other information systems (e.g. ERP systems, business intelligence systems, portals) ADDRESSED AUDIENCE: The target group includes researchers and practitioners in the fields of knowledge management systems. Besides paper presentations, this workshop offers organized and open spaces for targeted discussions. It aims at offering a forum for the presentation and discussion of new directions and interesting work in progress. WORKSHOP DURATION: One-day workshop IMPORTANT DATES: 31th of October 2008 - Submission of workshop papers 15th of December 2008 - Notification of authors about acceptance/rejection 16th of January 2009 - Submission of camera-ready papers 25th of March to 27th of March 2009 - IKMS2009 workshop SUBMISSION: This workshop solicits full research papers that discuss innovative problems from one of the areas sketched above. The format of a full paper is max. 10 pages following the LNI formatting guidelines (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/). Only electronic submissions (PDF format) to the EasyChair online conference management system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wm2009workshops) will be accepted. Submission languages are German and English. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the WM2009 conference before the deadline for camera-ready-copies of the papers (16th January 2009). Otherwise, the paper will not be published. All workshop participants must be registered for the conference.

It combines research from various disciplines which have evolved more or less separately. While theories from organizational and marketing science usually capture the nature of these products, engineering disciplines focus on shaping and developing these information goods, and the information systems field on integrating services which are perceived as encapsulated application functionalities with standardized (XML) interfaces. These research streams converge in the new interdisciplinary area of Services Science which integrates the principles, design, and management of economic and technical services. The "First International Symposium on Services Science" will take place in Leipzig between March 23rd and 25th, 2009 as a part of the Multi-Conference SABRE - Software, Agents and Services for Business, Research and E-Sciences. The goals of the symposium are to present the current state of the art in research and industry regarding the Services Science, to establish a platform for the exchange of interested experts from various disciplines. The symposium welcomes both scientific contribution and best practices from practitioners. The program will be completed by keynotes. The organizing committee aims at balancing theory and practice. Leipzig University is located at the heart of Germany and will celebrate its 600 years anniversary in 2009. TOPICS ====== The topics of the ISSS 2009 include but are not limited to: - Services design & engineering - Services modeling & simulation - Industrialization und standardization of services - Configuration and evaluation of business services - Services systems and service components - Services platforms for orchestrating and maintaining services - Basic services technologies and architectures - Customer Integration in Service Design, Delivery and Operation - Services innovation & management (key success factors, service types e.g. systems integration, professional services, self services) - Services marketing (e.g. brand building) - Service business models (e.g. Services pricing, revenue strategies and organization) and their evolution - Services governance and organizational transformation - Management and customizing/localization of services - Services operation and service offshoring - Risk Management for services - Legal aspects of services (assets, intellectual property building, property rights, branding) - Service excellence and service productivity - Service export and internationalization of services - Other services related topics ISSS 2009 seeks two types of contributions: * Full research papers (english) 10 pages * Industrial experience papers (english) 6 pages All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double blind peer review process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] The Reign Of Catz & Dogz at CHI 2009 CFP Datum: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 15:25:12 +0100 Von: Thomas Chesney <Thomas.Chesney(a)nottingham.ac.uk> Antwort an: Thomas Chesney <Thomas.Chesney(a)nottingham.ac.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The Reign Of Catz & Dogz at CHI 2009 (Boston, USA, April 2009) Organizers: Thomas Chesney (University of Nottingham) and Shaun Lawson (University of Lincoln) Call For Papers The Reign of Catz & Dogz at CHI 2009 is a one day workshop which intends to explore aspects of interaction with ethologically inspired virtual creatures including anthropomorphised embodied devices such as Aibo and Pleo, and software such as Catz, Dogz and Nintendogs, as well as non-commercial devices that have been developed in many research labs. Despite the commercial success of these artefacts, the academic understanding of human interactions with such systems remains limited. We invite submission of position papers (three to four pages in length) by researchers working on any relevant topic. These include: -The role of virtual creatures in society -Studies of the benefits of owning virtual pets -Cross cultural studies of aspects of virtual creatures -Zoomorphic social robots -Ethical and cultural aspects of virtual companions -Educational and developmental aspects of owning virtual creatures -Comparisons of virtual with real pets and companion animals -Innovative applications for virtual pets -Cute virtual creatures and kawaii culture -Aesthetics of design of virtual creatures -Hardware and software descriptions of research creatures -Kids and virtual pets versus kids and teddy bears -Evaluations of commercial creatures -Virtual pets as proxies, tool and applications for Web 2.0 Papers will be accepted based on the quality of research and potential interest to attendees. We are particularly keen to receive submissions from researchers outside of computer science and also from researchers addressing intercultural aspects of interactions with virtual creatures. The workshop will be held at CHI 2009 in Boston (USA) (http://www.chi2009.org/) and will include presentations, discussion panels, demonstrations and interactive activities. For further information please see the workshop website http://www.catz-and-dogz.org.uk/. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper needs to register for the workshop and for one or more days at the main CHI conference. Papers (and any queries) should be emailed to Thomas Chesney (thomas.chesney(a)nottingham.ac.uk) by midnight GMT on the 23rd October 2008 (please note the short deadline).
