-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: Special issue of Logic Journal of IGPL on Normative Multiagent Systems Datum: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:43:37 +0200 Von: Guido Boella <guido(a)di.unito.it> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [Our apologies for possible cross-postings] URL: http://www.di.unito.it/~guido/normas09sp-cfp.html CALL FOR PAPERS Logic Journal of the IGPL Special issue on "Normative Multiagent Systems" It follows two other special issues on the same topic: "Special issue of Computational & Mathematical Organization Theory on Normative Multiagent Systems" <http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10588-006-9537-7> "Special issue of Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems on Normative Multiagent Systems" <http://www.springerlink.com/content/t3051h188473/?p=2fa86eac1fd64175bcd89f0…> Norms play a central role in many social phenomena such as coordination, cooperation, decision-making, and so on. Norms provide an essential basis for modeling, engineering, and understanding systems of artificial or human agents. Norms yield structure and predictability in systems that are other loosely structured and support the autonomy of the participants. The study of norms in multiagent systems combines theories and frameworks for normative systems with those of multiagent systems. The study of norms in multiagent systems is a prime example of the use of sociological theories in multiagent systems, and therefore of the relation between agent theory and the social sciences, broadly construed to include sociology, philosophy, economics, legal science, among others. Particular topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Multiagent or society level: o balancing dynamics and statics at the agent (micro) and agent society (macro) level o coordination based on normative multiagent systems o emergence of conventions, norms, roles, and normative multiagent systems o combining conventions with regulative, permissive, constitutive and other types of norms o relation between NorMAS and contracts, security, and (electronic) institutions o commitments, organizations, and norms o commitments, protocols and Agent Communication Languages * Agent level: o alternatives to and extensions of the homo economicus and BDI logics o extending logical frameworks to encompass norms in agent decision making o how to implement theories of norms in artificial agents o policies and commitments * Applications of NorMAS: o multiagent social simulation models containing norms o mixing artificial and human agents in hybrid social systems We welcome both theoretical work (formal models, representations, specifications, logics, verification) and implementation-oriented work (architectures, programming languages, design models, simulations, prototype systems) on these specific topics. All submissions will be peer reviewed with respect to the usual journal criteria. Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished, research papers written in English. Submissions should be and formatted to fit within a text area of 16cm wide by 22cm high with 11pt Times font and an interline spacing of 15pt. There is no a-priori set page limit, but please avoid overlong papers. The deadline for submissions is November 30, 2008 Authors should submit their papers electronically using the website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=normas08sp The Journal will publish the special issue as soon as camera ready versions will be ready at the end of the review process.

The central idea of the Semantic Web is to extend the current human-readable web by encoding some of the semantics of resources in a machine-processable form. Moving beyond syntax opens the door to more advanced applications and functionality on the Web. Computers will be better able to search, process, integrate and present the content of these resources in a meaningful, intelligent manner. As the core technological building blocks are now in place, the next challenge is to show off the benefits of semantic technologies by developing integrated, easy to use applications that can provide new levels of Web functionality for end users on the Web or within enterprise settings. Applications submitted should demonstrate clear practical value that goes above and beyond what is possible with conventional web technologies alone. Unlike in previous years, the Semantic Web Challenge of 2008 will consist of two tracks: the Open Track and the Billion Triples Track. The key difference between the two tracks is that the Billion Triples Track requires the participants to make use of the data set --a billion triples-- provided by the organizers. The Open Track has no such restrictions. As before, the Challenge is open to everyone from academia and industry. The authors of the best applications will be awarded prizes and featured prominently at special sessions during the conference. GOALS ----- The overall goal of this event is to advance our understanding of how semantic technologies can be exploited to produce useful applications for the Web. Semantic Web applications should integrate, combine, and deduce information from various sources to assist users in performing specific tasks. The specific goal of the Billion Triples Track is to demonstrate the scalability of applications as well as to encourage the development of applications that can deal with Web data. We stress that the goal of this is not to be a benchmarking effort between triple stores, but rather to demonstrate applications that can scale to a Web scale using realistic Web-quality data. Minimal Requirements -------------------- Submissions for the Semantic Web Challenge must meet the following minimum requirements: For the Open Track: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. The meaning of data has to play a central role. * Meaning must be represented using formal descriptions. * Data must be manipulated/processed in interesting ways to derive useful information and * this semantic information processing has to play a central role in achieving things that alternative technologies cannot do as well, or at all; 2. The information sources used * should be under diverse ownership or control * should be heterogeneous (syntactically, structurally, and semantically), and * should contain substantial quantities of real world data (i.e. not toy examples). 3. The application has to be an end-user application, i.e. an application that provides a practical value to domain experts. Although we expect that most applications will use RDF, RDF Schema, or OWL this is not a requirement. What is more important is that whatever semantic technology is used, it plays a central role in achieving interesting new levels of functionality or performance. It is required that all applications assume an open world, i.e. that the information is never complete. Additional Desirable Features ----------------------------- In addition to the above minimum requirements, we note other desirable features that will be used as criteria to evaluate submissions. - The application provides an attractive and functional Web interface (for human users) - Rigorous evaluations have taken place that demonstrate the benefits of semantic technologies, or validate the results obtained. - The application should be scalable (in terms of the amount of data used and in terms of distributed components working together) - Novelty, in applying semantic technology to a domain or task that have not been considered before - Functionality is different from or goes beyond pure information retrieval - The application has clear commercial potential and/or large existing user base - Contextual information is used for ratings or rankings - Multi-media documents are used in some way - There is a use of dynamic data (e.g. workflows), perhaps in combination with static information - The results should be as accurate as possible (e.g. use a ranking of results according to context) - There is support for multiple languages and accessibility on a range of devices For the Billion Triples Track: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. The primary goal is to for submissions to show how they add value to the very large triple store. This can involved anything from helping people figure out what is in the store via browsing, visualization, etc; could include inferencing that adds information not directly queriable in the original dataset; could involve showing how ontological information could be tied to part(s) or the whole of the dataset; etc. 2. The tool or application has to make use of at least a significant portion of the data provided by the organizers. 3. The tool or application is allowed to use other data that can be linked to the target dataset, but there is still an expectation that the primary focus will be on the data provided. 4. The tool or application does not have to be specifically an end-user application, as defined for the Open Track Challenge, but usability is a concern. The key goal is to demonstrate an interaction with the large data-set driven by a user or an application. However, given the scale of this challenge, solutions that can be justified as leading to such applications, or as crucial to the success of future applications, will be considered. It is desired that all applications assume an open world, i.e. that the information is never complete. However, applications that can show useful ways to "close the world" for sections of the very large dataset will be considered. Additional Desirable Features ----------------------------- In addition to the above minimum requirements, we note other desirable features that will be used as criteria to evaluate submissions. - The application should do more than simply store/retrieve large numbers of triples - The application or tool(s) should be scalable (in terms of the amount of data used and in terms of distributed components working together) - The application or tool(s) should show the use of the very large, mixed quality data set - The application should either function in real-time or, if pre-computation is needed, have a real-time realization (but we will take a wide view of "real time" depending on the scale of what is done) How to participate ------------------ Visit http://challenge.semanticweb.org in order to participate and register for the Semantic Web Challenge by submitting the required information as well as a link to the application on the online registration form. The form will be open until October 1, 2008, 12am CET. The requirements of this entry are: 1) Abstract: no more than 200 words. 2) Description: The description will show details of the system including why the system is innovative, which features or functions the system provides, what design choices were made and what lessons were learned. Papers should not exceed eight pages and must be formatted according to the same guidelines as the papers in the Research Track (see http://iswc2008.semanticweb.org) 3) Web access: The application should be accessible via the web. If the application is not publicly accessible, passwords should be provided. We also ask to provide a (short) instruction on how to start and use the application. Descriptions will be published in the form of an online proceedings. Prizes ------ A prize in money will be provided to the winners along with publicity for their work. The winners will also be asked to give a live demonstration of their application at the ISWC 2008 conference. The best applications will also have a chance to appear as full papers in the Journal of Web Semantics. In the event that one of the tracks receive less than a minimal number of submissions, the organizers reserve the right to merge the two tracks of the competition.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Information Systems 2009 in Barcelona: submit until 20 October Datum: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:44:49 +0200 (SAST) Von: Ana Sofia <ana.sofia(a)is-conf.org> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at ** Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students.** -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline: 20 October 2008 ************************************************************* IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2009 February 25-27, 2009 – Barcelona, SPAIN (http://www.is-conf.org/) ************************************************************* * Conference background and goals A new paradigm is sweeping the society, organisations and the business environment. In fact, society and business world alike are moving from its tangible bases to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS) to support its management, use and sharing. In this emerging paradigm, terms like information, communication, knowledge, and learning have acquired a critical relevance to the understanding of the nature of contemporary business. This led authors such as Drucker (1993) to state that “we are entering the knowledge society in which the basic economic resource… is knowledge”. In fact, since the mid-1980s, there has been a sudden avalanche of a new kind of vocabulary. Corporations, which so far had been economic entities, are being described as ‘information-based organizations’, ‘learning organizations’, ‘knowledge-creating companies’ or knowledge intensive organisations. Instead of product-market strategies, the fashionable business discourse invokes core competencies, intangible assets, knowledge-based capabilities, intellectual capital, knowledge management etc. Consequently, in this 21st century of ours, terms such as intellectual capital, knowledge management, and knowledge mapping have increasingly become part of the corporate landscape. However, none of this apparent revolution would be possible without the underlying technological support provided by IS. The IADIS Information Systems Conference (IS 2009) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS taking a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems. * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * A set of key issues has been identified (see below). However, these do not aim at being prescriptive, or set in stone, and any innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be considered. Areas and Topics of the conference will focus on: IS in Practice, Technology Infrastructures and Organisational Processes • Power, Cultural, Behavioural and Political issues • New Organisational Forms • Dilution of Organisational Boundaries • The centrality of IS and IT in Organisational Processes • IS Management • Information Management • Knowledge Management • IS and SMEs • Innovation and IS • Innovation and Knowledge Management • IS and Change Management • IS and Organisation Development • Enterprise Application Integration • Enterprise Resource Planning • Business Process Change IS Design, Development and Management Issues and Methodologies • Design and Development Methodologies and Frameworks • Iterative and Incremental Methodologies • Agile Methodologies • IS Design and Development as a Component-Based Process • IS Design and Development as Social Negotiation Process • IS D Design and Development as a Global and Distributed Process • Outsourcing in IS • Outsourcing Risks, Barriers and Opportunities • IS Project Management • IS Quality Management and Assurance • IS Standards and Compliance Issues • Risk Management in IS • Risk Management in IS Design and Development IS Professional Issues • Ethical, social, privacy, security and moral issues in an e-society • The role of information in the information society • Myths, taboos and misconceptions in IS • Practitioner and Research Relationship, Projects and Links • Validity, Usefulness and Applicability of IS Academic Research • Industrial Research versus Academic Research Issues • Industry Innovation and Leadership and Academic Laggards • IS consultancy as a profession • Organisational IS Roles • Communities of practice and Knowledge Sharing IS Research • Core Theories, Conceptualisations and Paradigms in IS Research • Ontological Assumptions in IS Research • IS Research Constraints, Limitations and Opportunities • IS vs Computer Science Research • IS vs Business Studies • Positivist, Interpretivist and Critical Approaches to IS Research • Quantitative vs. Qualitative Methods • Deductive vs Inductive Approaches • Multi-method Approaches and Triangulations in IS Research • Design Research and the Sciences of the Artificial in IS • Multidisciplinary Views and Multi Methodological Approaches • New and alternative approaches to IS research • Examples of experimental research designs in IS IS Learning and Teaching • Patterns of Demand for IS Teaching Provision • Fads, Fashions and Fetishes in IS Curricula • Pedagogic practice in Teaching IS • E-Learning in IS • Instructional Design for IS • National Cultures and Approaches to Pedagogy • Multiculturality ad Diversity Issues in IS Learning and Teaching * Important Dates: - Submission deadline: 20 October 2008 - Notification to Authors: 17 November 2008 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration: Until 15 December 2008 - Late Registration: After 15 December 2008 - Conference: Barcelona, Spain, 25 to 27 February 2009 * Secretariat IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2009 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3, 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)is-conf.org Web site: http://www.is-conf.org/ * Program Committee Conference Chair Professor Philip Powell, Deputy Dean, University of Bath, UK Program Co-Chairs Miguel Baptista Nunes, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Committee Members: for the full Committee Members list please access http://www.is-conf.org/committees.asp * Co-located events Please also check the co-located events: e-Society 2009 (http://www.esociety-conf.org/) - 25-28 February 2009 Mobile Learning 2009 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/) - 26-28 February 2009 * Registered participants in the Information Systems’ conference may attend Mobile Learning and e-Society conferences’ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://stats.images11.com/home/r.asp> subscribe <http://stats.images11.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=1221…> forward <http://stats.images11.com/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&Hit…> unsubscribe <http://stats.images11.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neum…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] ICSE'09: Call for "Software Engineering in Practice" Papers Datum: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:26:13 +0100 (WEST) Von: Joao Araujo <ja(a)di.fct.unl.pt> Antwort an: Joao Araujo <ja(a)di.fct.unl.pt> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> SOFTWARE ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE AT ICSE 2009 http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/SEIP/ The "Software Engineering in Practice" Track at ICSE 2009 will be a two-day track oriented towards reports of applying software engineering in practice and experience related to application. We are inviting for this track experience reports from practitioners on new advances in software engineering methods, practices or tools. If your team or company has developed new insights, both positive or negative, into new tools methods or practices in software engineering, for example in agile methods, service oriented architecture, concurrency, value-based approaches, and if you think that the lessons you have learned from experience are valuable for the software engineering community, please consider contributing to this track. A contribution should consist of a brief explanation of the method, practice, or tool in question, a description of the context and particulars in which you have experience, the results youve achieved, and the lessons you and your organization have learned relative to this method, practice or tool, its applicability, its effectiveness, or insights on how to further improve it. In particular, the content must be practical and relevant, and be presented in a well-documented and thorough manner. We provide here an outline of aspects that are relevant for an experience report. Please use this as a guide in the writing of your paper. Context provide sufficient background and setting so that the reader can understand whether the experience will/won't transfer to his/her situation. Goal/assignment what was supposed to be built or accomplished. How things went at the beginning. What went wrong or was unsatisfactory. How the team changed to repair this. (What went wrong next with that idea.) (How the team changed to repair that.) What happened finally. How you, the author, feel about this now; what you consider was transferrable to your next situation, or would omit the next time. We explicitly aim to acquire submissions from both the industrial practitioners that are able to convey their practical and relevant approaches in a well-structured and useful way, as well as academics whose work is relevant to the practitioner. The track will be a mix of peer-reviewed presentations and invited speakers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] 2. CFP: Special Issue on Component and Service Engineering Datum: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 08:56:21 +0200 (CEST) Von: Klaus Turowski <klaus.turowski(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; 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. Guidelines for authors, including a Word template, are available on the journal's web page: http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MobisPortal, select 'Journal' Papers have to be submitted via the Open Journal System (OJS) at: http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/ojs The usage of the system is described in the author's guide at: http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MobisPortal, select 'Journal', afterwards 'Guidelines for Authors'

Hung <patrick.hung(a)uoit.ca> Antwort an: Patrick C. K. Hung <patrick.hung(a)uoit.ca> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research Special Issue on "eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare" Guest Editors: Carolyn McGregor (University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada) Anthony Maeder, (University of Western Sydney, Australia) Healthcare is often perceived to lag behind other industry sectors in its uptake and adoption of new technology. eHealth is one such technology which includes the areas of health informatics, electronic medical/patient records, clinical decision support, telehealth. The main purpose of eHealth is to provide better use of information in health care settings, to improve the quality of patient care and the efficiency of clinical processes. Many situations exist where the use of eCommerce principles would be appropriate to establish new eHealth solutions, and these warrant extensive research investigation. Services Computing has been described as a �cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of bridging the gap between Business Services and IT Services� (IEEE Services Computing Community). This role is supported by Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modelling, transformation and integration. The goal of Services Computing is to enable IT services and computing technology to perform business services more efficiently and effectively. Opportunities abound for the unique aspects of healthcare to drive fundamental computing and IT research together with leading applied research within the healthcare domain, that could potentially be reapplied to areas outside of healthcare. This special issue invites papers with research contributions in the domain of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare. The topics include but are not limited to: Trends and Challenges for eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare Case Studies in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare Impact and benefits of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare Services Computing for intra and inter organization patient journeys Drivers and Barriers for adoption of Service Oriented Architectures in Healthcare · Usage of mobile devices and patient surveillance systems for Healthcare Services Patient journey modeling in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare Quality of Service and Quality Assurance for eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare Development and deployment of Service Oriented Architectures supporting Healthcare Legal and Regulatory requirements concerning electronic delivery of Healthcare Services New models of healthcare delivery supported by eHealth and/or Services Computing Healthcare Services performance issues (e.g. Availability, Reliability and Security) Management and monitoring of eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare Assessment, evaluation and evidence validation issues for Healthcare Information Systems Design, usability, ethics and other human factor issues for Healthcare Information Systems eHealth DBMS implementation issues including security, portability and mobility Submission: Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas.
