Conference Theme ------------------- EuroSPI is unique in the way it brings both communities, researchers and industry, together. It is also unique in the way that we produce two proceedings, research papers with Springer and industry/experience papers with Wiley.Thus researchers are asked to write scientific papers with a practical background which could be re-used in industry. Thus industry experts are asked to write experience / industry papers With a vision which could fruitfully push the ideas of researchers again.This background corresponds with the theme as follows: - "Experiences with the Implementation": It is not enough to describe a new method or idea. We need proof or case studies that the method worked. - "Improvement and Innovation ": The applied methods and techniques shall have a focus on innovating and improving processes and products. - "Related Benefits in the Organisation": The papers shall outline the measured / analysed benefit for the organisation. 2. Conference Topics -------------------- Assessment and Process Models ISO 15504 IEC 61508 ISO 15288 ITIL Agile Development Global Software Development Outsourcing Strategies Experiences in Branches Automotive Finance Medical Software Development Improvement Case Studies Implementing SPICE Implementing Safety Requirements Management Testing Design Knowledge Management Team Learning Measurement Configuration Management Risk Management Requirements Elicitation 3.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: "Social Network Analysis in IS Research", AMCIS 2009, August 6-9 2009, San Fransisco Datum: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 15:54:29 +0100 Von: Kai Fischbach <fischbach(a)wim.uni-koeln.de> An: <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org>, <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> +++ Please excuse cross-postings +++ **************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS "Social Network Analysis in IS Research" Minitrack at 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) August 6-9 2009, San Fransisco, California http://amcis2009.org/ **************************************************** The term social network denotes the social structure that emerges from human actors' interaction with each other. Over the years, scholars in the domain of anthropology, sociology, psychology and organizational theory have proposed different methods and techniques to discover these structures and to allow inferences about functioning of social networks. These methods and techniques are generally summarized under the term social network analysis (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). The rise of web 2.0 and social networking sites in the internet have recently fostered various trends in scientific research about social networks. For example, sociological researchers, who have traditionally been dealing with SNA, started relying on methods from computer science to handle large amounts of electronically stored data, and IS and management scholars called their attention to SNA research and started integrating their own methods of data collection and analysis. Terms including web science (Berners-Lee et al. 2006) and web mining among others may serve as labels for these various research streams. The AMCIS 2009 minitrack on social network analysis focuses on contributions of social network analysis (SNA) in IS research. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - network evolution / dynamic social network analysis - exponential random graph (p*) models / simulation investigation for empirical network analysis (SIENA) - models accounting for network autocorrelation - scale-free networks - relationship between structural properties of social networks and individual / group / organizational performance - web science / webometrics - web mining / trend identification - analysis of social networking sites in the internet - semantic network analysis / content analysis - citation- and coauthorship-networks - case studies of organizations employing SNA to manage knowledge flows - collaborative innovation networks, communities of practice - netnography - intercorporate networks - social capital - decision support systems employing SNA - new data collection methods (social badges etc.) - methods and tools for network visualization - algorithms for analyzing social networks The minitrack is interdisciplinary in nature. We will invite contributions from a broad spectrum including information systems, computer science, economics, management, sociology, psychology, anthropology, biology and physics in order to fully incorporate the methodological, technical as well economic aspects of social network analysis. We also invite practitioners that will enrich the discussions through their experiences with business applications of social networking sites. Papers will be peer-reviewed using a double-blind system and will be considered for Best Paper Awards. In 2009, a Best Paper Award for a practitioner-oriented paper will be selected with input from CIOs. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Opens: January 2, 2009 Papers Due: February 20, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 2, 2009 Camera Ready Copy Due: April 20, 2009 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION Please submit final papers via Manuscript Central. (For more details see http://amcis2009.org/). Please note that this minitrack is part of the “Ecommerce and Ebusiness” track (SIGeBiz) and not of the “Social Issues in IS” track due to historical reasons.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Special Issue of Electronic Government, An International Journal Datum: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 11:30:04 -0500 Von: Vikas Jain <vjain(a)ut.edu> Antwort an: Vikas Jain <vjain(a)ut.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS: Special issue of Electronic Government, An International Journal on "E-Government: Past, Present, and Future" Guest Editors: Dr. Vikas Jain, University of Tampa, USA Dr. Yogesh Dwivedi, Swansea University, UK Dr. Shirish C. Srivastava, HEC School of Management, France Dr. Mohini Singh, RMIT University, Australia E-government is an emerging paradigm to deliver government services to citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders through the use of Internet and information and communication technologies (ICTs). E-government is an extension of e-business applications to the public sector. Increased adoption and application of e-government across countries is being propelled by its potential to offer not only a convenient service to citizens but also related benefits such as reduced transaction costs and enhanced operational efficiency. Further, e-government can help to improve e-governance. Consequently, e-government is being increasingly regarded as a panacea for overcoming many of the shortcomings of the traditional government set-up. Over years, e-government development has transitioned from cataloguing, transaction processing to vertical and horizontal integration in both developed and developing nations. The evolution of e-government from the informational interfaces of the yesteryears to the transformational applications of today has in large measures been influenced by many of the contingent environmental factors. The development of e-government has not been uniform across the world. For example, there are only a few countries like Singapore, Canada and the USA which lead the e-government initiatives across the world. Most nations are still struggling with their e-government programs. Despite their tremendous transformational potential, the evidence about the success of e-government efforts across various countries is mostly sporadic and diffused. Consequently, the full potential of e-government remains largely unexploited. Almost a decade after the first e-government implementations in the world were initiated, it is an opportune time to reflect on the past and present so that the future of e-government can be charted. There is a need to examine issues surrounding e-government today and challenges for the future. The e-government evolutionary models of the past may have become redundant in the face of rapidly changing technological options. The objective of this special issue is to provide an outlet for publishing original research highlighting current issues related to technical, organisational, managerial and socio-economic aspects of e-sovernment adoption, evolution, implementation and impact.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 5th High-End Visualization Workshop Datum: Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:41:49 +0100 Von: Werner Benger <werner(a)cct.lsu.edu> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ***NOTE: New Dates Announced--March 18-21, 2009*** **PLEASE DISTRIBUTE** 5th High-End Visualization Workshop (sponsored by the Center for Computation & Technology at LSU) Date: March 18-21, 2009 Location: Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA Open issues in visualization with special concentration on applications in astrophysics, numerical relativity, computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing. PROGRAM: Open issues in visualization with special concentration on applications in astrophysics, numerical relativity, computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing. This workshop is the fifth one in a series of meetings among researchers in the field of scientific visualization and end-users from application areas with needs for high-end visualizations of their data. Previous events took place in Obergurgl, Austria, hosted by the University of Innsbruck. This year, for the first time, it will take place in Louisiana. This year's feature: Remote and Collaborative Visualization With the technological resources of networking resources, scientific visualization is no longer not only bound to local desktop machines, but it has even become mandatory to utilize the ability to connect to other resources. On the one hand, the sheer amount of data from modern supercomputing simulation makes it impossible to transfer all data to a single machine or even laptop, and the scientists face the question how to inspect their data without loosing possibly important details. On the other hand, with collaborations among the globe, it is as relevant to share views of data same as sending emails or browsing websites. Yet, no such technology exists for scientific data. We intend to discuss current implementations, visions for future directions and what the highest demands and possible bottlenecks are for such technology. This workshop is inter-disciplinary by nature, and as we do every year, we also encourage contributions that are outside the focus topic. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Remote visualization servers * Collaborative visualization * Interoperability among different visualization software * Distributed and parallel visualization * Scalability of visualization algorithms * Existing visualization frameworks (e.g., VTK, Amira, Chombovis) and their support for remote and collaborative visualization * Workflow management systems and integrability with visualization software * Demands and constraints as seen from end-users * Availability of Grid technologies for visualization, in particular interactive SUBMISSION: We invite authors to submit original and unpublished work (also not submitted elsewhere for review) reporting solid and innovative results and positions on any of the conference topics. Papers should not exceed 10 single-spaced pages of text using 10-point size type on 8.3 x 11.7 inch (A4) paper, no columns. All bibliographical references, tables, and figures must be included in these 10 pages. Submissions that exceed the 10-page limit will not be reviewed. Authors should submit a PDF file. Electronic submission is required, to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vizworkshop08 . Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper if it is accepted. See important dates above for submission deadlines. PROCEEDINGS: All submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings will be distributed at the event. IMPORTANT DATES: (Note: NEW DATES BELOW) * Full paper due: January 30, 2009 * Notification of acceptance: February 18, 2009 * Final papers due: February 22, 2009 REGISTRATION: FREE, but you must register by March 2, 2009 ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE: Werner Benger, Center for Computation & Technology at Louisiana State University (CCT/LSU), Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA Simon Su, Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE), Princeton University Karen Jones, Center for Computation & Technology at Louisiana State University (CCT/LSU), Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA Wolfgang Kapferer, Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria Wolfram Schoor, Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation, Magdeburg, Germany Mayank Tyagi, Center for Computation & Technology at Louisiana State University (CCT/LSU), Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA Gunther H.

[Fwd: [isworld] CfP AMCIS 2009 Mini-track "Enterprise Systems Governance"]

This one is here to stay _____________________________________________ Call for Papers for the AMCIS 2009 Mini Track 'Enterprise Systems Governance' (part of the 'Enterprise Systems (SIG EntSys)' track) AMCIS - Americas Conference on Information Systems San Francisco, USA, August 6-9, 2009 http://www.amcis2009.org Enterprise Systems (ES) are typically understood as bundles of technology and business knowledge which integrate all facets of the enterprise to support operations and management holistically. Being off-the-shelf software ES have to be adapted to the user's organization. With the recent trend to offer ES based on the principles of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), this adaptation faces a paradigmatically different set of challenges. The boundaries of SOA-based ES continuously dissolve and services are invoked across enterprises. Service calls are nested within processes which also often transcend the boundaries of a single organization, leading to so-called cross-organizational business processes. Diligent governance has been recognized in recent years as a major requirement for successful adaptation and operation of an SOA, especially for large ES. Governance in this changing world of service-enabled ES needs to encompass guidelines and rules which can be adopted and realized by the affected management processes. Governance must focus on the adoption and operation of an SOA as part of the enterprise architecture of a company. It must provide guidelines and mechanisms to ensure the integrity of an SOA and its adaptability to business and administration processes. New challenges emerge, e.g. through a change in roles and responsibilities, service lifecycles, standards, and finance. In order to provide homogenization of these issues, new governance approaches and corresponding applications have to be developed. But in order to be effective, the central challenge is to guarantee compliance to legal, technical as well as internal regulations. This mini-track deals with the application and support of governance in service-enabled Enterprise Systems. It welcomes papers from academia as well as practice. Best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to AIS Transactions on Enterprise Systems. Suggested Topics: * Governance approaches for SOA architectures and enterprise services * Governance frameworks, processes, and maturity models * Governance measures and KPI's * Repurposing of existing governance frameworks such ITIL or COBIT for SOA * Case studies of the development, implementation, adoption and maintenance of supply chain software as well as governance approaches Important Dates: * February 20, 2009 Deadline for Paper Submission * April 2, 2009 Notification of Paper Acceptance * April 20, 2009 Camera Ready Copy Due Mini-track Chair(s): * Christian Janiesch, SAP Research CEC Brisbane, SAP Australia Pty Ltd, Australia, e-mail: c.janiesch(a)sap.com, Tel.: +61 7325 99547 * Nicolas Repp, Multimedia Communications Lab - KOM, Technische Universität Darmstadt, e-mail: nicolas.repp(a)kom.tu-darmstadt.de, Tel.: +49 6151 16-6156 Mini-track account: contact.trackchair(a)gmail.com The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
