CALL FOR PAPERS of the Special Track "Business Value of Service-Oriented
Architectures" at
The Twenty-First International Conference on Software Engineering and
Knowledge Engineering (SEKE'09) Boston, July 1-3 2009
(URL: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/seke09.html )
SCOPE of the Special Track:
Service-based computing and service-oriented organizational paradigms, often
jointly captured by the term of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), promise
to support the implementation of large-scale business processes and
simultaneously to offer increased flexibility in reacting to changing
processual and market demands. There is many ongoing research on the
technical aspects of effectively designing, implementing and maintaining
SOA, but one of the most fundamental questions has still found scarce
attention: What is the actual Business Value from adopting SOA? And
moreover, how can we evaluate and measure it - ideally before adopting the
service-oriented paradigm both on the business level and on the IT
architecture level. In order to determine the importance of different
aspects of SOA from an economic and strategic perspective, potential
adopters need support in estimating the benefits, risks, and efforts
associated with SOA. This should help aligning business and IT side of the
firm in order to accomplish efficient and effective decision making about
introducing SOA.
This special track is organized in SEKE'09 to bring together researchers and
practitioners from both the service engineering and the business management
side to discuss pressing issues regarding the Business Value of SOA. Topics
of specific interest for this track are:
. Methods to evaluate the Business Value of SOA (such as, economic
evaluation instruments, real-option approaches, etc.)
. Value of SOA-based application integration and legacy applications
. Relationship of SOA and Business/IT Alignment
. Role of SOA for Efficient Business Process Outsourcing
. Determining re-use and re-usability of services
. Migration to SOA-based Enterprise Architectures ("Service-oriented
Enterprise")
. Case studies on determining the Return of implementing SOA
. Methods, frameworks, and tools to assess the business benefits and risks
from running SOA for companies
. Successful application of SOA in the finance industry, logistics,
healthcare
The track is also open for additional related topics not listed, however all
submitted papers should clearly focus on the application in a SOA setting.
IMPORTANT DATES (as for the main conference):
. Paper submission due: March 1, 2009
. Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2009
. Camera-ready copy: May 1, 2009

Betreff: [WI] Last CfP: 5th CIAO! workshop at the CAiSE'09 conference
Datum: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 10:59:10 +0100
Von: Albani Antonia <antonia.albani(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de>
An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de
===================================================================
5th International Workshop on
Cooperation & Interoperability - Architecture & Ontology
(CIAO! 2009)
http://www.ciao.tudelft.nl/index.php?id=55
08 - 09 June 2009
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
To be held in conjunction with the
CAiSE 2009 conference
http://caise09.thenetworkinstitute.eu/
Proceedings published in
Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
(LNBIP)
===================================================================
Motivation
----------
Modern enterprises face a strong economical pressure to increase
competitiveness, to operate on a global market, and to engage in
alliances of several kinds. Agility thus has become the new guiding
principle for enterprises. This requires flexible organizational
structures and business processes, as well as flexible supporting
information systems and a flexible ICT-infrastructure. In addition, an
enterprise needs to be able to easily expand or shrink, be it through
cooperation with other enterprises, through mergers or acquisitions,
or through insourcing or outsourcing of services.
In order to meet these economical requirements, enterprises rely
increasingly on the benefits of modern information and communication
technology (ICT). However, the appropriate knowledge to deploy this
technology as needed, and in an effective and efficient way, is
largely lacking, particularly knowledge regarding the cooperation in
and between enterprises and knowledge regarding the interoperability
of their information systems.
Focus and Goal
--------------
The CIAO! workshop is a leading workshop in the emerging field of
Enterprise Engineering, which is based on the notions of Enterprise
Ontology and Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Ontology is
conceptually defined as (the understanding of) the essence of an
enterprise. Operationally, it is its highest-level constructional
model, completely independent on the way in which it is implemented.
Enterprise Architecture is conceptually defined as the normative
restriction of design freedom. Operationally, it is the set of design
principles that are applicable to the (re)design of the enterprise's
business processes, organization, information systems, etc.
The goal of the workshop is to gather academics and practitioners in
order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences,
and to facilitate profound discussions about these issues, in
particular about the application of the notions of architecture and
ontology in dealing with inter- and intra-organizational business
processes and the interoperability of supporting information systems.
Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes
* Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes
* Cooperation theories (e.g., the language-action-perspective)
* Domain reference ontologies
* Enterprise ontologies
* Enterprise architectures
* Business rules
* Information system ontologies
* Information system architectures
* Component-based system development
* Ontology-based web services
* Interoperability testing and verification
* Service Oriented Architecture
Organization of the Workshop
----------------------------
The CIAO! 2009 workshop is the 5th workshop of a series of successful
workshops. (CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at
the CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences so far.
We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research
projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our
inspiring experience of the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008 workshops, the
CIAO! 2009 workshop is planned again to be a real workshop, providing
ample time for discussions and group works, during two days.
Consequently, the paper presentations will be short, covering only the
highlights. In addition, the focus of discussion will be on CIAO: the
problem areas Cooperation and Interoperability, and the application of
Architecture and Ontology in dealing with them.
We are honored to announce Professor Dr. Robert Winter, full chair of
information management at the University of St. Gallen (HSG) in
Switzerland, as keynote speaker for the 5th CIAO! workshop.

======================= CALL FOR PAPERS ============================
Information Systems Frontiers
Special Issue on Terrorism Informatics
Since September 11th, the multidisciplinary field of terrorism informatics
has experienced tremendous growth, and research communities as well as
local, state, and national governments are facing increasingly more
complex and challenging issues. The challenges facing the intelligence and
national security communities worldwide include accurately and efficiently
monitoring, analyzing, predicting and preventing terrorist activities.
The development and use of advanced information technologies, including
methodologies, models and algorithms, infrastructure, systems, and tools
for national/international and homeland security related applications have
provided promising new directions for study.
Terrorism informatics has been defined as the application of advanced
methodologies, information fusion and analysis techniques to acquire,
integrate process, analyze, and manage the diversity of terrorism-related
information for international and homeland security-related applications.
It is a highly interdisciplinary and comprehensive field. The wide variety
of methods used in terrorism informatics are derived from Computer
Science, Informatics, Statistics, Mathematics, Linguistics, Social
Sciences, and Public Policy, and these methods are involved in the

Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: The 2nd International Workshop on

Call for Papers
2nd International Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing
(Resilience 2009)
http://xcr.cenit.latech.edu/resilience2009
in conjunction with the
International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC)
June 9-13, 2009 Munich, Germany
Recent trends in high-performance computing (HPC) systems have clearly
indicated that future increases in performance, in excess of those
resulting from improvements in single-processor performance, will be
achieved through corresponding increases in system scale, i.e., using a
significantly larger component count. As the raw computational
performance of the world's fastest HPC systems increases from today's
current tera-scale to next-generation peta-scale capability and beyond,
their number of computational, networking, and storage components will
grow from the ten-to-one-hundred thousand compute nodes of today's
systems to several hundreds of thousands of compute nodes and more in
the foreseeable future. This substantial growth in system scale, and the
resulting component count, poses a challenge for HPC system and
application software with respect to fault tolerance and resilience.
Furthermore, recent experiences on extreme-scale HPC systems with
non-recoverable soft errors, i.e., bit flips in memory, cache,
registers, and logic added another major source of concern. The
probability of such errors not only grows with system size, but also
with increasing architectural vulnerability caused by employing
accelerators, such as FPGAs and GPUs, and by shrinking nanometer
technology. Reactive fault tolerance technologies, such as
checkpoint/restart, are unable to handle high failure rates due to
associated overheads, while proactive resiliency technologies, such as
preemptive migration, simply fail as random soft errors can't be
predicted. Moreover, soft errors may even remain undetected resulting in
silent data corruption.
The goal of this Workshop is to bring together experts in the area of fault
tolerance and resiliency for HPC to present the latest achievements and to
discuss the challenges ahead. Accepted papers will be included with the HPDC
conference proceedings published by ACM. Resilience 2009 is the follow-on to the
successful Resilience 2008 workshop <http://xcr.cenit.latech.edu/resilience2008>
held in conjunction with CCGrid in Lyon, France.

===================================================
Provenance in Practice Workshop 2009 (PPW '09)
Colocated with NbiS 2009
Indianapolis, USA, 19-21 August 2009
===================================================
http://stan.cc.swin.edu.au/~samar/ppw09/
Overview
========
Provenance and related issues have gathered interest in the e-Research
community. These include mechanisms to validate data that is generated
through in silico experiments, to provide the context of the data and to
help interpretation of experiments to name a few.
Provenance is not a new concept and has been used in historical studies
for centuries. However, the new context of e-Research where the
provenance concept needs to be applied, poses new challenges, which need
to be solved as a multi-disciplinary effort.
In this workshop, we invite authors to submit their work on provenance
in e-Research. As it is a relatively new area, the workshop aims to
provide a place to discuss challenges, issues and success stories that
authors may have so far experienced.
The workshop encourages submissions from the end users of provenance
systems such as those used in computational chemistry, physics, biology,
history, etc. The submission should discuss the provenance requirements
of their domain and experiences in using existing provenance system.
It is envisaged that the workshop will be a meeting place of the
providers (computer scientists) and the users of the provenance system
where lively discussion can take place.
Topics
======
Topics of interest to the workshop include:
- Provenance requirements from different domains (chemistry, physics,
arts, scientific publication, etc).
- Data provenance
- Process/Workflow provenance
- Storing, querying and visualisation of provenance data
- System prototypes
- Contemporary issues and challenges in provenance practice and research
