-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Domain Engineering workshop at CAiSE'09 Datum: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 02:09:46 -0500 Von: Iris Reinhartz-Berger <iris.rberger(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Iris Reinhartz-Berger <iris.rberger(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% DE@CAiSE'09 Workshop on Domain Engineering In Conjunction with CAiSE�09 June 9th, Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://www.bgu.ac.il/~sturm/DE@CAiSE09/ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: February 16th 2009 Notification of acceptance: March 23rd 2009 Camera-ready papers due: April 13th 2009 Workshop: June 9th 2009 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Domain Engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with building reusable assets, such as specification sets, patterns, and components, in specific domains. A domain in this context can be defined as an area of knowledge that uses common concepts for describing phenomena, requirements, problems, capabilities, and solutions. The purpose of domain engineering is to identify, model, construct, catalog, and disseminate artifacts that represent the commonalities and differences within a domain. Although applicable to different engineering disciplines, domain engineering methods has been recently receiving special attention in the information systems era. Some of the reasons for this interest are the increasing variability of applications, the need to obtain and share expertise in different, evolving domains, and the trend towards reusing IS artifacts and knowledge about them. Domain engineering addresses two main layers: the domain layer, which deals with the representation of domain elements, and the application layer, which deals with information systems artifacts related to the domain. More specifically, information systems applications, their components, and their descriptions are included in the application layer, whereas their common and variable characteristics, as can be described, for example, by ontologies or emerging standards, are generalized and presented in the domain layer. Similarly to information systems engineering, domain engineering includes three main activities: domain analysis, domain design, and domain implementation, which are carried out in the domain layer. However, domain engineering also supports inter-layer activities, namely interactions that exist between the domain and application layers. Specifically, domain layer artifacts may be used for creation and validation of the specifications of application layer artifacts, while applications may be generalized into domain artifacts in a process of knowledge elicitation. Domain engineering as a discipline has practical significance as it deals with methods and techniques that may help reduce time-to-market, product cost, and projects risks on one hand, and improve product quality and performance on the other hand. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of domain engineering in order to define the topic, identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions, and discuss visions for the future of the area. In particular, the workshop will focus on the interaction between information systems engineering and domain engineering. TOPICS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to: · Conceptual foundations of domain engineering · Methods and techniques to support domain engineering · Ontology engineering · Development and management of domain assets · Domain-driven requirements engineering · Application derivation (i.e., how to use domain artifacts in the application layer) · Variability management · Domain engineering techniques in support of reuse, validation, and knowledge management · Theoretical and empirical evaluation of domain engineering methods and techniques · Case studies and practice reports related to domain engineering SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to the purpose of the workshop.

To date, the development of standards, such as the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA), along with the introduction of new paradigms, such as the Semantic Grid, is leading the Grid toward an environment that is not only suited for computational-intensive applications, but also for computing scenarios typical of distributed systems, like service and information providing, multimedia environments, ubiquitous computing, etc. For these and other reasons, the Grid is becoming an interesting and challenging environment supporting both old and new services for cooperative applications. A relevant research effort is thus needed not only to investigate innovative Grid infrastructures but also to make the current Grid model suitable for these emerging usage scenarios. The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers working on different emerging Grid computing aspects relevant to enterprise collaboration, covering issues ranging from the middleware layer to application development and user interaction. The goals of the workshop include (but are not limited to) discovering new application scenarios, proposing new programming abstractions and tools, identifying the challenging problem that still need to be solved, and reporting results and experiences gained by researchers in building Grid-based middleware, applications and alike. Submission Requirements ----------------------- Participants are expected to submit an original research paper or a position paper, not submitted or published elsewhere, by email to <etngrid(a)diit.unict.it>. Submission should include the title of the paper, the names and affiliations of the authors, a 150-word abstract and at most eight keywords. Submission should follow the IEEE format (single spaced, two columns, 10pt, Times font) and not exceed six pages, including figures. Accepted papers will be published along with the WETICE 2009 post-proceedings. The paper should be in either PS or PDF format. Papers must focus on collaborative aspects of the Grid, including, but not limiting to, the following topics: * Middlewares for the Grid * Multimedia applications with the Grid * Reflective and Aspect-Oriented Grid systems * Reliability and Quality-of-Service aspects * Wireless and ubiquitous access to the Grid * Cooperative Agents and the Grid * Grids and Peer-to-peer systems * Web integration with the Grid * Peer-to-peer and self-organizing approaches for the Grid * Abstractions and tools for collaborative application development in Grid environments * Semantic Grid * Experience reports on collaborative application development in Grid * Scalability and Performance issues in the Grid * Analysis of stability and bottlenecks for Grid applications * Resource-aware applications in the Grid * Architectures for Grid-oriented applications * Security and Verification Issues in Large Distributed Systems Important Dates --------------- * Deadline for paper submission: February 20, 2009 * Decision to Authors: March 13, 2009 * Final papers in PDF format to IEEE: April 10, 2009 Program Co-Chairs ----------------- Angelo Corsaro, Prismtech, France Antonella Di Stefano, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Giuseppe Pappalardo, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Corrado Santoro, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Emiliano Tramontana, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Publicity Co-Chair ------------------ Giovanni Morana, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Luigi Toscano, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Program Committee Members (pending confirmation) ------------------------------------------------ Mauro Andreolini ........

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: "Information systems and society: Digital divide, e-skills and IT induced social inequality", AMCIS 2009 Datum: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 11:44:45 +0100 Von: Brandtweiner, Roman <Roman.Brandtweiner(a)wu-wien.ac.at> Antwort an: Brandtweiner, Roman <Roman.Brandtweiner(a)wu-wien.ac.at> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> **************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS "Information systems and society: Digital divide, e-skills and IT induced social inequality" Minitrack at 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) August 6-9 2009, San Fransisco, California, http://amcis2009.org/ This minitrack is part of the "Social Issues in IS" track. **************************************************** Description: During the last few decades countries everywhere around the globe have shown increasing growth in computer and internet usage as well as a raising use of modern telecommunication facilities. Nevertheless, we can observe a slow down in the rate of growth and a persistent number of people not using these new technologies. This is not only due to effects of saturation, but also to the so-called "digital divide" which addresses primarily inequalities in internet access and differences in usage skills regarding the so called "second order digital divide". Considering the large number of public access places (especially in developed countries), access to the internet becomes at least hypothetically possible for almost everybody. Access alone does not guarantee the usage of internet. Literacy and social support play a vital role as research has already acknowledged. When considering the internet not only as an administrative tool but also as a new media, the concept of e-literacy has to be extended from mere technical skills and basic handling towards media competence in general. Therefore we want to invite especially researchers working on the relationship between digital divide and e-literacy in order to collect systematically current results on this issue. Besides contributions presenting theoretical approaches and methodological considerations, we are especially interested in papers reporting on concrete consequences of the digital divide on life chances and therefore inequalities in a society. Past experiences as well as new perspectives can be reported either from a scientific (empirical results) or a practitioner's perspective (case studies, best practice models, lessons learned). Closely linked to the usage and non-usage of IS/IT are transformations of social and economic structures, appearance of new social inequalities (employability, income ect.), and general changes in the society due to the existence, use, and abandonment of IS/IT. This mini track serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and innovative interdisciplinary approaches of IS research for coping with current and future challenges of the discipline from a social science perspective. We invite work-in-progress or completed research that supports a better understanding of the impact of IS/IT on social as well as economic structures and the society in general. The topics of this Mini Track include but are not limited to: * Social, political and economic impact of IS/IT * Computer literacy, media competence, and digital divide issues * Technology acceptance and the digital divide in specific social groups and industries * Theoretical approaches towards e-skills and measurement of e-skills (empirical studies and case studies, triangulation studies, Comparative studies) * Best practice models of initiatives addressing e-skills * E-Skills and employability * E-skills, income and individual careers * Staff members' e-skills and its influence on productivity and efficiency of the company * Secure usage through e-literacy * Role of social and economic support on acquiring e-literacy * Private vs. public learning (responsibility of governments and individuals) and relevance of e-learning * Barriers & drivers for the broad adoption of IS/IT among citizens * Models for IS/IT induced social/economic change and IS/IT induced transformation of social/economic structures * The relationships of individuals, groups and communities and their technology induced transformation Papers will be peer-reviewed using a double-blind system and will be considered for Best Paper Awards.

[Fwd: [isworld] Second CFP: The Third International Workshop on RFID Technology - Concepts, Applications, Challenges]
by Gustaf Neumann 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Second CFP: The Third International Workshop on RFID Technology - Concepts, Applications, Challenges Datum: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 04:33:14 -0500 Von: Yanbo WU <yanbo.wu(a)adelaide.edu.au> Antwort an: Yanbo WU <yanbo.wu(a)adelaide.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The Third International Workshop on RFID Technology - Concepts, Applications, Challenges (IWRT'09) 6-7 May 2009, Milan, Italy http://www.iceis.org/Workshops/iwrt/iwrt2009-cfp.htm In conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS'09) Workshop Background and Goals ----------------------------- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are emerging as one of the most pervasive computing technologies due to their low cost and their broad applicability. RFID systems consist of tiny integrated circuits equipped with antennas (RFID tags) that communicate with their reading devices (RFID readers) using radio-frequency waves without line of sight. This creates tremendous opportunities for linking various objects from real world. These objects are numbered, identified, cataloged, and tracked. RFID systems present many advantages and features that cannot be found in other ubiquitous computing environments. RFID communication is fast, convenient and its application can substantially save time, improve services, reduce labor cost, thwart product counterfeiting and theft, increase productivity gains and maintain quality standards. Common applications range from highway toll collection, supply chain management, public transportation,controlling building access, animal trac! king, developing smart home appliances and remote keyless entry for automobiles to locating children. In addition, RFID technology also offers a viable approach to implement physical user interfaces. The services available in the local environment are advertised by RFID tags. Users browse the services and activate the desired service by simply touching the corresponding tag with a mobile terminal that is equipped with an RFID reader. In the near future, these user interfaces would introduce RFID tags into our everyday lives. While RFID provides promising benefits such as inventory visibility and business process automation, some significant challenges need to be overcome before these benefits can be realized. One important issue is how to process and manage RFID data, which is typically in large volume, noisy and unreliable, time-dependent, dynamically changing, and of varying ownership. Another issue is how to seamlessly integrate low-level RFID data into (existing) enterprise information infrastructures (e.g., upper-level business processes). Finally, RFID systems present a number of inherent vulnerabilities with serious potential security implications. Indeed, given the ability of inexpensively tagging and thus monitoring a large number of items and/or people, RFID raises some serious security and privacy concerns. RFID systems are vulnerable to a broad range of malicious attacks ranging from passive eavesdropping to active interference. RFID privacy and security are stimulating research are! as that involve rich interplay among many disciplines, such as signal processing, hardware design, supply-chain logistics, privacy rights, and cryptography. The workshop's objective is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners, and users to exchange new ideas, developments, and experience on issues related to this emerging field. Topics of Interest ---------------------- We welcome papers that focus on novel RFID technologies and applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Data management issues in RFID applications Innovative RFID-enabled applications RFID and physical user interfaces Security/privacy and RFID RFID and sensor networks Web services and RFID RFID and semantic Web RFID standards RFID case studies and field trials RFID middleware Next generation RFID technologies Commercial experience with RFID RFID network management COTS and Open Source RFID infrastructure Integration of RFID with other applications Performance evaluation Business process redesign and RFID Intrusion Detection in RFID systems Behavior analysis Situation awareness Submission and Review of Papers -------------------------------- All papers must be written in English. Papers should be prepared in postscript, PDF, or Word and should be submitted through ICEIS web-based paper submission system. All the submitted papers will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. We will also implement a rebuttal phase during the paper selection process. Authors will be invited to supply a response to the reviewers' comments. The paper selection will be based on both reviewers' comments and authors' responses. Format of the Workshop ------------------------ The workshop will consist of oral presentations.

Opdahl A Two-phase Authentication Protocol Using the Cell Phone as a Token Carl Adams and Alexandros Dimitriou SVDC: Preserving Privacy in Clustering using Singular Value Decomposition N. Maheswari and K. Duraiswamy Expert Opinion: Interview with Alan T. Lord, Ernst and Young Professor of Accounting and Director Valrie Chambers Book Review: Security Metrics - Replacing Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt by Andrew Jaquithy Tim Klaus ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* Editorial Preface from the current Issue: Although we have quite a long delay for the second issue of the year (blame Hurricane Ike), all three articles published in this issue are quite interesting. As information privacy and security issues become more difficult to maintain, it is more vital for an organization to define and address necessary elements that can mitigate these violations. The three articles each suggest various techniques, methods, and potential research evaluation for identifying threats and "concealing information" effectively to improve privacy and security. The first article, "Misuse Cases for Identifying System Dependability Threats" by Guttorm Sindre and Andreas L. Opdahl reviews current stages of techniques implemented for misuse case analysis. The authors present a review for early elicitation of security-related threats and requirements to information systems. By analyzing prior studies, the authors delve further into the application of misuse cases on other factors and point out potential considerations in misuse cases. Their findings indicate that the technique can be further explored and developed, and given the swift adaptation among the research population. The authors conclude that the technique is easy to understand and use, thus satisfies perceived need. The authors suggest that industries develop standards and security tools or misuse templates. They also recommend academic researchers to participate in the early planning stages of development projects where security issues are central. The second article, "A Two-phase Authentication Protocol Using the Cell Phone as a Token" by Carl Adams and Alexandros Dimitriou provides an overall examination of the weaknesses intrinsic to accessibility of resources when using mobile phones as proof of identity. The authors discuss the need for authentication with remote access to resources and develop a model for a "two-phase authentication protocol". They sustain that the protocol presented in this article should provide a simplistic alternative when compared to others, as it contains a wider range of applications extending inclusively to its use of smart cards while increasing user security. The third article, "SVDC: Preserving Privacy in Clustering using Singular Value Decomposition" by Maheswari Rajavel and Duraiswamy Karuppuswamy analyses the Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM) concept that emerged from privacy protection issues of unauthorized access from a national security and a business transaction perspective. Based on the concerns that emerge from this concept, the considerations for data distortion were the element that provided incentive for this study. Therefore, the authors focus on "privacy preserving data clustering" and propose the "Singular Value Decomposition Clustering" (SVDC) method to comply with the privacy necessities by deforming the private numeric characteristics. This method is subject to study using the original database and quantifying the amount of information that is preserved when the database is transformed. Hence, the authors' focal point aims at the provision of the precise data for the clustering analysis and in addition to the protection of individual data records. The results demonstrate that the method suggested should be useful among organizations aiding them to transfer sensitive data in a secure manner by providing an increased degree of data distortion. In the Expert Opinion section conducted by Valrie Chambers, Alan T. Lord, Ernst and Young Professor of Accounting and Director, Bowling Green State University, discusses the meanings and importance of IT audits. He suggests important ideas that industry professionals and academics in the privacy and security area might want to take into the consideration. In the Book Review section, Tim Klaus reviews the book entitled Security Metrics - Replacing Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt by Andrew Jaquithy. According to his opinion, this book presents many practical suggestions helpful in providing ideas relevant to many business environments. He also notes that although the book provides many useful analogies and tools, readers may be left to consider how metrics can be better incorporated into their company's unique environment. Finally, I wish everyone a great and happy holiday season! Chuleeporn Changchit December 2008 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
