-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2nd CfP AMCIS 2009 Mini Track on Semantic Web and Information Systems Datum: Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:04:05 +0100 Von: Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen <vossen(a)helios.uni-muenster.de> Antwort an: Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen <vossen(a)helios.uni-muenster.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CC: Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen <vossen(a)uni-muenster.de> Referenzen: <281AF446-0B74-4834-95D2-6FA9A8BD5F4D@mimectl> Second Call for Papers Mini Track on Semantic Web and Information Systems AMCIS - 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems San Francisco, CA, August 6-9, 2009 http://www.amcis2009.org<http://www.amcis2009.org/> Purpose In the past few years, the Semantic Web communities have brought to maturity a comprehensive set of foundational technology components, both at the conceptual level and in the form of prototypes and software. This includes, among other assets, ontology engineering methodologies, standardized ontology languages, ontology engineering tools, and other infrastructure like APIs, repositories, and scalable reasoners, plus a plethora of work for making the so-called Deep Web and computational functionality in the form of Web 2.0 services accessible at a semantic level. Indeed, ontologies, understood as consensual models of a domain of discourse with some degree of formal semantics, are a research topic of growing interest in several research communities; their potential contribution to core problems of Information Systems as a discipline is widely acknowledged. However, Semantic Web technology is only recently being picked up by Information Systems researchers and practitioners, despite the fact that many problems of data and process management in enterprises and value chains can be traced back to representational mismatches. On the other hand, we can observe that the Semantic Web research communities in Computer Science have not yet addresses the economic dimensions and the conceptual complexity of real-world integration challenges. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the following research communities and practitioner groups: Business Process Management, Civil Engineering, Conceptual Modeling, Data and Knowledge Engineering, E-commerce and E-business, E- government, Knowledge Management, Management Information Systems, Ontologies in Computer Science, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services, Software Engineering, Web 2.0 community. This conference track is intended as a venue for research that transfers the foundational research from the Semantic Web movement into the Information Systems domain, and extends the state of the art in ontology research by explicitly considering the economic dimension. Suggested Topics We are looking for submissions covering topics including, but not limited to the following: 1. Cost and benefit models for using ontologies in Information Systems; 2. Ontology-based content integration tasks in business and public sector applications, e.g., catalog data integration, spending analysis, corporate search; 3. Semantic business process management; 4. Ontologies in modeling and systems analysis; 5. Semantics-supported Business Intelligence (BI); 6. Ontology support for a. Corporate Knowledge Management, b. Customer Relationship Management (CRM), c. Decision Support Systems, d. E-procurement, e. Enterprise Application Integration, f. Web services matching, g. Human Resources Management, h. Legal Applications, i. Specification and Monitoring of Service-Level Agreements, and j. Supply Chain Management.

[Fwd: [isworld] Trading Agent Competition 2009: Call for Participation]
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Trading Agent Competition 2009: Call for Participation Datum: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:01:26 +0100 Von: Wolf Ketter <WKetter(a)rsm.nl> Antwort an: Wolf Ketter <WKetter(a)rsm.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Participation Trading Agent Competition (TAC) - 2009 The Tenth Annual Trading Agent Competition - Call for Participation July 13 - 15, 2009 Pasadena, CA, USA Collocated with IJCAI-09 Trading in electronic markets is increasingly becoming both a commonplace economic activity and a topic of special interest within the AI, Electronic Commerce, and Multiagent Systems (MAS) research communities. We invite you to participate in the Tenth Annual Trading Agent Competition (TAC-09), to be held in June and July of 2009, with the finals taking place during the IJCAI-09 conference in Pasadena, preceded by qualifying and seeding rounds in June and July. Building on the success of previous Trading Agent Competition events, this year's event is again designed to spur research on common problems, promote definitions of benchmarks and standard problem descriptions, and showcase current technologies. The competition will pit software agents -- developed by research groups, students, and others from all over the world -- against each other in challenging market games. This year, there will be two games, and two related challenge events: 1. TAC Ad Auctions (AA). In the new TAC/AA game, agents representing Internet advertisers bid for search-engine ad placement over a range of interrelated keyword combinations. A back-end search-user model translates placement over each simulated day to impressions, clicks, and sale conversions, yielding revenue for the advertiser. Advertiser strategies combining online data analysis and bidding tac tics compete to maximize profit over the simulated campaign horizon. 2. TAC Market Design (reverse TAC, or "CAT"). CAT software agents represent market makers whose goals are to attract potential buyers and sellers as customers, and then to match buyers with sellers. The market makers compete with one another in doing this, such as the London Stock Exchange competes with the NYSE for the business of stock traders. 3. TAC Supply Chain Management (SCM). TAC/SCM simulates a dynamic supply chain environment where agents compete to secure customer orders and components required for production of these orders. The game captures many of the complexities of actual supply chains, where both demand and supply fluctuate and each manufacturer has limited production capacity. Participants also have the option of entering two SCM Challenge events: a Procurement Challenge and a Prediction Challenge. The market games have been specially designed to present agents with difficult decision problems and admit a wide variety of potential bidding and negotiation strategies. Preliminary documentation and software for participating in the AA Tournament are accessible at: http://aa.tradingagents.org/ Preliminary documentation and software for participating in the CAT Tournament are accessible via sourceforge. Access details and other CAT information is available at: http://www.marketbasedcontrol.com/blog/index.php?page_id=5 Documentation and open source software for participating in TAC SCM, including servers and sample agents, are available for download at: http://www.sics.se/tac/ The qualifying and seeding rounds will be held in June and July, and the first day of the final rounds is scheduled to coincide with the Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA) workshop to be held at IJCAI-09. To register for TAC-09, please fill out the registration form at: http://www.sics.se/tac/intent.php The entry fee will be US$250 per team to enter one game, or $400 for all TAC games. For TAC SCM the entry fee is the same independently of the number of challenge events in which a team competes. The entry fee is waived for teams who send a representative to the TAC finals at IJCAI-09, if that representative registers for the TADA workshop. A given individual may represent one team for one game. Note: Please send any questions regarding the fees to tac [at] tradingagents.org. Groups unable to afford the entry fee may also contact tac [at] tradingagents.org for special consideration. General information about TAC can be found at: http://www.sics.se/tac/ Exact dates for the qualifying and seeding rounds will soon be posted on this site. More information about the Trading Agent Analysis and Design (TADA) workshop is available at: http://tada2009.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Information about the Association for Trading Agent Research running TAC is available at: http://tradingagents.org Please circulate this announcement to anyone who may be interested in participating.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP AMCIS 2009 MINI-TRACK 'THE LESS TRAVELLED BRIDGES OF IT SERVICES']

(Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken) IT Services, IT Governance, Service Management, and many other related concepts have developed in recent years into a field of burgeoning activity, spanning both practice and research. An analysis of the literature produced in this emerging field shows that a solid mainstream of theory and practice is progressively becoming established. Up to now, this mainstream seems to attach special attention to a set of well delimited concerns, such as strategic alignment, performance management, resource management, value delivery, and risk management, as well as to the adoption of frameworks and standards such as ITIL or COBIT. However, with relatively few exceptions, this mainstream seems to attach less importance to a variety of issues that have been concerning the Information Systems community for decades, such as the socio-technical dimension of IS, or the roles of culture, politics, innovation, complexity, sense-making, or ethics. As the advancement of service-oriented architectures brings to the boardroom and to the upper levels of management new visions about the role of IT in recasting the business and mastering differently the organizational issues, the importance of the socio- technical dimension of IT Services and the increased relevance of other issues currently absent from the IT Services discussion call for new contributions to this debate. The aim of this mini-track is to accommodate such contributions, so that authors and participants of the “Golden Gate to the Future of IS” can cross the exploratory bridges between the current visions of research and practice in IT Services and other, hopefully inspiring, visions coming from complementary sectors of the IS community. Suggested topics include: • The Social Dimension of IT Governance • Aligning IT Management and Service-Oriented Architecture • IT Services: Beyond Standards and Frameworks • Case Studies and Surveys on Less Conventional Forms of IT Governance • Emerging Challenges in IT Services • Actor-Network Theory and IT Governance Important dates: February 20, 2009: Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2009: Authors notification of acceptances April 20, 2009: Camera-ready copy due Mini-track chairs: Antonio Dias de Figueiredo Emeritus Professor of Information Systems University of Coimbra, Portugal adf(a)dei.uc.pt Paulo Rupino da Cunha Department of Informatics Engineering University of Coimbra, Portugal rupino(a)dei.uc.pt Luiz Mauricio Martins Centre for Informatics and Systems University of Coimbra, Portugal lmart(a)dei.uc.pt The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

[Fwd: [isworld] Call for papers: 2009 AMCIS Mini Track on Sourcing Issues]
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for papers: 2009 AMCIS Mini Track on Sourcing Issues Datum: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 13:31:26 -0700 Von: Kirs, Peeter J. <pkirs(a)utep.edu> Antwort an: Kirs, Peeter J. <pkirs(a)utep.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for papers: 2009 AMCIS Mini Track on Sourcing Issues The debate over the sourcing of work insourcing/outsourcing/offshoring/nearshoring) rages on. On the one hand, press reports mention that by the year 2015, $151.2 billion in wages will have been shifted from the United States to lower-wage countries. On the other hand, reports also mention that outsourcing/offshoring reduces labor costs and savings from outsourcing/offshoring allowed U.S. companies to create many thousands jobs in 2008. Academic studies on sourcing are needed and this mini-track will address important issues related to sourcing. We define IS offshoring as outsourcing of Information Systems (IS) projects/services to be completed in a country other than the country in which the project/service will be used. It is different from outsourcing or nearshoring as national-level factors and sometimes issues related to physical distance come into consideration, although technologies such as the Internet tries to bridge the latter type of obstacles. Offshoring has also many similarities with outsourcing, near shoring. So issues important to offshoring, outsourcing and nearshoring are all welcome for this track. Since offshoring involves different nations, past research has conjectured that national level-factors, beside the firm-level factors could be at play. Also, offshoring mostly involves projects with developing nations, and since the U.S/Canada/U.K are major clients, an English-speaking and/or technical savvy workforce, differences in national cultural values, trust, IT infrastructure and institutional values of vendor nations could be some of the important factors at play. Offshoring to countries at similar economic level is not uncommon. Studies are needed to figure out what motivates this kind of offshoring. Researchers have also speculated the importance of vendor management and system integration, among other things, in offshoring, from the client-side. Also theoretical frameworks are needed to understand better the sourcing process. Since certain IS jobs are shrinking/getting obliterated, issues of incorporating offshoring technical and management skill issues in IS curriculum cannot be ignored. Calls for such needs have already been issued by researchers and experts in IS area. This mini-track, will therefore address all these issues and all other emerging problems related to sourcing in general. All types of empirical studies including case studies are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *All aspects of offshoring, nearshoring and outsourcing including comparison studies *Impact of offshoring (short- and long-term): at national level and at firm level *Factors influencing/inhibiting offshoring/outsourcing/nearshoring: at firm, national levels *Offshoring and the issue of trust, culture, institutional factors *Theoretical frameworks that help analyze offshoring/outsourcing/nearshoring issues *Offshoring/outsourcing etc. and vendor management *Offshoring/outsourcing etc. and system integration *Offshoring and IS curriculum Please consider submitting a paper for the sourcing minitrack (Sourcing Issues), the details of which you will find at the AMCIS 2009 web site using the following link: http://amcis2009.org/images/stories/amcis09/doc/amcis-mt-118-2009-File00 1.pdf The deadline for submission is February 20, 2009.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: IJBPIM Special issue on Dynamic and Declarative Business Processes Datum: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:03:52 -0800 Von: Dragan Gasevic <dgasevic(a)acm.org> Antwort an: Dragan Gasevic <dgasevic(a)acm.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ************************************************************************ DEADLINE APPROACHING: ABSTRACT SUBMISSION FEB. 1ST ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal on Business Process Integration and Management Special issue on Dynamic and Declarative Business Processes ************************************************************************ DESCRIPTION The capability of rapidly adapting systems and processes to an ever-changing environment to leverage existing resources has become a crucial factor of an organization's agility. The traditional approach to process management is only partially appropriate to this new context, and calls for the advent of new, dynamic business processes. Broad business policies or narrower constraints of technical nature make dynamic business process particularly suited to a declarative approach to their modelling and design. This special issue will be an opportunity to promote research on any aspect broadly touching dynamic and declarative approaches to business process management and serviceoriented architectures. A particular interest will be taken in bridging theoretical research and practical issues. To this end, evaluated contributions addressing the open problems, case studies, applications and evaluations of well-established formalisms in new contexts or any other work assessing the practical significance of dynamic and declarative business processes by means of concrete examples and situations, will be particularly welcome. TOPICS We solicit high-quality contributions with consolidated and thoroughly evaluated research results in the area of declarative and dynamic business processes that are worthy of archival publication in the International Journal of Business Process Integration Management. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Dynamic/declarative business process modelling - Implementation issues for dynamic/declarative processes - Tools for dynamic/declarative processes - Real-world use cases of dynamic/declarative business processes - Business rules and policies - Rule driven business process engines - Business + technical requirements for dynamic/declarative processes - Dynamic/declarative model specification - Mathematical foundations of dynamic/declarative business processes - Formal models of dynamic/declarative business processes - Monitoring of dynamic/declarative business processes - Validation and model checking of dynamic/declarative business processes - Software engineering methods, languages, and standards for dynamic and declarative business processes; - Service-oriented architectures and dynamic/declarative business processes - Interoperability for dynamic/declarative business processes - Semantic Web and ontologies and declarative and dynamic business processes - Collaboration and declarative/dynamic business processes GUEST EDITORS Dragan Gasevic, Athabasca University, Canada Tobias Graml ETH Zurich, Switzerland Sylvain Halle, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Roger Villemaire, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Canada PROGRAM COMMITTEE (to be completed) Colin Atkinson, Universität Mannheim, Germany Claudio Bartolini, HP Labs Palo Alto, USA Thomas Bauer, Daimler AG, Group Research and Advanced Engineering, Germany Andrew Berry, Deontik, Australia Kamal Bhattacharya, IBM Watson, USA Domenico Bianculli, University of Lugano, Switzerland Franck van Breugel, York University, Canada Christoph Bussler, Cisco Systems, Inc, USA Sanjay Chaudhary, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, India Xiang Fu, Georgia Southwestern State University, USA Karthik Gomadam, Wright State University, USA Guido Governatori, University of Queensland, Australia Reiko Heckel, University of Leicester, UK Jana Koehler, IBM Zürich, Switzerland Zoran Milosevic, Deontik, Australia Shin Nakajima, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Leo Obrst, The MITRE Corporation, USA Manfred Reichert, University of Twente, The Netherlands Stefanie Rinderle, Universität Ulm, Germany Florian Rosenberg, Technical University of Vienna, Austria Shazia Sadiq, The University of Queensland, Australia Jennifer Sampson, National ICT Australia Biplav Srivastava, IBM India Research Lab Andreas Wombacher, University of Twente, The Netherlands IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: Feb. 1st, 2009 Paper submission: Feb. 15th, 2009 Author notification: June 15th, 2009 Publication (tentative): Oct-Dec 2009 issue SUBMISSION AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please contact Sylvain Halle (shalle(a)acm.org) or visit: http://www.leduotang.com/sylvain/ddbp2008/journal IJBPIM is published by Inderscience Publishers ISSN (Online): 1741-8771 - (Print): 1741-8763 ************************************************************************ The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

These systems provide for the integration of many standard business processes using best practices from a variety of disciplines including Accounting, Information Systems, Finance, Supply Chain Management and others. This minitrack seeks to provide an outlet for research concerning Enterprise Systems across a broad range of academic and organizational topics. Topics of special interest include the following: * Training and retention of ES staff * Educational issues related to ES students * Modeling and configuration of ES * ES upgrade and versioning issues * Implementation challenges * ES barriers and costs * Benefit and cost management of integrated enterprise systems * Measuring ES performance * ES success and failures * User issues and their effect on ES * Impact of Academic Alliances in ES technologies on students and businesses that hire these students Alexander McLeod � Minitrack Chair amcleod(a)unr.edu Sonja Pippin � Minitrack Co-Chair sonjap(a)unr.edu To submit a paper for AMCIS 2009 go to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2009 To view the CFP go to http://amcis2009.org The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

[Fwd: [isworld] Final CFP: JISE Special Issue on Impacts of Web 2.0 and Virtual World Technologies on IS Education]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Final CFP: JISE Special Issue on Impacts of Web 2.0 and Virtual World Technologies on IS Education Datum: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 11:26:25 -0500 Von: rea <rea(a)acm.org> Antwort an: rea <rea(a)acm.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> JISE Special Issue on Impacts of Web 2.0 and Virtual World Technologies on IS Education Apologies for Cross-Postings *********** I am resending to the list in order to particularly encourage authors who have papers to share within the context of Virtual Worlds to submit. If you are interested, please contact me off-list and we can discuss topics, deadlines (the original deadline passed this week), etc. Thank you. Alan Alan Rea Associate Professor Computer Information Systems Haworth College of Business Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI USA 49008-5412 ---------------------------- http://docrea.org/jise/ Whether it's a social networking site like Facebook, a video stream delivered via YouTube, or collaborative discussion and document sharing via Google Apps, more people are using Web 2.0 technologies to communicate, express ideas, and form relationships centered around topical interests. Virtual Worlds immerse participants even deeper in technological realms rife with interaction. Instead of simply building information, people create entire communities comprised of self-built worlds and avatars centered around common interests, learning, or socialization in order to promote information exchange. Holding business meetings in Second Life is becoming commonplace, MMORPGs are becoming the entertainment venue of choice, and upcoming generations of students may find the traditional academic means of information exchange--lectures and discussions--less appealing than most, instead opting for a rich multimedia experience infused with information. With classrooms quickly filling with the Google generation accustomed to being connected to information and social networks all the time in many forms, how can we best use these technologies to transform, supplement, or even supplant current pedagogical practices? Will holding office hours in chat rooms make a difference? What about streaming classroom discussions via iTunes? How about demonstrations of complex concepts in a Virtual World so students can experiment endlessly? In this JISE special issue, we will explore these questions and more. We are looking for research studies, instructional cases, teaching tips, and other discussions that examine the role Web 2.0 and Virtual Worlds should--or perhaps should not--play within our physical, virtual, or mixed classroom environment. How can these technological tools be best used in our pedagogical toolbox? Are there instances where they are a good fit or perhaps merely an instructional band-aid? Please consider sharing your insights, research, or teaching tips as we examine the promises presented, and the perils posed, by these ever-growing innovative, immersive (perhaps invasive), and pervasive technologies. http://docrea.org/jise/ ---------------------------- The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
