SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
Adaptation plays a central role in dynamically changing systems. It is
about the ability of the system to "responsively" self-adjust upon
change in the surrounding environment. Like in living creatures that
have evolved over millions of years developing ecological systems due to
their self-adaptation and fitness capacity to the dynamic environment,
systems undergo similar cycle to improve or at least do not weaken their
performance when internal or external changes take place. Internal or
endogenous change bears on the physical structure of the system (the
building blocks: hardware and/or software components) due mainly to
faults and knowledge inconsistency. It requires a certain number of
adaptivity features such as flexible deployment, self-testing,
self-healing and self-correction. Extraneous change touches on the
environment implication such operational mode or regime,
non-stationarity of input, new knowledge facts, interference, etc.
The two classes of change also shed light on the research avenues
towards smart systems. To meet the challenges of these systems, a
sustainable effort is necessary to develop intelligent hardware on one
level and concepts and algorithms on the other level. The former level
may concern various analog and digital adjustments but also
self-healing, self-testing, reconfiguration and many other aspects of
system development and maintenance. The latter level is concerned with
developing algorithms, concepts and techniques which can rely on
metaphors of nature and which are inspired from biological and cognitive
plausibility. This two-fold plausibility is the basis for many
computational models such as neural networks, evolutionary computation,
probabilistic reasoning and many other soft computing and machine
learning models.
Taking stock of both classes of changes, a system must self-adapt its
structure and self-adjust its parameters over time as changes occur. A
fundamental issue is the notion of "self" which refers to the capability
of the system to act and react on its own and which covers all stages of
the system's working and maintenance cycle starting from online
self-monitoring to self-growing and self-organizing.
ICAIS intends to be a forum for researchers and practitioners from
both communities: Hardware and Software (methods and algorithms) to
discuss the recent advances of adaptive systems and their application in
various practical domains. Target topics (but not limited to) are:
* Theories and Algorithms

======================= CALL FOR PAPERS ============================
10th International Conference on
Electronic Commerce and Web Technologies
EC-Web 09
http://sisinflab.poliba.it/ecweb09/
Johannes Kepler University of Linz
Linz, Austria
31 August - 4 September 2009
====================================================================
EC-Web 2009
After the initial enthusiastic initiatives and investments and the
eventual bubble, Electronic Commerce has changed and evolved in a
well established and founded reality both from a technological point
of view and from a scientific one. Nevertheless, together with its
evolution, new challenges and topics have emerged as well as new
questions have raised related to many aspects of Electronic Commerce.
After the lesson learned during last years, for its 10th edition
EC-Web completely renews its structure trying to provide a clearer
description of the Electronic Commerce universe focusing on some
relevant topics. The main focus is not only on Internet related
techniques and approaches. The aim of EC-Web 2009 is to cover also
aspects related to theoretical foundation of E-Commerce, Business
Processes as well as new approaches exploiting recently emerged
technologies and scenarios such as Semantic Web, Web services,
SOA architectures, mobile and ubiquitous computing, just to cite a
few. Due to their central role in any realistic e-commerce
infrastructure security and privacy issues are widely considered,
without excluding legal and regulatory aspects.
We encourage papers that present innovative solutions for classical
E-Commerce issues, such as e-negotiation, recommender systems,
secure payments, as well as for new emerging areas, such as the
Semantic Web, applied Web services, applied soft computing and
information retrieval techniques in web and/or e-commerce
environments.
Although the conference seems naturally focused on computer science
issues, we welcome and encourage research contributions from
economics, business administration, law, sociology and other
disciplines. In particular, papers about web marketing and its
non-technical aspects, as well as about social aspects of
e-commerce are encouraged. We also welcome papers reporting
about innovative applications and case studies in the field of
E-Commerce and/or Web Applications, like, e.g., Electronic Voting
and Sponsored web search.
In order to provide a better categorization and classification
of its main goals, Ec-Web 2009 will be organized as a multi-track
conference. Each track will be organized as a mini-conference with
corresponding reference area chairs.
Even though the main focus of the conference concerns the
relationship between E-commerce and emerging technologies, with
strong attention toward semantics aspects, contributions about
theoretical issues as well as cross-track contributions are very
welcome.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
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. The workshop will accept three types of
submissions:

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on
Cross-Organizational and Cross-Border IS/IT Collaboration

Complete Papers Due: April 1, 2009
As globalization moves forward, many IS/IT investments are
being deployed across organizations located in different
countries and world regions. Cross-system and inter-system
integration and collaboration technologies play essential
roles and often determine investment success or failure.
However, economic, social and other factors outside the
system must also be taken into consideration for global
IS/IT projects to be successful and productive. Academic
literature has extensively focused on trying to explain
IS/IT productivity, but has rarely examined the links
between international and multi-national collaboration
processes and the payoffs from IS/IT investments.
Despite the intensive research for more than two decades
of different aspects on IS/IT collaboration, many findings
are based on the cultural environment of North America or
Western Europe. In addition, most of the investigation has
been conducted in the context of a single country. As
corporate reality demands that firms cooperate across
national, economic and social boundaries, collaboration
models need to be constructed, validated, and further
refined in terms of the global economy.
IS/IT collaboration in the global economy differs
substantially from collaboration in any single country or
region for several reasons. First, IS/IT infrastructures
differ significantly in terms of stage of development and
maturity. Second, regulatory, legal, social, and cultural
environments may also vary substantially. Third, various
stakeholders in global IS/IT projects often have different
or even conflicting goals and ascribe to their own
definitions of project success. In addition, managing
globally distributed teams requires a high level of
coordination and collaboration that exceeds that needed
for more typical virtual teams within one economy or
region. For IS/IT projects to be successful and
productive in the global economy researchers and
practitioners need to address the aforementioned and other
issues.
This special issue of the European Journal of Information
Systems seeks to make a contribution to the literature in
this area. The main objective of the special issue is to
examine the linkages between global collaboration and the
business value of IS/IT investment and the challenges
posed by global collaboration processes, projects and
challenges.
Studies offering a wider focus from a human,
organizational or technical perspective are encouraged,
and a variety of methodological approaches including
exploratory approaches, theory building, case analysis,
testing through interviews, or surveys are welcome.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the
following:
-Processes of international/global IS/IT collaboration
-Effects of collaboration on IS/IT productivity
-Success factors of collaboration technologies
-Inter-organizational collaboration and IS/IT productivity
-Conceptual frameworks of IS/IT collaboration in the
global economy
-Comparative cross-country research on IS/IT collaboration
-Country-specific case studies on IS/IT collaboration
-Collaboration during the IS/IT off shoring /outsourcing
projects
-Cross-border and cross-organizational IS/IT project
management
-Multinational teams and IS/IT productivity
-IS/IT productivity instrument development and validation
-Cross-border and cross-organizational value-chains and
value-networks
