[Fwd: [WI] 2nd CfP: ISeB special issue on "Applications of Empirical Research in Business Process Management"]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CfP: ISeB special issue on "Applications of Empirical Research in Business Process Management" Datum: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:10:13 +1000 Von: Jan Recker <j.recker(a)qut.edu.au> An: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Referenzen: <CDD4943B0C84AD4B87B7B2EB6BF47ED208CE0D711D(a)QUTEXMBX01.qut.edu.au> *Information Systems and e-Business Management Journal* * * Special Issue on* Applications of Empirical Research in Business Process Management* *Overview * Providing effective IS support for business processes has become crucial for enterprises to stay competitive in their market. In response to this need numerous process support paradigms (e.g., workflow management, business service management, case handling), process specification standards (e.g., WS-BPEL, BPML, BPMN), process tools (e.g., ARIS Toolset, Tibco Staffware, FLOWer) and supporting methods have emerged in recent years. Summarized under the term “Business Process Management” (BPM), these paradigms, standards, tools, and methods have become a success-critical instrument for improving process performance. Research in the area of BPM has traditionally focused on the development and extension of associated tools, methods, standards and technologies. However, when evaluating the suitability of existing BPM technology for a particular project, it is important for practitioners and academics alike to have an informed opinion about their qualities and deficiencies. In particular, the demand for insights or evaluations of BPM technology based on empirical research has largely been neglected so far. This is surprising as the benefits of empirical research have been demonstrated in areas like software engineering, information systems, or, indeed, business for a long time. From the introduction of empirical research methods such as experimental or case study methods into BPM (as well as into the development of process-aware information systems), we expect more valid, quantitative or qualitative data on the various aspects and effects of BPM technology. This becomes important, not only for IS professionals, but also for researchers dealing with analytical, theoretical or technical challenges in the field of BPM. This special issue picks up this demand and seeks to stimulate empirical research that, in turn, can contribute to a better understanding of the problems, challenges and existing solutions in the BPM field. In particular, the special issue shall provide an interdisciplinary forum for both researchers and practitioners to improve the understanding of BPM-specific requirements, methods and theories, tools and techniques. Therefore, the special issue will deal with different facets of applying and using BPM methods and technologies; and it will give new insights into the challenges, applications, and perspectives emerging for BPM technology. With varied contents (empirical frameworks, case studies, surveys, experiment results, case study research, experience reports, practitioner reports, etc.) we will present a lively and inspiring issue for readers from academia and industry. *About the Journal* Information Systems and e-Business Management (ISeB) is an international journal that focuses on the core tasks of Information Systems Management, the conceptual anal sis, design, and deployment of information systems, as well as on all e-business related topics.

[Fwd: [computational.science] 1st CFP: Resilience@CCGrid 2010]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] 1st CFP: Resilience@CCGrid 2010 Datum: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:35:05 -0400 Von: Christian Engelmann <engelmannc(a)ornl.gov> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Call for Papers 3rd International Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience 2010) http://xcr.cenit.latech.edu/resilience2010 in conjunction with the 10th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2010) http://www.manjrasoft.com/ccgrid2010 May 17-20, 2010, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Clusters, Clouds, and Grids are three different computational paradigms with the intent or potential to support High Performance Computing (HPC). Currently, they consist of hardware, management, and usage models particular to different computational regimes, e.g., high performance cluster systems designed to support tightly coupled scientific simulation codes typically utilize high-speed interconnects and commercial cloud systems designed to support software as a service (SAS) do not. However, in order to support HPC, all must at least utilize large numbers of resources and hence effective HPC in any of these paradigms must address the issue of resiliency at large-scale. Recent trends in 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 these HPC systems increases from today's tera- and peta-scale to next-generation multi 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 migration, simply fail as random soft errors can't be predicted. Moreover, soft errors may even remain undetected resulting in silent data corruption. Resilience 2010 is the follow-on workshop to the successful Resilience 2009 held with HPDC in Munich, Germany, and the earlier Resilience 2008 held in conjunction with CCGrid in Lyon, France.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP: IESS1.0 International Conference on Exploring Services Science]
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: IESS1.0 International Conference on Exploring Services Science Datum: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 04:15:57 -0400 Von: Jolita Ralyte <jolita.ralyte(a)unige.ch> Antwort an: Jolita Ralyte <jolita.ralyte(a)unige.ch> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS First International Conference on Exploring Services Science IESS 1.0 Geneva, Switzerland, February 17-18-19, 2010 http://iess.unige.ch/ NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE 15th October 2009 OVERVIEW ======== Services Science is not a cosmetic change of existing things. Introduced by IBM in 2002, it has now emerged and matured in a true trans-disciplinary atmosphere. Encompassing disciplines not only in management and engineering, it also draws from disciplines such as social and cognitive sciences, law, ethics, economics etc. to address the theoretical and practical aspects of the challenging services industry and its economy. Services Science leverages methods, results and knowledge stemming from these disciplines towards the development of its own concepts, methods, techniques and approaches thus creating the basis for true trans-disciplinary gatherings and the production of trans-disciplinary results. Services Science is building a concrete framework for trans-disciplinary purposes. Thus �service� must be considered in this conference with its multiple facets: economic, organizational, social, collective, ontological, regulatory, secure, etc. and also, of course, implemented by means of informatics. Sometimes it is referred to as information services to distinguish its restricted meanings in various disciplines like Economy or Informatics. The goal of this first conference is to build upon this growing community to further study and understand this emerging discipline. Academics, researchers and practitioners of all disciplines are expected to contribute their results and approaches to Services Science in a trans-disciplinary setting. In order to achieve the best possible mix of disciplines and their representation, the conference is structured around Service research topics, which are trans-disciplinary and around Service contexts, which are more disciplinary oriented. The contributions should address one or several topics, be grounded in one or several contexts and be open to trans-disciplinary approaches. RESEARCH TOPICS =============== Research topics follow the Services lifecycle and include (not limited to) the following subtopics. Contributions addressing more than one topic are encouraged. 1. Service innovation: Value models, Innovation/Creation process, Business trends, Technological trends, People trends, Service innovation and strategy. 2. Service exploration: Consumer service needs modeling, Supplier service modeling, Business services requirements modeling, Service information & process modeling, Service exploration process. 3. Service design : Service design methodologies and patterns, Service and re-design of organization of activities, Service co-design environments, tools, Requirements oriented towards services, Design of complex services, Service compliance with laws and regulations, Service security and safety. 4. Service engineering: Ontologies and interoperability, Web-services, Service-oriented architectures, Ubiquitous & mobile computing, Service orchestration, choreography, composition, COTS, Enterprise architectures, Service security and safety engineering. 5. Service sustainability: - IT service management: IT governance, Compliance with laws and regulations; - IS service management: Project management for IS services, Service evolution, QoS management (e.g. performance, trust, security, utility, usability), Business intelligence; - Service management: Service operations & marketing, Services and strategy, Future trends in services. CONTEXTS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS ============================= The contexts of the contributions reflect the trans-disciplinary atmosphere of Services Science and the particular role of information technology (IT) within them: they are organized along four main dimensions: - the first one addresses Services on a disciplinary/sector basis; - the second one covers IT; - the third one addresses the emergent foundations of the Science of Services; - the last one covers aspects of governance and management. Contributions addressing more that one of these themes are encouraged. 1. Sectors and services Contributions are sought from specialists to help uncover how, as specialists in their own sectors, they implicitly or explicitly use this notion of Services. The list of sectors include (not limited to) Services in: Public administration, Government and Citizen, Banking, Finance and Insurance Services, Food and Agriculture, Geo localization, Education, Entertainment, Healthcare, Environment and Sustainable Development, Legal, Engineering, Linguistics, Culture, Tourism and Hospitality. 2. IT and services Information Technology (IT) is traditionally structured around isolated or siloed services. Services Science has now opened a whole scientific domain where such technologies offer opportunities for emerging interoperable scientific knowledge patterns among them as well as with other disciplines. Contributions are sought from specialists to help uncover how to integrate IT into a trans-disciplinary process geared towards the development and management of Services. This includes (not limited to) IT in: Mobiles, ubiquitous and ambient technologies, Multimedia technologies, Grid and utility computing, SOA, Security, Collaborative systems, Social networking systems. 3. Foundations of Services Science Given the variety of contexts for Services, it is necessary to study, build and strengthen the scientific foundations of Services Science. Contributions are sought to discover what is the common knowledge, what are the common scientific frameworks and methodologies of Services Science. Topics may cover (not limited to): Service evolution and customization, Service for interoperating knowledge of various disciplines, Ontologies for services, Interoperable services, composition of services, Integration of services into information systems, Integration services into organizations, Collaborative and trans-disciplinary methods for developing services, Service methods, service life cycle, Service economics, Service governance, risk and compliance, Security, trust in services. 4. Governance and management Fully dematerialized organisations and societies require revisiting and adapting, through trans-disciplinary approaches, theories and practices, which have dominated product oriented economies in the past. Contributions are sought from specialists to set up the fundamentals of such dematerialized organizations at the global level and to analyze the transformation process of product-oriented economies towards service-oriented economies. How do we market and monetize services? What is supply chain in services? What is service risk management? Topics in governance and management of dematerialized organizations and societies include (not limited to) : Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, accounting and cost accounting, Planning and forecasting, Strategy and innovation, Logistics, Business administration, Management of Services. IMPORTANT DATES =============== Submission deadline October 15th, 2009 Review notification November 25th, 2009 Camera-ready papers and conference registration due December 15th, 2009 CONFERENCE CHAIRS ================= Eric Dubois, Centre Henri Tudor, Luxembourg Dimitri Konstantas, University of Geneva, Switzerland Michel Léonard, University of Geneva, Switzerland PROGRAM COMMITTEE, AUTHOR GUIDELINES AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE WEB SITE: http://iess.unige.ch/ The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

For over a decade, DGVCS's have been one of the largest and most powerful distributed computing systems in the world, offering a high return on investment for applications from a wide range of scientific domains (including computational biology, climate prediction, and high-energy physics). While DGVCS's sustain up to PetaFLOPS of computing power from hundreds of thousands to millions of resources, fully leveraging the platform's computational power is still a major challenge because of the immense scale, high volatility, and extreme heterogeneity of such systems. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent advances and identifying open issues for the development of scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure DGVCS's. The workshop seeks to bring desktop grid researchers together from theoretical, system, and application areas to identify plausible approaches for supporting applications with a range of complexity and requirements on desktop environments. This year's workshop will have special emphasis on the interaction of clouds and desktop grids. As such, we invite submissions on DGVCS topics including the following: * Cloud computing over unreliable enterprise or Internet resources * DGVCS middleware and software infrastructure (including management), with emphasis on virtual machines * incorporation of DGVCS's with Grid and Cloud infrastructures * DGVCS programming environments and models * modeling, simulation, and emulation of large-scale, volatile environments * resource management and scheduling * resource measurement and characterization * novel DGVCS applications * data management (strategies, protocols, storage) * security on DGVCS's (reputation systems, result verification) * multi-core DGVCS's * fault-tolerance on shared, volatile resources * peer-to-peer (P2P) algorithms or systems applied to DGVCS's With regard to the last topic, we strongly encourage authors of P2P-related paper submissions to emphasize the applicability to DGVCS's in order to be within the scope of the workshop. IMPORTANT DATES *************************** Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2009 Acceptance Notification: December 30, 2010 Camera-ready paper deadline: January 25, 2010 PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers electronically.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2ND CFP: WORKSHOP ON SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CLOUD COMPUTING - SPCC 2010 Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:06:34 +0200 Von: A.vanCleeff(a)ewi.utwente.nl Antwort an: A.vanCleeff(a)ewi.utwente.nl An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> --- Program committee members now confirmed --- CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP ON SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CLOUD COMPUTING - SPCC 2010 PART OF COMPUTER PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION - CPDP 2010 www.spcc2010.info, www.cpdpconferences.org 29th January 2010 - Brussels, Belgium An increasing amount of data is stored and processed outside the control of the owner. Outsourcing, software-as-a-service, infrastructure renting and social networking sites change the way we think about information handling. Instead of managing our own information, we leave it somewhere "out there". The development of providing information technology as a service is currently reaching its apex in cloud computing: a technology that provides on-demand access to massively scalable resources. When the information being processed is sensitive, security and privacy concerns are inevitable. How can we protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information that is processed outside our control? In the SPCC workshop, we seek technical and organisational solutions for protecting security and privacy in cloud computing environments. The workshop will consist of keynote lectures on security and privacy in cloud computing as well as presentations of submitted papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Understanding cloud security and privacy o security modelling and threat analysis o security requirements engineering o interaction between the physical, digital and social security domains - Technical security mechanisms for cloud computing o access control o applied cryptography and protocols o centralised vs. decentralised security architectures o data-centric security and data classification o identity-centric security and identity management - Cloud computing in organisational and societal context o auditing o incident identification and management o risk analysis and risk management o trust management o economic, social and legal aspects Technical contributions should provide insight into business and/or societal value. Papers and presentations should be targeted to a broad audience, including information security experts, legal experts, policy makers, and social scientists. We especially encourage submission of papers that connect two or more of the above topics. Papers should be PDF, in Springer book chapter style (http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0 ), without author identification, and should be submitted through the EasyChair website (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spcc2010) by 16 November 2009. We accept both position papers (maximum 10 pages) and full papers (maximum 15 pages). Papers will be selected based on blind review. Submission implies that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will register for the conference and present the paper in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the book of the CPDP conference (post-proceedings).
