-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP BPMJ Special issue on IS evaluation and benchmarking for business performance improvement Datum: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:16:07 +0100 Von: Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS Business Process Management Journal Special issue on IS evaluation and benchmarking for business performance improvement Submission deadline: 1st March 2010 Website: http://info.emeraldinsight.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.htm?PHPSES… <http://info.emeraldinsight.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.htm?PHPSES…> Guest Editors: Stefan Smolnik, Nils Urbach, and Jerry L. Fjermestad Aim and scope: Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) has been increasing for many years. By 2010, International Data Cooperation expects the total expenditure on IT to reach 1.48 trillion US dollars. Simultaneously, however, a greater number of information systems (IS) failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey carried out in 2006 in the USA indicated that only 62 per cent of software projects were considered successful. The measurement of investments and developed systems' success, as well as the paradox of high investments and low productivity returns ("productivity paradox"), therefore remain a top concern for both practitioners and researchers. During the last two and a half decades, measuring IS success – the clarification of an important dependent variable in IS research – has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success and identify the various causes of success or failure respectively. Complementarily, the benchmarking method allows for an external perspective on the unit of analysis and therefore for an inter-organizational comparison. Thus, organizations are able to assess costs and benefits of IS with respect to a peer group. In addition, benchmarking establishes standards as well as a shared understanding and common procedures. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this special issue are encouraged to present research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to assessing and benchmarking IS with the objective of improving business processes and overall business performance. In addition, this special issue will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring IS success. Possible paper topics: * Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness * Measuring IS success/effectiveness in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success * Contribution of IS to improving business processes and their performance * From process measurement to performance improvement using IS * Critical discussion of existing approaches (D&M IS Success Model, TAM, etc.) * IS success factors and key business process management performance indicators * Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries * Exploring security system success and security benchmarking * Empirical studies evaluating different kinds of IS such as: – Customer Relationship Management Systems – Project (Portfolio) Management Systems – Business Process Management and Workflow Management Systems – Knowledge Management Systems – Decision Support Systems – Collaborative Systems – Enterprise Systems. * Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation * Why does focusing on system requirements not lead to system success? Author guidelines: All papers will be subject to a rigorous double-blind peer review.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing (U-Media 2010) Datum: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:48:52 -0500 Von: Ralf Klamma <klamma(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Antwort an: Ralf Klamma <klamma(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing (U-Media 2010) http://conference.cs.cityu.edu.hk/umedia2010/ July 5-6, 2010 Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, China Dynamicity in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal suite of events populated by computing devices arrivals and departures, communication channels uses, and multimodal interactions. Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer interaction. It has become a de facto style of facilitating social events, in which participants use several distributed devices opportunistically through multimodal adaptive interaction. How people access multimodal media in different contexts of use is key to deliver the appropriate interactive systems to humans. Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, explores challenging issues on how to bring together technologies for context adaptation, inter-device interaction, and media/data communication for the well-being of humans. The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE, with best papers to be recommended for publication in special issues of international journals. Topics of interests are divided based on four levels: Ubi-media Infrastructure * Heterogeneous Ubi-media Infrastructure * Ubiquitous Sensor Networks / RFID * New Ubi-media Devices * Multimedia Embedded Systems * Ubi-media Storage and Indexing * 3G and Advanced Communication Techniques * Cross-Network Communication Techniques Ubi-media Middleware * Context-Aware Multimedia * Cross-Network Media Server * Computational Intelligences in Ubi-media * Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid * Ubi-media Content Protection and Security * Privacy and Security in Ubiquitous Environments Ubi-media Human-Computer Interaction * Plasticity of User Interfaces * Dynamic composition of User Interfaces * Multimodal interaction * Social networks Ubi-media Applications * Ubi-media for Education * Ubi-media for Commerce * Ubi-media for Games * Ubi-media for Health Care * Ubi-media for Smart Home * Ubi-media for Citizens and E-Government Paper Submission: Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All papers will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee. All submitted papers MUST be formatted according to the author guidelines provided by IEEE Computer Society Press (two-column format) and MUST NOT be longer than SIX pages.

Ng, Hong Kong Institute of Education, China Nikos Karacapilidis, University of Patras, Greece Mahesh S. Raisinghani, Texas Woman’s University, USA Special Issue: Adult Learning and Technology GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE Integrating Adult Learning and Technologies for Effective Education Victor C. X. Wang, California State University at Long Beach, USA Web-based learning would not be possible without information communication technologies. As courses are taught online on a continuous basis and as degrees are conferred on learners who are able to seek degrees only from online universities, the debate continues regarding the effectiveness of learning or teaching via information communication technologies. Some argue that the whole educational enterprise has been frozen into the pedagogical educational model, which means teachers must direct students’ learning in the traditional classroom settings. The following six articles in this special issue of IJWLLT provides readers with a bird’s eye view of the pertinent issues regarding teaching and learning via information communication technologies. To read the guest editorial preface, please consult this issue of IJWLLT in your library. PAPER ONE Learner-Centered Teaching and the Use of Technology Annette Greer, East Carolina University, USA Vivian W. Mott, East Carolina University, USA In this article, the authors explore the use of various learning technologies as tools for facilitating learner-centered teaching. This article offers another perspective on the scholarship of teaching with technology—through discussion of various theoretical models of learner-centered teaching, the role of technology on the student/instructor relationships, the impact on technology in different educational settings, and contexts and learners’ cultural differences. The authors conclude with a brief discussion of future trends, cautions, and speculations related to technology use in learner-centered teaching.

X. Wang, California State University, Long Beach, USA Effective teaching with technology in adult education stems from many factors. Not only are teachers of adult learners required to study the tools related to the use of technology, but are also required to study the nature of knowledge, the nature of learning, constructivism and various kinds of teaching philosophies. Without thorough knowledge of these factors, effective teaching with technology cannot occur in adult education, let alone other educational fields. In this article, the author addresses the interrelationships between the use of technologies and the teaching and learning process.

Hernández-Gantes, University of South Florida, USA Online education is becoming an important component of career and technical education (CTE) in teacher preparation and at the graduate level. In the midst of such growth and in response to questions about quality compared with traditional learning, there is a consensus that online courses and programs should be designed based on the needs of adult learners; however, much of the literature in online CTE lacks implicit connections to emerging notions of adult development and learning. This article provides an overview of the status of online education in CTE at the postsecondary level, discusses related issues and current research focus, and highlights adult learning developments and implications for curriculum design, instruction, and use of technology. The author concludes with an outline of emerging trends bridging adult learning and online education relevant to career and technical education.

Technology has allowed faculty and students to move the learning environment from the four-walled classroom to a fluid global virtual space. Knowledge gained through the application of learning style research to online instruction has enhanced practice; however, research demonstrating the alignment of learning styles with current technological resources has been limited. Learning styles and their interrelationship with technology and adult learners is as important today as initial learning style research was in the six decades after its beginnings in the 1940s. Education today must meet the needs of students who are more comfortable in electronic environments, as well as those who need the four-walled classroom.

ICTs in adult learning have an ambivalent effect. On the one hand, they offer potential improvement in online communicative activities and the transmission of codified or explicit knowledge. On the other hand, they can reduce socially and interactive-mediated tacit teaching and learning. Thus, the crucial criterion for effective and complementary use of ICTs in adult andragogy is whether they enable time and social space for the tacit dimension of teaching and learning. This article analyzes these issues by comparing how two young universities in Spain have dealt with these effects of ICTs in relation to the tacit dimension of learning and teaching.

Hope, University of Auckland, New Zealand In this article, the author provides a critical review of the past two decades of technology use in adult education. The article begins with a brief summary of technological trends, such as the introduction of the Internet and the World Wide Web, that have influenced adult education over the past two decades. Political, economic, social, and pedagogical issues that have influenced the use of technology in adult education are also discussed and possible solutions to these issues are outlined. This article concludes with an attempt to extrapolate future technological trends that could influence the direction of adult education in the decade to come.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: PLEASE 2010 at ICSE (International Workshop on Product LinE Approaches in Software Engineering) Datum: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:29:07 +0000 Von: Goetz Botterweck <goetz.botterweck(a)lero.ie> Antwort an: Goetz Botterweck <goetz.botterweck(a)lero.ie> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Product LinE Approaches in Software Engineering (PLEASE 2010) held in conjunction with the 32nd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2010) http://please2010.haifa.il.ibm.com/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 WORKSHOP OVERVIEW =================== Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is an engineering technique for creating a portfolio of similar systems from a shared set of software assets. It capitalizes on identifying commonalities and points of variability across the portfolio and promotes strategic software reuse. Organizations that adopt SPLE are able to achieve significant improvement in development and maintenance costs, time-to-market, portfolio size, and quality. This workshop's main goal is to explore new ways for making SPLE more approachable to software practitioners from all segments of the industry, thus broadening its adoption. We seek to tear down barriers by allowing the SPLE community to share its ideas regarding approaches, techniques and tools, with the broader software engineering community. In addition, the workshop designates Beyond Traditional Product Lines as a special theme: Traditionally, SPLE builds on the assumptions that (a) the scope of the product line is clearly defined in advance and stays relatively stable and (b) SPLE activities are mainly performed within and controlled by one organization. These assumptions fall apart as soon as the product line starts to evolve or the SPLE value chains extend across organizational boundaries. As a direct result we designate the following question as the workshop's special theme: How do we deal with scenarios where we want to design and build families of similar systems, but (a) cannot rely on a clearly defined and stable scope and (b) the software ecosystem extends beyond organizational boundaries? 2 TOPICS ======== Topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: * Model-driven approaches for software product line engineering * Variant management, notations and representation * Product line engineering for very large, complex systems and systems-of-systems * Software product lines in software ecosystems * Inter-organizational approaches to product lines * Incremental development of product lines * Validation of product lines * Product line evolution and software configuration management * Migration strategies towards product lines; extracting product line models from legacy software artifacts * Empirical studies and experience reports * Vision of the future of product line engineering 3 KEYNOTE ========= PLEASE 2010 is proud to host Linda Northrop as our keynote speaker. As head of the Software Engineering Institute Ms. Northrop leads the work in software product lines, systems of systems, ultra-large-scale systems, and more. She coauthored the book Software Product Lines: Practices and Patterns and led the research group on ULS systems whose results are reported in the book, Ultra-Large-Scale Systems: The Software Challenge of the Future. 4 SUBMISSION ============ Two types of submissions are invited. (1) Regular papers (maximum 8 pages) presenting original research and/or experience reports and (2) Future trends papers (max. 4 pages) describing ongoing research, new results, and future trends. Papers should be written in English and conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings format templates style, see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. LaTeX users should follow the Option #2 template (Tighter alternate style). For the paper size, use US Letter format: 8.5x11 inches. Papers should be submitted electronically via CyberChair (linked from the workshop's website). All papers submitted to the workshop must be unpublished original work and must not have been submitted anywhere else for publication. Submissions will be selected based on quality and re-levance to the workshop as well as the suitability to trigger discussions. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library. By default, the copyrights of these papers will be transferred to the ACM. The workshop organizers are exploring the possibility of allowing individual authors to opt out and retain copyright. At least one of the authors of each accepted papers is required to register for the workshop and present the paper at the workshop for the paper to be included in the ACM digital library. 5 IMPORTANT DATES ================== Submission deadline: Sunday, January 10, 2010 Author notification: Friday, February 12, 2010 Camera ready copy: Thursday, February 25, 2010 6 PROGRAM COMMITTEE =================== * Julia Rubin, IBM Haifa Research Lab, Israel (PC Co-Chair) * Andreas Pleuss, Lero, University of Limerick, Ireland (PC Co-Chair) * David Benavides, University of Seville, Spain * Danilo Beuche, pure-systems, Germany * Paulo Borba, Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil * Jan Bosch, Intuit, USA * Goetz Botterweck, Lero, University of Limerick, Ireland * Manfred Broy, Technische Universität München, Germany * Paul Clements, SEI, USA * Krzysztof Czarnecki, University of Waterloo, Canada * Paul, Grünbacher, JKU Linz, Austria * Oystein Haugen, SINTEF and University of Oslo, Norway * Patrick Heymans, University of Namur - FUNDP, Belgium * Kyo-Chul Kang, POSTECH, South Korea * Itay Maman, IBM Haifa Research Lab, Israel * Mira Mezini, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany * Klaus Pohl, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany * Andreas Rummler, SAP Research, Germany * Doug Schmidt, Vanderbilt University, USA * Christa Schwanninger, Siemens, Germany * Rob van Ommering, Philips, NL * Markus Voelter, itemis AG, Germany 7 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ====================== * Julia Rubin, IBM Haifa Research Lab, Israel * Goetz Botterweck, Lero, University of Limerick, Ireland * Mira Mezini, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany * Itay Maman, IBM Haifa Research Lab, Israel * Andreas Pleuss, Lero, University of Limerick, Ireland The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

[Fwd: [isworld] 2nd CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS]
by Gustaf Neumann 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2nd CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Datum: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:39:12 -0500 Von: Sandra Gonzalez Cisaro <sagonci(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Sandra Gonzalez Cisaro <sagonci(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues. Thanks! CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS 2nd Proposal Submission Deadline: December 14, 2009 Ontologies-Driven Web Mining: Concepts and Techniques A book edited by Hector Oscar Nigro and Sandra Elizabeth Gonzalez Císaro Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/request /details.asp?ID=732 Introduction Semantic Web mining aims to combine the development of two research areas, namely Semantic Web and Web mining. Web mining extracts information from the content of the pages, its structure of relationships (links), and the users� browsing records. Both areas are collaborating in different ways: a) Mining Web techniques can help create a Semantic Web. A very important portion of Semantic Web is the ontologies. The ontology is represented as a set of concepts and their relevant interrelations for certain domains of knowledge. The challenge is to learn ontologies and/or their concepts, in order to make a scalable solution for a wide range of Semantic Web technologies. b) Knowledge in the form of ontologies, or other forms of representation of knowledge, can be used to improve the process and the results of mining Web. Knowledge provided by the ontology is useful in defining the structure and the scope for Web content mining. In the interaction between ontologies and Web mining, we can mention the following applications: � Sentiment analysis, also called opinion mining, is responsible for classifying words, texts or documents of opinion, and emotions or feelings that express agreement. It works in tagging texts and their components, which indicate if the expression is positive, negative, or neutral, and in the field of the subjectivity of texts, as well. The area is called affective computing, that is, the development of means to enable machines to detect and to respond in an appropriate manner to the emotions of users. � Optimization in search engines is criteria that must be taken into account in order to plan a campaign of positioning a Web page, its life cycle, and a selection of tools to help analyze the positioning of a site, as well as give keys to improve it. The study of the various basic attributes of an individual Web resource is not sufficient to infer the different strategies of positioning of a search engine. The fundamental problem is that the relationship between the different elements of the page and weight that each one brings to the final positioning. The application of various techniques of inductive learning can be a starting point for the optimization of the Web positioning. � Web intelligence (WI) is a research paradigm aimed at exploration of the fundamental interactions between artificial intelligence (AI), advanced engineering, and advanced information technology (AIT). Engineering, here, is a general term referring to, (a) a new area, for example, informatics of the brain, IA human level, intelligent agents, and intelligence social networks; (b) classics, such as engineering knowledge, representation, planning, discovery, and data extraction. The ontologies will give semantic richness to Web mining process, thus they will facilitate the understanding of the results obtained and the whole process performance. Objective of the Book This book aims at publishing original academic or industrial work in the form of high quality, scientific papers. The key objective is to provide Web mining students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers an integral vision of the topic, specifically focusing on those areas that explore new methodologies or examine real study case�all of them ontologies-based. This publication should describe the state-of-the-art, innovative theoretical supports, advanced and successful implementations, as well as the latest empirical research findings in the area of ontologies-driven Web mining. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of readers who wish to learn how to apply ontologies-driven Web mining to real world problems. The purpose is to show users how to go from theory and algorithms to real applications. The book will present to students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers basic notions in data mining or Web mining. Information technology researchers and practitioners can increase their knowledge and skills with these new techniques. This book can be used as a library reference, upper-level course supplement, or for postgraduate courses. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: � Theoretic foundations on Web mining ontologies-based approach � Ontologies in Web mining process � Ontology-based interpretation and validation of mined knowledge � Intelligent assistants for Web mining with ontologies � Interaction from ontologies to Web mining � Knowledge grids and Web mining ontology � Ontology-based optimization in search engines � Opinion mining with ontologies � Real study cases, implementing Web mining based on ontologies Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 14, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by December 29, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by March 14, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Papers for the Third IEEE International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-10) Datum: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:54:14 +0100 Von: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)um.es> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Call for Papers for the Third IEEE International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-10) Organizer: Trusted Computing Institute, Central South University, China Bradford, UK, 29 June-1 July, 2010 http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/tsp2010 To be held in conjunction with The 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2010) http://www.scim.brad.ac.uk/~ylwu/CIT2010/ Introduction Satisfying user requirements for trust, security and privacy in an efficient way is one of the first considerations for almost all emerging applications, using emerging technologies such as pervasive computing, peer to peer computing, grid computing, cloud computing, virtualization and, mobile and wireless technologies. Challenges arise as emerging applications evolve to provide more scalable and comprehensive services. One of the biggest challenges is that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, and distributed computing environments. Therefore, we need to build networks and systems in which emerging applications allow users to enjoy more scalable and comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time. Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20, 2008, and TSP-09 in Macau SAR, China, during October 12-14, 2009, The Third IEEE International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-10) will be held in Bradford, UK, during June 29-July 1, 2010, in conjunction with The 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2010), aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on trust, security, privacy, and related issues such as technical, social, and cultural implications for all emerging devices, services, applications, networks, and systems, and providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research area. Scope and Interests TSP-10 is an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging ideas and trends in trust, security and privacy for emerging applications from both the research community as well as the industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: (1) TSP metrics, architectures, and models (2) TSP in pervasive computing (3) TSP in peer to peer computing (4) TSP in grid computing (5) TSP in cloud computing (6) TSP in mobile and wireless communications (7) TSP in cyber-physical systems (8) TSP in parallel and distributed systems (9) TSP in e-commerce and e-government systems (10) TSP in hardware and software co-design (11) TSP in operating systems (12) TSP in database systems (13) TSP in virtualization technologies (14) Privacy and anonymity technologies (15) Risk analysis and management (16) Reliability, dependability, and fault tolerance (17) Network attacks and defenses (18) Cryptography and security protocols (19) Authentication, access control, and accounting (20) Miscellaneous TSP issues Submission and Publication Information The accepted papers from this symposium will be published by IEEE Computer Society in IEEE CIT-10 proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP).
