-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] IE4SOC - Call for Industrial Position Papers (extended deadline) Datum: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 04:13:33 -0500 Von: Pierluigi Plebani <plebani(a)elet.polimi.it> Antwort an: Pierluigi Plebani <plebani(a)elet.polimi.it> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR INDUSTRIAL POSITION PAPERS ************************************************************************************** IE4SOC (Industrial Experience for Service Oriented Computing) Workshop Joint ICSOC-ServiceWave 2009 Conference on Service Oriented Computing 23-27 November 2009 Stockholm, Sweden http://www.s-cube-network.eu/ie4soc ************************************************************************************** NEW DATES ***** Abstract Submission Deadline: November 12, 2009 (EXTENDED) ***** - IE4SOC 2009 Workshop: November 23, 2009 (morning) =============================== Service-oriented applications are being developed in a variety of application domains. While research focuses on theoretical aspects in themes such as Service Engineering, Service Compositions, Service Management, SOA at runtime, Quality of Service, and Grid Services, solid experiences about the utility of the proposed approaches in industry are still missing. The aim of this workshop is, therefore, to identify the most promising research directions that can have an impact on the service industry for the purpose of aligning academic and industrial research agendas. The evaluation of different proposed approaches and benchmarks and complete case studies is needed to be able to assess which are the most promising research directions that can have an impact on the industrial development of this field. GOALS =============================== Starting from the research work of the EU Network of Excellence S-Cube on analyzing case studies and the gaps in current solutions of current research towards the establishment of adaptive and flexible service-based applications, and with the goal of involving industries in the discussion of experiences in using services in real cases, the workshop has the aim of collecting case studies and perceived gaps in current platforms from industries and from currently running industrial and research projects. The aim of this workshop is to broaden the scope of this gap analysis by collecting industrial scenarios and case studies and by analysing the industrial needs for research in the next 5-10 years. A systematic basis for analyzing the available material can be set and a contribution can be made towards establishing benchmarks for assessing technologies and new research approaches The industries will be involved with the presentation of their experiences and of their gap analysis with respect to platforms and solutions being adopted and developed. The goal of the workshop is to establish a discussion forum to analyze and compare the characteristics of presented case studies and solutions. SUBMISSIONS =============================== Big industrial players and SMEs are encouraged to submit a 1000-word position paper to pernici(a)elet.polimi.it by November 12th 2009 describing relevant case studies and scenarios in the following open list of application domains: - pervasive systems - automotive systems - product design and distribution - e-health - e-government - telecommunication - ... other related application domains We anticipate that submitters will be given about 15-20 minutes to present their work to the assembled group, followed by 5-10 minutes for questions from the audience. The exact timing and review process will depend on the number of abstracts received. All the position papers will be published in the workshop proceedings that will be made available during the event. ORGANIZERS ============================== Barbara Pernici, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Andreas Gehlert, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Marco Pistore, FBK-IRST, Trento, Italy Pierluigi Plebani, Politecnico di Milano, Italy George Spanoudakis, City University London, UK =============================== For more information about ICSOC please visit the conference home page at http://www.icsoc.org/ The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP SAKS 2010: Selbstorganisierende, adaptive, kontextsensitive verteilte Systeme: Technik - Einsatz - Datum: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 14:18:55 +0100 (CET) Von: Jan Marco Leimeister <Leimeister(a)uni-kassel.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen. Beste Grüße aus Kassel, Jan Marco Leimeister Call for Papers: ************************************************************************* SAKS 2010 Selbstorganisierende, adaptive, kontextsensitive verteilte Systeme Technik - Einsatz - Perspektiven – Recht ************************************************************************* 16. März 2010, Universität Kassel http://www.self-org.info/saks/2010/ Motivation ========== Das neue Jahrtausend brachte die Gesellschaft in eine neue Ära der Vernetzung und Kommunikativität. Schon seit vielen Jahren wird die Vision der im Leben allgegenwärtigen Informationstechnologie, des Ubiquitous Computing, sowohl von seiner Faszination der neuen Möglichkeiten, als auch von neuen Herausforderungen und auch Gefahren diskutiert. In technischer Hinsicht stehen wir jedoch erst am Anfang, was die Beherrschung komplexer, heterogener Netze betrifft. Statische Konfiguration und manuelle Steuerung der Systeme scheiden in vielen Fällen schon heute aus; Systeme müssen sich dynamisch anpassen können. Autonomie und Selbstverwaltung sind hier prägende Begriffe, genauso wie die Adaptivität der von uns verwendeten Systeme und der Umgebungen, in denen wir uns bewegen. Obwohl die Konzepte der Selbstorganisation, Selbstmanagement, Emergenz und anderer Phänomene seit Jahren intensiv beleuchtet wurden, bleiben noch immer viele Fragen offen. Gibt es Standardverfahren – also Methodiken –, die uns im Entwicklungsprozess anleiten können? Können wir von der Natur und ihrer offensichtlich erfolgreichen Selbstorganisation lernen? Kann uns Divide-and-Conquer hier noch helfen, oder müssen wir auf eine „emergente“ Lösung setzen? Können wir Adaptivität als Aspekt in Anwendungen hineintragen, oder muss sie fester Bestandteil im Entwurfsprozess sein? Doch technische Fragen alleine können nicht maßgeblich für die Durchsetzung einer neuen Technologie sein. Sind Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation auch außerhalb unserer Prototypen, also im großen Maßstab, einsetzbar – können sie alltagstauglich werden? Welche Chancen eröffnen sich für den Einsatz adaptiver und selbstorganisierender IT? Schließlich, und gerade im technischen Kontext viel zu selten betrachtet werden Fragen gesellschaftlicher und rechtlicher Implikationen des Einsatzes solcher Systeme. Im dem Maße, wie wir die Kontrolle an das System abgeben, muss das Vertrauen in die einwandfreie Funktion des Systems wachsen. Wir verfolgen in der Themenwahl für diesen Workshop einen klar interdisziplinären Kurs, der sich damit von verwandten Veranstaltungen abgrenzt, welche eine Auswahl überwiegend technischer Themen vorsehen. Ziel soll sein, die Vielschichtigkeit der neuen adaptiven, selbstorganisierenden Systeme in für die Forschung als auch für die Gesellschaft bedeutenden Aspekten zu beleuchten. Ziel ==== Dieser Workshop setzt die Reihe der Veranstaltungen fort, die mit Erfolg in den Jahren 2006 in Kassel, 2007 bei KiVS-Tagung in Bern, 2008 an der FH Wiesbaden und 2009 im Rahmen der KiVS-2009-Tagung in Kassel stattfand und Forschern Gelegenheit bot, ihre Beiträge zum Thema Selbstorganisation und Adaption vorzustellen. Der Workshop soll eine Bestandsaufnahme von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaktivitäten im deutschsprachigen Raum bieten. Diese Veranstaltung nimmt sich zum Ziel, die Kooperation der beteiligten Akteure weiter zu stärken und mittelfristig zu einer höheren internationalen Sichtbarkeit der deutschsprachigen Forschung und Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet zu führen. Insbesondere ist die Teilnahme von Vertretern aus der Industrie erwünscht, um den Kontakt zur industriellen Praxis zu intensivieren und gemeinsame Interessen auszuloten. Themen und Beiträge =================== Der Workshop wird sich den Themen der Selbstorganisation und Adaption in IT-Systemen widmen und dieses Themenfeld aus verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchten: Technik selbstorganisierender und adaptiver Systeme * Konstruktion und Evaluation von Systemen mit Selbst-Eigenschaften * Biologisch-insprierte Ansätze für Selbstorganisation und Adaption * Softwarearchitekturen für autonome und ubiquitäre Systeme * Selbstorganisation in dienstorientierten Architekturen * Adaptivität in Anwendungen und Middleware * Kontextmodelle und Kontextverarbeitung * Entwicklungsmethoden für personalisierte kontextsensitive Dienste * Integration von Anwendern in den Entwicklungsprozess * Akteure der Dienstentwicklung und des –betriebs * User Centered Design, Benutzerschnittstellen und Bedienkonzepte adaptiver und kontextsensitiver Systeme Soziale und rechtliche Implikationen in einer adaptiven IT-Welt * Vertrauen und Verlässlichkeit in selbstorganisierenden Systemen * Sozialverträgliche Gestaltung adaptiver und kontextsensitiver Systeme * Anwendungsdomänenspzifische Anforderungen und Lösungen (Automotive, Health, etc.) für adaptive und kontextsensitive Systeme * Verbindlichkeit und Verantwortlichkeit Neue Chancen durch Selbstorganisation und Adaption * Industrielle Anforderungen und Projekte * Forschungsprototypen und Erfahrungsberichte * Neue Wertschöpfungsketten, Geschäfts-, Service- und Betreibermodelle für adaptive und kontextsensitive Systeme Der Workshop soll insbesondere der Diskussion und der Vernetzung der Akteure dienen. Daher sind neben Berichten über bereits erzielte Ergebnisse auch Vorstellungen von neuen Projekten und laufenden Arbeiten sehr erwünscht. Einreichung =========== Die Einreichung von Beiträgen wird über das ConfTool-System vorgenommen. Beiträge können in Deutsch oder Englisch verfasst werden und müssen im PDF-Format vorliegen. Vollständige Beiträge sollen eine Länge bis zu 12 Seiten aufweisen; Kurzbeiträge sollen bis zu 6 Seiten umfassen; Industriebeiträge können als erweiterte Kurzfassung von 1-2 Seiten eingereicht werden. Stilvorgaben für verschiedene Textbearbeitungssysteme werden auf den Webseiten des Workshops angeboten. Die eingereichten Beiträge werden vom Programmkomitee des Workshops im Hinblick auf ihr Diskussionspotential und ihren Beitrag zu einem repräsentativen thematischen Querschnitt ausgewählt. Beiträge werden mehrfach begutachtet und in publikationsfähiger Form zusammengetragen.

CALL FOR PAPERS and SAVE THE DATE! 2010 International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, & Prediction (SBP10) Conference Website: http://sbp.asu.edu March 29 - April 1, 2010 Natcher Auditorium National Institutes of Health (NIH) Main Campus Bethesda, MD * Pre-conference Tutorial Sessions (TBA) : March 29, 2010 * SBP10 Conference (Single Track) March 30 - 31, 2010 * Post-conference Cross-Disciplinary Workshop: (Tentative), morning, April 1, 2010 Sponsored by Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Air Force Research Laboratories Office of Naval Research National Institutes of Health ABOUT SBP Due to the overwhelming success of its workshops in 2008 and 2009, Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling and Prediction (SBP) has become a high visibility, high-impact, international conference. Detailed information on SBP workshops (SBP08 and SBP09) including proceedings, presentations and invited speakers can be found at http://sbp.asu.edu Social computing harnesses the power of computational methods to study social behavior and social context. Behavioral modeling refers to representing behavior in the abstract and is a convenient and powerful way to conduct virtual experiments and scenario planning. Both social computing and behavioral modeling are techniques designed to achieve a better understanding of complex behaviors, patterns, and associated outcomes of interest. Moreover, these approaches are inherently interdisciplinary; subsystems and system components exist at multiple levels of analysis (i.e., "cells to societies") and cross disparate disciplines. Conference Offerings and Opportunities SBP10 is a highly interdisciplinary conference offering a rare and exciting opportunity for behavioral and social science researchers to come together with computational and computer scientists and other related disciplines in order to: * Gain fundamental working knowledge in a discipline outside oneís own through half-day pre-conference tutorials (More information will be posted to the conference website as it becomes available). * Showcase SBP research at paper and poster sessions * Meet people in complementary disciplines through deliberate exercises aimed at exploring potential research partnerships during the post-conference half day workshop Because this conference is being held in the Washington, D.C. area there will be a unique opportunity to meet with program staff across a variety of federal agencies including: Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Office of Naval Research (ONR), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This conference is emphatically interdisciplinary and provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, program staff from federal agencies and graduate students in disciplines such as sociology, behavioral science, psychology, cultural study, health sciences, economics, computer science, engineering, information systems, and operations research to convene in one place. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of social and behavioral computing and evaluation as they inform critical decision and policy making. The program will include invited speakers from government, industry, and academia, as well as research presentations and discussions. Call for Papers and Posters Papers or posters are solicited on research issues, theories, and applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, * Military and security applications of SBP o Group formation and evolution in the political context o Technology and flash crowds o Networks and political influence o Information diffusion o Group representation and profiling * Health applications of SBP o Social network analysis to understand health behavior o Modeling of health policy and decision making o Modeling of behavioral aspects of infectious disease spread o Intervention design and modeling for behavioral health * Basic research on sociocultural and behavioral processes using SBP o Group interaction and collaboration o Group formation and evolution o Group representation and profiling o Cultural patterns and representation o Social conventions and social contexts o Influence process and recognition o Public opinion representation o Viral marketing and information diffusion o Psycho-cultural situation awareness * Methodological issues in SBP o Verification and validation o Sensitivity analysis o Matching technique or method to research questions o Metrics and evaluation o Methodological innovation o Model federation and integration o Limitations of and barriers to SBP o Research gaps and opportunities Important Dates Paper/full text poster Due: Friday, November 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: November 27, 2009 Camera-Ready: December 11, 2009 Format and Submission Papers (maximum 8 pages) should be submitted in PDF format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFC: Book on Gender and Social Computing Datum: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 16:46:56 -0500 Von: Celia Romm Livermore <celiaromm(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Celia Romm Livermore <celiaromm(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Proposal Submission Deadline: November 14, 2009 Gender and Social Computing: Interactions, Differences, and Relationships A book edited by Dr. Celia Romm Livermore Wayne State University, USA To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=736 Introduction The past decades have seen a transformation in the role that information technology plays as an arena for gender relations. It is not just that the roles that men and women play in society have changed, but the role that technology plays in mediating gender behavior has changed too. Moreover, the range of arenas where interactions between genders can take place has expanded, with many new arenas now possible for gender relations that did not exist a few years ago. This book on Gender and Social Computing will target the myriad of issues that are associated with this transformation. Objective of the Book This book will aim to provide theoretical frameworks and empirical research findings in the area of gender and social computing. The book will be written for professionals who want to improve their understanding of the role that social computing plays in today�s world and the manner in which it affects gender relations. In particular, the Gender and Social computing book will focus on the impact of technology on gender relations in four arenas: (1) work, (2) Social networking organizations, (3) eDating, and (4) ePolitics, including the effect of information technology on gender relations in grass-root political movements, party politics, eGovernment, etc. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be professionals and researchers working in the fields of information, social studies, political science and gender research. The book will provide insights and support students, researchers, and members of the general public who are interested in the impact that technology has on gender relations and the many manifestations that the interplay between the two takes at this point in history. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following: 1. IT and Gender at Work � the behavior of men and women as on-line consumers, service providers, etc. � the roles that men and women play in virtual teams � the impact of gender on the IT profession � information technology as an enabler of leadership for women in various professions, � The effect of gender on adoption of IT in various professions � The impact of IT on changing the work/home balance 2. eDating � The ways in which IT affects the balance of power between consumers of eDating services, � The ways that technology affects the behavior of eDaters � The impact of culture on eDating practices � The manner in which technology shapes different eDating environments 3.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] EKAW 2010: Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 19:35:48 +0100 (CET) Von: Martin Hepp (UniBW) <martin.hepp(a)ebusiness-unibw.org> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; (apologies for cross-posting) International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management EKAW 2010 Lisbon, Portugal, 11th October-15th October 2010 http://ekaw2010.inesc-id.pt The 17th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and its role in the construction of knowledge-intensive systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent information integration, etc. The focus of the 17th edition of EKAW will be on "Knowledge Management and Engineering by the Masses".

Poster/demo notes and workshop/tutorial notes will be published separately in a companion booklet. Paper submission and reviewing for EKAW 2010 will be electronic via the EasyChair conference submissions site. Submissions should be 15 pages long (max) formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines. EKAW 2010 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application aspects. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methodologies, models, and tools for the following topics: 1) Knowledge Management * Methodologies and tools for knowledge management * Aspects of collaboration, distribution and evolution of knowledge in KM * Advanced knowledge modeling languages and tools * Best practices / experiences in KM * Foundations of KM * Entity-oriented approaches to KM * Layered intelligence in knowledge management * Provenance, reliability and trust in knowledge management * Knowledge management for collaboration and decision support * Methods for accelerating take-up of KM technologies * Corporate memories for KM * Case-based reasoning for KM 2) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition * Methodologies for knowledge engineering * Knowledge acquisition, ontology learning * Knowledge sharing * Knowledge evolution * Collaborative knowledge engineering * Design patterns * Techniques for knowledge acquisition based on machine learning, NLP etc. * Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge modeling * Knowledge engineering and software engineering * Ontology localization * Ontology alignment * Evolution of knowledge (including ontology evolution) * Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri, folksonomies, lexica etc.) * Knowledge acquisition and knowledge integration from heterogeneous sources (multimedia and 3D data, databases, sensor data streams, social interaction data) * Knowledge authoring and knowledge markup languages * Ontology evaluation * Dynamic, distributed and process knowledge (including web services, grid services, P2P systems, rules and business processes, problem solving methods, procedural knowledge) * Agent-based approaches to knowledge management * Knowledge mashups 3) Knowledge In Use: knowledge management and engineering for * Retrieval and proactive delivery of pertinent knowledge * Multimedia applications * Life and E-sciences * E-Government and public administration * Health and medicine * Automotive and manufacturing industry * Semantic desktop applications * The legal domain * Cultural heritage applications * Digital broadcasting and film, game and 3D media content production and sharing * Digital libraries * Virtual worlds * Storytelling * Management in critical applications * Organizing user-contributed content * Transition across organizations 4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Engineering * Sustainability and cost analysis of knowledge engineering * Human-knowledge interaction * Cognitive systems and knowledge engineering * Knowledge ecosystems * Knowledge and social network analysis & modeling * Knowledge in trust networks * Personal sphere in knowledge engineering and management * Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition 5) Special focus knowledge management and engineering by the masses * Human-machine synergy in knowledge acquisition * Incentives for knowledge creation and semantic annotation * Enhancing human productivity (e.g. knowledge workers) * Social and human factors in knowledge management * Collective and collaborative intelligence in knowledge management * Social tagging and folksonomies, social networks * Web2.0 approaches to KM (including semantic wikis, folksonomies, etc.) * Games with a Purpose and KM * Linked Open Data / Web of Data As an important difference to earlier conferences, EKAW will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria. The PC will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories. A) Standard research papers These are "standard" papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as proof-of concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation. B) In-use papers Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real and large datasets, involving many users etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting real, large-scale and complex systems that solve a significant problem. Technical details to understand how the problem is solved are required. Evaluations should involve real users of a system rather than representing a pure academic exercise. The papers will be evaluated according to the significance and practical relevance of the described research as well as with respect to the technical soundness of the described solution and accompanying evaluation. C) Problem Analysis papers We invite researchers to also publish problem analysis papers which do not present any novel method, technique or approach to solving a problem, but help to understand the problem itself. Understanding the characteristics of a problem itself is an important task in research and can benefit many people working on the same or at least similar problems. We expect in-depth discussions and analysis of a certain phenomenon or problem, with clear definitions as well as qualitative and quantitative analyzes of the main characteristics of the problem. We also expect a reasonable review of the state-of-the-art stating in how far current solutions fall short. Papers will mainly be evaluated with respect to how general and technically sound their problem analysis is and how useful it will be for other researchers working on the same problem. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a subproblem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, all corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. Evaluation criteria will also include appropriate categorization of the problem area and description of present solutions and approaches; and appropriate description of the limitations of the present solutions and approaches. D) Validation papers A fundamental characteristic of research is that it should be reproducible. In some disciplines, reproduction of results by others is a basic research activity. We would like to encourage researchers to reproduce and validate methods, results and experiments etc. proposed by others before in a new context or application, on new datasets, under new assumptions etc. The goal is clearly to reach interesting and significant new conclusions about the method/approach in question that warrant a stand-alone publication. The reproduction of results should thus lead to new knowledge about the method in question or reveal inherent problems in the assumptions of the original research or limitations of previous solutions. Papers will be evaluated with respect to the soundness of the rationale for reproducing a certain approach as well as with respect to the new knowledge that is generated by reproducing the approach in question. A clear comparison between the results obtained through the reproduction and the original results are mandatory. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Helena Sofia Pinto Phone + 351 - 21 - 3100388 Instituto Superior Tecnico Email sofia.pinto(a)dei.ist.utl.pt Departamento de Eng.
