-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Semantic Technologies for Business and Information Systems Engineering Datum: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 15:05:27 +0100 Von: Frank Teuteberg <frank.teuteberg(a)uni-osnabrueck.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the following call for papers. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to interested colleagues. With best regards, Stefan Smolnik, Frank Teuteberg, Oliver Thomas *** CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Semantic Technologies for Business and Information Systems Engineering: Concepts and Applications A book edited by Prof. Dr. Stefan Smolnik, European Business School (EBS), Germany Prof. Dr. Frank Teuteberg, University of Osnabrück, Germany Prof. Dr. Oliver Thomas, University of Osnabrück, Germany To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=691 Full Chapter Submission Deadline: December 30, 2009 Introduction There are increasing opportunities to consider the application of semantic technologies for business information systems. Semantic technologies are expected to improve business processes and information systems, and lead to savings in cost and time as well as improved efficiency. However, the degree of automation in enacting business processes and monitoring information systems and value chains is still unsatisfying. Current problems are representational heterogeneities between the various modeling notations used, the various (subjective) perspectives of the modelers on the application domains, or the different stages in the life-cycles of business processes. Interoperability and integration of advanced business information systems is concerned with the application of semantic technologies. These technologies allow for annotating meaning to business concepts and processes, and allow for automatically monitoring business systems and processes without human interactions. This edited book will explore the potential of semantic technologies for business and information systems engineering, and provide the state of the art in corresponding theoretical foundations and business applications. Objective of the Book This book will summarize the state of the art in applying semantic technologies for business and information systems engineering. Target Audience The targeted audience is varied. The book is expected to be a strong reference for students and researchers in semantic technologies for business and information systems engineering but also a source book for practitioners. The book will assist researchers in academia and industry, students, business process analysts, information management professionals, software engineers, and other practitioners in gaining knowledge on applying semantic technologies for advanced business information systems, in annotating semantics to business processes, and in semantically integrating advanced business information systems. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Powerful ontologies and ontology languages for advanced business information systems - Standardization efforts in ontology engineering - Methods, approaches, and tools for transforming conceptual models into ontologies - Semantic annotation of conceptual models using ontologies - Mapping, comparison, and analysis of conceptual models using ontologies - References models relevant to semantic technologies for advanced business information systems - Semantic interoperability between advanced business information systems - Business process annotation techniques and adaptation of semantic business process models - Business process intelligence and process mining - Context-aware process instantiation - Analysis of human behavior in designing, implementing, and applying semantic technologies in advanced business information systems - Semantic Web services and service-oriented architectures - Semantic technologies to support business activity monitoring and real-time business analytics - Applications of semantic technologies to solve various business problems - Business interoperability issues and examples of semantic business applications - Tools to ease the development of business information systems applying semantic technologies - Metrics for semantic conceptual models and ontology comparison, and their applicability in different application domains - Critical success factors for the application of semantic technologies for advanced business information systems - Case studies, experiments, and empirical studies on conceptual modeling and ontology engineering - Combination of semantic technologies with risk monitoring, compliance management, service level agreement management, quality management, and business process benchmarking - Successful applications in various industries (e.g., automotive, engineering, pharmaceutical), and (service) domains (e.g., environmental management, supply chain management, compliance management, risk management, business process management and/or monitoring, knowledge management) Submission Procedure Full chapters are expected to be submitted by December 30, 2009.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: Third International Workshop on Social Software Engineering (SSE'10) Datum: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:15:59 +0100 Von: Walid Maalej <maalejw(a)in.tum.de> Antwort an: Walid Maalej <maalejw(a)in.tum.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ********************************************************* CfP: Third International Workshop on Social Software Engineering (SSE'10) http://www1.cs.tum.edu/sse10/ Workshop in conjunction with Software Engineering 2010 Paderborn, Germany - February, 22.-26.02.2010 http://www.se2010.upb.de/ Submissions deadline January, 11 2010 ********************************************************* *** MOTIVATION *** Software is created by people, with people and for people. These people work in varying environments. They have their particular backgrounds and act under different conditions. Thus understanding the human and social aspects of software engineering is crucial to understanding how methods and tools are used, and thereby improving the creation and maintenance of software systems as well as the management of software projects. "Social Software Engineering" (SSE) focuses on the development of systems in highly uncertain domains, with evolving goals, frequent changes and much user involvement. SSE systems can often (but not exclusively) be found on the web. Related technical concepts are user feedback, mashups, and perpetual beta. However, beneath technical expertise developing social software systems requires competency from other disciplines as diverse as psychology, organizational science or economics. Besides the advent of social software applications, software engineering research recognized in recent years that effective collaboration and knowledge sharing are essential in order to guarantee successful software development and maintenance. Methods and tools that support development teams must be based on interdisciplinary research efforts that investigate technologies, tools, processes and human factors in a holistic manner. While both directions - engineering social software and dealing with social aspects in the software engineering process - receive considerable attention, we think that ultimately, both might confluence into a new software engineering paradigm. This workshop provides a forum for discussing high quality research on the social aspects of software engineering and the engineering aspects of social software, as well as a meeting place for the community that is currently distributed over several research domains (software engineering, knowledge management, web 2.0, human computer interaction). *** TOPICS OF INTEREST *** In this workshop we would like to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different aspects of collaboration and knowledge sharing in software engineering as well as the engineering of social software to discuss new results and future research challenges. Major topics addressed at the workshop include (but not limited to): The topics of the workshop include, but are not restricted to: * Social and human aspects of software engineering - Collaboration and knowledge sharing in development teams and (Open Source) communities - Impact of Social Software on development processes - Empirical studies on collaboration and information behaviour in social software engineering * Engineering social software - Engineering of lightweight and unobtrusive tools, Web 2.0 and Social Semantic Web applications - Approaches and tools for context-aware and personalized assistance - Particularities in the development of Social Software * Social Software Engineering - Concerns of individuals in collaboration settings, such as learning, usability and incentives - Usage of Social Software to teach software engineering, teaching social aspects of software engineering - Research methods and approaches for analyzing and designing successful collaboration support - Scientific analysis of the relation between methods/processes, tools and collaborative development practice *** TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS *** Full papers (max 10 pages), short papers (max 5 pages), posters and tool demonstrations (max 2 pages), as well as extended abstracts for Pecha Kucha talks are equally welcome for the workshop.

Now we release the CFP hoping to receive high quality papers on Mining Social Media. OVERVIEW ========= Recently, Forrester published a report, �The Future of the Social Web� where they sketched a timeline of the development of the Social Web, dividing its evolution in 5 eras. According to that report, the first era of the development of the Social Web started to explode the social relationships among users. Then, in the social functionality era, these social relationships resulted in the social functionality era where several websites started to add social functionalities in order to help users to interact with their peers. We are now in the era of Social Colonization, where technologies like Facebook Connect or Google Friend Connect have standardized social functionalities among websites and a vast majority of websites now include several social functionalities. Soon these federated identities will empower people to enter the era of social context with personalized and social content, and the development of tools for personalize social content will aim the development of the era of social commerce. The primary goal of the proposed special issue of International Journal of Electronic Commerce is to foster research in the interplay between Social Media, Data Mining and Electronic Commerce, trying to reflect the actual developments on technologies that fit on the Social Context era. SCOPE ====== The International Journal of Electronic Commerce is the #1-ranked journal on Electronic Commerce globally. This Special Issue will provide a significant opportunity for authors to publish important novel and original contributions in the area of Data Mining applied to Social Media. The guest editors seek papers and proposals that address various aspects of Mining Social Media, including recommender systems for social media, data mining algorithms designed to explode Social Networks, information management for Social Networks, etc. RESEARCH QUESTIONS ==================== We invite scholars and professionals from a broad range of disciplines to submit to this Special Issue.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd Call for Papers: 1. Symposium on Collective Intelligence - COLLIN 2010 Datum: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:06:11 +0100 Von: Ulrike Baumöl <Ulrike.Baumoel(a)FernUni-Hagen.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anbei erhalten Sie eine kleine Erinnerung an das 1. Symposium on Collective Intelligence (COLLIN 2010), das am 15. und 16. April 2010 an der FernUniversitÃ€t in Hagen stattfindet. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Einreichungen und die Diskussionen! Bitte entschuldigen Sie Mehrfachzustellungen! Mit freundlichen GrÃŒÃ�en aus Hagen Ulrike BaumÃ¶l -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: 01.12.2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Symposium on Collective Intelligence - COLLIN 2010 - 15.-16.04.2010 in Hagen (http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/collin2010/en/ <http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/collin2010>) Collective behavior and collective intelligence can be found in various contexts. For example, new designs of T-Shirts, Lego models or sports shoes are developed by the crowd in the web, the audience of the TV-show â��Who wants to be a millionaireâ�� can provide the answer to a question the candidate cannot answer. These are only few examples of the potential of collective intelligence. Changing environmental factors, like new information technology and changed customer behavior, allow for many opportunities for the emergence of collective intelligence. Collective behavior and the achieved results as well as the closely connected individual learning processes offer a high potential for value creation in different areas, like business, research or society. However, the potential of collective behavior, collective intelligence and learning in the context of value creation is widely unexplored. To harness this potential, it is important to understand the basic concepts, features and mechanism of collective intelligence based on interdisciplinary research. To provide a platform to share ideas and information between scientists and also between scientists and practitioners, a symposium on collective intelligence will take place from April 15 to April 16, 2010 at the FernUniversitaet in Hagen. Since the topic is highly interdisciplinary the symposium focuses on different research areas, like economics, informatics, media science, psychology, or sociology. We are planning to publish the conference proceedings in the Springer Series â��Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computingâ��. *Tracks:* *Track 1: Technology-enhanced learning in education and training - Knowledge construction and development of competencies in knowledge networks *Topics include, but are not limited to: - Pedagogical and didactical opportunities for technology-enhanced learning and teaching - Knowledge construction and interaction, communication and collaboration in learning tasks - Collaboration in communities and/or open networks - Instructional design models and principles - New trends in educational technology (Web 2.0, Open Educational Resources, Mobile learning) - Required competencies for learning, teaching and tutoring in technology-enhanced networks. - Support systems for students and teachers - Technical systems for the support of lifelong-learning, on demand learning and knowledge sharing - Change management, implementation and dissemination of innovation in education and training - Quality-management systems for technology enhanced learning - Assessment methods *Track 2: Web-based collective intelligence in innovation processes *Topics include, but are not limited to: - Methods and designs to use collective intelligence for value creation - Categorization of mechanisms of web-based collective intelligence - Business models for harnessing collective intelligence - Challenges and success factors to harness web-based collective intelligence in innovation processes - Methods to design environments for collective intelligent behavior - Methods and models to analyze web-based collective phenomena - Concepts to coordinate and control collective value creation - Scientific theories to analyze web-based collective intelligence - Scientific theories to analyze innovation processes and innovation networks - Technological and organizational triggers to promote collective intelligence - Case studies of using web-based collective intelligence for value creation * Track 3: Assessment factors, performance evaluation, and building blocks of Collectiveâ��Intelligence (CI)â��Systems *Topics include, but are not limited to: - Design requirements and development of CI-Systems - Architecture and components of CI-Systems - Case studies and applications of CI-Systems - Decision support systems considering social network information - Assessment factors for social networks - Performance evaluation of social networks - Mechanisms for establishing knowledge networks - Methods for designing CI-Systems - Mechanisms for extracting, storing, and accessing collective knowledge - Formal structures and representations of collective knowledge - IT-supported modeling of collective knowledge ** *Conference chairs* Theo J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Chapters Ubiquitous Learning: A Survey of Applications, Research, and Trends Datum: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 20:48:29 -0500 Von: Terry Kidd <ttkidd(a)hotmail.com> Antwort an: Terry Kidd <ttkidd(a)hotmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Chapters for Ubiquitous Learning: A Survey of Applications, Research, and Trends Editors: Terry T. Kidd, Texas A & M University, USA Irene Chen, University of Houston-Downtown, USA Introduction: The inevitable arrival of ubiquitous learning or uLearning for short within education is likely to follow the patterns set by the first generation of the World Wide Web. This trend will only become more pervasive and essential as learning continues to become ubiquitous and mobile. With uLearning, students can be actively involved with creating content and accessing large amounts of information for learning anywhere at any time at the same time they create new information and learning environments. Educators should determine how to embrace and focus their efforts to not only enhance teaching and learning process and its associated learning environments, but also take the leap of faith in using such tools. The purpose of this proposed text is to clarify and present potential applications and practices of uLearning for teaching and learning that meets the educational challenges of students in diverse learning setting. The aim and nature of the text is to disseminate knowledge on both the theory and practice of ubiquitous based teaching and learning and to promote scholarly inquiry and the development/adoption of best practice in this area. The main objectives of this text are to: 1. Provide novice readers with an introduction to the major issues surrounding both the theory and practice of u-learning. 2. Supply an avenue for cutting-edge research that will inform both novice and expert readers about emerging mobile and ubiquitous technologies that learning. 3. Present applications for teaching and learning in higher education, informal learning, as well as in K12 environments. 4. Showcase examples of current and emerging practice in innovative pedagogy, and demonstrate models of the integration of mobile and Web technologies that facilitates uLearning in university and K-12 teaching, learning and assessment. 5. Contribute to the development of best practices through the evaluation and documentation of successes and pitfalls of various techniques, approaches, and strategies related to u-learning. 6. Analyze and critique recent trends and nascent technologies in order to propose an agenda or �roadmap� for future research and development in the area of teaching (pedagogy) and learning scenarios and tools. Coverage: The proposed text will be divided into four sections. After an introductory section highlighting the history, philosophy, theory trends and issues, of uLearning, and relevant topics associated such as mobile learning. The second section will discuss applications, course design, and mobile and ubiquitous learning development. Section three will be devote to the latest in international perspectives and practices of uLearning in regions such as Canada, Brazil, South Africa, Europe, India and Asia. The final section will introduce case studies and research from selected authors that will highlight the multiple perspectives involved in uLearning. The editors invite researchers with proven success in integrating uLearning technology in instruction to contribute. Those who have worked with mobile technologies are also encouraged to submit their work. Proposed Topical Areas to include in the proposed edited text are the following: (We will solicit research based, practitioner-oriented and case study chapters solicited.) History and philosophy of uLearning Mobile and u-learning in distance and blended learning environments New/emerging paradigms and theoretical/pedagogical models for uLearning research and practice Instructional uses of mobile technology in education settings Instructional uses of u-learning in educational settings Pedagogical implications of social software and social network environments Web 2.0 and mobile technologies / mobile collaborative learning Implications of uLearning for teachers and students Institutional issues related to uLearning and social informatics (e.g. strategy, policy, and infrastructure) Mobile technology and learning management systems Case studies using u-learning for teaching and learning Case studies using mobile learning for teaching and learning Success factors and pitfalls in the implementation of u-learning-based teaching and learning Future directions of u-learning Trends and issues of uLearning U-learning trends for training and development Qualitative research perspectives in u-learning Quantitative research perspectives in u-learning International/global perspective of u-earning Invited Submissions: Individuals interested in the suggested topics above should submit a 1-2 paged proposal via email clearly explaining the intent of their proposed chapter by January 4, 2009.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP: OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium]
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Nov '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium Datum: Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:59:49 +0100 Von: Kris Ven <kris.ven(a)ua.ac.be> Antwort an: Kris Ven <kris.ven(a)ua.ac.be> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> --- Call for Papers --- OSS 2010 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM May 30, 2010, Notre Dame, IN, USA Website: http://www.ua.ac.be/oss2010dc Collocated with the 6th International Conference on Open Source Systems (OSS 2010; http://oss2010.org), a Doctoral Consortium will be organized on May 30, 2010. GOAL The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide PhD students with an environment in which they can share and discuss their goals, methods and results before completing their research. Students can apply for the Doctoral Consortium by submitting a paper describing their research proposal. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Feedback on the proposal will be returned to all authors. Participants will be selected based on the quality of the proposed research, its potential significance and contribution to the OSS domain, and the potential benefit of the Doctoral Consortium to the PhD student's research. PhD students that are accepted to the Doctoral Consortium, will give a presentation of their work. We aim to provide sufficient time for discussion (at least 20 minutes) to ensure that PhD students obtain quality feedback from the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs, the members of the program committee, as well as other PhD students. This feedback will allow them to enhance their own research proposal. We will also invite other faculty members to attend the Doctoral Consortium to stimulate discussion. Subsequently, doctoral students whose advisory committee lacks sufficient expertise with current OSS research may benefit in a number of ways from participating in the Doctoral Consortium with attending faculty. The Doctoral Consortium will take place on May 30, allowing participants to attend the OSS 2010 conference after the Doctoral Consortium. This allows PhD students to further discuss their research with other researchers in the following days. As well, because of the diversity of the communities involved, the Doctoral Consortium will allow PhD students to make connections beyond their own disciplines. As a result, we expect that participation will allow PhD students to develop a better understanding of the different research communities, which we believe will facilitate their participation in future inter-disciplinary research. We are currently trying to obtain funding for US-based students that would cover part of the travel and hotel costs. More information will be provided to students accepted for the Doctoral Consortium when available. Doctoral students outside the US are encouraged to seek funding with their local funding agency. A letter of recommendation can be provided by the Doctoral Consortium chairs upon acceptance. SCOPE The scope of research topics of the Doctoral Consortium is the same as for the main conference. We therefore invite submissions related to all aspects of open source software including, but not limited to software engineering perspectives, emerging perspectives, social science, and studies of OSS deployment. We invite submissions from PhD students in the early stages of their research (e.g., those who are at the end of their first year or in their second year), as well as in the late stages of their research (e.g., those who are close to graduating). PhD students who submit a paper to the Doctoral Consortium should at least have decided on a research topic or topic area, and have a proposal for an appropriate research method. Preferably, PhD students should still have the time to incorporate the feedback obtained during the Doctoral Consortium in their dissertation. IMPORTANT DATES January 15, 2010 Submission deadline for papers February 26, 2010 Decision back to authors March 12, 2010 Registration March 19, 2010 Camera ready papers due May 30, 2010 Doctoral consortium SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers submitted to the Doctoral Consortium should be between 3,000 and 4,000 words, not including references, and should be formatted using the same template as the main conference. Templates and an example paper can be downloaded from the "Author's Kit" section on the website of the Doctoral Consortium. Each submission must include title, author name(s) and affiliation, abstract, list of keywords and a complete list of references. Papers will be subjected to a single-blind review (in which the authors don't know the reviewers, but the reviewers know the authors). Submissions should at least discuss the following elements: the background of the research, the motivation for the research, the research question(s) addressed in the study and a description of the proposed research method. Students in the later stages of their research are encouraged to include an overview of their completed research activities. All manuscripts must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair website. Paper submission will open one month before the actual submission deadline. Detailed submission instructions will be provided in the "Paper submission" section of the Doctoral Consortium website. Submissions in both Word and PDF format are welcomed. Please note that the camera-ready version of papers accepted to the Doctoral Consortium must be submitted in either Word (.doc) or LaTeX format. The Doctoral Consortium website can be found at http://www.ua.ac.be/oss2010dc ACCEPTANCE Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the Doctoral Consortium. Submitting a paper to the Doctoral Consortium represents the author's agreement to allow the Doctoral Consortium Chairs to publish the paper in the Doctoral Consortium proceedings without compensation to the author. The parties understand that the author is granting a nonexclusive license and all copyrights remain the property of the author. Authors of accepted papers are required to register for and attend the Doctoral Consortium. They will also be asked to give a presentation on their work for about 20 minutes, which will be followed by a 20 minute discussion during which PhD students are given feedback on their work by faculty members and other PhD students. Should you require additional information, please contact Kris Ven (kris.ven(a)ua.ac.be).
