-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 1st Call for Papers: 2nd Practice-driven Research on Enterprise Transformation (PRET) working conference Datum: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 18:10:36 +0100 Von: Strecker, Stefan <stefan.strecker(a)uni-duisburg-essen.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CC: Strecker, Stefan bei uni-due.de <stefan.strecker(a)uni-due.de> <Please apologize for cross-postings.> *******************************************PRET2010****************************************** The 2nd Practice-driven Research on Enterprise Transformation (PRET) working conference 11 November, 2010, Delft, the Netherlands Important dates 28 March 2010, abstract submission deadline 27 June 2010, paper submission deadline 15 August 2010 notification of acceptance 29 August 2010 camera-ready copy 11 November 2010 conference Aims and objectives Modern day enterprises, be they businesses, organisations, or government departments, are in a constant state of flux. New technologies, new markets, globalisation, mergers, acquisitions, etcetera are among the "usual suspects" which require enterprises to transform themselves to deal with these challenges and new realities. Most information systems practitioners will find themselves working in a context of enterprise transformation. One could even go as far as to claim that a business oriented perspective on information systems is really about enterprise transformation, where enterprise transformation involves the use of methods and techniques from enterprise engineering, enterprise modelling, enterprise architecture, and information systems engineering. As a field of study, enterprise transformation requires a close interaction between practice and academia. What works and does not work requires validation in real-life situations. Conversely, it is in industrial practice where challenges can be found that may fuel and inspire researchers. The PRET working conferences are set up as a one day event in such a way that it attracts an audience from both industry and academia. PRET 2010 is a continuation of the PRET 2009 working conference which was organised as the industrial track at the 2009 CAiSE conference. The PRET 2010 working conference will be organised as part of the enterprise engineering week, and will be co-located with PoEM 2010 and TEAR 2010 in Delft. The most up-to-date information about PRET can always be found at: http://pret.enterpriseengineeringnetwork.org. Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: - Architecture governance - Business-IT alignment - Business process modelling - Collaborative and/or participative modelling - Cultural aspects of transformation - Design and implementation of CIO Offices - Enterprise architecture management - Enterprise engineering - Enterprise modelling - Enterprise modelling languages - Enterprise ontologies - Enterprise splitting and allying - ERP implementation - Design authorities - IT-enabled business transformation - Managing/governing enterprise evolution - Organisational change - Outsourcing of business and/or IT processes - Project Portfolio Management - Psychological and philosophical aspects - Requirements management - Roles and skills in enterprise transformation - Service-oriented architecture (wrt the enterprises and/or its applications) - Simulation of enterprise designs and models - Stakeholder management - Technology impact assessment "Game changing technologies" - Transformation, program and project management Event Format: PRET is a highly interactive event. The conference will be organized at a venue that stimulates discussion and open exchange of ideas and experiences. In addition to highly interactive paper sessions the event will include a number of parallel think-tank sessions focusing on various topics, aiming for further development of issues and directions shared between practice and academia. Paper types: Papers should reflect the mission of PRET, which is bringing together academia and the industry regarding the indicated topics. Papers should stimulate the discussion and the synergy between these two ?worlds?, with the ultimate objective of improving the field of enterprise transformation. Typical papers describe: real-life case studies, challenges from industry for the academic world, practical applications of theory and/or quantitative research results regarding enterprise transformation. Paper submission from industry as well as from young researchers (MSc. graduates, young PhD researchers) is strongly encouraged. Research results can be described in an elaborated way, since the typical paper length PRET is aiming for is 25-30 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings as a chapter. Submission guidelines Abstracts of proposed chapters, as well as the final chapters, should be submitted in PDF format via the submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pret2010. Chapter proposals should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to the PRET themes as discussed in the topics section. Work submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the duration of consideration. All submissions should include title, authors, and full contact information. Detailed instructions for authors are available on the LNBIP website: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0. Authors should expect their chapters to comprise of about 20 pages.

Conf. on Software Engineering (ICSE 2010) www.sbs.co.za/ICSE2010 Cape Town, South Africa, May 2-8, 2010 Important Dates: 25th January 2010 - paper submission 15th February 2010 - notification of acceptance 3rd March 2010 - camera-ready 8th May 2010 - workshop Software Development Governance is the key meeting point between software development processes and the business and regulatory context in which these processes must operate. Software organizations need to perform in a complex and demanding environment, and they are required to deliver more value in an effective and efficient manner while controlling the operational risks and meeting regulations. Studies show that effective governance is one of the key mechanisms by which organizations can guarantee meeting their business goals. Implementing governance in software projects enhances the ability to deal with risks and supports consistent decision making. These decisions are part of the development process e.g., business and organizational decisions that impact the technical decisions concerned with the product architecture and the product quality. The main goal of the workshop is to explore the relationship between business goals, organizational structure, and software development governance and the ways effective technical practices can be achieved given a particular set of goals and a particular organizational structure. We invite papers that deal topics related to software development governance, including (but not limited to): * Governance models and frameworks * Development environment support for software development governance * Governance mechanisms (policies, controls and measurements) that relate to contemporary software development projects and organizations * Governance roles and responsibilities in software development settings * The lifecycle of software development governance * Ways to assess software development governance and its effects * Enforcement of architectural and design authority * Managing exceptions in complex processes * Governance in highly regulated environments * Methods and tools to define and deploy software development governance approaches * Mining development processes * The evolution of development processes * Governance in software teams: distributed teams, agile teams, large-scale projects * The role of software development governance in achieving the business value and risk associated with projects including crisis management * Effective measurement of software development governance * Risk and valuation techniques for software development governance * Individual, societal, ethical or cultural issues raised by software development governance * Methods for increasing the awareness of the relationship between business, organizational, governance and the achievement of technical goals * Organizational structures appropriate to development processes * Balancing the need for oversight and managerial control with agile development * Governance in outsourced and federated development Submission Guidelines Submissions should be full research papers or short papers describing work-in-progress, or new ideas relevant to governance of software development. Papers must conform to the ICSE proceedings publication format and should not exceed 8 pages for full paper and 4 pages for short paper, including all text, references, appendices, and figures. Electronic submission is available through ICSE Cyberchair site. Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the participants of the workshop. 3rd SDG Organizers Yael Dubinsky, IBM Haifa Research Lab Philippe Kruchten, University of British Columbia Anthony Finkelstein, University College London Len Bass, Software Engineering Institute, CMU Sunita Chulani, Cisco Systems Rafael Prikladnicki, PUCRS Program Committee Len Bass, Software Engineering Institute, CMU (organizer) Michel Benaroch, Syracuse University Brian Berenbach, Siemens Daniel Berry, University of Waterloo Sunita Chulani, Cisco Systems (organizer) Paul Clements, Software Engineering Institute, CMU Yael Dubinsky, IBM Haifa Research Lab (organizer) Anthony Finkelstein, University College London (organizer) Slinger Jansen, Utrecht University Rick Kazman, Software Engineering Institute, CMU John Klein, Software Engineering Institute, CMU Philippe Kruchten, University of British Columbia (organizer) Frank Maurer, University of Calgary Rafael Prikladnicki, PUCRS (organizer) Kevin Sullivan, University of Virginia Peri Tarr, IBM Watson Research Giuseppe Valetto, Drexel University Avi Yaeli, IBM Haifa Research Lab The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

Zadeh Member, National Academy of Engineering, IEEE Fellow, ACM Fellow, AAAS Fellow, AAAI Fellow, IFSA Fellow, Director, Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing, Professor, University of California, Berkeley, USA PURPOSE / HISTORY: This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. We anticipate to have 2,000 or more attendees from over 85 countries participating at the Congress. A number of individual research tracks of WORLDCOMP have been held for many years; for example, PDPTA has been held annually since 1995 (PDPTA'10 is the 16th annual conference); ERSA has been held annually since 2001 (ERSA'10 is the 10th annual conference); ICAI has been held annually since 1999 (ICAI'10 is the 12th annual conference); other tracks of WORLDCOMP Congress have similar records. The motivation behind this federated conference is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the conferences. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. WORLDCOMP'10 will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel speakers have included: Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer/computer architecture, U. of California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known as Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as Father of Grid Computing; U. of Chicago & ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (pioneer/VR, U. of California, Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim Gettys (known as X-man, developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC), Prof. John Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming, Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] EDOC 2010: Call for Workshop Proposals; Deadline 10-12-2009 Datum: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 05:55:49 -0500 Von: Maria-Eugenia Iacob <m.e.iacob(a)utwente.nl> Antwort an: Maria-Eugenia Iacob <m.e.iacob(a)utwente.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ************************************************************************* Fourteenth IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2010) "The Enterprise Computing Conference" ************************************************************************* Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society (approval pending) and IEEE Communications Society Supported by OMG and The Open Group 25-29 October 2010, Vitória, ES, Brazil http://edoc2010.inf.ufes.br ************************************************************************** CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ************************************************************************** *ABOUT THE CONFERENCE* The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering technologies and methods contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise distributed application systems. EDOC 2010 will be the fourteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, IT architects, solution designers and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry and government. Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to business processes integration, management, execution and monitoring have become some of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing. Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing systems create challenges that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and across customer businesses. The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology. The themes of openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and objects, provide a useful and unifying conceptual framework. IEEE EDOC 2010 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain. *ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS* Workshops complement IEEE EDOC's main scientific program with presentations and discussions of both mature and preliminary project results, ideas, experiences, and knowledge in a way that is more interactive and more focused than paper sessions in the main conference program. To foster this interactivity and focus, workshops target a narrower range of topics and have smaller number of participants (often around 20 or more) compared to the main conference. EDOC 2010 workshops will result in useful exchanges of ideas, improvement of understanding of topics and issues, and clearer identification of important open research issues and possible approaches towards their solution. They will not only cover in-depth study of research issues, but also address relevant issues for enterprise computing practice. Workshops can discuss emerging topics and technologies that are already raising interest of the broader enterprise computing community. They can also be used as an opportunity for participants to coordinate efforts and establish collaborations. *STRUCTURE OF EDOC 2010 WORKSHOPS* Workshops should be organized in a manner that fosters discussions among participants and active engagement of participants. In this respect, each EDOC 2010 workshop should have at least one discussion session that complements sessions with presentations of peer-reviewed full and short workshop papers. To facilitate discussion of recent research results and ongoing projects, workshops should accept short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format), in addition to full papers (8 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing more mature results. Workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library(CSDL) and the IEEE Xplore. All submissions to workshops must comply with the IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings format guidelines http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) (please use the latest template as there have been updates recently). Submissions must be in English. At least 1 workshop chair has to be present at the workshop. At least 1 author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. (Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC.) IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop. Similarly, all other workshop participants, including chairs and keynote speakers (if any), should register for the whole EDOC conference. No workshop costs (e.g., related to workshop chairs or keynote speakers) can be covered by the EDOC conference. All EDOC 2010 workshops must have an informative Web page. In addition, the workshop chairs should vigorously advertise the workshop and the whole EDOC 2010 conference through all relevant distribution channels. EDOC workshops will normally last 1 day. However, it is also possible to organize half-day or 2-day workshops. *WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* We invite proposals for EDOC 2010 workshops satisfying the above general criteria. Workshop proposal submissions in PDF or TXT should be e-mailed to the EDOC 2010 Workshops Chair Dr. Maria-Eugenia Iacob (m.e.iacob at utwente.nl) with Subject line "EDOC 2010 Workshop Proposal Submission". Submission of a workshop proposal implies commitment to organize and hold this workshop at EDOC 2010 if the proposal is accepted. It also implies commitment to common EDOC 2010 workshop deadlines (listed below) for submission of workshop papers, notification of acceptance, and preparation of workshop proceedings. The received workshop proposals will be reviewed by EDOC 2010 organizers and all suitable proposals will be accepted into the EDOC 2010 program. The selection of workshops will be based primarily on the timeliness and expected interest in the workshop topic within the broader enterprise computing community, fit of the workshop within the scope of the EDOC conference, and its potential to contribute to the productive exchange of knowledge and ideas. Workshop chairs' ability (e.g., experience) to organize a successful workshop (particularly, to attract sufficient number of paper submissions and participants) will be also taken into consideration. Each workshop proposal should contain the following information: Title of the workshop 1.Proposed duration of the workshop 2.Name, affiliation, and e-mail addresses of the workshop chairs 3.Extended abstract (about 500-1000 words; approximately 1-2 pages) of the workshop, explaining importance of the workshop topics, fit within and complementarity with the EDOC 2010 conference, intended audience, and other relevant issues that are not adequately covered in the preliminary Call for Papers 4.Preliminary Call for Papers (not all Program Committee members have to be confirmed at the workshop proposal submission time, although it is certainly beneficial to have some preliminary acceptances) 5.Information about distribution channels (e.g., list-servs) that will be used for advertising the workshop 6.History of the workshop (if it was held before) 7.Short biographies (about 200 words each) of all workshop chairs, including information about past experience in organizing/chairing conferences and workshops *EDOC WORKSHOP DEADLINES* EDOC Workshop Proposals should be submitted by December 10th 2009. Notifications to workshop organizers will be sent out by December 17th 2009. Workshops will take place on the 25th or 26th October 2010 (the first two days of the conference). Workshop paper deadlines should follow this schedule (which enables the roll-out procedure and the publication of pre-conference proceedings in print and online): Workshop paper submission due: 17 April 2010 Workshop paper notification: 4 June 2010 Workshop paper camera-ready paper due: 16 June 2010 *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* General Chair: João Paulo A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Chapter (http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=755) Datum: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 00:50:24 -0500 Von: Kishor Vaidya, PhD <kishor.vaidya(a)canberra.edu.au> Antwort an: Kishor Vaidya, PhD <kishor.vaidya(a)canberra.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Inter-Organizational Information Systems and Business Management: Theories for Researchers A book edited by Dr. Kishor Vaidya, University of Canberra, Australia http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=755 Introduction Recent studies indicate that the assimilation of Web-based inter-organizational information systems (IOIS) into mainstream business is occurring at a much slower than expected pace and the implementation and use of them has not been smooth with business press reporting a number of failures of IOIS initiatives in public and private sector agencies. While in some cases this may be due to various technology and business process risks, most often the reasons are rooted in social and contextual issues including internal and external business risks. As IOIS is a multidisciplinary area with a strong commitment to theory-based and industry-relevant practice and research, it allows multiple theories and perspectives to be used in the identification, understanding, and mitigation of various risks in order to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and other indicators of organizational performance. Using multiple theories broadens our appreciation of IOIS and opens up new ideas and possibilities for change and transformation in business management. Theories can also help reason through complex situations and make us aware of the assumptions and values underlying our practice. Theories provide means to form meaningful conclusions to understand the underlying causes of phenomena, which in turn influence how researchers carry out their research and leaders design and manage their information systems. Objective of the Book This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area. It will be written for research students and their supervisors who are always in search of relevant theories to carry out their research, and for practitioners who want to improve their understanding of information systems and their impact on business performance. An understanding of IOIS and related organizational theories is important to the work of all business and IT professionals, including executive managers who determine the organisation's strategic direction, information professionals who design and deliver new information services, and business managers who use information systems for change management and business reporting. Various organizational theories have been developed, which try to explain the relevant behaviors and activities within the organizations adopting or using various information systems. However, only some of the theories have been consistently tested to be valid and influential over time. The purpose of this book is to highlight the most influential organizational theories and their applications in IOIS and Business Management. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of IOIS and business management in various disciplines, for example information technology, information and communication sciences, administrative sciences and management, supply chain/logistics management, public procurement, customer relationship management, knowledge management, and e-business/e-government. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Theories of Technology Assimilation Theory of Reasoned Action Technology Acceptance Model DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model Network Externality/Critical Mass Theory Diffusion of Innovation Theory Transaction Cost Theory Social Exchange Theory Institutional Theory Structurational Theory of IT Assimilation Stakeholder Theory Resistance Theory Resource-based Theory Process/Task-Technology-Fit Theory We believe that each of the theories mentioned above offers its own focus and explanation, predictive power and frameworks for the study of IOIS from multiple perspectives. Furthermore, a set of these theories when integrated and adapted can provide a systematic frame of reference for investigating the implementation of IOIS initiatives. While each of the theories has individually received attention in prior innovation/IOIS literature, they have not yet been collectively brought together into a single book. Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 15, 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 January 15, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 15, 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. Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the �Information Science Reference� (formerly Idea Group Reference), �Medical Information Science Reference,� �Business Science Reference,� and �Engineering Science Reference� imprints.

This has already resulted in considerable research on these aspects that are related to disciplines like Information Systems, Software Engineering and Service Science, as for example, how empirical research should be conducted, what are the conditions for "valid" knowledge, and which the scope of theories in these fields are. These are elements that are of interest from perspectives as diverse as philosophy, engineering and technology. For example, the material and temporal entities that are dealt with in the field are a matter of ontology, and the conditions for credibility of statements and research methods are a matter of epistemology. Hence the relationship and influences between software, information systems and service science will be studied from an ontological view point, but with a broad perspective under which researchers with different background can meet and truly multi-disciplinary issues can arise. As in the previous editions the main goal of this event is to allow challenging and promising cross-fertilization over multidisciplinary research areas to be tackled and investigated by all the participants. The design of systems in which parts have complex interactions, more and more the understanding of theoretical, epistemological and conceptual frameworks coming from the human and social sciences. Topics therefore include (but are not limited to) the following: - Ontology and formal ontology representations of Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Service Engineering and Information Systems. - Studies and essays about metrics, indicators and general issues regarding research on Software, Services and Systems Engineering. - Conceptualizations, bodies of knowledge or schemas for software engineering, service engineering and information systems. - Applications that deal with representations of concepts and relations of the disciplines. - Social, psychological and organizational issues about the disciplines. - Epistemological and philosophical aspect of software and service development. - Architectural patterns and ontologies for the design of high-quality services. - UML and other modelling frameworks for services. - Ontologies in requirements engineering, intensional and goal modelling in the context of services - Ontology driven development of service software. - Natural language verbalization of service ontologies. - Social, technical and economic impacts on IS and service sciences. - Ontologies and models for the Quality of service. - Ontologies and models representing customer issues. - Ontologies and process models. - Ontologies and models to improve the service efficiency - Models of Software as a Service (SaaS) - Models and ontologies related to the Internet of Services and Things - Semantic Integrity of static and dynamic aspects PUBLICATION Accepted papers will be published in Workshop post-proceedings with Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP).
