The increasing of adoption of methods from computational intelligence, biologically inspired computing,and optimization in engineering discipline such as mechatronics or production enables the development of a new class of autonomous systems. These systems often posses abilities which are best describe by the phrase Self-X:Self-Optimization, Self-Coordination, Self-Healing, Self-Repair and many more. These properties have in common that they shift decision making from humans to the technical systems. This shift has two possible benefits. First, decision made during the design of the system can be delayed until operation and thus the system is able to react more flexible to different application requirements. Second, the human effort in managing such systems can be reduced and the corresponding systems are more cost-efficient.This special session is dedicated to this new type of Systems in the area of mechatronic systems and production systems. =============================TOPIC AREAS========================================== Applications of Self-X and Autonomous Control * Mechatronics * Robotics * Vehicles * Production Systems * Supply Chain Management Algorithms and Methods for Self-X and Autonomous Control * Autonomous Planning and Scheduling * Agent-Based Systems, Multiagent-System, Holonic Control Systems * Modelling uncertainty, Optimization and Planning under uncertainty * Multi-Objective and Multi-Criteria Optimization * Machine Learning * Identification of noisy data * Biologically inspired Methods: Ant-Based Optimization, Artificial Immune Systems, etc. Platform Technologies for Self-X and Autonomous Control * Reconfigurable Hardware * System Software for Self-X and Autonomous Control * Distributed Control * Flexible Resource Management in Embedded Systems * Self-Healing Embedded Systems Design Methodologies * Reference Processes for Product Design * Formal Verification * System Validation * Design Methodologies for safe and reliable systems * Solution Pattern for Self-X and Autonomous Control =============================PAPER SUBMISSION========================================= Prospective participants are requested to electrically submit full papers of their work (6 pages) following the instructions available on the INDIN 2010 website: http //indin2010.ist.osaka.ac.jp/index.html Please submit your Full Paper until January 23, 2010 on http://ieee.ies.org/submit/indin10/ IMPORTANT DATES January 15, 2010 Deadline for Special Session Papers February 16, 2010 Acceptance Notification April 20, 2010 Final papers for publication July 13-16, 2010,8th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics =============================PROGRAMM COMMITEE========================================== Dangelmaier, Wilhelm, Heinz Nixdorf Institute, Germany De Jong, Steven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Donoth, Jörg, Heinz Nixdorf Institute, Germany Frank, Ursula, Beckhoff Automation GmbH, Germany Freudenberg, Reinhard, Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering of RWTH Aachen University, Germany Gans, Jan Erik, Daimler AG, Germany Gausemeier, Jürgen, Heinz Nixdorf Institute, Germany Hahn, Martin, iXtronics GmbH, Germany Hirsch, Martin, Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering ISST, Germany Kaiser, Ingo, Miele & Cie.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: 12th Int'l Conference on Informatics and Semiotics in Organisations Datum: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:19:44 +0000 Von: ICISO Secretariat <ICISO_Secretariat(a)mail.vresp.com> Antwort an: ICISO Secretariat <reply-4ebd69f6aa-4e58fd802c-b52e(a)u.cts.vresp.com> An: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Pervasive Informatics in the Digital Economy 12th International Conference on Informatics and Semiotics in Organisations IFIP WG8.1 Working Conference (approval pending) July 19-21, 2010, Reading, UK www.orgsem.org/2010 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>><><<><<<<<>> The 12th International Conference on Informatics and Semiotics in Organisations, (ICISO 2010), previously named International Conference on Organisational Semiotics (ICOS), is the twelfth in a series of international events devoted to the latest research in informatics in organisations and organisational semiotics. In the present era, information and knowledge are key to the development of the current society and economy. The digital economy is driven by the effective use of information and communication technology to help enhance the quality and transform the lives of individuals, society and business. Information is the critical resource on which humans are constantly dependent in conducting purposeful activities and achieving their objectives. Pervasive Informatics, as an emergent discipline, studies how information affects humans in built environments. The built environments provide spatial contexts for business organisations, government institutions, commercial enterprises, and other business settings, as well as buildings and spaces for working and living. The majority of human activities (e.g. related to social, economic and scientific purposes) take place in a built environment. Increasingly, information is provided pervasively to the users within the built environment. With the support of appropriate technology, the users can access to the information as they need; although often they may also have to face with the information even if not wanted. A user may therefore be immersed in the field of information whether or not it is desired by the user. Such a phenomenon of pervasiveness has been bringing revolutionary impact to the human society. Pervasive Informatics helps us to understand the nature and characteristics of information from its creation, representation, processing and utilisation, embedded within the complex interactions between humans and built environments. It is concerned with approaches and methods on how information can be managed and used to enhance the effectiveness of work and quality of life. Following tradition, ICISO 2010 aims to provide a focal forum for active researchers, practitioners, business and industrial professionals and academics from diversified domains of information management and information systems, and from business and engineering. They will be able to share their latest research achievements and practical experiences, to exchange in-depth findings and innovative ideas, and in particular to harness the greatest challenges in the changing era and thinking seriously into the future. The ICISO 2010 will also continue the effort of the international research community in the development of the emergent discipline of informatics and its applications. It will focus not only on theory building, but also on the practical benefits gained so far through applications of methods and techniques derived from various approaches. Research papers describing original work in relevant areas are invited. Industrial and work-in-progress papers are also welcome. Topics ------------ Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Organisational Semiotic theory, concepts, methods and techniques, and their practical applications • Semiotically motivated approaches to information systems • Pragmatic web and context-aware approaches and applications • Semantic web and applications • Service-oriented architecture, design and implementation • Business and IT strategies • Alignment and integration of business and technical systems • Adaptive architecture for information systems • Enterprise information systems and value chain management • Enterprise applications for logistics, customer relationship management and supply chain management • Information engineering and complex systems • Agent-based information systems and business intelligence in organisations • Collaborative systems for organisations • E-government, e-commerce, mobile and pervasive commerce • Business process and workflow modelling, analysis, integration and management • Digital economy: theory, methods and techniques for design and applications • Pervasive informatics in organisations • Intelligent spaces and built environments for working and living • Construction informatics for sustainable environment • Information utilisation and technology management for sustainable economy • Digital content management Important dates --------------------- Full paper submission: 1 February, 2010 Notification of acceptance: 1 April 2010 Camera-ready version: 15 May 2010 Conference: 19 – 21 July 2010 Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that must not be published elsewhere and not currently under review for any other publication.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2010 Minitrack on Understanding and Managing Shared Services in Public-Sector Organizations Datum: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:41:13 -0500 Von: Frank_Ulbrich <Frank_Ulbrich(a)carleton.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems August 12-15, 2010, Lima, Peru E-Government Track Minitrack: Understanding and Managing Shared Services in Public-Sector Organizations DESCRIPTION In an era of declining budgets and increasing demand for service delivery/quality, public-sector organizations are seeking for more effective and cost-efficient means of delivering services. One way to target these OECD-wide preconditions in the public-sector is through adopting shared services in these organizations. Shared services is often referred to as independent organizational entities that provide well-defined services for more than one unit within an organization. However, a common accepted definition in literature and practice is not given. Shared services comes in a broad variety: it copes with service delivery from IT to HR or accounting to legal. The operation of shared services varies from country to country. Local initiatives prevail in, for example, Swedish government agencies or German municipalities whereas enterprise-wide initiatives are wider spread in Canada through the Canadian Shared Services Bureau or in the UK where shared services initiatives have been launched by the Cabinet Office. Common for shared services is that they make use of advanced information and communication technology. Many services are information-intensive and delivered digitally to the customers. The use of advanced information and communication technology enables changes in business practices, processes, and the organizational form, which makes the shared services idea an excellent opportunity for studying IT-enabled organizational change on an applicable level. In this minitrack we seek to enhance the understanding of shared services in public-sector organizations and how they are managed. We invite researchers to contribute with formal definitions or observations of common adoption patterns/configurations. We seek to better understand the dynamics behind the adoption of the shared services idea and its institutionalization in public-sector organizations. We are particularly interested in empirical findings with regard to the day-to-day business of shared services centers, how they are controlled and governed at operational, tactical, and strategic levels to ensure the accomplishment of the initial goals of cost reduction and quality enhancement. SUGGESTED TOPICS Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to: - Adoption of shared services - Comparative studies between private and public-sector shared services - Configuration of shared services - Definitions and classifications - Descriptive studies on implementation - Driving forces for implementing shared services - Governance - Institutionalizing shared services - IT shared services in public-sector organizations - Organizational aspects of shared services - Organizational maturity of shared services - Performance management/measurement - Research implications on policy development - Technological barriers and enablers for shared services IMPORTANT DATES February 26, 2010 Deadline for paper submissions. April 12, 2010 Notification of acceptance of papers. April 26, 2010 Final copy due.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: AMCIS 2010 Mini-Track "Case Studies on Enterprise Systems" Datum: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 11:21:53 +0100 Von: Leimstoll Uwe <uwe.leimstoll(a)fhnw.ch> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CC: Petra Schubert <psc.caict(a)cbs.dk>, "Mark Ginsburg (mark(a)seventhrank.com)" <mark(a)seventhrank.com> ********************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Mini-Track Case Studies on Enterprise Systems ********************************************************** 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2010) August 12 - 15, 2010, Lima, Peru Official AMCIS 2010 Web Site: http://www.amcis2010.org <http://www.amcis2010.org> ********************************************************** DESCRIPTION The idea of this mini-track is to present case studies on enterprise systems. Case studies have long been used as a research methodology, especially in the area of managerial sciences. In recent years they find growing attention in the area of IT research and practice. Enterprise systems projects are often complex and expensive. The implementation of IT applications requires a combination of management und information technology expertise. Companies need software applications that ideally support their business processes thus providing them with a competitive advantage. Case studies are recognized as a valuable means to demonstrate the kind of applications that can be successfully implemented. It is important to show how companies can master the challenges of complex projects for enterprise systems. We call for papers that describe case studies on the planning and implementation of enterprise systems. Methodology papers dealing with case studies as a research instrument are also welcome. The case studies should focus on one or more of the following topics: * Business process integration, collaborative business * Enterprise application integration (EAI) * ERP-based e-business applications (e.g. CRM, SCM, E-procurement solutions) * ERP and CMS integration * Alignment of corporate strategy and IS strategy * Management of ERP projects * Formats and standards used in enterprise systems * Areas of use and value of case studies * Structured schemes for writing, analyzing, and describing case studies * Cross-case analysis METHODOLOGY: CASE STUDIES The described case studies should meet the following basic requirements. Each case study should be based on a real-world company and provide sufficient detail on the experiences associated with the implementation of the software application. The discussion should include the following four perspectives: (1) business (including motivation and objectives), (2) processes, (3) software applications (including software solution and systems architecture), and (4) technology. An example of a suitable structure is the description of the company (history, products, vision) and its IS strategy, parties involved (ERP vendor, IT consultant, system integrator, business partners), the enterprise system (from the four perspectives), project management (including implementation aspects), and lessons learned (costs and benefits, success factors). An inherently managerial-oriented style of writing should allow students and managers to understand and appreciate the strategic and operational challenges faced when implementing the described solution. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of abstracts to mini-track chairs (optional): as soon as possible Paper submission deadline: February 26, 2010 Notification of acceptance: April 12, 2010 Camera ready copy due: April 26, 2010 SUBMISSION PROCESS Submit abstracts via email to Uwe Leimstoll (mailto:uwe.leimstoll@fhnw.ch) as soon as possible.

Agility thus has become the new guiding principle for enterprises. This requires flexible organizational structures and business processes, as well as flexible supporting information systems and a flexible ICT-infrastructure. In addition, an enterprise needs to be able to easily expand or shrink, be it through cooperation with other enterprises, through mergers or acquisitions, or through insourcing or outsourcing of services. In order to meet these economical requirements, enterprises rely increasingly on the benefits of modern information and communication technology (ICT). However, the appropriate knowledge to deploy this technology as needed, and in an effective and efficient way, is largely lacking, particularly knowledge regarding the cooperation in and between enterprises and knowledge regarding the interoperability of their information systems. Focus and Goal -------------- The CIAO! workshop is a leading workshop in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering, which is based on the notions of Enterprise Ontology and Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Ontology is conceptually defined as (the understanding of) the essence of an enterprise. Operationally, it is its highest-level constructional model, completely independent of the way in which it is implemented. Enterprise Architecture is conceptually defined as the normative restriction of design freedom. Operationally, it is the set of design principles that are applicable to the (re)design of the enterprise's business processes, organization, information systems, etc. The goal of the workshop is to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about these issues, in particular about the application of the notions of architecture and ontology in dealing with inter- and intra-organizational business processes and the interoperability of supporting information systems. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes * Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes * Cooperation theories (e.g., the language-action-perspective) * Domain reference ontologies * Enterprise ontologies * Enterprise architectures * Business rules * Information system ontologies * Information system architectures * Component-based system development * Ontology-based web services * Interoperability testing and verification * Service Oriented Architecture Organization of the Workshop ---------------------------- The CIAO! 2010 workshop is the 6th workshop of a series of successful workshops. (CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at the CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences so far. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our inspiring experience of the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009 workshops, the CIAO! 2010 workshop is planned again to be a real workshop, providing ample time for discussions and group works, during two days. Consequently, the paper presentations will be short, covering only the highlights. In addition, the focus of discussion will be on CIAO: the problem areas Cooperation and Interoperability, and the application of Architecture and Ontology in dealing with them. Submission Conditions --------------------- Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at Springer LNBIP Web page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0 ).

Fwd: IEEE CQR 2010: Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IEEE CQR 2010: Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 22 Dec 2009 13:02:49 -0500 Von: meetings(a)comsoc.org An: <gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at> *IEEE Communications Society 2010 International Communications Quality and Reliability (CQR) Workshop 8-10 June 2010 / The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada http://www.ieee-cqr.org/ <http://www.magnet101.com/ls.cfm?r=249853993&sid=8252553&m=894696&u=IEEECOMS…>* The annual IEEE CQR International Workshop is held with the purpose of bringing together industry and academic experts to present and discuss communications quality, reliability and security issues as they relate to real world issues. Continuing the tradition, CQR 2010 will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of ongoing research in two program tracks: Industry-focused Strategic Track and Technical Paper Track. For the Strategic Track, 3 themes aligned with CQR's Charter: Quality & Reliability of Service, Network and Product/System are being organized. Topics and presentations of past years can be found on the CQR events page http://www.comsoc.org/~cqr/events.html. In addition, there will be a special theme on the Telecommunications of Olympic Games. In the Millennium Workshop (CQR2000), select industry executives, seasoned managers, and senior subject matter experts from sponsor organizations of world-class events, telecommunication companies, and government officials of host cities/countries came together to discuss the requirements and steps necessary to build and operate a "Perfect Network" for such events. Among them were people who played a pivotal in the success of the Winter and Summer Olympiads in the 1992-2006 period. They shared experiences, plans, "do lists", and their vision to ensure a "Perfect Service". The three intense days of selected presentations focused on how to avoid "re-inventing the wheel" every time that a city or country becomes a candidate/host for such world class events. The output of the Millennium Workshop was published in a well received special issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine (July 2001, Vol. 39, No. 7). Ten years later, this sequel CQR Workshop will focus on the unique challenges of hosting Olympiads in the Internet and wireless era. Evolving network architectures and technologies pose interesting challenges in measuring the "end-to-end" reliability and QoS, two critical aspects regarding the resilience of the Olympic Networks. The goal of this sequel workshop is to cover the Winter and Summer Olympic Games in the 2008-2016 period. Key people from the International Olympic Committee, the Organizing Committees, the Grand Telecom Sponsors, and the telecom industry involved in the telecommunications aspects of those Games will be invited to participate. For the Technical Paper Track, authors are invited to submit a paper related to various aspects of QoS and Reliability for the following topics and technical areas: * Grid and Distributed Computing * Mobile and Ad Hoc Networks * Overlay Networks * Multimedia Networks and VoIP Services * VPN, MPLS and Multicast Services * Web Services * Broadband Audio Visual Services * Multi-sensory Communications * Current and Next-generation Internet * Emerging Technologies and Services The detailed technical area includes: * Measurements Techniques * Network Architecture and Design * Network Security * Network Survivability * Operations, Administration and Maintenance * QoS Metrics and Measurement * QoS Policy and Assessment * QoE Assessment and Management * Traffic Control * Traffic Modeling and Characterization Key Dates for the Technical Paper Track: *12 January 2010* Paper submission deadline *15 March 2010* Notification of acceptance *12 April 2010* Camera-ready paper submission deadline *Organizing Committee:* General Program Co-Chairs: James Runyon, Alcatel-Lucent, USA, jrunyon(a)alcatel-lucent.com Martin Guldberg, Verizon Wireless, USA, martin.guldberg(a)verizonwireless.com Technical Program Chair: Yutaka Ishibashi, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, ishibasi(a)nitech.ac.jp For a complete list of the TPC members, paper submission guidelines and future updates, please visit the CQR 2010 website *http://www.ieee-cqr.org/* <http://www.magnet101.com/ls.cfm?r=249853993&sid=8252554&m=894696&u=IEEECOMS…> _Note:_ Papers accepted for CQR 2010 will be included in the Workshop Proceedings, IEEE XPlore, and EI Index, with the exception that IEEE reserves the right to exclude any paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
