-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CF Workshop Proposals - NDT 2010 Datum: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 04:22:46 -0500 Von: Saba Saras <bamasaba(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Saba Saras <bamasaba(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR Workshop proposals and special sessions Second International Conference on Networked Digital Technologies (NDT 2010) Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, July 6-8, 2010 http://www.dirf.org/ndt2010/ ndt(a)dirf.org The Second International Conference on 'Networked Digital Technologies' (NDT2010) which will be held in Prague, Czech Republic during the period of July 6-8, 2010 seeks proposals for workshops or special sessions on cutting edge technology of networking. The website for the conference is www.dirf.org/ndt2010. This might include digital technology applications for the various disciplines. For the creation of research clusters, the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary, and directed in piecemeal fashion. There is a need to provide concerted efforts in building federated digital technologies that will enable the formation of network of digital technologies. Topics might include, but not limited to : Information and Data Management Data and Network Mining Intelligent Agent-Based Systems, Cognitive and Reactive Distributed AI Systems Internet Modeling User Interfaces, Visualization and Modeling XML-Based Languages Security and Access Control Trust Models for Social Networks Information Content Security Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Network Management Web Services Architecture, Modeling and Design New Architectures for Web-Based Social Networks Semantic Web, Ontologies (Creation, Merging, Linking and Reconciliation) Web Services Security Quality of Service, Scalability and Performance Self-Organizing Networks and Networked Systems Data management in Mobile Peer-to-Peer Networks Data Stream Processing in Mobile/Sensor Networks Indexing and Query Processing for Moving Objects User Interfaces and Usability Issues form Mobile Applications Mobile Social Networks Peer-to-Peer Social Networks Sensor Networks and Social Sensing Social Search Social Networking Inspired Collaborative Computing Information Propagation on Social Networks Resource and Knowledge Discovery Using Social Networks Measurement Studies of Actual Social Networks Simulation Models for Social Networks Cloud computing Grid computing Green Computing For the workshop/special session proposal, the workshop should provide an informal and vibrant opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research positions, original research results and practical development experiences on specific new challenges and emerging issues. The workshop/special session topic should be focused so that the Participants can benefit from interaction with each other and the cohesiveness of the topic. The organizers and chairs of the workshop/special session shall have full control on the call for papers, forming of program committees, review and selection of papers as well as planning the workshop program. HOWEVER, the program committee chairs are not allowed to submit papers to the workshops for a fair review process. The registration fees for workshops/special session will be determined by the conference (not the workshop itself). The fees will be paid to the conference, and the conference will provide workshop facilities including the working notes printing, the meeting room, coffee break, lunch, proceedings and etc. Any further expense of the workshop such as financial aid for invited speakers MUST be provided by the workshop itself upon getting some sponsors for their own workshops. The money from workshop/special session sponsors will be received by the workshop itself. After the workshops/special sessions, all the outstanding papers have the right to be included in special issue journals of the conference beside the proceedings. The workshop/special session chair must organize a review committee to select the outstanding papers from the papers presented in the workshop. Based on the reviews, each selected paper should be further improved for the camera ready version. Further details are available in the conference URL. Prospective workshop/special sessions should send a proposal (maximum two pages) to the ndt(a)dirf.org which include the necessary information such as the title of the workshop/special session, objectives, scope, etc. Note: The workshop should have at least 12 papers and the special session should have at least 6 papers. We look forward to your proposals and contributions to NDT2010 workshops/special sessions. The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

Fwd: [WI] 2nd CfP: ACM CHI 2010 Workshop on Context-Adaptive Interaction for Collaborative Work (CAICOLL 2010)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CfP: ACM CHI 2010 Workshop on Context-Adaptive Interaction for Collaborative Work (CAICOLL 2010) Datum: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:22:29 +0100 Von: Lukosch, Stephan <S.G.Lukosch(a)tudelft.nl> An: <bcs-hci(a)jiscmail.ac.uk>, <cscw-sig(a)jiscmail.ac.uk>, <contici(a)uni-siegen.de>, <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de>, <CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG>, <fgcscw(a)gi-ev.de>, "AISWORLD Information Systems World Network" <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CC: Jürgen Ziegler <juergen.ziegler(a)uni-due.de>, "Joerg Haake" <joerg.haake(a)FernUni-Hagen.de>, "Volkmar Pipek" <volkmar.pipek(a)uni-siegen.de> ======================================================================== ACM CHI 2010 Workshop on Context-Adaptive Interaction for Collaborative Work (CAICOLL 2010) April 10, 2010, Atlanta, GA, USA Submission deadline: January 6, 2010 http://www.caicoll.org ======================================================================== WORKSHOP GOALS This workshop addresses facilitation of collaborative work by context-adaptive techniques. Context-based adaptation can support users in a variety of ways, e.g., by offering the tools most appropriate for a certain type of collaboration, by providing templates for artifacts to be produced, or by filtering content relevant for a joint activity. While adaptive (single) user interfaces have been an area of research for considerable time adaptation for collaboration is far less investigated. The notion of context in collaborative work raises a variety of interesting research issues. So far, attempts to structure and classify the multi-faceted concept of context have been mainly directed at individual, rather than cooperative usage scenarios. The importance of common ground, e.g., for electronically mediated communication has been pointed out repeatedly, but theoretical concepts have hardly been translated into explicit models or concrete adaptation mechanisms. We also see a major challenge in integrating 'exogenous' physical context such as location, time or device used with 'endogenous' context factors such as the users' roles, topical interests, experience profiles or used collaboration tools. For this purpose, integrated, coherent representations of these context aspects will be needed, making them explicit and exploitable by adaptation mechanisms. Ontology-based context models promise to provide coherent representations but are still in their initial stages. Other important issues are how to combine individual contexts into shared collaborative contexts, and how to combine folksonomy-based bottom-up approaches with the benefits of standardization that ontologies traditionally provide. Finally, it is largely unresolved how to define effective and acceptable adaptations for groups. While there has been a considerable amount of research into supporting co-located or remote meetings, more general issues of supporting collaboration by adaptations are still open. The workshop aims at identifying and structuring context factors for collaborative work, trying to elaborate a generalized notion of context including physical and tool-related aspects, common ground related to content and process of the collaboration, and other factors. We will also discuss strategies and methods for making these context aspects explicit by representing them through suitable models, e.g., by ontological models of cooperative context. These models will serve as input for discussions on how to manage and use such context in real-world scenarios. These activities will serve laying the groundwork for an initiative to build a shared context ontology for this area. TOPICS OF INTEREST An initial list of research issues discussed at the workshop comprises the following questions: - How can the multi-faceted concept of context be structured and classified for cooperative situations? - What are methods for integrating 'endogenous' physical context with 'endogenous' context factors such as the users' roles, activities, topical interests or experience profiles? - How to combine individual contexts into group contexts? - What are suitable models and techniques for representing context for the purpose of adapting cooperation support systems? Is there a perspective for a shared context ontology for cooperative work? - What are effective and acceptable adaptations at the interaction, tool or content level we can implement in systems used for collaboration? CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Context plays an increasingly important role to adapt systems to users' needs and to make access to large information spaces more efficient. Yet, in the area of collaborative work the potential of context-based adaptation of IT systems has so far not been investigated and exploited to a sufficient extent. There is a lack of methods that take into account the manifold aspects of context such as physical, activity-based, thematic or social context in an integrated fashion. The workshop aims at identifying and structuring context factors for collaboration, trying to elaborate a generalized notion of context for this field. We will discuss strategies and methods for making these context factors explicit by representing them through suitable models, e.g., by ontological models of cooperative context. A potential outcome is to provide the groundwork for an initiative to build a shared context ontology for cooperative work. A further goal is to collect and analyze methods for managing and using context in real-world scenarios, including combinations of folksonomy- and ontology-based approaches. Persons interested in participating should submit a 2-page proposal describing their background with respect to the workshop theme, their proposed contribution and an initial reaction to a number of research issues published at the workshop website (http://caicoll.org). Proposals should be sent by e-mail to submission(a)caicol.org. Upon acceptance, participants will be asked to provide an extended position paper of 5 pages four weeks prior to the workshop which will be distributed to participants. Workshop results will be summarized on the website. Depending on the submissions received we plan to publish the workshop results to a wider audience, e.g. as a special journal issue.

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. Virtual communities and social networking ? Gender relations in a social networking environments ? Gender relations in gaming communities ? Gender relations in virtual communities ? Gender relation in virtual worlds ? Gender relations in social networking environments that are supported by technologies other than the Internet (e.g., cell phones, Internet TV) 4. ePolitics ? Gender issues in IT supported party politics, including in the last US elections ? Gender differences in IT enabled grass-roots politics ? Gender issues in eVoting ? Gender issues in the politics of eGovernment ?

The general aim of ambient systems is to provide an environment wherein computing devices exist anywhere and everywhere. In such systems mobile and embedded computing devices form ad hoc collaboration using different communication networks (e.g., wireless networks, RFID, etc) in order to share and exchange information and provide services. Ambient systems pose new research challenges due to the open and unreliable nature of the environment and the complexity and heterogeneity of the computing devices and the underlying communication networks. These characteristics challenge traditional techniques and demand new ways of approaching the problems related to the ambient systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit papers to the following research tracks. Details on topics of each track are available at the conference website. - Ambient-oriented Autonomic Networks and Communications - Ambient Systems Software Engineering - Ambient Systems Security and Privacy - Distributed Ambient Artificial Intelligence - Emerging Ambient Networking, Tracking and Sensing Technologies - Multimodal Interfaces for Ambient Systems - Service Oriented Computing for Ambient Systems& Applications - Smart Environments and Applications in Ambient Systems PUBLICATION ------------------- Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the proceedings of Communications in Computer and Information Science series, Springer.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] ECIS 2011 Call for Proposals for Conference Tracks Datum: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:31:35 +0200 Von: Rossi Matti <Matti.Rossi(a)hse.fi> Antwort an: Rossi Matti <Matti.Rossi(a)hse.fi> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The 19th European Conference on Information Systems ECIS 2011 - ICT and Sustainable Service Development Call for Proposals for Conference Tracks In 2011 the European Conference on Information Systems will be held in Helsinki, Finland, hosted by Aalto University School of Economics (formerly known as Helsinki School of Economics, HSE). As in previous years, the conference will be organised around conference tracks, focusing on both established and emergent areas of IS research. If you aspire to be a track chair for ECIS 2011, this call is for you. We are inviting you to propose a conference track and to submit it to ecis2011(a)hse.fi. Each proposal will be evaluated by the Research and Research in Progress chairs in conjunction with the programme and conference chairs. Decisions will be based on the overall merit of the proposal, the diversity of the track team and the fit with the conference theme. Your responsibilities as a track chair will be to: 1) promote the track and take sufficient measures to ensure an adequate number of submissions 2) organise a peer review cycle for the papers submitted to your track (assisted by a set of Associate Editors) 3) propose to the program committee the papers that will eventually be accepted for inclusion into the conference program 4) liaise with the research chairs on all other matters that concern ECIS 2011 Track proposals should provide a motivation for the track, a brief overview of the area, sample topics, types of contributions welcomed, and an assessment of overall appeal to conference attendees. Specifically, track proposals should include: 1) A title for the conference track 2) Names, e-mail and mailing addresses, affiliations, phone and fax numbers of the two to three track co-chairs. Please designate one of the co-chairs as the primary contact person. 3) A short description of the track and its focus: define the proposed area of research, discuss the topics the track will address, and how they fit into the conference theme. 4) A discussion on how these topics have recently been covered in other conferences and publications, and to substantiate that ECIS 2011 will be an appropriate and timely forum for the topics. 5) A discussion on what types of contributions are sought for: full research papers, research in progress, and/or teaching cases. 6) A list of tentative Associate Editors for the proposed track (around three or four). Please provide names and affiliations, and the extent to which they may already have committed themselves to serve as AEs for your track. 7) Your track record (if any) in organising tracks, or in other, related areas of responsibility in the IS community. When putting together your track team (that is, chairs and AEs), please be aware that the Research and Research in Progress chairs will look favourably on diversity in gender, experience, and geographical background. It is therefore worthwhile to emphasise the diversity of the track team in your proposal. Track proposals should be e-mailed to ecis2011(a)hse.fi as soon as possible, but no later than that 1 February 2010. Please note that in order to ensure interesting and sufficiently extensive range of tracks, the ECIS2011 Programme Committee might approach you with a suggestion to modify your track proposal; or in case there are proposal for same or similar topics, the committee might ask you to consider joining forces with another proposing group. Notifications of acceptance or rejection of proposed tracks will be sent out in early March 2010.

To date, the development of standards, such as the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA), along with the introduction of new paradigms, such as the Semantic Grid, is leading the Grid toward an environment that is not only suited for computational-intensive applications, but also for computing scenarios typical of distributed systems, like service and information providing, multimedia environments, ubiquitous computing, etc. For these and other reasons, the Grid is becoming an interesting and challenging environment supporting both old and new services for cooperative applications. A relevant research effort is thus needed not only to investigate innovative Grid infrastructures but also to make the current Grid model suitable for these emerging usage scenarios. The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers working on different emerging Grid computing aspects relevant to enterprise collaboration, covering issues ranging from the middleware layer to application development and user interaction. The goals of the workshop include (but are not limited to) discovering new application scenarios, proposing new programming abstractions and tools, identifying the challenging problem that still need to be solved, and reporting results and experiences gained by researchers in building Grid-based middleware, applications and alike. Submission Requirements ----------------------- Participants are expected to submit an original research paper or a position paper, not submitted or published elsewhere, by email to <etngrid(a)diit.unict.it> or by EasyChair web submission form (available at http://etngrid.diit.unict.it/2010/submission.html). Submission should include the title of the paper, the names and affiliations of the authors, a 150-word abstract and at most eight keywords. Submission should follow the IEEE format (single spaced, two columns, 10pt, Times font) and not exceed six pages, including figures. Accepted papers will be published along with the WETICE 2010 proceedings (IEEE - pending approval). The paper should be in either PS or PDF format. Papers must focus on collaborative aspects of the Grid, including, but not limiting to, the following topics: * Middlewares for the Grid * Multimedia applications with the Grid * Reflective and Aspect-Oriented Grid systems * Reliability and Quality-of-Service aspects * Wireless and ubiquitous access to the Grid * Cooperative Agents and the Grid * Grids and Peer-to-peer systems * Web integration with the Grid * Peer-to-peer and self-organizing approaches for the Grid * Abstractions and tools for collaborative application development in Grid environments * Semantic Grid * Experience reports on collaborative application development in Grid * Scalability and Performance issues in the Grid * Analysis of stability and bottlenecks for Grid applications * Resource-aware applications in the Grid * Architectures for Grid-oriented applications * Cloud Computing * Security and Verification Issues in Large Distributed Systems Important Dates --------------- * Deadline for paper submission: March 2, 2010 * Notification of decision to Authors: April 2, 2010 * Final papers in PDF format to IEEE: April 14, 2010 Steering Committee ----------------- Antonella Di Stefano, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Giuseppe Pappalardo, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Program Chair ------------------ Giovanni Morana, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Corrado Santoro, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Emiliano Tramontana, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Program Committee Members ------------------------------------------------ Mauro Andreolini.........

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP for AMCIS 2010 Mini-track on "Master Data Management" Datum: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 07:48:47 +0100 Von: boris.otto(a)unisg.ch An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de 1ST CALL FOR PAPERS 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) http://www.amcis2010.org/home/ August 12-15, 2010 Lima, Peru ============================================================ Mini-track: Master Data Management: Strategies, Concepts and Cases Track: Data and Information Quality ============================================================ MINI-TRACK DESCRIPTION Master data management is referred to as an application-independent function which describes and manages the business data resource in an organization. It ensures high quality of master data by providing guidelines for its management and it creates a common view on the data. Recently, master data management has received much attention from business. A major reason for this is the important role high-quality master data plays with regard to a number of business drivers. Among them are compliance to regulatory requirements, integrated customer management and the need of a “single source of the truth” for company-wide reporting purposes. Despite the relevance of master data quality, current efforts in practice leave much to be desired. Moreover, the topic has been discussed in the information systems (IS) research area to a marginal extent only so far. The proposed mini-track addresses this gap and aims at giving a forum for novel concepts and research work in the following areas: * Strategies for master data management * Master data centric business scenarios and use cases * Cost and benefit analysis for master data management * Application of valuation theories of master data management * Organizational concepts for master data management * Human factors in master data management * Master data governance * Master data compliance * Master data quality * Master data security and privacy aspects * Master data lifecycle management * Master data architectures including reference architectures and architecture patterns * Master data management deployment methods * Business metadata management * Standardization activities * Data modeling for master data * Master data and service-orientation * Software architectures * Patterns for data distribution and data synchronization * Case studies and applications * Industry specific aspects of master data management The mini-track welcomes innovative research papers from both the academic and the practitioners’ community. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES * All paper must be submitted through the online submission system (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010). Mini-track chairs, track chairs, program chairs or conference chairs will not accept any submissions that are sent to them directly by email or any other means. <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010> * A paper must be submitted only to one mini-track. A paper should not exceed 5,000 words (including all attachments). * Submission of a paper to the conference represents the author’s agreement to allow AIS to publish the paper in any written or electronic format for distribution to all interested parties in perpetuity with or without compensation to AIS and 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. IMPORTANT DATES * January 4, 2010: Online submission system begins accepting paper submissions * February 26, 2010: Deadline for paper submissions * April 12, 2010: Communication of acceptance/rejection decisions * August 12-15, 2010: AMCIS Conference MINITRACK CHAIRS Boris Otto University of St. Gallen 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland boris.otto(a)unisg.ch Anette Weisbecker Fraunhofer-Institute for Industrial Engineering 70569 Stuttgart, Germany anette.weisbecker(a)iao.fraunhofer.de Eberhard Hechler IBM Software Group 70569 Stuttgart, Germany ehechler(a)de.ibm.com
