The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) has seen a huge uptake in both academia and industry and already is the de-facto standard for business process modelling. It has become very popular with business analysts, tool vendors, practitioners and end users. BPMN promises to bridge business and IT and brings as designed and as implemented closer together. While BPMN evolves and usage increases, a number of research questions around BPMN arise. Papers on ongoing and completed research, state of the art surveys, and reports on practical application, and empirical findings are invited. The workshop aims to identify current research directions as well as industry trends. Topics include, but are not limited to: BPMN and process modelling, Semantics of the BPMN language, BPMN modelling extensions and language profiles Verification of BPMN models, Quality of BPMN models, Empirical research on BPMN, BPMN and modelling guidelines, Integration of BPMN and other process languages, Semantic aspects in BPMN, BPMN and process execution, BPMN and enterprise applications (e.g., ERP), BPMN and service composition, BPMN and electronic commerce, BPMN and e-government, Tools for BPMN, Future directions of BPMN Levels of Modeling in BPMN (business, technical) Submissions Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Authors are requested to prepare submissions as close as possible to final camera-ready versions following the IEEE format. The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society. Papers of up to 8 pages length are invited. They should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. The submission should clearly emphasize the discussion aspects relevant to the workshop. Members of an international program committee will review all submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by three PC members guaranteeing that only papers presenting high quality and innovative research and practical issues in areas relevant to the workshop theme will be accepted.

Datum: Sat, 14 Feb 2009 04:39:48 -0500 Von: Miguel-Angel Sicilia <msicilia(a)uah.es> Antwort an: Miguel-Angel Sicilia <msicilia(a)uah.es> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers: ONTOSE 2009 (!! Paper submission deadline extended !!) Workshop on Ontology, Conceptualization and Epistemology for Information Systems, Software Engineering and Service Science June 8, 2009, Amsterdam (in conjunction with CAiSE 2009) http://conf.ifit.uni-klu.ac.at/ontose/ IMPORTANT DATES (!! Paper submission deadline extended !!) Short Abstract submission (about 150 words - Ascii): until February 19, 2009 Full Paper submission deadline: February 23, 2009 Notification of authors: March 23, 2009 Camera ready papers: April 10, 2009 AIMS, SCOPE AND TOPICS In our society which has already turned to a service providing society, the technical aspects as well as the human, social and economic aspects must be considered together. 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. - Customer satisfaction. - Ontologies and process models. - Ontologies and models to improve the service efficiency - Software as a Service (SaaS) - Internet of Services and Things PUBLICATION Accepted papers will be published in the official CAiSE workshop proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Identity technology workshop notice Datum: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:16:17 -0000 Von: <A.K.Martin(a)lse.ac.uk> Antwort an: <A.K.Martin(a)lse.ac.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CC: <James.Backhouse(a)lse.ac.uk>, <R.Halperin(a)lse.ac.uk> The Second Multidisciplinary Workshop on Identity in the Information Society (IDIS 09): Call for Papers With apologies for cross-posting, we request that you please forward this Call for Papers to any potentially interested colleagues or students. Kind regards, Aaron K. Martin Editorial Assistant Identity in the Information Society (IDIS) Journal London School of Economics and Political Science, UK http://www.springer.com/computer/programming/journal/12394 The Second Multidisciplinary Workshop on Identity in the Information Society (IDIS 09): Call for Papers Date: 5 June 2009 Venue: London School of Economics, London, UK http://is2.lse.ac.uk/idis/2009/ Following the successful IDIS 08 workshop held at Lago Maggiore in June 2008, we are pleased to release a Call for Papers for the second Annual Workshop on Identity in the Information Society (IDIS 09), to be held on June 5, 2009 in London, England, at the campus of the London School of Economics and Political Science. The workshop aims to provide an opportunity to present leading edge research, exchange ideas, encourage collaboration, and build communities across the various research groups working on contemporary identity topics and in related fields of privacy and security. The theme of the Second Multidisciplinary Workshop on Identity in the Information Society is "Identity and the Impact of Technology". The workshop will seek to explore the relationship between the ways in which identity and technology have mutually shaped each other. New technologies for the control and management of identity are being developed and introduced daily by public administrations and online businesses; technologies which are designed to alter the way that citizens and consumers interact with these bodies. New notions of identity are being made possible by technological innovation. Just some of the questions that are raised in this area are: * How far has technology altered prevailing notions of identity? * What new technologies are emerging and what might be their impacts? * To what extent is it possible to inscribe legal requirements into technologies of identity, and with what results? Confirmed Keynote Speakers: 1) Kevin W. Bowyer Schubmehl-Prein Professor and Department Chair Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Notre Dame, USA 2) Dr. Edward Higgs History Department University of Essex, UK http://www.essex.ac.uk/history/staff/higgs.shtm We invite papers that discuss the impact of technologies used in the management of identity, and the use of personal information with information and communication technologies. We welcome contributions ranging across different disciplinary areas, reflecting the broad nature of the topic with its interwoven concerns of law, technology, and information systems alongside other social, political and management issues. Accepted papers will be considered for publication in Identity in the Information Society Journal (IDIS). Following the workshop, revised versions of the papers presented will undergo peer review to determine their suitability to be published in IDIS. Important dates: Submission of papers (4000-6000 words): 9 April 2009 Notification to authors: 1 May 2009 Identity in the Information Society Workshop: 5 June 2009 Submission of revised papers to IDIS Journal: 6th July 2009 Feedback from peer review to authors: 26th September 2009 Submission of revised papers: 28th November 2008 Publication in IDIS Journal from January 2010 Paper submission through the Editorial Manager of the IDIS Journal at: http://www.editorialmanager.com/idis/ .

[Fwd: [WI] CfP: Studying Work Practices in Global Software Development (Special Issue IST)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: Studying Work Practices in Global Software Development (Special Issue IST) Datum: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:51:25 +0100 Von: Volker Wulf <volker.wulf(a)fit.fraunhofer.de> Antwort an: volker.wulf(a)uni-siegen.de An: Liste@fit.fraunhofer.de:Wirtschaftsinformatik <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers - Information and Software Technology (IST) Special Issue on Studying Work Practices in Global Software Engineering http://www.idc.ul.ie/gsd/IST_Special_Issue_SWP.html Submission Desdline: June 15th, 2009 Guest editors: - Gabriela Avram, Interaction Design Centre, University of Limerick, Ireland - Volker Wulf, University of Siegen and Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology, Germany Background and rationale Software development is increasingly distributed across geographical, political, social, and cultural boundaries. Enterprises that wish to take advantage of globalization require innovative techniques, tools, and practices to overcome the various difficulties of organizing and managing globally distributed software development. The field of Global Software Engineering (GSE) or Global Software Development (GSD), as it is sometimes called, has emerged as a transdisciplinary research arena bringing together software engineers as well as social scientists and organization theorists involved in examining various aspects of how globally distributed software teams function. However, while many experimental studies on problem-solving in teams have been performed, as well as interview studies with management referring to problems in distributed coordination and management, extensive participative field study material on actual workplace practices is relatively meagre. Thus, despite of occasional empirical studies of distributed software development activities over the years there is still a dearth of well-designed studies in Information Systems, Software Engineering and CSCW that provide good examples of field research in the area. Goals and objective The purpose of this special issue is to examine practices of global software engineering and to reflect upon the strengths and limitations of empirical research methods being deployed in the field. Methods are not simply techniques to be chosen and deployed at will, but are constructed from particular conceptual worldviews, and entail theoretical commitments. Actual use of methods also requires training and sensitivity to the local situation. These issues are often not adequately dealt with before the researcher enters the field. In order to illustrate this topic in a concrete fashion, we are soliciting papers from researchers who are actively engaged in empirical studies of GSE and wish to reflect on their empirical findings in relation to the methods applied. We are interested in field studies of actual in situ practices of software engineers. Potential topics for the papers (but not limited to these!) are: * The strengths and limitations of particular empirical methods; * The variety of ways in which methods can be used in practice, grounded in specific GSE case studies; * Studying the same topic in different environments; * Gaining access to GSD field sites; * Gaining access to digital artefacts; particular issues with gaining access to source code; * Approaches that go beyond a one-sided local view; * Methods and tools for disentangling complex work trajectories and situating artefacts; * Methods for a quick familiarization with the context: participation in social events, regular meetings, recruiting informants; * Different roles the researcher could adopt; * Dealing with micro-political conflicts in the field; * Dealing with different languages and cultural issues; * Roles of consultants vs. researchers: to what extent and in what circumstances is a consulting role acceptable/desirable? * Opportunities for engaging in a shared commitment with the practitioners in order to identify potentials for change and conjoint learning (e.g. concept of "business ethnography"); * Shortcomings and benefits of exploratory and evolutionary research designs compared to more statistical approaches with predefined hypotheses (i.e., why is it important for the GSD community to take into account this kind of research instead of doing experiments and such?), * Using student groups as proxies in GSE studies. Submission information Authors are invited to submit papers on their field study research, providing an account of the rationale for the choice of research method(s) being used, showing how these relate to the research questions being examined, and interesting findings attained by using the method. Papers should conform to the IST Elsevier format and be submitted as PDF files. -- Mailing-Liste: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: WI-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/mailman/listinfo/wi
