-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] GMAC deadline approaching! Datum: Mon, 09 Feb 2009 20:00:27 +0100 Von: cecile germain <cecile.germain(a)lri.fr> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> (Apologies if you have received this more than once) ================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================== GRIDS MEET AUTONOMIC COMPUTING (GMAC) Workshop Barcelona, Spain, 15 June 2009 http://www.frombarcelona.org/GRIDmeetsAC/ In association with the 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing & Communications IMPORTANT DATES Full paper: 23 February 2009 Author notification: 23 March 2009 Final manuscripts: 6 April 2009 SCOPE Scientific communities worldwide have constructed massive grids that contain several tens of thousands of CPU's and several PetaBytes of storage. The complexity of grids has increased due to the large range of dynamic resources involved: hardware and middleware, but also software usage rights, sensors, etc. Grid applications taking advantage of those resources have also increased in complexity. In addition, grid usage is based on a sharing paradigm, which introduces the collective behaviour of users as a new complicating factor. A major technical and societal challenge for the immediate future is the stabilisation of production grids. The control and maintenance of these complex systems to achieve that remain a significant operational issue. Application optimization is similarly challenging. Autonomic Computing has emerged as a specific scientific domain, with the strong involvement of industry. Autonomic computing is highly relevant to grid systems at a time when production grids have become critical scientific infrastructures and must move to sustainable models. Considering the volume and structure of the manpower dedicated to the day-to-day operations, Self-Optimization, Self-Healing and Self-Configuration could provide immediate benefits. At the core of the autonomic computing is the fact that high-level goals should be exposed by the middleware and should be easily tuned by users and system administrators. The Workshop will contribute to building bridges between grid researchers on one hand and those in the autonomic computing community on the other. The focus of the workshop is to identify key scientific challenges related to the management and evolution of grids as a specific category of complex large-scale systems. The goal of the workshop is to promote community wide discussion of, and collaboration on potentially high-impact ideas that will influence and foster continued research in improving the manageability and reliability of grids. The workshop will feature invited presentations from major grid projects and Autonomic Computing scientists as well as regular papers and posters. The format will leave ample time for discussion PAPER/POSTER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Full papers (a maximum of 8 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, quality of presentation, and relevance to the workshop themes. Please see the conference web site for more information on the submission process. It is expected that the proceedings will be published by ACM. ATTENDANCE At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop. Registration fee to the workshop is included in the ICAC 2009 conference fee.

10 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Book Announcement Datum: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:16:04 +0700 Von: Phan Cong-Vinh <phanvc(a)ieee.org> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: Dynamic Reconfigurability in Reconfigurable Computing Systems: Formal Aspects of Computing (Paperback) by Phan Cong-Vinh (Author), PhD in Computing, CAFM, London South Bank University, United Kingdom Book Details: * Paperback: 236 pages * Publisher: VDM Verlag Dr. Müller (January 29, 2009) * Language: English * ISBN-10: 3639121112 * ISBN-13: 978-3639121117 * Book Dimensions: 8.7 x 5.9 x 0.6 inches * Shipping Weight: 13.9 ounces Book Description: This monograph breaks fresh ground in dealing with dynamic reconfigurability taking advantage of algebraic and coalgebraic approaches - the firm formal methods applicable to a wide variety of reconfigurable computing systems. Its purpose is to make a formal basis more accessible to researchers, scientists and graduate students as well as practitioners by providing them with state-of-the-art research results and future opportunities and trends. While the dealing with this subject is regularly very mathematical, "Dynamic Reconfigurability in Reconfigurable Computing Systems: Formal Aspects of Computing" goes through the theory of algebras and coalgebras straightforwardly, leading the readers to an understanding of what it means to give a rigorous approach to aspects of dynamic reconfigurability. The book is self-contained and there are no requirements other than a knowledge on the major principles of reconfigurable computing systems. Important features include: - A comprehensive reference on reconfigurable computing, - State-of-the-art research results created in the field, - Illustrative figures enabling easy reading, and - Emerging trends and open research problems and issues. The material is organised into nine chapters addressing the following: - An algebra of reconfiguration built to model the transformations of a DPGA-based configuration. - The provable algorithms for partially altering a DPGA-based configuration at runtime without stopping the operation of the whole system. - A unifying framework of reconfiguration seen as a coalgebraic model, by this way, to observe the reconfiguration processes using the concept of functional stream derivatives. - From the combinational properties of reconfiguration, the stream calculus and coinduction applied to classify the arrangements of the transformations of a DPGA-based configuration in an expressive, powerful and uniform way. - Computing based on data flow of flowware considered as a behavioural function in stream calculus to expose the semantics for graphical networks of Register Transfer Level (RTL), and coinduction used to compute such behavioural functions. - A semantics based on a Partial Order-based Model (POM) for the Register Transfer Level (RTL) and, through this semantics, a validation method proposed to test the correctness of an RTL synthesis result.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP - AMCIS2009 - Intelligent Systems Track Datum: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 13:14:58 -0500 Von: Vijayan Sugumaran <sugumara(a)oakland.edu> Antwort an: Vijayan Sugumaran <sugumara(a)oakland.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009 - http://amcis2009.org/) San Francisco, California, August 6 - 9, 2009 (Thursday-Sunday) TRACK: INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (SIGABIS) Chair: Vijayan Sugumaran (Oakland University) http://amcis2009.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=121&Itemi… Complete Papers Due: February 20, 2009 The purpose of this track is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners to identify and explore the issues, opportunities, and solutions related to intelligent systems design, implementation, integration and deployment. An increasing number of artificial intelligence-based systems are being developed in different application domains employing a variety of tools and technologies. This track is intended to increase cross-fertilization of ideas from these domains, and share the lessons learned. This Track is sponsored by AIS Special Interest Group on Agent-Based Information Systems (SIGABIS). Best papers from this Track will be fast tracked for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (IJIIT). This track contains the following four mini-tracks: Mini-Tracks =========== * Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining (Chair: Riyaz T. Sikora) * Grid computing (Chair: Manish Agrawal) * Intelligent Agent and Multi-Agent Systems (Co-chairs: Vijayan Sugumaran, Stefan Kirn) * Semantic Web and Ontology (Chair: Victoria Y. Yoon) A brief description of each of the mini-tracks is given below. Mini-Track: Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining =================================================== Riyaz T. Sikora (co-chair SIGABIS) University of Texas at Arlington One of the side effects of the increase in connectivity and collaboration has been the phenomenal increase in the magnitude and volatility of the available data. Intelligent methods are now emerging as a way to deal with this staggering variety and volume of data in distributed and heterogeneous environments. This has become especially relevant since most large-scale information systems applications of today assume that components will be added dynamically and that they will be autonomous (serve different users or providers and fulfill different goals) and heterogeneous (be built in different ways). The mini-track on AI and DM provides a forum to bring together like-minded researchers, teachers, and practitioners to advance this important field. The AI/DM mini-track will seek research and applications highlighting the frontiers of new knowledge and advances in AI and DM. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Foundations of AI and DM * Machine Learning and Statistical Learning Algorithms * Data Mining * Pattern Recognition * Intelligent Agents * Heuristic Search * Intelligent Information Retrieval * Support Vector Machines * Web/Text mining * Intelligent Search Techniques * Reinforcement Learning Mini-Track: Grid Computing ========================== Manish Agrawal University of South Florida Grid computing potentially creates enormous processing power dedicated to large computing-intensive tasks. Common uses of grid computing include computer aided design, drug discovery, back-office data processing, information services, and other interesting academic and social problems such as the search for extra-terrestrial life. The emergence of grid computing has led to research questions including the generalizability of grid computing solutions, information privacy and assurance on the grid, and problem decomposition. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to explore these and other problems, ideas, experiences, and solutions on grid computing. Potential topics (not limited to): * Grid architectures * Grid applications * Information services on grids * Grid application workflows * Privacy on grid hosts * Heterogeneity on the grid * Trust development within the grid * Information assurance on the grid * Development models * Grid resource management * Business and social implications of grids Mini-Track: Intelligent Agent and Multi-Agent Systems ===================================================== Vijayan Sugumaran, Oakland University Stefan Kirn, Universität Hohenheim While research on intelligent agent and multi-agent systems have progressed, there are still a number of issues that have to be explored in terms of agent design, implementation, integration, and deployment. For example, salient characteristics of agents in different domains, formal approaches for agent-oriented modeling, designing and implementing agent-oriented information systems, agent collaboration and coordination in multi-agent systems, and organizational impact of agent-based systems are some of the areas in need of further research. Possible Topics (but not limited to): * Intelligent Applications in Business * Distributed Intelligent Systems * Agent architectures and behavior models * Models and architectures for agent-oriented information systems * Agent-oriented software engineering * Multi-agent systems and applications * Agent collaboration, and coordination * Human and agent interaction models * Agent-based process and workflow systems * Agents and knowledge management * Agent-based simulation * Agent-based e-commerce applications * Mobile Agents * Privacy, security, and trust issues in agent-based environments * Organizational impact of agent-based systems Mini-Track: Semantic Web and Ontology ===================================== Victoria Y. Yoon University of Maryland Baltimore County Semantic Web has been recognized as one of the most important Information Technologies and has received considerable attention from both academia and industry. Semantic Web has made significant progress over several years when numerous issues have been addressed and many applications have been developed. However, despite all of these advances, the current state of Semantic Web requires significant improvements to make it more effective in a broader range of applications. This mini-track will provide a forum for gaining a better understanding of these new technologies and their business aspects. Potential authors/researchers are encouraged to submit papers that address the issues related to designing, developing, and evaluating Semantic Web/Ontology from the technical, behavioral, economical, or managerial perspectives. This mini-track will focus on: * Semantic interoperability * Semantic web for e-business and e-learning * Service discovery, description, and composition * Semantic Web mining * Ontology creation, evolution, reconciliation, and mediation * Ontology mapping, Integration, and/or alignment * Software agents for Semantic Web * Innovative Semantic Web/Ontology applications * Managerial Issues of Semantic Web/Ontology The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

The sociotechnical view seeks to apprehend software development without fragmenting it into "technical aspects or factors" on the one hand, and "non-technical aspects or factors" on the other hand, and thereby beter describing the "seamless cloth" that imbricates the technical and the social into the same indivisible tissue constituted by the practices of software design and use. (For further details, see the material of the four previous workshop editions in http://www.cos.ufrj.br/woses and see Vols.18:1 and 19:2 of the journal Scientia with revised editions of selected papers of WOSES in http://www.unisinos.br/publicacoes_cientificas/Scientia/ . Vol. 14 of the journal RITA brings also two papers related to WOSES.) TARGET AUDIENCE Researchers and practitioners whose work and concerns are related (directly and indirectly) to the interplay between so-called non-technical, social, organizational or cultural aspects with the "technical" aspects for software engineering, and that are therefore potentially or actually aware of the need for a sociotechnical perspective as an effective instrument to improve the quality of software products. TOPICS OF INTEREST (not exhaustive) * Software processes and sociotechnical issues; * History of Software Engineering (SE); * Social sciences approaches applied to software development; * The relationship between designer / user / customer; * Elicitation of requirements /needs: challenges, difficulties and solutions; * Customization and use of software packages; * Software Factory; * Ergonomics of software interfaces; * Limits / gaps of SE; * The software life cycle and related sociotechnical issues; * Law (intellectual property) and software; * Management of software projects and projects for implementation and improvement of software processes: culture, politics, social and organizational behavior; * Knowledge management in software projects: sociotechnical complexity; * The practice of SE in face of market pressures; * Case studies of software projects, and projects for implementation and improvement of software processes, which may bring evidence of the cultural, political, organizational, and economic implications; * Ethics in the development and research of software;. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION Submissions must follow the SBC (Brazilian Computer Society) style format (available at SBC - www.sbc.org.br). Submissions may be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English and must have between 8 and 12 pages including all appendices, figures and references. The body of the article should contain: title, abstract, abstract (minimum of 300 words), list of keywords, and the full text. Authors must not be identified in the text. The articles will be judged by a multidisciplinary Program Committee composed of faculty researchers from different areas (software engineering, information systems, organizational studies, management, sociology, political science, among others) and professional and business people involved with the ES, all with sensitivity for a sociotechnical perspective, in which software development and use is seen as inextricably technical, social, historical, economic, ethical and political.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Deadline Extension: 4th Int'l Workshop on Technologies for Context-Aware Business Process Management (TCoB'09) Datum: Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:50:41 +0100 Von: Linh Thao Ly <thao.ly(a)uni-ulm.de> Antwort an: Linh Thao Ly <thao.ly(a)uni-ulm.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> In conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2009) TCoB website: http://www.iceis.org/Workshops/tcob/tcob2009-cfp.htm =============================== Call for Papers ------------------------------- The 4th International Workshop on Technologies for Context-Aware Business Process Management (TCoB 2009) ------------------------------- 6 May, 2009 - Milan - Italy In conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2009) Co-Chairs ------------------------------- Stefanie Rinderle-Ma Institute of Databases and Information Systems, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Ulm University, Germany stefanie.rinderle(a)uni-ulm.de Linh Thao Ly Institute of Databases and Information Systems, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Ulm University, Germany thao.ly(a)uni-ulm.de Lucinéia Heloisa Thom Institute of Databases and Information Systems, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Ulm University, Germany lucineia. thom(a)uni-ulm.de Background and Goals ------------------------------- Business process management (BPM) technologies are considered as one of the key success stories in providing process control and monitoring functions, and addressing complex integration requirements in enterprise systems. However, the expectation of what this technology must deliver is a moving target. Whereas the success of coordinative processes depends upon the conformance to the prescribed control flow, the success of the collaborative process depends upon the ability to detect and react to changing conditions. What was true for workflow systems is no longer acceptable in the dynamic and cross organizational requirements for management of collaborative processes. The trend is going towards agile, responsive, and (self-)adaptive business processes which are able to make use of existing context information in order to align to changing business requirements. BPM has become a very extensive area with several specialized aspects. This workshop intends to provide a forum wherein challenges in flexible, context-aware, and collaborative business process management can be debated. We seek papers that present innovative technology solutions to these challenges based on well justified practical assumptions and sound theoretical foundations. Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution, and relation to previous research. Position and survey papers are also welcome. Topics of interest -------------------------------- This year we particularly solicit approaches to context-aware, agile, responsive, and adaptive business processes. Below we provide a list of relevant topics, however papers outside these topics but within the general scope of the workshop scope will still be considered. - Context-aware business processes - Adaptive process management - Context modeling (e.g., ontologies, rule-based approaches) - Knowledge and task management in (collaborative) processes - Self-adapting / self-healing business processes - Technologies for modeling and analysis of (collaborative) processes - Interactive approaches for end-user engagement and visualization of business processes (can include Web 2.0) - Event driven process management - Collaboration modeling using game theory and/or social networks (wisdom of crowds) in Business Process Management - Usability and technology adoption of BPM solutions - Exception Handling in BPM - Patterns for context-aware BPM Format of the Workshop ------------------------------- The workshop will consist of oral presentations, discussions, and invited talks. The workshop will also provide opportunity for demo sessions, where presenters can showcase advanced prototypes based on their research. Submission of Papers ------------------------------- All papers must be written in English, and the length of the paper should not exceed 5,000 words or 10 pages (including figures and tables). Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex format) are available at the ICEIS web site. Papers (in PDF format) should be submitted online through the ICEIS online submission system (http://www.insticc.org/Primoris/). In addition, an email must be sent to all workshop chairs including: title, authors' affiliation, and an abstract of the paper submitted. Workshop Proceedings ------------------------------- All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings book with an ISBN#, which will be printed by INSTICC Press.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] final cfp für den AMCIS 2009 minitrack 'Business Models for the Digital Economy' Datum: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 08:14:02 +0100 Von: Zimmermann Hans-Dieter <Hans-Dieter.Zimmermann(a)htwchur.ch> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers for the Mini Track ‘Business Models for the Digital Economy’ AMCIS - Americas Conference on Information Systems San Francisco, USA, August 6-9, 2009 http://amcis2009.aisnet.org/ This mini-track serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and innovative approaches of business models beyond e-commerce for coping with the challenges of the digital economy. We consider an economy based on the digitization of information and the respective information and communication infrastructure as digital economy. This new type of economy implies not only technological, but also and especially structural and process-related challenges and potential. The way in which economic value is created will change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the structure of economies and societies. This evolution will radically alter processes and structures within and between industries leading to the digital economy. All of these developments characterize the emerging digital economy and cause new challenges businesses have to cope with. This clearly will have a major impact on how business models have to be designed. Therefore this mini-track addresses all topics concerned with the analysis, design, development, implementation, and control of future business models for the creation of economic value in the digital economy from a communication, organizational, business, economic, and managerial perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or practical approach. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following: Challenges and foundations of the digital economy Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models Design approaches/methods for new business models Models and modeling techniques/approaches for new business models Industry perspectives on business models Challenges of converging industries: Financial industry (e.g., emerging intermediaries, private/retail banking, insurance) Media industry (e.g., publishing, music business) Telecommunications (e.g., mobile network operators) A business model perspective on … Mobile Business ‘Ubiquitous Commerce’ ‘Collaborative Commerce’ Web 2.0 business models Trust and new business models Important Dates: February 20, 2009 Deadline for Paper Submission April 2, 2009 Notification of Paper Acceptance April 20, 2009 Camera Ready Copy Due Mini Track Chairs: Hans-Dieter Zimmermann hans-dieter.zimmermann(a)htwchur.ch <mailto:hans-dieter.zimmermann@htwchur.ch> Swiss Institute for Information Science University of Applied Sciences HTW Chur 7000 Chur, Switzerland Ian MacInnes imacinne(a)syr.edu <mailto:imacinne@syr.edu> School of Information Studies Syracuse University Syracuse, NY 13244-4100, USA -- 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

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP AMCIS 2009: Individual Characteristics and the Diffusion of Information Technologies Mini-track Datum: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 01:55:56 -0500 Von: Elizabeth White Baker <efrwhite(a)aol.com> Antwort an: Elizabeth White Baker <efrwhite(a)aol.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> AMCIS 2009 Call for Papers Mini-track title: Individual Characteristics and the Diffusion of Information Technologies [Track: the Diffusion of IT (SIGADIT)] 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) San Francisco, California August 6-9, 2009 Description: Since the mid�]1990s, examining individual differences has assumed an increasingly prominent role in information technology diffusion research. Individual factors such as personal innovativeness and gender have been identified as important antecedents, or moderators, of beliefs about the ability to use and innovate with information technology. Although many individual characteristics are enduring, i.e., they can�ft be changed, a deeper understanding of their influence on individuals�f perceptions of IT can inform strategies IT training and implementation. For this mini track, we invite papers that address all aspects of research that extend our understanding of enduring individual characteristics influence IT adoption and infusion in the workplace, especially personality and demographic characteristics that influence technology use. The unique aspect of this mini track, which differentiates it from other tracks on technology diffusion, is its focus on understanding how individual differences shape individual understanding and use of information technology. As a group, we anticipate that our sessions will create a robust exchange of ideas on how to model the influence of, and design strategies to shape the use of, information technology in the workplace. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * �gBig 5�h personality traits and technology use. * Learning Style and technology use * Innovativeness and Innovation * Personality and Post�]Adoption Technology Use * Personality and Maladaptive Technology Use * Efficacy, locus of control, and applications of Information Technology * The definition and measurement of constructs such as computer self-efficacy, attributions towards technology's performance, innovativeness related to technology's use in organizations. * Cognitive Ability as it relates to understanding and use of information technology * Gender and its implications for use of IT in the workplace * Aging and its implications for understanding how and when to use technology * Cultural values (as an individual difference) and their influence on the decision to use, and subsequent use of, information technology. Mini-track Chair: Elizabeth White Baker Assistant Professor of MIS Department of Economics and Business Virginia Military Institute Lexington, VA 24450 540.464.7461 bakerew(a)vmi.edu http://www.vmi.edu/baker Submission Process: Full paper submissions must be made electronically through the AMCIS on-line submission system. Typically a paper should not exceed 5,000 words, including attachments. Papers will be peer-reviewed using a double-blind review system and will be considered for AMCIS Best Paper Awards. Key Dates: * Full Papers Due: February 20, 2009 * Notification of Acceptance: April 2, 2009 * Camera Ready Copy Due: April 20, 2009 For additional information please refer to the AMCIS website: http://www.amcis2009.org/ or contact me, the mini-track chair, for further information.
