-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP AMCIS 2009: Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises Datum: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:19:36 -0500 Von: Padmal Vitharana <padmal(a)syr.edu> Antwort an: Padmal Vitharana <padmal(a)syr.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers for the AMCIS 2009 Mini Track Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises (part of Systems Analysis and Design (SIG SAND) Track) AMCIS - Americas Conference on Information Systems San Francisco, USA, August 6-9, 2009 Enabled by the recent advances in web services, business process automation, and service-oriented architectures, organizations around the world have embarked on the development of the next-generation enterprise infrastructures, referred to by some as "Service-Oriented Enterprises". Essentially, service-oriented enterprises are organizations that take advantage of service-oriented computing to support agile enterprises. Gartner has defined enterprise agility as "the ability of an organization to sense environmental change and respond efficiently and effectively to that change." Currently, there are many open research issues on the analysis and design for the service-oriented enterprises that need attention from the MIS community. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in presenting their work in this area. Suggested Topics � Analysis and design of business services � Best practices in analysis and design for service-oriented enterprises � Business modeling in service-oriented enterprises � Centrality of information in service-oriented enterprises � Componentization of businesses � Enterprise services for business process automation � Innovative paradigms and techniques in support of flexible business processes � Language issues in service-oriented computing � Modeling of process services � Modular service composition (or enterprise service mash-ups). � Service modeling and catalog management � Service-oriented system analysis and design techniques � Service reuse in application development � Web service composition in support of collaboration � Open standards to create a platform that delivers IT as service Important Dates January 2, 2009: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions February 20, 2009 (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2009: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date April 20, 2009 (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due Further information about the conference and minitrack proposals is available in AMCIS2009 Web site at: http://www.amcis2009.org Track chairs: Padmal Vitharana padmal(a)syr.edu Syracuse University Syracuse, NY 13244 http://whitman.syr.edu/facstaff/padmal/ Kumar Bhaskaran bha(a)us.ibm.com IBM Research Hawthorne, NY http://www.ibm.com Hemant Jain jain(a)uwm.edu University of Wisconsin � Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI 53211 http://www.sba.uwm.edu/jain_h/ The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP - 4th Intl. Workshop on Data Engineering Isses in E-Commerce & Services (DEECS2009)]
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP - 4th Intl. Workshop on Data Engineering Isses in E-Commerce & Services (DEECS2009) Datum: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:14:26 -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: 4th International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2009) In conjunction with the 11th IEEE Conference on Commerce and Enterprise Computing (CEC 2009) July 20-23, 2009, Vienna, Austria http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/Deecs2009 ++ Deadline for submission: March 16/23, 2009 ++ ++ Full papers, position papers, posters, and demos invited ++ ++ IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings ++ ++ Papers will be included in the IEEE Digital Library ++ ======================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== As part of their e-business activities, enterprises create, share, recombine, and process an ever increasing amount of data and documents that range from simple transactional data to complex business process definitions. In many respective processes, multiple spheres overlap, e.g., (1) inter- with intra-organizational data sources in collaborative processes, (2) master data with transactional data, (3) regular data with behavioral aspects of processes, or (4) facts with normative assertions. Since business entities are members of multiple value chains, same as data sources are often used in multiple contexts and processes, there are often conflicting requirements on the representation of such data. At the same time, enterprise computing infrastructures are currently transforming into service-oriented systems; this change has severe consequences as well as offers opportunities for the data management processes. All this in combination makes data engineering in e-commerce and service- oriented computing a very challenging task, already at the level of a single company but even more in value chains. Also, respective modeling choices may have long-lasting and far reaching impact, and affect (1) operational efficiency, (2) business process agility, (3) the range of analytical tasks for decision support, and (4) strategic options. Eventually, those choices determine the current and future degree of automation in content and process integration. While e-business standards in general help, standardization alone does not solve the problem. This is because yielding a consensual representation takes time, consumes resources, and constrains an entity�s ability to capture individual details. Moreover, the cost of implementing and enforcing the standards is sometimes prohibitive for small businesses. Proprietary representations, on the other hand, hamper interoperability, and complicate B2B integration. In service-oriented architectures (SOAs), this complexity is further increased by the behavioral dimension of e-business interactions, e.g., services choreography and orchestration. This workshop aims at providing a venue for discussion and the exchange of ideas on data and knowledge engineering issues in the dynamic environment of e-business, enterprise computing, and business services and transformation. The relation to CEC 2009 is that it addresses a core problem in enterprise computing. In the format of an interactive workshop, it focuses the intersection of three main areas: data engineering, knowledge engineering, and business process management. Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting full and short papers, posters, and hands-on demonstrations on the following topics: - Business data integration - Business data management - Business decision support - Business intelligence - Business modeling and analysis - Business process integration - Business process management - Business process monitoring - Business process intelligence - Case studies and applications - Corporate knowledge management - Customer relationship management (CRM) - Data-intensive decision support systems - E-commerce content - E-commerce standards - Enterprise application integration - E-procurement and e-sourcing - Folksonomies and collaborative tagging in business applications - Logistics data engineering - Ontologies and use of Semantic Web technology - Product data management - Product lifecycle management - Product specification standardization - Semantic business process management - Semantic Web Services - Sensors and actuators - Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) - Service-level agreements and their specification along and across value chains - Supply chain management - Ubiquitous / context-aware services - Web services Paper Submission and Publication ================================ We are inviting the submission of - full papers (up to 8 pages), - position papers (up to 5 pages), - posters (2-page extended abstracts or final posters), and - hands-on demonstrations (2-page descriptions of the demo) describing original research on the listed or related topics. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers using the 8.5'' x 11'', two-column format. Submissions must be in the form of PDF documents using our electronic submission system, which will be available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=deecs2009 shortly. At least one author is required to attend the workshop and present the work. Attendance of the workshop requires registration to the main CEC'09 conference. Full papers will be published in the regular conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Review Process ============== Each paper will typically be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. Reviewers will score submissions according to their contribution, originality/novelty, technical depth/merit, and quality of presentation. For short position papers, clarity of exposition and the degree of innovation will be sufficient, while for full papers, a clear technical contribution is expected. Important Dates =============== March 16, 2009: Abstracts due March 23, 2009: Submissions due April 15, 2009: Notification of acceptance May 15, 2009: Camera-ready versions due July 20, 2009: Workshop Organizing Committee ==================== * General Chairs Sang-goo Lee, Seoul National University, Korea Juhnyoung Lee, IBM T.J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: SEASS'09 Datum: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 12:48:02 +1100 Von: Liming Zhu <limingz(a)cse.unsw.edu.au> Antwort an: Liming Zhu <limingz(a)cse.unsw.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The 3rd International Workshop of Software Engineering for Adaptive Service-oriented Systems (SEASS'09) In conjunction with 7th IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2009) July 10, 2009, Los Angeles, CA, USA http://www.servicescongress.org/2009/1/seass-2009.html ++Call for Papers++ Workshop Theme: Empower Web Services with Adaptability Web services have been the main force in driving service-oriented computing that promises not only a new paradigm for B2B collaboration, but also an opportunity for the creation of value-added services and new business models. Together with Web 2.0 and utility computing, Web services are one of the key technology enablers of a new software deployment paradigm - Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Pay-as-you-go SaaS stresses reliance on the guarantee of service level agreement for satisfying the computing needs of users, without them needing knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them. A variety of classical and emerging challenges as arise in deploying and operating services on the Web in the real dynamic environment. These include how to atomically discover and binding to a 'right' service; how to automatically negotiate a SLA among a group of collaborative services; how to check/resolve policy conflictions between these services; how to handle exceptions of long-running transactions across loosely coupling services etc. All of these challenges share a similar requirement for web services: building adaptability in web services so that they can adapt themselves to accommodate the heterogeneity of interface and QoS, resolve the conflictions and handle the fault in a dynamic environment at runtime. In the previous events of this workshop series, published papers have addressed aspects of software architecture, process and test, deployment and configuration, and quality of service management. In the 3rd edition of the workshop we aim to broaden the scope by specifically addressing topics that link adaptability of Web services to the paradigm of SaaS and cloud computing. In additional to the topics covered in the previous workshops, we also encourage submissions of papers addressing relatively new technologies such as virtualization, multi-tenancy, monitoring, billing and reporting of service usages, and enterprise mashups. The aim of SEASS 2009 is to encourage academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss all adaptability-related research and experiences in a very broad spectrum of Service Oriented Computing (SOC). The topics of the workshop include but not limited to: * Software architecture support for enhancing SOA adaptability, including standards and protocols proposal or extension for dynamic collaborations among services * Accountability of services, including mechanisms, algorithms and methods to monitoring, analysing and reporting service status and usage profile * Capacity planning of services running on the cloud * Security and trustworthy in multi-tenancy service hosting environment * Experience in using Web 2.0 and Mashup for enterprise services * Web services for data intensive computing and scientific workflows * Patterns, best practices and experience report in adaptation development for a class of web service applications * Automated deployment and configuration of services on middleware * Policy definition, confliction checking and resolving and enforcement at runtime * Adaptive service engineering * Negotiation protocols for SLA and dynamic service binding * Testing, configuration and deployment for adaptive service management * Requirement analysis for adaptation in SOA * Adaptive service development process ++Organizers++ Shiping Chen, Networking Technologies Lab, CSIRO ICT Centre, Australia Ian Gorton, Computational and Information Sciences at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, US Yan Liu, Managing Complexity Theme, National ICT Australia, Australia Liming Zhu, Managing Complexity Theme, National ICT Australia ++Program Committee++ Alan Colman, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Jun Han, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Mark Staples, National ICT, Australia Liam O'Brien, National ICT, Australia Chen Wang, CSIRO ICT Centre, Australia Kai Xu, CSIRO ICT Centre, Australia Surya Nepal, CSIRO ICT Centre, Australia Chi-Hung Chi, Tsinghua University, China Ge Yu, Northeastern University, China Qing Wang, Chinese Academy of Science, China Xiaoying Bai, Tsinghua University, China Andrea D'Ambrogio, University of Roma "Tor Vergata", Italy Carlos Juiz, University of Balearic Islands, Spain Cesare Pautasso, University of Lugano, Switzerland Liangzhao Zeng, IBM Thomas J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 12th International Workshop on Reference Modelling on BPM 2009 Datum: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:30:03 -0500 Von: Patrick Delfmann <delfmann(a)ercis.de> Antwort an: Patrick Delfmann <delfmann(a)ercis.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers 12th International Workshop on Reference Modelling (RefMod) 7 September 2009 in Ulm, Germany Workshop on the 7th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM) 7-10 September 2009 http://www.bpm2009.org Important Dates: Paper submission: 7 May 2009 Notification of acceptance: 2 June 2009 Camera-ready paper due: 17 June 2009 Aims and Scope: The development of conceptual models is often an expensive and time consuming task. Consequently, approaches are preferable which increase the efficiency of conceptual modelling. The aim of reference modelling is to provide conceptual models that are reusable for different but similar purposes. Reference modelling research addresses the question how to design conceptual models in order to make them notably reusable and how to apply them efficiently without any loss of quality. The objective of the workshop RefMod 2009 is to exchange current findings on Information Systems and Computer Science research dealing with the topic of reference modelling. Academic contributions which provide methodological and contextual recommendations for the development and application of reference models will be discussed. Further-more, practitioners are invited to explain their requirements to reference modelling research and to share their experien-ces in the hands-on application of reference models. In particular, possible topics of conference papers are (but are not restricted to): - procedure models and modelling languages for the development of reference models - collaborative construction of reference models - adaptation of reference models - evaluation of reference models - semantic aspects of reference modelling - economic aspects of reference modelling - particular reference models for manufacturing, retailing, service, and (public) administration - reference modelling tools Submission Requirements: Papers should be submitted in English language and should not exceed 12 pages. The submission format should be MS Word (DOC or RTF). Figures should preferably be embedded in VISIO or EMF format. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format. Instructions for authors are available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0 Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract and a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above. Manuscripts should be sent to modeling(a)ercis.de. Please submit your paper without any author information and provide this information and the title of the paper in a separate cover file. Quality Requirements and Review Process: Papers should be original, well-written, self-contained contributions that elucidate novel research and innovation in reference modelling which advance the field fundamentally and significantly. Papers are selected within a rigorous double-blind peer review process performed by the conference program committee (see below).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Services Computing Journal -Special Issue on Transactional Web Services Datum: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 08:30:51 -0500 Von: Youakim Badr <youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr> Antwort an: Youakim Badr <youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) Journal URL: http://www.computer.org/tsc Special Issue on Transactional Web Services Guest Editors: Youakim Badr, Djamal Benslimane, Zakaria Maamar and Ling Liu Editor-in-Chief of TSC: Liang-Jie (LJ) Zhang, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA Overview: -------- This special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Services Computing focuses on transactional Web services. Today's Web service-based applications require advanced transactional models that guarantee the integrity and continuity of business processes despite the dynamic nature that characterize the environments that host the execution of these processes. The development of such models has drawn the attention of both academia and industry communities. This special issue will shed light on the latest advances in the fields of Web services with focus on the transactional dimension. This special issue seeks original research and industrial papers on transactional models and approaches in the context of business applications built upon Web services. The Internet along with its related technologies have created an interconnected world in which services can be invoked anytime, anywhere, which increases the importance of making these services reliable and robust. For this purpose, Web services must be looked into from a transactional perspective. A variety of transactional models are created in the database community. Some of them can be leveraged and enhanced to support Web services while others are not suitable because of the dynamic nature of Web services, long-running execution scenarios, and successful execution despite failure. New transactional models for Web services are deemed appropriate. Papers describing advanced research and experiences on transactional Web services are solicited. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Transactional models for Web services - Recovery mechanisms and Web services - Transactional Web services standards and protocols - Transactional Web services in mobile applications - Fault-Tolerant mechanisms for transactional Web services - Case studies on transactional Web services Submission Guidelines: --------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers using the journal Web site (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee). Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. Authors must understand and adhere to IEEE Transaction on Services Computing submission guidelines available at URL: http://www.computer.org/tsc. The manuscript should not exceed 12 pages in double-column format. All submissions must include all of the following elements: title page, abstract, index terms, illustrations and bibliography. Acceptance will be based on relevance, technical soundness, originality and clarity of presentation. For further information on submission, please contact the guest editors. Important Dates: --------------- Abstract Submission Deadline: March 10, 2009 Paper Submission Deadline: March 31, 2009 First Decision from Guest Editors: April 15, 2009 First Revised Versions due from Quthors: June 2, 2009 Second Decision: June 20, 2009 Second Revised Versions due from Authors: July 3, 2009 Final Decision: July 10, 2009 Papers due into Publication Office for Editing: July 10, 2009 Publication Date: 2009/2010 Guest Editors: ------------- Dr. Youakim Badr INSA-Lyon Lyon, France Email: youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr (contact point) Dr. Djamal Benslimane LIRIS Lab, Claude Bernard University Lyon, France Email: djamal.benslimane(a)liris.cnrs.fr Dr. Zakaria Maamar Zayed University Dubai, U.A.E.
