The conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality related to all aspects of business process management including theory, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, and empirical findings. Traditionally, the BPM conference attracts the outstanding researchers in the field and abides to the highest academic standards. BPM solicits original research papers that break new ground in or make significant novel contributions to the field. The acceptance rate in previous editions has been around 14%. The BPM conference also aims at bridging the viewpoints of leading research outcomes with practical demands and industrial experience. In addition to the main research track, BPM 2009 will include an industrial papers track. Accordingly, the conference encourages practitioners to submit experience and application papers reporting on innovative industrial implementations and applications of business process management methods and techniques, with particular focus on their impact on information technology use or business practice. These papers have to go beyond mature prototypes and potentially applicable methods and techniques, and must be based on extensive industrial experience or empirical data. Awards will be given to the best papers in different categories. In addition, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue of Data and Knowledge Engineering (DKE, an Elsevier Science Journal). BPM 2009 will be held in Ulm, Germany, and will be organized by the Institute of Databases and Information Systems, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Ulm. The event will be conducted at the university campus. Ulm is a lively, medium-sized city with a history of more than 1.150 years. It is located in the southern part of Germany and famous (among other things) for its cathedral with the world's highest church tower and for being the birthplace of Albert Einstein. Topics include, but are not limited to: PROCESS MODELING AND ANALYSIS - Process modeling languages, notations and methods - Reference process models - Variability and configuration of process models - Process simulation and static analysis - Process metadata and semantic reasoning - Process patterns, repositories, and standards - Process quality - Process improvement and optimization PROCESS ARCHITECTURES AND PLATFORMS - Process-oriented software architectures - Service-oriented architectures for BPM - Workflow management systems - Security aspects of business process execution - Automated planning for business process execution - Resource management in business process execution MANAGEMENT OF PROCESS EXECUTION DATA - Process tracing and monitoring - Process performance measurement - Process mining and learning - Process data warehousing - Data streaming in business processes - Process management dashboards - Process data visualization PROCESS EVOLUTION AND FLEXIBILITY - Process exception handling - Process change management - Adaptive and context-aware processes - Case handling - Process-enhanced groupware - Sustainable and self-healing processes MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES - Business process lifecycle management - Requirements modeling and process design - Success factors and measures in BPM - BPM governance and compliance management - BPM maturity - Adoption and practice of BPM - Case Studies and Experience Reports in BPM NON-TRADITIONAL BPM SCENARIOS - Knowledge-intensive processes - Data-driven processes - Distributed and mobile processes - Inter-process planning and coordination - Grid and scientific workflows - Process management in life science Conference Paper Submission BPM 2009 invites research submissions on all topics related to business process management, including but not limited to those listed above. Research papers should be submitted electronically via the BPM 2009 web site by uploading a self-contained PDF file. All submissions must be received no later than 15 March 2009. Research papers must be in English. They must be original research contributions that have not been published previously, nor already submitted to other conferences or journals in parallel with this conference. The length of the paper should not exceed 16 pages. Papers should be formatted in LNCS format (for details see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The title page must contain a short abstract and a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above. The paper must clearly state the research problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the relation to other work. Submissions received too late, in a format other than PDF, or sent by fax or post will be rejected. The same will happen with papers which are not in English or exceed the page limit. Each submission is reviewed by at least three reviewers, in terms of originality, validity, significance of contribution and quality of the presentation. Industrial papers must follow the same format requirements and length constraints as research papers. They too are rigorously reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. The focus here, however, is not on academic ingenuity, but extensive evaluation of the findings in industrial experience and empirical evidence. All accepted papers will be contained in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag. For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference and should plan to present the paper. Workshops The conference will be complemented by workshops. Workshops are meant to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between active researchers and practitioners, and stimulate discussions on new and emerging issues in line with the conference topics. Workshops may concentrate in-depth on research topics, or may also be devoted to application and/or standardization issues. Demonstrations Submissions are invited for demos to be included in the BPM 2009 Demonstration Track. The demo track is intended to showcase innovative business process management tools and applications, and will provide an opportunity to show and discuss emerging technologies with researchers and practitioners in the BPM field. Demonstration proposals should consist of two parts. The first part (maximum four pages) should contain a short description of the system, a summary of its novel characteristics, a statement on the scope and limitations of the system and its significance to the field of BPM, and the list of functions and features to be demonstrated. This part will be included in the proceedings in case of acceptance. The second part is an appendix of no longer than six pages explaining the demonstrated scenario and illustrating how the presentation will be conducted (i.e. the demo script) and possibly some screenshots. This part will not be included in the proceedings but is valuable input for the review process. Authors are encouraged to include in their submissions links to mockups, videos, or animations of the proposed demonstration. Submissions must adhere to the conference paper submission formatting guidelines and are limited to four pages for the first part and six for the appendix. Demo proposals should be submitted through the BPM conference submission system. Demo proposals will undergo a strict review process in line with that of the main conference. Demo proposals will be assessed on the basis of their innovation, technical advances and challenges, overall practical attractiveness, relevance and presentation. All accepted demo proposals (without appendix) will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag. There will be a best demo award based on the demo proposal and the presentation at the conference. Tutorials and Panel Discussions Tutorials and panel discussions will complement the core of the BPM 2009 conference. Tutorials will provide the opportunity to introduce one selected topic and to discuss related trends and challenges. Panel discussions will allow the open conversation of BPM-related topics. The local organizers are able to facilitate contacts to local industry representatives, if this is of interest for an organizer of a panel. Proposals for tutorials and panel discussions should include: the title; name and brief biography of each participant; and an outline of the theme, goals, planned activities and intended audience. Proposals should be submitted in electronic form (plain text or PDF) by email to the Tutorial/Panel Chairs.

At the same time, approaches needs to be proposed that would allow the users to totally �depend� on those technologies and maximise their interaction experience through this medium, when they utilize it. Those technologies should help the users to mitigate or alleviate the possible threats and provide different avenues by which they can decide and choose one in order to achieve their objectives. In this context analysing concepts like Trust, Reliability, Security, Privacy and Risk would help the users to make informed judgements of what their level of dependability should be on the digital ecosystem application. To achieve this, this workshop is organized into 3 special tracks: � Trust and Reliability � Security and Privacy � Risk Assessment and Management The main objectives of this workshop are to bring such ideas together from different researchers from academia and industry, to discuss and identify the various assessment techniques of Trust, Reliability, Security, Privacy and Risk in the domain of Digital Ecosystems. We solicit papers in the area of trust, reliability, security and privacy assessment that help to facilitate dependability in the domain of Digital Ecosystems. The workshop seeks original contributions in all relevant areas but is not limited to: � Methodologies for trustworthiness prediction � Trust management system design and implementation � Trust Assessment for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Reputation Assessment for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Risk Assessment for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Methodologies for Risk Mitigation in Digital Ecosystems � Risk Quantification and Management methods for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Information Security and Authentication for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Security Assessment for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Privacy Preservation and Policy Administration for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Privacy Assurance and Privacy Risk Assessment for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems � Data Mining techniques for assessment of Trust, Privacy, Security and Risk for Dependability in Digital Ecosystems Paper Submission Guidelines: Prospective authors of the workshop are invited to electronically submit a full paper (8 pages) of their original work following the IEEE instructions available on the website of the NBiS conference. Each paper will undergo a rigorous peer review process involving at least two reviewers. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors of accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting their final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the workshop. The paper submission site is located at https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=trsde09. Important Dates: � Paper Submission Deadline: 15th March 2009 � Author Notification: 5th May 2009 � Author Registration Due: 1st June 2009 � Workshop: August 19th 2009 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Joerg Leukel Information Systems 2 University of Hohenheim Schwerzstrasse 35 70593 Stuttgart, Germany Phone: +43 711 459-23968 E-Mail: joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de URI: http://www.joerg-leukel.net -- 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 Message -------- From: Bruno Cremilleux <Bruno.Cremilleux(a)info.unicaen.fr> Subject: [computational.science] IDA-2009 - 2nd call for papers To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> IDA 2009: The eighth International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis Lyon-France August 31th, September 2nd - 2009 http://ida09.liris.cnrs.fr/ --------------- Call for Papers --------------- Over the past decade, there has been a growing body of literature on the understanding of data analysis processes. Making smart use of the increasingly sophisticated analysis algorithms requires much expert knowledge to be part of the process itself, often in an interactive way. This knowledge is at least partially integrated into more complex data analysis meta-methods and modeling scenarios that have proven beneficial. In addition to more traditional algorithmic or application oriented submissions, IDA-2009 especially encourages submissions of papers addressing this emerging trend at the crossroads of traditional data analysis methods, complex data analysis scenarios and interactive tools that assist the analyst throughout the process. We are interested in papers describing methods that aid the analyst in the analysis procedure and we are also looking for contributions abstracting or formalizing the - often interactive - data analysis process. Contributions describing such methods should highlight potential insights into the data that the presented method offers. Examples of interesting scenarios describing steps from data to interesting models are abstractions or formalizations in terms of, for instance, generic workflows or data analysis "design patterns". Also, description and support for interactivity in data analysis processes are of particular interest. Methods can stem from, but are not limited to, the areas of Machine Learning, Statistics, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence, and (Interactive) Visualization. --------------------- Proceedings and venue --------------------- The maximum length of submitted papers is 12 pages in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format. The proceedings of IDA 2009 will appear in this prestigious series. Notice that Lyon will host VLDB 2009 (35th International Conference on Very Large Databases) from August 24 to August 28. Lyon is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and we invite you to enjoy its splendor and its wonderful way of life. ---------------- Important dates: ---------------- Submission due: 30 March 2009 Notification of acceptance: 7 May 2009 Camera-ready copy due: 28 May 2009 Conference: August 31 - Sept 01-02 2009 -------------------- Topics of interest : -------------------- Algorithms& Techniques (Machine Learning, Data Mining, Statistics): - Artificial neural networks - Bayesian networks - Heuristic methods - Optimization problems - Case-based reasoning - Computational models of human learning - Computational learning theory - Cooperative learning - Unsupervised learning - Decision and induction - Evolutionary computation - Grammatical inference - Incremental and on-line learning - Information retrieval and learning - Knowledge acquisition and learning - Data pre- and post-processing - Data visualisation - Statistical pattern recognition and analysis - Performance and optimization - Bootstrap and randomization - Causal modeling - Decision analysis - Exploratory data analysis - Knowledge-based analysis - Classification, projection, regression, optimization clustering - Data cleaning - Model specification, selection, estimation - Reasoning under uncertainty - Uncertainty and noise in data Theoritical contributions (Data analysis principles, Data modeling): - Data Mining theories - Information retrieval restrictions - Legal data analysis restrictions - Innovative data analysis (models, information types, and objectives) - Theoretical IDA issues - New paradigms - Analysis of IDA algorithms Applications Fields (Practical, Applied and Industrial Data Analysis): - Analysis of different kinds of data (e.g., censored, temporal etc.) - Applications (e.g., commerce, engineering, finance, legal, manufacturing, medicine, public policy, science, bioinformatics, biosurveillance) - Assistants, intelligent agents for data analysis evaluation of IDA systems - Human-computer interaction in IDA - IDA systems and tools - Information extraction, information retrieval - Experiment design -------------------- Conference officers: -------------------- General Chair: Jean-François Boulicaut (INSA Lyon, F) Program Chairs: Niall Adams (Imperial College London, UK) Céline Robardet (INSA Lyon, F) Arno Siebes (Universiteit Utrecht, NL) Local Organisation: Guillaume Beslon (INSA Lyon, F) Céline Robardet (INSA Lyon, F) Publicity Chair: Bruno Crémilleux (University of Caen, F) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Hi All, Paper proposals are now being accepted for the 4th IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems (ESAS 2009). Details follow below the signature. All inquiries are welcome. Have a good day /Iyi gunler dilerim. Atilla Elci, PhD. Dept. Comp.

THEME OF THE WORKSHOP ===================== Applying Semantic Technologies in Research and Development of Distributed, Autonomous, Ontology-Enabled Multi-Agent Systems towards Harmonizing Humans, Computers, and Software in Services Environments. Semantic web technologies render dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, shared content equally accessible to human reader and software agents. Distributed agents functioning autonomously can utilize semantic Web content to gather and aggregate knowledge, reason and infer new results towards achieving their goals and generating new knowledge. Such knowledge in turn may be disseminated and used to achieve the shared goal of the agents system. Here the vision is to achieve a synergy with multi-agent systems (MAS) technologies whereby both semantics and agents will be equally in the center stage. ESAS workshop series aims at garnering the synergy of both technologies by taking up both the semantic web and the agent aspects of the common research issue. Topics of interest span a wide spectrum in both theory and practice of autonomous semantic agents, context-aware intelligent agents, agents as semantic web services, software agents, mobile agents, agent architectures, multi-agent systems, agent communities, cooperation and goal seeking through sharing policy and ontology, safety& security in systems, other QoS issues, and so on. Mobile agent and MAS technologies are crucial in realizing multi-party dynamic application systems. Semantic Web technologies augment MAS by enabling agents with functioning based on the semantics of their mission and of the world around them. Agents, implemented as Web services in developing distributed control and processing applications, entail interesting consequences such as situation awareness, semantic composition of services, context sensitive long-lasting transactions, effecting service policies and quality levels, etc. Complex applications could become realizable with novel features such as factory floor automation for flexible production, collaborative discovery of uncharted geography (for example, cooperative labyrinth discovery), traffic management and info dissemination with facilitation of emergency services, financial markets forecasting with optimization of portfolio gain, etc. We envisage a strong undercurrent of intelligent software agents, mobile agents, and MAS running through this workshop; side by side with the use of semantic technologies, there are several foci of interest: *Software Agents, Mobile Agents, and MAS: --------------------------------------- Issues relating to architecture, implementation, coordination, service levels, security of pervasive semantic or otherwise agents. *Agent, MAS and Semantic Web Technologies: ---------------------------------------- Concomitant utilization of specific technologies in agent, MAS, and semantic Web implementations; semantic agent communities& applications; case studies of best-practice MAS applications; projects in the making; *Ontologies for Agents and MAS: ----------------------------- Agent cooperation and coordination ontology; ontology of workflow in MAS; ontologies for distributed applications and integration; sharing and semantic interoperability; discovery and operations on ontologies; trust& security issues; *Platforms for semantic agent and MAS implementation: --------------------------------------------------- Languages, frameworks, tools, integrated development environments and software engineering practices supporting semantic or otherwise software agent& MAS architectures, coordination, trust& security mechanisms, description, discovery and composition of agent-based services. *Other subjects of relevance in semantic technologies, semantic software agents, mobile agents, agent-based and multi-agent systems. LIKELY PARTICIPANTS =================== Researchers and practitioners of semantic software agents, mobile agents, MAS and semantic Web technologies are invited to propose papers and to attend the workshop. Those with interests in ontology-based systems, semantic agents, and agent-based systems are welcome. Researchers working on the following are especially encouraged to propose papers: realization of multi-agent systems through semantic web technology, ontology-based agent applications, distributed control and processing applications, security& trust, interoperability, service levels and quality issues in such systems. Enterprises and research centers developing ontgologies, languages, integrated development environments, tools, and middleware that are employed in engineering the above are encouraged to propose demo and tutorial presentations.

[Fwd: [isworld] Final cfp: AMCIS MT Philosophical underpinnings of IS Development and Design Science Research]
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Final cfp: AMCIS MT Philosophical underpinnings of IS Development and Design Science Research Datum: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 21:08:53 +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> Part of the Track: General Topics To be held on August 6 - 9, 2009 in San Francisco. Description: After a successful first mini track we believe that there is room for more discussion on philosophy behind general ISD and specific design research. Information System (IS) research can be seen as a rich tapestry of paradigms, methods, and research approaches. Amongst others, IS development and design science - both understood as design-oriented research approaches - are established approaches in IS. However, many researchers advocating the stance of such design-oriented research often neglect or overlook the importance of basic philosophical and epistemological grounding of their research. For instance, design science is often advocated as a third paradigm that adds up to positivism and interpretivism. However, the understanding of such concepts as 'research rigor', 'research validity', and 'research quality' depends heavily on the underlying philosophical understanding, also in design-oriented research! Furthermore, the debates on IS development, on the one hand, and on design science research, on the other hand, have often been conducted in different institutional contexts. Some authors take a purely technical view of software artifacts, others are more interested in the development process than the product and still other groups look only at the human and political issues and neglects the technology altogether. One of the goals of this workshop is to try to see if there is fruitful interchange among these approaches and other mainstream IS research, such as Action Research. Against this backdrop, the goal of this mini-track to analyze possible distinct philosophical assumptions underlying these distinct debates. Such comprehensive analysis will pave way for an integrated view on the status-quo of design-oriented IS research and not only build the basis for theoretically strengthening this stream of research, but also increase rigorous relevant research in IS. The goal of the track is thus in strong alignment with the the AMCIS 2008 conference theme "Learning from the Past & Charting the Future of the Discipline" which aims at integrating the achievements of and a future vision for IS research. Suggested topics: * Philosophical issues in design science and IS development research * Methodological issues in design science and IS development research * Ontological and epistemological issues in design science and IS development research * Philosophical issues in multi-methodological research * Philosophical issues in research evaluation * Comparative analysis of discourses on IS development and design science research * Methodological pluralism and its consequences * The 'IT artifact' and its philosophical assumptions Mini-track Co-Chairs: Matti Rossi, Helsinki School of Economics, Finland matti.rossi(a)hse.fi Björn Niehaves, University of Muenster, Germany bjoern.niehaves(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de Submission Process Full paper submissions must be made electronically through Manuscript Central. Papers will be peer reviewed using a double-blind system. Important Dates: * January 2, 2009: Manuscript Central Opens for Paper Submissions * February 20, 2009 (11:59PM Pacific time zone): Full Papers Due * April 2, 2009: Author Notification of Acceptance * April 20, 2009 (11:59PM Pacific time zone): Camera-Ready Copy Due For additional information please refer to the AMCIS website: http://www.amcis2009.org/ The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
