Regards, Bruce Campbell Dr. Bruce Campbell Lecturer School of Systems, Management and Leadership Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology University of Technology, Sydney P.O. Box 123 Broadway 2007 ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW -------- The RE Doctoral Symposium is an international forum for PhD students working in all areas of Requirements Engineering. The forum is intended to bring together PhD students and give them the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructively critical atmosphere, and to meet fellow researchers at a similar stage of their career. More precisely, the goals of the RE Doctoral Symposium are: * to give PhD students a chance to showcase their research, * to provide them with feedback from a panel of senior international researchers, * to facilitate interaction among the participants, * to offer PhD students the opportunity to attend the RE conference. The doctoral symposium will operate in a workshop-like format. WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE ---------------------- The Doctoral Symposium welcomes PhD students who are somewhere in the middle of their doctoral research, that is: * students who have settled on a dissertation topic, * and whose PhD dissertation will benefit from the feedback received. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- To apply as a student participant to the Doctoral Symposium, you should prepare a submission package consisting of two parts (described below), both of which must be submitted via e-mail to Didar Zowghi and Patrick Heymans no later than May 11th, 2009, 23.59 Apia, Samoa time. PART 1 -- RESEARCH ABSTRACT Your research abstract must be formatted according to the IEEE CS proceedings format (see http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/ for instructions and templates) and must be a maximum of four pages with main text in 10 point font, including all text, references, appendices, and figures. All submissions must be in English. Submissions must be in PDF format. The research abstract should cover: * Research question - clearly formulate the technical problem to be solved. * Motivation - justify the importance of the problem. * State of the art - describe what existing work your research builds upon (citing key publications), and also briefly describe any existing solutions that have been developed or are currently being developed (citing key publications) and why they do not solve the problem. * Proposed solution - sketch the proposed technical solution. * Contributions - point out your (existing and planned) contributions to the solution of the problem, and state in what aspects the suggested solution is different, new or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem. * Research methods - indicate the methods you are using or will use to carry out your research. * Progress - describe the progress made in solving the stated problem and propose a plan to complete the research. The plan should include your strategy for evaluating your work and presenting credible evidence of your results to the research community. The sections of the paper need not necessarily follow the above structure, but should feature the required content and allow to identify it easily. We understand that students at a relatively early stage of their research might have some difficulty addressing all of the content requirements, but should attempt to do so as best they can. The research abstract should include the title of your work, your name, affiliation, email address, postal address, personal website, and a one paragraph short summary in the style of an abstract for a regular paper. Submissions should contain no proprietary or confidential material and should cite no proprietary or confidential publications. PART 2 -- LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION Ask your (main) dissertation advisor for a letter of recommendation. This letter should include: * your name, * a candid assessment of the current status of your dissertation research, * an expected date for dissertation submission.

The Conference is organized by the Ecole Superieure d'Informatique et Genie de Telecommunication (ESIGETEL), France and - In Cooperation with ACM SIGAPP (French Chapter) - In Cooperation with WIC (Web Intelligent Consortium) - Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (pending approval) -- Proceedings published by ACM Press -- ************************************************************************* Plenary Speakers: Ronald Yager, USA Hsinchun Chen, USA Conference Objective: Social networks provide a powerful abstraction of the structure and dynamics of diverse kinds of people or people-to-technology interaction. These social network systems are usually characterized by the complex network structures and rich accompanying contextual information. Recent trends also indicate the usage of complex network as a key feature for next generation usage and exploitation of the Web. This international conference on "Computational Aspect of Networks" is focused on the foundations of social networks as well as case studies, empirical, and other methodological works related to the computational tools for the automatic discovery of Web-based social networks. This conference provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the ethological approach to social behavior in animals (including the study of animal tracks and learning by members of the same species) with web-based evidence of social interaction, perceptual learning, information granulation, the behavior of humans and affinities between web-based social networks. The main topics cover the design and use of various computational intelligence tools and software, simulations of social networks, representation and analysis of social networks, use of semantic networks in the design and community-based research issues such as knowledge discovery, privacy and protection, and visualization. We solicit original research and technical papers not published elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application oriented on the following themes (but not limited to): * Network evolution o Network evolution and growth mechanisms. o Online communities and computer networks. o Information diffusion in social networks. o Detection of communities by document analysis. o Topology of real networks. * Recommendation o Information diffusion in social networks. o Recommendations for product purchase, information acquisition and establishment of social relations. o Impact of recommendation models on the evolution of the social network. o Classification models and their application in social recommender systems. * Advertisement models o Economical impact of social network discovery. o Social advertising. o Use of social networks for marketing. * Search in network o Web page ranking informed by social media. o Search algorithms on social networks. o Collaborative Filtering. * Security o Anomaly detection in social network evolution. o Data protection inside communities. o Crime data mining and network analysis. o Modeling trust and reputation in social networks. o Misbehavior detection in communities. * Network geography o Geographical clusters, networks, and innovation. o Social geography. o International Collaborations in e-Social network. * Web o Automatic discovery and analysis of Web based social networks. o Link Topology and Site Hierarchy. o Web mining algorithms. o Web communities. o Web-Based Cooperative Work. * Evaluation o Test collection. o Benchmark creation. o Measures and methodologies.

[Fwd: [WI] CfP Workshop "Methodische Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen"]
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP Workshop "Methodische Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen" Datum: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:10:26 +0100 Von: Jens Gulden <jens.gulden(a)uni-duisburg-essen.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Papers ----------------------------------- Methodische Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen Workshop auf der Konferenz Informatik 2009, Lübeck, 29.9.2009 http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/GI-WS-2009 Termin für Einreichungen: 26.4.2009 ----------------------------------- Thema: Domänenspezifische Modellierungssprachen (DSML) erlauben die Erstellung semantisch gehaltvoller und konsistenter Modelle und bieten die Grundlage für spezifische Analysen und Transformationen von Modellen. Die effiziente Nutzung von DSML erfordert allerdings den Einsatz geeigneter Modellierungswerkzeuge. In der Theorie können derartige Werkzeuge weitgehend automatisch mittels generativer Verfahren aus Sprachbeschreibungen erzeugt werden. Bei der Anwendung von Tools zur Modellierungswerkzeugentwicklung zeigen sich jedoch methodologische Herausforderungen, deren Überwindung Voraussetzung für die Nutzung der entworfenen Modellierungssprache ist. Der Workshop bietet ein Forum zum Erfahrungsaustausch über die Erstellung lauffähiger Modellierungswerkzeuge. Dabei werden Werkzeuge, Methoden und Architekturansätze diskutiert, die bei der Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen zum Einsatz kommen. Unter anderem sind damit das gegenwärtig weit verbreitete Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) mit den ergänzenden Komponenten Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) und Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) angesprochen. Der Workshop richtet den Blick aber auch auf alternative Ansätze und nimmt eine kritische Perspektive auf die EMF/GEF/GMF Komponenten ein. Als Einreichungen willkommen sind Beiträge über Forschungsprojekte, in deren Zusammenhang Modellierungswerkzeuge realisiert wurden, sowie Arbeiten, die die Methodik und Architektur des Entwickelns von Modellierungswerkzeugen in den Blick nehmen. Darüber hinaus besteht im Rahmen des Workshops die Möglichkeit zur Tool-Präsentation für Werkzeuge aus der Praxis. Einreichungen können unter anderem Fragen der folgenden Art behandeln: - Wie können Sprachbeschreibungen, z.B. Metamodelle, zur Teilautomatisierung der Werkzeugerstellung verwendet werden, und wie lassen sich die abstrakte und konkrete Syntax von Modellierungssprachen vorbereitend für die generative Software-Entwicklung effizient beschreiben? - Wo bestehen Trade-offs bei der Verwendung von generiertem Code einerseits und Runtime-Frameworks andererseits als Bausteine eines Modellierungswerkzeugs? Gehen gegenwärtig verfügbare Lösungen in der Kombination beider Ansätze angemessen vor, wo besteht Verbesserungspotenzial? - Wie können im Entwicklungsprozess manuelle Änderungen an automatisch generierten Code-Fragmenten methodisch transparent nachvollzogen und dokumentiert werden? - Wie lassen sich Versionierungskonflikte zwischen geänderten Versionen eines Werkzeugs und bereits bestehenden Instanzdaten (Modelldateien) methodisch handhaben? - Wie wirkt sich eine offene Komponentenarchitektur, wie sie beispielsweise die Eclipse-Plattform bietet, auf die Gestaltung von Werkzeugarchitekturen und die Auswahl von Entwicklungsmethoden aus? - Welche Architekturdefizite bieten gegenwärtig verfügbare Frameworks, und welche Verbesserungsschritte wären im Hinblick auf die Umsetzung semantikreicher, domänenspezifischer Modellierungssprachen zu unternehmen? Beitragsformat: Die angenommen Workshopbeiträge werden in einem gemeinsamen Tagungsband der GI-Reihe "Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)" erscheinen und sollten als PDF Datei mit einer der LNI-Formatvorlagen (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/) erstellt werden. Sie sollten 15 Seiten nicht überschreiten und keine Seitenzahlen beinhalten. Die Einreichung erfolgt über das Konferenzverwaltungssystem unter https://www.itm.uni-luebeck.de/conftool-gi09/. Weitere Informationen finden sich unter http://www.informatik2009.de/einreichung.html. Bei Fragen wenden Sie sich bitte an die Workshop-Organisation, jens.gulden(a)uni-duisburg-essen.de.

To efficiently apply DSMLs, software tool support is required. In theory, such software tools can to a great extent be generated automatically from formal language descriptions. When applying tools to generate model editors, however, methodologic challenges arise which must be overcome before using the created modelling languages. The workshop fosters the exchange between experts on creating running modelling software tools. Tools, methods and architectural approaches for developing modelling software tools will be discussed. To a great extent this covers the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) with its extending components Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) and Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF), which currently are widely used for modelling tool development. However, the workshop also throws light on alternative approaches and takes a critical perspective on the EMF/GEF/GMF components. Submissions on scientific research projects using specifically developed modelling tools are welcome, as well as contributions which focus on the general architecture and the development process of modelling tools. Besides, the workshop will provide the opportunity to present modelling tools from practical projects. Contributions are encouraged, but not limited, to cover questions of the following kind: - How can formal language descriptions, typically given as metamodels, be utilized for partially automating the creation process of modelling tools, and how can descriptions of the abstract and concrete syntax of modelling languages efficiently be prepared for generative software development? - Which trade-offs can be identified between creating software from generated source code on the one hand, and utilizing a runtime-framework on the other hand? Are both approaches combined efficiently by currently available solutions, where is potential for improvement? - How can manual modifications of automatically generated source code be methodically retraced and transparently documented? - Which approaches exist to deal with versioning conflicts between changed versions of a tool and already existing model instances / model files? - How does an open component architecture, as offered by, e.g., the Eclipse platform, influence the design of tool architectures and the choice among corresponding development methods? - From which deficits do currently available frameworks suffer, and which steps of improvement can be taken in order to overcome these deficits especially for the task of developing semantically rich, domain specific modelling languages? Format of contributions: Accepted workshop contributions will appear in the joint conference proceedings as part of the series "Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)". They are to be submitted as PDF files created with the LNI format templates (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/), should not exceed 15 pages and not contain page numbers. Submissions will be posted via the conference management system at https://www.itm.uni-luebeck.de/conftool-gi09/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] [wkwi] CfP Organizational Engineering Minitrack - New at HICSS-43 Datum: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:41:14 +0100 (CET) Von: robert.winter(a)unisg.ch Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; Call for Papers “Organizational Engineering” Minitrack within the Organizational Systems and Technology Track at the 43rd Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS-43) January 05-08, 2009, Kauai, Hawaii, USA http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/ http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_43/minitracks/os-oen.htm The Organizational Engineering Minitrack at HICSS-43 Dominated by the behavioral science approach for a long time, information systems research increasingly acknowledges design science research as a complementary approach. The systematic design of artifacts is not restricted to information systems components. Being the conceptual foundations for information systems requirements, artifacts on the strategic and organizational levels have to be engineered as well. Organizational engineering aims at researching concepts, methods and technology in order to understand, model, develop and analyze all important aspects of changing organizations. As a whole, it focuses on understanding the relationships and dependencies between strategy, organizational structuring, business processes, information flows and the supporting software systems. It encompasses several multi-disciplinary topics, including modeling business goals and processes, formalizing enterprise ontologies, identifying services and analyzing best practices and patterns. The focus of this minitrack is on approaches that deal with relating both business and technological aspects of an organization. The organizational engineering minitrack provides an opportunity for researchers, academics or practitioners interested in organizational modeling, methodologies and tools to present their solutions, exchange their ideas and discuss open issues and future directions. Although this is the first edition of the Organizational Engineering minitrack at HICSS, an Organizational Engineering track has been a part of the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (ACM SAC) for the last six years. We expect synergies between researchers, practitioners and other tracks to be significantly higher at HICSS. Topics The organizational engineering minitrack will provide a space for theoretical and applied research studies on organizational engineering, including the topics listed below: Enterprise Modeling - Enterprise modeling, including modeling of business processes, goals, strategy, information entities, business structure, support systems, skills and people. - Enterprise modeling notations, including formal modeling methods and notations. - Dynamics of enterprise modeling. Approaches for handling the continuous update and evolution of enterprise models. - Temporal aspects of enterprise modeling, including modeling of dynamic processes and explicit modeling of time within the enterprise. - Enterprise alignment. Methodologies and conceptual frameworks for analyzing, creating and maintaining the alignment between enterprise concepts such as strategy, business processes, information, actors and the support systems and technology. - Automatic and assisted generation of enterprise models. Includes bottom-up, top-down and middle-out methods, models and tools for assisting the generation of enterprise models. - Enterprise model mining, including business process mining and business information mining. - Frameworks and tools for the deployment, execution, simulation, assessment and performance analysis of enterprise models. - Enterprise ontologies. - Enterprise model analysis, verification and validation. Business Process Engineering - Business process re-engineering and business process patterns. - Business process analysis and simulation. - Analysis and design of process-oriented software implementations. - Specification of intra- and inter-organizational collaborations and contracts.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: ECOWS'09 European Conf. on Web Services Datum: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:51:25 +0100 Von: Vonk, J. <J.Vonk(a)tue.nl> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers ECOWS 2009: The 7th European Conference on Web Services November 9-11, 2009, Eindhoven, The Netherlands http://is.ieis.tue.nl/ecows09 The European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS) is the premier conference for both researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest advances in the state of the art and practices of Web Services. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. The success encountered by the Web has shown that tightly coupled software systems are only good for niche markets, whereas loosely coupled software systems can be more flexible, more adaptive and often more appropriate in practice. Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other systems, possibly legacy systems that share very little with it. Web services are at the crossing of distributed computing and loosely coupled systems. When applications adopt service-oriented architectures, they can evolve during their lifespan more easily and better adapt to changing or unpredictable environments. When properly implemented, services can be discovered and invoked dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms, while each service can still be implemented in a black-box manner. This is important from a business perspective since each service can be implemented using any technology, independently of the others. What matters is that everybody agrees on the integration technology, and there is a consensus about this in today's middleware market: customers want to use Web technologies. Despite these promises, however, service integrators, developers, and providers need to create methods tools and techniques to support cost-effective development and the use of dependable services and service-oriented applications. Topics of Interest: The ECOWS 2009 Program Committee seeks high quality papers related to all aspects of Web Services, which constitute the current main technology available for implementing service-oriented architectures and computing. Topics of interest to the Research Track include, but are not limited to, the following: * Life-Cycle of Web Services Implementations * Dynamic Web Services * Semantic Web Services * Economics and Web Services * Quality Requirements for Web Services * Web Services for Grids * Web Services in a Service-Oriented Environment * Web Services and Mobility * Web Services and Business Process Management * Frameworks for Building Web Service-Based Applications * Formal Methods for Web Services Research Paper Submission Guidelines: We solicit papers with a maximum of 10 pages, containing new material. Submissions must be in English, must be original, and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. There will be an award for the best paper and best student paper. Submissions should be made through the website. As in the previous years, we plan to publish the ECOWS 2009 Proceedings with IEEE Computer Society Press. Technical papers must be conform to the IEEE paper guidelines which will be made available at the ECOWS 2009 web page.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] I-USED 2009 at INTERACT'09 in Uppsala Datum: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 17:21:06 +0100 Von: sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es Antwort an: sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Workshop on the Interplay between Usability Evaluation and Software Development (I-USED 2009), Uppsala, Sweden, August 24th, 2009. http://www.dsic.upv.es/workshops/i-used09 In conjunction with the 12th IFIP TC13 Conference in Human-Computer Interaction (INTERACT 2009) Upssala, Sweden, August 26-28, 2009. MOTIVATION Software development is highly challenging. Despite many significant successes, several software development projects fail completely or produce software with serious limitations, including (1) lack of usefulness, i.e. the system does not adequately support the core tasks of the user, (2) unsuitable designs of user interactions and interfaces, (3) lack of productivity gains or even reduced productivity despite heavy investments in information. Broadly speaking, two approaches have been taken to address these limitations. The first approach is to employ evaluation activities in a software development project in order to determine and improve the usability of the software, i.e. the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which users achieve their goals. To help software developersí work with usability within this approach, more than 20 years of research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has created and compared techniques for evaluating usability. The second approach is based on the significant advances in techniques and methodologies for user interface design that have been achieved in the last decades. In particular, researchers in user interface design have worked on improving the usefulness of information technology by focusing on a deeper understanding on how to extract and understand user needs. Their results today constitute the areas of participatory design and user-centered design. In addition, the Software Engineering (SE) community has recognized that usability does not only affect the design of user interfaces but the software system development as a whole. In particular, efforts are focused on explaining the implications of usability for requirements gathering, software architecture design, and the selection of software components. However, the interplay between these two fields, and between the activities they advocate to be undertaken in software development, have been limited. Integrating usability evaluation at relevant points in software development (and in particular to the user interface design) with successful and to-the-point results has proved difficult. In addition, research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Software Engineering (SE) has been done mainly independently of each other with no in substantial exchange of results and sparse efforts to combine the techniques of the two approaches. Larry Constantine, a prominent software development researcher, and his colleagues express it this way: Integrating usability into the software development process is not easy or obvious (Juristo et al. 2001, p. 21). THEME AND GOALS The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the HCI and SE fields to determine the state-of-the-art in the interplay between usability evaluation and software development and to generate ideas for new and improved relations between these activities. The aim is to base the determination of the current state on empirical studies. Presentations of new ideas on how to improve the interplay between HCI & SE to the design of usable software systems should also be based on empirical studies. Within this focus, topics of discussion include, but are not limited to: - Which artifacts of software development are useful as the basis for usability evaluations? - How do the specific artifacts obtained during software development influence the techniques that are relevant for the usability evaluation? - In which forms are the results of usability evaluations supplied back into software development (including the UI design)? - What are the characteristics of usability evaluation results that are needed in software development? - Do existing usability evaluation methods deliver the results that are needed in user interface design? - How can usability evaluation be integrated more directly in user interface design? - How can usability evaluation methods be applied in emerging techniques for user interface design? - How can usability evaluation methods be integrated to novel approaches for software development (e.g., model-driven development, agile development). PARTICIPANTS Participants are accepted on the basis of their submitted papers. We aim at 15 with a maximum of 20 participants. The intended audience is primarily software engineering and human-computer interaction researchers who are working with the theme. The workshop should also be relevant for practitioners who have experiences with and ideas for improving the interplay between HCI and SE. RELEVANCE TO THE FIELD The main contribution is the determination of state-of-the-art and the identification of areas for improvement and further research. The HCI field includes a rich variety of techniques for either usability evaluation or user interface design. But there are very few methodological guidelines for the interplay between these key activities; and more important, there are few guidelines on how to properly integrate these two activities in a software development process. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: 25th April 2009 Acceptance Notification: 20th June 2009 Camera-ready Deadline: 15th July 2009 Workshop: 24th August 2009 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Authors are invited to submit their papers by APRIL 25. Papers should be submitted in PDF-format to the workshop reviewing system at (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iused2009). Participants will be notified before June 20 and subsequently the papers will be made available to the workshop participants. Papers should describe empirical studies of the interplay between usability evaluation and software development. Two types of submissions are solicited: full papers with up to 6 pages describing substantial, completed work, and position papers with 2 pages describing either results that can be concisely reported or work in progress. Submissions must be clearly marked as one of these two types. Both types of papers should be formatted according to the ACM template for proceedings available at (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). All papers will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee with regard to the relevance and originality of the work and their ability to generate discussions among the participants of the workshop. The workshop proceedings will be published on-line as part of the CEUR Workshop proceedings series. ACTIVITIED PLANNED AND OUTCOMES Tentatively, the Workshop-programme (full day) is as follows: - Introduction to workshop. - A keynote speech by a recognized researcher in the field. - Presentation of selected papers followed by limited discussion. - The organization of the workshop participants around thematic groups. - Reports from the groups and plenary discussion of main issues. - Discussion of how to continue the work. The outcome of the workshop is a collection of papers as well as a presentation and discussion of the validity and significance of these papers.
