-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] I-USED 2009 at Interact (deadline extended to May 15) Datum: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:10:40 +0200 Von: Silvia Abrahão <sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es> Antwort an: Silvia Abrahão <sabrahao(a)dsic.upv.es> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 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. ****************************************** deadline extended to MAY 15 ****************************************** 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 developers 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. However, 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. 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. 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. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: 15th May 2009 Acceptance Notification: 20th June 2009 Camera-ready Deadline: 15th July 2009 Workshop: 24th August 2009 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Authors of papers must submit their papers by MAY 15.

[Fwd: [isworld] 2nd CfP: ECOWS'09 European Conf. on Web Services]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2nd CfP: ECOWS'09 European Conf. on Web Services Datum: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 10:23:03 -0400 Von: Jochem Vonk <j.vonk(a)tm.tue.nl> Antwort an: Jochem Vonk <j.vonk(a)tm.tue.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 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. Submit your paper in PDF or Postscript format via the electronic submission system which will be made available via the ECOWS 2009 web site.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: BIRTE'09 on Enabling Real-Time Business Intelligence Datum: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:46:59 -0400 Von: Malu Castellanos <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> Antwort an: Malu Castellanos <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS BIRTE 2009 Third International Workshop on Enabling Real-Time Business Intelligence http://www.cs.toronto.edu/db/birte09/ August 24, 2009 In conjunction with VLDB�09 August 24-28, 2009, Lyon, France IMPORTANT DATES * Abstracts due: June 8, 2009 * Papers due: June 12, 2009 * Notification: July 10, 2009 * Camera-ready copies: July 25, 2009 DESCRIPTION In today's competitive and highly dynamic environment, analyzing data to understand how the business is performing and to predict outcomes and trends has become critial. The traditional approach to reporting is no longer adequate, users now demand easy-to-use intelligent platforms and applications capable of analyzing real-time data to provide insight and actionable information at the right time. The end goal is to support better and timelier decision making, enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high quality information. Although there has been progress in this direction and many companies are introducing products towards meeting this goal, there is still a long way to go. In particular, the whole lifecycle of business intelligence requires new techniques and methodologies capable of dealing with the new requirements imposed by the new generation of BI applications. From the capturing of real-time business data to the transformation and delivery of actionable information, all the stages of the Business Intelligence (BI) cycle call for new algorithms and paradigms as the basis of new functionalities including dynamic integration of real-time data feeds from operational sources, optimization and evolution of ETL transformations and analytical models, and dynamic generation of adaptive real-time dashboards, just to name a few. The series of BIRTE workshops aims to provide a forum to discuss topics related to this emerging field and set research directions towards making business intelligence more real-time. Following the success of BIRTE 2006 held in Seoul, Korea in conjunction with VLDB 2006, and BIRTE 2008 held in Auckland, New Zealand in conjunction with VLDB 2008, submissions for research, industrial and position papers on relevant topics are encouraged. TOPICS OF INTEREST Models, Architectures and Technologies for Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Metadata management - Data quality and cleansing - BI over streaming data - Data capture in real-time - Performance and scalability - Real-time decision support - Tuning and management of the real-time data warehouse - Data warehouse evolution - ETL optimization - ETL for the real-time data warehouse - Data mining and data analysis in real-time - Real-time Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) - Real-time OLAP - Visualization Applications of Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Case studies - Pitfalls in applying BI tools to real-life problems - Lessons learned from large practical applications of real-time BI - Industrial experiences and challenges SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should follow the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details).The first page must contain an abstract, a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/industry paper). The length of a paper should not exceed 16 pages. Papers in PDF should be submitted electronically to the review web site https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/BIRTE2009/. PROCEEDINGS Post-proceedings will be published as a LNBIP volume by Springer-Verlag. NEW! Best papers of sufficiently high quality will be recommended for the VLDB Journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Enterprise Modeling practice meats research - again CfP PoEM 2009 Datum: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:22:20 -0400 Von: Anne Persson <anne.persson(a)his.se> Antwort an: Anne Persson <anne.persson(a)his.se> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 2nd IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on The Practice of Enterprise Modeling (PoEM) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18-19 November, 2009, Stockholm, Sweden http://poem.dsv.su.se/ The PoEM conferences contribute to establishing a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users and practitioners. The main focus of PoEM is EM methods, approaches, and tools as well as how they are used in practice. More specifically the goals of the conference are to contribute to a better understanding of the practice of EM, to contribute to improved EM practice as well as to share knowledge among researchers and PoEM 2009 will be the 2nd IFIP WG 8.1 working conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling. It follows the success of PoEM 2008. The conference attracted over 50 participants from all over the world, representing both industry and academia. This indicates that Enterprise Modeling (EM) has gained substantial of popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. The interactive format of the conference sparked constructive interaction between research and practice. The target for PoEM 2009 is to further strengthen this interaction by organizing collaborative working sessions within the conference program. Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: evaluation of EM methods from a practice perspective the process of modeling and guidelines for modeling management of EM projects use of EM in different contexts facilitation and group dynamics the competency of modelers and modeling teams model and process quality aspects reuse of enterprise models, modeling languages tools and workbenches enterprise model management success factors in EM teaching the practice EM and agile development enterprise knowledge architectures standardization issues and reference models method engineering in EM concordance between EM and information systems development Event Format ------------ PoEM is a highly interactive event. The conference will be organized at a venue that stimulates discussion and open exchange of ideas and experiences. In addition to highly interactive paper sessions the event will include hands on experiences with EM, idea storming and industrial think tanks. Paper types ----------- Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practices. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an indepth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. Research papers describe original research contributions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) to the area of EM. A research paper should clearly describe the situation or problem that is tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential or the evaluated benefits of the contribution. Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Idea papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging EM challenges They should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of the current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. Submission guidelines --------------------- The conference proceedings will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). Papers should be submitted in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0. Important dates --------------- 30 June 2009, paper submission deadline 20 August 2009 notification of acceptance 18-19 November 2009, Conference Looking forward to seeing you in Stockholm!

The present edition focus on techniques that can be easily integrated into existing systems engineering practices. With this in mind, we hope to address a number of different themes, including: * techniques for incident and accident analysis; * empirical studies of operator * behaviour in safety-critical systems; * observational studies of safety-critical systems; * risk assessment techniques for interactive systems; * safety-related interface design, * development and testing. We would also encourage papers that cross these boundaries. Finally, we are interested to encourage contributions from many diverse sectors. These include but are not limited to aviation, maritime and the other transportation industries, the healthcare industries, process and power generation, military application.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: 3rd International Workshop on E-Marketplace Integration & Interoperability (EM2I'09) Datum: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:00:53 -0400 Von: Joerg Leukel <joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de> Antwort an: Joerg Leukel <joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ========================================================================== Call for Papers ========================================================================== The 3rd International Workshop on E-Marketplace Integration & Interoperability (EM2I'09) In conjunction with 2009 IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2009) October 21-23, 2009 Macau, China http://www.em2i.org/2009 ========================================================================== BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: -------------------------- EM2I'09 is a venue for presenting state-of-the-art research and development achievements in the design, introduction, and use of integration technology for e-marketplaces that affect business interoperability between firms, within supply chains, and between fragmented e-marketplaces. Although the traditional forms of e-marketplaces such as intermediaries, supplier portals, and content hubs are an important area of focus for the workshop, integration technology is increasingly supporting a much wider range of business interoperability that enables contextually heterogeneous enterprises to semantically work together beyond operational transactions. As more and more firms in all regions of the globe are able to interact online, we are rapidly moving toward an integrated global e-marketplace consisting of loosely coupled vertical, horizontal, and regional e-marketplaces. Topics of interest for EM2I'09 include all contexts in which integration technology is used to mediate enterprise activities through e-marketplaces such as buyer and seller matching, transaction facilitation and international trade, e-servicing, and legal infrastructure. The technology may include business information engineering, languages for describing products and services, business document modeling and integration, business process design and coordination, marketplace services collaboration, business semantic technologies, business rules, e-marketplace protections and legal infrastructure. Given its specified context, EM2I'09 is a multi-disciplinary workshop, and participation of people from diverse backgrounds, cultures and perspectives is strongly encouraged. We welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners in all sectors, including academia, industry, and government. TOPICS OF INTEREST: ------------------- * Semantic technologies for business interoperability on e-marketplaces - Ontology-based e-marketplace integration technologies - Collaboration-based e-marketplace integration technologies - Standards and protocols for business vocabulary, documents, processes, and services - Semantic approaches to business rules on e-marketplaces - Computational linguistics in the context of e-marketplaces * Web Service technology on e-marketplaces - Service-oriented models and frameworks for e-marketplaces - Service-oriented approaches for fragmented e-marketplaces * Technical functions on e-marketplaces - Matching sellers and buyers - Support electronic marketing - Facilitating business transactions and international trade, including e-trading, e-payment, e-logistics, e-warehousing, - e-customs, e-quality inspection, and e-banking - Support of after-sales services - Securely protecting e-marketplaces - Implementing the legal infrastructure of e-marketplaces * Empirical research on e-marketplaces - Trends of e-marketplace development - Business models for e-marketplaces - Vertical, horizontal, and regional aspects of e-marketplaces SUBMISSION: ----------- We solicit original unpublished full papers of both technical and empirical aspects. Papers should be submitted in IEEE conference paper format and should not exceed 6 pages. Maximum of two additional pages is allowed for US$150/page. All papers will be evaluated based on relevance, significance, originality, clarity, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings of ICEBE 2009, which will be published by IEEE Computer Society and made available in the IEEE Digital Library. The paper submission will take place using EasyChair.
