|--------------------------------------------------------|
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).

Betreff: [isworld] Special MISQE Issue on Domestic and Global Sourcing
of the IT Workforce

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special MISQE Issue on Domestic and Global Sourcing of the IT Workforce
The most recent annual survey of SIM members indicates that �attracting,
developing and retaining IT professionals� has again become the top
concern of CIOs. In contrast to the late 1990s, the desired skills mixes
for client firms are changing -- with technical skills vital for some
jobs, but change management and business knowledge & capabilities, in
various mixes, becoming increasingly important.
Projections for Western Europe and other developed economies also indicate
future IT skills gaps, while the major offshore destination of India is
experiencing high labour turnover, rising pay demands, and skills
shortfalls leading to the offshoring of some of its own IT work to
�nearshore� or cheaper destinations. Other countries such as the
Philippines, Vietnam, and Ireland are seeking to deal with rising demands
related to new sourcing strategies. There are also over 120 emerging IT
industries around the world in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and
non-BRIC countries, with considerable implications for the location and
management of domestic and global IT workforces.
We are pleased to announce that the December 2009 issue of MISQ Executive
will be a special issue dedicated to academic research on Domestic and
Global Sourcing of the IT Workforce. All papers submitted for this special
issue will be submitted to a regular MISQE review process under the
guidance of the special issue editors.
Themes to be addressed include but are not restricted to:
� Key IT skill requirements and building for the next decade � in client
and vendor organizations
� Implications of future requirements on IT skills supply systems
� The implications of offshoring and outsourcing arrangements for skills
portfolios
� IT skills gaps � old versus new skills, the roles of automation,
redesigning work, individual career structures, organizational
development strategies
� Applying core/non-core concepts to IT workforce strategies
� Applying 24-hour follow-the-sun concepts to different types of IT work
� Strategic human resource challenges and practices to address skill needs
and career development in today�s global sourcing environment.
Recruitment, retention, training, remuneration issues and case studies
� The implications and challenges of IT-enabled business process
outsourcing (BPO)
� Country and regional studies � leveraging IT sourcing changes in
developed countries as well as BRIC and non-BRIC developing countries
Authors are encouraged to submit papers intended for an IT executive
readership that describe practice-oriented research findings and
guidelines.

GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE
mLearn2008: The Text and the Context
John Traxler, Learning Lab, UK
Seven years after the first in the mLearn conference series, at that time
modestly entitled the European Workshop on Mobile and Contextual Learning,
mLearn returned to Britain in 2008, this time to the UNESCO World Heritage
site at Ironbridge. The conference themes and submissions addressed many
of the challenges currently facing the mobile learning research community.
The first theme, that of mobile learning, mobile knowledge, and mobile
societies embraced current ideas about the relationships between
discourse, identity, knowledge, and ideas about learning with pervasive,
ubiquitous, and mobile technologies and also covered the social,
individual, and cultural aspects of mobile learning. The devices, systems,
technology, and standards theme looked at technology and devices
themselves and at topics of convergence, diversity, frontiers, and trends.
The mobile learning landscape theme was the focus for innovative projects,
programs, and initiatives in work-based, informal, subject-specific, and
context-aware mobile learning that extends the mobile learning evidence
base. Finally, the �mobile learning for all� theme covered inclusion,
assistivity, scalability, embedding, participation, evaluation, evidence,
assessment, and development and explored mobile learning in the context of
broader educational priorities.The articles selected for this special
edition span these themes.
To read the preface, please consult the issue of IJMBL in your library.
PAPER ONE
Wildfire Activities: New Patterns of Mobility and Learning
Yrjö Engeström, University of Helsinki, Finland
This article argues a historical perspective on mobility and learning. In
social production or peer production, mobility takes the shape of
expansive swarming, sideways transitions, and boundary-crossing. The
notion of wildfire activities is proposed to point out that activities
such as birding, skateboarding, and disaster relief of the Red Cross have
characteristics similar to those of peer production but predate internet
and take place mainly outside the sphere of digital virtuality. Wildfire
activities pop up in unexpected locations at unexpected times and expand
very rapidly. Learning in wildfire activities is learning by swarming that
crosses boundaries and ties knots between actors.

PAPER TWO
Designing Participant-Generated Context into Guided Tours
Juliet Sprake, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
This article presents an interdisciplinary framework for designing
participant-generated context into guided tours. The framework has been
developed in parallel to practice-led research in the design of mobile
learning tours with young people based in London. This article draws on
art, architecture, and urbanism to outline productive concepts, �seeding�,
and �threading�, which support mobilized learning in tours of the built
environment. The author explores an active and dynamic idea in developing
attributes of the mobilized learner in the design of tours around
buildings and the built environment.

PAPER THREE
Improving Cross-Cultural Awareness and Communication through Mobile
Technologies
Adele Botha, Meraka Institute, South Africa
Steve Vosloo, Stanford University, USA
John Kuner, Stanford University, USA
Madelein van den Berg, Meraka Institute, South Africa
Increasingly, technology is mediating the way in which the youth around
the world communicate, consume content, and create meaning. As mobile
communication media and the Internet become more pervasive, young people
from different cultures and communities are afforded more opportunities
for collaboration across previously unbridgeable distances. The need for
cross-cultural awareness and communication is thus more important than
ever.

PAPER FOUR
Meeting the Challenges in Evaluating Mobile Learning: A 3-Level Evaluation
Framework
Giasemi Vavoula, University of Leicester, UK
Mike Sharples, University of Nottingham, UK
The authors offer six challenges in evaluating mobile learning and propose
a three-level framework for evaluating mobile. This article concludes with
a discussion of how the framework meets the evaluation challenges and with
suggestions for further extensions.

PAPER FIVE
Ethical Considerations in Implementing Mobile Learning in the Workplace
Jocelyn Wishart, University of Bristol, UK
Workplace based personal and professional development is essential for
students in the health, social care, and teaching professions. In this era
of ubiquitous computing recording and reflecting upon learning and
reviewing student progress in the workplace is easily enabled via mobile
technologies, yet researchers and student users in these settings continue
to find using personal, mobile technologies a challenge. It is much less a
technical challenge more than one requiring institutional and cultural
innovation in permissions and behaviors within these settings. This
article describes the outcomes of a recent international workshop
conducted with experts in the fields of mobile learning and education on
prioritizing areas of concern and establishing best practices. In
conclusion, this paper presents a framework for consideration by the
mobile learning community that can be used to highlight and prioritize
ethical considerations before conducting research into the use of mobile
devices by students in workplaces and schools.

WORKSHOP RATIONALE AND AIMS
---------------------------
Information integration, application integration and component-based
software development have been among the most important research areas
for decades. The last years in this area have been characterized by a
particular focus on Web services, the very recent years by the advent of
Web mashups, a new and user-centric form of integration on the Web.
Especially with the advent of mashup tools, the mashup phenomenon has
become popular even under Web users with only little programming skills.
However, mashups are still characterized by a lack of agreed-upon
reference models, development processes and methodologies,
architectures, execution platforms, analysis techniques, and so on. Yet,
the involvement of Web users into the development of composite Web
applications demands for a high degree of assistance and intelligible
concepts, and results in new (social) development practices which on
their turn may require new software support.
In this context, several challenging research issues are emerging, such as:
- Reusable components: Expressive component models for data, application
logic, and user interface components, as well as suitable description
languages and discovery and selection facilities (e.g. registries and
protocols) are needed.
- Simple, “user-oriented” (lightweight) composition languages:
Easy-to-learn yet expressive execution languages are required, which
enable the plug-in style development of composite applications.
- Graphical composition tools: Composition languages should be equipped
with suitable graphical modeling formalisms that hide the actual
composition language and allow for computer-aided development environments.
- Suitable execution platforms: Ready mashup applications require proper
execution support (e.g. an interpreter or parser). We expect such
support to be provided through online hosting and execution platforms.
- Design aimed at interoperability: Ideally, components and mashups
should be interoperable, meaning that they have cross-platform
reusability. Mashup-specific standards might be necessary.
ComposableWeb wants to challenge the Web Engineering community with
these new research issues and to stimulate the discussion of key issues,
approaches, open problems, innovative applications, and trends in these
and related research areas, so as to identify technologies, solutions,
instruments and methodologies effectively supporting the lightweight
integration/composition of Web applications.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
Areas of particular interest for the Workshop include (but are not
limited to):
- Web/service mashups
- Web composition technologies for data, services, and user interfaces
- Web composition models and languages
- Graphical support for Web composition/mashups
- Lightweight data integration
- Lightweight application integration
- Lightweight UI integration (integration at the presentation level)
- Lightweight (semantic) metadata or knowledge integration
- Design methodologies with/without user involvement
- New development models
- User interface aspects of Web composition
- Context-aware and personalized Web composition/mashups
- Usability and Accessibility of composite Web applications

edBPM 09
2nd International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management
7-10 September 2009, Ulm, Germany
http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de
-------------------------------
Information about the workshop
-------------------------------
The recently coined term «Event-Driven Business Process Management»
(EDBPM) is nowadays an enhancement of Business Process Management (BPM) by
new concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven
Architecture (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity
Monitoring (BAM) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). In this context BPM
means a software platform which provides companies the ability to model,
manage, and optimize these processes for significant gain. As an
independent system, CEP is a parallel running platform that analyses and
processes events. The BPM- and the CEP-platform correspond via events
which are produced by the BPM-workflow engine and by the � if distributed
- IT services which are associated with the business process steps. Also
events coming from different event sources in different forms can trigger
a business process or influence the execution of the process or a service,
which can result in another event. Even more, the correlation of these
events in a particular context can be treated as a complex, business level
event, relevant for the execution of other business processes or services.
A business process � arbitrarily fine or coarse grained � can be seen as a
service again and can be �choreographed� with other business processes or
services, even between different enterprises and organisations.
Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides important
benefits:
- Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and
processes respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever
they happen.
- Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and
optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements.
- Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming
languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without
breaking the process model.
Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the above mentioned
problem domain. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not
limited to:
- Event-driven BPM: Concepts e.g. Role of event processing in BPM,
Business Events: types and representation, Event stream processing in
business processes, Data- and event-driven business processes
- Design-time CEP and BPM e.g. Modelling events in human-oriented tasks,
Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM, BPMN and event processing.
- Run-time CEP and BPM e.g. Event pattern detection, BPEL and event
processing, Reasoning about unknown/similar events
- Applications/Use cases for event-driven BPM e.g. Event-driven
monitoring/BAM , Event-driven SLA monitoring
-------------------------------
Submission
-------------------------------
The following types of submission are solicited:
- Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel
ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long.
- Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers
should be at most 6 pages long.
Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format
(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, a classification
of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an
indication of the submission category (Long Paper/ Short Paper).
Papers can be uploaded via the workshop page on easychair, the address can
be found on the workshop homepage (http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de).
Selected papers will be published in the Special issue in Journal of
Software Process Improvement and Practice for selected BPM 2009 workshop
papers.
