-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP : Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (EDOC'09) Datum: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 17:23:43 -0500 Von: Selmin NURCAN <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> Antwort an: Selmin NURCAN <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear Colleague, I will be grateful to you for advertising the First Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA@EE'09), for submitting your work and inviting your colleagues and/or research students to submit their work. SoEA@EE'09 is organised in conjunction with the 13th International Enterprise Computing Conference (EDOC) on September 1st, 2009, Auckland, New Zealand. The goal of the SoEA@EE'09 workshop is to clarify the relationship between business process management and service provisioning. The objective is twofold: (i) To characterise the strong relationship existing between Business Process Management (BPM) and Service oriented Enterprise Architecture (SoEA) (ii) To develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of Service-Oriented Enterprise Architectures (SoEA) and their support systems.

Leading enterprises in the U.S. derive more than 50% of their revenues from services. This applies not only to pure services such as transportation but also for material products that are augmented by services such as maintenance, consulting and training. Through services, enterprises stabilize their revenues. There is no accepted general definition of service, but many definitions contain the idea, that a service is �the application of specialized competences (knowledge and skills) for the benefit of another entity, rather than the production of units of output� . Services are more and more considered as part of a so-called service system. A service system is defined �as a value co-production configuration of people, technology, other internal and external service systems, and shared information (such as language, processes, metrics, prices, policies, and laws)�. Therefore it is no surprise that the term service has also become very popular in enterprise computing. However, the term service may have different meanings in enterprise computing. Three flavours of services can be differentiated: technology services, software-services, and business services. 1. Technology services are more hardware flavoured services which are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing power, storage etc. They are an important topic in management and practice collections such as ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have gained a high popularity. 2. Software services are managed in so-called Service-Oriented-Architectures that are a popular paradigm for creating enterprise software. A service in the context of SOA is a special kind of interface for an encapsulated unit of software. 3. Business services are services which directly support business processes. They may be further differentiated into those visible to the customer and those that are not. Business processes can also be developed dynamically (on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository for a given business domain. In the field of Information Systems and -in a broader sense- Enterprise Computing, the notion of �Enterprise modelling� refers to a collection of conceptual modelling techniques for describing different facets of the organisation including operational (IS), organisational (business processes, actors, flow of information etc), and teleological (purposes) considerations. Existing enterprise modelling frameworks stress the necessity of representing and structuring enterprise knowledge taking into account all these facets in order to develop IS and IT architectures that enterprises need. The contribution of the software systems to the realization of the business processes and consequently to the objectives of the company is of primary importance. A change in one of these facets of the organization implies multiple impacts on the two other facets. In other words, it seems unrealistic to consider an organizational change without any impact on the information system or an evolution of the IS which does not call into question the processes or even the objectives of the organization. An enterprise architecture,,defines the interactions and articulations between business and information technology and their alignment or congruence. A service-oriented enterprise architecture uses services to describe the articulations of business and information technology. It has to identify the business services needed to support the business processes of the enterprise, and to map the business services to technology and software services . Technology and software services are both called IT services in the following. The enterprise computing systems which shall manage Service-oriented Enterprise Architectures have to support the creation, administration and execution of services. Thus, they must be able to store the service definitions and make them available for a consumer in a service catalogue. The same applies to the so-called service-level agreements that define the quality of service agreed upon with consumers. Upon a service request from a consumer entity, the service support system has to monitor the fulfilment of the service-level agreements and also to provide remediation procedures which contain so-called escalation mechanisms. Furthermore, based on the monitoring, improvement procedures shall be established. GOALS: The goal of the workshop is to clarify the relationship between business process management and service provisioning. The objective of this workshop is twofold: (i) To characterise the strong relationship existing between Business Process Management (BPM) and Service oriented Enterprise Architecture (SoEA) (ii) To develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of Service-Oriented Enterprise Architectures (SoEA) and their support systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST: During the workshop we will discuss the following topics: 1. Service engineering - Do we need new paradigms to cope with service engineering? - How are business services discovered, defined, composed, adapted? - How are business services assigned to business processes? - How are technology-services discovered, defined, composed, adapted? - How are technology-services assigned to business services? - Are there design patterns for developing service-oriented systems? - How can the MDA/MDD techniques and methods be applied for engineering SoEA? - Which test methods exist for technology-services? - How are business services and technology-services rolled out? - Which change management procedures have to be applied during the deployment of SoEA? 2. Service management - Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to services? - Which information system architectures are adequate for services? - Which approaches exist for mastering the migration of legacy systems to SoEA? - Which triggers exist and what mechanisms should be applied for escalation? - Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services? - Which evaluation and validation techniques can be applied for SoEA? 3. Alignment with business strategy - Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy? - Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the business strategy? - Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by services? - How are services aligned with compliance requirements? - How are compliance and governance requirements enforced? SUBMISSION: Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) may be submitted to facilitate discussion of recent research results and ongoing projects. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion. All papers published in the EDOC 2009 workshop proceedings must be in the IEEE Computer Society format (http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/ information for authors). It is strongly recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are first submitted to workshops. This gives precise picture of the paper length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted. All papers will be peer reviewed based on the paper. Please submit your paper to Selmin.Nurcan.(a)univ-paris1.fr Proceedings of EDOC 2009 workshops will be published after the conference as ePub by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the IEEE Xplore. There will be one electronic volume containing proceedings from all workshops. At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC 2009 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2009. If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. EXPECTED RESULTS: All papers will be published in the workshop wiki before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other participants. The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. A workshop report will be created collaboratively using the workshop wiki. IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission: May 31, 2009 Author notification: July 12, 2009 Camera-ready: July 24, 2009 PROGRAM COMMITTEE : João Paulo A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: KM&EL Special Issue on E-learning and Knowledge Management in the Early Years Datum: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 09:38:31 -0500 Von: Maggie Minhong Wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Maggie Minhong Wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL) Special Issue on E-learning and Knowledge Management in the Early Years Guest Editors Hui Li, University of Hong Kong Jennifer Masters, La Trobe University E-learning and knowledge management are not passing fads but are increasingly accepted as established practices in the field of early childhood education. Very serious thought and practices have emerged to innovate and invest in early years learning since the turn of the new millennium. Knowledge is now widely regarded as a social and co-constructible phenomenon and a young child is no longer a passive receiver. Young children living in the age of Web 2.0 can learn through experience, application, and conversation in community, physically or virtually, with peers, parents, teachers and other adults, beyond the classroom and across the media. These concepts are, in fact, of burgeoning interest in communities of practice and knowledge networks. Although most early childhood educators recognize and practice some kinds of e-learning, most have failed to master the basic theory and practice of knowledge management. What does e-learning mean for early years contexts all over the world? How does an early childhood educator understand about knowledge management? How could early years learning be dramatically enhanced by knowledge management and e-learning? What are the remarkable achievements regarding knowledge management and e-learning in the sector of early childhood education? Are there any patterns and what are their implications? All these questions are not only interesting but also inspiring and therefore a special issue such as this one will be beneficial to take stock of the ongoing practices in the field. For the first time, knowledge management and e-learning is put together with early childhood education in this special issue. It is expected that the integration will be an emerging topic in the field and this special issue will provide an ideal arena for the discussion and dissemination of this topic and related studies. Letter of Intent Scholars are invited to submit a letter of intent with a title and a 500-word abstract of the manuscript they wish to submit. The submission deadline for the letter of intent is May 1, 2009. Please email your letter of intent to Dr. Hui Li (huili(a)hkucc.hku.hk) at the University of Hong Kong or Dr. Jenny Masters (j.masters(a)latrobe.edu.au) at the La Trobe University, the Co-Guest Editors of this special issue. These letters of intent will be reviewed by the guest editors and potential contributors will be invited to submit completed manuscripts. Submissions will follow the journal�s regular blind review process. The Special Issue Guest Editors and Journal Editor will make final acceptance decisions. Manuscripts submitted must strictly conform to the formatting and writing style requirements of APA Publication Manual (5th edition) (www.apa.org.). Any inquiries regarding this special issue should be directed to Dr. Hui Li (huili(a)hkucc.hku.hk) or Dr. Jenny Masters (j.masters(a)latrobe.edu.au).

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP: FP-UML'09. 5th International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML]
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: FP-UML'09. 5th International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML Datum: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 08:11:54 -0500 Von: Juan Trujillo <jtrujillo(a)dlsi.ua.es> Antwort an: Juan Trujillo <jtrujillo(a)dlsi.ua.es> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Second Call for Papers 5thd International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML (FP-UML 2009) http://gplsi.dlsi.ua.es/congresos/fpuml09 In conjunction with ER2009 (The 28th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling) Gramado, Brasil, November 9-12, 2009. Conference Web Site: http://inf.ufrgs.br/ER2009/ Introduction ------------ The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been widely accepted as the standard object-oriented (OO) modeling language for modeling various aspects of software and information systems. The UML is an extensible language, in the sense that it provides mechanisms to introduce new elements for specific domains if necessary, such as web applications, database applications, business modeling, software development processes, data warehouses. Furthermore, the latest version of UML 2.0 got even bigger and more complicated with more diagrams for some good reasons. Although UML provides different diagrams for modeling different aspects of a software system, not all of them need to be applied in most cases. Therefore, heuristics, design guidelines, lessons learned from experiences are extremely important for the effective use of UML 2.0 and to avoid unnecessary complication. Also, approaches are needed to better manage UML 2.0 and its extensions so they do not become too complex too manage in the end. Already, the many UML extensions are not well integrated and the UML 2.0 metamodel has become very complex. The Fifth International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML (FP-UML'09) intends to be a sequel to the successful BP-UML'05, BP-UML'06, FP-UML'07, and FP-UML'08 workshops held in conjunction with the ER'05, ER'06, ER'07, and ER'08, respectively. FP-UML'09 intends to be an international forum for exchanging ideas on the best and new practices of the UML in modeling and system developments. Papers focused on the application on the UML in new domains and new experiences with UML 2.0, and foundations, theory, and UML 2.0 extensions are also highly encouraged. As UML 2.0 is oriented towards the software design driven by models, papers applying the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) or the Model Driven Engineering (MDE) to specific domains are also highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers, analyzers, designers, and users who use the UML to develop systems and software. Target audiences and the scope ------------------------------ The scope of the workshop includes but is not limited to: - Sub/system design and modeling techniques - Unified Modeling Language: What are the next steps? - UML semantics - Requirement modeling - Process modeling - Interface design - Application design - Database and data warehouse design & applications - Web applications - Model evaluation, formal or heuristics - Metamodeling - Applications to new domains and technologies - Experience reports of UML modeling - Agile modeling - Adopting UML - Teaching UML - UML 2.0 diagrams - Applying, teaching or modeling the UML 2.0 - Model-driven development methodologies and approaches. - Model transformations - Metamodel transformations - Risks and applications of best practices Workshop Chairs --------------- Juan Trujillo LUCENTIA Research Group Dept. of Language and Information Systems University of Alicante, Spain Email: jtrujillo(a)dlsi.ua.es Dae-Kyoo Kim Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Oakland University, USA Email: kim2(a)oakland.edu Steering Committee ------------------ Juan Trujillo (University of Alicante, Spain) Il-Yeol Song (Drexel University, USA) Jeffrey Parsons (Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada) Andreas L.

September 2009 - Villach, Austria* *First Special Track on /Computer-based Knowledge & Skill Assessment and Feedback in Learning Settings (CAF)/* Online Information: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2009 <http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008> This CfP is also available as PDF: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2009/CAF2009-CfP.pdf <http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008/CAF2008-CfP.pdf> This special track will take place during ICL 2008 in Villach, Austria (23-25 September 2009) as a special program item. /The Special Track CAF 2009/ provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of computer-based knowledge & skill assessment in learning settings and based on that feedback provision for students and teachers. The /International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL)/ is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in interactive computer aided learning. *Background* Our modern life at the beginning of the 21st century is strongly influenced by effects such as rapidly changing and developing information, technology-enhanced communication and information access, and new forms of production and services in a globalized world. This situation requires individuals to adapt their skills and competencies. Consequently, educational objectives and societal expectations have changed significantly in recent years. Modern learning settings must consider learning community aspects as well as learner-centered, knowledge-centered and assessment-centered aspects. By focusing on the assessment, this concept can be further distinguished in (1) summative assessment, performed at the end of a set of learning activities, and (2) formative assessment, which is intended to give continuous feedback to students and teachers. The latter mentioned formative assessment gives information about the current state of knowledge and/or the degree of knowledge acquisition within learning activities. Assessment is an important component of modern teaching and learning processes in face-to-face courses as well as in e-learning environments; it provides valuable feedback to teachers and students which allows the revision and adaptation of teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, assessment activities and results can also be utilized for building and strengthening metacognitive skills. However, continuous and frequent assessment in learning processes may cause excessive efforts and costs. Therefore, computer-assisted assessment systems (CaAS) and computer-based assessment systems (CbAS) have become of increasing interest over the years. Assessment systems may support parts or the entire chain of the assessment lifecycle. This lifecycle includes authoring and management of assessment items, compilation of specific tests, performance of assessments, and compilation and management results. Additionally, emerging interest in the sharing and re-use of assessment items or compiled assessment tests and the exchangeability of assessment outcomes has resulted in standardization efforts, such as the IMS Question & Test Interoperability Specification (IMS QTI). The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organisations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. We invite submissions that deal with issues including, but not limited to: * Aspects of formative and summative assessment * History and challenges of e-assessment * Computer-supported assessment rubric * Computer-based knowledge & skill assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported peer assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported self-assessment and group assessment * Computer-based student and teacher feedback about knowledge state and acquisition * Computer-based assessment in adaptive e-learning * Web 2.0 and assessment & feedback for individual and group learning * Automated essay grading * Natural short answer assessment * Assessment and feedback in computer-based simulations * Assessment and feedback in game-based learning settings * Test & training data and evaluation procedures * Reuse, Interoperability and Standardization * Security and Privacy *Important Dates* * 21 June 2009: Submission of the full papers (8 pages) * 31 July 2009: Notification of acceptance * 31 Aug. 2009: Camera ready version (8 pages) * 23.-25.

This issue includes three articles, one interview, and one book review. In the digital age of today, we are concerned with many security and privacy issues. As this digital age continues to affect our daily personal, financial, and corporate activities; confidentiality, usability and safeguarding our information play an ever increasing role in our everyday lives. The concern for privacy and security will continue to be a topic of many discussions from data security, to the risks of cyber crime, to the development of electronic voting systems that can assure voters privacy and security. In this issue, each article discusses privacy and security related concerns from different perspectives. The first paper titled "Consumer's PCs: A Study of Hard Drive Forensics, Data Recovery, and Exploitation" by B. Dawn Medlin, Joseph A. Cazier, and Robert M. Weaver discusses the existing issues of unsecured data in disposed hard drives and the security risks implied when the process of erasure of data is not completed successfully. The authors describe how traces of personal information such as names, social security numbers, pin numbers/passwords, and personal address as well as potentially embarrassing information can expose an individual to the devastating effects of violations and other security risks. The authors expose the types of information that may still be found and, in some cases, recovered from disposed hard disk drives, explain the risks involved, and provide recommendations how to protect sensitive data. The second paper titled "Prime III: Defense-in-Depth Approach to Electronic Voting" by Juan E. Gilbert, Jonathan MacDonald, Raquel Hill, Derek T. Sanders, Idongesit Mkpong-Ruffin, E. Vincent Cross, II, Ken Rouse, Jerome McClendon, and Gregory Rogers, reviews the technical and security issues surrounding the Prime III electronic voting system in order to propose a solution, based on existing information security research. The study starts with an introduction to the Prime III electronic voting system, outlining the system's architecture to further discuss the electronic voting risk assessment, and then identify four classes of electoral threats: Disclosure, Deception, Disruption, and Usurpation. To prevent these risks and increase voter trust, the authors suggest the use of a software independent system, where the voter-verified video audit trail and encryption technology were implemented to ensure voter privacy and security. The third paper titled "The Role of Emotions in Shaping Consumers' Privacy Beliefs about Unfamiliar Online Vendors" by Han Li, Rathindra Sarathy, and Jie Zhang, extends the investigations within the privacy of information in the electronic field. Using the Theory of Reasoned Action, the authors attempt to explain the perceived privacy beliefs (privacy protection) from a vendor's point of view, in the specific case where the user is unfamiliar with the vendor site. This belief is generated as an emotional response of the customer's interaction with the given vendor's web-page, stating that both the beliefs and the emotions together can have an influential impact on the customer's decision to make a purchase. The authors then suggest that online vendors should increase their attention toward customer emotion when interacting with their web-site, especially when it is a first time interaction. In the Expert Opinion section, Andrew Colarik, Information Security Consultant, Speaker, Author and Inventor, describes the relationship between the concepts of security and privacy. The security matrix demonstrating four factors involving privacy and security issues is presented and discussed. He then provides his opinion on the future direction for privacy issue. In the Book Review section, Choton Basu reviews the book entitled Born Digital - Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives by John Palfrey and Urs Gasser. Basu highly recommended this book for teachers and parents. In his opinion, this is an excellent, must-read book. He also states that although the book does not present a detailed look at the Born Digital phenomena, it certainly covers every relevant facet.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] The contents of the latest issue of:IJISSCM 2(2) Datum: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 12:19:56 -0500 Von: John Wang <j.john.wang(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: John Wang <j.john.wang(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management (IJISSCM) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 2, Issue 2, April-June 2009 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1935-5726 EISSN: 1935-5734 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijisscm GUEST EDITORAL PREFACE Collaborative Supply Chain Management Jairo R. Montoya-Torres, Universidad de La Sabana, Colombia Globalization and the advances in the development of new technologies have a deep impact on the development and the positioning of companies on international marketplaces. In addition, customers are more demanding in term of quality, lead time, and order fulfillment. Firms must anticipate customers� requests and adapt to market changes. This quest for flexibility and reactivity affects the conception and the management of firms and more generally their logistic systems and contributes to the development of partnership relations, to the emergence of mergers or strategic alliances between companies. The purpose of this special issue on collaborative supply chain management is to publish selected research articles from academicians and practitioners that examine the aspects related with internal and external logistics and operations management within a collaborative context. To read the guest editor preface, please consult this issue of IJISSCM in your institution�s library. PAPER ONE Analyzing the Impact of Coordinated Decisions within a Three-Echelon Supply Chain Mauricio Núñez-Muñoz, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colombia Jairo R. Montoya-Torres, Universidad de La Sabana, Colombia Supply chain performance is highly influenced by the coordination level between its members. In this article, the authors consider a three-echelon direct sell supply chain model and focus on the problem of coordinated decision-making between its members. The authors present an approach that measures the impact of the degree of coordination between the members. Using a geometric brownian process, demand behavior is modeled. Simulation models are run in order to analyze various cooperation scenarios.

This paper focuses on the interest of multi-agent paradigms for the collaborative coordination in global distribution supply chains. Multi-agent computational environments are suitable for a broad class of coordination and negotiation issues involving multiple autonomous or semiautonomous problem solving contexts. The authors propose an agent-based distributed architecture to better the management of rush unexpected orders and presents a first architecture validated by a real and industrial case.

In the studied situation, one company or supplier, supplies one product to the other company, who is a retailer. The companies coordinate by two types of decisions: economic (concerning prices fixed on a contract) and physical exchange (concerning the inventory to be held). Two types of contracts are presented: one contract with a simple pricing scheme and two contracts with inventory holding cost shared among the companies of the supply chain.

Montoya-Torres, Universidad de La Sabana, Colombia Nowadays, implementing collaboration strategies between the members of the supply chain have to obtain a more reactive and flexible supply chain in highly competitive markets have been an important research topic. However, few studies have been done on the impact of such collaboration strategies at one of the lower short-term decision levels: production scheduling. This article is devoted to the study of information sharing between the members of a supply chain in a dynamic context. The authors consider a typical made-to-order direct sell supply chain without finished products inventory, similar to the one implemented by Internet PC sellers. This article compares various scheduling algorithms implemented to study different scenarios of information sharing among the members of the chain. The authors consider scenarios where no information is shared and scenarios where some or all information is shared. The authors develop a simulation study in order obtain insights about the impact of information sharing on the performance of the chain.

The production, distribution, and supply must be adequately synchronized in order to satisfy the customer needs and at the same time optimize operational costs. This article presents a multi-product, multi-echelon inventory system, which comprises one manufacturer, a number of distribution centers, and a number of retailers. The near-optimal order quantities for each of the supply chain agents are calculated with a mathematical model. The authors generate and test a number of instances.
