-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers - MESPUL 2009 Datum: Mon, 4 May 2009 06:51:54 -0400 Von: Muhammad Ali Babar <muhammad.alibabar(a)lero.ie> Antwort an: Muhammad Ali Babar <muhammad.alibabar(a)lero.ie> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers The Third International Workshop on Management and Economics of Software Product Lines (MESPUL09) !!!!The Workshop on Value-Base Product Line Engineering!!!! is part of the 12th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2009) San Francisco, USA (The workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, 25 August 2009) Product line engineering (PLE) has become a viable and important software development paradigm. Many companies adopted a product line engineering approach to improve the efficiency of their development processes, to increase the quality of end products, and reduce time-to-market and cost. Researchers and practitioners have proposed several methods, techniques, and tools to support the technical aspects of software product line engineering. Research has also been reported on different mechanics of calculating ROI, understanding Cost-Benefits, and critical factors in adopting software product lines. However, the body of knowledge on management and economics aspects of software product lines is still very small. Adoption and management of software product lines is often said to require a significant initial investment to successfully maximize the business value. Further, managing a product line project is far more complex and difficult because of the inter-related structure between core assets and products, multiple deadlines, resource allocation, etc. Software product line practitioners need new approaches, models, and tools for addressing the challenges related to the management and economics of software product lines. There is also a significant need for gathering more empirical evidence regarding the different approaches of PLE. The international workshop on management and economics of software product lines aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to report and discuss the challenges and opportunities of adopting and managing software product lines from managerial, organizational, and economics point of view. The workshop will provide a forum to present ideas about existing management and organizational strategies and economic models for software product lines and/or propose new approaches, techniques, and tools for business and technical managers to maximize the business value of software product line engineering. The workshop will cover a broad spectrum of research papers, experience reports, and position papers relevant to the economic, management, and organizational aspects of software product line engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: � Models for cost-benefit analysis � Economic models applicable to software product line engineering � Managerial strategies for successful software product line engineering � Product line strategy definition and scoping � Application of value-based approaches to software product line engineering. � Cost-benefits tradeoffs in technical aspects (e.g., architecture definition) � Management, organizational, and business strategies for adopting software product lines � Mechanics of calculating ROI for software product line engineering � Risks and economic benefits of using Open Source Software in SPLs � Cost and effort estimation models for developing core and product specific artifacts � Opportunities and Challenges in using agile approaches for software product lines � Empirical studies of product line engineering benefits � New approaches to the empirical analysis of product line engineering Submission Guidelines: Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submitted papers must conform to the IEEE format (2-columns, 10pt, 8.5"x11") and may not exceed ten pages (incl. all text, figures, references, and appendices).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP ACIS 2009 Correction of due date Datum: Sun, 3 May 2009 20:21:36 -0400 Von: Helana Scheepers <helana.scheepers(a)sims.monash.edu.au> Antwort an: Helana Scheepers <helana.scheepers(a)sims.monash.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers ACIS 2009 Paper submissions due: July 3, 2009 Panel, Workshop & Tutorial Proposals due: August 1, 2009 The Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS) is the premier conference in Australasia for Information Systems academics, covering technical, organisational, business and social issues in the application of Information Technology (IT) to real world problems. In 2009, the 20th ACIS will be held at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, December 2-4. It is hosted by the Faculty of Information Technology of Monash University, Melbourne. Conference Theme: Since the inception of the IS discipline scholars have questioned and debated what constitutes the domain of IS research. The pervasive use of information technology not just for work purposes but for everyday life, and the recent downturn in student numbers, have made the question of the domain of IS more than just of academic interest. For ACIS for 2009 we seek not to look back at what the IS domain has been, but to look forward to what it is to become. We seek to examine the definition of the IS discipline not by reflecting on where the IS discipline came from, but by exhibiting research at the forefront of where the discipline is heading into the future. The conference theme for 2009 is: Evolving Boundaries and New Frontiers: Defining the IS Discipline We therefore invite submissions from colleagues in academia and industry across Australia, New Zealand, the Asia-Pacific and beyond to address this theme. Paper tracks include: 1. New Frontiers and Evolving Boundaries 2. The Business of Information Systems: Managing Projects and Investments 3. Cognitive and behavioural perspectives on information systems 4. Design Science and Modelling for Information Systems Development 5. Information Systems: Strategy and Management 6. IT enabled collaboration: organisations, communities and society 7. Information Systems Theory and Philosophy 8. Information Systems Challenges: Panels and Debates 9. IS Pedagogy: Panels, Workshops, Tutorials and Cases Submissions are also invited on any topics relevant to information systems and are not limited to the tracks above. Important Dates: Deadline for Paper Submissions: July 3, 2009 Panel, Workshop & Tutorial Proposals: August 3, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: September 7, 2009 Camera-ready Copy: September 28, 2009 Early Bird Registration closes: October 20, 2009 ACIS2009 Conference: December 2-4, 2009 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

Forgionne, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, USA Special Issue: Decision-Making Technologies GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE IJDSST 1(2) Manuel Mora, Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, México Miroljub Kljajic, University of Maribor, Slovenia Ovsei Gelman, CCADET, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México In this special issue, the guest editors are pleased to present five innovative, relevant, and theoretically robust peer-reviewed studies where critical decision-making situations are addressed through the application, adaptation, and new proposal of a systems approach. This special issue on Decision-Making Technologies: A Systems Approach covers the effects of managerial and technical decisions (planned or unexpected changes) on several IS development effort metrics, presents an innovative procedure to classify catastrophic scenarios (man-made and natural) by similarity indices, and discusses the design, implementation, and exploratory empirical testing of architecture for a spatial decision support systems. This issue also focuses on the design and managerial implications on complex large-scale systems of systems and provides evidence on the suitability for designing system solutions to complex technical-economical engineering problems by using three systems engineering methods. To read the guest editor preface, please consult this issue of IJDSST in your library. PAPER ONE Dynamics in IS Development: A Multi-Method Experiment to Measure the Effects of Disruptions during the Development Process Peter Otto, Union Graduate College, USA Salvatore Belardo, University at Albany, USA The failure of many IS development efforts suggests that the development process, in particular the role that key antecedents play in ensuring success, is poorly understood. Information systems are based on a series of highly complex interrelated tasks that can be significantly affected by organizational, project, and technical drivers. Changes or disruptions in these can have severe and unanticipated consequences for IS development efforts. To help understand how disruptions during the IS development initiative affect the quality of the system, the authors employ the system dynamics methodology to capture feedback from non-linear activities.

Ávila, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico David Esparza, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico Augusto D. Hernández, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico Ivonne Rivera, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico This article presents a system to enable access to those information systems at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) that are related to biodiversity and the environment. The system in question associates existing geographic information systems (GISs) and standard relational databases in a federation that allows the contents of the individual GIS (or relational databases) to be consulted in a manner transparent to the user and permits the exports of the underlying systems data under the corresponding set of permissions. The authors present an approach based upon three principles: compliance with international standards, reliance upon open source software in implementation, and usage of servers of proven reliability and robustness.

Farr, Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Generally, throughout history societies have failed to prepare beforehand for potential man made and natural catastrophic events; however, as societies evolve, their view on what can and should be done when affected by these types of events has shifted from a passive acknowledgement that catastrophes will happen, into a proactive stance on planning and organizing resources to mitigate their effects. This paper presents a decision-making based approach for catastrophic scenario selections to guide the process of disaster recovery planning development. The approach proposed is used to identify the most damaging scenarios in terms of probability of outcome occurrence.

Sussman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA Standard systems engineering processes, such as the ANSI/EIA 632 or the ISO/IEC 15288 process standards, are primarily geared towards systems with homogenous stakeholders and few tightly coupled non-linear interactions within and between physical subsystems. This paper presents a 12-step framework for concurrent analysis, design, and management of coupled complex technological and institutional systems in the face of uncertainty. The framework is used to analyze a CLIOS systems underlying structure and behavior, to explore different design options in the face of uncertainty, and to identify and deploy strategic alternatives for improving the systems performance.

Linebarger, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Mark J. De Spain, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Michael J. McDonald, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Floyd W. Spencer, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Robert J. Cloutier, Stevens Institute of Technology, USA The design for tractable analysis (DTA) framework was developed to address the analysis of complex systems and so-called wicked problems. DTA is distinctive because it treats analytic processes as key artifacts that can be created and improved through formal design processes. Systems (or enterprises) are analyzed as a whole, in conjunction with decomposing them into constituent elements for domain-specific analyses that are informed by the whole. After using the systems modeling language (SysML) to frame the problem in the context of stakeholder needs, DTA harnesses the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) to structure the analysis of the system and address questions about the emergent properties of the system. The use of DTA is demonstrated by a case study of sensor grid placement decisions to secure assets at a fixed site.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers: Special Edition of the Journal of Organizational and End User Computing Security, Privacy, and Risks Issues in Health Care: An Information Assurance Perspective Datum: Fri, 01 May 2009 20:43:00 -0600 Von: trimkenn(a)isu.edu Antwort an: trimkenn(a)isu.edu An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Colleagues, Call for Papers Special Edition of the Journal of Organizational and End User Computing Security, Privacy, and Risks Issues in Health Care: An Information Assurance Perspective The Journal of Organizational and End User Computing is seeking original research focused on organizational and end user security, privacy, and risk issues. Researchers are encouraged to use the Information Assurance (IA) framework as presented by McCumber (1991) and extended by Machonachy, Schou, Ragsdale, and Welch (2001). IA representations using these frameworks provide researchers with numerous perspectives in which to evaluate security, privacy, and risk. Focusing on three broad concepts, Information Goal, States, and Safeguards, the IA representations illustrate the intersection of the three concepts within the following broader dimensions. Goals of the Information System: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Authentication, and Non-Repudiation; Information States, Data storage, Data transmission, and Data processing; and Safeguards: Technology, Policy and Procedures, and Human Factors. In addition to the concepts and corresponding dimensions, IA also considers the System Life Cycle dimensions of Initiation, Operations, and Termination of the system. We welcome theoretical and empirical research that incorporate security, privacy, and risk in health care environments. Topics ranging from human computer interfaces, personal health records, confidentiality, and health maintenance are a few examples of end user oriented health care inquiries. In addition to end user oriented issues, organizational issues include risk mitigation, particularly in HIPAA or other regulatory environments. IA also provides a framework to minimize risk via Governance, including research related to compliance, disaster recovery, and organizational continuity. Please note that the manuscripts accepted into the 43rd Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences Minitrack on Information Assurance and Interoperability in Health Care within the Health Care in the Information Technology in Health Care Track (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_43/minitracks/hc-iai.htm) will be fast tracked for acceptance into this special edition. Submission Deadline: December 1, 2009 First Round of Reviews: February 1, 2010 Final round of Reviews: June 1, 2010 Acceptance: July 1, 2010 Guest Editors: Dr. Corey Schou, schou(a)isu.edu Dr. Kevin Parker, parkerkr.isu.edu Dr. Ken Trimmer, trimkenn(a)isu.edu All at Idaho State University Associate Guest Editors: Dr. Julie Ryan, George Washington University Dr. Leigh Armistead, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia Dr. William Caelli, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia Dr. James Frost, Idaho State University Dr. Daniel Ryan, National Defense University Dr. William (Vic) Maconachy, Capitol College Dr. Mark Gaynor, Boston University The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
