[Fwd: [isworld] STEG09: Deadline extension to June 15, 2009]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] STEG09: Deadline extension to June 15, 2009 Datum: Mon, 25 May 2009 15:43:36 -0400 Von: Ralf Klamma <klamma(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Antwort an: Ralf Klamma <klamma(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> **** DEADLINE EXTENSION TO 15 JUNE 2009 **** Second International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games (STEG'09) http://www.prolearn-academy.org/Events/steg09 CALL FOR PAPERS The Second Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Gaming (STEG'09) will be held in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Web-based Learning (ICWL'09, http://www.hkws.org/events/icwl2009/), Aachen, Germany, August 19-21, 2009. CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION The Second Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Gaming (STEG'09) will be a continuative event to bring together international researchers from the story-telling and educational gaming research areas, based on the success of the First STEG Workshop (STEG'08). STEG'08 was held as a one-day event triggering fruitful discussions and reporting advanced research progress in this area. More information about STEG'08 can be found at http://www.prolearn-academy.org/Events/steg08. The paper winning the "best paper award" will be published in the International Journal on Technology Enhanced Learning (IJTEL). STEG'09 aims to reinforce the international community and to explore advanced research in this research domain.. Stories and story-telling are cultural achievements of significant relevance even in modern times. Nowadays, story-telling is being enhanced with the convergence of sociology, pedagogy, and technology. In recent years, computer gaming has also been deployed for educational purposes and has proved to be an effective approach to mental stimulation and intelligence development. Many conceptual similarities and some procedural correlation exist between story-telling and educational gaming. Therefore these two areas can be clubbed for research on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). Many facets of story-telling and educational gaming emulate real life processes, which can be represented either as complex story graphs or as interleaved sub-problems. This model is congruent with that used for Technology Enhanced Learning in vocational training. TEL in vocational training requires learning models that focus more on the process and less on the content. The main difference between educational games and story-telling lies in the user�s motivational point of view. Story-telling aims at reliving real life tasks and capturing previous experiences in problem-solving for reuse, while educational games reproduce real life tasks in a virtual world in an (ideally) engaging and attractive process. Nevertheless, educational games require highly specialized technical and pedagogical skills and learning processes to cover the topics in sufficient depth and breadth. Imbalance between depth and breadth of study can lead to producing trivial games, which in turn can lead to de-motivating the learner. While the integration of learning and gaming provides a great opportunity, several motivational challenges (particularly in vocational training) must also be addressed to ensure successful realization. Non-linear digital stories are an ideal starting point for the creation of educational games, since each story addresses a certain problem, so that the story recipient can gain benefit from other users� experiences. This leads to the development of more realistic stories, which can provide the kernel for developing non-trivial educational videogames as a further step. These stories can cover the instructional portion of an educational game, while the game would add the motivation and engagement part. In summary, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers, experts and practitioners from the domains of non-linear digital interactive story-telling and educational gaming to share ideas and knowledge. There is a great amount of separate research in these two fields and the celebration of this workshop will allow the participants to discover and leverage potential synergies. Workshop topics - Story-telling and game theories - Story and game design paradigms for Web-based Learning - Augmented story-telling and gaming - Story-telling and educational gaming with social software - Story-telling and educational gaming with mobile technologies - Cross-media/transmedia story-telling and gaming - Computer gaming for story-telling (Game design for narrative architectures) - Multimedia story and game authoring - Story-telling and educational gaming applications SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research as full papers (max. 10 pages) or work-in-progress as short papers (max. 5 pages). All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by three members of the program committee for originality, significance, clarity and quality.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Special Issue on Service Oriented Applications and Integration for e-Commerce Datum: Mon, 25 May 2009 18:31:42 -0400 (CLT) Von: eCommerce List <eCommerce_List(a)noresponse.cl> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at, neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Call for Papers: Special Issue on Service Oriented Applications and Integration for e-Commerce <http://www.jtaer.com/documentos/CFP_service_oriented_applications_and_integ…> Guest Editors: Yinsheng Li (Fudan University, China); Wei-Tek Tsai (Arizona State University, USA); Yueting Chai (Tsinghua University, China) Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm that exploits both web services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) as fundamental elements for developing software systems. This paradigm changes the way software systems are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. With the availability of open standards, to overcome cross-platform barriers, and facilities to support service construction, SOA and Web services are being adopted by industries to make business services perform more efficiently and effectively. They contribute to the shaping of the processes of business modeling , solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture design, development and deployment. However, the applications and methods of SOA have not been fully exploited. The Special issue on Service Oriented Applications and Integration for e-Commerce (SOAIEC) will be devoted to the integration and collaboration technologies and best practices on SOA. The mission is to bridge the gap between business and information technology using service-oriented paradigms, technologies and approaches. The topics will include: � Architectures and frameworks for SOA � Service or service-oriented system modeling � Service-oriented integration methods and technologies � Service-oriented collaboration models and techniques � Engineering platforms or tools for SOA � Delivery or management platforms or tools for SOA � Security, QoS, Trust with SOC or SOA � Best practices or case study for SOA � Techniques and tools for SAAS (Software A s a Service). Submission: Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in the aforementioned areas. Manuscripts should conform to the journal format (see http://www.jtaer.com <http://www.jtaer.com/>). All submissions will be reviewed according to the journal peer-review policy.

23 May '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: IWSECO 2009 - Software Ecosystems Datum: Fri, 22 May 2009 19:45:32 -0400 Von: Slinger Jansen <slinger(a)cs.uu.nl> Antwort an: Slinger Jansen <slinger(a)cs.uu.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SOFTWARE ECOSYSTEMS (IWSECO'09) Collaboration, competition, partnership and reuse September 27, 2009, in Falls Church, Virginia, USA http://www.softwareecosystems.org/workshop/ in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR'09) http://icsr11.isase.org/ September 27 - 30, 2009, Falls Church, Virginia, USA * WORKSHOP THEME * Software vendors no longer function as independent units, where all customers are end-users, where there are no suppliers, and where all software is built in-house. Instead, software vendors have become networked, i.e., software vendors are depending on (communities of) service and software component suppliers, value-added-resellers, and pro-active customers who build and share customizations. Software vendors now have to consider their strategic role in the software ecosystem to survive. With their role in the software ecosystem in mind, software vendors can become more successful by opening up their business, devising new business models, forging long-lasting relationships with partnership networks, and overcoming technical and social challenges that are part of these innovations. A software ecosystem is a set of actors functioning as a unit and interacting with a shared market for software and services, together with the relationships among them. These relationships are frequently underpinned by a common technological platform or market and operate through the exchange of information, resources and artifacts. Several challenges lie in the research area of software ecosystems. To begin with, insightful and scalable modeling techniques for software ecosystems currently do not exist. Furthermore, methods are required that enable software vendors to transform their legacy architectures to accommodate reusability of internal common artifacts and external components and services. Finally, methods are required that support software vendors in choosing survival strategies in software ecosystems. We welcome papers that specifically address these topics. The Workshop on Software Ecosystems aims to further increase the body of knowledge in this specific area of software reuse and software engineering by providing a forum to exchange ideas and discuss state-of-the-art results. It will build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts. Given the relevance of software ecosystems, and the rather unexplored scientific and industry contribution in this field, the workshop will deliver a state-of-the-practice overview of the available knowledge on software ecosystems, as well as an overview of challenges for further research. * RELEVANT TOPICS * Software ecosystem modeling Software ecosystem practices and experience Formal modeling of business models Software business models Product software and software licensing Communities of practice and software reuse Economic impact of software ecosystems Software ecosystem creation Keystone and niche player survival strategy Architectural implications of reusability API development Publishing APIs API compatibility over subsequent releases Software product management Software product lines Software development communities Software ecosystem orchestration Market-specific domain engineering Open source software ecosystems Virtualized software enterprises * PROCEEDINGS * The proceedings of the conference will be published by LNCS. We are in search of a scientific journal for publishing of extended versions of the best papers. * PAPER PREPARATION, SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION * We welcome both research and industry papers to IWSECO. Submissions should conform to the LNCS format, and are limited to 15 pages in length, in English. They must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers for the IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) Datum: Sat, 23 May 2009 02:29:48 -0400 Von: Althea Liang <althealiang(a)smu.edu.sg> Antwort an: Althea Liang <althealiang(a)smu.edu.sg> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Apologies for cross-postings. == Subject: Call for Papers for the IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) September 21-25, 2009, Bangalore, India http://www.thecloudcomputing.org/2009/2 Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer Society. 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing is the identified hot-topic conference of the IEEE 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009). CLOUD-II 2009 will be co-located with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009). The theme of the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) is �Change We Can Lead�. Cloud Computing has become a scalable services delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualizations of hardware and software. The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. The resource sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g. hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g. Application as a Service, UML modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g. business process as a service). In the fast growing Services Computing community, we have launched a series of events to promote and grow Cloud Computing in the past years. In 2002, we promoted Business Grid to share business processes and applications. In early 2008, The IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) has adopted Cloud Computing to be included in the taxonomy as a body of knowledge area of Services Computing. In July 2008, the IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2008) has delivered a keynote panel �Business Cloud: Bridging The Power of SOA and Cloud Computing� and a keynote �Cloud Computing�. In September 2008, the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2008) has delivered a keynote �Web Services: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Communication, and Beyond� and a panel "Cloud Computing and IT as a Service: Opportunities and Challenges" to further motivate the community members to define Cloud Computing in various areas. Based on the technology foundations and industry driving forces, the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2009) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud Computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Cloud Computing. CLOUD 2009 is the HOT-TOPIC conference highlighted in the 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009), which is jointly sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC) and Services Society. CLOUD-II 2009 will be co-located with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009). To discuss this emerging enabling technology of the modern services industry, CLOUD-II 2009 invites you to join the seventh year�s gathering that explores "Services" Science and Technology in the field of Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default discipline in the modern services industry. CLOUD-II 2009 tries to attract researchers, practitioners, and industry business leaders in all the following areas to help define and shape cloud computing, and its related modernization strategy and directions of the services industry. You are invited to submit research, engineering, and business innovation papers to the following areas: * Infrastructure Cloud * Software Cloud * Application Cloud * Business Cloud * Service-Oriented Architecture in Cloud Computing * Vituralization of Hardware Resources * Virtualization of Software Resources * Cloud Computing Consulting Methods * Design Tool for Cloud Computing * Maintenance and Management of Cloud Computing * Cloud Computing Architecture * Cloud Applications in Vertical Industries In addition, CLOUD-II 2009 organizes cloud computing related keynote sessions, panel discussions, paper presentations, paper posters, innovation show cases, Services University (Fall School), workshops, and tutorials. CLOUD-II 2009 also invites you to submit papers to participate the following key events: Tutorial Proposal Submission for CLOUD-II 2009 and SERVICES 2009 (Part II) Final Proposal Submission Deadline: June 1, 2009 Maximum Length: 2 pages - abstract and speaker short bio(s) in one PDF file.
