-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) Datum: Thu, 21 May 2009 01:51:14 -0400 Von: Arthur Tatnall <arthur.tatnall(a)vu.edu.au> Antwort an: Arthur Tatnall <arthur.tatnall(a)vu.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) aims to provide a forum for both general discussion of actor-network theory (ANT), and examples of its use in offering explanations for socio-technical phenomena, particularly those related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It is over twenty years now since Latour, Callon and Law put together their ideas and concepts in the first papers on ANT, but for some time ANT was regarded by many as little more than a curiosity. In recent years however, the ICT research community has begun to discover the power of using ANT as an explanatory framework for many of the things in which it is interested. Implementation and use of information and communication technologies inevitably involves the interactions of both technology and people, and this is the area in which ANT is particularly useful. The main goal of this journal will be to facilitate international growth in the body of research investigating the value of using actor-network theory as a means of understanding socio-technical phenomena and technological innovation. Another goal will be to consider other approaches to theorizing technological innovation, especially by comparison with ANT�s innovation translation. This journal will cover a range of topics related to actor-network theory (ANT). These topics will include the development of actor-network theory itself, as well as case studies of its use to assist in the explanation of various socio-technical phenomena. It will also include topics relating to technological innovation; both those using actor-network theory as an explanatory framework and those using other approaches. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: � Analytical case studies of the use of ANT to investigate the implementation and use of Information and Communication Technologies. � Analytical case studies of the use of ANT for investigating technological applications in various other areas. � Descriptions of ANT research methods, and the conduct of ANT research. � Development, evaluations, criticisms and triumphs of ANT. � Proposals of analytical frameworks that build on, and go beyond ANT. � Innovation Translation as an approach to explaining Technological Innovation. � Other approaches to the explanation of Technological Innovation, including: Innovation Diffusion, the Technology Acceptance Model, and Ecological Models of Innovation. � Comparison of the various different approaches to framing Technological Innovation. � Case studies, involving ANT or other analytical frameworks, of Technological Innovation and the implementation and use of information and communication technologies. � Use of ANT in the investigation of historical examples of Technological Innovation. � Other papers relating to examples of Technological Innovation. www.igi-global.com/IJANTTI All inquiries and submissions should be should be directed to the attention of: Dr Arthur Tatnall, Editor-in-Chief: Arthur.Tatnall(a)vu.edu.au The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP Workshop on Service oriented EA for Enterprise Engineering (EDOC'09) Datum: Fri, 8 May 2009 14:41:55 -0400 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. 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. High-quality papers can be selected from the workshop, and (after extension) will be published as a special issue in the following international journal: International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector (IJISSS) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association - www.igi-global.com/ijisss Listed in Cabell's Directory of Refereed Publications (AACSB Standard) and indexed in many professional databases. 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. High-quality papers can be selected from the workshop, and (after extension) will be published as a special issue in the following premium international journal: International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector (IJISSS), Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association - www.igi-global.com/ijisss Listed in Cabell's Directory of Refereed Publications (AACSB Standard) and indexed in many professional databases� IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission: May 31, 2009 Author notification: July 12, 2009 Camera-ready: July 24, 2009 PROGRAM COMMITTEE : João Paulo A.

[Fwd: [WI] DEADLINE APPROACHING - 2nd edBPM 2009]
by Gustaf Neumann 19 May '09

19 May '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] DEADLINE APPROACHING - 2nd edBPM 2009 Datum: Tue, 19 May 2009 11:26:32 +0200 Von: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (***DEADLINE APPROACHING***) Deadline paper submissions: 22 May 2009 Call for Papers edBPM 09 2nd International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management 7 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).

Wednesday and Thursday, 7-8th October 2009, Pune, India Deadline for submissions: August 3rd 2009. ========================================================= Theme and Focus: The HUMAN WORK INTERACTION DESIGN 2009 working conference analyzes the concept of usability in social, cultural and organizational contexts. Analyzing usability in context is important for connecting empirical work analysis and interaction design. In industry, a wealth of usability evaluation methods is used to evaluate computer software user interfaces and other interactive products: Inspection methods, Workplace observation, Think-Aloud Usability Test, etc. These techniques often give - seemingly - similar results when applied in diverse social, cultural and organizational settings, but experience shows that we need a deep understanding of the cultural, social and organizational context to interpret the results, and to transform it into interaction design. The working conference will present current research into and industrial experiences with usability as a way of connecting empirical work analysis and interaction design, with a special focus on contexts in India. Cultural usability is a comprehensive concept, which adheres to all kinds of contexts in which humans are involved (private family, work, public and private organizations, nature and climate, technological, etc.). The purpose of the working conference is to enable practitioners and researchers to analyze the concept of usability and how it can be used to connect empirical work analyses and interaction designs in different contexts. After the conference, a limited number of selected papers will be published in an IFIP Springer book. We expect the participants will be people from industry and academia with an interest on usability, work and design in different social, cultural and organizational contexts. The working conference will be conducted in a good social atmosphere that invites to openness and provides time to reflection and discussion about each of the accepted papers and cases. The topics include, but are not limited to: Social, cultural and organizational dimensions of usability � Usability and social context � Usability and cultural context � Usability and organizational context � Work style modeling in different cultural, social and organizational contexts � Usability assurance and assessment in outsourced developments � Usability and technological application areas such as groupware, mobile, social computing, web based and software applications � Experience design and design conversations Usability techniques and methods applied for design research � The concept of Usability as a mean to connect empirical work studies and interaction design � Application of usability design and research methods like think aloud, ethnography, contextual inquiry, GOMS, cognitive walkthrough, other empirical research methods applied for ICT applications design � Usability engineering and process management � Case studies of usability in an Indian context � The use of ethnographic methods to generate scenarios and use cases in a foreign country � Empirical studies of culture-specific or culture-aware usability evaluation methods Submission guidelines: We invite two types of papers: � Full research papers (10 pages) � Industry � case studies & work in progress (4 pages) For submissions to the working conference, the authors must use the LNCS templates and style files available from http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376- 0#anchor10 Download paper template with format specifications: typeinst.doc All papers should be in the working conference publication format and sent as both pdf and MS Word files to dinesh(a)cdac.in; rior(a)dpu.dk and pradeep(a)iitg.ernet.in by August 3rd, 2009. An IFIP Springer copyright will be required of the accepted papers and can be found here http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0. Acceptance notification for conference papers: Notification of acceptance will be provided by August 21 2009. All accepted papers will be published in the working conference proceedings in the form of a CD with ISBN and made available to the participants. Selection of Papers for IFIP Springer Book: During the review process, the reviewers are asked to evaluate (also among papers from industry and students) whether the paper is suitable for an IFIP Springer book. We aim at most accepted full research papers to be included here, but also the possibility to have a very interesting perspective from industry or similar represented.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP - Special Issue of IEEE Software on Agility and Architecture Datum: Mon, 18 May 2009 00:27:28 -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> IEEE Software Special Issue on Agility and Architecture - Oil and Water? Submission Deadline: August 17, 2009. Publication: March/April 2010 Agile software development approaches have had significant impact on industrial software development practices. However, despite becoming widely popular, there is an increasing perplexity about the scalability of Agile approaches to cater the needs and requirements of developing large scale software-intensive systems. Advocates of the vital role of architecture in achieving quality goals of large scale software intensive systems are skeptics of the scalability of any development approach that does not pay sufficient attention to the Non-Functional Requirements and architectural aspects of developing large-scale software-intensive systems, especially in domains like automotive, telecommunication, finance, and medical devices. But the proponents of Agile approaches usually emphasize the importance of features (i.e., functional requirements) and perceive the upfront design and evaluation of architecture as being of little value to the customers of a system. There is a growing interest in separating the facts from myths about the necessity, importance, advantages and disadvantages of co-existence of agile and architectural approaches. IEEE Software seeks submissions for a special issue on Agility and Architecture � Oil and Water? Potential topics include - Industry relevant and tested approaches, techniques, and tools for eliciting, specifying, and satisfying non-functional requirements in agile software development approaches - Case studies on success and/or failure in integrating architectural approaches in agile software development approaches - Practical guidelines and frameworks for designing and evolving reliable architectures while developing large systems using agile approaches - Experience reports of scale Agile approaches for large systems while dealing with architectural challenges - Best practices about putting together the agile values and architectural principles optimally for developing and evolving large scale software-intensive products and services Manuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and tables, which count for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits may be rejected without refereeing. The articles we deem within the theme's scope will be peer-reviewed and are subject to editing for magazine style, clarity, organization, and space. We reserve the right to edit the title of all submissions. Be sure to include the name of the theme or special issue you are submitting for. Articles should have a practical orientation, and be written in a style accessible to practitioners. Overly complex, purely research-oriented or theoretical treatments are not appropriate. Articles should be novel. IEEE Software does not re-publish material published previously in other venues, including other periodicals and formal conference/workshop proceedings, whether previous publication was in print or in electronic form. For this special issue, we particularly seek to include practitioner reports, experiences and case studies. For your contributions to be considered, please note the following aspects: - you have valuable insights from your projects or organizations from which other practitioners can learn; - you can place these insights in a larger context, indicating their origins and discussing alternative approaches; - the insights are deep enough to reveal the approaches� limitations; and - you can support them by qualitative or quantitative data. For more detailed guidance in preparing your contribution in this special issue, see �Tips for Software Authors� in September/October 2007 (pp. 5.-7) issue of IEEE Software.
