It supports social interaction and social production. Social interaction is the interaction of non-predetermined individuals. Social production is the creation of artefacts, by combining the input from independent contributors without predetermining the way to do this. Users are supported in creating new contacts, presenting themselves and collaborating with other users. As a result, content, knowledge and software is not created by a hierarchy of experts, but by combining a multitude of contributions of independent authors/actors. Examples for such a social production are wikis, blogs, social bookmarking and tagging, etc. Social software follows a more egalitarian and meritocratic approach compared to traditional approaches where the role of the software user is determined by the enterprise senior management and its representatives. Thus, trust and reputation play a crucial role in the use of social software instead of authority granted by the top management. The paradigm of social software and social production has created a multitude of success stories such as wikipedia.org and the development of the Linux operating system. Therefore, more and more enterprises see social software and social production as a means for further improvement of their business processes and business models. For example, they integrate their customers into product development by using blogs to capture ideas for new products and features. Thus, business processes have to be adapted to new communication patterns between customers and the enterprise: for example, the communication with the customer is increasingly a bi-directional communication with the customer and among the customers. Social software also offers new possibilities to enhance business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc. Up to now, the interaction of social software and the underlying paradigm of social production with business processes have not been investigated in depth. Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social software and social production interact with business process management, how business process management has to change to comply with social production, and how business processes may profit from social techniques. *TOPICS OF INTEREST:* *1. New opportunities provided by social software for BPM * - How can business processes fit to business models based on the paradigm of social production? - Which new possibilities for the design of business processes are created by social software? - How are trust and reputation established in business processes using social software? - Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when they are not well defined (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad hoc? - How does social production influence the design of business processes? - What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories of business processes which are not well-defined or that we do not wish to freeze using classical business process enactment systems for instance? *2. Engineering next generation of business processes: BPM 2.0 ? * - Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software? - Is there an influence of social production and social software on BPM methods themselves? - Are there any similarities or relationships with process mining techniques and also with workflow control and role patterns? - Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Performance, and Evaluation) are affected the most by social software? - How can BPM profit from using social software? - Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM lifecycle? *3. Business process implementation support by social software * - Which kinds of social software can be used to implement business processes? - Which categories of business processes can profit from social software? - How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process support systems? - How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes? - What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by social production? *SUBMISSION: *Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages (There is no possibility to buy additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer than 6 pages. 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 (regular paper/position paper/tool report). Papers (preferably in PDF format) should be emailed to _Rainer.Schmidt(a)htw-aalen.de_. 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 the workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-proceeding volume (to be sent around 4 months after the workshop) in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. *EXPECTED RESULTS: *All papers will be published on workshop wiki before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other participants. A blog will be used to encourage and support discussions. The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. The workshop report will be created collaboratively using a wiki. A special issue over all workshops will be published in the Journal of Software Process Improvement and Practice for selected BPM 2009 workshop papers. For each of the eight workshops one paper will be selected and invited for extension and submission for the special issue. *IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission:* *May 22d, 2009 *Author notification:* June 16, 2009 *Camera-ready: * July 1, 2009 PROGRAM COMMITTEE : *Ilia Bider - IbisSoft, Sweden Jan Bosch - Intuit, Mountain View, California, USA Tad Hogg - HP Information Dynamics Laboratory, Palo Alto, USA Ralf Klamma - Informatik 5, RWTH Aachen, Germany Sai Peck Lee - University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Dragan Gasevic - School of Computing and Information Systems, Athabasca University, Canada Werner Geyer - IBM T.J.

The Workshop ViWo 2009 provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of learning and training in virtual worlds. The 8th International Conference on International Conference on Web-based Learning, ICWL2009, will be jointly organized by Hong Kong Web Society, RWTH Aachen University, and Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science. ICWL is an annual international conference on web-based learning. Background Our society of the 21st century makes great demands on its members caused by rapid developing and ever-changing political, social, economical and technological situations. Consequently, it is expected that members of the society keep pace with these mutable situations, adapt their skills and expertise. As a result, modern instructional design, learning goals and processes as well as appropriate learning environments must support the development of the aforementioned skills and expertises. Consequently, educational approaches have changed dramatically over time from less formal schooling in the agrarian society to remedial repetitive learning in the industrialization age to learning with an understanding in today's knowledge society. Based on that, different modern educational strategies have been developed which includes aspects such as self-directed learning, collaborative learning, experiential-based learning and actively participating. Educational approaches have also been influenced by technology but have also increasingly applied technology over the last decades, such as motion pictures, radio, television, computers and other emerging information and communication technologies (ICT). Last year's hype surrounding the virtual world "Second Life" has also generated significant interest in the education community. Although virtual worlds have been an active research topic for a long time, technology was not ready for complex application scenarios since recent years. New interesting and powerful platforms and tools, such as Second Life, Active Worlds, Multiverse, Open Croquet, OpenSim and Sun's 3D Wonderland, have been emerged applicable to complement or even replace other knowledge transfer and learning settings. Modern virtual worlds are seen from an optimistic viewpoint as a disruptive and transformative technology. However, it still remains unclear to some extent where the real benefits and limitations of using virtual worlds as knowledge transfer and learning environments are when compared to more traditional methods. In order to avoid the same pitfalls of past e-learning solutions by just applying traditional learning approaches to a new technology, this special track is indented to offer a multidisciplinary platform which brings together international researchers from different organizations in order to share their experience with this technology. Topics We invite submissions of papers in the categories research, development, evaluation and best practices that deal with virtual worlds for academic, organizational, and life-long learning issues including, but not limited to: . Technological approaches, their limitations and how to overcome them . Virtual worlds and mobile learning . Virtual learning space design and architecture . Modern learning settings . Didactic and cognitive aspects . New learning and teaching activities . Interaction and behavior patterns . Distance and blended learning . Organizational learning, vocational training and certification . Academic learning, assessment and feedback . Collaborative and social learning . Mixed Virtual world and classroom learning .

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] HICSS-43 CfP: minitrack on Knowledge Management/Organizational Memory Success and Performance Measurements Datum: Thu, 14 May 2009 02:53:21 -0400 Von: Stefan Smolnik <Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu> Antwort an: Stefan Smolnik <Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS Forty-Third Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-43) January 5 - 8, 2009 (Monday-Thursday) The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa on Kauai (http://kauai.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp) Track: Knowledge Management Systems Minitrack: Knowledge Management/Organizational Memory Success and Performance Measurements Research into knowledge management, organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of knowledge management research has been achieved. However, organizational knowledge management initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in today's business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of knowledge management initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and thus are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiatives' success. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measure thi! s success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems * Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance * Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success * Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives * Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements * Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge management/organizational memory systems * Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge management performance * Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success Co-chairs: Murray E.
