-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Workshop Proposals to Accompany ECOWS 2009: the 7th European Conference on Web Services Datum: Thu, 14 May 2009 08:13:51 +0100 Von: Nikolay Mehandjiev <nikolay.mehandjiev(a)manchester.ac.uk> Antwort an: Nikolay Mehandjiev <nikolay.mehandjiev(a)manchester.ac.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Workshop Proposals to accompany ECOWS 2009: The 7th European Conference on Web Services November 9-11, 2009, Eindhoven, The Netherlands http://is.ieis.tue.nl/ecows09/workshops.html The European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS) is the premier conference for both researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest advances in the state of the art and practices of Web Services. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. The success encountered by the Web has shown that tightly coupled software systems are only good for niche markets, whereas loosely coupled software systems can be more flexible, more adaptive and often more appropriate in practice. Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other systems, possibly legacy systems that share very little with it. Web services are at the crossing of distributed computing and loosely coupled systems. When applications adopt service-oriented architectures, they can evolve during their lifespan more easily and better adapt to changing or unpredictable environments. When properly implemented, services can be discovered and invoked dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms, while each service can still be implemented in a black-box manner. This is important from a business perspective since each service can be implemented using any technology, independently of the others. What matters is that everybody agrees on the integration technology, and there is a consensus about this in today's middleware market: customers want to use Web technologies. Despite these promises, however, service integrators, developers, and providers need to create methods tools and techniques to support cost-effective development and the use of dependable services and service-oriented applications. Workshop Proposal Submission Guidelines: The ECOWS 2009 Organizing Committee invites proposals for one day or half day workshops that will complement the main conference (see http://is.ieis.tue.nl/ecows09/). The workshops will be held on Nov 9th. Researchers and practitioners wishing to organize workshops should submit proposals in plain text or pdf-format. Proposals should include a workshop name and acronym, a technical description of the workshop topic area, a short description of the intended length and format of the workshop, a brief statement of the relevance of the workshop to ECOWS 2009, the names and e-mail addresses of the organizing committee, a list of proposed program committee members, and tentative dates for submission and notification of acceptance. Please email your workshop proposal or preliminary enquiries to n.mehandjiev(a)manchester.ac.uk Workshop proposals will be acknowledged within 48 hours, please contact us if you do not receive such an acknowledgement. The proposals will be evaluated by the ECOWS Organizing Committee. The titles and brief information about accepted workshops will be included in the ECOWS 2009 web site as well as links to the call for papers and call for participation.

[Fwd: [isworld] all EJIS/JIT FREE(!) all May]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] all EJIS/JIT FREE(!) all May Datum: Wed, 13 May 2009 20:20:38 -0400 Von: Richard Baskerville <baskerville(a)acm.org> Antwort an: Richard Baskerville <baskerville(a)acm.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear Colleagues, I understand that the publishers of EJIS and JIT, Palgrave Macmillan, have placed all their journal content on a free trial for the month of May. This is a great time to grab the recent content (often institutional subscriptions won't include the most recent year's articles). http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ejis/archive/index.html http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jit/archive/index.html EJIS published its special issue on Design Science Research in October (17:5), and I hope our special issue on security will just hit the web site before the free month is out (no guarantees). Its a genuine free lunch, so go for it. Among the recent general articles, I particularly recommend two: Rethinking Organizational Size (Goode & Gregor) EJIS 18:1, Feb 2009 Information capability and value creation strategy: advancing revenue management through mobile ticketing technologies (Li et al) EJIS 18:1 Feb 2009 My summaries of these two follow What exactly do we mean by organisational size? In "Rethinking Organisational Size in IS Research: Meaning, Measurement and Redevelopment", Sigi Goode and Shirley Gregor of The Australian National University examine one of the most common constructs in information systems research (or indeed in management research in general). The article reports a comprehensive research program consisting of three studies. The first study is an extensive literature review that surveys and analyses the construct as it appears in the information systems scholarly press. The second study builds on the first by using a concept mapping exercise to refine and validate the analysis from the first study. In the third part of the program, the authors survey a sample of business firms as a pilot test of the refined construct. The research program reported by this paper offers a rigorous exploration of what "organisational size" can mean in information systems research. It reminds me strongly of Delone and McLean's (1992) quest for the elusive dependent variable (success) that has been recently updated in EJIS (Petter et al., 2008). Only in this case, Goode and Gregor's quest is for the elusive independent variable (size). As is the case with Petter, Delone and McLean, the quest by Goode and Gregor leads to a deep and welcome understanding of one of our most important research constructs. Ting Li, Eric van Heck, and Peter Vervest of Erasmus University explain exactly why the transit smart card in my pocket (it is an Atlanta Breeze Card) is even smarter than I realised. The detailed passenger data has enabled equally-smart transportation providers to strategise price differentiation and service expansion in ways that improved organisational financial performance and add more payback to the technology investment. The data from these devices, which many of us saw as process control technologies, offer the basis for a classic study of IT-driven strategy-setting with high payback potential. In "Information Capability and Value Creation Strategy: Advancing Revenue Management Through Mobile Ticketing Technologies", the authors study 17 cases of smart card adoption in large-scale public transit systems (three in Europe, four in the US, and ten in Asia). By large-scale, they mean the Atlanta Breeze Card, the Boston Charlie Card, the Chicago Card, the Hong Kong Octopus, the London Oyster Card, the Moscow Transport Card, Seoul T-money, the Washington SmarTrip, and the Netherlands-wide OV-chipkaart (among others). Learn how the data from these cards in your pockets is changing the organisational strategies of your transit systems.

The new multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-21) facilitate the seamless integration of multiple modalities into interoperable multimedia frameworks, transforming the way people work and interact with multimedia data. These key technologies and multimedia solutions interact and collaborate with each other in an ever effective way, bringing along the multimedia revolution. Traditional multimedia research, which largely lies in signal processing and data communication, is now facing challenges posed by the new research trends such as multimedia semantic computing, multi-modal interaction and cross-mining, cooperative processing, new multimedia standards, Quality of Service (QoS), multimedia security, and social issues, which are just a few examples of the major research areas. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in multimedia semantic computing to discuss the state of the art of the research on semantic-based multimedia systems, present theoretical frameworks and practical implementations, and identify challenges and open issues in multimedia semantic modeling and integration. Multimedia semantic computing can be defined as "Computing with (machine processable) Descriptions of Content and Intentions" of multimedia data and has been gaining attentions in various applications including pervasive multimedia computing systems, multimedia delivery over the network, personalized multimedia information retrieval systems which adapt to the user's needs, integration of semantic content and schema from distributed multimedia sources so that the user sees a unified view of heterogeneous data, clustering and classification of semantically-tied information in different multimedia modalities, security issues in multimedia/hypertext systems, etc. We invite researchers from various disciplines to submit original research contributions to this workshop. IEEE SCMS 2009 will be held in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/icsc/).

This year, the 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability (RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, collocated with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest Business Rules event. RuleML-2009 is devoted to practical distributed rule Technologies and rule-based applications which need language standards for Rules (inter)operating in, e.g., the Semantic Web, Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications. The main goal of RuleML-2009 is to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability between business and research, by bringing together rule system providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open source communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in practical rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2009 will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range of thematic tracks, and thus will be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas and experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration, interoperation and interchange of rules in open distributed environments such as the Web. Conference Theme ============================================================================ This year, we particularly welcome submissions that address applications of Web rule technologies for business and information systems. We invite you to share your ideas, results, and experiences: as an industry practitioner, rule system provider, technical expert and developer, rule user or researcher, exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, or using rule-based systems. We invite high-quality submissions related to (but not limited to) one or more of the following topics: Track Topics ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rule Transformation and Extraction - Transformation and extraction with rule standards, such as SBVR, RIF and OCL - Extraction of rules from code - Transformation and extraction in the context of frameworks such as KDM (Knowledge Discovery meta-model) - Extraction of rules from natural language - Transformation or rules from one dialect into another Rules and Uncertainty - Languages for the formalization of uncertainty rules - Probabilistic, fuzzy and other rule frameworks for reasoning with uncertain or incomplete information - Handling inconsistent or disparate rules using uncertainty - Uncertainty extensions of event processing rules, business rules, reactive rules, causal rules, derivation rules, association rules, or transformation rules Rules and Norms - Methodologies for modeling regulations using both ontologies and rules - Defeasibility: modeling rule exceptions and priority relations among rules - The relationship between rules and legal argumentation schemes - Rule language requirements for the "isomorphic" modeling of legislation - Rule based inference mechanism for legal reasoning - E-contracting and automated negotiations with rule-based declarative strategies Rule-based Game AI - Rule-based movement, decision making, strategies, behavior design - Rule-based environmental programming, virtual reality - Rules for multi-agent/character games - Rules for serious games - Rule-based agent design Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules - Reaction rule languages and engines (production rules, ECA rules, logic event action formalisms, vocabularies/ontologies) - State management approaches and frameworks - Concurrency control and scalability - Event and action definition, detection, consumption, termination, lifecycle management - Dynamic rule-based workflows and intelligent event processing (rule-based CEP) - Non-functional requirements, use of annotations, metadata to capture those - Design time and execution time aspects of rule-based (Semantic) Business Processes Modeling and Management - Practical and business aspects of rule-based (Semantic) Business Process Management (business scenarios, case studies, use cases etc.) Rules and Cross Industry Standards - Rules in Current Industry Standards, including: - XBRL: Extensible Business Reporting Language - MISMO: Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Org - FIXatdl: FIX Algorithmic Trading Definition Language - FpML: Financial products Markup Language - HL7: Health Level 7 - Acord: Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development (Insurance Industry) - Rules for Governance, Risk, & Compliance (GRC), e.g., rules for internal audit, SOX compliance, enterprise risk management (ERM), operational risk, etc - Rules and Corporate Actions General Rule Topics - Rules and ontologies - Execution models, rule engines, and environments - From rules to FOL to modal logics - Rule-based reasoning with non-monotonic negation, modalities, deontic, temporal, priority, scoped or other rule qualification - Rule-based default reasoning with default logic, defeasible logic, and answer set programming - Graphical processing, modelling and rendering of rules - Rules in Semantic Web Technologies(SW), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Business Process Modeling (BPM), Cloud Computing (CC), Intelligent Agents, Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), Software Engineering (SE), Unified Modeling Language (UML), e-Learning, e-Commerce, ... - Miscellaneous rule topics Case studies, experience reports, and industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged. RuleML-2009 Challenge ============================================================================ The RuleML-2009 Demo Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2009. We invite submissions of demos where rules are used in interesting and practically relevant ways to, e.g., derive useful information, transform knowledge, provide decision support and provide automated rule-based monitoring, enforcement, validation or management of the behavioural logic of the application. The Challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications. Submissions are solicited in these categories: - Benchmarks (test cases, suites) with evaluations of (their own, other) rule engines and/or rule translators, possibly drawing on our growing pool at http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw - Case studies (use cases) implemented via engines/translators employing rule standards such as RIF, RuleML, CLIPS, Common Logic, SBVR, and ISO Prolog. We welcome all demos about tools and applications using rules such as: - Derivation rules, including query and integrity rules - ECA rules, including production rules, reaction rules, and rule-based CEP languages Authors of demo are also invited to submit a Challenge demo paper for publications in the conference proceedings, see the submission section below for submission details. Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from each category. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. A submission to the RuleML Challenge has to meet the requirement that declarative rules explicitly play a central role in the application. Basically this means that: Rules are explicitly represented in a declarative format and they are decoupled from the application (rather than being compiled or hard-coded into the application logic). The demo should preferably (but not necessarily) be embedded into a web-based or distributed environment so that there will be a need for features related to the RuleML conference topics, as listed in the call for papers. For more details and the demo site web link please consult the RuleML-2009 Challenge website: http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw Student Grant Awards ============================================================================ Two travel grants are available to students who are authors or co-authors of papers or demos accepted for presentation at the symposium. The grants include free registration and cover travel expenses up to 1000 dollars. Conference Language ============================================================================ The official language of the conference will be English. Submission ============================================================================ Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance and technical rigor in the field, experience reports and show case/use case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies or applications in distributed environments. Papers must be in English and may be submitted at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2009 as: Full Papers (15 pages in the proceedings) Short Papers (8 pages in the proceedings) RuleML-2009 Challenge Demo Paper + Show Cases (3-5 pages in the proceedings) Please upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3 PC members based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors are requested to upload the abstracts of their papers before June 9, 2009 and to upload their complete papers by June 16, 2009. The selected Papers will be published in book form in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series along with a CD with demo software and documents. The best paper from all submissions will be determined by the PC and a Best Paper Award will be handed over at the Symposium by a Sponsor. All submissions must be done electronically. A selection of revised papers will be resubmitted to a special issue of a journal. Submissions to the RuleML Challenge 2009 consist of a demo paper of 3-5 pages, describing the demo show case, and a link to more information about the demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the demonstration, or a download site for the demonstration. In case of product demos, the link can be password-protected: please submit a password for anonymous login from any Web browser, giving us the permission to pass the password on to 3 PC members. The submissions should satisfy the minimal requirements defined in the topics of interest and preferably exhibit some of the additional desiderata. The more desiderata are met by an application, the higher the score will be. The demos will be evaluated by the RuleML-2009 Program Committee and prizes will be awarded to the two best applications, sponsored by the RuleML Inc. non-profit organization.
