[Fwd: [isworld] Call for Papers - Electronic Markets, Vol. 20, No 3]
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers - Electronic Markets, Vol. 20, No 3 Datum: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:31:18 -0400 Von: Karen Heyden <heyden(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> Antwort an: Karen Heyden <heyden(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear colleagues, Apologies if you receive this more than once. We would like to draw your attention to our call for papers for the upcoming issue Vol. 20, No. 3 of Electronic Markets with a focus theme section on 'Pricing in Electronic Markets and Networks'. The submission deadline is December 11, 2009. The detailed CfP is copied below. We cordially invite original research contributions to the focus theme or to general research on electronic markets and networked business from all potential authors. Please note that general research articles can be submitted anytime whereas focus theme articles have to be submitted by the deadline shown in the CfP. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to interested colleagues. If questions arise regarding the submission deadline or potential topics please contact the editorial office (editors(a)electronicmarkets.org). With best regards, Karen Heyden Executive Editor --------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers for the Focus Theme Section on 'Pricing in Electronic Markets and Networks' Guest Editors of this focus theme section: * Andreas Herrmann (Univ. of St. Gallen, Switzerland), * Martin Spann (Univ. of Passau, Germany), * David Sprott (Washington State Univ., USA). Electronic media have tremendously changed the opportunities and challenges of pricing decisions. The interactive nature of ICT has promoted the use of interactive pricing mechanisms where the price is not solely posted by the seller but discovered through the interaction between sellers and buyers. Such interactive pricing mechanisms are now frequently used in B2B transactions (e.g., procurement auctions), the selling of advertisements in search engines (e.g., search key auctions) or in B2C and C2C transactions (e.g., eBay). Further, the increased price transparency in electronic markets limits seller�s ability to price discriminate. Shopbots allow consumers to easily compare prices of different retailers and consumers can discuss and exchange price and product information in shopping communities or social networks. However, these numerous information sources may overload consumers� ability to adequately process this information and hence make proper use of it in their decision making. More pricing research is required to enhance our understanding of optimal pricing decisions, pricing mechanism design and buyers reaction to these pricing decisions in electronic markets and networks. This is the goal of this focus theme section. Potential topics and research questions that this focus theme section would address include but are not limited to: * Interactive and dynamic pricing * Bidding behavior in auctions and auction design * Pricing of electronic content and services * Search engine marketing and entertainment shopping * Effects of shopbots, recommender systems and social networks on pricing decisions * Consumer decision making / behavioral pricing * Pricing under network externalities Additional topic suggestions are welcome. All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets� publication standards. Methodological and theoretical pluralism (empirical or theoretical work, qualitative research, design science, prototypes �) is welcomed by the journal. Full papers are invited to be submitted by 11. December 2009. All papers must be original, not published or under review elsewhere. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the focus theme section, please contact the Editor for the focus theme section. Contact addresses: andreas.herrmann(a)unisg.ch, martin.spann(a)uni-passau.de, dsprott(a)wsu.edu or editors(a)electronicmarkets.org Papers must be submitted via our electronic submission system.

Applications that use these research results are achieving economic success. Data now become available that allow researchers to analyze the use, acceptance and evolution of their ideas. Highly popular user-centered applications such as Blogs, social tagging systems, and Wikis have come to be known as "Web 2.0". A major reason for their immediate success is the high ease of use of new Web 2.0 services. These sites do not only provide data but also generate an abundance of weakly structured metadata. A good example is tagging. Here, users add keywords from an uncontrolled vocabulary, called tags, to a resource. Such metadata are easy to produce, but lack any kind of formal grounding, as used in the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web can complement the bottom-up effort of the Web 2.0 community in a top-down manner. Its central point is a stronger knowledge representation based on some kind of ontology with a fixed vocabulary and typed relations. Such a structure is typically something users have in mind when they provide their information in Web 2.0 systems. However, for further use, this structure is hidden in the data and needs to be extracted. Techniques to analyze network structures or weak knowledge representations as can be found in the Web 2.0 have a long tradition in different other disciplines, like social network analysis, machine learning and data mining. These kinds of automatic mechanisms are necessary to extract the hidden information and to reveal the structure in a way that the end user can benefit from it. Using established methods to represent knowledge gained from unstructured data will also be beneficial for the Web 2.0 in that it provides Web 2.0 users with enhanced Semantic Web features to structure their data. For this special issue, we invite contributions which show how synergies between Semantic Web and Web 2.0 techniques can be successfully used. Since both communities work on network-like data structures, analysis methods from different fields of research could form a link between those communities. Techniques can be - but are not limited to - social network analysis, graph analysis, machine learning and data mining methods. Topics of interest ------------------ Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * ontology learning from Web 2.0 data * instance extraction from Web 2.0 systems * analysis of Blogs * discovering social structures and communities * predicting trends and user behaviour * analysis of dynamic networks * using content of the Web for modelling * discovering misuse and fraud * network analysis of social resource sharing systems * analysis of folksonomies and other Web 2.0 data structures * analysis of Web 2.0 applications and their data * deriving profiles from usage * personalized delivery of news and journals * Semantic Web personalization * Semantic Web technologies for recommender systems * ubiquitous data mining in Web (2.0) environment * applications In accordance with the focus of the journal, the relatedness of your submission to the Semantic Web will be an important evaluation criterion. Submission Details ------------------ Submissions should describe original contributions and should not have been published or submitted elsewhere. Submissions based on conference papers should be extended and include a reference to the corresponding proceedings. All submissions will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] DADS Track at ACM SAC 2010 Call for papers Datum: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:06:56 -0400 Von: Karl M. Göschka <Karl.Goeschka(a)tuwien.ac.at> Antwort an: Karl M. Göschka <Karl.Goeschka(a)tuwien.ac.at> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS =============== +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 5th Track on Dependable and Adaptive Distributed Systems (DADS) | | of the 25th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC'10) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ March 22 - 26, 2010 Sierre, Switzerland http://www.dedisys.org/sac10/ http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2010/ Accepted papers will be published in the ACM conference proceedings and will be included in the ACM digital library. Important Dates: Paper submission: September 8, 2009 Author notification: October 19, 2009 Camera-ready copies: November 2, 2009 Authors are invited to submit original work not previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere. Authors submit full papers in pdf format using the submission site http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2010/. Authors are allowed up to 8 pages, but with more than 5 pages in the final camera ready, there will be a charge of 80USD per extra page. Call details ============ Dependability is no longer restricted to critical applications, but rather becomes a cornerstone of the information society. Dependability clearly is a holistic concept: Contributing factors are not only technical, but also social, cultural (i.e. corporate culture), psychological (perceived dependability), managerial (information management and processes), and economical. Fostering learning is a key, and simplicity is generally an enabler for dependability. Unfortunately, heterogeneous, large-scale, and dynamic software systems that typically run continuously often tend to become inert, brittle, and vulnerable after a while. The key problem is, that the most innovative mobile and pervasive systems and applications are the ones that also suffer most from a significant decrease in (deterministic) dependability when compared to traditional critical systems, where dependability and security are fairly well understood as complementary concepts and a variety of proven methods and techniques is available today. In accordance with Laprie we call this effect the dependability gap, which is widened in front of us between demand and supply of dependability, and we can see this trend further fueled by an ever increasing cost pressure. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges such as cross-organisational heterogeneity, massive scale, and mobility. Of course, dependability and adaptiveness can not simply be added to a system like a plug-in module. Rather, for databases, services, middleware, and software development, application developers need tools, sound methodologies, common practices, standards, architectural principles, and middleware services, to tackle the inherent complexity and emerging behavior of distributed systems and to ensure trustworthy services. Therefore, the vision of this track is on the convergence of software development tools with middleware, traditional dependability, fault tolerance, security, and adaptivity concepts, together with social and psychological aspects, to compensate for dependability degradation of running software and services. Topics of interest ================== * Architectural and infrastructural principles for adaptive and dependable distributed systems. * Adaptivity and dependability in service oriented architectures. * Trust and dependability as complementary and competing aspects. Integration of security and dependability concepts. Balancing and negotiation of dependability and security properties. * Dependability in complex service oriented environments, GRID-computing, and P2P-systems. Concertation, orchestration, coordination, and context-awareness (context-modeling). * Middleware support for reunification of network segments and reconciliation of divergent replicas. Consideration of alternative techniques for dynamic configuration and/or reconfiguration. * New middleware protocols, that are able to work in a peer-to-peer manner in cross-organisational environments and to tackle the challenges of massive scale and mobility. * Data replication strategies, interfaces, and standards. Interaction of distributed databases with middleware systems. * Adaptive, optimistic replication models and protocols. * Group communication and group membership services in failure scenarios with network partitions. * Other fault tolerance techniques, including transactions and explicit control of quality of service properties. * Autonomous behaviour and self-* properties. * Partial and probabilistic approaches for replication, group membership, and distributed consensus in loosely-coupled and ad-hoc environments to improve dependability. * Support for dependability and adaptiveness in component-based systems (e.g. component frameworks, container services, deployment, composition and substitution of components, building trusted systems from untrusted components). * Trading of dependability and adaptability with other non-functional requirements like integrity (consistency) or performance. Approaches to improve the scalability of dependable and adaptive systems. * Foundations and formal methods (e.g., rigorous development of dependable systems, verification and refinement of fault tolerant systems, techniques and mechanisms ensuring application level fault tolerance). * System design, modeling, development and tool support for dependable and adaptive systems Track program co-chairs =============== Karl M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] SCAM 2009 Call for Participation - 9th IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation Datum: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:41:02 +0100 Von: Jens Krinke <krinke(a)acm.org> Antwort an: Jens Krinke <krinke(a)acm.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ------------------------------------------------------- Call for Participation Ninth IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM 2009) http://www2009.ieee-scam.org/ 20th - 21st, September 2009 Edmonton, Canada Co-located with ICSM 2009 ------------------------------------------------------- Register on-line at http://icsm2009.cs.ualberta.ca/register.php Early registration discount ends August 31, 2009 SCAM brings together researchers and practitioners working on theory, techniques and applications which concern analysis and/or manipulation of the source code of computer systems. While much attention in the wider software engineering community is properly directed towards other aspects of systems development and evolution, such as specification, design and requirements engineering, it is the source code that contains the only precise description of the behaviour of the system. The analysis and manipulation of source code thus remains a pressing concern. This year’s program is led off by a keynote entitled ``How Analysis Can Hinder Source Code Manipulation - And What to Do about It'' by Michael Ernst. Michael’s keynote will be followed by two days of presentations of 17 full papers and 3 practical tool demonstrations, including original and significant research and tools in the field of source code analysis and manipulation, with topics in: - program transformation - abstract interpretation - program slicing - source level software metrics - decompilation - source level testing and verification - source level optimization - program comprehension In keeping with the spirit and format of a working conference, SCAM will continue its tradition of a highly discursive meeting, with theme-based discussion tracks aimed at structuring and stimulating discussion. Authors will have a 15 minute slot to present their work, with 10 minutes (maximum) for talking with 5 minutes (minimum) for questions. Authors are encouraged not to attempt to present the details of their paper in this time. Rather, respecting the discussion-centered goal of SCAM, authors are encouraged to use a few slides to present points, claims, issues and topics for discussion and to use their time allocation to attempt to set the agenda for the ensuing discussions. Each session has a specifically allocated discussion time at the end of the presentations to allow for this. General Chair: Thomas Dean, Queen’s University, Canada Program Co-chairs: Sibylle Schupp, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Andrew Walenstein, University of Louisiana at Lafeyette, USA More details of SCAM 2009 available at: http://www2009.ieee-scam.org/ The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP-Int. J. of E-Services and Mobile App.-Special Issue- E-finance and E-banking Datum: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:15:12 -0400 Von: Ada Scupola <ada(a)ruc.dk> Antwort an: Ada Scupola <ada(a)ruc.dk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> International Journal of E-Services and Mobile Applications (IJESMA) Editor-in-Chief: Ada Scupola, Roskilde University , Denmark http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?ID=7830 Call for Papers - Special Issue on : E-FINANCE & E-BANKING Submission Due Date: September 15th, 2009 Guest Editor: Dr. Achraf Ayadi, La Rochelle Business School , France Introduction During the last few years, the growing interest of the banking industry in the Internet has led to the development from simple banking or trading web sites into comprehensive Electronic Finance or Banking Portals. These portals offer a great variety of services in addition to traditional financial products and thereby enable customers to obtain financial advice from a single source. However, the complexity of these services vary widely among countries and, often, among banks in the same market. Very few contributions in the academic and business literature concerned the deep impact that the virtualization of financial services could have on banks' information systems, management of operations and customer relationship. This special issue of IJESMA could be a unique occasion to confront multiple points of view and to regroup multidisciplinary research results in the field of E-Finance/E-Banking management. Objective of Special Issue This special issue of IJESMA aims to gather a set of research papers representing a core material of the state-of-the art in the field of E-Finance/E-Banking management. We look to enhance the reader's knowledge about the multiple impacts of electronic remote channels in organizing the banking industry, in transforming the internal organization of banks themselves and in promoting a new equilibrium towards an evolving market. Type of Submissions We welcome theoretical papers as well as practical analysis, especially from a multidisciplinary perspective. Case studies with a strong theoretical framework are also welcomed. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. We are looking for high quality papers with strong theoretical basis and/or empirical material. Coverage The coverage of this special issue includes, but is not limited to, the following subjects: · Infrastructure issues for e-finance/e-banking · Measuring the readiness of the banking system for e-finance/e-banking · New legal issues involved in conducting e-finance/e-banking · Survey, simulation, and benchmark studies which address scalability and capitalization in e-finance/e-banking · Barriers to e-finance/e-banking adoption (by banks, by retail customers, and by corporate customers) · Cultural considerations which may differentiate e-finance/e-banking models in emerging markets from those in western countries · Data workflow management issues in e-finance/e-banking · Evaluation methodologies for e-finance/e-banking added value and effectiveness · Impact(s) of e-finance/e-banking on banks' information systems · Impact(s) of e-finance/e-banking on banks' marketing strategies · Impact(s) of e-finance/E-Banking on banks' organization · Impact(s) of e-finance/e-banking on customer behavior · Impact(s) of e-finance/e-banking on customer relationship · Impact(s) of e-finance/e-banking on multi-national banks' organization and development (headquarter point of view, branch point of view, and global/local regulators point of view) · Improving adoption factors of e-finance/e-banking in emerging countries · Risk management issues in e-finance/e-banking · Security and privacy issues in e-finance/e-banking implementation Submission To view the full guidelines for submission, click here <http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guide.asp>.
