Scope Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been around for more than half a century. It is only in recent years that this technology has begun to attract a lot of attention, due to the convergence of lower cost and increased capabilities of RFID tags. Currently, RFID is emerging as an important technology for revolutionizing a wide range of applications including supply chain management, retail, anti-counterfeiting, baggage handling, and healthcare. Many organizations are planning or have already exploited RFID in their main operations to take advantage of the potential of more automation, efficient business processes, and inventory visibility. While RFID provides promising benefits such as inventory visibility and business process automation, significant challenges on information systems and technologies need to be overcome before these benefits can be realized. This special issue will present the latest developments, trends, industrial applications, and research challenges for RFID technology. This issue will explore how organizations can gain competitive advantages by applying RFID technology in real-world settings. Submissions on studies which demonstrate RFID techniques for specific application problems are encouraged. Survey articles that emphasize research and application in a particular RFID domain are welcomed. Research areas of relevance would therefore include, but not only limited to, the following topics: * Data management issues in RFID applications * RFID and physical user interfaces * Security/privacy and RFID * RFID and sensor networks * Web services and RFID * RFID case studies, field trials, industrial applications * RFID middleware and Integration of RFID with other applications * Next generation RFID technologies and RFID standards * Commercial experience with RFID * RFID network management * COTS and Open Source RFID infrastructure * Performance evaluation of RFID systems and applications 2.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] BISE Issue 1/2011: IT Service Management and IT Automation – Call for Papers Datum: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:46:31 +0200 Von: Thomas Setzer <thomas.setzer(a)in.tum.de> An: seworld(a)cs.colorado.edu, isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org, ifip_nm(a)lists.utwente.nl, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de CALL FOR PAPERS ================ Business & Information Systems Engineering Journal (BISE), Special Issue 1/2011 on IT Service Management and IT Automation – Methods and Models for Efficient IT Operations (http://www.bise-journal.org <http://www.bise-journal.org/> > Call for Papers) Overview ------------ Over the last decade IT organizations have seen a significant increase in their service management cost. Juxtaposed with fairly constant costs for the actual physical IT infrastructure, the main challenges of IT departments and data centers can only be addressed by effective processes and technologies to reduce the efforts required to manage applications and services. In the past few years, we could observe how software-as-a-service providers such as Google or Salesforce.com provide standardized services to millions of users. This is only possible due to highly automated and effective IT service operations. The operations of traditional data centers and IT departments are different. They provide a large variety of heterogeneous applications to a comparatively small number of users. Furthermore, IT service management processes such as capacity, change, or service level management are often performed manually. Infrastructure-as-a-service providers such as Amazon EC2 have started to use virtualization technology and leverage economies of scale and IT automation, resulting in very competitive prices for service provisioning. Up until now, little academic literature deals with effective processes for IT service operations. Compared to established areas in IS and operations management such as data engineering, production and inventory management, IT service operations management does not yet have a solid body of methods and quantitative models for the management and automation of IT service operations. This special issue draws on research in computer science, information systems, and operations management. We are interested in new technologies, methods, and models for effective processes and efficient resource allocation in IT service operations. Papers that build quantitative methods and models and/or describe innovative, generalizable solutions in this area are welcome. Authors should employ a rigorous research methodology, including analytical modeling, simulation, and empirical work. Given the nature of the special issue, it is desirable for papers to demonstrate relevance to, and practicability for, IT service providers. Topics of Interest ------------------------ Contributions from research and business practice on the following (and related) topics are invited: Technical solutions for scalable IT solutions - Server and storage virtualization - Multitenancy - Parallel computing (e.g., MapReduce) - Cluster and grid computing Efficient resource allocation - Admission and overload control - Capacity management and performance modeling - Metering and monitoring - Management of virtualized IT infrastructures Process optimization and efficient operations - Change management and change request scheduling - Problem and incident management - Service portfolio management - Service level management Business models and pricing - Microeconomic models of cloud computing markets - Service pricing for infrastructure/platform/software-as-a-service Case studies Submission ----------------- Please submit papers by 2010-05-01 at the latest to Prof. Dr. Martin Bichler (bichler at in.tum.de).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP: 5. Konferenz Mobile und Ubiquitäre Informationssysteme (MMS 2010) im Rahmen der MKWI Datum: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:42:43 +0200 (CEST) Von: Markus.Bick(a)escpeurope.de Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; >> Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen - DANKE! << *5. Konferenz Mobile und Ubiquitäre Informationssysteme (MMS 2010)*: "Technologien, Anwendungen und Dienste zur Unterstützung von mobiler Kollaboration" ausgerichtet durch die GI-Fachgruppe MMS (http://www.gi-mms.de/) 23.-25. Februar 2010 Georg-August-Universität Göttingen im Rahmen der Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2010 *Call for Papers* *===============* Bereits zum fünften Mal soll die Konferenz "Mobile und Ubiquitäre Informationssysteme (MMS)" im Jahr 2010 stattfinden, davon zum dritten Mal im Rahmen der MKWI. Schwerpunktthema in diesem Jahr sind "Technologien, Anwendungen und Dienste zur Unterstützung von mobiler Kollaboration". Der rapide technische Fortschritt sowie die jüngsten Marktentwicklungen bei mobilen Endgeräten und deren Nutzung über mobile Datendienste eröffnen ein breites Spektrum kollaborativer Mehrwertdienste. Dies geht einher mit der zunehmenden Integration von zusätzlichen Technikkomponenten, wie z.B. RFID/NFC-Reader, GPS-Empfänger oder hochauflösenden Kameras. Eine breitbandige Konnektivität über unterschiedliche Netzwerke (UMTS, WLAN etc.) sowie höhere Auflösungen bei den Displays erlauben es, Mitarbeiter und Geschäftspartner in neu gestalteten Service-Prozessketten einzubinden. Darüber hinaus werden auch innovative Kollaborationsszenarien denkbar, die in dieser Form bislang nicht vorstellbar waren. So wird die Anwendungsvielfalt noch dadurch erweitert, dass zunehmend rein maschinelle Lösungen auf beiden Seiten der Kommunikationspartner entwickelt werden, die zu erheblichen Rationalisierungseffekten führen können (z.B. mobile monitoring / metering / payment / ticketing). Ziel des Tracks ist zum einen eine Bestandsaufnahme derartiger innovativer Entwicklungen sowohl aus der Forschung als auch aus der Industrie. Weiterhin sind Beiträge über die wirtschaftliche Bewertung und empirische Evaluation marktfähiger Lösungen sowie Betrachtungen zu Akzeptanz, Integrationsanforderungen und Limitationen aus aktueller Sicht eingeladen. Es werden Einreichungen zur gesamten Spannweite zwischen technisch orientierten Beiträgen, Abhandlungen zu geeigneten Geschäftsmodellen bis hin zu sozialwissenschaftlich orientierten Betrachtungen gewünscht. Auch bei den Anwendungsfeldern wird ausdrücklich eine große Breite angestrebt (z.B. m-government, mobile health care oder mobile web 2.0 incl. social networks). Über das Schwerpunktthema hinaus sind auch Beiträge willkommen, die sich unter anderen Aspekten mit der Thematik mobiler und ubiquitärer Informationssysteme beschäftigen. - Herausforderungen für die integrierte Unternehmenskommunikation durch mobile Kollaborationsplattformen - Geschäftsmodelle und Wirtschaftlichkeitsbetrachtungen sowie Wandel von Wertschöpfungsketten durch mobile Kollaboration - Marktpenetration und Benutzerakzeptanz mobiler Interaktion - Empirische Untersuchungen zur mobilen Kollaboration - Mobile Service-Prozessketten: innovative Konzepte und Fallstudien - Mobile Silent Commerce Szenarien (z.B. mobile monitoring) - Innovative Technologieansätze für mobile Kollaboration - Architektur und Implementierung mobiler Informationssystemen zur Unterstützung von Kollaboration - Mobile-integrierte Geschäftsprozesse - RFID-Anwendungen und ihre Prozessintegration - Ambient Intelligence in Arbeits-, Lern- und Freizeitprozessen - Unterstützung von Anwendungsklassen, wie: z.B. payment, ticketing oder couponing durch NFC - Mobile Messaging und Real Time Collaboration - Mobile Social Software und mobile Web 2.0 - Mobile LBS-Lösungen und ihre Prozessintegration - Personalisierungserfordernisse bei mobilen Kollaborationsdiensten - Sicherheitsanforderungen für mobile Kollaborationssysteme - Weitergehende Datenschutzanforderungen und Regelungen im Kontext mobiler Kollaborationslösungen - Potentiale, Prototypentwicklungen und Erfahrungsberichte von mobiler Kollaboration in spezifischen Anwendungsgebieten: Verwaltung,Gesundheitswesen, Tourismus usw. Ziel der 5. Konferenz Mobile und Ubiquitäre Informationssysteme (MMS 2010) ist es, ein Forum zu schaffen, dieses Spannungsfeld zwischen mobilen und ubiquitären Technologien, menschlicher Aktivität und geschäftlichen Wertschöpfungsketten zu untersuchen. So wie die Fachgruppe MMS es sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, die beteiligten Wissenschaftsgebiete zusammen zu bringen, so soll dies auch die Konferenz tun. Wir wollen untersuchen, wie sich diese unterschiedlichen Faktoren gegenseitig beeinflussen, wo im Detail die Herausforderungen sind und welche Lösungen für die mobile, ambiente und ubiquitäre Unterstützung Erfolg versprechend scheinen. *Leitung der Teilkonferenz:* -------------------------- Prof. Dr. Markus Bick, ESCP Europe Wirtschaftshochschule Berlin Dr. Stefan Eulgem, T-Mobile Deutschland GmbH Prof. Dr. Elgar Fleisch, Universität St. Gallen / ETH Zürich Prof. Dr. J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Content International Journal of Web Portals 1(3) Datum: Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:16:48 -0400 Von: Jana Polgar <jana.polgar(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Jana Polgar <jana.polgar(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Web Portals (IJWP) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 1, Issue 3, July-September 2009 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1938-0194 EISSN: 1938-0208 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijwp Editors-in-Chief: Jana Polgar, NextDigital, Melbourne, Australia Greg Adamson, University of Melbourne, Australia GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE �Driving into the Cloud�: Reflections on Importance of a Blended Learning Approach Paul Cooper, SMS, Australia Matthew Hodgson, SMS, Australia The authors view that a blended learning approach can be helpful whenever new systems are required to be deployed, an approach called �operational learning and change�. The essence is to take a benefits realization approach to systems usage, taking into account how each group of users, whether internal or external, is expected to use the system, and then design the most effective learning tools and process change paths to maximize system effectiveness. Ultimately, while there is a crave standardization within the enterprise for simplicity of management processes and practices, a one-size-fits-all approach does not �fit all�. Learning approaches, therefore, must reflect the variety of the environment, the needs of staff, and the richness and unique customization of the systems and tools themselves. The diversity of the Web environment must be taken into account as well. In the end, the ultimate challenge is to mirror the diversity of the deployed environment with appropriate learning tools to help simplify access to and manipulation of the Web resources. To read this guest editorial preface, please consult this issue of IJWP in your library INTRODUCTION Welcome From the Editors Jana Polgar, Editor-in-Chief, IJWP Greg Adamson, Editor-in-Chief, IJWP The fields of Web portals and service-oriented architecture generally today face two challenges: the impact of the international economic situation on enterprise appetite for new technology investment and the debate on whether SOA will meet its promise or has been oversold by its advocates. Contributions in this and our previous two issues have already begun to address these issues. With the third issue of the International Journal of Web Portals, readers can begin to form an opinion on these questions. To read this introduction, please consult this issue of IJWP in your library PAPER ONE Service Oriented Architecture Conceptual Landscape PART I Ed Young, Victoria University, Australia Contemporary architectural approach is for an orchestrated, agnostic, federated enterprise through the adoption of loosely-coupled open service interfaces. The service-oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm unifies disparate, heterogeneous technologies. It resurrects legacy technology silos with a service �face-lift� while maintaining their autonomy. Somewhat in its infancy as standards and methodologies are evaluated and adopted, the differences between theory and praxis of SOA remain to be fully determined, predominately due to the size and complexity of the conundrum it addresses.

Part I addressed how SOA is defined, its characteristics, evolution, motivation, and approach (Young, 2009). Part II concentrates on the technology of SOA particularly, semantics, representational state transfer (REST), object orientation (OO) and, operations and quality aspects.

The new capabilities of WebSphere Portal 6.1 are the outcome of a world-wide development team, which focused on this release for the past 2 years. During that time, major architectural enhancements have been introduced and a significant amount of code was written. In this article, the authors describe how developers and testers have adopted agile principles to collaborate across the globe. This article discusses in detail aspects like an iterative approach, test driven development, budget-based prioritization, and cross-organization teaming. The authors will also cover how �tiger teams� interact with customers by making early code drops available and responding to feedback.

Ideally, within large enterprises, capabilities would be used by solutions from a number of business units while matching the detailed requirements of each; this level of interoperability is difficult to achieve. While much of the current activity focuses on technical interoperability, the authors propose that the focus shift to business interoperability as the key consideration to bring clarity to the engineering aspects of technical interoperability. This article presents a model-driven architectural approach that views an organization�s business processes as structured assets requiring formalization. In addition, the authors also offers a new concept, the conceptual business service (CBS), which provides abstraction through modeling and promotes building a portfolio of navigable business services at the appropriate level of abstraction and granularity. Lastly, a method for specifying a CBS is outlined using reference domain meta-data allowing easier service solution recognition among other benefits.

Future-facing tool developers are addressing problems of orchestration to achieve the SOA promise. Most corporations, however, have not yet established either the services to be abstracted or the governance requirements around exposing those services, such as the right level of service granularity. This case study is based on recent experience in the utility and retail sectors. The drivers for each are compelling: a business-driven need for IT flexibility. The authors provide examples to show that customers in both sectors need to develop their architecture and governance before attempting to choose the right tools and examine the challenge of agile approach for SOA development.

This journal is also included in the IGI Global aggregated "InfoSci-Journals" database: www.infosci-journals.com. ***************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS IJWP is listed in the following indexes: Cabell�s, Getcited, Media Finder, Standard Periodicals Directory, Ulrich�s Periodicals Directory. ISSN: 1938-0194, EISSN: 1938-0208, Australian Research Council (Publication �C� at selected Universities); Mission of IJWP: The International Journal of Web Portals (IJWP) focuses on enterprise integration strategy that deals with the exchange of messages as the basic component of the solution architecture enabling the integration of people, information, applications and business processes. Portals are expected to care more about the infrastructure services they consume, which is a key architectural difference between the past and the future generations of portals and represent the paradigm shift in enterprise integration strategy. This paradigm shift focuses on identifying core integration components, assets, enterprise portals and encourages the reuse and refinement of these assets for integration projects. However, these topics are rarely discussed among the practitioners or in the international journals without primarily encouraging use of the solutions from particular vendors. It is important to establish a sounding board (international journal) which provides readers with an independent view of models for enterprise integration strategies, vendor independent tool sets, and the experience with the development of strategic solutions carried out within the context and rules of the enterprise's integration architecture. The readers are expected to benefit from having access to the latest practical solutions, as well as research papers in the field of integration approaches, the review of tools which can effectively and proactively support integration objectives across the enterprise. Coverage of IJWP: The journal seeks papers relevant to (but not limited to) the following topics: Business process integration and management using SOA and portals Case studies for using portals with content management systems Composite Web service in portal frameworks (creation and enabling infrastructure) Customization and portal user interface issues, multilingual portals E-commerce applications based on portals and SOA Evolution of B2E & B2B portals as windows into the enterprise, on demand services in portals Frameworks for building portal applications, development tooling, and development environments (e.g Portlet Factory, NetBean portal plug-in, and other tools) Frameworks for designing SOA solution with portal platforms, models, and modeling tools usage, efficiency, and usability Grid portals Managing development of portals & SOA solutions Mobile portals, mobile portal platform, and content management systems applied to mobile portals Portal architecture, research, and practical issues in portals, including mobile portal initiatives Portal security issues and single sigh-on Resource management in portals, performance issues, and administration issues Semantic Web services & federated portal architectures Web services for remote portlets (WSRP), performance, security, standards, WSRP extensions, and enhancements in UDDI WSRP role in business integration Interested authors should consult the journal's manuscript submission guidelines at www.igi-global.com/ijwp.
