Modern information systems are the result of the interconnection of systems of many organizations, are running in variable contexts, and require both a lightweight approach to interoperability and the capability to actively react to changing requirements and failures. In addition, users of information systems are becoming more and more mobile and ubiquitous, requiring the system to adapt to their varying usage contexts and goals. The evolution of an information system should be a continuous process rather than a single step, and it should be inherently supported by the system itself and the design of the information system should consider evolution as an inherent property of the system. The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE '2010 will shed light on this theme from various perspectives. Goal: CAiSE'2010 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of information systems engineering. CAiSE'2010 invites submissions on the design, development, maintenance, and usage of information systems - and especially submissions dealing with evolving information systems. Topics of interests include, but are not restricted to: Methodologies and approaches for IS engineering - Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling - Requirements engineering - Business process modelling and management - Simulation - Model, component, and software reuse - IS reengineering - IS engineering approaches for adaptive and flexible information systems - Service science - Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS engineering - IS in networked & virtual organizations - Method engineering Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering - Service-oriented architecture - Model-driven architecture - Component based development - Agent architecture - Distributed, mobile, and open architecture - Innovative database technology - Semantic web - IS and ubiquitous technologies - Adaptive and context-aware IS Engineering of specific kinds of IS: - eGovernment - Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, CRM) - Data warehousing - Workflow systems - Knowledge management systems - Content management systems Quality concerns in IS engineering - Knowledge, information, and data quality - Quality of models and their languages - Usability, security, trust, flexibility, interoperability IMPORTANT DATES: Tutorials & Workshops submission deadline: October 12, 2009 Papers submission deadline: NOVEMBER 30, 2009 Notification of acceptance: February 18, 2010 CAISE 2010 Conference & Workshops: June 7-11, 2010 TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS: We invite four types of original and scientific papers: o Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential - or, even better, the evaluated - benefits of the contribution. o Empirical evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. o Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. o Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to addressing the identified situation. SUBMISSION CONDITIONS: Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. The type of paper (technical/empirical evaluation/experience/exploratory paper) should be indicated in the submission. PUBLICATION: Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'2010 and published in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Information Systems Frontiers Special Issue on Terrorism Informatics, Extended Deadline 9/30 Datum: Sat, 12 Sep 2009 13:47:35 -0400 Von: Yilu Zhou <yzhou(a)gwu.edu> Antwort an: Yilu Zhou <yzhou(a)gwu.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers Special Issue on Terrorism Informatics Since September 11th, the multidisciplinary field of terrorism informatics has experienced tremendous growth, and research communities as well as local, state, and national governments are facing increasingly more complex and challenging issues. The challenges facing the intelligence and national security communities worldwide include accurately and efficiently monitoring, analyzing, predicting and preventing terrorist activities. The development and use of advanced information technologies, including methodologies, models and algorithms, infrastructure, systems, and tools for national/international and homeland security related applications have provided promising new directions for study. Terrorism informatics has been defined as the application of advanced methodologies, information fusion and analysis techniques to acquire, integrate process, analyze, and manage the diversity of terrorism-related information for international and homeland security-related applications. It is a highly interdisciplinary and comprehensive field. The wide variety of methods used in terrorism informatics are derived from Computer Science, Informatics, Statistics, Mathematics, Linguistics, Social Sciences, and Public Policy, and these methods are involved in the collection of huge amounts of many types of multi-lingual information from varied and multiple sources. Information fusion and information technology analysis techniques, which include data mining, data integration, language translation technologies, and image and video processing, play central roles in the prevention, detection, and remediation of terrorism. The purpose of this special issue is to bring together international researchers, engineers, policy makers, and practitioners working on terrorism informatics as well as related fields such as the organizational and social sciences. This special issue will outline the major challenges in supporting terrorism prevention, detection and response worldwide, as well as future perspectives on counterterrorism research in the information age. Topics The special issue will cover the scope of research relevant to terrorism informatics, including but not limited to the following topics: � Terrorism knowledge portals and databases � Terrorist incident chronology databases � Terrorism social network analysis, visualization and simulation � Terrorism analytical tools and methodologies � Terrorism data mining and text mining � Terrorism root cause analysis � Bioterrorism � Cyber terrorism � Forecasting terrorism � Countering terrorism � Impact of terrorism on society � National and international security and webmetrics � Web-based intelligence terrorism monitoring and event detection Important Dates � Submission deadline: September 30, 2009 � Notification of first round reviews: December 31, 2009 � Revised manuscripts due: March 31, 2009 � Final acceptance notification: June 30, 2010 � Submission of final paper: August 31, 2010 � Publication date: Fall 2010 Submission Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or LaTex format via http://www.editorialmanager.com/isfi/ no later than September 30, 2009 with the phrase - "submitted for consideration for the special issue of ISF on Terrorism Informatics."

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] ISM Special Issue on Servitizing IT Deadline Sept 15 with upload instructions Datum: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:55:52 -0400 Von: Sue Conger <sue.conger(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Sue Conger <sue.conger(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Information Systems Management -- Special Issue on Servitizing IT Important dates: Deadline for submission: September 15, 2009 Editorial decision to authors: November 1, 2009 Deadline for revisions: January 15, 2010 Submissions to Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/uism Guest Editor: Sue Conger, University of Dallas You are cordially invited to submit a complete, original, unpublished manuscript for the Information Systems Management Special Issue on Servitizing IT. IT's role in an organization is the cost-effective provision of IT services that focus on delivery of high-quality, low-cost IT services, and, hopefully, align with organizational strategy. IT Services has emerged as a strategic focus for industry. . Private industry is active in this space, with IBM, HP, and others selling both services and software to support IT services. Industry groups, such as ITSMF-USA, have active academic groups that have sponsored three academic fora at which academics learn about ITSM and how to develop course materials for teaching ITSM. In addition, the Association for Information Systems (AIS) special interest group for Services, SIG SVC, has over 40 charter members and expects about 90 members by the end of 2009. There are three current types of research that fall under the definition of IT Services: IT Service Management (ITSM) – focusing on spanning the gap between operations and development; Services Computing – focusing on technical delivery of software services, and Service Sciences Management and Engineering (SSME) – focusing on organizational servitization. The track co-chairs reflect these three genres. This track will encourage both research and education papers and panels. With all new ACM Curriculum guidelines that do not even include the word 'service' in relation to IT course work, it is appropriate that the profession begin to develop an understanding of this new discipline as an emerging direction in IT practice, research, and education. The following topics are suggested but other related topics will be considered: • Theoretical underpinnings of IT Servitization • Development and use of models for measuring IT Servitization • Maturity of IT Servitization in industry • The relationship between IT Servitization and ICT Governance • Frameworks and standards for IT Service Management (e.g., ITIL, ISO/IEC 20000) • Relationship and management of Services in the real (e.g., ITSM) and software worlds (e.g., SOA) • Critical success factors in IT Servitizing initiatives • Organization structure, roles and responsibilities for IT Servitization initiatives. • Intersections in IT Servitization (e.g., Governance with IT, Application Development with Operations, Operations with Marketing) • Education for IT Servitization Instructions for Authors The ideal length of the submissions is 7,500 words, but if justified, shorter and longer manuscripts will be considered. All submissions should follow the general guidelines of the journal as specified at www.tandf.co.uk/10580530. The manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the journal’s general policy; all reviews are double blind. Address questions to Dr. Sue Conger (sue.conger(a)gmail.com). Important dates: Deadline for submission: September 15, 2009 Editorial decision to authors: November 1, 2009 Deadline for revisions: January 15, 2010 Submissions to Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/uism -- Sue Conger University of Dallas Director, IT and IT Service Management Programs Ph: 214.850.6424 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP - International Conference on Organizational Learning, Knowledge and Capabilities Datum: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:21:08 -0400 Von: Michael Zack <m.zack(a)neu.edu> Antwort an: Michael Zack <m.zack(a)neu.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> First Call for Papers International Conference on Organizational Learning, Knowledge and Capabilities (OLKC 2010) 3-6 June 2010, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA OLKC is a leading international conference for researchers in the area of organizational knowledge and learning. The conference is international in scope, and inclusive of the wide range of intellectual perspectives that have helped to make organizational knowledge and learning one of the most vibrant areas for contemporary research and debate. We therefore welcome theoretical, empirical and combined contributions. The theme of the 2010 OLKC conference is �Learning to Innovate; Innovating to Learn.� The world economy in which we are living poses challenges that lead to a realization that �more of the same� will be difficult to sustain. Thus, innovation becomes a critical means for organizational success. Broadly defined, innovation can be related to organizational input, managerial process or organizational output. The OLKC community of scholars has already initiated dialogue that links its particular strengths to innovation issues. This conference aims to further that dialogue by attracting leading edge work that leverages the OLKC community�s in-depth understanding of learning and knowledge to better understand innovation. Our aim is to stimulate breakthrough research streams linking organizational learning, knowledge management and innovation. Regarding the MIS community, we encourage submissions that deal with the organization impacts of information technology applied to knowledge management, organizational learning, and innovation. Key Dates: Submission deadline for 800 word abstract: 15 November 2009; Authors will be advised of the abstract decision: 15 January 2010 Full papers of 5,000 to 7,000 words due: 15 April 2010 Abstracts and papers can be submitted at www.conftool.net/olkc2010 (Note: website will not be accepting submissions until the end of September.) Round table sessions To enable more interactive sessions, we plan to organize, next to regular paper presentations, round table sessions in which up to four related papers will be discussed interactively. To ensure high quality discussion, each session will be chaired by an experienced discussant and each participant of such a session will be asked to read all the session�s papers in advance. At the time of submission of your abstract(s) please indicate whether you would be willing to present your paper in a round table session instead of in a �regular� session. The conference organizers will allocate submissions as appropriate to meet the convention�s time and space constraints. Doctoral Consortium A one day pre-conference doctoral consortium will be held in collaboration with Queen�s University (Ontario) on Thursday evening, June 3nd through Friday, June 4th, 2009. The workshop will be chaired by Yolande Chan. Additional faculty will be announced by September 15, 2009. Further information can be found at http://www.cba.neu.edu/olkc2010 Teaching Workshop A one day pre-conference workshop for junior faculty will be held on Thursday evening, June 3nd through Friday, June 4th, 2009. The theme of the workshop will be Learning and Innovation in the Classroom. The workshop will be chaired by Russ Vince, Professor of Leadership and Change, University of Bath Further information can be found at http://www.cba.neu.edu/olkc2010 Publishing Opportunity Best papers from the conference will be eligible for publication in an issue of Management Learning or The International Journal of Intellectual Capital and Learning.

[Fwd: [isworld] JSIS Call for Papers: Managing Information and Knowledge in Interorganisational Networks]
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] JSIS Call for Papers: Managing Information and Knowledge in Interorganisational Networks Datum: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:11:47 -0400 Von: Lederer, Al <lederer(a)uky.edu> Antwort an: Lederer, Al <lederer(a)uky.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for papers Journal of Strategic Information Systems Special Issue Managing Information and Knowledge in Interorganisational Networks The most fundamental difference between a network and an organisation is perhaps the lack of a single authority to define goals and coordinate actions. Although all parties in a network are interested in advancing the competitiveness of the entire network, each party still seeks to ensure its own benefits. Absence of a single authority has led networks to employ a wide array of governance mechanisms such as trust, contracts, and authority. These mechanisms have intrigued researchers in many fields such as economics (Williamson 1985), strategic management (Capaldo 2007), organisation science (Adler 2001), marketing (Hakansson and Ford 2002), public administration (Provan 2008), and sociology (Castells 1996). Managerial attention in networks focuses primarily on the business aspects of collaboration ¨C what products and services will be exchanged or developed, what investments will be needed, and how profits and costs will be divided. Sometimes information technology is a key driver for initiating collaboration, and IT issues receive much attention. But more often, managers recognize only in later stages of collaboration that they need to exchange knowledge and information, and that they need IT platforms to support such exchange. Networks orchestrate their knowledge and information planning using decision processes that are largely hidden and laden with conflicting interests between different parties in the network. Knowledge is valuable and is not free; everyone must pay for integrating IT platforms and maintaining data. The critical and difficult task is to search for win¨Cwin arrangements for sharing costs and benefits. The inability to maintain agreements about information and knowledge exchange, either formal or informal, will jeopardise the efficiency and innovation capabilities of the entire network. Researchers in fields such as interorganisational systems, e©\business, e©\health, and e©\government have acknowledged that information and knowledge sharing in networks holds special challenges. Research has shown that many contextual variables affect the choices among relational, contractual, and hierarchic approaches to IT governance in networks (e.g., Kumar and van Dissel, 1996; Howard et al., 2006). Research has also shown that networks typically evolve through different stages, and that decision©\making approaches may differ depending on the stage (e.g., Volkoff et al. 1999; Kurnia and Johnston 2000; Andersson et al. 2008). Further research on this topic is, however, clearly needed. This special issue focuses on the IS decision©\making processes in interorganisational networks. Submitted papers should emphasise the managerial processes networks use to coordinate and control the exchange of knowledge and information within the network. Key management issues that the papers could address include but are not limited to: * How do organisations agree upon the sharing of business information and knowledge? * How do they make joint decisions on IT investments, standards, and other IT©\related collaborations to support the exchange of information and knowledge? * How are these decisions aligned with the broader network©\level business agreements and strategies? * What roles do trust, contracts, and power play in agreeing to knowledge and information exchange and enforcing such decisions? * How can network champions promote trust and sharing of knowledge during network relationships? * How do contextual variables inside and outside the network influence the negotiation processes and outcomes? We will consider all types of papers that clearly contribute to the research on information and knowledge exchange in interorganisational networks. However, papers that contribute to the managerial aspects of the topic will take priority in the review process. We welcome empirical papers that test existing theories or build new ones: variance theories that explain success of knowledge exchange in different types of networks, or process theories that explain how the exchange of information and knowledge evolves in individual networks (Markus and Robey 1988). We also welcome papers that draw from different background theories and/or summarise theories and results from prior research on interorganisational systems and IT governance in networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Participation Workshop "MDD, SOA and IT-Management (MSI 2009)" Datum: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:01:25 +0200 Von: Jan Stefan Addicks <jan.stefan.addicks(a)offis.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ======================================================================== Call for Participation Workshop "MDD, SOA and IT-Management 2009" organised by OFFIS - Institute for Information Technology and the GI-Fachgruppe "Software-Architektur" October, 6th and 7th 2009 OFFIS, Oldenburg _http://www.msi2009.de_ <http://www.msi2008.de/> ======================================================================== Motivation ========== Model-driven software development (MDD), service-oriented architectures (SOA) and enterprise architectures (EA) are current topics, intensely discussed both in industry and science. Individually, each concept represents a considerable contribution to professional software development and to enterprises' IT management alone. Combined however, strong interrelations can be discovered, raising the hope of synergy. A service-oriented architecture, for example, is a typical target architecture in model-driven software development whereas an appropriate documentation of an enterprise architecture can provide initial domain-specific models for use by model-driven transformations. In its third instalment, the workshop "MDD, SOA, and IT-Management" gives experts adept in model-driven development, service-oriented architectures and enterprise architectures the opportunity to bring together current research results and real-world requirements of IT management as well as a chance to discuss future challenges common to these topics. Registration ============ Please register for the workshop at _http://www.msi2009.de/_. The registration fee will be 75 EUR (50 EUR for GI members). Developer Day ============== In conjunction with MSI there will be a developer day on "Practice- oriented application scenarios for model-driven development" on October, 7th and 8th. The developer day will be in german.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] TOC: Latest Issue of the International Journal of Virtual Communities and Social Networking (IJVCSN) Datum: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:48:54 -0400 Von: Subhasish Dasgupta <dasgupta(a)gwu.edu> Antwort an: Subhasish Dasgupta <dasgupta(a)gwu.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Here are the contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Virtual Communities and Social Networking (IJVCSN) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 1, Issue 3, July-September 2009 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1942-9010 EISSN: 1942-9029 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA http://www.igi-global.com/ijvscn Editor-in-Chief: Subhasish Dasgupta, George Washington University, USA Special issue: Formation and Dynamics of Virtual Communities Special Issue Editor: Krzysztof Juszczyszyn, Wrocław University of Technology, Poland GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE Formation and Dynamics of Virtual Communities Krzysztof Juszczyszyn, Wrocław University of Technology, Poland This special issue of IJVCSN is devoted to computational technologies boosting the creation of Internet-based social networks and communities. In recent years, we have experienced rapid development in the area of advanced groupware and social software frameworks. It has become obvious the impact dynamic changes in virtual communities have on performance, service quality, and function properties of information systems and cannot be neglected. The structure and internal organization of virtual communities determines the resource consumption patterns, their temporal changes, and predicts future behavior. Cooperation between community members appears to be a key factor in various knowledge management and problem-solving tasks. In this issue, the authors focus on dynamic processes, which underline wide spectrum of phenomena emerging in virtual networks–from knowledge and resources management issues, formation of trust networks to practical applications in real-life business s cenarios. Six interesting papers discuss the above issues and attack different, formal, and practical challenges met in virtual communities of different sizes and origins. To read the guest editorial preface, please consult this issue of IJVCSN in your library. PAPER ONE Measuring Similarity of Interests for Clustering Taggers and Resources Christo Dichev, Winston-Salem State University, USA Jinsheng Xu, NC A&T, USA Darina Dicheva, Winston-Salem State University, USA Jinghua Zhang, Winston-Salem State University, USA Collaborative tagging systems demonstrate the potential to generate collectively built organization structures forming the basis for social navigation and shared knowledge. The effectiveness of these systems for finding and re-finding information depends not only on the created tag structures but also on the ability to identify similar users. In this article, the authors present a study on measuring user similarity, based on shared interests and utilizing data from del.icio.us. This article proposes several methods for measuring similarities aimed at clustering tags and users and reports initial results related to implicit grouping of tags and users.

Maintaining local vocabularies while realizing distributed access is a challenge that most organizations face regularly. For several years, the Semantic Web community has been developing algorithms for mapping data models (ontologies). Nevertheless, ontology mapping remains to be a great challenge, and humans are always expected to verify the results of existing automatic mapping tools. The spread of social Web demonstrate the possibility of using collaborative techniques for reaching consensus and fostering user participation. In this article, the authors describe an approach that combines off-the-shelf ontology mapping tools with social software techniques to enable users to collaborate on mapping ontologies.

Breslin, National University of Ireland, Ireland Stefan Decker, National University of Ireland, Ireland Classic argumentative discussions can be found in a variety of domains from traditional scientific publishing to today’s modern social software. An interactive argumentative discussion usually consists of an initial proposition stated by a single creator and followed by supporting propositions or counter-propositions from other contributors, usually part of the same virtual community. Thus, the actual argumentation semantics is hidden in the content created by the contributors. In this article, the authors describe an abstract model for argumentation, which captures the semantics independently of the domain. Following a modularized approach, the authors also take into account additional important aspects of the argumentation and present a possible use of the framework in the context of virtual communities.

Each organization performing its quotidian tasks use involuntary established trust relations to estimate the probability of achieving the expected results or level of confidentiality. As in societies that evolve from real world relationship (e.g. school, office, sport activity, etc.) to virtual communities (e.g. chat rooms, Web boards, mailing lists, etc.), trust is one of the most fundamental types of binding among the group members. In this article, the author investigates the trust relation establishment and evolution in virtual communities and presents a model using some typical parameters like node degree and centrality coefficient related to social network description and analysis.

While delivering services on the individual basis, the network effects exerted from customer-to-customer interactions remain virtually unexplored and unexploited. The focus of this article is on customer churn, where social network effects are widely ignored yet may play a vital role in revenue protection. The authors evaluate the direction and strength of this impact by direct measurements of the total neighborhood value of the churning customer along with other standard social network measures taken before and after the churn event.

Electric energy generated from ecologic sources brings some unpredictability. The authors model the unpredictability of the distributed generation in order to create a tool for minimization. This article proposes a novel method to build real-life smart micro grids in the distributed generation context characterized by zero emissions. The proposed tool becomes an instrument to create the social aggregation of users and negotiate locally the “social” energy in real time.
