-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2010 Minitrack on Business Intelligence Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 11:02:08 -0700 Von: Benjamin Shao <Benjamin.Shao(a)asu.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for Cross Posting -------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers AMCIS Mini-track: Business Intelligence (Part of SIGDSS Track) 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) August 12-15, 2010 Lima, Peru Description: The goal of business intelligence (BI) is to summarize massive amounts of disparate corporate data into succinct information that can help managers better understand their business processes, make informed decisions, and improve organizational efficiency. BI, for example, gives managers the ability to amalgamate enterprise-wide data into specific metrics that link customer service objectives to the performance of the sales force. In today's strapped economy, accurate real-time BI metrics are even more critical for measuring and managing business performance. Many technologies contribute to BI solutions, including databases, data warehouses, data marts, analytic processing, and data mining, among others. BI acquires data from multiple platforms and provides ubiquitous access. This presents numerous technical and managerial challenges. Among these challenges are data warehouse development methodologies, data consolidation from multiple sources, web integration, data visualization, real-time business metrics, data-mining applications, and issues related to securing and protecting data, infrastructure and the resulting intelligence. This mini-track aims to promote innovative research in these BI domains. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): * Real-time business metrics (such as performance measurements) * Supporting the "balanced scorecard" * Using the warehouse to create "digital dashboards" * Data warehouse development * Data mart development * Critical success factors for data warehouse implementation * Data mining techniques (neural networks, genetic algorithms, decision trees) * Analytical processing * Customer profiling * Visualization techniques for enterprise data * Techniques for summarizing data * End user queries and query languages * Meta-data management * Integration of legacy data (transformation of data) * Assessing data warehouse performance * Considerations for the web-based data warehouse * Integration of web services with the data warehouse * Information extraction and report generation * Real-time decision making Important Dates: March 1, 2010 - Deadline for paper submissions. April 12, 2010 - Notification of acceptance of papers. April 26, 2010 - Final paper due.

Fwd: [computational.science] CFP - 2nd International Workshop on Benchmarking of Database Management Systems and Data-Oriented Web Technologies
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP - 2nd International Workshop on Benchmarking of Database Management Systems and Data-Oriented Web Technologies Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 10:43:27 +1100 Von: Eric Pardede <E.Pardede(a)latrobe.edu.au> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> 2nd International Workshop on Benchmarking of Database Management Systems and Data-Oriented Web Technologies (BenchmarX'10) - April 4, 2010 - Tsukuba, Japan http://ulita.ms.mff.cuni.cz/ws/benchmarx10/ to be held in conjunction with DASFAA 2010 http://dasfaa2010.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/ The successful first year of the workshop (BenchmarX'09) was devoted to benchmarking of XML and Semantic Web applications. However, since the amount of related approaches is wide and, at the same time, new technologies occur while the obsolete ones vanish, the general strategy of BenchmarX is to extend and modify the target areas and topics to follow the modern trends. XML still is one of the most common data formats, however, there are applications that are not based on it or use it only marginally. On the other hand, Semantic Web is only part of a bigger research area of web technologies oriented on data. Hence, this year we want to go beyond the borders of pure XML and Semantic Web. BenchmarX'10 is aimed at benchmarking (and related issues) of all stages of data processing in the context of up-to-date database management systems and data-oriented web technologies in general. Typical (but not the only) representatives of such applications and technologies can be web services and semantic web services, Web 2.0 applications, social networks etc. Similarly, new data types, such as data streams, sensor data or imprecise/uncertain data, triggered proposal and implementation of new strategies for their storage, processing and management that need to benchmarked, tested and compared specifically. Even though data management and data-oriented applications are involved in topics of many conferences around the world, the community dealing with benchmarking of such applications and related issues is still scattered. The aim of BenchmarX is to bring it together and provide a platform for common discussion of all the related topics. We invite submission from both research and industrial communities dealing with different theoretical and applied aspects of benchmarking of database management systems and data-oriented web applications. Areas of interests include, but are not limited to: - Benchmarking: * Benchmark projects and suites * Benchmarking metrics, criteria and methodologies * Analysis and/or comparison of performance of selected applications * Experiences and lessons learned * Exploitation of benchmarking results - Gathering of testing data: * Data synthesis * Inference of schemas, integrity constraints etc. * Data/operation repositories - Real-world requirements: * Analysis of real-world data, operations etc. * Evolution of real-world data * Synthetic vs. real data * Specific requirements of real-world applications Important Dates * Abstract and paper submission: January 8, 2010 (final deadline!!!) * Author notification: February 2, 2010 * On-site paper deadline: February 16, 2010 * Camera-ready paper submission: April 26, 2010 * Author registration: To be specified... * Workshop: April 4, 2010 * Main conference: April 1 - 4, 2010 Organizers * Jiri Dokulil, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic * Irena Mlynkova, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic * Martin Necasky, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic Program Committee Chairs * Martin Necasky, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic * Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Australia Program Committee * Radim Baca, Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic * Geert Jan Bex, Hasselt University, Belgium * Martine Collard, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France * Sven Hartmann, Clausthal University of Technology, Germany * Agnes Koschmider, Institute AIFB, Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany * Kazuhiro Inaba, National Institute of Informatics, Japan * Michal Kratky, Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic * Sebastian Link, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand * Sebastian Maneth, University of New South Wales, Australia * Alexander Paar, Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany * Incheon Paik, The University of Aizu, Japan * Sherif Sakr, University of New South Wales, Australia * Dmitry Shaporenkov, University of Saint-Petersburg, Russia Proceedings Authors should submit papers reporting original works that are currently not under review or published elsewhere. The paper should be submitted in PDF format, with maximum length twelve (12) pages, following Springer-Verlag's LNCS manuscript submission guidelines, available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The review process will be two-round. During the first round each paper will be reviewed by 2-3 PC members for its technical merit, novelty and relevance to the workshop. On the basis of the reviews the PC chairs will prepare the list of accepted, borderline and rejected papers. During the second round the PC members will be asked to comment the list as well as all reviews. On the basis of this discussion the PC chairs will make the final decision. All papers accepted by BenchmarX'10 will be published in a combined volume of Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series published by Springer in the form of conference post-proceedings. At the workshop site, informal on-site proceedings will be handed out as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.iccsa.org For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.iccsa.org

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP EASST 2010, TRACK: DIGITAL GAME PLAY AS SOCIOTECHNICAL PRACTICE Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 12:22:50 +0000 Von: Stefano De Paoli <stefano.depaoli(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Apologies for cross-postings. Please circulate it to interested colleagues and students. Thanks! ************************************************************************************************************* EASST Conference 2010, European Association for the Study of Science and Technology 'Practicing Science and Technology, Performing the Social,' University of Trento, Italy, 2-4 September 2010. Abstract submission deadline: 15 March 2010. http://events.unitn.it/en/easst010 ************************************************************************************************************** TRACK: DIGITAL GAME PLAY AS SOCIOTECHNICAL PRACTICE The Digital Game industry has become one of the fastest growing, innovative and globalised industries in advanced Western economies and Digital Games have become a key cultural artefact and leisure practice in contemporary societies. Developing out of the American military industrial and academic complex in the 1970s the study of Digital Games design and play is the study of a range of sociotechnical practices and the negotiations between a range of human and non-human actors operating within systems of rules. The complexity of these relationships brings forth a series of questions that can be investigated using Science and Technology Studies approaches. However, to date games studies, with few exceptions, have failed to adopt STS approaches and the STS community has largely ignored this area of study. This track seeks to develop the relationship between the game studies community and the STS community. Several research questions can be used to guide this: What STS theories can be used to understand Digital Games as sociotechnical phenomenon? Is the concept of practice and the practice-based approach useful to investigate Digital Games? Is there a relationship between power as inscribed and imposed by artefacts and the technical dimensions of Digital Games? What rules are inscribed into Digital Games technologies and what social worlds do these rules describe? What contribution can the study of Digital Games make to the STS discipline at large? And what contribution can an STS approach make to game studies? Can we foresee an after-method approach for Digital Games? We invite papers that tackle the sociotechnical dimensions of Digital Games and address some of the questions outlined above. Contributions might include (but are not restricted to): • Digital Games as material semiotic artefacts • Digital Games as sociotechnical assemblages • The mess of digital games • Innovation in game design as actor-networking and social shaping • Digital Game design and/or play as performance and practice • Disruptive sociotechnical users’ practices (e.g. hacking, modding) • The scripting of gendered gaming practices • Governance and regulation of gaming practices Abstracts of no more than 500 words should be sent by email (following website instructions: http://events.unitn.it/en/easst010/abstract-submission) by 2010 March 15th.

Best papers will be published in a Special Issue of the International Journal of E-Government Research (IJEGR) Description: The management of public services involve planning and implementing various policies in order to solve diverse and complex problems caused by social and economic contexts. Research suggests that one of the most challenging areas of information systems is that of supporting decisions for policy planning and implementation in the public sector. The modern public sector in particular is in a continual state of flux, attempting to balance the needs of the citizens (or customers) with the needs of an increasingly 'big business' orientation. In all these walks of life, information systems (IS) are considered essential, core to the effective provision of service and ongoing function of the organisation. In an increasingly e-business influenced market environment, public institutions such as healthcare, social services, education and employment struggle with the need to balance issues such as transparency and opaqueness, or social inclusion and professionalism. At the same time the media are eager to show that there are plenty of problems in these sectors, especially with large scale implementations of IS. A prime example of such a scenario is the case of electronic government where IS plays a major role in transforming and e-enabling traditionally bureaucratic public services. From an organisational perspective, the conceptual shift and change of culture that this type of IS resultant change may introduce to these types of enterprises are certainly more of a human and social dimension rather than technical. While there are clear technical challenges, this track aims to focus on the non-technical, or social aspects of public sector information systems, which are arguably more difficult to identify and hence more difficult to deal with. Through the exploration and discussion of these issues, this mini-track aims to build a picture of these challenges and begin to focus on developing appropriate solution spaces for future developments. Suggested topics: . Social, cultural, organisational and human factors influencing the adoption of information systems in public sector agencies . Case studies of public sector information systems implementation projects . Comparative studies (ie. between sectors, countries, cultures, etc.) of public sector information systems . Development, implementation, control and maintenance of public sector systems. . Evaluation of public sector information systems . Relevant theories, conceptual models and frameworks for public sector information systems . Innovative applications and best practices in public sector systems . Evaluation of methodologies, approaches, tools and techniques used for designing and implementing public sector Information Systems . Overview studies of approaches to public sector systems development . Public sector and social inclusion/exclusion . Socio-economic factors influencing public sector systems adoption / diffusion . The tension between the need for transparency and opaqueness of public sector systems . Transformational public sector information systems Papers Due: 26 February 2010 (11:59 PM PST)
