Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: BISE Special Issue on IT Service Management and IT Automation
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: BISE Special Issue on IT Service Management and IT Automation Datum: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:04:31 +0100 Von: Martin Bichler <mar.bichler(a)googlemail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CFP: BISE Special Issue on IT Service Management and IT Automation* *BISE Special Issue IT Service Management and IT Automation – Methods and Models for Efficient IT Operations * 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. 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 for the sections BISE - Research Paper and BISE - State of the Art by 2010-05-01 at the latest via the journal's online submission system (*http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/*). Please observe the instructions regarding the format and size of contributions to Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) / WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HAIS'10-CFP - Special Session on Computational Intelligence for Recommender Systems Datum: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:13:41 -0800 (PST) Von: neveen ghali <nev_ghali(a)yahoo.com> An: hoche(a)borneo.ais.fraunhofer.de Dear colleague, We are in charge of organizing a special session on “Computational Intelligence for Recommender Systems (CIRS’2010)”. http://www.ehu.es/ccwintco/hais2010/specialsessions/SS02.html This session is organized as a part of The 5th International Workshop on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems (HAIS’10) 23rd -25th June, 2010, San Sebastián, Spain. http://www.ehu.es/ccwintco/hais2010 Recommender Systems (RS) are software applications that suggest useful and interesting items to users in their decision-making while interacting with large information spaces. They recommend items of interest to users based on preferences they have expressed, either explicitly or implicitly. The ever-expanding volume and increasing complexity of information on the Web has therefore made such systems essential tools for users in a variety of information seeking or various e-applications. RS help overcome the information overload problem by exposing users to the most interesting items, and by offering novelty, surprise, and relevance. Recommender technology is hence the central piece of the information seeking puzzle. Computational Intelligence (CI) paradigms reveal to be potential tools to face the Web uncertainty. In particular, CI techniques may be properly exploited to handle Web usage data and develop Web-based applications tailored on users' preferences. Recommended topics include but are not limited to the following: 1) Case studies of RS implementations 2) Context-aware and multidimensional RS 3) Evaluation of RS 4) Novel paradigms of RS 5) Recommendation algorithms 6) Recommendation in social networks 7) RS interfaces 8) Scalability issues 9) Security and privacy 10) Semantic web technologies for RS 11) Theoretical aspects of RS 12) User modeling and RS Authors are invited to submit a paper by February 15, 2010, through the online paper submission system http://www.ehu.es/ccwintco/hais2010/ Papers must be prepared according to the LNCS-LNAI style template <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0> and should ideally not exceed 8 pages, including figures and bibliography. Additional pages (over 8 pages) will be charged at 100 Euro each. /NOTICE: All papers must be submitted in electronic form (PDF format) through the link given below and must be prepared according to the //Springer LNCS style template/ <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0>/. /http://www.ehu.es/ccwintco/hais2010/ Important dates · February 15, 2010 Deadline for paper submission. · March 15, 2010 Acceptance/Rejection notifications. · April 11, 2010 Deadline for submission of final versions of papers We would appreciate very much if we could count on your support and also if you could divulge the special session among your co-workers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final CFP: IT Success Factors and Models in Developing and Emerging Economies Datum: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:58:55 -0500 Von: narcyz roztocki <roztockn(a)newpaltz.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Final Call for Papers Special Issue of the Journal of INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPMENT All Full Paper Submission are due February 1, 2010 Information Technology Success Factors and Models in Developing and Emerging Economies Tentative Publication Date: December 2010 Additional information about the special issue may be available at the special issue website at: http://www2.newpaltz.edu/~roztockn/itd2010.htm Information technology (IT) projects continue to suffer from frequent cost and time overruns and failure to fully deliver on the expected benefits to the users or the organization. Furthermore, what determines the success or failure of information technology implementations and use in developing and emerging economies may differ substantially from generally accepted success factors in highly developed countries. Developing economies are defined by low gross national income per capita, and are generally characterized by low standards of living, a weak industrial and commercial base, and a poor infrastructure. Still developing economies that exhibit robust, continual economic expansion, resulting in fast growing per capita income, and which have administrations that are dedicated towards developing the commercial base and improving the infrastructure are termed emerging economies. IT is generally considered to be a prime factor in the economic and national development of these regions. The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum for research and practice specifically directed at the factors and models that contribute to the success (or failure) of IT implementation and use for economic and national development in developing and emerging economies. Submitted papers, while focusing on specific success factors or exemplary models, must explain how the work makes a contribution to better understanding the role of IT in economic or national development, affecting people's lives and their communities, Submitted work will be evaluated for methodological soundness, empirical completeness, and academic rigor, as well as originality and interestingness. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following: - Organizational culture and IT success factors in developing or emerging economies - Factors and models that contribute to (or may inhibit) technology bringing about economic development - Case studies looking at successful (or failed) models of IT use in developing or emerging economies - Critical success factors in Web service adoption in developing or emerging economies - Differences in success perception of IT between developing/emerging and developed countries - Cultural factors and models in successful IT adoption and use in developing countries - Factors and models that may make IT a successful tool for achieving global competitiveness Special Issue Editorial Board: Niv Ahituv, Tel Aviv University, Israel Mito Akiyoshi, Senshu University, Japan Francis Kofi Andoh-Baidoo, University of Texas-Pan American, USA Anton Arapetyan, Ukrainian Catholic University, Ukraine Elizabeth Baker, Virginia Military Institute, USA Eszter Ágnes Bartis, Corvinus University, Hungary Sergey Butakov, Woosong University, Korea Paulo Rupino da Cunha, Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal Dorota Dobija, Kozminski University, Poland Anca Draghici, Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania Biswadip Ghosh, Metropolitan State College of Denver, USA G.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2010: Agent Based Information Systems Track CFP Datum: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:07:30 -0500 Von: Vijay Sugumaran <sugumara(a)oakland.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2010 - http://amcis2010.org/) Lima, Peru, August 12 - 15, 2010 TRACK: Agent-Based Information Systems (SIGABIS) Chair: Vijayan Sugumaran, Oakland University Complete Papers Due: March 1, 2010 This Track is sponsored by AIS Special Interest Group on Agent-Based Information Systems (SIGABIS). Best papers from this Track will be fast tracked for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (IJIIT). The purpose of this track is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners to identify and explore the issues, opportunities, and solutions related to semantic technologies and intelligent systems design, implementation, integration and deployment. An increasing number of artificial intelligence-based systems are being developed in different application domains employing a variety of tools and technologies. This track is intended to increase cross-fertilization of ideas from these domains, and share the lessons learned. Mini-Tracks ========= * Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining (Chair: Riyaz T. Sikora) * Intelligent Agent & Multi-Agent Systems and Semantic Web Applications (Co-chairs: Vijayan Sugumaran, Stefan Kirn) A brief description of each of the mini-tracks is given below. Mini-Track: Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining ======================================= Riyaz T. Sikora (co-chair SIGABIS) University of Texas at Arlington One of the side effects of the increase in connectivity and collaboration has been the phenomenal increase in the magnitude and volatility of the available data. Intelligent methods are now emerging as a way to deal with this staggering variety and volume of data in distributed and heterogeneous environments. This has become especially relevant since most large-scale information systems applications of today assume that components will be added dynamically and that they will be autonomous (serve different users or providers and fulfill different goals) and heterogeneous (be built in different ways). The mini-track on AI and DM provides a forum to bring together like-minded researchers, teachers, and practitioners to advance this important field. The AI/DM mini-track will seek research and applications highlighting the frontiers of new knowledge and advances in AI and DM. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Foundations of AI and DM * Machine Learning and Statistical Learning Algorithms * Data Mining * Pattern Recognition * Intelligent Agents * Heuristic Search * Intelligent Information Retrieval * Support Vector Machines * Web/Text mining * Intelligent Search Techniques * Reinforcement Learning Mini-Track: Intelligent Agent & Multi-Agent Systems and Semantic Web Applications =================================================================== Vijayan Sugumaran, Oakland University Stefan Kirn, Universität Hohenheim Intelligent agent and semantic technologies have been one of the most important and rapidly advancing areas in Information Technology. There is a tremendous explosion in the development of multi-agent systems and semantic web applications in a variety of fields such as electronic commerce, supply chain management, intelligent manufacturing, mass customization, information retrieval and filtering, decision support, simulation, and healthcare. While research on various aspects of intelligent agent and semantic technologies is progressing at a very fast pace, this is only the beginning. There are still a number of issues that have to be explored in terms of the design, implementation and deployment of multi-agent systems and semantic technologies. For example, salient characteristics of agents in different domains, formal approaches for agent-oriented modeling, ontology based information system, ontology engineering, semantic web for e-learning, and organizational impact of agent-based systems & semantic technologies are some of the areas in need of further research. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners to identify and explore the issues, opportunities, and solutions related to intelligent agent and semantic technology design, implementation, integration and deployment. Possible Topics (but not limited to): * Intelligent Applications in Business * Distributed Intelligent Systems * Agent architectures and behavior models * Models and architectures for agent-oriented information systems * Agent-oriented software engineering * Multi-agent systems and applications in various domains * Agent collaboration and coordination * Human and agent interaction models * Agent-based e-commerce applications * Semantic interoperability * Semantic web for e-business and e-learning * Service discovery, description, and composition * Semantic Web mining * Ontology creation, evolution, reconciliation, and mediation * Ontology mapping, Integration, and/or alignment * Software agents for Semantic Web * Innovative Semantic Web/Ontology applications * Semantic technologies and tools Best papers from both the mini-tracks will be fast tracked for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (IJIIT).
