With an acceptance rate in previous editions at around 13% the conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality, from a mix of disciplines including Computer Science, Management Information Science, Services Computing, Services Science, and Technology Management. This year’s conference will continue with the broad-based themes of previous editions, and strives to strengthen and expand in several key directions . The conference encourages emerging research on new conceptual models for BPM that attempt to unify core aspects of BPM, including process management, data management, business rules and requirements, and analytics. The conference also encourages the increasing interest in applying established and new techniques, such as model-driven architectures, Web services and Web architectures, SOA, and Cloud Computing, to the specific challenges of BPM. In this context, the conference is also looking for contributions on implementation techniques and details for process or Web service execution engines with focus on new application areas. Finally, the conference seeks to attract papers that highlight the pervasive need for BPM capabilities across application areas outside of business management, including healthcare delivery, digital government, disaster management, and management of scientific and other academic endeavors, and that highlight how new techniques can solve the distinctive challenges arising in those diverse areas. Awards will be given to the best papers in different categories. BPM 2011 will be held in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and will be organized by the LIMOS Laboratory (http://www.isima.fr/limos/), CNRS, Université Blaise Pascal. The conference will take place at the campus des cezeaux which is located about minutes from the city center. Clermont-Ferrand is a medium-sized city located in the heart of Auvergne, one of the most beautiful regions of France: ancient volcanoes, lakes and gorges, historic sites and Romanesque architecture make its wealth. Information about the venue and local area are provided on the conference website: http://bpm2011.isima.fr/ . Research topics include, but are not limited to: MODELING AND THEORY OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND PROCESSES Process modeling languages, notations and methods Data-aware and data-centric approaches to BPM Reference process models Variability and configuration of process models Process simulation and static analysis Automated process composition and synthesis Process metadata and semantic reasoning Process patterns and standards Foundations of business process models Security and Privacy aspects in business process modeling PROCESS ARCHITECTURES AND PLATFORMS Process-oriented software architectures Service-oriented architectures for BPM Workflow management systems and infrastructure Security and Privacy aspects of business process execution Automated planning for business process execution Resource management in business process execution Process componentization and component repositories Distributed process execution Cloud computing in support of BPM MANAGEMENT OF PROCESS EXECUTION DATA Models and theory of workflow as data Process tracing and monitoring Dynamic process analysis and Process performance measurement Process mining and learning Process data warehousing Data streaming in business processes PROCESS EVOLUTION AND FLEXIBILITY Process exception handling Process change management Monitoring and provenance across change Adaptive and context-aware processes Case handling Process-enhanced groupware HUMAN-CENTRIC BPM People-intensive processes User-centric aspects of BPM design User-centric aspects of process management and use Cross-organizational processes Globally distributed process management Integrating strategy, process, people and IT Task sourcing through social networks NON-TRADITIONAL BPM SCENARIOS Knowledge-intensive processes Data-driven business processes Distributed and mobile processes Inter-process planning and coordination Scientific processes / grid workflows MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES Business process lifecycle management Relationship of business strategy and business process Success factors and measures in BPM BPM governance and compliance management BPM Maturity Adoption and Practice of BPM Case Studies and Experience Reports in BPM BPM in support of business networks ================================= Conference Paper Submission ================================= BPM 2011 invites research submissions on all topics related to business process management, including but not limited to those listed above. Research papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system at 13 March 2011. Initial submissions must be received no later than 6 March 2011 (including at least title and abstract). Final papers must be submitted by 13 March 2011. Submission details and formatting instructions are given at the website. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in their LNCS series. For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference and should plan to present the paper. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue Information Systems (an Elsevier Science Journal). Additional Conference Activities The BPM 2011 conference will include a diverse set of tracks and activities in addition to the main research track. As with previous editions of the conference, there will be several associated workshops that explore newly emerging approaches, methods, and technologies in the BPM space. All or most of these workshops will be held on 29 August 2011. The Demo Track will showcase new, innovative systems that illustrate key BPM functionalities. The proceedings of the workshops, and short papers describing the demos, will be published in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). The Industrial Experiences track aims at bridging the viewpoints of leading research outcomes with practical demands and industrial experience; practitioners are encouraged to submit papers reporting on innovative industrial implementations and applications of BPM methods and techniques, with a particular emphasis on their impact on information technology use or business practice. The conference will include tutorials on cutting-edge frameworks and associated principled techniques for solving BPM challenges. There are plans for a Doctoral Consortium, that will provide students in advanced stages of their dissertation work an opportunity to share their research with peers, world-class researchers, and industry experts in Business Process Management. Finally, a summer school directly following the main conference is envisioned. ================================= Preliminary conference schedule ================================= Abstract submissions: 6 March 2011 Final paper submissions: 13 March 2011 Notification of acceptance: 13 May 2011 Camera-ready papers: 12 June 2011 Doctoral Symposium: 28 August 2011 Workshops + industry day: 29 August 2011 Conference: 30 August - 1 September 2011 Summer school: 2 September, 2011 -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

cf -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP interPM 2011 Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 03:33:53 +0100 From: Gerrit Kerber <gerrit.kerber(a)aragon-interactive.de> To: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS interPM 2011 GPM Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e.V. Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. Fachgruppe WI-PM Projektmanagement laden zur gemeinsamen Veranstaltung Konferenz zur Zukunft im Projektmanagement Neu denken: vom Projekt-zum Netzwerkmanagement 20.-21. Mai 2011 Glashütten/Ts. bei Frankfurt am Main Ziele der Konferenz Die interPM ist eine interdisziplinäre Konferenz, bei der Vertreter unterschiedlicher Berufsgruppen zu einem Dialog über die Weiterentwicklung des Projektmanagements (PM) zusammenkommen. Das Ziel ist, Ansätze und Methoden des PM aus der Perspektive verschiedener Disziplinen (z.B. Betriebswirtschaftslehre, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Informatik, Psychologie und Soziologie) mit Experten aus Wirtschaft, Forschung und Beratung kritisch zu reflektieren, neu zu denken, zusammenzubringen, um so etwas Neues, Fruchtbares, Nützliches für die Praxis entstehen zu lassen. In Form und Inhalt ist die »interPM« ein lebendiger Ort der Diskussion, des Gedanken- und Erfahrungsaustausches und keine reine Vortragsveranstaltung. Sie bietet ein Forum für Fachleute aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, die Grenzen der eigenen Disziplin überschreiten und andernorts praktizierte Arbeitsformen finden wollen, um diese auf ihre Tauglichkeit in der eigenen Arbeit überprüfen und umsetzen zu können. Leitthema 2011: Neu denken: vom Projekt- zum Netzwerkmanagement Netzwerke liegen im Trend. Die Unternehmen organisieren ihre Leistungsprozesse in Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken und sichern die Zukunft über branchen- und länderübergreifende Innovationsnetzwerke. Beim Informationsaustausch und der Kommunikation haben sich soziale Netzwerke etabliert, bei denen die Grenzen zwischen beruflicher und privater Nutzung verwischen. Die Trends in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft finden auch im Projektmanagement ihren Niederschlag. Im Projektmanagement ist zunehmend Netzwerkmanagement gefordert. Die Projektarbeit erfolgt längst in vernetzten Strukturen und muss verschiedene Ausprägungsformen der Vernetzung der beteiligten Partner und Unternehmensbereiche sowie auch der im Projekt beteiligten Mitarbeiter Rechnung tragen. Die zunehmende Vernetzung führt auch zu neuen Herausforderungen wie die Klärung der Frage der Leadership in kooperativen Projekten, dem Umgang mit der gestiegenen Komplexität (Innovation und Effizienz statt mehr Bürokratie) oder Fragen der Kommunikationskultur sowie der Urheberrechte in Innovationsclubs. Konferenzverlauf Die Konferenz bietet Fachvorträge mit Diskussionen sowie Open Space Workshops und Fishbowl-Sessions für den intensiven Erfahrungsaustausch. Im Mittelpunkt stehen ein fachübergreifender Dialog zwischen den Teilnehmern und die Vernetzung, auch über die Veranstaltung hinaus. Die Konferenz will folgende Fragestellungen und Themen adressieren: - Projekte im Kontext von Netzwerken verstehen ? welche Chancen und Herausforderungen ergeben sich für die Unternehmen, welche Bedeutung haben die Netzwerke der Projektbeteiligten für den Projekterfolg? - Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke und Supply Chains ? welche Aufgaben kommen über den Lebenszyklus der unternehmensübergreifenden Kooperationen auf die Projektmanager zu? - Innovationsnetzwerke ? wie hilft das Projektmanagement das Innovationspotenzial zu erschließen und Differenzierungsaspekte im Wettbewerb zu sichern? - Vernetztes Arbeiten in und im Umfeld von Projekten ? welche Informations- und Kommunikationsmedien sind im Zeitalter des Web 2.0 unerlässlich, wie sind diese praktisch zu gestalten, was ist zu regeln? - Arbeitsplatz des Projektmitarbeiters ? welche Tools unterstützen die Arbeitssituation des Projektmitarbeiters, wozu dient ein virtueller Projektraum? - Vielzahl und Vieldeutigkeit von Strukturen, Methoden, Tools und Kulturen in vernetzten Projekten ? zerstört eine erzwungene Vereinheitlichung die kreative Kraft und Motivation, welchen Nutzen hat ein Project Management Office in Netzwerken und wie ist dies zu gestalten? - Internationale Vernetzung in Projekten ? wie können die Potenziale der kulturellen Vielfalt erschlossen werden, wann und wie muss eine regionale Lösungsdifferenzierung bereits im Projekt vorbereitet werden? Einreichung von Beiträgen Es sind Beiträge aus Wissenschaft und Praxis erwünscht, insbesondere interdisziplinäre und integrierte Ansätze, Erkenntnisse aus Studien und Forschungsprojekten sowie Erfahrungsberichte und Praxisbeispiele. Weitere Informationen: www.interpm.de oder info(a)interpm.de Autorenhinweise Für die Bewertung und Auswahl der Vortragsangebote benötigen wir aussagefähige Abstracts.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] ECIS 2011: Call for Papers: BPM Track Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 06:30:43 +1000 From: Michael Rosemann <m.rosemann(a)qut.edu.au> To: Wirtschaftsinformatik <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS Track "Business Process Management" _http://www.ecis2011.fi/ _ at the 19th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2011) Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-11, 2011 _http://www.ecis2011.fi _ Business Process Management (BPM) can be defined as the set of concepts, methods and tools dedicated to the definition, implementation, improvement and structuring of processes in organizations. It emerged as a combination of mature organizational concepts (BPR, Six Sigma, TQM) and process- supporting technologies such as workflow management, BPM systems and service-enabled solutions. The use of business process automation promises significant efficiency gains for organizations through the coordination of activities, process participants and the integration of applications. The high demand for BPM is grounded in the ongoing pressure to improve operational efficiencies, opportunities related to process outsourcing/off-shoring and the interest in process standards such as ITIL and SCOR. Not surprisingly, global analysts such as the Gartner Group have identified Business Process Management as the number one priority of CIOs for the last seven years. While a large body of knowledge related to modeling, simulating and executing business processes exists, BPM has hardly been subjected to 'classic' Information Systems questions. Such questions go beyond the design of BPM systems and surround the adoption, use, and implications of BPM approaches and technologies in organization. The proposed BPM track will encourage the wider adoption of Information Systems research in the increasingly popular and important domain of BPM. In alignment with the overall topic of the conference, the proposed track will focus topics such as - Success factors and measures of BPM - BPM adoption models - BPM governance - Business process innovation - Business process outsourcing - Process-aware Information Systems - Inter-organizational BPM - Process performance measurement - BPM in different industries - Process reference models The proposed track will explicitly encourage research using a wide variety of papers covering quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments and Design Science. Types of Contributions The proposed track on Business Process Management intends to attract the full spectrum of submissions types including: · Full research papers that represent a mature IS-view on Business Process Management · Research-in-progress papers that explore emerging areas of BPM-related research · Teaching cases that together with teaching notes will be beneficial for the large growing number of IS courses that cover BPM topics. Important dates December 1, 2010 Submission deadline January 31, 2011 Reviews due March 1, 2011 Notification of acceptance April 5, 2011 Final paper due June 9-11, 2011 ECIS 2011 conference Further information at _http://www.ecis2011.fi _ Track Chairs Michael Rosemann, Queensland University of Technology, _m.rosemann(a)qut.edu.au _Michael zur Muehlen, Stevens Institute of Technology, _Michael.zurMuehlen(a)stevens.edu _________________________________________ Prof. Michael Rosemann, PhD, MBA, FACS Head of Information Systems Discipline Faculty of Science and Technology Queensland University of Technology Level 5, 126 Margaret Street Brisbane Qld 4000 Australia P +61 (0)7 3138 9473 M +61 (0)408 735363 E _m.rosemann(a)qut.edu.au _W: www.bpm.fit.qut.edu.au T: _https://twitter.com/QUTInfoSystems _T: _https://twitter.com/QUTBPMGroup _H: _http://sky.scitech.qut.edu.au/~rosemann/ <http://sky.scitech.qut.edu.au/%7Erosemann/> _________________________________________ Prof. Michael Rosemann, PhD, MBA, FACS Head of Information Systems Discipline Faculty of Science and Technology Queensland University of Technology Level 5, 126 Margaret Street Brisbane Qld 4000 Australia P +61 (0)7 3138 9473 M +61 (0)408 735363 E m.rosemann(a)qut.edu.au W: www.bpm.fit.qut.edu.au T: https://twitter.com/QUTInfoSystems T: https://twitter.com/QUTBPMGroup H: http://sky.scitech.qut.edu.au/~rosemann/ <http://sky.scitech.qut.edu.au/%7Erosemann/>

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: IUI 2011 Workshop on Semantic Models for Adaptive Interactive Systems Datum: Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:18:46 +0200 Von: Stephan Lukosch <s.g.lukosch(a)tudelft.nl> An: <bcs-hci(a)jiscmail.ac.uk>, <cscw-sig(a)jiscmail.ac.uk>, <contici(a)uni-siegen.de>, <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de>, <CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG>, <fgcscw(a)gi-ev.de>, <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Heiko Paulheim <heiko.paulheim(a)sap.com>, Gaelle Calvary <gaelle.calvary(a)imag.fr>, Jürgen Ziegler <juergen.ziegler(a)uni-due.de>, "Hussein, Tim" <tim.hussein(a)uni-due.de> ========================================================================= 2nd IUI Workshop on Semantic Models for Adaptive Interactive Systems (SEMAIS 2011) February 13, 2011, Palo Alto, CA, USA Abstract submission deadline: November 19, 2010 http://www.semais.org Proceedings will be published electronically (CEUR-WS) ========================================================================= WORKSHOP GOALS Semantic technologies and, in particular, ontologies as formal, shareable representations of a domain of interest play an increasingly important role also for the design, development, and execution of user interfaces and more generally interactive systems. Semantic models can serve a number of different purposes in this context. They can be used as application or interface models in model-driven design, generation at design time as well as at runtime, and integration of user interfaces. Ontologies may enhance the visualization and interaction capabilities of user interfaces in various ways, e.g., by providing input assistance, intelligently clustering information, or adapting the user interface according to the user‚Äôs context. Especially in the latter case, ontologies can be applied for representing the various kinds of context information for context-aware and adaptive systems. In particular, they have promised to provide a technique for representing external physical context factors such as location, time or technical parameters and ‚Äòinternal‚Äô context such as user interest profiles or interaction context in a consistent, generalized manner. Owing to these properties, semantic models can also contribute to bridging gaps, e.g., between user models, context-aware interfaces and model-driven UI generation. There is, therefore, a considerable potential for using semantic models as a basis for adaptive interactive systems. The range of potential adaptations is wide comprising, for example, context- and user-dependent recommendations, interactive assistance when performing application-specific tasks, adaptation of the application functionality, or adaptive retrieval support. Furthermore, a variety of reasoning and machine learning techniques exist, that can be employed to achieve adaptive system behavior. TOPICS OF INTEREST Following up the succesfull 1st SEMAIS workshop at IUI 2010, the workshop will address, among others, the following research issues: - Improve UI quality by using semantic models. - Representing user models, systems and their behavior, domain knowledge and interaction context by means of semantic models. - Cognitively or neurally founded reasoning techniques such as activation spreading for semantic user models. - Context-aware interaction based on semantic models. - Adaptation strategies and techniques based on semantic models for e.g. recommender systems, adaptive retrieval, collaboration support systems and others. - Generating explanations or visualizations to increase user confidence and support traceability. - Scalability and performance of semantic model-based interactive systems. - Semantic model-driven UI development. - Generation and evolution of semantic models for interactive systems. - Suitability of highly formal vs. light-weight semantic representations. - Consuming linked data in user interfaces. - Bringing ontologies together with current UI modeling languages, such as UsiXML. - Evaluation approaches for adaptive interaction. SUBMISSIONS AND PARTICIPATION Prospective participants should submit a 2-page position paper describing their interests and work in the topic of the workshop. First comments on (one or more of) the following topics we intend to discuss at the workshop are also welcome, but not mandatory (additional questions are also welcome): - What are the major challenges (technical, organizational etc.) for developing or generating user interfaces based on semantic models? - For which kinds of systems or applications are semantic models particularly useful? - In which ways will semantic technologies affect user interfaces in the future? - What kinds of context-adaptivity do you see as particularly promising? - How can adaptive model driven user interfaces be evaluated? We will select participants based on the abstract's quality and the diversity of their backgrounds, aiming at an interdisciplinary group. The selected presenters will be asked to provide an extended 5-page position paper one month before the workshop. These position papers will be circulated in advance for participants to get an understanding of the mutual views and to provide a starting point for the discussion. Accepted submissions will be published electronically via CEUR-WS. Please submit your contributions in PDF format to submissions(a)semais.org.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ECIS2011-WEB2.0 Business Value of Social Networks Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2010 14:40:43 +0000 From: Ray Hackney <ray.hackney(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ECIS 2011 www.ecis2011.fi WEB2.0 – Business Value of Social Networks Track Chairs Mohini Singh School of Business IT& Logistics, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia mohini.singh(a)rmit.edu.au Ray Hackney Business School, Brunel University Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB8 3PH, UK Ray.Hackney(a)brunel.ac.uk Description of the Track The focus of this track is on the business use of Web 2.0 (social) technologies. Due to the exponential growth in the adoption of Web 2, such as Blogs, Twitter, Wikis, YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Really Simple Syndication (RSS), Folksonomy, Mashups, MySpace by individuals it is considered important to investigate opportunities for organizations to exploit these technologies for business value. It is essential to understand issues in relation to these technologies as they support various entities and networks. Web 2.0 applications are easy to create, edit, are accessible, support real time communication, enable mobility and are essentially free. Web 2.0 technologies present organizations with tremendous opportunities but clearly entail a number of challenges. Individuals are resorting to these technologies for communication, networking and creating identities. However, these technologies are emerging and issues in relation to their development and use by businesses are largely unknown. The Track is therefore intended to enable a very high scope for research into a myriad of Web 2.0 related issues. Its aim is to provide a platform for theoretical, conceptual and empirical presentations and discussion of Web 2.0 applications from researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest may include the following: • Business applications of Web 2.0 technologies • Strategic alignment of Web 2.0 technologies to business strategies • Theories, concepts and tools for successful adoption of Web 2.0 technologies • Security and privacy issues in Web 2.0 technologies • Business benefits achieved from Web 2.0 applications • Challenges of integration, organizational transformation and change management • Social networks and information management • Challenges of information presentation on Web 2.0 technologies • Success and failure factors • Future applications of Web 2.0 technologies Types of Contribution This Track intends to solicit full research papers, research in progress as well as teaching cases to capture concepts, theories, methods and empirical findings on new and relevant issues for Web 2.0 technologies.
