Especially in the light of the recent global down turn, the future is indeed very challenging making the need for appropriate and suitable e-initiatives and e-solutions for individuals, organizations and societies an imperative. As emerging digital environments generate new ways of communication and interaction between individuals, organizations and societies we need to examine structures, processes and operations to ensure we are migrating to a more reliable eWorld. New eResponsiblities have to be taken by business, governments and individuals of this Brave New eWorld in order to contend with emerging eRisks and eChallenges. Moreover, it is essential that managers, politicians, employees, and citizens take actions at both the macro and the micro level so that discourse and discussion focuses on designing suitable organizational configurations, effective and effi-cient processes, new kinds of products and services, and necessary infrastructures and technologies in short we need the correct eSolutions so that the eFuture is indeed bright. Research papers addressing the conference theme should be original, unpublished elsewhere and no longer than 5,000 words. Detailed information about electronic submission and other issues will be available on the Conference web site. All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings on the web and on CDs (with ISBN and CIP number).

Workshop on Modular Ontologies (WoMO) Ljubljana, Slovenia, August 8-12, 2011 held in conjunction with ESSLLI 2011 --- First Call for Papers --- Submission deadline: February 15, 2011 ======================================================== http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~okutz/womo5 MODULARITY, as studied for many years in software engineering, allows mechanisms for easy and flexible reuse, generalization, structuring, maintenance, design patterns, and comprehension. Applied to ontology engineering, modularity is central not only to reduce the complexity of understanding ontologies, but also to facilitate ontology maintenance and ontology reasoning. Recent research on ontology modularity shows substantial progress in foundations of modularity, techniques of modularization and modular development, distributed reasoning and empirical evaluation. These results provide a foundation for ongoing multi-disciplinary research and development. The workshop follows a series of successful events that have been an excellent venue for practitioners and researchers to discuss latest work and current problems, and is this time organised as a satellite workshop of ESSLLI 2011 (week 2, see http://esslli2011.ijs.si/?p=306 ), following an introductory ESSLLI course on notions of modularity in ontologies (week 1, see http://esslli2011.ijs.si/?p=310 ). TOPICS include, but are not limited to: - What is Modularity: Kinds of modules and their properties; modules vs. contexts; design patterns; granularity of representation; - Logical/Foundational Studies: Conservativity and syntactic approximations for modules; modular ontology languages; reconciling inconsistencies across modules; formal structuring of modules; networks of ontologies; heterogeneity; - Algorithmic Approaches: distributed reasoning; modularization and module extraction; (selective) sharing and re-using, linking and importing; hiding and privacy; evaluation of modularization approaches; complexity of reasoning; reasoners or implemented systems; - Applications: Semantic Web; life sciences; bio-ontologies; natural language processing; ontologies of space and time; ambient intelligence; collaborative ontology development; etc. The workshop is open to all members of the ESSLLI community. Workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School; however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be determined by the Local Organizers. IMPORTANT DATES (Tentative) Paper Submission: February 15, 2011 Notification: April 15, 2011 Camera ready: June 1, 2011 Workshop: August 8-12, 2011 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: The workshop welcomes submission of high quality original and previously unpublished papers.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2011 Mini-Track on Design Considerations for IT Security and Privacy Management Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:12:03 -0500 From: John D'Arcy <jdarcy1(a)nd.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA Track: HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION Mini Track Title: DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR IT SECURITY AND PRIVACY MANAGEMENT DESCRIPTION: The importance of security and privacy management has increased as witnessed by the increasing number of security and privacy breach incidents that organizations have encountered within the last few years. For instance, the website privacyrights.org details nearly two thousand data breaches made public since 2005 that have compromised over a half million personal records. Security and privacy management is especially challenging in that users vary widely in level of motivation, knowledge, and perceptions of threat severity. The decentralized computing environment in which end users exercise some degree of autonomous control over IT resources further complicates security management efforts. To address these complex issues, we solicit research papers on the design and usability of tools and technologies employed for all types of IT security management tasks, including those utilized by both end users and IT administrators. A fully functional IT environment requires a consolidated and convincing set of privacy and security safeguards in place at various levels: system, user, organizational, and sector. Therefore, design-based research efforts are expected to bring system requirement, user controllable privacy and security, organizational compliance, and legal requirements into better alignment. This minitrack provides a forum for focused discussion and exchange on design considerations for IT security and privacy management. We welcome research papers that explore interesting questions related to the design and usability aspects of IS security and privacy, such as: ·How should organizations design and implement tools and procedures that help IT professionals, business leaders, and policy makers bring system requirements, business strategies, and policies into better alignment? ·How should firms design and implement tools and practices for detection, reporting, investigation of, and recovery from security incidents? ·What is unique about privacy and security management and why should the AIS-SIGHCI community care? We refer potential authors to papers in recent MIS Quarterly and European Journal of Information Systems special issues on information security (e.g., Abbasi et al. 2010; Zhang et al. 2009) and the IFIP Working Group 8.11/11.13 Dewald Roode Information Security Workshop proceedings for potential ideas. However, the range of acceptable topics and methodological approaches is by no means limited to these studies. *POTENTIAL TOPICS: Example topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:* ** ·Design and usability evaluations of privacy and security enhancing features ·User mental models and behavioral dynamics ·Tools or applications that support security and privacy assurance ·Designs to improve IS security and IT policy compliance ·User interface design for security tools ·Deployment, integration, modification, and maintenance of organizational security solutions ·Design of organizational security controls and procedures ·Information visualization for security analysis ·Integration of security tools with organizational security policies and procedures ·Design of user security and privacy awareness and training modules REFERENCES: Abbasi, A., Zhang, Z., Zimbra, D., and Chen, H.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Academic Informing Science and Engineering Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 20:25:50 -0400 From: isAISE 2011 <aise(a)mail.2011iiisconferences.org> To: <NEUMANN(a)WU-WIEN.AC.AT> Dear G. Neumann: As you know, the environment complexity of Research and Education is increasing with an accelerated rate. Consequently, an adequate re-conception of academic activities (research, education, and/or consulting) in the context of adaptive complex systems might very probably improve the effectiveness of these activities. Complexity Science, Informing Science/Engineering, Cybernetics and Cyber-technologies could effectively support the re-conception and consequent re-design of academic informing activities, methodologies, and processes Complexity Science and Informing Sciences/Engineering are emerging academic endeavors that are supporting this kind of re-conception and re-design in different academic fields (see for example T. Grandon Gill's "Informing Business: Research and Education on a Rugged Landscape"). On the other hand, Informatics and Cybernetics have a great potential in providing the conceptual and technological tools for the implementation of the newly conceived solutions and designs. Based on this emerging new reality, IMCIC 2011 Organizing Committee decided to start the organization, in its context, of a series of international symposia on Academic Informing Science and Engineering with the purpose of bringing together academics and professionals to share their research and academic-practice-based reflections with other scholars and researchers concerned with the effectiveness of any or all kinds of academic activities. The first international symposium on Academic Informing Science and Engineering: isAISE 2011 (http://www.2011iiisconferences.org/aise), will be held in the context of IMCIC 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/imcic), in Orlando, Florida, USA on March 27-30, 2011. We invite you to participate and/or submit a paper/abstract to isAISE 2011. The deadlines for the first of this series of symposia are the following (check isAISE 2011 web site for possible extensions). You can also participate organizing an invited session (registration fee will be waived for effective invited session organizers) and/or supporting the reviewing process of submitted papers/abstracts. Check the conference web site for more details regarding these issues. Abstract/paper Submissions and invited sessions proposals: Jan 6th, 2011 Acceptance notification: Feb 7th, 2011 Final Papers Upload: Feb 22nd, 2011 All accepted and presented papers will be included in both: the printed and CD versions of the proceedings. Details with regards to double-tier reviewing process, acceptance policy, selections of keynote speakers, best papers, and their publication in the Journal of Systemic, Cybernetics, and Informatics, can be found at the symposium web site, and resumed in the page titled "About the Symposium" Suggested Areas and Topics are the following ? Informing via research and/or informing research (meta-research) ? Informing via teaching (pedagogical methods and processes) and/or getting informed form students, as feedback for a more effective teaching ? Informing via consulting or practice and/or getting informed form practice, as feedback for a more effective consulting ? Relationships between research and teaching.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: Doctoral Consortium at the International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT) Datum: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 12:01:05 -0700 Von: Sabine Graf <sabine.graf(a)ieee.org> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM at the 11th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies http://www.ask4research.info/icalt/2011/doctoral_consortium.php Athens, Georgia, USA July 6-8, 2011 ***Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2011*** What is the Doctoral Consortium? ******************************** The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work (i.e., in their first or second year). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and international atmosphere. The Doctoral Consortium provides PhD students with the opportunity to meet and discuss with experts in their area. Students will present and discuss their thesis in the context of a well-known and established international conference outside of their usual university environment. Up to 10 Ph.D. students will have the opportunity to participate. Students will be required to pay the registration fees of the ICALT Conference (student rates). The Doctoral Consortium will consist of 3 sessions. The first session aims at giving students the chance to present their work to others and get familiar with the work of other PhD students in their area. Each PhD student will give a very brief presentation (about 3 minutes) about his/her work with focus on motivation and research problem. These presentations are followed by a poster exhibition where individual discussion about each student?s work will take place. The third session aims at giving students feedback from an expert in their area and let them discuss their work with him/her as well as with few other PhD students doing research in the respective area. After the notification of acceptance/rejection, each PhD student with an accepted paper will be assigned to a small group consisting of 3-4 PhD students and one expert in their area. Each group will start to communicate and exchange their papers so that all members of the group are familiar with the papers of each group member. During the third session, each small group will meet individually. PhD students will give a short presentation about their work (about 10 minutes; 3 slides: Motivation/Background, what have been done already, and what will be done in future). After each presentation, group discussion will take place where each student can discuss his/her work with the expert and with other PhD students. Call for Papers and Topics ************************** Submissions relating to any aspect of Advanced Learning Technologies research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, focusing on the main themes of ICALT2011. To apply for participation at the Doctoral Consortium, please submit a 2-page paper about your doctoral work using the ASK-Conference System at: http://www.ask4research.info/conference/upload.php. The paper should: * Provide the title of the PhD Research, the name of the PhD Student and the PhD Advisor and the Affiliated Organisation * Provide a motivation for the research, explaining what the problem in the respective field is and why it is a problem, * Clearly formulate the research question, * Sketch the research methodology that is to be applied, * Describe the expected contributions of the applicant to the research area, and describes how the research is innovative, novel or extends existing approaches to a problem. * Appropriately acknowledge the possible contribution of non-student advisors or collaborators Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. Workshop participation is limited to 10 PhD students. Additionally, at the same time as the paper is submitted via the conference system, an email from the main supervisor must be sent to sabineg(a)athabascau.ca, karagian(a)uth.gr, and lockeebb(a)vt.edu to confirm that the student is in his/her first or second year of PhD studies.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: CAiSE Workshop on Ontology Driven IS Engineering Datum: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:06:42 +0000 Von: Sergio de Cesare <sergio.decesare(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** Call for Papers *** 3rd International Workshop on Ontology-Driven Information Systems Engineering co-located with CAiSE 2011 (London, 20-24 June 2011) http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~cssrssc/events/odise2011 THEME Information systems (IS) Engineering has progressed considerably over the decades. Numerous advances, such as improved development methodologies, languages that enforce recognised software engineering principles and sophisticated CASE tools, have helped to increase the quality of IS. Regardless of such progress many IS Engineering projects remain unsuccessful (e.g., fail to meet stakeholder requirements, run excessively over budget and far beyond the deadlines initially scheduled). As the literature points out, most of these problems are due to (1) the difficulties of capturing and knowing the business requirements of a living organisational system, (2) realising such requirements in software designs and implementations and (3) maintaining an effective level of synchronicity between the needs of the living system and its information system. The causes underlying such problems are diverse and difficult to identify. Nonetheless it is plausible to assume that at the heart of such IS Engineering problems is the difficulty to conceptualise an organisational system and its real-world problem domains. Ontologies are rapidly becoming mainstream within IS engineering as a means to create conceptual models of the real world that are both formalised and semantically accurate. Whilst ontologies have been in recent times widely researched by the Semantic Web and Artificial Intelligence communities, limited research has been conducted on how ontologies can help to shape and improve IS Engineering in terms of both the development process and the conceptual/physical artefacts produced. Ontologies have the potential to positively drive all phases of the IS lifecycle, from business modelling to implementation, and contribute to shape Information Systems Engineering so as to more effectively evolve software solutions that align with organisational requirements and address the issues emerging from large complex families of IT systems. This workshop is aimed at promoting, investigating and discussing Ontology-Driven Information Systems Engineering (ODISE, pronounced odyssey) by bringing together researchers and industrial practitioners interested is ways in which ontologies can impact IS Engineering. The scope of ODISE includes broad areas such as: (1) Foundational ontological principles and paradigms that can influence novel or existing modelling/programming languages; (2) Improved traceability between phases and modelled artefacts via ontologies; and (3) Ways in which ontologies drive or refine typical development phases and the lifecycle as a whole. More specifically topics include, but are not limited to: - Ontology as a means to inform the process of gathering requirements. - Ontology as a means to inform architecture development directly from requirements specifications. - Ontology as a means to inform the software design directly from the architecture specification. - Ontology as a means to model the software development process and the software product itself. - Ontologies as run-time artefacts or to inform the design of run-time artefacts. - The role of ontology reasoning in the software engineering process. - The role of ontologies in model-driven development. - Philosophical ontologies (3D vs. 4D) and their role in IS development - Comparison of different ODISE mechanisms (e.g. domain-specific modelling, profiling, etc.). - Comparison of the role of foundational ontologies vs. domain ontologies in ODISE. - Ontology driven development of service software. - Methodological issues for ODISE. - Problems of semantic mismatch between traditional IS modelling paradigms, approaches, techniques, etc. and ontological modelling. - Ontology-based development/modelling/programming languages. The ODISE workshop is aimed at promoting discussion among the workshop participants, identifying key research areas of Ontology-Driven Information Systems Engineering and fostering future research collaborations in the form of joint research projects and/or papers. IMPORTANT DATES Paper abstracts: 14 February 2011 Paper submissions: 21 February 2011 Notification of acceptance: 7 March 2011 Camera-ready copies: 28 March 2011 Workshop: 20 or 21 June 2011 SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers by e-mail to Sergio de Cesare (sergio.decesare(a)brunel.ac.uk), the workshop's primary contact.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: 10th IFIP e-government conference (EGOV) 2011 Datum: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 10:14:13 +0100 Von: Marijn Janssen - TBM <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 10^th IFIP e-government conference (EGOV) 2011 29 August - 1 September 2011; Delft, The Netherlands (co-located with the 3^rd ePart conference) www.egov-conference.org CALL FOR PAPERS The 10^th annual international IFIP e-government conference is the European core conference in the study domain, which presents the state of the art in e-government and e-governance. Since its beginnings in 2001, the EGOV conference has provided important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving domain of study. IFIP's EGOV conference has grown to one of the top three conferences in the domain besides the HICSS e-government track and the Digital Government Society's dg.o conference in North America. In 2010, EGOV became a full IFIP conference organised by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information systems in the public sector. The IFIP e-government conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. Over the years, the interest in this domain of study has steadily increased. The 2010 IFIP EGOV and ePart conferences have attracted more than 150 participants from all continents including developing countries. IFIP EGOV has accepted 36 contributions in completed research, 31 contributions in ongoing research, 3 panels and 3 workshops. Also, the second editor-in-chief roundtable with representatives of five key journals in the field was held. For further details see the conference site of IFIP EGOV 2010. E-government research has demonstrated its relevance to practice and consequently has influenced and shaped government strategies and implementations. Conversely, e-government practice has inspired e-government research. A wide range of topics has received scholarly attention. In recent years, the assessment and evaluation of e-government projects, the foundations of e-government as a research discipline, integration and interoperation in government, transformation, organizational change, citizens at the center, adoption and diffusion, and the role of information and communication technology for development rank among leading topics on the research agenda. For the IFIP e-government conference 2011 we seek contributions that include but are not limited to: * Foundations of e-government and e-governance research * Future directions in research and practice of ICT in the public sector * Research theories and frameworks for public sector modernization with the support of ICT * Research methods, method integration and techniques * Designing and assessing systems for the public sector: innovative cases and systems * ICT usage, acceptance and performance of technology-supported public sector activities: methods and contemporary case analyses * Open government, transparency, and collaboration * Open innovation, innovation management, transformation and change management, and complexity management in shaping public sector advancements * Crowdsourcing in government * Evaluation and benefits management * Stakeholders collaboration in government modernization: Stakeholder-driven public sector reengineering * Participative governance and policy modeling * Legal compliance, legal shaping and legal impact of innovative government services provision * Mobile services and methods in government * Cloud computing and social networks in the public sector * Information Infrastructure, Information preservation, information management, and information access * Trust and privacy in e-government * Open source and free software * Interoperability, architectures and standards in networked government * Knowledge management, information sharing, semantics, and ontologies * Emergency and disaster response management * Retaining public sector experiences * Education, human resources, training courses, and curricula The IFIP e-government conference 2011 hosts four distinct formats of contributions: * Completed research papers (max 12 pages, published in LCNS Springer * Ongoing research and innovative projects (max 8 pages, published in Trauner (tbc)) * Workshops and panels on pertinent issues * PhD colloquium submission (details to be specified) These formats encourage scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art in the study domain, but also welcome innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government or e-governance projects along with reports on system implementations. Prior to the conference (Monday August 29), a PhD student colloquium will be held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration. We seek innovative and scholarly sound contributions. Accepted papers of completed research will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (tbc). Ongoing research and project papers will be published in Trauner proceedings (tbc). Read more about the submission guidelines and review criteria on the conference website: htttp://www.egov-conference.org/egov-2011/ The IFIP e-government conference will be co-located with ePart, the third International Conference on electronic participation (ePart), which will be dedicated to topics on e-participation and e-democracy. ePart will take place slightly overlapping with the IFIP e-government conference at the same venue. Participants registering for one conference can also attend the other conference.
