-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final CfP: AMCIS 2010 - Knowledge Management in Information Systems Development minitrack Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:18:31 +0200 Von: Meira Levy <meirale(a)bezeqint.net> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Final Call for Papers 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2010), Lima, Peru, August 12-15, 2010 ALL PAPERS ARE DUE: March 1, 2010 - midnight (EST) Mini-Track: Knowledge Management in Information Systems Development Co-Chairs: Irit Hadar, Department of Management Information Systems, University of Haifa, hadari(a)mis.haifa.ac.il Meira Levy, Department of Industrial Engineering& Management, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, lmeira(a)bgu.ac.il Knowledge management (KM) has been recognized as an essential component of knowledge-intensive processes, such as information systems development. Current software development processes suffer all too often from inappropriate projects cost and duration estimations, cancelation and failures. The developed software product is frequently found fragile and unreliable; having security defects; not fully complying with the requirements; difficult to upgrade, and more. These problems occur because software products are complex, hard to understand, and vulnerable, as a single mistake can cause at times an entire system failure. Moreover, communication between developers and end-users is an essential and challenging issue. Often occurring miscommunications lead to inadequate requirements' understanding resulting in bad system design and implementation. Knowledge management can facilitate information systems development by enabling reuse of development experience, processes and products. Current KM systems enable to organize the accumulated experience for better storage and retrieval and open internal communication channels within the development teams and external communication channels between the organization and the end-users, throughout the development and integration process. Thus, KM has the potential to increase information systems development efficiency, producing better software products and increasing the organization's success, from both financial and end-users' satisfaction perspectives. This mini-track will focus on research that examines real settings where KM was embedded in information systems development processes, evaluating its role and influence on the process and its outcomes. Suggested topics: - Tools and technologies for managing knowledge within IS development processes - Methodologies for embedding KM practices in IS development - Empirical evidence for implementing KM in IS development process - Key performance indicators (KPI's) for evaluating the influence of KM - Incentive programs for enhancing KM adoption - KM in world-wide distributed development teams - KM influence on end-users' satisfaction Important dates: March 1, 2010 Deadline for paper submissions April 12, 2010 Notification of acceptance April 26, 2010 Final copy due Instructions for authors: The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references. All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Lightning Talks at OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Lightning Talks at OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium Datum: Sun, 21 Feb 2010 11:06:24 +0100 Von: Kris Ven <kris.ven(a)ua.ac.be> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: Lightning Talks at OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium May 30, 2010, Notre Dame, IN, USA http://www.ua.ac.be/oss2010dc Collocated with the 6th International Conference on Open Source Systems (OSS 2010) May 30 - June 2, 2010, Notre Dame, IN, USA http://www.oss2010.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Collocated with the 6th International Conference on Open Source Systems (OSS 2010), a Doctoral Consortium will be organized on May 30, 2010. Please note that the deadline for the submission of full papers has already passed. At this moment, we are issuing a call for papers for the lightning talks special session. Funding for US-based students who participate in the lightning talks session may be available. LIGHTNING TALKS Similar to last year, we will be hosting a special session of "lightning talks" during the OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium. During this lightning talks session, multiple PhD students will be able to briefly present their research proposal. Each presenter will be provided with a 3-minute time slot and will have one slide available. The lightning talks session allows PhD students to give a brief presentation of their research, to actively participate in the Doctoral Consortium, and to generate awareness of their topic. The lightning talks session is primarily targeted towards PhD students who are in the early phases of their research. Attending the discussion on the research proposals of other PhD students may also be beneficial for them, as it provides ideas on what future reactions to their own research may be. In addition, by giving a lightning talk, they are able to generate an interest in their research topic, which allows them to connect to other researchers in related areas and to gain preliminary feedback on their proposal. The Doctoral Consortium will take place on May 30, allowing participants to attend the OSS 2010 conference after the Doctoral Consortium. This allows PhD students to further discuss their research with other researchers in the following days. As well, because of the diversity of the communities involved, the Doctoral Consortium will allow PhD students to make connections beyond their own disciplines. As a result, we expect that participation will allow PhD students to develop a better understanding of the different research communities, which we believe will facilitate their participation in future inter-disciplinary research. Funding may be available for US-based PhD students who participate in the lightning talks session. The funding will cover all or part of the registration, travel, and accommodation costs. More information will be provided to participants who are accepted to the Doctoral Consortium. Doctoral students outside the US are encouraged to seek funding with their local funding agency. A letter of recommendation can be provided by the Doctoral Consortium chairs upon acceptance. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS PhD students that are interested in giving a lightning talk at the OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium can apply by submitting an abstract describing their research proposal. Abstracts should not exceed one page and must be formatted using the templates available in the "Author's Kit" section on the website of the Doctoral Consortium. Each submission must include title, author name(s) and affiliation. The abstract should briefly outline the research question(s) or topic addressed in the study, the proposed methodology, and the expected outcomes (as far as they are known at the time of writing). Abstracts should not contain a list of references. Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail to Kris Ven (kris.ven(a)ua.ac.be). Submissions in both Word (.doc, not .docx) and LaTeX format are welcomed. Abstracts will be reviewed by the OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium chairs based on their relevance to the OSS domain. IMPORTANT DATES March 26, 2010 Submission deadline for abstracts April 2, 2010 Decision back to authors April 15, 2010 Registration May 30, 2010 Doctoral Consortium ACCEPTANCE Abstracts accepted as a lightning talk during the Doctoral Consortium will be included in the proceedings of the OSS 2010 Doctoral Consortium. Submitting an abstract to the Doctoral Consortium represents the author's agreement to allow the Doctoral Consortium Chairs to publish the abstract in the Doctoral Consortium proceedings without compensation to the author. The parties understand that the author is granting a nonexclusive license and all copyrights remain the property of the author. Authors of accepted abstracts are required to register for and attend the Doctoral Consortium. They will also be asked to give a 3-minute presentation on their work.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP:Future Trends of Model-Driven Development (2nd International Workshop)
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP:Future Trends of Model-Driven Development (2nd International Workshop) Datum: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:34:17 +0100 Von: Slimane Hammoudi <Slimane.HAMMOUDI(a)eseo.fr> An: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ----Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested---- *********************************************************************************** 2nd International Workshop on Future Trends of Model-Driven Development (FTMDD'10) 8 -- 12 June 2010 in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (http://www.iceis.org/ <http://www.iceis.org/>) Funchal, Madeira - Portugal Background and Goals ------------------------------ The Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach to the development of IT systems fostered by the Object Management Group (OMG) that separates the specification of the system functionality from its implementation on a particular platform. A common pattern of MDA development is to define a platform-independent model (PIM) of a system, and to apply (parameterised) transformations to this PIM to obtain one or more platform-specific models (PSMs). In this context, PIMs are reusable models that consolidate the application development effort. Furthermore, MDA advocates the use of OMG core technology, especially the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and MOF-compliant languages such as UML and CWM. In Model-Driven Development the MDA principles and technologies are applied in the development of software systems. MDD is already around for some years and is about to become commodity in software development due to its benefits (reduction on development costs, improvement of software quality, reduction of maintenance costs and the support for controlled evolution of IT systems). MDD has also been applied in many application areas, such as real-time and embedded systems, and telecommunication systems, and, more recently, to the development and integration of enterprise information systems. However, the MDD research community is wishing to explore the bounds of MDD, by investigating new applications areas and combinations with other emerging technologies, like, for example, pervasive context-aware systems, Semantic web, Semantic web services, SOA and ontologies. This workshop aims at fostering the further development and application of MDD techniques.This is the second edition of this workshop, in which we want to build upon the very successful first edition last year in Milan. Keynote Speaker ---------------------------- A keynote speaker will be invited to address the workshop on future trends on the theory, practise and applications of MDD techniques. Paper submission: ---------------------------- The workshop welcomes three types of submissions: 1- Full papers describing novel ideas on MDD at either a practical or theoretical level. The length of a full paper should not exceed 12 pages (7000 words). 2- Short or position papers describing work in progress or an author's position regarding the current MDD practice and/or its future trends. The maximum length of a position paper is 5 pages. 3- Demonstrations of a particular prototype approach or tool applicable to MDD. The demonstration should be accompanied by a paper with a maximum length of 4 pages. The demonstration will be shown during the workshop. Instructions for preparing the manuscript are available at the ICEIS web site. Papers should be submitted online through the online submission system. Remarks about the on-line submission procedure: -------------------------------------------------------- 1. A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper, WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the authors personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the authors identity. 2. The web submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author. All papers will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, clarity and technical quality. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings book with an ISBN#, which will be printed by INSTICC Press. The proceedings will be available at the time of the workshop Topics of interest : ---------------------------- Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: .MDD and Enterprise Information Systems .MDD and Service-Oriented Architectures .MDD and Semantic Web .MDD and Semantic Web services .MDD and Ontologies .Domain Specific Languages (DSL) based on MDA technologies .Model Transformation Languages and Tools .Mapping, Matching and Transformation Techniques .MDD and Databases .MDD and Business Process Modelling .MDD for reverse-engineering and software maintenance .MDD for pervasive and context-aware systems Important dates: ---------------------------- .Submission Deadline: March 8, 2010 .Author Notification: April 6, 2010 .Camera Ready Submission Deadline: April 21, 2010 Chairs ----------- Luís Ferreira Pires CTIT, Univ. of Twente, THE NETHERLANDS (l.ferreirapires(a)ewi.utwente.nl <mailto:l.ferreirapires@ewi.utwente.nl>) Slimane Hammoudi ESEO, Angers FRANCE (slimane.hammoudi(a)eseo.fr <mailto:slimane.hammoudi@eseo.fr>) Program committee (list not yet complete) ----------------------------------------------------- João Paulo A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP - Workshop on Interactive Data Exploration and Knowledge Discovery at AVI 2010 Datum: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:35:55 +0100 Von: E.V. Zudilova-Seinstra <E.V.Zudilova-Seinstra(a)uva.nl> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> [We apologise if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ===================================== The AVI 2010 Workshop on Interactive Data Exploration and Knowledge Discovery Rome, Italy May 25, 2010 http://staff.science.uva.nl/~elenaz/AVI2010/ ====================================== held in conjunction with the 2010 ACM Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~avi2010/ SUBMISSION DEADLINE (abstracts in ACM format): March 4, 2010 People have always relied on visual tools such as maps, charts and diagrams to better understand problems and solve them in less time. Continuous improvements in computer processing power and graphics capabilities have made it possible to incorporate a wide range of advanced visualization techniques in most computing application domains, including business, medicine, engineering and science. However, without interactivity, visualisation is often considered as an end point of the workflow or as a way of communicating observations. The way people perceive and interact with visualisations can strongly influence their understanding of the data as well as the usefulness of a visualisation system in general. Important progress has been recently made toward the improvement of a computer-supported information analysis cycle. However, many challenges still remain. The greatest challenge is how to efficiently deal with a community of scientists who generate more data than they can possibly look at and understand. This requires novel high-performance visualisation algorithms and feature extraction techniques. Finding effective visual idioms for direct user interaction is yet another challenge. Also, it is becoming crucial to develop new guidelines and metrics to be able to efficiently evaluate interactive exploration environments. Another concern is how to choose from a wide plethora of available input devices and display configurations to ensure a good user experience and ‘human-to-human’ interaction between scientists while exploring complex data spaces. The goal of the workshop is to bring together academic researchers and practitioners from computer science, HCI, software engineering, social sciences and psychology to discuss the state-of-the-art research and to exchange ideas to help overcome the aforementioned challenges. Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to the following: * Advanced visualisation algorithms and systems; * Augmented and Virtual Reality for exploring complex data spaces; * Collaborative virtual environments; * Novel display systems and interaction devices; * Multi-modal visualisation and interaction; * Adaptive interaction for effective data exploration and knowledge discovery; * Social user interfaces; * Human factors in computer-supported exploration; * Design guidelines for interactive visualisation tools; * Relevant usability and user experience studies; * Interactive visualisation applications and systems. Submission Guidelines: Please submit a short abstract of maximum one page to e.v.zudilova-seinstra(a)uva.nl and tony.adriaansen(a)gmail.com by March 4, 2010. Submissions will be judged based on their scientific quality and application value. Please strictly comply with the ACM formats (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates), when preparing your abstract(s). Submissions are invited from the academic, industrial and commercial institutes. All accepted abstracts will be published in the AVI 2010 Conference Proceedings by ACM and the authors will be invited to give an oral presentation during the workshop. Also, following on from the example of previous related workshops, a selected number of accepted contributions will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion into a journal special issue or an edited volume.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Combining IS & Operations Management - finding synergies
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Combining IS & Operations Management - finding synergies Datum: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:39:53 -0800 Von: Erica Wagner <elwagner(a)pdx.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org We would like to hear from IS faculty whose areas have been combined with operations management. We are specifically interested in ‘marriages’ that sought genuine synergies between the two fields, rather than simple administrative efficiencies. What kinds of courses were subsequently developed and offered by the IS faculty involved? How did the collaboration serve students in preparing for the job market? (Or did it?) Anything else you can offer about the potential advantages (and drawbacks) will be greatly appreciated. As usual, we will make the responses (rendered confidential upon request) available on-line. Please email us at elwagner(a)pdx.edu *** Many thanks Neil Ramiller& Erica Wagner -- Erica L Wagner Associate Professor Portland State University School of Business Administration 631 SW Harrison St. Portland OR 97201 www.ericalwagner.com _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: 5th Int'l Workshop on Technologies for Context-Aware Business Process Management - at ICEIS Datum: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 10:04:57 +0100 Von: Linh Thao Ly <thao.ly(a)uni-ulm.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for papers ========================================================================== The 5th International Workshop on Technologies for Context-Aware Business Process Management (TCoB 2010) ========================================================================== In conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2010) 8 June, 2010 - Funchal, Madeira, Portugal http://www.iceis.org http://www.iceis.org/Workshops/tcob/tcob2010-cfp.htm Co-Chairs Linh Thao Ly Institute of Databases and Information Systems, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Ulm University, Germany thao.ly(a)uni-ulm.de Lucineia Heloisa Thom Institute of Informatics, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil lucineia(a)inf.ufrgs.br Stefanie Rinderle-Ma Faculty of Computer Science University of Vienna, Austria stefanie.rinderle-ma(a)univie.ac.at Background and Goals: -------------------- Business process management (BPM) technologies are considered as one of the key success stories in providing process control and monitoring functions, and addressing complex integration requirements in enterprise systems. However, the expectation of what this technology must deliver is a moving target. Whereas the success of coordinative processes depends upon the conformance to the prescribed control flow, the success of the collaborative process depends upon the ability to detect and react to changing conditions. What was true for workflow systems is no longer acceptable in the dynamic and cross organizational requirements for management of collaborative processes. The trend is going towards agile, responsive, and (self-)adaptive business processes which are able to make use of existing context information in order to align to changing business requirements. BPM has become a very extensive area with several specialized aspects. This workshop intends to provide a forum wherein challenges in flexible, context-aware, and collaborative business process management can be debated. We seek papers that present innovative technology solutions to these challenges based on well justified practical assumptions and sound theoretical foundations. Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution, and relation to previous research. Position and survey papers are also welcome. Topics of interest: ------------------- We particularly solicit approaches to context-aware, agile, responsive, and adaptive business processes. Below we provide a list of relevant topics, however papers outside these topics but within the general scope of the workshop scope will still be considered. - Context-aware business processes - Adaptive process management - Context modeling (e.g., ontologies, rule-based approaches) - Knowledge and task management in (collaborative) processes - Self-adapting / self-healing business processes - Technologies for modeling and analysis of (collaborative) processes - Interactive approaches for end-user engagement and visualization of business processes (can include Web 2.0) - Event driven process management - Collaboration modeling using game theory and/or social networks (wisdom of crowds) in Business Process Management - Usability and technology adoption of BPM solutions - Exception Handling in BPM - Patterns for context-aware BPM Format of the Workshop: ---------------------- The workshop will consist of oral presentations, discussions, and invited talks. The workshop will also provide opportunity for demo sessions, where presenters can showcase advanced prototypes based on their research. Submission of Papers All papers must be written in English, and the length of the paper should not exceed 5,000 words or 10 pages (including figures and tables). Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex format) are available at the ICEIS web site. Papers (in PDF format) should be submitted online through the ICEIS online submission system (http://www.insticc.org/Primoris/). In addition, an email must be sent to all workshop chairs including: title, authors' affiliation, and an abstract of the paper submitted. Workshop Proceedings: -------------------- All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings book with an ISBN#, which will be printed by INSTICC Press. The proceedings will be available at the time of the workshop. Important Dates: ----------------- Paper Submission: March 8, 2010 Author Notification: April 6, 2010 Final Camera-Ready and Registration: April 21, 2010 Workshop Program Committee: --------------------------- Jorge Cardoso (SAP Research CEC Dresden, Germany) Marta Indulska (The University of Queensland, Australia) Richard Lenz (University of Erlangen-Nuernberg, Germany) Olivier Perrin (Nancy 2 University, France) Manfred Reichert (Ulm University, Germany) Rainer Ruggaber (1&1 Internet AG, Germany) Shazia Sadiq (The University of Queensland, Australia) Julien Vayssiere (Smart Services CRC, Australia) Barbara Weber (University of Innsbruck, Austria) Matthias Weidlich (Hasso Plattner Institute for IT-Systems, Germany) Workshop Location: ------------------ The workshop will take place in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2010) in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. -- Linh Thao Ly Institute of Databases and Information Systems Ulm University Tel.: +49 731 50-24194 Fax: +49 731 50-24134 www.uni-ulm.de/dbis _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
