Dazu trägt zum einen die Notwendigkeit bei, die IT des Unternehmens an den aktuellen Trends der Gestaltung und Entwicklung komplexer IT-Systeme auszurichten. Hier liegt das Gewicht klar auf verteilten System- und Softwarearchitekturen, die beispielsweise dem Paradigma der Service-orientierten Architekturen (SOA) folgen. In diesem Umfeld führt insbesondere die Steuerung und Kontrolle der Systemlandschaft und deren Zusammenspiel mit der fachlichen Seite zu neuen Herausforderungen, welche durch ein ganzheitliches IT-Management abgedeckt werden müssen. Darüber hinaus verlangen auch externe Faktoren wie die wachsende Anzahl staatlicher Regulatorien (z. B. MiFID, Basel II, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Legal Unbundling in der Energieversorgung) die Einführung einer effektiven und effizienten IT-Governance, die die Einhaltung von gesetzlichen, technischen und internen Regelwerken (auch als Compliance bezeichnet) gewährleistet. Eine Hauptherausforderung an die IT-Governance stellt die Notwendigkeit einer Steuerung der gesamten Systemlandschaft dar. Parallel hierzu entstehen neue Anforderungen an die Unternehmensstruktur bzw. -organisation, Rollen und Verantwortlichkeiten, Softwarelebenszyklen, oder -standards, die allesamt wichtige Einflussfaktoren darstellen. Um diesen Herausforderungen ganzheitlich begegnen zu können, ist die Entwicklung zeitgemäßer Governance-Ansätze sowie unterstützender Applikationen notwendig. Im Rahmen des Workshops "IT-Governance in verteilten Systemen - GVS 2010" sollen aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten einschließlich "Work in Progress" zum Themenkomplex IT-Governance in verteilten Systemen vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Der Workshop soll auch Industrieteilnehmern die Möglichkeit geben, von ihren Erfahrungen aus der Praxis der IT-Governance zu berichten. Themen Beiträge können insbesondere (aber nicht ausschließlich) zu folgenden Themen eingereicht werden: * SOA-Governance * Governance-Frameworks * Richtlinienmodell für die IT-Governance * Best Practices * Softwarelebenszyklusmanagement * Monitoring in verteilten Systemen * Unterstützung der IT-Governance durch semantische Informationen * Service-Management * Security, Privacy& Trust * Service-Engineering * Standardisierungen im Governance-Umfeld Programmkomitee * Marc Billeb, PricewaterhouseCoopers WPG AG (angefragt) * Prof. Dr. Matthias Goeken, Frankfurt School of Finance& Management * Jens Happe, Universität Karlsruhe (TH) (angefragt) * Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Hasselbring, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel * Prof. Dr. Bernhard Humm, Hochschule Darmstadt * Dr. Christian Janiesch, SAP Research Brisbane * Dr. Wolfgang Johannsen, it's okay Ltd.& Co.

Fwd: [WI] CfP: FP-UML'10 - The Sixth International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: FP-UML'10 - The Sixth International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML Datum: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:51:45 +0100 Von: <moritz.riesner(a)wiwi.uni-r.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for papers: The Sixth International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML (FP-UML) http://www-ifs.uni-regensburg.de/fp_uml/ In conjunction with ER2010 (The 29th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling), Vancouver, Canada, November 1-4, 2010. Theme of the workshop The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been widely accepted as the standard object-oriented (OO) modeling language for modeling various aspects of software and information systems. The UML is an extensible language, in the sense that it provides mechanisms to introduce new elements for specific domains if necessary, such as web applications, database applications, business modeling, software development processes, data warehouses. Furthermore, the latest version of UML 2.0 got even bigger and more complicated with more diagrams for some good reasons. Although UML provides different diagrams for modeling different aspects of a software system, not all of them need to be applied in most cases. Therefore, heuristics, design guidelines, lessons learned from experiences are extremely important for the effective use of UML 2.0 and to avoid unnecessary complication. Also, approaches are needed to better manage UML 2.0 and its extensions so they do not become too complex too manage in the end. Already, the many UML extensions are not well integrated and the UML 2.0 metamodel has become very complex. The Sixth International Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML is a sequel to the successful BP-UML’05 - 09 workshops held in conjunction with the ER conferences. FP-UML’10 is an an international forum for exchanging ideas on the best and new practices of the UML in modeling and system developments. Papers focused on the application on the UML in new domains and new experiences with UML 2.0, and foundations, theory, and UML 2.0 extensions are also highly encouraged. As UML 2.0 is oriented towards the software design driven by models, papers applying the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) or the Model Driven Engineering (MDE) to specific domains are also highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers, analyzers, designers, and users who use the UML to develop systems and software. Topics The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to: - Sub/system design and modeling techniques - Unified Modeling Language: What are the next steps? - UML semantics - Requirements modeling - Process modeling - Interface design - Application design - Database and data warehouse design& applications - Web applications - Model evaluation, formal or heuristics - UML model quality - UML model testing - Metamodeling - Applications to new domains and technologies - Experience reports of UML modeling - Agile modeling - Adopting UML - Teaching UML - UML 2.0 diagrams - Applying, teaching or modeling the UML 2.0 - Model-driven development methodologies and approaches. - Model transformations - Metamodel transformations - Risks and applications of best practices Organizers Günther Pernul Department of Information Systems University of Regensburg, Germany Email: guenther.pernul(a)wiwi.uni-regensburg.de Matti Rossi Department of Business Technology Aalto University, Finland Email: matti.rossi(a)hse.fi Important dates Submission of abstracts: April 9th, 2010 Submission of full papers: April 16th, 2010 Notification to authors: June 2nd, 2010 Workshop: November 1-4, 2010 Submission instructions Submission are done according to the instructions on the web site at: http://www-ifs.uni-regensburg.de/fp_uml/submission.html -- 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

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: 2010 IEEE Intl. Conf. on Information Reuse and Integration Datum: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 15:53:04 -0600 (CST) Von: IEEE-IRI-Publicity <zhang(a)cis.uab.edu> An: ieeeauthors(a)cis.uab.edu [Apologies if you received multiple copies because of cross-posting] ----------------------------------------------------------------- The 11th IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IEEE IRI-2010) Tuscany Suites& Casino, Las Vegas, USA August 4-6, 2010 http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2010/ The increasing volumes and dimensions of information have dramatic impact on effective decision-making. To remedy this situation, Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into legacy systems. IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of information; and applies both information and knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application domains. This conference explores three major tracks: information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information reuse considers optimizing representation methodologies; information integration studies strategies for creatively applying models in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on ontological opportunities for deploying models and corresponding processes. The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. The conference feature contributed and invited papers. Theoretical and applied papers are both included. The conference program will include special sessions, open forum workshops, and keynote speeches. A forum will be conducted with the intent of bridging IRI and Systems of Systems and why the future of intelligent computing - including computing applications - will lie at the juxtaposition of these two topical areas. The conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below: - Large Scale Data and System Integration - Component-Based Design and Reuse - Unifying Data Models (UML, XML, etc.) and Ontologies - Database Integration - Structured/Semi-structured Data - Middleware& Web Services - Reuse in Software Engineering - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery - Sensory and Information Fusion - Reuse in Modeling& Simulation - Automation, Integration and Reuse across Various Applications - Information Security& Privacy - Survivable Systems& Infrastructures - AI& Decision Support Systems - Heuristic Optimization and Search - Knowledge Acquisition and Management - Fuzzy and Neural Systems - Soft Computing - Evolutionary Computing - Case-Based Reasoning - Natural Language Understanding - Knowledge Management and E-Government - Command& Control Systems (C4ISR) - Human-Machine Information Systems - Space and Robotic Systems - Biomedical& Healthcare Systems - Homeland Security& Critical Infrastructure Protection - Manufacturing Systems& Business Process Engineering - Multimedia Systems - Service-Oriented Architecture - Autonomous Agents in Web-based Systems - Information Integration in Grid Computing Environments - Information Integration in Mobile Computing Environments - Information Integration in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Systems of Systems - Semantic Web and Emerging Applications - Information Reuse, Integration and Sharing in Collaborative Environments Instructions for Authors: Papers reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to the above and related topics are solicited.

Fwd: [computational.science] CfP AIJ Special Issue on AI, Wikipedia and Semi-Structured Resources
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CfP AIJ Special Issue on AI, Wikipedia and Semi-Structured Resources Datum: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 18:56:56 +0100 (CET) Von: Roberto Navigli <navigli(a)di.uniroma1.it> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> *** Apologies for multiple postings *** Artificial Intelligence Journal Special Issue on "Artificial Intelligence, Wikipedia and Semi-Structured Resources" GUEST EDITORS: Eduard Hovy, Roberto Navigli, Simone Paolo Ponzetto http://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/~ponzetto/aij/ CALL FOR PAPERS The availability of large amounts of wide-coverage semantic knowledge, and the ability to extract it using the powerful new statistical machine learning techniques developed and used in various branches of AI, is making possible significant advances in applications that require deep understanding capabilities such as question-answering engines and dialogue systems. Though well-known problems such as high cost and scalability discouraged the development of knowledge-rich approaches in the past, more recently the increasing availability of online collaborative resources has attracted the attention of much work in the AI community. Collaboratively constructed knowledge repositories have in fact been used as wide-coverage sources of semi-structured information and manual annotations. When coupled with free-form natural language information, these resources enable the development of large-scale structured resources using knowledge-lean applications. Wikipedia is a case in point, being the largest and most popular collaborative and multilingual resource of world and linguistic knowledge that contains unstructured and (semi-)structured information. This special issue aims to collect state-of-the-art contributions to the development and use of hybrid (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured) resources in AI. These include, but are not limited to, semi-structured encyclopedic resources such as Wikipedia (and related projects such as Wiktionary), user-generated answer repositories such as Wiki and Yahoo! Answers, and collaborative tagging efforts on social media platforms such as Flickr and Blogger. Hybrid knowledge resources such as Wikipedia enable the development of methods for extracting, bootstrapping and integrating fully structured, machine-readable knowledge from both unstructured and semi-structured origins. Such induced wide-coverage knowledge is expected to prove beneficial for a variety of AI tasks, as well as the Semantic Web. We are particularly interested in articles showing the benefits of using such resources and AI techniques synergistically. We thus welcome contributions dealing with applications of general AI methodologies for the construction and validation of large-scale machine-readable knowledge repositories and the impact of automatically-extracted knowledge for AI applications. We also encourage contributors to investigate the nature and impact of the structured and unstructured parts of the resource (e.g. information redundancy, overlaps, connections, etc.). TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Using Wikipedia and other semi-structured content in AI tasks. Examples include Word Sense Disambiguation, Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, Question Answering, etc. * Automatic transformation of hybrid knowledge repositories into fully-structured resources * Extraction and formalization of information from hybrid resources into knowledge bases and databases * Automatic integration of semi-structured knowledge repositories with structured resources (e.g. Cyc, WordNet, SUMO) * Enriching encyclopedic and semi-structured entries with new types of structural information * Wikipedia and the Semantic Web * Automatic extraction and use of cross-lingual information, and other multilingual aspects of Wikipedias and Wiktionaries in AI * Knowledge acquisition from collaborative user contributions * AI methods for improving the quality of (semi-)structured user contributions SUBMISSION INFORMATION Deadline for submissions: October 31, 2010. Please follow the submission instructions available from the AIJ webpage under Submit Article at http://ees.elsevier.com/artint/ For additional information, please contact Simone Paolo Ponzetto (lastname(a)cl.uni-heidelberg.de). IMPORTANT DATES * Submission deadline: October 31, 2010 * First-round reviews due: January 31, 2011 * Revised versions due: May 30, 2011 * Second-round reviews due: June 30, 2011 * Final versions due: July 31, 2011 * Special issue publication: Fall 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] Book CFP: Virtual Community Participation and Motivation: Cross-Disciplinary Theories Datum: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 18:17:24 -0000 Von: Li H. <H.Li(a)swansea.ac.uk> An: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS* *Extended Proposal Submission Deadline: April 13, 2010* *Virtual Community Participation and Motivation: Cross-Disciplinary Theories* A book edited by Dr. Honglei Li Swansea University, United Kingdom To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=762 *Introduction*** This book intends to give a comprehensive view on virtual community participation. With the power to gather people with similar interests together, virtual communities have gained attention by not only practitioners, but researchers, as well. Various studies have been done to explore why people participate in virtual communities since it is only after aggregating a certain amount of members that a virtual community can be viable. Virtual community participation refers to those behaviours in which members mainly participate. Basically, past researchers have found two types of behaviours: lurking and active participation. Although many studies discussed the motivations to participate in virtual communities, including gift economy, pursuit of power, sense of belonging, sense of inclusion, relationship building, and so forth, none of them have given a clear and comprehensive framework on the reasons for virtual community participation. As the field is now in a position to call for a synthesis publication to integrate all aspects of virtual community participation theories, it's important to edit a book to give both researchers and general virtual community practitioner the theoretical guidelines. This book will bring together the issues that managers, practitioners, and researchers must consider when planning, implementing, and managing members in virtual communities. * * *Objective of the Book* The book gives in-depth coverage of state-of-the-art research on virtual community participation. It first covers the concept of virtual community participation, followed by several streams of virtual community participation theories. It will be written for professionals, researchers, practitioners, and designers who want to improve their understanding of the strategic role of virtual community participation within the development of digital communication. *Target Audience* This book appeals to those interested not only in virtual communities, but also in virtual worlds, virtual teams, and even online shopping. Virtual community researchers, as well as researchers from diverse fields--computer science, information systems, psychology, sociology, and telecommunications--will find valuable motivation theories discussed in this book. But this book appeals to more than just researchers. Practitioners and managers looking to organize virtual communities efficiently and effectively will also benefit from the case discussions, empirical studies, and data analysis. In addition, upper-level and graduate-level students will find this research useful in their course work and research. Finally, this book will be a welcome addition to academic libraries' research collections. *Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:*// --Virtual community participation behavior definition --Discussion of various virtual community behaviors --The interpersonal relationship reason of virtual community participation --The social capital perspective of virtual community participation --The attachment of virtual community participation --The belonging or inclusion perspective of participation -- Gift economy perspective of virtual community participation --Frameworks to explain virtual community participation --Behavior theories --Social psychological perspective of virtual community participation --The power side of virtual community participation --Knowledge management motivation to participation --The communicational perspective to participate --The psychological perspective to participate --The process virtualization perspective to participate / / Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit /on or before *February 13, 2010*/, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] EJIS Special Issue CFP: Governing IT in Inter-organizational Relationships Datum: Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:28:00 +1300 Von: Felix Tan <felix.tan(a)aut.ac.nz> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS (EJIS) www.palgrave-journals.com/ejis/ Special Issue on Governing IT in inter-organizational relationships Business firms and other organizations in the public and private sectors increasingly operate as part of highly distributed and loosely coupled ecosystems. These network arrangements are precipitated by pressures to globalize markets for and sources of products and services in a bid to lower costs and increase profitability or program outcomes. The capacity to operate within this global network of relationships is facilitated by the extraordinary technological and process innovations made possible by the application of advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs). These technologies are fueling the unprecedented growth in inter-organizational relationships and the complex inter-linkages that result. Enterprises in both the private and public sectors are connecting to each other through complex enterprise systems that underpin their value chains. At the same time many organizations are attempting to move away from owning ICT systems and infrastructure that support their business model to sourcing these systems and services in non-traditional market or network arrangements. For example, firms are increasingly adopting “cloud-based” and “open source” platform-as-a-service (PaaS) models for provisioning ICT systems and infrastructure. Other organizations are joining forces to create ICT service delivery networks usually manifested as IT shared services. These complex network arrangements pose a number of IT governance challenges. These challenges revolve around the allocation of accountability, responsibility, and decision rights in network arrangements where there is distributed ownership of the ICT resources, systems, and processes. They also relate to the challenge of safeguarding and enhancing the quality and value of IT services delivered through these new IT service provisioning ecosystems. The issues described above should raise some important questions for both researchers and practitioners. We solicit papers for this special issues covering, but not limited, to the following topics: · Frameworks and theories for understanding inter-organizational IT governance relationships. · Emerging issues in governing IT in loosely-coupled, global business ecosystems. · Multi-jurisdictional governance of IT in government and other public sector organizations. · Governing IT in cloud computing and other platform-as-a-service arrangements. · Shared IT service governance. · Governance of common IT infrastructure. · Research approaches to studying inter-organizational IT governance. · IT governance in traditional outsourcing and market arrangements. · Implications for IT governance in open source relationships. · Processes and mechanisms for governing inter-organizational IT arrangements. · Participants’ roles and relationships with new forms of IT provisioning · Governing employee owned and selected IT in organizational settings · Cross-cultural issues in inter-organizational IT governance relationships Guest Editors for the Special Issue Gerald Grant, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, gerald_grant(a)carleton.ca Felix B. Tan, AUT University, Auckland, New Zealand, felix.tan(a)aut.ac.nz Submission Guidelines and Important Dates · Papers may be submitted to the special issue any time before October 30, 2010 · Submit using the EJIS online paper submission system at http://ejis.msubmit.net (Select the Special Issue during submission) · Follow the EJIS formatting guidelines at http://ejis.msubmit.net/cgi-bin/main.plex?form_type=display_auth_instructio… (Note that papers should be no longer than 8000 words) Kind Regards Gerry Grant and Felix B Tan EJIS Special Issue Guest Editors _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
