Thus, this year's theme will focus on rule-based programming in Industry and the Semantic Web. The emphasis will be on implemented systems that have been actually used in pragmatic situations where the advantages of rule-driven computation and inference have made all the difference, such advantages being: * agility * declarativeness * maintainability * documentability * scalability * meta-programmability * reliability * formal semantics * etc., ... In terms of the Semantic Web, we explicitly call for submissions that probe (in a pragmatic setting) how rule-based approaches complement ontology-based approaches, which share some of the characteristics of rule systems, such as declarativeness and formal semantics. PAPER SUBMISSION We are solliciting papers dealing with topics related to this year's theme discussing any or several of the itemized facets of the combinations of rules and ontologies, going beyond academic experiments and meant for large-scale or industrial applications. Papers should contain no more than 10 pages, including figures, and submitted through EasyChair using the standard EPTCS LaTeX style file. PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Hassan Ait-Kaci, IBM, Canada (co-chair) * Maria Alpuente, Universidad de Valencia, Spain * Harold Boley, National Research Council, Canada * Mike Dean, BBN, USA * Mohand-Said Hacid, Universite Claude Bernard, Lyon, France * Gary Hallmark, Oracle, USA * Pierre-Etienne Moreau, INRIA Nancy, France * Jeff Pan, University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom * Dave Reynolds, Epimorphics Ltd., United Kingdom (co-chair) * Eelco Visser, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Workshop venue RULE 2010 will be a satellite workshop of the conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA 2010) affiliated to the Federated Logic of Computing conferences (FLoC 2010), to take place in Edinburgh, UK, July 9-21, 2010.

Fwd: [WI] [2nd CFP] 5th AIS SigPrag International Conference on Pragmatic Web (ICPW 2010)
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] [2nd CFP] 5th AIS SigPrag International Conference on Pragmatic Web (ICPW 2010) Datum: Tue, 2 Mar 2010 18:23:54 +0100 Von: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *** Sorry for Crossposting *** ============================================================================ === 5th AIS SigPrag International Pragmatic Web Conference Track (ICPW 2010) at International Conference on Semantic Systems (i-Semantics 2010) 1 - 3 September 2010, Messecongress|Graz, Austria http://www.pragmaticweb.info ============================================================================ === Call for Papers ----------------- The Conference on PRAGMATIC WEB is centered around the study of "pragmatics" in the Semantic Web. That is, it draws attention to how communicative actions with a pragmatic context are performed via Web media and illuminates how mutual understanding and commitments to actions can evolve in conversations. For further information about the Pragmatic Web see http://www.pragmaticweb.info/ Topics of Interest ------------------ * Pragmatic Web Science * Theories, Frameworks, Models and Methods ...inspired by Pragmatics and Pragmatism, or less formally, case study reflections on "pragmatic" uses of the Web that supported the negotiation of social/work relationships and common ground * Applied pragmatic theory * Communication, dialogue and argumentation models * Pragmatic Web media for communicative actions * Pragmatic collaboration and coordination tools * Pragmatic context models (e.g. within conversation-based collaborations) * Pragmatic design principles for Web contents where trust and commitment to action play a role * Vocabularies / ontologies for pragmatic primitives (e.g. speech acts, deontic primitives, etc.) * Linguistic metaphor: its value for framing the Syntactic, Semantic and Pragmatic Web * Pragmatic model of scientific inquiry in Semantic Web research * Negotiation, mediation, conflict resolution, and coordination combining existing ontologies and schemata, collaborative ontology sharing and matching techniques * Integrative frameworks: approaches to integrating insights from component disciplines (e.g. language-action perspectives, cognition, linguistics, semiotics, knowledge representation, philosophy, interaction design, negotiation, media studies) * Pragmatic reasoning supporting adaptive semantic collaboration and virtual collaborative teams * Sense making, analysis and decision-making in a cooperative or non- cooperative pragmatic model * Argumentation, dialogue and debate * Personalized / role-based Pragmatic Web Agents and intelligent conversation or action based web services * Pragmatic Web based human-human and human-computer interaction * Semiotically motivated approaches to information systems * Semiotic engineering and Semiotics in business computing * Semiotic theory, concepts, methods and techniques, and their practical applications Description ----------- TRUST AND COMMITMENT: Whether we look at our geo-political and environmental context, work within and between organizations, or our local communities, there has never been a greater need for understanding across cultural, intellectual, and other boundaries. Whether the context is international policy, distributed teamwork, e- business, or community mobilisation, fundamentally, people must build trust and commitment to common goals by talking and acting together. What role does the Web have to play in these complex processes? GET PRAGMATIC: The study of "pragmatics" is driven by an interest in action. It illuminates how it is that we manage to evolve mutual understanding and commitments in conversation. Central to this perspective is the understanding that the meaning of everything we say and do is contextual. When contexts change, meanings change in conversations, documents, and models of the world. This is something that we manage fluently in face-to-face conversation, but when working on the Web over space and time, tools must still support adaptation to new contexts. A focus on pragmatics draws attention to how communicative actions are performed via Web media. THE PRAGMATIC WEB CONFERENCE TRACK at i-Semantics 2010 is a unique forum to envision and debate how the emerging social, semantic, multimedia Web mediates the ways in which we construct shared meaning. While there is much research and development into topics relevant to this challenge such as collaboration, usability, knowledge representation, and social informatics, the Pragmatic Web conference provides common ground for dialogue at the nexus of these topics. WE INVITE YOU as a researcher or practitioner working on these challenges to join the special Pragmatic Web track at the i-Semantics 2010 in September to share your work, and to come and find out what others are doing. This is an emerging network of people exploring the intersection of established intellectual traditions and the fast changing Web: come and help shape the community! CHALLENGES include: ------------------- * How can we better understand the usefulness, and limitations, of a concept such as "Web Pragmatics" * What pragmatic design principles improve websites where trust and commitment to action are central? * What are the tradeoffs for users of more structured Web collaboration media? (e.g. in learnability, scaleability, intelligibility) * How can participatory work practices and collaboration tools be orchestrated in the design of the standards, data models and ontologies that underpin data-driven Web applications? * What role does pragmatics play in the design of personalised information and personalised actions channelled through the Web? * What impact (intended or unintended, productive or disruptive) do different levels of computational infrastructure have on Web pragmatics? * How can we clarify our understandings of increasingly important concepts on the Web such as "social ties", "metadata", "knowledge representation", and "transaction"? * If "context" is pivotal in making human interaction meaningful, how can we take context into account to improve Web applications? Submission Information ----------------------- All accepted papers of I-SEMANTICS 2010 will be published in the digital library of the ACM ICP Series. Selected papers will also be invited for an extension to be published as journal publication in the forthcoming special issue of Elsevier Data& Knowledge Engineering (www.elsevier.com/locate/datak) on ?Pragmatic Web?.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Deadline extended: CAiSE GRCIS'10 - Governance, Risk, and Compliance in Information Systems Datum: Tue, 2 Mar 2010 15:01:51 +1000 Von: Marta Indulska <m.indulska(a)business.uq.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org THIRD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON GOVERNANCE, RISK AND COMPLIANCE - APPLICATIONS IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GRCIS'10) http://www.grcis.com 7 June, 2010 Hammamet, Tunisia In conjunction with CAiSE'10 *Paper Submission: March 8, 2010* (extended) BACKGROUND The importance of governance and associated issues of compliance and risk management is well recognized in enterprise systems. This importance has dramatically increased over the last few years as a result of numerous events that led to some of the largest scandals in corporate history. The governance, risk and compliance market is estimated to be worth over $32 billion. Tool support for governance, risk and compliance related initiatives is provided by over 100 software vendors, however, while the tools have on average tripled in price since 2003, they are often insufficient to meet organizational needs. At the same time, there is an increasing complexity in the facilitation of compliant business processes, which stems from an increasing number of regulations, frequent and dynamic changes, as well as shared processes and services executing in highly decentralized environments. In the age of outsourcing, dynamic business networks, and global commerce, it is inevitable that organizations will need to develop methods, tools and techniques to design, engineer, and assess processes and services that meet regulatory, standard and contractual obligations. Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) can be expected to play a significant part in several applications. This area is emerging as a critical and challenging area of research and innovation. It introduces, among others, the need for new or adapted modeling approaches for compliance requirements, extension of process and service modeling and execution frameworks for compliance and risk management, and detection of policy violations. This workshop provides a forum for researchers from diverse backgrounds to contribute to this emerging area and make a consolidated contribution in the form of new and extended methods that address the challenges of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics covered by the workshop will include at least the following: * Policy definition and enforcement * Compliant service and process design * Noncompliant process identification * Risk management * Visualization and simulation of risk in process models * Governance processes * Integration and effectuation of multiple regulatory standards * Compliance, risk and tolerance metrics * Organizational structures to support compliance * Separation of duties/Separation of rights * Decision tracing * Data provenance and lineage * Work tracking * Violation detection * Technologies for compliance assurance * Applications, case studies and use cases Submitted papers will be subjected to a double-blind review process and 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. The proceedings will be published as online CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Best papers from the workshop will be invited to develop an extended submission for an Information Systems special issue on GRC. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: March 8, 2010 Notification of acceptance: March 29, 2010 Camera ready: April 15, 2010 Workshop: June 7, 2010 SUBMISSION DETAILS Papers should be submitted in PDF format.

Consequently, the inter- relationships between IT, individuals and groups become increasingly complex. It is of great significance and interest for researchers to unveil how human behavior and social context may affect the development, adoption, implementation, and use of various forms of IT. We invite papers that test and extend our current understanding of the issues in this area. This track focuses on the individual, group and organizational levels of analysis in the adoption, use, and effects of IT/IS. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: 1. New theoretical perspectives that can help us better understand the intertwined nature of social factors and IT/IS. 2. Human and social factors in IT/IS development, adoption, deployment and use. Cultural factors for development, adoption, deployment and use of IT/IS. 3. The social and behavioral impacts of Web 2.0 in organizations. 4. Organizational and human factors and the success of virtual teams. 5. The impact of social media (networking) web sites on human behavior, organizations, society, and IT development. 6. The relationships between indicators of social capital and IT/IS use. 7. Online and off-line interactions and the development of social relationships. 8. The application of methodological approaches (e.g., social network analysis, ethnomethodology, conversation analysis) to understand technology development, adoption, deployment, and use.
