-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] DEWALD ROODE INFORMATION SECURITY WORKSHOP 2010 IFIP WG 8.11 - new submission deadline Datum: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:02:36 -0400 Von: Ray, Amy <ARAY(a)bentley.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *DEWALD ROODE INFORMATION SECURITY WORKSHOP 2010 IFIP WG 8.11 CALL FOR PAPERS ** New Submission Deadline ** * *8-9 October 2010 Bentley University, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA * Following the success of the First International Information Systems Security Workshop held in Cape Town, South Africa, May 2009, the second workshop will continue efforts to advance the research discipline of information systems security through the creation, dissemination, and preservation of well-formed research. Through the active discussion in the workshop, participants will receive specific feedback on their papers and provide feedback to others. While relevant for advanced practical development, our primary audience consists of researchers in this area. We value research products with highly reliable and validated theory, empirical data, or quantitative/qualitative social scientific methodology. Editors of EJIS and MISQ will screen potentially high quality papers that may be fast tracked to these journals after revisions. The workshop is also intended to nurture individual journal articles for submission to a wide variety of other management research journals. Selection for the workshop is competitive, and only authors of the accepted papers and working group members will be invited to participate. Anchoring the workshop to information systems means the research will attend and extend the social, organizational, and managerial literature in this area. While we assume an effective foundation in information security technology, we regard information systems risks broadly, for example crime, employee misconduct, warfare, terrorism, error, accident, natural events, etc. We also address information systems security broadly, for example, privacy, awareness, policies, strategy, audit, planning and control. Manuscripts will be prescreened by the program chairs and members to ensure that all papers sent to reviewers are reasonably complete, well-formed and appropriate to the scope and mission of the workshop (e.g. information security management focused rather than information security science focused). Double blind reviews will follow for prescreened papers. *General Co-Chairs: *Amy Ray, Bentley University, USA Catherine Anderson, University of Maryland, USA Scott Boss, Bentley University, USA *Program Co-Chairs: *Mikko Siponen, University of Oulu, FI Robert Sainsbury, Mississippi State University, USA Anthony Vance, Brigham Young University, USA * Submission Information: *_New submission deadline: April 29, 2010*** _Notification to authors: July 15, 2010 Deadline for final papers: August 15, 2010 Paper submissions should be sent to: roode.workshop(a)gmail.com Manuscripts must be anonymous for the review process.

Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings. Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions. All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions. Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.

These phenomena are also changing how we communicate with each other and the way in which we establish and maintain our social relations. The relationship between Internet and society is complex and bidirectional, leading to a co-evolution of the two systems. In fact, the Internet exists because humans need networking and the Internet evolution is ultimately driven by our ever-increasing use of it. The complexity of the current Internet structure and its future developments cannot be understood without taking a full multi-disciplinary approach. Such an approach must necessarily be based on the science of complex systems, and in particular complex network theory. It must also depend on social sciences and humanities to elucidate the underpinnings of the Internet at a societal and economic level. This conference will bring together experts in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), social scientists, as well as experts in the area of complex systems They will assess the state-of-the-art, identify new trends and envision future developments in the intertwined domains of future Internet and society. Topics that will be covered in the conference include: - Internet topology and modelling - Complex techno-social networks - Modelling of collective social behaviour - Social and human dynamics - Spreading and epidemics in techno-social systems - Virtual social systems - Co-evolution of Internet and society - Internet as a socio-economical system - Mobile social networks - Internet enabled applications and business - Future Internet as a techno-social system. We welcome top-level presentations on the most recent results in analysis and modelling, from the point of view of complex systems and other techno-social issues.A good number of grants are available for young researchers to cover the conference fee and possibly part of the travel costs.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline: Calls for Book Chapter - Information Systems for Global Financial Markets
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline: Calls for Book Chapter - Information Systems for Global Financial Markets Datum: Tue, 13 Apr 2010 07:55:30 -0400 Von: Alex Yap <ayap(a)elon.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Information Systems for Global Financial Markets: Emerging Developments and Effects Call for Chapters (2-3 Page proposals): Proposals Submission Deadline: April 8, 2010 (extended to May 8, 2010) Introduction Financial markets around the world can affect each other in merely a matter of seconds as financial information systems are programmed to buy or sell stocks and financial derivatives automatically when activated by sudden changes in global market trends and conditions. Information systems are highly critical in managing the trade of stocks, options, futures, forex, metals and other commodities. Because of these systems, volatile movements in one major financial market (NYSE, Nikkei) can have drastic effects on the global prices of financial instruments. There are also financial information systems that serve as intelligent systems, expert systems, and knowledge-base systems, providing algorithms and tactical information for predicting price movements and providing decision-support for traders and investors. Several fund managers, hedge funds, and individual traders depend on these systems daily. Trillions of dollars go through global financial trading systems, and yet not enough academic research has been devoted to information systems for financial markets. Objective of the Book The vision for creating this body of research in one book is to take a much deeper look inside the systems and technologies that (1) provide intelligence and expertise to traders and investors, and (2) facilitate the agile ordering processes, networking, and regulation of global financial electronic markets. How these systems work to manipulate, move, and provide intelligence to the stock market is still a mystery to many students, and it is the intent of this book to provide real-world cases and examples that can unveil these systems to business students interested in financial trading, the dynamics of financial electronic markets, and the tactical technologies that facilitate the trading process and trading decisions. There is a growing demand for IT jobs in the financial sector, making this body of research very timely for university students. Target Audience This book is essential to both information systems and finance students and practitioners, who are looking forward to a profession that deals with technology-enabled systems in the finance sector. Several universities have their own finance trading room, where students enrolled in some courses are asked to manage stock portfolios using these systems. In such context, this book is an ideal reference or supplement for courses that deal with stock trading and investments using trading technologies. IS students, practitioners, and faculty are also beginning to realize that the Finance sector is a sector that information systems graduates can work with due to the increasing demand for technical skills in this sector. Likewise, students of finance are aware that information systems are critical and necessary tools in their discipline as well. Recommended Topics ? Electronic Communication Networks (ECNs) or Financial E-Markets ? Technologies used for predicting and forecasting stock price movements ? Online brokerage trading systems and technologies ? Use of technology for integrating global stock market trading systems ? Impact of technology as enablers of financial market integration ? Supercomputers for Flash Trading or High Frequency Trading Systems ? Effect of Institutional investors and hedge funds trading tactics in electronic markets ? Emerging technologies for financial trading systems ? Decision-support for financial trading systems ? Knowledge management and Expert systems for finance and investments ? The use of technology in regulating financial electronic markets ? How SEC Rules and Regulations are incorporated in electronic trading systems ? Visual knowledge representations, 3D Heat Maps, and Intelligent charting systems ? Mobile and Ubiquitous Financial trading systems ? Transforming the Behavior Dynamics of Financial Markets with Disruptive Technologies Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before April 8, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by April 21, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by July 30, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

The main focus of TEAR is EA methods, approaches, and tools, and how they are used in practice. More specifically the goals of the conference are to further a better understanding of the practice of TEAR and improve the theory behind the practice, contributing to improved TEAR practice and to the sharing of knowledge. TEAR 2010 will be the 5th workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research. It follows the success of TEAR 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, which attracted over 50 participants from all over the world, representing both industry and academia. This indicates that Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained substantial of popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. The interactive format of the conference sparked constructive interaction between research and practice. The target for TEAR 2010 is to further strengthen this interaction by organizing a collaborative working session within the conference program. The most up-to-date information about TEAR can always be found at: http://tear.enterpriseengineeringnetwork.org. Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: case studies, combining BPM and EA, drivers and obstacles of EA dissemination, EA and e-government, EA and organizational theory, EA and system development, EA business cases, EA communication and marketing, EA for small and medium-sized companies, EA governance and integration into corporate/IT governance, EA in university and executive education, EA reference models, meta models and frameworks, EA usage in corporate strategic planning, EA usage potentials for the networked enterprise, Enterprise modeling, EA and MDA, Modeling of EA dynamics, Event-driven architecture, Evolution of an EA, Incorporation of knowledge management and software engineering in EA, Integrating service oriented and legacy architectures, Managing complexity in EA, Maturity models for EA artifacts and processes, Methodologies for EA research, Processes and patterns for EA development. Event Format ------------ TEAR is a highly interactive event. The conference will be organized at a venue that stimulates discussion and open exchange of ideas and experiences. In addition to highly interactive paper sessions the event will include a number of parallel think-tank sessions focusing on various topics, aiming for further development of issues and directions shared between practice and academia. Paper types ----------- Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practices. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in- depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. Research papers describe original research contributions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) to the area of EA. A research paper should clearly describe the situation or problem that is tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential or the evaluated benefits of the contribution. Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Idea papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging EA challenges. They should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of the current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. Submission guidelines --------------------- Papers should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to TEAR as described in the topics section. Papers submitted for consideration must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the duration of consideration. Papers are not to exceed 15 pages, including all references and figures. All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Springer/LNBIP camera-ready format and be submitted electronically (in PDF) via the submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tear2010. All submissions should include title, authors, and full contact information.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Fwd: Reminder: CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS: Virtual Community Participation and Motivation: Cross-Disciplinary Theories Datum: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:59:51 +0100 Von: Honglei Li <violahl(a)gmail.com> An: Air-L(a)listserv.aoir.org, irma-l(a)irma-international.org, 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 April 13, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by May 28, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by July 13, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

Fwd: [WI] Erinnerung: CfP Methodische Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen (MEMWe2010)
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Erinnerung: CfP Methodische Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen (MEMWe2010) Datum: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 10:38:09 +0200 Von: Jens Gulden <jens.gulden(a)uni-duisburg-essen.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, ankuendigungen(a)gi-modellierung.de, swt-de(a)informatik.uni-siegen.de Call for Papers ----------------------------------- 2. Workshop Methodische Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen (MEMWe2010) auf der Konferenz INFORMATIK 2010 in Leipzig am 29.9.2010 http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MEMWe2010/ Einreichungen bis 25.4.2010 ----------------------------------- Thema: Modellierungssprachen für spezifische Anwendungszwecke ermöglichen den Umgang mit semantisch gehaltvollen und konsistenten Modellen. Diese bilden die Grundlage für zielgerichtete Analysen und automatische Transformationen. Eine effiziente Nutzung neu erstellter Modellierungssprachen erfordert allerdings den Einsatz geeigneter Modellierungswerkzeuge, um Modelle darstellbar und editierbar zu machen. In der Theorie können derartige Werkzeuge weitgehend automatisch, z.B. mittels generativer Verfahren aus Sprachbeschreibungen, erzeugt werden. Bei der Anwendung von Tools zur Modellierungswerkzeugentwicklung zeigen sich jedoch methodische Herausforderungen, deren Überwindung notwendige Voraussetzung für die Nutzung neu entworfener Modellierungssprachen ist. Die MEMWe Workshopreihe bietet ein Forum zum Erfahrungsaustausch über die Erstellung lauffähiger Modellierungswerkzeuge. Dabei werden Werkzeuge, Methoden und Architekturen diskutiert, die bei der Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen zum Einsatz kommen. Unter anderem sind damit das Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) mit ergänzenden Komponenten wie dem Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) angesprochen. Der Workshop richtet den Blick aber auch auf alternative Ansätze und nimmt eine kritische Perspektive auf diese Komponenten ein. Als Einreichungen sind Beiträge über Forschungsprojekte willkommen, in denen lauffähige Modellierungswerkzeuge realisiert wurden, sowie Arbeiten, die die Methodik und Architektur bei der Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen in den Blick nehmen. Dazu zählen Diagramm-Editoren im engeren Sinn, aber auch beispielsweise textuelle Modelleditoren oder Software-Umgebungen zur Transformation oder Analyse von Modellen. Einreichungen können unter anderem Fragen der folgenden Art behandeln: - Wie können formale Sprachbeschreibungen, z.B. Metamodelle oder Grammatiken, zur Teilautomatisierung der Werkzeugerstellung verwendet werden, und wie lassen sich die abstrakte und konkrete Syntax von Modellierungssprachen vorbereitend für die Software-Entwicklung angeben? - Welche methodischen Implikationen birgt die Anwendung von Code-Generierungsverfahren zur Werkzeugentwicklung, und wo bestehen Trade-offs zwischen der Verwendung von generiertem Code und der Nutzung von Runtime-Frameworks? - Welche Rolle spielen Modelleditoren als Endbenutzer-Schnittstelle ("Models at Runtime"), und wo verschwimmt durch "Models at Runtime" die Grenze zwischen der Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen und der Anwendungsentwicklung? - Wie lassen sich bei paralleler Weiterentwicklung von Modellierungssprache, Modellierungswerkzeug und erstellen Modelldaten die zu erwartende Versionierungskonflikte methodisch handhaben? Beiträge zu angrenzenden Themen sind gerne erwünscht. Beitragsformat: Als Einreichung sollte ein maximal 6-seitiger Kurzbeitrag erstellt werden. Die angenommen Workshopbeiträge werden in einem gemeinsamen Tagungsband der GI-Reihe "Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)" erscheinen und sollten als PDF Datei mit einer der LNIFormatvorlagen (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/) ohne Angaben von Seitenzahlen erstellt werden. Für angenommene Beiträge besteht die Möglichkeit, ergänzend eine 12-seitige Langfassung in der elektronischen Version des Tagungsbands zu veröffentlichen. Alle Einreichungen erfolgen über das Konferenzverwaltungssystem unter http://139.18.8.225:8080/ConfISS/portal/conferenceOverview.html?cid=18.
