Webpages: http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/aca10 (Special Session) http://aca2010.info/index.php/aca2010/aca2010 (Conference) Overview: Symbolic Computation techniques are playing a significant role outside its traditional application areas in Computer Algebra. Over recent decades they have been successfully employed in several areas of traditional artificial intelligent systems such as automated reasoning, constraint solving or interactive tutoring. Conversely intelligent and knowledge based techniques have made their way into main stream symbolic computation such as the integration of equational reasoning into Computer Algebra systems. In this session we will be interested in a variety of application of symbolic computation in knowledge based artificial intelligence systems and vice versa of incorporation of AI techniques and mathematical knowledge into computer algebra. We will also be interested in representation issues arising from these combinations as well as in the role played by ontologies in linking symbolic computation and AI as illustrated by Wolfram|Alpha. The scope of the session therefore includes the following topics: -- System combinations and integrations -- Knowledge acquisition and representation -- Application areas Call for Contributions: If you are interested in giving a presentation at this session, please email an abstract to one of the organisers. Presentations will be up to 30 min in length, including time for discussion. Deadline: The tentative deadline for submissions is May 21st, 2010.

The submission deadline is June 15, 2010. The detailed CfP is copied below. We cordially invite original research contributions to the focus theme or to general research on electronic markets and networked business from all potential authors. Please note that general research articles can be submitted anytime whereas focus theme articles have to be submitted by the deadline shown in the CfP. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to interested colleagues. If questions arise regarding the submission deadline or potential topics please contact the editorial office (editors(a)electronicmarkets.org <mailto:editors@electronicmarkets.org>). With best regards, Karen Heyden ******************************************************************** Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business 2^nd Call for Papers for Focus Theme Section on 'Information and Data Quality in Networked Business' ********************************************************************* Guest Editors: * Boris Otto, University of St. Gallen (CH) * Yang W. Lee, Northeastern University (US) * Ismael Caballero Muñoz-Reja, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (ES) Background and Objective: Today's competition in global markets is not among businesses, but among business networks. As business networks become increasingly dynamic and relationships between nodes in a business network become more and more complex, requirements regarding the quality of information and data which is exchanged within a networked business gains importance and gets business critical. An example from the consumer goods/retail industry is the quality requirement for carbon footprint information which has to be managed all the way from raw material production to shelf labeling in the stores. And also the recent financial and economic crisis showed the important role information and data quality play in interwoven industries and value chains, as the case of German KfW bank shows which issued a hundreds of millions of EUR worth transaction to Lehman Brothers after the latter had already filed for bankruptcy. Questions of information and quality, however, have so far been discussed primarily with an intra-company focus. Existing research mainly covers organizational and technical aspects of information and data quality within the boundaries of a certain enterprise. Research investigating the role of information and data quality in networked business is still in its infancy. The proposed special issue aims at the advancement of information and data quality research in networked business and electronic markets. It explicitly solicits both theoretical contributions and research work which is grounded in practice. Topics Covered The special issue covers the following topics (but is not limited to those): . Information and data quality requirements in networked business . Information and data quality reporting in networked business . Data governance in networked business . Cross-company life-cycle management . Methods and tools to manage information and data quality in networked business . Data provenance in networked business . Information and data architectures in networked business . Management and exchange of information and data quality metadata . Information and data supply chains and data synchronization . Inter-organizational standardization initiatives such as GS1, ISO 8000 etc. . Information and data quality in inter-organizational information systems . Community and collaboration approaches for information and data quality management . Industry-specific cases, e.g. from automotive, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals etc. . Application scenarios such as SCM, electronic catalogue etc. Additional topic suggestions are welcome. All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets' publication standards. Methodological and theoretical pluralism (empirical or theoretical work, qualitative research, design science, prototypes etc.) is welcomed by the journal. Full papers are invited to be submitted by June 15, 2010. All papers must be original, not published or under review elsewhere.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP E-government interoperability, enterprise architecture and strategies

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP E-government interoperability, enterprise architecture and strategies Datum: Thu, 20 May 2010 05:13:52 +0200 Von: Janssen, Marijn <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special Issue on E-government interoperability, enterprise architecture and strategies Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research Guest editors; Marijn Janssen, Yannis Charalabidis, George Kuk and Tony Cresswell In the digital era public organizations are changing their strategies and structures and processes to fully benefit from the promises of ICT. Departments and institutions collaborate and interoperate across organizational boundaries. Whilst e-government was initially driven by adopting e-commerce ideas. in the last decade, it has emerged as a new genre of research. Similar to e-commerce, e-government requires multi-agency collaboration and integration of their disparate business processes and information systems. The unique characteristics of e-governme nt including accountability, transparency and equal access have played a major role and produced a different kind of e-commerce in meeting the broader expectations of society. A key prerequisite for collaboration is interoperability, which can be defined as the ability of systems to work together seamlessly and are able to adapt in time, achieving one-stop, automated service provision for citizens and businesses. Therefore, the design and operation of interoperable systems require a range of consideration including governance, organizational, strategic, social and technical issues. Interoperability not only presents organizations with technical challenge but also requires a shift in strategies and change in organizational structures and business models. Traditional bureaucratic organizations governed by command and control mechanisms are replaced by different kind of organizational structures, aiming to build horizontal relationships and network governance. All these e fforts need to be facilitated by a next generation infrastructure (NGI) enabling interoperability and reuse by sharing services. The basic digital government infrastructure has evolved over time.The development towards the next generation of digital government infrastructure (NGI) based on new technologies is under development. Yet, the siloed and fragmented nature, the lack in insight among the dependencies among organizational and technical aspects can hamper progress. Government enterprise architectures (GEA) or information's architectures are used as an instrument to facilitate these developments by outlining the vision, providing models for technology inclusion and integration supported by standards and principles. Whereas infrastructure refers to the actual implementation, GEA has a conceptual nature. Often there is no overarching framework helping to provide guidance for ensuring interoperability, facilitating reuse and meeting other objectives of open, inclusive and productive governance. Interoperability, architecture and strategies are important to all types of government activities, including policy making, services delivery, law enforc ement, and crisis response within the pubic sector. This special issue is aimed at contributing to the understanding formulation and elaboration of the issues involved in e-government interoperability, enterprise architectures, and solutions and strategies for governments, based on a combination of sound theoretical basis and empirical research. Papers preferably combine theory and empirical research. The special issue seeks scholarly manuscripts that explore the following topics in relation to e-government interoperability, architecture and strategies: - Example and (best) practices of changing strategies and business models underpinned by theories - Architecture for facilitating strategies and technologies - Public-private architectures frameworks, collaboration in networks - G overnment 2.0 - Government-to-citizens, government-to-business, government-to-government - Innovations, process redesign and technologies- - Enterprise architecture standards, prin ciples and frameworks - Free and open source software development and utilization - Service-oriented architectures, web services, semantic web services, service orchestration and composition - System, data- and process-based integration and transformation - Identity management, privacy, security, public values - Information reuse, information quality, ontologies and semantics - Process, data and semantic modeling - Next generation infrastructure, grid computing, cloud computing, ICT-(shared) services, and scalability issues - Public values, evaluation of innovations - Software as service, utility computing, platform as service, service providers - Infrastructure, interoperability and enterprise architecture planning, and alignment - Evolution, impact anal yses and cost/benefit analysis - Policies, strategies and governance About JTAER The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (JTAER) has been created to allow researchers, acade micians and other professionals an agile and flexible channel of communication in which to share and debate new ideas and emerging technologies concerned with this rapidly evolving field.
