-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: GameSec 2010 - Deadline extended to 31 May 2010 Datum: Fri, 14 May 2010 14:30:37 +0300 Von: Albert Levi <levi(a)sabanciuniv.edu> Organisation: Sabanci University An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** Paper submission deadline extended. New deadline is 31 May 2010. *** CALL FOR PAPERS GameSec 2010 - Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security 22-23 November 2010, Berlin, Germany www.gamesec-conf.org *** Important Dates Submission deadline: 31 May 2010 Acceptance date: 23 August 2010 Camera-ready due: 15 September 2010 *** Industry Gold Sponsor: Deutsche Telekom Laboratories Industry Silver Sponsor: Frauenhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute Technical co-sponsors: IEEE Control System Society International Society of Dynamic Games In-cooperation with ACM SIGSAC *** GameSec 2010, the inaugural Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security will take place on the campus of Technical University Berlin, Germany, on November 22-23, 2010. Securing complex and networked systems and managing associated risks become increasingly important as they play an indispensible role in modern life at the turn of the information age. Concurrently, security of ubiquitous communication, data, and computing pose novel research challenges. Security is a multi-faceted problem due to the complexity of underlying hardware, software, and network inter- dependencies as well as human and social factors. It involves decision making in multiple levels and multiple time scales, given the limited resources available to both malicious attackers and administrators defending networked systems. GameSec conference aims to bring together researchers who aim to establish a theoretical foundation for making resource allocation decisions that balance available capabilities and perceived security risks in a principled manner. The conference focuses analytical models based on game, information, communication, optimization, decision, and control theories that are applied to diverse security topics. At the same time, the connection between theoretical models and real world security problems are emphasized to establish the important feedback loop between theory and practice. Observing the scarcity of venues for researchers who try to develop a deeper theoretical understanding of the underlying incentive and resource allocation issues in security, we believe that GameSec will fill an important void and serve as a distinguished forum of highest standards for years to come. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Security games * Security and risk management * Mechanism design and incentives * Decentralized security algorithms * Security of networked systems * Security of Web-based services * Security of social networks * Intrusion and anomaly detection * Resource allocation for security * Optimized response to malware * Identity management * Privacy and security * Reputation and trust * Information security and watermarking * Physical layer security in wireless networks * Information theoretic aspects of security * Adversarial machine learning * Distributed learning for security * Cross-layer security * Usability and security * Human behavior and security * Dynamic control of security systems * Organizational aspects of risk management * Cooperation and competition in security * and more... *** Submission instructions will be available on the conference website. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of their full papers in the announced format and in a font no smaller than 10-points. The initial submissions are limited to 12 single-column pages to decrease the workload of volunteer reviewers. The camera-ready version of accepted papers is limited to 20 single-column pages. The conference language is English. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The proceedings will also be made available online by Springer in full-text electronic form via Springerlink. *** Steering Board Tansu Alpcan (TU-Berlin, T-Labs) Nick Bambos (Stanford Univ.)

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: 4th International Web Rule Symposium
by Gustaf Neumann 14 May '10

14 May '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: 4th International Web Rule Symposium Datum: Fri, 14 May 2010 23:15:34 +0800 (HKT) Von: jessica.rowsell(a)beaconwall.com <jessica.rowsell(a)beaconwall.com> Antwort an: jessica.rowsell(a)beaconwall.com <jessica.rowsell(a)beaconwall.com> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Apologies for multiple postings] 2nd Call for Papers RuleML-2010 4th International Web Rule Symposium: Research Based and Industry Focused October 21-23, 2010, Washington, DC, USA Co-located with the 13th Business Rules Forum http://2010.ruleml.org/ Overview and Aim ====================================================== The International Web Rule Symposium has evolved from an annual series of international workshops since 2002, international conferences in 2005 and 2006, and international symposia since 2007. This year, the 4th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML-2010) will be held near Washington, DC, USA, co-located with the 13th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest Business Rules event. RuleML-2010 is devoted to practical distributed rule technologies and rule-based applications, which need language standards for rules (inter)operating in, e.g., the Semantic Web, Enterprise Systems, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications. RuleML-2010 is a research-based, industry-focused symposium: its main goal is to build a bridge between academia and industry in the field of rules and semantic technology, and so to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability between business and research, by bringing together rule system providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open source communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in practical rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2010 will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range of thematic tracks. It will thus be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas and experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration, interoperation, and interchange of rules in distributed enterprise intranets and open distributed environments. Conference Theme ====================================================== This year, we particularly welcome submissions that address applications of Web rule technologies for business and information systems. We invite you to share your ideas, results, and experiences: as an industry practitioner, rule system provider, technical expert, developer, rule user or researcher, exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, or using rule-based systems. We invite high-quality submissions related to (but not limited to) one or more of the following topics: Track Topics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rules, Semantic Technology, and Cross-Industry Standards Rules in current industry standards, including: * XBRL: Extensible Business Reporting Language * MISMO: Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Org * FIXatdl: FIX Algorithmic Trading Definition Language * FpML: Financial products Markup Language * HL7: Health Level 7 * Acord: Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development (Insurance Industry) * Rules for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), e.g., rules for internal audit, SOX compliance, enterprise risk management (ERM), operational risk, etc * Rules and Corporate Actions - Rule Transformation and Extraction * Transformation and extraction with rule standards, such as SBVR, RIF and OCL * Extraction of rules from code * Transformation and extraction in the context of frameworks such as KDM (Knowledge Discovery meta-model) * Extraction of rules from natural language * Transformation or rules from one dialect into another - Rules and Uncertainty * Languages for the formalization of uncertainty rules * Probabilistic, fuzzy and other rule frameworks for reasoning with uncertain or incomplete information * Handling inconsistent or disparate rules using uncertainty * Uncertainty extensions of event processing rules, business rules, reactive rules, causal rules, derivation rules, association rules, or transformation rules - Rules and Norms * Methodologies for modeling regulations using both ontologies and rules * Defeasibility and norms: modeling rule exceptions and priority relations among rules * The relationship between rules and legal argumentation schemes * Rule language requirements for the "isomorphic" modeling of legislation * Rule based inference mechanism for legal reasoning * E-contracting and automated negotiations with rule-based declarative strategies - Rules and Inferencing * From rules to FOL to modal logics * Rule-based non-monotonic reasoning * Rule-based reasoning with modalities * Deontic rule-based reasoning * Temporal rule-based reasoning * Priorities handling in rule-based systems * Defeasible reasoning * Rule-based reasoning about context and its use in smart environments * Combination of rules and ontologies * Modularity - Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules * Reaction rule languages and engines (production rules, ECA rules, logic event action formalisms, vocabularies/ontologies) * State management approaches and frameworks * Concurrency control and scalability * Event and action definition, detection, consumption, termination, lifecycle management * Dynamic rule-based workflows and intelligent event processing (rule-based CEP) * Non-functional requirements, use of annotations, metadata to capture those * Design time and execution time aspects of rule-based (Semantic) Business Processes Modeling and Management * Practical and business aspects of rule-based (Semantic) Business Process Management (business scenarios, case studies, use cases etc.) - Rule-Based Distributed/Multi-Agent Systems * rule-based specification and verification of distributed and multi-agent system * rule-based distributed reasoning and problem solving * rule-based agent architectures * rules and ontologies for semantic agents * rule-based interaction protocols for multi-agent systems * rules for service-oriented computing (discovery, composition, etc.) * rule-based cooperation, coordination and argumentation in multi-agent systems * rule-based e-contracting and negotiation strategies in multi-agent systems * rule interchange and reasoning interoperation in heterogeneous Distributed/Multi-Agent Systems We also welcome submissions on miscellaneous rule topics, such as - Rules and ontologies - Execution models, rule engines, and environments - Graphical processing, modeling and rendering of rules Case studies, experience reports, and industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged. RuleML-2010 Challenge ====================================================== The RuleML-2010 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2010. Rules are used in interesting and practically relevant ways to, e.g., derive useful information, transform knowledge, provide decision support, and provide automated rule-based monitoring, enforcement, validation or management of the behavioral logic of an application. The Challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications. This year Rule Challenge will have the following theme: "Modelling Rules in the Temporal and Geospatial Applications" The participants of the Challenge have the opportunity to understand the current trend of rule technology and standard development in the temporal and geospatial domain including: - temporal modelling and reasoning; - geospatial modelling and reasoning; - cross linking between temporal and geospatial knowledge; - visualization of the rules with graphics models in order to favour the end-user interaction. See, for more details (including submission guidelines) http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/ruleml2010/ruleml-2010-challenge.html Conference Language ====================================================== The official language of the conference will be English. Submission ====================================================== Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance and technical rigor in the field, experience reports and show/use case demonstrations of effective and practical rule-based technologies, or applications deployed in distributed environments.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Deadline extended: MCIS 2010: Information Economics & Business Datum: Thu, 13 May 2010 20:46:31 +0300 Von: Daphne Raban <draban(a)gsb.haifa.ac.il> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the MCIS 2010 conference (http://www.mcis2010.org) and particularly to our track on Information Economics and Business. A description of the track is included below. Important dates: Deadline for all submissions: *May 15*, 2010 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2010 Camera-ready versions: July 15, 2010 Conference: September 12-14, 2010 5th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems - MCIS 2010 Tel Aviv, Israel, September 2010 Track proposal Track title: *Information Economics and Business * * * Track description: ** *Information is a constant challenge to economic theory and business practice. It is ubiquitous and still hard to find on demand, over-abundant and still insufficiently available to decision-makers, subject to private ownership while it is, by nature, meant to be free. The increased digitization of information and the rise of the Internet as key medium that accommodates it as both "stocks" and "flows" account for a wide range of innovative developments in managing information at large. The Economics of Information, born as a stand-alone discipline in the pre-digital phase of the post-industrial age, is now facing the challenge of shaping the underlying rationalities applicable to dealing with information across organizations, markets, communities and networks. * * * *Organizational boundaries are blurred when it comes to information systems. Technologies that were conceived in the public domain find their way to organizational applications. Systems that were previously well-defined products are turning more and more into service models which are provided by external suppliers. How do companies monetize previously non-marketable technologies or information resources? How do decision makers evaluate such systems and resources? Are the known business models sufficient or are new models needed to sustain the technological and cultural changes brought about by the advent of creative industries and the rise of the creative class? These are some of the questions that this track wishes to address.* * * *We invite submissions of papers (academic and practical, full research and research-in-progress) dealing with, but not limited to, the following:* *IS investment decisions* *IS performance and ROI* *New information business models * *Information markets* *Innovative pricing of digital goods* *The value of information* *Web 2.0-based collaborative economy* *Proprietary vs. Open Source Software * *Digital information: fee or free ?* We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP International Workshop on The Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE'10)
by Gustaf Neumann 13 May '10

13 May '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP International Workshop on The Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE'10) Datum: Thu, 13 May 2010 01:30:55 +0200 Von: Jose-Norberto Mazon <jnmazon(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: jnmazon(a)dlsi.ua.es An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers International Workshop on The Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE'10) http://gplsi.dlsi.ua.es/congresos/were10 In conjuntion with Requirements Engineering (RE 2010) Conference Sydney, Australia, September 28th, 2010 Conference Web Site: http://www.re10.org Motivation& Purpose -------------------- The International Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE) will offer an international forum for exchanging ideas on both using Web technologies as a platform for requirements engineering, and applying requirements engineering in the development and use of web-based applications. We invite to submit original, high-quality papers that present on-going work on new ideas and experiences with Requirements Engineering and the Web. The workshop will focus on discussion and exchange of ideas among researchers, designers, and users who are working or are interested in any combination of these two main topics. In the last decade, the number and complexity of web-based applications and the amount of information they offer has been growing exponentially. In the context of Software Engineering, design methods and methodologies have been introduced to support the development of these complex applications in a systematic way. However, most of these methodologies focus on design and neglect other tasks, notably requirement analysis and quality management. However, in the development of traditional (non-web) applications both practitioners and process experts regard requirements engineering as a phase of crucial importance in the development process. It is well-known that the most common and time-consuming errors as well as the most expensive ones to repair, are those caused by inadequate engineering of requirements. Moreover, web-based applications demand new requirements engineering techniques that need to be adapted to a large, open and changing community which can deal with navigational requirements, and broad in scope so that they can account for business processes as well as web usability. These new techniques will need to offer more participatory environments to support effective collaboration among stakeholders. In this context, the Web (especially Web 2.0 applications), provide a convenient platform to allow stakeholders and users alike more active participation in requirements engineering. Topics of interest ------------------ The scope of the WeRE workshop includes but is not limited to: -Web requirements elicitation and analysis -Web requirements validation and verification -Web engineering methods and tools supporting requirements -Traceability in Web requirements -Modeling of requirements, goals, and domains in Web engineering -Prototyping and simulation in Web requirements engineering -Evolution of Web requirements -Alignment between business and Web requirements -Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in Web requirements engineering -User-centred analysis and design -Domain specific modelling languages addressing requirements for Web applications -Web 2.0 and requirements engineering -Requirements engineering for rich internet applications -Model-driven approaches based on requirements models for Web applications and rich internet applications Submission Guidelines --------------------- We encourage two types of original papers depending on the maturity of the work: full papers (must not exceed 8 pages) and short papers (must not exceed 4 pages). Full papers should include evidence to support the contribution (e.g. proof of concept, or case studies) and discussion on research findings and their theoretical and practical significance. Short papers can report on going research activities showing preliminary results. Paper submission will be electronic by using the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=were2010 Accepted papers will be published as workshop proceedings in the IEEE Digital Library. The paper submission must be in the IEEE CS Press Proceedings format (see guidelines at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). We are also negotiating a special issue in a JCR journal for the publication of extended versions of the best contributions to the workshop.

Fwd: [WI] 4th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management
by Gustaf Neumann 12 May '10

12 May '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 4th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management Datum: Wed, 12 May 2010 09:38:01 +0200 Von: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> [ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ] 4th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management collocated with BPM 2010 Hoboken, NJ, USA from September 13-16, 2010 http://www.bpm2010.org/conference-events/workshops/edbpm10/ Introduction -------------------------- The recently coined term «Event-Driven Business Process Management» (EDBPM) is nowadays an enhancement of BPM by new concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). In this context BPM means a software platform which provides companies the ability to model, manage, and optimize these processes for significant gain. As an independent system, CEP is a parallel running platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and the CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the BPM-workflow engine and by the -- if distributed - IT services which are associated with the business process steps. Also events coming from different event sources in different forms can trigger a business process or influence the execution of a process or a service, which can result in another event. Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular context can be treated as a complex, business level event, relevant for the execution of other business processes or services. A business process -- arbitrarily fine or coarse grained -- can be seen as a service again and can be "choreographed" with other business processes or services, even between different enterprises and organizations. Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides significant benefits: * Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and processes respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they happen. * Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements. * Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without breaking the process model. Workshop Themes -------------------------- Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the prior described problem domain. * Event-driven BPM: Concepts o Role of event processing in BPM o Business Events: types and representation o Event stream processing in business processes o Data- and event-driven business processes o Evaluation/ROI of event-driven BPM o Event-driven SOA o EDA and BPM o Real/time awareness in BPM o Context in BPM * Design-time CEP and BPM o Modelling languages, notations and methods for event-driven BPM o Event Patterns: Definition / Creation / Representation / Learning o BPMN and event processing o Modelling unknown/similar events in business processes o Modelling events in human-oriented tasks o Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM o Publish/subscription mechanism and process modelling * Run-time CEP and BPM o Event pattern detection o BPEL and event processing o Reasoning about unknown/similar events o Distributed event processing o Dynamic workflows o Ad-hoc workflows * Applications/Use cases for event-driven BPM o Event-driven monitoring/BAM o Event-driven SLA monitoring o Domains: Logistics, Automotive, ... o Event processing and Internet of Services Workshop Format -------------------------- The Workshop is planned as a full-day event, including a keynote, paper presentations, lightning talks, demos, posters, and a moderated, open discussion with the clear goal of agreeing upon a research roadmap for event-driven Business Process Management research, by taking into account new challenges, described earlier. A possible agenda: * 9:00 -- 9:30 Opening and Keynote * 9:30 -- 13:00 Paper Presentations * 13:00 -- 14:00 Lunch * 14:00 -- 15:00 Lightning Talks * 15:30 -- 17:00 Moderated Community Discussion: A Roadmap for Event-driven Business Process Management Research * 18:00 -- 21:00 Poster and Demo Presentations and Get-Together For the keynote, we aim at a high-profile speaker, who will give a rather visionary view on the role of Future Internet for BPM and vice versa. For the moderated community discussion, we will have senior experts from our Program Committee and Experts from an industrial background. A clear objective of that discussion is to yield a first draft of a respective research agenda. Important Dates -------------------------- Deadline paper submissions: 21 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 30 June 2010 Camera-ready papers: 25 July 2010 Workshops: 13 September 2010 Submission -------------------------- The following types of submission are solicited: * Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long. * Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6 pages long. * Use case submission, describing results from an edBPM use case. These papers should be at most 4 pages long. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (Long Paper/ Short Paper).

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: First Annual Workshop on Health IT and Economics (WHITE 2010)
by Gustaf Neumann 12 May '10

12 May '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: First Annual Workshop on Health IT and Economics (WHITE 2010) Datum: Tue, 11 May 2010 10:28:13 -0400 Von: Ritu Agarwal <ragarwal(a)rhsmith.umd.edu> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *WHITE 2010* *The First Annual Workshop on Health IT and Economics* *October 8-9, 2010, Washington, DC* _http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/chids/white_ *Chair:* Ritu Agarwal *Program co-chairs:* Guodong (Gordon) Gao and Jeffrey S. McCullough Health information technology (IT) holds the potential to improve the quality and reduce the cost of healthcare delivery. However, this potential has yet to be realized. Significant challenges remain regarding design, implementation, utilization, and evaluation of health IT, and there is a compelling need for research that can inform both policymakers and practitioners. The /Workshop on Health IT and Economics (WHITE)/ will expand the frontiers of health IT research. This workshop will provide a forum for leading researchers to disseminate their work and network within a growing and vibrant community. /WHITE/ will foster collaborations between academia, government, and industry. The workshop will also offer policymakers and practitioners the opportunity to shape the evolving health IT research agenda. Likewise, researchers will gain insights into emerging issues of practice and policy. Ultimately, a full understanding of health IT and its implications can only be gained through an interdisciplinary approach that crosses traditional academic silos. Insight into the unique challenges and opportunities that health IT poses requires collaboration across diverse fields of research including business, economics, health services, health informatics, and computer science. A key objective of /WHITE/ is to build and nurture such as interdisciplinary research community. We solicit papers on a wide range of topics, including: understanding technology adoption barriers; managing the assimilation of health IT into workflows and organizations; quantifying the benefits of health IT investments; designing measures and incentives for meaningful use; defining health data standards; developing business models for health information exchanges; and measuring how patients utilize online clinical information. The first annual /WHITE /meeting will be held in Washington DC in October 8-9, 2010. The workshop will be hosted by the Center for Health Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS) at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, College Park. CHIDS (_www.rhsmith.umd.edu/chids_ <http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/chids>) was established in 2005, and is the first academic research center focused on health information and decision systems in a leading business school. Please submit an extended abstract of no more than 5 pages to *whitepaper(a)rhsmith.umd.edu *by *Aug 10, 2010*. The abstract can be based on work-in-progress or work published within the past year. Abstracts will be reviewed for novelty, rigor, and policy impact. Authors will be notified of decisions within three weeks.
