Fwd: [AISWorld] European Design Science Workshop - Ireland/Leixlip
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] European Design Science Workshop - Ireland/Leixlip Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:57:07 +0100 From: Markus Helfert <markus.helfert(a)computing.dcu.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org As part of the Intel European Research and Innovation Conference (Ireland) the Innovation Value Institute (www.ivi.ie) is co-organising the "European Design Science Workshop" on Thursday, 14th of October 2010 at Intel Ireland in Leixlip, Ireland The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum and platform for both researchers and practitioners. The workshop is geared at the exchange of knowledge, experiences and to discuss ideas on how design science can be applied to research in IT. Further Information: ==================== http://www.intel.com/corporate/education/emea/event/irc/ireland/workshops.h… Registration Deadline: 1 October, 2010 Background: =========== Design Science creates and evaluates IT artefacts intended to solve identified organizational problems. Such artefacts are represented in a structured form that may vary from software, formal logic, and rigorous mathematics to informal natural language descriptions. The rich phenomena that emerge from the interaction of people, organizations, and technology may need to be qualitatively assessed to yield an understanding of the phenomena adequate for theory development or problem solving. As field studies enable behavioural-science researchers to understand organizational phenomena in context, the process of constructing and exercising innovative IT artefacts enable design-science researchers to understand the problem addressed by the artefact and the feasibility of their approach to its solution. Developing innovative artefacts is a central activity in Design Science Research. Such artefacts can be in the form of constructs, models, methods or instantiations. For the construction of such artefacts two basic activities can be differentiated: build and evaluate where building “is the process of constructing an artefact for a specific purpose” and evaluation “is the process of determining how well the artefact performs”. This workshop will explore current thinking and emerging challenges in the application of Design Science in IT. Guests Speakers: ================ Prof. Alan Hevner (University of South Florida) Prof. Sven Carlsson (Lund University) Mr. Jonas Sjostrom (Uppsala University) Dr. Markus Helfert (Dublin City University) Topics: ======= *What makes projects different when using a design science approach? *What are typical design science projects? *What are the challenges in a design science project? *What are the advantages and limitations of following a design science approach? *How can practitioners’ benefit from a design science approach? *What is the role of researchers and practitioners in design science projects? *What is the demand for design science projects? In addition to presentations and shared experiences from invited guest speakers, we encourage participants to actively contribute and participate in the discussions. In order to provide a platform for innovative ideas and initiating collaborative projects, participants have the opportunity to outline or propose design science oriented projects. Proposals may include existing projects, challenges and problems or project ideas. -- ---------------------------------------------------- Dr. Markus Helfert School of Computing Dublin City University Glasnevin Dublin 9, Ireland Head of Business Informatics Research Group http://www.computing.dcu.ie/big/ Programme Chair European MSc in Business Informatics Lecturer in Information Systems http://www.computing.dcu.ie/europeanmbi/ Phone: +353-1-700-8727 Fax: +353-1-700-5442 Office: L2.26 Email: markus.helfert(a)computing.dcu.ie http://www.computing.dcu.ie ---------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Call for papers: Journal of Computational Science special issue on Social Computational Systems Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 20:38:09 -0500 From: Nitin Agarwal <nagarwa6(a)asu.edu> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Journal of Computational Science Special Issue on Social Computational Systems (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/721195/descrip…) Guest Editors: Nitin Agarwal (nxagarwal(a)ualr.edu) and Xiaowei Xu (xwxu(a)ualr.edu) Social computing is concerned with the study of social behavior and social context based on computational systems. Behavioral modeling reproduces the social behavior, and allows for experimenting, scenario planning, and deep understanding of behavior, patterns, and potential outcomes. The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies provides an unprecedented environment of various social activities. Social computing facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, and prediction. Numerous interdisciplinary and interdependent systems are created and used to represent the various social and physical systems for investigating the interactions between individuals, groups, or nation-states. This requires an interdisciplinary effort leveraging the state-of-the-art research to create a better understanding of the problems from different perspectives in order to document lessons learned and develop novel theories, experiments, and methodologies in terms of social, physical, psychological, and governmental mechanisms. This special issue is interdisciplinary and provides a platform for researchers, and practitioners from sociology, behavioral science, computer science, psychology, cultural study, information systems, operations research to share and develop novel concepts, models, principles, simulations, and methodologies, aiming to bridge the gaps between paradigms, encourage interdisciplinary collaborations, advance and deepen our understanding of social and behavioral computing and evaluation in helping critical decision and policy making. Areas of Interests Articles are solicited on research issues, theories, and applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, Social role identification and prediction Influence process and recognition Detection of hidden relationships Public opinion representation Psycho-cultural situation awareness Search, data, and inference Group formation and evolution Analytic approaches Cultural patterns and representation Simulation methodology Social conventions and social contexts Tools and case studies Causal and non-linear relationships Metrics and evaluation Modeling, projection, and forecasting Social behaviors (norms, self-organizing, cooperation) Social network analysis and mining Viral marketing and information diffusion Group interaction and collaboration Data collection and benchmarks Group representation and profiling Social dynamics and infectious disease modeling Cultural modeling and dynamics Model and analysis complexity Important Dates Submission System (EES) opens: October 15, 2010 Abstract Submission: November 1, 2010 Full-Paper Submission deadline: November 15, 2010 Preliminary notification of acceptance: April 15, 2011 Camera-ready manuscript due: May 15, 2011 Submission Guidelines Articles will be submitted online through the EES system (URL will be released as soon as it is setup).

Fwd: [WI] REMINDER: Call for Paper - AAAI Spring Symposium 2011 "AI for Business Agility"
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Sep '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] REMINDER: Call for Paper - AAAI Spring Symposium 2011 "AI for Business Agility" Datum: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:17:39 +0200 Von: Telesko Rainer <rainer.telesko(a)fhnw.ch> An: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for papers AAAI Spring Symposium 2011 AI for Business Agility Stanford University, March 21-23, 2011 _http://www.fhnw.ch/iwi/ai4ba2011_ The topic: Business Agility is a topic of increasing interest, in particular boosted by the recent global financial crisis. For any business, anticipating changes and adapting quicker and more efficient is a challenge and various approaches such as cloud computing, Business-IT-Alignment, or context modelling try to provide solutions. There are two arbitrary principles leading to agility: change and maturating. Whereas the first is an explicit transformation of an enterprise architecture or well-defined part of it from a status A to a status A', the latter can be viewed as being a continuous improvement. Working on these various aspects of agility could bring together (research) communities of Enterprise Architecture Modelling and Artificial Intelligence. Here is a preliminary list of potential questions to be considered in talks and discussions: . How can change and maturity for business agility be modeled and measured? . How can enterprise architecture models for the alignment of business and IT be formalised? . What is the relation of enterprise ontologies and Enterprise Architecture frameworks? . How can anomalies in an Enterprise Architecture (e.g. defined roles which never appear in business processes) be detected? . What Business Intelligence techniques can be applied to discover patterns that are indicators for both maturing and changes? . How can agile business processes be modeled? . Are Business Rules an appropriate approach for requirements modelling and compliance? . Can Web 3.0 and Semantic Web Services be used to implement agile process orchestration and choreography allowing for new forms of cooperation in virtual organisations? . What techniques can be used to evaluate the degree of interoperability of an implemented Enterprise Architecture? . How can human-related aspects (e.g. social, cultural and collaboration issues) in an Enterprise Architecture be designed and formalized? The symposium on Business Agility aims to bring together the various communities to learn and benefit from each other in order to avoid pitfalls on one hand side and provide the ground for synergetic co-operations. Besides researchers, the participation of business people would be highly beneficial for providing input about real-world business requirements. Relevant topics that would be considered for contributions to the symposium include but are not limited to: . Semantically enriched enterprise architecture models . Enterprise Ontologies . Knowledge Maturing and Learning . Context awareness . The role of ontologies in context modelling . Collaborative (context) ontology modelling . Identification of opportunities for change . Logical sensors for context change . Cross-border and inter-organizational services . Machine Learning of patterns for change . Data mining, process mining and text mining . Business Rules . Business Rules Modelling and Management . Service Oriented Architectures . Component Based Applications . Semantic Web Services and agents for Business Agility . Semantic and technical interoperability . Integration of heterogeneous data sources . Design of socio-technical systems For more information about the "AI for Business Agility" symposium see the symposium website _http://www.fhnw.ch/iwi/ai4ba2011_ Submission: Prospective participants are invited to submit research papers (up to 12 pages) or position papers (up to 4 pages), in PDF format, via easychair: _http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ai4ba2011_ Papers should be prepared using the format for AAAI Press proceedings or technical reports.

Hsu <robert(a)grid.chu.edu.tw> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------ First International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2010) Dec. 14-16, 2010, Chennai, India http://www.manjrasoft.com/ucc2010/ Held In Cooperation with: IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing Hosted/Supported by: * Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory, The University of Melbourne, Australia * Anna University Chennai, India * Vienna University of Technology, Austria * Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA * Manjrasoft Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***************** CALL FOR PAPERS ***************** Introduction: ------------- Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that are commoditized and delivered in a manner similar to traditional utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on their requirements without regard to where the services are hosted or how they are delivered. Several computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing vision and these include Grid computing, and more recently Cloud computing. Cloud computing has recently emerged as one of the buzzwords in the ICT industry. Several IT vendors are promising to offer storage, application and computation hosting services, and provide coverage in several continents, offering Service-Level Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime promises for their services. While these "clouds" are the natural evolution of traditional clusters and data centres, they are distinguished by following a "utility" pricing model where customers are charged based on their utilisation of computational resources, storage and transfer of data. These emerging services have reduced the cost of computation, application hosting and content storage and delivery by several orders of magnitude, however there is significant complexity involved in ensuring applications, services and data can scale when needed to ensure consistent and reliable operation under peak loads. To provide a dedicated forum for sharing recent R&D advances and industrial innovations in "Utility Computing" area, we have initiated this new conference series "International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing". This conference series has emerged out of the past two successful Cloud computing symposiums (Cloud 2009 held in Shanghai, China; and Cloud 2010 held in Melbourne, Australia) and focuses on both principles of "Utility computing" and its practical realisation in industry in different forms including Cloud Computing. Conference Scope: ----------------- Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Principles of Utility Computing - Architectural Models for Utility Computing - *aaS: Infrastructure, Platform, Software, Storage as a Service - Novel architectural models for cloud computing - Novel applications of cloud computing, including games and social networks - Novel cloud programming models - Innovative cloud pricing models - Innovative cloud service models - Support for scalable and elastic cloud services - New parallel / concurrent programming models for cloud computing - Cloud support for mobile applications and Content Delivery Networks - Data Security, Privacy, and Jurisdiction in the Cloud - Portability of applications and data between different cloud providers - Cloud-related virtualization issues - Deployment, maintenance, and management of cloud resources and services - (Multi-)Cloud resource brokering and scheduling - (Multi-)Cloud capacity planning - Reliability of applications and services running on the cloud - Interoperability between different Utility Computing Platforms including Grids, and Clouds - Performance monitoring for cloud applications - Cloud use case studies - Scientific computing in the cloud - Business computing in the cloud - Social computing in the cloud Best Paper Award: ----------------- A best paper award sponsored by Manjrasoft Pty. Ltd, Australia will be presented to a paper receiving the highest quality rating from the Program Committee and external reviewers.

The proliferation of grids, clouds, peer-to-peer systems, web applications, and e-commerce all contribute to the challenge of securing our computing and networking resources. The goal of WGC-Sec is to bring together a diverse group of researchers from industry, academia and government. It is only through the collaboration and synergy of these groups that we will make significant progress. We encourage papers that report on concepts and mechanisms for making systems more resilient to attack, and papers that report on concepts and mechanisms for finding security vulnerabilities in systems. Papers that report on new formalisms, ideas, techniques, tools, or case studies are all encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Intrusion detection and prevention * Binary code analysis * Cyber-forensics * Trust delegation and management * Web services * Authentication and authorization * Fuzzing Important Dates: Submission deadline: Monday, November 1, 2010 Notification of acceptance: December 20, 2010 Camera ready version due: February 1, 2011 Program Committee: Workshop Chairs: Barton P.
