Fwd: [WI] Call for papers 6th Conference Professional Knowledge Management - Workshop: POP11 - Putting ontologies into practise
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Sep '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for papers 6th Conference Professional Knowledge Management - Workshop: POP11 - Putting ontologies into practise Datum: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 15:29:19 +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 6th Conference Professional Knowledge Management From Knowledge to Action Workshop: POP11 - Putting ontologies into practise 21st of February to 23rd of February 2011, Innsbruck _http://web.fhnw.ch/plattformen/pop11/_ The topic The use of ontologies has progressed from a research topic to a model for knowledge representation in practical applications over the last 5 to 10 years. While the use of ontologies facilitates a wide range of advanced, content-oriented applications in knowledge management, a main bottleneck for implementing such applications is to obtain, share and maintain the required ontologies. Although lots of ontologies are available and although there has been a lot of work on ontology learning, ontology matching and integration, it still requires a great deal of time and effort to create and adapt them - and continuously update them - for any reallife application. These issues currently seem to be the main obstacles for a further spread of this technology. Moreover, many applications need quite focused ontologies for a specific context which simply do not exist and have to be created first. A variety of quite different approaches may help to provide ontologies needed for advanced knowledge management applications. Besides ontology learning, population and integration supporting the collaborative engineering of ontologies by a community of domain experts is an important issue because it allows to better balance the overall effort of creating and maintaining ontologies over many people and thus raises the acceptance and ensures the quality of the generated ontologies. Moreover, while a growing number of ontologies are available on the web and while several ontology repositories have emerged recently, finding a suitable ontology and adapting it to ones needs is still time consuming. In particular, as ontologies are always developed with a specific point of view on a domain of discourse it can be very difficult to tweak a given ontology to a slightly different viewpoint, usually leading to the development of a completely new ontology. Instead, it would be preferable to integrate different perspectives on the same domain of discourse in one ontology rather than creating a complete new ontology each time a (slightly) different view is needed. In this workshop we will discuss all kinds of approaches that aim at facilitating the (semi-) automatic and manual creation, reuse, adaption and maintenance of ontologies for real-life applications, i.e. support the management aspects of the ontology life cycle. Topics of Interest Submitted papers should present theoretical approaches or practical case studies addressing one or more of the following or related topics: . Ontology learning . Ontology population . Ontology matching and merging . Ontology engineering and evolution . Ontology lifecycle management . Modularization and versioning of ontologies . Collaborative ontology modelling . Finding, reusing and adapting ontologies . Practical aspects of managing and maintaining ontologies in organisations . Evaluation and quality assurance of ontologies . Combining ontology-based approaches with social tagging . Integrating ontologies with associative networks (aka lightweight ontologies) Addressed Audience The targeted audience includes researchers and practitioners in the field of ontology engineering and use. Besides paper presentations, this workshop will offer open spaces for targeted discussions.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] EJIS Special Issue - Governing IT in Inter-organizational Relationships Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 12:33:26 +1300 From: Felix Tan <felix.tan(a)aut.ac.nz> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS) www.palgrave-journals.com/ejis/ Special Issue on Governing IT in inter-organizational relationships Submission deadline: 30 October 2010 Business firms and other organizations in the public and private sectors increasingly operate as part of highly distributed and loosely coupled ecosystems. These network arrangements are precipitated by pressures to globalize markets for and sources of products and services in a bid to lower costs and increase profitability or program outcomes. The capacity to operate within this global network of relationships is facilitated by the extraordinary technological and process innovations made possible by the application of advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs). These technologies are fueling the unprecedented growth in inter-organizational relationships and the complex inter-linkages that result. Enterprises in both the private and public sectors are connecting to each other through complex enterprise systems that underpin their value chains. At the same time many organizations are attempting to move away from owning ICT systems and infrastructure that support their business model to sourcing these systems and services in non-traditional market or network arrangements. For example, firms are increasingly adopting cloud-based and open source platform-as-a-service (PaaS) models for provisioning ICT systems and infrastructure. Other organizations are joining forces to create ICT service delivery networks usually manifested as IT shared services. These complex network arrangements pose a number of IT governance challenges. These challenges revolve around the allocation of accountability, responsibility, and decision rights in network arrangements where there is distributed ownership of the ICT resources, systems, and processes. They also relate to the challenge of safeguarding and enhancing the quality and value of IT services delivered through these new IT service provisioning ecosystems. The issues described above should raise some important questions for both researchers and practitioners. We solicit papers for this special issues covering, but not limited, to the following topics: · Frameworks and theories for understanding inter-organizational IT governance relationships. · Emerging issues in governing IT in loosely-coupled, global business ecosystems. · Multi-jurisdictional governance of IT in government and other public sector organizations. · Governing IT in cloud computing and other platform-as-a-service arrangements. · Shared IT service governance. · Governance of common IT infrastructure. · Research approaches to studying inter-organizational IT governance. · IT governance in traditional outsourcing and market arrangements. · Implications for IT governance in open source relationships. · Processes and mechanisms for governing inter-organizational IT arrangements. · Participants roles and relationships with new forms of IT provisioning · Governing employee owned and selected IT in organizational settings · Cross-cultural issues relating to IT governance in inter-organizational relationships Guest Editors for the Special Issue Gerald Grant, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, gerald_grant(a)carleton.ca Felix B. Tan, AUT University, Auckland, New Zealand, felix.tan(a)aut.ac.nz Submission Guidelines and Important Dates · Papers may be submitted to the special issue any time before October 30, 2010 · Submit using the EJIS online paper submission system at http://ejis.msubmit.net ( http://ejis.msubmit.net/ ) (Select the Special Issue during submission) · Follow the EJIS formatting guidelines at http://ejis.msubmit.net/cgi-bin/main.plex?form_type=display_auth_instructio… · (Note that papers should be no longer than 8000 words) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] European Design Science Workshop - Ireland/Leixlip Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 15:09:47 +0100 From: Markus Helfert <markus.helfert(a)computing.dcu.ie> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de 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: ============= http://www.intel.com/corporate/education/emea/event/irc/ireland/ 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 ---------------------------------------------------- -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

In this regard, identification of the motives driving adoption and consumption is the precondition for successful implementation of electronic services. This article reports the results of a survey conducted for an R&D project with the objective to design an innovative and comprehensive wealth management service for consumers, a service that is offered mainly via the internet. In this study, the authors found that the conventional wisdom of mainstream finance and technology adoption theories, return-risk thinking, and cost-benefit analysis of product characteristics were insufficient to predict adoption. Rather, the adoption decision appears to be dominated by the perceived fit between the new service and the consumer's established consumption patterns.

Deploying an expanded Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study aims to identify the factors that influence the customer's decision to use SMS banking. Findings from relevant literature and outcomes of the analysis of qualitative data were gathered through focus group discussions to build a model, and a survey was conducted to explore the model with respect to individuals' behaviour when considering using SMS banking. Findings show that service quality, as well as the degree of customers' awareness about the service, influence participants' perceptions about the usefulness of SMS banking and their intentions to use and adopt the service in the future.

The author uses LISREL two-group path analysis to find the variances between high and low technology acceptance. Data collected from the customers of nine retail banks show that commitments have a mediating effect on the relationship between the tailor-made function of CRM and customer loyalty, while technology acceptance has significant effects on both relationships between the two functions of CRM and continuance commitment.

Many lives and billions of dollars are lost annually due to software errors. According to the report by NIST in 2002, poor software quality costs 60 billion dollars yearly to US economy, and 22 billion dollars can be regained by improving infrastructure for detecting errors using testing closer to the development phase. With the quick increase of software in complexity and scale, test automation is becoming a very important and hot research field in software engineering and quality assurance. Now many researchers and practitioners have realized that software test automation will be a required systematic solution to meet with new software testing challenges and automation demands from the emerging software engineering technologies in SOA-based systems, model-based/component-based software, and mobile computing and clouding computing service systems. In the past decades, many research papers have been published to address software testing and automation issues and solutions. And now a number of test automation tools are available for engineer. However, there are still many open issues, obstacles, and challenges in software test automation, practice, and standardization. Moreover, there is an emerging need in software test automation standardization to reduce test automation costs and efforts and increase the standardization of test processes, test design, and test tools.

Fwd: [WI] 2nd CFP Agent-Directed Simulation, April 4-9, 2011, Boston, USA

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd CFP Agent-Directed Simulation, April 4-9, 2011, Boston, USA Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 14:42:11 -0500 (CDT) From: Yu Zhang <yzhang(a)CS.Trinity.Edu> To: Yu Zhang <yzhang(a)trinity.edu> =============================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS and POSTERS Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS'11) Boston Marriott Long Wharf Hotel, Boston, MA, USA April 4-9, 2011 http://www.scs.org/springsim/2011?q=node/205 Manuscript Submission: October 31, 2010. Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). ============================================================== As part of the 2011 Spring Simulation Multi-conference (SpringSim'11) http://www.scs.org/springsim/2011 the 2011 Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium is a premier platform to explore all three aspects of the synergy of simulation and agent technologies. Hence, it has a special place within simulation and agent conferences, including agent-based (social) simulation conferences. Therefore the ADS symposium fills a gap in the agent community as well as the simulation community. The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technologies, by including models that use agents to develop domain-specific simulations, i.e., agent simulation (this is often referred to as agent-based simulation -when other two important aspects are not considered), and by also including the use of agent technology to develop simulation techniques and toolkits that are subsequently applied, either with or without agents. Hence, agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas that can be grouped under two categories as follows: 1. Simulation for Agents (agent simulation): simulation of agent systems in engineering, human and social dynamics, military applications etc. 2. Agents for Simulation (which has two aspects): agent-supported simulation deals with the use of agents as a support facility to enable computer assistance in problem solving or enhancing cognitive capabilities; and agent-based simulation that focuses on the use of agents for the generation of model behavior in a simulation study. Through the theme of agent-directed simulation, the symposium will bring together agent technologies, tools, toolkits, platforms, languages, methodologies, and applications in a pragmatic manner. In this symposium, established researchers, educators, and students are encouraged to come together and discuss the benefits of agent technology in their use and application for simulation. It is a way for people to discuss why and how they have used agent technology in their simulations, and describe the benefit of having done so. The theme of ADS'11 is based on the observation of the following premises. * The growth of new advanced distributed computing standards along with the rapid rise of e-commerce are providing a new context that acts as a critical driver for the development of next generation systems. These standards revolve around service-oriented technologies, pervasive computing, web-services, Grid, autonomic computing, ambient intelligence etc. The supporting role that intelligent agents play in the development of such systems is becoming pervasive, and simulation plays a critical role in the analysis and design of such systems. * The use of emergent agent technologies at the organization, interaction (e.g., coordination, negotiation, communication) and agent levels (i.e. reasoning, autonomy) are expected to advance the state of the art in various application technologies is difficult. Using agent-supported simulation techniques for testing complex agent systems is up and coming field. * To facilitate bridging the gap between research and application, there is a need for tools, agent programming languages, and methodologies to analyze, design, and implement complex, non-trivial agent-based simulations. Existing agent-based simulation tools are still not mature enough to enable developing agents with varying degrees cognitive and reasoning capabilities. ADS 2011 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer science, social sciences, engineering, business, education, human factors, and systems engineering. The involvement of various agent-directed simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for agent-directed simulation AUTHOR GUIDE * Technical papers provide a longer format for presenting experience reports, research results, or descriptions of "work in progress". They are limited to 8 pages. * Short position papers are targeted at raising a question or framing an issue for discussion during the symposium. Position papers are limited to 3 pages. * Poster presentations present an opportunity to present work in progress and receive feedback from colleagues. A one page write-up of the poster presentations will be included in the proceedings. Formatting guidelines and author instructions are available at http://www.scs.org/conferences . Papers should be submitted electronically to http://www.softconf.com/scs/ADS11 . All papers will be subject to a peer-reviewing process by three program committee members. (Please see the key dates listed below) FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All prospective authors, whose papers are accepted for inclusion in the program, will be invited to submit their position or technical papers to ADS'11. Accepted and registered papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the SCS. The committee will select a set of best papers. Authors of these papers will be encouraged to submit appropriately expanded versions of these papers for journal publication.
