The objective of the workshop Web Semantics (WebS) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying Semantic Web concepts, applications, and solutions being an international forum for the presentation of both theoretical and applicative results. Papers describing Semantic Web application experiences are particularly encouraged. The special topic "Reliability of ontologies" aims on detecting reusable ontologies and measuring the reliability of possible reusable ontology candidates. How can we measure the reliability and the usability of ontologies? Which adaptations of state-of-the-art ontology engineering methodologies are necessary to support modeling reusable ontologies? What measurements for defining and comparing ontologies can be used and how could ontology repositories use them? These are some of the open research questions to be addressed by papers dedicated to this year's special topic. TOPICS: ======= The relevant topics include the following (but are not limited to): * Knowledge management and sharing * Interoperability and data integration through semantic technology * Ontology modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution * Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment * Ontology learning and metadata generation * Ontology evaluation (guidelines) * Document analysis and semantic extraction * Semantic Web content creation, annotation, and extraction * Modeling of Semantic Web * Search, integration, and analysis on the Semantic Web * Semantic and context awareness * Semantic Web supporting business processes * Semantic Web for e-sciences * Semantic Web for e-business * Semantic Web mining * Semantic Web data querying and reasoning * Semantic Web inference schemes * Semantic Web applications - Database technologies for the Semantic Web - Intelligent user interfaces - Dynamic ontology generation and adaptation - Languages, tools and methodologies for semantic annotations of web data - Applications on mobile devices - Enhanced accessibility and multimodal interfaces - Reasoning * Special Topic: Reliability of ontologies - Ontology evaluation and reliability measurement - Ontological metrics - Ontology comparison - Ontology reuse methods and methodologies (metrics for reusability) PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: ========================= Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research and application papers that are not being considered in another forum.

The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. NEWS: Thanks to authors and speakers of last WORLDCOMP congress and members of the editorial boards who informed us of the following good news: According to "Microsoft Academic Search" (a Microsoft initiative) all tracks of WORLDCOMP are listed as worldwide "Top-ranked Conferences" (based on various metrics but mainly based on the number of citations).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] ICAC2011 deadline extended to Jan 18 (8th International Conference on Autonomic Computing) Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2011 13:19:00 +0100 From: Lei Liu <lei.liu(a)kit.edu> To: <seworld(a)sigsoft.org>, <dbworld(a)cs.wisc.edu>, "wi" <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] ======================================================================== Call for Papers The 8th International Conference on Autonomic Computing ICAC 2011 http://icac2011.cs.fiu.edu June 14-18th, 2011 Karlsruhe, Germany ======================================================================== Update: ------- ** Paper submission deadline is extended to: Jan 18 (11:59pm PST).* Scope: ------ ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic computing applications, technology and foundations. Autonomic computing refers to methods and means for reducing the human burden of managing computing systems. Systems introducing new autonomic features are becoming increasingly prevalent, motivating research that spans a variety of areas, from computer systems, architecture, databases and networks to machine learning, control theory, and bio-inspired computing. ICAC brings together researchers and practitioners across these disciplines to address the multiple facets of adaptation and self-management in computing systems and applications from different perspectives. Autonomic computing solutions are sought for grids, clouds, enterprise software, data centers, Internet services, embedded systems, and sensor networks, where resources and applications must be managed to maximize performance and minimize cost, while maintaining predictable and reliable behavior in the face of varying workloads, failures, and malicious threats. Papers are solicited from all areas of autonomic computing, along three main thrusts: * Applications of autonomic computing: Systems contributions and experiences are sought with prototyped or deployed systems and applications that focus on advancing system independence and increasing system ability to adapt to an unpredictable environment. Application areas include but are not limited to: - Enterprise applications - Clouds and grids - Internet services - Data center or large-scale system management - Embedded and mobile systems - Energy management - Sensor networks, especially issues related to autonomous, distributed management - Internet of things - Other applications of autonomic computing to real problems in science, engineering, business and society. * Autonomic computing components and services: Papers are sought that describe protocols, system-level support, services, or application components that enhance aspects of system autonomy, self-management, self-tuning, self-configuration, self-diagnosis, and self-healing, or improve adaptive capabilities. Examples include: - Autonomic management of resources, workloads, faults, power/thermal, and other challenges. - Management of quality of service, including security and dependability - Self-managing components, such as servers, storage, network protocols, or specific application elements - Monitoring systems for autonomic computing - Virtual machine, operating systems, hardware or application support for autonomic computing - Novel human interfaces for monitoring and controlling autonomic systems - Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, behavior enforcement and tie-in with IT governance. - Toolkits, frameworks, principles and architectures, from software engineering practices and experimental methodologies to agent-based techniques and virtualization. * Algorithms, theory and foundations of autonomic computing: Analytic foundations are solicited for building efficient autonomic systems, predicting their behavior, quantifying their performance, analyzing their stability, guaranteeing their specifications, or optimizing their efficacy. These include: - Decision and analysis techniques and their use, such as machine learning, control theory, predictive methods, emergent behavior, self- organizing networks, rule-based systems and bio-inspired techniques - Fundamental science and theory of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling or exploiting system behaviors to enforce autonomic properties - Algorithms, analysis and theory for performance guarantees - Foundations of self-diagnostic systems Papers will be judged on originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity and relevance to the broader community. Papers in the first two thrusts should report on experiences, measurements, user studies, or other evaluations, as appropriate. Evaluations of a prototype or large-scale deployment of autonomic systems and applications is expected. Papers in the third thrust should provide new fundamental insights into relevant autonomic computing problems. Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing. Submitted papers must be original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. Complete formatting and submission instructions can be found on the conference web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings distributed at the conference and available electronically. Authors of accepted papers and posters are expected to present their work at the conference.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP: ICCS'11 - Conceptual Structures for Discovering Knowledge 25th - 29th July, University of Derby, United Kingdom Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2011 09:57:17 +0100 From: Sebastian Rudolph <sebastian.rudolph(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> To: Sebastian Rudolph <sebastian.rudolph(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS ICCS'11: Conceptual Structures for Discovering Knowledge 25th - 29th July, University of Derby, United Kingdom http://www.iccs.info <http://www.iccs.info/> The 19th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2011) is the latest in a series of annual conferences that have been held in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America since 1993. The focus of these conferences has been the representation and analysis of conceptual knowledge for research and business applications. ICCS brings together researchers in information technology, arts, humanities and social science to explore novel ways that can conceptual structures can be employed in information systems. Arising originally out of the work of IBM in Conceptual Graphs, over the years ICCS has broadened its scope to include a wider range of theories and practices, among them Formal Concept Analysis, Description Logics, the Semantic Web, the Pragmatic Web, Ontologies, Multi-agent Systems, Concept Mapping, and more. Accordingly conceptual structures represent a family of approaches that builds on the successes of artificial intelligence, business intelligence, computational linguistics, conceptual modelling, information and web technologies, user modelling, and knowledge management. ICCS 2011's theme is "Conceptual Structures for Discovering Knowledge". More and more data is being captured in electronic format (particularly through the Web) and it is emerging that this data is reaching such a critical mass that it is becoming the most recorded form of the world around us. It now represents our business, economic, arts, social, and scientific endeavours to such an extent that we require smart applications that can discover the hitherto hidden knowledge that this mass of data is busily capturing. By bringing together the way computers work with the way humans think, conceptual structures align the productivity of computer processing with the ingenuity of individuals and organisations in a meaningful digital future. Papers for ICCS 2011 are invited but are not limited to the following topics: * conceptual structures (theory, applications, and experience with case studies); * their interplay with human or organisational experience and language, * semantics and pragmatics; * concept analysis and contextual logic, * capturing concepts through smart data and information processing; * modelling, representation, and visualization of concepts; * conceptual knowledge acquisition; and * the theory and applications of formal ontologies. Comparisons of methods and representations on the basis of reasoning ability, expressiveness, ease of use, and computational performance are welcome. Integration of methodologies, user interfaces, semantic web technologies, business intelligence, multi-agent systems, knowledge use, reuse, and integration, and business productivity tools are all of high interest. Authors are invited to submit papers describing both theoretical and practical research. Papers accepted or under review by other conferences or journals are not acceptable as submissions to ICCS. The language of the conference will be English. Submission Details Papers are limited to 14 pages in Springer's LNCS format. We recommend the use of LaTeX2e for the final version. Visit http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs for more details. Short papers (up to 4 pages) are also welcome. Deadlines * Friday January 14, 2011: a one page abstract submitted via conference website (http://www.iccs.info <http://www.iccs.info/>) NB: Abstracts should clearly state the purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in the final paper. * Friday January 21, 2011: full paper in PDF format submitted via the conference website (http://www.iccs.info <http://www.iccs.info/>) Final acceptance will be based on the full-length paper, which if accepted, must be presented at the conference. Papers accepted for publication will appear in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series by Springer-Verlag (see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs). A precondition for publication is that the final version is in full compliance with Springer's format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JITTA Special Issue on "Boundary-Spanning through Business Process Management (BPM)" Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 03:49:18 +0100 From: vom Brocke Jan <Jan.vom.Brocke(a)hochschule.li> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of the Journal of Information Technology Theory and Application (JITTA) on "Boundary-Spanning through Business Process Management (BPM)" OBJECTIVES AND ASPIRATIONS The purpose of this special issue is to draw the attention of the Information Systems community to the emerging significant role of Business Process Management as a boundary-spanning and identity-defining discipline of IS research, bringing together management philosophies and process-aware information technology. Our objective is to provide a discussion forum for researchers who are interested in providing examples for the contemporary state of the art in BPM research, spanning design-oriented approaches as well as traditional empirical research approaches. A particular aim of this special issue is to push the discussion in contemporary BPM research beyond information technology and methods to also embrace aspects of strategic alignment, governance, people and culture. DESCRIPTION Business Process Management has become one of the most widely discussed approaches for information professionals. The potential of BPM particularly lies in the integration of advanced information technology with organizational and managerial methods to foster and leverage business innovation, operational excellence and intra- and inter-organizational collaboration. Business Process Management as an Information Systems discipline is characterized by a myriad of approaches towards the analysis, modeling, implementation, execution and management of information systems with an explicit process focus, ranging from those supported by groupware and project management products to those supported by workflow management systems and, more recently, business process management systems. However, Business Process Management also embraces further, widely undefined themes pertaining to the engineering and management of systems and organizations, particularly with respect to the areas of organizational culture, process-aware information systems, strategic alignment, and governance structures. The wide application areas and the impact of Business Process Management present an exciting opportunity for IS researchers to contribute to our knowledge in this area, be it through the design of innovative process-oriented artifacts or through theorizing about the application, appropriation and usage consequences of BPM artifacts in organizational practice. ABOUT THE JOURNAL JITTA is a peer-reviewed research journal that welcomes articles from a broad spectrum of research approaches. JITTA aims to publish articles with short publication cycle times, attract a portfolio of very exciting and high quality research contributions, and maintain highest quality standards. The journal welcomes research papers (research agenda papers, interpretive or exploratory papers, speculative research, state-of-research reviews, or full research papers), research essays, and application papers (normative papers or case studies). http://aisel.aisnet.org/jitta/ TOPICS We invite rigorous and relevant contributions from a wide variety of research methods. Interpretive and positivistic research approaches as well as Design Science Research are welcomed, and theory building is encouraged regardless of the chosen research methodology. Topics of interest pertaining to Business Process Management may include but are not limited to the following: - Strategic alignment of BPM (e.g., value-based process management) - BPM Governance (e.g., BPM center of competence) - Methods for BPM (e.g., Six Sigma, procedure models, methodologies, process modeling) - Process-aware Information Systems (e.g., workflow management and eBusiness standards) - Engagement and Education of Process Practitioners (e.g., educational programs, curriculum design) - Cultural Impacts of/on BPM (e.g., in global roll-out projects) - Adoption and Diffusion of BPM and Process standards - Open-source Systems for BPM - BPM and Service-Orientation - Business Process Intelligence - Business Process Forensics and Performance Management - New enabling technologies for BPM (e.g., cloud computing, Mobile technologies) - End user and community enablement of BPM IMPORTANT DATES - Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2011 - Initial Review Round Completed: July 31, 2011 - Revisions Due (where applicable): October 1, 2011 - Final Acceptance Decisions: December 31, 2011 - Special Issue Published: March 1, 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE EDITORS Jan vom Brocke, University of Liechtenstein; jan.vom.brocke(a)hochschule.li; Alexander Dreiling, SAP Research; alexander.dreiling(a)sap.com; Jan Mendling, Humboldt-University Berlin; jan.mendling(a)wiwi.hu-berlin.de; Jan Recker, Queensland University of Technology; j.recker(a)qut.edu.au Contact Email: jan.vom.brocke(a)hochschule.li - Prof Dr Jan vom Brocke Director, Institute of Information Systems, Hilti Chair of Business Process Management, University of Liechtenstein, Fürst-Franz-Josef-Strasse 21, FL-9490 Vaduz, P: +423 265 13 00, F: +423 265 13 01 NEW: http://www.bpm-handbook.com ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal ##################################################################################### _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] DMSS development methodologies: call for contributions

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] DMSS development methodologies: call for contributions Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 12:39:48 -0600 (CST) From: Manuel Mora T. <mmora(a)securenym.net> Reply-To: mmora(a)securenym.net To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* SUBMISSION DUE DATE: May 31, 2011 SPECIAL ISSUE ON: DMSS Development Methodologies: a Software-Systems Engineering Approach INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY (IJDSST) Guest Editors: Dr. Manuel Mora, Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, México Dr. Miroljub Kljajic, University of Maribor, Slovenia Dr. Fen Wang, Central Washington University, USA Dr. Ovsei Gelman, CCADET, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, INTRODUCTION: DMSS are developed for delivering process and outcome value to individual and group-based decision-making processes (Forgionne 2000). DMSS can be considered as full technological systems; however, from a systemic view (Ackoff 1967; Kljajic and Farr, 2008), DMSS can be also defined as sub-systems of organizational management information systems that interactively support the decision-making process (Simon et al., 1997) of individuals and groups in life, public, and private organizations. Classic DMSS include Decision Support Systems (DSS) (model-based DSS including analytic, statistical-based and simulation-based types), Executive Information Systems (EIS), Expert Systems (ES), Knowledge Based Systems (KBS), and Creativity Enhancing Systems (CES) (Forgionne et al. 2005). Other DMSS, such as Executive Support systems (ESS), Management Support Systems (MSS), Artificial Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS), and Decision Technology Systems (DTS), integrate the functions of DSS, EIS, ES, KBS, or CES, to provide more comprehensive support than the individual separate systems (Turban and Watson 1994; Forgionne 1991; Forgionne and Kohli 2000; Nichols and Goul 2005). Emergent and modern widely used DMSS are data-based DSS (Gray and Watson 1998; March and Hevner, 2007), Group Support Systems (Nunamaker et al. 1997; Pervan 1998), and spatial DSS (Keenan 2003; 2006). Despite their organizational success, DMSS have been developed during the last 40 years from a more art-based approach (by using general development schemes) than from Software-Systems Engineering methods (Gachet and Haettenschwiler, 2006). While several coarse-grain development paradigms such as: prototyping evolutive (Courbon 1980; Alavi and Henderson 1981; Mahmood and Medewitz 1985), adaptive (Keen 1980; Alavi and Napier 1984), or Representation-based method (Carlson 1979) have been reported, as well as general requirements engineering methods for related DMSS (for DSS see Meador et al. 1984; for EIS see Watson et al. 1991; and for Expert Systems see Turban and Aronson 1998), few software-systems engineering-based approaches (Saxena 1991; Sage 1991; Holsapple and Winston 1996; Manjarrez and Pickin 2002; Mora et al. 2010) have been used. In contrast with other types of IS, where well-structured systems development methodologies have been posed and used more systematically, practitioners and academics are confused about the available DMSS development methodologies. Consequently, organizations develop DMSS in particular modes. We believe that this DMSS topic has been taken for granted, but evidences show few standardized DMSS development methodologies (Gachet and Haettenschwiler 2006). Furthermore, DMSS development methodologies are considered as an implementation success factor (Einierman et al. 1995; Turban 1992; Watson et al. 1991) and their selection and correct application cannot be overlapped. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: Thus, in this special issue we invite researchers and practitioners to report high quality research papers on advances on both classic DMSS (model-based DMSS such as DSS, EIS, ES) and emergent and modern DMSS (data-oriented DSS, spatial DSS, and GSS) development methodologies using a robust Software-Systems Engineering approach (Jalote 1997; Sage 1981; Kljajic and Farr 2008). RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ? Descriptions and proofs of concept of DMSS development methodologies ? Comparison studies on DMSS development methodologies ? Foundations on the expected characteristics for a DMSS development methodology ? Contribution from Systems and Software Engineering to DMSS developments ? DMSS development tools and methodologies ? Survey studies on DMSS development methodologies used in the practice ? Business Intelligence and DMSS development methodologies ? Data Mining and DMSS development methodologies ? Cognitive aspect of DMSS development methodologies ? Challenges for DMSS development methodologies ? Academic teaching of DMSS development methodologies ? Industrial training of DMSS development methodologies SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on ?DMSS Development Methodologies: a Software-Systems Engineering Approach? on or before May 31, 2011. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. Interested authors should consult the journal?s guidelines for manuscript submissions at http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf. All submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow APA style for reference citations. ABOUT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY ( IJDSST): The primary objective of the International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST) is to provide comprehensive coverage for DMSS technology issues. The issues can involve, among other things, new hardware and software for DMSS, new models to deliver decision-making support, dialog management between the user and system, data and model base management within the system, output display and presentation, DMSS operations, and DMSS technology management. Since the technology?s purpose is to improve decision making, the articles are expected to link DMSS technology to improvements in the decision-making process as well as its outcomes. This link can be established theoretically, mathematically, or empirically in a systematic and scientific manner. This journal is an official publication of the Information Resources Management Association.
