-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP Agent-Directed Simulation, March 26-29, 2012, Orlando, FL, USA Datum: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:33:03 -0500 (CDT) Von: Yu Zhang <yzhang(a)CS.Trinity.Edu> An: Agent-Directed Simulation <yzhang(a)CS.Trinity.Edu> =============================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS and POSTERS Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS'12) Florida Hotel and Conference Center, Orlando, FL, USA March 26-29, 2012 http://www.scs.org/springsim/2012?q=node/205 Manuscript Submission: November 30, 2011. Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). Co-located with the 2012 SISO Spring Simulation Interoperability Workshop (SIW) ============================================================== As part of the 2012 Spring Simulation Multi-conference (SpringSim'12) http://www.scs.org/springsim/2012 the 2012 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'12 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 2012 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 GUIDELINES * 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 .

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Minitrack Proposals - AMCIS 2012 Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:53:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Narcyz Roztocki <roztockn(a)newpaltz.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2012 â?? Call for Minitrack Proposals: ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev) Track Reflect and Redefine: Designing the Digital Future The deadline: November 16, 2011 Track co-chairs: Narcyz Roztocki, State University of New York at New Paltz, roztockn(a)newpaltz.edu H. Roland Weistroffer, Virginia Commonwealth University, hrweistr(a)vcu.edu Track Summary: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a major impact on economic and societal development. Though developing, emerging, and transitional economies play an increasingly important role in the global market, mainstream information systems research continues to focus on the relatively small group of countries with highly developed economies. The business, social, and legal environments of developing, emerging, and transitional economies often mandate that ICT implementations and uses are dissimilar from those in highly developed regions. Practices and models that have been tested in highly developed countries may not be applicable in the global setting. The intention of this track is to encourage more research and publications on ICT focused on developing and emerging markets and communities. Thus, the ICTs in Global Development track, sponsored by the Special Interest Group on ICT and Global Development (SIGGlobDev), serves as a forum for research on the appropriate use and diffusion of information and communication technologies and associated management practices in the distinctive environments of developing, emerging, and transitional economies. Suggested topics for minitracks (additional topics welcome): - Information Technology in Developing Economies - Information Technology in Emerging Economies - Information Technology in Transition Economies - ICT Issues in Africa - ICT Issues in China and the Pan-Pacific Region - ICT Issues in Latin America - Cross-Organizational and Cross-Border IS/IT Collaboration - ICTs in Micro & Small Enterprises of Developing Regions - Digital Collaboration as a Driver for Economic Growth - Information Technology as a Driver for Social and Political Change - Disability and Information Technology in Underserved Populations - Education and ICT in Developing Regions Submit your mini-track proposal using the manuscript central system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 The deadline for proposal submissions is November 16, 2011 (12 midnight EST) Proposals should be a maximum of 2 pages long. Proposals should provide a brief one- or two-paragraph description of the main theme, its importance and relevance to information systems research and practice, and its relevance to the track. You should also list some potential topics for your mini-track. Each proposal must list names and contact information of mini-track chair(s).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Exploratory Analysis in Dynamic Social Networks: theoretical and practical applications Datum: Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:36:01 +0100 Von: Markus Helfert <markus.helfert(a)computing.dcu.ie> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR CHAPTERS Exploratory Analysis in Dynamic Social Networks: theoretical and practical applications Submission Deadline: January 31, 2012 A book edited by Dr. Carlos Andre Reis Pinheiro, Analytics Lab, Oi Telecom, Brazil and Dr. Markus Helfert, School of Computing, Dublin City University, Ireland To be published by iConcept Press: http://www.iconceptpress.com. Introduction Interactions within social networks have been subject of recent studies. As insights into these interactions offer great opportunities, many practical applications have been proposed. Recent approaches focus on using social network analysis methodology to study different aspects of societies, communities, knowledge networks and competitive markets, such as Social Medias through the Internet and Telecommunications environments. By understanding social structures and its interactions it is possible to understand how individuals and consumers relate to each other allowing to subsequently forecasts behavior and social structures. Most of the current efforts in analyzing social networks are in respect to static structures. The social networks are considered by viewing snapshots of a specific point in time. However, analyzing dynamic aspects of social networks could provide insight how these structures evolve. The dynamic approach for social network analysis might provide insight into new perspectives in terms of pattern recognition, predictive and simulation of social structures. With new technologies, such as sensor data, analyses of movements and directions within social networks are also subject of recent studies viewing social networks dynamically. In order to perceive how social relations evolve through time it is necessary to collect the distinct snapshots of the social structures in a timeline perspective. A sequence of pictures about social structures should be taken into consideration to allow particular analyses about how the members relate to each other but mostly how those relationships have been changed over time. Measures typically used in traditional social networks analysis can be used such as characteristics of nodes and links in a static perspective, depicting strength, overall distances and paths among related nodes, amounts of connections, and others. The dynamic perspective on social networks provides a historical view on data for particular events; such as purchasing, acquisition, churn, fraud, and others; in a similar way presented in predictive modeling. Due to historical information about social structure and its movements throughout time, it is possible to analyze the network in terms of behavior, structure and topology. Objective of the Book This book aims to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and practical applications of innovative approaches to analyze social networks from a dynamic perspective. The key objective of this book is to reflect and document the current discussion about algorithms, metrics, mechanisms and particular applications and solutions in terms of dynamic analyses of social networks. Theories about new metrics to describe social structures over the time, considering nodes and links, its weights, distances and paths, and so on, are subject of discussion. Real world applications in respect to particular industries such as telecommunications, insurance, retail and mostly internet are also particularly welcome and encouraged. Target Audience The main goal of this book is to be a guide edition suitable for practitioners and researchers in the area of social network analysis, particular to the ones performed over time, considering the evolvement of social structures in a timeline perspective. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Fraud detection by using social network analysis * Application of social network analysis and mining * Communities discovery and analysis in large scale online and offline social networks * Dynamics and evolution of patterns in social networks * Geography applications for social networks analysis * Impact of social networks in recommendations systems * Large-scale graph algorithms for social network analysis * Misbehavior detection in communities * Migration between communities over the time * Recommendations for product adoption, customer acquisition and churn prevention by using social network analysis * Scalability of social networks * Statistical modeling of large networks * Temporal analysis on social networks topologies and structures * Visual representation of dynamic social networks Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit by January 31, 2012, a full chapter containing up to 12,000 words (around 20 pages). Authors of accepted draft chapters will be notified by April 15, 2012 about the status of their submission. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. All submissions should be proceeded by registering an account through the iConcept Press website at www.iconceptpress.com.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfParticipation: XQS / FVS-Konferenz zur Softwareentwicklung am 26. und 27.10.2011 Date: Sun, 09 Oct 2011 13:22:49 +0200 From: Carsten Brockmann <cbrockmann(a)lswi.de> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, die Softwareentwicklung wird auf Grund zunehmend globaler Projekte durch einen stetig steigenden Komplexitätsgrad geprägt. Eine termintreue Abwicklung von Entwicklungsvorhaben lässt sich oftmals nur durch Outsourcing von Teilprojekten realisieren. Hierbei stehen Länder wie China immer stärker im Fokus, da das dortige Angebot an Softwareentwicklern deutlich in Qualität und Quantität gestiegen ist. Das Spannungsfeld für deutsche im Pharmabereich tätige IT-Unternehmen besteht nun darin, fehlerfreie Software trotz des Outsourcing zu erstellen. Hierzu findet am 26.-27. Oktober 2011 in Gattendorf (Bayern) die erste XQS/FVS-Konferenz zum Thema Softwareentwicklung statt. Eröffnet wird die Konferenz mit einer Keynote zum Thema "Spannungsfelder und Herausforderungen der internationalen Softwareentwicklung im medizinischen und pharmatechnischen Umfeld". Schwerpunkte der Konferenz werden einerseits das Outsourcing der Softwareentwicklung nach China sowie IT in der Pharmabranche und Softwareentwicklung mit Eclipse sein. Die Teilnahme (inkl. Galadinner, Bustransfer zum Konferenzhotel und die Übernachtung im Konferenzhotel) ist in der Konferenzgebühr enthalten. Das Tagungsprogramm können Sie folgender Website entnehmen: http://www.xqs-service.de/itkonferenz Kurzüberblick: · Termin: 26. und 27.10.2011 · Ort: Gattendorf (Bayern) · URL: xqs-service.de/itkonferenz Beste Grüße: Carsten Brockmann ********************************************************************* Dipl.-Kfm.
