***************************************************************************
The Nineth International Conference on Service Oriented Computing
Paphos, Cyprus
December 5-8, 2011
http://www.icsoc.org/
CALL FOR PAPERS
***************************************************************************
THE CONFERENCE
Since 2003, The International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC) has been the main forum for academics and industry researchers and developers to report and share groundbreaking works in service-oriented computing. ICSOC aims at fostering cross-community scientific excellence and collaboration by the gathering of experts from various disciplines, such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, ubiquitous computing, grid computing, service science, management science, and software engineering.
Service innovation is key to the future of business. Even in traditionally manufacturing-driven industries, such as IT, the importance of service has surpassed most other corporate competences. The Internet and Web-based services create ever more opportunities for service innovation. Service science is an interdisciplinary approach to the study, design, and implementation of service systems - the specific arrangements of people, organizations, technologies, and information that co-create value. Service systems are often IT-enabled and knowledge-intensive, and can span different real or virtual organizations. In this multidisciplinary context, researchers and practitioners in management, social sciences, and computer sciences are all working together to promote and facilitate service innovation.
While keeping its roots in scientific excellence and technical depth of service technology, ICSOC 2011 aims at examining the research opportunities that are offered by the possible blend of service-oriented computing with cloud computing. In cloud computing, software platforms, applications and data reside in providers' servers called clouds. By making clouds ubiquitously available, a more rapid and low cost access to a shared pool of virtualized and configurable computing resources is offered to enterprises that would like to diversify their application computation and data storage strategies. "Service-oriented and cloud computing" is this time the main theme for ICSOC 2011. Questions like how does service-oriented computing support the transition to cloud-based solutions, and how does it support Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) models are highlighted for researchers to be discussed during the conference.
ICSOC 2011 will bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines to focus on service-oriented, cloud-based innovative for the 21st century enterprises. The conference will feature research and industry presentations, keynote presentations, workshops, demonstrations, tutorials, and a PhD track. Please refer to www.icsoc.org for calls for workshops, demonstrations, and tutorials.

Call for Papers
(submission deadline: March 1st)
Introduction
============
Software security is about protecting information and ensuring that
systems continue to function correctly even when under malicious
attack. The traditional approach of securing a system has been to
create defensive walls such as intrusion detection systems and
firewalls around it, but there are always cracks in these walls, and
thus such measures are no longer sufficient by themselves. We need to
be able to build better, more robust and more _inherently secure_
systems, and we should strive to achieve these qualities in all
software systems, not just in the ones that _obviously_ need special
protection. This workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and
lessons learned for building secure and dependable software.
Topics
======
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Secure architecture and design
- Security in agile software development
- Aspect-oriented software development for secure software
- Security requirements
- Risk management in software projects
- Secure implementation

- Testing for security
- Quantitative measurement of security properties
- Static and dynamic analysis for security
- Verification and assurance techniques for security properties
- Security and usability
- Design and deployment of secure services
- Secure composition and adaptation of services
- Teaching secure software development
- Experience reports on successfully attuning developers to
secure software engineering
- Lessons learned

CALL FOR PAPERS
17th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Detroit, Michigan
August 4 - 7, 2011
Detroit Marriott Hotel
http://amcis2011.aisnet.org/
Mini-track title: Enterprise Systems Adoption and Business
Models
Track: Enterprise Systems and Organizational Issues
Complete Papers Due: February 28, 2011
Enterprise systems (ES), extremely complicated software
packages designed for integrating data flow across an
entire company, emerged as a result of evolution from MRP,
MRP II and ERP systems. Stepwise, the evolving systems
covered more and more areas of the company?s operation and
presently they extend over the organizational boundaries
and support inter-organizational activities. Currently, ES
are expected to effectively support modern organizations
that operate in a dynamic and turbulent business
environment, experience the consequences of globalization,
face mergers and takeovers, and may take part in various
business alliances.
Frequently, the adoption of an ES is an enormous challenge
for an organization which stems from the system
complexity, organizational context and people involved in
the implementation project. Usually, ES adoption is a long
and multi-stage process during which various problems and
complications may occur. Moreover, the ES adoption
projects typically involve a great number of stakeholders
who represent different company departments, various
organizational hierarchies, and often external companies
operating in various industries. These stakeholders may
have conflicting interests and their own definition of
project success. Overall, ES implementation projects tend
to be very unique and challenging endeavors.
Providers of enterprise systems for a long time relied on
strong revenues from maintenance fees besides their
revenues from licenses. Nowadays, shorter product life
cycles, rising consulting revenues, Open Source Software
and SaaS are impacting their business models. ES providers
have to face the challenge of delivering systems which are
highly customizable software products able to fit the
needs of a variety of adopting companies. This might be
important since, as prior research suggests, the issue of
alignment between ES and adopting organizations is one of
the determinants of successful enterprise system
implementation.
This mini-track invites papers that examine various
aspects related to the determinants of ES success and
business models. Both empirical and theoretical papers are
invited. The general research questions addressed in this
mini-track can be formulated as follows: What are the
mechanisms determining successful ES adoption? What are
the underlying business models of companies delivering
successfully adaptable ES? What kind of business models
exist?
Suggested topics of interest include but are not limited
to:
- motivation and justification for ES adoption,
- alignment between ES and adopting organization,
- barriers and impediments to ES adoption success,
- risk factors in ES adoption,
- critical failure factors for ES adoption,
- critical success factors for ES adoption,
- understanding of ES adoption success,
- evaluation and benchmarking of ES projects,
- multi-cultural and multi-national issues,
- multiple stakeholder perspective in ES adoption and use,
- business model frameworks,
- impact of new trends within the software industry on
business models,
- business model innovation for standard software
companies,
- implications of shorter product life cycles on business
models,
- SaaS related business models,
- open source software related business models.

9th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SYSTEM/SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURES (IWSSA'11)
http://www.ugr.es/~iwssa/
20-21th June, 2011, London, England
(pre-conference workshop of CAiSE 2011)
__________________________
THEME
Diverse interacting information and software systems are needed by cities
conducting large-scale events such as the Olympics, Worldcup Football, and
the like. Some of these systems monitor and control
utilities required for hosting the events including electricity, water
supply, gas supply, and the like, while others are used to monitor and
control systems with wider geographic spread such as air traffic, sea and
river traffic, and highway transportation systems. However, all these
systems must be designed to operate collaboratively so that event
organizers receive latest scenarios of the environment of the games and
take appropriate actions which may include change of venue,
postponement, or even cancellation of events. This is particularly
relevant in view of threats to life and society in modern times.
However, diverse information systems that monitor and control critical
infrastructures do not collaborate by accident:
collaboration, interoperability, reliability, and security need to be
designed into such systems. Since architecture development is usually the
first step in system or software design, designers need to address these
non-functional requirements, which are sometimes conflicting or
synergistic, in the architectures themselves. In particular,
non-functional and development requirements, and constraints take
special relevance due to the new environments in which the systems
themselves have to operate, i.e., some kind of combination of internet and
pervasive systems. In this workshop, contributions addressing the explicit
connection between requirements and architecture models through
innovative techniques, methodologies and processes will be presented and
discussed.
________________________________________
TOPICS
The topics, with special emphasis on architectures satisfying
requirements in specific domains, include but are not limited to:
• architecting critical systems for diversity and collaborative
operationality
• roles of enterprise/system architectures
• requirements and software architectures for specific application
domains and case studies, especially, complex systems that use
technology in organizational and social contexts
• architectural models in model-driven approaches
• traceability of requirements in architectures
• engineering quality in architectures to include non-functional
requirements such as security, interoperability, adaptability,
responsiveness, ubiquity, reliability, dependability, self-healing
ability, performance, usability, safety, etc.
• methodologies and techniques applied to the construction of
high-quality system/software architectures
• models and design theories for software architectures
• software architecture maintenance, evolution and management
• validation of requirements and verification techniques of properties
in architectural design
• metrics and architectures
• service-oriented / object-oriented / aspect-oriented / goal-oriented /
agent-oriented / scenario-based approaches to enterprise/software
architecture development
• COTS / GOTS / Component / Middleware-Based development for
architectures
• Ontology Driven Architectures
________________________________________
PAPERS
Papers should explore open research problems, as well as provide
advances in the areas of architectures, requirements and development.
Papers submitted to IWSSA’11 must not have been accepted for publication
elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All
papers will be peer-reviewed by the PC members. Two types of papers in
English are invited from academia and industry:
• Short paper: maximum 6 pages (according to workshop instructions) for
position paper or work-in-progress
• Full paper: maximum 12 pages (according to workshop instructions) for
research results or experience
Accepted papers will be published in a LNBIP Proceedings Volume by

CALL FOR PAPERS - 17th Americas Conference on Information
Systems (AMCIS)
Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning through
Technology"
August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA
**********************************************************
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from
large monolithic systems to more and more fragmented systems
distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions,
processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. This change
has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and
more business functionality into ERP. Starting from material
requirements planning (MRP) and manufacturing resource
planning (MRP II), the financial and human resources
functions as well as executive information systems and
eventually long-term strategic planning support for senior
management have been included.
These developments have made an ERP system "the" core
information system of an organization -- and the
technological backbone that other information systems need
to collaborate with. ERP related functionality such as
supply chain management (SCM ), customer relationship
management (CRM) and supplier relationship management (SRM)
is either integrated, embedded or closely coupled with an
ERP system.
Software, hardware and networking technology has enabled the
increased importance of ERP systems, but it also posed
technological and managerial challenges. In contrast to the
early ERP monoliths, we nowadays have distributed
architectures -- both conventional in-house architectures
such as client-server and service oriented architectures
(SOA) as well as externally hosted architectures used by
application-service-providing (ASP) and software-on-demand
solutions. With the appearance of mobile commerce,
software-as-a-service (SaaS) approaches and cloud computing,
additional challenges have emerged.
Technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID)
have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act
and react in real-time. RFID, smart items and the "Internet
of things" impose new requirements on ERP systems, such as
being capable of context-aware information processing.
For the new technologies to be successfully implemented,
security issues need to be resolved and a satisfactory level
of trust in the technologies has to be created. The major
vendors' inability to generate significant revenue from
software-on-demand solutions indicates that businesses are
not ready yet to adopt out-of-house ERP solutions on a
large-scale basis. The hurdle is likely to be even higher
when anonymous providers of infrastructure and services come
into the game, as is the case with cloud computing.
Organizations seem to be hesitant about having their
mission-critical business processes run somewhere out in a
"cloud" and maintaining their core business data in a nirvana.
The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new
technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource
planning. We invite papers that pursue a constructionist
approach to information systems development, following an
engineering-like or design-science research style. Papers
presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of
concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give
consideration to the business value of the proposed
approaches or solutions.
*Suggested Topics*
·Architectures for ERP and related business information systems
·ERP systems based on service oriented architectures (SOA)
·Software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP and related
areas
·Orchestrating an ERP system from web services/enterprise
services
·ERP on demand for small and medium-size enterprises
·Federated ERP systems, standardization and collaboration issues
·ERP and cloud computing
·Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP
·Integrating RFID solutions with ERP
·Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems
·Integrating legacy ERP systems with new components using
state-of-the-art technologies
·Mobile ERP and related areas such as mobile SCM, mobile CRM
and mobile SRM
·Security issues and trust in new technologies for
enterprise resource planning

Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special track on "T-Shaped
Professionals & Researchers" as part of the 2nd
International Research Symposium in Service Management
(IRSSM-2)

Dear Colleagues,
Hello! We are serving as co-chairs for the special track on "T-Shaped Professionals& Researchers" as part of the 2nd International Research Symposium in Service Management (IRSSM-2) in Yogyakarta-Indonesia, 26-30 July 2011. My co-chairs and I would like to invite you to consider submitting a paper to our track. The deadline for submitting an abstract (500 words) is coming closer: February 15, 2011. The goal of this special track is to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities related to the service professionals, from conceptualization to practical implementation. We are interested in novel education and research approaches to establish non-silo, T-shape professionals. We thank you, in advance, for your valuable contribution to IRSSM-2. Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information. We look forward to receiving your submission!
Best Regards,
Track Co-Chairs: Haluk Demirkan (Haluk.demirkan(a)asu.edu), Wendy Murphy and Hossein S. Zadeh (hossein.zadeh(a)rmit.edu.au)
Senior Advisors: James C. Spohrer and Jay Kandampully
Thinking about the Shape of Professionals: Exploring the Cost and Benefits of Educating Professionals with Different Shapes
I-shaped professionals may be very good as a "lone" innovator, but not so good at collaboration. Nicholas Donofrio, retired IBM Executive put it this way...
"The kind of people who will be best able to seize these opportunities are those I call "T-shaped" as opposed to "I-shaped." I-shaped people have great credentials, great educations, and deep knowledge-deep but narrow. The geniuses who win Nobel prizes are "I-shaped," as are most of the best engineers and scientists. But the revolutionaries who have driven most recent innovation and who will drive nearly all of it in the future are "T-shaped." That is, they have their specialties-areas of deep expertise-but on top of that they boast a solid breadth, an umbrella if you will, of wide-ranging knowledge and interests. It is the ability to work in an interdisciplinary fashion and to see how different ideas, sectors, people, and markets connect. Natural-born "T's are perhaps rare, but I believe people can be trained to be T-shaped. One problem is that our educational system is still intent on training more "I's. We need to change that."
Some big unanswered questions are: How can we assess or measure the shape of an individual? How does the shape of an individual relate to career success in different types of job roles? For different types of organizations, some innovative and some doing more routine processes, what is the ideal mixture of professionals of different shapes? At the national level, what populations of shapes allow for both efficiency and innovation? How does knowledge of disciplines, real-world systems, cultures, book knowledge, and real world experience, all come to play in the cost of producing individuals with particular shapes, and then come together again in the context of on the job performance in populations of people with different shapes?
Key Dates for This Track
