This paper evaluates the current state of application development, finding practice wanting in a number of areas. Changes recommended to fix historical shortcomings include improved management attention to risk management, testing, and detailed work practices. In addition, for industry?s move to services orientation, recommended changes include development of usable interfaces and a view of applications as embedded in the larger business services in which they function. These business services relate to both services provided to parent-organization customers as well as services provided by the information technology organization to its constituents. Because of this shift toward service orientation, more emphasis on usability, applications, testing, and improvement of underlying process quality are needed. The shift to services can be facilitated by adopting tenets of IT service management and user-centered design and by attending to service delivery during application development.

Model-driven approaches tackle the complexity of composite applications caused by domain and technology heterogeneity and integration requirements. The method and framework described in this paper generate all artefacts (workflow, data, user interfaces, etc.), required for a composite application from high level service oriented descriptions of the composite application, using model transformation and code generation techniques.

To achieve this goal, one requirement is to have an infrastructure able to support the execution of specifications of learning scenarios. This paper presents an open service-oriented architecture based on the Open Services Interface Definition (OSID) specifications proposed by the Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) and other normative specifications. The architecture is used as a technological infrastructure in a virtual learning environment with more than 40,000 students enrolled and has been tested as the infrastructure of a tool to automate specifications of learning scenarios. A case study has been used to test the suitability of the architecture and describe such a tool for the future.

Banu (Narasu?s Sarathy Institute of Technology, India) H. Inbarani (Periyar University, India) As websites increase in complexity, locating needed information becomes a difficult task. Such difficulty is often related to the websites? design but also ineffective and inefficient navigation processes. Research in web mining addresses this problem by applying techniques from data mining and machine learning to web data and documents. In this study, the authors examine web usage mining, applying data mining techniques to web server logs. Web usage mining has gained much attention as a potential approach to fulfill the requirement of web personalization. In this paper, the authors propose K-means biclustering, rough biclustering and fuzzy biclustering approaches to disclose the duality between users and pages by grouping them in both dimensions simultaneously. The simultaneous clustering of users and pages discovers biclusters that correspond to groups of users that exhibit highly correlated ratings on groups of pages. The results indicate that the fuzzy C-means biclustering algorithm best and is able to detect partial matching of preferences.

However, the relationship between IT capabilities and business performance is not always straightforward. How does SOA support fast innovation in practice, and under which conditions is it effective? In this paper, the authors investigate these issues and ask: How can a SOA architecture like the Enterprise Service Bus support business innovation? This paper investigates this question through a case study at an airline company. Analyzing the relationship between innovation and IT architecture in the company over time, the authors offer the following conclusion: ESB gives strong support to business innovation, under two conditions. First, the implementation of ESB has to be comprehensive, that is, it should include the core processes of the business. Second, the top management (and partners) need to understand the principles of ESB.

These interdependencies can be the result of loosely integrated collaborative activities (the use of coordination processes within the collaboration activities is not required) or tightly integrated collaborative activities (sophisticated coordination mechanisms are necessary). The existence of both activities along with the dynamic nature of these environments adds a greater complexity to the coordination that has not been taken into account in traditional collaborative systems. In this work, the authors present a partially Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) that defines and maintains dynamic coordination polities in collaborative systems based on coordination models.

Fwd: [AISWorld] BPMDS'2011 - Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] BPMDS'2011 - Call for Papers Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 23:37:13 +0100 From: Selmin Nurcan <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleague, From 2011, BPMDS becomes a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). One of the major aims is to discuss and to learn about concepts and techniques to enhance the ability to engineer software systems closer the business requirements. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings to be published by Springer LNBIP (joint with EMMSAD). Please find underneath the Call for Paper of the BPMDS'2011 conference held in conjunction with CAISE'2011. I will be grateful to you for advertising BPMDS'11 and inviting your colleagues and/or research students to submit their work. The submission deadline is on *February 25th*, 2011. Best regards, Selmin Nurcan On behalf of BPMDS'2011 Organising Committee -------------8<-------------------8<-------------------8<-------------------8<------- BPMDS 2011 International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS'2011) the 12th edition of the BPMDS series held in Conjunction with CAiSE’11 20-21 June 2011, London, UK The Call for Papers can be downloaded from the BPMDS Web site http://bpmds.org/ SPONSORS: -------- - Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). As of 2010, BPMDS is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series (http://www.caise2011.com). - International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1) (https://research.idi.ntnu.no/ifip-wg81/). Sponsor since 2009. ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE: -------------------------- The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on IT support for business processes. This is one of the keystones of Information Systems theory. We strongly believe that any major conference in the area of Information Systems needs to address such topics independently of the current fashion. The continued interest in these topics on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the last BPMDS workshops and the recent emergence of new conferences devoted to the theme. The BPMDS series has produced eleven workshops from 1998 to 2010. From 2011, BPMDS becomes a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). While changing the status of BPMDS, we preserve the basic principles of the BPMDS series: 1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development 2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3. Each event has a theme that is, from now, mandatory for visionary papers. 4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: http://www.ibissoft.se/bpmds.html BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ------------------- Previously, each event had a relatively narrow theme, different each year, related to the current progress in the area of BPM. Our intention is now to solicit papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a main selection criterion, instead of relevance to a narrower theme. As a working conference, we would like to attract more papers describing mature research, still giving place to industrial reports and visionary papers. In addition, we will have a theme whose relevance will be the main criterion for the selection of visionary papers only. We no longer require for full research papers and experience reports to be directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to BPMDS though). We only suggest to the authors of research papers and experience reports, wherever possible, to make connection to the theme. The theme chosen for BPMDS'11 visionary papers is Making BPM theory work in practice: "There is nothing more practical then a good theory (Kurt Levin)" We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this theme in relation to BPMDS. We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well as experience reports on using theories in practice. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: ---------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling, simulating or executing business processes - Business process modeling languages, notations and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling: integration and coherence - A broad view on strategy, business processes, people and IT: alignment, fit and coherence - Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse - Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components; modeling for reuse - Domain specific reference models - Business-IT alignment through business processes - Resource management in business process modeling and support - User-oriented aspects of the business process modeling and support - Cross-organizational business processes - Business process change management and governance issues - Verification and validation of business process models - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Efficiency, adequacy, flexibility, agility, compliance, reliability, security in business process modeling and execution - Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement - Business process support architectures and platforms - BPMDS based on a service-oriented architecture - BPMDS combined with social software and social networks - Mobile technologies and context aware business process modelling SUBMISSIONS: ----------- Papers submission deadline: February 25th, 2011 Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that concerns business process modeling and development, and business process support (development of software dedicated to business processes) and that may be related to one or more of the topics for discussion listed above. We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For research papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation. Thus three kinds of submissions are possible. (1) Full research papers of up to 15 pages. (2) Experience reports of up to 15 pages (which should follow guidelines in http://processplatsen.ibissoft.se/node/72). (3) Visionary papers of up to 8 pages, devoted to research in progress or to position papers; the compliance to the theme is mandatory for visionary papers. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them. Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2011 E-mail also your abstract as an attachment to mailto:selmin.nurcan@univ-paris1.fr PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), under the title of "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling” as the two previous years. The proceedings of BPMDS’09 and BPMDS’10 have been published under the references LNBIP 29 and JNBIP 50. After the BPMDS’11 conference, extended versions of the accepted papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal (previous special issues: BPMDS’09 in IJISMD under press - BPMDS’08 in SPIP in progress - BPMDS'07 in IJBPIM, vol. 4, issue 2, 2009 - BPMDS'06 in IJBPIM, vol. 3, issue 1, 2008 - BPMDS'05 in SPIP, vol. 12, issue 1, 2007 - BPMDS'04 in SPIP vol. 10, issue 4, 2005& REJ vol. 10, issue 3, 2005.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JAIS January 2011 issue published Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 09:07:24 +1100 From: Gregor, Shirley <Shirley.Gregor(a)anu.edu.au> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Gregor, Shirley <Shirley.Gregor(a)anu.edu.au> The four papers for the JAIS January 2011 issue are now available: The Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) Official Publication of the Association for Information Systems Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2011 Published: Monthly Electronically ISSN: 1536-9323 Published by the Association for Information Systems, Atlanta, USA http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/ Editor-in-Chief: Professor Shirley Gregor, The Australian National University, Australia PAPER ONE Decision Factors for the Adoption and Continued Use of Online Direct Sales Channels among SMEs Xiaolin Li, Towson University Marvin D. Troutt, Kent State University Alan Brandyberry, Kent State University Tuo Wang, Kent State University Although more and more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) use the Internet for business purposes, few of them have adopted the Internet as an online direct sales channel (ODSC). Among those that do use the ODSC, some end up abandoning it after adoption. This study explores a few critical factors underlying the initial adoption and continued use of online direct sales channels among SMEs. Synthesizing existing works, we construct an innovation adoption decision factors classification framework that classifies innovation decision factors into three dimensions: decision entity factors, decision object factors, and context factors. We then operationalize these factors in the context of SMEs’ initial adoption and post-adoption continued use of online direct sales channels. We conduct a survey study on SMEs within the United States. The results demonstrate that an SME’s initial adoption and post-adoption continued use of an ODSC involve different sets of decision factors. Furthermore, results demonstrate a learning effect within adopting firms that implies they perceive the relative advantage of ODSC differently in comparison to pre-adopters.

Wells, University of Massachusetts Amherst Veena Parboteeah, Eastern New Mexico University Joseph S. Valacich, Washington State University With the proliferation of e-commerce, there is growing evidence that online impulse buying is an emerging phenomenon, which has been the focus of researchers from a variety of disciplines. This paper reports on two empirical studies that examine the interplay between a consumer’s inherent impulsiveness to buy and website quality. Specifically, consistent with past online impulse buying research, website quality manifests as an environmental cue that directly influences the likelihood that a consumer will experience an urge to buy impulsively. Further, highly impulsive consumers can be both positively and negatively influenced by varying degrees of website quality. Thus, while the objective quality of an e-commerce website is important, the inherent impulsiveness of a consumer is also a critical factor for understanding how and why individuals react impulsively to varying degrees of website quality. The implications of the results for both future research and the design of electronic commerce websites are discussed.

Dos Santos, University of Louisville Pankaj C. Patel, Ball State University Rodney R. D’Souza, Northern Kentucky University The success of new ventures can hinge on obtaining venture capital (VC) funding. Virtually every successful IT venture has depended on VC funding early in its history. However, obtaining venture capital is difficult. Unlike earlier studies on VC funding that consider new ventures to be homogeneous, this study seeks to identify factors that VCs consider when they make funding decisions for IT ventures. Building on prior research in the area of agency and business risk, we develop a theoretical model that draws on work in finance and entrepreneurship. The model suggests that VCs consider two types of risk: business risk and agency risk. The relative importance of these two types of risk may be different across industries. We test this model using data from 139 business plans for IT startups that were considered for funding by VCs. Traditional structural equation modeling (SEM) does not accommodate non-normal data or dichotomous outcome variables. Using the Robust Weighted Least Squares approach, we test our model with non-normal data and dichotomous outcomes. In addition, we use Tetrad analysis to check model fit against alternative models, floor and ceiling analysis to test sample frame validity, relative effect size comparison to test relative elasticity of effects, and a Monte Carlo estimation approach to test overall model power and power of individual paths. We find that business risk is an important factor in start-up funding for IT ventures. We do not find agency risk to be an important consideration in start-up funding for IT ventures.

This paper proposes the adoption of relevant Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) practices in order to improve software development projects in industry. Many FLOSS projects have proven to be very successful, producing high quality products with steady and frequent releases. This study aims to identify FLOSS practices that can be adapted for the corporate environment. To achieve this goal, a framework to compare FLOSS and industrial development methodologies was created. Three successful FLOSS projects were selected as study targets (the Linux Kernel, the FreeBSD operating system, and the JBoss application server), as well as two projects from Ericsson, a large telecommunications company. Based on an analysis of these projects, FLOSS best practices were tailored to fit industrial development environments. The final results consisted of a set of key adoption opportunities that aimed to improve software quality and overall development productivity by importing best practices from the FLOSS environment. The adoption opportunities were then validated at three large corporations. To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below. http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/vol12/iss1/1/

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd Call for Papers: AOSE'2011 Submission Deadline February 5 Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 20:06:52 +0100 From: "Jörg P. Müller" <joerg.mueller(a)tu-clausthal.de> To: Verborgene_Empfaenger:; ******************************************************************************* Call For Papers AOSE 2011 12th International Workshop on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering Held with AAMAS 2011, Taipei, Taiwan, May 2/3, 2011 http://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/aose/2011/ MOTIVATION Since the early 1990s, multi-agent system researchers have developed a large body of knowledge on the foundations and engineering principles for designing and developing agent-based systems. The 11 past editions of the agent-oriented software engineering workshop (AOSE) had a key role in this endeavor. For 2011, the workshop organizers and the steering committee plan to organize a special edition of AOSE. In particular, we aim to wrap up the previous editions of the workshop with a discussion of the the state of the art in the key areas of AOSE and based on that outline the future of the field. This way, we aim to find a way out of the increasing fragmentation and fuzziness on software engineering in AOSE. The workshop program will be based on invited papers complemented with accepted papers from the call for papers. Invited papers will be presented by renowned researches and engineers in different areas of the field, including agent-oriented methodologies, coordination infrastructures for multi-agent systems, programming agents and multi-agent systems, engineering multi-agent organizations, engineering self-organizing systems, agents and services. Regular papers can focus on any aspect of agent-oriented software engineering. However, we encourage authors to pay particular attention on challenges for future research and the position of their work in the broader field of agent oriented software engineering and software engineering in general. The workshop organizers plan to edit a special issue in a high-quality journal with the invited papers and selected regular papers. Additionally, we plan to publish accepted papers in a volume of the Lecture Notes for Computer Science series. GOALS and TOPICS The general goal of this year's workshop is to to bring together leading research and engineers in AOSE to consolidate the state of the art in the field and discuss the future of the field. To that end, we will combine a series of invited papers with a call for regular papers. Topics of invited papers include: * Agent-oriented methodologies * Coordination infrastructures for multi-agent systems * Programming agents and multi-agent systems * Engineering multi-agent organizations * Engineering self-organizing systems * Agents and services Invited papers will be written and presented by renowned researches and engineers in the field. The idea is not to have papers focusing on the authors their specific work, but to have papers with a vision that are based on the key work in each area, and an outline of the challenges for future research. Topics of regular papers include but are not restricted to: * Goal-oriented design * Reusable design knowledge: patterns and reference architectures * Qualities and tradeoffs of agent-based architectures * Modeling and simulation in AOSE * Agents and model-driven approaches * Verification of agent-based software * Middleware integration of agent-based software * Integration of agents with legacy systems * Testing of agent-based software * Validation of agent technology in practice * CASE tools to support agent-oriented software development in practice * Implications of introducing agent-based solutions on the development organization * Standardization efforts for multi-agent systems * Agent-based methods and solutions for managing complexity * Alignment of agents with service-oriented software development * Agents for self-adaptive systems Authors of regular papers can focus on theoretical, experimental, methodological, and practical aspects. In line with the general goal of the workshop, we encourage authors to position their work in the broader field of agent-oriented software engineering and software engineering in general, and outline the challenges for future research. AUTHOR GUIDELINES AOSE welcomes the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers which focus on the topics outlined above. Submitted papers will will be evaluated by three members of the PC. Papers that present a valuable idea that needs further development can be accepted as a short paper.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP CAiSE 2011 workshop IN2SP Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 12:11:18 +0100 From: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> To: <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers CAiSE Workshop 2011 INternet INformation Systems Pragmatics (IN2SP) June 20-21,2011 London, UK Relating to the 2010 conference theme "Information Systems in a diverse world" IN2SP calls for papers that address the tension between universal standards, interoperability requirements and ontology integration on the one hand, and local particularities, contextualization and ontology divergence on the other. The workshop encourages specifically explorative papers that by dealing with new Internet challenges deepen our theoretical knowledge on pragmatics. Traditionally, the study of signs (semiotics) distinguishes three components: syntax,semantics and pragmatics, where semantics deals with the meaning of symbols and pragmatics with their context of usage. The overall objective of the IN2SP workshop is to address upcoming IS research challenges related to the Internet from a pragmatic perspective. New challenges include but are not limited to the Internet of Services, Smart Computing and Social Network Analysis. In the case of Internet of Services, it has become clear that more attention should be given to the business and legal aspects of service provisioning and service adaptation. One of the challenges of Smart Computing is the transition from message-driven information systems, using standards such as UN/CEFACT, to event-driven systems built on myriads of sensors. More knowledge of Social Networks and their dynamics is needed for understanding the social context of communication. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Information systems in context. How to deal with context-sensitivity of information and meaning, in particular in the light of global standards and context-independent semantic web technologies. - Pragmatics of the web: what do people do when they communicate via Internet? - Pragmatics of the Internet of Things and Smart Computing: are current modeling approaches (at business level and process level) appropriate for modeling ubiquitous computing applications? And how can a pragmatic approach be of help? - Pragmatics of the Internet of Services: how to model the pragmatics of service use (including the economic/business aspect)? - Pragmatics of the Social Web. IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission deadline: Feb, 25, 2011 - Notification of acceptance: March, 21, 2011 - Workshop: London, June 20, 2011 ORGANIZERS Dr. Hans Weigand (contact) h.weigand(a)uvt.nl Tilburg University, The Netherlands Professor Dr. Adrian Paschke Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany MORE INFORMATION http://www.caise2011.com/workshopsAndrelatedEvents.php -- 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
