-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Workshop on Formal Methods in the Development of Software 2011 - Call for Papers Date: Wed, 02 Mar 2011 11:49:17 +0100 From: "César Andrés Sánchez" <c.andres(a)fdi.ucm.es> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************************************************** 1st Workshop on Formal Methods in the Development of Software (WS-FMDS) http://antares.sip.ucm.es/ws-fmds2011/ Collocated with QSIC 2011, the 11th International Conference On Quality Software Madrid, Spain, July 13-14, 2011 http://antares.sip.ucm.es/qsic2011 ******************************************************************** == SCOPE== Developing software concerns all the aspects of the production cycle of software systems and requires expertise in data management, design and algorithm paradigms, programming languages, and human computer interfaces. Most software development life cycle methodologies are either iterative or follow a sequential model. Such systems may contain a huge amount of lines of code. Thus, when developing these systems, it is necessary to apply sound engineering principles in order to economically obtain reliable and efficient software. Formal methods refer to techniques based on mathematics for the specification, development, and verification of systems. The use of formal methods is especially important in reliable systems where, due to safety and security reasons, it is important to ensure that errors are not included during the development process. Formal methods are particularly effective when used early in the development process, at the requirements and specification levels, but can be used for a completely formal development of a system. One of the advantages of using a formal representation of systems is that it allows to rigorously analyze their properties. In particular, it helps to establish the correctness of the system with respect to the specification or the fulfillment of a specific set of requirements, to check the semantic equivalence of two systems, to analyze the preference of a system to another one with respect to a given criterion, to predict the possibility of incorrect behaviors, to establish the performance level of a system, etc. This new workshop welcomes papers on any aspect concerning the formal development of software systems. === TOPICS OF INTEREST=== The aim of WS-FMDS is to bring together scientists and practitioners who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. This workshop also strive to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: * Formal methodologies applied to security, performance and quality of Software. * Model-driven development, testing, and analysis of Software. * Formal testing. * Combinations of different formal techniques. * Measurement and metrics. * Experience of industrial case studies. * Implementation of platforms / tools. === PAPER SUBMISSION, REVIEW AND PUBLISHING === Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. All papers must be submitted at the following submission site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wsfmds11. Each submitted paper must conform to the IEEE format and submission guidelines. Papers should not exceed 8 pages in length. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the participants of the workshop. Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers, and accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library. === IMPORTANT DATES === March 12, 2011: Deadline for submission of papers April 20, 2011: Notification to authors April 30, 2011: Deadline for camera-ready versions July 13-14, 2011: QSIC 2011 workshops === ORGANIZATION === Chairs --------- * César Andrés, U.

This research stream is considered one of the top ten issues of information systems management. However, more research is needed to identify factors that contribute to information systems effectiveness. To date, a number of information systems success models have been introduced, such as the McLean and DeLone IS Success model and Seddon’s Model. However, the scope and approach of these IS success studies has created little consensus on the assessment of IS success. New approaches may better identify, explain, and improve the various measurements of these models. *Objectives of the Book* This book will establish and explore existing and emerging theories on information systems success, present the latest empirical research findings in the area of information systems success and measurement from an organizational perspective, and explore new technologies and practices in this area. The purpose of this book is to expand the knowledge and understanding of information systems success and measurement for a better and successful implementation in organizations. *Target Audience* The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information systems success and measurement. Moreover, the book will also be a reference for researchers, professionals and students in management information systems science and related fields. The book will also be useful for practitioners, information systems managers, CEOs, CIOs who are responsible for implementing various information systems in their businesses and organizations. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Information systems success theories and models Information systems Success measurement Organizational issues with respect to information systems success and measurement Information systems success and measurement implementation issues Case studies and practical application into information systems success and measurement Empirical validation of information systems success models Critics and analysis on information systems success models Information systems success and managerial issues Methodological issues on information systems success. *Submission Procedure* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before March 25, 2011, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by March 30, 2011 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ComposableWeb 2011: Preliminary Call for Papers Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 22:42:34 +0100 From: Florian Daniel <daniel(a)disi.unitn.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org THIRD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON LIGHTWEIGHT INTEGRATION ON THE WEB (ComposableWeb 2011) Workshop held in conjunction with ICWE 2011 June 20-24, 2011, Paphos, Cyprus Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/site/composableweb2011/ IMPORTANT DATES --------------- April 26, 2011: Paper submission (23h59 Hawaii Time) May 26, 2011: Author notification (23h59 Hawaii Time) June 13, 2011: Camera-ready submission (23h59 Hawaii Time) WORKSHOP RATIONALE AND AIMS --------------------------- In the context of the Web, the word "mashup" is used to denote Web applications that are materialized by integrating data, services and/or presentation of other (data) sources or applications. Mashups and mashup tools with their models, languages, and instruments for mashup development are innovative in that they tackle integration at the user interface level (most mashups do integrate presentation content, not "just" data), they aim at simplicity more than completeness of features (up to the point that advanced Web users, not only programmers, can develop composite applications), and they allow fairly sophisticated development tasks in the web browser. Over the last years, we have seen many efforts invested in research on mashups, in both the industrial and the academic context, yet we are still far from a common understanding of the problems that drive the research, of the approaches that best fit given problems, and even of the benefits of the results achieved so far. The goal of ComposableWeb is to stimulate the discussion of key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications, and trends in the area of web mashups and lightweight composition on the Web, so as to accelerate progress. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ Areas of particular interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to): * Web/service/data mashups * Web composition technologies * Web composition models and languages * Lightweight data integration * Lightweight application integration * Lightweight UI integration (integration at the presentation level) * Lightweight (semantic) metadata or knowledge integration * Design methodologies with/without user involvement * Domain-specific mashup approaches * New development models * Model-driven mashup approaches * End user oriented mashup approaches * User interface aspects of Web composition * Visual/graphical development metaphors * Context-aware and personalized Web composition/mashups * Usability and Accessibility of composite Web applications * Evaluation/quality of composite Web applications * Case studies and industrial experiences TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- ComposableWeb aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners with different research interests and belonging to communities like Web Engineering, Service Engineering, Business Process Management, Databases, Semantic Web, Software Composition and Software Engineering. PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Authors are invited to submit research papers and demo proposals. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages for research papers and 3 pages for demo proposals and should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format. After the successful experience of the 2009 and 2010 editions, we explicitly dedicate again at least one session of the workshop to demonstrations and hands-on discussions. Demos will be selected from the demo proposal submissions and from those accepted papers whose authors are willing to equip their presentation with an according demonstration. Papers are submitted as PDF files via the ComposableWeb 2011 EasyChair conference management system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=composableweb2011. Submitted research papers may not overlap with papers that have already been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. PROCEEDINGS ----------- Accepted papers will be published on the workshop web site ahead of the workshop and in the ICWE 2011 workshop post-proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series. For a paper to be published, at least one of its authors must register for the main conference and register for and participate in the workshop.

TIME TABLE April 5th, 2011 Submission of papers May 24th, 2011 Notification of acceptance: June 24th, 2011 Camera-ready papers Sept.19–24th, 2011 Workshops and Conference Conference Venue ADBIS 2011 will be held in the main building of the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) Vienna, Austria. For nearly 200 years, the TU Vienna has been a place of research, teaching and learning in the service of progress. The TU Vienna is among the most successful technical universities in Europe and is Austria’s largest research and educational institution in the area of technical sciences. Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a city of over 1.8 million inhabitants. It is one of the great cultural centres of Europe with a continuous history of more than 2000 years. During the Middle Ages, Vienna rose to importance in connecting central Europe with the East, and eventually became the capital of the vast Habsburg empire. The exceptional concentration of talent, reflected by the great achievements in music, art, and the sciences, was a consequence of Vienna’s role as a meeting place of a large number of different nations and traditions. Although much reduced in importance by the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy at the end of World War I, and placed on the periphery of the western world as a consequence of World War II, Vienna has retained its role as one of the leading capitals of Europe. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain it has successfully resumed its tradition of connecting the East and the West. Today Vienna is a thriving international city, integrating the rich inheritance of a glorious past with a dynamic approach to the modern world. As a seat of numerous international organizations and an important turntable for business enterprises, Vienna is at the same time a city of operas, concert halls, theatres, universities, museums, and, last but not least, of coffee houses and “Heurigen”. Its maybe this combination which makes Vienna such a favored destination for conferences and conventions.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] cfp: ACT4SOC 2011, 18-21 July, Saville, Spain Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 15:35:11 +0100 From: <B.Sapkota(a)utwente.nl> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apology if you receive multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S ------------------------------- Fifth International Workshop on Architectures, Concepts and Technologies for Service Oriented Computing - ACT4SOC 2011 in conjunction with the Sixth International Conference on Software and Data Technologies - ICSOFT 2011 18-21 July, 2011 - Seville, Spain http://www.icsoft.org/ACT4SOC.asp Scope ----- Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has emerged as a new computing paradigm for designing, building and using software applications to support business processes in heterogeneous, distributed and continuously changing environments. The architectural foundation for SOC is provided by the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which states that applications expose their functionality as services in a uniform and technology-independent way such that they can be discovered and invoked over the network. Claimed benefits of SOC include cheaper and faster development of business applications through repeated aggregation of services, better reuse of software artifacts and legacy applications through service wrappings, and easier adaptation to changes in the business environment through replacement and reconfiguration of services. In order to realize these benefits routinely with SOC, for realistic business settings with complex IT environments, many challenges still need to be addressed. For example, supporting business processes and collaborations in an open service-oriented world requires a better understanding of integration problems along different dimensions. First of all, alignment between business demands and application functions has to be achieved. This requirement for vertical integration should drive the aggregation of services, from basic IT services to rich business services, to achieve the desired or given business processes. Secondly, horizontal integration has to be considered if business collaborations span multiple organizations. In such cases, interoperability between the services has to be ensured at different levels (syntactic, semantic and pragmatic) and on different aspects (information and behavior). Thirdly, we have to assume that business demands as well as IT capabilities will change over time. This evolution will impact existing solutions, and thus require the adaptation, management and maintenance (e.g., versioning, replacing, updating) of services and service compositions. Moreover, changes that occur at one level or on one aspect have to be propagated to other levels and aspects in order to keep the consistency of the integration solution. And finally, all of the above challenges not only exist at design-time, but at run-time as well. Service composition may be on-demand, driven by an end-user service creation activity, and running instances of composite services are subject to changes concerning, for instance, the availability of resources. This implies that service level agreements and associated quality-of-service need to be negotiated, monitored, and controlled in multi-party and heterogeneous environments. The goal of the workshop is to focus on the fundamental and practical challenges related to SOC, to discuss what theoretical, architectural or technology foundation is needed, and how this foundation can be supported or realized by new or enhanced infrastructures, standards and/or technologies. The workshop aims at contributing to the dissemination of research results, establishment of a better understanding, and identification of new challenges related to SOC/SOA, by bringing together interested academic and industrial researchers.

Jansen College of Information Sciences and Technology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA Simone Schuster Department of Marketing, Smeal College of Business, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA 1-18 ABSTRACT In this research, we evaluate the effectiveness of the buying funnel as a model for understanding consumer interaction with keyword advertising campaigns on web search engines. We analyze data of nearly 7 million records from a 33 month, $56 million (US) search engine marketing campaign of a major US retailer. We classify key phrases used in this campaign into stages of the buying funnel (i.e., Awareness, Research, Decision, and Purchase) and then compare the consumer behaviors associated with each stage of the buying funnel using the critical keyword advertising metrics of impressions, clicks, cost-per-click, sales revenue, orders, and items sold. Findings from our analysis show that the stages from the buying funnel are effective for classifying types of queries, with statistically different consumer behaviors for all attributes among all stages. However, results also indicate that the buying funnel model does not represent the actual process that consumer engage in when contemplating a potential purchase, as the stages do not seem to be associated with expected consumer actions as predicted by the model. Results show that Awareness key phrases cost less and generate more sales revenue than Purchase queries, indicating that these broader phases can be a lucrative advertising segment for sponsored search campaigns. The results reported in this paper are important to researchers interested in understanding online consumers interaction with search engines and beneficial to search engine marketers striving to design successful advertising campaigns. Insights from this research could produce keyword advertising efforts being more effectively targeted to consumers in order to achieve campaign goals. Keywords: keyword advertising, pay-per-click, PPC, paid search advertising, search engine marketing ************************************************************************************************ The Power of Many: An Assessment of Managing Internet Group Purchasing Yujie Wei Department of Marketing& Real Estate, Richard College of Business, The University of West Georgia, 1601 Maple Street, Carrollton, GA, USA Detmar W. Straub Department of Computer Information Systems, J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University, 35 Broad Street, Atlanta, GA, USA Amit Poddar Department of Marketing, J. Whitney School of Business, Georgia College and State University, Milledgeville, GA, USA 19-43 ABSTRACT This article introduces Internet group purchasing (IGP) as a novel e-commerce phenomenon. Drawing on collective cognition and other relevant theories, we investigate the management of IGP by analyzing the four stages of IGP: (1) information accumulation, (2) interaction, (3) examination, and (4) accommodation. Netnographic methods were employed to collect qualitative data from eleven online group purchasing websites selected from hundreds of possible study websites. Analysis of the four stages of IGP lends support to the group-level cognition theory and makes contributions to collective cognition theory, especially as how it can be applied to the e-commerce context. It also situates group purchasing within the phenomenon of social networking marketing and discusses the symbiosis between IGP and businesses goals. Findings can help e-commerce practitioners to better understand online consumers and the manner in which they organize Internet group purchasing using social media. The research also provides managerial implications and directions for future research. Keywords: Internet group purchasing, social media, collective cognition theory, netnography and hermeneutics ********************************************************************************************* An Investigation of Willingness to Spend Dynamics in Simultaneous Online Auctions Mayukh Dass Rawls College of Business, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409, USA 44-60 ABSTRACT Willingness to spend (WTS), as defined by the amount a bidder is willing to spend in a particular auction event, is a crucial component for an auction?s success. This paper investigates the dynamics of WTS of a simultaneous online auction of a specific genre of fine art called modern Indian art and compare it with the dynamics of cumulative Willingness to pay (WTP), using an innovative statistical method called Functional Data Analysis. Functional Data Analysis, which is fundamentally considered to recover the underlying WTS and cumulative WTP function curves of each bidder, is further used to examine the effects of current number of bids, current number of lots winning, pre-auction low estimate of the lots they are currently winning, bid time, and number of proxy bids on WTS and cumulative WTP dynamics. Results suggest that only current number of bids and bid time have significant positive effect on the bidder WTS, whereas only current number of bids have influence on cumulative WTP. Implications for auction house managers are further discussed in the paper. Keywords: willingness to spend, functional data analysis, dynamic modeling, simultaneous online auctions, online fine art auctions ******************************************************************************************** Effects of Price Recommendations in Name-Your-Own-Price Auctions Kholekile L. Gwebu Department of Decision Sciences, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, University of New Hampshire, USA Jing Wang Department of Decision Sciences, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, University of New Hampshire, USA Andrew Wei Hao Department of Management and Marketing, Barney School of Business, University of Hartford, USA Michael Y. Hu Department of Marketing, College of Business, Kent State University, USA 61-77 ABSTRACT This article examines how price cues can be used strategically to influence consumers' perceptions and bid judgments in Name-Your-Own-Price (NYOP) auctions. It focuses on three specific types of price cues: a low and plausible price cue, a high but implausible price cue, and a range price cue that is bounded at the upper end by the high price cue and at the lower end by the low price cue. A controlled experiment indicates that consumers perceive the range and low price cue as more useful in aiding their bidding decisions than the high price cue. The range and low price cue positively impact bidders? confidence in winning while the high price cue reduces their confidence level. Interestingly, consumers? value and bid judgments? can be influenced by the high price cue even though they view it with skepticism. The low end of a range price cue is found to have a greater impact on consumers? perceptions and bid judgments than the high end, possibly because a range price cue has the potential to make loss aversion more pronounced. Keywords: NYOP auctions, price recommendations, bidder perceptions ****************************************************************************************** Determinants of E-Commerce Customer Satisfaction, Trust, and Loyalty in Saudi Arabia Mustafa I. Eid Department of Accounting& MIS, College of Industrial Management, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, P. O. Box 5076, Dhahran 31261 Saudi Arabia 78-93 ABSTRACT Managing customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty attitudes of e-commerce services is very important for the long-term growth of many businesses. Previous research has shown that e-retailers experience difficulty maintaining customer loyalty despite the recent rapid growth in Business to Customer (B2C) e-commerce applications. Numerous studies have empirically examined B2C e-commerce customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty attitudes in various countries. Nevertheless, empirical research on these key constructs of e-commerce in developing Arab countries is generally limited. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to identify the factors that influence the extent to which Saudi consumers trust, are satisfied with, and are loyal towards B2C e-commerce. This study draws on previous research to build a conceptual framework which hypothesizes relationships between these three e-commerce constructs and their antecedents. A survey was conducted among B2C e-commerce customers in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia using a structured self-administered questionnaire. The findings of this study show that B2C e-commerce customer loyalty in Saudi Arabia is strongly influenced by customer satisfaction but weakly influenced by customer trust. The study limitations, implications, along with directions for further research are discussed. Keywords: B2C e-commerce, e-retailer, customer trust, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty ******************************************************************************************* Culture and Localization on the Web: Evidence from Multinationals in Russia and Turkey Serkan Yalcin Boeing Institute of International Business, John Cook School of Business, Saint Louis University, 3674 Lindell Bldv, St. Louis, MO 63108, USA Nitish Singh Boeing Institute of International Business, John Cook School of Business, Saint Louis University, 3674 Lindell Bldv, St. Louis, MO 63108, USA Yogesh K.

More specifically, the study explores the depiction of cultural values on the web. With limited research investigating this issue, there is no consensus yet regarding whether multinationals depict local cultural values in their international web sites or design standardized sites for global audiences. In an attempt to broaden the empirical evidence from different cultural settings (Russia and Turkey) and to provide a regional perspective, we examined through both qualitative and quantitative analyses the international (Russian and Turkish) web sites of 115 multinationals from the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with respect to 37 cultural values in seven cultural dimensions. The results provided support for depiction of local cultural values; however, the multinationals utilize a multi-focus in their web communication strategies that include cultural (domestic and foreign) and marketing strategy elements. Keywords: Standardization, localization, cultural depiction, the Web, international marketing communication strategy ****************************************************************************************** Dr. Melody Kiang Co-Editors in Chief, Journal of Electronic Commerce Research Professor, Information Systems Department College of Business Administration California State University at Long Beach Long Beach, CA 90840 Tel: 562-985-8944 Fax: 562-985-5478 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
