-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Ph.D Symposium 9th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2011) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 04:12:13 +0200 From: unlandr(a)cs.uni-due.de To: undisclosed-recipients:; ICSOC 2011 PhD Symposium The 9th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2011) 5-8 December 2011, Paphos, Cyprus http://www.icsoc.org ***AIM AND TARGET AUDIENCE*** The ICSOC PhD Symposium 2011 is an international forum for PhD students working in all the areas addressed by the ICSOC conference (http://www.icsoc.org). The goals of the ICSOC PhD Symposium are: - To bring together PhD students and established researchers in the field of service oriented computing. - To enable PhD students to interact with other PhD students and to stimulate an exchange of ideas, suggestions, and experiences among participants. - To give PhD students the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive and critical atmosphere. - To provide students with fruitful feedback and advice on their research approach and thesis. We particularly encourage students that are still developing their research methodology or are somewhere in the middle of their research program to submit to this symposium. Only active PhD students are eligible to submit, and topics are restricted to their doctoral work within the scope of the ICSOC conference. The symposium in Paphos, Cyprus will be the 7th PhD Symposium of the series held in conjunction with the ICSOC conferences in San Francisco, USA (2010), Stockholm, Sweden (2009), Sydney, Australia (2008), Vienna, Austria (2007), Chicago, USA (2006), and Amsterdam, the Netherlands (2005). ***SUBMISSION FORMAT AND PROCEEDINGS*** Submitted papers should give a clear description of the PhD work being conducted by the author of the paper. In particular, papers must: - Provide a clear problem statement. - Outline the research challenges that drive the proposed work. - Describe the proposed solution, its expected impact, the expected research plan, and ? if available ? preliminary results. - Discuss the progress beyond the state of the art of the envisioned research outcome compared to current literature and approaches (cite key papers). Each paper must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and must be at most 6 pages in length (strictly enforced). Submissions must be single-author, and the name of the supervisor(s) must be clearly marked ("supervised by ...") under the author?s name. Papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the PhD Symposium track in the ICSOC submission system. Accepted papers will be included in the ICSOC 2011 post-conference proceedings of satellite events, to be published by Springer as part of the Service Science series. ***REVIEW PROCESS AND FORMAT OF THE SYMPOSIUM*** Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the PhD Symposium Program Committee. The main evaluation criteria are: relevance to service-oriented computing, potential for impact, quality of proposed research. The selection of papers will be based on these criteria. In order to stimulate the discussion during the symposium, (i) reviewers will be asked to provide one paragraph description of what solution they think suits the described problem and how they would approach the research (in addition to the review); (ii) students accepted for participation will be asked to write their own reviews of two/three other accepted papers. As a feedback on their reviews, students will be granted access to the respective reviews by the Program Committee. The symposium will operate in a workshop format, giving PhD students the opportunity to showcase their research and to assess the solutions proposed by the Program Committee. ***IMPORTANT DATES*** Jul 01, 2011: Paper submission Jul 30, 2011: Author notification Aug 15, 2011: Camera-ready submission ***PHD SYMPOSIUM CHAIRS*** Michael Sheng, University of Adelaide, Australia Cesare Pautasso, University of Lugano, Switzerland Sonia Ben Mokhtar, LIRIS, CNRS, France ***PROGRAMME COMMITTEE*** (To be confirmed) Gustavo Alonso, ETHZ, Switzerland Boualem Benatallah, University of New South Wales, Australia Djamal Benslimane, University of Lyon, France Walter Binder, University of Lugano, Switzerland Athman Bouguettaya, CSIRO ICT Centre, Australia Mauro Caporuscio, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Florian Daniel, University of Trento, Italy Marlon Dumas, University of Tartu, Estonia Nikolaos Georgantas, INRIA Paris, France Mohand-Said Hacid, LIRIS, France Xitong Li, MIT, USA Kwei-Jay Lin, University of California, Irvine, USA Pascal Poizat, University of Evry Val d'Essonne, France David Rosenblum, University College London, UK Aviv Segev, KAIST, Korea Stefan Tai, KIT, Germany Jian Yu, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia ***CONTACT INFORMATION*** If you have any inquiries, please contact the PhD Symposium chairs at: ps [at] icsoc.org -- 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

Content ------- The relevance of software directly involved in business interactions has enormously grown in modern commerce within the last years. Therefore, it is an obvious requirement that business software which supports business interactions should mirror the orientation of entrepreneurial acting along the business interactions in the simplest possible way. To become runtime relevant from an application perspective, the interpretation of the descriptions of business interactions has to be unambiguously related to computational systems. We expect a promising impetus with respect to the automated implementation of business interactions. Especially small and medium enterprises should benefit as they are currently discouraged to explore this area by the still high initial investments. The starting point of this workshop is the assumption that economics with its game theory based notion describes the same interactions as computer science does with its descriptions of nondeterministic interactions of business processes. Due to the tight formal relation between (economic) game and (computer science) protocol, it is obvious to use the protocol notion not just for informal illustrations, as many contemporary approaches do, but also to view protocol theory as a sound formal base for the description of business interactions in the sense of a theory for consistent finite interaction of (possibly finite) systems. Adressees --------- This workshop brings together scientist of the field of business informatics with a special interest in business interactions and scientist of the more theoretical oriented field of protocol theory. We therefore invite scientific contributions which demonstrate the relevance of protocol theory for the formal description of nondeterministic business interactions either in practical or theoretical respect, if applicable with a relation to game theory. Organisation ------------ Duration: 1 day For participation at the workshop, registration at http://www.informatik2011.de is required. Important Dates 24.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] SH-PAIS 2011 - Call for Papers Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 20:30:29 +0200 From: Juergen Mangler <juergen.mangler(a)univie.ac.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Self Healing Process Aware Information Systems (SH-PAIS) in conjunction with ADBIS 2011 conference Submission Deadline: April 16th 2011 Workshop Page: http://www.univie.ac.at/sh-pais Date& Location: Sept.19-24th 2011, Vienna, Austria In order to stay competitive, today's enterprises more and more depend on the ability to react to changed economic environments, regulations and fast emerging new ideas. In order to stay successful it is necessary to adopt these changes fast. With the advent of cloud computing, and SOA's in general, enterprises gained access to powerful tools to realize the demanded flexibility and scalability on a pay per use basis. However the integration of cloud functionality into business processes remains still a tedious task. While there has been progress in distinct areas like Semantic Service Selection (OWL-S), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Process Evolution and inter-organizational business processes, a coherent approach to assess and implement ad-hoc changes is yet a vision. We refer to self-healing as a combination of monitoring, situation evaluation, and repair capabilities that, under the premise of privacy in inter-organizational business processes, allows companies to react to QoS and SLA violations at runtime. Self-healing business processes are to withstand performance bottlenecks and failure without human interaction, yet still deliver correct results. In order to meet its business objectives, enterprises should not rely on only a single infrastructure provider, but instead be able to effortless replace them, in order to meet the current requirements of its partners and customers. The SH-PAIS workshop's goal is to bring together practitioners and researchers from different communities such as BPM, service-oriented computing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (semantic annotations and reasoning). The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research and sharing practical experiences. Submitted papers will be evaluated by at least three program committee members on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. The accepted papers will published in the LNCS series of Springer Verlag. Outstanding papers from the workshop may be invited for publication in an internationally recognized journal (subject to additional reviewing). Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. The workshop will also provide opportunity for participants to present advanced prototypes based on their research. Workshop topics include: * process interoperability, * process lifecycle management, * process monitoring, * process security and conformance, * process matching and similarity of processes, * cross-organizational collaborative processes, * process choreographies, * evolving choreographies, * transactional models for choreography interactions, * agile management of business processes, * dynamic composition of processes, * semantic annotations, * semantic matchmaking, * business compliance rule verification, * QoS and service level agreements, * SLA negotiation and re-negotiation. Submitted papers should be related to these topics in terms of: * architectures, * middleware, * methods and tools, * semantics. Submission& Dates ================== Papers must be written in English. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted elsewhere, and references to related state-of-the-art work. Authors of accepted papers must present the paper at SH-PAIS 2011 in order have the paper included in the post-conference proceedings. Papers must follow the Springer LNCS (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs) format and can contain up to 14 pages (including figures, tables and references). Papers should include a title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more than eight keywords. * April 16th, 2011: Submission of papers * May 24th, 2011: Notification of acceptance * June 24th, 2011: Camera-ready papers * Sept.19-24th, 2011: Workshop and ADBIS Conference Submission details will we provided through the workshop homepage: «http://www.univie.ac.at/sh-pais» Conference Venue ================ The SH-PAIS workshop will be held in conjunction with the ADBIS 2011 at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) Vienna, Austria.

As a matter of fact, we tend to gather more and more information in our inboxes: personal and professional communications, but also marketing and commercial ads, alerts and notifications from websites or social networks, search engines results, agendas, ... The current use also tends to widen: e-mail is not only used to fulfill inter-personal communication but also to exchange files, to gather RSS feeds or to pick up a date for a meeting. Many people rely on their inboxes to retrieve important information and to organize their daily work. Do electronic messaging systems offer new solutions to answer these existing and future usages of e-mail? What will be the trends in e-mail software? E-mail solutions nowadays don't present huge differences with early ones : a 3-pane interface displaying email folders, a list of messages in chronological order and the content of the message currently selected.. Gmail was quite revolutionary with its new UI (thread list and thread view) and is considered as the major innovation lately. Social networks (Facebook) and broadcast medium (Twitter) enable to reach a broader audience while reducing unsolicited messages. Given this context, what will be the next innovations in e-mail software: Unified messaging system? Integration of tasks manager and agenda? Is e-mail really collaborative? And does e-mail solutions allow collaboration through e-mail? Can we (should we) share contacts, threads, encourage content sharing instead of exchanging files with e-mail? WORKSHOP GOALS This workshop aims at gathering the most relevant scientific and technical contributions, in order to enlighten the current key research on emails and to unveil some of the main upcoming trends. Scientific contributions either from core e-mail research or external fields are sought for, such as (but not limited to): IA (intelligent agents), NLP (email linguistic analysis), SNA (social network analysis), psychology (group interaction, graph communication analysis, ...), linguistic (stylistic changes from letter-writing to instant messaging jargon), human-computer interaction (user experience, design guidelines). As well as technical issues, efficient and emerging best practices based upon real life scenarii, user experience, security issues, legal archiving, new protocols may also be of interest. TOPICS Topics include but are not limited to: - Email content analysis, information extraction, summarization - Email social networks in enterprise - Email management strategies within organizations - Adaptative email agents and semantic agents - Emails archives exploration, visualization, regulations and behaviors - Email visual interfaces and human/computer interaction with emails -Case studies, experiments and user studies on emails usages - Benchmark and email testing datasets - Interoperability over email with enterprise resources and legacy systems - Semantic email and email mining - Unified messaging and web interactions : instant messaging, RSS feeds, annotations, tagging - Personal information management integration in email clients, pending task management - Interaction between email , PIM and the mobility factor - Facing the volume growth, do we need to replace the old protocols? - Evolution of infrastructures and uses SUBMISSION All papers accepted for the NextMail'11 workshop will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Proceedings will be available at the workshop. Selected papers (after their expansion and revision) may be selected for book or special journal issues (editors contact pending).

Applied to ontology engineering, modularity is central not only to reduce the complexity of understanding ontologies, but also to facilitate ontology maintenance and ontology reasoning. Recent research on ontology modularity shows substantial progress in foundations of modularity, techniques of modularization and modular development, distributed reasoning and empirical evaluation. These results provide a foundation for ongoing multi-disciplinary research and development. The workshop follows a series of successful events that have been an excellent venue for practitioners and researchers to discuss latest work and current problems, and is this time organised as a satellite workshop of ESSLLI 2011 (week 2, see http://esslli2011.ijs.si/?p=306 ), following an introductory ESSLLI course on notions of modularity in ontologies (week 1, see http://esslli2011.ijs.si/?p=310 ). TOPICS include, but are not limited to: - What is Modularity: Kinds of modules and their properties; modules vs. contexts; design patterns; granularity of representation; - Logical/Foundational Studies: Conservativity and syntactic approximations for modules; modular ontology languages; reconciling inconsistencies across modules; formal structuring of modules; networks of ontologies; heterogeneity; - Algorithmic Approaches: distributed reasoning; modularization and module extraction; (selective) sharing and re-using, linking and importing; hiding and privacy; evaluation of modularization approaches; complexity of reasoning; reasoners or implemented systems; - Applications: Semantic Web; life sciences; bio-ontologies; natural language processing; ontologies of space and time; ambient intelligence; collaborative ontology development; etc. The workshop is open to all members of the ESSLLI community. Workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School; however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be determined by the Local Organizers. Participants can attend any other ESSLLI courses and workshops of their choice.

Business Process Management techniques (BPM) are used to deal with these complex processes. Such techniques support the activities of capture, execution, control, analysis and improvement of business processes, possibly with the support provided by process-oriented enterprise information systems. The *Business Process Management Track* at CONFENIS is a forum dedicated to the presentation and discussion of techniques, methodologies, models and frameworks for BPM within environments, where business processes cross organizational boundaries and enable the integration of organizations, individuals, systems and services. Topics of interest (but not limited to): - BPM Methodologies - Business processes and Information systems - Inter-organizational processes management - Business processes, distributed and mobile - Business processes and services - BPM and Service-oriented architectures - Repositories of business processes and services - Web services for managing business processes - Ontologies for business processes - Modeling and semantics of business processes - Rules and processes in declarative and imperative specification - Implementation of business processes and business process management systems - Monitoring of business processes - Analysis of Business Processes (e.g., performance, etc.) - Transactions in business processes - Security aspects in business processes - Process management in computational grids - Cloud Computing to support the management processes - Knowledge Discovery in business processes - Requirements engineering and business processes - Quality of service and business processes - Reports of projects / experiences in the industry - Reuse in process management - Process Management focused on sustainability - Process management in healthcare and e-government - Process management for scientific applications *Important Dates * Paper Submission: 01/06/2011 Submission of camera-ready paper: 01/09/2011 Conference: 16-18/10/2011 *Track Chairs * Flávia Maria Santoro -- Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro -- Brazil Maria-Eugenia Iacob - University of Twente - The Netherlands Fifth International Conference on Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems CONFENIS 2011 .

There has been a growing appreciation in recent years of the need to afford the topic of ethics and social responsibility a prominent place within the educational curriculum. In the era of globalization, the responsible stewardship and governance of business, government and society impacts the lives of everyone. Information systems are now ubiquitous and pervasive, often delivering benefits but also potentially or actually having detrimental impacts, thus presenting challenges and dilemmas as regards ethics and social responsibility. It is imperative that Information Systems students gain a critical appreciation of social, political, technological, environmental and global issues as a fundamental learning outcome of their college education. Contemporary issues of importance include privacy and data protection, social inclusion and the digital divide, lifelong learning, equal opportunities, gender issues, sustainable computing and ³green IT², globalization, mobility, usability and accessibility, social media, Internet propaganda and censorship, digital media rights and controls, public advocacy and activism, and IS education in developing countries. For this special issue of JISE on Ethics& Social Responsibility in IS Education, we invite the submission of high-quality, innovative, insightful articles. Topics include but are not limited to: ? Integrating ethics and social responsibility issues into the IS education curriculum. ? Preparing IS graduates as responsible citizens within society and the professional workplace. ? Service learning and civic engagement in IS education. ? Social inclusion, classroom diversity, and the digital divide in IS education. ? Theories of ethics and social responsibility within IS education. ? Philosophical issues of ethics and social responsibility within IS education. ? Approaches for teaching ethics and social responsibility within IS education. ? Ethical and socially responsible considerations in researching IS education. ? Cultural aspects of ethics and social responsibility in IS education. ? Globalization within IS education. ? Impacts and consequences of IS ethical and social issues impacting IS education in countries around the world ? Privacy and civil liberties issues within IS education. ? Absenteeism issues within IS education e.g. monitoring practices, student motivation and responsibility, etc. ? Ethical issues with the use of social networking, virtual communities and e-learning technologies in IS education. ? Human rights issues in IS education. ? Standards of acceptable behaviour and conduct in IS education. ? Academic honesty within the discipline of Information Systems. ? Intellectual property and digital media rights within IS education. Timeline: Initial submissions due: June 15, 2011 Notification to authors: September 15, 2011 Revised papers due: November 1 Publication of the issue: December 2011 Submission Guidelines: Papers for this special issue are due on June 15, 2011. Prospective authors are welcome to submit an abstract to the Guest Editors for preliminary feedback on the appropriateness of their planned manuscript. Please send your submission in Microsoft Word format by email to Michael.Lang(a)nuigalway.ie with a copy to harrisal(a)appstate.edu and dyates(a)umd.edu. You must ensure that all personal details are removed from the document and its meta-data before submission. Papers must not exceed 7000 words including all sections, figures, tables and references. All papers will be blind peer reviewed and are subject to editing for journal style, clarity, organization, and space. Shorter teaching cases and experience reports (between 2000 and 3000 words) are also welcome. In the event that some papers submitted to this special issue are accepted for publication but cannot be accommodated within the special issue, those articles will be published within regular future issues.
