Fwd: [WI] CFP - Workshop on Empirical Research in Business Process Management (ER-BPM 2011)
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP - Workshop on Empirical Research in Business Process Management (ER-BPM 2011) Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 22:33:29 +1000 From: Jan Recker <j.recker(a)qut.edu.au> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers 2nd Int’l. Workshop on Empirical Research in Business Process Management (ER-BPM 2011) in conjunction with 9th Int'l. Conf. on Business Process Management (BPM 2011) in Clermont-Ferrand, France I. Workshop Theme and Goals: Providing effective IT support for business processes has become crucial for enterprises to stay competitive in their market. In response to this need numerous process support paradigms (e.g., workflow management, service flow management, case handling), process specification standards (e.g., WS-BPEL, BPML, BPMN), process tools (e.g., ARIS Toolset, Tibco Staffware, FLOWer) and supporting methods have emerged in recent years. Summarized under the term “Business Process Management” (BPM), these paradigms, standards, tools, and methods have become a success-critical instrument for improving process performance. Research in the area of BPM has traditionally focused on the development and extension of associated tools, methods, standards and technologies. However, when evaluating the suitability of existing BPM technology for a particular project, it is important for practitioners and academics alike to have an informed opinion about their qualities and deficiencies. In particular, the demand for insights or evaluations of BPM technology based on empirical research has only recently gained prominence in the community. This is surprising as the benefits of empirical research have been demonstrated in areas like software engineering (e.g., in the context of software development processes or code reviews), information systems, or, indeed, business for a long time. In fact, from the introduction of empirical research methods such as experimental or case study methods into BPM (as well as into the development of process-aware information systems), we expect more valid, quantitative or qualitative data on the various aspects and effects of BPM technology. This becomes important, not only for IT professionals, but also for researchers dealing with analytical, theoretical or technical challenges in the field of BPM. Our ER-BPMâ€™11 workshop addresses this demand and seeks to stimulate empirical research that, in turn, can contribute to a better understanding of the problems, challenges and existing solutions in the BPM field. In particular, the proposed workshop shall provide an interdisciplinary forum for both researchers and practitioners to improve the understanding of BPM-specific requirements, methods and theories, tools and techniques. Therefore, the ER- BPMâ€™11 workshop will deal with different facets of applying and using BPM methods and technologies; and it will give new insights into the challenges, applications, and perspectives emerging for BPM technology.

Über Einreichungen aus der deutschsprachigen Community würden wir uns sehr freuen! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jan vom Brocke - 45th HICSS2012 / BPM Track http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_45/45os.htm#os4 Call for Papers: BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (BPM) [A Minitrack of Organizational Systems and Technology] Submission date: June 15th 2011 BPM has emerged as an important field in systems science, and in particular in information systems. With its roots in a number of well known approaches such as workflow management, business process reengineering, total quality management, BPM to date stands for an integrated management approach. As such BPM seeks to develop organizational capabilities facilitating excellence and innovation in business addressing a wide range of applications. The latest research has elicited a wide range of capability areas relevant for BPM, in particular business-related areas, such as strategic alignment and governance as well as the human-related areas such as people and culture. Not limited to well-defined and structured processes, BPM can contribute to a number of contemporary challenges in traditional and creative business environments as well as in different types of organizations including commercial, Cooperatives, non-for-profit and virtual organizations. The BPM Minitrack at HICSS aims to promote and further establish BPM as an integrated management discipline. While early academic research on BPM was skewed towards the technological and formal aspects of BPM, we particularly encourage papers that deal with the business challenges and opportunities of BPM over its entire life cycle from consideration and adoption to implementation, and on-going improvement at all levels (strategic, operational, tactical). We invite rigorous and relevant contributions from a wide variety of research methods addressing topics such as those mentioned below. Selected papers will be recommended for fast track to prestigious BPM-related journals. With 2012 being declared as the International Year of Cooperatives by the United Nations, this Minitrack aims to open a brand new research direction focusing on BPM-related issues in these important organisations, that up to now have been virtually unexplored by the international BPM community. Topics might include: BPM Capability Areas . Strategic Alignment, including Process Performance Measurement, Business Value of BPM systems and initiatives . Governance, including models for Process Governance and Process Management Governance, such as BPM Centers of Excellence . Methods, including modeling methods for different fields of application, Six Sigma . Information Systems, including Workflow Management Systems, Workgroup Systems .

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: Journal Parallel and Distributed Computing, Elsevier Special Issue on HP Distributed Data Mining Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:14:52 +0100 From: Alfredo Cuzzocrea <cuzzocrea(a)si.deis.unical.it> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Call for Papers --------------- Journal Parallel and Distributed Computing (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jpdc/), Elsevier (http://www.elsevier.com), Special Issue on "Models and Algorithms for High-Performance Distributed Data Mining" (http://si.deis.unical.it/cuzzocrea/JPDC2011/). Chair ----- Alfredo Cuzzocrea (http://si.deis.unical.it/cuzzocrea/), ICAR-CNR and University of Calabria, Italy Aim and Scope ------------- Distributed Data Mining is well-understood as a resource-intensive and time-consuming task which is devoted to extract patterns and regularities from huge amounts of distributed data sets. Classical algorithms, mostly developed in the context of centralized environments, have already been proved to be unsuitable to the goal of mining data in distributed settings. This not only due to conceptual and methodological drawbacks but, most importantly, to novel challenges posed by a distributed, resource-intensive, and time-consuming processing as dictated by high-level specifications of distributed Data Mining algorithms. > From these challenges, performance aspects of Distributed Data Mining is now recognized as one of the most attracting topics for the Data Mining research community, even with respect to next-generation computational platforms (e.g., Clouds, Grids, SOA Architectures) and paradigms (e.g., Peer-to-Peer, Map-Reduce, Service-Oriented Computing). Emerging application scenarios like Social Networks play as well the role of interesting contexts that may stimulate further investigation in this field. In Distributed Data Mining models and algorithms, high-performance is not only an architecture-and-resource--oriented matter, but also it involves in designing innovative models, algorithms and techniques capable of dealing, from a side, with the difficulties posed by so-challenging distributed environments and, from the other side, with the conceptual Data Mining tasks codified within Distributed Data Mining algorithms, which may turn to be inherently hard. With these goals in mind, the special issue "Models and Algorithms for High-Performance Distributed Data Mining" of JPDC will cover theoretical as well as practical aspects of high-performance Data Mining in distribute environments, with emphasis on both sophisticated theoretical-models-and-methodologies and pragmatic algorithms. Topics of interest for the special issue include but are not limited to the following list: - foundations of high-performance distributed data mining; - high-performance distributed data mining models; - high-performance distributed data mining methodologies; - high-performance distributed data mining techniques; - high-performance distributed data mining algorithms; - scalable disk-based models for high-performance distributed data mining; - scalable disk-based algorithms for high-performance distributed data mining; - multi-core models for high-performance distributed data mining; - multi-core algorithms for high-performance distributed data mining; - cluster-based models for high-performance distributed data mining; - cluster-based algorithms for high-performance distributed data mining; - grid-based models for high-performance distributed data mining; - grid-based algorithms for high-performance distributed data mining; - cloud-based models for high-performance distributed data mining; - cloud-based algorithms for high-performance distributed data mining; - SOA-based models for high-performance distributed data mining; - SOA-based algorithms for high-performance distributed data mining; - P2P-oriented high-performance distributed data mining; - Map-Reduce-based high-performance distributed data mining; - Service-oriented high-performance distributed data mining; - high-performance distributed data mining in innovative contexts like streams, sensors, mobile environments and social networks. Schedule -------- Submission of full papers: March 30, 2011 First decision notification: May 30, 2011 Submission of revised papers: July 15, 2011 Final decision notification: September 30, 2011 Final materials to Elsevier: November 30, 2011 Estimated publication date: 2012 Submission Guidelines and Instructions -------------------------------------- All manuscripts will be rigorously refereed by at least three reviewers among people of widely-recognized expertise. Submission of a manuscript to this special issue implies that no similar paper is already accepted or will be submitted to any other conference or journal. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at: www.elsevier.com/locate/jpdc/ All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ICEC 2011 2nd Call for Papers [August 2-5. 2011 Liverpool] Datum: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:23:59 +0000 Von: Terry R. Payne <T.R.Payne(a)liverpool.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [Apologies if you receive this more than once...] The Thirteenth International Conference on Electronic Commerce - ICEC 2011 =============================================================== 2-5th August 2011, Liverpool, UK http://www.icec11.org/ Over recent years, developments in the ubiquitous access to the internet (through mobile consumer devices, digital signage and an explosion of services) has led to a continued evolution in the way business is conducted. Advances in social networks have allowed more sophisticated mechanisms for connecting consumers and goods, whilst increases in wireless technologies have yielded benefits for the supply chain in general. The Internet offers unique opportunities for individuals, businesses and governments to seek new ways of providing novel services at substantially lower costs. The International Conference on Electronic Commerce (ICEC) annually brings together the leaders of the scientific research community in e-commerce and e-business from all over the world. Having travelled across the globe from Austria to Taiwan and Hawaii, the conference returns to Europe, to the historical trading and shipping city of Liverpool, England. As with previous years, the conference will feature: •invited keynote presentations •panels on topical issues on technology, business and public policy •refereed paper presentations on emerging and continuing research issues •workshops in several thematic tracks The theme of ICEC'11 is “Mobile and Pervasive Commerce”. The revolution in mobile devices, from smart phones that allow constant access to the network through evolving 3/4G networks, to tablets and eBook readers has changed the way people consume and exploit data. The notion of pricey, low volume software has been replaced with high volume, low priced, instant access apps that can be bought through an online App-store. Location-awareness and portability has driven a new demand for context-sensitive apps, and the explosion of entertainment and content delivery services has facilitated new models of commerce. This conference aims to facilitate the dialogues among experts in academic and industries to exchange insights in related issues, and hopefully boost up research momentum across disciplines to contribute to mobile and pervasive commerce for the e-commerce community. Important Dates =============== •Abstracts due: 4th April 2011, 23:59 (11:59pm) Hawaii time •Submissions due: 8th April 2011, 23:59 (11:59pm) Hawaii time •Notification: 20th May 2011 •Camera-ready: 2nd July 2011 •Conference: 2nd - 5th August 2011 Tracks and Topics of Interest ========================== The conference will be organized into several tracks, which focus on the latest developments and innovations in e-commerce in the following areas of interest: 1. Mobile Commerce: on-the-move payment systems and alternative interaction metaphors that facilitate context aware, geo-spatially relevant services to users in novel environments; 2. Pervasive Commerce Business Models: systems, principles and policies for supporting pervasive, often mobile trading; 3. Automated Trading: the use of Auctions, Game Theory and Mechanism Design to support electronic markets; 4. Agents and Multiagent Systems: autonomous, intelligent, decentralized systems, that support distributed trading systems; 5. Energy Trading: the role of e-commerce within Green Information Technology and Social Responsibility; 6. Recommender Systems, Social Networks / Ethics and Trust: mechanisms that utilise both Web-2.0 and trading data to advise and support consumer choice; 7.
