=============================================================================================================
Cloud computing represents a new paradigm where computing resources are being offered as services and accessed by others from anywhere in the world
via Internet. In this approach, the cloud is the single point of access to the computing needs of the cloud users. The cloud services are
characterized by being fully managed by the provider, being sold on demand, and being elastic as users can have as much of a service as they need in a
particular moment. This new approach provides important benefits such as cost reduction, higher device and location independence, higher reliability
and scalability, improved resource utilization, etc. However, there are several open issues that still need to be addressed such as the loss of
control over sensitive data, the definition of new management and integration models or the lack of standards.
This special issue of Information Sciences will present a set of articles that cover recent research results on cloud computing. In particular, it
aims to present highly technical papers describing novel cloud computing service and architecture models addressing any of the following specific
topics: security, privacy, and trust, mobile users support and mobile clouds, (self-) management, infrastructure-platform-application integration, and
federation of and internetworking between clouds.
This special issue is aimed at readers interested in recent and novel cloud computing models providing a solution to key open problems existing
nowadays at the service and architecture levels.

SENSEAPP 2011
SIXTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN
BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2011)
Bonn, Germany
4 - 7 October 2011
Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp
CALL FOR PAPERS
Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
Innovative sensor network applications
Participatory sensing
Middleware support for sensor networks
Programming and debugging sensor networks
Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
Experiences with new sensor hardware
Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
Experiences with communication protocols
Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments
Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
Configuration and installation support
Management of large-scale sensor networks
Interconnection between IP and sensor networks
Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

Von: Greg Madey <gmadey(a)nd.edu>
An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON OPEN SOURCE SYSTEMS (OSS'2011)
5-8 October 2011, Salvador, Brazil
8th April 2011, deadline for papers submission
http://ossconf.org
Over the past decade, the Open Source Software (OSS) phenomenon has
had a global impact on the way organisations and individuals create,
distribute, acquire and use software and software-based services. OSS
has challenged the conventional wisdom of the software engineering and
software business communities, has been instrumental for educators and
researchers, and has become an important aspect of e-government and
information society initiatives. OSS is a complex phenomenon and
requires a interdisciplinary understanding of its engineering,
technical, economic, legal and socio-cultural dynamics.
The goal of OSS 2011, the first to be held in South America, is to
provide an international forum where a diverse community of
professionals from academia, industry and public administration can
come together to share research findings and practical experiences.
The conference is also meant to provide information and education to
practitioners, identify directions for further research, and to be an
ongoing platform for technology transfer.
***The major OSS 2011 theme is Software Reliability. ***
Conference Topics
The conference will consist of research and industry papers
presentations, workshops, tutorials, panels, and project
demonstrations. The major OSS 2011 theme is Software Reliability.
Software reliability and trust in FLOSS is key concern that is
influencing the adoption, use and development of FLOSS since its
origins. How can the community of researchers and practitioners help
and shed some lights on this issue? Authors are invited to contribute
to the debate. In particular, authors are invited to submit papers and
proposals on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:
Software reliability of FLOSS
* Measuring software reliability
* Mining FLOSS repositories for software reliability
* FLOSS vs. proprietary software
* Qualitative analysis of software reliability
* Models of software reliability
* Estimating / Predicting software reliability
* Testing and inspecting FLOSS
* Tools for software reliability
FLOSS as innovation
* Adoption/ use / acceptance of FLOSS
* Dissemination / redistribution / licensing of FLOSS
* Open Science and Open Knowledge
* Adopting innovation in FLOSS projects

Dear Colleague,
We invite you to submit a paper to the 45th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) mini-track “Advances in Design Science Research for Information Systems”.
Below is a description of the mini-track as well as the call for papers for the HICSS conference. Please circulate this information to other researchers potentially interested in advancing design science research. Additional information about the conference can be found at the website below.
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_45/apahome45.htm
We hope to see you in Hawaii in January 2012!
Joseph Walls
George Widmeyer

*****************************************************************************
ADVANCES IN DESIGN SCIENCE FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a venue where design science researchers pursuing the development of design theories for information systems can share their work and interact with likeminded researchers. The concept of an information system design theory was first articulated almost two decades ago (Walls, et al 1992). Since that time many researchers have built on the concept to develop a variety of design theories (Walls, et al 2004). Research reported at the annual Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) conference proceedings since 2006 shows that work continues in this area (Gurzick and Lutters, 2009). Design theory papers have also been published in the ICIS Proceedings during the last few years (e.g., Sarnikar and Deokar, 2009). At HICSS-44 there were also several papers that followed this approach, for example (Zhang, et al, 2011) was in the knowledge management track. Finally, a JAIS paper by Jones and Gregor (2007) provided a perspective on IS design theory different from that of Walls, et al (1992).
We solicit excellent papers that will develop and expand on this research.

HICSS-45 CALL FOR PAPERS
Conference Site: Grand Wailea Maui
Dates: January 4-7, 2012 (Wednesday-Saturday)
HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society.
How to Submit a Paper: Follow Author Instructions to be posted January 2011 on the conference web site.
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_45/apahome45.htm
HICSS papers must contain original material. They may not have been previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process.
Abstracts are optional, but strongly recommended. You may contact the Minitrack Chair(s) for guidance or verification of content.
Submit a paper to only one Minitrack. If a paper is submitted to more than one minitrack either
paper may be rejected by either minitrack without consultation with author. If you are not sure of the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s)* for determination, and/or seek opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before submitting.
Do not author or co-author more than 5 papers. This means that an individual may be listed as author/co-author on no more than 5 submitted papers. Track Chairs must approve any names added after submission or acceptance.
Important 2011 Deadlines for Authors
June 15 Submit full manuscripts for review as instructed. The review is double-blind; therefore, this initial submission must be without author names.
Aug 15 Review System emails Acceptance Notices to authors. It is very important that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the conference. Therefore, all travel guarantees – including visa or fiscal/ funding procedures – should begin immediately. Make sure your server accepts the address from our review system https://precisionconference.com/~hicss.
Sept 15 Early Registration fee deadline. (Fees will increase on Sept 16 and Dec 16.) Add author names to paper, and submit Final Paper for Publication. At least one author of each paper should register by this date in order secure publication in the Proceedings.
Oct 15 Papers without at least one registered author will be deleted from the Proceedings and not scheduled for presentation; authors will be so notified by the Conference Office.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
All conference cancellation requests must be in writing. A fee will be charged for cancellation of registration after Oct 15, at which time the paper will be withdrawn from the Proceedings. There is no registration refund after Dec 15. Cancellations for accommodations must be handled directly with the hotel.
