Fwd: [AISWorld] JITTA Special Issue on BPM / 3rd CfP
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] JITTA Special Issue on BPM / 3rd CfP Datum: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:46:54 +0100 Von: vom Brocke Jan <jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Boundary-Spanning through Business Process Management (BPM) Special Issue of the Journal of Information Technology Theory and Application (JITTA) OBJECTIVES AND ASPIRATIONS The purpose of this special issue is to draw the attention of the Information Systems community to the emerging significant role of Business Process Management as a boundary-spanning and identity-defining discipline of IS research, bringing together management philosophies and process-aware information technology. Our objective is to provide a discussion forum for researchers who are interested in providing examples for the contemporary state of the art in BPM research, spanning design-oriented approaches as well as traditional empirical research approaches. A particular aim of this special issue is to push the discussion in contemporary BPM research beyond information technology and methods to also embrace aspects of strategic alignment, governance, people and culture. DESCRIPTION Business Process Management has become one of the most widely discussed approaches for information professionals. The potential of BPM particularly lies in the integration of advanced information technology with organizational and managerial methods to foster and leverage business innovation, operational excellence and intra- and inter-organizational collaboration. Business Process Management as an Information Systems discipline is characterized by a myriad of approaches towards the analysis, modeling, implementation, execution and management of information systems with an explicit process focus, ranging from those supported by groupware and project management products to those supported by workflow management systems and, more recently, business process management systems. However, Business Process Management also embraces further, widely undefined themes pertaining to the engineering and management of systems and organizations, particularly with respect to the areas of organizational culture, process-aware information systems, strategic alignment, and governance structures. The wide application areas and the impact of Business Process Management present an exciting opportunity for IS researchers to contribute to our knowledge in this area, be it through the design of innovative process-oriented artifacts or through theorizing about the application, appropriation and usage consequences of BPM artifacts in organizational practice. ABOUT THE JOURNAL JITTA is a peer-reviewed research journal that welcomes articles from a broad spectrum of research approaches. JITTA aims to publish articles with short publication cycle times, attract a portfolio of very exciting and high quality research contributions, and maintain highest quality standards. The journal welcomes research papers (research agenda papers, interpretive or exploratory papers, speculative research, state-of-research reviews, or full research papers), research essays, and application papers (normative papers or case studies). http://aisel.aisnet.org/jitta/ TOPICS We invite rigorous and relevant contributions from a wide variety of research methods. Interpretive and positivistic research approaches as well as Design Science Research are welcomed, and theory building is encouraged regardless of the chosen research methodology. Topics of interest pertaining to Business Process Management may include but are not limited to the following: - Strategic alignment of BPM (e.g., value-based process management) - BPM Governance (e.g., BPM center of competence) - Methods for BPM (e.g., Six Sigma, procedure models, methodologies, process modeling) - Process-aware Information Systems (e.g., workflow management and eBusiness standards) - Engagement and Education of Process Practitioners (e.g., educational programs, curriculum design) - Cultural Impacts of/on BPM (e.g., in global roll-out projects) - Adoption and Diffusion of BPM and Process standards - Open-source Systems for BPM - BPM and Service-Orientation - Business Process Intelligence - Business Process Forensics and Performance Management - New enabling technologies for BPM (e.g., cloud computing, Mobile technologies) - End user and community enablement of BPM IMPORTANT DATES - Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2011 - Initial Review Round Completed: July 31, 2011 - Revisions Due (where applicable): October 1, 2011 - Final Acceptance Decisions: December 31, 2011 - Special Issue Published: March 1, 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE EDITORS Jan vom Brocke, University of Liechtenstein; jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li; Alexander Dreiling, SAP Research; alexander.dreiling(a)sap.com; Jan Mendling, Humboldt-University Berlin; jan.mendling(a)wiwi.hu-berlin.de; Jan Recker, Queensland University of Technology; j.recker(a)qut.edu.au Contact: jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal ##################################################################################### _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems 2011 - Human Behavior and IT Track Datum: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:45:49 +0000 Von: Marios Koufaris <Marios.Koufaris(a)baruch.cuny.edu> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 6^th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems IS: Crossroads of Technology, People, Organizations and Markets Limassol, Cyprus - September 3-5, 2011 Track: Human Behavior and IT *Track Chairs:* ·Ioanna Constantiou, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, ic.inf(a)cbs.dk <mailto:ic.inf@cbs.dk> ·Khaled Hassanein, McMaster University, Canada, hassank(a)mcmaster.ca <mailto:hassank@mcmaster.ca> ·Marios Koufaris, Baruch College, CUNY, USA, marios.koufaris(a)baruch.cuny.edu <mailto:marios.koufaris@baruch.cuny.edu> Information Technology (IT) and human behavior have been intertwined from the early days of computing. Beginning with the operators of "electronic accounting machines" to today's "always plugged-in" users, humans and IT have been shaping each other in a variety of ways. In today's user-driven environments, human behavior, in the form of IT use and appropriation, has determined how certain technologies have changed. For instance, Twitter has evolved in its current form through the way its early users appropriated it to suit their particular needs. On the other hand, IT has been influencing human behavior at an accelerating pace, as it becomes ubiquitous, mobile, and pervasive. For example, the digitization of information products, like music and movies, and their availability through on-demand services have dramatically changed the way we consume and share those products. This track welcomes papers that examine the relationship between human behavior and IT from all angles and reference disciplines. Such papers may address issues such as human behavior surrounding the use or creation of IT in the workplace, the impact of certain technologies on our daily conduct in non-work environments, or any other context where human actions and IT meet. While we expect that most studies will be at the level of analysis of the user, we also welcome papers on studies that examine human behavior at higher, more aggregate levels. Papers that subscribe to inter-disciplinary perspectives, adopt mixed methods and/or address the Mediterranean context are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ·Computer-mediated communication ·Virtual communities and virtual teams ·User acceptance, adoption, and use of IS/IT ·User behavior in social networks ·User behavior and social/cultural factors in IS/IT ·User behavior in electronic and mobile commerce ·User experience and human behavior in IS/IT ·Human information seeking behavior ·NeuroIS applications in HCI ·Trust issues in IS/IT use ·Understanding the IS/IT user experience of older adults ·Training and learningissues in IS/IT adoption and use ·Utilitarian and hedonic factors in IS/IT adoption and use *Conference Submissions* Articles should be *submitted electronically* as *PDF* files via the EasyChair submission system at: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=mcis2011 When submitting, authors should indicate the track for which they wish their paper to be considered.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CfP 6th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC'11) Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:43:19 +0100 From: VHPC 11 <vhpc.dist(a)gmail.com> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> CfP 6th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC'11) Apologies if you received multiple copies of this message. ================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS 6th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing VHPC'11 as part of Euro-Par 2011, Bordeaux, France ================================================================= Date: August 30, 2011 Euro-Par 2011: http://europar2011.bordeaux.inria.fr/ Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Abstracts: May 2, 2011 Full Paper: June 13, 2011 Scope: Virtualization has become a common abstraction layer in modern data centers, enabling resource owners to manage complex infrastructure independently of their applications. Conjointly virtualization is becoming a driving technology for a manifold of industry grade IT services. The cloud concept includes the notion of a separation between resource owners and users, adding services such as hosted application frameworks and queuing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds carry significant potential for use in high-performance scientific computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases of vast computing resource dynamically and close to the marginal cost of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Distributed computing concepts that leverage federated resource access are popular within the grid community, but have not seen previously desired deployed levels so far. Also, many of the scientific datacenters have not adopted virtualization or cloud concepts yet. This workshop aims to bring together industrial providers with the scientific community in order to foster discussion, collaboration and mutual exchange of knowledge and experience. The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. It concludes with a 30 min panel discussion by presenters. TOPICS Topics include, but are not limited to, the following subjects: - Virtualization in cloud, cluster and grid environments - VM-based cloud performance modeling - Workload characterizations for VM-based environments - Software as a Service (SaaS) - Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance, and security - Cloud, cluster and grid filesystems - QoS and and service levels - Cross-layer VM optimizations - Virtualized I/O and storage - Virtualization and HPC architectures including NUMA - System and process/bytecode VM convergence - Paravirtualized driver development - Research and education use cases - VM cloud, cluster distribution algorithms - MPI on virtual machines and clouds - Cloud frameworks and API sets - Checkpointing of large compute jobs - Cloud load balancing - Accelerator virtualization - Instrumentation interfaces and languages - Hardware support for virtualization - High-performance network virtualization - Auto-tuning of VMM and VM parameters - High-speed interconnects - Hypervisor extensions and tools for cluster and grid computing - VMMs/Hypervisors - Cloud use cases including optimizations - Performance modeling - Fault tolerant VM environments - VMM performance tuning on various load types - Cloud provisioning - Virtual machine monitor platforms - Pass-through VM device access - Management, deployment of VM-based environments PAPER SUBMISSION Papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee and external reviewers.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ECOWS'11 - 2nd Call for Papers Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:50:10 +0100 (CET) From: zavattar(a)cs.unibo.it (Gianluigi Zavattaro) To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ================================================================ ECOWS 2011: The 9th European Conference on Web Services September 14-16, 2011 Lugano, Switzerland http://ecows2011.inf.usi.ch ---------------------------------------------------------------- *CALL FOR RESEARCH, INDUSTRY, AND PHD SYMPOSIUM PAPERS* Abstract submission: April 11, 2011 Paper submission: April 15, 2011 *CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS* Workshop proposal submission: Friday, April 1, 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------- **NEWS** ---------------- Invited speakers ---------------- The ECOWS program will include invited lectures given by the following speakers: * Wil van der Aalst, Technische Univ. Eindhoven, The Netherlands * Stephan Murer, Credit Suisse AG, Switzerland * Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy --------------------- Journal special Issue --------------------- Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the Springer Journal on Service Oriented Computing and Applications. -------- Sponsors -------- IEEE has officially approved the sponsorship of ECOWS 2011 and the conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press as in previous years. ================================================================ The European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS) is the premier conference on the advances in the state of the art and practice of Web services. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. The ECOWS 2011 conference will include invited speakers, presentations of contributed research papers and an industrial track with the participation of top researchers from industry. ECOWS 2011 will also include a PhD symposium and satellite workshops. ---------- Background ---------- The success encountered by the Web has shown that tightly coupled software systems are only good for niche markets, whereas loosely coupled software systems can be more flexible, more adaptive and often more appropriate in practice. Loose coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with other systems, possibly legacy systems that share very little with it. Web services are at the crossing of distributed computing and loosely coupled systems. When applications are developed with service-oriented architectures, they can evolve more easily during their lifespan and adapt better to changing or even unpredictable environments. Services today can be implemented such that they are discovered and invoked dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms. Such services are developed and deployed in a black-box manner. This is of particular importance from a business perspective since services are implemented in a variety of technologies. Essential is agreement on integration technology and consensus has emerged in today's middleware market: Customers want to use Web technologies. Despite these promises, however, service integrators, developers, and providers need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective development and use of dependable services and service-oriented applications. ------------------ Topics of interest ------------------ The ECOWS 2011 program committee seeks original, high quality papers related to all aspects of Web Services, which constitute the main technology available to date for implementing service-oriented architectures and computing. Topics of interest to the Research and Industry Tracks include, but are not limited to, the following: - Business Process Management and Web Services - Cloud Services Management and Composition using Web Services - Dynamic and Adaptive Web Services - Economics Models and Web Services - Enterprise Architecture and Web Services - Emerging Trends of Service Composition and Mashups - Experience reports of novel applications of Web Services in Health, Commerce, Finance, Telecom, Scientific Computing and other domains - Service modeling, service-oriented analysis and design - Formal Methods for Web Services - Frameworks for Building Web Service-Based Applications - Identity and Access Management using Web Services - Mobile Web Services - Model-Driven Web Service Engineering - Next Generation Web Services Middleware and Service Repositories - Service quality and service interface design guidelines - RESTful Web Services - Self-Organizing Service Oriented Architectures - Semantic Web Services - Service Level Agreements for Web services - Service-Oriented Business Collaboration - SOA Governance and Web Services - Social Web Services - Web Services for Grids - Web Services in Service-Oriented Environments - Web Services Life-Cycles - Web Services Security and Privacy It should be noted that papers on existing product descriptions or product marketing information are not within the scope of the ECOWS 2011 Industrial Track. ------------- PhD Symposium ------------- The ECOWS 2011 PhD Symposium is an international forum for PhD students working in any of the areas addressed by the ECOWS conference. The main aim of the Symposium is to give PhD students an opportunity to present their research activity and perspectives, to critically discuss them with other PhD students and with established researchers in the area, and to get fruitful feedback and advices on their research activity.
