Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management @ BPM 2011
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management @ BPM 2011 Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 06:08:55 +0100 From: Janiesch, Christian <c.janiesch(a)sap.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management collocated with BPM 2011 http://icep-edbpm11.fzi.de/ Clermont-Ferrand, France from August 28th to September 2nd, 2011 The recently coined term<Event-Driven Business Process Management> (EDBPM) is nowadays an enhancement of BPM by new concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). edBPM11 will continue the work of previous edBPM workshops in exchanging novel ideas, methods, tools and solutions for the event-driven BPM, with the main goal to connect research and industry in better understanding what can be done from the research point of view and what is the need from the industry/business point of view. In this context BPM means a software platform which provides companies the ability to model, manage, and optimize these processes for significant gain. As an independent system, CEP is a parallel running platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and the CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the BPM-workflow engine and by the - if distributed - IT services which are associated with the business process steps. Also events coming from different event sources in different forms can trigger a business process or influence the execution of a process or a service, which can result in another event. Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular context can be treated as a complex, business level event, relevant for the execution of other business processes or services. A business process - arbitrarily fine or coarse grained - can be seen as a service again and can be "choreographed" with other business processes or services, even between d! ifferent enterprises and organizations. Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides significant benefits: * Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and processes respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they happen. * Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements. * Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without breaking the process model. TOPICS ------ Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the prior described problem domain. * Event-driven BPM: Concepts o Role of event processing in BPM o Business Events: types and representation o Event stream processing in business processes o Data- and event-driven business processes * Design-time CEP and BPM o Modelling events in human-oriented tasks o Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM o Publish/subscription mechanism and process modelling * Run-time CEP and BPM o Event pattern detection o BPEL and event processing o Reasoning about unknown/similar events * Applications/Use cases for event-driven BPM o Event-driven monitoring/BAM o Event-driven SLA monitoring SUBMISSIONS ----------- The following types of submission are solicited: * Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long. * Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6 pages long. * Use case submission, describing results from an edBPM use case. These papers should be at most 4 pages long. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (Long Paper/ Short Paper).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP 3M4SE @ EDOC 2011 Datum: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:43:35 +0100 Von: <m.e.iacob(a)utwente.nl> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *** Extended deadline for workshop paper submissions: 29 March 2011 *** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S ------------------------------- Second International Workshop on Models and Model-driven Methods for Service Engineering (3M4SE 2011) in conjunction with the Fifteenth IEEE International EDOC Conference (EDOC 2011) "The Enterprise Computing Conference", August 29 - September 2, 2011, Helsinki, Finland http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/edoc2011/3m4se Scope ----- Recent developments in meta-modelling and model transformation techniques have led to increasing adoption of model-driven engineering practices. The increase in interest and significance of the model-driven approach has also accelerated its application in the development of large (distributed) IT systems to support (collaborative) enterprises. Shifting attention from source code to models allows enterprises to focus on their core concerns, such as business processes, services and collaborations, without being forced to simultaneously consider the underlying technologies. Different concerns are typically addressed by different models, with transformations between the models and ultimately to the source code. Although the model-driven approach offers theoretical benefits for the development, maintenance and evolution of enterprise computing systems and corresponding service-oriented solutions, a number of issues for the practical application of the approach still exist. In order to solve these issues further advances in models (business goals, pragmatic interoperability, semantic interoperability) and model-driven methods (design concepts, languages, meta-models, profiles, specification frameworks) are necessary. This workshop aims at helping the convergence of research on model-driven development and practical application of the model-driven approach in the area of enterprise computing and service engineering. The workshop addresses questions with respect to the requirements on, concepts for, properties of and experience with models and model-driven methods for service engineering in the area of enterprise computing. A special focus will be on the combined application of model-driven and semantic approaches in the different phases of the service lifecycle. Topics ------ * Model-driven service-oriented design process, milestones and design guidelines for service engineering (business goals, pragmatic interoperability, semantic interoperability); * Modelling techniques for Service-Oriented Architectures (design concepts, languages, meta-models, profiles and specification frameworks); * Full lifecycle requirements management for service systems; * Modelling of non-functional and Quality-of-Service characteristics; * Modelling, analysis and execution of service compositions; * Model-driven design patterns; * Platform-independent modelling techniques; * Mappings and transformation patterns from platform-independent models to specific technology platforms (Web Services, J2EE, .NET, etc.). * Limitations of metamodel-based techniques for service engineering, and alternative techniques; * Model-driven service description, publication and discovery; * Platform models and generic platform types; * Use of viewpoints, relations and correspondences between viewpoints for model-driven service-oriented design; * Implications of (middleware) platform characteristics for the model-driven design process; * Empirical studies and experience reports on models and model-driven methods. Submission ---------- The workshop welcomes submissions of full papers (8 to 10 pages long) and position papers (around 4 pages) in the IEEE Computer Society format. Full research papers should describe original results that have not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality, appropriateness and significance. Position papers should describe new insights gained, should define new problems or research directions and/or pose challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on their appropriateness, significance, clarity and on their potential to trigger interesting discussions on the day of the workshop. All submissions must comply with the IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings format guidelines (please use the latest template as there have been updates recently). Submissions must be in English. Submissions should be submitted in PDF format using the EasyChair system (see http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3m4se2011). All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published pre-conference, in the EDOC short-papers and workshops' proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop.

Fwd: [WI] Special Issue of JWS: Reasoning with Context in the Semantic Web
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Special Issue of JWS: Reasoning with Context in the Semantic Web Datum: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:42:24 +0200 Von: ARCOE <organization(a)arcoe.org> An: organization(a)arcoe.org (Apologies for multiple postings.) Call for Papers: ================================================ Special Issue of the Journal of Web Semantics on "Reasoning with context in the Semantic Web" ================================================ Mechanisms for reasoning with context have become increasingly important factors in the Semantic Web. There is a growing need for general and robust reasoning techniques that make it possible to integrate heterogeneous knowledge or to use homogeneous knowledge across different domains. Research on this topic has so far, and not surprisingly, concentrated on formal ontologies, i.e., on the logical structures that encode the semantics of a software's domain of application. Work on the Semantic Web as well as on information integration, distributed knowledge management, multi-agent and distributed reasoning has focussed on the relationship between an ontology and its context. This has aimed at clarifying how to relate knowledge that is distributed over many resources. Recent Semantic Web specific developments suggest that aspects of this relation can be captured by means of named graphs (to express meta-information), the use of provenance (to track the context where data/axioms came from) and querying (to facilitate reasoning). Other neighbouring research areas, though, have also investigated topics that shed light on how to reason with context in the Semantic Web. Ontology Engineering and Maintenance, for instance, has tackled the problems faced by ontology engineers when developing and maintaining an ontology. The yielded automation of the process of ontology development and of its phases (e.g. knowledge elicitation, revision cycles, alignment with pre-existing ontologies etc.) has improved efficiency, reduced the introduction of unintended meanings into ontologies and in general made explicit the relationship between an ontology and its development context. Finally, research on Problem Solving and Agent Communication has explored how an agent's ontology needs to change at run-time because of interactions with its context ‚Äì for instance with other agents whose ontologies are not known or with new non-classifiable world situations. This type of research has delivered a deeper understanding of the evolution of an ontology and is often based on non-monotonic reasoning, belief revision or changes of signature, i.e., of the grammar of the ontology's language, with a minimal disruption to the original theory. * Topics of interest: This special issue aims at bringing together work on reasoning with context in the Semantic Web from the integration, development and evolutionary perspectives described above. Submitted articles, which may describe either theoretical results or applications, must clearly pertain to the Semantic Web and/or to semantic technologies. They should present either Semantic Web specific approaches to reasoning with context, or approaches that have characteristics that are interesting for the Semantic Web (e.g., scalability, bounded reasoning), or approaches that are of value to a larger community containing a non-trivial Semantic Web sub-community (e.g. revision/update techniques and error pin-pointing). Submissions are welcome on topics relevant to reasoning with context in the Semantic Web and that include but are not limited to: - Named graphs - Provenance - Knowledge representation languages for semantic technologies - Planning and reasoning about action and change in the Semantic Web - Ontology fault diagnosis and repair - Pinpointing of logical errors in contexts and ontologies - Explanation and justifications in DL ontologies - Ontology and context evolution, debugging, update and merging - Inconsistency handling in contexts and ontologies - Uncertainty handling, defeasible reasoning and argumentation in ontologies - Non-classical belief revision - Context revision and theory change in DL ontologies - Ontology and context versioning - Semantic difference in ontologies and in contexts - Information and knowledge integration - The role of context and ontology in distributed reasoning and knowledge management - Heuristic and approximate reasoning - Bounded reasoning and bounded rationality in the Semantic Web - Adaptive systems and reconfiguration - Ontology-based data access - Querying - Multi-Agent systems in the Semantic Web - Temporal and spatial reasoning - Normative reasoning in the Semantic Web - General problem solving for semantic technologies - Machine learning for the Semantic Web - Philosophical foundations of reasoning about context and ontology evolution - Comparison of uses of contexts and ontologies * How to submit: Maximal length of submissions is 25 pages.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Third SoEA4EE Workshop (in EDOC) - *** Deadline Extension to March 29***
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Third SoEA4EE Workshop (in EDOC) - *** Deadline Extension to March 29*** Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:26:40 +0100 From: Selmin Nurcan <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *********************************************************************************************** Call for Papers Third International Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE'11) in conjunction with EDOC 2011 August 30th, 2011, Helsinki, Finland http://edoc2011.cs.helsinki.fi/edoc2011/ Organisers: Selmin Nurcan – University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France Rainer Schmidt – Aalen University, Germany Papers submission deadline: March 29, 2011 Detailed Call for Papers is below. It is also available at: http://crinfo.univ-paris1.fr/users/nurcan/SoEA4EE_2011/SoEA4EE_2011_flyer.p… *********************************************************************************************** ------ SCOPE ------ There is a more and more common understanding, that not the ownership of IT resources but their management is the foundation for sustainable competitive advantage . According to Ross et al., smart companies define how they (will) do business (using an operating model) and design the processes and infrastructure critical to their current and future operations (using an enterprise architecture). The management of information technology resources should be done with the application of engineering principles, called enterprise engineering. Enterprise Engineering allows deriving the Enterprise Architecture from the enterprise goals and strategy and aligning it with the enterprise resources, but it may also be supported by the Enterprise Architecture if the latter is documented. Enterprise architecture aims (i) to understand the interactions and all kind of articulations between business and information technology, (ii) to define how to align business components and IT components, as well as business strategy and IT strategy, and more particularly (iii) to develop and support a common understanding and sharing of those purposes of interest. Enterprise architecture is used to map the enterprise goal and strategy to the enterprise’s resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and to take into account the evolution of this mapping. It also provides documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the enterprise goals and strategy. To this end, advantageous patterns (best practices) can be reused and alternative design solutions can be compared. Furthermore, enterprise architecture may be checked for compliance with laws, regulatory rules etc. Finally, enterprise architecture facilitates the measurement the performance and efficiency of the resources used. There are different paradigms for creating enterprise architecture. The most important regarding the purpose of this workshop is to encapsulate the functionalities provided by IT resources as services. By this means, it is possible to clearly describe the contributions of IT resources both in terms of functionality and quality and to define a service-oriented enterprise architecture. Service-oriented enterprise architecture easily integrates wide-spread technological approaches such as SOA or emerging ones as the cloud computing because they also use service as structuring paradigm. Service-oriented enterprise engineering further develops the enterprise engineering approach selecting service as governing paradigm. The enterprise goals and strategies are mapped to a service-oriented enterprise architecture. Service-oriented enterprise architecture differentiates four layers of services. Thus, its scope is much broader than the scope of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) and also includes services not accessible through software such as business and infrastructure services. Services of different layers may be interconnected in service (value) nets to provide higher level services. 1. Business services are services, which directly support business processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically (on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository for a given business domain. An example is call-centre services provided by an external service provider. 2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented applications, which are provided as Software as a Service, (ii) application services which are part of so-called Service-Oriented-Architectures that are a popular paradigm for creating enterprise software . 3. Platform Services provide support of the development of applications. They provide services for the execution of applications, middleware stacks, web servers etc. 4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing power, storage etc. They are an important topic in management and practice collections such as ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have gained a high popularity. ------ GOALS ------ The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures and the software systems supporting them. Especially three themes of research shall be pursued: 1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the service-oriented enterprise architecture 2. Design of the service-oriented enterprise architecture 3. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise resources --------------------- TOPICS OF DISCUSSION --------------------- During the workshop we will discuss the following topics: 1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the service-oriented enterprise architecture - Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy? - Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the business strategy? - Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by services? - How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals and strategy? - How are services aligned with non-functional requirements? - How are services aligned with compliance requirements? - Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using service-oriented enterprise architectures? 2. Design of service-oriented enterprise architecture - How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services defined? - How are business services assigned to business processes? - How are business services assigned to non-functional requirements? - How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, platform and infrastructure services- created? - How does service-oriented enterprise architecture, interrelate with cloud computing? - How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform and infrastructure services? - How are appropriate meta-services designed? - Which phases do the lifecycle of business, software, platform and infrastructure services contain? - How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored? - Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to services? - Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services? 3. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise resources - Which resources are relevant for Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture? - How are services mapped to enterprise resources? - Which approaches exist to map services to resources? - Which information system architectures are adequate for services? - How can non-functional requirements be mapped to capacity planning of resources? ------------------------------------- COLLABORATION WITH THE TEAR WORKSHOP ------------------------------------- The 2011 SoEA4EE workshop will be organised in collaboration with the TEAR workshop. The SoEA4EE 2011 workshop will be held on the 30th of August, while the TEAR workshop will be held on the 29th of August. The organisers of both workshops explicitly invite visitors to visit both workshops, in order to further the integration between the two communities. Where the TEAR workshop focuses on EA in general, the SoEA4EE workshop focuses on the role of the service oriented paradigm in the context of EA. Authors of papers on topics (that were included in past TEAR call-for-papers) such as: - Integrating service oriented and legacy architectures, - Service design on application and business levels, - Service orientation as EA design paradigm, - Service oriented architecture (SOA) and EA, are invited to submit these papers to the SoEA4EE workshop instead of TEAR. Authors of papers dealing with Enterprise Architecture without any link to service orientation in its widest sense are invited to submit these papers to TEAR instead of SoEA4EE. ----------- SUBMISSION ----------- Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) may be submitted to facilitate discussion of recent research results and ongoing projects. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion. All contributions will be peer reviewed based on the complete version, being full or short. All papers published in the EDOC 2011 workshop proceedings must be in the IEEE Computer Society format (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). It is strongly recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are first submitted to workshops. This gives precise picture of the paper length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted. Please submit your paper to nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC 2011 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2011. If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The SoEA4EE workshop has been a full day workshop in conjunction with EDOC’09 in New Zealand and with EDOC’10 in Brasil. The link for the proceedings of EDOC 2009 workshops is: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=5331971&isYear=2009. The link for the proceedings of EDOC 2010 workshops is: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=5626915 ----------------- EXPECTED RESULTS ----------------- All papers will be published in the workshop wiki (www.soea4ee.org) before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other participants. The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. A workshop report will be created collaboratively using the workshop wiki. ---------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------- Paper submission: 29 March 2011 Author notification: 7 May 2011 Camera-ready due: 1 June 2011 ------------------ PROGRAM COMMITTEE ------------------ João Paulo A.
