The general aim of ambient systems is to provide an environment wherein computing devices exist anywhere and everywhere. In such systems mobile and embedded computing devices form ad hoc collaboration using different communication networks (e.g., wireless networks, RFID, etc) in order to share and exchange information and provide services. Ambient systems pose new research challenges due to the open and unreliable nature of the environment and the complexity and heterogeneity of the computing devices and the underlying communication networks. These characteristics challenge traditional techniques and demand new ways of approaching the problems related to the ambient systems.

Fwd: [WI] Special Issue of JWS: Reasoning with context in the Semantic Web
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Special Issue of JWS: Reasoning with context in the Semantic Web Datum: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 19:33:20 -0300 Von: ARCOE <organization(a)arcoe.org> An: organization(a)arcoe.org Apologies for cross-posting. 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 – 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. Authors should upload submissions on Elsevier's Electronic Submission System at http://ees.elsevier.com/jws Choose "Reasoning with context in SW" as article type. See the link "Guide Authors" on the above url for instructions. * Important dates: - Submission deadline: 15 June 2011 - First-round reviews: 5 September 2011 - Revised papers submitted: 30 September 2011 - Final acceptance decisions: 31 October 2011 - Tentative publication date: April 2012 * Guest editors: Alan Bundy (University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom) Jos Lehmann (University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom) Ivan Varzinczak (CSIR Meraka Institute, South Africa) Send enquiries and communications to: organization [at] arcoe [dot] org

Fwd: [wkwi] CfP Teilkonferenz "Wissensmanagement" (MKWI 2012)
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP Teilkonferenz "Wissensmanagement" (MKWI 2012) Datum: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 15:36:44 +0200 (CEST) Von: Franz Lehner <Franz.Lehner(a)uni-passau.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; *Einladung zur Einreichung von Beiträgen* *Teilkonferenz "Wissensmanagement"* im Rahmen der Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (MKWI) 2012 http://mkwi2012.de/ 29.02.-02.03.2012 an der Technischen Universität Braunschweig *Inhalt:* Wissensmanagement ist dabei nach übereinstimmender Meinung eine systematische Vorgehensweise, um das Wissen einer Organisation zu identifizieren oder zu entwickeln, für die weitere Verwendung zu sammeln, zu bewahren und weiter zu entwickeln. Im Sinne der betriebswirtschaftlichen Managementlehre kann dabei zwischen einem institutionalen und einem funktionalen Management unterschieden werden. Ersteres bezieht sich auf die Personen, die die Aufgaben ausfüllen sollen, sowie deren Rollen und ihre Eingliederung in die Organisationsstruktur. Letzteres beschreibt die auszuführenden Tätigkeiten oder Aufgaben genauer, wobei sich die Managementtätigkeit aufgliedern lässt in Ziele setzen, Planen, Entscheiden, Ausführen und Umsetzen, sowie Kontrollieren. In Bezug auf beide Managementbegriffe besteht bisher keine Einigkeit hinsichtlich einer Systematik, den damit zusammenhängenden Aufgaben, den einzusetzenden Methoden, usw. sodass inzwischen eine größere Anzahl Konzepte miteinander in Konkurrenz stehen. Aufgrund der zentralen Bedeutung des Wissens für die Innovationsfähigkeit von Organisationen, aber auch für die organisatorische Effizienz, wird die Notwendigkeit für ein systematisches Wissensmanagement heute auch in der Praxis nicht mehr angezweifelt. Es zeigt sich jedoch oft, dass Unternehmen mit ihrem Wissensmanagement nicht zufrieden sind. Dieser Umstand kann unter anderem darin begründet sein, dass etablierte Maßstäbe und brauchbare Instrumente zur Evaluierung des Wissensmanagements noch fehlen, sodass auch keine gezielten Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung gesetzt werden können. Aufbauend auf das bisherige Wissen und aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten soll in dieser Teilkonferenz die Auseinandersetzung mit den Aufgaben, Methoden und Konzepten des Wissensmanagements intensiviert und ein Beitrag zur Harmonisierung und Integration unterschiedlicher Teilkonzepte unternommen werden. Ein wichtiger Fokus liegt dabei neben der Auseinandersetzung mit den Einflussfaktoren und der Erfolgsmessung auch auf dem Einsatz von Informationstechnologien für das Wissensmanagement. Ein wichtiger Aspekt für die Wirtschaftsinformatik ist Wissensmanagement in global tätigen Organisationen.

Fwd: [WI] 6th MCIS2011 / BPM Track
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Apr '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 6th MCIS2011 / BPM Track Datum: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 19:56:15 +0200 Von: vom Brocke Jan <jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li> An: 'wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de' <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de>, 'wkwi(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de' <wkwi(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de> Last CfP: MCIS2011 / Track "e-Services and Business Process Management" http://www.mcis2011.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MCIS2011_eServices_BPM.p… Submission date: May 2nd, 2011 TRACK DESCRIPTION Business Process Management (BPM) has emerged as an important field in information systems research. It roots in concepts such as workflow management, business process reengineering, and total quality management. BPM to date characterizes an integrated management approach. As such, BPM seeks to develop a wide range of organizational capabilities facilitating excellence and innovation in business including: IT, Methods, Strategic Alignment, Governance, People and Culture. In an advancing information society, effective and efficient business processes not only contribute to business prosperity, but also form the basis for the provision of diverse services of our private and social life like it is discussed in research on e-Services. Here, the management of processes across organizational, sectoral, and national boundaries plays an essential role. While former information systems used to be designed according to requirements of specific sectors and business domains (such as production planning and control, retail, banking, or administration) in the e-Service area, new information systems may be designed overcoming such boundaries. Such information systems may for example integrate all services relevant for a customer on one platform like banking services, educational services, health services, social services, and governmental services just to name a few relevant for a typical private household. However, major challenges arise from integrating such services in the most efficient and effective way. The aim of the e-Services and BPM track is to provide a forum for thought leaders in this area seeking to assist in further leveraging the use of e-Services in our modern economy and society. We believe that BPM can largely contribute to these challenges and, thus, invite contributions on the intersection between e-Services and BPM. We welcome rigorous and relevant contributions from a wide variety of research methods. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee, and best papers will be recommended for fast track to prestigious BPM-related journals. RELEVANT TOPICS Examples of topics include but are not limited to: . BPM in e-Business, e-Commerce, e-Health and e-Government . Success factors and measures of BPM in e-Service environments . Inter-organizational BPM . Collaborative BPM . BPM governance in e-Service environments . Business process innovation based on e-Services . Process outsourcing/off-shoring . Design of BPM artifacts leveraging e-Services in economy and society . Process-aware and service-oriented Information Systems . BPM in different fields of applications . BPM and social software . BPM and culture . Business models for service ecosystems . Success factors for service ecosystems . Enterprise modeling and application integration services . Monitoring of services, process mining, and quality of service . E-Service enabled solutions and processes IMPORTANT DATES . Deadline for submissions: May 2nd, 2011 . Notification of acceptance: June 15th, 2011 . Camera-ready versions: July 1st, 2011 TRACK CHAIRS . Helmut Krcmar, TU München, Germany (krcmar(a)in.tum.de) .
