Viele Forschungseinrichtungen stellen ihre Systeme als OS-Systeme zur Verfügung und OS-Systeme beeinflussen Spezifikationen in den Bereichen Java-EE, Web und andere. Viele größere Unternehmen haben mittlerweile eine eigene Abteilung, die sich mit Fragestellungen zu OS-Software beschäftigt. Die Chancen des Einsatzes von OS-Produkten haben jedoch noch nicht alle IT- Verantwortlichen erreicht. Das liegt u.a. an fehlenden Informationen über bereits verfügbare Systeme und Produkte, einer allgemeinen Unsicherheit beim Umgang mit OS-Lizenzen und software-technischen Fragestellungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Einsatz von OS-Produkten. Auf dem Workshop ISOS 2011 sollen sämtliche Aspekte des Einsatzes von OS-Produkten in der Entwicklung von Informationssystemen thematisiert und insbesondere bestehende Problemfelder und Unsicherheiten aufgezeigt und analysiert werden.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Zweiter Call for Papers & Einladung zum Workshop der GI FG SIM an der Informatik 4.-7.10.2011 Berlin - STRATEGISCHES INFORMATIONSMANAGEMENT Datum: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 17:15:48 +0200 Von: Walser Konrad <konrad.walser(a)bfh.ch> An: 'wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de' <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *********************************************************************************************************** Informatik 2011 -- 41. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI) -- 4. bis 7. Oktober 2011 -- Berlin /*Zweiter Call for Papers und *//*Einladung zur Gründungsversammlung und zum Workshop "Strategisches Informationsmanagement" -- Fachgruppe SIM des GI Fachbereichs 5 -- Wirtschaftsinformatik*/ *Halbtägiger Workshop mit zwei Sessions* Detailprogramm folgt später. *********************************************************************************************************** *VORLÄUFIGES PROGRAMM Workshop* 1. Session mit Keynote und Darstellung der Gründe für die Wiederinitiierung der Fachgruppe sowie Formalia. 2. Session mit Diskussionsrunde zur Ausrichtung der Fachgruppe mit den Fachgruppenmitgliedern und weiteren Interessierten sowie Vorträgen aus Einreichungen. ********************************************************************************************************** /*Der folgende Text ist als zu diskutierender programmatischer Vorschlag für die Fachgruppe*//*SIM*//*(und den Workshop) zu verstehen.*/ *PROBLEMSTELLUNG FACHGRUPPE STRATEGISCHES INFORMATIONSMANAGEMENT**(FG SIM)* Das strategische Informationsmanagement ist eine schillernde Disziplin, der in Wissenschaft und Praxis gleichermaßen Bedeutung zugemessen wird. Zwar hat sich "Informationsmanagement" eher als ein Begriff aus der Informatik- und Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung etabliert, während in der Praxis eher die Termini "IT-Management", "IT-Governance" und "Informatik-Management" gebräuchlich sind. Gleichwohl scheint Konsens zu bestehen, dass die Verarbeitung und Bereitstellung von Information systematisch zu managen ist und dabei Informationssysteme und -technologie mit in die Betrachtung einbezogen werden müssen. In Anlehnung an etablierte Definitionen verstehen wir Informationsmanagement als "auf Information und Kommunikation gerichtetes Leitungshandeln in Organisationen, also alle Führungsaufgaben, die sich mit Information und Kommunikation befassen" (Heinrich, Stelzer 2009) bzw. "das Management der Informationswirtschaft, der Informationssysteme, der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik sowie der übergreifenden Führungsaufgaben" (Krcmar 2009). Damit verbundene Ziele sind bspw. die Unterstützung der Erreichung der strategischen Unternehmensziele und die Steigerung des Unternehmenswerts. Als hiermit verbundene Ziele und Aufgaben werden die Entwicklung von aus Unternehmensstrategien abgeleiteten IT-Strategien, Business/IT-Alignment sowie IT-Service-, IT-Risiko- und Compliance-Management genannt. Informationsmanagement ist damit sowohl Management- wie Technikdisziplin (Krcmar 2009). Bis heute existiert kein etabliertes und strukturiertes Methodenverständnis zur Erstellung und Durchsetzung einer IT-Strategie, zum Aufbau angemessener Strukturen sowie zur Entwicklung von korrespondierenden IT-Prozessen. Die Arbeit in der Fachgruppe, die mit diesem Workshop wieder aufgenommen werden soll, widmet sich u.a. diesem Sachverhalt. Die Verfasser empfinden es als einen Mangel, dass sich seit einer Reihe von Jahren keine Fachgruppe der Gesellschaft für Informatik bzw. des Fachbereichs Wirtschaftsinformatik diesem bedeutenden Thema aktiv widmet. Es ist nicht das Ziel, zu vorhandenen Fachgruppen in Konkurrenz zu treten. Vielmehr bearbeitet die Fachgruppe SIM komplementär und gerne in Kooperation mit anderen Fachgruppen entsprechende Themen aus strategischer Sicht. *VORGEHEN IN UND FÜR FACHGRUPPE STRATEGISCHES INFORMATIONSMANAGEMENT****(FG SIM)* Wir planen, zunächst eine Konferenz- oder Workshop-Reihe zu initiieren, in der zunächst in der Breite und danach in immer stärker fokussierten Veranstaltungen auf aktuelle und künftige Entwicklungen im Strategischen Informationsmanagement eingegangen wird. Wichtig ist uns hierfür zum einen die Kopplung von Theorie und Praxis, zum anderen die Definition einer wissenschaftlichen Forschungsagenda. *KONTAKTPERSONEN UND SPRECHER DER F**G**SIM* Bei Fragen stehen Ihnen die beiden Sprecher der GI Fachgruppe SIM Prof. Dr. Matthias Goeken (Frankfurt School of Finance & Management) und Dr. rer. oec. Konrad Walser (Berner Fachhochschule) gerne zur Verfügung. Die Emailadressen lauten wie folgt: * _m.goeken(a)fs.de_ <mailto:m.goeken@fs.de> * _konrad.walser(a)bfh.ch_ <mailto:konrad.walser@bfh.ch> *WEBSEITEN* *NEU:* Webseite zum Workshop der FG SIM an der Informatik 2011 in Berlin: http://www.frankfurt-school.de/content/de/it_governance/workshop_SIM.htm *BESTEHEND:* Webseite für den Workshop auf der Webseite der Informatik 2011: http://www.informatik2011.de/fileadmin/informatik2011/WS-pdf/CfP_GI_FG_SIM_… *EINREICHUNGEN UND TERMINE* Wir werden, ausgehend von der Tatsache, dass wir die Fachgruppe neu beleben und erst auszurichten haben, für diesen ersten Workshop nicht mit einem Programmkomitee und doppelblind-begutachteten Beiträgen arbeiten. Trotzdem werden wir je nach Einreichungslage eine mehr oder weniger strukturierte Auswahl treffen. Das entsprechende Auswahlverfahren wird für Sie transparent gemacht. Bitte senden Sie daher Workshop-Einreichungen (Paper zur Informatik 2011 oder "Extended Abstracts") *bis spätestens zum 6.5.2011* zu den oben angegebenen Themenbereichen im LNI-Format *per E-Mail* an die beiden Sprecher der GI Fachgruppe SIM ein, von denen die E-Mail-Adressen oben angegeben sind.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Contents of the Latest Issue of Journal of Database Management (JDM) 22(2) Datum: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 13:56:01 -0500 Von: Keng Siau <ksiau(a)unlnotes.unl.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org The contents of the latest issue of: Journal of Database Management (JDM) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 22, Issue 2, April-June 2011 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1063-8016 EISSN: 1533-8010 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/jdm Editor-in-Chief: Keng Siau, University of Nebraska - Lincoln, USA Special Issue: Service-Oriented Architecture and Computing GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE Sandeep Purao, Penn State University, USA Vijay Khatri, Indiana University, USA Brian Cameron, Penn State University, USA To read the preface, click on the link below, and then click "Preface." http://www.igi-global.com/bookstore/titledetails.aspx?titleid=47820 PAPER ONE Multi-Level Modeling of Web Service Compositions with Transactional Properties K. Vidyasankar, Memorial University, Canada Gottfried Vossen, University of Muenster, Germany Web services have become popular as a vehicle for the design, integration, composition, reuse, and deployment of distributed and heterogeneous software. However, although industry standards for the description, composition, and orchestration of Web services have been under development, their conceptual underpinnings are not fully understood. Conceptual models for service specification are rare, as are investigations based on them. This paper presents and studies a multi-level service composition model that perceives service specification as going through several levels of abstraction. It starts from transactional operations at the lowest level and abstracts into activities at higher levels that are close to the service provider or end user. The authors treat service composition from a specification and execution point of view, where the former is about composition logic and the latter about transactional guarantees. Consequently, the model allows for the specification of a number of transactional properties, such as atomicity and guaranteed termination, at all levels. Different ways of achieving the composition properties and implications of the model are presented. The authors also discuss how the model subsumes practical proposals like the OASIS Business Transaction Protocol, Sun’s WS-TXM, and execution aspects of the BPEL4WS standard.

W. Chiu, Dickson Computer Systems, Hong Kong Qing Li, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Patrick C. K. Hung, University of Ontario, Canada Zhe Shan, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong S. C. Cheung, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Yu Yang, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Matthias Farwick, University of Innsbruck, Austria Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has recently gained attention both within industry and academia; however, its characteristics cannot be easily solved using existing distributed computing technologies. Composition and interaction issues have been the central concerns, because SOC applications are composed of heterogeneous and distributed processes. To tackle the complexity of inter-organizational service integration, the authors propose a methodology to decompose complex process requirements into different types of flows, such as control, data, exception, and security. The subset of each type of flow necessary for the interactions with each partner can be determined in each service. These subsets collectively constitute a process view, based on which interactions can be systematically designed and managed for system integration through service composition. The authors illustrate how the proposed SOC middleware, named FlowEngine, implements and manages these flows with contemporary Web services technologies. An experimental case study in an e-governmental environment further demonstrates how the methodology can facilitate the design of complex inter-organizational processes.

Due to their inherent autonomy and heterogeneity, it is difficult to examine the behaviour of composite services, especially in case of failures. This paper is interested in ensuring composite services reliability. Reliable composition is defined as a composition where all instance executions are correct from a transactional and business point of view. In this paper, the authors propose a transactional approach for ensuring reliable Web service compositions. The approach integrates the expressivity power of workflow models and the reliability of Advanced Transactional Models (ATM). This method offers flexibility for designers to specify their requirements in terms of control structure, using workflow patterns, and execution correctness. Contrary to ATM, the authors start from the designers’ specifications to define the appropriate transactional mechanisms that ensure correct executions according to their requirements.

To retain the reusability of services, non-functional properties of applications must be separated from their functional properties. This paper investigates a model-driven development framework that separates non-functional properties from functional properties and manages them. This framework proposes two components: (1) a programming language, called BALLAD, for a new per-process strategy to specify non-functional properties for business processes, and (2) a graphical modeling method, called FM-SNFPs, to define a series of constraints among non-functional properties. BALLAD leverages aspects in aspect oriented programming/modeling. Each aspect is used to specify a set of non-functional properties that crosscut multiple services in a business process. FM-SNFPs leverage the notion of feature modeling to define constraints among non-functional properties like dependency and mutual exclusion constraints. BALLAD and FM-SNFPs free application developers from manually specifying, maintaining and validating non-functional properties and constraints for services one by one, reducing the burdens/costs in development and maintenance of service-oriented applications. This paper describes the design details of BALLAD and FM-SNFPs, and demonstrates how they are used in developing service-oriented applications. BALLAD significantly reduces the costs to implement and maintain non-functional properties in service-oriented applications.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Process Mining - Slides and Event Logs supporting the new book "Process Mining: Discovery, Conformance, and Enhancement of Business Processes" Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 12:04:10 +0200 From: Aalst, W.M.P. van der <W.M.P.v.d.Aalst(a)tm.tue.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Slides and Event Logs supporting the new book "Process Mining: Discovery, Conformance, and Enhancement of Business Processes" http://www.processmining.org/book/ Process mining provides a new means to improve processes in a variety of application domains. Driven by the omnipresence of event data and the limitations of Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) approaches, a new discipline has emerged that builds on classical process model-driven approaches and data mining. During the last decade, breakthroughs have been realized that make it possible the automatically discover business processes from event data present in information systems ranging from ERP systems (e.g. SAP and Oracle) and E-business applications to hospital information systems and high-tech production systems. Process mining can also be used for conformance checking in the context of auditing, compliance, and governance. Moreover, by projecting event data onto discovered models, business processes can be improved in terms of costs, time, and quality. The book "Process Mining: Discovery, Conformance, and Enhancement of Business Processes" (Springer, http://springer.com/978-3-642-19344-6, ISBN 978-3-642-19344-6) by Wil van der Aalst is the first book on Process Mining. It collects the state-of-the-art results available in publications, software and best practices. To support the book a website http://www.processmining.org/book/ has been created containing slides, event logs, and models. The slides can be used for presentations, e.g., for university seminars to discuss the emerging topic of process mining and for training IT and business consultants to provide services based on process mining. Many of the event logs mentioned in the book are available via http://www.processmining.org/book/. The open-source software ProM (http://www.promtools.org/prom6/) and other tools supporting the XES or MXML format can be used to discover process models from these example logs. Also models have been included to experiment with conformance checking (pinpoint discrepancies between event log and model) and other types of analysis. For more information on process mining visit www.processmining.org <http://www.processmining.org>. For more information on the new process mining book see http://springer.com/978-3-642-19344-6. People of organizations that have the proper SpringerLink subscription can download the book from http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-3-642-19344-6.
