In der vergangenen Dekade entwickelten sich mächtige Anwendungen, die bereits heute eine Vielfalt an E-Government-Angeboten ermöglichen. Die ernsthafte strategische Behandlung des Themas ließ länger auf sich warten. Hier ist erst in den letzten Jahren viel auf europäischer und staatlicher Ebene passiert. Auf kommunaler Ebene spürt man diese Entwicklung an dem Fakt, dass auf Strategieelementen von E-Government basierende Projekte nunmehr vornehmlich als Fachprojekte statt als Sonderprojekte gesehen werden. Beispiele hierfür sind der Neue Personalausweis, die Umsetzung der EG-Dienstleistungsrichtlinie sowie der INSPIRE-Richtlinie oder die Umgestaltung des KFZ-Wesens. E-Government ist von einem Randthema „in die Mitte“ der Verwaltung vorgestoßen und fungiert hier zunehmend als Treiber der Verwaltungsmodernisierung, aber auch als Integrationsmoment für die Themen Organisation, Informationstechnologie, Recht und Personal. Im Rahmen dieser positiven Entwicklung stellen sich in zunehmendem Maße Fragen wie folgt, die an der Konferenz thematisiert werden sollen: • Können politische Schwerpunktsetzungen mit Prioritäten der E-Government-Entwicklung in Einklang gebracht werden? • Wie kann E-Government Politik unterstützen? • Ist E-Government in der Lage, die Geschäftsmodelle der öffentlichen Verwaltungen zum Vorteil der Bürger und der Wirtschaft zu verändern? • Wie kann E-Government helfen, der steigenden Volatilität des gesellschaftlichen Umfelds adäquat Rechnung zu tragen? Die E-Government 2011, Dresdner Tagung greift diese Governance-Themen als diesjähriges Schwerpunktthema auf und möchte die unter dem Titel IT-Governance bereits seit einigen Jahren diskutierte Methoden und Modelle in den Kontext E-Government transferieren. Neben Einreichungen zu diesem Schwerpunktthema sind Einreichungen zu weiteren E-Governmentthemen ebenfalls herzlich willkommen.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP: 9th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2011) Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2011 14:35:51 +0300 From: Announcements <announce(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: telespazio.com, <WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> The Nineth International Conference on Service Oriented Computing Coral Beach Hotel, Paphos, Cyprus December 5-8, 2011 http://www.icsoc.org/ *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** THE CONFERENCE Since 2003, The International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC) has been the main forum for academics and industry researchers and developers to report and share groundbreaking works in service-oriented computing. ICSOC aims at fostering cross-community scientific excellence and collaboration by the gathering of experts from various disciplines, such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, ubiquitous computing, grid computing, service science, management science, and software engineering. Service innovation is key to the future of business. Even in traditionally manufacturing-driven industries, such as IT, the importance of service has surpassed most other corporate competences. The Internet and Web-based services create ever more opportunities for service innovation. Service science is an interdisciplinary approach to the study, design, and implementation of service systems - the specific arrangements of people, organizations, technologies, and information that co-create value. Service systems are often IT-enabled and knowledge-intensive, and can span different real or virtual organizations. In this multidisciplinary context, researchers and practitioners in management, social sciences, and computer sciences are all working together to promote and facilitate service innovation. While keeping its roots in scientific excellence and technical depth of service technology, ICSOC 2011 aims at examining the research opportunities that are offered by the possible blend of service-oriented computing with cloud computing. In cloud computing, software platforms, applications and data reside in providersí servers called clouds. By making clouds ubiquitously available, a more rapid and low cost access to a shared pool of virtualized and configurable computing resources is offered to enterprises that would like to diversify their application computation and data storage strategies. Service-oriented and cloud computing is this time the main theme for ICSOC 2011. Questions like how does service-oriented computing support the transition to cloud-based solutions, and how does it support Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) models are highlighted for researchers to be discussed during the conference. ICSOC 2011 will bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines to focus on service-oriented, cloud-based innovative for the 21st century enterprises. The conference will feature research and industry presentations, keynote presentations, workshops, demonstrations, tutorials, and a PhD track. Please refer to www.icsoc.org for calls for workshops, demonstrations, and tutorials.

Because any specific network representation (in a specific application) uses different network models and different user modeling, aim of this workshop is to organize a common discussion among different scientific and industrial communities on evolving and secure multi-application personalization. A first problem to address in this kind of scenario is to define accurately what the profile content is and how to represent users' properties and behaviors. Even for mono-application profiles there are several definitions and structure models, content categories and profile creation and enrichment methods. Are these techniques still valid in a multi-application context? The profile management has to be user-centric. The user has to be an active actor and needs to be aware and to be able to control the stored information and its evolution. How to find and group similar profiles to enrich them mutually? Are similar profiles part of the same social community? How the profile modifications caused by an application affect the profile for another application? How to make the profile context-sensitive? The user-centric character of the profile management means also that the actions of the user could affect the profile in an automatic manner. User tasks and action history model has to be taken into account in profile management. Another difficulty with multi-application profiles is the security management due to profile data and structure sharing among different applications. Users must have the possibility to manage the confidentiality of their data in a direct and practical fashion. A credible solution must come with data security management taking into account user needs and application requirements. Which profile content can be shared, modified and used by several applications? What is useful, what is necessary and what is forbidden to be shared? How to guarantee users anonymity and privacy? How to prevent identity disclosure when profile content is shared among applications? Which trust and reputation techniques could be taken into account? ------------------------------------- Nadia Bennani Associate Professor at INSA-Lyon Bat Blaise Pascal- 3etg Bureau 318 7 Rue Capelle 69100 Villeurbanne Mail: nadia.bennani(a)insa-lyon.fr Tel: +33(0)4.72.43.71.41 Fax: +33.(0)4.72.43.87.13

Fwd: [WI] BPD2011: Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] BPD2011: Call for Papers Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:29:43 -0400 From: Michael zur Muehlen <Michael.zurMuehlen(a)stevens.edu> To: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Papers BPD2011 - 7th International Workshop on Business Process Design http://www.bpd-workshops.com/ In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Business Process Management http://bpm2011.isima.fr Aug 28th-Sep 2nd, 2011, Clermont-Ferrand, France Important dates: Paper submission deadline: 30 May 2011 Notification of acceptance: 18 July 2011 Camera ready: 1 August 2011 (for inclusion in pre-proceedings) Workshop day: 29 August 2011 Camera ready for LNBIP proceedings: 19 September 2011 LNBIP proceedings delivery to authors: December 2011 Workshop Background and Goals: Business Process Management (BPM) has been a widely researched domain in the past two decades, with topics such as process modeling, process analysis, and process monitoring, among others, receiving significant academic attention. While these research topics are now in very advanced stages, one critical aspect of BPM has so far attracted limited academic contributions: process design. Process design is the ‚Äòwhite space‚Äô between the as-is and the to-be process models. Designing a process that improves organizational performance is a challenging task that requires a plethora of inputs (for example, organizational strategies, goals, constraints, and IT capabilities, to name a few). It is this act of process improvement that is the most value-adding step in the process lifecycle, however, existing methodologies remain vague about how to actually derive superior process design. The practice of business process design tends to rely on the creativity and previous experience of business professionals to come up with new, improved processes. Because of the variability in creativity levels, experience and tacit knowledge, the outcomes of such efforts are inconsistent and can thus undermine the potential benefits of BPM. The existing more scientific approaches have focused often on only small, well-understood business domains and are either centered around atomic improvement proposals or general reference models. Overall, much more attention is devoted to process modeling techniques and standards than actual value-adding process design. The aim of this workshop is to continue the ongoing and successful discussions of the last six BPD workshops to further nurture a body of knowledge on the disciplined, well-understood and appropriately evaluated design of business processes. Papers that introduce innovative tools for process design, as well as papers that address soft issues (human aspects) and quantitative aspects (e.g. financial evaluation of proposed process improvements), will be particularly welcome. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an interest in advancing the state of the art in process design (in contrast to process modeling or execution). We seek contributions by authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and insightful observations on the subject. Two main categories of submissions will be considered: regular papers and industry papers. Topics: The workshop focuses exclusively on aspects related to process design/improvement within the process lifecycle. This specialization excludes the well-researched process modeling and process execution aspects. Within this specialized scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Process improvement techniques and tools - Process design objectives - Process inefficiency diagnosis - Process improvement patterns - Process design measures and evaluation - Process design in the cloud - Process reference models - Process innovation - Constraints in process design (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance) - Process design governance - Process design for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes) - Process design in collaborative environments - Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process design - Linking process design to organizational strategy and goals - Success factors in process design - Case studies and experiments Paper Submission: Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the areas listed above or other areas related to process improvement. However, papers that do not address process improvement topics will not be considered (e.g., papers dealing exclusively with process modeling, as opposed to process improvement, are not within the scope of this workshop and will be desk rejected). Only papers in English will be accepted, and the length of the paper must not exceed 12 pages. All papers must be formatted in LNBIP format (see http://www.springer.com/series/7911 for details). The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered (preferably using the list of topics above) and must not list author details. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpd11. All submissions must be received no later than May 30th, 2011, and must be in PDF format. All submissions will undergo a double-blind review process and all accepted papers will appear in Springer-Verlag workshop proceedings as a post-proceeding volume in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series.

Fwd: [WI] Call for Papers, edBPM11, 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management, collocated with BPM 2011
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Apr '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers, edBPM11, 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management, collocated with BPM 2011 Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 10:20:30 +0200 From: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> To: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting), you are invited to submit papers for the 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management to be held alongside the Busines Process Management Conference on August 29th 2011 in Clermont-Ferrand, France «Event-Driven Business Process Management» (EDBPM) is an enhancement of Business Process Management (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). 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 the 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 closing the loop of insight-to-action. 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 different enterprises and organisations. Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides important 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 above mentioned problem domain. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not limited to: . Event-driven BPM: Concepts e.g. role of event processing in BPM, business events: types and representation, vent stream processing in business processes, process event processing in CEP, data- and event-driven business processes, event and process interaction patterns . Design-time CEP and BPM e.g. modelling modelling events in human-oriented tasks, semantics/ontologies for event-driven BPM, BPMN and event processing, interaction modelling of process model and event processing network. . Run-time CEP and BPM e.g. event pattern detection, BPEL and event processing, reasoning about unknown/ similar events . Applications/ Use use cases for event-driven BPM e.g. event-driven monitoring/ BAM , event-driven SLA monitoring, context-aware BPM The Workshop is planned as a full-day event, including a keynote, paper presentations, lightning talks, demos, posters, and a moderated, open discussion with the clear goal of agreeing upon a research roadmap for event-driven Business Process Management research, by taking into account new challenges, described earlier. SUBMISSION 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 submissions, 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 / Use case). Papers can be uploaded via the workshop page on easychair, the address can be found on the workshop homepage.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Journal of Information Technology Special Issue - Information Systems: Why History Matters
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Journal of Information Technology Special Issue - Information Systems: Why History Matters Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 09:41:13 +0000 From: Bryant, Tony <A.Bryant(a)leedsmet.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Journal of Information Technology Information Systems: Why History Matters Senior Editors: Antony Bryant Alistair Black Frank Land Jaana Porra Any discipline or field of professional practice has a history. A proper understanding of the discipline needs to be based on a widespread awareness of that history. The field of information systems (IS) is no different in this regard. As the IS field matures, it needs to evolve a historical perspective on its own subject matter. Although there has been some significant work within IS studies that relies upon and uses historical data, there is little by way of information historiography to guide further work and future research. This is ironic given that information systems themselves are now the fons et origo of contemporary (richly demonstrated by the recent WIKILEAKS affair) and future archives. In addition, there is significant reliance upon case studies, and other forms of historical narrative, in IS research and general IS literature. So it is essential that those working within IS studies understand the role and nature of archives and other historical sources, both in terms of a resource for research into information history, and as a topic for discussion amongst archivists, historians, and other information and information system researchers and professionals: Also developing an awareness of the processes underlying the development of archives as social artefacts. The interest in producing IS history encompasses many disciplines and varying perspectives on IS. The IS discipline itself is closely related to other disciplines or research domains, such as information studies, information science, library history, organizational studies, business studies, software engineering (including requirements engineering), HCI, AI, CAD/CAM, criminology, social studies, behavioural sciences, economics and communication studies - although all too often these links are ignored or simply forgotten. In so doing, the IS community is missing an opportunity to engage with, and learn from, others with differing perspectives on topics of common interest. Furthermore, this engenders an uneasy feeling that many current IS issues and concerns might be at least partially resolved with a better knowledge and understanding of 'information history' in its broadest sense. The purpose of this special issue is to provide a broad based platform for an IS historical discourse. Thus, we welcome contributions from all fields that are concerned with the IS subject matter. While many aspects and areas of IS studies rely on historical data, evidence and archives, the common goal is to produce a body of IS history. In this spirit, we invite contributions on a variety of topics related to IS history. Such topics may touch upon fundamental philosophical questions such as: What is IS history? At a more practical level, they may include areas such as: * the development of information history as a multidisciplinary research effort * an analysis of historical approaches and methods and what these can provide for the IS researcher * the existence of primary sources for IS history, and associated problems of access and methodology * the nature of the archive * good examples of the use of historiographic approaches to IS studies * previously unpublished histories * the study of the evolution of the IS disciplines * how the boundaries of the discipline were set and defined * the study of the evolution of IS organization, practice and management, including such practices as outsourcing * the study of the evolution of the IS profession * the study of the evolution of the role of information systems and professionals in organizations * the study of the evolution of IS design methodologies * the study of evolution of IS applications * exploring the management of change * the importance of understanding the pre-history of IS as currently defined, including continuities or contrasts with earlier pre-computer phases, technologies and systems * the study of IS innovation and diffusion including: stages of growth models; the study of IS success and failure; use and policies around public and private archives * information archives in the age of Freedom of Information legislation, PR and spin * the use of history as an instrument for understanding the present and planning the future; and the consequent dangers of 'presentism' * the inevitability of the 'double hermeneutic' in unravelling the historical record ASSOCIATE EDITORS Frank Bannister, Trinity College, Dublin Rudy Hirschheim, Distinguished Professor of Information Systems at the EJ Ourso College of Business Administration at Louisiana State University, USA Nathalie Mitev, Department of Information Systems, LSE, UK Neil Pollock, Reader in e-business, University of Edinburgh, UK Neil Ramiller Professor of Management, School of Business Administration, Portland State University Boyd Rayward, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois, USA Burt Swanson, Professor and Area Chair for Information Systems at the UCLA Anderson School, USA Toni Weller, Visiting Research Fellow in History, Department of Historical and Social Studies, De Montfort University, UK DEADLINES& SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Information about JIT, including formatting requirements, can be found at http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jit/index.html Questions about the special issue can be directed to Tony Bryant a.bryant(a)leedsmet.ac.uk Papers should be submitted to JIT [JITedoffice(a)lse.ac.uk] with the title of the Special Issue in the Subject Line.

CfP Workshop "Wirtschaftlichkeit und Wertbeitrag von Informationssystemen" (WWI 2011) Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 13:07:38 +0000 From: Strecker, Stefan, Dr. <stefan.strecker(a)uni-due.de> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> Erinnerung an die Einladung zur Einreichung von Beiträgen für den 2. Workshop "Wirtschaftlichkeit und Wertbeitrag von Informationssystemen" http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/WWI2011 im Rahmen der Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., INFORMATIK 2011, 4.10.2011, TU Berlin. Die Entwicklung, Einführung, Nutzung und Wartung betrieblicher Informationssysteme zielt auf eine möglichst wirtschaftliche Unterstützung betrieblicher Entscheidungen, Handlungen und Abläufe. Der Einsatz betrieblicher Informationssysteme soll die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Handelns in Unternehmen verbessern und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen befördern. Die Auffassung betrieblicher Informationssysteme als Mensch-Aufgabe-Technik-Systeme legt eine methodische Unterstützung nahe, die den Spezifika betrieblicher Informationssysteme in Bezug auf ihre Wirtschaftlichkeit und ihren Wertbeitrag Rechnung trägt. Dazu zählt u.a. die Analyse des umgebenden organisatorischen Handlungssystems, in dem menschliche und maschinelle Aufgabenträger einen Wirkungsverbund bilden. Das Programmkomitee lädt Beiträge ein, die sich mit der Entwicklung und dem Einsatz von Verfahren, Methoden und allgemein Konzeptionen auseinandersetzen, die darauf gerichtet sind, die Wirtschaftlichkeit von Informationssystemen und ihren Beitrag zur Zielerreichung etwa zur Verbesserung der Service-Qualität von Unternehmen zu erheben und/oder zu befördern. Der Workshop richtet sich an Wissenschaftler und an akademisch interessierte Praktiker, die an den Themen IV-Controlling, IT/Business Value, IT/Business Alignment, Performanzmessung und wertorientierte Software-Entwicklung interessiert sind. Er wird von der Fachgruppe IT-Controlling im Fachbereich Wirtschaftsinformatik der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. unterstützt. Wichtige Termine 24.04.2011: Einreichungsschluss für Beiträge über das Konferenzmanagementsystem der INFORMATIK 2011. 23.05.2011: Mitteilung über Annahme/Ablehnung von eingereichten Manuskripten. 01.07.2011: Einreichung, der auf Grundlage der Gutachten überarbeiteten finalen Fassung (fertige Druckvorlage) für den Tagungsband. 04.10.2011: Workshop in Berlin (Termin wird Anfang Juni 2011 fixiert).
