-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP ADKDD2011 Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2011 02:12:55 +0200 (CEST) From: Martine De Cock <Martine.DeCock(a)UGent.be> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de THE FIFTH ANNUAL INTERNATION WORKSHOP ON DATA MINING AND AUDIENCE INTELLIGENCE FOR ONLINE ADVERTISING (ADKDD 2011) Held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (SIGKDD '11) WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Online advertising is a key component in the whole internet ecosystem and is growing rapidly with constantly evolving business models and practices. Examples of online advertising include sponsored search, display advertising, rich media ads, social network advertising, interstitial ads, online classified advertising, e-mail marketing and so on. This fertile economic environment brought about large volumes of data along with challenging data mining problems. Understanding end users' need and advertisers' goals, as well as figuring out the right strategy to connect user and ads for each type of advertising, will benefit all players in advertising marketplaces and enable technologies for the right advertisement to be delivered to the right users at the right time. Driven by this goal, breakthrough data mining methodologies and applications will appear in the advertising domain. Therefore, a forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange latest research results and construct collaborations will be of great service to the data mining community and generate value for the industry. Following on the success of the four previous ADKDD Workshops, ADKDD 2011 will be held in San Diego CA, in conjunction with KDD 2011, to provide a high-level international forum for the academic community and the industry to present the state of the art of algorithms and applications of advertising. Papers on all aspects of data mining and audience intelligence for advertising are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Mining for Ad Relevance and Ranking; Audience Intelligence& User Modeling; Content Understanding; Search Engine Marketing, Optimization and Other Topics in Advertising.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] MKWI 2012 - CfP Teilkonferenz "IT Performance Management / IT-Controlling" Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2011 08:01:56 +0000 From: Baumöl, Ulrike <Ulrike.Baumoel(a)FernUni-Hagen.de> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, wir freuen uns, Sie über unsere Teilkonferenz auf der MKWI 2012 in Braunschweig zu informieren und zur Einreichung von Beiträgen einzuladen: Teilkonferenz "IT Performance Management / IT-Controlling" auf der Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (MKWI) 2012, http://mkwi2012.de/ 29.02.-02.03.2012 an der Technischen Universität Braunschweig Leitung der Teilkonferenz: Prof. Dr. Ulrike Baumöl, FernUniversität in Hagen, Prof. Dr. Walter Brenner, Universität St. Gallen, Prof. Dr. Lutz Kolbe, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Dr. Stefan Strecker, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Zarnekow, Technische Universität Berlin Inhalt: Der Wertbeitrag und die Wirtschaftlichkeit von IT sind die zentralen Themen des IT Managements, ganz gleich, ob die Wirtschaft sich in einer Krise befindet oder das Umfeld durch einen Aufschwung gekennzeichnet ist. Die Investitionen in die IT sind so substantiell und das auszuschöpfende Kostensenkungs- und Flexibilisierungspotenzial so hoch, dass eine kontinuierliche und konsequente Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen wichtig und relevant ist. Somit sind die Themenbereiche Industrialisierung durch neue Betriebs- und Dienstleistungskonzepte sowie Standardisierungen, Komplexitätsmanagement und Wirtschaftlichkeitssteuerung, aber auch der Einsatz der IT, um eine effiziente Entscheidungsunterstützung zu gewährleisten, nach wie vor hochaktuell. Dazu kommen Methoden und Ansätze in verschiedenen Bereichen zum Einsatz, die inzwischen eine gewisse Reife erreicht haben, aber oftmals noch einen effizienten Steuerungsansatz vermissen lassen. Zu den Effizienztreibern gehören innovative Modellierungsansätze für Accounting Information Systems, Architekturkonzepte, die Entwicklung und Integration von Software, der standardisierte Betrieb, das Angebot von IT-Dienstleistungen, aber auch das Projektmanagement und Fragen der Governance und des Auditing. Das Programmkomitee der Teilkonferenz "IT Performance Management / IT-Controlling" lädt zur Einreichung von Originalbeiträgen ein, die sich mit der Entwicklung, dem Einsatz und der Evaluation von Konzepten, Modellen, Methoden und allgemein Ansätzen auseinandersetzen, die darauf gerichtet sind, den Herausforderungen des IT-Controllings zu begegnen. Die Teilkonferenz ist für alle forschungsmethodischen Herangehensweisen offen (z. B. auch Fallstudienforschung und gestaltungsorientierte Forschungsansätze) und berücksichtigt neben wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen auch anspruchsvolle Praxisberichte, für die ein gesondertes Begutachtungsverfahren durchgeführt wird. An wissenschaftliche Beiträge werden die üblichen Anforderungen nach Begründung, Abstraktion, Kritik und Originalität gestellt. Es können daher nur solche Beiträge berücksichtigt werden, die zuvor nicht (auch nicht auszugsweise oder in leicht variierter Form) anderweitig veröffentlicht wurden oder sich anderweitig in Begutachtung befinden. Mögliche Themen für Forschungsbeiträge sowie Erfahrungsberichte: -Strategisches IT-Controlling zur Steuerung des Business/IT-Alignments Controllingkonzepte und TCO-Betrachtungen für Service-orientierte Architekturen (SOA) IT-Controlling und die Schwesterdisziplin "Accounting Information Systems" -IT-Governance, IT-Compliance, IT-Auditing und IT-Risikomanagement -Ansätze zur Steuerung der Wirtschaftlichkeit des Architekturmanagements -Organisations- und Controllingkonzepte im Bereich Software as a Service (SaaS) und Cloud Computing -IT-Controlling der Virtualisierung -Empirische Untersuchungen zur Veränderung von Controllingsystemen aufgrund von neuen Technologien und Managementmethoden -Kalkulation, Leistungsverrechnung und Preisbildung von IT-Leistungen und IT-Produkten -Innovative IT-Kennzahlensysteme, innovative Budgetierungsansätze im Kontext der IT, z. B. Dynamic Budgeting Fallstudien zur Umsetzung von IT-Controlling-Ansätzen -Steuerungskonzepte im Bereich IT-Outsourcing, IT-Offshoring, IT-Nearshoring oder Backsourcing -Verfahren erweiterter Wirtschaftlichkeit -Erfolgs"begriff für das Informationsmanagement (z.B. Wertbeitrag der IT, Ansätze der Nutzenerhebung und -evaluation) -u.v.m. Begutachtungsprozess und Einreichung Beiträge können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden und müssen exakt der vorgegebenen Formatvorlage entsprechen. Dabei darf eine Länge von 12 Seiten weder bei der eingereichten Fassung noch bei der finalen Fassung überschritten werden. Einreichungen müssen auf dem Deckblatt erkennbar entweder als wissenschaftlicher Beitrag oder als Praxisbericht ausgewiesen sein. Die Einreichung erfolgt ausschließlich über das Einreichungssystem der Konferenz MKWI 2012. Jede wissenschaftliche Einreichung wird mindestens zweifach begutachtet. Die Begutachtung erfolgt doppeltblind. Die Autoren wissenschaftlicher Einreichungen sind daher verpflichtet, ihre Beiträge vollständig zu anonymisieren und darüber hinaus alle identifizierenden Merkmale im eingereichten Dokument (z. B. Metadaten) zu entfernen. Angenommene Beiträge erscheinen im Tagungsband der Konferenz MKWI 2012. Jeder Praxisbericht wird mindestens einfach begutachtet. Die Begutachtung erfolgt einfach-blind. Die Autoren von Praxisberichten sollten daher auf dem Deckblatt ihrer Beiträge alle relevanten Kontaktinformationen nennen. Angenommene Praxisberichte werden gesondert veröffentlicht (ggfs. online) und erscheinen nicht im Tagungsband. Best-Paper-Award und Best-Young-Researcher-Paper-Award Ein durch das Programmkomitee angenommener wissenschaftlicher Beitrag kann mit dem Best-Paper-Award des Tracks und ein angenommener wissenschaftlicher Beitrag eines jungen Wissenschaftlers (alle Autoren jünger als 35 Jahre) mit dem Best-Young-Researcher-Paper-Award ausgezeichnet werden. Das Programmkomitee möchte damit insbesondere junge Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler zur Einreichung von Beiträgen auffordern.

Auf der Entwicklungsseite scheinen trotz anfänglicher Zurückhaltung verstärkt Service-basierte Paradigmen (wie z. B. SoA, Web Services) Einzug zu halten. Auf der Nutzungsseite zeichnet sich ab, dass on-demand-basierte Applikations-Services (wie z. B. Software-as-a-Service) bzw. Infrastruktur-Services (wie z. B. Storage oder Utility Computing Services) gegenüber konventionellen Modellen zunehmend an Boden gewinnen. Nicht zuletzt lassen sich mit dem Entstehen von sog. Software-Ökosystemen bzw. -Plattformen (z. B. Force.com von Salesforce.com, Business ByDesign von SAP und Apples' AppStore) Veränderungen auf der Ebene ganzer Wertschöpfungsstrukturen erkennen. Entlang der Wertschöpfungsstufen (von der Entwicklung bis zur Nutzung von Software) und Aggregationsebenen (vom granularen Einzel-Service bis hin zum komplexen Software-Ökosystem) werden zahlreiche Fragen an der Nahtstelle von Betriebswirtschaft und Informatik aufgeworfen. Die Teilkonferenz "Software-as-a-Service und Cloud Computing" befasst sich mit den aus Perspektive der Wirtschaftsinformatik relevanten Aspekten der Entwicklung, Nutzung und Bewertung von Services im Kontext von SaaS und Cloud Computing und adressiert dabei Forscher und Praktiker gleichermaßen. Interdisziplinäre Arbeiten sind dabei ausdrücklich erwünscht. *Mögliche Themen für Beiträge:* · * Design, Entwicklung und Betrieb von Services * Methoden, Techniken und Tools zur automatisierten Service-Zusammenstellung und --Erbringung * Herausforderungen für Software-Unternehmen hinsichtlich einer wachsenden Service-Orientierung wie z. B. neue Fertigkeiten/Programmierparadigmen, Mitarbeiterprofile/Qualifikationen, Service Operations etc. * Preispolitik für Software- und Dienstleistungsanbieter * Industrialisierung der Entwicklung von Services * Inter-organisationale Service-Systeme und -Netzwerke (Service value networks) * Wandel von Wertschöpfungsstrukturen in der Software Industrie (Service Ecosystems, Service Plattformen) * Service Innovation Methods - Prozesse/Methoden zur Invention neuer Services in Unternehmen * Integration von Services in bestehende IT-Anwendungslandschaften (Back-End und Front-End) * Orchestrierung verteilter Services im Rahmen eines Business Process Management * IT-Compliance und Datenschutzstrategien für Cloud-Computing * Ermittlung des optimalen Standardisierungsgrades von Services in unterschiedlichen Anwendungskontexten (z. B. dynamische vs. statische) * Evaluation und Bewertung des Einsatzes von Services entlang unterschiedlicher Dimensionen wie z. B. Qualität, Performance, Kosten etc. * Fallstudien zur Nutzung und des Einsatzes von Services (SaaS bzw. Cloud Computing) in Unternehmen *Programmkommitee:* ·* Alexander Benlian, LMU München (Leitung) * Peter Buxmann, TU Darmstadt * Simon Caton, KIT * Thomas Hess, LMU München * André Miede, BearingPoint * Günter Müller, Universität Freiburg * Matthias Schumann, Universität Göttingen * Christoph Weinhardt, KIT * Thomas Widjaja, TU Darmstadt * Rüdiger Zarnekow, TU Berlin *Beiträge:* Beiträge werden in deutscher Sprache verfasst.

Die technologische Basis virtueller Realitäten bilden 3D-Interaktionsräume, kombiniert mit Avatar-Repräsentation und Voice-over-IP, die die Reichhaltigkeit und Interaktivität bestehender Web-Anwendungen bei weitem übersteigen. Die erhöhte Interaktivität und soziale Präsenz fördern die Entstehung von Immersion, dem Eindruck “gemeinsam dort zu sein”. Der Einsatz von virtuellen Realitäten findet auch verstärkt Anwendungen im Unternehmensbereich (bspw. bei IBM und HP), um zum Beispiel die Innovationsleistung und -fähigkeit zu fördern und zu nutzen. Damit einhergehend erkennen Organisationen immer stärker den Wert von Spielen und Spielmechanismen an, um positive Effekte wie eine gesteigerte Partizipationsmotivation sowie eine gesteigerte Kreativität zu bewirken. Für die Wirtschaftsinformatik eröffnet sich mit Computerspielen und virtuellen Realitäten ein neues Untersuchungsfeld mit einer Vielzahl von Forschungsfragen. In dem geplanten Track sollen dabei zwei Bereiche fokussiert werden: * Untersucht werden soll zum einen die Nutzung von Spielen und virtuellen Realitäten im Unternehmenskontext. * Zum zweiten besteht Bedarf an wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen für die Entwicklung, das Management, den Betrieb sowie den Einsatz von virtuellen Realitäten und Spielen bzw. Spielmechanismen. Spezifische Themenfelder: Der Track auf der MKWI soll der Konsolidierung der bisherigen Forschung dienen und einen Ausgangspunkt für die weitere systematische Bearbeitung dieses Themenfeldes markieren. Beiträge können sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch ausgerichtet sein. Sie können die folgenden Aspekte thematisieren, sind aber nicht auf diese eingeschränkt: * Soziale Vernetzung und Kommunikation in virtuellen Realitäten * Communities im Kontext von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen * Kollaborative Wertschöpfung und Entrepreneurship in virtuellen Realitäten * Anwendung virtueller Realitäten in der Unternehmenskommunikation und -kollaboration sowie in der Aus- und Weiterbildung * Computerspiele und virtuelle Welten im Innovationsprozess * Geschäftsmodelle in der Gaming Industrie, Geschäftsmodelle auf Basis virtueller Welten * Virtuelle Welten und Computerspiele als Instrumente des Lernen und Verlernens * Design, Entwicklung und Betrieb von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen * Wirkung und Interdependenzen von Spieldynamiken und -mechanismen * Adoption und Benutzerakzeptanz von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen * Vertrauen und Transparenz in virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen * Kreativität und Motivation in Computerspielen * Serious Games *Programmgestaltung:* Die Beiträge sollen maximal 12 Seiten lang sein und in Deutsch oder Englisch bisher noch nicht veröffentlichte Forschungsergebnisse darstellen. Die akzeptierten Beiträge werden als Conference-Proceedings veröffentlicht. Erfahrungsberichte mit Neuigkeits- und Alleinstellungsmerkmalen sowie interdisziplinäre Beiträge sind willkommen. Ziel ist eine Mischung theoretischer und praktischer Arbeiten. Alle Beiträge werden in anonymisierter Form von zwei Mitgliedern des Programmkomitees begutachtet. Einreichungen aus dem Programmkomitee sind zulässig. *Kontakt:* Inhaltlich: Stefan.Stieglitz(a)uni-muenster.de Organisation: Danny.Pannicke(a)tu-berlin.de *Fristen:* Einreichung von Beiträgen: 15.09.2011 Benachrichtigung der Autoren: 15.11.2011 Abgabe der Druckversion: 15.12.2011 *Leitung:* Prof. Dr. Stefan Stieglitz (Universität Münster) Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Zarnekow (TU Berlin) *Programmkomitee:* Prof. Dr. Christoph Lattemann (Jacobs University Bremen) Prof. Dr. Ulrike Lechner (Universität der Bundeswehr München) Prof. Dr. Stefan Stieglitz (Universität Münster) Prof. Dr. Susanne Strahringer (TU Dresden) Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Zarnekow (TU Berlin) Dr. Christian Scheiner (Universität Nürnberg-Erlangen) Dipl.-Wirt.-Inf.

The goals of the ICSOC PhD Symposium are: - To bring together PhD students and established researchers in the field of service oriented computing. - To enable PhD students to interact with other PhD students and to stimulate an exchange of ideas, suggestions, and experiences among participants. - To give PhD students the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive and critical atmosphere. - To provide students with fruitful feedback and advice on their research approach and thesis. We particularly encourage students that are still developing their research methodology or are somewhere in the middle of their research program to submit to this symposium. Only active PhD students are eligible to submit, and topics are restricted to their doctoral work within the scope of the ICSOC conference. The symposium in Paphos, Cyprus will be the 7th PhD Symposium of the series held in conjunction with the ICSOC conferences in San Francisco, USA (2010), Stockholm, Sweden (2009), Sydney, Australia (2008), Vienna, Austria (2007), Chicago, USA (2006), and Amsterdam, the Netherlands (2005). ***SUBMISSION FORMAT AND PROCEEDINGS*** Submitted papers should give a clear description of the PhD work being conducted by the author of the paper. In particular, papers must: - Provide a clear problem statement. - Outline the research challenges that drive the proposed work. - Describe the proposed solution, its expected impact, the expected research plan, and -- if available -- preliminary results. - Discuss the progress beyond the state of the art of the envisioned research outcome compared to current literature and approaches (cite key papers). Each paper must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and must be at most 6 pages in length (strictly enforced). Submissions must be single-author, and the name of the supervisor(s) must be clearly marked ("supervised by ...") under the author's name. Papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the PhD Symposium track in the ICSOC submission system. Accepted papers will be included in the ICSOC 2011 post-conference proceedings of satellite events, to be published by Springer as part of the Service Science series. ***REVIEW PROCESS AND FORMAT OF THE SYMPOSIUM*** Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the PhD Symposium Program Committee. The main evaluation criteria are: relevance to service-oriented computing, potential for impact, quality of proposed research. The selection of papers will be based on these criteria.

"Patterns" have been used to capture knowledge of software development, concerning software architectures, component designs and programs, and more recently requirements engineering too. This workshop provides an open forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and experience, regarding pattern-based approaches to capturing, organizing, and reusing all aspects of requirements engineering-related knowledge, from both product and process perspectives. Submissions of specific patterns of all requirements engineering-related knowledge are encouraged. Examples of such patterns include, but not limited to, patterns of requirements modeling, requirements engineering process/activities, application/domain-specific or application/domain-independent requirements, FRs/NFRs/goals/social aspects, and the transitioning from requirements to architectures/designs. This workshop also welcomes technical papers, including full and position research papers, experience reports, empirical and case studies that report findings on requirements pattern-related topics, including, but not limited to, capturing, harvesting, mining, cataloging, organizing, searching, reusing and applying patterns, quality of patterns, pattern management and tool support. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Model-Driven Requirements Engineering (MoDRE) http://cserg0.site.uottawa.ca/modre2011/ Submission Deadline: June 1, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Gunter Mussbacher, Carleton University, Canada Pablo Sanchez, Universidad de Cantabria, Spain Joao Araujo, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal Ana Moreira, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal Model-Driven Development (MDD) is a new paradigm for software development where models are no longer simple mediums for describing software systems or only facilitating inter-team communication. In MDD, models become first-class citizens, and a software system is obtained through the definition of different models at different abstraction layers. Models of a certain abstraction layer are derived from models of the upper abstraction layer by means of automatic model transformations, providing faster and more reliable results. MDD processes that explicitly include requirements models are rarely found as the main achievements of MDD have been related to the design and implementation levels. Nevertheless, Requirements Engineering (RE) could also benefit from model-driven techniques. For instance, model transformations may be used to ensure consistency between different kinds of requirements models (e.g., goal models, scenario models, domain models), to automatically construct initial system or architectural models from requirements (e.g., by deriving a more detailed UML model from a goal or scenario model), or to increase separation of concerns (e.g., MDD solutions may be applied more concisely to RE models with clearly separated concerns). This inaugural Model-Driven Requirements Engineering (MoDRE) workshop provides a forum to discuss the challenges of MDD for RE. Building on the success of MDD for design and implementation, RE may benefit from MDD techniques when properly balancing flexibility for capturing varied user needs with formal rigidity required for model transformations as well as high-level abstraction with information richness. MoDRE intends to identify new challenges, discuss on-going work and potential solutions, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of MDD approaches for RE with the help of a case study problem that is used during the workshop to stimulate discussions and to apply MDD approaches for RE. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Requirements Engineering Education and Training (REET) http://www.ecs.westminster.ac.uk/REET11 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Joy Beatty, Seilevel, USA Ljerka Beus-Dukic, University of Westminster, UK Requirements Engineering Education and Training 2011 (REET'11) will address issues related to RE education, both as part of a formal university degree and as ongoing skills training within the workplace. The workshop is intended to go much deeper than a surface discussion of curriculum issues and will examine specific ideas and techniques for teaching and assessing skills needed by an effective requirements engineer. The format of the workshop will include full papers, position papers, and pedagogical papers and activities that can be demonstrated during the workshop. The intent is to involve workshop attendees in performing the activities as well as interactive discussions about the topic. Workshop topics may include curriculum development and creative contributions related to pedagogical techniques for teaching RE skills and could take the form of experience reports or demonstrations of specific teaching techniques and training materials. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Service-Oriented Computing: Consequences for Engineering Requirements (SOCCER) http://home.dei.polimi.it/baresi/soccer11 Submission Deadline: May 12, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Luciano Baresi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Neil Maiden, City University, London, UK The objective of the SOCCER'2010 workshop is to host significant and high-quality contributions in all topics related to requirements engineering for service-oriented software, with the goal of letting participants gain insights into the current state of the art and future challenges, create synergies through integration, and foster cross-cooperation. As well as continuing to build a community of researchers interested in requirements engineering and service-oriented software, the workshop will continue the development of a research agenda to guide and support researchers in the relevant fields. The workshop welcomes both full papers and position papers. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Requirements Engineering for E-Voting Systems (REVOTE) http://ed.fbk.eu/revote Submission Deadline: May 25, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rudiger Grimm, University of Koblenz Koblenz, Germany Melanie Volkamer, Technische Universitat Darmstadt, Germany Komminist Weldemariam, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy The integrity and assurance of a complex and safety-critical systems correct behavior with respect to specification can be achieved, if good engineering practices are appropriately devised and used. With respect to this, there are a number of engineering approaches to tackle (some of) the issues existed in the domain. This workshop aims to identify best practice for the engineering of electronic voting (e-voting) system requirements and business process models, and to improve the current specification and development of the e-voting system standards and accreditation (certification) processes. Particular attention will be given to the (formal) analysis of voting requirements documents (e.g., recommendations, standards and guidelines), including those that pre-date e-voting. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Requirements Engineering for Social Computing (RESC) http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/resc11 Submission Deadline: May 27, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Amit K. Chopra, University of Trento, Italy Fabiano Dalpiaz, University of Trento, Italy Soo Ling Lim, University College, London, UK The Web was conceptualized as a database. It has since evolved into a platform for conducting business transactions. Today, we are witnessing it evolve into a social platform, where autonomous actors -- humans, organizations, and their software surrogates -- engage each other in both business and social interactions. In short, we are moving away from a data-centric model to an actor-centric one. The evolution though has been largely ad hoc. The purpose behind this workshop is to shed light on the semantic foundations of social computing. In particular, the focus is on the identification of new requirements engineering challenges and their solutions. We invite contributions on (1) the modeling of interactions among actors, with an emphasis on high-level concepts such as trust, commitments, and contracts, (2) social middleware that supports interaction among actors, and (3) actor models and strategies keeping in mind interaction and social considerations. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Software Product Management (IWSPM) http://2011.iwspm.org/ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Marjo Kauppinen, Aalto University, Finland Krzysztof Wnuk, Lund University, Sweden Software product management is the discipline of managing software-intensive products across their life-cycle. It includes working with requirements, release definitions, product lifecycles, the creation and interpretation of product strategies, balancing long-term technology push with shorter-term market-pull, and assuring a successful business case by selecting the right requirement for realization. Software product management is complex: there are any intra- and inter-organizational stakeholders and many responsibilities. Currently, there is no formalized education on software product management and only a small, but growing, body of scientific knowledge. Following the success of the 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 workshops in conjunction with the respective RE-conferences, the IWSPM 2011 workshop shall continue to increase the body of knowledge for software product management by providing a forum to exchange ideas and publish research results. It will build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts. Software product management is not only relevant for pure software companies and companies that develop software intensive systems, but also for companies that provide services to customers using long-lived software infrastructures. The field of software product management is relatively unexplored from both the scientific and industrial perspectives. IWSPM brings together researchers and industrial representatives for the purpose of exchanging ideas and to iteratively guide the research agenda based on industry needs. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Requirements Engineering and Law (RELAW) http://relaw2011.dke.univie.ac.at Submission Deadline: June 10, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Annie Anton, North Carolina State University (NCSU), USA David Baumer, North Carolina State University (NCSY), USA Travis Breaux, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Dimitris Karagiannis, University of Vienna, Austria The objective of the workshop is to foster the discussion related to requirements engineering triggered by any legal regulation or law. For the enrichment of information systems with requirements derived from the regulations needed, a formalization of said is necessary and is resolved by interpretation, focused discussion, negotiation and reconciliation on the part of professionals with diverse viewpoints: business managers, engineers, lawyers and regulators. This means an active and continuous process: "Governance in Motion". Today's rapidly changing environment which is accompanied by remarkable technology innovation and presupposes easy and quick access to information, new communication models, and increasing dependence on collaboration and cooperation motivates the discussion further on. Additionally this environment presents new challenges in trustworthy computing, regulatory compliance, and highly flexible business processes with traceability and accountability that require new and enhanced concepts, frameworks and tools for business and software engineering. The single organization will need to actively steer and determine its organizational structures and processes on a permanent basis to ensure the attainment of its strategy and targets. Compliance to legal regulations is part of the organization's governance and requirements incorporated in law need to be addressed in business and information technology (IT). The fourth RELAW workshop is a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that brings together practitioners and researchers from two domains: Requirements Engineering and Law. Participants from government, industry and academic sectors investigate challenges to ensure that information systems comply with policies and laws. The workshop will probe important issues, including the processes for identifying relevant policies, laws and jurisdictions, aligning laws with system requirements, managing requirements and changes in the law and demonstrating how systems comply with relevant laws through evidence-based mechanisms such as documentation, testing and certification. For the first time since the workshop's inception, RELAW will include a separate track from the requirements engineering research and industry papers to include submissions from law scholars to address emerging IT challenges in today's regulatory environment. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Requirements(a)run.time http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~bencomo/RRT/ Submission Deadline: June 13, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Nelly Bencomo, INRIA (France) and Lancaster University (UK) Jon Whittle, Lancaster University (UK) Emmanuel Letier, University College London (UK) Anthony Finkelstein, University College London (UK) Requirements(a)run.time will explore a radical challenge to the traditional view of requirements models as static, slowly-evolving and purely design-time entities. requirements(a)run.time will explore the potential for runtime abstractions and models of requirements as a practical means to address the challenges posed by volatile or poorly-understood environmental contexts. These include (e.g.) business environments that are subject to dramatic and unforeseen economic conditions, or physical environments that may be remote and hostile to humans and computers. For such systems, detailed a-priori domain understanding is not achievable at design-time. This inevitably acts against the formulation of stable requirements. Rather, the requirements will need to be revised and reappraised over periods too short to be achieved by off-line adaptive maintenance. To achieve this, systems will need to maintain requirements models that are dynamic, runtime entities that support reasoning, sometimes with the aid of human, and sometimes not, so that the systems can respond in appropriate ways to changes in their environments. requirements(a)run.time takes its cue from important recent work in a number of areas, including requirements monitoring, computational reflection, self-adaptive systems and multi-objective reasoning. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Empirical Requirements Engineering (EmpiRE) http://selab.fbk.eu/empire2011 Submission Deadline: June 1, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Maya Daneva, University of Twente, The Netherlands Vincenzo Gervasi, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy Andrea Herrmann, Axivion, Germany Alessandro Marchetto, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy Oscar Pastor, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain Marco Torchiano, Politecnico of Torino, Torino, Italy The first International Workshop on Empirical Requirements Engineering (EmpiRE 2011) encourages the cross-fertilization between Requirements Engineering and Empirical Software Engineering. On one side, EmpiRE promotes the exchange of ideas to understand why and how empirical methods from Empirical Software Engineering can assess and improve existing or new approaches in Requirements Engineering. On the other side, EmpiRE intends to push toward new evaluation techniques, domains and problems for exercising empirical methods or building new ones. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Requirements Engineering for Systems and Systems-of-Systems (RESS) http://re.cs.depaul.edu/RESS Submission Deadline: May 16, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Brian Berenbach, Siemens Corporate Research, USA Jane Cleland-Huang, DePaul University, USA Janice Hill, Florida Institute of Technology, USA Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field focused on the design and implementation of large and complex systems. A System-of-systems integrates a set of otherwise independent and self-contained systems that pool their resources in order to meet a common goal. Such systems include transportation systems, hospital networks, "smart" buildings, large scale defense systems, as well as systems from many other domains. Managing requirements for such projects can be extremely complex and challenging as requirements must be addressed not only for individual components, but also for the overall infrastructure, interfaces, and governance of the system. As an emerging area of research, Requirements Engineering for systems and systems-of-systems represents a critical discipline in which methodologies, thought processes, frames of reference, and technology support are still emerging. This workshop therefore invites contributions addressing issues, challenges, and solutions related to requirements engineering for such systems. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Multimedia and Enjoyable Requirements Engineering (MERE) http://www.mere-workshop.org/ Submission Deadline: May 26, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Oliver Creighton, Siemens, Germany David Callele, TRLabs Saskatchewan, Canada Olly Gotel, Independent Researcher, USA MERE strives to make requirements engineering more engaging, desirable and rewarding in order to increase its impact on the value creation chain. Improving the interactions and interactivity between stakeholders will allow requirements engineers to accommodate a more diverse audience, thereby facilitating improved input to requirements development as early and often as practical. As communication can occur in forms other than written or spoken natural language, such as facial expression or gesture, we draw inspiration for processes and representations from domains as diverse as the movie and game industries, storytelling, improvisation theater, industrial design, marketing, and media production. MERE provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange new and innovative ideas relating to challenges in the domain. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Managing Requirements Knowledge (MaRK) http://www1.cs.tum.edu/mark11/ Submission Deadline: May 20, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Walid Maalej, Technical University of Munich, Germany Anil Kumar Thurimella, Harman International, Germany MaRK'11 focuses on potentials and benefits of lightweight knowledge management approaches, such as ontologies, semantic Wikis, recommender systems, and rationale management techniques - applied to requirements engineering. The workshop discusses emerging ideas, methodologies, frameworks, tools, as well as industrial experiences for capturing, representing, sharing, and reusing tacit knowledge in requirements engineering. Furthermore, the workshop provides an interactive exchange platform between the knowledge management communities, requirements engineering community, and industrial practitioners. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems (FMICS) http://events.fortiss.org/fmics2011/ Submission Deadline: March 25, 2011 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Gwen Salauen, Grenoble INP - INRIA Grenoble (Rhone-Alpes) - LIG, France Bernhard Schaetz, fortiss GmbH, Germany The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] WeRE 2011 - CFP Date: Wed, 06 Apr 2011 13:13:58 +0200 From: Jose-Norberto Mazon <jnmazon(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: jnmazon(a)dlsi.ua.es To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 2nd International Workshop on The Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE'11) http://gplsi.dlsi.ua.es/congresos/were11 In conjuntion with 11th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2011) Paphos, Cyprus, July 20-21, 2011 Conference Web Site: http://icwe2011.webengineering.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motivation& Purpose ------------------------------- The International Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE) will offer an international forum for exchanging ideas on both using Web technologies as a platform for requirements engineering, and applying requirements engineering in the development and use of web-based applications. We invite to submit original, high-quality papers that present on-going work on new ideas and experiences with Requirements Engineering and the Web. The workshop will focus on discussion and exchange of ideas among researchers, designers, and users who are working or are interested in any combination of these two main topics. In the last decade, the number and complexity of web-based applications and the amount of information they offer has been growing exponentially. In the context of Software Engineering, design methods and methodologies have been introduced to support the development of these complex applications in a systematic way. However, most of these methodologies focus on design and neglect other tasks, notably requirement analysis and quality management. However, in the development of traditional (non-web) applications both practitioners and process experts regard requirements engineering as a phase of crucial importance in the development process. It is well-known that the most common and time-consuming errors as well as the most expensive ones to repair, are those caused by inadequate engineering of requirements. Moreover, web-based applications demand new requirements engineering techniques that need to be adapted to a large, open and changing community of, can deal with navigational requirements and broad in scope so that they can account for business processes as well as web usability. These new techniques will need to offer more participatory environments to support effective collaboration among stakeholders. In this context, the Web (especially Web 2.0 applications), provide a convenient platform to allow stakeholders and users alike more active participation in requirements engineering. Topics of interest ----------------------- The scope of the WeRE workshop includes but is not limited to: -Web requirements elicitation and analysis-Web requirements validation and verification -Web engineering methods and tools supporting requirements-Traceability in Web requirements-Modeling of requirements, goals, and domains in Web engineering-Prototyping and simulation in Web requirements engineering-Evolution of Web requirements-Alignment between business and Web requirements-Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in Web requirements engineering -User-centred analysis and design-Domain specific modelling languages addressing requirements for Web applications-Web 2.0 and requirements engineering-Requirements engineering for rich internet applications-Model-driven approaches based on requirements models for Web applications and rich internet applicationsSubmission Guidelines ---------------- Paper submission will be electronic by using the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=were2011 The length of submitted papers should not exceed 10 pages. Paper submissions should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 Accepted papers will be published as post-proceeding in the Springer LNCS series and be mailed to all the conference attendees. We are also negotiating a special issue in a JCR journal for the publication of extended versions of the best contributions to the workshop.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final CfP: The Role of Platforms for Enterprise Eco-Systems Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 14:01:30 +0200 From: 3EP <3EP(a)eris.uni-mannheim.de> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Workshop at the 41. Annual GI-Conference INFORMATIK 2011 October 04 ? 07, 2011 ? Berlin, Germany Please excuse any cross-postings of this call for papers. Since their introduction, Information Systems have changed and shaped many aspects of business, may be even the way business is conducted altogether. This is especially true for the cooperation between firms that leads to an integration of value chains across multiple entities. The emerging networks span not only the various business units of any one company, but may also include multiple units from multiple firms. As a consequence, companies need to look not only at themselves in order to ensure sustainable and superior business performance, but also at an entire eco-system of surrounding entities with which they interact. These eco-systems span multiple stages of the supply chain, that is, involve suppliers and customers. In order to allow these different units to cooperate successfully, the existence of a common platform is crucial. Such a platform enables the transformation of monolithic, closed system landscapes into a more open infrastructural backbone for business networks. An example is the increasing adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA). Through its higher degree of modularity, SOA allows companies to integrate external services much more easily. Moreover, the process and service chains of various entities along a value chain can be integrated much more seamlessly. Another case in point is the growing importance of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) concepts and corresponding offerings. The workshop on emerging enterprise eco-system platforms (3EP) provides a forum for the scientific discourse dealing with the role of platforms in business networks. The event aims at taking a both diverse and balanced look on the impact and effects of platforms on enterprise eco-systems. During the workshop we want to discuss technological as well as management-oriented issues. In doing so, we want to encourage an exchange concerning design, use, and optimization of platforms in enterprise eco-systems among software developers, platform providers, and users. Possible Topics: - Different architectural approaches to platforms for respective application scenarios - Business models in the context of service-oriented platforms for integrated information systems - Technological and organizational implications for platform providers - Orchestration and composition of services - Software product life-cycle in distributed and dynamic business networks - Performance measurement and management of external services - Effects of platform concepts on the degree of integration in business networks - Approaches to coordinate internal and external services - Implications for the data layer (e.g., issues of data integration and interoperability) - Platform governance - Emerging opportunities and potentials through the use of platforms - Interaction between application marketplaces and platforms - Economic implications of platform concepts for the software industry - Impact of consumerization on platforms used in an enterprise context - Case studies and best practices of platform providers and platform users Your contribution: We welcome theoretical and empirical papers as submissions for the 3EP workshop. Exemplary cases from the industry are also welcome to enrich the discussion. Submissions can be made in either English or German and should comprise 8 to 12 pages (including all figures, tables, and references). Submissions should be made until 04/24/2011 (11:59 pm GMT +1). Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings as part of the 'Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI)' series. All submissions must be made following the respective formatting and style guidelines: http://www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/guidelines.pdf Submissions will be made via the EasyChair system.

Submissions from computer science as well as from information systems will provide a complementary view on the issue of platforms in business networks. Authors that look at the phenomenon from adjacent discipline, such as sociology or law, are equally welcome and encouraged to contribute respective submissions. Through this interdisciplinary approach, 3EP intends to integrate the various theoretical and empirical perspectives on the phenomenon. The participation of practitioners will help to gear the workshop?s results towards relevance and applicability on practice. Important Dates: 04/24/2011 ?

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ECOWS'11 CfP - Deadline Extended Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:12:51 +0200 (CEST) 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* ---------------------------------------------------------------- **DEADLINE EXTENDED** **Abstract submission: April 25, 2011** **Paper submission: April 29, 2011** ================================================================ 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. ---------------- 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 ------------- 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. PhD students working in any area addressed by the ECOWS conference can submit a short report providing a clear statement of the problem they intend to address, motivating the interest and novelty of the underlying research challenges, demonstrating the ideas by examples, and describing the proposed research plan and expected results.
