Aufruf zur Einreichung von Manuskripten (Call for Papers) "Modellierung betrieblicher Informationssysteme" Teilkonferenz der MKWI 2012 - Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2012 29.02. bis 02.03.2012 an der TU Braunschweig http://mkwi2012.de/themen/minikonferenzen-und-calls-for-papers/ Die Teilkonferenz wird von der Fachgruppe MobIS (Modellierung betrieblicher Informationssysteme) der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. getragen (http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MobisPortal/). Die Teilkonferenz "Modellierung betrieblicher Informationssysteme" beschäftigt sich mit Themen der konzeptuellen Modellierung. Die konzeptuelle Modellierung gehört zu den Kernforschungsgebieten der Wirtschaftsinformatik. Sie zielt darauf ab, rechnergestützte Informationssysteme gemeinsam mit den organisatorischen Handlungssystemen, in die diese eingebettet sind, zu analysieren und zu gestalten. Die konzeptuelle Modellierung fördert Integration und Wiederverwendung und stellt damit eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für leistungsfähige und wirtschaftliche Informationssysteme dar. Dabei umfasst die Modellierung betrieblicher Informationssysteme verschiedene Perspektiven, wie etwa die Betrachtung von Geschäftsprozessen, die statische Beschreibung von Informationsstrukturen (in Form von Daten- oder Objektmodellen), die Darstellung relevanter Aspekte der Unternehmensstrategie oder die Beschreibung der Architektur von Informationssystemen. Die Modellierungsforschung in der Wirtschaftsinformatik zielt darauf, Sprachen und Methoden zur Modellierung betrieblicher Informationssysteme zu entwickeln und kritisch zu evaluieren. Weitere Themen der Modellierungsforschung in der Wirtschaftsinformatik betreffen u. a. die Gestaltung von Referenzmodellen für ausgewählte Domänen, den Entwurf generischer Architekturmodelle oder auch die Entwicklung von Modellierungswerkzeugen. Das Programmkomitee lädt zur Einreichung von Originalbeiträgen zu Themen der konzeptuellen Modellierung ein. Die Einreichungen dürfen zuvor nicht anderweitig veröffentlicht sein oder sich anderweitig in Begutachtung befinden. Die Teilkonferenz ist für alle forschungsmethodischen Herangehensweisen offen. Die Einreichungsfrist endet am 15.09.2011. Einreichungen könnten Manuskripte zu folgenden Themen umfassen (nicht abschließende Themenliste): Geschäftsprozessmodellierung Unternehmensmodellierung Referenzmodelle Unternehmensarchitekturen und Informationssystemarchitekturen Modellierungsmethoden Method Engineering Modellierungssprachen domänenspezifische Modellierungssprachen (DSML) Metamodellierung Modellierungs- und Analysewerkzeuge Kollaborative Modellierung, Open Models Modellgetriebene Informationssystementwicklung, Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) Models(a)run.time Selbstreferenzielle Informationssysteme Workflow Management Prozessorientierte Informationssysteme Konzeptuelle Modellierung in der Praxis Organisation: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Frank, Universität Duisburg-Essen Dr. Stefan Strecker, Universität Duisburg-Essen Prof. Dr. Klaus Turowski, Universität Augsburg Programmkomitee: Prof. Dr. Stephan Aier, Universität St. Gallen Prof. Dr. Jörg Becker, Universität Münster PD Dr. Patrick Delfmann, Universität Münster Prof. Dr. Werner Esswein, TU Dresden Fernand Feltz, Centre de Recherche Public Gabriel Lippmann Dr. Hans-Georg Fill, Universität Wien Dr. Jürgen Jung, DHL Global Forwarding Dr. Martin Juhrisch, TU Dresden Prof. Dr. Reinhard Jung, Universität St. Gallen Prof. Dr. Dimitris Karagiannis, Universität Wien Dr. Lutz Kirchner, BOC GmbH Dr. Agnes Koschmider, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie Prof. Dr. Susanne Leist, Universität Regensburg Prof. Dr. Peter Loos, Universität des Saarlandes Prof. Dr. Jan Mendling, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Gustaf Neumann, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien Prof. Dr. Markus Nüttgens, Universität Hamburg Prof. Dr. Andreas Oberweis, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie Dr. Sven Overhage, Universität Augsburg Prof. Dr. Michael Rebstock, Hochschule Darmstadt Prof. Dr. Elmar J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: Service Orientation in Computing and Logistics (SOC-LOG) at ICSOC 2011 (Deadline: September 15, 2011) Datum: Tue, 31 May 2011 10:26:59 +0200 Von: André Ludwig <Ludwig(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> ================================================================== Call for Papers: 3rd International Workshop on Service Orientation in Computing and Logistics (SOC-LOG 2011) In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2011) December 5-8, Paphos, Cyprus Workshop website: http://soclog11.wifa.uni-leipzig.de =================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== Service orientation is one of the most important paradigms of nowadays computing. Service orientation is also important for logistics: The objective of logistics is to service individual firms, supply chains, and entire industries with flexible means for realizing flows of goods from the point of origin to the point of destination. Logistics relies therefore essentially on the ability to sharing resources of different organizations, providing complex services based on existing services, coordinating service delivery across organizations, and maintaining an agreed quality of service. These requirements match closely to the characteristics of service orientation in computing. This workshop aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potentials of service oriented computing to solving integration and coordination problems in logistics as a key enabler of flexible supply chains. Key research questions are: (1) How to represent logistics systems in service-based computing systems by employing and adopting constructs, models, and methods of the SOC technology stack, (2) how to describe software-based logistics services, (3) how to coordinate software-based logistics services, by employing and adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition, (4) how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based logistics services with approaches for SLA representation, SLA management, and SLA negotiation, and (5) how to control the delivery of software-based logistics services by measuring their efficiency and effectiveness? Topics ====== In particular, we are inviting papers on the following topics: 1) Logistics services representation - Servicetization of logistics systems - Logistics service models - Reference models for logistics services - Semantic models for logistics services 2) Logistics services description - Semantic description of logistics services - Logistics ontologies / ontologies for logistics services - QoS attributes of logistics services 3) Management and coordination of logistics services - Discovery of logistics services - Composition of logistics services - Orchestration and choreography of logistics services - Market-based coordination of logistics services, i.e., auctions 4) SLA Management of logistics services - Domain-specific SLA models - Semantic annotation of SLAs for logistics services - SLA negotiation protocols for logistics services - Integrating logistics services into SLA management infrastructures 5) Delivery of logistics services - Logistics service runtime management and monitoring - Verification of logistics services - Simulation and optimization of logistics services - Transactional safeguarding of logistics services - SOA for the setup and enactment of logistics services Paper Submission and Publication ================================ Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers, as - Full papers (up to 15 pages including all references and figures) or - Position papers (up to 5 pages including all references and figures) on the listed or related topics. Please submit papers via our electronic submission system which is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soclog11. All workshop papers will be included in the combined workshop post- proceedings of ICSOC 2011, which are planned to be published in Springer's LNCS Services Science Subline. Thus, papers must be prepared in the Springer LNCS style. All submissions will be peer- reviewed by members of the international program committee.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Mobile Business Collaboration (MBC) Systems and Services - SI of IJSSOE Date: Sat, 28 May 2011 17:00:56 +0800 From: Dr. Dickson K.W. CHIU <dicksonchiu(a)ieee.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Paper International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering (IJSSOE) http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?id=34268 Special Issue on Mobile Business Collaboration (MBC) Systems and Services The recent advancement of workflow technologies and adoption of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has much facilitated the automation of business collaboration within and across organizations to increase their competiveness and responsiveness to the fast evolving global economic environment. The widespread of mobile technologies has further resulted in an increasing demand for the support of Mobile Business Collaboration (MBC) across multiple platforms anytime and anywhere. Examples include supply-chain logistics, group calendars, and dynamic human resources planning. As mobile devices become more powerful, the adoption of mobile computing is imminent. However, mobile business collaboration is not merely porting the software with an alternative user interface, but rather involves a wide range of new requirements, constraints, and technical challenges. Today the creation, operation, and evolution of such research and practice raise concerns that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling through to the deployment of specific implementation technologies and paradigms, and involve a wide (and ever-growing) range of methodologies, tools, and technologies. They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry segments, government and public services, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time applications for extended enterprises and virtual communities. We intentionally seeks scientists, engineers, educators, solution developers, policy makers, management, analysts, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in Mobile Business Collaboration. This special issue also aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research across disciplines, cultures, and communities. Topic include but not limited to: Principles, theories, models, challenges, legal, and social issues of MBC MBC requirements, design, implementation, and case studies Inter- and Intra-organizational integration for mobile platforms Mobile databases, services, and workflows Multi-databases, federated databases, parallel, and distributed Databases for MBC Temporal, spatial, and mobile databases for MBC Data mining and knowledge discovery for MBC Context and location sensitive applications RFID and sensor data management for MBC Service Level Agreements (SLA), quality, and reliability Web Services and ontology support for MBC Contents management and man-machine interactions for MBC Agent based technologies for MBC Virtual organizations and supply-chain issues for MBC Trust, reputation, security, and privacy in MBC Web 2.0 and 3.0 for MBC Cloud computing for MBC Schedule .

Fwd: [WI] Final Call for Papers: First international workshop on "Collaborative usage and development of models and visualizations" at ECSCW 2011

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Final Call for Papers: First international workshop on "Collaborative usage and development of models and visualizations" at ECSCW 2011 Datum: Fri, 27 May 2011 11:21:53 +0200 Von: Michael Prilla <michael.prilla(a)rub.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de ----- Final Call for Papers: First international workshop on "Collaborative usage and development of models and visualizations" at ECSCW 2011 Deadline for Abstracts: June 1, 2011 ----- ---Organizers--- Alexander Nolte, Michael Prilla, Thomas Herrmann; University of Bochum, Germany Stephan Lukosch, Gwendolyn Kolfschoten; TU Delft, Netherlands ---Workshop Content--- In the workshop, we want to bring together researchers and practitioners reporting on the usage and development of shared visualizations, be it e.g. process models or others. The workshop is intended to provoke discussion and generate new impulses for practice and research. The usage of graphical representations of work and business process such as process models can be considered a common practice in modern organizations. As their development can become a complex task it is reasonable to draft them collaboratively. Also they become increasingly useful when used by larger groups throughout an organization. However despite modeling being a popular approach in practice, models are hardly used by non-experts and have little impact on the people actually working in these processes. This raises questions such as why there is so little use of models after their creation, how this usage can be increased and which kind of tools and modes of interaction are suitable for non-modeling experts. Furthermore as collaborative modeling most of the time remains restricted to collocated facilitated workshops. This approach however is not feasible as processes have to be rapidly adjusted to changing conditions inside and outside of an organization. Given the increasing usage of graphical representations in organizations, their collaborative use and creation is of vital interest for the CSCW community and therefore this workshop can be a starting point in forming a research community. ---Topics--- The workshop welcomes different kind of contributions, including the description of case studies and other empirical work on model usage and development, position papers e.g. describing future research and educational experiences with collaborative models usage and development. Topics of the workshop include but are not restricted to the following: - Collaborative development of and interaction with models in different settings such as: - Processes and approaches of collaborative modeling - Processes and settings of collaborative usage of process models - Overcoming barriers for collaborative use and creation of models and visualizations - The influence of users on models (e.g. collaborative modeling participants on models) and the influence of models on users (e.g. users discussing a model and behavior changes) ---Submission--- We will accept contributions in two different formats: - Short papers such as reports of best practices or position papers which may not exceed 3 pages. - Long papers of such as reports of empirical studies or research in progress which may not exceed 6 pages. All contributions have to be formatted according to the ECSCW formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format via eMail to collabviz(a)iaw.rub.de. Author kits and paper templates are available at the ECSCW website (http://www.ecscw2011.org). All accepted paper will be published electronically at CEUR Workshop Proceedings. For more information on the workshop please visit: http://www.imtm-iaw.rub.de/events/ecscw/index.html.en ---Important Dates--- 01.06. Abstract submission 15.06. Full paper submission 31.06. Acceptance notification ---Program committee--- Joseph Barjis, TU Delft, Netherlands Kawtar Benghazi, University of Granada, Spain Vojtech Merunka, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Czech Republic Manuel Noguera García, University of Granada, Spain Selmin Nurcan, University Paris 1 Pantheon – Sorbonne, France Carsten Ritterskamp, adesso AG, Germany Irina Rychkova, University Paris 1 Pantheon – Sorbonne, France Stefan Strecker, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany ---Venue--- The ECSCW 2011 conference will be held at Aarhus University, Denmark from 24 to 28 September 2011. ECSCW is a bi-annual, international conference series. Since 1989, it has engaged researchers and scholars from academia and industry with high quality presentations and intense discussions (www.ecscw.org). ECSCW is interested in cooperative settings in the workplace, in everyday life, and the civic society, and across boundaries between these spheres of life. Submissions should address the unfolding practices of everyday work and life, and the application of computing technologies in these practices. Papers may also focus on design of such technologies or on historical accounts of use. With design is meant processes, methods, and outcoming artefacts. ECSCW solicits reports reflecting a rich variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including field studies and participatory approaches. -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi
