Fwd: [WI] ICSOC 2011 - The Nineth International Conference on Service Oriented Computing
by Gustaf Neumann 25 May '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] ICSOC 2011 - The Nineth International Conference on Service Oriented Computing Datum: Wed, 25 May 2011 19:28:11 +0200 Von: Rainer Unland <rainer.unland(a)icb.uni-due.de> Organisation: University Duisburg-Essen An: undisclosed-recipients:; *************************************************************************** The Ninth International Conference on Service Oriented Computing 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 providers' 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.

Selected best papers will be recommended for publication in the special issue "Security and Privacy in Business Networking" of the international journal "Electronic Markets" published by Springer. Submission deadline: 2011-06-10 ReISOC-2011 at IEEE CPSCom 2011: 2011-10-19 Submissions via<http://cse.stfx.ca/~CPSCom2011/sub/> ReISOC-2011 in the Web at<http://www.nii.ac.jp/jeisec/reisoc> Scope ----- Threats to cities and their critical/social infrastructures, e.g. natural disasters, crime, and terrorism, endanger human life directly and indirectly. Parts of social infrastructures won't be available due to damages. Both emergency response and recovery activities will be hindered, if not even be impossible. Resilience is gaining in importance as a core concept to cope with such threats. Resilience means strengthening social infrastructures to prevent or mitigate threats and its ultimate level would be immunity to such threats. Resilience is not only understood in terms of resistance against attacks and threats (i.e. prevent and protect) but also in terms of the ability to adapt social infrastructures to deal with threats and attacks (i.e. respond and recover). Information and communication infrastructure (ICT) in its vital role to enable communication and coordination is the primary part of social infrastructures and therefore one of the central objects of resilience research. When a threat becomes a reality, ICT still has to provide its services to rescue organizations and for catastrophe management. To ensure availability of ICT for affected social infrastructures, these ICT systems must be able to flexibly - or even autonomously - adapt to changing environments. Such flexibility implies granting access to services and data to an "outsider" and thereby making him or her an "insider" of the failed part of the affected social infrastructures. This opens an enormous potential of misuse and place challenges on security and privacy. For instance, controllability of data usage by the data owner is not given anymore leading to risks regarding confidentiality and integrity. Objective --------- ReISOC-2011 aims to identify further requirements and scientific challenges as well as to discuss novel idea, ongoing work, and best practices regarding ICT support for "Resilience and ICT for Secure Open Cities", in particular to Compliance, IT-Security, and Privacy. We encourage researchers and experts from industry to submit original, unpublished contributions addressing promising approaches to provide and manage resilient ICT infrastructures. Topics ------ Suggested topics, but not limited to, are: (a) Autonomic and Dependable Computing - Methods and Techniques for Self-Configuration, Self-Healing, Self-Protecting, etc. - Distributed Systems and Agents - Flexible and Secure Orchestration of ICT Services - Trustworthy Organic Computing (b) Risk and Vulnerability Analysis - Identification of Vulnerabilities in Service-Oriented Computing - Anomaly Detection - Risk Assessment Methods for Automated Business/Service Processes - Economics of Controls (c) Policy Specification Models and Languages - Matching of High-Level Policies with Security-related Execution Traces - Automatic Identification of Conflicts between Policies - Automatic Resolution of Policy Conflicts (d) Policy Enforcement Mechanisms - Algorithms to Forecast Vulnerabilities - Digital Forensics - Privacy in the Secondary Use of Personal Data - Observability of Control and Data Flows (e) Methods for Resilience& Best Practices - Recovery-oriented Computing - Resilience in the Internet - Resilience in Cryptographic and Communications Protocols - Business Continuity Plan and Business Continuity Management Important Dates --------------- 2011-06-10: Submission Deadline 2011-07-10: Author Notification 2011-08-01: Author Registration/Camera-ready version 2011-10-19: ReISOC-2011 at IEEE CPSCom 2011 conference Workshop Organizers ------------------- Isao Echizen National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan iechizen[at]nii[dot]ac[dot]jp Guenter Mueller Albert-Ludwig University Freiburg, Germany mueller[at]iig[dot]uni-freiburg[dot]de Stefan Sackmann Martin-Luther-University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany Stefan[dot]sackmann[at]wiwi[dot]uni-halle[dot]de Noboru Sonehara National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan sonehara[at]nii[dot]ac[dot]jp Sven Wohlgemuth (Point of contact) National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan wohlgemuth[at]nii[dot]ac[dot]jp Paper Submission ---------------- Papers submitted to ReISOC-2011 will be peer-reviewed by at least three different reviewers.

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 providers' 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. ICSOC 2011 will take place in Coral Beach resort near the city of Paphos, Cyprus. More details on the venue, accommodation, and transportation are available at icsoc.org. Prior editions of ICSOC took place respectively in Trento, New York City, Amsterdam, Chicago, Vienna, Sydney, Stockholm, and San Francisco.

We couple this theoretical understanding of how strategic alignment provides value with extant research to explain an approach to measuring an organization’s dynamic strategic alignment competency. Our measurement approach considers (1) the degree of alignment at a given point in time, (2) the organization’s history of alignment, and (3) the maturity of the business processes that enable IT and business strategies to co-evolve. Our paper contributes to research on strategic alignment in two ways. First, we address a stated need for more substantial theory to undergird strategic alignment research by highlighting and building upon the Dynamic Capabilities Framework. Second, we move beyond static, single-time-period examinations of alignment to explain a dynamic approach to alignment, one that includes an operationalization of the dynamic strategic alignment competency. In sum, we argue that the dynamic strategic alignment competency is an enduring organizational competency built on organizational processes and routines that provides a source of competitive advantage.

However, there have been conflicting reports as to the impact of such DQ tags on decision-making outcomes. Early studies did not explicitly consider the usability and semantics of the DQ tag designs used experimentally or the impact of such tags on decision process, except in suggestions for future research. This study addresses these issues, focusing on the design of usable DQ tags whose semantics are explicitly specified and exploring the impact of such DQ tags on decision outcomes and process. We use the information quality framework InfoQual, the interaction design technique of contextual inquiry, and cognitive process tracing to address DQ tag semantics, usability, and impact on decision process, respectively. In distinct contrast to earlier laboratory experiments, there was no evidence that the preferred decision choice changed with DQ tags, but decision time was significantly increased and there were indications of reduced consensus. These results can be explained by understanding the impact of DQ tags on decision process using concurrent protocol analysis, which involves participants verbalizing thoughts while making a decision. The protocol analysis study shows that DQ tags are associated with increased cognitive processing in the earlier phases of decision making, which delays generation of decision alternatives.
