May 2011! Summary ------- This full-day workshop focuses on the practical and theoretical consequences of the approach to describe business interactions within the framework of protocol theory. Content ------- The relevance of software directly involved in business interactions has enormously grown in modern commerce within the last years. Therefore, it is an obvious requirement that business software which supports business interactions should mirror the orientation of entrepreneurial acting along the business interactions in the simplest possible way. To become runtime relevant from an application perspective, the interpretation of the descriptions of business interactions has to be unambiguously related to computational systems. We expect a promising impetus with respect to the automated implementation of business interactions. Especially small and medium enterprises should benefit as they are currently discouraged to explore this area by the still high initial investments. The starting point of this workshop is the assumption that economics with its game theory based notion describes the same interactions as computer science does with its descriptions of nondeterministic interactions of business processes. Due to the tight formal relation between (economic) game and (computer science) protocol, it is obvious to use the protocol notion not just for informal illustrations, as many contemporary approaches do, but also to view protocol theory as a sound formal base for the description of business interactions in the sense of a theory for consistent finite interaction of (possibly finite) systems. Adressees --------- This workshop brings together scientist of the field of business informatics with a special interest in business interactions and scientist of the more theoretical oriented field of protocol theory. We therefore invite scientific contributions which demonstrate the relevance of protocol theory for the formal description of nondeterministic business interactions either in practical or theoretical respect, if applicable with a relation to game theory.

Fwd: [WI] Call for Papers, edBPM11, 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management, collocated with BPM 2011
by Gustaf Neumann 01 May '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers, edBPM11, 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management, collocated with BPM 2011 Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 12:24:39 +0200 From: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> To: <wi(a)lists.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.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: KM&EL Special Issue on Creating, Supporting, Managing, and Sustaining Virtual Learning Communities Date: Sun, 1 May 2011 11:42:31 +0800 From: maggie wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Call for Papers*** */Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL)/**//* *Special Issue on*** *Creating, Supporting, Managing, and Sustaining Virtual Learning Communities*** // /Guest Editor/ // /Xun Ge, Ph.D./ // Associate Professor Instructional Psychology and Technology Department of Educational Psychology The University of Oklahoma U. S. A. Email: xge(a)ou.edu <mailto:xge@ou.edu> We are living in an information-rich digital age full of wondrous power, capabilities, and possibilities of emerging technologies. Web 2.0 technologies, characterized by participatory information sharing and collaboration and users generating content and creating knowledge in virtual communities, have opened our eyes to a new /open world/(Bonk, 2009). Examples of web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, virtual worlds, and digital object repositories. These emerging technologies have provided us numerous possibilities for learning and instruction and for creating engaging and optimal learning opportunities and alternative and innovative instructional experiences for K-12 education, higher education, corporate, government, and military training. The world has entered into what Bonk (2009) describes as “We-All-Learn” trends, which encourage open participation and compel educators to reflect on learning and instruction from a new perspective. Learners are no longer passive information recipients, whose role is to memorize or consume information, but rather active participants, whose role is to direct their own learning, construct and create knowledge, and contribute to a virtual community; whereas teachers are guides, coaches, and mentors to facilitate learning. However, the potentials of the emerging web 2.0 technologies have not been fully recognized and tapped. Often we find online instruction simply duplication of face-to-face lectures, in which technology is simply an appendage to education instead of playing a more central and transforming role. Many instructors have not changed their mindset to accommodate the participatory culture and the new paradigm of learning and instruction; and little has been done beyond posting syllabi, assignments, and grading to a learning management system or a web site that is supposed to be used for collaborative learning. It is argued that new technologies not only make us more productive, but also help us become more reflective and creative.Most importantly, technologies have afforded us with tools to accomplish goals we would have not been able to without them. As early as in the 80s, Pea (1985) argued that technology should not only be used to amplify our thinking but also to reorganize our mental functioning. Therefore, we are prompted to fully take advantage of web 2.0 affordances to develop innovative learning environments and build virtual learning communities that will motivate and engage learners meaningfully and interactively in their learning experiences and focus on developing the 21st century skills that emphasize innovation, creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving. Yet, using emerging technologies to build a virtual learning community (VLC) is a multifaceted innovation. It not only involves the use of new technologies, but also new method of learning and new ways of thinking of learning and instruction. It presents multiple levels of challenges to both learners and instructors. Subsequently, there are many issues awaiting to be examined, studied, and addressed, including learners’ perceptions, motivation and identity when participating in a VLC, strategies and methods of designing, building, managing, and evaluating a VLC to develop students critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity, and teachers’ beliefs about participatory culture of a virtual learning environment. This special issue of the KM&EL international journal is dedicated to the building of VLCs using emerging technologies. In this special issue, a VLC is defined as both informal, such as one that supports ongoing professional development, and formal, such as one as found in a formal course setting that lasts a semester. In this call, we invite manuscripts that report empirical studies (both quantitative and qualitative studies) of investigating issues and challenges related to the building of a VLC, the use or design of tools scaffold the growth of a VLC, and methods and efforts to create, build, manage, sustain and evaluate a VLC. In addition, this special issue welcomes manuscripts discussing conceptual frameworks or theoretical constructs related to VLC building. Recommended topics of interest include, but not limited to: _Impact of a Virtual Learning Community___ __ * Learners/members' perceptions and their impact on their participation in a VLC * Learners/members' motivation in a VLC * Learners' identity development in a VLC * Teacher or a facilitator's role in a VLC * Role of a VLC on critical thinking and problem solving skill development * Impact of peer interactions on metacognition and self-regulation in a VLC * VLC and reflective learners __ _Designing and Evaluating a Virtual Learning Community___ __ * Tools and strategies to build, manage, and sustain a VLC * Tools and strategies to promote identity development in a VLC * Tools and strategies to facilitate peer interactions, collaboration and other VLC activities * Tools and strategies to facilitate reflection and self-regulation in a VLC * Tools and strategies to support complex problem solving in a VLC * Tools and methods to evaluate the effectiveness of a VLC __ _Conceptual Frameworks or Theoretical Constructs about a Virtual Learning Community___ __ * Community of learners and practice * Community of inquiry * Types of communities and their characteristics (e.g., task-based, knowledge-based, and practice-based, etc.) * Various constructs and factors influencing the success of a VLC *_References_* Bonk, C.J.
