-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Call for papers for MSM 2011: 2nd International Workshop on Modeling Social Media (co-located with IEEE SocialCom 2011) Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 04:06:10 +0000 From: <alvin.chin(a)nokia.com> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Hi all, Based on the success of MSM 2010 which was held in Hypertext 2010 in Toronto, Canada (http://kmi.tugraz.at/workshop/MSM10/), please consider submitting to MSM 2011, the 2nd International Workshop on Modeling Social Media (co-located with IEEE SocialCom 2011). Call for papers is below: http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ws/msm2011/ Objectives Continuing the success of MSM 2010, we would like to address the user interface aspects of modeling social media. Much, if not all, interaction is done through some sort of user interface, however how to model social media through the user interface has still not been standardized. For example, people interact with their Facebook friends through the Facebook interface or perhaps another SNS interface like Seesmic. How do we model this user interface, and can this model be replicated to other social media and other form factors like new pad-based devices like the Apple iPad and to more recent high graphics-oriented smartphones like the Apple iPhone 4? The goal of this workshop is to continue our vibrant discussion on modeling social media, focusing on the user interface modeling. The workshop aims to attract and discuss various aspects of user interface modeling in social media using a wide range of modeling perspectives (such as justificative, explanative, descriptive, formative, predictive, etc models) and approaches (statistical modeling, conceptual modeling, temporal modeling, etc). We want to bring together social networking researchers and user interface designers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds interested in 1) exploring different perspectives and approaches to modeling complex social media phenomena and systems through the user interface, 2) the different purposes and applications that models of social media can serve, and 3) issues of integrating and validating user interfaces in social media systems. Topics of Interest Topics may include, but are not limited to: * New modeling techniques and approaches for user interfaces in social media * Application design for user interfaces of social media (phone, pad-based, PC, web) * modeling social media users and their motivations and goals * Modeling user behaviour in social media * User-centered design for social media * Models of user cooperation and collaboration in social media * Trust and user-acceptance of social media * Integrating user interface design with social media * Testing user interface models and social media applications * Usability in social media interfaces (is usability not much of a concern since connectivity is more important?) We also encourage submissions which relate research results from other areas to the workshop topics. ________________________________ Workshop Organizers * Alvin Chin, Nokia Research Center, Beijing, China * Martin Atzmueller, University of Kassel, Germany * Denis Helic, Graz University of Technology, Austria ________________________________ Program Committee * Ed Chi, PARC, USA * Markus Strohmaier, Graz University of Technology, Austria * Daniel Gayo-Avello, University of Oviedo, Spain * Jordi Cabot, INRIA, France * Wai-Tat Fu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA * Thomas Kannampallil, University of Texas, USA * Andreas Hotho, University of Würzburg, Germany * Ciro Cattuto, ISI Foundation, Italy * Marc Smith, ConnectedAction, USA * Huan Liu, Arizona State University, USA * Gerd Stumme, University of Kassel, Germany * Else Nygren, Uppsala University, USA * Ido Guy, IBM Research, Israel * Pranam Kolari, Yahoo Research, USA ________________________________ Submission and Proceedings We intend to publish proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and include them on the conference CD.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Chapter Proposals Web 2.0 Technologies and Democratic Governance Datum: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 08:06:17 -0500 Von: Chris Reddick <Chris.Reddick(a)utsa.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS* ** *Proposals Submission Deadline: August 1, 2011* *Full Chapters Due: November 1, 2011* ** /Web 2.0 Technologies and Democratic Governance: / /Political, Policy and Management Implications/ // A book Edited by Christopher G. Reddick, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA and Stephen K. Aikins, University of South Florida, USA To be published in 2012 by Springer (http://www.springer.com) ** ** ** *Introduction and Purpose of the Book* Web 2.0 has become the buzz word for describing social media available on the Internet, such as blogs, photo and file sharing systems (e.g., Flickr, SlideShare, YouTube) and social networking sites (e.g., Friendster, Facebook, MySpace, SecondLife). These Web 2.0 applications are rapidly transforming citizen-citizen and citizen-government interactions in a manner not seen before. Given these realities, it is very important to find a way to leverage Web 2.0 in government and their suitability for various enterprise-level applications, for strengthening the government-citizen relationship and for intra- and inter-government use in order to improve the policy and public management processes. For this to happen, government organizations need to align their Web 2.0 strategies with their organizational strategic goals for effective outcomes. This calls for clear sets of policy goals and development of Web 2.0 strategies that initiate new interactive ways of policy making, improve data and information management, and stimulate the development and use of knowledge for effective public management. Therefore, the hope of this edited book is to help understand the nature of Web 2.0 applications, their political, policy and managerial implications, as well as how best governments can leverage the applications for effective governance in both developed and developing countries. ** *Intended Contribution of Book* This book will bring together international scholars to provide the theoretical and practical contexts for understanding the nature of Web 2.0 technologies and their impact on political, public policy and management processes, and to explore how best Web 2.0 applications can be leveraged and aligned with the strategic goals of government organizations to add value and ensure effective governance. Drawing from experiences from countries around the globe, the book provides the theoretical context of the potential for Web 2.0 applications to transform government services, as well as practical examples of leading public sector institutions that have attempted to use Web 2.0 applications to enhance government operations, policy making and administration. There are three themes to the book, namely: 1) Perspectives on Web 2.0 and Democratic Governance; 2) The Political, Policy and Management Impacts of Web 2.0 Applications in Government; and 3) Leveraging Web 2.0 Applications for Effective Governance. *Audience for the Book* The primary audience for the edited book /Web 2.0 Technologies and Democratic Governance/ will be university professors, graduate students, researchers and professionals in information systems, public administration, and political science fields. Another audience would be government officials and policy makers interested Web 2.0 technologies for democratic governance. ** *Recommended Topics by Theme* ** Some recommended topics are listed below. However, submissions are encouraged from other topics that examine Web 2.0 technologies on democratic governance. Cases studies examining a specific country or countries are particularly welcome. ** /Theme 1: Perspectives on Web 2.0 and Democratic Governance/ Theories of Discourse and Deliberation in the Era of the Internet and Web 2.0 Theoretical Perspectives on Web 2.0 Evolution and Adoption Theoretical and Empirical Exploration of Web 2.0 Applications for Civic and Political Purposes Modeling and design of Web 2.0 Applications for Government Organizations Contributions of Open Source Technologies to Web 2.0 Application Development Economic and Social Considerations in the Uses of Web 2.0 Applications by Social Networks and Governments /Theme 2: Political, Policy and Management Impacts of Web 2.0 Applications in Government/ Social Media as Mobilization Tools for Protesting Government Policies The Promise of Social Media as Change Agents in Contemporary Government Social Media as Conduits for Engaging Citizens, Government Responsiveness and Policy Change Uses and Effects of Web 2.0 Applications in Political Campaigns and Their Implications for Democracy Administrative Uses of Web 2.0 Applications and their Implications for Service Delivery Policy and Managerial Implications for Adopting Web 2.0 Applications in Government /Theme 3: Leveraging Web 2.0 Applications for Effective Governance/ Strategies for Successful Implementation of Web 2.0 Applications in Government The Risks, Challenges and Remediation Strategies for Adopting Social Networking in Government Methodologies for Measuring the Outcome and Effectiveness of Web 2.0 Technology Adoption Strategic Alignment Web 2.0 applications and Public Agency Goals for Effective Governance ** ** *Submission Procedure* // /Prospective authors should email Stephen Aikins at /saikins(a)usf.edu <mailto:saikins@usf.edu> /a copy of a 250 word proposed chapter abstract by *August 1, 2011. */Their chapter proposal should clearly outline the topic that the author(s) would like to examine and how the topic relates to the politics, policy, and management of Web 2.0 technologies and democratic governance.

EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering technologies and methods contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise distributed application systems. EDOC 2011 will be the fifteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, enterprise architects, solution designers and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry and government. Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to enterprise architecture and business processes management have become some of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing. Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing systems create challenges that range from goal and policy modeling through functional and non-functional requirements to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and across customer businesses. The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view of enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology. Openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and objects are important themes. IEEE EDOC 2011 presents high quality scientific submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain. KEYNOTES The EDOC 2011 programme will feature a number of keynote lectures, including presentations by * Prof. Terry Halpin: Fact-Orientation and Conceptual Logic * Prof. Michael P. Papazoglou: Making Business Processes Compliant to Regulations and Standards * Dr. Richard Hull: Enabling Smarter BPM through Business Entities with Lifecycles WORKSHOPS Workshops complement IEEE EDOC's main scientific program with presentations and discussions of both mature and preliminary project results, ideas, experiences, and knowledge in a way that is more interactive and more focused than paper sessions in the main conference program. To foster this interactivity and focus, workshops target a narrower range of topics. * 2nd International Workshop on Models and Model-driven Methods for Service Engineering (3M4SE 2011) * 5th International Workshop on Advances in Quality of Service Management (AQuSerM 2011) * 4th International Workshop on Evolutionary Business Processes (EVL-BP 2011) * 3rd International Workshop on Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE 2011) * 6th Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR 2011) Workshop * 6th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for The Enterprise (VORTE 2011) ORGANIZING COMMITTEES General Chair Lea Kutvonen, University of Helsinki, Finland Program Chairs Pontus Johnson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Chi-Hung Chi, School of Software, Tsinghua University, China Workshops Chair Georg Grossmann, School of Computer and Information Science, University of South Australia, Australia Finance Chair Toni Ruokolainen, University of Helsinki, Finland Publicity Chairs Axel Korthaus, Victoria University, Australia Alex Liu, California State University, USA Steering Committee Marten J.

Fwd: [WI] Special Issue of the Journal of Web Semantics (deadline: 26 June 2011)
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Special Issue of the Journal of Web Semantics (deadline: 26 June 2011) Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 00:23:22 -0300 From: ARCOE <organization(a)arcoe.org> To: organization(a)arcoe.org Sincere apologies for multiple postings. Following many requests, the submission deadline has been extended to 26 June 2011. Call for Papers: ================================================ Special Issue of the Journal of Web Semantics on "Reasoning with context in the Semantic Web" ================================================ Mechanisms for reasoning with context have become increasingly important factors in the Semantic Web. There is a growing need for general and robust reasoning techniques that make it possible to integrate heterogeneous knowledge or to use homogeneous knowledge across different domains. Research on this topic has so far, and not surprisingly, concentrated on formal ontologies, i.e., on the logical structures that encode the semantics of a software's domain of application. Work on the Semantic Web as well as on information integration, distributed knowledge management, multi-agent and distributed reasoning has focussed on the relationship between an ontology and its context. This has aimed at clarifying how to relate knowledge that is distributed over many resources. Recent Semantic Web specific developments suggest that aspects of this relation can be captured by means of named graphs (to express meta-information), the use of provenance (to track the context where data/axioms came from) and querying (to facilitate reasoning). Other neighbouring research areas, though, have also investigated topics that shed light on how to reason with context in the Semantic Web. Ontology Engineering and Maintenance, for instance, has tackled the problems faced by ontology engineers when developing and maintaining an ontology. The yielded automation of the process of ontology development and of its phases (e.g. knowledge elicitation, revision cycles, alignment with pre-existing ontologies etc.) has improved efficiency, reduced the introduction of unintended meanings into ontologies and in general made explicit the relationship between an ontology and its development context. Finally, research on Problem Solving and Agent Communication has explored how an agent's ontology needs to change at run-time because of interactions with its context – for instance with other agents whose ontologies are not known or with new non-classifiable world situations. This type of research has delivered a deeper understanding of the evolution of an ontology and is often based on non-monotonic reasoning, belief revision or changes of signature, i.e., of the grammar of the ontology's language, with a minimal disruption to the original theory. * Topics of interest: This special issue aims at bringing together work on reasoning with context in the Semantic Web from the integration, development and evolutionary perspectives described above. Submitted articles, which may describe either theoretical results or applications, must clearly pertain to the Semantic Web and/or to semantic technologies. They should present either Semantic Web specific approaches to reasoning with context, or approaches that have characteristics that are interesting for the Semantic Web (e.g., scalability, bounded reasoning), or approaches that are of value to a larger community containing a non-trivial Semantic Web sub-community (e.g. revision/update techniques and error pin-pointing). Submissions are welcome on topics relevant to reasoning with context in the Semantic Web and that include but are not limited to: - Named graphs - Provenance - Knowledge representation languages for semantic technologies - Planning and reasoning about action and change in the Semantic Web - Ontology fault diagnosis and repair - Pinpointing of logical errors in contexts and ontologies - Explanation and justifications in DL ontologies - Ontology and context evolution, debugging, update and merging - Inconsistency handling in contexts and ontologies - Uncertainty handling, defeasible reasoning and argumentation in ontologies - Non-classical belief revision - Context revision and theory change in DL ontologies - Ontology and context versioning - Semantic difference in ontologies and in contexts - Information and knowledge integration - The role of context and ontology in distributed reasoning and knowledge management - Heuristic and approximate reasoning - Bounded reasoning and bounded rationality in the Semantic Web - Adaptive systems and reconfiguration - Ontology-based data access - Querying - Multi-Agent systems in the Semantic Web - Temporal and spatial reasoning - Normative reasoning in the Semantic Web - General problem solving for semantic technologies - Machine learning for the Semantic Web - Philosophical foundations of reasoning about context and ontology evolution - Comparison of uses of contexts and ontologies * How to submit Maximal length of submissions is 25 pages. Authors should upload submissions on Elsevier's Electronic Submission System at http://ees.elsevier.com/jws Choose "Reasoning with context in SW" as article type.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: SIGPrag 2011 at ICIS in Shanghai Datum: Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:41:41 +0200 Von: Mikael Lind <Mikael.Lind(a)hb.se> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CFP:**SIGPrag 2011 at ICIS in Shanghai* Get Pragmatic – Get Connected! In the IS field there is a growing recognition of the importance of theorizing the IT artefact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic, communicative, and action-oriented perspective. The aim of the AIS Special Interest Group on Pragmatist IS Research (SIGPrag) is to provide a much-needed centre of gravity and to facilitate exchange of ideas and further development of this area of IS scholarship. The first SIGPrag scientific event was held in Paris at ICIS 2008 followed by events at Phoenix at ICIS 2009 in Phoenix and ICIS 2010 in St. Louis at ICIS 2010. SIGPrag now invites researchers to contribute papers advancing its central theme: theorizing the IT artefact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic, design and action-oriented perspective. SIGPrag 2011 will address pragmatic issues across the full spectrum of information systems research, including areas such as systems development, social software, social media, social responsibility, business in society, business modelling, sustainable development, digital innovation, and IT in the supply chain. Diverse aspects of pragmatic theory, pragmatic research, and pragmatic methods are of special interest and especially their relation to other research streams such as design science research and action research. How can pragmatic IS research make a difference in practice and theory? Submission will undergo peer-review and accepted papers will be presented at the SIGPrag meeting in conjunction with ICIS 2011 in Shanghai, China. Those interested should submit their paper through the Sprouts review system by September 1st, 2011. Proceedings will be published through Sprouts. Submissions should follow the format of the ICIS template (see _/http://icis2011.aisnet.org/). <http://icis2011.aisnet.org/%29.>/_ The format of SIGPrag 2011 will be highly interactive and developmental. Although we are soliciting high-quality, completed research papers, the assumption is that authors will develop these further for future submission to journals. Each author is therefore asked to identify which journal would be the primary future target for his or her work. This will be factored into the selection of reviewers and discussants at the event in Shanghai as means to provide as much as possible actionable advice to increase the success of the subsequent journal submission. Submitting a paper also incurs an obligation to serve as discussant of another paper at the workshop if one’s own paper is accepted. SIGPrag 2011 will be co-organized with the development workshop for the MISQ Special Issue: Information Systems for Symbolic Action - Social Media and Beyond. For those interested in submitting to the developmental workshop for this MISQ Special Issue please refer to the CFP at _/http://www.sigprag.org/. <http://www.sigprag.org/.>/_ Important dates for SIGPrag 2011: * September 1, 2011: Paper Submission * October 10, 2011: Notification of acceptance * November 1, 2011: Final Papers due * December 4, 2011: SIGPrag workshop at ICIS 2011 in Shanghai, China (Dec 4-7) Program co-chairs: Mikael Lind, Viktoria Institute & University of Borås Michel Avital, University of Amsterdam Jan vom Brocke, University of Lichtenstein Organizing committee: Daniel Rudmark, University of Borås & Viktoria Institute Sandra Haraldson, University of Borås & Viktoria Institute More info at _/http://www.sigprag.org//_

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final CfP: Practice of Enterprise Modelling (PoEM'2011) Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2011 09:18:11 +0200 From: Andreas L. Opdahl <Andreas.Opdahl(a)uib.no> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org You are cordially invited to submit to PoEM 2011 - The 4th IFIP WG8.1 Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modelling Oslo, Norway, November 2-3, 2011 *** Submission deadline: June 24, 2011 *** The PoEM conferences contribute to establishing a dedicated forum where the use of Enterprise Modeling (EM) in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users and practitioners. The main focus of PoEM is EM methods, approaches, and tools, and how they are used in practice. More specifically, the goals of the conference are to further a better understanding of the practice of EM and improve the theory behind the practice, contributing to improved EM practice and to the sharing of knowledge. PoEM 2011 will be the 4th IFIP WG 8.1 working conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling. It follows the successes of PoEM 2008, 2009 and 2010, each of which attracted over 50 participants from all over the world, representing both industry and academia. This indicates that Enterprise Modeling has gained substantial popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. The interactive format of the earlier conferences sparked constructive interaction betwe! en research and practice. The target for PoEM 2011 is to further strengthen this interaction by organizing a collaborative working session within the conference program. The most up-to-date information about PoEM can always be found atwww.ea-network.org/poem2011. Topics Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: evaluation of EM methods from a practice perspective, the process of modeling and guidelines for modeling, management of EM projects, use of EM in different contexts, facilitation and group dynamics, the competency of modelers and modeling teams, model and process quality aspects, reuse of enterprise models, modeling languages, tools and workbenches, enterprise model management, success factors in EM, teaching the practice, EM and agile development, enterprise knowledge architectures, standardization issues and reference models, method engineering in EM, concordance between EM and information systems development. Event Format PoEM is a highly interactive event. The conference will be organized at a venue close to the Oslo city centre, yet with hotels, bars and restaurants close to the conference site, in order to stimulate discussion and open exchange of ideas and experiences. In addition to highly interactive paper sessions the event will include a number of parallel think-tank sessions focusing on various topics, aiming for further development of issues and directions shared between practice and academia. Paper types Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practices. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. Research papers describe original research contributions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) to the area of EM. A research paper should clearly describe the situation or problem that is tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential or the evaluated benefits of the contribution. Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Idea papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging EM challenges. They should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. Keynotes Wil van der Aalst, TuE, The Netherlands: Intra- and Inter-Organizational Process Mining: Discovering Processes Within and Between Organizations Harald Wesenberg, Statoil: Enterprise Modeling in an Agile World Submission guidelines The conference proceedings will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). Papers should be submitted in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review.
