To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 32229 CONTACT: Any inquiries should be sent to: editor(a)world-comp.org MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF WORLDCOMP: As of November 23, 2011, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of proceedings have received 15,860 citations. In recent months (March to November 2011), there had been 1,475 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 164 citations per month). The above record is significant (thanks to the authors). As the result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the congress among its compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of WORLDCOMP set of proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many reputable journals in computer science and computer engineering. (The above citation data does not include citations to WORLDCOMP papers published in 2011; thus, it is highly probable that the actual number of citations is higher; citation data was obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ ) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This email was sent to: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at To opt out of this email list: http://world-comp.org/cgi-bin/rm/full.cgi?5FD6F29A-5F75-11DE-8B8A-E397122B9…

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers: Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL) Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:06:36 +0100 From: Moormann, Juergen <j.moormann(a)fs.de> Reply-To: Moormann, Juergen <j.moormann(a)fs.de> To: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *Call for Papers* ** * // /Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL)/ www.kmel-journal.org/ojs/index.php/online-publication for the Special Issue on Learning, Teaching, and Disseminating Knowledge in Business Process Management // // /Guest Editors:/ /Jürgen Moormann, Ph.D./ Professor Head of ProcessLab Frankfurt School of Finance & Management Germany Email: j.moormann(a)fs.de // /Wasana Bandara, Ph.D./ Senior Lecturer Faculty of Science and Technology Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Australia Email: w.bandara(a)qut.edu.au In recent years, Business Process Management (BPM), a set of structured methods and technologies for managing business processes, has emerged as a powerful concept used by organisations across all industries. Designing, measuring, improving, simulating, and controlling business processes has become the central challenge to improve organisations´ performance and to ensure success in a highly competitive world. As a result, the need for BPM expertise is increasing with many BPM-related roles emerging, which often requires new sets of skills. Thus, BPM education has been raised as a perennial topic. The topic of BPM education has many different facets. For example, the challenges of converting the ?function-oriented? organisations and its employees to process-oriented thinkers; effectively training employees to select and use the specific methods and tools for managing business processes within the different areas of designing, measuring, improving, simulating, and controlling, and the overall challenges of teaching a complex multidisciplinary domain like BPM. Furthermore, it is recognised that BPM education is not only required for those in BPM specific roles in an organisation, but an essential requirement for employees on all levels including top executives, supervisory board members, workers associations, and other stakeholders ? to ensure acceptance and support for improvement initiatives. The required skill sets for BPM capabilities are very diverse and include business skills, technical skills, and a range of soft-generic-skills such as facilitation, negotiation, relationship, and change management, and to date there is a lack and a need for a clear body of BPM knowledge. A further challenge is how to spread BPM-related knowledge to all levels of an organization to ensure BPM thinking is embedded in all daily actions. Subsequently, there are many issues awaiting to be examined, studied, and addressed. This special issue of the KM&EL international journal is dedicated to learning, instructing, and disseminating knowledge in the field of BPM. In this call, we invite manuscripts that report empirical studies (both quantitative and qualitative) of investigating issues and challenges related to BPM education as well as the use or design of tools supporting teaching efforts. In addition, this special issue welcomes manuscripts discussing conceptual frameworks or theoretical constructs related to learning, teaching, and disseminating BPM knowledge. Recommended topics of interest include, but not limited to: ·Strategies of learning and educating about BPM ·What should be taught under the ?BPM? banner? ·**Curriculum design for BPM training in companies, government, and universities ·Learners? perceptions and their impact on their participation in BPM initiatives ·Learners? motivation in BPM initiatives ·Strategies and tools to facilitate learning in the BPM context ·Role of instructors, coaches, or facilitators in BPM ·Role plays and other tools for teaching purposes in BPM projects ·New approaches to delivering BPM education, including the use of collaborative tools, Web-based conferencing, and social networking ·**Best practices for incorporating advanced information technology into BPM education ·**Use of advanced technologies such as process simulation for (distance) education in BPM ·**Constructs and factors influencing the success of learning and educating BPM knowledge ·**Strategies and tools to facilitate peer interactions, collaboration, and other learning activities ·Setting up a BPM center of excellence to disseminate BPM know-how ·Building, managing, and sustaining knowledge on BPM Important Dates Submission due: 20th July, 2012 Notification of decision: 20th October, 2011 Finalization: 20th November 2012 Publication schedule: Dec 2012 (No. 4, 2012) Submission Instructions Manuscripts should be sent by email to one of the Guest Editors (j.moormann(a)fs.de or w.bandara(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:w.bandara@qut.edu.au>).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AAAI 2012 Workshop on Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization and Recommendation (ITWP 2012) Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:27:43 +0000 From: <dietmar.jannach(a)tu-dortmund.de> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 10th Workshop on Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization& Recommendation (ITWP 2012) In conjunction with AAAI 2012 July 22/23, 2012 - Toronto, Canada http://ls13-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/homepage/itwp2012/ Submission Deadline: April 15, 2012 ====================================================================== Web Personalization and recommendation systems have been steadily gaining ground as essential components of today's Web based applications, including in e-commerce and customer relationship management, in the delivery of business services, in providing support for Web search and navigation, and in reducing cognitive overload in information rich interactive social Web applications. The proliferation of Web 2.0 applications has allowed users to go beyond simple consumers of information and instead actively participate in shaping collaborative environments in which users, resources, and user-provided content are all networked together. This, in turn has increased the need for more intelligent and personalized services that help users interact with and navigate these complex information spaces. These include a new generation of recommender systems that integrate multiple online channels, are more scalable, are more adaptive, can better handle user interactivity, and are more adep t at user preference elicitation. To achieve this, such applications must rely on intelligent techniques from AI, machine learning, Web mining, statistics, and user modelling in order to leverage all available data, including the usage and click-stream data (reflecting user behaviour), the content and meta-data associated with resources, semantic domain knowledge, user profile information, and underlying network structures. Efficient and intelligent techniques are needed to mine this data for actionable knowledge, and to effectively use the discovered knowledge to enhance the users' experience. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners From Web Mining, Web Personalization, Recommender Systems, and User Modeling communities in order to foster an exchange of information and ideas and to facilitate a discussion of current and emerging topics related to the development of intelligent Web personalization and Recommender Systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST We invite original contributions in a variety of areas related to Web personalization and Recommender Systems: * User model representation and preference elicitation: Knowledge acquisition strategies, user context modeling, cross-domain models, privacy, cognitive models for Web navigation, self-adaptation, utility function elicitation from user interaction, user modeling on the Social Web; * Architectures, systems and enabling technologies: personalized search, scalability of personalization and recommendation techniques, intelligent browsing and navigation, adaptive hypertext systems, hybrid and conversational recommendation systems, context-awareness, Data/web mining for personalization, Link Analysis and Graph Mining, automated techniques for ontology generation, learning, and acquisition; machine leaning techniques for information extraction, Social Web, and the Semantic Web; * User and algorithm centric evaluation methodologies, metrics, and case studies PAPER SUBMISSION AND PARTICIPATION Papers must be formatted according to the AAAI 2012 style guide (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php) and submitted electronically as PDF to itwp2012(a)ls13.cs.uni-dortmund.de.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Workshop on Action Design Research
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Workshop on Action Design Research Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:00:16 +0000 From: Ola Henfridsson <ola.henfridsson(a)chalmers.se> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Action Design Research Workshop Venue: Aalto University School of Economics, Helsinki, Finland 12-13.3.2012 Instructors: Maung Sein, Ola Henfridsson, Sandeep Purao, Matti Rossi, Rikard Lindgren Overview: This two-day workshop aims at providing researchers engaging in design research in organizations with hands-on guidance on using Action Design Research (ADR) in their own projects. ADR is recognized as a way of doing constructive research in close co-operation between practitioners and researchers. The method is based on the recognition that IS research always has a dual mission, namely to (a) add to existing theory, and (b) to produce knowledge to support IS practitioners in solving current and anticipated problems. We can achieve this by promoting research, which is based on existing issues in practical settings, aimed at improving the practice and solving problems through employing information systems. All authors of the 2011 MIS Quarterly article on "Action Design Research" (Sein et al. 2011) will attend the workshop and will give short presentations on different aspects of ADR. However, the main part of the workshop will be devoted to the cultivation of research ideas and projects of the workshop participants. We will engage in dialogue with the participants and ask people to share their experiences and challenges in using this approach. Participants are required to send in a brief description of the projects they wish to develop and/or discuss at the workshop. The workshop will consist of the following parts: Part 1: ADR lectures (engaging practitioners, BIE cycles, theorizing etc.) Part 2: Workshop and project clinic Part 3: Debates and discussions on interweaving research and practice Workshop organization: Registration for the workshop is free and will include lunches and refreshments. However, space is limited. Interested participants should contact Matti Rossi (matti.rossi(a)aalto.fi <mailto:matti.rossi@aalto.fi>) for more information. Suggested reading: Sein, M.K., O.
