It is devoted to all aspects of trusted computing systems, including trusted modules, platforms, networks, services and applications, from their fundamental features and functionalities to design principles, architecture and implementation technologies. The goal of the conference is to bring academic and industrial researchers, designers, and implementers together with end-users of trusted systems, in order to foster the exchange of ideas in this challenging and fruitful area. The conference will be hosted by the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. INTRUST 2012 solicits original papers on any aspect of the theory, advanced development and applications of trusted computing, trustworthy systems and general trust issues in modern computing systems. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any journal or other conference or workshop that has proceedings. Submissions will take place entirely via a web system. All submissions will be blind-reviewed. Papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. A submitted paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. As was the case for INTRUST 2009 (LNCS 6163), INTRUST 2010 (LNCS 6802) and INTRUST 2011 (LNCS, to appear), it is anticipated that the proceedings of INTRUST 2012 will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Unlike previous editions of this conference, it is intended that the proceedings will be available at the conference. Papers published in the LNCS series are indexed by both EI and ISTP. Clear instructions for the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. Authors are strongly recommended to submit their papers in the standard LNCS format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0 for details), with length at most 15 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices). Committee members are not required to review more pages than this, so papers should be intelligible within this length. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. Papers must be submitted using the EasyChair conference management system at: https://www.easychair.org//conferences/?conf=intrust2012 Please send any enquiries to: webmaster(a)intrust2012.com The conference has a best paper award to the value of US$1,000, sponsored by Singapore Management University; all papers are eligible for this award.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Cybercrime and IT Misuse @ AMCIS 2012 Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:36:58 -0500 From: Gurvirender Tejay <tejay(a)nova.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CALL FOR PAPERS* *18th AMCIS*, August 9 - 12, 2012, Seattle, Washington, USA *Mini-track: Cybercrime and IT Misuse* *Deadline*: March 1st (PST) We invite you to participate in mini-track ?Cybercrime and IT Misuse? scheduled for the 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS). This minitrack aims to encourage research that provides insights into the issue of cybercrime and IT misuse. The cybercriminal activities are rapidly evolving, with new techniques being developed and exploited by hackers worldwide. The cybercrime involving lone hackers has evolved to growing participation of organized crime groups. There is increasing industrialization of cybercriminal activities with some hacking groups allocating dedicated budgets for research and development. In the past, hackers may have attacked for fun, notoriety, or to challenge themselves. However, financial motivations are key consideration nowadays. Organizations are also witnessing constant IT misuse by insiders leading to significant security issues. As cybercrime continues to increase, we need a greater understanding of ways to de-incentivize the impetus which drives individuals and groups to commit these crimes. The worldwide nature of cybercrime also involves significant issues related to development of effective laws and cooperation across international boundaries. There appears to be a need for research into cybercrime activities, their causes, and possible solutions. We solicit promising papers that will enhance our understanding of cybercrime and IT misuse. Few topics of interest include (but not limited to): · Understanding cybercrime activities · Hacker motivations · Technical-social aspects of cybercrime · Legal challenges to cybercrime · Cybercrime and societal implications · Understanding IT misuse · Ethical aspects of IT misuse · IT misuse detection and investigation · Organizational countermeasures to prevent IT misuse We encourage you to submit a paper to this mini-track. This mini-track is offered under ?*Information Systems Security, Assurance, and Privacy*? track. You may obtain additional information about the conference at (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org). Please feel free to email any inquiries on potential papers for submission. *Mini-track Chair* Gurvirender Tejay Nova Southeastern University tejay(a)nova.edu *Important Deadlines* Mar 01, 2012: Submit full manuscripts for review Apr 06, 2012: Acceptance Notices to authors Apr 25, 2012: Camera-ready copy due for accepted papers ___ Gurvirender Tejay, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Security Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences Nova Southeastern University Ft.

Relevant and useful knowledge can be across disciplines; beyond expected boundaries. Hence, effective organizational learning requires efficient and effective tools, which enable the user to effectively seek, reconstruct and transform the information gathered into meaningful and novel knowledge. The transformation of information into knowledge involves an iterative process. Learners need to /design, prototype and test out/ alternative solutions by iteratively and collaboratively investigating and designing and redesigning goals that direct convergent and divergent search processes, processes/behaviours and representations of knowledge structures in relation to a systemic whole, to achieve more effective processes and outcomes (Kolodner, Crismond, Fasse, Gray, Holbrook and Puntembakar, 2003; Vattam,Â Goel, Rugaber, Hmelo-Silver,Â Jordan, Gray andÂ Sinha, 2011). /Learning-by designing/thus adds the dimensions of generative design questioning and deep reasoning and synthesis to information discovery. By giving priority to divergent thinking above convergent thinking, generation of alternatives is likely to become richer. Ultimately, it is hoped that learners will have more ideas (be more fluent), have more categories of ideas (be more flexible), be more novel and more practical and most importantly, be intrinsically motivated and successful thinkers. This special issue aims to present an overview of how design thinking (especially with regards to creativity and cognition), can be supported, managed and sustained through the use of technology. Proposals sought range from lessons from the industry to academia. The special issueâ??s scope covers how intelligent technologies can scaffold creative processes and how user experience can be augmented in creative and engaging ways.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: KM&EL Special Issue on Learning, Teaching, and Disseminating Knowledge in Business Process Management Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:32:31 +0800 From: maggie wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, irma-l(a)irma-international.org *Call for Papers*** */Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL)/**//* *Special Issue on* *Learning, Teaching, and Disseminating Knowledge in Business Process Management* */Guest Editors:/* *//* /Jürgen Moormann, Ph.D./ Professor Head of ProcessLab FrankfurtSchoolof Finance & Management Germany Email: j.moormann(a)fs.de <mailto:j.moormann@fs.de> *//* /Wasana Bandara, Ph.D./ Senior Lecturer Faculty of Science and Technology QueenslandUniversityof Technology (QUT) Australia Email: w.bandara(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:w.bandara@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 <mailto:j.moormann@fs.de>or w.bandara(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:w.bandara@qut.edu.au>).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Call for Papers -- International Symposium on Architecting Critical Systems, June 2012 Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:49:13 +0100 From: Javier Lopez <jlm(a)lcc.uma.es> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> *** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTINGS *** C A L L F O R P A P E R S Third International Symposium on Architecting Critical Systems (ISARCS 2012) Bertinoro, Italy, June 26-28, 2012 http://www.nics.uma.es/ISARCS12 -- Federated with COMPARCH 2012 -- ISARCS is at the third edition and it is the perfect venue for exchanging ideas on both theory and practice for architecting critical systems. Architecting these systems has the big challenge to guarantee both the perceived and objective dependability and security even accepting service degradation. This requires trade-off among the various attributes of dependability and security that cannot be considered in isolation. We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia, including, but not limited to, the following main areas: Architectural styles and patterns Architectural support for evolution Aspects-oriented development Assurance-based development Automotive and avionic systems Component-based development Critical infrastructures E-commerce, e-business, and e-government Embedded, mobile, and ubiquitous systems Extensible ADLs Fault injection Industrial case studies, challenges, problems, and solutions Inspection techniques Integration of processes, tools, and analysis techniques Integrators (wrappers) for dependability Model checking Model-driven development Redundancy and diversity Runtime checks Self-healing Survivability and error confinement Testing and simulation Theorem proving Tolerating architectural mismatches Type checking techniques Paper submissions: Accepted contributions will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should not exceed 10 pages, must be written in English, and prepared according to the ACM style (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted elsewhere for publication. If accepted, the paper must be personally presented at ISARCS 2012 by one author. Submissions will be made through the EasyChair on-line submission system (see website).
