These objects will make use of multiple technological building blocks (e.g. wireless communication, sensors, actuators, RFID) and connectivity paradigms (e.g. cloud-based infrastructures, P2P systems) in order to allow people and things to be connected anytime anyplace, with anything and anyone. However, mainly due to the inherent heterogeneity of this vision and its broad scope, there will not be a single silver bullet security solution that will fulfill all the security requirements of the IoT. Therefore: How can we include security as a core element of the IoT? How will the IoT interact with other security mechanisms of the Future Internet? What security requirements will be truly challenged by the ultimate vision of the IoT? It is precisely the goal of this workshop to bring together researchers and industry experts in areas relevant to the security of the Internet of Things to discuss these and other significant issues. Moreover, this workshop also has the objective to serve as a forum not only for presenting cutting-edge research, but also for debating the role of security and its practical implications in the development of the IoT. Topics of interest for the workshop include the following: ---------------------------------------------------------- * New security problems in the context of the IoT. * Privacy risks and data management problems. * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities. * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration. * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things". * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies. * Legal challenges and governance Issues. * Resilience to external and internal attacks. * Context-Aware security. * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT. * Web services security and other application-layer issues. * Security of cloud-based M2M/IoT platforms. * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management. * Usability of security and privacy technologies in the context of the IoT. Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS (http://edas.info/) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages. One additional page is permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages). Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: 7th Workshop on Security and High Performance Computing Systems Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:57:40 +0000 From: Jemal Abawajy <jemal.abawajy(a)deakin.edu.au> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> [We apologize for multiple copies] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 7th Workshop on Security and High Performance Computing Systems (SHPCS 2012) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As part of The International Conference on High Performance Computing& Simulation - (HPCS 2012) http://hpcs2012.cisedu.info/ July 2-6, 2012 Madrid, Spain SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 11, 2012 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Providing high performance computing and security is a challenging task. Internet, operating systems and distributed environments currently suffer from poor security support and cannot resist common attacks. Adding security measures typically degrade performance. This workshop addresses relationships between security and high performance computing systems in three directions. First, it considers how to add security properties (authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, access control) to high performance computing systems. In this case, safety properties can also be addressed, such as availability and fault tolerance for high performance computing systems. Second, it covers how to use high performance computing systems to solve security problems. For instance, a grid computation can break an encryption code, or a cluster can support high performance intrusion detection. More generally, this topic addresses every efficient use of a high performance computing systems to improve security. Third, it investigates the tradeoffs between maintaining high performance and achieving security in computing systems and solutions to balance the two objectives. In all these directions, various performance analyses or monitoring techniques can be conducted to show the efficiency of a security infrastructure. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of computer and network security, as well as case studies and implementation experiences. Papers should have practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of secure systems. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Access Control * Accounting and Audit * Anonymity * Applied Cryptography * Authentication * Cloud Security * Commercial and Industry Security * Cryptographic Protocols * Data and Application Security * Data/System Integrity * Database Security * Digital Rights Management * Formal Verification of Secure Systems * Identity Management * Inference/Controlled Disclosure * Information Warfare * Intellectual Property Protection * Intrusion and Attack Detection * Intrusion and Attack Response * Key Management * Privacy-Enhancing Technology * Secure Networking * Secure System Design * Security Monitoring& Management * Security for Mobile Code * Security for Specific Domains (e.g., E-Government, E-Business, P2P) * Security in IT Outsourcing * Security in Mobile and Wireless Networks * Security in Untrusted& Adversarial Environments and Systems * Security in Operating Systems * Security Location Services * Security of Grid and Cluster Architectures * Security Visualization * Smartcards * Trust Management Policies * Trust Models * Web Security * Web Services Security PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] Reminder - CFP: AMCIS 2012: Mini Track: Predictive Analytics Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:45:27 +0100 (CET) From: Prof. Dr. Carsten Felden <carsten.felden(a)bwl.tu-freiberg.de> Reply-To: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (**http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/**) AMCIS 2012 Track on Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (sponsored by AIS SIGDSS) Mini-Track Title: Predictive Analytics ************************************************* * *Description* The term Predictive Analytics stems from the field of Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence is concerned with the support of decision-making. Decisions are by nature future oriented (past and presence cannot be influenced anymore). In any case of uncertainty about the future, forecasts are necessary to provide a decision support. Predictive Analytics is a form of data analysis to gather information and apply methods to predict future developments. Therefore, Predictive Analytics can be regarded as a conceptual part of Business Intelligence. But still there is a discussion whether the term is just a vogue expression or whether it can differentiate itself from existing fields like data mining or knowledge discovery. It is perceptible that a couple of publications focus mainly on empirical evaluation. Of course, such a development is comparable to other academic fields like Knowledge Discovery in Databases which emerged from a practical side as well. To establish it as a field of research, more theoretical background is needed and models need to be provided which describe the process of prediction and the usage of the different methods like simulation or Data Mining. The aim of the minitrack is to address aspects of academic background and practical ones as well. With a critical perspective all aspects of the described field need to be regarded to support an academic perception of the research field. ** *Topics are (but not limited to):* ·Definition and theoretical background of predictive analytics ·Methods of Predictive Analytics ·Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery in Databases, Simulation, System dynamics ·Decision support in uncertainty ·Applications of prediction ·Measurement and metrics of prediction quality ·Artificial Intelligence ·Algorithms like support vector machines, artificial neural networks ** *Important dates:* January 2, 2012 Submission opens March 1, 2012 Submission deadline April 2, 2012 Notification of acceptance April 20, 2012 Final camera-ready copy due *Instructions for authors* All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012.

Important Deadlines: Paper submission due: Feb. 6, 2012 Notification of acceptance: March 26, 2012 Publication-ready versions due: April 24, 2012 Posters, demos, videos submissions due: April 24, 2012 Contact: jens. strueker(a)iig.uni-freiburg.de <mailto:strueker@iig.uni-freiburg.de> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the last seven years, the European Workshop on RFID Systems and Technologies (RFID SysTech) had become a central platform in Europe for personal networking and information exchange in the field of smart object technologies and applications. Based on this great success we are now proud to announce the first Smart SysTech - European Conference on Smart Objects, Systems and Technologies to be held in Munich from June 12th to June 13th. This change is accompanied by an extension of our main topic. While RFID remains one of the cornerstones, we open the focus of the event. This is due to the fact that AutoID technologies and the “Internet of Things” have grown together to advanced networked “Smart Objects” technologies. While the networking of objects for the purpose of data collection and distributed control is no longer a recent phenomenon, the sheer number of things that are networked to information systems has dramatically risen. Today, the Internet is increasingly extended to all kinds of physical assets: product components, finished products, logistic units, equipment, documents, vehicles, buildings and electronic meters as well as embedded systems of all kind. Mature industries, like the energy or automotive are in euphoric mood and accordingly, we see enormous research and technological development activity: For instance, Auto-ID technologies, such as RFID, are being increasingly combined with data storage capacity and sensors or other communication devices that provide real-time data such as position, temperature, pressure, vibrations etc. These special-purpose computer systems are able to sense information from the real world or perform actions upon it and are also able to communicate with other networked computer systems. The resulting integration into existing business processes and IT infrastructures under the side condition of enabling an interaction between intelligent objects and business applications within and between enterprises in a generic, flexible and scalable manner is a considerable challenge. At the same time, the economic potential is promising and will also help enterprises to address completely new challenges in the area of sustainability and energy management, home automation and demand respond: Interacting with smart devices will ensure that enterprises get correct, auditable trails for sustainability metrics or billing information for recharging electric cars. However, business-to-business integration solutions such as the EPCglobal network or other bilateral approaches have to be developed further in order to meet the supporting requirements. The specific profile of this conference is to examine both the technology and economic aspects: • the latest achievements in technologies and systems for smart objects • their integration into information systems and business processes and • their business value. Scientists and practicians from the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and information systems will find an excellent opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary discussions, set up new networks and exchange information on a professional level. In addition to the conference and a poster session, an industrial exhibition and demo session presenting the latest innovations will be held. --------------------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* Smart Objects and Technologies: • Embedded Smart Objects • RFID Transponder/NFC Technologies and Architectures • Ultra Low Power Concepts • Distributed Intelligence • Sensors and Actuators • Printed Electronics and New Materials • Smart Object Manufacturing Technologies Smart Objects and Communication: • Wireless Networks: Technologies and Auto-configuration • Sensor Networks • Smart Dust • Communication Protocols and Service Abstraction • Standardization and Regulatory Issues • Antenna Design and Air Interface • Anti-collision schemes • Propagation & Channel Modeling System Design and Integration: • Smart Objects and Applications • Internet of Things • AutoID System Design • ID and Sensors in Cloud Computing • System Modeling • System Security • Privacy Concepts • Cryptographic Methods • Middleware and Databases • Dependable Systems (System Reliability) • Positioning and Localization Economic, Security and Sociologic Aspects of Smart Objects: • Logistics and Supply Chain Management (e.g., Tracking and Tracing) • Manufacturing Control • Cooperative data processing • Industrial Process Automation • Health Care, Pharmaceutical • Business Value and Performance Measurement • Business Models • Security and Privacy • Sociological Aspects and Technology Acceptance • Home Automation • Smart Metering and Smart Grid • Energy- and Sustainability Management • Demand Respond Solutions • Data-based Business Models for Smart Meters • Internet-based Energy Management with Smart Objects --------------------------------------------------------------------- *Keynotes* Werner Mohr, Head of Research Alliances, Nokia Siemens Networks GmbH & Co.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] AMCIS 2012: Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource PlanningThrough Technology" Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:11:01 +0100 (CET) From: Prof. Dr. Karl Kurbel <kurbel.bi(a)europa-uni.de> Reply-To: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, wir möchten Sie gern auf den Minitrack "Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning Through Technology " im Rahmen des Tracks "Enterprise Systems" auf der AMCIS 2012 in Seattle, WA, USA aufmerksam machen. Der Minitrack thematisiert Fortschritte und Weiterentwicklungen auf dem Gebiet des Enterprise Resource Planning, die durch neue Technologien ermöglicht werden. Beiträge, die dem konstruktionsorientierten Paradigma folgen, sind willkommen. Deadline für Einreichungen: 1. März 2012 AMCIS-Website: _http://www.amcis2012.aisnet.org/_ Mit freundlichen Grüßen Karl Kurbel, Universität Frankfurt (Oder) Jorge Marx Gomez, Universität Oldenburg ********************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS - 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Minitrack"Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning Through Technology" August 9-12, 2012, Seattle, WA, USA ********************************************************** Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic systems to more and more fragmented systems distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. This change has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and more business functionality into ERP. Starting from material requirements planning (MRP) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), the financial and human resources functions as well as executive information systems and eventually long-term strategic planning support for senior management have been included. These developments have made an ERP system "the" core information system of an organization -- and the technological backbone that other information systems need to collaborate with. ERP related functionality such as supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM) and supplier relationship management (SRM) is either integrated, embedded or closely coupled with an ERP system. Software, hardware and networking technology has enabled the increased importance of ERP systems, but it also posed technological and managerial challenges. In contrast to the early ERP monoliths, we nowadays have distributed architectures -- both conventional in-house architectures such as client-server and service oriented architectures (SOA) as well as externally hosted architectures used by application-service-providing (ASP) and software-on-demand solutions. With the appearance of mobile commerce, software-as-a-service (SaaS) approaches and cloud computing, additional challenges have emerged. Technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and react in real-time. RFID, smart items and the "Internet of things" impose new requirements on ERP systems, such as being capable of context-aware information processing. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented, security issues need to be resolved and a satisfactory level of trust in the technologies has to be created. Organizations seem to be hesitant about having their mission-critical business processes run somewhere out in a "cloud" and maintaining their core business data in a nirvana. Neverthelsee, cloud computing is rapidly gaining pace. In the past, the vendors of software-on-demand solutions have not been able to generate significant revenue from this type of solution. This is about to change, as cloud computing is penetrating every branch of business information processing. The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning. We invite papers that pursue a constructionist approach to information systems development, following an engineering-like or design-science research style. Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business value of the proposed approaches or solutions. *Suggested Topics* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ·Architectures for ERP and related business information systems ·ERP systems based on service oriented architectures (SOA) ·Software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP and related areas ·Orchestrating an ERP system from web services/enterprise services ·ERP on demand for small and medium-size enterprises ·Federated ERP systems, standardization and collaboration issues ·ERP and cloud computing ·Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP ·Integrating RFID solutions with ERP ·Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems ·Integrating legacy ERP systems with new components using state-of-the-art technologies ·Mobile ERP and related areas such as mobile SCM, mobile CRM and mobile SRM ·Security issues and trust in new technologies for enterprise resource planning *Minitrack Co-chairs* Karl E.

However, when evaluating the suitability of existing BPM technology for a particular project, it is important for practitioners and academics alike to have an informed opinion about their qualities and deficiencies. Over recent years, the development of insights and evaluations of BPM technology based on empirical research has gained prominence in the community. The introduction of empirical research methods such as experimental, survey, case study or modeling and simulation methods into BPM (as well as into the development of process-aware information systems) has begun to provide more valid, quantitative or qualitative data on the various aspects, effects and consequences of BPM technology in use. These insights are important, not only for IT professionals, but also for researchers dealing with analytical, theoretical or technical challenges in the field of BPM. While early results have been promising, the demand for empirical insights into BPM and BPM technology remains strong. Our ER-BPM'12 workshop continues to address this demand and seeks to stimulate empirical research that, in turn, can contribute to a better understanding of the problems, challenges and existing solutions in the BPM field. In particular, the workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for both researchers and practitioners to improve the understanding of BPM-specific requirements, methods and theories, tools and techniques. Therefore, the ER-BPM'12 workshop will deal with different facets of applying and using BPM methods and technologies; and it will give new insights into the challenges, applications, and perspectives emerging for BPM technology. *Relevant topics include but are not limited to:* .Empirical research on BPM methods, BPM technologies, BPM tools .Empirical research on process-aware information systems .BPM-related (software) experiments .BPM-related action research .BPM-related surveys .BPM-related case studies .BPM-related modeling and simulation studies .BPM-related experience reports .Critical success factor analyses of BPM methods, BPM technologies, BPM tools .Evaluations and comparisons of BPM tools, platforms and standards .Frameworks for quantitatively analyzing BPM methods, BPM technologies, BPM tools .Frameworks for qualitatively evaluating BPM methods, BPM technologies, BPM tools .Requirements on empirical and experimental BPM research .Usability and ease-of-use of BPM technologies and BPM tools .User acceptance of BPM projects .BPM success, failure and contingency models .Studies on the role of standards in practical BPM projects .Comparative studies of BPM technology .Empirical studies of cross-organizational BPM coordination and settings .Costs, benefits, and risks of applying BPM methods, BPM technologies, and BPM tools .Evaluation approaches for BPM methods, BPM technologies, and BPM tools .Practice-driven challenges for future BPM research .Reflections on the use of empirical methods in the BPM field .Advances in empirical methods for BPM research We invite papers that outline research in progress as well as completed research papers. Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, and will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly establish their research contribution and shall particularly address the relation to transferring BPM methods and technologies into practice. The workshop will also comprise a demo sessions, where presenters can showcase advanced prototypes based on their research. *Format of the Workshop and Proceedings:* ** The workshop will comprise presentations of accepted papers, tool presentations, and keynotes. Moreover, the workshop will also include an "Empirical Fair" (EF): Participating practitioners can propose studies that their organizations would like to have conducted, and researchers can propose studies that they would like to conduct in industry. Doing so, practitioners and researchers can create new networks for further joint studies. In other words: The EF is a meeting point to match demand and supply of empirical studies among researchers and practitioners. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. There will be a single LNBIP volume dedicated to the proceedings of all BPM workshops. As this volume will appear after the conference, there will be informal proceedings during the workshop. At least one author for each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. ** *Paper Submission:* ** Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Different paper types are distinguished. Length of /full papers/ must not exceed 12 pages (there is no possibility to buy additional pages). /Position papers/ and /tool reports/ should be no longer than 6 pages. Papers should be submitted in the LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/) <http://www.springer.com/computer/%29>. 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 (full paper | position paper | tool report). *Papers should be submitted via EasyChair: * https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=erbpm2012 *Important Dates:* * *Deadline for workshop paper submissions: 1 June 2012 Notification of Acceptance: 28 June 2012 Camera-ready papers deadline: 9 July 2012 Workshop: 3 September 2012 *Workshop Website: * ** http://www.bpm.scitech.qut.edu.au/erbpm2012 ** *Organization: * ** /Bela Mutschler/ Business Informatics Group University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten P.O.
