Pardo (Center for Technology in Government, Public Administration and Policy, University at Albany, USA) -- J. Ramon Gil-Garcia (Centro de Investigacion y Docencia Economicas, Mexico) -- Natalie Helbig (Center for Technology in Government, Public Administration and Policy, University at Albany, USA) -- Marijn Janssen (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) -- Yushim Kim (Arizona State University, USA) PANEL DESCRIPTION Open data strategies are being adopted worldwide as part of national and international reforms that focus on the intensive and creative use of information and technology to improve policy-making and governance. These efforts cross various policy areas including education, public health, transportation, environmental stewardship, economic development, and many other areas. The explosive growth in data, computational power, and technological capabilities has created both new challenges for practice and new tools for research. Policy informatics is an emerging area that explores how information technologies and computational modeling techniques (such as agent-based, system dynamics, data visualization or social network modeling) can support policy making and governance. A basic assumption in policy informatics is that more intensive and creative use of information and technology can improve policy-making processes and lead to better policy choices, especially under conditions of high complexity. The complexity of public problems has not changed, what has changed is our ability to obtain information, to manipulate it, and to disseminate it. This panel welcomes contributions that use tools and techniques that investigate the non-linear relationships and complexity inherent in intractable public policy issues and management dilemmas to better understand the impacts and consequences of technological, political, policy, and managerial choices.

If you need to contact us please email us at info(a)cisseconference.org <mailto:info@cisseconference.org> The Eighth International Joint Conferences on Computer, Information, and Systems Sciences, and Engineering (CISSE 2012) http://www.cisseconference.org/2012 December 7 - 9, 2012 Sponsored by the University of Bridgeport Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, Communications Society and Education Society (Connecticut Section) ------------------------------------------------------------ CONFERENCE OVERVIEW CISSE 2012 provides a virtual forum for presentation and discussion of the state-of the-art research on computers, information and systems sciences and engineering. CISSE 2012 is the eighth conference of the CISSE series of e-conferences. CISSE is the World's first Engineering/Computing and Systems Research E-Conference. CISSE 2005 was the first high-caliber Research Conference in the world to be completely conducted online in real-time via the internet. In 2005, CISSE received 255 research paper submissions and the final program included 140 accepted papers, from more than 45 countries. Last year, CISSE 2011 received more than 300 submissions and the final program included 105 accepted papers, from more than 80 countries. The virtual conference will be conducted through the Internet using web-conferencing tools, made available by the conference. Authors will be presenting their PowerPoint, audio or video presentations using web-conferencing tools without the need for travel. Conference sessions will be broadcast to all the conference participants, where session participants can interact with the presenter during the presentation and/or during the Q&A slot that follows the presentation. This international conference will be held entirely on-line. The accepted and presented papers will be made available and sent to the authors after the conference both on a DVD (including all papers, PowerPoint presentations and audio presentations) and as a book publication. Springer, the official publisher for CISSE, published the previous seven CISSE book proceedings. Conference participants - authors, presenters and attendees - only need an internet connection and sound available on their computers in order to be able to contribute and participate in this international ground-breaking conference. The on-line structure of this high-quality event will allow academic professionals and industry participants to contribute their work and attend world-class technical presentations based on rigorously refereed submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel funds or time out of the office. The concept and format of CISSE is ground-breaking. The PowerPoint presentations, final paper manuscripts and time schedule for live presentations over the web had been available for weeks prior to the start of the conference for all registrants, so that the participants can choose the presentations they want to attend and think about questions that they might want to ask. The live audio presentations were also recorded and are part of the permanent CISSE on-line archive - accessible to all registrants- which also includes all the papers, PowerPoint and audio presentations. Potential non-author conference attendees who cannot make the on-line conference dates are encouraged to register, as the entire joint conferences will be archived for future viewing. The CISSE conference audio room provides superb audio even over low speed internet connections, the ability to display PowerPoint presentations, and cross-platform compatibility (the conferencing software runs on Windows, Mac, and any other operating system that supports Java). In addition, the conferencing system allowed for an unlimited number of participants, which in turn granted us the opportunity to allow all CISSE participants to attend all presentations, as opposed to limiting the number of available seats for each session. Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers electronically in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format through the website of the conference at: http://www.cisseconference.org/2012 Accepted papers must be presented in the virtual conference by one of the authors.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Electronic Markets - CfP Special Issue on "Personal Data Markets" Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:08:18 +0200 From: Karen Heyden <heyden(a)wifa.uni-leipzig.de> CC: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> - Apologies for cross-postings - Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to our call for papers for Electronic Markets' special issue on "Personal Data Markets" The submission deadline is March 8, 2013. The detailed CfP is copied below. We cordially invite original research contributions to the special issue or to general research on electronic markets and networked business from all potential authors. Please note that general research articles can be submitted anytime whereas special issue articles have to be submitted by the deadline shown in the CfP. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to interested colleagues. If questions arise regarding the submission deadline or potential topics please contact the editorial office (editors(a)electronicmarkets.org <mailto:editors@electronicmarkets.org>). With best regards, Karen Heyden Executive Editor ******************************************************************** Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business Call for Papers for Special Issue on "Personal Data Markets" ******************************************************************** Guest Editors: *************** * Alessandro Acquisti, Carnegie Mellon University, USA * Rainer Boehme, Westfaelische Wilhelms-Universität Muenster, Germany * Kai-Lung Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong * Sarah Spiekermann, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria Theme: ****** "Personal data is the new oil of the Internet and the new currency of the digital world." With these words, Meglena Kuneva, Europe's Consumer Commissioner, described an economic development increasingly manifest on a global scale. Personal data is a new asset class. Every day, individuals around the world send about 47 billion (non-spam) e-mails, submit 95 million tweets on Twitter, and share 30 billion pieces of content on Facebook (World Economic Forum 2011). Much of this user-created information does not go unused by third parties: firms collect and use personal information to enhance consumer experience as well as for their own profit. Search engines such as Google and Bing, or social networks such as Facebook, grow equity mainly by using individuals' information to personalize advertisements. Data aggregators such as Acxiom, Rapleaf, Acurint, Choicepoint, or Spokeo sell access to personal and household information. Not only is personal data used for advertising - it can also help companies to understand insurance risks, credit worthiness, employability, and so forth. And technological innovation seems to create ever-new opportunities to tap the data resource, accompanied by novel business models trying to exploit and monetize its wealth. Economists have for long debated the economic implications of abundant consumer information and the trade-offs between privacy and disclosure. Designing markets where personal data is openly traded between data subjects and data holders, and assigning individuals ownership rights over their data, emerged in the last two decades as solutions to the privacy debate alternative to both pure regulation and pure self-regulation. Over these years, the debate over the technical, legal, economics, and behavioral feasibility, efficiency, and ethicality of such markets for personal data (or related concepts such as personal information warehouses, personal data vaults, and propertization of personal data), has continued - with dedicated firms providing related services emerging in the past few years. Many aspects of this debate remain unsolved: How do we properly price personal data? Can individuals whose data is traded and used become active participants in this market and demand fair price for their data? What technologies can help them to manage their personal data and enable them to actively participate in trading this asset class if they want to, while protecting their privacy if they need to? Would they actually want to at all? This special issue seeks to contribute to the theoretical understanding and empirical investigation of personal data markets from an interdisciplinary perspective. We particularly welcome research that discusses ways to resolve potential clashes inherent in these markets, in particular when it comes to the maintenance of people's privacy. Submissions may treat personal data markets from a general perspective or they may relate to specific industries, such as the retail, health, insurance or banking industry. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): **************************************************** Markets for personal data * Valuation of personal data * Mechanisms for personal data markets * Market structure and organization (including competition, multi-sided markets, secondary markets) * Hidden action, hidden information, and (negative) inference in personal data markets * Evolution of personal data markets * Business models involving personal data markets * Contracts and derivatives on personal data markets * Barriers and market frictions * Decision and game theory for personal data markets * Market stability, safety, and security mechanism * Modeling principles, analytical tools, and measurement methodology * Sector-specific studies (e.g., credit or labor markets) Drivers and impediments of personal data markets * Compatibility with data protection and privacy laws (in various jurisdictions) * Property rights management and other legal approaches to personal data markets * Privacy-enhancing technologies relating to personal data markets * Contract enforcement mechanisms * Protocols supporting personal data markets * Formal tools (e.g., data handling policy languages) * Privacy metrics for personal data markets * Trust in market makers and market participants * Behavioral studies of trade-offs in personal data disclosure * Policy analysis and market regulation * International harmonization of personal data markets * Macroscopic consequences: productivity, growth, equality, and freedom Additional topic suggestions are welcome. All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets publication standards.

Fwd: CFP RFID Web of Things
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP RFID Web of Things Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:46:41 -0000 From: sender(a)ekimelu.com To: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Call for Papers: RFID: towards Ubiquitous Computing & the Web of Things The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research is planning a special issue on RFID: towards Ubiquitous Computing & the web of Things. Guest editors; Ygal Bendavid, Samuel Fosso Wamba, and Joseph Barjis Continuous improvements in technological performance, combined with maturing applications and decreasing prices have contributed to the pervasive adoption of Automated Identification Technology such as bar codes and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. Following its incubation period, today RFID technology adoption can be seen in various domains making its diffusion global and cross industries and national borders. Over the last 10 years, RFID application is witnessing a significant growth in almost each sector. RFID Item-Level Tagging (ILT) initiatives are extensively deployed in sectors such as apparel and footwear - with companies such as Gerry Weber International, American Apparel, Macy, JC Penney, and Wal-Mart leading the movement. Adoption of RFID is closely related to various concepts such as Ubiquitous computing (Ubi-comp), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Web of Things (WoT) or the Web of Things and People (WoTaP), where a tagged object can communicate electronically, in real time, with its environment through the global infrastructure of wireless Internet. As sensors and intelligence are added to physical objects, this opens the way to innovative electronic commerce business models and transformation of modern enterprises and their relationship with their constituencies. Effective application and adoption of these new models and technologies pose a host of research questions requiring scientific intervention. This special issue of JTAER aims to gather new theoretical and/or qualitative-empirical results addressing some of these research questions. While contributions in the domain of e-commerce/e-business are welcome, technical aspects of RFID (e.g., RFID circuit or antennas designs, modulation schemes for RFID, RFID electromagnetic field measurements) are not within the scope. Subject Coverage Relevant topics in the domain of electronic commerce, electronic business, and technology-driven enterprise transformation to be addressed in this issue might include, but are not limited to the following. 1. RFID enabled e-commerce business models • RFID & the EPC Network • RFID & The Internet of Things (IoT) • RFID & Ubiquitous Computing (Ubi-Comp) / Pervasive computing • RFID and the Web of Things (WoT)/ Web of Things and People (WoTaP) 2. RFID-enabled enterprise and network transformation • RFID-enabled electronic business models • RFID-enabled Web Service modeling and management • RFID-enabled e-commerce processes 3. RFID-enabled e-Supply Chain Management (eSCM) • RFID enabled e-logistic management • RFID enabled Tracking & Tracing in the e-supply chain • Real time data capture in the e-supply chain: applications and implications 4. RFID operational business intelligence • RFID data management & analytics for supporting e-commerce practices • RFID and ambient intelligence & distributed computing • RFID Embedded Smart Objects 5. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and e-commerce applications. • NFC e-commerce adoption • NFC e-commerce & M-commerce based applications 6. Focused empirical studies, on specific topics within the field of RFID • Empirical studies of adopters using RFID to support B2B e-commerce transactions • Case Studies of RFID e-commerce enabled applications and implications Notes for Intending Authors Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas. Papers should not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted manuscripts must conform to the journal format (see http://www.jtaer.com/).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP - 10th ETAPS Workshop on Formal Engineering approaches to Software Components and Architectures (FESCA'13) Datum: Mon, 15 Oct 2012 22:59:00 +0200 Von: Bara Buhnova <buhnova(a)fi.muni.cz> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ===================================================================== Call for Papers - FESCA 2013 - 10th International Workshop on Formal Engineering approaches to Software Components and Architectures Satellite event of ETAPS March 23th, 2013, Rome, Italy http://fesca.ipd.kit.edu/fesca2013/ ===================================================================== * Deadline for Paper registration: December 5, 2012 * Deadline for Paper Submission: December 12, 2012 * Notification of Acceptance: January 25, 2013 ===================================================================== WORKSHOP AIM Component-based software design has received considerable attention in industry and academia in the past decade. In recent years, the growing need for trustworthy software systems and the increased relevance of systems quality properties (e.g. reliability, performance, and scalability) have stimulated the emergence of formal techniques and architecture modelling approaches for the specification and implementation of component-based software architectures. Both have to deal with an increasing complexity in software systems challenging analytical methods as well as modelling techniques. FESCA aims to address the open question of how formal methods can be applied effectively to these new contexts and challenges. FESCA is interested in both the development and application of formal methods in component-based development and tries to cross-fertilize their research and application. TOPICS One strength of FESCA is the link established between the formal methods community and the software engineering community by exploring how formal approaches can be exploited for the analysis of large software architectures. We encourage submissions on formal techniques and their application that aid reasoning, analysis and certification of component-based applications. In this context, the following topics are of particular concern: * Architecture as a language: Building Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) o Modelling formalisms for the analysis of concurrent, embeded or model-driven systems assembled of components; o Modelling formalisms in prediction, analysis and measurement of software quality attributes such as reliability, performance, or security; * Properties of component-based models o Temporal properties (including liveness and safety) and their formal verification; o Interface compliance (interface-to-interface and interface-to implementation) and contractual use of components; * Formal methods in Component-Based Software Development o Techniques for prediction and formal verification of system properties, including static and dynamic analysis; o Instrumentation and monitoring approaches, runtime management of applications; o (Semi-) automatic inference of analytical models for existing software systems; * Formal methods in Model-Driven Software Development o Abstraction level in modelling formalisms; o Safer MDA through integration with formal methods; o Correctness of model transformations; * Industrial case studies and experience reports. Submissions concentrating on specification techniques should involve an evaluation of the practical merit of their research and clearly state the analysis and reasoning techniques they enable. We also appreciate work of a formal nature with immediate value to the industrial context. We encourage not only mature research results, submissions presenting innovative ideas and early results are also of interest. SUBMISSIONS Three kinds of submissions are considered: * Regular papers (up to 15 pages in ENTCS format), presenting original and unpublished work related to the workshop topics. * Position papers (up to 10 pages in ENTCS format) presenting ideas and directions of interesting ongoing and yet unpublished research related to the workshop topics. * Tool demonstration papers (up to 5 pages in ENTCS format), presenting and highlighting the distinguishing features of a topic-related tool (co-developed by the authors). PROCEEDINGS * Regular and position papers will be published in a special issue of the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) after the workshop. * All regular, position and tool demonstration papers will appear in electronic pre-proceedings distributed at the workshop. IMPORTANT DATES * Paper registration: December 5, 2012 * Submission deadline: December 12, 2012 * Notification of acceptance: January 25, 2013 * Final versions due: February 8, 2013 * Workshop date: March 23, 2013 PROGRAMME COMMITTEE * Ivana Cerna (Masaryk University, Czech Republic) * Ludovic Henrio (CNRS, France) * Petr Hnetynka (Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic) * Samuel Kounev (University of Karlsruhe, Germany) * Heiko Koziolek (ABB Research Ladenburg, Germany) * Ralf Kuesters (Universität Trier, Germany) * Markus Lumpe (Swinburne University of Technology, Australia) * Raffaela Mirandola (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) * Dorina Petriu (Carleton Univesity, USA) * Ralf Reussner (University of Karlsruhe, Germany) * Cristina Seceleanu (Mälardalen University, Sweden) * Dennis Westermann (SAP Research, Germany) * Steffen Zschaler (King's College London, UK) PC CO-CHAIRS * Barbora Buhnova (Masaryk University, Czech Republic) * Lucia Kapova (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany) * Jan Kofron (Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
