-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] AWS'2012:[Deadline Extended]: International Workshop on the Adaptation of Web Services Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 18:32:32 +0100 Von: Walid Chainbi <walid.chainbi(a)gmail.com> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- AWS'2012: Deadline extended to February 29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Workshop on the Adaptation of Web Services (AWS'2012) August 27-29, 2012, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada http://www.uc.rnu.tn/aws2012.html in conjunction with ANT’2012 conference AIMS AND SCOPE *********************** Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm that utilizes Web services as the basic constructs to support the development of rapid, low-cost and easy composition of distributed applications even in heterogeneous environments. With the advent of SOC, computing environments have become open, and components are no longer under a single organization’s control. Consequently, Web services based applications are becoming difficult to adapt. Moreover, with the rapid growth of communication and information technologies, adaptation has gained a significant attention as it becomes a key feature of Web services allowing them to operate and evolve in highly dynamic environments. Adaptation mechanisms refer to different instantiations including configuration, healing, optimization, and protection. The primary objective of this workshop is to investigate ideas that may contribute to the adaptation of Web services. Theoretical as well as practical aspects are welcome. The workshop organizer welcomes participation and contributions from those working or interested in the intersection of technologies such as agent technology and autonomic computing with SOC. TOPICS OF INTEREST ************************** The topics of interest for AWS’2012 include, but are not limited to: • Adaptation solutions to Web services • Applications of adaptive Web services • Engineering of adaptive Web services • Optimization of Web services • Configuration of Web services • Healing of Web services • Protection of Web Services • Self-* Web services • Agents vs. Web services • Agents for Web services • Design and management of self-* Web services.

Fwd: [WI] CFP AREIS Workshop (Automated Reasoning for Enterprise Information Systems)
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Feb '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP AREIS Workshop (Automated Reasoning for Enterprise Information Systems) Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 17:06:14 +0000 Von: Silvio Ranise <ranise(a)fbk.eu> Antwort an: Silvio Ranise <ranise(a)fbk.eu> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Kopie (CC): Peter.Baumgartner(a)nicta.com.au <Peter.Baumgartner(a)nicta.com.au>, Silvio Ranise <ranise(a)fbk.eu> IJCAR 2012 Workshop AREIS: Automated Reasoning for Enterprise Information Systems Call for Papers http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~baumgart/AREIS/ General Information -------------------- The Workshop on Automated Reasoning for Enterprise Information Systems (AREIS) will be held on July 1st, 2012 in Manchester, UK. AREIS will be associated with the 6th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR-2012), part of the Alan Turing Year 2012, and collocated with The Alan Turing Centenary Conference. Background ----------- The ultimate goal of Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) is the seamless integration of all the information flowing through a government agency or private enterprise, ranging from finance and accounting to human resources, supply chain, and customers. The promises of EISs are enticing for managers who struggle against incompatible information systems within or across organizations. In an ideal world, EISs would help to execute business processes efficiently and demonstrably compliant with legal and other regulations in place. Unfortunately, the EIS approach comes with a variety of problems by itself. EISs are highly complex software systems whose design, validation, and deployment require large investments of money, time, and expertise. An EIS should support the flexible specification, management, and execution and monitoring of legal and operational constraints, all non-trivial issues. In addition, these problems are amplified by a gap between those who model the business (business analysts) on the one hand, and those who have to implement it with EIS on the other hand. For example, security requirements should be specified in a natural and high-level way so that referring to information resources is independent of where the information is stored and the accesses to the information can either be direct or indirect. Also the enforcement of the security constraints may be complex because it may depend on a variety of security mechanisms, such as firewalls, host login permissions, file permissions, DBMS access control, and application-specific security mechanisms. Again, there is a huge gap between security officers and managers deciding what level of business-unit segregation should be enforced. Due to the lack of flexible techniques to design and analyze the seamless and secure integration of information resources, it seems particularly interesting to investigate logical or, more in general, formal approaches to such problems which can be effectively supported by state-of-the-art automated reasoning systems or other verification tools. In analogy to software/hardware development, say, one may ask to what extent the chain from business modelling to deployment and execution with EISs is supported by formal methods. Indeed, well-known approaches like Petri nets, temporal model checking, description logics, deontic logic and (to a lesser degree) first-order theorem proving have been proposed to address specific aspects. In general, however, it seems that automated reasoning techniques logical methods have not been exploited to their full potential so as to come up with richer models, more expressive specification languages, and more precise (automated) analysis techniques, which are needed for building more robust EISs with respect to the integration of their many facets. Workshop Topics ---------------- - Analysis of business rules for logical errors (inconsistencies, redundancies etc) - Combining business rules, business processes, and their languages - Semantics of and reasoning with existing modeling techniques (e.g. BPMN) - Logical analysis of existing EIS - Compliance reasoning - Data-intense process reasoning - Executing, planning, analyzing, and monitoring business processes - Security policies and mechanisms (authentication, authorization, obligation etc) - User-end tools and techniques for formal modeling (e.g. controlled natural language) - Constraint-based reasoning - Business decision modeling and execution - Novel applications of model checking techniques for business modeling - Projects reports (success stories and failures) The goal of the AIRES workshop is to foster the exchange of new ideas, methodologies, specification and analysis techniques on the above topics with a relevance for "Automated Reasoning." Submission ----------- Beside mature work, we also solicit preliminary work or work in progress to be presented. Submissions must not exceed 12 pages (Springer LLNCS format) and will be reviewed by the programme committee for inclusion in the workshop program. To submit a paper, please go to the EasyChair AREIS page and follow the instructions there. The final versions of the selected papers will be collected in a volume to be distributed at the workshop and made accessible on the web.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2. CFP: AMCIS 2012 - Minitrack on Very Large Business Applications Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 22:23:00 +0100 Von: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)ovgu.de> Antwort an: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)ovgu.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/) Track: Enterprise systems (SIGEntSys) Minitrack: Very Large Business Applications ================================================================ DESCRIPTION Enterprise Systems are an essential part of modern and successful companies. While looking at the supply chain, multiple aspects of the usage and impact of Enterprise Systems have been discussed in both scientific and practice. To pay respect for the current development of emerging technologies like mash-ups, web 2.0 and cloud computing on the one side and the increasing agility of business models on the other side the question arises how Enterprise Systems will look like in the future. Transferring this recent development into the context of Enterprise Systems we see a new class of Enterprise Systems which address the need for more agility in the whole supply chain with a more loosely coupled system of separate elements combines together to a highly integrated, complex Information Systems. While this is an emerging topic in Enterprise Systems, we denote these kinds of Information Systems as Very Large Business Applications (VLBA). VLBA are acting as an enabler for intra- and interorganisational, distributed business processes and play a significant role in the development of new markets and business models therefore. This Mini-Track aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potentials of VLBA to solve integration and coordination problems in inter- and intraorganisational business processes as a key enabler of flexible boundary-less information systems. Key research questions are: - how to represent VLBA in service-based computing systems by employing and adopting constructs, models, and methods of the different information systems technology stacks, - how to describe VLBA, - how to coordinate software-based business processes by employing and adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition, - how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based services with approaches for SLA representation, SLA management, and SLA negotiation, and - how to control the delivery of software-based services in VLBA by measuring their efficiency and effectiveness? SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following: - Cloud Computing and VLBA - VLBA Operations Management - Strategic, tactic and operative Systems Landscape Engineering - VLBA Business Simulations - VLBA Business Models - Analytical Business Process Engineering for VLBA - VLBA and Knowledge Management - VLBA security issues - Innovative VLBA Applications We invite contributions from different disciplines including information systems, information management, computer and management science to properly cover the facets of Very Large Business Applications. We encourage papers applying quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science.

08 Feb '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] AMCIS 2012 CfP: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 22:18:36 +0100 Von: Carsten.Brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de Antwort an: Carsten.Brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 Track: Enterprise Systems (SIGENTSYS) Minitrack: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models DESCRIPTION Enterprise systems (ES), extremely complex software packages designed for integrating data flow across an entire company, emerged from earlier MRP, MRP II and ERP systems. Over time, ES have expanded to include more and more areas of an organization’s operations, and have extended organizational boundaries and support interorganizational activities. Today’s enterprise systems are expected to support modern organizations that operate in dynamic and turbulent business environments, compete in global markets, face mergers and takeovers, and participate in business alliances and joint ventures. Frequently, the adoption of an ES is an enormous challenge for an organization, due to system complexity, organizational context and the people involved in the implementation project. Usually, ES adoption is a long and multi-stage process during which various problems and complications may occur. Moreover, ES adoption projects typically involve a large number of stakeholders representing different departments, various organizational hierarchies, and often external companies operating in various industries. These stakeholders may have conflicting interests, and their own definitions of project success. Overall, ES implementation projects tend to be very unique and challenging endeavors. Providers of enterprise systems have traditionally relied on strong revenues from maintenance fees, in addition to license revenue. Nowadays, shorter product lifecycles, rising consulting revenues, Open Source Software and SaaS are impacting their business models. ES providers have the challenge of delivering systems which are highly customizable software products, able to fit the needs of a variety of adopters. This might be important since, as prior research suggests, the issue of alignment between ES and adopting organizations is one of the determinants of successful enterprise system implementation. This mini-track invites papers that examine various aspects related to the determinants of ES success and business models. Both empirical and theoretical papers are invited. The general research questions addressed in this mini-track can be formulated as follows: What are the mechanisms determining successful ES adoption? What are the underlying business models of companies delivering successfully adaptable ES? What kind of business models exist? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * motivation and justification for ES adoption, * alignment between ES and adopting organization, * barriers and impediments to ES adoption success, * risk factors in ES adoption, * critical failure factors for ES adoption, * critical success factors for ES adoption, * understanding of ES adoption success, * evaluation and benchmarking of ES projects, * multi-cultural and multi-national issues, * multiple stakeholder perspective in ES adoption and use, * business model frameworks for ES providers, * impact of new trends within the software industry on business models, * business model innovation for standard software companies, * implications of shorter product lifecycles on business models, * SaaS related business models, * open source software related business models. IMPORTANT DATES January 2, 2012 Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions March 1, 2012 Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2012 Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date April 20, 2012 For accepted papers, camera-ready copy due SUBMISSION SITE http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Minitrack Chairs: Katja Andresen Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin, Germany andresen(a)beuth-hochschule.de Carsten Brockmann University of Potsdam Potsdam, Germany carsten.brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de Piotr Soja Cracow University of Economics Cracow, Poland eisoja(a)cyf-kr.edu.pl J.P.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 CfP: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 22:09:49 +0100 Von: Carsten.Brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 Track: Enterprise Systems (SIGENTSYS) Minitrack: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models DESCRIPTION Enterprise systems (ES), extremely complex software packages designed for integrating data flow across an entire company, emerged from earlier MRP, MRP II and ERP systems. Over time, ES have expanded to include more and more areas of an organizationâ??s operations, and have extended organizational boundaries and support interorganizational activities. Todayâ??s enterprise systems are expected to support modern organizations that operate in dynamic and turbulent business environments, compete in global markets, face mergers and takeovers, and participate in business alliances and joint ventures. Frequently, the adoption of an ES is an enormous challenge for an organization, due to system complexity, organizational context and the people involved in the implementation project. Usually, ES adoption is a long and multi-stage process during which various problems and complications may occur. Moreover, ES adoption projects typically involve a large number of stakeholders representing different departments, various organizational hierarchies, and often external companies operating in various industries. These stakeholders may have conflicting interests, and their own definitions of project success. Overall, ES implementation projects tend to be very unique and challenging endeavors. Providers of enterprise systems have traditionally relied on strong revenues from maintenance fees, in addition to license revenue. Nowadays, shorter product lifecycles, rising consulting revenues, Open Source Software and SaaS are impacting their business models. ES providers have the challenge of delivering systems which are highly customizable software products, able to fit the needs of a variety of adopters. This might be important since, as prior research suggests, the issue of alignment between ES and adopting organizations is one of the determinants of successful enterprise system implementation. This mini-track invites papers that examine various aspects related to the determinants of ES success and business models. Both empirical and theoretical papers are invited. The general research questions addressed in this mini-track can be formulated as follows: What are the mechanisms determining successful ES adoption? What are the underlying business models of companies delivering successfully adaptable ES? What kind of business models exist? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: motivation and justification for ES adoption, * alignment between ES and adopting organization, * barriers and impediments to ES adoption success, * risk factors in ES adoption, * critical failure factors for ES adoption, * critical success factors for ES adoption, * understanding of ES adoption success, * evaluation and benchmarking of ES projects, * multi-cultural and multi-national issues, * multiple stakeholder perspective in ES adoption and use, * business model frameworks, * impact of new trends within the software industry on business models, * business model innovation for standard software companies, * implications of shorter product lifecycles on business models, * SaaS related business models, * open source software related business models. IMPORTANT DATES January 2, 2012 Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions March 1, 2012 Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2012 Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date April 20, 2012 For accepted papers, camera-ready copy due SUBMISSION SITE http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Minitrack Chairs: Katja Andresen Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin, Germany andresen(a)beuth-hochschule.de Carsten Brockmann University of Potsdam Potsdam, Germany carsten.brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de Piotr Soja Cracow University of Economics Cracow, Poland eisoja(a)cyf-kr.edu.pl J.P.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] cfp: 11th Security Conference Las Vegas Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 15:46:58 -0500 Von: Gurpreet Dhillon <gpdhillon5(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org The 11th Annual Security Conference Discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy April 11-13, 2012 The Orleans Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, Nevada, USA www.security-conference.org CALL FOR PAPERS Submissions March 1, 2012 The nature and scope of the Information Security field has evolved over the past several years. No longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic and we tend to consider all aspects of information protection as central to the field of security. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues. Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals and case studies are invited. All submissions are peer reviewed and automatically considered for publication in the Journal of Information System Security (http://www.jissec.org) and in special issues of other major publications. Editors/AEs of other major journals are also in attendance to advise authors as to how their papers could be formulated for possible submission to any of the basket of AIS journals (European Journal of Information Systems, Information Systems Journal, Information Systems Research, Journal of AIS, Journal of MIS, MIS Quarterly, Journal of Strategic Information Systems, Journal of Information Technology) among others.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: rBPM 2012 (3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management) @ BPM 2012 Datum: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 17:37:11 -0200 Von: Marcelo Fantinato <m.fantinato(a)usp.br> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management (rBPM 2012)* http://www.each.usp.br/rbpm/2012/ September 3, 2012 Tallinn, Estonia In conjunction with the *10th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2012)* http://bpm2012.ut.ee/ ------- CALL FOR PAPERS ------- * * *Aims and Scope: Academia and Industry* ============================= Current complexity of corporative world demands dynamic and flexible IT infrastructure to provide technical solutions for conducting business. Business Process Management (BPM) has been providing important technological support to improve organization competitiveness. In order to increase dynamism and competitiveness, BPM can benefit from reuse techniques and tools at several stages of business process life cycle. The 3rd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management will be dedicated to explore any type of reuse in the BPM domain, taking into account both the results of research in academia and the results of applications in industry. It will be a forum to discuss systematic reuse applied to BPM at its various levels and different life cycle stages, including: (1) basic service-oriented foundation level: including service development, description, publication, discovery, selection, negotiation, and aggregation; (2) management and monitoring upper level: including business process modeling, execution, monitoring, administration, and optimization. Moreover, the impact of reuse on business- and service-oriented engineering as well as analyzing how it can help in the design of higher quality process models are very important topics to be discussed. Different existing reuse approaches and techniques can be extended to be applied to this fairly new domain, including: software product line or software product families; variability descriptors; design patterns such as feature modeling; aspect-orientation; and component-based development. In addition, completely novel approaches and techniques can be proposed. Their application must also be discussed, preferably under experimentation as well as results analysis. *Suggested Topics* ============= Possible topics for the workshop papers are (but are not restricted to) - related to both research in academia or applications in industry: - Product Lines (Product Families) for BPM - Patterns for business process and workflows - Variability descriptors applied in BPM elements - Feature modeling applied in BPM elements - Aspect-oriented extensions for BPM - Component-based Development and Service and Business-oriented Engineering - Reuse in Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) - Reuse in service development, negotiation, composition - Quality of Service (QoS) and Reuse - Reuse in SaaS (Software as a Service) approaches - Reusable asset libraries for BPM - Reuse in semantic Web services - Ontologies in business process modeling - Empirical findings related to reuse in the BPM domain - Surveys related to reuse in the BPM domain - Reuse in business process modeling, execution, monitoring - Reuse in electronic contract establishment - Case studies and experiments results related to reuse in BPM - Analysis of reuse related to Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL - Reuse in e-Business, e-Commerce, B2B, B2C, virtual organizations - Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL and extensions to improve reuse - Model-driven approaches for reuse *Submission Guidelines* ===================== Papers should be submitted in English language, in PDF format and in the LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing) format. Instructions for authors are available at the Springer Web site (http://www.springer.com/series/7911). Papers can be submitted into two tracks: "Research Paper" or "Application Paper". For both paper types, its size must range from 9 to 12 pages. Papers submitted must contain, below title, the information: "Research Paper" or "Application Paper". Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. All contributions will be evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to the workshop themes. All accepted workshop papers will appear in the LNBIP Proceedings of "BPM 2012 Workshops" published by Springer. As this volume will appear after the conference, hard copies of the proceedings will be shipped to all registered participants about four months after the workshops.
