Dardick, Ph.D., CCE (gdardick(a)dardick.net <mailto:gdardick@dardick.net>) * Director, Longwood Center for Cyber Security, Forensics and Policy Longwood University, Farmville, VA USA *Description:* ** This Mini-Track will address research and curriculum in the related disciplines and intersection of cyber security and cyber forensics. The areas of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security are overlapping areas of extreme importance -- not just to the national security of countries around the world, but within those areas under rule of law where electronic evidence is vetted and plays an important rule on the determination of guilt or innocence. The areas of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security have grown to become integral components of areas such as Cyber Law, Electronic Data Discovery, Electronic Data Destruction, and Compliance. Many laws exist today, requiring both public sector and private sector managers to protect information systems and assets. Appropriately collecting digital evidence when an incident occurs is fundamental to bringing perpetrators of computer related crimes to justice and preventing future occurrences. An understanding of Cyber Forensics will be needed not just by college students entering the various fields within technology, but also by those individuals entering business, criminal justice, law, accounting and homeland security. ** *Suggested topics: *Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to: * The role of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security in Information Assurance * The role of Information Assurance in Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security * Cyber Forensics and Security and Risk * Cyber Forensics and Compliance * Cyber Forensic Accounting * International Issues in Cyber Forensics * International Issues in Cyber Law * Electronic Data Discovery * Issues in Electronic Data Destruction * Cyber Forensics, Network Forensics, and Homeland Security * Cyber Forensic Curriculum * Governance Issue in Cyber Forensics * Theory Building in Cyber Forensics *Important Dates:* * *January 2, 2012:*Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions * *March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone):*Deadline for paper submissions * *April 2, 20012:*Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date * *April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone):*For accepted papers, camera ready copy due * *June 12, 2012:*Last day for AMCIS 2012 Early Registration * *July 13, 2012:*Deadline for making hotel room reservations * *July 24, 2012:*Last day for AMCIS 2012 Regular Registration *Submission process:* All conference submissions must be submitted electronically through the AMCIS Manuscript Central submission system, at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2012 conference website after January 2, 2012 at: http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn S.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Final CFP Knowledge Management Value, Success, and Performance Measur Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:53:22 -0500 (EST) From: MurphJen(a)aol.com To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington <x-apple-data-detectors://0/>, August 9-12, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://1/> Track: Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (SIGDSS) Minitrack: Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements DESCRIPTION Research into knowledge management (KM), organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in todayâ??s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and thus are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiativesâ?? success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measure this success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring KM, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based initiatives Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: â?¢Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems â?¢Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance â?¢Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success â?¢Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use â?¢Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics â?¢Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators â?¢Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives â?¢Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements â?¢Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities â?¢Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge management/organizational memory systems â?¢Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge management performance â?¢Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success â?¢Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their theoretical basis to facilitate the value of knowledge-based initiatives â?¢Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing knowledge-based initiatives IMPORTANT DATES January 2, 2012 Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions March 1, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://3/> Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://4/> Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date April 20, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://5/> For accepted papers, camera-ready copy due SUBMISSION SITE http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 CHAIRS' CONTACT INFORMATION Murray E.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Final CFP: Enterprise Architecture & Organizational Success minitrack Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2012 12:33:44 -0500 From: Alberto Espinosa <alberto(a)american.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2012 - Call for Papers Mini-Track: Enterprise Architecture & Organizational Success Enterprise Architecting (EA) is the process of developing an enterprise Information Technology architecture -- both its description and its implementation. An EA description focuses on a holistic and integrated view of the why, where, and who uses IT systems and how and what they are used for within an organization. An enterprise architect (and his/her team) develops the strategy and enables the decisions for designing, developing, and deploying IT systems to support the business operations as well as to assess, select, and integrate the technology into the organization's infrastructure. Alignment between business and IT has remained one of the top three issues for CIOs and IS managers for several years as reported by CIO magazine. An EA implementation focuses on remediating, renovating, or replacing IT systems in compliance with the EA description to achieve the proposed benefits. EA is central to the execution of business strategies. Organizations vary in their degree of EA maturity. While the research literature has devoted substantial attention to the development of effective EA frameworks and the alignment of business and IT, there is very little empirical evidence about the organizational benefits of EA. For example, we know very little about which processes, approaches or coordination practices lead to an effective architecting effort or whether this effort leads to measurable organizational benefits. Consequently, we are soliciting paper submissions that: advance our knowledge of EA; help us learn about effective processes and approaches to effectively manage the EA; and begin to identify ways to measure the organizational benefits derived from EA. Papers will be solicited in several areas, including, but not limited to the following: . Architecting Processes, Methodologies and Practices . Architectural Frameworks and Theory . Business Process Architecture . Tools and Techniques Supporting Architecting . Service-Oriented Architectures (including Web Services) . System versus Software Architectures . Addressing EA Challenges . Integration of EA with IT Governance and SOA . Surveys and Case Studies . EA and Organizational Success Important dates: March 1st. 2012 Deadline for paper submissions April 6, 2012 Notification of acceptance April 25, 2012 Final copy due Instructions for authors: The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references. All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010.

Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012: CFP SiGDSS - Minitrack on "Towards new Business Intelligence Architectures"
by Gustaf Neumann 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012: CFP SiGDSS - Minitrack on "Towards new Business Intelligence Architectures" Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2012 15:01:27 +0100 From: Sebastian Olbrich <sebastian.olbrich(a)arcor.de> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ### Apologies for cross-postings ### CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012** Track: Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (SIGDSS) Mini-Track Title: Towards new Business Intelligence Architectures DESCRIPTION Business Intelligence (BI) denotes integrated, IT-based approaches to decision support based on internal and external data. A BI approach binds together technologies, applications, and processes for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing data to help its users make better and more consistent decisions. BI thereby contributes to an organization's competitiveness and sustainable development. The complexity of this task requires a prudent design of architectures that balance efficiency and consistency requirements (usually based on a Data Warehouse (SW) as the central hub for transforming data into relevant information) with demands for agility. The latter have gained significantly in relevance in the current turbulent, global, and networked business environments. Examples include * the quick exploitation of new and advanced analytic functionality, e.g. for data, text, or process mining, * the deployment of real-time-triggers, or * the fast inclusion and analysis of innovative data sources, e.g. large volumes of textual data from the web and the web 2.0 (Big Data), from governments (Open Data), or from new internal systems (e.g. sensor data from manufacturing and logistics). New solutions proposed to deal with these challenges include in-memory- BI or cloud-based BI -- approaches that raise a multitude of issues regarding their integration into BI architectures. In order to be successful, architecture design needs to be backed up by a multitude of organisational measures, e.g. crafting an information management strategy, deriving appropriate responsibilities and processes (i.e. data and BI governance), managing DW/BI financials (e.g. funding and charging), communicating DW/BI potential to the business, and aligning DW/BI demand and supply. BI therefore deals with the effective deployment of organizational practices, processes, and technology to create wealth from an organization's intangible assets such as knowledge, skills, expertise and capabilities. The focus of this track is on acquisition, creation, transfer, internalization, and utilization of knowledge and decision making capital at individual, group, organizational and societal level. It aims to promote theoretical design science and behavioural research in these domains. We welcome regular full-length papers related to the enabling role of information systems in decision making and information management. We are particularly interested in the recent technological advances in the field of online and real-time information processes. We therefore encourage submissions that address the application of these technologies and the changes that the applications depend on. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * * Economics of and metrics for a BI based information management * Strategy and critical success factors for adopting recent developments in technology (e.g. in-memory databases, BI in the cloud) * Agile DW architectures that make use of the adoption of new technologies * Design, development, and use of BI applications * Enablers and barriers of the organizational adoption of BI systems * Acquisition, integration and adoption of BI in various organizational and social contexts * Management of decision makers and resources * Impact of BI programs or applications on individual, group, and organizational performance; on organizational strategy; and/or on innovation. * Role of IT-based knowledge and/or decision making resources for competitive action * Role of inter-organizational and social networks for creating knowledge/intelligence * Cross-cultural and cross-organisational issues affecting BI architecture * BI architectures for enabling Data Mining and Decision Support based on unstructured data (e.g. from the web or the web 2.0) IMPORTANT DATES: January 3, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions April 6, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date April 25, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, 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 For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2012 conference website at http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/after January 2, 2012.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] [WS-FMDS12] Call for papers 2nd Workshop on Formal Methods in the Development of Software Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:22:19 +0100 Von: Luis Fernando Llana Díaz <llana(a)sip.ucm.es> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] *********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** 2nd Workshop on Formal Methods in the Development of Software (WS-FMDS) http://antares.sip.ucm.es/ws-fmds2012/ Co-located with the 18th International Symposium on Formal Methods FM 2012 http://fm2012.cnam.fr/ *********************************************************************** == SCOPE== Developing software concerns all the aspects of the production cycle of software systems and requires expertise in data management, design and algorithm paradigms, programming languages, and human computer interfaces. Most software development life cycle methodologies are either iterative or follow a sequential model. Such systems may contain a huge amount of lines of code. Thus, when developing these systems, it is necessary to apply sound engineering principles in order to economically obtain reliable and efficient software. Formal methods refer to techniques based on mathematics for the specification, development, and verification of systems. The use of formal methods is especially important in reliable systems where, due to safety and security reasons, it is important to ensure that errors are not included during the development process. Formal methods are particularly effective when used early in the development process, at the requirements and specification levels, but can be used for a completely formal development of a system. One of the advantages of using a formal representation of systems is that it allows to rigorously analyze their properties. In particular, it helps to establish the correctness of the system with respect to the specification or the fulfilment of a specific set of requirements, to check the semantic equivalence of two systems, to analyze the preference of a system to another one with respect to a given criterion, to predict the possibility of incorrect behaviors, to establish the performance level of a system, etc. This new workshop welcomes papers on any aspect concerning the formal development of software systems. === TOPICS OF INTEREST=== The aim of WS-FMDS is to bring together scientists and practitioners who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. This workshop also strive to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: * Formal methodologies applied to security, performance and quality of Software. * Model-driven development, testing, and analysis of Software. * Applied formal testing. * Combinations of different formal techniques. * Measurement and metrics. * Experience of industrial case studies. * Implementation of platforms / tools. === PAPER SUBMISSION, REVIEW AND PUBLISHING === Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. All papers must be submitted at the following submission site: EasyChair paper submission page for WS-FMDS 2012. Each submitted paper must conform to the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science format and submission guidelines. Papers should not exceed 8 pages in length. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the participants of the workshop. Each paper will be reviewed by three reviewers. There will be no formal workshop proceedings; accepted papers and presentations will be posted on the Web site of the workshop and will be made available to attendees of FM 2012.

The Journal is a high quality refereed journal that seeks support from academicians, industry experts and specific government agencies. The JIPS focuses on publishing articles that address the paradoxical nature of privacy versus security amidst current global conditions. It is increasingly important that various constituents of information begin to understand their role in finding solutions to achieve a delicate balance between security and privacy. The JIPS will facilitate understanding of the information assurance technical framework as it pertains to government agencies, companies and individuals. The topics may include the information privacy and security issues pertaining to initiatives on counter-terrorism efforts around the world, the impact of U.S. federal regulation and compliance issues facing global corporations, the impact of privacy and security initiatives within small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and e-gambling. Article submissions are encouraged from both academics and practitioners. Each issue will include high quality articles from academics and practitioners, case studies, book reviews, and industry interviews. The Journal addresses issues of privacy and security from a global perspective and will consider articles with a cross-functional focus. The Journal will include articles in the following areas: - Information Assurance frameworks - Network security and impact on corporate infrastructure - Privacy laws and impact on information compliance issues - The duality of privacy and security and impact on corporate operations - Governmental regulations and changes on information security requirements - Data transfer issues across nations, states, and corporations - Privacy and security requirements in B2B and B2C information flows - Cross-functional aspects of information assurance and requirements faced by various business functions within companies - Web sites, portals and the issue of trust - Information privacy and security as it relates to end-users - Applications and case studies in privacy and security issues facing business organizations, government agencies and individuals - Emerging topics such as biometrics, software utilities, and IT obligations and how they change the business environment Review Process Each article will be blind-reviewed by three members of the editorial review board. Reviewer recommendation will be considered by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. For a revision and rewrite, a revised paper will be sent to one of the Editors for final approval. The final decision will be made by the Editor-in-Chief.
