Fwd: [AISWorld] Final CFP: AMCIS 2012-Mini-Track: Cross-Organizational and Cross-Border ICT Collaboration
by Gustaf Neumann 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final CFP: AMCIS 2012-Mini-Track: Cross-Organizational and Cross-Border ICT Collaboration Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:45:55 +0000 Von: Madlberger Maria <Madlberger(a)webster.ac.at> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS-AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev) Mini-track: Cross-Organizational and Cross-Border ICT Collaboration Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is closely related to global development. On the one hand, global development brings along new and increasingly complex requirements on ICT. On the other hand, ICT are one of the drivers and supporters of global development. In particular, ICT are pivotal in the context of cross-organizational and cross-border collaboration. Collaboration technologies are essential enablers of numerous collaborative activities. At the same time they need to meet challenging requirements that go beyond intra-organizational systems. Cross-organizational and to a larger extent cross-border collaboration differs strongly from collaboration within one organization or one country. Besides individual characteristics of collaborating partners, such as organizational attributes, commitment, trust, or motivation, shared factors play a crucial role for collaboration success. Specifically, proximity is decisive: First, physical locations of collaborating partners show a direct impact on coordination efforts. Second, different levels of ICT infrastructure can have a large impact on collaboration conditions. Third, cultural similarity or difference between collaboration partners is crucial. Fourth, cross-border collaboration can largely depend on different legal regulations. Fifth, the economic environment determines collaboration goals as well as procedures and outcomes. Besides these issues, the structures of collaboration tasks and processes ultimately impact the outcome and success of ICT collaboration. Beyond that, the role of ICT is twofold: ICT can be a collaboration enabler, but also a collaboration purpose and goal. Increasing globalization and global development require that firms, governments, non-governmental organizations, and other institutions collaborate across national, economic, and social boundaries. Academic research investigated many different aspects of ICT collaboration, but did not yet develop comprehensive collaboration models that provide an answer to the requirements cross-organizational and cross-border ICT collaboration impose on organizations. Such frameworks need to combine (1) ICT development and application, (2) the business and economic viewpoint, and (3) behavioral, cultural, and sociological issues. To address this interdisciplinary field, this mini-track focuses on conceptual and empirical research that contributes to a clearer understanding of ICT collaboration processes, their success factors, and their benefits. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Processes of international/global ICT collaboration - Effects of collaboration on ICT productivity - Success factors of collaboration technologies - Inter-organizational collaboration and ICT productivity - Conceptual frameworks of ICT collaboration in global development - Multinational teams and ICT productivity - Cross-border and cross-organizational value-chains and value-networks - Standardization of collaborative technologies and/or processes - ICT productivity studies at the country, industry, firm, or project level - Comparative cross-country research on collaboration - Country-specific case studies on cross-organizational collaboration - ICT offshoring/outsourcing into emerging economies - International ICT project management - Antecedents of cross-border collaboration - Diffusion of collaborative technologies in emerging economies - ICT productivity instrument development and validation Important deadlines: - March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 - April 2, 2012: 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 Instructions for authors and more information about the conference at: http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ Mini-track Chair: Dr. Maria Madlberger Department of Business and Management Webster Vienna Private University Berchtoldgasse 1, A-1220 Vienna, Austria Phone: +43-1-269 92 93-76 Fax: +43-1-269 92 93-13 Email: madlberger(a)webster.ac.at Web: http://www.webster.ac.at/business-and-management/dr-maria-madlberger

Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices - such as laptops, iPods, personal digital assistants (PDA), and cellular telephones - have stimulated the development of intelligent pervasive multimedia applications. These key technologies are creating a multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, educational and governmental domains. Yet many challenges remain, especially when it comes to efficiently indexing, mining, querying, searching, retrieving, displaying and interacting with multimedia data. The Multimedia - Processing and Applications 2012 (MMAP 2012) Symposium addresses several themes related to theory and practice within multimedia domain. The enormous interest in multimedia from many activity areas (medicine, entertainment, education) led researchers and industry to make a continuous effort to create new, innovative multimedia algorithms and applications. As a result the conference goal is to bring together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners in order to communicate their newest and original contributions. The key objective of the MMAP conference is to gather results from academia and industry partners working in all subfields of multimedia: content design, development, authoring and evaluation, systems/tools oriented research and development. We are also interested in looking at service architectures, protocols, and standards for multimedia communications - including middleware - along with the related security issues, such as secure multimedia information sharing. Finally, we encourage submissions describing work on novel applications that exploit the unique set of advantages offered by multimedia computing techniques, including home-networked entertainment and games. However, innovative contributions that don't exactly fit into these areas will also be considered because they might be of benefit to conference attendees. *Call for Papers* MMAP 2012 is a major forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. The MMAP 2012 Symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of multimedia domain ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. MMAP 2012 invites original previously unpublished contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference.

Workshop on Theory and Applications of Process Visualization (TAProViz'12) Datum: Sun, 26 Feb 2012 13:07:11 +1000 Von: Ross Brown <r.brown(a)qut.edu.au> Antwort an: Ross Brown <r.brown(a)qut.edu.au> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> CFP: 1st Intl. Workshop on Theory and Applications of Process Visualization (TAProViz'12) Visualizations can make the structure and dependencies between elements in processes accessible in order to support users who need to analyze process models and their instances. However, effectively visualizing processes in a user-friendly way is often a big challenge, especially for complex process models which can consist of hundreds of process components (e.g., process activities, data flows, and resources) and thousands of running process instances in different execution states. Many challenges remain to be addressed within the broad area of process visualization such as: scalability, human-computer interaction, cognitive aspects, applicability of different approaches, collaboration, process evolution, run-time requirements of process instances and applications, etc. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Visual Metaphors in Processes Visual Design and Aesthetics for Processes Visualization of Dynamic Data in Processes Change Visualization for Processes Interface and Interaction Techniques for Process Visualization Visualization Techniques for Collaboration and Distributed Processes Visualization of Large-scale Processes Cognition and Perception in Process Visualization Evaluation and User Studies of Process Visualization Visual Modeling Languages Analysis Techniques and Visualization for Processes Process Visualization of Large Screens Mobile Process Visualization Visualization Tools and Systems for Processes Visualization Techniques for Processes Process Visualization and Sonification Virtual World Process Visualization Immersive Process Modeling Approaches 3D Process Visualization Approaches Format of the Workshop The 1Ž2 day workshop will comprise accepted papers and tool presentations. Papers should be submitted in advance and will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. 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 should register for the workshop and present the paper. Important Dates Deadline for workshop paper submissions: 1 June 2012 Notification of acceptance: 2 July 2012 Camera-ready version: 30 July 2012 Workshop: 3 September 2012 Paper Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above.

Fwd: [WI] Final CFP: AMCIS 2012 - Minitrack on Very Large Business Applications
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Final CFP: AMCIS 2012 - Minitrack on Very Large Business Applications Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2012 17:30:02 +0100 From: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)ovgu.de> Reply-To: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)ovgu.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ================================================================ FINAL 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?

Fwd: [wkwi] Agent-Oriented Software Engineering 2012: Last CFP - Deadline extendedtill March 11, 2012

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] Agent-Oriented Software Engineering 2012: Last CFP - Deadline extendedtill March 11, 2012 Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:20:15 +0100 (CET) Von: "Jörg P. Müller"<joerg.mueller(a)tu-clausthal.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TILL MARCH 11 ************* Call For Papers AOSE 2012 13th International Workshop on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TILL MARCH 11 ************* Held with AAMAS 2012, Valencia, Spain, June 4, 2012 http://winf.in.tu-clausthal.de/events/aose12 MOTIVATION Since the early 1990s, multi-agent system researchers have developed a large body of knowledge on the foundations and engineering principles for designing and developing agent-based systems. The 12 past editions of the agent-oriented software engineering workshop (AOSE) had a key role in this endeavor. For 2012, the workshop organizers and the steering committee propose to organize an edition of AOSE workshop aimed at exploring the new emerging role of agent-oriented software engineering as a bridge from the now consolidated agent oriented programming languages and platforms, to recent systems modelling paradigms like self-*, autonomic systems, and systems of systems (SoS). Thus, it is our hope to explore from an agent-based perspective, foundations, models, methods, architectures, and tools for engineering future software-intensive IT eco-systems. The workshop organizers plan to publish accepted papers on a USB stick as part of the AAMAS workshop registration package. Revised post-proceedings papers will later be published in a volume of the Lecture Notes for Computer Science series. GOALS and TOPICS The general goal of this year workshop is twofold: The first goal is to study the role of agent-oriented software engineering in the design phase of agents development. It is well known and accepted that agents - from the software engineering perspective - are of particular interest as an analysis abstraction. This has been true for several years but the most recent advancements in agent-oriented programming languages have proposed new challenges: software engineers may now design and code their solutions in terms of agents. The old need of moving to the object-oriented level of abstraction is overpassed and the new developing platforms allow for a more natural transformation of AO analysis models into AO design models. This reality has been soon perceived by researcher and practitioners. An example of this new trend may be found in the refreshed interest about testing of agents. The second goal concerns the other side of the proposed ideal bridge: the needs of new design approaches specifically suited for facing the needs of self-organizing systems, autonomic systems and systems of systems. In the last years we have seen considerable research efforts on these topics; however, only few of them have their scope and foundations in the software engineering field. Novel efforts are necessary to cope with these new challenges in order to find specific solutions that could bring such systems from research to industrialization. In this context, a means for bridging the above mentioned research (and application) streams may come from the advances on organizations, norms, and institutions. Are they mature enough for being applied to stable agent-oriented languages and for contributing to the engineering of self-organizing and autonomic systems? The proposed aim is find an answer to this question or to propose further hints for future investigations on the application of organizations, norms and institutions to the design of agent-oriented systems. Topics of regular papers include but are not restricted to: * Agent-based concepts for systems of systems engineering * Agent-based solutions for managing complexity in software engineering * Agents and model-driven approaches * Agents and services * Agents for self-adaptive systems * Alignment of agents with service-oriented software development * Autonomy vs. dependability and robustness * CASE tools to support agent-oriented software development in practice * Coordination infrastructures for multi-agent systems * Engineering multi-agent organizations * Engineering self-organizing systems * Goal-oriented design * Implications of introducing agent-based solutions on the development organization * Integration of agents with legacy systems * Middleware integration of agent-based software * Multi-agent based simulation * Programming agents and multi-agent systems * Qualities and tradeoffs of agent-based architectures * Reusable design knowledge: patterns and reference architectures * Social engineering * Software architectures for multi-agent systems * Standardization efforts for multi-agent systems * Testing of agent-based software * Validation of agent technology in practice * Verification of agent-based software AUTHOR GUIDELINES AOSE welcomes the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers with a clear research focus on the topics outlined above. Each paper will be evaluated by three members of the PC. Papers that present a valuable idea that needs further development can be accepted as a short paper. SUBMISSIONS Papers should be between 8 and 12 pages, including the text, figures, and references. The submissions must be formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS style. PDF format is required. Papers can be submitted via EasyChair 'AOSE2012', https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aose2012 The good receipt of your submission will be confirmed by email. PUBLICATIONS Pre-proceedings containing all accepted papers are provided electronically on a USB stick as part of the AAMAS workshop registration package. The plan is to publish revised versions of accepted papers in a Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume. For this purpose, authors will be given the opportunity to revise and re-submit their contributions after the conference. IMPORTANT DATES (extended deadline!) Paper submission deadline: 11th March 2012 Paper notifications: 6th April 2012 Camera ready paper (pre-proceedings): 8th April 2012 Workshop: 4th June 2012 COMMITTEES Organizing Committee * Massimo Cossentino, National Research Council of Italy, Palermo, Italy * Joerg P.
