Fwd: [AISWorld] Workshop on Software Ecosystems: Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Workshop on Software Ecosystems: Call for Papers Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:38:14 -0400 From: Slinger Roijackers (Jansen) <slinger(a)slingerjansen.nl> To: AISWorld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, please note that the maximum number of pages for submissions has been changed to 15 after multiple requests. The deadline will still be 15th of April, no extensions are possible. Thank you, Slinger Workshop on Software Ecosystems: CALL FOR PAPERS (co-located with ICSOB: the International Conference on Software Business) After three successful workshops (2009 <http://iwseco.wordpress.com/>, 2010 <http://www.software-ecosystems.com/Software_Ecosystems/Ecosystems.html>, 2011 <http://iwseco10.wordpress.com/>) IWSECO continues its world tour to Boston, MA, in 2012. Due to its more business oriented nature, this year we seek submissions specifically geared towards governance and coordination mechanisms for software ecosystems. Software vendors no longer function as independent units, where all customers are end-users, where there are no suppliers, and where all software is built in-house. Instead, software vendors have become networked, i.e., software vendors are depending on (communities of) service and software component suppliers, value-added-resellers, and pro-active customers who build and share customizations. Software vendors now have to consider their strategic role in the software ecosystem to survive. With their role in the software ecosystem in mind, software vendors can become more successful by opening up their business, devising new business models, forging long-lasting relationships with partnership networks, and overcoming technical and social challenges that are part of these innovations. The focus of the first workshop was the definition of the research field. The second workshop?s focus was the ?ideal? architecture of a software platform. The third workshop on software ecosystems focuses on the management of software ecosystems, i.e., how a software vendor can manage its network of partners, developers, service deliverers, and other third parties that play a role in the software ecosystem. Typically, software vendors have several instruments available to them for managing their ecosystem, such as the creation of partnership models or the introduction of component and service certification. The effects of these decisions on the software ecosystem have not yet been made measurable, which can be considered one of the main challenges of the field of software ecosystems. We welcome submissions that specifically address this topic. A software ecosystem is a set of actors functioning as a unit and interacting with a shared market for software and services, together with the relationships among them. These relationships are frequently underpinned by a common technological platform or market and operate through the exchange of information, resources and artifacts. Several challenges lie in the research area of software ecosystems. To begin with, insightful and scalable modeling techniques for software ecosystems currently do not exist. Furthermore, methods are required that enable software vendors to transform their legacy architectures to accommodate reusability of internal common artifacts and external components and services. Finally, methods are required that support software vendors in choosing survival strategies in software ecosystems. The Workshop on Software Ecosystems aims to further increase the body of knowledge in this specific area of software reuse and software engineering by providing a forum to exchange ideas and discuss state-of-the-art results. It will build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts. Given the relevance of software ecosystems, and the rather unexplored scientific and industry contribution in this field, the workshop will deliver a state-of-the-practice overview of the available knowledge on software ecosystems, as well as an overview of challenges for further research. *Relevant Topics* Submitted papers shall address topics of interest to software ecosystems and software business. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to: * Organizational openness * Two and N-sided markets * Application Stores * Strategic benefits analyses of ecosystem management * Partner management * Software development governance * Software ecosystem modeling * Software ecosystem practices and experience * Software business models * Product software and software licensing * Economic impact of software ecosystems * Software ecosystem creation * Keystone and niche player survival strategies * Formal modeling of business models * Architectural implications of reusability * API development * Publishing APIs * Software product management * Software product lines * Software development community management * Software ecosystem orchestration * Market-specific domain engineering * Open source software ecosystems * Virtualized software enterprises * API compatibility over subsequent releases *Workshop proceedings *The papers will be published with CEUR-WS. *Paper preparation, submission and evaluation* We welcome both research and industry papers to IWSECO. They must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. To encourage industrial participation we also welcome short industry papers and case studies. Papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF) using EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwseco2012 . Max page length is 15. *Objective* IWSECO 2012 pursues the following objectives: 1. Build upon the body of knowledge in software ecosystems, and identify challenges and future avenues for research relevant for both academia and industry. 2. Establish software ecosystems as a research field within the greater field of software engineering, software management, and software reuse. 3. Provide to software product managers and researchers a dedicated forum for exchanging ideas and best practices and thus foster industry-academia collaboration. The field of software ecosystems is rather unexplored both from scientific and industrial perspectives. This mandates IWSECO to participate in bringing researchers and industrial representatives together, for the purpose of exchanging ideas, but also to iteratively set the research agenda based on industry needs. The IWSECO 2012 workshop aims at continuing to increase the body of knowledge for software ecosystems by providing a forum to exchange ideas and publish research results. It will build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts. *Organizing Committee * Slinger Jansen ?

Majchrzak <tima(a)ercis.de> Reply-To: Tim A. Majchrzak <tima(a)ercis.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ********************* (Final) CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* SUBMISSION DUE DATE: April 30, 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE ON Sustainability Reporting International Journal of Social Ecology and Sustainable Development (IJSESD) Guest Editors: Tim A. Majchrzak and Imke Wasner (University of Münster, Germany) INTRODUCTION: This issue will be devoted to sustainability reporting. Supply chains of multinational corporations often span across several countries, including lower developed countries in which no adequate background institutions have been established. Stakeholders increasingly demand products that have been manufactured responsibly. They have various reasons such as ecological ideals, the ethical obligation, or economic motives. In recent years, reports that shed light onto a company´s performance regarding a sustainable economic behavior have become popular. These reports are expected to also include information on how companies use their power to influence their supply chain. Whether seen as an expected necessity or used for purposes of marketing, the number of filed reports is rapidly increasing. At the same time, standards still emerge and reports not necessarily draw an objective - or the whole - picture. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: To scientifically asses the recent development, we solicit articles that concern sustainability reporting in all facets as well as its impact on neighboring fields. Additionally, requirements regarding affected activities as well as organizational and technological preconditions are within the scope. We welcome both empirical and theoretical papers that advance the understanding of what sustainability reports are used for, how they are used, what impact they have, and how reporting can be improved. Case studies are welcomed but should provide a methodical sound generalization of findings. Position papers might be accepted if they provide scientific merit; checking back with the editors is recommend. Reports from practitioners are welcomed, particularly if they provide multiple views. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: o Business intelligence to support report generation o Case studies of companies´ sustainability progress o Data collection and scrubbing for sustainability reporting o Differences between sectors o Global Reporting Initiative o Information systems support for the achievement of sustainability goals o Qualitative and/or quantitative studies of reporting activities o Reporting and controlling o Reporting and marketing activities o Reporting impact on customers o Sector-specific reporting activities or comparisons of companies´ performance o Sustainability and corporate responsibility o Sustainability and stakeholder relationship o Sustainability and Supply Chain Management o Sustainability management and reporting o Sustainability reporting frameworks SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Sustainability Reporting on or before April 30, 2012. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNAL´S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf. All submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow APA style for reference citations.

This event focuses on the provision of methods and tools that can increase the level of confidence on Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). Procedures to increase the quality of the outcome for an EIS can be exercised at different levels and this forum considers methodologies that can help, either at an organizational or at a software development level, to increase the level of confidence in the IS used and produced. The complexity of modern companies, which are usually geographically distributed and support online simultaneous operations from many customers around the world, is reflected in complex operational procedures as well as in the sophisticated software that is needed to realize that operational structure. Several methodologies have been developed to analyse and develop processes that whilst reflecting the complex operational contexts of modern companies are also reliable. Modelling, Simulation, Verification and Validation are particularly connected with the responsible production of systems and quality assurance testing. They can be connected to each other in order to explore the behaviour of a system u nder development and to evaluate how it relates to the intended implementation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Formal Methods - Combination of verification systems - Deductive systems - Finite-state abstractions of infinite-state systems - Model checking - Petri nets - Process algebra - Reuse of specifications and proofs - Rule-based modelling - Semantics of modelling notations Modelling notations - Business and software process modelling, simulation, analysis and design - Information systems modelling and design - Integration of modelling and specification - Modelling application integration (Web services, agents, a.o.) - Modelling business services - Modelling guidelines - Modelling software architecture - Modelling using objects, components and agents - Notation standards (BPMN, UML, ontologies, XML-based, etc.) - Organization modelling for EIS - Requirements specifications Quality control and assurance - Modelling& Simulation to increase software reliability - Modelling& Simulation, Verfication& Validation as part of the software lifecycle - Testing - Validation and certification - Workflow modelling, simulation and verification, and quality assessment Applications and case studies - Applications of objects, components and agents - Business / IT alignment - Business and industry applications - Consistency checking and data integrity - Large scale component based development - Safety critical systems - Technical frameworks and tool support - Use cases - Working product evaluation ----------------------------------------------------------------- To SUBSCRIBE: http://internetmailmanager.com/s/reg.Asp?a=47WEKLPKNJ7DRNBLM9K8GQZ&b=T4M9M9… ----------------------------------------------------------------- To FORWARD: http://internetmailmanager.com/s/fwd.asp?a=47WEKLPKNJ7DRNBLM9K8GQZ&b=T4M9M9… ----------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE: http://internetmailmanager.com/s/us.asp?a=47WEKLPKNJ7DRNBLM9K8GQZ&b=T4M9M9B… ---------------------------------------------------

Its systems are now invading in every aspect of our daily life and promise to revolutionize our life much more profoundly than elevators, electric motors or even personal computer evolution ever did. The emergence of this technology is a natural outcome of research and technological advances in a variety of areas including embedded systems, pervasive computing and communications, wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing and agent technologies. EUC 2012 is the next event, in a series of highly successful IEEE International Conferences on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing. It will hold multiple workshops co-located with the main conference. We invite you to submit workshop proposals to the Workshop Chairs. The purpose of these workshops is to offer researchers a good opportunity to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and to obtain feedback from an interested community. Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a program committee, collecting and evaluating submissions, notifying authors of acceptance or rejection in due time, ensuring a transparent and fair selection process, organizing selected papers into sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals on emerging topics guaranteed to generate significant interest in the community will be selected. A workshop proposal should contain at least: - A draft call for papers, the workshop deadlines, names and affiliations of organizers and tentative composition of the committees, expected numbers of submissions and accepted papers. - Prior history of this workshop, if any. Please include: number of submissions, number of accepted papers, and attendee count. All workshops should maintain the same quality as the main conference. All accepted papers will be included in the same conference proceedings published by IEEE. The workshop proposals submission deadline is April 15, 2012. Notification of acceptance will be notified within 2 weeks after proposal submission. Please submit your proposal to the Workshops Chair Dr. Xu Li (xu.li(a)inria.fr <mailto:xu.li@inria.fr>) Important Dates Submission deadline: April 15, 2012 Acceptance Notification: April 29, 2012 Once accepted, the workshop should establish its own paper submission system (however, for compatibility purposes we recommend Easy Chair). Each paper selected for inclusion in the proceedings must be registered for EUC 2012 at the same registration rates. Each paper must be presented in person by the author, or one of the authors. All the papers in the EUC 2012 workshops will be published in the IEEE conference proceedings, in the same proceedings of EUC 2012, and will be made available to all conference registrants on site. All workshop papers will also be electronically available through IEEE Xplore Digital Database, and professionally indexed through INSPEC and EI Index. The accepted workshops can decide their own submission deadlines but must follow the same camera-ready deadline and registration deadline as the EUC 2012 main conference. Please organize your workshop as early as possible to ensure your efforts turn out to be fruitful. For further information on preparing a workshop proposal, please contact the Workshops Chair Dr. Xu Li (xu.li(a)inria.fr <mailto:xu.li@inria.fr>).

by Gustaf Neumann 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Deadline Extension: International Workshop on Information Value Management Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:27:55 +0200 From: Mouzhi Ge <mouzhi.ge(a)unibw.de> Reply-To: Mouzhi Ge <mouzhi.ge(a)unibw.de> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de ********************************************************** International Workshop on Information Value Management conjoined with 14th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS) 28th June, 2012 - Wroclaw, Poland http://www.iceis.org/IVM.aspx ********************************************************** Deadline for paper submissions: 10th April, 2012 Background and Rational ======================= The information systems literature has consistently emphasized the need for alignment of information systems with organizational goals and strategies and its impact on organizational performance. One of the key challenges and subject of continuous debate focuses on how to achieve, measure, increase and manage information and the value it creates to organisations. It has been concern to researchers and management for many years and the difficulty in measuring less tangible benefits has been emphasized. Information creates not only value in financial terms but also in terms of operational and strategic advantages. Thus exploring the value of information and its management is crucial to the success of world-leading organizations. The value of information can be determined by its importance to and the impact information has on the business operations such as decision making, strategy development or optimizing supply chains. However, the issue of how to manage the value of information is still challenging and research so far could only address limited aspects. It has been argued that if information result in enhanced business value, the focus needs to shift from project based cost/benefit analysis to managing the overall value creation of information. Furthermore, over the last decade a move from solely technical aspects to a combination of multiple contextual factors such as technology, sector, organizational culture, and management style can be observed. With this workshop we aim to go beyond traditional IT productivity and cost evaluations; we view information as a crucial asset that creates value to an organizations, and thus needs to be managed accordingly for optimal business value. In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to Information Value Management. Research challenges include how to determine the Value of Information and its impact on business performance, managing Data and Information Quality, capturing and maintaining Information Assets, and designing and improving Information Manufacture System. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based on case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science as well as experimental and simulation. In addition practical oriented research and experience reports are encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list: ================== Determining Information Value Data and Information Quality Specifying and Measuring the Benefits from Information Information Value Chains Information Manufacture and Information Product Optimising Information Value Information Lifecycle Concepts Modelling and Visualising Information Manufacturing Systems Information Risk Management Data Integration and Value Creation Analytical IS and Value Creation IVM Maturity Models IVM Capabilities IT Governance and IVM Management Approaches for IVM Change Management and IVM Paper submissions ================= Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at: http://www.iceis.org/papertemplates.aspx Please also check the http://www.iceis.org/submissionguidelines.aspx. Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris Publication =================== All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support - and submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
