-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP - 8th International Workshop on Business Process Design (BPD) @BPM2012 Datum: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 06:09:51 +0000 Von: Marta Indulska <m.indulska(a)business.uq.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> BPD2012 - 8th International Workshop on Business Process Design http://www.bpd-workshops.com/ In conjunction with: 10th International Conference on Business Process Management (http://bpm2012.ut.ee/) 3-6 September, 2012 Tallinn, Estonia Paper submission deadline: 1st June 2012 Business Process Design is at the core of Business Process Management. As the most value-adding stage of the process lifecycle, it is dedicated to the development of improved and compliant business processes. Designing a process that improves corporate performance is a challenging task that requires multi-disciplinary expertise and a plethora of inputs (for example, organizational strategies, goals, constraints, and IT capabilities, to name a few). However, unlike other well-defined and theory-grounded stages of the process lifecycle (e.g., process modeling), Process Design is still only poorly understood and lacks a widely accepted and theoretical sound foundation. Existing scientific approaches have focused often on only small, well-understood business domains and are either centered around atomic improvement proposals or general reference models. Overall, much more attention is devoted to process modeling techniques and standards than actual value-adding Process Design. BPD2012 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an interest in advancing the state of the art in Process Design. We seek contributions by authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and insightful observations on the subject. Two main categories of submissions will be considered: regular papers and industry papers. The workshop focuses exclusively on aspects related to process improvement within the process lifecycle. This specialization excludes the well-researched process modeling and process execution. Within this specialized scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Process improvement methods, tools and techniques * Process improvement objectives * Process improvement patterns * Process improvement measures and evaluation * Process improvement in the cloud * Process reference models * Process innovation * Constraints in process improvement (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance) * Process design governance * Process improvement for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes) * Collaborative process improvement * Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process improvement * Linking process improvement to organizational strategy and goals * Success factors in process improvement * Case studies and experiments Paper Submission: Only papers in English will be accepted, and the length of the paper must not exceed 12 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpd2012. For formatting instructions and further details please refer to the BPD2012 website: http://www.bpd-workshops.com/submission-instructions/ Co-Chairs: Marta Indulska The University of Queensland, Australia Dr Michael zur Muehlen Stevens Institute of Technology, USA  Michael Rosemann Queensland University of Technology, Australia _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

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. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. *Topics* Topics of interest are related to Multimedia Processing and Applications including, but are not limited to the following areas: Â·Audio, Image and Video Processing Â·Animation, Virtual Reality, 3D and Stereo Imaging Â·Multimedia File Systems and Databases: Indexing, Recognition and Retrieval Â·Machine Learning, Data Mining, Information Retrieval in Multimedia Applications Â·Multimedia in Internet and Web Based Systems: Â·E-Learning, E-Commerce and E-Society Applications Â·Human Computer Interaction and Interfaces in Multimedia Applications Â·Multimedia in Medical Applications Â·Entertainment and games Â·Security in Multimedia Applications: Authentication and Watermarking Â·Distributed Multimedia Systems Â·Network and Operating System Support for Multimedia Â·Mobile Network Architecture Â·Intelligent Multimedia Network Applications *Paper Submission and Publication* Â·Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file).

In 2010, the IDA symposium re-focussed to support papers that go beyond established technology and offer genuinely novel and "game-changing" ideas, whilst not always being as fully realised as papers submitted to other conferences. IDA 2012 continues this approach and will include an important and still emerging class of problems: the analysis of data from networked digital information systems such as mobile devices, remote sensors, streaming applications (e.g. Twitter), etc. The IDA symposium seeks "first look" papers that might elsewhere be considered preliminary but contain potentially high impact research. The IDA symposium, which is A-ranked according to ERA, is open to all kinds of modelling and analysis methods, irrespective of discipline. It is expected to be an interdisciplinary meeting that seeks abstractions that cut across domains. IDA 2012 welcomes papers that focus on dynamic and evolving data, models, and structures and the analysis of data from digital environments. FRONTIER PRIZE In line with the theme of IDA 2012, the IDA Frontier Prize will be awarded to the most visionary contribution. Submissions considered for this award must present novel and surprising approaches to data analysis. The award consists of a plaque and a prize of 1000 Euros. CALL FOR PAPERS IDA solicits papers on all aspects of intelligent data analysis, including papers on intelligent support for modelling and analyzing data from complex, dynamical systems. IDA 2012 particularly encourages papers about: - Novel applications of IDA techniques to, e.g., digital environments - Novel modes of data acquisition and the associated issues - Robustness and scalability issues of intelligent data analysis techniques - Visualization and dissemination of results Intelligent support for data analysis goes beyond the usual algorithmic offerings in the literature. Papers about established technology will only be accepted if the technology is embedded in intelligent data analysis systems, or is applied in novel ways to analyzing and/or modelling complex systems. The conventional reviewing process, which favours incremental advances on established work, can discourage the kinds of papers that IDA 2012 hopes to publish. The reviewing process will address this issue explicitly: referees will evaluate papers against the stated goals of the symposium, and any paper for which at least one program chair advisor writes an informed, thoughtful, positive review will be accepted irrespective of other reviews. The proceedings of IDA 2012 will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For more details on submission and review process, see the IDA webpage at http://www.ida2012.org or contact the program chairs. News and updates will be posted on the IDA Twitter account @ida_news. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: 12 May, 2012 Author notification: 14 July, 2012 Camera-ready papers due: 11 August, 2012 Conference dates: 25-27 October, 2012 ORGANIZATION General Chair: Jaakko Hollmen, Aalto University, Finland Program Chairs: Frank Klawonn, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Germany Allan Tucker, Brunel University, United Kingdom Poster Chair: Frank Hoppner, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Germany Frontier Prize Chairs: Elizabeth Bradley, University of Colorado, United States Joao Gama, University of Porto, Portugal

Bitte richten Sie Ihre Vorschläge an Prof. Dr. Matthias Knoll, Hochschule Darmstadt, _matthias.knoll(a)h-da.de_ <mailto:matthias.knoll@h-da.de> *Das Heft wird mit folgendem Kurztext angekündigt: * Einerseits erfordern gesetzliche und aufsichtsrechtliche Vorgaben für die IT eine immer stärkere Aufmerksamkeit, andererseits zwingt die steigende Abhängigkeit der Geschäftsabläufe von der IT Unternehmen zu einem sehr sorgfältigen Umgang mit der IT. Denn von ihr darf keine Gefahr für die Betriebskontinuität ausgehen: Vertraulichkeit, (Daten-)Integrität und Verfügbarkeit müssen ständig gewährleistet sein. Doch IT-Risiken sind vielfältig und allgegenwärtig. Um ebendiese Risiken für die IT und aus dem Einsatz der IT bestmöglich zu beherrschen, haben viele Unternehmen Interne Kontrollsysteme (IKS) aufgebaut, Verfahren entwickelt, mit denen geprüft werden kann, ob diese Kontrollsysteme wirksam sind und Prozesse definiert, wie sie verbessert werden könnten. Die HMD 289 berichtet über den aktuellen Stand und Trends in IT-Prüfung und IT-Revision. Neben theoretischen Überlegungen fließen Erfahrungen aus der Praxis in das Heft ein, beispielsweise mit Werkzeugen zur Unterstützung der IT-Revisions- und IT-Prüfungstätigkeiten, oder mit bestimmten Prüfmethoden und -verfahren. Für Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit gerne zur Verfügung und freue mich auf Ihre Vorschläge.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: Kundeninduzierte Orchestrierung komplexer Dienstleistungen Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 19:28:31 +0100 From: Andreas Oberweis <andreas.oberweis(a)kit.edu> Reply-To: Andreas Oberweis <andreas.oberweis(a)kit.edu> To: wi <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS ============== Kundeninduzierte Orchestrierung komplexer Dienstleistungen ================================================= Interdisziplinärer Workshop im Rahmen der Informatik 2012/GMDS 2012 -- "Was bewegt uns in der/die Zukunft" 16.09.2012 bis 21.09.2012 Braunschweig http://www.se.ifi.uni-heidelberg.de/KOR Problemstellung ============== Viele Dienstleistungen können auf Grund ihrer Komplexität nicht von einem einzigen Unternehmen bzw. einer einzigen Organisation bereitgestellt werden. Solche komplexen Dienstleistungen werden dann aus Komponenten-Dienstleistungen verschiedener Organisationen orchestriert, d.h. zusammengestellt. Beispiele dazu finden sich in vielen Branchen: So erfordert z.B. die Bereitstellung einer Transportdienstleistung für eine Person, die von ihrer Heimatadresse zu einem anderen Ort fahren möchte, möglicherweise Komponenten-Dienstleistungen von Taxi-, Straßenbahn- und Eisenbahnunternehmen. Zur Versorgung eines Patienten sind möglicherweise Komponenten-Dienstleistungen von Krankenhäusern, niedergelassenen Fachärzten und Rehabilitationseinrichtungen erforderlich. Ähnliche Herausforderungen finden sich im Finanz-, Bildungs- oder Freizeitbereich. Stellt ein Anbieter fest, dass seine Kunden komplexe Dienstleistungen erwarten, geht er oft eine Kooperation mit Anbietern von erforderlichen Komponenten-Dienstleistungen ein und orchestriert so die komplexe Dienstleistung für seine Kunden. Neben diesem klassischen Szenario ermöglicht das Internet zunehmend die Emanzipation der Kunden von dem zentralen Anbieter. Kunden suchen autonom nicht nur nach preisgünstigeren Angeboten, sondern auch nach Dienstleistungen, mit denen sie klassische Dienstleistungen selbst ergänzen oder gar ersetzen können. Die informationstechnische Unterstützung dieser kundeninduzierten Orchestrierung erfordert das Zusammenspiel mehrerer Disziplinen, so dass betriebswirtschaftliche Erkenntnisse von Kundenorientierung und Organisationsvernetzung mit den Entwicklungsansätzen des Service Engineering und des Prozessmanagements sowie der technischen Umsetzung in Softwarekomponenten verzahnt und auf spezifische Anwendungsgebiete zugeschnitten werden. Mögliche Themengebiete des Workshops ================================= Das Ziel dieses Workshops ist es, Praktiker und Forschende, die an einem disziplinübergreifenden Ansatz interessiert sind, zusammenzubringen. Beiträge können zu den folgenden und weiteren relevanten Themen eingereicht werden: * Methoden und Konzepte kundeninduzierter Orchestrierung z.B. Modellierung, Standardisierung, Betriebswirtschaftliche Aspekte * Technische Unterstützung für die kundeninduzierte Orchestrierung z.B. Datenmanagement, Architekturen, Plattformen für die Orchestrierung * Gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen z.B. Akzeptanz, Verantwortung, Digital Divide * Anwendungen und Praxisbeispiele aus der kundeninduzierten Orchestrierung z.B. Fallstudien aus der Medizin, der Aus- und Weiterbildung, dem Finanzbereich oder der Logistik Veranstaltungsstruktur ================== Für die eingeladenen und begutachteten Vorträge ist eine Präsentationsdauer von je 20 Minuten vorgesehen, an die sich eine 10-minütige Diskussion zum Thema anschließen wird. Evtl. soll eine Abschluss- oder Podiumsdiskussion stattfinden. Hinweise zur Einreichung von Beiträgen =============================== Beiträge sollten bis zu 12 Seiten umfassen und in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst sein. Es sind die LNI-Formatvorlagen der GI zu verwenden, zu finden unter: http://www.gi.de/service/publikationen/lni/ Die Beiträge sind als PDF-Datei über EasyChair einzureichen: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kor2012 Akzeptierte Beiträge werden in der GI-Edition "Lecture Notes in Informatics" (LNI) veröffentlicht, falls die AutorInnen das wünschen. Termine ======= Einreichung von Beiträgen: 30.04.2012 Benachrichtigung über Annahme/Ablehnung: 31.05.2012 Einreichung der Druckvorlagen: 14.06. 2012 Workshop: im Zeitraum vom 16.09. - 21.09.2012 Programmkomitee =============== Rainer Alt, Universität Leipzig Ruth Breu, Universität Innsbruck Peter Haas, FH Dortmund Reinhold Haux, Universität Braunschweig Dirk Mattfeld, Universität Braunschweig Andreas Oberweis, KIT/FZI Karlsruhe Hubert Österle, Universität St. Gallen Barbara Paech, Universität Heidelberg Alfred Winter, Universität Leipzig

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 4th International Workshop on Managing Insider Security Threats (MIST 2012) Datum: Thu, 8 Mar 2012 10:31:54 -0500 Von: Shuyuan Mary Ho <smho(a)drexel.edu> Antwort an: smho(a)drexel.edu An: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for multiple copies. ========================== CALL for PAPERS ========================== 4th International Workshop on Managing Insider Security Threats (MIST 2012) http://isyou.info/conf/mist12 November 8-9, 2012, Nishijin Plaza, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan ========================== IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------- Submission Deadline: July 31, 2012 Acceptance Notification: August 31, 2012 Camera-Ready & Registration: September 30, 2012 OVERVIEW ------------------------------------- During the past two decades, information security technology developments have been mainly concerned with intrusion detection to prevent unauthorized attacks from outside the network. This includes hacking, virus propagation, spyware and more. However, according to a recent Gartner Research Report, information leaks have drastically increased from insiders who are legally authorized to access corporate information. The unauthorized leak of critical or proprietary information can cause significant damage to corporate image and reputation, perhaps even weakening its competitiveness in the marketplace. On a larger scale, government and public sectors may suffer competitive loss to other nations due to an internal intelligence breach. While the leaking of critical information by insiders has a lower public profile than that of viruses and hacker attacks, the financial impact and loss can be just as devastating. The objective of this workshop is to showcase the most recent challenges and advances in security technologies and management systems for preventing information breaches by insiders. The workshop promotes state-of-the-art research, surveys and case analyses of practical significance. Physical, managerial, and technical countermeasures will be covered in the context of an integrated security management system that protects critical cyber-infrastructure against unauthorized internal attack. We expect that this workshop will be a trigger for further research and technology improvements related to this important subject. TOPICS -------- -Theoretical foundations and algorithms for addressing insider threats -Insider threat assessment and modeling -Security technologies to prevent, detect and predict insider threats -Validating the trustworthiness of staff -Post-insider threat incident analysis -Data breach modeling and mitigation techniques -Registration, authentication and identification -Certification and authorization -Database security -Device control system -Digital forensic system -Fraud detection -Network access control system -Intrusion detection -Keyboard information security -Information security governance -Information security management systems -Risk assessment and management -Log collection and analysis -Trust management -IT compliance (audit) -Continuous auditing -Corporate ethics, accountability and integrity -Decision-making modeling and process **General Chair Ilsun You (Korean Bible University, South Korea) **Steering Committee Dieter Gollmann (Hamburg University of Technology, Germany) Kouichi Sakurai (Kyushu University, Japan) **Program Co-Chairs (1) Track: Insider Threats Prevention Shuyuan Mary Ho (Drexel University, USA) (2) Track: Information Leakage Prevention Kangbin Yim (Soonchunhyang University, Korea) **Local Arrangement Chair Yoshiaki Hori (Kyushu University, Japan) **Program Committee Toshihiro Yamauchi (Okayama University, Japan) Masahiro Mambo (Kanazawa University, Japan) AUTHOR INSTRUCTION ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers: they must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other conferences that have proceedings.
