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=478XKLPK336RGNBLM9K8KUR&b=XUM9M9… ----------------------------------------------------------------- To FORWARD: http://internetmailmanager.com/s/fwd.asp?a=478XKLPK336RGNBLM9K8KUR&b=XUM9M9… ----------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE: http://internetmailmanager.com/s/us.asp?a=478XKLPK336RGNBLM9K8KUR&b=XUM9M9B… ---------------------------------------------------

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters on Technology Enhanced Learning
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters on Technology Enhanced Learning Datum: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 11:33:55 +0100 Von: Jelena Jovanovic <jeljov(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleagues, Many thanks to those of you who have responded to our previous call for chapters/papers (http://jelenajovanovic.net/tel-cfp-2012.html) with interesting proposals. We would like to further strengthen the coverage of the forthcoming book on the following topics: - Semantic technologies (including Semantic Web technologies and natural language processing) - Educational data mining and learning analytics - Technologies for interoperability, sharing and integration of educational resources - Open learning content and tools - Learning design and different design approaches - Accessible learning for all If you work on any of the above-mentioned areas and are interested in this publication, please send us your chapter proposals no later than March 25, 2012. The original Call for chapters/papers and our contact details are given below, and can also be found at: http://jelenajovanovic.net/tel-cfp-2012.html <http://jelenajovanovic.net/tel-cfp-2> Best wishes, Jelena and Raymond *** Original Call for Chapters/Papers *** CALL FOR CHAPTERS/PAPERS on (1) the general theme of Technology Enhanced Learning for an edited book (2) a special section on ?Game-based Learning: Design and Applications? of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Information, Knowledge, and Management (IJIKM) URL: http://jelenajovanovic.net/tel-cfp-2012.html Full Chapters/Papers Due: 15 APRIL 2012 AIM & SCOPE Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) is a very broad and increasingly mature research field. It encompasses a variety of research topics, ranging from the study of different pedagogical approaches, teaching techniques and strategies for online learning to the application of advanced technologies in educational settings (e.g., different kinds of mobile devices, sensors and sensor networks that provide the technical foundation for context-aware, ubiquitous learning). The TEL community has also been exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies and techniques for the development of intelligent learning environments capable of adapting to the learners? needs and preferences and providing learners with personalized learning experience. Recognizing the potential of online social networks, social media and Web-based social software tools as learning platforms for online education, the TEL community has poured significant time and effort into researching how these popular technologies could be combined with appropriate pedagogical approaches to make learning experience more engaging, satisfying and successful. Among the most important results of these research efforts are personal learning environments that allow learners to create mash-ups of diverse social software tools based on their own needs and preferences, as well as to create and maintain their online learning networks. Undeniably, technological advances are making education more accessible to an increasing number of people worldwide; to fully exploit the huge benefit the technology is offering, the TEL community is exploring efficient approaches for adapting learning resources to address language, generation and cultural specificities. Aiming to make learning accessible to all, the community has also focused on the development of solutions for learners with special needs. Finally, it should be noted that all the above mentioned research efforts of the TEL community are finding their applications in different learning contexts and domains, including formal education and informal learning, as well as workplace learning in small, medium and large companies. Since the scope of TEL research is constantly evolving, the above given overview of the current research efforts does not aim to be exhaustive by any means. Instead, its purpose is to give some insights into the breadth of research topics and challenges that the edited book aims to cover. Accordingly, the recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Technological Foundation for Advanced Educational Solutions - Social software and social computing - Semantic technologies (including Semantic Web technologies and natural language processing) - Mobile technologies, sensors, context-aware and ubiquitous computing - Educational data mining and learning analytics - Technologies for interoperability, sharing and integration of educational resources - Learner modeling and other technologies for personalization and adaptation - Open learning content and tools Pedagogical Foundation for Advanced Educational Solutions - Collaborative learning and knowledge building - Problem- and project-based learning - Learner motivation and engagement - Game-based learning - Learning design and different design approaches Individual and Organizational Learning - Self-regulated learning - Communities of learners & Communities of practice - Knowledge management and organizational learning - Lifelong learning - Informal learning Accommodating Diversities - Accessible learning for all - Addressing language, generation and cultural differences As can be seen from this list of topics, one of the areas in TEL is game-based learning. Researchers have found that educational and/or computer-based games have real potential as learning tools. It has been shown, for example, that games can help players to improve their problem solving and negotiation skills, narrative and communication skills as well as non-linear thinking patterns. Game-based learning has already been successfully applied to both the school and workplace settings, and their adoption is continually increasing. In addition, there has recently been an increasing interest in ?gamification? of education as a means to increase students? motivation for learning. Gamification refers to the use of game design elements, or the so-called game mechanics, in non-game contexts and applications with the aim of increasing users? engagement with those applications. Game design elements are often very efficient in increasing motivation as they are grounded on research results of positive psychology. While educational games have been studied extensively for years, the gamification of education, i.e., the application of game mechanics in online learning environments with the aim of motivating learners to engage with the contents, activities and tools offered by these environments, is an emerging research area that has just started to attract the attention of education-oriented research communities. Regardless of their maturity, both research areas face many interesting and challenging research questions, among which, for the special section on ?Game-based Learning: Design and Applications?, the most interesting are those related to motivation as one of the key determinants of successful learning and knowledge building activities, both in academic and workplace settings. Accordingly, in this special section we welcome submissions that report on: - the design and development of educational games that motivate users to indulge in learning activities - the application of game design elements in online learning environments with the aim of increasing learners? motivation and engagement - the evaluation of educational games or game mechanics in real world educational settings SUBMISSION PROCEDURE For the edited book, prospective authors are invited to submit on or before February 29, 2012 a 2-page proposal to jeljov(a)gmail.com <mailto:jeljov@gmail.com> (cc. rchiong(a)swin.edu.au <mailto:rchiong@swin.edu.au>) clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 15, 2012. All submitted chapters will be reviewed by at least three reviewers and the final decision of acceptance or rejection will be based on their recommendations. For the special section of IJIKM, all submissions should follow the guidelines available at http://ijikm.org/submitm.html. During the submission process, please indicate ?Special Section on Game-based Learning: Design and Applications? in the comments area. Full papers should be submitted by April 15, 2012 (proposals are not required before the full paper submission, but prospective authors are encouraged to indicate their interests any time before the submission deadline). IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for full chapters/papers: April 15, 2012 Notification of acceptance/rejection: June 15, 2012 Deadline for final submissions: August 15, 2012 EDITORS Jelena JOVANOVIC, jeljov(a)gmail.com <mailto:jeljov@gmail.com> Faculty of Organizational Sciences University of Belgrade Jove Ilica 154 11000 Belgrade SERBIA Raymond CHIONG, rchiong(a)swin.edu.au <mailto:rchiong@swin.edu.au> Faculty of Higher Education Swinburne University of Technology 50 Melba Avenue, Lilydale Victoria 3140 AUSTRALIA EDITORIAL BOARD Jacqueline Bourdeau, Télé-université, UQAM, Canada Tantatape Brahmasrene, Purdue University North Central, USA Cyrille Desmoulins, Université Joseph Fourier, France Vladan Devedzic, University of Belgrade, Serbia Darina Dicheva, Winston-Salem State University, USA Jon Dron, Athabasca University, Canada Martin Ebner, TU Graz, Austria Dragan Gasevic, Athabasca University, Canada Monique Grandbastien, Université Henri Poincaré, France Marek Hatala, Simon Fraser University, Canada Seiji Isotani, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil Zoran Jeremic, University of Belgrade, Serbia June Lu, University of Houston-Victoria, USA Riichiro Mizoguchi, Osaka University, Japan Kai Pata, Tallinn University, Estonia Demetrios G Sampson, University of Piraeus, Greece Li Suhong, Bryant University, USA Shouhong Wang, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, USA Thomas Weise, University of Science and Technology of China, China Janice Whatley, University of Salford, UK Fridolin Wild, Knowledge Media Institute, UK

The conference will be held on Maui, Hawaii. We invite state-of-art empirical, theoretical, experimental, and simulation research along with rigorous case studies exploring the increasing complex roles that information systems now play in the design of successful operations at many supply chain and service systems. We are also soliciting comprehensive reviews of relevant research, and applications highlighting the use of new technologies, methods, and techniques. In particular, we want to systematically explore the complex interplay between business process designs, technology, organizational architectures, and information sharing. There is a growing body of research within the economics, marketing, operations management, information systems, and healthcare communities which are starting to address those issues. We expect to see applications analyzing enterprise resource allocation, call center management, capacity planning, revenue management, scheduling, inventory management, and global coordination of supply chains, logistical operations, dynamic pricing, contingent contracting, and the impact of information asymmetry across market agents. Thus the track is open to a wide range of content areas that lend themselves to the analysis of information issues in Supply Chain and Service System Design. Selected papers from the minitrack will be fast tracked to the special issue of DSS. Important Dates: June 15 Submit full manuscripts for review. Aug 15 Acceptance notices are emailed to authors by the Review System. Sept 15 Accepted authors submit Final Paper Oct 1 Early registration fee deadline.

Fwd: [AISWorld] UBIQUITOUS USER MODELING – STATE OF THE ART AND CURRENT CHALLENGES - June 25th - 28th, Haifa, Israel
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Mar '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] UBIQUITOUS USER MODELING – STATE OF THE ART AND CURRENT CHALLENGES - June 25th - 28th, Haifa, Israel Datum: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 17:20:48 +0200 Von: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il> An: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> UBIQUITOUS USER MODELING ? STATE OF THE ART AND CURRENT CHALLENGES International Workshop at Haifa, Israel Research Workshop of the Israel Science Foundation June 25th ? 28th, 2012 University of Haifa, Israel Website: http://cri.haifa.ac.il/U2M2012/ Email: upworkshop.2012(at)gmail(dot)com ========== Summary and Theme ========== In today's world, computer systems are part of almost every service we receive; we either interact directly with them (as in: ATMs, movies/transportation tickets purchasing kiosks, medical information kiosks, etc.) or they operate in the background (e.g., food ordering, medical treatment, flight boarding, shopping, etc.). Such services have the potential to be personalized to users' preferences and needs in ways that will make them more friendly and useful. However, in order to do that, knowledge about the target user is required. Asking users each time for their preferences and needs can be time consuming for the user, inefficient and irritating. Beyond that, services are delivered everywhere and in changing environments; this means that the context varies too (with/without internet connectivity, local/abroad, etc.). Recent developments in technology (e.g., ubiquity of smart mobile devices) and social trends (e.g., online social networking) bring us closer to ubiquitous personalization, a situation where no matter where we go we will be able to receive services tailored to our personal preferences. In order to make ubiquitous personalization available to the masses, researchers need to draw upon knowledge that is multidisciplinary. Future personalized ubiquitous solutions need to address topics such as: communication interfaces, user interfaces, ubiquitous user modeling, lifelong user modeling and more. The workshop is intended to bring together researchers, graduate students and industry people in the area of ubiquitous user modeling (and related areas). The workshop will be an opportunity for researchers to share and collaborate on ideas related to ubiquitous user modeling, lifelong user modeling, personalization and other related topics. It will be a great opportunity for graduate students to present their work, get feedback, learn and meet leading researchers in this area. ========== List of Topics ========== ? Personalization o Personalization in mobile and ubiquitous computing o Location based personalization o Semantic Web approaches and ontologies for personalization o Social Web approaches for personalization o Spatial and temporal reasoning for ubiquitous personalization o Integrated reasoning and inferences with user and context models o Personalization in intelligent environments like smart homes or smart cars o User Interfaces personalization o Lifelong aspects in personalization ? User Modeling o User modeling interoperability o Distributed and externalized user modeling o Construction and acquisition of distributed user models o Conflict resolution for ubiquitous user modeling o Lifelong user modeling ? Privacy o Privacy, security and trust in ubiquitous personalization - How to store, transfer and share user model parts while preserving the users privacy and anonymity. ? Infrastructure o Interfaces and architectures for supporting personalization in changing states of connectivity (online vs. offline) o Ubiquitous communication interfaces for transferring user models ========== Format ========== The workshop will be divided into thematic sessions. Every session will be lead by an invited speaker and include an invited talk, a few position papers and a concluding discussion. ========== Important Dates ========== April 22nd, 2012 Position papers submission April 29th, 2012 Notification of acceptance June 25th, 2012 Workshop Day ========== To Participate ========== If you wish to present at the workshop, please submit a four-page position paper related to your experience with respect to the workshop?s theme by April 22nd, 2012. Demos and Videos are also welcome. Following the workshop, submissions may be solicited to submit a full paper for a potential special issue on the topic. Industry and academia people who simply wish to participate may register by email. Submissions and registrations should be sent to: upworkshop.2012(at)gmail(dot)com. ======= Organizers ========= Judy Kay, Sydney University, Tsvi Kuflik, University of Haifa, Bob Kummerfeld, Sydney University, Amit Tiroshi, University of Haifa ======= Invited speakers =========== Shlomo Berkovsky - CSIRO, Australia Dominikus Heckmann - DFKI, Germany Geert-Jan Houben - TU Delft, The Netherlands Alfred Kobsa ? the University California, Irvine, CA, USA Antonio Kuger ?

Fwd: [computational.science] CFP: 2012 Workshop on the Security of the Internet of Things (SecIoT'12) - Deadline approaching! (March 16)
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: 2012 Workshop on the Security of the Internet of Things (SecIoT'12) - Deadline approaching! (March 16) Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:40:15 +0100 From: roman <roman(a)lcc.uma.es> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2012 Workshop on the Security of the Internet of Things (SecIoT'12) Munich (Germany), July 30, 2012 http://www.nics.uma.es/seciot12 in conjunction with ICCCN 2012, July 30 – August 2, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: ---------------- Paper Submission due: March 16, 2012 (Extended) Acceptance notification: April 25, 2012 Final papers due: May 10, 2012 Overview/Scope: --------------- While there are many definitions of the Internet of Things (IoT), all of them revolve around the same central concept: a world-wide network of interconnected objects. These objects will make use of multiple technological building blocks (e.g. wireless communication, sensors, actuators, RFID) and connectivity paradigms (e.g. cloud-based infrastructures, P2P systems) in order to allow people and things to be connected anytime anyplace, with anything and anyone. However, mainly due to the inherent heterogeneity of this vision and its broad scope, there will not be a single silver bullet security solution that will fulfill all the security requirements of the IoT. Therefore: How can we include security as a core element of the IoT? How will the IoT interact with other security mechanisms of the Future Internet? What security requirements will be truly challenged by the ultimate vision of the IoT? It is precisely the goal of this workshop to bring together researchers and industry experts in areas relevant to the security of the Internet of Things to discuss these and other significant issues. Moreover, this workshop also has the objective to serve as a forum not only for presenting cutting-edge research, but also for debating the role of security and its practical implications in the development of the IoT. Topics of interest for the workshop include the following: ---------------------------------------------------------- * New security problems in the context of the IoT. * Privacy risks and data management problems. * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities. * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration. * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things". * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies. * Legal challenges and governance Issues. * Resilience to external and internal attacks. * Context-Aware security. * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT. * Web services security and other application-layer issues. * Security of cloud-based M2M/IoT platforms. * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management. * Usability of security and privacy technologies in the context of the IoT. Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS (http://edas.info/) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages. One additional page is permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages). Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es). A paper abstract must be registered on EDAS (https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=12223) by the deadline. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the ICCCN 2012 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author. ICCCN 2012 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE and IEEE Communication Society. As such, all accepted and registered workshop papers will be published in the Proceedings of the ICCCN 2012, which will be published by the IEEE. A registered paper, be conference paper or workshop paper, needs to be presented at the ICCCN 2012 venue by one of the registered co-authors to be included in the IEEE Xplore.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS-46 Call for papers for the minitrack on: SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES IN COLLABORATION RESEARCH Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 14:42:19 -0600 From: Triparna de Vreede <tdevreede(a)unomaha.edu> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ** HICSS-46 Call for papers for the minitrack on: *"SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES * *IN COLLABORATION RESEARCH"* /Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track/ /of the Forty-Sixth Annual/ /Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS)/ */Maui/*/, HI - January 7 - 10, 2013/ Papers are invited for the minitrack on "*Social & Psychological Perspectives in Collaboration Research*" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS). One of the major assets of any organization is its people. Understanding of the people and their social, psychological, cultural, and emotional environment helps organizations develop systems and processes that can lead to a productive workplace. Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in which an understanding of people is the critical link that is needed in order to survive and thrive in today's competitive environment. Technology supported collaboration and communication between individuals entails complex social and psychological situations. An understanding of social and psychological aspects of collaboration is essential to creating and sustaining productive work environments. The use of collaboration and communication systems and the consequences of such use are framed by the psychological and social factors concerning the users and their work environment. It is important to understand these factors to successfully facilitate the sustained implementation and use of these technologies. Further, knowledge of the psycho-social aspects of technology-supported collaboration and communication also assists in detecting, avoiding, and effectively resolving the issues that may arise from using such technologies. Thus, it is essential to study the psycho-social issues surrounding the design and usage of these technologies. Modern collaboration technologies, including but not limited to Social Media and Web 2.0, offer various ways to connect, collaborate, form communities, and share information and knowledge. As many organizations are figuring out productive ways to create value from collaborative networks, researchers have intensified efforts to understand and design ways in which communication technologies can support both work-related and pleasure related activities. Such research often involves or requires psychosocial perspectives. Thus, this minitrack provides one of the key international platforms to host research papers and presentations that provide a social/psychological perspective on studying issues related to the dynamic interplay between people, their environment, and the collaboration technologies they use. Some examples of areas which can be a part of the minitrack include: ·Personality, behavioral, and social factors related to communication and collaboration in co-located and distributed groups ·Social and psychological effects of using systems to support collaboration ·Attractions and affiliations in groups arising from use of social networks ·Team/group psychology and use of communication technologies ·Effects and consequences of personality on system design and use ·Psycho-social factors influencing acceptance and implementation of collaboration technologies ·Virtual leadership and leadership at a distance ·Online aggression and violence ·Motivating employees to adopt, create, use collaborative work practices ·Correlations between organizational performance and attention to human capital ·Influence of communication technologies on perceptions of self and others ·Emotion and networking technologies ·Social and interpersonal implications of communications over cyberspace ·Internet dependencies and addictions ·Online evaluations and assessments of social and psychological well being ·Interpersonal treatment with the use of online technologies ·Human Resource practices online (e.g. performance appraisal, hiring and firing, job analysis) ·Altruism, conformity, and other social factors in online communications However, the above examples do not provide a comprehensive overview. We invite any paper that contains original research highlighting the human component in collaboration and communication technologies.There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in nature. Broad themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome): ·Social psychology (e.g. Motivation, Trust, Social learning, Self efficacy, Behavioral theories) ·Organizational psychology (e.g. Self monitoring, Interpersonal treatment, OCBs, Globalization) ·Cultural psychology ·Personality ·Leadership ·Prejudice and discrimination ·Attitudes and social intelligence ·Violence and aggression ·Attractions and affiliations in groups ·Group psychology (e.g. Social loafing, ·Mood and emotions ·Diversity ·Internet use and social/psychological well being ·Sexual harassment ·Performance appraisal MINITRACK COORDINATORS: Roni Reiter-Palmon University of Nebraska at Omaha Department of Psychology Director of Research, the Center for Collaboration Science 1110 South 67^th street, Omaha, NE 68182-0116 USA Phone: (402) 554-4081 E-mail: rreiter-palmon(a)unomaha.edu <mailto:rreiter-palmon@unomaha.edu> Triparna de Vreede *(primary contact)* University of Nebraska at Omaha Department of Psychology Research Associate, the Center for Collaboration Science 1110 South 67^th street, Omaha, NE 68182-0116 USA Phone: (402) 452-6116 E-mail: tdevreede(a)unomaha.edu <mailto:tdevreede@unomaha.edu> The purpose of HICSS is to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas, research results, development activities, and applications among academicians and practitioners in computer-based systems sciences.
