Rosado University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain David.GRosado(a)uclm.es <mailto:David.GRosado@uclm.es> Dr. Luis Enrique Sánchez Sicaman-NT, Departament of R+D, Spain lesanchez(a)sicaman-nt.com Dr. Carlos Blanco University of Cantabria, Spain blancobc(a)unican.es Dr. Jan Jürjens Technical University of Dortmund, Germany jan.jurjens(a)cs.tu-dortmund.de <mailto:jan.jurjens@cs.tu-dortmund.de> _Workshop Background and Goals_ Information Systems Security is one of the most pressing challenges facing all kinds of organizations today. Although many companies have discovered how critical information is to the success of their business or operations, very few have managed to be effective in maintaining their information secure, avoiding unauthorized access, preventing intrusions, stopping secret information disclosure, etc. There are various definitions of security, but all of them basically agree on the same components. Security in information systems considers the protection of information and of the systems that manage it, against a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize risks and maximize the return on investment and business opportunities. Security is, therefore, currently a widespread and growing concern that covers all areas of society: business, domestic, financial, government, and so on. In fact, the so-called information society is increasingly dependent on a wide range of software systems whose mission is critical, such as air traffic control systems, financial systems, or public health systems. The potential losses that are faced by businesses and organizations that rely on all these systems, both hardware and software, therefore signify that it is crucial for information systems to be properly secured from the outset. With the increasing dependence that the information society has on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the need to protect information is increasingly important for companies. The demand for products, systems and services with which to manage and maintain information is therefore increasing, and the realization of superficial security controls is not sufficient. It is necessary to apply a rigorous approach to the assessing and improvement of the security of products and processes that take place in the context of ICT. This has led to the emergence of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), which are of great importance to the stability of companies' information systems. In this new edition of WOSIS, the traditional information systems security topics will remain but we want explicitly focus the workshop on one of the most important issues and currently considered as it is security in Cloud computing. Although there are many benefits to adopting cloud computing, there are also some significant barriers to adoption as is security followed by issues regarding compliance, privacy and legal matters. Security is the main obstacle for many organizations in their move to the cloud, related to risk areas such as external data storage, dependency on the "public" internet, multi-tenancy and integration with internal security. The objective of this new edition is to contribute to the study and analysis of solutions and approaches which help to achieve and facilitate the level of security needed for such distributed environments and that its adoption is not any problem for the society, administration and enterprise. _Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:_ _Topic for Cloud Computing_ * Security Engineering for Cloud-Based Systems * Security Requirements Engineering for Cloud-Based Systems * Risks and threats in Cloud * Privacy and Data protection in Cloud * Cloud Legal Issues * Trust and policy management in Clouds * Issues and recent approaches in portability, interoperability and migration * Secure migration processes to cloud computing * Security in migration models * Systems adapted to the cloud * Storage security * Cloud Infrastructure Security * Security Governance in the Cloud * Risk management and assessment and third-party risk management * Identity & Access Management in the Cloud * Security and Virtualization__ * Security in SaaS, PaaS and IaaS * Security in Cloud applications * Cloud security models * MDA and MDS applied to cloud computing * Case studies _Rest of topics_ * Security in Software development Life Cycle * Information Security Management System * Security Management and Assessment * Analysis and management of risks * Security Implementation, Secure programming and Security Deployment * Case studies and experiences of secure software * Security culture * IT Governance * IT Service Continuity * Language-based Security * Open Security Standards and Security Certification * Common practice, legal and regulatory issues * Security for SOA, Web Services, Grid computing * Security for Databases and Data Warehouses * Metadata and Security * Secure Data Management * Workflow and Business Process Security * Security Metrics and Measurement * Security Ontologies * Security in Software Product Lines * Distributed and Network Security * Security & Trust Models * Authentication, Authorization and Access Control * Anonymity and Privacy * Security for Mobile Computing, sensors networks, multimedia systems * Security for Electronic Commerce, Electronic Business and e-Services (e-voting, e-banking, e-governement, e-health) * Security in Social Networks * Security for embedded systems, smart cards and RFID * Security Issues in Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing * Intellectual Property Protection * Digital Rights Management (DRM).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP 7th IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems (ESAS) as part of COMPSAC 2012 Deadline 30.03.2012] Datum: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:10:39 +0200 Von: unlandr(a)cs.uni-due.de Antwort an: unlandr(a)cs.uni-due.de An: rainer.unland(a)icb.uni-due.de ESAS 2012: The 7th IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems Held in conjunction with the 36th COMPSAC, the IEEE Signature Conference on Computers, Software, and Applications. COMPSAC 2012 will be held in Izmir (Turkey) on July 16-20, 2012 Important Dates March 30th: Paper Submission Deadline April 20th: Notification Deadline May 2nd: Camera ready Goals for the Workshop ESAS 2012 has two complementary objectives: i. To inquire into the theory and practice of engineering semantic multi-agent systems, especially methods, means, and best cases. ii. To explore into unifying software engineering methodologies employed in implementing semantic MAS applications across domains. Workshop Theme Applying Semantic Technologies in Research and Development of Ontology-Enabled Multi-Agent Systems. Semantic Web technology topics are welcome. Semantic web technologies render dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, shared content equally accessible to human reader and software agents. Distributed agents functioning autonomously can utilize semantic Web content to gather and aggregate knowledge, reason and infer new results towards achieving their goals and generating new knowledge. Such knowledge in turn may be disseminated and used to achieve the shared goal of the agents system. Here the vision is to achieve a synergy with multi-agent systems (MAS) technologies whereby both semantics and agents will be equally in the center stage. ESAS workshop series aims at garnering the synergy of both technologies by taking up both the semantic web and the agent aspects of the common research issue. Topics of interest span a wide spectrum in both theory and practice of autonomous semantic agents, context-aware intelligent agents, agents as semantic web services, software agents, mobile agents, agent architectures, multi-agent systems, agent communities, cooperation and goal seeking through sharing policy and ontology, safety& security in systems, other QoS issues, and so on. Mobile agent and MAS technologies are crucial in realizing multi-party dynamic application systems. Semantic Web technologies augment MAS by enabling agents with functioning based on the semantics of their mission and of the world around them. Agents, implemented as Web services in developing distributed control and processing applications, entail interesting consequences such as situation awareness, semantic composition of services, context sensitive long-lasting transactions, effecting service policies and quality levels, etc. Complex applications could become realizable with novel features such as factory floor automation for flexible production, collaborative discovery of uncharted geography (for example, cooperative labyrinth discovery), traffic management and info dissemination with facilitation of emergency services, financial markets forecasting with optimization of portfolio gain, etc. We envisage a strong undercurrent of intelligent software agents, mobile agents, and MAS running through this workshop; side by side with the use of semantic technologies, there are several foci of interest: ? Software Agents, Mobile Agents, and MAS: issues relating to architecture, implementation, coordination, service levels, security of pervasive semantic or otherwise agents. ? Agent, MAS and Semantic Web Technologies: concomitant utilization of specific technologies in agent, MAS, and semantic Web implementations; semantic agent communities& applications; case studies of best-practice MAS applications; projects in the making; ? Ontologies for Agents and MAS: agent cooperation and coordination ontology; ontology of workflow in MAS; ontologies for distributed applications and integration; sharing and semantic interoperability; discovery and operations on ontologies; trust& security issues; ? Platforms for semantic agent and MAS implementation: languages, frameworks, tools, integrated development environments and software engineering practices supporting semantic or otherwise software agent& MAS architectures, coordination, trust& security mechanisms, description, discovery and composition of agent-based services. ? Other subjects of relevance in semantic technologies, semantic software agents, mobile agents, agent-based and multi-agent systems. In unison with the main conference, the main theme of ESAS 2012 will be 'Applying semantic Web technologies in developing software agents, mobile agents and multi-agent systems towards achieving trustworthy software systems'. In relation to trustworthiness, topics of interest include the following among others: ? software development, ? software systems, ? systems and agent technology, ? systems and reasoning, ? systems and semantic technology, ? database systems, ? embedded systems, ? game and entertainment systems, ? healthcare information systems, ? Internet access and use for children, ? education, ? entertainment, and so on. Likely Participants Researchers and practitioners of software agents, mobile agents, MAS and semantic web technologies are expected to propose papers and to attend the workshop. Those with interests in any aspect of semantic agents and agent-based systems are welcome. Researchers working on realization of multi-agent systems through semantic web technology and ontology-based agent applications, including distributed control, security, interoperability, service levels, and quality issues in such systems, are especially encouraged to propose papers. Enterprises and research centers developing languages, integrated development environments, tools, and middleware that can be employed in engineering the above are encouraged to propose technical papers, demo and tutorial presentations. Prominent researchers of the field will be called upon to deliver invited talk and submit invited papers or position statements. Post-Workshop Activity The authors of selected papers may be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for possible publication in a special issue of a relevant journal and/or an edited book. Details will be revealed pending conclusion of negotiations. A special issue of the best papers of ESAS 2006 has been published with Multiagent and Grid Systems - An International Journal, IOS Press, ISSN 1574-1702; Volume 4, Number 3, 2008, pp: 293-346. The authors of the papers accepted at ESAS 2007 and 2008 were invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in the Special Issue on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems of Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering by Wiley-Blackwell Publishing. This special issue has now appeared in Vol 28, Issue 5, 410-487. The authors of ESAS 2009/10 were invited to submit an extended and revised version of their papers for publication in an edited volume titled Semantic Agent Systems: Foundations and Applications by Springer-Verlag; the book has been published (http://www.springer.com/engineering/mathematical/book/978-3-642-18307-2). Expected Achievements We expect to create a lively discussion and exchange medium for experts from the two fronts: agent-based systems and ontology-based systems. Equal representation of both by papers is being aimed at. Importance Semantic web technologies render dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, shared content equally accessible to human reader and software agents. Here the vision is to achieve a synergy with multi-agent systems (MAS) technologies whereby agents will be in the center stage. Other workshops have so far missed to garner the synergy of these technologies by taking up either the semantic web aspect or the agent aspect of the shared research issue. Format ESAS 2012 will consist of refereed papers, invited papers or position statements by prominent researchers of the field and a wrap-up panel of all authors. Submission Papers must be submitted electronically via the ESAS 2012 Submission Page (http://myreview.cs.iastate.edu/ESAS2012/). Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papershttp://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/submission. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers can be submitted as regular papers (six pages), and the acceptance will depend on reviewer feedback. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2012) by the IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant of the workshop in order to have the paper published in the proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by one of its authors.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Participation: Third International Conference on Software Business
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Participation: Third International Conference on Software Business Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:56:09 -0400 From: Jaap Kabbedijk <J.Kabbedijk(a)uu.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Participation Third International Conference on Software Business June 18-20, 2012, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts http://www.icsob.org Theme: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Software Business --------------------------------------------------------------- Advancements in the software industry have had a substantial impact not only on productivity and on GDP growth globally, but also on our daily work and life. Software business refers to commercial activities in the software industry, aimed at generating income from the delivery of software products and software services. Although the software business shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features making it a challenging domain for research. In particular, software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers. New developments like Apps that run on pre-existing platforms have emerged as a major force and are creating what is being labeled as the App Economy. We received a great number of paper submissions for the conference and glad to announce this call for participation. We expect to present to complete program shortly on www.icsob.org <http://www.icsob.org>. Workshops: ---------- During ICSOB2012, besides the main conference, two workshops will be organized. Fourth International Workshop on Software Ecosystems ---------------------------------------------------- After three successful workshops 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. Â 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 workshopâ??s focus was the â??idealâ?? architecture of a software platform. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Tutorial on Project Management ------------------------------- Managing project value through-out the software development life cycle: A practical approachÂ The objective of this tutorial is to describe how value can be used as a measurement of performance in product development, enabling decision makers to prioritize projects and tasks that are of most value to customers and the organization in relation to the effort spent. The tutorial is based on practical experience and current research. It will give directions of using value as a means to measure and increase performance. Â Benefits from taking this tutorial The tutorial will give insight into the main principles, state of the art and practice, potentials and challenges, as well as research and industrial directions of using value as a means to measure and increase performance in product development organizations.Â Â Who should participate? The intended audience for this tutorial is technology and development managers, project managers for product development projects, and product managers as well as researchers in the area. The tutorial is set on an intermediate level; it is expected that the participants have an understanding of software product development and software engineering in general. Â About the presenters Dr. Stefan Cedergren is an associate senior lecturer at MÃ¤lardalen University, Sweden, where he is a member of the Software Engineering Laboratory. His research interests include how performance can be measured and managed in software product development. Â Dr. Stig Larsson has more than 25 years of experience of software product development in various positions in industry, including software developer, project manager and managing R&D organizations with more than 250 persons in a distributed environment.

Rosado University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain David.GRosado(a)uclm.es <mailto:David.GRosado@uclm.es> Dr. Luis Enrique Sánchez Sicaman-NT, Departament of R+D, Spain lesanchez(a)sicaman-nt.com Dr. Carlos Blanco University of Cantabria, Spain blancobc(a)unican.es Dr. Jan Jürjens Technical University of Dortmund, Germany jan.jurjens(a)cs.tu-dortmund.de <mailto:jan.jurjens@cs.tu-dortmund.de> _Workshop Background and Goals_ Information Systems Security is one of the most pressing challenges facing all kinds of organizations today. Although many companies have discovered how critical information is to the success of their business or operations, very few have managed to be effective in maintaining their information secure, avoiding unauthorized access, preventing intrusions, stopping secret information disclosure, etc. There are various definitions of security, but all of them basically agree on the same components. Security in information systems considers the protection of information and of the systems that manage it, against a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize risks and maximize the return on investment and business opportunities. Security is, therefore, currently a widespread and growing concern that covers all areas of society: business, domestic, financial, government, and so on. In fact, the so-called information society is increasingly dependent on a wide range of software systems whose mission is critical, such as air traffic control systems, financial systems, or public health systems. The potential losses that are faced by businesses and organizations that rely on all these systems, both hardware and software, therefore signify that it is crucial for information systems to be properly secured from the outset. With the increasing dependence that the information society has on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the need to protect information is increasingly important for companies. The demand for products, systems and services with which to manage and maintain information is therefore increasing, and the realization of superficial security controls is not sufficient. It is necessary to apply a rigorous approach to the assessing and improvement of the security of products and processes that take place in the context of ICT. This has led to the emergence of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), which are of great importance to the stability of companies' information systems. In this new edition of WOSIS, the traditional information systems security topics will remain but we want explicitly focus the workshop on one of the most important issues and currently considered as it is security in Cloud computing. Although there are many benefits to adopting cloud computing, there are also some significant barriers to adoption as is security followed by issues regarding compliance, privacy and legal matters. Security is the main obstacle for many organizations in their move to the cloud, related to risk areas such as external data storage, dependency on the "public" internet, multi-tenancy and integration with internal security. The objective of this new edition is to contribute to the study and analysis of solutions and approaches which help to achieve and facilitate the level of security needed for such distributed environments and that its adoption is not any problem for the society, administration and enterprise. _Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:_ _Topic for Cloud Computing_ * Security Engineering for Cloud-Based Systems * Security Requirements Engineering for Cloud-Based Systems * Risks and threats in Cloud * Privacy and Data protection in Cloud * Cloud Legal Issues * Trust and policy management in Clouds * Issues and recent approaches in portability, interoperability and migration * Secure migration processes to cloud computing * Security in migration models * Systems adapted to the cloud * Storage security * Cloud Infrastructure Security * Security Governance in the Cloud * Risk management and assessment and third-party risk management * Identity & Access Management in the Cloud * Security and Virtualization__ * Security in SaaS, PaaS and IaaS * Security in Cloud applications * Cloud security models * MDA and MDS applied to cloud computing * Case studies _Rest of topics_ * Security in Software development Life Cycle * Information Security Management System * Security Management and Assessment * Analysis and management of risks * Security Implementation, Secure programming and Security Deployment * Case studies and experiences of secure software * Security culture * IT Governance * IT Service Continuity * Language-based Security * Open Security Standards and Security Certification * Common practice, legal and regulatory issues * Security for SOA, Web Services, Grid computing * Security for Databases and Data Warehouses * Metadata and Security * Secure Data Management * Workflow and Business Process Security * Security Metrics and Measurement * Security Ontologies * Security in Software Product Lines * Distributed and Network Security * Security & Trust Models * Authentication, Authorization and Access Control * Anonymity and Privacy * Security for Mobile Computing, sensors networks, multimedia systems * Security for Electronic Commerce, Electronic Business and e-Services (e-voting, e-banking, e-governement, e-health) * Security in Social Networks * Security for embedded systems, smart cards and RFID * Security Issues in Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing * Intellectual Property Protection * Digital Rights Management (DRM).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - EUD4Services 2012 Capri, 21st May 2012 Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:18:09 +0100 From: Nikolay Mehandjiev <mehandjiev(a)gmail.com> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: 'Nikolay Mehandjiev' <mehandjiev(a)gmail.com> CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS EUD4Services 2012 3rd International Workshop on End User Development for Services - Grand Challenges For Research www.eud4services.org/Workshop2012/ to be held in Capri Island (Naples), Italy on May 21, 2012 in conjunction with AVI2012: Advanced Visual Interfaces http://www.avi2012.it/index.htm The Third International Workshop on End User Development for Services focuses on the grand challenges in applying End User Development ideas and principles to the area of service-oriented software design and construction. This follows from two previous workshops which charted the territory of existing tools and research systems, and created a community of researchers and practitioners working in the area. Service-oriented software promises to bring flexibility to organisational support, allowing applications to be constructed "on demand" thus keeping track with changing organisational needs. Constructing such software has so far been the prerogative of software professionals, who are trained to manage the complexity of software technology. Attempts to open up this activity to non-programmers, such as "mashups" have been mostly driven by details of the underlying technology such as event propagation and data connections between services. Researchers from the End User Development community have created theoretical and practical results which can be useful for opening up service software construction to non-programmers. However, the uptake of EUD within the SOA paradigm is hampered by a set of emerging issues, including intrinsic difficulties stemming from the complexity of technology and distributed nature of computations. We have established a community of academics and practitioners interested in the application of EUD for service design from different perspective such as software services, human-computer interaction, software engineering, artificial intelligence, computer-supported cooperative work and innovation management. We welcome new members to this community, and we would also like to invite existing workshop participants to join us again. ORGANISATION OF WORKSHOP The workhop will aim to explore a set of challenges to opening up service development to end users, and fuse the most pertinent ones with an analysis framework developed through the previous workshops to create a roadmap of this emerging area of research. The morning will start with a keynote presentation by Professor Gerhard Fischer as outlined in the next section. A number of challenges will then be presented and discussed by their contributors. In the afternoon, we will introduce the EUD4Services analysis framework and will work together on validating the framework and on using it to create a roadmap of EUD4Services. KEY NOTE PRESENTATION Professor Gerhard Fischer from the University of Colorado at Boulder will deliver a keynote presentation on domain-oriented design and meta-design in the context of user-driven software development. Gerhard is well known for his work in design environments and meta-design. AUDIENCE The workshop aims to sketch a research agenda on the topic of EUD in service-based computing which is likely to be of interest to several streams of research in software engineering, human-computer interaction, services computing. The purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who have faced the problem of making the SOA paradigm available to end-users, might have some ideas on how to facilitate it, and have experimented with these ideas. We expect to generate a debate on the potential of SOA for non-technical developers in both professional and personal lives. SUBMISSION OF CONTRIBUTION Please submit what you believe are the top three grand challenges in the design and development of service-oriented software by non-programmers (in a statement less than 500 words) using the online form available at: www.eud4services.org/Workshop2012/files/2.htm PROCEEDINGS The papers and presentations will be available on the workshop website, as well as a report of the main output from the workshop. At present we are applying to hold a special issue of a journal (details to be confirmed once we have formal acceptance of our proposal) on the topic of end user development for services. It is hoped that the discussions on the workshop will form an important input into this special issue, and will help participants shape reports on their existing research into papers fitting the theme of the issue.
