-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Fourth SoEA4EE Workshop (@ EDOC) - Call for Papers Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:16:09 +0100 From: Selmin Nurcan <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleague, I will be grateful to you for advertising the Fourth Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE'2012), for submitting your work and inviting your colleagues and/or research students to submit their work. SoEA4EE'2012 is organised in conjunction with the 16th International Enterprise Computing Conference (EDOC) on September 11th, 2012, Beijing, China. The goal of the SoEA4EE'2012 workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures and the software systems supporting them. Especially four themes of research shall be pursued: 1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the service-oriented enterprise architecture 2. Design of the service-oriented enterprise architecture 3. SoEA and Cloud-Computing 4. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise resources. Workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) and the IEEE Xplore. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop. The Call for Papers (PDF format) can be downloaded from the SoEA4EE'2012 Web site : http://crinfo.univ-paris1.fr/users/nurcan/SoEA4EE_2012/ Best regards, Selmin Nurcan SoEA4EE'2012 co-organiser *********************************************************************************************** Call for Papers Fourth International Workshop on Service oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE) in conjunction with EDOC 2012 September 11th, 2012, Beijing, China Organisers: Selmin Nurcan – University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France Rainer Schmidt – Aalen University, Germany Papers submission deadline: April 1, 2012 Detailed Call for Papers is below.

According to Ross et al. , smart companies define how they (will) do business (using an operating model) and design the processes and infrastructure critical to their current and future operations (using an enterprise architecture). Enterprise Engineering (EE) is the application of engineering principles to the design of Enterprise Architectures. It allows deriving the Enterprise Architecture from the enterprise goals and strategy and aligning it with the enterprise resources as shown in Figure 1, Enterprise architecture aims (i) to understand the interactions and all kind of articulations between business and information technology, (ii) to define how to align business components and IT components, as well as business strategy and IT strategy, and more particularly (iii) to develop and support a common understanding and sharing of those purposes of interest. Enterprise architecture is used to map the enterprise goal and strategy to the enterprise’s resources (actors, assets, IT supports) and to take into account the evolution of this mapping. It also provides documentation on the assignment of enterprise resources to the enterprise goals and strategy. There are different paradigms for creating enterprise architecture. The most important is to encapsulate the functionalities of IT resources as services. By this means, it is possible to clearly describe the contributions of IT both in terms of functionality and quality and to define a service-oriented enterprise architecture (SoEA). SoEA easily integrates wide-spread technological approaches such as SOA or emerging ones as cloud computing because they also use service as structuring and governing paradigm. The enterprise goals and strategies are mapped to a SoEA. SoEA differentiates four layers of services. Thus, its scope is much broader than the scope of SOA and also includes services not accessible through software such as business and infrastructure services. Services of different layers may be interconnected in service (value) nets to provide higher level services. 1. Business services are services, which directly support business processes. Business processes can also be developed dynamically (on-the-fly) using business services which are available in a repository for a given business domain. An example is call-centre services provided by an external service provider. 2. Software services exist as two types: (i) human-oriented applications, which are provided as Software as a Service, (ii) application services which are part of so-called SOA that are a popular paradigm for creating enterprise software. 3. Platform Services provide support of the development of applications. They provide services for the execution of applications, middleware stacks, web servers etc. 4. Infrastructure services are more hardware-flavoured services, which are provided using computers. They may have a human addressee but contain many infrastructure services such as providing computing power, storage etc. They are an important topic in management and practice collections such as ITILV3 or standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 have gained a high popularity. ------ GOALS ------ The goal of the workshop is to develop concepts and methods to assist the engineering and the management of service-oriented enterprise architectures and the software systems supporting them. Especially four themes of research shall be pursued: 1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the service-oriented enterprise architecture 2. Design of the service-oriented enterprise architecture 3. SoEA and Cloud-Computing 4. Mapping of service-oriented enterprise architecture to enterprise resources --------------------- TOPICS OF DISCUSSION --------------------- During the workshop we will discuss the following topics: 1. Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the SoEA - Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy? - Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the business strategy? - Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by services? - How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals and strategy? - How are services aligned with non-functional requirements? - How are services aligned with compliance requirements? - Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using SoEA? 2. Design of SoEA - How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services defined? - How are business services assigned to business processes? - How are business services assigned to non-functional requirements? - How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform and infrastructure services? - How are appropriate meta-services designed? - Which phases do the lifecycle of business, software, platform and infrastructure services contain? - How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored? - Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to services? - Which approaches exist for the continual improvement of services? 3. SoEA and Cloud-Computing - How does SoEA interrelate with cloud computing? - How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-services? - How differ cloud-services from other kinds of services? - How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-environments? - Which meta-services are necessary for cloud-environments? - How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, platform and infrastructure services- created? 4. Mapping of SoEA to enterprise resources - Which resources are relevant for SoEA? - How are services mapped to enterprise resources? - Which approaches exist to map services to resources? - Which information system architectures are adequate for services? - How can non-functional requirements be mapped to capacity planning of resources? ----------- SUBMISSION ----------- Full papers (8-10 pages in the IEEE-CS format) describing mature results are sought. In addition, short papers (4 pages in the IEEE-CS format) may be submitted to initiate discussion around ideas or preliminary research results and ongoing projects. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion. All contributions will be peer reviewed based on the complete version, being full or short. The review process for the two types of papers will be different because of their distinct purposes. All papers published in the EDOC 2012 workshop proceedings must be in the IEEE Computer Society format (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). It is strongly recommended that all papers are already in this format when they are first submitted to workshops. This gives precise picture of the paper length and avoids rework if the paper is accepted. Please submit your paper to Easychair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=soea4ee2012 At least one author of each accepted workshop paper will have to register for the whole EDOC 2012 conference and attend the workshop to present the paper. Analogously to previous years, there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2012. If a paper is not presented in the workshop, it will be removed from the workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The SoEA4EE workshop has been a full day workshop in conjunction with EDOC’09 in New Zealand, with EDOC’10 in Brasil and with EDOC’11 in Finland. The link for the proceedings of EDOC 2009 workshops is: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=5331971&isYear=2009.

The link for the proceedings of EDOC 2011 workshops is: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=6036125. ----------------- EXPECTED RESULTS ----------------- All papers will be published in the workshop wiki (www.soea4ee.org) before the workshop, so that everybody can learn about the problems that are important for other participants. The workshop will consist of long and short paper presentations, brainstorming sessions and discussions. A workshop report will be created collaboratively using the workshop wiki. ---------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------- Submission due: April 1, 2012 Notification: May 28, 2012 Camera-ready paper due: June 15, 2012 ------------------ PROGRAM COMMITTEE ------------------ João Paulo A.

In our second workshop (MSM 2011 in Boston, USA), we addressed the user interface aspects of modeling social media. In this workshop, we will look at collective intelligence in social media, that is, looking at how we can make sense of the content and context from social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Foursquare by analyzing tweets, tags, blog posts, likes, posts and checkins, in order to create new knowledge and semantic meaning. GOALS AND AUDIENCE ================== The workshop aims to attract and discuss various aspects of collective intelligence in social media which involve frameworks for collecting appropriate data and collecting enough amount of data, mining the data from different social media and context (e.g., from mobile phones), creating models for inferring collective intelligence, and evaluating the framework to determine the accuracy of the gathered collective intelligence. We want to bring together researchers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds interested in 1) exploring different perspectives and approaches to modeling complex social media phenomena and systems through collective intelligence, 2) the different purposes and applications that can be created from collective intelligence of social media, and 3) issues of integrating and validating collective intelligence of social media. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Topics may include, but are not limited to: * new modeling techniques and frameworks for representing collective intelligence in social media * mining techniques for social media to extract collective intelligence * algorithms for inferring semantics, meaning and creating collective intelligence from social media * applications for collecting and displaying collective knowledge from social media * applications for using collective intelligence including recommendations * privacy and security issues in creating collective intelligence from social media * creating business intelligence from social media * (Dynamic) social media monitoring for collective intelligence * how social networks can be used to mine and create collective intelligence * individual and group behavior in social media and social networks * social networks for the collaboration of large communities * evaluating the collective intelligence to determine the accuracy and relevance to users WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS =================== * Alvin Chin, Nokia Research Center, Beijing, China * Martin Atzmueller, University of Kassel, Germany * Denis Helic, Graz University of Technology, Austria PROGRAM COMMITTEE ================= * Markus Strohmaier, Graz University of Technology, Austria * Marc Smith, ConnectedAction, USA * Ido Guy, IBM Research, Israel * Gerd Stumme, University of Kassel, Germany * Javier Luis Canovas Izquierdo, INRIA, France * Andreas Hotho, University of Würzburg, Germany * Wai-Tat Fu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA * Thomas Kannampallil, University of Texas, USA * Daniel Gayo-Avello, University of Oviedo, Spain * Pranam Kolari, Yahoo!

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS: ICE-B 2012 - Int'l Conf. on e-Business (Rome/Italy) Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:29:28 -0500 From: ICE-B Secretariat <postmaster13(a)303media.net> Reply-To: ice-b.secretariat(a)insticc.org <ice-b.secretariat(a)insticc.org> To: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Dear Gustaf Neumann, Let me kindly inform you that the International Conference on e-Business (ICE-B 2012 - http://www.ice-b.icete.org), to be held in Rome, Italy (July 24-27, 2012) is now welcoming the submission of position papers whose deadline is scheduled for next April 26. A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster". Please check further details about position papers submission at the conference website (http://www.ice-b.icete.org/SubmissionGuidelines.aspx). ICE-B 2012 is part of the International Joint Conference on e-Business and Telecommunications (ICETE 2012) that has 5 more conferences with very strong synergies between them, namely: - DCNET: Int'l Conference on Data Communication Networking (http://www.dcnet.icete.org) - OPTICS: Int'l Conference on Optical Communication Systems (http://www.optics.icete.org) - SECRYPT: Int'l Conference on Security and Cryptography (http://www.secrypt.icete.org) - SIGMAP: Int'l Conf on Signal Processing and Multimedia Applications (http://www.sigmap.icete.org) - WINSYS: Int'l Conf on Wireless Information Networks and Systems (http://www.winsys.icete.org) These six concurrent conferences are held in parallel and registration to one warrants delegates to attend all six. ICETE is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 409 submissions, 12% were accepted as full papers, 16% were presented as short papers and 13% as posters. The conference program features a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers, namely: - Venu Govindaraju, University at Buffalo, United States - Sushil Jajodia, George Mason University Fairfax, United States - Andreas Holzinger, Medical University Graz, Austria - Geoffrey Charles Fox, Indiana University, United States http://www.icete.org/KeynoteSpeakers.aspx Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. BHOE A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book. Additionally, a short list of papers presented at the conference, will also be selected for publication in the Journal of Information Processing Systems (JIPS) and in a special issue of JNW - Journal of Networks. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and Elsevier Index (EI). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). CONFERENCE CHAIR Mohammad S. Obaidat, Monmouth University, U.S.A.

All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. The name of the conference (ie, EEE) that the paper is being submitted for consideration must be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the final Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee will be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees by using a double-blinded review process. In addition, all papers whose authors include a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels). Authors whose papers are accepted will be instructed to upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct typesetting. At this point, authors will be required to attest to the originality of their work (ie, declaring that no part of the work is plagiarized and the paper does not suffer from any acts of plagiarism.) Proceedings of EEE will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each published paper (science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; worldcomp tracks are selected to be among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the proceedings of EEE was included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference. In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers - these books will be composed after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after the conference. SUBMISSION OF POSTER PAPERS: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except for the submission is limited to 2 pages. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only the author of the accepted paper wishes to do so. IMPORTANT DATES: March 27, 2012: Submission of full papers (about 7 pages) April 26, 2012: Notification of acceptance (+/- 2 days) May 12, 2012: Final papers + Copyright/Consent + Registration July 16-19, 2012: The 2012 International Conference on e-Learning, e-Business, Enterprise Information Systems, and e-Government (EEE'12) GENERAL INFORMATION: EEE conference is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other research conferences, WORLDCOMP congress.

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of the congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 32229 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF PROCEEDINGS: The conference proceedings enjoy a high number of citations.

Please forward to interested colleagues and students ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ===== IWASCL-2012 Workshop: Call for Papers ================== ================================================================= Third International Workshop on Adaptive Systems for Collaborative Learning (IWASCL-2012) Workshop website http://titan.csd.auth.gr/iwascl2012/ IWASCL-2012 will be held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems (INCoS 2012) Conference website: http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/~incos2012/ Place& Time: Bucharest, Romania, September 19 - 21, 2012 ** PROCEEDINGS by IEEE CPS ** *** Submission Deadline: APRIL, 9, 2012 *** Theme and Scope ---------------------- Current learning technologies can provide adaptive and/or intelligent support to learners in a collaborative learning situation. This perspective lies at the crossroads of Intelligent Tutoring, Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), expanding the perspective of the fields and setting innovative research agendas. Contemporary learning theories strongly emphasize social interaction as a key mechanism for the development of shared understanding and knowledge construction. Consequently, building technologies that intelligibly trigger, guide and support peer interaction is expected to help students significantly increase the value of collaboration-generated benefits at both cognitive and meta-cognitive level. Working in this context several research groups have made various contributions leading gradually to the development of systems for adaptive and intelligent collaborative learning support (AICLS systems). In general, these systems are expected to model the users (individual or group), the activity, and the interaction between human and technological agents and make ?informed? interventions to support pre-task group formation, in-task peer interactions and domain-specific activities in the collaborative setting. Early studies on the impact of employing adaptive/intelligent forms of support in CSCL have provided encouraging results, however, the agenda is open and several intriguing questions are still far from being adequately addressed. The scope of the IWASCL-2012 workshop (the third workshop in the series) is to provide the opportunity for an informal meeting which facilitates the dissemination of knowledge in the field, providing useful insights on existing state-of-the-art research. The workshop sets a broad focus and invites contributions presenting methods, tools, formalization approaches, early prototype design and evaluation, pedagogical issues, position papers. We especially welcome papers that describe speculative ideas, work in progress, and discussions of challenging issues. The workshop includes (but is not limited to) topics such as: -- Theoretical approaches on adaptive/intelligent methods addressing needs of group learners. -- User and group modeling to cater for adaptive/intelligent system design. -- Adaptive and intelligent forms of tutoring/scaffolding/scripting in CSCL systems. -- Adaptive collaboration support. -- Methods and tools for the design and operationalization of adaptive/intelligent CSCL systems. -- Adaptive/Intelligent methods for supporting the orchestration of activities in collaborative learning contexts. -- Tools and methods for adaptive/intelligent support of learners in scripted collaboration. -- Architectures and frameworks for building or testing AICLS systems. -- AI and Web 2.0 tools& methods to integrate in AICLS systems. -- Formalization efforts and the role of the Learning Design. -- Interaction analysis techniques to inform the adaptable/intelligent behavior of CSCL systems. -- Learning analytics and educational data mining techniques in the CSCL context. -- Adaptive/Intelligent support of learners in social networking applications -- Pedagogical issues on the adaptive/intelligent support of group learners -- Evaluating various aspects of adaptive/intelligent systems for collaborative learning (e.g. cost/benefit issues) Submission ---------------- - Authors are invited to submit a 6 page paper in PDF format following the typical IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format. - IEEE CPS templates to be found at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting - Submission of IWASCL-2012 papers will be done through the Conference Submission System. - Please visit the Conference INCoS-2012 Submission page for further instructions. Proceedings --------------- - Proceedings of the IWASCL-2012 workshop will be included in the Conference INCoS-2012 volume, to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by IEEE Xplore) - Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended and updated version of their work for inclusion in edited volume by Springer. Registration -------------- (tba) Format -------- The workshop will be based on a ?working groups? format aiming to facilitate group-discussion and argumentation. Accepted papers will be classified by organizers in groups depending on their major characteristics (focus, pedagogical perspective, research evidence presented, etc.). Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available before the workshop to all participants so that they will have time to reflect on the material. All authors will be given time to concisely present their work and answer other participants? questions. Then participants will be assigned to working groups and will be asked to reflect on key issues and ideas raised by the presented papers. Representatives of working groups will be asked to summarize the conclusions of their group and discuss them with all participants.
