-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue of JIT on Leveraging the IS Organization for Business Value Creation Datum: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:55:19 +0000 Von: Kotlarsky, Julia <Julia.Kotlarsky(a)wbs.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): Kotlarsky, Julia <Julia.Kotlarsky(a)wbs.ac.uk> Call for Papers for a Special Issue of/Journal of Information Technology/ * * *Leveraging the IS Organization for Business Value Creation* * * Special Issue Editors: Peter Keen, Keen Innovations and EGADE, Monterrey, Mexico Gwanhoo Lee, American University William DeLone, American University Frank Land, London School of Economics Martha Corrales, EGADE, Monterrey, Mexico Mark McDonald, Gartner Research Margaret Tan, Nanyang Technology University, Singapore / / /The only future and sustainable source of competitive advantage through IT is the Business-IS dialog. Every firm now has the same access to new technology. Reliance on and gains from in-house proprietary systems are being replaced by standardization of interfaces and open systems, packages, variable cost options in sourcing, such as cloud computing and hosting and accessible service infrastructures including platforms like Facebook, Amazon and Android./ * * *The aim of this Special Issue is to identify effective organizational strategies, designs, capabilities, and professional and career development processes that distinguish Information Systems units that are demonstrably effective as contributors to business value creation.* The past decade has seen an underinvestment in the IS organization as source of competitive advantage and there are widespread examples of IS lagging rather than leading innovation through IT. The obvious example is in the mobile field, now in its second decade in the consumer field but in pilot or exploratory stage in many organizations. The role of IS in business innovation has become blurred. Many areas of development and operations have been outsourced, an estimated 70% of IS budgets are for external services, and the main focus of activity has become highly technical, most obviously virtualization, implementation of cloud computing, and security. In some organizations, IS is seen as a bureaucracy, a view that is reinforced when initiatives in the use of ?consumer technology?, especially mobile devices and social networking are labeled by IS as ?Rogue IT?, as if they are violations of orderly governance rather a positive new source of productivity, collaboration and knowledge mobilization. A fairly consensual stereotyping of the business-IS relationship is that IS is viewed as a cost center not a value creator and that IS professionals lack business focus and skills. The CIO, rather than the IS organization, is seen as the lever for transforming the business-technology relationship. This Special Issue aims at going beyond the stereotypes and broad statements of needed directions for IS change to highlight what is working, and why, in making IS a leading contributor in the innovation process. The focus is on theorizing and institutionalizing principles and practices, rather than on one-off examples, however striking. The Issue is designed to encourage research-with-practice. It is research-centered but the test of value is what the research points to for specific actions in practice. It is practice-focused but contributions must go beyond situational and individual descriptive examples to provide the base for formal and general normative frameworks. Viewed from either perspective, the articles should be of relevance to three audiences: (1) Organizational decision makers in IS investment and governance, including but not limited to the CIO community, (2) The many IS professionals who are actively looking for ways to develop the skills and build the experience that will enhance their career opportunities in the business sphere, and (3) educators, HR specialists and IS planners who play an active role as catalysts in building an effective IS organizational capability. * * *Topics of interest* * * The Editors have identified topics of interest but these are suggestions only and submissions that address other areas of investigation are encouraged. The overarching measure of relevance is that they provide interesting, resonant and useful answers to the question *?How does this help build a more effective IS organization that adds to the enterprise?s ability to exploit IT for real innovation??* * * *Metrics*: What measures of IS performance encourage the innovation dialog and business justification and provide convincing indicators of IS value creation and help guide the social and ethical responsibilities in IT development and application? * * *The financial dialog*: What financial frameworks and models most help IS get away from the straightjacket of traditional ROI, cost metrics, and capital budgeting to enable and leverage IT in open innovation initiatives and new infrastructure development? * * *Organizational design*: Are there general principles for organizing and partitioning IS work, such as centers of process excellence, enterprise architecture units, etc., that improve the elements of the business-IS dialog and individual area of responsibilities relevant to innovation? * * *Coordinance versus governance*: What approaches to governance and enterprise architecture get away from the image and often reality of IS as a blockage looking for control to a partner looking to leverage business initiatives? * * *Project management*: Given the complexities, uncertainties, the many known pitfalls and ever-nagging budget/time demands of large-scale development and rollout, how can project management combine innovation and efficiency? * * *Communication skills and processes*: How does IS systematically build the skills to resolve the common criticism of IT professionals as poor in communication and organizational awareness? * * *Succession planning*: How do CIOs ensure they build a new cadre of IS leadership talent and provide formal help to key personnel in career development and CIO potential? * * *Personal development and education*: What do IS professionals need to know that they don?t know they do(e.g., corporate finance) and what education and development vehicles are most effective and efficient? * * *Communities of practice*: What is the contribution to individual professionals and member organizations of such societies as SIM, The Canadian CIO Peer Forum and others in enabling innovation capabilities in IS? * * *Vendor and partner relationships*: What principles of relationship building and IS service contracting best create a win-win relationship and risk-sharing collaboration? * * *International differences*: Are there significant international differences in how organizations structure, fund, and manage the IS function in ways that affect business innovation? Of particular interest are countries noted as leaders in either business innovation or technology innovation. How does the leadership in one feed into the other? Additional considerations that the editors view as positive additions to the formal requirements are: 1. Original work by junior IS researchers that pushes into new approaches, theoretical grounding and methodology. 2. Style and attractive presentation: the goal for the Special Issue is for it to have influence in all the relevant communities; researchers, IS professionals, CIOs and educators. *Timetable* * * 30 November 2012, Deadline for article submission 28 February, 2013 Reviews returned to author 30 June, 2013 Deadline for final article submission 30 September, 2013 Final articles accepted 31 December, 2013 Online publication of Special Issue 31 March, 2014 Print publication * * *Submission information* * * Detailed information on JIT and formatting requirements: www.palgrave-journals.com/jit/index.html Questions about the Special Issue should be addressed to Special Issue Editor Gwanhoo Lee (glee(a)american.edu).

The initiative consists of a conference series together with volumes based on the conferences. Information about the AiML series can be obtained at http://www.aiml.net. AiML-2012 is the ninth conference in the series. TOPICS We invite submission on all aspects of modal logic, including: - history of modal logic - philosophy of modal logic - applications of modal logic - computational aspects of modal logic (complexity and decidability of modal and temporal logics, modal and temporal logic programming, model checking, model generation, theorem proving for modal logics) - theoretical aspects of modal logic (algebraic/categorical perspectives on modal logic, coalgebraic modal logic, completeness and canonicity, correspondence and duality theory, many-dimensional modal logics, modal fixed point logics, model theory of modal logic, proof theory of modal logic) - specific instances and variations of modal logic (description logics, modal logics over non-boolean bases, dynamic logics and other process logics, epistemic and deontic logics, modal logics for agent-based systems, modal logic and game theory, modal logic and grammar formalisms, provability and interpretability logics, spatial and temporal logics, hybrid logic, intuitionistic logic, substructural logics, computationally light fragments of all such logics) Papers on related subjects will also be considered. CONFERENCE LOCATION Advances in Modal Logic 2012 will be held at the IDA conference center in downtown Copenhagen: http://ida.dk/sites/moedecenter/english/Sider/EnglishForside.aspx This is in easy walking distance from Copenhagen Central Station and a number of reasonably priced hotels. PAPER SUBMISSIONS There will be two types of submissions to AiML-2012: (1) Full papers for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference. (2) Short presentations intended for presentation at AiML but not for the published proceedings. All submissions should be submitted electronically using our EasyChair page http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiml2012 At least one author of each accepted paper or short presentation must register for, and attend, the conference. (1) FULL PAPERS. Authors are invited to submit, for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings, full papers reporting on original research and not submitted elsewhere. The proceedings of AiML'2012 will be published by College Publications (http://www.collegepublications.co.uk) in a volume to be made available at the conference. The submissions should be at most 15 pages, with an optional technical appendix of up to 5 pages, together with a plain-text abstract of 100-200 words. The submissions must be typeset in LaTeX, using the style files and template provided on the AiML'2012 website (click "Paper Submissions"). We also ask authors of full papers to submit the abstract in plain text to the EasyChair page by 30 March. (2) SHORT PRESENTATIONS. These should be at most 5 pages. They may describe preliminary results, work in progress etc., and will be subject to light reviewing. The accepted submissions will be made available at the conference, and the authors will have the opportunity to make short presentations (of up to 15 minutes) on them. SPECIAL SESSION ON HYBRID LOGIC. Hybrid logic is an extension of modal logic allowing to refer explicitly to states of the model in the syntax of formulas. There will be a special session of AiML devoted to papers on hybrid logic. The scope of the special session is standard hybrid-logical machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder, but also other extensions of modal logic can be considered. SPECIAL SESSION IN HONOUR OF LARISA MAKSIMOVA. There will be a special session of AiML devoted to papers and talks in honour of Larisa Maksimova, in recognition of her many outstanding contributions to modal logic. SPECIAL SESSION ON MODALITES FOR TYPES. Recent years have witnessed significant growth of interest in constructive type-theoretical modalities, in particular modalities ensuring productivity and type safety of (co-)recursive definitions in reactive programming. Some earlier examples include the use of modalities for staged computation, metaprogramming or in computational lambda-calculus. In order to boost interaction between programming, type-theoretical and modal communities, AiML 2012 will host a special session on these topics. Papers for the special sessions should be submitted to the EasyChair site along with others.

Petri nets are becoming increasingly popular in this area, as they provide a uniform language supporting the tasks of modelling, validation, and verification. Their popularity is due to the fact that Petri nets capture fundamental aspects of causality, concurrency and choice in a natural and mathematically precise way without compromising readability. The workshop PNSE'12 (Petri nets and Software Engineering) will take place as a satellite event of Petri Nets 2012 and ACSD 2012. The use of Petri nets (P/T-nets, coloured Petri nets and extensions) in the formal process of software engineering, covering modelling, validation, and verification, will be presented as well as their application and tools supporting the disciplines mentioned above. __________________________________________________________________ Topics We welcome contributions describing original research in topics related to Petri nets in combination with software engineering, addressing open problems or presenting new ideas regarding the relation of Petri nets and software engineering. Furthermore we look for surveys addressing open problems and new applications of Petri nets. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Modelling + representation of formal models by intuitive modelling concepts + guidelines for the construction of system models + representative examples + process-, service-, state-, event-, object- and agent-oriented approaches + adaption, integration, and enhancement of concepts from other disciplines + views and abstractions of systems + model-driven architecture + modelling software landscapes + web service-based software development * Validation and Execution + prototyping + simulation, observation, animation + code generation and execution + testing and debugging + efficient implementation * Verification + structural methods (e.g. place invariants, reduction rules) + results for structural subclasses of nets + relations between structure and behaviour + state space based approaches + efficient model checking + assertional and deductive methods (e.g. temporal logics) + process algebraic methods + applications of category theory and linear logic * Application of Petri nets in Software Engineering, in particular the use of Petri nets in the domains of + flexible manufacturing, + logistics, + telecommunication, + workflow management and + embedded systems. * Tools in the fields mentioned above __________________________________________________________________ Submissions The programme committee invites submissions of full contributions (up to 15 pages) or short contributions (up to 5 pages). Ongoing work (up to 2 pages) can also be presented in a special poster session. Please note that for full contributions up to 15 pages are recommended. Papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF) using the Springer LNCS-format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions should include title, authors' addresses, E-mail addresses, keywords and an abstract. For your submission in PDF format please use the online conference management system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pnse12 Just create a new account and then upload your paper. (Later you will be able to see your reviews there.) The papers will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the PC. Accepted contributions will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will be available at the workshop and on this website. __________________________________________________________________ Some of the best papers from the workshop will be invited for publication in a volume of the journal sub line of Lecture Notes in Computer Science entitled "Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC). The papers are expected to be thoroughly revised and they will go through a totally new round of reviewing as is standard practice for journal papers. Papers from previous instances of this workshop (PNSE'07, PNDS'08, PNSE'09, PNSE'10 and PNSE'11) made it into ToPNoC volumes in the Springer LNCS series (volumes 5100, 5460 and 5800). __________________________________________________________________ Chairs * Michael Duvigneau (University of Hamburg, Germany) * Lawrence Cabac (University of Hamburg, Germany) * Daniel Moldt (University of Hamburg, Germany) __________________________________________________________________ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/pnse12/ mailto:pnse12@informatik.uni-hamburg.de -- Please use mailto:pnse12@informatik.uni-hamburg.de or http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/pnse12/ to contact us with respect to PNSE12 PNSE12 PC-Chairs: Lawrence Cabac, Michael Duvigneau, Daniel Moldt *** Conference: Petri Nets 2012& ACSD 2012 in Hamburg, Germany, June 25–29, 2012 *** *** visit: http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/pn-acsd2012/ *** -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

The fully-refereed proceedings will be published by the ACM and, like past RecSys proceedings, are expected to be widely read and cited. Topics of Interest ================== We construe recommender systems broadly, including applications ranging from e-commerce to social networking, platforms from web to mobile and beyond, and a wide variety of technologies ranging from collaborative filtering to case-based reasoning. Topics of interest for RecSys 2012 include (but are not limited to): - Algorithm scalability - Case studies of real-world implementations - Computational advertising - Conversational recommender systems - Context-aware and multidimensional models - Evaluation metrics and studies - Explanations and evidence - Group recommenders - Impact studies - Innovative/New applications - Machine learning for recommendation - Novel paradigms - Personalization - Preference elicitation - Recommendation algorithms - Social recommenders - User interfaces - Security, privacy, trust, and reputation - Semantic web technologies for recommendation - Theoretical foundations - User modelling - User studies Paper Format and Submission =========================== All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically in PDF format. RecSys 2012 submissions should be prepared according to the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. For your convenience, we provide paper templates in Microsoft Word and LaTeX on the conference website. More details on the submission procedure are available at http://recsys2012.ucd.ie/submission.html. There are two paper submission categories: Long paper submissions should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 8 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. Each accepted long paper will be presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program. We expect the review process to be highly selective: in 2011, the acceptance rate for full papers was 20%. Short paper submissions typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. The maximum length is 4 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. Each accepted short paper will be presented in a poster session. The presentation may include a system demonstration. Note: Please note that rejected long paper submissions will not be automatically considered as short papers Important Dates =============== Abstract Submission: April 2, 2012 Paper Submission: April 9, 2012 Notification of Acceptance: June 1, 2012 Camera-Ready Papers Due: June 22, 2012 Conference Dates: September 9-13, 2012 Questions? ========== More information at: http://recsys.acm.org/2012 Twitter: @recsys2012 Program Co-chairs (program2012(a)recsys.acm.org <mailto:program2012@recsys.acm.org>): Ido Guy, IBM Research-Haifa, Israel Sarabjot Singh Anand, University of Warwick, England General Co-chairs (recsys2012(a)acm.org <mailto:recsys2012@acm.org>) Pádraig Cunningham, University College Dublin, Ireland Neil Hurley, University College Dublin, Ireland -- *************************************** M.Sc.(Eng.)

Fwd: [computational.science] 1st CfP: Special Issue on Digital Media Security and Right Management by Multimedia Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] 1st CfP: Special Issue on Digital Media Security and Right Management by Multimedia Systems Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 22:30:27 +0100 From: Krzysztof Szczypiorski <ksz(a)tele.pw.edu.pl> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Call for Papers "Multimedia Systems" (Springer, ISSN 0942-4962) Special Issue on Digital Media Security and Right Management Today’s world’s societies are becoming more and more dependent on open networks such as the Internet – where commercial activities, business transactions, government services and entertainment services are realized. This has led to the fast development of new cyber threats and numerous information security issues which are exploited by cyber criminals. The inability to provide trusted secure services in contemporary computer network technologies could have a tremendous socio-economic impact on global enterprises as well as individuals. In the recent years, rapid development in digital technologies has been augmented by the progress in the field of multimedia standards and the mushrooming of multimedia applications and services penetrating and changing the way people interact, communicate, work, entertain and relax. Multimedia services are becoming more significant, popular and they enrich humans’ everyday life. Currently, the term multimedia information refers not only to text, image, video or audio content but also graphics, flash, web, 3D data, etc. Multimedia information may be generated, processed, transmitted, retrieved, consumed or shared in various environments. The lowered cost of reproduction, storage and distribution, however, also invites much motivation for large-scale commercial infringement. Abovementioned issues have generated new challenges related to protection of multimedia services, applications and digital content. Providing multimedia security is significantly different from providing typical computer information security since multimedia content usually involves large volumes of data and requires interactive operations and real-time responses. Additionally, ensuring digital multimedia security must also signify safeguarding of the multimedia services. Different services require different methods for content distribution, payment, interaction, etc. Moreover, these services are also expected to be “smart” in the environment of converged networks, which means that they must adapt to different network conditions and types as multimedia information can be utilized in various networked environments, e.g. in fixed, wireless, mobile networks, etc. All of these make providing security for multimedia even harder to perform. This special issue intends to bring together diversity of international researchers, experts and practitioners who are currently working in the area of digital multimedia security. Researchers both from academia and industry are invited to contribute their work for extending the existing knowledge in the field. The aim of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality research papers that will provide a view on the latest research advances on secure multimedia transmission and distribution but also on multimedia content protection. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Emerging technologies in digital multimedia security - Digital watermarking - Fingerprinting in multimedia signals - Steganology (steganography and steganalysis) - Information theoretic analysis of secure multimedia systems - Security/privacy in multimedia services - Multimedia and digital media forensics - Multimedia integrity verification and authentication - Multimedia systems security - Digital rights management - Digital content protection - Tampering and attacks on original information - Content identification and secure content delivery - Piracy detection and tracing - Copyright protection and surveillance - Forgery detection - Secure multimedia networking - Multimedia network protection, privacy and security - Secure multimedia system design, trusted computing, and protocol security Instructions for Authors Original and high quality contributions that have not yet been published or are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. The submitted papers should be formatted according to the journal style. For more detailed information concerning the requirements for submission, please refer to the journal homepage and Instructions for Authors section at: http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems+and+applications/journ… All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted to Multimedia Systems through the online submission system available at https://www.editorialmanager.com/mmsj/. During the submission process authors should identify that the paper is for the special issue “Digital Media Security and Right Management”. All papers will be rigorously reviewed based on their originality, high scientific quality, organization, clarity of writing, conclusions and relevance to this Special Issue. The manuscripts will be accepted or rejected in line with the usual standards of Multimedia Systems. Important Dates Manuscript due: 1 September 2012 Acceptance/rejection notification: 15 December2012 Final manuscript due: 15 January 2013 Publication date: 2013 Editors of the Special Issue Wojciech Mazurczyk and Krzysztof Szczypiorski Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Email: {wmazurczyk, ksz}(a)tele.pw.edu.pl

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, SERP) 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 SERP 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 SERP 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 Software Engineering Research and Practice (SERP'12) GENERAL INFORMATION: SERP 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.
