-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP KMIS 2012 - Int'l Conf. on Knowledge Management and Information Sharing (Barcelona/Spain) Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:56:40 -0500 From: KMIS Secretariat <postmaster13(a)303media.net> Reply-To: kmis.secretariat(a)insticc.org <kmis.secretariat(a)insticc.org> To: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Dear Gustaf Neumann, The International Conference on Knowledge Management and Information Sharing (KMIS 2012 - http://www.kmis.ic3k.org/) has an open call for papers, whose deadline is scheduled for April 17, 2012. We hope you can participate in this conference by submitting a paper reflecting your current research. KMIS 2012 will be held in Barcelona, Spain, October 4 - 7, 2012. The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). INSTICC is Member of the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA), Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG). Knowledge Management (KM) is a discipline concerned with the analysis and technical support of practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable the adoption and leveraging of good practices embedded in collaborative settings and, in particular, in organizational processes. Effective knowledge management is an increasingly important source of competitive advantage, and a key to the success of contemporary organizations, bolstering the collective expertise of its employees and partners. Information Sharing (IS) is a term used for a long time in the information technology (IT) lexicon, related to data exchange, communication protocols and technological infrastructures. Although standardization is indeed an essential element for sharing information, IS effectiveness requires going beyond the syntactic nature of IT and delve into the human functions involved in the semantic, pragmatic and social levels of organizational semiotics. The two areas are intertwined as information sharing is the foundation for knowledge management. KMIS 2012 is co-located with two related conferences in a joint conference (IC3K - http://www.ic3k.org/) format, namely: - Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval (http://www.kdir.ic3k.org/) - Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development (http://www.keod.ic3k.org/) Registration to one conference allows free access to all conferences. KMIS is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 134 submissions, 8% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 21% were presented as short papers and 17% as posters. 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. CKEI 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. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). 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/). Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP ISD2012 Track: The changing landscape of Information Systems. Properties of a new IS ecology. Datum: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:55:30 +0200 Von: Jacques Steyn <jacques(a)steyn.pro> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CfP ISD2012 Track: The changing landscape of Information Systems. Properties of a new IS ecology. *Track Theme *The changing landscape of Information Systems. Properties of a new IS ecology. Is this a new kind of IS? Or just more of the same thing? *Conference Theme *Building Sustainable Information Systems *Dates *Conference dates: 29-31August 2012 Paper submission deadline: 20 April 2012 *Venue *Prato, Italy *Conference Website *http://infotech.monash.edu/research/ISD2012/ *Some keywords *Information Systems, social media, mobile technologies, HCI, ecological systems, social sustainability, developing world, micro businesses. *CfP *We invite you to submit an abstract for a proposed paper in the area of Information Systems for ISD2012 (21st International Systems Development Conference) to be held on 29-31August 2012 in Prato, Italy. Sustainability has several meanings, with the dominant meaning referring to the natural ecological and environmental domains. Green IT relatively recently became a popular topic at conferences and in publications. While this is an important issue, sustainability may also refer to the maintenance of the complex weave of social systems. Again there is a very wide range of meanings of what "social systems" means, but for the purpose of this track, social ecology would be the focus. Information Systems (IS) theory traditionally focuses on IS for organizations, typically business organizations, assuming all other kinds of social organizations (such as government organizations and non-government organizations) to be variants of business systems. The PC itself was developed as a business tool, and only over the past two decades with its ability to handle multimedia also became a tool for entertainment. Over the past decade the networked PC became a powerful tool also in personal communication and private socialization in the form of the so-called social media. The rise into prominence of the PC as a tool of entertainment, communication and social media put information systems in the hands of individuals for the use of non-business purposes - i.e. for non-structured or semi-structured social organizations and personal use. The recent mobilization of non-structured socio-political gatherings on the Mediterranean and in the Middle East were made possible by social media technology; while citizen pressure groups use social media to get their voices heard, demonstrated by the several million objections early in 2012 against the proposed Antipiracy Bills in the USA. What is the impact of such non-formal social groups and individual use on the design and construction of information systems? Should design be about Human-Computer-Interface (HCI), or about Human-Human Communication (HHC), facilitated by technology? Similar questions were recently posed at other conferences, eg. the Interaction conference - http://www.siliconrepublic.com/new-media/item/25639-in-interaction-design/ The PC is no longer the dominant device for entertainment, personal communication and private socialization purposes. Mobile phone distribution has surpassed the PC in 2010 in market-share. The prominent past view of the client-server model, where client meant PC, has changed to a model where client now means mobile device - either mobile phone or tablet. Do the same principles of IS developed for the PC still apply? Ecologically, sustainability has global implications. If social sustainability also implies global social sustainability, all societies and the complex web of international networks (technological as well as social) need to be considered. IS systems in the developing world, which makes up the majority of people on this planet, thus also need to be considered. However, distribution of network infrastructure in the developing world is poor, while most commerce takes place in the informal business sector and on the level of micro businesses. In addition, the mobile market dominates the PC market by far in the developing world. With its emphasis on formal organizational IS, which meant business and mostly big business, and at best medium-sized businesses, there is not much research in IS circles on information systems for micro-organizations and micro-businesses. IS research also typically assumes 24/7 broadband connectivity, which is hard to come by in the developing world. So how does cloud computing apply in this environment? And how should IS be designed for this environment? Since the discipline of IS was introduced some time ago, the world has changed in the ways described above. What are the implications of this trend for future IS research and for principles to build sustainable IS? Do we need different theories and models for mobile systems, micro-organizations, individuals, social groups, and the developing world? Does /status quo/IS hold? These are the questions to be addressed in this track. Briefly then, what are the design implications for IS in the long-term outcome of these trends and events? Should information systems consider expanding the scope of the field, or can the existing IS conceptual tools deal with this? _Suggested topics:_ /A short list to indicate the type of issues of interest to the track/ * Non-formal organizational IS * IS for micro businesses * Social ecology of IS * Social media and IS * Mobile phones and IS * IS in the developing world * IS for private use * Social activism and information systems * The impact of ICT rights on IS * Alternative metaphors for interface design * The future of IS *Publication *Selected papers will be published in a book. *Track Chairs *Jacques Steyn Head of School of Information Technology Monash University, South African campus Alexandra Cristea Dept of Computer Science Warwick University -- ___________________________ Jacques Steyn PhD, HED Head: School of IT Monash South Africa +27-11-950-4132 Phone +27-11-950-4033 Fax +27-83-296-9122 Mobile jacques.steyn.za Skype jacques(a)steyn.pro http://sit.monash.ac.za/ http://sit.monash.ac.za/staff/steyn/ http://www.steyn.pro/ IDIA: International Development Informatics Association http://www.developmentinformatics.org/ See the IDIA Group on Facebook Music Markup Language http://www.musicmarkup.info/

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Extended Deadline: April 1 - CfP - 3rd International Workshop on Fostering Social Interactions in the Ageing Society - COOP2012, Marseille, France Datum: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:53:47 +0100 Von: Mueller, Claudia <Claudia.Mueller(a)uni-siegen.de> Antwort an: Mueller, Claudia <Claudia.Mueller(a)uni-siegen.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> [apologies for cross-posting] New Submission deadline: *** April 1, 2012 *** ************CALL FOR PAPERS*************** In conjunction with the International Conference on the Design of Cooperative Systems - COOP 2012 www.coopsys.org <http://www.coopsys.org> 3rd International Workshop Fostering Social Interactions in the Ageing Society: Designing for Inter/Generational Communities http://fosible.eu/coop2012-workshop/ 29 Mai, Marseille, France New workshop submission deadline: 1 April 2012 ******************************************** Ageing societies call for innovative and sustainable concepts to enable elderly adults to manage their everyday life in a highly self-determined and independent way. Research from different fields, such as CSCW, HCI, and AAL (Ambient Assisted Living), has recognized the big challenges for this field, especially in the domain of medical and care oriented support systems. Thus, a lot of innovative products have emerged that aim to support or improve health-related problems in an ageing society. However, what has been somewhat neglected so far, is what we would call the 'social side' of health and well-being - and with this a perspective on the socio-technical embedding of assistive and communication technologies. That's why this workshop takes on a community-oriented perspective to designing ICT for elderly adults. This workshop will be a follow-up activity on two previous workshops at ECSCW 2009 and ECSCW 2011. The workshop is aimed at researchers involved in previous workshops, but also other researchers interested in socio-technical ICT design for the elderly. The previous workshops focused on fostering social interaction and on reconsidering common research methodologies, technological solutions and research paradigms. A first roadmap for future ICT research on fostering social interactions for an ageing society has been started. The aim of the following COOP'12 workshop is to continue with a focus on designing for inter/generational communities. The workshop aims at gathering research on ICT for inter/generational communities from different perspectives: - Social/ Interactive TV, also concerned with the design of innovative input devices for elderly persons. Here, the bandwidth is from easy-to-use remote controls over intelligent furniture to other interactive devices in the home, such as interactive picture frames. - Social media for social support, such as online communities with special focus on social support for the elderly. - Social technologies supporting awareness as well as other technologies such as smart environments, playful interaction technologies as well as games supporting social interaction. Contributions are welcomed on such topics as: - Analysis and design of community systems fostering social interactions in an ageing society. - Ethnographic studies on people at home in an ageing society. - Analysis and design of technology-supported environments at home such as Social TV systems, SmartHomes and SmartFurnitures. - Approaches to playful experiences and games for elderly or in inter-generational environments. - Design and evaluation of awareness support. - Studies on appropriation within communities and home environments. - Design of software contributing to formulate virtual inter/generational communities. - Living Lab and real-life, longitudinal oriented approaches to designing and evaluating social systems. - Usage studies of home-based social media applications by elderly people. Submission and proceedings ========================== Potential participants are requested to submit workshop papers (as either 2 page position papers or 6 page full papers) and short information on the background of the authors (not more than 100 words). Accepted full papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, an issue of the International Reports on Socio-Informatics (IRSI). http://www.iisi.de/international-reports-on-socio-informatics-irsi/ Participants will be selected on the basis of the quality and relevance of their papers, and the extent (and diversity) of their backgrounds in design to foster an interdisciplinary participation (designers, developers, psychologists, ethnographers, etc.) from both industry and academia. Submissions should be in DOC or RTF format based on the IRSI Reports / ECSCW template accompanied by a PDF version and should be send to COOP2012-Workshop(a)fosible.eu <mailto:COOP2012-Workshop@fosible.eu> After the workshop, a Special Issue of an international journal is planned for long and updated versions of selected papers from both this year and last years'workshop(s) (ECSCW 2009 and 2011). More information on this special issue will be given during the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP Sozio-technisches Systemdesign im Zeitalter des Ubiquitous Computing (SUBICO 2012) Datum: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:26:45 +0100 Von: Holger Hoffmann Dr. <holger.hoffmann(a)uni-kassel.de> Antwort an: Holger Hoffmann Dr. <holger.hoffmann(a)uni-kassel.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen Sozio-technisches Systemdesign im Zeitalter des Ubiquitous Computing (SUBICO 2012) ==================================================================================== Workshop im Rahmen der INFORMATIK 2012 – Was bewegt uns in der/die Zukunft 42. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik 16.09. – 21.09.2012 TU Braunschweig http:// goto.uni-kassel.de/subico2012 Zielsetzung =========== Die Vision des Ubiquitous Computing, an jedem Ort und zu jeder Zeit intuitiv mit Anwendungen interagieren zu können, treibt die Forschung und Entwicklung in zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen an. Die Bandbreite an technischen Forschungsfeldern reicht von der Entwicklung kleinster Hardwarebausteine über die Aggregation von Kontextinformationen und das Generieren von Wissen daraus bis hin zur Gestaltung kontextsensitiver, adaptiver Softwaresysteme. Die Technikentwicklung wird komplementär ergänzt durch soziale und soziotechnische Fragestellungen, die sich über die einfache Funktionsbetrachtung hinaus mit der Nutzung der Technik durch den Menschen in seinem Alltag und die Auswirkungen der Technik in der Nutzung auf die Gesellschaft beschäftigt. Eng mit dieser Entwicklung des Ubiquitous Computing verbunden ist die Entwicklung von kollektiver Intelligenz und deren Nutzung im Alltag. Durch das Ubiquitous Computing steht eine bislang noch nicht dagewesene Vielzahl von Sensoren, Verarbeitungseinheiten und Schnittstellen zu Nutzern bereit, mit denen sich völlig neuartige Anwendungen umsetzen lassen. Mit diesem neuen Paradigma der Verknüpfung von Technik und Mensch entsteht eine neue Art der vernetzten Interaktion und Informationsverarbeitung, die sowohl in technischer als auch sozialer Hinsicht gestaltet werden muss, um sozial verträgliche Anwendungen zu erhalten. Die sozialverträgliche Gestaltung solcher Systeme benötigt interdisziplinäre, den Funktionen des Ubiquitous Computing und den Zielsetzungen der Gestaltung angepasste Entwicklungsmethoden. Der Workshop richtet sich aufgrund der interdisziplinären Problemstellung an Forscher, Entwickler und Führungskräfte aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen (Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, HCI, Recht, usw.), die sich mit der Gestaltung und dem Einsatz von zukünftigen ubiquitären IT-Systemen beschäftigen. Der Workshop soll insbesondere zur Vernetzung der Disziplinen beitragen und ein Diskussionsforum für Techniken, Methoden und Werkzeuge für die sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung bieten. Der Workshop SUBICO findet 2012 zum zweiten Mal statt. Die positive Resonanz zu SUBICO hat uns ermuntert, die Workshopreihe fortzuführen. Mögliche Themen =============== Die interdisziplinäre Ausrichtung des Workshops eröffnet ein breites Themenspektrum. Basistechniken des Ubiquitous Computing bilden die Grundlage für zukunftsfähige Anwendungen. Dazu gehören Kontextsensitivität, Situationserkennung und Adaptivität, die es Anwendungen ermöglichen, auf Veränderungen in der Umwelt und der Benutzerpräferenzen zu reagieren und sich geeignet an unterschiedliche Situationen zu adaptieren. Mit den Entwicklungen zu kollektiver Intelligenz ergeben sich weitere Fragestellungen zur Erfassung, Verarbeitung und Nutzung großer Datenmengen aus unsicheren bzw. unzuverlässigen Quellen wie z.B. Mobiltelefonen. Durch die vielfältige Sensorik, mit der benutzerspezifische Daten erfasst werden, und die ständige, wenn auch oft unbewusste Präsenz neuer Anwendungen, haben ubiquitäre Systeme einen großen Einfluss auf das soziale Gefüge. Eine sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung ist hier unabdingbar. Dabei müssen eine Reihe von Aspekten Berücksichtigung finden, die die Akzeptanz ubiquitärer Anwendungen beeinflussen, wie neuartige Interaktionskonzepte und Benutzerschnittstellen, Vertrauen in die Technik, Motivation der Benutzer und Rechtskonformität. Bei der sozialverträglichen Gestaltung ubiquitärer Systeme müssen vorher genannte Aspekte im Entwicklungsprozess verankert sein. Dazu bedarf es passender interdisziplinärer Methoden und Techniken. Zusätzlich verlangt die Entwicklung ubiquitärer Systeme nach Werkzeugen, die eine effektive Umsetzung von neuen Anwendungsideen ermöglichen. Es werden Beiträge erbeten, die vor allem, aber nicht ausschließlich, folgende Themen ansprechen: - Basistechniken des Ubiquitous Computing o Kontextsensitivität als Grundlage ubiquitärer Anwendungen o Adaptivität mobiler und ubiquitärer Anwendungen o Wissensentdeckung - Kollektive Intelligenz in UC-Anwendungen o Unzuverlässige/Unsichere Sensornetzwerke o Rolle des Menschen in der kollektiven Intelligenz (wisdom of the crowd, group memory) o Aufkommende Technologien und Anwendungen - Sozialverträgliche IT-Gestaltung o Interaktionskonzepte und Benutzerschnittstellen o Akzeptanz und Vertrauen in neue IT-Systeme o Rechtliche Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung o gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen ubiquitärer Systeme o Ethik in der Technikgestaltung - Entwicklungsmethoden & Werkzeuge zur Gestaltung ubiquitärer Systeme - Anwendungsbeispiele Wichtige Termine ================ 22. April 2012: Einreichungsfrist für Beiträge Anfang Juni 2012: Mitteilung über Annahme 24. Juni 2012: Überarbeitungsfrist für angenommene Beiträge Einreichungen und Review ======================== Bitte halten Sie sich an die Vorgaben der LNI Vorlage (http://www.gi.de/service/publikationen/lni/) für die Formatierung Ihres Beitrages. Eingereichte Beiträge sollen eine Länge von 15 Seiten im LNI Format nicht übersteigen und müssen bis 22.04.2012 unter http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=subico2012im PDF–Format hochgeladen werden.

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. _KeyNote Speaker_ *Dr. Haris Mouratidis* Principal Lecturer in Secure Systems and Software Development.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ISeB CfP: Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) Datum: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:14:35 +0000 Von: Kai Fischbach <Fischbach(a)wim.uni-koeln.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ********************************************************* Call for Papers Information Systems and e-Business Management (ISeB) Special Issue on Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) Deadline: April 1, 2012 ********************************************************* *Guest Editors* Kai Fischbach (University of Bamberg, Germany) Christine Legner (HEC Lausanne, Switzerland) Robert Winter (University of St. Gallen, Switzerland) *Theme* The complexity of corporate information technology (IT) environments has been steadily growing in the last decades, and keeping pace with an ever-changing business environment has become a constant challenge. In response, architectural considerations have become a key concern in today's information management. It is acknowledged that only continuous and holistic management of the Enterprise Architecture (EA) can ensure the sustainability, agility, and strategic alignment of corporate IT environments. Enterprise architecture management (EAM) has evolved as a discipline, beginning in the 1990s. Early work centered on architecture models, principles, and standards that comprise the content of the EA. As companies gain practical experience implementing EA concepts, they become more concerned with the management aspects in EAM, the effectiveness of EAM and its success factors. Despite a growing body of EA-related knowledge, different definitions of EAM coexist, ranging from enterprise-wide IT management to enterprise development and transformation. Correspondingly, researchers have identified substantial differences with respect to the objectives followed, the methodology employed, and the organizational implementation of EAM in practice. This has stimulated studies related to EAM adoption scenarios and situational aspects of EAM implementation. Still, though, EAM is a relatively young and immature discipline, characterized by a great variety of research approaches and a strong focus on conceptual frameworks and models. Until recently, theoretically rounded research on EAM practice has been rather limited. With this special issue, the journal Information Systems and e-Business Management seeks to stimulate EAM research. We invite original submissions of novel research that advances our understanding of EAM as a management discipline. We are open to all types of contributions, including conceptual, design-oriented, and theory-building papers. We encourage authors to submit contributions that are lively and will inspire readers from both academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. 1) The EAM discipline and its relationship to other management disciplines (e.g., strategic management, organizational development, IT management). 2) Specific EAM application contexts (e.g., IT/business alignment, business transformation, M&A, outsourcing). 3) EAM strategy (EAM positioning and goals, EAM services/"products," communication and stakeholder involvement). 4) Conceptualizing EAM (e.g., meta models, roadmaps, specific architectures such as business architecture). 5) EAM organization and governance (e.g., processes, organizational roles, monitoring, and key performance indicators). 6) EAM tool support and EAM-related standards. 7) Organizational implementation of EAM (e.g., situational adaptation). 8) EAM adoption and success. 9) EAM value (metrics, funding, and charging). 10) Innovative EAM case studies *Deadlines* April 1, 2012 Paper submission deadline June 1, 2012 First round review completed June 20, 2012 Editorial decisions due Aug 5, 2012 Revised papers due (second round) Sep 25, 2012 Second-round review completed Oct 1, 2012 Editorial decisions due Nov 15, 2012 Revised papers due (third round) Dec 15, 2012 Final decisions *Submission Instructions* Articles submitted to the journal should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time. Authors submitting articles for publication should follow the submission guidelines of ISeB for preparing the manuscripts. Submissions should be sent to the guest editors of this Special Issue via the journal's editorial manager system: http://www.editorialmanager.com/iseb/ Please choose the article type 'S.I.: Enterprise Architecture Management' while submitting to the special issue. *Associate Editors* Frederik Ahlemann (EBS Business School, Germany) João Paulo A. Almeida (Federal University of Espirito Santo, Brazil) Scott Bernard (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Brian Cameron (Pennsylvania State University, USA) Marijn Janssen (Delft University of Technology, Netherlands) Robert Lagerström (KTH - Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden) Susanne Leist (University of Regensburg, Germany) Florian Mattes (Technical University of Munich, Germany) Erik Proper (Public Research Centre Henri Tudor, Luxembourg) Raymond Slot (Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands) José Tribolet (INESC and TU Lisbon, Portugal) *About the Journal* Information Systems and e-Business Management (ISeB) is an international journal that focuses on the core tasks of Information Systems Management, the conceptual analysis, design, and deployment of information systems, as well as on all e-business related topics. The central aim of the journal is to publish original, well-written, self-contained contributions that elucidate novel research and innovation in information systems management and e-business which advance the field fundamentally and significantly.

The complexity of enterprise systems, the increasing needs for advanced collaboration between various systems within one institution or among many collaborating parties and the velocity of organizational, policy, structural and market changes strongly call for immediate mobilization of the research community to develop more flexible and reliable technologies for the advancement of enterprise systems. Trying to respond to this urgent research need, the VORTE series of workshops has been established in order to bring together researchers and practitioners that are looking into the topics of ontologies and rules in enterprise system development from different yet complementary perspectives. The major objective is to provide a research forum for exchanging ideas and results covering the use of ontologies and rules in various stages of the lifecycle of enterprise systems. Examples of topics covered by VORTE research contributions include the development and adaptation of foundational, business and domain ontologies for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in all aspects of enterprise modelling such as business process management and services, the enhancement of rules and services with formal semantics, and the evaluation of such systems and approaches. The workshop is also a forum for the discussion of ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability issues and ontology engineering issues, and covers various application domains relevant for organizations (such as e-government and e-commerce). The workshop also welcomes contributions on open linked data initiatives for the enterprise and empirical studies on the use of ontologies and rules in the enterprise system development lifecycle. *TOPICS * Vocabularies and Ontologies for the enterprise: - Ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities, design, processes; - Ontologies for the know-how; - Ontologies for corporate knowledge; - Upper-level ontologies in the enterprise; Knowledge management: - Ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management and integration; - Adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations; - Ontology engineering, learning and maintenance within organizations; - Ontology integration and alignment within organizations; - Ontology effectiveness and evaluation in organizations; Conceptual and Enterprise Modeling: - Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Meta-modeling - Ontology Design and maintenance for Conceptual Model Integration; - Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling Tools and Environments - Ontologies and Enterprise Architecture Modeling - Ontologies and Business Process Modeling - Ontologies and Goal-Based Modeling - Ontologies and Business Rules Enterprise Semantic Interoperability: - Web services, Semantic services - Composition and Modularity - Merging, Mapping and Alignment - Ontology Language Interoperability - Open linked data publishing and exploitation Problems and case studies in ontology application: - Practical issues in using ontologies in enterprises - Real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business - From legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems *SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION * We solicit two types of papers: - Short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully developed; and - Full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the author's name, affiliation, and contact details. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2012 All papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. The papers accepted for the EDOC 2012 Workshops will be published after the workshop with an ISBN in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main conference (there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2012) and present their papers at the workshop. *Post-conference Journal Publication* For previous editions of the workshop, special issues have been published in journals such as Applied Ontology (2007), IJBPIM (2007), Elsevier's Information Systems (2008, 2010), and Journal of Research Practice in Information Technology (2009).
