Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2012 20:12:28 +0200 From: Devos Jan <Jan.Devos(a)howest.be> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Chapters for the book Information Systems and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) - State of art of IS research in SMEs *Editors: * *Jan Devos,*PhD, Ghent University, Belgium *Hendrik Van Landeghem*, PhD, Ghent University, Belgium *Dirk Deschoolmeester*, PhD,**Ghent University, Belgium *Introduction*** Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are of crucial importance to most economies all over the globe. Although there is no single generalized definition for a SME, they are most widely seen as companies with less than 500 (US & Canada) or 250 (Europe and elsewhere) employees. SMEs provide since 2000 everywhere more than 50% of all employment (or 67% of employment outside the financial industry). A number that is continuous growing. Entrepreneurial SMEs are also seen as principal drivers for innovativeness and economic growth. However SMEs are more confronted than large companies by resource constraints such as access to financial capital, IT expertise, knowledge and skills. For SMEs, a vital source for competitive advantage is the ability to remain agile and responsive to the business environment. The adoption of IT is therefore paramount for SMEs. Unfortunately SMEs face numerous challenges in implementing information systems (IS). The lack of human and financial resources in SMEs often lead to a slower IT adoption process and to a lot of IS failures. Although literature points out significant differences between SMEs and large companies, IS research has dominantly focused on large companies but often brings conclusions that are supposed applicable to SMEs. Recently, research on SMEs and IS has proliferated and has nearly become a standalone stream within the IS research field. This research stream is considered one of the top ten issues of information systems management. However, more research is needed to identify factors that contribute to IS effectiveness. *Objectives of the Book*** This book will establish and explore existing and emerging theories on SMEs and the adoption of IT/IS, present the latest empirical research findings in that area of IS research, and explore new technologies and practices in this area. The purpose of this book is to expand the knowledge and understanding of SMEs and the adoption of IT/IS. *Target Audience*** The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of IS research or the research of SMEs. Moreover, the book will also be a reference for researchers, professionals and students in management information systems science and related fields. The book will also be useful for practitioners, information systems managers, CEOs, CIOs who are responsible for implementing various information systems in their businesses and organizations. *Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:* ·Behavioral and social studies of the impact of IT/IS on SMEs ·IT/IS adoption in SMEs: determinants, enablers, barriers, and inhibitors: adoption of social media, e-business, e-commerce, e-SCM, and CRM ·Evaluation of IS in SMEs: benefits, costs and risks, productivity studies, impact on organizational and personal performance ·IT/IS capabilities, knowledge and practices in SMEs ·SMEs and IT/IS outsourcing ·Literature analyses and studies on IS research in SMEs ·The role of IT/IS for innovation in SMEs ·SMEs and Open Source Software ·IS success, IS failures in SMEs ·IT Governance in SMEs: Risk Management, Strategic Information Systems, IT/IS security, Performance Management, IS project/program/portfolio management SMEs ·Business Process Management (BPM) and EA/BP modelling in SMEs ·ERP implementation and integration in SMEs ·Cloud Computing in SMEs: Software as a Service (SaaS), software on demand, Software Oriented Architectures, Web Services, ... ·Researching IT/IS in SMEs: research methodologies and paradigms, best practices, case studies, use cases, action research, design science, ... ·IT/IS and SMEs in developing countries. To ensure this publication presents the most comprehensive current and relevant coverage of theories and models in IS research, we invite researchers and leading experts in their particular areas to contribute chapters of between 4000--8000 words. Chapters should ideally address all the objectives above, although chapters beyond the key objectives will also be considered. *Important Dates**: * Deadline for submission of full chapters: *Augustus 1, 2012 * Notification of review results: *October 30, 2012 * Revised chapters due: *December 15, 2012* Final notification of chapter acceptance (revised chapters): *January 30, 2012 * *Submission Details: * Individuals interested in submitting chapters (4,000-8,000 words) on the above or related topics should send an e-mail declaring your interest in submitting---including your name, affiliation, and proposed topic area to Jan G.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AAAI 2012 Workshop on Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization and Recommendation (ITWP 2012) Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2012 16:06:23 +0000 From: <dietmar.jannach(a)tu-dortmund.de> To: <dietmar.jannach(a)tu-dortmund.de> ====================================================================== 3rd CALL FOR PAPERS 10th Workshop on Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization& Recommendation (ITWP 2012) In conjunction with AAAI 2012 July 22, 2012 - Toronto, Canada http://ls13-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/homepage/itwp2012/ Submission Deadline: April 15, 2012 ====================================================================== Web Personalization and recommendation systems have been steadily gaining ground as essential components of today's Web based applications, including in e-commerce and customer relationship management, in the delivery of business services, in providing support for Web search and navigation, and in reducing cognitive overload in information rich interactive social Web applications. The proliferation of Web 2.0 applications has allowed users to go beyond simple consumers of information and instead actively participate in shaping collaborative environments in which users, resources, and user-provided content are all networked together. This, in turn has increased the need for more intelligent and personalized services that help users interact with and navigate these complex information spaces. These include a new generation of recommender systems that integrate multiple online channels, are more scalable, are more adaptive, can better handle user interactivity, and are more adep t at user preference elicitation. To achieve this, such applications must rely on intelligent techniques from AI, machine learning, Web mining, statistics, and user modelling in order to leverage all available data, including the usage and click-stream data (reflecting user behaviour), the content and meta-data associated with resources, semantic domain knowledge, user profile information, and underlying network structures. Efficient and intelligent techniques are needed to mine this data for actionable knowledge, and to effectively use the discovered knowledge to enhance the users' experience. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners From Web Mining, Web Personalization, Recommender Systems, and User Modeling communities in order to foster an exchange of information and ideas and to facilitate a discussion of current and emerging topics related to the development of intelligent Web personalization and Recommender Systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST We invite original contributions in a variety of areas related to Web personalization and Recommender Systems: * User model representation and preference elicitation: Knowledge acquisition strategies, user context modeling, cross-domain models, privacy, cognitive models for Web navigation, self-adaptation, utility function elicitation from user interaction, user modeling on the Social Web; * Architectures, systems and enabling technologies: personalized search, scalability of personalization and recommendation techniques, intelligent browsing and navigation, adaptive hypertext systems, hybrid and conversational recommendation systems, context-awareness, Data/web mining for personalization, Link Analysis and Graph Mining, automated techniques for ontology generation, learning, and acquisition; machine leaning techniques for information extraction, Social Web, and the Semantic Web; * User and algorithm centric evaluation methodologies, metrics, and case studies PAPER SUBMISSION AND PARTICIPATION Papers must be formatted according to the AAAI 2012 style guide (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php) and submitted electronically as PDF to itwp2012(a)ls13.cs.uni-dortmund.de. We solicit long and short papers as well as research demos. Long papers (8 pages) present original research work; short papers (4 pages) report on work in progress or describe demo systems. The workshop proceedings will be published as citable AAAI technical report.

Fwd: [computational.science] MAS&S CFP 2012

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] MAS&S CFP 2012 Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:53:59 +0200 From: Juan Antonio Botía Blaya <juanbot(a)um.es> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> 6th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation (MAS&S) Wrocław, Poland, September 9-12, 2012 http://www.fedcsis.org/mas%26s Multi-agent systems (MASs) provide powerful models for representing both real-world systems and applications with an appropriate degree of complexity and dynamics. Several research and industrial experiences have already shown that the use of MASs offers advantages in a wide range of application domains (e.g. financial, economic, social, logistic, chemical, engineering). When MASs represent software applications to be effectively delivered, they need to be validated and evaluated before their deployment and execution, thus methodologies that support validation and evaluation through simulation of the MAS under development are highly required. In other emerging areas (e.g. ACE, ACF), MASs are designed for representing systems at different levels of complexity through the use of autonomous, goal-driven and interacting entities organized into societies which exhibit emergent properties The agent-based model of a system can then be executed to simulate the behavior of the complete system so that knowledge of the behaviors of the entities (micro-level) produce an understanding of the overall outcome at the system-level (macro-level). In both cases (MASs as software applications and MASs as models for the analysis of complex systems), simulation plays a crucial role that needs to be further investigated. Topics MAS&S'11 aims at providing a forum for discussing recent advances in Engineering Complex Systems by exploiting Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation. In particular, the areas of interest are the following (although this list should not be considered as exclusive): • Agent-based simulation techniques and methodologies • Discrete-event simulation of Multi-Agent Systems • Simulation as validation tool for the development process of MAS • Agent-oriented methodologies incorporating simulation tools • MAS simulation driven by formal models • MAS simulation toolkits and frameworks • Testing vs. simulation of MAS • Industrial case studies based on MAS and simulation/testing • Agent-based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) • Agent Computational Economics (ACE) • Agent Computational Finance (ACF) • Agent-based simulation of networked systems • Scalability in agent-based simulation Paper Submission and Publication • Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the symposium. • Accepted and Presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore® database. They will be also submitted for indexation in: DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, Google Scholar, Inspec, Scirus, SciVerse Scopus and Thomson Reuters - Conference Proceedings Citation Index • Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file) • The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style). IEEE style templates are available here. • Selected papers presented at the workshop will be invited to a special issue on “Engineering Complex Systems through Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation” of a premier International Journal which is under selection; the chosen journal will be communicated on this Workshop Web Site. • Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between FedCSIS events. Important Dates • Paper submission: April 22, 2012 • Author notification: June 17, 2012 • Final submission and registration: July 8, 2012 • Conference date: September 9-12, 2012
