-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Final CfP ASPOCP 2012: 5th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 19:38:53 +0200 From: aspocp(a)gmail.com To: undisclosed-recipients:; =============================================================================== FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2012 5th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms http://sites.google.com/site/aspocp12 September 4th, 2012 Collocated with the International Conference on Logic Programming 2012 Budapest, Hungary September 4-8, 2012 =============================================================================== AIMS AND SCOPE Since its introduction in the late 1980s, answer set programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which has led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most studied relationship which is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL theorem provers, and CLP systems. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction. This workshop will facilitate the discussion about crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving, and applications , in combination with or inspired by other computing paradigms. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). - ASP and constraint programming. - ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). - ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. - ASP and probabilistic reasoning. - ASP and machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions to ASP. - ASP and multi-agent systems. - ASP and multi-context systems. - Modularity and ASP. - ASP and argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. - Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. - ASP and related paradigms in applications. - Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP: 2nd International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA)
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 2nd International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA) Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:29:12 +0200 From: Andreas Nuernberger <andreas.nuernberger(a)ovgu.de> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives(SDA) in conjunction with the 16th Intl. Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL) 27th September 2012 in Paphos, Cyprus http://sda2012.dke-research.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OBJECTIVES: The workshop "Semantic Digital Archives" aims to promote and discuss sophisticated knowledge representation and knowledge management solutions specifically designed for improving Archival Information Systems. It can be expected that using Semantic (Web) technologies in general and Linked Data in particular can mature the area of digital archiving and preservation, as well as technologically tighten the natural bond between digital libraries and digital archives, which are approaching this topic from different views (e.g., there might be promising combinations of pertinence and provenance models since those are traditionally the prevailing knowledge organization principles of the library and archiving community, respectively). Semantic representations of contextual knowledge about cultural heritage objects enhance organization and access of data and knowledge. In order to achieve a comprehensive investigation, the information seeking and document triage behaviors of users have to be included in the research as well. For the purpose of a comprehensive investigation of the topic, it is intended to bring together the digital libraries community, the digital archiving community and the semantic technologies community. This full day workshop will be an exciting opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization. We also explicitly encourage a closer dialogue between the technical oriented communities with people from the (digital) humanities and social sciences, as well as cultural heritage institutions in general in order to approach the topic from all relevant angles and perspectives. TOPICS OF INTEREST We intend to have an open discussion on topics related to the general subject of Semantic Digital Archives. Hence, we welcome contributions that focus on, but are not limited to: * Ontologies& linked data for digital archives and digital libraries (including multimedia archives) * Semantic search& semantic information retrieval in digital archives and digital libraries (including multimedia archives) * Implementations and evaluations of semantic digital archives * Visualization and exploration of content in large digital archives * User interfaces for semantic digital libraries * User interfaces for intelligent information retrieval (including multimedia information retrieval) * User studies focusing on end-user needs and information seeking behavior of end-users (document triage) * Semantic (Web) services implementing the OAIS standard * Logical theories for digital archives * Theoretical and practical archiving frameworks using Semantic (Web) technologies * Semantic or logical provenance models for digital archives or digital libraries * Knowledge evolution * Information integration/semantic ingest (e.g. from digital libraries) * Trust for ingest& data security/integrity check for long-term storage of archival records * Semantic extensions of emulation/virtualization methodologies for digital archives * Semantic long-term storage and hardware organization tailored for digital archives * Migration strategies based on Semantic (Web) technologies SUBMISSION DETAILS: Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers related to the aforementioned topics. We invite: * regular papers (8 to 12 pages) * short papers (2 to 6 pages) All submissions are required to be in PDF format. Long and short paper submissions must be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS format (www.springer.com/computer/lncs). Please submit your manuscript using the EasyChair online submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sda2012 All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. All papers accepted at the Semantic Digital Archives Workshop must be presented during the Workshop by a SDA Workshop registered participant. Papers presented at the Workshop will be published in the Workshop proceedings, which will be available as a separate publication after the Workshop. IMPORTANT DATES * Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2012 * Acceptance Notification: July 30, 2012 * Camera-ready papers: August 25, 2012 * Workshop: September 27, 2012 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE& PROGRAM COMMITTEE: The Organizing Committee members and the Program Committee members are mentioned at http://sda2012.dke-research.de/index.php/committees _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Mikko Rajanen, Netta Iivari, and Kaisa Anttila - http://aisel.aisnet.org/jitta/vol12/iss4/2 Development of IT-enabled Chronic Care Management for the Medically Underserved: A Contextualist Framework Darryl S. Romanow, Lars Mathiassen, Glenn Landers, and Chris Parker - http://aisel.aisnet.org/jitta/vol12/iss4/3 EDITORIAL NEWS This issue completes our 12th volume and our third volume as a journal of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). It is also our pleasure to announce the co-operation agreements with two AIS Special Interest Groups, the AIS SIG for Services and the AIS SIG Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology, as well as the IFIP Working Group 8.2 for Information Systems and Organizations, and Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST). Our goal is to publish a special section or a special issue for each of these communities. In the future, we look forward to welcoming other interested research communities, and thus further developing the journal. THE CURRENT ISSUE In this issue, we publish two articles that address contemporary issues in information systems development. Rajanen et al. (2011) have addressed two important themes in their research. Open source software (OSS) development has been changing the way we currently conceptualize development work. Rajanen et al. present four case studies that have applied the OSS approach to software development in different settings. The focus of their study has, however, been the usability issues in OSS development. The paper contributes to the literature by experimenting with different approaches for introducing usability activities into the OSS development context. Rajanen et al. use a consultative approach in two of the reported case studies and find that the consultative approach did not have an impact. The two latter case studies use a participative approach, which has a greater impact. These findings are important, not only in terms of the OSS development, but for the practice of information systems development in general. The second article addresses a similarly important theme in information systems development. Romanov et al. (2011) take a contextualist view to the development of IT-enabled chronic care management. They apply the principles of contextual design and contextual inquiry (Holtzblatt and Beyer 1993) for context inferred health information systems development and propose a framework for the purpose. Romanov et al. (2011) demonstrate the use of the framework through a case study. The case study illustrates how IT-enabled support for chronic care management was designed and implemented in a community clinic in the Southeast U.S. The article applies the Chronic Care Model (Wagner et al. 2001) as the theoretical foundation for the development of the framework. The article also provides interesting methodological insights to the academic audience. Finally, the paper depicts how to apply Collaborative Practice Research (Mathiassen 2002) in a case study setting over the length of three years. REFERENCES Holtzblatt, K., and H.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP for ACM RecSys Workshop on Context-Aware Recommender Systems (CARS '12) Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2012 06:27:30 +0000 From: Hussein, Tim <tim.hussein(a)uni-due.de> To: um(a)di.unito.it <um(a)di.unito.it>, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, editor1(a)kdnuggets.com <editor1(a)kdnuggets.com>, CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG <CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG> Apologies for cross-posting. ============================================================================ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS 4TH WORKSHOP ON CONTEXT-AWARE RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS (CARS-2012) (In conjunction with the 6th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems) September 9, 2012 - Dublin, Ireland http://www.cars-workshop.org ============================================================================ This workshop builds upon the success of the previous three Workshops on Context-Aware Recommender Systems held in New York (2009), Barcelona (2010), and Chicago (2011), which brought together an international group of researchers to explore the importance and use of contextual information in recommender systems as well as to discuss new research directions. The importance of contextual information has been recognized by researchers and practitioners in many disciplines, including e-commerce personalization, information retrieval, ubiquitous and mobile computing, data mining, marketing, and management. While a substantial amount of research has already been performed in the area of recommender systems, the vast majority of existing approaches focuses on recommending the most relevant items to users and does not take into account any additional contextual information, such as time, location, weather, or the company of other people. Therefore, this workshop aims to bring together researchers with wide-ranging backgrounds to identify important research questions, to exchange ideas from different research disciplines, and, more generally, to facilitate discussion and innovation in the area of context-aware recommender systems (CARS). In particular, topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to): -- Context modeling techniques for recommender systems; -- Context-aware user modeling for recommender systems; -- Data sets for context-dependent recommendations; -- Algorithms for detecting the relevance of contextual data -- Algorithms for incorporating contextual information into recommendation process; -- Algorithms for building explicit dependencies between contextual features and ratings; -- Interacting with context-aware recommender systems; -- Novel applications for context-aware recommender systems; -- Mobile context-aware recommender systems; -- Context-aware group recommendations; -- Large-scale context-aware recommender systems; -- Evaluation of context-aware recommender systems. In case the main topic of the paper is a challenging dataset for context-aware recommender systems, the author(s) should describe the data model and the main features of this dataset, and make the dataset available for the research community. PAPER SUBMISSION The length of research submissions is 5 pages in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format. We also encourage the submission of industry papers, which can have a length of 2-5 pages. Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates for papers in ACM SIG format are provided at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates All submissions must be in English and the files should be in PDF format. Paper submissions and reviews will be handled electronically; each paper will be evaluated by the workshop program committee based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity. All papers must be submitted through the CARS-2012 page on the EasyChair conference management site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cars2012). ACCEPTED PAPERS Authors will present their work at the workshop. Depending on the number of submissions, we are planning to have presentations in front of the workshop audience as well as a poster session, in which participants can discuss their ideas. The accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website. It is planned to publish the proceedings on CEUR as well. The workshop will NOT request the copyright transfer from the authors; therefore, after receiving feedback at the workshop, the authors will be able to submit the improved versions of their papers to conferences and journals (the workshop organizers are currently exploring the possibilities to organize a special issue on this topic in some research journal). IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission: June 18, 2012 Notification of acceptance: July 9, 2012 Please note that the deadline is final and we we can not grant any extension.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Cloud Service Science and Systems@HICSS 46 Datum: Mon, 4 Jun 2012 09:28:26 +0000 Von: Haluk Demirkan <Haluk.Demirkan(a)asu.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> (Apologies for Cross-Posting) Dear Colleagues, Hello! I am serving as a co-chair of the "Cloud Service Science and Systems" Minitrack in the Decision Analytics, Mobile Services and Service Science of the upcoming 46th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_46/CloudServicesDT.pdf). My co-chair and I are writing to internationally renowned scholars such as you with expertise in various areas of service science, service oriented, on-demand, cloud, utility or proactive computing in hopes that you will consider submitting a paper to our minitrack. We have already received a great deal of interest, and your contributions would help us improve the quality of the sessions. The deadline for submitting papers to HICSS-46 is coming closer: June 15, 2012. The topic of this minitrack is in an emerging research need, and there are many areas of interest that are related to the general topic. Please consider submitting your work if it is related to any of the specific topics liste d and/or if you feel it addresses visions of the future of service oriented computing, science, systems and cloud computing. We encourage you to think "out of the box" for this track, and we expect a range of concepts, tools, methods, philosophies and theories to be discussed. We thank you, in advance, for your valuable contribution to HICSS-46. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. I look forward to receiving your submission! Best Regards, Haluk Demirkan - haluk.demirkan(a)asu.edu Cloud Service Science and Systems Haluk Demirkan-ASU, Michael Goul-ASU HICSS-46 CALL FOR PAPERS Grand Wailea Maui, January 7-10, 2013 (Monday-Thursday) Additional detail may be found on HICSS primary web site: http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_46/apahome46.htm The sourcing of IT services needs to be aligned in a manner that takes cost advantage of the commoditization of hardware (e.g., on-demand, utility computing, cloud computing, software oriented infrastructure with virtualized resources, infrastructure service providers), software (e.g. the software-as-service model, software oriented architecture, application service providers), and even business processes (e.g. out-tasking, ITIL, SCOR) in order for organizations to achieve agility. The foundations for Cloud Service Science and Systems are rooted in current applications of service oriented architecture (SOA), Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), Software as a service (SaaS), business process and workflow, computing resource virtualization, business semantics, service level agreements, increasing standardization, end-to-end enterprise integration and other areas of applied and theoretical research. The purpose of this mini-track is to investigate th is paradigm, review the impact of services on federations of enterprises, organizational structures and individuals; investigate its tenets and evaluate relevant management and technical approaches to architecture, infrastructure, business processes, workflows and strategy. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Contents of Volume 13, Issue 5 (May) The History of the IS Field (Continued) Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2012 10:43:51 +1000 From: Gregor, Shirley <Shirley.Gregor(a)anu.edu.au> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Contents of Volume 13, Issue 5 (May) Special Issue on The History of the IS Field (Continued) Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) Official Publication of the Association for Information Systems Published: Monthly Electronically ISSN: 1536-9323 Published by the Association for Information Systems, Atlanta, USA http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/ Editor-in-Chief: Professor Shirley Gregor, the Australian National University, Australia PAPER ONE A Look Toward the Future: Decision Support Systems Research is Alive and Well By Bryan Hosack, Dianne Hall, David Paradice, and James F. Courtney Abstract This commentary examines the historical importance of decision support to the information systems (IS) field from the viewpoint of four researchers whose work spans the several decades of decision support systems (DSS) research. Given this unique "generational" vantage point, we present the changes in and impact of DSS research as well as future considerations for decision support in the IS field. We argue that the DSS area has remained vital as technology has evolved and our understanding of decision-making processes has deepened. DSS work over the last several years has contributed both breadth and depth to decision-making research; the challenge now is to make sense of it all by placing it in an understandable context and by applying our analysis to the relevant issues looming in the future. One major outcome of this commentary is the identification of future trends in DSS research and what the users of these new DSS outlets can learn from the past. Trends include the increasing impact of social and mobile computing on DSS research, as well as knowledge management DSS and negotiation support systems that shift the focus to delivering more customer-centric and marketplace support.

McLean Abstract Since the introduction of information systems more than 60 years ago, organizations want to ensure that their systems are effective or "successful". Much has changed in the evaluation of information systems success during this period. The role of information systems in organizations has changed dramatically, as have the key stakeholders and the expected benefits of the investments in IS. During this period, IS research has evolved to keep pace with the changing expectations regarding the success of information systems, yet practice tends to lag behind. In this commentary, we discuss five eras of information systems evolution and explain how the perceptions and measures of successful information systems have changed across these eras. By looking at the past and present, we are able to comment on how our understanding of success has evolved over time in research and practice. We discuss the inadequacy of IS success evaluation in practice. Finally, we offer four themes as calls for future action related to the research of information systems success.

The past decade has seen a variety of e-government themes researched and presented by scholars in IS, public administration, and political science. In order to reflect on the history of the IS discipline, this article provides an historical assessment of electronic government research. In particular, we review highly cited e-government articles and e-government articles published in the AIS Senior Scholars' basket of journals to assess existing publication outlets, theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, sampling, and topic areas. The analysis of the literature reveals significant insights about the metamorphosis of e-government research over time, the assessment of which serves as a basis for recommendations for future research on this global phenomenon.
