-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] ICWSM 2013 Workshop CfP: Social Computing for Workforce 2.0 Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:53:09 +0100 From: Andreas Eckhardt <eckhardt(a)wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Organizations have embraced Web 2.0 technologies, leading to the emergence of 'Enterprise 2.0'. Workers at successful organizations are increasingly mobile, social, and collaborative. Consequently, the field of social computing is increasingly interested in introducing and studying the tools, practices and methodologies that engender the characteristics of such a workforce. As new social computing technologies continue to be embraced and thereby impact the manner in which work is accomplished in these organizations, it is important to discuss their implications on workforce management topics such as recruiting, retention, attrition, training, assessment, employee engagement and productivity. This workshop will provide a forum where designers, practitioners, as well as social science and computer science researchers can: 1) introduce new tools or methods that address workforce management issues, 2) advance our understanding of workforce issues through qualitative and quantitative empirical studies, and 3) discuss the impact and opportunities recent trends such as social, mobile, and crowdsourcing have on the workforce. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore, discuss, and understand challenges and new opportunities that arise from an emerging Social Workforce. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Social listening technologies - Data privacy and protecting employee information - Novel applications and technologies for workforce management - Line of business workforce challenges and solutions, e.g. sales enablement - Voice of the employee - Ethics of crowdsourcing - Critical studies of workforce related issues - Cross cultural studies of the workforce - Workforce analytics (social analytics, predictive analytics, social network analysis) - Industry-specific (e.g. pharmaceuticals, retail, food & beverages) workforce solutions and case studies - Novel social learning and knowledge management approaches - The role of HR in workforce management and optimization - Novel work(place) models - Novel approaches for talent management (recruiting, assessment, retention) - Crowdfunding More information about the workshop is available at http://socialworkforce.wordpress.com/ *Submission* We welcome submissions that address our workshop theme.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2013 Minitrack & BPMJ Special Issue: "New Frontiers in Business Process Management" Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:30:29 +0000 From: Müller Oliver <Oliver.Mueller(a)uni.li> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS ################################################################################## AMCIS 2013 Minitrack & BPMJ Special Issue: "New Frontiers in Business Process Management" ################################################################################## Business processes management (BPM) is a management approach that has its roots in a range of practices, such as Kaizen, TQM, and BPR. It makes use of methods and tools dedicated to the identification, documentation, improvement, implementation, and execution of organizational processes. Although BPM has been a popular topic for decades, the field is still evolving. Current technological developments and environmental pressures extend the reach and richness of BPM beyond its traditional frontiers. Considering the reach of BPM, the growing importance of alliances and networks requires end-to-end business processes to be managed across multiple organizations. The roles of employees and customers also change, evolving to more active initiators and participants of process improvement endeavors. Organizations that previously refrained from adopting a systematic approach to manage their operations finally turn to BPM methods and technologies as well. Regarding the richness of BPM, new methods and tools are proposed that help organizations with the successful adoption of BPM. Current web-based technologies may increase the involvement of internal and external stakeholders and reduce organizational inertia. Improved analysis functionality like process mining can leverage organizational learning. This mini-track intends to serve as a platform for research on these current trends in BPM. We invite contributions from disciplines including information systems, information management, computer and management science to properly cover all current discussions on possible advancements to business process management. Boundary-spanning research that connects BPM with other than the named disciplines is also welcome. Potential topics of interest are, but are not limited to: Extending the reach of BPM - BPM in new or previously less-covered domains (e.g., non-for-profit organizations, healthcare organizations and public administrations) - Management of new or previously less-covered types of business processes (e.g., semi- or unstructured processes, knowledge- and information-intensive processes, creative processes) - Inter-organizational BPM - Green BPM - Adoption and adaptation of BPM (X-aware BPM) Extending the richness of BPM - Positive process deviance and organizational learning - Process mining - Process repository management - Process innovation management - Real-time BPM - Mobile computing and BPM - Cloud computing and BPM - Open-source BPM software - Case management - Web-based process modeling and process registries - Collaboration and participation in BPM - Social BPM - Gamification in BPM Submission Deadline: Fri, Feb 22, 2013 More Information: http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75… Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ) Special Issue: We arranged a corresponding special issue on "New Frontiers in Business Process Management" with the Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] FYI: CfC HMD294 - Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Datum: Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:20:24 +0100 Von: Siegfried Reich <siegfried.reich(a)salzburgresearch.at> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Informationssysteme stellen neben Eigenschaften wie Zuverlässigkeit, Sicherheit, Skalierbarkeit usw. zunehmend Anforderungen an die Gestaltung: Menschen als Benutzer sollen in der Interaktion mit Informationssystemen bedürfnisgerecht und situationsbezogen unterstützt werden. Und oftmals ist vom ganzheitlichen Erlebnis beim Umgang mit Softwaresystemen die Rede. Human Computer Interaction (HCI, zu deutsch wohl am besten mit „Mensch-Computer-Interaktion“ übersetzt) ist daher ein interdisziplinäres Feld: neben Technikern und Ingenieuren braucht es beispielsweise Designer, Psychologen, Arbeitswissenschaftler, und andere, um Systeme zu schaffen, die die Benutzer bestmöglich unterstützen. Das Schwerpunktheft 294 der „HMD – Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik“ widmet sich dem Themenfeld HCI mit Beiträgen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, die den Stand-der-Technik in Bezug auf Technologien, Methoden und Strategien aufzeigen bzw. über Erfahrungen aus der Praxis berichten. Wir suchen ab sofort Beitragsvorschläge: bitte übermitteln Sie uns Titel, Gliederung und ein kurzes Abstract, sodass wir die Heftplanung machen können. Die Beiträge sollten 8-10 Seiten (das sind gesamt maximal 30.000 Zeichen inklusive Abbildungen) umfassen.

This covers special constellations related to the use of models and modeling languages, for example, the ability to automatically derive model editor functionality from formal specifications of modeling languages (meta-models, grammars, etc.). In addition, design principles and implementation options for requirements towards modeling tools, such as wizard support for interactive modeling, or alternative ways to display graphical models, are discussed. All kinds of models are included in this discussion, either domain-specific or general-purpose models, as well as graphical and textual models with their related software tooling support. Intended audience are scientists and practitioners, who apply modeling techniques and model-driven procedures, and develop their own modeling tools. Dates: 2013-04-15 Paper submission 2013-05-31 Notification to authors 2013-06-21 Camera-ready version Possible topics for submissions are (related topics are also welcome): - How can formal language descriptions, e.g. meta-models or language grammars, be consulted for partially or fully automatizing the creation of modeling tools? - How can process models of modeling activities be be made a basis for innovative modeling tool development? - Which methodical implications are bound to the use of code generation approaches to create tooling support, and how do they compare to runtime interpreter solutions? - How can versioning conflicts be handled or avoided during parallel development of modeling languages, modeling tools, and existing model instances? - Which role do model editors play as end-user interfaces to control applications (“models at runtime“)? To what extent do “models at runtime” blur the border between developing modeling tools and other types of applications? Submissions and reviews: Full paper submissions may have a maximum of 10 pages. You can also submit a short paper with at most 5 pages. All submissions must be made in PDF format and comply with the IEEE Computer Society Conference Proceedings Format Guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). All papers will be refereed by at least 3 members of the workshop program committee. Accepted papers will be published along with the EDOC proceedings. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and be made accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library.

From the Far East, to the Americas and to Europe, cities, villages and their surroundings are trying to solve urban problems by evolving towards a new dimension in which the information infrastructure becomes an indispensable asset of our life, contributes to the development of info-ecosystems embracing 'smart mobility and last-mile logistics', 'smart health', 'smart government', 'smart culture and tourism', the sustainability of the natural resources and the green economy. Such integrated effort of info-urbanism represents a practical realization of the infrastructural background needed to reify the UL part of the DULP framework (D -> Design Inspired Learning; U -> Ubiquitous Learning; L -> Liquid Learning Places; P -> Person in Place Centred Design; see previous workshops DULP@ICALT2010, DULP@ICALT2011, DULPSPeL@ICALT2012) and, inevitably, leads one to wonder about what the forms of future smart education will be. The problems hidden behind the smart city framework, however, are quite relevant: a) Very often in today's models of Smart Cities, ICT (Information and Communication Technology) infrastructures are mainly considered as indispensable assets to optimize the consumption of resources and to streamline movement across the city: goods, people and data. In other terms ICT is seen as enzyme and catalyst able to optimize city's processes both in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. The field of education is no exception: in all smart city benchmarking and ranking, in fact, education is considered to be an enabling factor that impacts the quality of life only in terms of infrastructure and services (density of schools, provision of content and services through large band width, ability to produce competencies necessary for the functioning of the system, etc.) Such models tend to underestimate the relevance of the letters D and P of the DULP framework. Individuals who live in the city can not be considered just numbers; they are people who in their actions are driven by motivations and expectations, individual desires and needs, who have their own styles. Individuals that with the increasing complexity of the society also need to learn how to define and redefine on the fly their evolutionary path to realize their expectations. b) To avoid possible new 'divides' and become, thus, 'smart citizens', individuals need to acquire new skills. At present it is not completely clear what such skills would be and how their acquisition may be facilitated by the technological context, and through it assessed. In other words, what are the dimensions of “digital ethniticity” when is comes to ICT and learning in smart cities? It seems that technical skills will be no longer sufficient and that the individuals need to acquire more and more the so called 'people skills', whose acquisition is much more complex to monitor. c) No smart city model can be considered universal because local cultures and constraints have a key role in determining the route toward the development of a smart city and, therefore, future educational paths and processes; it implies that the approach toward the smartness of the education must therefore be a 'glocal ' one, in which technologies are expected to respect the characteristics of the context (cultural sustainable development) OPEN QUESTIONS -------------- In the scenario depicted in the introduction many questions arise and wait for answers and solutions, among them: • How the way of learning has changed, is changing and will change because of the smart city, and in particular what are the literacy and competences people need to learn in order to live in a smart city environment ? • Through which educational technology supported path will everyone, and especially youths, become “participatorly” aware learners and citizens of the future smart cities ? • How will we learn from the open books that are represented by cities of art, parks, agro-tech and industrial/productive districts ? • How will data flowing from sensorised areas and personal devices will be elaborated to support awareness and continuous learning? • How will our behaviour be influenced by knowledge of co-evolution mechanisms and limits of the ecosystems? • Would 'smart cities learning' help to reinforce social inclusion and a common sense of belonging ? • and last but not least, how all this may depend on the characteristics of the environment and how much room there will be for personalization and contextualization ? Will the educational infrastructure be smart enough to readjust, even “autopoietically”, to satisfy the needs and support the expectations that everyone could develop life long, in different contexts? IMPORTANT DATES --------------- • February 22 - Deadline for paper submission (no extension is expected) • March 8 - Notification of acceptance • March 15 - ICALT 2013 authors' registration deadline • April 15 - camera-ready paper due TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ Smart City Learning @ ICALT2013 is looking for contributions that describe, explain or envision: • Technological Ecosystems supporting learning within and from the 'smart cities' (toward 'web-mobile-internet of thing' integrated environments) • Educational Ecosystems: from ''intelligence' to life-long autopoietic education (re-skill & edupoiesis) • Ubiquitous serious games for Smart City Learning • Future 'smart cities' learning scenarios (contexts and methods for the citizens of the future) • Ecological monitoring and visualization of flows, behaviors, experience's styles and 'smart cities' learning (analytics and visualization) Privacy and security for learning in ubiquitous environment (safe environments and fluxes) Unique models for ‘smart cities’ and learning suited to developing countries • Ubiquitous personalization and contextualization, glocalities, identities (cultural effect and inclusion) Any other topic meaningful to Smart City Learning PAPER FORMAT and PUBLICATION ---------------------------- Accepted workshop contributions will be published in the ICALT 2013 proceedings by IEEE Computer Society Publications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: LAST CFP ICSOFT 2013 - 8th International Joint Conference on Software Technologies (Reykjavík/Iceland) Datum: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 11:46:59 -0500 Von: ICSOFT Secretariat <postmaster13(a)303media.net> Antwort an: icsoft.secretariat(a)insticc.org <icsoft.secretariat(a)insticc.org> An: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Dear Gustaf Neumann, Let me kindly inform you that the 8th International Joint Conference on Software Technologies (ICSOFT 2013 - http://www.icsoft.org/) steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to the ICSOFT 2013 Conference, to be held in Reykjavík, Iceland. The deadline for paper submission is scheduled for February 6, 2013. ICSOFT 2013 will be held in Reykjavík, Iceland, July 29 - 31, 2013. The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and co-organized by the Reykjavik University (RU). INSTICC is Member of the Object Management Group (OMG) and Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). The purpose of ICSOFT - since 2013 designated as the International Joint conference on Software Technologies - is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners working in areas that are either related to new software paradigm trends or to mainstream software engineering and applications. ICSOFT is composed of two co-located conferences, each specialized in the aforementioned areas. Together, ICSOFT-PT and ICSOFT-EA aim at becoming a major meeting point for software engineers worldwide. ICSOFT-PT (8th International Conference on Software Paradigm Trends) will focus on the four main paradigms that have been intensively studied during the last decade for software and system design, namely: Models, Aspects, Services and Context. These four paradigms will drive the design and development of future software systems encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from programming issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from models and services to the most complex management information systems; distributed systems, ubiquity, data interoperability; context understanding and many other topics are included in the scope of ICSOFT-PT. ICSOFT-EA (8th International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications) will have a practical focus on software engineering and applications. The conference tracks are "Enterprise Software Technologies", "Software Engineering and Systems Security", "Distributed Systems", and "Software Project Management". Software technologies are essential for developing any enterprise information system, encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from programming issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from software security to mobile applications; distributed systems, ubiquity, software quality as well as project management and other related topics are included in the scope of ICSOFT-EA. ICSOFT is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 127 submissions 11% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 32% were presented as short papers and 11% as posters. We would like to highlight the presence of the following keynote speakers: - François E. Cellier, ETH Zürich, Switzerland - Alexander Smirnov, SPIIRAS, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian Federation - Claes Wohlin, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden - Armin Größlinger, University of Passau, Germany Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. 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/). Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea. ICSOFT 2013 will be held in conjunction with DATA 2013 (www.dataconference.org), SIMULTECH 2013 (www.simultech.org) and ICETE 2013 (www.icete.org). Registration to ICSOFT will enable free attendance to any sessions of DATA, SIMULTECH and ICETE as a non-speaker. Should you have any question please don't hesitate contacting me.
