Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer Society Services account for a major part of the IT industry today. Companies increasingly like to focus on their core expertise area and use IT services to address all their peripheral needs. Services Computing is a new science which aims to study and better understand the foundations of this highly popular industry. It covers the science and technology of leveraging computing and information technology to model, create, operate, and manage business services. Like its predecessors, SCC 2014 will contribute in building the pillars of this important science and shaping the future of Services Computing. Services Computing currently shapes the thinking of business modeling, business consulting, solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture design, development and deployment. The global nature of Services Computing leads to many opportunities and challenges and creates a new networked economic structure for supporting different business models. SCC 2014 will help in bridging the gap between business services and information technology by driving research in technologies such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process integration and management, service engineering, cloud computing, and Web 2.0. The International Conference on Services Computing (SCC) covers the whole lifecycle of innovation research and enabling technologies, which includes enterprise modeling, business consulting, solution creation, services delivery, services orchestration, services optimization, services management, services marketing, services delivery and cloud computing, service-oriented architecture (SOA), business process integration and management, and Web services technologies and standards.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CAiSE'14 Thessaloniki, Greece - deadline extended to Dec 9 Datum: Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:47:43 -0500 Von: E. Yu <eric.yu(a)utoronto.ca> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 26th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New paper submission deadline: 9 December 2013 Note count-down clock! http://delab.csd.auth.gr/caise2014/important_dates.php *Call for Papers* *Information Systems Engineering in Times of Crisis* http://delab.csd.auth.gr/caise2014/ Real-time information systems and overly complex financial products have been blamed as causes of recent financial crises. The IS Engineering community is treating such phenomena as challenges, to be addressed through research and improved practices. In particular, our community has begun to address the role of information systems in predicting, preventing, and reacting to crises of many different kinds: data-centric financial and fiscal dependency analysis of the globalized financial systems, resilience of critical infrastructures by information management, reaction to natural disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, etc. Due to the very nature of crises as unexpected events with broad and vast impact, IS Engineering challenges traditional wisdom and methodologies, as well as interactions between research and practice including stakeholders such as crisis victims. CAiSE '14 will, as always, act as a forum of discussion that brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of IS Engineering. It will be the place to share mature research, ground-breaking ideas, and experience reports in our discipline. CAiSE welcomes all submissions that fall in the domain of information systems engineering. This year, the conference extends a special welcome to papers that address the role of IS engineering in crisis situations. Four kinds of contributions are accepted: technical papers, empirical evaluation papers, reports of experience, and exploratory papers. The CAiSE topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: // /Methods, techniques and tools for IS engineering/ ·Innovation and creativity in IS engineering ·Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling ·Requirements engineering ·Business process modeling, analysis and management ·Requirements, models, and software reuse ·Adaptation, evolution and flexibility issues ·Domain engineering ·IS in networked & virtual organizations ·Method engineering ·Knowledge, information, and data quality ·Languages and models ·Mining, monitoring and predicting ·Variability and configuration ·Matching, compliance and alignment issues ·Conceptual design and modelling ·Security ·Service science // /Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS/ ·Service-oriented architecture ·Model-driven architecture ·Component based development ·Agent architecture ·Distributed, mobile, and open architecture ·Innovative database technology ·Semantic web ·IS and ubiquitous technologies ·Adaptive and context-aware IS // /Domain specific IS engineering:/ ·Crisis Management ·eGovernment ·Enterprise applications (ERP, COTS) ·Data warehouses and business intelligence ·Workflow systems ·Knowledge management systems ·Content management systems *Important dates* ·Paper submission deadline: *9 December 2013* ·Tutorial submission deadline: *13 December 2013* ·Notification of acceptance: *17 February 2014* ·Conference, Workshops & Related Events: *16-20 June 2014* *Author Guidelines* *Types of contributions*. We invite four types of original and scientific papers: /Formal and/or technical papers/describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential - or, even better, the evaluated - benefits of the contribution. /Empirical evaluation papers/evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. /Experience papers/present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. /Exploratory Papers/can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to addressing the identified situation. *Submission Conditions*. Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. The type of paper (technical/empirical evaluation/experience/exploratory paper) should be indicated in the submission. *Publication*. Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'14 and published in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors elected best papers from the conference will be invited to submit an expanded version for publication in the journal, Information Systems. *Venue* Thessaloniki is the second largest city of Greece, with a population of 1.000.000 people. Apart from its landmark, the White Tower, the city boasts important historical sites, museums and cultural activities. It is also known as a cosmopolitan and commercial center, with exceptional nightlife in its famous Ladadika quarter. The music scene in the city is vibrant and diverse and includes nightclubs, dance halls, discos, cafes and music bars, jazz clubs and more, along with a wealth of live performances, both musical and theatrical. In addition to important Byzantine and Archaeological museums within the city, travellers can visit the Archaeological site of Vergina (the capital of ancient Macedonia). This is the venue of Phillip's tomb (the father of Alexander the Great), a site full of remarkable treasures of art and culture. Also within a short distance (45 minutes by car) one can visit mount Olympus (the mountain of the ancient Gods) where "Dion" the holy city of ancient Macedonia is located. For these and many other reasons, Thessaloniki is the cultural capital of northern Greece! CAISE'2014 will be hosted at the MET Hotel (http://www.themethotel.gr <http://www.themethotel.gr/>), located very close to the historic center of Thessaloniki, 17 km from "Macedonia" airport. A block of rooms has been reserved for the conference registrants. *Organising Committee* /Steering Committee/ ·Barbara Pernici, Politecnico di Milano, Italy ·Oscar Pastor, Universitat Politècnica València, Spain ·John Krogstie, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway /Advisory Committee/ ·Arne Sølvberg, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway ·Janis Bubenko Jr, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden ·Colette Rolland, University of Paris 1, France /General Chairs/ ·Colette Rolland, University of Paris 1, France ·Yannis Manolopoulos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece ·Haralambos Mouratidis, University of East London, UK /Program Board Chair/ ·Eric Dubois, Public Research Center H.

How do boys and girls, how do men and women make use of computers and modern media? What interests and needs can be recognized in this use? Are there differences, similarities or convergences? In lessons and training courses in the informatics domain, girls are and have long been underrepresented. This finding has its continuation in scientific education and on the job market, where few women engage in IT related subjects and professions. Also, they rarely take up leading positions. Consequently, the role of IT in education and work has to be further looked into. Career choices and qualification paths in the IT domain have to be investigated and possibly be developed in new and innovative ways. *Call for Papers* Researchers and practitioners are invited to participate with contributions from their own work in the conference. Relevant topics include + gender specific aspects of IT appropriation and use + the role of the new media + gender awareness in computer science curricula and IT trainings + the relation of gender and IT in education, training and work + the significance of gender for career choices and qualification paths in the IT domain *Submissions:* December 2nd 2013 *Notifications:* February 1st 2014 *Camera-ready papers due:* March 10th 2014 *Program Committee* Antonella De Angeli, University of Trento Shaowen Bardzell, Indiana University Mark Blythe, Northumbria University Susanne Bødker, Aarhus Universitet Tone Bratteteig, University of Oslo Margaret M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ECIS 2014: full papers, Reasearch in Progress and Prototypes Datum: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 08:16:45 +0000 Von: <C.Avgerou(a)lse.ac.uk> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): teeni(a)post.tau.ac.il Dear colleagues As the December 8 deadline for *ECIS 2014:** Digital Work, Digital Life*submissions is fast approaching, it is worth noting the following: ·Numerous tracks (e.g., Advancing Theories and Theorizing, Alternative Genres, Digital Health Initiatives, Human Computer Interaction) have journal sponsorship by which select papers might be eligible for fast-tracking in journals including EJIS, Health Policy and Technology, AIS Transactions of HCI, Annals of Information Systems, and more. Please see individual track descriptions for more details about each track's journal sponsorship: http://ecis2014.eu/the-tracks/** ·Presentation of Research in Progress(RIP) papers will be either in roundtable or poster form. Both of these presentation modalities are intended to be highly interactive so as to provide authors with lots of feedback that will help them develop their papers further. Clustering these RIP papers into discussion groups with shared interests will be the task of three RIP Track Chairs: Mark Silver, Lior Fink and Steve Alter. ·The prototype is a new type of paper submission for ECIS. Prototypes are technical solutions (e.g., a piece of software and/or a hardware device) that were developed in response to a specific practical problem. Prototype papers need to provide reviewers with insight into (1) the problem that the system solution addresses, including prototype's design objectives, (2) why this is a problem that requires the development of a new prototype, i.e., why prior theory and practice is not sufficient, (3) what the prototype solution looks like (e.g., images, screenshots), (4) what contribution to extant theory and/or practice this prototype makes (i.e., beyond the prototype itself), and (5) how the authors plan to present the prototype (e.g., what technological infrastructure would be needed). At ECIS, prototype presentations will take the form of system demonstrations. These demonstrations can be (a) a live demonstration of the technology, (b) videos showing the prototype in use, (c) posters illustrating and explaining the prototype, or (d) any combination of these three modalities. For more information visit the ECIS 2014 website at http://ecis2014.eu/ Best regards Chrisanthi Avgerou and Dov Te'eni Conference co-chairs Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://lse.ac.uk/emailDisclaimer

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] ACM Web Science 2014 Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals Datum: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:53:50 -0500 Von: Jared Lorince <jlorince(a)indiana.edu> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de [Apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute widely] CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ACM Web Science Conference (WebSci’14), June 23-26, 2014 Bloomington, Indiana, USA websci14.org <http://websci14.org/> · @WebSciConf · #WebSci14 Deadline for workshop proposals: January 17th, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: January 31st, 2014 Workshops Date: June 23 2014 Call for Workshops and Tutorials The Web is the largest information network ever devised. It opens a universally accessible space for communication and knowledge sharing, with vast effects on society that we are just starting to grasp. Web Science is the emerging field that studies the structure, function and evolution of the WWW to ultimately unravel the social potentials and consequences of this ubiquitous network. The Web Science conference will start with tutorials and workshops that will promote in-depth training and discussions with the goal of understanding how people, organizations, applications, and policies shape and are shaped by the Web. In agreement with the spirit of the conference, the tutorials and workshops are intended to create opportunities for interdisciplinary discussion around themes and methods that are central to the study of the Web. The list of themes includes, but is not restricted to, 1. Methods for data mining and network research; 2. The study of social dynamics (i.e. political campaigns, censorship) using Web data; 3. The relationship between technical design and individual behaviour (i.e. the impact of by-default design on privacy); 4. The future of the Web in an era of increasing mobile applications; 5. The incentives and limits of regulation; 6. Participatory systems and crowdsourcing; 7. The dynamics of information creation (supply) and consumption (demand) and its relation to real world events. We will give priority to proposals that approach their topic from the perspective of various disciplines, spanning the divide between the social and computer sciences. Tutorials and workshops can be designed as half or full day events. Workshops can have a mixture of panel presentations and invited speakers, but presentations should reflect the diversity of approaches that characterize the multidisciplinary nature of Web Science. Submission Tutorial and workshop proposals should contain the following information: 1. Title summarizing the tutorial goals or workshop theme. 2. Details of the organizing committee, including names and institutional affiliations. 3. Max two-page description about the relevance, motivation and goals of the tutorial or workshop. 4. Schedule of sessions, panels, and talks (half or full day). 5. Names of instructors and potential invited speakers. 6. For workshops, selection criteria for papers to be presented. 7. Tutorial or workshop website URL (advisable). It is the prerogative of organizers to decide whether to have an open call for participants and papers, or arrange panels by invitation only (for workshops), as well as deciding the duration (full or half-day) of the event. Proposals should include as many details as possible about sessions, speakers, and talks: they will be evaluated by their coherence and ability to address the stated goals. Is is the responsibility of organizers to advertise their event, and (for workshops) constitute a program committee to review and select papers, manage the review process, and possibly arrange for selected papers to be published in a special issue of a to-be-identified journal. We advise proposals to have, at the time of submission, a website describing the event and, if applicable, information about similar events held in the past. Selected tutorials and workshops will be linked from the main conference site. Proposals should be submitted in pdf format through Easychair to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=websci2014ws. Review The Web Science workshop chairs will review each submission and select those with the higher scores on originality and relevance of the proposed topic, its interdisciplinarity, rigor of the review process, coherence with the conference aims, and potential to attract a large audience .

The area of e-Learning realizes such kind of educational environments because distributed learners can learn collaboratively with multimedia contents anytime and anywhere by employing collaborative e-Learning technologies. Collaborative e-learning technologies include a variety of approaches that involve joint intellectual effort by learners and instructors. In such learning contexts, collaborative learning happens when groups of learning seekers work together to search for understanding or meaning or build a new competency, and/or learning providers and pedagogues deliver joint solutions to create a learning product. In addition collaborative e-learning involves other issues related to the software and hardware architectures that underlie e-learning systems, or the evaluation and effectiveness of these systems using techniques such as learning analytics. This workshop solicits researches for systems and concepts which offer high quality education with thinking of learners' convenience, such as collaborative learning systems, sharing and exchanging systems, monitoring/mentoring systems, learning design and pedagogy in technology-enhanced learning, design and development of e-learning systems, MOOCs, quality in e-learning, and learning analytics. E-Learning outcomes have been judged to be equivalent or superior to face-to-face instructions at many institutions and it has the same educational effect on learners in instructors' impressions. Hence, this is a promising field with a lot of potentials which should be assessed carefully. We invite original contributions from researchers and practitioners in academia, government and industry, in order to go forward toward new collaborative information technology systems for e-Learning. *Ce-Learning Workshop Topics of Interest include, but not limited to:* * Learning Theories and Approaches for e-Learning * e-Learning Pedagogical Strategies and Models * Pedagogy in Technology-enhanced Learning * Collaborative Learning Systems and Computer Supported Collaborative Learning * Intelligent Educational Systems * Monitoring/Mentoring Systems * Designing e-Learning Settings and Tasks * Knowledge Management/Sharing * Learning Design Technology * Organizational Collaboration * Mobile Learning and Collaboration Technologies * Cloud Computing in e-Learning * Learning Management Systems (LMS) * Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) Tools * Social Support Software for e-Learning * e-Moderating, e-Tutoring, e-Facilitating * Online Assessment and Impact Studies * Ethical Issues in e-Learning * Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) * Managed Learning Environments (MLEs) * Virtual Campuses and Classrooms * Smart Collaborative Learning Environments * Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) * Media for Group Works * Network Learning Games * Learning Web Services * Best Practices to Promote Cooperative Learning * Videogames in e-Learning * Software and hardware architecture of e-learning systems * Learning analytics * Semantic Web and Ontologies for Learning Systems * Web 2.0 and e-Learning * e-Learning Assessment * PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS* You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to e-Learning and collaboration systems.

Fwd: [AISWorld] BPMDS'2014 - Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] BPMDS'2014 - Call for Papers Datum: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 23:30:21 +0100 Von: Selmin Nurcan <nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleague, BPMDS is a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. One of the major aims is to discuss and to learn about concepts and techniques to enhance the ability to engineer software systems closer the business requirements. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2014 Kind regards, Selmin Nurcan On behalf of BPMDS'2014 Organising Committee *************************************************************************************************** International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS'2014) the 15th edition of the BPMDS series held in conjunction with CAiSE'14 16-17 June 2014, Thessaloniki, Greece Submission deadline: February 26th, 2014 The Call for Papers can be downloaded from the BPMDS Web site http://www.bpmds.org *************************************************************************************************** SPONSORS: -------- - Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). BPMDS Working Conference is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series). - International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1). ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE: -------------------------- The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference. The BPMDS series has produced fourteen events from 1998 to 2013. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series: 1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development 2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers. 4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: http://www.bpmds.org/history BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ------------------- BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a main selection criterion. As a working conference, we would like to attract papers describing mature research, but we still give place to industrial reports and visionary idea papers. To encourage new and emerging challenges and research directions in the area of business process modeling, development and support, we have a unique focus theme every year. Papers submitted as idea papers will be required to be of relevance to the focus theme, thus providing a mass of new ideas around a relatively narrow but emerging research area. Full research papers and experience reports are not required to be directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to BPMDS though). The focus theme for BPMDS'14 idea papers is *The human perspective in Business Processes *** The human perspective is of essence since it is humans who drive business processes rather than computers. This perspective plays a major role in all phases of Business Process Modeling, Design and Support. The human perspective in business process modeling relates to the individual who creates a process model, to the communication among people that is facilitated by the business process model during and after the modeling process, and to the social process of collaborative modeling. The human perspective in business process design relates to the kind of interaction / collaboration / coordination / cooperation that should to be implemented in the business process or to specific human-related aspects of the business process itself and their representations in models. Human perspective in business process support relates to all social aspects of the business process and its management in an organization. We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this theme and submit idea papers that deal with specific complexity aspects of business processes, such as data orientation as in MDM (master data management) and relation to big data, need for context-awareness and flexibility, and integration of business processes with social media. We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this theme and submit idea papers that deal with specific human aspects of business processes. We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well as experience reports on using theories in practice. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: ---------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: *Business Process Modeling* - Business process modeling languages, notations and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling - Representations of humans in business process models (expertise, skills, preferences, intentions, emotions...) - Actor-driven (vs activity driven) representations of business processes - Coherence among multi-perspective representations - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling business processes - Verification and validation of business process models - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse - Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components; modeling for reuse - Domain specific reference models - Business process modeling enhanced by social software and social networks *Business Process Support* - Business process change management and governance issues - Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business processes - Business process support architectures and platforms - Business process support based on a service-oriented architecture - Business process support combined with social software and social networks - Work allocation in business processes - Actor support vs control support in business processes - Enhancing creativity in business processes - Mobile technologies and context aware business processes - Business processes using cloud-services *Requirements on Business Processes* - Human-centric business processes - Compliance, reliability, security, performance - Flexibility, variability, adaptability - Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement - Human resource management in business processes - User-oriented aspects - Strategy, business processes, people and IT: alignment, fit and coherence - Knowledge-intensive business processes - Context aware business processes - Cross-organizational business processes - Data-intensive business processes - BPMDS in the cloud SUBMISSIONS: ----------- Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that concerns business process modeling and development, and/or business process support (development of software dedicated to business processes). We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For full research papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation. Thus three kinds of submissions are possible: (1) Full research papers. (2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines. (3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging challenges; the compliance to the focus theme is mandatory for idea papers, which should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc. Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them. Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2014 . PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling", as the five previous years (LNBIP 29, LNBIP 50, LNBIP 81, LNBIP 113, LNBIP 147). After the BPMDS'14 conference, extended versions of the accepted papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal. The previous special issues are: BPMDS'13 in SoSyM in progress, BPMDS'12 in SoSyM in progress, BPMDS'11 in IJISMD, vol. 4, issue 2, 2013 - BPMDS'10 selected paper in REJ, vol. 17, issue 2, 2012 - BPMDS'09 in IJISMD, vol. 2, issue 2, 2011 - BPMDS'08 in JSME vol. 24, issue 3, 2012 - BPMDS'07 in IJBPIM, vol. 4, issue 2, 2009 - BPMDS'06 in IJBPIM, vol. 3, issue 1, 2008 - BPMDS'05 in SPIP, vol. 12, issue 1, 2007 - BPMDS'04 in SPIP vol. 10, issue 4, 2005 & REJ vol. 10, issue 3, 2005, BPMDS'02 in BPMJ, vol. 11, issue 6, 2005.
