-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] (CfP:1st International Workshop on Knowledge Management in Software Engineering (KMISE Datum: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 10:36:07 +0000 Von: ????? ??? <lmeira(a)shenkar.ac.il> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for papers for the1st International Workshop on Knowledge Management in Software Engineering KMISE to be held in conjunction with the KESE?13 http://www.ksi.edu/seke/seke13.html Knowledge management (KM) has been recognized as an essential component of knowledge-intensive processes, such as software engineering. Current software development processes suffer all too often from inappropriate project costs and duration estimations, cancelation and failures. The developed software product is frequently found fragile and unreliable; not fully complying with the requirements; difficult to upgrade and more. KM can facilitate software engineering by different ways, e.g., increasing the reuse of development experience, processes and products and creating a communication layer between developers and end-users. Current KM systems enable to organize the accumulated experience for better storage and retrieval and open internal communication channels within the development teams and external communication channels between the organization and the end-users, throughout the development and integration processes. The Knowledge Management in Software Engineering workshop will focus on research that examines real settings where KM is embedded in SE, evaluating its role and influence on the software development process and its outcomes. The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research, industry needs, future trends, and sharing practical experiences, involving both academics and practitioners. KMISE is an interactive workshop that aims to connect participants and establish long-term collaborations between them. Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Submissions must be in PDF or DOC format. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. Members of an international and solid program committee will review all submissions. We invite to submit long research papers (up to 6 pages) short position papers (up to 3 pages) or posters. Manuscript must include a 200-word abstract and 2-column formatted Manuscript for Conference Proceedings <http://www.ksi.edu/seke/Conf_Template.dot> (include figures and references but exclude copyright form), using the URL: http://conf.ksi.edu/seke2013/submit/SubmitPaper.php and choosing paper type workshop:Knowledge Management in Software Engineering. Suggested topics: · Tools and technologies for managing knowledge in SE · Methodologies for embedding KM practices in SE · Empirical evidence for implementing KM in SE: risks, costs and benefits, and lessons learned · KM models in SE · Key performance indicators (KPI?s) for measuring and evaluating the influence of KM · Incentive programs for enhancing KM adoption · KM in worldwide-distributed development teams · KM contribution to efficiency (e.g. reuse, cost reduction) · SE developer satisfactions. Important Dates: o Paper submission deadline: 1th March 2013 o Notification of acceptance: 20rd April 2013 o Camera ready: 10rd May 2013 o Workshop day: (TBD) Organizers: Meira Levy(corresponding organizer) Department of IEM Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Israel lmeira(a)shenkar.ac.il <mailto:lmeira@shenkar.ac.il> Irit Hadar Dept. of Information Systems University of Haifa, Israel hadari(a)is.haifa.ac.il <mailto:hadari@is.haifa.ac.il> http://is.haifa.ac.il/~hadari <http://is.haifa.ac.il/%7Ehadari> Sivan Rapaport Marketing Division Columbia Business School, USA sr3060(a)columbia.edu

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: TAProViz¹13 Workshop at BPM 2013
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: TAProViz¹13 Workshop at BPM 2013 Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:52:37 +1000 From: Ross Brown <r.brown(a)qut.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: simone.kriglstein(a)univie.ac.at <simone.kriglstein(a)univie.ac.at> TAProViz?13 2nd International Workshop on Theory and Applications of Process Visualization, Beijing, China - 26 August 2013 In conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM2013) Web Site: http://www.wst.univie.ac.at/topics/taproviz13 Workshop Goals The representation of business process models has been a continuing research topic for many years now. However, many process model representations have not developed beyond minimally interactive 2D icon-based representations of directed graphs and networks, with little or no annotation for information overlays. In addition, very few of these representations have undergone a thorough analysis or design process with reference to psychological theories on data and process visualization. This dearth of visualization research, we believe, has led to problems with BPM uptake in some organizations, as the representations can be difficult for stakeholders to understand, and thus remains an open research question for the BPM community. In addition, business analysts and process modeling experts themselves need visual representations that are able to assist with key BPM life cycle tasks in the process of generating optimal solutions. With the rise of desktop computers and commodity mobile devices capable of supporting rich interactive 3D environments, we believe that much of the research performed in computer human interaction, virtual reality, games and interactive entertainment have much potential in areas of BPM; to engage, provide insight, and to promote collaboration amongst analysts and stakeholders alike. We believe this is a timely topic, with research emerging in a number of places around the globe, relevant to this workshop. This is the second TAProViz workshop being run at BPM. The intention this year is to consolidate on the results of last year's successful workshop by further developing this important topic, identifying the key research topics of interest to the BPM visualization community. Workshop Theme Visualizations can make the structure and dependencies between elements in processes accessible in order to support users who need to analyze process models and their instances. However, effectively visualizing processes in a user-friendly way is often a big challenge, especially for complex process models which can consist of hundreds of process components (e.g., process activities, data flows, and resources) and thousands of running process instances in different execution states. Many challenges remain to be addressed within the broad area of process visualization such as: scalability, human-computer interaction, cognitive aspects, applicability of different approaches, collaboration, process evolution, run-time requirements of process instances and applications, etc. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): ?Visual Metaphors in Processes ?Visual Design and Aesthetics for Processes ?Visualization of Dynamic Data in Processes ?Change Visualization for Processes ?Interface and Interaction Techniques for Process Visualization ?Visualization Techniques for Collaboration and Distributed Processes ?Visualization of Large-scale Processes ?Cognition and Perception in Process Visualization ?Evaluation and User Studies of Process Visualization ?Visual Modeling Languages ?Analysis Techniques and Visualization for Processes ?Process Visualization of Large Screens ?Mobile Process Visualization ?Visualization Tools and Systems for Processes ?Visualization Techniques for Processes ?Process Visualization and Sonification ?Virtual World Process Visualization ?Immersive Process Modeling Approaches ?3D Process Visualization Approaches Format of the Workshop The 1?2 day workshop will comprise accepted papers and tool presentations. Papers should be submitted in advance and will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. There will be a single LNBIP volume dedicated to the proceedings of all BPM workshops. As this volume will appear after the conference, there will be informal proceedings during the workshop. At least one author for each accepted paper should register for the workshop and present the paper. In addition, there will be a joint meeting of the participants, to continue the development of a process visualization research community that will continue to work together after the workshop. Intended Audience Researchers, practitioners and software vendors in the BPM space performing research into using graphics and interaction techniques to provide process visualizations across many topics will find this workshop to be of interest. Important Dates ?Deadline for workshop paper submissions: 25 May 2013 ?Notification of Acceptance: 25 June 2013 ?Camera-ready version: 23 July 2013 ?TAProViz Workshop: 26 August 2013 Paper Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Three types of submissions are possible: ?(1) full papers (12 pages long) reporting mature research results ?(2) position papers reporting research that may be in preliminary stage that has not yet been evaluated ?(3) tool reports Position papers and tool reports should be no longer than 6 pages. Only papers in English will be accepted and must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Papers should be submitted in the << LNBIP>> format. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/tool report). All accepted workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). Hard copies of these proceedings will be shipped to all registered participants approximately four months after the workshops, while preliminary proceedings will be distributed during the workshop. Submitted papers will be evaluated, in a double blind manner, on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly establish their research contribution and the relation to the theory and application of process visualization. Papers (in PDF format) should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair site. Registration Accepted papers imply that at least one of the authors will register for <<(BPM2013)>> and present the paper at the TAProViz workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] EC-TEL 2013: Third Call for Papers and other Contributions Datum: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 13:47:29 +0200 Von: Announcements <announce(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> An: telespazio.com, <WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> HTML Message *** Third Call for Papers and other contributions (short version) *** EC-TEL 2013: Eighth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning "Scaling Up Learning for Sustained Impact" 17-21 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus http://ec-tel.eu/ The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) is a unique opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field. Through EC-TEL, established and emerging researchers as well as practitioners, entrepreneurs, and technology developers explore new collaborations, strengthen networks, and complement their core experience. While Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has created enormous changes in schools, universities and at the workplaces, innovations have tended to be unsustainable. Too often, initiatives need a high degree of effort to be sustained, and are consequently endangered when funding stops. Many initiatives now focus on scaling up bottom-up initiatives to create higher and more sustainable impact. These initiatives require an interdisciplinary perspective in TEL research and development, drawing on core disciplines of Computer Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social Science. This blend of research traditions has always been a strength of EC-TEL and its vibrant community. We invite contributions for demonstrations, workshops and project meetings, as well as original research papers. A doctoral consortium will also be organized concurrently with the workshops. See the website for more details: http://ec-tel.eu/ Note: the European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW) will be hosted from 21-25 September at the same location as EC-TEL 2013. So there is a good opportunity to visit both conferences at the same time. IMPORTANT DATES * Papers, posters, demonstrations abstracts: 25 March 2013 * Papers, posters, demonstrations full submissions: 2 April 2013 * Papers, posters, demonstrations acceptance notifications: 4 June 2013 * Camera ready versions: 28 June 2013 * Room reservation deadline for project meetings: 15 June 2013 (On-site meeting rooms available 16-18 & 21 September 2013) * Workshop proposals: 2 April 2013 * Workshop acceptance notification: 30 April 2013 * Workshops: 17, 18, 21 September 2013 * Main conference: 18-20 September 2013 SUBMISSION FORMATS Submissions will be handled through EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ectel2013). <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ectel2013%29.> All papers will be reviewed through a non-blind review process.

Detailed information about the journal CHB (Computers in Human Behavior) can be found at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-in-human-behavior. The 5-year impact factor of CHB is 2.476. So prospect authors working on the digital creativity-related topics as exemplified in the below are cordially invited to submit their papers to this exciting special issue. Any inquiries about this special issue are welcomed, and expected to be sent to the contact email address of the guest editor. Detailed information about this special issue is described in the following. OVERVIEW It is clear that we are living in the ubiquitous computing era in which all kinds of mobile and ubiquitous devices such as smart phones and sophisticated laptop computers are transforming our daily lives into so-called digital lives. The ubiquity supported by them is destined to change our creativity related activities in companies and homes as well as in our personal lives. The concept of creativity spans a multitude of domains; from art to science, literature to business and beyond. Current definitions of creativity (e.g. scientific or organizational) typically describe the construct as involving ?the generation of novel behavior that meets a standard of quality or utility?. Traditionally, creativity research was performed in the context of case studies, survey analyses and anecdotal approaches. As digital innovation catalyzed by ubiquitous computing technologies quickly permeated our daily lives, however, creativity started to take a new shape called ?digital creativity? ? a construct formulated when we are using modern computing technologies on computers for any purpose. In other words, digital creativity can be easily experienced and observed when we use computers for various purposes such as playing online games, communicating with others through social networking sites, making digital animation and music, designing a building with special design software, analyzing data with statistical and/or specialized AI software, manufacturing products and even writing papers with word processor. It therefore cannot be overstated that our daily lives, organizations and relationships are governed by digital creativity to considerable extents. Surprisingly, however, most of research issues related to digital creativity such as how it unfolds in a specific context, when its outcomes are maximized and which patterns it shows along time in specific situations still remain unexplored to date. This special issue assumes that digital creativity and its influence are reshaping individuals, teams and modern organizations. Creativity has been a research target for many years in the field of organizational researchers. As digital technologies like the internet become an established norm for communications, work and entertainment, the conventional definition of creativity must be redefined and reinterpreted from the perspective of ubiquitous computing technology. Through using a wide variety of computing devices and technologies, individuals can easily cultivate their own creativity that has remained untouched and under stimulated for years. Those individuals, who in the past had to idle with mediocre things and live isolated from a more brilliant culture and people, are now enabled to nourish themselves with a variety of rich information that can be obtained from borderless and limitless digital worlds powered by ubiquitous computing devices and technologies. Those organizations, who before the ubiquitous era had to work within their own limits and communicate with outside teams only in a very limited form, can now work in a literally networked fashion, connecting to other teams and persons and organizations through the digital networks which are operated by ubiquitous computing power. Organizations can also connect with other organizations via computing technologies for the purpose of mutually agreeable collaboration. Now is the time for individuals, teams and organizations to pursue digital creativity and increase their performance as well as their satisfaction. TOPICS Both researchers and practitioners who are interested in digital creativity are strongly encouraged to submit their papers on this issue. The submitted papers should cover innovative aspects of digital creativity research through applying integrative advantages of ubiquitous computing technologies to real creativity issues. Papers with novel models, simulation and empirical studies are welcomed. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Conceptual framework for investigating digital creativity itself (discussion from multiple perspectives is welcomed) Empirical studies showing significant contribution of digital creativity in IT-dominated fields like mobile business, ubiquitous decision support, health informatics, HCI, online games, e-learning, etc, to name a few Relationships between individual creativity, team creativity and organizational creativity Computational studies about the digital creativity (such as agent-based methods, intelligent techniques, etc) The balance between exploration and exploitation in order to improve digital creativity How to transform teams and organizations into ambidextrous ones from the perspective of improving digital creativity Influence of various factors (i.e., heterogeneity, task complexity, culture, motivation, learning capability, etc) on digital creativity Digital creativity and its role in human-robot interaction (HRI) Neuroscience approach to analyzing digital creativity Miscellaneous topics only if they are related to digital creativity Feel free to contact guest editor when you are not certain about the suitability of your topics with this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND EDITORIAL COMMUNICATIONS: Manuscripts submitted to this special issue should be original, not previously published in nor submitted to other journals.

This is also the case in the traditional FREG (foods, resources, energy and goods) services, because almost all traditional services are replaced fully or partially by web services. Demand-driven web services (DDWS) as a tri-paradigm, a computing paradigm, a service paradigm, and a management paradigm, is becoming important for web services, service computing, cloud computing, and social networking computing. However, many fundamental issues in developing DDWS remain open. For example, what is the demand theory of web services? What is a demand-driven architecture of web services? How should real world demands be classified? How should web services be classified? How can an ontology of web services be developed? This book will address these issues by exploring the cutting-edge theory, technologies, and methodologies of demand driven web services based on the novel classification of demands and web services emphasizing cloud services, mobile services, social networking services and e-business services from a perspective of computing, service and management. This book also provides applications of the proposed theory, technologies and methodologies to successful demand-driven web services in the real world. The proposed approaches will facilitate research and development of web services, e-business, service computing, mobile computing, cloud computing, and social computing.
