Fwd: [WI] CfP: Semantics for Big Data AAAI Fall Symposium 2013
by Gustaf Neumann 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: Semantics for Big Data AAAI Fall Symposium 2013 Datum: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 21:34:35 -0400 Von: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> An: Pascal Hitzler <pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de> Semantics for Big Data AAAI 2013 Fall Symposium; Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia, November 15-17, 2013. http://stko.geog.ucsb.edu/s4bd2013/ Description and Scope One of the key challenges in making use of Big Data lies in finding ways of dealing with heterogeneity, diversity, and complexity of the data, while its volume and velocity forbid solutions available for smaller datasets as based, e.g., on manual curation or manual integration of data. Semantic Web Technologies are meant to deal with these issues, and indeed since the advent of Linked Data a few years ago, they have become central to mainstream Semantic Web research and development. We can easily understand Linked Data as being a part of the greater Big Data landscape, as many of the challenges are the same. The linking component of Linked Data, however, puts an additional focus on the integration and conflation of data across multiple sources. Workshop Topics In this symposium, we will explore the many opportunities and challenges arising from transferring and adapting Semantic Web Technologies to the Big Data quest. Topics of interest focus explicitly on the interplay of Semantics and Big Data, and include: the use of semantic metadata and ontologies for Big Data, the use of formal and informal semantics, the integration and interplay of deductive (semantic) and statistical methods, methods to establish semantic interoperability between data sources ways of dealing with semantic heterogeneity, scalability of Semantic Web methods and tools, and semantic approaches to the explication of requirements from eScience applications. Workshop Format, Submissions, and Proceedings The symposium will be highly interactive with spotlight presentations and small breakout groups interleaved with plenary sessions for reports on the breakout groups and for consolidation of results. To prime and channel discussions and group activities during the event, we call for the submission of position papers or extended abstracts of 2-4 pages, or of technical papers of 6-8 pages (in AAAI format). Please address questions to Pascal Hitzler at pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu. Submissions shall be made through easychair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=s4bd13 by May 24th, 2013.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Volume 5 Issue 1 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction
by Gustaf Neumann 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Volume 5 Issue 1 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction Datum: Sun, 31 Mar 2013 00:59:38 -0400 Von: Galletta, Dennis <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu> An: 'AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org' (AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org) <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Announcing the Publication of Volume 5 Issue 1 of /AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction/ HCI in the Era of Web 2.0 (http://thci.aisnet.org) While spring weather seems to be crawling much too slowly towards us in the Northeast US, we take to reading to warm us up. This timely special issue of AIS Transactions on HCI should provide plenty of fireside reading on a very timely topic: HCI in the era of Web 2.0. This first issue of our fifth volume covers online communities for women, communities to communicate up-to-date weather information, and Twitter adoption, emotions, and interface design. THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library (*_http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci_*). To increase awareness and readership, /THCI/ is still freely available to everyone during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website, <http://aisel.aisnet.org/> including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS <http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the journal. We are also pleased to announce that we have published the journal on time for all 17 issues. ============ In this issue ============ This special issue of THCI addresses HCI issues in the era of Web 2.0. The special issue editors were Ozgur Turetken and Lorne Olfman, who graciously provided the summaries below. This issue has four research articles. Titles, authors and abstracts are listed below. Editorial: Introduction to the AIS THCI Special Issue on Human Computer Interaction in the Web 2.0 Era Ozgur Turetken and Lorne Olfman Paper #1: "Developing an Online Community for Women in Computer and Information Sciences: A Design Rationale Analysis" by Mary Beth Rosson and John M. Carroll This study tells the story of how faculty and students iteratively developed an online community based on action design research (Sein et al., 2011) which "conceptualizes the research process as containing the inseparable and inherently interwoven activities of building the IT artifact, intervening in the organization, and evaluating it concurrently" (p. 37). In this case, the IT artifact is a Web 2.0 based online community; the organization is a group dedicated to sustaining a community of women who want to consider being, are studying to be, or are practicing computer and information scientists; and the evaluation is accomplished through design rationale analysis. Over a period of more than two years the authors along with a number of students created the various versions of the online community, which grew slowly but surely in terms of the number of members and the amount and types of content. A key design criterion was enabling community members without high level technical skills to take the lead in maintaining and further enhancing the community application. This was one of the reasons why the last iteration was built using Drupal. Paper #2: "Web Weather 2.0: Improving Weather Information with User-generated Observations" by Katarina Elevant and Stefan Hratinski This paper is also about the design of an application using an action design research approach. The problem space was to find a way to make weather forecasting for specific local areas more accurate than the ones that are typically based on one observation location in a relatively large area (100 square kilometers). Using the principles of weather forecasting along with the knowledge that a social media application could enable capture of current localized data, the authors developed a prototype system. Then they refined the system by assessing the kinds of current weather conditions three user groups (children, noncommuters and commuters) were able to report. The result is an application called Shareweather. Paper #3: "Emotions in the Twitterverse and Implications for User Interface Design" by Anatoily Gruzd This study uses multiple methods to tease out ideas for updating one facet of the Twitter interface. The authors take a standard (rather than an action research-based) approach to design science, and focus on tweaking an interface rather than building an application. They apply automated sentiment analysis (Liu, 2012) to a large dataset of "tweets" about the 2010 Winter Olympics to determine the influence of positive versus negative messages. A user survey was then conducted to help validate the findings of the sentiment analysis. The results lead to a proposal to revise the user interface of Twitter to increase the likelihood that tweeters would post/disseminate negative messages. Paper #4: "Disentangling Twitter's Adoption and Use (Dis)Continuance: A Theoretical and Empirical Amalgamation of Uses and Gratifications and Diffusion of Innovations" by Constantinos K. Coursaris, Wietske Van Osch, Jieun Sung, and Younghwa Yun This study tests a simple model that examines what factors contribute to usage of Twitter. This paper differs from the others in the special issue in that it applies a traditional research approach (rather than design science techniques) by statistically analyzing the results of a survey of active and inactive Twitter users. One or the other of two theories, stated in the paper's title, has been used to explain usage of social media. This paper creates a model that incorporates both theories, and the data show that the relationships between constructs and usage vary with respect to active and inactive users. ================== Call for Papers ================== /THCI/is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, /THCI/ is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues.

Fwd: [computational.science] ASONAM 2013: Call for Panels, Exhibits & Demos
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] ASONAM 2013: Call for Panels, Exhibits & Demos Datum: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:33:08 +0200 Von: asonam2013(a)gmail.com Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Dear Colleague, *** Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email *** Call for Panels, Exhibits & Demos at ASONAM 2013 ==================================================================== for the 2013 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM'13) Niagara Falls, Canada, 25-28 August 2013 http://asonam.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/ ==================================================================== ASONAM 2013 will hold a panels, exhibits and demos section which intends to demonstrate the potential and the diversity of advanced research into social network analysis and mining. The aim of the call is to bring together a mix of substantial achievements as well as research in its embryonic stage of development. Ideas, prototypes and software that can be demonstrated are all welcome. A panel proposal should be submitted by the panel moderator. The proposal should tackle a state of the art evolving and of increasing interest problem in the area of social network analysis and mining. The proposal should include a title, a brief up to two pages description and a list of the potential panelists who are experts in the field and are expected to attend ASONAM 2013. The exhibits and demos call is set to attract presenters from a diverse range of disciplines, technologies, and domains. The target audience will be made up of academics, researchers, various scientific communities, private enterprise, and government representatives from around the world. This call is open particularly to organizations that are involved in the long term development and research of social network analysis and mining technologies. We would be pleased to receive proposals from university researchers, research institutes and centres, not-for-profit organizations, public authorities, private companies, non-government organizations independent of the size of department or organization. The exhibition will be a key element of the conference and will be set up for the duration of the conference. It is hoped that delegates will not only learn about cutting edge social network analysis and mining tools and techniques but that they will be stimulated by the visual representations that they view as they walk around the exhibits and demonstrations. Proposals that offer delegates a hands-on walkthrough capability via a demonstration will be looked upon favourably. Scenario-based proposals will also give delegates the ability to grasp the application of the idea, proof of concept, or operational software. Methodological rigour behind the demonstrations should also be an element of the presentation that exhibitors can provide delegates who are more interested in how the process or software works, than the actual software itself. The Chairs are willing to consider proposals that can demonstrate the potential of social network analysis and mining with a view to specific contexts and application areas which can be enriched by such analysis. The panels, exhibits and demonstrations can be at the proof of concept level involve mock-ups of proposed implementation, or fully-fledged and tested systems. It is hoped that participants can receive critical feedback about their solutions and research achievements from delegates who themselves might be users of such social network analysis technology. Presentations can feature preliminary results or final outcomes. Panels, exhibits and demonstrations should: * show conceptual and methodological elements, as well as solid preliminary results from cutting edge research and development work. They should be of interest to a wide audience of specialists from multiple disciplines (computer science and engineering) as well as to non specialists (e.g. potential customers of social network analysis tools, and the media); * contain strong visual aspects and, if possible, allow hands-on experiences for visitors. They should be based scenarios or contexts so that delegates can grasp the usefulness and application of the software or process developments. The objects, artefacts and applied technologies should largely tell their own story. Exhibits that show mainly mathematical results without a plain English description are discouraged; * be attractive and captivating, not based purely on poster and screen display, although both posters and screen displays will be considered. Posters should only be used as eye-catchers and mainly be illustrative application areas, with textual content minimised. Videos are encouraged or scrolling powerpoint presentations. Availability of physical prototypes, interactivity and originality will be taken into consideration for selection. Selection Criteria ------------------ Exhibit proposals will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria: 1. Is the research of a long term nature in the domain of social network analysis and mining? 2. Visual impact, quality of visitor experience and originality. Does the exhibit look attractive? Is the content clear and of relevance to the audience? 3. Is the exhibit easy to understand. Does it efficiently illustrate the foundational research work and its potential transformative impact on application contexts? How easy is it to understand what is going on? What is the level of interactivity? How exciting will be the 'visitor experience'? What is original in the proposed exhibit? Logistics --------- The following will be available free of charge to successful applicants: * the space allocated to your panel, exhibit or demonstration; * walls and construction elements; * some furniture (1 brochure rack, 1 demonstration table and 2 chairs); * technical arrangements and infrastructure (LAN, bandwidth needed, electrical power, lighting, etc); * Internet access; * 1 printed poster A0 format board to stick visuals onto; * 1 PC Screen The following items are NOT provided and the costs must be borne by the applicant: * Insurance costs. The conference cannot be held liable for lost, damaged or stolen property.

This lays the foundation for so-called cyber-physical systems (CPS). These are integrations of computational, network, and physical systems, whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing and communication core. Relevant application areas are the areas of transportation, health-care, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, defense, aerospace, robotic and buildings. Cyber-physical systems have the potential to transform how we interact with the physical world around us. The design, implementation, verification and management of cyber-physical systems pose a multitude of technical challenges that need to be addressed by researchers from a multitude of different disciplines. Additionally, in any case, a paper to be acceptable needs to be related to agent-technology. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: . Architecture of CPS . Engineering design techniques and tools for CPS . Systems Software and Network Supports . Verification, Validation, and Certification of CPS: . Robustness and Safety of CPS . Real-time System Abstractions . Agents and Cyber-Physical Systems . CPS and QoS Composition Challenges . Real-Time Embedded Systems Abstractions . Interactions between engineering structures, information processing, humans and the physical world . Sensor and Mobile Networks . Education and Training . Computational Abstractions for CPS . SOAs and middleware for CPS . Security, privacy and trust in Cyber-Physical Systems . Applications of CPS in the areas of transportation, health-care, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, defense, aerospace, robotic and buildings *Structure of CyPhySyA* CyPhySyA will be a full-day workshop and will include several presentation sessions for the accepted paper as well as invited papers on topics of overall interest in order to kick off intense and lively discussions. It is intended to end the workshop with a panel/discussion round in which the relevant results of the workshop will be discussed. ** ** *Review Process* Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 Program Committee members. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, quality of presentation, practical applicability. Some preference may also be given to papers which address emergent trends or important common themes. In general, papers to be acceptable, must be of substantial relevance for the multi-agent systems research community. ** ** *Journal publication of excellent papers* It is intended to invite authors of excellent papers to submit an extended version of their paper to the IOS Multiagent and Grid Systems journal (MAGS). This journal has a high reputation and is often classified as a B-class journal. If enough high quality papers will be submitted it is planned to publish them as a special issue, otherwise as regular papers. ** ** *Workshop organizers/PC Chairs* Edward Curry, Digital Enterprise Research Institute, Ireland, edcurry at acm.org Huaglory Tianfield, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK, h.tianfield at gcal.ac.uk Rainer Unland (primary contact), University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, Rainer.Unland at icb.uni-due.de ** ** *Program Committee* Alois Ferscha, Institut für Pervasive Computing, Austria Amit P.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP Int. WS on Techniques and Applications for Mobile Commerce (TAMoCo) as part of FedCSIS, Kraków, Poland, September 8-11, 2013, Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:50:24 +0100 From: Rainer Unland <rainer.unland(a)icb.uni-due.de> Organization: University Duisburg-Essen To: undisclosed-recipients:; Techniques and Applications for Mobile Commerce (TAMoCo'13) Kraków, Poland, September 8-11, 2013 http://fedcsis.org/tamoco as part of FedCSIS Multiconference http://fedcsis.org/ *Important Dates:* Paper submission: May 12, 2013 Author notification: June 17, 2013 Final submission and registration opening: July 8, 2013 Conference date: September 8-11, 2013 *Description:* Mobile Commerce (M-Commerce) comprises applications and services that are accessible from Internet-enabled mobile devices. It involves new technologies, services, and business models. Whilst it is different from traditional e-Commerce it can also be considered as an extension of it since, among other reasons, it makes e-Commerce available, in a modern way, to new application areas and to a new set of customers. Mobile devices, such as smart phones or tablets, open the door to a great assortment of new applications and services. This may also include new types of specific application settings such as medical environments, industrial workspaces, process monitoring, automatics and diagnostics or measurement activities in remote and distributed environments. Location, other context information and personal data are used to tailor services directly to the needs of the user. This leads to pervasive environments in which users can always access the Internet. While this seems to be a good development it also means that privacy concerns become more and more important. The goal of TAMOCO is to bring together researchers and practitioners that work in different aspects of mobile services in the context of business and industrial applications. This includes the incorporation of web services and cloud-based services, autonomic mobile computing, and the integration and interplay with urban systems, industrial settings, medical environments and other contexts. Also, application areas such as mobile learning, human centred design, ubiquitous computing and extended enterprise are covered. Finally, security is perhaps the most important factor for the success of mobile commerce and mobile applications. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* * Tools, technologies, platforms and infrastructure for mobile networks and applications * Concepts and methods for evaluating problems and the usefulness of mobile technologies * Maintenance and management of distributed, remote sensing systems in industrial workspaces * Autonomic middleware for mobile computing * Mobile learning theories, games and simulation * Analysis and Design of mobile web-service based applications * Enabling technologies for ubiquitous systems (mobility, interconnectivity, pervasiveness as well as personal and body area handheld devices examples) * Governance models of mobile computation * User experience, user interface design and user studies for mobile devices and systems * Human factors and user centred design in mobile technology applications * Collaborative, cooperative and contextual mobile learning * Pedagogical and social issues as well as cultural and regional differences in mobile learning * Integration of mobile solutions in urban infrastructure * Measurement, control, and evaluation of urban infrastructure by mobile solutions *Paper Submission, Publication and Indexation* * Authors should submit full papers (as Postscript, PDF, MSWord, or ODF file). * The total length of a paper must not exceed 8 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references).

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: Book: Demand-Driven Web Services: Theory, Technologies and Applications Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:09:50 +1100 From: Zhaohao Sun <zhaohao.sun(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 2nd CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS Book: Demand-Driven Web Services: Theory, Technologies and Applications Edited by Zhaohao Sun and John Yearwood To be published by IGI Global, USA Website: http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/927 Theme Web services are playing a pivotal role both in business, service computing and social networking services, and cloud computing. 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. Aims and Scope This book aims at a broad audience of researchers and practitioners, and provides the reader with an updated understanding of demand-driven web services, cloud services, mobile services, and social networking services by attracting high quality manuscripts from academic researchers, policy makers and practitioners in this area. Papers of all theoretical and technological approaches and applications are welcome. Submissions that cross multiple disciplines such as service, business, management, industry, information systems, and intelligent systems to develop theory and provide technologies and applications that could move theory and practice forward in demand-driven web services, cloud services, mobile services, e-business services, and social networking services are especially encouraged. Topics Topics of contributions include, but are not limited to, the following Part I. Theory of demand-driven web services * Topics: fundamental concepts, models, architectures, frameworks, schemes or theories for planning, designing, building, operating or evaluating, managing demand-driven web services. Part II. Technologies for demand-driven web services * Topics: AI-based technologies as such: rule-based systems, ontology-development systems, machine learning techniques, multi-agent systems techniques, neural networks systems, fuzzy logic systems, cased-based reasoning systems, genetic algorithms techniques, data mining algorithms, intelligent agents, user intelligent interfaces; and emergent AI-based technologies, Web technologies, service technologies, social networking technologies, decision making technologies, DSS technologies are welcome Part III. Applications for demand-driven web services * Topics: case studies and applications in using technologies and fundamental theory in Part I, II in the representative service domains such as: e-business services, mobile services, social networking services, cloud services, financial services, legal services, healthcare services, logistics services, educational services, e- FREG services, and military services taking into account demands from government, organization, enterprise, community, individual, customer, and citizen. Part IV. Trends and Challenges on demand-driven web services * Topics: emergent AI-based technologies, technologies of Big data, social networking services, integrations of these technologies, and the implications, challenges for demand-driven web services. Part V. Emerging demands and emerging demand-driven web services. * Topics: Emerging demands, emerging technologies including human computation and big data management, methodologies for demand-driven web services.

Abawi, Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes * Prof. Dr. Matthias Goeken, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management * Prof. Dr.-Ing. André Miede, Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes Teilworkshop 2: * Prof. Dr. Matthias Goeken, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management * Prof. Dr. Konrad Walser, Berner Fachhochschule /Teilworkshop 2 wird von der GI-Fachgruppe "Strategisches Informationsmanagement" ausgerichtet./ Weitere Informationen zu beiden Teilworkshops und zur Tagung selbst finden Sie auch online unter: http://www.gvs-workshop.de bzw. http://www.informatik2013.de _________________________________________________________________________________ ** *Teilworkshop 1: "IT-Governance in Verteilten Systemen (GVS)"*** *Überblick* Ansätze und Strategien zur IT-Governance sind für viele Unternehmen heutzutage nahezu unverzichtbar geworden. Dazu trägt die Notwendigkeit bei, die IT des Unternehmens an den aktuellen Trends der Gestaltung und Entwicklung komplexer IT-Systeme auszurichten. Hier liegt das Gewicht klar auf verteilten System- und Softwarearchitekturen, die beispielsweise dem Paradigma der Service-orientierten Architekturen (SOA) oder des Cloud Computings folgen. In diesem Umfeld führt insbesondere die Steuerung und Kontrolle der Systemlandschaft und deren Zusammenspiel mit der fachlichen Seite zu neuen Herausforderungen, welche durch ein ganzheitliches IT-Management sowie ein strategisches Informationsmanagement abgedeckt werden müssen. Darüber hinaus verlangen auch externe Faktoren wie die wachsende Anzahl staatlicher Regulatorien (z.B. MiFID, Basel II & III, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Legal Unbundling in der Energieversorgung) die Einführung einer effektiven und effizienten IT-Governance, welche die Einhaltung gesetzlicher, technischer und interner Regelwerke (auch als Compliance bezeichnet) gewährleistet. Eine Hauptherausforderung an die IT-Governance stellt die Notwendigkeit einer Steuerung der gesamten Systemlandschaft dar. Parallel hierzu entstehen neue Anforderungen an die Unternehmensstruktur bzw. -organisation, Rollen und Verantwortlichkeiten, Softwarelebenszyklen, oder -standards, die allesamt wichtige Einflussfaktoren darstellen. Um diesen Herausforderungen ganzheitlich begegnen zu können, ist die Entwicklung zeitgemäßer Governance-Ansätze sowie unterstützender Applikationen notwendig. Im Rahmen des Teilworkshops "IT-Governance in Verteilten Systemen" sollen einerseits aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten einschließlich "Work in Progress" zum Themenkomplex IT-Governance in Verteilten Systemen sowie dem strategischen Informationsmanagement vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Andererseits soll der Workshop aber auch Teilnehmern aus der Industrie die Möglichkeit bieten, von ihren Erfahrungen aus der Praxis der IT-Governance zu berichten. *Themen*** Beiträge können insbesondere zu folgenden Themen eingereicht werden: * SOA-Governance und Cloud-Governance * Governance-Frameworks sowie deren Anwendbarkeit in unterschiedlichen Szenarien * Standardisierungen im Governance-Umfeld * Richtlinienmodelle für die IT-Governance * Best Practices für die IT-Governance * Governance aus Sicht von Geschäftsprozessen * Softwarelebenszyklusmanagement * Monitoring in Verteilten Systemen * Service-Management und Risk-Management * Security, Privacy & Trust * Service-Engineering * Data Governance * Strategisches Informationsmanagement * Andere Themen im Bereich "IT-Governance in Verteilten Systemen". _________________________________________________________________________________ ** *Teilworkshop 2: "IT-Governance und Strategisches Informationsmanagement in Organisationen des Gesundheitswesens, der öffentlichen Verwaltung und in Non-profit-Organisationen"*** *Überblick* Die Öffentliche Verwaltung, das Gesundheitswesen und Non-Profit-Organisationen sind im Rahmen der -- auch europäischen -- Wirtschaftskrise großen Unsicherheiten und großem Spardruck unterworfen. Die aktuellen Entwicklungen in den Bereichen IT-Sourcing, Cloud Computing, Vernetzung und Interoperabilität erfordern neue Führungs-, Steuerungs-, Entscheidungs- und Managementmodelle zum Strategischen Informationsmanagement. Zudem stellt sich im Gegensatz zum privaten Sektor zunehmend die Frage, welches das eigentliche Steuerungsmodell im Öffentlichen Sektor ist. Der Teilworkshop thematisiert diese Entwicklungen mit Bezug auf Auswirkungen auf die IT-Governance und das Strategische Informationsmanagement. Das Gesundheitswesen, der Öffentliche Sektor sowie Non-Profit-Organisationen sind heute -- unter anderem aufgrund der immer intensiveren Vernetzung -- auf eine funktionierende und angemessene IT-Unterstützung angewiesen. Durch E-Government und E-Health werden organisationsübergreifende Prozesse und institutionsübergreifendes Informationsmanagement Tatsache, was zusätzlichen Druck auf eine konsistente, organisationsübergreifende IT-Governance und ein Strategisches Informationsmanagement -- u.a. das Management verteilter Architekturen einschließend -- erzeugt. Im Teilworkshop werden u.a. Strukturen, Prozesse, entscheidungsorganisatorische Aspekte sowie Reifegrade des Strategischen Informationsmanagements und der IT-Governance bis hin zum IT-Servicemanagement in der öffentlichen Verwaltung, im Gesundheitswesen und in Non-profit-Organisationen thematisiert. Die Grundlage für den Teilworkshop stellen verschiedene Ausgestaltungsarten von IT-Organisationen, der Einfluss der Ausgestaltung auf die Einbeziehung der Service-Provider sowie die Beziehung zum Servicenutzer (IT-Governance versus IT-Servicemanagement) dar. Unter anderem stehen wir ausgehend von den oben dargestellten Sachverhalten (E-Health, E-Government, E-Education, etc.) vor der Herausforderung Strategisches Informationsmanagement und IT-Governance nicht mehr nur innerinstitutionell sondern zunehmend auch Institutions-übergreifend zu verstehen und zu gestalten. In solchen Vernetzungskontexten sind herausfordernde Änderungen der IT-Governance und des Strategischen Informationsmanagements erforderlich und vorprogrammiert. *Themen* /Bereich IT-Governance in Verwaltung, Organisationen des Gesundheitswesens und Nonprofit-Organisationen / * Implementierungsaspekte und -erfahrungen zu COBIT sowie zur ISO/IEC 38500, aber auch zu anderen Rahmenwerken wie ITIL, ISO/IEC 20000 * Erfahrungen mit dem Einsatz von IT-Governance Rahmenwerken und Spezifika im Zusammenhang damit; allenfalls einschließlich IT-Servicemanagement Rahmenwerken * Instrumentarium und Werkzeuge zur IT-Governance bezüglich IT-Serviceprovidern * Spezifika von IT-Controls * IKS und deren Unterstützung mit IT-Systemen * Verantwortlichkeiten und Organisation im Bereich IT-Governance und IT-Servicemanagement * Softwareeinsatz für die IT-Governance und Softwarelizenzmanagement // /Bereich Strategisches Informationsmanagement in Verwaltung, Organisationen des Gesundheitswesens und Nonprofit-Organisationen / * Struktur, Elemente und generische Bausteine von IT-Strategien * Vorgehensweisen für die Entwicklung von IT-Strategien * E-Health- und E-Government-Strategien: Ausprägungen, Inhalte, Erfolgsfaktoren und Probleme bei deren Umsetzung * Ausprägungen von Teilstrategien zu IT-Strategien * Abgrenzungen von E-Government- und E-Health-Strategien gegenüber IT-Strategien * Ausprägungen und Implementierungen des Unternehmensarchitekturmanagements * Portfoliomanagement, Strategisches IT-Controlling und IT-Bebauungsplanung * Erfahrungen zum Einsatz von Rahmenwerken zur Unterstützung des Unternehmensarchitekturmanagements * Darstellung von Zusammenhängen zwischen IT-Governance, IT-Servicemanagement sowie Unternehmensarchitekturmanagement *Programmkomitees*** ** *Teilworkshop 1 (angefragt)* Prof. Dr. Alexander Benlian, TU Darmstadt Prof. Dr. Carsten Felden, TU Bergakademie Freiberg Prof. Dr. Horst Hellbrück, Fachhochschule Lübeck Prof. Dr. Volker Herwig, Fachhochschule Erfurt Dr. Christian Janiesch, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Dr. Wolfgang Johannsen, it's okay Ltd. & Co.
