-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: Book: Demand-Driven Web Services: Theory, Technologies and Applications Datum: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:09:50 +1100 Von: Zhaohao Sun <zhaohao.sun(a)gmail.com> An: 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.

The general topic of the workshop is the social and personal computing for web-supported learning communities, focusing on emergent technologies for applied computing in education. Web-based learning is moving from centralized, institution-based systems to a decentralized and informal creation and sharing of knowledge. Social software (e.g., blogs, wikis, social bookmarking systems, media sharing services) is increasingly being used for e-learning purposes, helping to create novel learning experiences and knowledge. In the world of pervasive Internet, learners are also evolving: the so-called "digital natives" want to be in constant communication with their peers, they expect an individualized instruction and a personalized learning environment, which automatically adapt to their individual needs. This workshop deals with current research on collaboration and personalization issues in Web-supported learning communities. Its aim is to provide a forum for discussing new trends and initiatives in this area, including research about the planning, development, application, and evaluation of intelligent e-learning systems, where people can learn together in a personalized way through social interaction with other learners. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The workshop welcomes submissions covering aspects of collaboration, social interactions, adaptivity and personalization in technology enhanced learning, particularly related to issues about: * Social learning environments * Theory and modeling of social computing in education * Web 2.0 tools for collaborative learning * Personal learning environments * Lifelong learning networks * Virtual spaces for learning communities * Social networks analysis and mining * Computer-supported collaborative learning * Personalized and adaptive learning * Adaptation methods and techniques for groups of learners * Intelligent learner and group modeling * Learning analytics * Collaborative filtering and recommendations for learners * Game-based social learning * Metadata, folksonomies and tagging * Mobile e-learning applications * Cloud-based learning * Intelligent agent technology in web-based education * Semantic web and ontologies for e-learning * E-learning platforms and tools * Cognitive, motivational and affective aspects * Practice and experience sharing PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================== The workshop papers should be formatted according to the IEEE Conference Submission Standards (http://css.paperplaza.net/conferences/support/support.php).

CONTENTS OF THIS ISSUE OF JGITM (VOL. 16, NO.2, April 2013) THE WORLD IT PROJECT: A PROGRAM ON INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Prashant Palvia, Editor in Chief, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, pcpalvia(a)uncg.edu <mailto:pcpalvia@uncg.edu> Much of the research in information systems and information technology (IS/IT) has been dominated by a U.S-centric or a Western-centric view. This editorial describes the ?World IT Project? which will investigate important world issues. A good understanding of the critical IT issues facing firms and their employees and their surrounding context will be important from the firm, national, and international points of view. The overall research framework is presented. Since this is a massive project involving data collection from over 40 countries and will take a number of years to complete, opportunities exist for international researchers to collaborate. There are many rewards to country investigators in joining the project. STRATEGIC PURPOSE OF SOFTWARE PATENTS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF GERMAN ORGANIZATIONS Andrew Setterstrom, Northern Illinois University, USA, asetterstrom(a)niu.edu <mailto:asetterstrom@niu.edu> Peter Mykytyn, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA, mykytyn(a)business.siuc.edu <mailto:mykytyn@business.siuc.edu> Kathleen Mykytyn, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA, kmykytyn(a)business.siuc.edu <mailto:kmykytyn@business.siuc.edu> Kai Reimers, RWTH Aachen University, Germany, reimers(a)wi.rwth-aachen.de <mailto:reimers@wi.rwth-aachen.de> Given the global environment, the question of why organizations from one country seek patent protection from another country is of concern to both organizations and researchers. To better understand the strategic rationale motivating non-US firms to seek software patents in the US, an exploratory multi-case study involving three German firms was conducted. Results suggest that, at a minimum, obtaining US software patents is a strategic necessity. Firms were also found to use software patents for protection against infringing activities and for strengthening competitive advantage. Possible explanations are provided using the Miles and Snow?s strategy topology. Recommendations for future research and integration with existing theories are also presented. TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS INCUBATORS IN CHINA AND INDIA: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Mingfeng Tang, Southwestern of Finance and Economics University, China, tang(a)swufe.edu.cn <mailto:tang@swufe.edu.cn> Angathevar Baskaran, Middlesex University Business School, UK, a.t.baskaran(a)mdx.ac.uk <mailto:a.t.baskaran@mdx.ac.uk>; Jatin Pancholi, Middlesex University Business School, UK, j.pancholi(a)mdx.ac.uk <mailto:j.pancholi@mdx.ac.uk> Yong Lu, The Pennsylvania State University, yul14(a)psu.edu <mailto:yul14@psu.edu> Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) in China and India are compared by employing an analytical framework that combines the national system of innovation concept and a modified TBI integrative framework. Two research questions are investigated: What are the management polices & practices of, and incubation services offered by the TBIs in China and India?, and How successful are the TBI?s in China and India? Findings reveal that there are a number of similarities (including objectives, selection criteria for tenants, funding of new ventures, and basic services provided) and differences (including ownership/ legal status, structure and governance, funding, value-added and specialists services, incubation period, number of TBIs, tenants, employees, and revenues) between China and India. Both systems evolved due to specific national context, which led to most of these differences THE IMPACT OF ICT INVESTMENTS ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: A REGRESSION SPLINES ANALYSIS Felix Olu Bankole, University of the Western Cape, South Africa, fbankole(a)uwc.ac.za <mailto:fbankole@uwc.ac.za> Kweku-Muata Osei-Bryson, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA, kmosei(a)vcu.edu <mailto:kmosei@vcu.edu> Irwin Brown, University of Cape Town, South Africa, irwin.brown(a)uct.ac.za <mailto:irwin.brown@uct.ac.za> The purpose of this study is to explore the conditional impacts of ICT investments (Hardware, Software, Internal Services Spending and Telecommunication) on two dimensions of Human Development (Standard of Living and Health) within three contexts (classified as High, Medium and Low income countries. The study utilized a novel approach called regression splines to analyse the data. Results suggest, among other things, that: (1) the impact of investments in the different ICT components varies with context; (2) impacts are in many cases conditional and complex; and (3) the direction of impacts of ICT investment on Standard of Living may be different from the corresponding directions of impacts on Health. It is therefore necessary for policy makers and IS executives to do in-depth tradeoff analysis between the different components of ICT investment to determine appropriate allocations. THE EXPERT OPINION: AN INTERVIEW WITH GREG KNOTT, VICE PRESIDENT AND DIVISION CIO OF GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS, RYDER SYSTEM, INC. Conducted by Paul S. Licker, Oakland University, licker(a)oakland.edu <mailto:licker@oakland.edu> Greg Knott is VP & Division CIO of Global Supply Chain Solutions at Ryder System, Inc., responsible for all Information Technology solutions provided by Ryder to help companies optimize their supply chain operations. This interview covers such topics as the role of IT in the transportation industry, strategic IT initiatives, internationalization, global IT architecture, the role of IT in internationalization, managerial and technical challenges, privacy and transborder issues, and cultural factors. BOOK REVIEW: THE USE OF SMART MOBILE EQUIPMENT FOR THE INNOVATION IN ORGANIZATIONAL COORDINATION, BY NAM JAE CHO Reviewed by Roberto Vinaja, Texas A&M University?San Antonio, USA, bvinaja(a)tamusa.tamus.edu <mailto:bvinaja@tamusa.tamus.edu> The proliferation WANs, smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices has catalyzed the benefits of mobile systems. Professor Cho provides an Asian perspective on this burgeoning phenomenon. The study described in the book provides empirical evidence and triangulation by combining case study and survey methodologies. The case is about SMRT (Seoul Metropolitan Railway Transit, one of the largest transportation organizations). SMRT manages 30,000 facilities and serves 3.4 million passengers each day. The IT environment is experiencing a convergence of technologies that were previously independent, such as telecommunications, computing, and broadcasting. This book examines the relationship between the convergence of IT and coordination within an organization. ******************************************** For copies of the above articles, please check for the Journal of Global Information Technology Management (JGITM) in your institution's library. ******************************************** MISSION: The mission of the Journal of Global Information Technology Management (JGITM) is to continue to be the premier journal on Global Information Technology Management.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 17th UKSS International Conference 2013 Datum: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:29:17 +0000 Von: Christine Welch <christine.welch(a)port.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers 17^th UK Systems Society International Conference, St Anne?s College, Oxford, UK; September 9-11 2013 The theme of this year?s conference is ?Systems and Society: ideas from practice?. Living In the 21st century, it is difficult for anyone to be unaware of the interconnectedness of ?things?. To take just one example widely covered in the Press, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 had far reaching consequences, causing extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats, to the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries, and hence to the livelihoods of many people in the USA and Mexico. The subsequent White House commission reported that /"The root causes are systemic and, absent significant reform in both industry practices and government policies, might well recur" /(The Telegraph, 5 January 2011)/./ This shows that there is a great need for effective Systems thinking, and that it is vital for industry, government, academics and practitioners to engage with one another. Society, which transcends any national boundaries, requires appropriate tools for systemic inquiry, together with both a spirit of collaboration and the political will for change. Systems tools, techniques and methodologies can only be helpful in addressing real world problems if there is opportunity for feedback from companies and government agencies on their use, usefulness and usability in practical contexts. There is a continuing need for Systems research to take existing ideas forward and build on them so that they remain relevant to the kinds of problems faced by new generations. Contributions are invited from all sections of the Systems community, whether concerned with Information Systems, management systems, environmental systems or development and application of theory in Systems or cybernetics. These could be accounts of the kinds of problems faced by organizations for which Systems tools are required; presentations of feedback on use of systemic approaches to tackle such problems; suggested new approaches or adaptations to those we already know; or developments in Systems theory to inform our thinking for the future. Abstracts and proposals, or full papers are invited by May 31 2013 For further details, visit http://www.ukss.org.uk or email conference2013(a)ukss.org.uk <mailto:conference2013@ukss.org.uk> -- Dr Christine Welch Programme Chair UKSS Conference 2013

Konferenz Mobile und Ubiquitäre Informationssysteme (MMS 2013) Datum: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:11:24 +0100 (CET) Von: Markus Bick <mbick(a)escpeurope.eu> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de >> Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen - DANKE! << ***************************************************************************** 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS 8. Konferenz Mobile und Ubiquitäre Informationssysteme (MMS 2013) http://fg-mms.gi.de/ Berlin, 10.06.2013 gemeinsam mit der 12. International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB 2013) ***************************************************************************** >>Annahmeschluss von Beiträgen: 05.04.2013<< ============================================ Thematik ======== Die Nutzung mobiler Geräte für den Zugang zu Informationen, Unterhaltung und sozialen Netzen zu jeder Zeit und an jedem Ort ist selbstverständlicher Teil des Alltags geworden. Gleichzeitig werden immer mehr Bereiche des täglichen Lebens sensorisch erfasst und erlauben die Entwicklung von sensitiven Umgebungen – vom Smart Home, über das Smart Building, bis zur Smart City. Drahtlose Netze von LTE bis ZigBee ermöglichen es, dass mobile persönliche Geräte und stationäre Infrastruktursysteme im Verbund arbeiten und ihren Nutzern gemeinsam situationsangepasste Unterstützung anbieten. Die dynamische Vernetzung und Koordination solcher Systeme stellt neue Herausforderungen an den Entwurf und Betrieb von Middlewarekonzepten. Zudem erfordert der verantwortungsvolle Umgang mit Sensordaten geeignete Maßnahmen zur Sicherung der Privatsphäre. Gleichzeitig bieten diese Datenneue Einsatzfelder für das Data Mining und für die statistische Analyse mobiler Nutzerdaten zum besseren Verständnis von Nutzungssituationen und Nutzerbedürfnissen. Thema der 8. MMS ist die Diskussion von Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze für die Realisierung von Systemen und Anwendungen, die auf eine Umsetzung dieser Vision einer vernetzten, situationsgesteuerten und persönlichen Alltagsunterstützung abzielen. „Die Demografische Chance“ ist das Motto des Wissenschaftsjahrs 2013.Anwendungsfelder wie Ambient Assisted Living und M-Health belegen eindrucksvoll die Relevanz von allgegenwärtiger und mobiler Informationstechnik für die Beantwortung der Fragen, die der demografische Wandel aufwirft. Die 8. MMS ist damit auch ein Beitrag zur Thematik des Wissenschaftsjahres 2013. Dem interdisziplinären Ansatz der GI-Fachgruppe MMS folgend, stehen dabei gleichermaßen technische wie wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen und die Analyse und Gestaltung von Informationssystemen als Mensch-Aufgabe-Technik-Systeme im Mittelpunkt. Die MMS 2013 findet gemeinsam mit der 12th International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB 2013) in Berlin statt und bietet dadurch ihren Teilnehmern eine ausgezeichnete Möglichkeit für einen umfassenden Überblick über aktuelle technische und wirtschaftliche Aspekte mobiler Informationssysteme. Beiträge werden unter anderem in folgenden Themenfeldern erbeten: - Neuartige Anwendungsmodelle vernetzter mobiler Systeme für die Unterstützung von Alltagsaktivitäten in Beruf und Privatleben - Ansätze für situationsgesteuerte und ubiquitäre Lösungen; z.B. Modelle von Benutzerverhalten, Kontextmodelle, Inferenz von Aktivität, Vorhersage von Aktivitäten - Identitätsmanagement für mobile Anwendungen - Datenschutz und Datensicherheit bei mobilen Anwendungen und Technologien - Potenzial und Auswirkungen von Mobilität, mobilen und ubiquitären Technologien für Einzelne, Gruppen, Geschäftsprozesse, Firmen, den Markt und die Gesellschaft als Ganzes - System- und Interaktionsdesign für M-Health und Assisted-Living - Unterstützung für den Entwicklungsprozess mobiler und ubiquitärer Anwendungen - Basistechnologien, Infrastrukturen und Plattformen für mobile und ubiquitäre Systeme - Komponenten mobiler Anwendungen und ubiquitärer Systeme wie Benutzerschnittstellen, Betriebssysteme, Middleware, Datenbanken - Wirtschaftlichkeit mobiler Systeme und ihr Beitrag zur Wertschöpfung einschließlich Geschäftsmodellen, Wertschöpfungsnetzen und der Entwicklung von Märkten - ... Erfahrungsberichte und Überblickspapiere sind dabei ebenso von Interesse wie Beschreibungen von Prototypen- und Architekturentwicklungen, die Entwicklung und Evaluierung von Theorien und Modellen, fundierte Literaturanalysen, experimentelle Ergebnisse und Evaluierungen.

Petri nets are becoming increasingly popular in this area, as they provide a uniform language supporting the tasks of modelling, validation, and verification. Their popularity is due to the fact that Petri nets capture fundamental aspects of causality, concurrency and choice in a natural and mathematically precise way without compromising readability. The workshop PNSE'13 (Petri nets and Software Engineering) will take place as a satellite event of Petri Nets 2013. The use of Petri nets (P/T-nets, coloured Petri nets and extensions) in the formal process of software engineering, covering modelling, validation, and verification, will be presented as well as their application and tools supporting the disciplines mentioned above. __________________________________________________________________ Topics We welcome contributions describing original research in topics related to Petri nets in combination with software engineering, addressing open problems or presenting new ideas regarding the relation of Petri nets and software engineering. Furthermore we look for surveys addressing open problems and new applications of Petri nets. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Modelling * representation of formal models by intuitive modelling concepts * guidelines for the construction of system models * representative examples * process-, service-, state-, event-, object- and agent-oriented approaches * adaption, integration, and enhancement of concepts from other disciplines * views and abstractions of systems * model-driven architecture * modelling software landscapes * web service-based software development Validation and Execution * prototyping * simulation, observation, animation * code generation and execution * testing and debugging * process mining * efficient implementation Verification * structural methods (e.g. place invariants, reduction rules) * results for structural subclasses of nets * relations between structure and behaviour * state space based approaches * efficient model checking * assertional and deductive methods (e.g. temporal logics) * process algebraic methods * applications of category theory and linear logic * general analysis for software engineering contexts Application of Petri nets in Software Engineering, in particular the use of Petri nets in the domains of * flexible manufacturing, * logistics, * telecommunication, * workflow management and * embedded systems. Tools in the fields mentioned above __________________________________________________________________ Submissions The programme committee invites submissions of full contributions (up to 20 pages) or short contributions (up to 5 pages). Ongoing work (up to 2 pages) can also be presented in a special poster session. Please note that for full contributions up to 15 pages are recommended. Papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF) using the Springer LNCS-format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions should include title, authors' addresses, E-mail addresses, keywords and an abstract. For your submission in PDF format please use the online conference management system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pnse13 Just login or create a new account and then upload your paper. (Later you will be able to see your reviews there.) The papers will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the PC. Accepted contributions will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will be published online at CEUR-WS.org as one volume. __________________________________________________________________ Some of the best papers from the workshop will be invited for publication in a volume of the journal sub line of Lecture Notes in Computer Science entitled "Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC). The papers are expected to be thoroughly revised and they will go through a totally new round of reviewing as is standard practice for journal papers. Papers from previous instances of this workshop (PNSE'07, PNDS'08, PNSE'09, PNSE'10, PNSE'11, and PNSE'12) made it into ToPNoC volumes in the Springer LNCS series (volumes 5100, 5460, 5800, 6550, 6900 and 7400). __________________________________________________________________ Chairs * Daniel Moldt (University of Hamburg, Germany) * Heiko Rölke (DIPF, Germany) -- Please use mailto:pnse13@informatik.uni-hamburg.de or http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/pnse13/ to contact us with respect to PNSE13 PNSE13 PC-Chairs: Daniel Moldt and Heiko Rölke *** Event: Petri Nets and Software Engineering, June 24/25, 2013 *** *** visit: http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/pnse13 *** please visit also: *** Event: Modeling and Business Environments, June 24/25, 2013 *** http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/modbe13 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
