-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] LESS2013 CFP Datum: Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:33:38 +0000 Von: Kieran Conboy <kieran.conboy(a)nuigalway.ie> An: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> LESS 2013 - Lean Enterprise Software and Systems Conference Galway, Ireland 1st - 4th December, 2013 www.less2013.org CALL FOR PAPERS The 4th International Conference on Lean Enterprise Software and Systems (LESS2013) will be hosted by the National University of Ireland Galway on the west coast of Ireland. The conference brings together both industrial practitioners and researchers in the fields of information systems and software engineering, and focuses specifically on theory, practical applications and implications of agile and lean development methods. LESS joins three strong communities to form a platform for innovative ideas and future developments. We foster the interaction between the lean product development community and the agile community, coupled with innovative ideas nurtured by the Beyond Budgeting School of thinking. The LESS 2013 conference will have five key tracks: (i) Enterprise Transformation: This track examines a broad range of emerging issues concerning transformation of how business is conducted in order to help cope with shifts in environments. (ii) Lean Startups: Lean Startup is an approach for launching businesses and products that relies on validated learning, scientific experimentation, and iterative product releases to shorten product development cycles, measure progress, and gain valuable customer feedback. In this way, companies, especially startups, can design their products or services to meet the demands of their customer base without requiring large amounts of initial funding or expensive product launches (iii) Lean & Agile Project & Portfolio Management: This track examines emerging issues in the area of agile and lean methods. Papers are also welcome on the application of these methods in project portfolios. (iv) Scaling Software: Software is increasingly scaling in importance in companies in different industry sectors who would not have traditionally seen themselves as primarily software companies. As a consequence, software development environments need to scale in various dimensions, e.g., Processes and Methods; Products, Systems and Services; Organization and Business Domains. (v) Beyond Budgeting: Because the world changes constantly, companies, not just projects, must adapt to the new conditions as innovation comes in many forms. Beyond Budgeting started as a learning journey for management communities in Europe and is now a major active movement seeking a different approach to the management of organisations. You are invited to submit original papers addressing contemporary issues emerging in the specific or intersections among the proposed areas. Papers for sessions that fit any of these tracks are welcome, and we are constantly looking for new ideas to promote and review in the community. Novelty and applicability are important factors in the choice of sessions for the conference. LESS is a conference at the intersection of different ideas and trends. Topics include but are not limited to: - Agile/Lean software development - Complexity Thinking, Complexity Science and Complex Adaptive Systems in the context of Agile and Lean - Case studies of agile-lean - Lean principles and values - Kanban cases - Lean education - Agile enterprise - Beyond Budgeting studies - Control in agile/lean environments - Scaling agile/lean development - Combining or streamlining business processes and agile/lean development We encourage a range of submissions including: Full research papers. Research papers are limited to 15 pages. Accepted completed research papers will be presented at LESS2013 and published in the LESS2013 proceedings. Research-in-progress submissions are papers developed from promising but incomplete research projects that will benefit from feedback of other LESS participants. Research-in-progress papers are limited to 8 pages in length. Accepted research in progress papers will be presented as posters at LESS2013 and published in the LESS2013 proceedings. Experience reports and demonstrations with a focus on presentations and interactive sessions, experience report presentations or hands-on engineering sessions.

Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) can be expected to play a significant part in several applications. This area is emerging as a critical and challenging area of research and innovation. It introduces, among others, the need for new or adapted modeling approaches for compliance requirements, extension of process and service modeling and execution frameworks for compliance and risk management, and detection of policy violations. In addition, it introduces questions relating specifically to the use of technology to support compliance management. For example, how auditors and regulators can put into use techniques like continuous monitoring and data analysis to assess whether an organization complies wi th relev ant rules and regulations, or how technology can be used to support assessment of design and operational effectiveness of controls. This workshop will provide, for the fifth year running, a forum for researchers from diverse areas and make a consolidated contribution in the form of new and extended methods that address the challenges of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. Industry papers are also encouraged at this workshop. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics covered by the workshop will include at least the following: *Policy definition and enforcement *Smart auditing & technologies for compliance assurance *Compliant service and process design *Compliance and Risk Aware Business Process Management *Non-compliant process identification *ICT-enabled risk management *Visualization and simulation of risk in process models *Governance processes *Integration and effectuation of multiple regulatory standards *Compliance, risk and tolerance metrics *Organizational structures to support compliance *Requirements engineering for compliant information systems *Implementations of compliance technologies *Separation of duties/Separation of rights *Decision tracing *Data provenance and lineage *Work tracking *Violation detection *Applications of RuleML, SBVR, and other rule modeling approaches *Risk management and governance in software projects *Conformance to process reference models *Applications, case studies and use cases Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Accepted papers will be published in online CEUR proceedings. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution, and relation to previous research. Position, survey and industry papers are also welcome. SUBMISSION DETAILS Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair submission system found at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=grcis2013. Please see the workshop website (http://www.grcis.com) for submission guidelines.

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.phpand 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: 14th 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 <mailto:sr3060@columbia.edu> * ** *Organizing committee:* ·Ali Babar, University of Copenhagen, Denmark ·Dov Teeni, Tel-Aviv University, Israel ·Orit Hazzan, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Israel ·Eitan Farchi, IBM, Israel ·Lior Lemonad, IBM, Israel ·Nava Pliskin, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel ·Gilad Ravid, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel ·Roy Gelbard, Bar-Ilan University, Israel ·Stefan Biffl, Vienna University of Technology, Austria ·Meliha Handzic, International Burch University, Bosnia and Herzegovina ·Aybuke Aurum, Australian School of Business & The University of New South Wales, Australia ·Yair Levy, Nova Southeastern University <http://www.nova.edu/>, USA ·Aurelie Dudezert, Ecole Centrale Paris, France ·Itzhak Aviv, University of Haifa, Israel

Prepare your manuscript as a PDF file and submit it to the workshop organizers via the EasyChair system. We accept three types of submissions: Regular Research Papers, Experience Papers and Demo/Poster Papers. Regular Research Papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of secure information systems engineering. A regular research paper should describe the context of the work, the problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the benefits of the contribution. The length of regular research papers should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices.). Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. Experience papers present application of work to case studies and industrial practice. Such papers should provide a detail description of the application setting, describe lessons learned, and discuss best practice. Experience papers should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices.). Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. Demo/Poster papers should briefly discuss academic and/or industrial efforts on software tools and systems for secure information systems engineering. Demo/Poster papers should not exceed 1 page and they should provide a brief description of the research and software/system to be demonstrated. Poster papers are also ideal to explain a new idea and get feedback from the community. It is expected that accepted papers will be presented in the form of a live demonstration or a poster. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format and the above page limitations or being obviously out of the scope of the workshop will be rejected without review. Registration For each accepted submission, at least one author is expected to register for the workshop and attend the workshop in order to present the paper. Registration is through the CAiSE'13 web site. Workshop Structure The workshop will combine paper presentations, poster/demonstration session, and a keynote. Moreover, accepted papers apart from presentation time, will be assigned with one or two discussants with responsibility to initiate the discussion on the paper. We are confident that such structure will support a workshop environment that will be based on discussion, debate and will therefore provide an important contribution to the relevant research community.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP SISAP 2013 Datum: Fri, 8 Mar 2013 13:18:39 +0100 Von: Pavel Zezula <zezula(a)fi.muni.cz> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ========================= SISAP 2013 - CALL FOR PAPERS ========================= We apologize if you receive duplicates of this CFP. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. SISAP 2013: 6th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications October 2-4, 2013 A Coruna, Spain Web site: http://www.sisap.org/2013 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sisap2013 Twitter: http://twitter.com/sisap2013, Scope The International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications (SISAP) is an annual forum for researchers and application developers in the area of similarity data management. It aims at the technological problems shared by numerous application domains, such as data mining, information retrieval, computer vision, pattern recognition, computational biology, geography, biometrics, machine learning, and many others that need similarity searching as a necessary supporting service. The SISAP initiative (www.sisap.org) aims to become a forum to exchange real-world, challenging and innovative examples of applications, new indexing techniques, common test-beds and benchmarks, source code and up-to-date literature through its web page, serving the similarity search community. Traditionally, SISAP puts emphasis on the distance-based searching, but in general the conference concerns both the effectiveness and efficiency aspects of any similarity search problem. The series started in 2008 as a workshop and has developed over the years into an international conference with Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings. As in previous editions, a small selection of the best papers presented at the conference will be recommended for inclusion in a special issue of Information Systems. In October 2013, SISAP will take place in A Coruna, Spain. Keynote Speakers Ricardo Baeza-Yates (VP of Yahoo! Research for Europe, Middle East and Latin America) Jiri Matas (Center for Machine Perception, Czech Technical University) Topics of interest The specific topics include, but are not limited to: Similarity queries - k-NN, range, reverse NN, top-k, etc. Similarity operations - joins, ranking, classification, categorization, filtering, etc. Evaluation techniques for similarity queries and operations Merging/combining multiple similarity modalities Cost models and analysis for similarity data processing Scalability issues and high-performance similarity data management Feature extraction for similarity-based data findability Test collections and benchmarks Performance studies, benchmarks, and comparisons Similarity Search over outsourced data repositories Similarity search cloud services Languages for similarity databases New modes of similarity for complex data understanding Applications of similarity-based operations Image, video, voice, and music (multimedia) retrieval systems Similarity for forensics and security Important Dates Abstract submission: May, 3rd, 2013 Paper submission: May, 10th, 2013 Notification: June, 21st, 2013 Final version: July, 10th, 2013 Conference: October 2-4, 2013 Submission guidelines Papers submitted to SISAP 2013 must be written in English and formatted according to the LNCS guidelines. Full papers can be up to 12 pages, while short papers, case-studies/applications, and demos can be up to 6 pages (read below for types of contribution). By submitting a paper, its authors commit to have the paper presented at the conference by at least one of them if the paper is accepted. Contributions Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers on their research in the area of similarity search and applications. Papers should present original research contributions which bring out the importance of algorithms to applications. SISAP submissions can be of three kinds: Research papers (full and short): SISAP accepts both full (12 pages) and short papers (6 pages). The full papers are expected to be descriptions of complete technical work, while the short papers will describe interesting, innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature - vision papers should also be submitted as short papers. All papers, regardless of size, will be given an entry in the conference proceedings. Case-studies and applications: Submissions describe applications of existing similarity search technologies to interesting problems, including a description of the encountered challenges, how they were overcome, and the lessons learned. All papers on this track will be given an entry in the conference proceedings and a presentation slot, though the presentation slot duration may be shorter than for full research papers. Demonstration papers: Submissions should provide the motivation for the demonstrated concepts, the information about the technology and the system to be demonstrated (including a system description, functionality and figures when applicable), and should state the significance of the contribution. Evaluation criteria for the demonstration proposals include: the novelty, the technical advances and challenges, and the overall practical attractiveness of the demonstrated system.
