Due to their complex requirements the design of WIS is not a trivial task. Design methodologies provide guidelines for the creation of WIS so that the complexity of this process becomes manageable. Based on the separation-of-concerns principle some of these methodologies propose models to specify different aspects of WIS design like data integration, navigation structure, user interface, user interaction, presentation personalization, etc. Recent advances in networking technologies enabled WIS access via different devices (e.g., PDA, Smart phone, PC, BlackBerry, etc.). In addition to this device heterogeneity there is also a heterogeneous audience (e.g., different backgrounds, different goals, etc.) that wants to access the same system. In order to improve the user experience, these systems often need to personalize the content and its presentation based on the current user needs (e.g., user’s browsing platform or user preferences). Another aspect that can influence the behaviour of a WIS is the context of use (e.g., the geographical position, the temporal information, the weather conditions, etc.). Systems that are able to exploit this kind of information will further improve the application usefulness for their users. Integrating such information is possibly made available by specialized services and the need to seamlessly integrate these services into a WIS is therefore an important part of WIS development research. As the Web data is very diverse, WIS are seeking efficient and flexible approaches to provide integrated views over heterogeneous data sources. These data sources are usually autonomous (maintained by different organizations), overlapping, frequently changing, and distributed. All these characteristics make the data integration on the Web a very challenging research topic. The increased use of rich-clients applications (e.g., AJAX, OpenLaszlo, etc.) poses new demands to WIS design. The design of these applications needs to go beyond the server roundtrip paradigm by considering the new functionality added to clients, an intelligent data-push communication with the server, interactive-rich graphical interfaces, etc. Also, with the current emergence of social Web applications (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc.) there is a need to properly model the highly dynamic aspects of these systems. In addition, WIS can tap into the data made available by these systems to provide for previously unforeseen functionalities. Making use of rich clients and allowing users to establish social networks are some of the features that need to be considered when developing Web 2.0 applications. Semantic Web (also known as Web 3.0) technologies (e.g., RDF(S), OWL, etc.) can help in the representation and processing of the different WIS design models aiming for an improved interoperability. One example of such a model is the user profile which is often described using a CC/PP vocabulary. Due to their focus on distribution over the Web, Semantic Web representation languages prove to be useful also for specifying the semantics of data and the semantics of interfaces in order to facilitate the integration of heterogeneous databases and Web services, respectively. The best practice recommendation of Linked Data allows Web applications to seamlessly publish, interconnect, and access information on the Semantic Web. The inference mechanisms of the Semantic Web (captured in the semantics of the representation language or in rule-based languages like RuleML and SWRL) can be used for deriving new information or building intelligent services on the Web. Over the last few years, Web services have offered new opportunities to deploy WIS. Web services are independent from specific platforms and computing paradigms, and have the capacity to form composed processes, referred to as composite Web services. Web services composition fulfils user requests that require the participation of several component Web services. Several composition languages are now available (e.g., BPEL, WSFL, etc.). Semantic descriptions of Web services are also proposed for automating composition (e.g., OWL-S, WSMO, WSDL-S, etc.). A research topic that is worth pursuing is the modeling of these composite Web services. Goal of the Workshop -------------------- The aim of the workshop is to provide a platform for bringing together researchers, practitioners, designers, and users of WIS and discuss how specific issues of Web Information Systems (WIS) design can be addressed by means of modeling. Specifically, we will discuss how the influence of Semantic Web technology can help in a model-driven WIS development. Thus, the workshop should enable a fruitful exchange of ideas in the state-of-the-art of WIS modeling. Topics of Interest ------------------ The workshop topics include but are not limited to: * Methodologies for WIS Design * WIS Architectures * WIS Adaptability * WIS Personalization * WIS Evolution * Semistructured Data in WIS * Data Models in WIS * Query Languages in WIS * Integration of WIS * Optimization Techniques for WIS * Security in WIS * Business Rules in WIS * Web Services in WIS * WIS Ubiquity * Social WIS * Rich Client WIS * Web Metadata in WIS * Ontologies in WIS * Linked Data in WIS * Semantic Web Information Systems Paper Submission ---------------- Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to one (or more) of the workshop topics. The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages. Papers should be formatted according to Springer LNCS style http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The organizers will oversee a peer-review process for the submitted papers. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers should be submitted to wism2013(a)ese.eur.nl in PDF format. Publication ----------- Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series as the official ER workshop proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Submissions: Process Model Matching Contest 2013 Datum: Tue, 28 May 2013 18:02:51 +0300 Von: Matthias Weidlich <weidlich(a)techunix.technion.ac.il> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Process Model Matching Contest 2013 at the 4th International Workshop on Process Model Collections: Management and Reuse (PMC-MR'13) Beijing, China, August 26, 2013 http://processcollections.org/matching-contest ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Business process models play an important role for managing business processes and are created, for instance, for requirements analysis, communication, automation and compliance. In essence, a process model defines a set of activities and dependencies for their execution. Process model matching refers to the creation of an alignment between process models, i.e., the creation of correspondences between their activities. In recent years, many techniques building on process model matching have been proposed. Examples include techniques for the validation of a technical implementation of a business process against a business-centered specification model, delta-analysis of process implementations and a reference model, harmonization of process variants, process model search, or clone detection. Inspired by the field of schema matching and ontology alignment, this demand led to the development of different techniques for process model matching. Yet, these techniques are heuristics and, thus, their results are inherently uncertain and need to be evaluated on a common basis. Currently, however, the BPM community lacks established datasets and frameworks for evaluation. This contest aims at addressing the need for effective evaluation. Towards this end, the contest defines process model matching problems, publishes datasets for these problems, and seeks implementations that solve them. The results of the contest will be summarized at the contest website, presented at the 4th International Workshop on Process Model Collections, and published in joint paper with successful participants as part of the workshop proceedings. ------------------- Matching Problems ------------------- The contest includes two sets of process model matching problems. * University Admission Processes, process models that represent the admission processes of nine German universities. * Birth Registration Processes, process models that represent birth registration processes in Germany, Russia, South Africa, and the Netherlands. The datasets and details on data formats can be found at the contest homepage: http://processcollections.org/matching-contest ------------------- Participation ------------------- In order to take part in the matching contest, participants are asked to solve the given matching problems with their self-developed matching technique. Further, to publish the results of the contest, there will be a joint paper with participants as part of the workshop proceedings. As input for the joint publication, all participants have to provide a description of their matching technique. This description must be no more than 2 pages long (excluding references, LNBIP formatting). In sum, participants are required to prepare the following material and submit it by email to the contest organizers till July 1. * For each pair of process models that should be matched (there are 2×36 pairs overall) a file with the automatically identified correspondences must be provided. * For the self-developed matching technique, a description following must be provided. Details on the data formats and a template for the description of the matching technique can also be found at the contest homepage. ------------------- Schedule ------------------- * Publication of datasets: May 15, 2013. * Submission deadline (results and description): July 1, 2013. * Workshop: August 26, 2013. ------------------- Organizers ------------------- * Henrik Leopold, Humboldt Universitaet zu Berlin, Germany * Matthias Weidlich, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Israel _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Model-Driven Development (MDD) is an approach to the development of IT systems in which models take a central role, not only for analysis of these systems but also for their construction. MDD has emerged from modelling initiatives, most prominently the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) fostered by the Object Management Group (OMG). In the scope of MDA, a couple of technologies have been developed that became the cornerstones of MDD, like metamodelling and model transformations. MDD relies on languages for defining metamodels, like the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and Ecore (developed in the scope of the Eclipse Modelling Framework), and transformation specification languages like QVT and ATL. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] BISE Special Issue on DECISION ANALYTICS Datum: Mon, 27 May 2013 17:22:01 +0200 Von: Martin Bichler <bichler(a)in.tum.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to a call for papers for the Business & Information Systems (BISE) special issue on "DECISION ANALYTICS?, which can be found below. BISE (the International Journal of WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK) has been a leading IS journal for more than 50 years, and it is an affiliated journal of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). We cordially invite original research contributions for this special issue until July 1, 2013. Kind regards, Martin Bichler Editor-in-Chief BISE http://www.bise-journal.com <http://www.bise-journal.com/> ****************************************************************************** 3/2014 Decision Analytics http://www.bise-journal.com/?p=568 Special Focus ---------- Nowadays information systems allow using large amounts of digital, structured data for decision making. The power and ability of hardware and software has been significantly increased. Related information and communication technology (ICT) provides a competitive advantage in various fields, such as supply chain management, logistics, marketing, telecommunications, just to name a few. It incorporates and links to information systems, planning tools for decision support as well as supporting devices. While modern ICT systems are vital components in decision making, their successful management rests on coordinated decision making using analytical methods. Simulation and optimization can be employed for, for example, pricing, procurement, distribution planning, and beyond. Efficient algorithms have been developed combining heuristics and meta-heuristics with exact methods. Besides these algorithms and available data, progress is observed in sophisticated analytics tools to harness the tremendous potential of the data to improve decision making. Intelligent devices can communicate with various partners allowing access to relevant data to assist in collecting information, share product information, negotiate prices, and distribute alerts throughout concerned networks. Decision analytics is the research and application area comprising theory, methodology, and practice to analyze and support important managerial decisions in a formal manner. The methods include models for optimization of one or more goals, decision-making under conditions of uncertainty, techniques of risk analysis and risk assessment, techniques for facilitating group decision making as well as software and expert systems for decision support. Special tools can be used for representing and formally assessing important aspects of decisions, so that they help decision-makers to leverage the knowledge hidden within organizational data. Methods and tools involve data mining, optimization, simulation modeling, pattern recognition, prescriptive methods, predictive modeling, and performance management. The special focus issue strives to explore the synergies between decision analytics and information systems. It serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners to disseminate high-quality original research as well as case-studies of real-world analytics tasks in a leading international journal. Topics of interest include but are not limited to business applications in the areas: ? Applied probability and stochastic processes ? Business intelligence and business analytics ? Business simulation ? Data mining and knowledge discovery ? Decision support systems ? Forecasting ? Fuzzy decision-making ? Group decision-making ? Heuristics, metaheuristics, and matheuristics ? Knowledge-based systems ? Multiple-criteria analysis ? Optimization systems and applications ? Risk analysis ? Robustness and sensitivity analysis ? Text analytics/Text mining ?

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for papers on ITSM]
by Gustaf Neumann 25 May '13

25 May '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers on ITSM] Datum: Fri, 24 May 2013 15:54:05 -0500 (CDT) Von: mmora(a)securenym.net An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IJITSA SPECIAL ISSUE IN: Engineering and Management of IT-based Service Systems: a Systems Approach http://www.igi-global.com/ijitsa Deadline is June 30, 2013 ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTEXT: The economic relevance of service systems (or service sector in general) in the modern worldwide economy is totally recognized. As Sheenan (2006) reports ?business organizations focused on delivering help, utility, experience, information or other intellectual content ? account for more than 70% of total value added in the OECD?. In this special issue, we pursue to advance our scientific knowledge on the processes, methodologies, techniques and tools for engineering and managing IT-based service systems under a Systems Approach. The service-oriented paradigm has permeated several disciplines (Chesbrough and Spohrer, 2006). IT-based service systems can be defined as ?? a value coproduction configuration of people, IT, other internal and external service systems, and shared information (such as language, processes, metrics, prices, policies, and laws.? (adapted from Spohrer et al., 2007). Accordingly, a service can be defined ?in general- as ?? the application of resources (including competences, skills, and knowledge) to make changes that have value for another (system)? (idem, 2007). Service paradigm has been identified as one of the relevant themes for IT in the last decade (Demirkan and Goul, 2006; Rai and Sambamurthy, 2006; Beachboard et al. 2007; Zhao et al. 2008). While models of processes for engineering and managing IT-based service systems (like ITILv2, ITIL v3, CMMI-SVC, CobIT, ITUP, MOF 4, ISO 20000) have been posed, their specific practices are still unclear and few used by most IT practitioners. We consider such a topic to be mandatory to foster a cost-effective and trustworthy engineering and management of IT-based service systems (Buede, 2000). Additionally, since IT-based service systems are also systems (Tien, 2008; Alter, 2008; Mora et al., 2009) their essential and shared attributes for general systems (Ackoff, 1971; Gelman and Garcia, 1989) should be considered. Based on aforementioned issues for systems, service systems, and IT-based systems, we believe that a Systems Approach (Ackoff et al., 1962; Checkland, 2000) and a Systems Engineering view (Sage, 2000; Buede, 2000) can be helpful for this aim. A Systems Approach can be defined as an answering and problem-solving system comprised of: (i) systemic philosophical paradigms (P?s: an ontological, epistemological and axiological stance on the world): (ii) systemic theoretical frameworks (F?s: ideas-constructs, theories, and models); (iii) systemic methodologies (M?s: methods,techniques, and instruments), and (iv) situational areas identified as systems (A?s: natural, artificial or social objects, artifacts and subjects under study). Similarly, a Systems Engineering discipline, can be briefly defined as ?the interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful (cost-efficient and trustworthy) systems?. References upon request. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: This special issue aims to increase our scientific theoretical and applied knowledge on the engineering and management of IT-based service systems from a Systems Approach view. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ?Systems Foundations of IT-based Service Systems ?Determination of the Role of Service Systems in Super-systems such as Economical, Environmental, Social and Political that is making it a Service System ?Definition of Sub-systems that are forming a Service System in order to assure the fulfillment of its Mission and Objectives ?The specificity of the organization and management of the service systems, which assure their productivity as well as their development ?Conceptual comparative studies of ITSM standards and models (ISO 20000, ITIL, CMMI-SVC, ITUP, MOF 4, CobIT) ?Empirical studies on implementations of ITSM standards and models (ISO 20000, ITIL, CMMI-SVC, ITUP, MOF 4, CobIT) ?Applied cases of implemented engineering practices for IT-based Service Systems ?Applied cases of implemented management practices for IT-based Service Systems ?Applied cases in real Data Centers ?Applied cases of adaptations of ITSM Processes for specific SMBs ?Application of IT-based Service Systems in Critical domains (health care, international security, international financial stock markets, green initiatives, gap e-education) ?Classification of IT-based Service Systems ?Value models for IT-based Service Systems (how can it be valued a priori (designs) and a posteriori (evaluations of real systems)) ?Innovative applications of IT-based Service Systems SUBMISSION DUE DATE: June 30, 2013 PUBLISHING DATE: July, 2014 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue Engineering and Management of IT-based Service Systems: a Systems Approach on or before June 30, 2013 to Dr. Manuel Mora (ijitsa(a)gmail.com).
