-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Patterns: 4th Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (WOP2013) Datum: Sun, 19 May 2013 17:41:17 +0200 Von: Ansgar Scherp <mail(a)ansgarscherp.net> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de === Apologies for multiple postings === ***************************************************** Call for Patterns 4th Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (WOP2013) http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2013 October 21st or 22nd, 2013 Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour, Australia ***************************************************** Submission deadline - July 12th, 2013 (11:59pm Hawaii time) ***************************************************** This workshop provides an arena for proposing and discussing good and bad practices, patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems, etc. The aim is to broaden the pattern community that will develop its own “language” for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions. The workshop will be held in conjunction with ISWC 2013 and will be a half-day event. We invite the submission of research results in the form of ontology design patterns (ODPs). Patterns submitted should have a general relevance to the ontology engineering field, or specific interest within a knowledge domain. Patterns should solve some particular modeling problem, and be of significant interest for discussion at the workshop. Patterns should be original, in the sense that they are the intellectual product of the author(s), however they may still be based on the collective experience of a community. ---- Pattern Topics ----- Ontology design pattern (ODP) submissions will be collected * by submitting a description of the pattern (pattern description) via https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wop2013 (select "WOP2013 Patterns Track”) * through the ODP portal [1]: templates for submission [2] are provided for the following types of patterns (see general typology [3] for explanation of the types): ** Content patterns ** Structural patterns: logical and architecture patterns. ** Correspondence patterns: re-engineering and alignment patterns. For other types of patterns, the author is welcome to submit only a pattern description. Detailed instructions for patterns submission, including how to submit via the ontologydesignpatterns.org portal, are found at the submission page [4]. Note that an account in the ODP portal is needed for submitting patterns; thus, authors should take care to request an account at least one week before their intended submission. ---- Process ----- Patterns are submitted through the ODP portal [1,2], and reviewed by at least two members of the ODP portal quality committee. Accepted patterns are to be improved based on the review comments, i.e. an update of the patterns in the ODP portal is mandatory. Accepted patterns are then presented as posters at the workshop, in a joint poster session with poster and demo papers. After the workshop, the patterns may be considered for certification in the ODP portal. ---- Best Pattern Award ---- Reviewers and workshop participants will together distinguish the best pattern submission, final decision to be made by the chairs. The best pattern award takes into account criteria such as the quality of the submission, the relevance and significance of the pattern, the presentation of the pattern, and the level of involvement of the author during the revision phase and poster session discussions during the workshop. ---- Important dates (2013, 11:59 Hawaii time) ---- * Submission deadline (research papers and patterns) - July 12th * Notification of acceptance (research papers and patterns) - August 9th * Camera ready deadline (research papers and pattern abstracts) - August 31st * Workshop date - October 21st or 22nd ---- WOP2013 Chairs ---- Papers – Valentina Presutti, STLab ISTC-CNR (IT), Michael Gruninger, University of Toronto (CA) Patterns - Ansgar Scherp, University of Mannheim (DE), Laurent Lefort, CSIRO (Australia), ICT Centre in Canberra Steering Committee Eva Blomqvist, STLab ISTC-CNR (IT) Aldo Gangemi, LIPN Paris Sorbonne Citè/Paris 13 (FR) Natasha Noy, Stanford University (US) Valentina Presutti, STLab ISTC-CNR (IT) Alan Rector, University of Manchester (UK) Francois Scharffe, INRIA (FR) Steffen Staab, University of Koblenz(DE) Chris Welty, IBM Research (US) [1] http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/ [2] http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Submissions:SubmitAPattern [3] http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/OPTypes [4] http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2013/Submission -- Jun.-Prof. Dr. habil.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: SIMULTECH 2013 - Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers Datum: Thu, 16 May 2013 12:25:01 -0500 Von: SIMULTECH Secretariat <postmaster13(a)303media.net> Antwort an: simultech.secretariat(a)insticc.org <simultech.secretariat(a)insticc.org> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Dear Gustaf Neumann, The 3rd International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications - SIMULTECH 2013 (http://www.simultech.org) would like to promote a forum where PhD students who have already started their research can present their PhD projects and discuss their research questions and research methodologies with an advisory board composed by some of the most eminent researchers present at the venue of the conference. This will, hopefully, be very helpful for the future path of the PhD students whose work is selected to be presented and discussed at this academic forum and furthermore it will be an opportunity for them to create additional connections with specialists in their field. The paper that a PhD student can submit until June 3rd needs to be written in a specific format, appropriate for facilitating the aforementioned discussion therefore it is expected to be a much simpler paper and definitely not a regular paper. There will be a review and selection process, though, and the accepted papers will be included in the CD-ROM that also includes the proceedings of the conference and the papers of the Doctoral Consortium presented at the venue will also be included in the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. However, they will not be included in the book of proceedings as archival publications therefore they will remain free of copyright and the registration will be a "student registration", i.e. at a 50% discount regarding regular registrations. Should you have any question or suggestions please don't hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Marina Carvalho SIMULTECH Secretariat Av.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Journal of Organizational and End User Computing - Volume 25 Issue 2 Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 08:22:43 +0800 From: Tanya McGill <T.Mcgill(a)murdoch.edu.au> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The contents of the latest issue of: *Journal of Organizational and End User Computing (JOEUC)* Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 25 Issue 2, April - June 2013 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1546-2234 EISSN: 1546-5012 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/joeuc <http://www.igi-global.com/joeuc> Editor-in-Chief: Tanya McGill <http://www.igi-global.com/affiliate/tanya-mcgill/500/>(Murdoch University, Australia) *PAPER ONE* *Virtual Team Effectiveness: Investigating the Moderating Role of Experience with Computer-Mediated Communication on the Impact of Team Cohesion and Openness* ** *John R. Carlson (Department of Information Systems, Baylor University, Waco, TX, USA), Dawn S. Carlson (Department of Management, Baylor University, Waco, TX, USA), Emily M. Hunter (Department of Management, Baylor University, Waco, TX, USA), Randal L. Vaughn (Department of Information Systems, Baylor University, Waco, TX, USA) and Joey F. George (SCIS Department, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA)* The work of virtual teams is increasingly important to today's organizations, work that is accomplished predominantly via computer-mediated communication. The authors investigate the moderating role of experience with instant messaging on the team interpersonal processes (cohesion and openness) to team effectiveness relationship in virtual teams. Data were obtained from 365 virtual team members using survey methodology and analyzed using hierarchical moderated regression and multilevel analyses. They found that team cohesion has a main effect on team effectiveness. Team openness has a main effect and is moderated by experience with instant messaging, i.e., strengthens the relationship. Understanding the role of team interpersonal processes and the role of the communication media will allow managers to more effectively build virtual teams and provide effective training and support. Using the theoretical lens of channel expansion theory the authors expand theoretical, empirical and practical knowledge of this area.

The proposed model examines different types of switching predictors such as push and pull factors, intervening obstacles, and individual differences, as well as interdependencies between these factors as moderating effects. Empirical data from a longitudinal field survey of users' switching from traditional hard copy books to eBooks validates most of the hypothesized associations. This study alerts publishers, academics, and educational institutions to the challenges and opportunities of artifact switching in general and suggests strategies that can help these stakeholders enable artifact switching within their target populations.

It is less recognized in the literature that users have multiple goals that influence a user's perception regarding the information system's utilitarian value. This paper extends this body of knowledge by incorporating different types of goals into a theoretical framework. Building on means-end chain theory, two goal characteristics are identified, goal abstraction and goal linkage dependency, that both exert an influence on the utilitarian value of an information system. Findings from a qualitative and a quantitative study indicate that perceived utilitarian value changes as goal abstraction increases, and that goal linkage dependency influences the similarity of perceived utilitarian values across goals. Implications are important because they provide insight into potentially contradicting user evaluations of information systems.

Effective training for the required knowledge and skills is both difficult and challenging. Focusing on the assessment of ERP learning, this research develops learning constructs based on Kang and Santhanam's (2003-4) collaborative application learning model. A valid and reliable ERP learning instrument that can be used to measure ERP learning and attitudes toward ERP is presented. The ERP learning instrument consists of three constructs (16 items) to measure ERP learning (business process knowledge, enterprise systems management knowledge, and transaction skills) as well as measures of attitudes toward ERP (instrument available from the authors at no cost) . The results of the study indicate that an ERP simulation game enhanced student learning and influenced student attitudes toward an ERP system.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 5th Int. Workshop on Social Software Engineering @ ESEC/FSE 2013 Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 17:09:02 -0700 From: Leif Singer <ml(a)singer.sh> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** The 5th International Workshop on Social Software Engineering invites contributions from researchers involved with research on the socialness of software engineering and developed software. The workshop will take place on August 18, 2013 in Saint Petersburg, Russia and will be colocated with ESEC/FSE 2013. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Website: http://socialse.org Twitter: https://twitter.com/sse_ws ESEC/FSE 2013: http://esec-fse.inf.ethz.ch *** IMPORTANT DATES *** May 26 2013: Submission deadline June 14 2013: Review feedback June 28 2013: Camera-ready August 18 2013: Workshop *** MOTIVATION *** The Workshop on Social Software Engineering (SSE) focuses on the socialness of software engineering and of developed software. On one hand, we consider social factors in software engineering activities, processes, and CASE tools to be useful to improve the quality of development processes and the software produced by them. Examples include the role of situational awareness and multi-cultural factors in collaborative software development. On the other hand, the dynamics of the social contexts in which software could operate (e.g., in a cloud environment) calls for engineering social adaptability as a production-time iterative activity. One example is to gather users’ feedback on software quality and use it to autonomously or semi-autonomously adapt the software. The SSE workshop brings together academic and industrial perspectives to provide models, methods, tools, and approaches to address these issues. *** TOPICS OF INTEREST *** In this workshop, we will bring together researchers and practitioners who study and build socially-oriented tools to support collaboration and knowledge sharing in software engineering. We will also investigate the adaptability of software to the dynamic social contexts in which it could operate, and the involvement of clients and end-users in shaping software adaptation decisions at runtime. These social contexts include norms, culture, roles and responsibilities, stakeholder goals and inter-dependencies, end-user perception of the quality and appropriateness of each software behaviour, and others. This workshop is organized around a number of topics, which we divide into two categories: 1. Software Engineering as a Social Activity * Leveraging social computing in the requirements engineering, design, development, testing, and maintenance stages of software development * Radically-distributed software engineering, semi-anonymous collaboration, "borderless" development teams * Exploiting, customizing and extending existing software engineering processes and paradigms to support the socialness of software engineering * Analysing the use of social networks and media to connect users and incentivize behaviours in software development communities and organizations * The "social" software engineer: redefining the software engineering risks, rewards, and opportunities * Using ICT-mediated social media to teach software engineering and share knowledge between different stakeholders * Research methods, models and empirical studies on the socialness of software engineering process * Forward-looking scenarios and research agendas 2. Engineering Social Adaptability * Systematic capturing and analysis of user and community feedback and making user and community involvement a first order concern in software runtime decisions and planning software evolution * Engineering methods, tools, and frameworks for sociability features of software, such as inspiring trust and encouraging users to act as collaborators * Engineering software to support social awareness and the ability to socially adapt to norms, culture and organizational structure in different production environments * Exploring and employing approaches in sociology and psychology for the engineering of social adaptability of software * Engineering social and participatory sensing to gather data from users on the move * Architectures and CASE tools for runtime management of software sociability * Recommendation systems for social adaptability * Research methods, models and empirical studies regarding engineering the sociability and social adaptability of software * Forward-looking scenarios and research agendas *** TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS *** We invite three kinds of submissions: * Full papers (6-8 pages) describing social software engineering challenges, needs, novel approaches, and frameworks. New approaches must be evaluated with users who did not help design the system. Empirical evaluation papers and industrial experience reports are also welcome. * Short position papers (3-4 pages) describing a new idea or work in progress. * Posters and demo papers (1-2 pages) summarizing a research project, tool, or technique. *** SUBMISSIONS *** All papers must conform at time of submission to the ESEC/FSE 2013 Format and Submission Guidelines: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates All submissions must be in English.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2014 - Teilkonferenz: Adoption, Nutzung und Erfolg von Artefakten in der WI Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 12:04:34 +0200 From: Nils.Urbach(a)ebs.edu To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de (Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen.) ******************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (MKWI) 2014 26.-28.02.2014 in Paderborn Website: http://www.mkwi2014.de/ Teilkonferenz: Adoption, Nutzung und Erfolg von Artefakten in der WI Webseite: http://www.mkwi2014.de/Cfps/Details/1 ******************************************************************************** BESCHREIBUNG Fragestellungen der Wirkung und Wirtschaftlichkeit von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) werden in der Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI) seit vielen Jahren intensiv diskutiert. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass weiterhin eine große Zahl an IKT-Misserfolgen zu beobachten ist, bleibt die Messung des Erfolgs von IKT auf Basis individueller Nutzung und organisationaler Adoption eine wichtige Herausforderung sowohl für Praktiker als auch in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung. In der internationalen Information-Systems-(IS)-Community spiegelt sich das u.a. in zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen zu IS Success und IS Adoption – oftmals auf individueller Ebene – wider. Komplementär nimmt der Forschungsstrang zum Geschäftsnutzen von IKT (Business Value of IT) einen breiteren – zumeist organisationalen – Fokus ein. Die Forschungsaktivitäten in diesem Bereich werden zunehmend dahingehend erweitert, dass nicht nur IKT sondern auch andere Artefakte wie Organisationsstrukturen, Prozesse und Methoden untersucht werden. Hier kann eine Brücke zur konstruktionsorientierten Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung geschlagen werden, bei der die erfolgsorientierte Evaluierung von Artefakten von großer Bedeutung ist. Diese Teilkonferenz lädt Forscher und Praktiker ein, ihre Forschung zu Aspekten der Adoption, der Nutzung und des Erfolgs von Artefakten wie IKT, Organisationsstrukturen, Prozessen und Methoden zu präsentieren. Dabei kann es sich um konzeptionelle sowie qualitativ- und quantitativ-empirische Studien handeln. MÖGLICHE THEMEN - Adoption, Nutzung und Diffusion von Artefakten - Erfolg von Artefakten - Managementansätze zur Steigerung von Adoption, Nutzung und Diffusion - Methoden und Modelle zur Messung der Adoption, Nutzung und Diffusion von Artefakten - Management und Messung des Erfolgs und Nutzens von Artefakten - Einfluss von strategischen, organisationalen, prozessualen oder kulturellen Faktoren auf Erfolg und Nutzen - Evaluation von Artefakten im Rahmen von Konstruktionsforschung und Design-Science-Prozessen - Wechselwirkung zwischen vor allem technischen Artefakten und der sozialen Umwelt in verschiedenen Bereichen des täglichen Lebens EINREICHUNGSPROZESS Beiträge können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden.

Fwd: [WI] CfP: Semantics for Big Data AAAI Fall Symposium 2013
by Gustaf Neumann 12 May '13

12 May '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: Semantics for Big Data AAAI Fall Symposium 2013 Datum: Sat, 11 May 2013 12:57:58 -0400 Von: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> An: pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de <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.
