-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 3rd CFP for the Book: Demand-Driven Web Services: Theory, Technologies and Applications Date: Thu, 2 May 2013 15:43:00 +1000 From: Zhaohao Sun <zhaohao.sun(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org THIRD 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.

Fwd: [WI] CfP ASPOCP 2013: 6th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms
by Gustaf Neumann 02 May '13

02 May '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP ASPOCP 2013: 6th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms Date: Thu, 2 May 2013 00:25:38 -0500 (CDT) From: aspocp(a)gmail.com (Yuliya Lierler) Apologies for cross-posting. =============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2013 6th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/events/aspocp2013 August 25th, 2013 Collocated with the International Conference on Logic Programming 2013 Istanbul, Turkey August 24-29, 2013 =============================================================================== AIMS AND SCOPE Since its introduction in the late 1980s, answer set programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which has led to a method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most studied relationship which is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL theorem provers, and CLP systems. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web), constraint satisfaction, and general means of external computation. This workshop will facilitate the discussion about crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving, and applications, in combination with or inspired by other computing paradigms. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). - ASP and constraint programming. - ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). - ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. - ASP and external means of computation. - ASP and probabilistic reasoning. - ASP and machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions to ASP. - ASP and multi-agent systems. - ASP and multi-context systems. - Modularity and ASP. - ASP and argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. - Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. - ASP and related paradigms in applications. - Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS Papers must describe original research and should not exceed 15 pages in the Springer LNCS format <URL:http://www.springeronline.com/lncs/>.

Fwd: Deadline Extension: SASO2013 - 7th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 01 May '13

01 May '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Deadline Extension: SASO2013 - 7th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 17:27:38 +0200 (CEST) From: SASO 2013 Publicity Chair <SASO-publicity(a)iiia.csic.es> To: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at CC: SASO 2013 Publicity Chair <SASO-publicity(a)iiia.csic.es> ************************************************************************************************************ (Deadline Extension) CALL FOR PAPERS Seventh IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2013) Philadelphia (PA), USA; 9-13 September 2013 --- https://www.cs.drexel.edu/saso2013/ ************************************************************************************************************ ------------------- Aims and Scope ------------------- The aim of the Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing systems conference series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. The complexity of current and emerging networks, software and services, especially in dealing with dynamics in the environment and problem domain, has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such computing systems. In this endeavour, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated approaches. Many significant research problems exist related to self-adaptive or self-organizing systems. A challenge in self-adaptation is often to identify how to change specific behavior to achieve the desired improvement. Another major challenge is to predict and control the global system behavior resulting from self-organization. Yet more challenges arise from the confluence of self-adaptation with self-organization. For instance, how do self-* mechanisms that work well independently operate in combination? How are meso-level structures formed which leverage micro-level behavior to achieve desirable macro-level outcomes, and avoid undesirable ones? The seventh edition of the SASO conference embraces the inter-disciplinarity and the scientific, empirical and application dimensions of self-* systems; it thus aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications. SASO welcomes novel results on both self-adaptive and self-organizing systems research. It seeks to emphasize the interconnection of basic research between and within fields, and the increasing protrusion of self-* systems into the human sphere, evaluating their impact on society, environmental sustainability, commerce, living/working spaces and critical infrastructure. Therefore contributions are welcomed that: apply self-* principles to solve real-world problems; unpick the entanglement of self-* systems and human users in socio-technical systems; present advances in self-* mechanisms or analyses with potentially broad application; investigate the combination and interconnection of self-* mechanisms; and/or identify and evaluate new self-* principles or mechanisms from the study of natural or engineered systems. Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems, are equally encouraged. Where relevant and appropriate, accepted papers will also be encouraged to submit accompanying papers for the Demo or Poster Sessions. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- *** Abstract submission: May 10, 2013 (Extended deadline) *** *** Paper submission: May 17, 2013 (Extended deadline) *** Notification: June 21, 2013 Camera ready copy due: July 19, 2013 Early registration: August 21, 2013 Conference: September 9-13, 2013 ----------------------- Topics of Interest ----------------------- The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to: - Self-* systems theory: theoretical frameworks and models; biologically- and socially-inspired paradigms; inter-operation of self-* mechanisms; - Self-* systems engineering: hardware, software and middleware development frameworks and methods, platforms and toolkits; self-* materials; - Self-* system properties: robustness, resilience and stability; emergence; computational awareness and self-awareness; reflection; - Self-* cyber-physical and socio-technical systems: human factors and visualization; self-* social computers; crowdsourcing and collective awareness; - Applications and experiences of self-* systems: cyber security, transportation, computational sustainability, big data and creative commons, power systems. ---------------------------- Submission Instructions ---------------------------- All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in PDF format. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2013 conference management system. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE digital library. Note that a separate call for poster submissions has also been issued. -------------------- Review Criteria -------------------- Papers should present novel ideas in the cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, clearly motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. We expect both theoretical and empirical contributions to be clearly stated, substantiated by formal analysis, animation or simulation, experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and so on. Appropriate reference must be made to related work. Because SASO is a cross-disciplinary conference, papers must be intelligible and relevant to researchers who are not members of the same specialized sub-field. Authors are also encouraged to submit papers describing applications. Application papers are expected to provide an indication of the real world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or comparison to alternative approaches. Experience papers are also welcome but they must clearly state the insight into any aspect of design, implementation or management of self-* systems which is of benefit to practitioners and the SASO community. ------------------- Program Chairs ------------------- Tom Holvoet KU Leuven, Belgium Jeremy Pitt Imperial College London, England Ichiro Satoh National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan

The trade tends to be one-way, from CS to IS. This paper explores why that is the case, and what might be done to change things To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below: http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/vol14/iss4/3/ PAPER TWO Managing the Unmanageable: How IS Research Can Contribute to the Scholarship of Cyber Projects By Laurie J. Kirsch and Sandra A. Slaughter Abstract Cyber projects are large-scale efforts to implement computer, information, and communication technologies in scientific communities. These projects seek to build scientific cyberinfrastructure that will promote new scientific collaborations and transform science in novel and unimagined ways. Their scope and complexity, the number and diversity of stakeholders, and their transformational goals make cyber projects extremely challenging to understand and manage. Consequently, scholars from multiple disciplines, including computer science, information science, sociology, and information systems, have begun to study cyber projects and their impacts. As IS scholars, our goal is to contribute to this growing body of inter-disciplinary knowledge by considering three areas of IS research that are particularly germane to this class of project, given their characteristics: development approaches, conflict, and success factors. After describing cyber projects, we explore how IS research findings in these three areas are relevant for cyber projects, and suggest promising avenues of future research. We conclude by discussing the importance and unique challenges of cyber projects and propose that, given our expertise and knowledge of project management, IS researchers are particularly well suited to contribute to the inter-disciplinary study of these projects.

To facilitate the assessment, I develop a framework that considers information technology's (IT's) dual roles as operand resource and as operant resource and its impact on innovation process and on innovation outcome. My analysis reveals the advance that has been made in understanding IT's role as operand resource in innovation and the considerable opportunity that exists to explore IT's emerging role as operant resource in innovation. I also comment on the need for IS scholars working in this area to make careful choices regarding their research topic and theoretical perspectives to enhance the potential impact on and contribution to the product/service innovation literature.
