The papers in this workshop will also further knowledge of what we know about how ICT enables the global economy by enabling local needs to be met. Development is the improvement in the lives of people and this is often made possible by ICTs. The questions we want to discuss are: What do we mean by Development? When do we know when there is Development? How do we know that ICTs have brought this about? In a world that is increasingly characterized by climate disturbance, economic crises, diminishing natural resources, exploitation & manipulation of natural resources with grave costs to the environment, demands for participation in governance, etc., there is the need for a model of development that is feasible, just and sustainable. Given the relative over-consumption of resources that is associated with being a 'first world' country, it is obviously not feasible nor sustainable for the majority of countries & peoples to grow economically into this category. The development vs. environment model is increasingly leading the planet to the brink of catastrophe. In a planet of finite resources, does development have to be a zero-sum game with winners and losers? Can ICTs support the development, promotion and realization of a model of 'development' that is holistic, just & sustainable, and that will lead to an appropriate quality of life for each individual on the planet? Within this context, should academic ICT research be more pro-active? We invite papers, panel session proposals, and field studies that can inform theory and provide guidelines to field workers in developing economies. Both research and practice papers are encouraged. Graduate student papers will be given special consideration. Areas of interest for the 6^th Annual Pre-ICIS GlobDev Workshop include but are not limited to: 1.The role of government policy in fostering ICT human capital, cooperation and capacity building 2.ICT Impact Analysis: Sophisticated analyses of the empowering potential & dangers posed by ICTs. 3.Social, political, and community development impacts of ICTs. 4.New frameworks and models for fostering ICT human capital and capacity building 5.Critical and theoretical perspectives on the digital divide and social inclusion 6.Challenges of ICT human capital and capacity building in remote regions 7.Educational systems; content provision and delivery; developing ICT skills 8.Mobile technologies as infrastructure for ICT human capital and capacity building 9.Frugal Innovation, Frugal Information Systems and innovative ways in which technologies are applied in developing regions. 10.ICT support for Small Island States and vulnerabilities caused by climate change Any combination of the above or aspects of human capital and capacity building for development will be considered. WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS These will be published in the AIS eLibrary. FAST-TRACKING TO JOURNAL Authors of selected workshop papers will be invited to submit their papers for possible inclusion in a special issue of Information Technology for Development <http://globdev.org/dev/?q=node/8> (ITD) ** *IMPORTANT DATES* Notification of Intention to Submit (Optional): asap Paper/Panel Proposal Submission Deadline: September 14, 2013

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: 1st International Workshop on Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB 2013) Datum: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:51:29 +0300 Von: Gregoris Mentzas <gmentzas(a)mail.ntua.gr> Antwort an: gmentzas(a)mail.ntua.gr Organisation: NTUA An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ============================================= 1st International Workshop on Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB 2013) Workshop co-located with the 11th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing Berlin, Germany, December 2-5, 2013, http://www.icsoc.org/ https://sites.google.com/site/cloudbrokerworkshop/ ============================================= Abstract submission deadline: 23 August 2013 Deadline for Paper Submission: 30 August 2013 Paper Acceptance Notification: 14 October 2013 Camera Ready Paper & Copyright: 31 October 2013 ============================================= ABOUT CSB 2013 ----------------------------- The 1st International Workshop on Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB 2013) looks to a future in which a multi-cloud ecosystem exists, within which many cloud providers and consumers interact to discover, negotiate and use software services. Supporting this ecosystem are cloud brokers, whose role is to bring together providers and consumers, by offering service portals with added value for all parties. A central feature of the broker's role will be to assure quality control (both functional and non-functional), service continuity (failure prevention and recovery; service substitution) and market competition (arbitrage; service optimization; service customization). In this workshop we invite contributions which tackle theoretical, technical and application aspects of Cloud Service Brokerage. TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------- Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to,methods and mechanisms for: Service specification - current service description languages are only up to the task of describing the service interface; what is needed are abstract languages to describe the complete behaviour and performance of services, such that it can be determined whether one service is formally substitutable by another; Service functional testing - current service testing is mostly developer-based and in-house; what is needed is a means of generating standard test sets from functional specifications of services, which can be grounded for each of the service protocol technologies described above; Service performance monitoring - current service monitoring technology is limited to SLAs for response-times and availability of end-points; what is needed is a more sophisticated data fusion approach with trend prediction, supporting service optimisation and substitution. Service optimisation - current service platforms offer single-vendor services with failover substitution, or manual selection from several providers; what is needed is a means of offering multi-vendor services on a competitive basis, with automatic arbitrage between different providers. Service governance - current services and platforms are developed following in-house software processes; what is needed are explicit standards and methods for governing the whole service lifecycle, ensuring common quality standards and interfaces, supporting convergent service development and service customisation. Other topics relevant to the Cloud Broker role will be considered; please note that service security is out of scope, being a matter for the Cloud Auditor role IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- Abstract submission deadline: 23 August 2013 Deadline for Paper Submission: 30 August 2013 Paper Acceptance Notification: 14 October 2013 Camera Ready Paper & Copyright: 31 October 2013 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ----------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers written in English. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the international program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, and will be published by Springer-Verlag. Full research papers should not exceed 12 pages in the Springer LNCS style format including all text, references, appendices, and figures. Please submit papers in PDF via EasyChair. At least one author of an accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop.

Selected high-quality papers will be invited to be published, after revision and extension, in special issues of international journals and in a book in the Book Series: Atlantis Ambient and Pervasive Intelligence published by Springer. **** Scope ***** A vast variety of multimedia services like voice, email, instant messaging, social networks, mobile payment and transactions, mobile video conferencing, or video and audio streaming has already shaped the expectations towards current mobile devices, infrastructure, and services. Within the last five years, mobile multimedia has become the accepted standard, driven by developments in end-user devices, radio networks, and backend services. However, many open research questions remain, from limited battery life to heterogeneous data types, increases in quality of service, context-aware adaptation to the environment, or the ever-present security and privacy issues. MoMM2013 is the 11th in the series of the highly successful International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing and Multimedia. Recently, MoMM has been held in Bali (2012), Ho Chi Minh City (2011), Paris (2010), Kuala Lumpur (2009), and Linz (2008). This year, Vienna will host MoMM2013. The MoMM conference series has provided opportunities to researchers, graduate students, and industry practitioners to address recent research results and current industry practices in the area of mobile computing and multimedia. We invite three types of submissions: Full Technical Papers, Short Position Papers, and Demonstrations. A Full Paper should provide solid conceptual and theoretical foundation and substantial support for its results and conclusions as a significant contribution to the field. A Position Paper is not expected to be theoretically or empirically thorough, but represents an earlier stage of work.

First, they articulate how PoP model is conceptualized on the economic principles of n-sided markets and discuss associated network effects for the platforms to attain critical mass for sustainability. Then, the authors attempted to analyze the enablers of the PoP including open systems and standards and their effect on the success of PoP. Next, they apply the principles of PoP to two use cases -- Internet of Things and Enterprise Mobility, and indicate the relevant research issues that need to be addressed. The authors concluded with remarks on the importance of security as a platform, which in their opinion has not been given due importance thus far, and the related avenues of research for the reliability and sustainability of future networks.

Sarkar (School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand) This paper reports on the design and evaluation of a class of cross-layer design (CLD) framework for improving the performance of 802.11-based wireless local area networks (WLANs). While various CLD approaches have been proposed for improving the performance of WLANs in recent years, the problem of efficient channel utilization, higher throughput, lower packet delay, and fairness has not been fully solved yet. To overcome the performance problems of 802.11, we propose a CLD framework which is based on a cross-layer medium access control (MAC) protocol called the channel-aware buffer unit multiple access (C-BUMA). In the framework, the radio propagation (i.e. physical layer) is combined with the MAC sub-layer to develop a robust cross-layer communication. By sharing channel information with the MAC protocol, the approach reduced unnecessary packet transmissions, and hence reduced bandwidth wastage and significantly improved the system performance. The proposed CLD method is evaluated by extensive simulation experiments. A comparison with 802.11 standards is provided. Results obtained show that the network achieves up to 13.5% higher throughput, 56% lower packet delay, 40% better fairness, and 38% lower packet dropping with the proposed CLD. We also found that the proposed CLD outperforms Pham's CLD with respect to network throughput and packet dropping. The analysis and empirical results reported in this paper provide some insights into the design and evaluation of a CLD framework for improving data rate of 802.11 networks which may help researchers in this field to overcome the remaining design issues and challenges.

The agents store incoming TCP packet in a buffer for future possible retransmissions over the wireless links. Since the number of TCP connections passing through the MR could be very large, the amount of memory space required for the buffers may become very high. This may put the deployment of obTCP in question. So, in this paper, the authors investigate the buffer requirement problem of obTCP at MR for each TCP connection. For this purpose, they describe a Markov model to keep track of the packet transmission process of MR. The buffer size for each TCP connection is represented as a function of loss probability of the wireless links. Interestingly, from the numerical results, the authors find that the buffer size requirement at MR is significantly low for each TCP connections. This observation claims possible implementation of obTCP in NEMO.

Sarkar (School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand) and Burjiz K. Soorty (Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand) IPv6 is the next generation Internet protocol that is already in process of replacing the current IPv4 on corporate networks worldwide. Most of the latest MS Windows and Linux-based client/server operating systems (OSs) support IPv6. However, deploying IPv6 in a corporate network requires an evaluation to determine which modern OS will give the best bandwidth-latency for TCP applications. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate IPv6 against IPv4 in a peer-to-peer Gigabit Ethernet for TCP using four of the latest Windows and Linux systems and to find out the OS that provides the best system performance over IPv6 networks. It is obvious that implementing IPv6 on a Gigabit Ethernet will have drawbacks of lower bandwidth and higher latency as a result of its larger address space. In this paper the authors quantify the performance degradation of IPv6 using empirical study. They measure the quality of service (QoS) parameters, such as TCP throughput, round-trip-time, jitter, and CPU utilization using a customized testbed setting. The effect of packet length on system performance is also reported. The analysis and empirical results reported in this paper provide some insights into IPv6 performance with respect to the impact of modern client/server OS on system performance. This study may help network researchers and engineers to overcome the remaining challenging issues in the deployment of IPv6 on corporate networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - Challenges Journal Special Issue: Challenges in Open Access Publishing for Software Engineering and Information Systems Fields Datum: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:24:40 +0000 Von: Graziotin Daniel <graziotin(a)inf.unibz.it> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Challenges in Open Access Publishing for Software Engineering and Information Systems Fields Special Issue of Challenges journal <http://www.mdpi.com/journal/challenges> Special Issue Web page: <http://www.mdpi.com/journal/challenges/special_issues/systems-fields> It is known that research results are often hidden behind the publishers' paywall and may not be accessible for all researchers and practitioners. While there are thousands of peer-reviewed journals with consistently increasing subscription costs, universities, libraries and companies are suffering from budget cuts making it difficult for them to offer a wide access to articles and journals. Therefore, there is an apparent danger that published research results are not seen by the audience that would benefit from them. Arguably, a solution for this matter would be to make all the research results freely available over the Internet. Open Access as defined in the Budapest statement is such an initiative. Indeed, as of today, various Open Access models for publishers exist. The most commonly used models are called the gold, green, hybrid, and the delayed publishing models. Many new players are entering this market: independent journals and magazines, subscription-based tradition al publi shers, and the so-called predatory publishers. In Software Engineering and Information Systems fields, the status of Open Access publishing is little researched and hence to large extent an unknown and little understood venue for researchers and practitioners. The purpose of this special issue on Open Access publication challenges is to investigate the uncharted terrain in the fields of Software Engineering and Information Systems. We welcome all kinds of viewpoints including theoretical contemplations, systematic reviews, mapping studies, and empirical research papers on different topics, including: * Publication models * Quality of Open Access publications * Industrial experiences * Researchers' perceptions * Publishers' viewpoints * Status of Open Access research * Costs of Open Access publishing * Barriers for adoption of open access * New publication innovations in Open Access Submissions: Manuscripts should be submitted online. Please see the Instructions for authors page <http://www.mdpi.com/journal/challenges/instructions#submission>. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on the website. The publication fees are waived for submissions in 2013 (including this special issue). However, a fee may apply for those articles that need major editing and formatting and/or English editing.
