VaMoS 2014 focuses broadly on innovative work in the area of variability modelling and management. We particularly invite contributions with a strong variability modelling aspect, but also addressing the wider area of variability management, e.g., requirements, architecture, analysis, implementation, and evolution. The VaMoS workshop series aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from different areas dedicated to mastering variability to discuss advantages, drawbacks, and complementarities of various approaches and to present new results for mastering variability throughout the whole lifecycle of systems, system families, and product lines. The workshop will feature invited keynotes as well as peer-reviewed paper presentations. We welcome submissions on the following topics: - Variability across the software lifecycle - Separation of concerns and modularity - Variability evolution - Variability mining and reverse-engineering - Feature, aspect, and service orientation - Software configuration management and version control - Architecture and design approaches for variability - Software economic aspects of variability - Visualization and management of variability - Adaptivity at runtime and development time - Reasoning about variability - Analysis of models and artifacts with variability - Programming languages and tool support - Case studies, empirical studies and experience reports Please contact the PC chairs if uncertain about suitability of your paper for inclusion into the VAMOS program. Format ------ VaMoS 2014, like the previous VaMoS workshops, will be a highly interactive event. Each session is organized such that discussions among presenters of papers, discussants and other participants are stimulated. Typically, after a paper is presented, it is immediately discussed by pre-assigned discussants, after which a free discussion involving all participants follows. Each session is closed by a general discussion of all papers presented in the session. The workshop language is English. Attendance is open to authors of accepted papers, invited speakers, organizers, PC members, and to any guest visitors who agree to be discussants of papers. Invited Speakers ---------------- Bran Selic, Malina Software, CA Juha Savolainen, Danfoss Power Electronics, DK Submissions Types ----------------- - Research papers describing novel contributions to the field of variability. - Problem statements describing open issues of theoretical or practical nature. - Reports on positive or negative experiences with techniques and tools related to VaMoS. - Surveys and comparative studies that investigate pros, cons and complementarities of existing VaMoS-related approaches. - Research-in-progress reports including research results at a premature stage. - Vision papers stating where the research in the field should be heading towards. - Demonstrations describing the variability-related features of software development tools. The length of the submitted papers should be between 4 and 8 pages in ACM proceedings format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates choose option 2, tighter alternate style). The proceedings will be available to participants during the event, and archived in ACM Digital Library. Previous editions of VaMoS have been indexed by DBLP. !!!NEW!!! The authors of best papers accepted for VAMOS'14 will be invited to submit full versions to a special section of the Springer's SoSyM journal devoted to this edition of the workshop (subject to a separate review process).

There are even attempts to formulate the concept of play theoretically and to identify why it’s so important to our lives. We can even recall that play is one of the first things we do after we are born, constituting our first man-machine interface (with toys) and one of the first social activities we engage in. Even though playful learning is a recurrent vision in pedagogical thought, the educational system in most countries treats play as something antagonistic to learning: young students are allowed to play only during pre-defined sessions between classes and learning usually relies on formal teaching methods. This distinction was carried over, until recently, to the respective research fields in digital technologies: CS people working on games concentrated on the AI-side (how to make successful computer agents and non-player characters that play games in an unsupervised manner), while research on technology-enhanced learning looked for theoretical foundations in the most traditional learning research, missing out almost completely on concepts of engagement, playful learning and related concepts which recently emerged, such as ‘gamification’. As a result, most of the games produced for explicitly educational purposes from the collaboration of CS and TEL researchers, may have been effective with respect to their learning objectives, but they were not in the end adopted by their prospective users. In addition, game-based learning research has yet to tap into the potential of using games to cultivate creativity. While traditional media such as arts and crafts are essential to the enhancement of certain creative skills, games can be used to explore approaches to enhancing creativity that draw upon the broader digitally mediated culture: playing games requires creative skills that many students are now familiar with in terms of learning and then optimising the mechanics of a game. This special issue of the IxD&A journal intends to expand the results of the Games for learning workshops at the Intelligent Tutoring Systems 2012 (http://www.image.ece.ntua.gr/events/its-emotion-in-games/) and Foundations of Digital Games 2013 (http://sirenproject.eu/content/fdg-2013-workshop-games-for-learning) conferences, by bringing together researchers from the fields of games research, game AI, intelligent systems, affective computing, design, human-computer interaction and user experience with people from the fields of education, technology-enhanced learning, cognitive sciences, psychology and ergonomics in order to foster the exchange of ideas and experiences from designing, developing and evaluating learning games in terms of usability and learning effect. The special issue welcomes original research papers from topics including, but not restricted to: - Game design -- User and group modelling for game-based learning -- From educational methodologies to game mechanics -- Mapping graphics and design to learning objectives -- Designing for tangible, mobile and location-based games for learning -- Gamification, reward systems, transfer to real life - Game AI for learning -- User experience and affect-based adaptation -- Group-based adaptation -- Selecting proper content for players and player types -- Adapting to learning performance and objectives -- Non-player characters as tutors - Technology-enhanced learning -- Learning and motivational theories for game-based learning -- Game-based ‘fun’, ‘flow’ and ‘engagement’ in learning -- Defining and promoting creativity and ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking -- UX evaluation of game-based learning -- Outcome evaluation of game-based learning -- Instruction via narrative/storytelling -- Collaboration, conflict and social behaviour in games - Higher-level concepts -- playful learning and creative learning -- maximising user engagement -- social context awareness and adaptation -- alternate reality, augmented reality and news games -- psychology and ethics of gaming -- game-based learning in the school curriculum KEYWORDS: serious games, educational game design, learning objectives, playful learning, evaluation, user-centred design, emotion in games ========================================================== Submission procedure ---------------------------------------------------------- The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors are invited to submit a 8-14 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP ECIS 2014 - Track "Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management"

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP ECIS 2014 - Track "Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management" Datum: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:02:36 +0200 Von: Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)unisg.ch> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 22nd European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2014) Track: "Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management" http://ecis2014.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/4.-Business-Intelligence-and-… June 09-11, 2014, Tel Aviv, Israel (http://ecis2014.eu/) ************************************************ *************************** Deadline for paper submissions: December 8, 2014 =========================================== Track Description =============== The multi-faceted research fields of business intelligence (BI) and knowledge management (KM) comprise a wide range of strategies and practices supporting the identification, creation, distribution, and utilization of organizational insight. Many contributions have emphasized the importance of taking care of organizational data, information and knowledge assets for decision support, management, and leadership. In addition to the organizational context, BI and KM increasingly penetrate the daily (digital) life by leveraging business models and applications that are based on the innovative use of extensive data sources. New opportunities result from mobile data, sensor data, web data, social media data, and network data, and require according data gathering, data preparation and, in particular, data analysis techniques. â??Big dataâ?? as a new hot topic addresses many of the challenges that come along with increasing variety, volume, and velocity of data. Extending existing analytics beyond organizational borders bares considerable potential for research and practice. New phenomena emerge the same way as new business models do. Furthermore, the availability of practically infinite computing and storage capacity through cloud computing enables new opportunities for servitizing our digital work life. Since KM instruments have been used, numerous types of information systems seem to form a heterogeneous knowledge infrastructure that supports documentation, searching, collaboration, integration, and learning of knowledge thus, providing a rich context surrounding these â??knowledge objectsâ?? in digital working life. Furthermore, organizations are challenged how to best prevent knowledge loss during knowledge sharing activities. Eventually, there is a strong need for interoperability, in particular widely accepted standards for integrated digital work and life to further develop the domain of KM. This track aims to promote multi-disciplinary contributions dealing with managerial, economic, methodological, cultural and technical perspectives on BI and KM. Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioral research are encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ======================================= * Strategic management of BI, such as BI strategy, BI governance, BI maturity models, and BI business value * Real time data warehousing and operational BI, event-driven BI, BAM * Data warehousing and data integration * Social BI and social media analytics * Applications of BI, such as customer relationship management and business performance management * BI in the cloud and analytics as a service * Business models and applications by innovative use of big data * Managerial and organizational aspects of big data * Support for mature KM solutions: KM governance, KM strategies, KM maturity models, KM success factors, and KM performance * Cross-border and cross-cultural KM * Management of knowledge and business process improvement * Social and behavioral issues in KM * Mobile technologies and social software usage in KM * Design, development, adoption, usage, and impact of KM systems * Knowledge privacy, security, protection and risk management Track Chairs =========== Barbara Dinter, University of St.Gallen, Switzerland, barbara.dinter(a)unisg.ch (Primary Contact) Markus Bick, ESCP Europe Wirtschaftshochschule Berlin, Germany, mbick(a)escpeurope.e Christian Janiesch, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, christian.janiesch(a)kit.edu Stefan Smolnik, EBS Business School, Germany, stefan.smolnik(a)ebs.edu Associate Editors =============== Sule Balkan, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan GeneviÃ¨ve Bassellier, McGill University, Canada Narasimha Bolloju, City University Hongkong, Hongkong Yu-Wei Chuang, National Central University, Taiwan Tingting Rachel Chung, Chatham University, USA Opher Etzion, IBM, Israel Adir Even, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel Carsten Felden, Technische UniversitÃ¤t Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany HansjÃ¶rg Fromm, Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, Germany Michael Goul, Arizona State University, USA Babita Gupta, California State University Monterey Bay, USA Roland Holten, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Murray E.
