-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] IEEE Symposium Software Crowdsourcing 2015 - Call for Papers Datum: Fri, 28 Nov 2014 13:39:29 +0000 Von: Kevin G Crowston <crowston(a)syr.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> IEEE Symposium Software Crowdsourcing 2015 - Call for Papers http://rcbd.buaa.edu.cn/issc/ Scope and Vision Large-scale software ecosystems, such as cloud-based global online service systems and metropolitan-wide cyber-physical systems, exhibit unprecedented complexity, variability, and uncertainty. To tackle the challenges that arise from the practices of engineering these social-technical systems, we need new software models and development methodologies to build and maintain sustainable and active software ecosystems. Recently, crowdsourcing has been shown to be a viable and promising approach to enable bootstrapping and orchestration of software ecosystems at large scales. Through software crowdsourcing, software companies can seek funding support, market products to a wider range of customers, and to leverage the collective intelligence of developer communities to deliver high quality and innovative software products with lower cost. This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the fields of software engineering, open source software, social networking, crowdsourcing, organization and economic science, and cloud computing to discuss the fundamental principles, software architecture and models, and development process of the methodology. The primary objective of the symposium is to share research ideas and practices in the emerging area of software crowdsourcing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:  Software crowdsourcing process and methodology  Worker behavior, ranking, evaluation, collaboration  Incentive schemes, game theory, competition models, stochastic models  Quality evaluation and assurance for Software Crowdsourcing  Business cases, economics, strategies and governance for software ecosystems  Software ecosystem modeling and practices  Sustainability and evolution of software ecosystems  Market-specific domain engineering  Open source software ecosystems  Virtualized software enterprises  Industrial experiences with software crowdsourcing  Enterprise Crowdsourcing and innovation  Education Crowdsourcing and MOOCs  eScience Crowdsourcing : citizen science and volunteer computing  Crowdsourcing platforms (system, architecture, machine learning, education) Steering Committee Michael N.

The conference will be held in conjunction with the 38th Information Systems Research Seminar in Scandinavia (IRIS 2015). While many of the participants are from the Nordic countries, researchers from all parts of the world are warmly welcome to the conference. *Conference theme: **System design for, with and by users* Information systems are in various forms embedded in everyday human practices. They have become intertwined and embedded in almost all parts of our everyday life, including leisure, thereby establishing new forms of participation and design. Hence, "users" cannot be considered as passive consumers anymore, but at least as content producers if not even as co-designers and innovators. This calls for reconsidering the traditional understandings of the roles of users and designers as well as for different development approaches that place emphasis on users' empowerment, motivation and inclusion in designing, shaping, innovating and co-creating information systems in their everyday life. The SCIS conference theme challenges IS researchers to consider these new forms of participation, persuasion and design---/for, with and by users/---both in the sense of understanding the phenomenon better and in devising better support for it. We also call for reflective accounts on this decades old theme that has from the very beginning characterized Scandinavian IS design. *Paper submission* SCIS 2015 is open for full research papers within the conference theme as well as other areas of IS research. We welcome empirical as well as theoretical and methodological papers. Papers are not to exceed 6000 words/16 pages. Papers must be formatted according to the _Springer LNBIP instructions_ <http://www.springer.com/series/7911> and submitted through EasyChair: _https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scis2015_ Accepted papers will be published in the Springer series of /Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP)/. */Scandinavian Conference on Information Systems (SCIS 2015)/* *General Co-Chairs* Iivari Netta, University of Oulu, Finland Kuutti Kari, University of Oulu, Finland *Program Chair* Oinas-Kukkonen Harri, University of Oulu, Finland *Program Committee* Aaen Ivan, Aalborg University, Denmark Baghaei Nilufar, Unitec Institute of Technology, New Zealand Bratteteig Tone, University of Oslo, Norway Chatterjee Samir, Claremont Graduate University, US Cheung Christy, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Chevalier Max, IRIT, France Eslambolchilar Parisa, Swansea University, UK Gholami Roya, Aston University, UK Gretzel Ulrike, University of Queensland, Australia Henfridsson Ola, University of Warwick, UK Iyengar Sriram, University of Texas Houston, US Krogstie John, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Lanamäki Arto, University of Oulu, Finland Mäntymäki Matti, University of Turku, Finland Päivärinta Tero, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Pekkola Samuli.

Neumann, Let me kindly inform you that there is an open call for papers, until December 1, for the Special Session on Social Model-Driven Engineering for Enterprises - SMDEE 2015. This special session aims at discussing the latest developments in social model-driven engineering techniques that would help inject social elements into enterprises’ applications. This should be done by capturing social relations between the enterprise’s stakeholders and abstracting these relations using dedicated models. Later on these models are converted onto executable software programs. These programs will reinforce the fact that employees establish and maintain social networks of contacts, rely on some privileged contacts when needed, and form with their peers strong and long lasting social collaborative groups. In today’s economies, an enterprise’s ability to sustain its growth and competitiveness depends on how well it socially manages its communications with various stakeholders for instance, customers, suppliers, competitors, and partners. This special session is part of the International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development (MODELSWARD - http://www.modelsward.org/), which is sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information and Control and Communication (INSTICC), co-organized by the ESEO Group (ESEO) and held in Cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems (ACM SIGMIS), Open Group SOA Work Group (SOA),IEICE Special Interest Group on Software Interprise Modelling (SWIM) and ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering (ACM SIGSOFT) and technically co-sponsored by the AIS Special Interest Group on Modeling and Simulation (AIS SIGMAS), IEEE Technical Council on Software Engineering (IEEE CS - TCSE) and IEEE Technical Committee on Business Informatics and Systems (IEEE CS - TCBIS). INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), Object Management Group (OMG) and Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA). The Logistics Partner is the Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS). MODELSWARD will be held in ESEO, Angers, France next year, on February 9 - 11, 2015. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support.

Innovation is constantly needed as audiences are fragmenting as well as changing their preferences, and demand is rapidly declining. Thus, mechanisms must be developed to allow a multi-platform exploitation of content so that user preferences are fulfilled and returns from investments ensured. Information technology plays a key role within this context. Newly emerged forms of news and, more in general, knowledge gathering, dissemination and consumption have been challenging traditional economic and working models during the past decade. These new forms are driven by mass creativity, interactive rather than passive consumption of media, erosion of industrial control over the means of production and the development of highly accessible new communication technologies. The implications of these emerging modes of practice have enormous potential for constructive growth and increased competitiveness within our economic system. Media are therefore an interesting and worthwhile research object for both media and information technology scholars. Besides strategic management, innovation and technology management theories as well as concepts from disciplines such as sociology and psychology can be applied in order to better understand the impact of social media on the development of new business models, and on media user and consumer behavior. This track aims therefore at merging media management as well as information management and systems researchers to stimulate discussion around the current status as well as the future development of media from a technological, managerial, business as well as social point of view. The proposed track will focus on (but is not limited to) topics such as - The role of information technology within the development of the media industry - The impact of information systems on the economics of the media business - Network and Lock-in effects on media industry structure and competition - Information systems and media convergence issues - The role of technology acceptance factors for the adoption and diffusion of technology driven media products - The role of content and information systems for the creation of new media business models - The interplay between technology and content, and their impact on media consumer choices - Information technology and the emergence of new media professions - The link between information systems and the development of data journalism - The impact of information systems on journalistic work and processes - Information technology, audience measurement and audience participation - Information technology and social media management TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS The proposed track on media management aims at attracting the full spectrum of submissions: - Completed papers that represent a mature, theory-driven and empirically validated research - Research-in-progress papers that explore emerging research areas and would profit from discussion and feedback at ECIS - Practical examples of technology sustained new media business models and managerial systems PAPER SUBMISSIONS Research papers and research-in-progress papers are limited to 12 and 7 pages in length respectively, practical examples to 14 pages. All submissions must use the Word or the LaTeX template on the website and be submitted as PDF. Submissions to ECIS 2015 must be original, NOT previously published in a journal or conference proceedings, nor presented at another conference. Moreover, they must NOT be currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere.
