results in the context of web applications development. As part of the
WWW 2015 International conference, this workshop is dedicated to open
discussions about the most important issues today in terms of smart city
methodologies, implementations and practices.
The aim of this workshop is to address web-based application and Apps'
design and development in the smart city and urban context, which is a
rapidly emerging domain and suggests a steadily evolving dominant
market. Applications of these types are crucial, and can be in the areas
of /economy, innovation, transparency, mobility, environment, security,
health, leisure, living, people and governance/ while no particular
standards define rules for corresponding application development yet.
Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from
leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the "big
picture" of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this workshop.
This workshop aims at gathering researchers from the fields of smart
cities and web application development to think about the obstacles that
hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of smart city
trends with regard web application development that interconnect
citizens, businesses and government in a smart city.
We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in
this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant
developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications
and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim
at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the
potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from
end-to-end solutions' or apps' development that will enable researchers
to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify
important directions for the research communities. Standards for web
applications' development in smart cities is interesting for several
areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security,
and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit

(http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/).
Minitrack: *Crowdsourcing and Virtual Collaboration: Oceans of Potential*
Internetworking on a global scale has introduced opportunities to access
millions of people with broad diversity of knowledge, skills, and
perspectives. Crowdsourcing can be thought of as methods of tapping into
this opportunity to produce value. Crowdsourcing is a new and novel
approach to tackling problems and creating new value. We have already
seen many novel and interesting approaches to crowdsourcing, including
application to astronomy, genealogy, startup funding, creative design,
business process design, research, prediction, and many other areas. Yet
the usefulness and potential of crowdsourcing through virtual
collaboration has only begun to be uncovered. However, the significance
of these communities is evident by the impact they have on information
and content generation as well as transmission, and socialization. For
example, Wikipedia is quickly becoming a primary source of information
in a variety of domains.
The cross-disciplinary nature of the IS discipline and its unique
ability to view technology in novel ways gives it strong potential to
make big waves in the crowdsourcing domain. We encourage full paper and
research-in-progress submissions ranging from exploratory to
confirmatory work. All methods of research are encouraged, including
design science, empirical, and theoretical research. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to the following:
· Crowdsourcing knowledge management
· Visualization of crowd-based structure or output
· Barriers to adoption and switching costs
· Social and political impact case studies
· Community-sourced credibility assessment
· Platforms, tools, and technologies
· Better crowdsourcing methods and models
· Innovative crowdsourcing opportunities
· Mobile factors
· Human and community factors
· Crowdsourcing markets and economic models
· Collaboration among and between individuals of the crowd
· Labor and work organization within virtual crowdsourcing communities
We encourage authors to not be limited by this list, but to seek to
submit IS research that demonstrates broad new or existing potential in
the crowdsourcing domain.

DETAILS ABOUT THE ISSUE
*****************************
Developing smart city is the key to the next generation urbanization
process for improving the efficiency, reliability, and security of a
traditional city. The concept of smart city includes various aspects
such as environmental sustainability, social sustainability, regional
competitiveness, natural resources management, cybersecurity, and
quality of life improvement. With the massive deployment of networked
smart devices/sensors, unprecedentedly large amount of sensory data can
be collected and processed by advanced computing paradigms which are the
enabling techniques for smart city. For example, given historical
environmental, population and economic information, salient modeling and
analytics are needed to simulate the impact of potential city planning
strategies, which will be critical for intelligent decision making.
Analytics are also indispensable for discovering the underlying
structure from retrieved data in order to design the optimal policies
for real time automatic control in the cyberphysical smart city system.
Furthermore, uncertainties and security concerns in the data collected
from heterogeneous resources aggravate the problem, which makes smart
city planning, operation, monitoring and control highly challenging.
The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not
limited to:
?Advanced big data modeling and analytics for smart city planning,
monitoring and control
?Social media, crowdsourcing and collaborative behavior management
?Outdoor/indoor geolocation and cartography continuity
?Design and implementation of embedded system for smart city applications
?Advanced control techniques in the smart city as a cyberphysical system
?Technologies in electrical vehicle, smart building and smart home
?Cybersecurity and privacy issues related to smart city
?Heterogeneous sensor network and cooperative sensing for smart city
?Renewable energy and smart energy management for smart city
?Design and synthesis of computing schemes and architectures for smart city
?Development of fault detection and diagnosis techniques for smart city
?Modeling and computing techniques for environmental and social issues
in smart city
?Sustainable technologies for smart city

Proceedings:
============
Contributions will be included in the Companion volume of the ACM
WWW2015 conference, which will be published by ACM and included
in the ACM Digital Library.
However, to make that happen at least one author of the accepted
paper has to register. At the time of submission of the final
camera-ready copy, authors will have to indicate the already
registered person for that publication.
Any paper published by the ACM, IEEE, etc. which can be properly
cited constitutes research which must be considered in judging the
novelty of a WWW submission, whether the published paper was in a
conference, journal, or workshop. Therefore, any paper previously
published as part of a WWW workshop must be referenced and suitably
extended with new content to qualify as a new submission to the
Research Track at the WWW conference.
Submission guidelines:
======================
All submitted papers must
* be written in English;
* contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses;
* be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)
with a font size no smaller than 9pt;
* be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any
platform), and formatted for US Letter size;
* occupy no more than six pages, including the abstract,
references, and appendices.
It is the authors responsibility to ensure that their submissions
adhere strictly to the required format.
Submissions that do not comply with the above guidelines may be
rejected without review.
All submissions must be entered into the reviewing system:

17th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2015)
http://cbi2015.inesc.pt
The CBI is aimed at creating a forum for researchers and practitioners
from various fields that contribute to the construction, use and
maintenance of information systems and the organisational context they
are embedded in. Last but not least, we want to offer a common platform
for Computer Scientist and Information Systems researchers. The benefits
of such a cross-disciplinary conception are contrasted by a challenge:
Authors who submit a paper take the risk to be assessed by standards
that are different from those they are used to in their own communities.
The CBI's organisation accounts for this challenge. It comprises various
domains that represent certain communities. Domains may overlap. They
are represented by two domain coordinators. To encourage submissions
both from Computer Science and Information Systems, the domains are, if
possible, coordinated by representatives of both disciplines. The domain
coordinators are in charge of supervising the reviewing process and
forming tracks depending on the collection of accepted papers. Tracks
are not only intended to represent a certain subject area, but also to
include papers from different communities.
CBI 2015 will include the following domains:
Business Process Management (Coordinators: Jan Mendling, Mathias Weske)
Business Systems Engineering (Coordinators: Massimo Mecella, Manfred
Reichert)
Business Data Engineering (Coordinators: Carsten Felden, Gottfried Vossen)
Business Models & Service Innovation (Coordinators: Eng Chew,
Anne-Laure Mention)
Enterprise Engineering & Enterprise Architecture (Coordinators: Florian
Matthes, Antonia Albani)
Method Engineering (Coordinators: Jolita Ralyté, Robert Winter)
Modelling in Business Informatics (Coordinators: Oscar Pastor, Steven Alter)

================================================================
Description:
The preoccupation with supply chain management (SCM) has been present
over the last few decades. Numerous studies have pointed to the need to
increase the level of integration of inter- and intra-organizational
processes and information systems in order to achieve a greater level of
seamlessness and reduce duplication efforts and corresponding
inefficiencies. The advent of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0,
'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things', green
supply chain) and technologies (e.g., Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID), Bluetooth, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) II) should
accelerate this trend. For example, the combination of intelligent
products and intelligent services enabled by RFID with the existing ICTs
in supply chains should play a facilitating role -- thus allowing
greater visibility of products and services to supply chain members --,
and in parallel offer more opportunities for quick and efficient supply
chain activities. Supply chain members should therefore face greater
strain as they will be expected to manage not only their own activities
in relation to those products and services, but also the integration of
upstream and downstream core business processes and inter- and
intra-organizational information systems. In this context, collaboration
between the supply chain stakeholders to co-create and capture value
from ITs for their economic growth sustainability becomes not only a
prerequisite, but also a major challenge. This mini-trackaims to look
at how to co-create and capture business value from new concepts (e.g.,
social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of Things',
'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID
technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) both at the firm and supply chain levels.
Suggested topics, but are not limited to:
·IT-enabled business analytics at the firm and supply chain levels
·Business process modeling & simulation, business process redesign from
new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data',
'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and
technologies (e.g., RFID , Bluetooth, ERPII) at the firm and supply
chain levels
·Modeling and simulation of the business value of new concepts (e.g.,
social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of Things',
'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID
technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) on quality management
·Modeling and simulation of the costs and risks associated with the
deployment of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data',
'Open data', 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain)
and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) at firm and
supply chain levels
·Modeling and simulation of financial, managerial, leadership, and human
resources required for projects of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web
2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things',
green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth,
ERPII)
·Case studies on the implementation of new concepts (e.g., social media,
Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things',
green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth,
ERPII) for business value co-creation at the firm and supply chain levels
·Enabling innovative electronic business models using new concepts
(e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of
Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies (e.g.,
RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) in various sectors (e.g., healthcare,
retail, manufacturing)

UMAP 2015 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In conjunction with the 23rd Conference on User Modelling, Adaptation
and Personalization (UMAP 2015)
Dublin, Ireland, June 29 - July 3, 2015
http://um.org/umap2015/URL TO CF Workshops
http://umap2015.org
=======================================================================
UMAP 2015 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the conference. The workshops provide a venue to
discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modelling and Adaptive
Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and
practitioners from Industry and academia. We welcome proposals for
half-day and full-day workshops. We encourage proposals for a wide range
of workshops, including but not limited to:
- Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; such
workshops may wish to ask participants to submit a white paper or
position statement.
- Mini-conferences on specialized topics; such workshops may have their
own paper submission and review processes.
- Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual
or team participation.
- Interactive discussion meetings focussing on a subtopic in the general
User Modelling and Adaptive Personalization research topics.
=============== PROPOSAL FORMAT ===============
The workshop proposals should be PDF documents not exceeding 5 pages,
submitted by email to the workshop chairs. The proposals should be
organized as follows:
- Workshop title and acronym
- Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address, homepage, and
experiences in organizing such events
- Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics
- Motivation on why the topic is of particular interest at this time
- Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper
presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussion
- Intended audience and expected number of participants
- List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least 50%
have to be confirmed at the time of the proposal)
- Requested duration (half day or full day)
- Past versions of the workshop, including URLs as well as submission
and acceptance statistics.
Additionally, we strongly suggest to have organizers from different
institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We
welcome workshops with a creative structure that attracts various types
of contributions and ensures rich interactions.
The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site
containing the call for papers and detailed information about the
workshop organization and timeline. The organizers will be responsible
for their own reviewing process, publicity, and publishing electronic
proceedings (e.g., on the CEUR-WS website). They will be required to
closely cooperate with the UMAP workshops chairs to finalize the above
mentioned details.
