===================================================================
Fourth International Workshop on Security and Forensics in Cyber Space
(SFCS 2016),
In conjunction with 17th International Conference on Distributed
Computing and Networking (ICDCN 2016)
Singapore, January 4-6, 2016
https://sites.google.com/site/sfcs2016/
===================================================================
With the continuous growth of cyber connectivity and the ever
increasing number of applications, remotely delivered services, and
networked systems have required the need for digital security. Today,
more and more government agencies, financial institutions, and
business enterprises are experiencing security incidents and
cyber-crimes, by which attackers could generate fraudulent financial
transactions, commit crimes, perform an industrial espionage, and
disrupt the business processes.
The sophistication and the borderless nature of the intrusion
techniques used during a cyber security incident, have triggered the
need for designing new active cyber defense solutions, and developing
efficient incident response plans. In this context, digital forensics
has emerged as a disciplined science allowing to note and collect
evidences left on the compromised system prior to the incident
occurrence, and carry out an analysis to: (a) understand what
occurred; (b) determine the set of exploited security weaknesses; (c)
trace attackers to their source; (d) study the attackers trends and
motives; and (e) propose a set of optimal countermeasures to stop and
mitigate the effect of the attacks.
The fourth edition of the international workshop on Security and
Forensics in Cyber Space (SFCS 2016) will be held in conjunction with
the 17th International Conference on Distributed Computing and
Networking (ICDCN 2016). The workshop promotes research and innovative
ideas in the realm of cyber security and digital forensics. It
provides a prominent venue for researchers, scientists, engineers and
practitioners to share their thoughts, exchange ideas, and prospect
future and potential axes of collaboration. Papers focusing on any
aspect of the theory and practice of cyber security, defense, and
digital forensics are solicited. A large spectrum of advanced topics
are covered, ranging from anti-forensics detection and recovery, cyber
security and forensic in wireless and mobile communication systems,
multimedia security and forensic content processing, development of
novel theories and techniques of cyber security and forensics analysis
and validation, and forensics in cloud computing and social networks.
The workshop will act as a forum for discussing open issues, and
presenting original and unpublished research results and innovative
ideas in the realm of security and digital forensics. We encourage
contributions describing innovative work in the realm of security and
digital forensics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Formal and theoretical techniques of cyber security and forensics
- Legal and policy issues in cyber security and defense
- Availability, privacy, authentication, trust, access control, and
key management

** apologies for cross-posting **
After discussions with the organizers of LAK2016, we have agreed on a consistent paper deadline for both our co-located conferences. So you now have a little more time to really polish your L@S papers!
Important Dates
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nov 1, 2015 : Full papers due
Dec 14, 2015: Notifications of acceptance of Full Papers: Dec 14, 2015
The conference is at the intersection of computer science and the learning sciences, seeking to improve practice and theories of learning at scale. Strong submissions typically build on relevant research and frameworks beyond a single home discipline. The program committee is multidisciplinary and will expect that contributions expand on the state of the art of several relevant source literature is considered.
Topics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We solicit paper submissions reporting on rigorous research on methodologies, studies, analyses, tools, or technologies for learning at scale. Learning at Scale includes MOOCs, games (including massively multiplayer online games), citizen science communities, and other types of learning environments which (a) provide learning experiences to large number of learners and/or (b) produce detailed, high volume data about the learning process. Papers that tackle specific aspects of scale are particularly encouraged, for example, papers that deal with learning or educational phenomena that can only occur, be supported, or be observed with very large numbers of students, or in which the system improves after being exposed to data from previous use by many students.
Example topics include but are not limited to:
* Usability studies and effectiveness studies of design elements for students or instructors, including:
* Status indicators of student progress
* Status indicators of instructor effectiveness
* Tools and pedagogy to promote community, support learning, or increase retention in at-scale environments
* Log analysis of student behavior, e.g.:
* Assessing reasons for student outcome as determined by modifying tool design
* Modeling students based on responses to variations in tool design
* Evaluation strategies such as quiz or discussion forum design
* Instrumenting systems and data representation to capture relevant indicators of learning.
* Personalization and adaptation, based on log data, user modeling, or choice.
* Studies of applications of existing learning theories to the MOOC context (peer learning, project based learning, etc.).
* Informing theories of learning at scale.
* Large online learning in the developing world
* New tools and techniques for learning at scale, including:
* Games for learning at scale
* Automated feedback tools (for essay writing, programming, etc)
* Automated grading tools
* Tools for interactive tutoring
* Tools for learner modeling
* Interfaces for harnessing learning data at scale
* Innovations in platforms for supporting learning at scale
* Tools to support for capturing, managing learning data
* Tools and techniques for managing privacy of learning data
* Investigation of observable student behaviors and their correlation if any with learning, e.g.:
* What do more successful learners do more of?
* What do more successful instructors do more of?
* Self- and co-regulation of learning at scale
* Collaborative learning in courses that have scale
* Depth and retention of learning and understanding
* Improvements to learning, community, and pedagogy in large-scale in-person and blended online and in-person courses
* Instructional principles for learning at scale
* Facilitation of informal subcommunities
Paper Submissions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite full paper, shorter papers reporting on work-in-progress, and demonstrations.
### Full Papers
Full papers must not exceed 10 pages (shorter is fine) and must use the ACM CHI Archive Format, available in latex[1] and Word[2]. Submissions must be in PDF format, written in English, contain original work and not be under review for any other venue while under review for this conference. All papers should be submitted through the EasyChair.
In order to increase high quality papers and independent merit, the evaluation process will be double blind. The papers submitted for review MUST NOT contain the authors' names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors' identity (this information is to be restored in the camera-ready version upon acceptance). Please replace author names and affiliations with Xs on submitted papers. In particular, in the version submitted for review please avoid explicit auto-references, such as "in [1] we show" -- consider "in [1] it is shown". I.e., you should cite your own relevant previous work, so that a reviewer can access it and see the new contributions, but yet the text should be written so that it does not state that the cited work belongs to the authors.
### Work-in-Progress
A Work-in-Progress (WiP) is a concise report of recent findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work that has not yet reached a level of completion that would warrant submission of a full paper. Topics are the same as those listed for full papers.
At the conference, all accepted WiP submissions will be presented in poster form. Selected WiPs may be invited for oral presentation during the conference. Rejected full-papers can be resubmitted as WiP and will be evaluated accordingly.
Formatting: Work-in-Progress submissions 4 pages or fewer in length in the Extended Abstracts Format[3] and submitted as a PDF file. Due to the very rapid selection process we cannot offer any extensions to the deadline. WiP submissions are not anonymous and should therefore include all author names, affiliations and contact information. If accepted, you should expect to prepare a poster to present at the conference venue. WiP submissions should be submitted through the EasyChair.
### Demonstrations
Demonstrations show aspects of learning at scale in an interactive hands-on form. A live demonstration is a great opportunity to communicate ideas and concepts in a powerful way that a regular presentation cannot. We invite demonstrations of learning and analytical environments and other systems that have direct relevance to learning at scale. We especially encourage authors of accepted papers and industrial partners to showcase their technologies using this format. Demonstration submissions are 2 pages or fewer in length in the Extended Abstracts Format[3] and submitted as a PDF file. A demonstration proposal should address two components:
* The merit and nature of the demonstrated technology. If the proposed demonstration is associated with a Full Paper or a WiP submission, please point to the title of the submission instead of repeating the information here.
* Details of how the demo will be executed in practice, and how visitors will interact with it during the conference.
Proposals for demonstrations should be submitted through the EasyChair.
### Archival Proceedings
Full papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the ACM Press in the ACM Digital Library. Work-in-Progress and Demonstration papers will appear in a separate part of the conference proceedings. The status of Work-in-Progress paper will be akin to what CHI describes as "semi-archival", meaning the results reported in the WIP must be original, but copyright is retained by the authors and the material can be used as the basis for future publications in ACM venues as long as there are significant revisions from the original.
Proceedings from prior years can be accessed here:
* L@S 2014 Proceedings (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2556325).
* L@S 2015 Proceedings (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2724660).
### Submission Instructions
Full Papers and Work in Progress should be submitted at EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=las2016).

DESCRIPTION
Rapid developments in ICT and digitization have brought about tremendous
changes to existing firms practically in all traditional industries,
including retail, travel, and manufacturing, to name a few. The digital
and ICT incumbents, such as Amazon.com and Apple, also need to
constantly re-evaluate and develop their business models in order to
stay ahead of the competition. Furthermore, ICT and digitalization have
also provided new opportunities to digital startups such as Etsy and
Spotify, as well as new e-commerce enterprises such as Zappos or
Zalando. The purpose of this track is to explore new ways of theorizing
and contextualizing IS in this digitized world using the business model
concept (e.g. Hedman and Kalling 2003; Veit et al. 2014).
This track aligns well with the ECIS2016 conference theme “Information
Systems as a Global Gateway” since business model thinking connects and
unites various disciplines, theoretical lenses and methodological
approaches. Full research paper and research-in-progress paper
submissions are encouraged from all theoretical and methodological
perspectives drawing from IS, entrepreneurship, strategic management and
related disciplines.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics include but are not limited to:
- The use of the business model concept by ICT-driven firms
- Innovation of business models through ICT
- Interrelationships of 'fit' between ICT, organization, business model,
and performance
- Industry-specific classification schemes of business models (e.g.
social media business model types)
- Interplay of different business model components and their
configuration (e.g. productmarket fit: Value proposition and customer
needs)
- Business model validation: Novel ICT-driven approaches to validate
hypotheses about different business model components (e.g. A/B tests,
lab and field experiments)
- Evaluation and simulation of new or existing business models
- Development of tools and languages for the description and simulation
of business models
- Modeling the relationship between business models and business process
models
- Development and evaluation of new business models in the era of social
media, sharing economy, smartphones, platform-mediated services on
two-sided/many-sided markets, crowdsourcing, electronic payments (e.g.
Google Wallet), currencies (e.g. Bitcoin) and technologies (e.g. mobile,
social, ...), open data, big data analytics, cloud computing and
software-as-a-service
- Digital transformation of business models from online to mobile world,
from traditional to multichannel/omnichannel world, and from on-premise
to cloud products and services

Call for Papers “Special Issue on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning” (IJTEL), Deadline November 15th, 2015
Awareness and reflection are viewed differently across the disciplines informing technology-enhanced learning (including CSCW, psychology, educational sciences and computer science).
Considering the multitude of views on awareness and reflection distributed over a wide range of disciplines, we are aiming to present a special issue in which answers to the following questions can be found:
* How can awareness and reflection support learning in different settings (work, education, continuing professional development, lifelong learning, etc.)?
* What are the roles that technology can play in these contexts to support awareness and reflection for learning?
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the ARTEL workshops at the European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning<http://www.teleurope.eu/pg/pages/view/388473/>, but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Theoretical discussion of awareness and reflection in TEL and related concepts (e.g. collaborative learning, creativity techniques, experiential learning, etc.)
* Methodologies to identify, study and analyse awareness and reflection in the context of (technology-enhanced) learning (quantitative and qualitative methods, learning analytics, visualisations, etc.)
* Empirical studies about technology support for awareness and reflection
* Technology (design, application, evaluation) supporting awareness and reflection
* Designing awareness and reflection in TEL applications and processes
* Using awareness and reflection support to enhance the learning experience
* Awareness of social context, knowledge, artefacts and processes
* Awareness and reflection in specific contexts, such as higher education, work-integrated learning, learning networks, etc.
We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the IJTEL Special Issue on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning: http://www.inderscience.com/info/ingeneral/cfp.php?id=2965.

The 7th International Conference on Software Business will be held on June 13-14, 2016 at Ljubljana, Slovenia co-located with the 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). The ICSOB 2016 addresses researchers and practitioners, who are involved in software business in different ways including large organizations and startups with focus on different types of software products and services.
Conference Theme: Software as a new way of providing cutting-edge solutions
Advancements in the software industry have had a substantial impact on productivity and GDP growth globally. There is a noticeable spillover within other industries (e.g. manufacturing) enabling new business models. Software business refers to commercial activities in and around the software industry aimed at generating income from the delivery of software products and services.
Although the business of software shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features. It is making it a challenging domain for research. The examples of many successful companies show that software provides unique benefit to its users. Moreover, software has spread all over the world and has permeated in many industries, which are not usual for software. In particular, software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers or a unique experience to their users.
Cross-functional use of software is a challenge for industry and academia, studying not only use of software but also software business, software production, and other surrounding themes. This year the conference intends to attract practitioners and researchers, who are concerned with software business in different ways as well as its introduction to new areas of research and practice. The main theme of 2016 focuses on addressing the challenges that software faces in its application in different business domains.
ICSOB 2016 intends to attract researchers and practitioners who are concerned with software business in different ways. You are invited to submit papers addressing contemporary issues emerging at the intersection of the software and business domains, broadly defined. Both papers reporting research results and industrial experiences are welcome.
We invite to submit research papers on the topics of interest that include, but are not limited to:
Software product management
Software platforms and ecosystems
Corporate networks between companies including software companies
Software business today and in the future
Licensing, intellectual property and patent issues
Business models of software companies
App economy
Impact on megatrends (e.g. customization) on software business
Effects of business models on software development
Global and cultural aspects of software business
Mobile software business trends
Games and gamification
Business models of cloud computing
Software business education
Mergers and acquisition in the software industry
Economics of software companies
We welcome both research and industry papers to the conference. The papers should be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. We are looking for short position and practice papers that provide insights on the lifecycle management of software products and industry case studies as well as full research papers describing novel approaches to software business for software products and services.
We solicit contributions of research papers (up to 15 pages), short papers (up to 8 pages), and experience report papers (up to 15 pages). Short papers can be industrial or emerging ideas. Your submission must conform to the Springer's LNBIP Formatting Guidelines (http://www.springer.com/series/7911). Submit your paper in PDF via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsob2016) Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

CALL FOR PAPERS
24th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2016)
Track: "Knowledge Management"
http://ecis2016.eu/files/downloads/Tracks/T20.pdf
June 12-15, 2016, Istanbul, Turkey (http://ecis2016.eu)
****************************************************************************************************
Deadline for paper submissions: November 27, 2015
=================================================
Track Description:
==================
Many scholars have emphasized the importance of (big) data, information and
knowledge assets for efficient and effective decision support, management,
or leadership. Consequently, business intelligence (BI) and knowledge
management (KM) are essential for organizations’ daily business, directly
influencing competitive advantage and business development in a global
world. In addition to a traditional and isolated organizational focus, BI
and KM are more and more happening in networked environments. Thus, BI and
KM increasingly provide a global gateway to data and information for
people, organizations, societies, and even things by providing technologies
and methods that allow the gathering, preparing, analyzing and
visualization of data or information. Improved communication, optimized
networks, and new business models are examples for the innovative usage of
new and various data sources (such as mobile/sensor/social media data).
This changes the way of interaction and the way corresponding information
and communication technology is used on the individuals’ level, in or
across teams as well as on the organizational level, or even in global
settings.
Extant BI research explores primarily organizational and technological
advances to improve business performance in a continuous and iterative way.
It includes exploratory data analysis techniques to develop new insights
and descriptive techniques which cover ETL, OLAP as well as related
technologies to provide historical, current and predictive views of the
business. However, limited attention has been paid to the individuals’
perspective focusing on personal objectives and characteristics as enabling
or preventing factors to BI utilization. The big data challenge, fueled by
increasing variety, volume and velocity of data, bares large potential for
research and practice by extending existing analytics beyond the
organizations’ borders. New phenomena emerge the same way as new business
models do. Furthermore, the availability of endless computing and storage
capabilities through cloud computing enables new opportunities in providing
a global gateway to information as a service.
KM becomes more and more important in global settings. As organizations and
knowledge-workers are increasingly globally distributed, the need for
efficient management of knowledge-intensive processes is a main challenge.
The influence of geographical dispersion, communication across time zones,
or national/cultural influence factors needs to become a focus issue in
research for the next decade. Particularly, collaboration takes place in
different social or cultural environments. Due to the usage of
collaborative technologies like social software, organizational and
national boundaries become more blurred, and knowledge can be diffused much
easier. Openness and inter-organizational collaboration build the global
pathway of rich and contextualized knowledge sharing activities among
networked persons within and beyond organizational boundaries. Eventually,
in an increasingly globally distributed world, organizations and
knowledge-workers are required to exploit relationships with others and to
gain benefits out of such relationships.
Motivated by the explosion of interest in the emerging fields of big data,
business intelligence and analytics, and knowledge management, this track
traditionally welcomes contributions from both fields: knowledge management
and business intelligence. By that, we promote multidisciplinary
contributions since ECIS 2012 dealing with managerial, economic,
methodological, cultural or technical perspectives. Consequently, we
encourage submissions based on theoretical research, design research,
action research, or behavioral research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
===================================================
* Capturing and sharing knowledge in social networks and distributed
contexts
* Cross-organizational, cross-border and cross-cultural KM
* KM and smart cities
* KM in the cloud
* Support for mature KM solutions: KM governance, KM strategies, KM
maturity models, and KM performance
* Social and behavioral issues in KM
* Mobile technologies and social software usage in KM
* KM and learning
* Knowledge security, protection, and risk management
* Strategic management issues of BI
* Adoption, implementation, routinization and use of BI
* Organizational issues in BI implementation and success
* Descriptive BI, predictive and prescriptive analytics
* Real time data warehousing and operational BI, event-driven BI, business
activity monitoring
* BI’s new frontiers: e.g. social (media) BI, BI in the cloud, BI as a
service
* Applications (e.g. CRM) and success of BI
* Big data driven business model innovation and applications
* Adoption and utilization of big data
* BI for improving process and firm performance
* BI in networks connecting things, people, organizations, and markets
* Architectures, technical and organizational approaches to enable handling
of big data
