-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ECIS 2016 Call for Papers - Big Data, Business Analytics and Decision Support Datum: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 22:38:12 +1300 Von: Nazim Taskin <nazimtaskin(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers 24th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2016), 12-15 June, 2016, Istanbul/Turkey Track: Big Data, Business Analytics and Decision Support Submission Deadline: November 27th, 2015 Track Description With the emergence of Big Data and Analytics in recent years, business decision-makers and government policy-makers are increasingly turning to Big Data and Analytics for insight to solve complex problems. Needless to say, in this day and age, the success of businesses relies heavily on the accuracy and the timeliness of the decisions made by their managers. Often called evidence based management, which is driven by Big Data and Analytics, has much to offer to businesses and government agencies to succeed in their challenging endeavours. In addition to its promises, Big Data also raises new challenges for both practitioners and academics. Big Data is not just “big”. The sheer volume of the data is only one of many challenges that are often associated with Big Data, the others include variety, velocity, veracity, variability, and value proposition, among others (Jagadish et al., 2014; McAfee & Brynjolfsson, 2012; O'Leary, 2013; Sathi, 2012). While advances in hardware and software are helping, there still are many more challenges to characterize and to tackle in order to realistically leverage the promises of Big Data and Analytics to solve complex real-world problems. Big Data by itself, regardless of the size, type, or accumulation speed, is worthless unless business users do something with it that delivers value to their organizations. That’s where “big” analytics comes into the picture. Although organizations have long run reports and dashboards against their transactional data repositories (under the names of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing), most have not utilized unstructured (or less structured) data repositories for in-depth and on-demand explorations. This is partly because analysis tools either did not have the capabilities or the data repositories did not have the richness that the power users needed. But this phenomenon is about to change (and had already changed for some) in a dramatic fashion; thanks to the new Big Data and Analytics paradigms. This track invites paper submissions that address acquisition, storage, analysis, inference of Big Data and its implication/incorporation into business process, behaviours, and decision-making practices. We are particularly interested in those philosophical approaches, research methodologies, and managerial/practical implications/applications that provide novel insight into Big Data and Analytics as they relate to managerial decision making. This research track encourages submission of new and novel theoretical, applied, pedagogical, behavioural, design science, data analysis methods/methodologies, as well as best practice that focus on data mining, text mining, statistical analysis, econometrics, Web mining, social analytics and sentiment analysis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Big data and emerging research philosophies and methodologies • Big data and new individual and group decision-making techniques and opportunities • The impact of big data on the traditionally prominent methodological approaches to IS studies • The classic philosophical/methodological approaches and the emerging field of big data • How the methodologies, analytical approaches and techniques may vary depending on the business decision-making levels; i.e. strategic, tactical, and operational • Social networks and big data • Modelling big data • How business strategy-formulating and government policy-making can benefit from big data • Big data velocity and decision-making • Big data and its impact on DSSs, Expert systems (new forms such as recommender systems), etc. • Implications of big data in making strategic, tactical, and operational decisions • Real time analysis • Implications for decision-making at the individual and organizational levels • Querying and interpreting unstructured data; such as text analytics and sentiment analysis • Integral real time analysis of structured and unstructured data • Integral visualization of structured and unstructured data • Use of big data and business models • Developing, using, managing decision support systems Track Link: http://ecis2016.eu/files/downloads/Tracks/T02.pdf Submission Link: http://precisionconference.com/~ecis Track Chairs Nazim Taskin, School of Management, Massey University, New Zealand, n.taskin(a)massey.ac.nz Dursun Delen, Spears School of Business, Oklahoma State University, USA, dursun.delen(a)okstate.edu Ali Intezari, School of Management, Massey University, New Zealand, a.intezari(a)massey.ac.nz _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CAISE 2016 Call for papers Datum: Mon, 9 Nov 2015 19:45:40 +0100 Von: Rebecca Deneckere <Rebecca.Deneckere(a)univ-paris1.fr> ------------------------------------ CAISE 2016 Call for papers ------------------------------------ The 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2016) will be organized on 13-17 June 2016, in Ljubljana (Slovenia). Details can be found at: http://caise2016.si/ **************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: 30th November 2015 Notification of acceptance: 16th February 2016 Camera-ready of all papers: 25th March 2016 **************************************************** Theme: Information systems for connecting people Information systems are developed by people and for people. The theme “Information systems for connecting people” emphasizes the wish to satisfy the needs and requirements of people, both as individuals and as parts of organizations, which are socio-technical systems. In particular, this theme emphasizes the role of information systems in communication among individuals, organisational units, and organizations themselves. It may also imply knowledge building and knowledge sharing, all kinds of decision making, negotiating and reaching agreements, bridging differences and distances among various points-of-view, perspectives, positions and/or cultures. Information systems that satisfy these are usually communication and cooperation-intensive systems. Examples include, on the individual side, collaborative applications and social networks, and on the organizational side, globalization and interoperability support, inter-organizational processes, enterprise computing, social computing, and more. The sociality is also a new paradigm when applied to information systems. Developing such systems requires a good understanding of (i) how an individual operates, (ii) how the intentions and goals of an individual can be aligned with the organizational ones, (ii) how individual capabilities as well as limitations are represented and taken into account or alleviated in system design. Combined with state-of-the-art technology, this understanding will guide the development of next generation information systems. We believe that those principles will challenge and question research efforts in information systems engineering during the next decade and will also nurture multi-disciplinary research. Research related to this theme can address all life-cycle phases of information systems that connect people, from human and organizational requirements to utilization of data created by such systems. **************************************************** Topics for submissions include (but are not limited to): New Generation IS Engineering - Context-aware and adaptive management - Agile enterprise models and architecture - Distributed, mobile and open architecture - IS for collaboration - Social computing - High volume and complex information management, big data - Open data management - Quality of IS models and design - IS for idea flow - Visualization in IS - Intelligent, sustainable and viable IS - Service science and innovation - Ergonomic architectures and design Models, Methods and Techniques in IS Engineering - Conceptual modeling, languages and design - Requirements engineering - Business process modeling, analysis, and engineering - Models and methods for evolution and reuse - Domain engineering methods - Mining, monitoring, and predicting - Variability and configuration management - Compliance and alignment handling - Method engineering - Actor driven IS engineering Architectures and Platforms in and for IS Engineering - Cloud-based IS engineering - Service oriented IS engineering - Multi-agent IS engineering - Multi-platform IS engineering - Integrated architectures and virtualization - Internet of services - Internet of things Domain Specific IS Engineering - IT governance - eGovernment and public sector - Intellectual heritage - City management - Industrial ecology management - IS for healthcare - Educational IS - Value and supply chain management - Cyber-physical systems - Industry 4.0 Multi-aspect IS - Sustainability and social responsibility management - Enterprise capability management - Decision support - Security and safety management - Data and knowledge intelligence - Organizational learning - Creativity and innovation - Workflow management - ERP and COTS - Content management and semantic Web **************************************************** Author Guidelines Types of contributions We invite four types of original and scientific papers: - Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential – or, even better, the evaluated – benefits of the contribution. - Empirical evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. - Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The focus is on ‘what’ and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of ‘why’. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. - Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to addressing the identified situation. Submission Conditions Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer’s LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract. The type of paper (technical/empirical evaluation/experience/exploratory paper) should be indicated in the submission. Submission is done through CyberChair (see http://caise2016.si/) **************************************************** Publication Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE ’16 and published in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors elected best papers from the conference will be invited to submit an expanded version for publication in the journal, Information Systems. -- *Rébecca Deneckere* Bureau C1407 Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Centre de Recherche en Informatique 90 Rue de Tolbiac - 75013 Paris - France _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

With consumer devices and high-end systems becoming increasingly powerful, stencil computations are playing an increasingly important role in research and in applications alike. Today, real-world stencil codes are often hand-tuned which requires a huge amount of engineering effort given the variety of stencil codes in use. Therefore, simplifying the task of constructing stencil codes that deliver high performance has become an important topic in research. HiStencils is a workshop focusing on stencil computations from embedded environments to exascale computing and advanced software technology needed to simplify the construction of stencils codes delivering high performance. HiStencils is intended to bring together researchers, students and practitioners dealing with, among others, performance optimization, code generation and software technology for stencil computations. We encourage submissions describing preliminary results, new ideas, position papers, experience reports, and available tools, with an aim to stimulate discussions, collaborations, and advances in the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - performance optimization of stencil computations - auto-tuning and machine learning for stencil codes - software technology for stencil computations - stencil code generation for GPUs, accelerators and distributed systems - stencil applications in embedded systems - hardware/high-level synthesis for stencil codes - harnessing stencil computations for exascale performance - static analysis and verification of stencil codes - theoretical aspects of stencil computations - multigrid stencil methods - tool demonstration SUBMISSION: Submissions should not exceed 8 pages (recommended 6 pages) formatted as per ACM proceedings format. Please use the "tighter alternate style" (option 2) available from http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates Submissions should be in PDF format and printable on US Letter or A4 sized paper.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] ECIS 2016 CfP: Track covering knowledge management, business intelligence and big data topics Datum: Mon, 9 Nov 2015 07:48:13 +0000 Von: Prof. Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************************************** 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 Track Chairs: ============= Markus Bick, ESCP Europe Wirtschaftshochschule Berlin, Germany, mbick<at>escpeurope.eu Barbara Dinter, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany, barbara.dinter<at>wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de Stefan Smolnik, University of Hagen, Germany, Stefan.Smolnik<at>FernUni-Hagen.de (Primary Contact) Associate Editors: ================== Sule Balkan, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan Geneviève Bassellier, McGill University, Canada Ulrike Baumoel, University of Hagen, Germany Mustafa Baydogan, Bogaziçi University, Turkey Elsa Cardoso, ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal Yu-Wei Chuang, National Central University, Taiwan Tingting Rachel Chung, Chatham University, USA Katharina Ebner, University of Hagen, Germany Adir Even, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel Kelly J.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST) - Special Issue On: Decision-Making Support Systems for Supporting Quality Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions Datum: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 21:36:13 +0100 Von: jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de *Call for Papers: International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST)* *Special Issue On: Decision-Making Support Systems for Supporting Quality Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions* Submission Due Date 3/31/2016 * Guest Editors* Dr. Manuel Mora, Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, Mexico Dr. Jorge Marx Gómez, University of Oldenburg, Germany Dr. Fen Wang, Central Washington University, USA Dr. Michael Raisinghani, Texas Woman’s University, USA * Introduction* In the modern world of knowledge economy, the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in increasing and sustaining the country competitiveness (Schleicher, 2006). HEIs, both public and private ones, are also not exempt from the market forces and governmental pressures for being more efficient and effective (CEE, 2003; Dumond & Johnson, 2013). The general aim on high quality educational services provision is now mandatory for any HEI around the globe. To assess and stimulate high quality educational services in HEIs, national and international regulator agencies have elaborated standards and guidelines on quality of education (Doherthy, 1997; ENQA, 2005). Consequently, HEIs are encouraged to satisfy and fulfill such expected nationwide and international regulations. Given this situation, top managers from HEIs face the challenge of leading their organizations toward the achievement and compliance of such educational quality regulations. As Tsinidou et al. (2010, pp. 227) pointed out: “Universities have realized that their long-term survival depends on how good their services are and that quality sets one university apart from the rest”. HEIs, thus, are implementing Quality Management Systems (QMS) (ISO, 2005; 2007; Bae, 2007). In particular, decision making is a core activity performed in the QMS because of the strong positive or negative consequences from adequate or inadequate decisions made in HEIs. Decision-making activity can be defined as the managerial process of framing a decision-making situation, designing a decision model with a set of courses of action and evaluation criteria, evaluating such a set against the evaluation criteria for selecting the most adequate course of action, and implementing it, and learning from its outcomes and its process (Forgionne et al., 2009). Given the inherent difficulty of carrying out a decision-making process manually, this process has been vastly supported by special computer-based applications called Decision-Making Support Systems (DMSS) (Mora et al., 2002). In general, DMSS have been widely used in domains such as financial, healthcare, military, and politics among many others (Mora et al., 2002). Furthermore, several well-structured DMSS development methodologies and DMSS maturity models have been reported in the literature (Mora et al., 2011; El-Gayar et al., 2011). However, in the particular domain of QMS for HEIs, its utilization has been scarcely reported (Mustafa & Goh, 1996; Ho et al., 2006). Hence, under this managerial context of HEI’s, our aim is to raise awareness on the worldwide HEI top management community, as well as on the value that DMSS can provide to HEIs. Simultaneously, this CFP is a call for DMSS research community for addressing the challenges and opportunities in the HEI QMS domain. * References* Bae, S. (2007).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: 12th International ACM Sigsoft Conference on the Quality of Software Architectures Datum: Sun, 8 Nov 2015 17:05:25 +0000 Von: Heinrich, Robert (IPD) <robert.heinrich(a)kit.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ============================================= QoSA 2016 12th International ACM Sigsoft Conference on the Quality of Software Architectures Venice, Italy, April 5-8, 2016 http://www.softwarearchitecture.org/ Federated Events of CompArch 2016 collocated with WICSA 2016 - 13th Working IEEE / IFIP Conference on Software Architecture ============================================= GOALS and SCOPE The goal of QoSA (Quality of Software Architectures) is to address the quality aspects of software architecture, focusing broadly on its quality characteristics and how these relate to the design of software architectures. Specific issues of interest are defining and modelling quality measures, evaluating and managing architecture quality, linking architecture to requirements and implementation, and preserving architecture quality throughout the system lifetime. QoSA is the premier forum for the presentation of new results in the area of software architecture quality. It brings together researchers, practitioners and students who are concerned with software architecture quality in a holistic way. As a working conference QoSA has a strong practical bias, encompassing research papers, industrial reports and invited talks from renowned speakers. This year the main theme of QoSA is “Architecting for Deployability”. Building software systems in a service-oriented manner and using cloud environments promises many benefits, however, raises new challenges for software architecture by increased complexity and fragility during operation. These rapidly changing systems require collaboration between software developers and operators, a strong integration of building, evolving and operating activities, as well as architectures which satisfy deployability as quality attribute in heterogeneous contexts. In this year's QoSA we particularly solicit contributions that explore the various implications of these upcoming architectures. This includes reference architectures, software architectures adapting at run time, architecture styles and patterns to foster deployability, as well as approaches exploring other critical quality properties, such as performance, reliability, security, safety, maintainability, and usability. At the same time, submissions related to the general topic of the conference are welcome. ============================================= TOPICS Topics of interest for the conference include (but are not limited to) the following themes: Architecture Design and Implementation - design alternatives, trade-offs, and their influence on the quality of software architecture - adapting software architectures to address changes in software and its environment - architectural refactoring and its implications for quality - architectural standards and reference architectures - model-driven methods and tools for architecture design and implementation - architecture patterns and styles improving various quality attributes Architecture Evaluation - empirical validation, testing, prototyping and simulation for assessing architecture quality - performance, reliability, maintainability, security and other quality attribute evaluations - methods and processes for evaluating architecture quality (also in presence of the change) - model-driven evaluation of software architecture quality - evaluating the effects of architectural adaptations at run-time - lessons learned and empirical validation of theories and frameworks on architecture quality - quality assessment of legacy systems and third party applications Architecting for Deployability - methods and tools for architecture instrumentation and monitoring - run-time architecture modelling and analysis - architectures supporting DevOps concepts - methods and processes for adaptation and evolution of architectures - architectures for self-adapting software-intensive system Architecture Management - assessment and enforcement of architectural conformance throughout the software lifecycle - traceability of software architecture to requirements and implementation - models and tools for coping with software architecture evolution ============================================= IMPORTANT DATES Abstracts due: January 11, 2016 Full papers due: January 18, 2016 Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2016 Camera-ready due: March 1, 2016 ============================================= TYPES of SUBMISSIONS We solicit two types of submissions: regular papers and position papers. - Regular papers should describe original and significant results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, or experimental research or of experience from industrial practice. Reflecting the practical emphasis of QoSA, papers showcasing applications along with a sound conceptual contribution are welcome. Regular papers are limited to 10 pages. - Position papers describe novel ideas or innovative proposals whose aim is to stimulate discussion related to experiences and ideas, rather than to present mature results. Position papers are limited to 6 pages. Papers should follow the standard IEEE format for conference proceedings (alternate style) and submitted online via the EasyChair Conference Management System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qosa2016 ============================================= ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Program Chairs Jan Bosch (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden) Robert Heinrich (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany) Comparch 2016 General Chairs Vittorio Cortellessa (University of L'Aquila, Italy) Luciano Baresi (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) ============================================= _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
