The game of darts was in full swing. An idea popped â how interesting would it be to organize a Business Information Technology conference at a location where traditionally such conferences never venture to be. Very quickly New Delhi as a location was suggested. An email was sent to Professor Gordon Davis at the University of Minnesota to be the inaugural keynote speaker. And without much ado, we had an event at our hands. Professor Rekha Jain of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad became the local organizing chair. In years to come the conference grew from strength to strength and events were organized in South Africa, Egypt, Ecuador, Mexico among other places. For the past few years though,Â BITWorldÂ was co-hosted with CITED in Nigeria, CoDE in Thailand and China and CISTM in India. The next event is being decoupled from the co-hosts and will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada on*Â May 19-21, 2015*. We look forward to carrying forward a rich tradition ofÂ BITWorldÂ events in 2015 and beyond.Â BITWorldincludes a full program of papers, presentations, keynotes and publishing events, and aspires to bring together academics, researchers and practitioners from all over theÂ worldÂ to engage in dialogue and exchange ideas on the latest developments and challenges in Information Technology. *Scope and Aims* The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in studying and discussing a range of leadership challenges as these might relate to their particular businesses and industry. Such dialogue will facilitate the development of agendas for further research and development. We invite you to consider submitting your research papers, workshop or tutorial proposals for consideration. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Big Data and analytics - Leading technical teams through organizational change - Key issues in managing IT related change - IT Leadership development theories and practices - Developing and sustaining IT competencies - Identifying future IT leaders - Challenges in aligning IT and business - Gaining strategic advantages from IT - Strategic planning for IT - Governance practices in IT - Applications of Systems Theory to business ITÂ - Managing the IT functionÂ for business value - The influence of politics and culture on IT decisions *Submission Details:Â * Participation can be in the following categories (but not limited to): Industry Participants:Â If you have an interesting story to share we welcome your participation.

A fundamental principle of both process orientation and value co-creation is to span boundaries within and across organizations. For boundary spanning, organizations, employees and customers (or people in general) rely on information systems as well as related techniques, models and methods. In today’s world, boundaries are becoming increasingly dynamic. On the one hand, inter- and intra-organizational boundaries blur as people engage with each other in social media or other virtual communities. Organizations utilize web-based platforms with externals, e.g., in order to gather ideas for innovations from their customers and to streamline operations with business partners. Looking at the internal of the organization, employees are expected to participate actively in business process management (e.g., in terms of Social BPM), knowledge management and organizational learning in order to create customer value and, of course, increased corporate revenue. On the other hand, new boundaries can also emerge through the use of information systems in the process of creating customer value. Reasons for this are manifold, including digital connections that do not work instantaneously due to incompatible information systems, work practices that are not synchronized, and diverging organizational cultures. This mini-track intends to serve as a platform for research on the intersections between business process management, knowledge management and organizational learning, taking a boundary spanning perspective. We invite contributions from various disciplines including information systems, information management, organization, science, computer science and management science. Interdisciplinary research that connects the aforementioned areas is also welcome. We encourage papers applying a wide variety of methodologies, including quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science.

Call for PhD Symposium The ER 2015 PhD Symposium is one of the leading opportunities for PhD students conducting research in the area of conceptual modeling to present and critically reflect on their research directions, plans and activities. The Symposium will bring together PhD students with international mentors who are researchers from the ER community. The symposium will offer PhD students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in a constructive and collegial atmosphere. Prominent researchers in the field of conceptual modeling will attend the symposium and mentor the participant students. The symposium is co-located with the ER 2015 conference and will take place during the ER Conference (likely a half-day event). The symposium language is English. The symposium is designed to provide PhD students with feedback on their plan for their research. An ideal participant in the symposium is a PhD student who has settled on a specific research proposal, investigated the state-of-the-art in the field, identified his or her approach and expected contributions, and has preliminary results. Thus, PhD Symposium participants should be at least one year into their program but have enough time remaining before submitting their dissertation so that they can benefit from the feedback that they receive at the symposium. The technical scope of the PhD Symposium is the same as that of ER 2015. Important Dates * Proposals: April 5th, 2015 * Notification: May 5th, 2015 * Author registration: June 15th, 2015 Submission Guidelines Students who would like to participate in the PhD Symposium must submit a short paper describing their doctoral work.

Extensive research and development in the past few years has pushed SOC technology into state-of-the-art applications in emerging areas such as Internet-of-Things (IoTs), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), as well as mobile and enterprise systems. However, many of the critical components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric, cloud-based service-oriented architecture applications and systems are still open for research. Hence, it is time to face new service-oriented architecture (SOA) research opportunities by addressing new research challenges on emerging applications domains like smart cities, smart logistics, smart factories and e-Health, to mention only a few. Many of the service components are deployed on resource limited embedded systems and are performance sensitive; others are deployed on cloud servers providing highly parallel services and on edge servers in the middle of resource-limited systems and high-end servers. These components are part of complex applications and systems that span multiple execution environments. Their capabilities are increasingly being managed and (re)configured via emerging software-defined and elasticity mechanisms. In addition, they have to interact with humans in order to solve complex problems. Thus, on the one hand, SOC may provide effective solutions for managing the ever-increasing complexity while meeting the challenging requirements of services on largely distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource environments. On the other hand, the exploitation of emerging trends in such environments to build SOC applications and systems for large-scale service-based systems is an open research challenge. The 2015 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2015) provides an international forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to exchange and share their experiences, ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of service-oriented computing.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Workshop at ERF15: Improving Robotics MDE with Knowledge Engineering Datum: Sat, 31 Jan 2015 23:35:07 +0100 Von: Andreas Wortmann <wortmann(a)se-rwth.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR WORKSHOP SUBMISSIONS AND PARTICIPATION MDKE 2015 Workshop on Model-Driven Knowledge Engineering Wednesday, March 13, 2015 (Vienna, Austria) http://se-rwth.de/mdke15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In robotics, developers with different backgrounds and focuses work together. Nowadays robotic systems consist of a particular hardware platform with a specific software architecture. Knowledge about sensor interaction, constraints, and further information is encoded within the architecture. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) already impacts other fields, but widely applicable and accepted approaches in robotics have yet to emerge. Improving re-use and modularity of robotics applications requires modeling the implicit knowledge encapsulated in current robotics modules and models explicitly. Applying Knowledge Engineering (KE) to model-driven robotics will ease reuse and enable more efficient robotics software engineering. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different fields: On the one hand languages and tools for MDE have been developed, on the other hand robotics systems consist of an increasing amount of heterogeneous software which contains new exploitable knowledge about their properties and composition. Demands on robotics software regarding reusability, reliability, expandability, and efficiency are very high, hence suitable modeling techniques are required to achieve high quality software products. This workshop provides a platform for presentation of novel approaches to tackle these challenges by means of MDE and KE and how they reduce development cost and time. The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited to: - Integration of knowledge engineering with architecture and deployment modeling - Composition of modules and components with the help of knowledge engineering - Modeling languages for knowledge engineering - Toolchains for the knowledge-aware modeling of robotic applications - Applications of knowledge engineering to models at run-time and self-* properties - Knowledge-Driven model transformation between languages and frameworks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paper Submission and Publication ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We invite you to submit an extended abstract of your work for presentation. Extended abstracts may be around 1000 words, may include figures and references, and should be submitted in LNCS format via EasyChair (https://sselab.de/lab2/public/wiki/MDKE15/) at the latest on February 21, 2015. Submissions will be reviewed for quality and relevance by a program committee. We welcome contributions describing theoretical or applied results, best practices, and preliminary results. Authors of accepted submissions will present their contribution at the workshop. Submitting an abstract is no prerequisite to participate in workshop or discussion sessions. The workshop results will be published at RWTH Open Access publication server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February, 21: Submission deadline for extended abstracts March, 01: Notification of acceptance March, 13: Workshop date ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Organizers - Ulrike Thomas, German Aerospace Center (DLR e.V.) - Klas Nilsson, Lund Institute of Technology - Bernhard Rumpe, RWTH Aachen University - Andreas Wortmann, RWTH Aachen University -- Lehrstuhl Software Engineering Ahornstr. 55, 52074 Aachen, Germany Phone +49 241 80-21301-02 / Fax -22218 RWTH Aachen University http://www.se-rwth.de _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
