We are no longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic, and we tend to consider both the organizational and technical aspects of information protection to be equally important. The European Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues. The European Security Conference facilitates interactions amongst researchers and practitioners in the field of security, assurance and privacy in Europe and beyond. We hope to facilitate discussions and build a community of interest. The Conference welcomes diverse views of managing security and privacy. These may range from being very technical to socio-organizational, and the intention is to develop informed insights into the socio-technical nature of security problems. The 2015 European Security Conference is scheduled for June 1-2, 2015, in Lisbon, Portugal. The Conference is the European extension of the Annual Security Conference that has been held in Las Vegas (USA) for over a decade. The conference attracts a nice mix of participants from academia, government and industry. Organizers for the 2015 event is ISEG, University of Lisbon (Portugal). Conference theme for 2015 is: *Security in the Internet of Things* *Scope and Aims* Security, assurance and privacy challenges are abound. Advances in information and communication technologies have brought many security problems to the fore. Such problems may be technical in nature or organizationally grounded. Whatever be the nature and scope of the security problems, there is a need to engage in discourses pertaining to security, assurance and privacy. To that effect we welcome participation in the European Security Conference. Topic areas covered in the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Cyber security in specific sectors (healthcare, banking, government etc) - Cyber terrorism - Digital forensics - Electronic espionage - Ethical and legal aspects of security - Intrusion detection and prevention - IT audit and control - Risky habits risky behaviors - Security and BYOD - Security breaches and data analytics - Security governance - Security in social media and online communities - Security policies - Socio-technical aspects of security - System vulnerabilities and risk exposure - Technology enabled crime *Submission Details: * Participation can be in the following categories (but not limited to): Industry Participants: If you have an interesting story to share we welcome your participation.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] MESOCSA 2015 - Call for Papers! Datum: Sat, 2 May 2015 13:07:41 +0000 Von: Ali Babar <ali.babar(a)adelaide.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): Ali Babar <ali.babar(a)adelaide.edu.au> CALL FOR PAPERS MESOCA 2015 2015 IEEE 9th International Symposium on the Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented Systems and Cloud-Based Environments Co-located with the 31st IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME 2015), Bremen, Germany BACKGROUND Two important areas substantially influence software development in today’s global environment: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Cloud Computing. From a maintenance and evolution perspective, SOA is confronted with two important challenges: deployed service-oriented systems will have to be maintained and evolved, and legacy systems will continue to use service-orientation to make their legacy functionality available to other systems and applications. Cloud computing brings additional challenges such as privacy, security and lock-in, and offers the developer many deployment choices: private, public or hybrid deployments. On the other vein, Service Oriented Architectures and Cloud Computing also offer extensive support to analyze, maintain, and evolve legacy systems. Services defining fundamental functionality in e.g. reverse engineering, software analysis, and quality improvement can be orchestrated to provide reasonable and adaptive tool chains. SYMPOSIUM GOALS The main goal of MESOCA 2015 is to create a focal point and an ongoing forum for researchers and practitioners to share results and open issues in the areas of maintaining and evolving service-oriented and cloud-based systems or applying these techniques to software maintenance and evolution. We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all topics related to migration, maintenance, and evolution of service-oriented systems and cloud-based systems/environments including service and cloud oriented tool support. These include, but are not limited to: * Tools, techniques and methods to support migration to service-oriented architecture and cloud computing environments Tools, techniques and methods to support maintenance and evolution of service-oriented architecture and cloud computing systems * Tools, techniques and methods applying service oriented and cloud-based systems to software evolution * Evolution patterns of service-oriented and cloud-based systems * Transition patterns to service-oriented and cloud environments * Governance to support system evolution in service-oriented and cloud environments * Leverage of service-orientation best practices in cloud environments * Process models on the migration to service-oriented and cloud-based systems and/or on the maintenance of service-oriented and cloud-based systems * Case studies of migration to service-oriented and cloud environments * Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) for migration to SOA and cloud * Reengineering, identifying, and extracting legacy code for creating services and their implementation * Large-scale testing for service-oriented and cloud-based systems * Methods, tools and techniques to measure and ensure the Quality of Services in cloud-deployed systems * Methods, tools and techniques to achieve adaptation and automation in cloud-deployed systems We are soliciting two types of papers, as follows: * Full papers (up to 8 pages). Full papers can be research, evaluation or experience reports. Research papers describe novel and original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual); evaluation papers evaluate or validate existing tools and methods through empirical studies, case studies, simulations, etc.; experience papers present experiences and challenges encountered in practice. * Short papers (up to 4 pages). Short papers can be position/vision papers that describe novel research positions, targets or approaches that go beyond current research and practice. PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed (single blind) by at least three program committee members. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings that will be published in the MESOCA 2015 proceedings, which will be available at the IEEE Digital Library. Papers must be formatted in the IEEE Transactions style (as described here: http://www.icsme.uni-bremen.de/formatting.php and must be submitted online via EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mesoca2015.

Fwd: [WI] CfP: "Critical and participatory development of people centered smart learning ecosystems and territories" @Critical Alternative 2015

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: "Critical and participatory development of people centered smart learning ecosystems and territories" @Critical Alternative 2015 Datum: Sat, 02 May 2015 10:30:32 +0200 Von: Carlo Giovannella <mifav(a)roma2.infn.it> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Apologize for unintended cross-mailing ================================================================== Workshop on *"Critical and participatory development of people centered smart learning ecosystems and territories"* @ Critical Alternative 2015 17th August 2015 Aahrus, Denmark http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/critalter2015/ ================================================================== *Important dates:* *** Deadline for submission of position paper: *20th of May, 2015* *** Other important dates: • Notification to the authors: 10th June, 2015 • Camera ready submission: 30th June, 2015 ================================================================== *Introduction and Workshop Goals* Once in 10 years you have the possibility to discuss about current trends in research on computing for quality of life and propose your vision for the future at the decennial Aarhus conference. This time “Critical and participatory development of people centered smart learning ecosystems and territories” has been chosen as one of the themes that are likely to be influential throughout the next decade and offer an agenda for alternatives with computing technologies through new forms of societal and critical engagement. Since 2005 we are assisting to a rush to transform cities into smart cities. At present, however, still doesn’t exist a fully shared definition of smart city: in the understanding of the majority a smart city is a sort of dream-city, i.e. a complex and optimized environment, or eco-system, where it could be desirable to live. This because it promises to preserve and improve the wellbeing of society, exploiting information and communication technologies (ICT) as an infrastructural backbone able to influence and improve key factors like mobility, environment, people, quality of life and governance. However, going beyond the most popular top-down functionalist approach a new vision of regional and city smartness driven by a ‘people in place centered design’ approach is emerging. Not by chance, recently we have assisted to a shift of the meaning ascribed to the adjective ‘smart’ that has incorporated a higher consideration for the centrality of the individuals, their personal characteristics and their expectations, the quality of their experience and their well-being and, as well, for the characteristics of the contexts in which they work and live, to include also the preservation of the environment. In this framework the interaction with the environment is moving from the metaphor “being able to use” towards the metaphor “actively influence and critically build”; individuals are transformed from consumers into “digital enactive” and produce an increasingly amount of “traces” and “artefacts” that actively contribute to the re-definition of places and spaces. It is quite evident that within the development of people centered smart cities the underlying and ubiquitous techno-ecosystems - whose embedded intelligence, sensitivity and responsiveness surround the individuals - challenge the future of the learning ecosystems and call for a critical and participatory redefinition of spaces, contents, processes, skills and benchmarking approaches. Such challenge is not just for researchers or teachers, but requires the involvement of all potential stakeholders to develop critically the mediation role of ICT to: • foster awareness about complexity and its government (orchestration) • support the acquisition of appropriate behaviors, skills & competencies • promote open access to space, tools, services, practices, content/data, people/skills • tame discontinuities (time - space/place - technological - process - learning practices) • identify the driving factors of the smartness including those from the characteristics of local cultures and contexts • support policy and decision making • promote social innovation & learning, capacity building and a sustainable economy • develop adequate monitoring and benchmarking approaches • tame privacy, data control, security and safety ================================================================== *About position papers and authors* According to the expectations of the Critical Alternatives conference we invite submissions from authors who understand themselves in line with the spirit of the Aarhus Conferences and with that of the workshop. Submitted position papers, while academically sound, will be evaluated on the capability to: • inspire the workshop agenda • offer a strong contribution to theory and practice • provide new perspectives and offer critical alternatives • have potential for long lasting impact Position papers should be maximum 10 pages long and formatted in LNCS style. Papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing process (done by invited reviewers from the program committee) that are complemented by a meta-review (done by a primary reviewer/PC member). Submission and review process will be handled by Easychair: *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=slet2015 * To promote discussion we intend to limit the number of accepted contributions to 20-25 people. /Proceedings/ After the workshop, authors of selected contributions will be invited to prepare a revised and extended paper to be included as part of a focus section of Interaction Design and Architecture(s) (IxD&A); an IxD&A slot has been reserved for the first half of 2016 http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php The focus session will be integrated with high quality papers submitted following an open call for papers that will be launched on late Autumn 2015. ================================================================== /Program Committee/ • Alberto Abella, Rey Juan Carlos University Madrid • Nel Andre, School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - University of Johannesburg • Diana Andone, Politehnica University of Timisoara • Nikolaos Avouris, Electrical & Computer Engineering Department - University of Patras • Josep Blat, Universitat Pompeu Fabra • Rosa Bottino, ITD - CNR • Mihai Dascalu, University Politehnica of Bucharest • Bertrand David, LIRIS - CNRS • Vincenzo Del Fatto, Free University of Bolzano/Bozen • Paloma Diaz Perez, Instituto de Cultura y Tecnologia - Universidad Carlos III de Madrid • Ines Di Loreto, TechCICO Lab, UTT - CNRS • Monica Divitini, IDI - NTNU • Karl Donert, Eurogeo • Paul Held, Innovation in Learning Institute - Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg • Mohamed Jemni, Ecole Supèrieure des Sciences et Techniques de Tunis • Marco Kalz, Welten Institute - Open University NL • Alke Martens, University of Rostock • Viktoria Pammer-Schindler, Know-Center Graz • Elvira Popescu, University of Craiova • Fernando Ramos, Department of Communication and Art - University of Aviero • Giuseppe Roccasalva, Department of Architecture and Design - Polytechnic of Turin • Chiara Rossitto, Dept. of Computer and Systems Science - Stockholm University • Stefania Spina, Dip.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP - Teilkonferenz "IT-Beratung im Kontext digitaler Transformation" im Rahmen der MKWI 2016 Datum: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 15:28:59 +0000 Von: Nissen Volker Prof. Dr. TU Ilmenau <volker.nissen(a)tu-ilmenau.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *Call for Papers: Teilkonferenz "IT-Beratung im Kontext digitaler Transformation" im Rahmen der MKWI 2016 in Ilmenau* http://www.mkwi2016.de Leitung Prof. Dr. Thomas Deelmann, BiTS Iserlohn Prof. Dr. Paul Drews, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg Prof. Dr. Volker Nissen, Technische Universität Ilmenau Inhalt Das Angebot von und die Nachfrage nach Unternehmensberatungsleistungen sind in den vergangenen Jahren deutlich angestiegen. Das Marktwachstum hat das Wachstum anderer Branchen deutlich übertroffen. Unternehmensberatungen werden in Umfragen unter Studierenden und Berufseinsteigern zu den beliebtesten Arbeitgebern gezählt. Dieser positiven Einschätzung wird aber regelmäßig auch Kritik an der Branche oder einzelner Branchenvertreter entgegengestellt. Auch das Marktvolumen des Beratungsfeldes der IT-Beratung ist nach Einschätzungen von Marktbeobachtern in den letzten Jahren gewachsen. Im Intrasektorenvergleich zeigt sich aber, dass der Anteil der IT-Beratung am gesamten Marktvolumen zurückgegangen ist. Während 1998 noch gut 40% des Gesamtmarktes auf IT-Beratung entfiel, waren es 2004 nur noch knapp 30% und seit 2014 nur noch gut 20%. Demgegenüber zeichnen sich gesellschaftsweite Digitalisierungs- und Automatisierungstendenzen ab, die geeignet erscheinen, die Nachfrage nach insbesondere IT-Beratungsleistungen überdurchschnittlich anzukurbeln. Für IT-Beratungsunternehmen eröffnen sich damit mindestens Aktionsfelder: Erstens ist im Zuge der Digitalisierung von Dienstleistungen die Frage nach Veränderungen im Kunden-Anbieter-Verhältnis zu stellen. Zweitens verändert die digitale Transformation inhaltlich die Nachfrage auf Kundenseite. Und drittens müssen sich Beratungsunternehmen die Frage stellen, ob und wie sie selber die Digitalisierung und Automatisierung für bzw. auf ihre eigene Geschäftstätigkeit nutzen können und wollen. Zusätzlich zeigt eine Betrachtung von Anbieterstrategien, dass IT-Beratungen regelmäßig versuchen, in das Feld der Strategieberatung einzudringen. Strategieberatungen hingegen wollen in das Feld der Informationstechnologie expandieren. Auch prüfungsnahe Beratungen erweitern ihr Portfolio, nicht selten durch Übernahmen von IT-Beratungen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ergeben sich zahlreiche Herausforderungen und Chancen für IT-Beratungen. Die Teilkonferenz soll – im Sinne des Consulting Research – ein Forum für die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der aktuellen Situation der IT-Beratung bieten. Neben empirischen Arbeiten sind insbesondere auch gestaltungsorientierte Arbeiten in dieser Teilkonferenz willkommen. Dieser Track wird von dem Arbeitskreis Informationsverarbeitungsbezogene Unternehmensberatung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. in Kooperation mit der Gesellschaft für Consulting Research e.V., Bonn, veranstaltet. Er richtet sich sowohl an Forscher und Studierende unterschiedlicher Disziplinen im Umfeld der IT-Beratung als auch an Vertreter aus der Praxis, die in der IT-Beratung aktiv sind oder als Kunden IT-Berater einsetzen. Mögliche Themen für Beiträge * Digitalisierung und Automatisierung von Beratungsdienstleistungen * Konvergenz von Beratungsgeschäftsfeldern, z.B. IT- und Strategieberatung * Trends bei Beratungsnachfrage und -angebot * Aus- und Weiterbildung von Beratern * Professionalisierung von Klienten * IT-Berater als Change-Agents * Methoden der IT-Beratung * Wissensmanagement in IT-Beratungen * Geschäftsprozesse von IT-Beratungen * Potentiale und Limitationen in der Forschung über IT-Beratung Einreichung und Begutachtungsprozess * Beiträge können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: WICSOC 2015: Social Media, Crowdsourcing, and Public Health Datum: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 10:40:17 -0400 Von: Michael Dohan <msdohan(a)lakeheadu.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <http://wicsoc.ncat.edu/> CFP: WICSOC 2015: Social Media, Crowdsourcing, and Public Health Important Dates. - Abstract: March 30 - Submission: April 25 - Acceptance: May 20 - Camera-ready: May 31 http://wicsoc.ncat.edu Social Computing Technologies (SCT) offer users opportunities for connectedness, participation and engagement, collaboration, offering/receiving social support, etc. These applications/systems gather abundance of information that when mined and analyzed will further enrich their services or help researchers understand many different things including social dynamics of people, wisdom of crowd, social construction and sharing of knowledge, etc. As a result, SCT can be leveraged to empower both health professional and citizens. Online Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, QuitNet are increasingly being used for health-related purposes. A 2013 online survey suggests that 59.9% patients used Twitter for increasing knowledge and exchanging advice and 52.3% used Facebook for social support and exchanging advice ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23899831). Novel techniques for information analysis, reuse, and integration are critical to make sense of health-related information. Systematic approaches, design principles, and evaluation strategies need to be researched for developing effective health-related social computing applications. Other challenges in social computing include accommodating privacy, security, and trust expectations of users or separating good information from noise. The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange ideas on the issues and challenges in social computing systems as they relate to health care and public health. We invite research or position papers from researchers and practitioners working in any aspect of social computing with research focus on health, healthcare, or public health. Example topics, but not limited to, include: - Design, modeling, and simulation of socially-aware health technology - Demonstration cases of using existing social media platforms (e.g., twitter, facebook) for health research - Social network analysis for the purpose of understanding or intervening upon health related outcomes - Behavioral intervention implemented through social media platforms - Disease & health management using social media applications - Crowdsourcing health or biomedical research - Public health resource sensing or crowdsourcing of public health resources - In time, in place healthcare information through social media - Design and evaluation of online patient communities with social network features - Healthcare/mHealth Social Networks - Data protection (Privacy, Security, Trust) in healthcare social networks - Empowerment of patients and healthcare professionals - Design and evaluation of social game for health education & awareness - Classification and categorization of health information in social media - Mining of big Data for population health monitoring or intervention - Social computing application for health & wellness management All contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts. Papers should be 4-6 pages (English) in IEEE format, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. Accepted papers will be published as workshop papers in the IEEE IRI conference proceedings. The extended versions of the best papers from the workshop will be considered for journal publications.
