-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP uBPM: First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing inBusiness Process Management Datum: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:03:01 +0100 Von: Jan Mendling <jan.mendling(a)wu.ac.at> Antwort an: jan.mendling(a)wu.ac.at An: ipm(a)wu.ac.at, sfb(a)big.tuwien.ac.at, selim.erol(a)tuwien.ac.at Dear colleagues, We are very happy to invite you to contribute and participate in the /First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing in Business Process Management/ (/uBPM/). Please, find all the details of the workshop below. May I ask you to forward the CfP to who may be interested? Thank you very much! Looking forward to your participation! Best regards, Estefanía Serral, Victoria Torres, and Jan Mendling - uBPM Chairs *First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing in Business Process Management (uBPM)*** *July 18-21, Toulouse, France* Co-located with UIC 2016** http://www.pros.upv.es/ubpm2016 Business Process Management (BPM) is the body of methods, techniques and tools to manage the business processes of an organization (i.e., the chains of events, activities, and decisions performed in a coordinated manner) in order to achieve its strategic goals. Although the use of Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) technology has already revolutionized many areas, its application in BPM is still in its infancy. Ubicomp enables computing to appear anytime and everywhere, becoming ‘invisibly’ embedded in physical objects to sense and respond to their surrounding environment. This embedding allows building a bridge between the digital and the physical worlds, which could benefit the BPM field in many ways, e.g.: a) by automating tasks or making them adaptive to each situation; b) by enabling fitness between business processes (BPs) and their execution environment, maintaining the suitability of a process instance through its execution life, c) by providing managers and consumers with up-to-date context information that allows better use of resources, leveraging better and faster decisions; etc. The integration of Ubicomp in BPM is however challenging since it implies the coordination of multiple technologies (sensors, internet, mobiles, electrical appliances, etc.) and different disciplines (Human-computer interaction, context-aware computing, distributed computing, etc.). Therefore, more research and industrial cases are needed to bring BPM to a new whole level, and to make the community understand the benefits and challenges that Ubicomp can bring to BPM and vice versa. The overall goal of the workshop is to look at Ubicomp issues in the BPM field and to discuss the current state of ongoing research, industry needs, future trends, and practical experiences. Practitioners and researchers interested in making ubiquitous business processes a reality are specially welcomed. The workshop will be a one-day, presentation-oriented workshop of both research and industrial papers, and it will start with a keynote and close with a discussions session. *WORKSHOP TOPICS:* The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: *Ubicomp in the BPM Life-cycle:* ·Design/Modelling/Implementation/Deployment/Execution/Monitoring/Optimization of uBPs *Business Process Context:*** ·Which context data are relevant for BPM? ·Should context data be specific for each BPM application domain? Or can it be generalized? ·Potential of context awareness and adaptation in BPM. How context can be used to improve BPM? ·Techniques for analysing context data in BPM ·Modelling of context-adaptive BPs ·Execution and simulation of context-adaptive BPs ·Monitoring context-adaptive BPs ·Verification of context-adaptive BPs ·Mining context-adaptive BPs ·Optimizing BPs using context information ·Integration of context data for being consumed by BPMSs ·Privacy issues of context-awareness in BPMS *Business Process Automation and Industrial Cases:*** ·How can Ubicomp be used to automate activities in BPs? ·How can Ubicomp be used for achieving self-* BPMS? ·In which industrial domains Ubicomp can provide a bigger competitive advantage for BPMS? ·Industrial examples of Ubicomp technologies applied to BPs. ·Ubiquitous BPs for Smart Cities ** *WORKSHOP CHAIRS:* *Estefanía Serral* Leuven Institute for Research on Information Systems (LIRIS) KU Leuven Naamsestraat 69 - box 3555, 3000 Leuven, Belgium.

In the era of automated profiling and electronic surveillance, citizens face a serious threat against their right to privacy and informational self-determination, especially when using the internet and mobile services. The lack of transparency regarding the functionality and interconnection of such services increases the risk of uncontrollable processing of personal data. In this regard, the upcoming Data Protection Regulation will be a useful instrument to protect the privacy of individuals. However, for its successful implementation, this new framework needs to be enforced by proper technologies and encompassed with sustainable business models along with mechanisms to promote privacy awareness and help users to understand the value of their data. ENISA is organizing the 2016 edition of the annual privacy forum, in the light of the upcoming data protection regulation and the European digital agenda. We invite papers covering original work on the technological, economic, legal and societal aspects of the challenges that will come up with the implementation of the new framework. We particularly invite multidisciplinary papers that make it explicit how the presented work can contribute to bridging the gap between research and policy. Moreover, in order to also encourage contributions from policy makers, representatives of competent authorities (such as Data Protection Authorities), industry experts, NGOs and civil society associations, we invite opinion papers from all stakeholders on the above mentioned topics. Opinion papers will reflect the opinion/position of the author(s) on the selected privacy-related topic. ◾Implementation aspects of ‘by design’ and 'by default' paradigms ◾Implementation and adoption of PETs in today’s digital services ◾Modelling of data protection and privacy requirements, such as: machine readable representations and automatic evaluation of policies ◾Enabling transparency: technological and organizational challenges. ◾Technical solutions for the enforcement and the implications of the subject’s right, e.g. right to erasure, access and correction. ◾Aspects of privacy impact and risk assessment ◾Technical solutions for data portability ◾Sustainable business models for privacy friendly online services ◾Information and consent in online environments: practical solutions and implementations ◾Privacy awareness, reliability and usability of PETs ◾Trust services for the protection of personal data - privacy aware trust services (i.e. electronic certificates, signatures, etc.) ◾Security measures for the protection of personal data ◾Economics of privacy and personal data Review and Publication All submissions will be thoroughly reviewed by our PC members. We aim at minimal 3 average 4 reviews per Paper. Furthermore, papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference with a publishing house soon to be selected and announced.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Decision-Making Support Systems for Supporting Quality Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions (special issue in the IJDSST)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Decision-Making Support Systems for Supporting Quality Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions (special issue in the IJDSST) Datum: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:15:00 -0600 (CST) Von: mmora(a)securenym.net An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): MRaisinghani(a)mail.twu.edu, wangfen(a)cwu.edu, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de Calls for Papers (special): 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: March 31, 2016 ! Submission website: http://www.igi-global.com/submission/submit-manuscript/?jid=1120&cfcid=bc97… 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 HEIs, 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).

Wimmer (lead), University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Theresa A. Pardo, Center for Technology in Government, University at Albany, SUNY, USA Yannis Charalabidis, University of Aegean, Greece SCOPE The Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track focuses on supporting public policy making with innovative ICT therewith involving relevant stakeholders. It heavily involves multi-disciplinary research. The scope ranges from policy analysis and conceptual modeling to programming and visualization of simulation models, to help policy makers and stakeholders deliberate and evaluate policy decisions and explore new models of governance. Using computer simulations and decision support systems in developing, examining and explaining public policies has received a strong focus in e-government research for almost a decade. With public policy we refer to decisions of governments, to governmental actions and intentions, to regulatory measures and/or funding priorities concerning a given thematic area of public concern that government is regulating. Public policy making has evolved as a domain of study supporting governments and their constituency with theories, methods, instruments and tools to analytically evaluate the past (causes, impact) and innovatively explore the future (potential effects) of a policy under consideration. Advances in simulation paradigms and in innovative ICT support as well as more active stakeholder engagement and more reliable simulation models have led to expectations of better informed governance and public policy development. The ultimate goal thereby is to make public policy making more transparent, open and collaborative. However, the complexity encompassed with modelling public policies demands that different political, economic, social, human and technical disciplines to work together to leverage the benefits of different approaches of understanding and designing policy. Such efforts require multidisciplinary research and collaboration across disciplines. Yet, disciplinary tradition often keeps researchers working exclusively within their own disciplines developing policy models virtually independent from each other. To fully address these challenges, researchers need to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries, bringing together their knowledge and sharing their expertise within multidisciplinary collaborations. With interdisciplinary research, existing concepts and approaches can be combined in innovative ways to achieve more powerful solutions, which fulfil the demands of more transparent, participative, data-driven and collaborative policy making. Areas of focus and interest include but are not limited to the following topics: • Foundations of policy modelling and policy informatics • Multi-disciplinary research and collaboration across disciplines • Methods, concepts and tools for policy analysis, including data and opinion mining, mapping, simulation, aggregation, and visualisation • Modelling and simulating dynamics of social-environmental interactions • Model building based on particular simulation paradigms and supported with conceptual modelling and simulation systems • Model evaluation, presentation of simulation outputs and interpretation of models • Quality of simulation models, understandability, transparency and trustworthiness of models • Impact assessment and contribution of modelling and simulation to better policy making • Engagement of stakeholders and open collaboration in policy making • Modelling and simulating dynamics of social-environmental interactions • Decision support in the public sector through data- and information-centric and model-based analysis of evidence • Designing, managing, and evaluating information systems and infrastructures for policy construction, analysis, and implementation • Public policy issues including modelling and simulation and use of open data and/or social media • Methods and solutions to manage complexity of public policy contexts • Technology platforms supporting different modelling paradigms and integrating advanced features of mining, modelling and simulating public policy • Comparative analyses of policy cases, concepts of policy modelling etc. • Examples and best practices of innovative, open and collaborative public policy making Besides the Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track, the dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2016 conference also hosts tracks on "electronic government", "electronic participation", "open government and open and big data", and "smart governance, smart government smart cities and smart regions". See http://www.egov-conference.org/ for more details. FORMATS Across its tracks, the dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2016 conference hosts the following formats of contributions: • Completed research papers (max. 12 pages, published in the IFIP ePart proceedings of Springer LNCS) • Ongoing research and innovative projects (max. 8 pages, published in alternate proceedings by a IOS Press) Beyond the tracks, the dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2016 conference also hosts • Poster presentations (max. 2 pages, to be exposed along the welcome reception on Tuesday evening) • Workshops and panels on pertinent issues (short abstracts, 2 pages), and • PhD colloquium submissions (max. 8 pages), all to be included in the alternate proceedings published by IOS Press. These formats encourage both scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art as well as innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government, e-governance, e-participation or policy modelling projects along with papers on system implementations. PROCEEDINGS All accepted completed research papers will be published by Springer Verlag (two volumes of LNCS). Accepted submissions in all other categories will be published by IOS Press. After the conference, the proceeding volumes will be submitted to Thompson Reuters for evaluation in order to be indexed in Web of Science Conference Proceedings. PHD COLLOQUIUM Prior to the conference (that is, on Sunday, 4th September), the 12th PhD student colloquium will be held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration. It will be dedicated to learning and understanding from each other. PhD research with topical threads of both conferences and the special tracks or further related topics relevant to ICT use in the public sector are welcome and can be presented.
