Wimmer <wimmer(a)uni-koblenz.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org --- Deadline approaching in a few days --- CALL FOR PAPERS – Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track @ dual ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dual 15th IFIP Electronic Government and 8th e-Participation Conference (IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart) 2016 will be held from Monday, September 5th to Thursday, September 8th, 2016 under the local auspices of the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV, http://egov.unu.edu/) and University of Minho (http://www.uminho.pt/en), Guimarães, Portugal --------------------------------------------- TRACK CHAIRS Maria A. 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 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.

Tagungstermin: 6.-7. Oktober 2016 Ort: Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, Paderborn Webseite: http://pvm-tagung.de *Leitthemen und inhaltliche Ausrichtung* Projekte werden - seit Jahrzehnten - schneller, anspruchsvoller und komplexer. Einerseits steigen die Ansprüche der Kunden, agilen Ansätzen folgend, dass veränderte Anforderungen schnellstmöglich in lauffähigen bzw. sogar zertifizierten Softwareständen umgesetzt werden. Andererseits müssen Unternehmen gewachsene Strukturen bedienen und zunehmend komplexeren Rahmenbedingungen gerecht werden. So arbeiten Teams zunehmend verteilt als virtuelle Teams in agilen Prozessen über Zeit- und geographische Grenzen hinweg zusammen und müssen gleichzeitig Kosten und Qualität im Auge zu behalten und Berichtspflichten erfüllen. Ein heute praktizierter Lösungsansatz sind hybride Projekte, bei denen sich agile Denkmuster mit stabilen Projektrahmenstrukturen verbinden. Neue Regeln und Tools in der Projektarbeit müssen diesen hybriden Anspruch erfüllen und gleichzeitig den zunehmend komplexeren Rahmenbedingungen in den Projekten gerecht werden. Dabei gilt es weiterhin Anforderungen der Verfügbarkeit, Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit von IT-Systemen sicherzustellen. Dazu gehört auch die Weiterentwicklung von Ansätzen wie DevOps, also die Etablierung eng verzahnter Entwicklungspipelines und damit die Verbindung der Entwicklung eines IT-Systems und seines Betriebs, zur Einbindung in unterschiedliche hybride Strukturen. *Themen* Um dieses vielfältige Thema im Spannungsfeld zwischen Academia und Praxis zu diskutieren, laden wir Kurz- und Langbeiträge insbesondere zu den folgenden Fragestellungen ein: oAgile und hybride Modelle für die Zusammenarbeit von virtuellen Teams in verteilten Projekten oModerne Vorgehensmodelle für schnelle und kundennahe Software- und Systementwicklung (etwa Scrumban, Lean Development, DevOps) oAgile Transformation kleiner, mittlerer, großer, und global agierender Unternehmen oMethoden und Werkzeuge für hybride Projekte (Konzepte, Erfahrungen) oAgile und hybride Vorgehensmodelle für die Entwicklung sicherheitskritischer, zuverlässiger (IT-)Systeme, z.B. im regulierten Umfeld (z.B. Medizin, Luftfahrt, Kernkraft) oÜbertragung agiler bzw. hybrider Konzepte auf weitere Anwendungsfelder oTrends und Prognosen für Vorgehensmodelle und Projektmanagement (Ausblick) Gerne können Sie weitere Aspekte einbringen, die zu den Fragen dieser Tagung einen Beitrag leisten. *Ziele der Fachtagung* Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es, fundierte Ansätze aus der Wissenschaft mit Erfahrungen zu deren Anwendung in der Praxis einem Fachpublikum vorzustellen und Raum für die fachübergreifende Diskussion und den Erfahrungsaustausch zu geben. *Beiträge* Bei den Einreichungen kann es sich handeln um * Übersichtsbeiträge, die einen oder mehrere der o.g. Fragestellungen aufarbeiten und einführend darstellen, * Ergebnisse laufender oder abgeschlossener Forschungsarbeiten, * Erfahrungsberichte aus der Praxis, * Impulsbeiträge (Future Track), als Langbeiträge (max. 10 Seiten) oder Kurzbeiträge (max. 5 Seiten für den Future Track). Die Fachgruppen prämieren einen herausragenden Beitrag mit dem /Best Paper Award/. Von der Einsendung von sog. Success Stories mit starker Marketing-Ausrichtung (Eigenwerbung) bitten wir generell abzusehen. Weitere Informationen zur Einreichung (z. B. Formate) und die Mitglieder des Programmkomitees finden Sie auf der Tagungs-Website http://pvm-tagung.de. *Tagungsband* Der Tagungsband wird in gedruckter Form in den /GI Lecture Notes in Informatics/ publiziert (https://www.gi.de/service/publikationen/lni.html) und von dblp (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/) indiziert. *Session „Future Track“* Eine wichtige Aufgabe der GI-Fachgruppen ist es, sich mit der Zukunft des Fachgebiets zu beschäftigen. Autoren im Future Track können reifende Ideen oder kontroverse bzw. provokative Ansichten in einem Impulsbeitrag vorstellen, welche anschließend im Auditorium diskutiert werden sollen. Durch den Austausch sollten Denkanstöße und Impulse für die Teilnehmer und auch die künftige Fachgruppenarbeit entstehen. Die Impulsbeiträge (nur als Kurzbeitrag) für die Future Tracks werden einem separaten Review-Verfahren unterzogen. *Termine* · 30.05.2016: Einreichungsfrist für die Beiträge · 30.06.2016: Information über Annahme an die Autoren · 30.07.2016: Einreichung der druckfertigen Beiträge durch die Autoren · 06.+07.10.2016: Tagung PVM2016 in Paderborn *Gastgeber und Sponsor* - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn ** *Kooperationspartner* - GPM - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e.V. - ANSSTAND e.V. - Projektmagazin ** *Kontaktadresse und weitere Informationen* Auf der Webseite http://pvm-tagung.dewerden laufend aktualisierte Informationen zur Tagung bereitgestellt.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP TEAR 2016 - Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research Workshop at EDOC 2016 Datum: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 16:01:15 +0100 Von: Stephan Aier <stephan.aier(a)unisg.ch> Antwort an: Stephan Aier <stephan.aier(a)unisg.ch> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ********************************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS TEAR 2016 11th Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR) 2016, Vienna The 11th TEAR workshop (http://tear-series.org/) is organized in conjunction with IEEE EDOC 2016, September 5-9, Vienna, Austria. ********************************************************************************* The international TEAR workshop series brings together Enterprise Architecture (EA) researchers from different research communities and provides a forum to present EA research results and to discuss future EA research directions. The field of Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained considerable attention over the last years. EA is important because organizations need to adapt increasingly fast to changing customer requirements and business goals. This need influences the entire chain of activities of an enterprise, from business processes to IT support. Moreover, a change in a particular part of the overall architecture may influence many other parts of the architecture. For example, when a new product is introduced, business processes for production, sales and after-sales need to be adapted. It might be necessary to change applications, or even adapt the IT infrastructure. Each of these fields will have its own (partial) architectures. To keep the enterprise architecture coherent and aligned with the business goals, the relations between these different architectures must be explicit, and a change should be carried through methodically in all architectures. In contrast to traditional architecture management approaches such as IT architecture, software architecture or IS architecture, EA explicitly incorporates “pure” business-related artifacts in addition to traditional IS/IT artifacts. For Enterprise Architecture the focus is on the overall enterprise and concerns its organization, its components, the relationship between components and principles governing its design and evolution. Topics Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: * Case studies on EA * Combining BPM and EA * Drivers and obstacles of EA dissemination * EA and e-government * EA and organizational theory * EA and system development * EA and capability-based planning * EA business cases * EA communication and marketing * EA for small and medium-sized companies * EA governance and integration into corporate/IT governance * EA reference models, meta models and frameworks * EA usage in corporate strategic planning * Enterprise modeling, EA and MDA * Evolution of an EA * Incorporation of knowledge management and software engineering in EA * Measurement, metrics, and maturity models for EA artifacts and processes * Methodologies and research theory for EA research * Processes and patterns for EA development, mastering, communication and enforcement * Quality of EA models * Tool support for EA * Viewpoints in EA * EA analysis for decision-making, particularly for investments * Architectural Thinking in day-to-day decision making * Investigations of the EA needs of decision-makers * EA in the context of extended enterprises and large ecosystems * Managing a growing scope of concerns: legal, compliance, social, security, etc. * EA in the context of complexity and uncertainty * EA and the creation of EA research and teaching centers * Collaboration and sense-making in the context of EA * EA methods and tools that go beyond traditional software engineering * Experimenting with novel modelling and simulation approaches Important dates Workshop paper submission deadline: April 15, 2016 Workshop paper notification to authors: June 13, 2016 Camera-ready paper: July 1, 2016 Workshop: September 5 or 6, 2016 Submission Papers should describe innovative and significant original research relevant to TEAR as described in the topics section.

There is today an obvious demand for continuous improvement and alignment in enterprises but unfortunately many organizations don’t have proper instruments (methods, tools, patterns, best practices etc.) to achieve this. Enterprise modeling, enterprise architecture, and business process management are three areas belonging to traditions where the mission is to improve business practice and business and IT alignment (BITA). BITA is many times manifested through the transition of taking an enterprise from one state (AS-IS) into another improved state (TO-BE), i.e. a transformation of the enterprise and it’s supporting IT into something that is regarded as better. Recent development within areas like Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), and digitalization in general has brought new dimensions to BITA where BITA becomes an important part of smart business ecosystems. A continuous challenge with BITA is to move beyond a narrow focus on one tradition or technology. There is a need to be aware of and able to deal with a number of dimensions of the enterprise architecture, their connectivity, and their relations in order to create alignment. Examples of such dimensions are: organizational structures, strategies, business models, work practices, processes, and IS/IT structures. Among the concepts that deserve special attention in this context is enterprise architecture management (EAM). An effective EAM aligns IT investments with overall business priorities, determines who makes the IT decisions and assigns accountability for the outcomes. IT governance is also a dimension that traditionally has had a strong impact on BITA. There are ordinarily three governance mechanisms that an enterprise needs to have in place, 1) decision-making structures, 2) alignment process, and 3) formal communications. This workshop aims to bring together people who have an interest in BITA. We invite researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to submit original results of their completed or ongoing projects. We encourage to a broad understanding of possible approaches and solutions for BITA, including EAM and IT governance subjects. Specific focus is on practices of business and IT alignment, i.e. we have encouraged submission of case study and experiences papers. Topics * Business and IT alignment and smart business ecosystems * Best practice business and IT alignment case studies * Business and IT alignment in small and medium sized enterprises * Business and IT alignment discovery, change and improvement – methodologies and best practices * Business and IT alignment in the era of internet of things (IoT) and cyber physical systems (CPS) * Business and IT alignment through BPM * Business value of business and IT alignment * Challenges in business and IT alignment * Critical success factors and associated KPIs´ for alignment initiatives * Design thinking in business and alignment * Enterprise architecture management (EAM) for business and IT alignment * Enterprise modelling as a tool for business and IT alignment * Experience reports and case studies * Human aspects of business and IT alignment; organizational staffing and structure, change management and leadership strategies * IT governance as a mean for alignment * Metrics associated with the alignment life cycle, re-design, implementation, management and improvement * Practices of business and IT alignment * Organisational implementations of various levels of business and IT alignment approaches * The relationship between BPM and enterprise architecture Submission * Long papers: max. 12 pages Important dates * May 10, 2016 (11:59pm CET) - submission deadline for papers * May 31, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop Organizers * Jönköping University * Rostock University Chairs * Ulf Seigerroth * Kurt Sandkuhl ** ****************************************************** (3) Workshop on big Data and Business AnalyticS Ecosystem (DeBASE 2016) ** ****************************************************** http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/debase-2016/ The notion of big data and its application in driving organizational decision making has attracted enormous attention over the past few years. As the label itself indicates, big data refers to large volumes of data generated and made available online and in digital media ecosystems. Associated with the notion of big data are aspects such as the diversity of data, the frequency by which it is updated, and the speed at which it grows. Companies are realizing that the data they own and the way they use them can differentiate them from competition, and even provide them with a competitive edge. Thus, todays companies try to collect and process as much data as possible. Big data and business analytics are also challenging existing modes of business and well-established companies. The need to harness the potential of rapidly expanding data volume, velocity, and variety, has seen a significant evolution of techniques and technologies for data storage, analysis, and visualization. Yet, there is limited understanding of how organizations need to change to embrace these technological innovations, and the business shifts they entail. As big data tools and applications spread, they will inevitably change long-standing ideas about decision making, management practices, and most importantly competitive strategy formulation. But as with any major change, the challenge of becoming a big data-driven enterprise can be enormous. Nevertheless, it’s a transition that executives need to navigate through, with limited empirical knowledge to guide their decisions. The purpose of this workshop is to shed some light on how big data and business analytics tools are reshaping contemporary companies. The focus is on how companies should optimally deploy and exploit big data as part of their competitive strategies, as well as how the analytic methods, tools, and techniques are best utilized for supporting business operations. The workshop will be revolved on themes such as how big data are effectively leveraged in a range of contexts and industries (e.g. technology, retail, oil and gas, healthcare, telecommunications), and what critical factors drive successful diffusion. Papers that address topics on how information sources, technological infrastructure, human skills and knowledge, organizational/team structures, and management practices coalesce to achieve desired ends, are of increased interest. Furthermore, outcomes that demonstrate the organizational impact of big data and business analytics in terms of competitive performance, innovativeness, increased agility, and market capitalizing competence are encouraged. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary papers that bridge the domains of organizational science, information systems strategic management, information science, marketing, and computer science. In addition, the workshop seeks to address the novel digital business strategies that emerge as part of these new technologies, and particularly the entrepreneurial wave and start-up business models that transpire. Despite the hype surrounding big data, the aforementioned predicaments still remain largely unexplored, severely hampering the business potential of big data and business analytics. The workshop aims to add in this direction and therefore welcomes quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods papers, as well as reviews, conceptual papers, and theory development papers. Especially concerning the theory development papers, we highly encourage authors to explore how information systems, information management, and strategic management theories can be used or extended to explain big data and business analytics-related phenomena. Topics * Emerging concepts and methodologies on big data and analytics * Big data and management * Organizational learning and innovation from big data and business analytics * Data-driven competitive advantage * Human resource management in the data-driven enterprise * Big data digital business models * Proactive strategy formulation from big data analytics * Data and text mining for business analytics * Big data and analytics to create business value * Social media analytics for business * Data quality improvement for business analytics * Big data and its impact on business strategy-formulation * Digital ecosystem big data Submission * Full research papers: max. 12 pages * Research in progress: max. 7 pages Important dates * April 29, 2016 - submission deadline for papers * June 3, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection * June 17, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop Organizers * Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway * Athens University of Economic and Business, Greece Chairs * Patrick Mikalef * Ilias O.

Current trends in manufacturing, supply chain management and product servitization systems are stimulated by emerging paradigms such as Factories of the Future, Virtual Enterprises, Smart Factories etc. The workshop aims to narrow down and crystallize the characteristics of such relatively informal notions, to consolidate them under the umbrella term of Future Enterprise and to highlight their requirements with respect to semantic information systems. Disciplines such as Enterprise Modeling, Ontology Engineering, Semantic Web Services or Linked Enterprise Data are expected to converge under the topics proposed by the workshop. We invite papers which raise research questions and provide semantic approaches on challenges pertaining to next-generation enterprise information systems and enterprise virtualization. The workshop aims to attract interdisciplinary contributions that are rooted in areas such as Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering, while providing value and advancement opportunities for future enterprises. The proposed array of topics is an acknowledgment of the fact that non-ambiguous representation and processing of semantics can be tackled with a wide range of approaches (e.g. conceptual modeling, natural language, logics, knowledge discovery) and supported by heterogeneous technologies (e.g. ontologies, modeling languages, semantic lifting tools, information retrieval algorithms). Topics * Semantic support for collaborative business networks * Cloud management and semantics for product-service systems * Knowledge acquisition in virtual enterprises * Modeling and simulation of manufacturing processes for Factories of the Future * Description logics for decision support in virtual enterprises * Description, discovery and composition of Semantic Web Services * Description and execution of Semantic Business Processes * Methodologies and technologies for the semantic lifting of legacy enterprise systems * Formal methods for enterprise modeling * Context-awareness in Enterprise Information Systems * Computational semantics and natural language processing for business documents * Reasoning for automated decision making in virtual enterprises * Data linking and ontology management in collaborative business networks * Semantics of cyberphysical systems in Factories of the Future * Security and access control semantics for virtual enterprise resources Submission * The workshop will accept papers of up to 12 pages formatted according to the Springer LNBIP template. The initial submission must be in the PDF format. Important dates * May 1, 2016 - submission deadline for papers * May 17, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection (including revisions based on reviewer comments) * June 1, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop * July 20, 2016 - submission of final papers for publication (including revisions based on workshop feedback) Organizer * Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Business Information Systems Department Chairs * Robert Buchmann * Razvan Petrusel * Gheorghe Cosmin Silaghi ** ********************************************************************** (5) 1st International Workshop on Intelligent Data Analysis in Integrated Social CRM (iCRM 2016) ** ********************************************************************** http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/icrm-2016/ Integrated Social Customer Relationship Management (Social CRM) is an emerging concept that includes strategies, processes and technologies that bring together Social Media on the Web and CRM processes. However, transforming the large mass of data available on social media into value adding opportunities for companies remains challenging. Today, a variety of software applications based on Web and Text Mining techniques is used for this task. These are helpful for identifying relevant Social Media postings and for extracting basic information (e.g. number of “likes”, occurrence of key words in postings, identification of simple sentiments), but they are insufficient for identifying more complex patterns, for example, semantic relationships between actors, profiles and postings from large, dispersed and unstructured databases. For instance, advanced techniques such as Semantic Business Intelligence (SBI) (e.g., semantic enrichment and disambiguation of social media data, data warehouses based on the semantic Web, semantic interoperability) or Computational Intelligence (CI) (e.g. artificial neural networks, Bayesian models, fuzzy systems and evolutionary computing) promise a great potential to improve the capabilities in knowledge discovery and may also enable new usage scenarios in Social CRM (e.g. impact simulation, network analysis, topic development, trend prediction) in various domains (e.g. tourism, banking, energy, public sector, publishing, health, logistics, education). The workshop aims to shed light on current research efforts targeting the development of innovative tools and methods for intelligent data analysis in Social CRM, resulting in new (integrated) processes and capabilities. The setup is interdisciplinary and invites researchers as well as professionals to contribute research papers, case studies or to present prototypes on relevant topics, both completed and ongoing. The workshop will take place in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the German-Brazilian Partnerships for Social CRM and a tutorial on Data Analysis in Social CRM hosted by the Social CRM Research Center. Topics * Innovative Social CRM tools * Social CRM in business * Novel data analysis algorithms * Data integration and fusion in Social CRM * Innovative and data-driven Social CRM processes * Data enabled Social CRM scenarios * Big data approaches in Social CRM * CRM process support on the Social Web * Requirement and current short comings of Social Analytics * Value of data analysis in Social CRM * Theory development * Case studies representing the current and new scenarios in Social CRM * Crowdsourcing in data analysis * Privacy-preserving analysis * Privacy Management and data analysis in Social CRM * Data quality in Social CRM Analytics Submission * Full research papers: max. 12 pages * Research in progress: max. 7 pages * Case studies and teaching cases: max. 5 pages * Prototypes, including an extended abstract: max. 5 pages Important dates * May 1, 2016 - submission deadline for papers * June 5, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection * June 26, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop and tutorial Organizer * Leipzig University/Social CRM Research Center, Germany Chairs * Rainer Alt * Olaf Reinhold ** ********************************************************************* (6) 2nd International Workshop on Digital Enterprise Engineering and Architecture (IDEA 2016) ** ********************************************************************* http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/idea-2016/ Digitization is the use of digital technologies for creating innovative digital business models and transforming existing business models and processes. Information is captured and processed without human intervention using digital means. Digitization creates profound changes in the economy and society. Digitization has both business and technological perspectives. Digital business models and process are essential for many companies to achieve their strategic goals. Digitization impacts both the product, customer and the value-creation perspective. Digitized products are dynamic, their functionality can be extended on the fly by using external services. They are capable of reflecting on their own status and thus morph the selling of physical assets to services. Digitization changes the relationships with the customer significantly. Personal interaction is replaced by self-service and proactive action. The customer interacts with the enterprise using a multitude of implicit touchpoints created by the Internet of Things. Digitization fosters new models of value creation such as Service-Dominant Logic. Value is also created by platform and network effects. On a technological level, digitization embraces the automation of processes and decisions. Advanced analytics provides the automation of decisions hitherto made by human beings. Typical elements of digital enterprise architectures are the use of decision automation, predictive or even prescriptive analytics. In this way, digital technologies such as service-orientation, cloud computing, big data, mobile or the internet of things enable the creation of new options for enterprises and organizations. Due to the high diversity of concepts, the complexity of systems involved and the heterogeneity of stakeholders, a methodological foundation is crucial to the success of digitization. Therefore, the workshop “Digital Enterprise Engineering and Architecture” integrates business with technological themes and applies methodical and engineering principles to the design of Digital Enterprise Architectures (EA). It strives for deriving the EA from the enterprise goals and strategy and aligning it with the enterprise resources. The workshop embraces concepts from Computer Science, Business Information Systems, and Business Administration. The goal of the workshop is to identify challenges from digitization for enterprises and organizations and to advance Digital Enterprise Engineering and Architecture to cope with these challenges. The workshop shall identify and develop concepts and methods that assist the engineering and the management of digital enterprise architectures and the software systems supporting them. Topics * Methods for the Design and Management of Digital Enterprises * Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategies with the digital enterprise architecture * Digital Strategy and Governance * Architectural patterns for value-co-creation, dynamic and servitized products * Service in digital enterprises * Business process management in Digital Enterprises * Advanced Analytics for the Support of Digital Enterprises * Self-service and automation in Digital Enterprises * Customer journeys and relationship management in digital enterprises * Internet of Things and Digital Enterprises * Impact of digitization on society and economy * Security in Digital Architectures Submission * Full papers: max. 12 pages * Position papers and tool reports: max. 8 pages Important dates * Apr 12, 2016 - submission deadline for papers * May 17, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection * June 24, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop Organizers * Université Paris 1 – Panthéon – Sorbonne, France * MUAS (Munich University of Applied Sciences), Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, Germany * Reutlingen University, Germany Chairs * Selmin Nurcan * Rainer Schmidt * Alfred Zimmermann ** ****************************************************************************************** (7) 1st International Workshop on Integrative Analysis and Computation of Life Data for Smart Ecosystems (INCLuDE 2016) ** ****************************************************************************************** http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/include-2016/ The enormous progress in information technologies (IT), in circuit miniaturization as well as the immense efforts in the investigation of biomedical and ecological systems builds a strong basis to realize an optimal, healthy, economically efficient environment. The data flow, coming from sensors, business processes, enquiries, social networks and other manifold sources is extremely complex and dynamic. Therefore, sufficient analysis methods and corresponding IT solutions are crucial for the extraction and handling of the information embedded in the data. The data generating systems need to be investigated separately. However, these systems function or exist in continuous interaction among one another. The content as well as the influence of these relations is partly investigated yet, and poses a huge challenge on innovative concepts, methodologies, models and IT-architectures. New paradigms of thought are needed for empowering science, society and business to understand, design and optimize high-dimensional, spatio- temporally interacting systems and processes. This workshop provides the opportunity for interdisciplinary discussions of problems and potential solutions as well as for cooperation on the fascinating new world of complex life data. Competences from the area of Information Systems, Data Science, Environmental Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Medicine, Psychology, Philosophy and Business are required to present complimentary knowledge, advanced approaches and new promising ideas contributing to the investigation of life data determined ecosystems. Topics * Methods for data analysis * Predictive analytics * Data integration * Fusion of data, methods and results * Modelling of complex life processes * Process monitoring * Ecosystem modelling * IT-infrastructures * IT-architectures * Services, e.g. for the extraction, fusion, analytics and presentation of data * Transformation processes * Sources of complex life data, e.g. social media, enterprise databases, health data * Privacy * Data protection * Result interpretation and application Submission * Full research papers: max. 12 pages * Research in progress: max. 7 pages * Case studies and teaching cases: max. 5 pages * Prototypes, including an extended abstract: max. 5 pages Important dates * May 1, 2016 - submission deadline for papers * May 15, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection * June 26, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop Organizers * Information Systems Institute, Leipzig University, Germany * Institute for Applied Informatics at Leipzig University, Germany Chairs * Galina Ivanova * Rainer Alt * Peter Dietrich * Bogdan Franczyk * Markus Löffler ** ************************************************************ (8) 6th Workshop on Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT 2016) ** ************************************************************ http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/lit-2016/ The Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT) Workshop is a gathering of people interested in broadly understood Legal Informatics and its applications. The previous LIT was held in 2013 in Poznań, Poland as part of the 16th International Conference on Business Information Systems. As a continuation of previous editions, every LIT invites people dealing with different domains closely related to legal matter and Information Technology. The 6th Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology Workshop is planned to be a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that will bring together practitioners and researchers to investigate challenges and opportunities in the emerging trends on the verge of law and IT.

Security rules are either defined by regulation, e.g. data protection law, or as guidelines for good conducts, e.g. Basel III or SOX. Business guidelines, e.g. ITIL and COBIT, form a specification of regulation and business conduct, but there are almost no satisfying approaches as far as computer science is concerned. This workshop deals with process mining as a means for security analysis. Three phases may be identified: process analysis before execution, monitoring, or after execution of the BP. With regard to the latter, logs recording the events executed in BP build the basis for Process Mining (PM), which provides methods and tools to ensure compliance to regulations and guidelines. This workshop aims to explore the potentials of process mining to bridge the gap between an analysis of workflows and a certification of compliance and security. We invite innovative and previously undisclosed contributions, but also case studies and best practices, which present the analysis of business processes related to security, resilience and privacy aspects “by design”, during runtime, and forensically, based on the analysis of process logs. In this regard, we explicitly invite submission of practical contributions. Topics * delegation of rights in business processes * agility and resilience of business processes * temporal aspects in business processes * resource impact analysis * forensic log analysis * constraint based obstruction detection and correction/workarounds * interoperability of workflow systems * impacts of interferences on processes * process mining and ex-post analysis of processes * conformance checking * process optimization with external data sources * integration of automated workflows in existing structures Submission * Long papers: max. 12 pages Important dates * April 12, 2016 - submission deadline for papers * May 17, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection * June 14, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop Organizer * Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg Chairs * Günter Müller * Julius Holderer * Adrian Lange *** *********************************************************************** (10) 4th International Workshop on Service Orientation in Computing and Logistics (SOC-LOG 2016) *** *********************************************************************** http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/soc-log-2016/ Service orientation has become a prevalent paradigm for engineering and managing new forms of smart, highly integrative, usage-based business ecosystems. Its significance is being increasingly recognized by research communities that study new approaches for establishing smart service offerings in different domains. Logistics is a service domain that has a particularly high potential of benefiting from service orientation and service-based systems. The objective of logistics is to service individual firms, supply chains and entire industries with flexible means for realizing flows of goods from the point of origin to the point of destination. Logistics relies essentially on the ability to: (1) share resources of different organizations, (2) provide complex services based on configurations of elementary services, (3) coordinate service delivery across organizations, and (4) maintain an agreed quality of service. These requirements match closely to the key characteristics of service-based systems. While recent advances in the engineering and management of such systems have been made, still many questions regarding the design of the models and methods to be used as well as their efficacy and usefulness remain to be answered. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from different, though overlapping areas: services computing, information systems, and logistics/supply chain management. The objective is to to discuss the state of the art, on-going projects and open research questions at the intersection of services computing and logistics/supply chain management. The workshop intends to provide a forum for discussing research approaches that will (1) enhance the understanding of the problem domain, (2) provide ideas to solving important problems either in the domain or the models and methods, or (3) evaluate models and methods of services computing by reporting their use through, e.g., case study, experimentation, simulation. The workshop is not restricted to particular research methods and we will consider both conceptual, theoretical and empirical research, as well as novel applications. Topics * Logistics services representation * Servitization of logistics systems * Modularization of services * Logistics service models * Reference models for logistics services * Semantic models for logistics services * Repositories and dictionaries for logistics services * Logistics services description * Syntactical description of logistics services * Semantic description of logistics services * Logistics ontologies / ontologies for logistics services * QoS attributes of logistics services * Contextual and mobility aspects of logistics services * Coordination of logistics services * Discovery of logistics services * Composition of logistics services * Orchestration and choreography of logistics services * Market-based coordination of logistics services, i.e., auctions, exchanges * Data-driven logistics service coordination * Management of logistics services * Logistics service lifecycle management * Logistics service governance, risk and compliance * Logistics service portfolio management * Logistics service level management * Logistics service privacy and security management * Domain-specific SLA models and semantic annotation of SLAs for logistics services * SLA negotiation protocols for logistics services * Accounting, pricing, monitoring of logistics services * Integrating logistics services into service management infrastructures * Delivery of logistics services * Logistics service runtime management and monitoring * Verification of logistics services * Simulation and optimization of logistics services * Transactional safeguarding of logistics services * Service-oriented architectures for the setup and enactment of logistics services * Technologies for service deliveries Submission * Submission system is available at EasyChair Important dates * May 22, 2016 - submission deadline papers * June 5, 2016 - notification of acceptance/rejection * June 12, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop Organizers * University of Hohenheim, Germany * Kühne Logistics University, Hamburg/Germany * Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia Chairs * Joerg Leukel * André Ludwig * Alex Norta *** ************************************************************************ (11) 2nd Workshop on Tools for Setting Up and Running a Business in Cloud Computing (TSRB 2016) *** ************************************************************************ http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/tsrb-2016/ During the last decade technology evolved in a way that resulted in huge amount of data. This evolvement imposed on enterprises, the need to automate their core processes for operational excellence while spending huge amount of money to acquire the infrastructure and the tools to do so. The data repositories developed, provided the means to accrue the significant benefit of leveraging the value hidden in information accumulated during business transactions over time to support decision making and improve performance implying additional investments for the companies. Nowadays, this need becomes crucial for the survival of enterprises since competition becomes more aggressive, profit margins are limited, market becomes more demanding and customers seek experience of high quality and value. Even though, the cost of such infrastructures has been significantly reduced, the economic crisis limited the business budgets (especially for small and medium enterprises) in ways that could not afford setting up high performance infrastructures. The concept of cloud computing provides the solution to address the problem of high cost by providing infrastructures that accommodate the tools needed for setting up and running a business. This workshop invites researchers and business experts to share knowledge by introducing innovative tools for setting up and running a business in cloud computing. We expect practitioners to demonstrate business case presentations or tutorials that will introduce the sophisticated technologies and skills needed to capture transactions and process business data: (a) to operate business and (b) to find patterns and relationships from past transactions to make decisions and to improve an organization’s performance and decision making ability. Topics * Cloud Computing: Solutions and Best Practices * Innovative Cloud Business Products and Services * Advanced Cloud-based Ecosystems * In-memory Computing * Business Intelligence and Data Analytics * Advanced Cloud Management Solutions: Financials, HR, Sales, Procurement, Billing, Order Management, etc. * Advanced Knowledge-Based Business Information Systems * Decision Support Systems * Digital Businesses Submission * Long papers: max. 12 pages * Work-in-progress reports: max. 6 pages * Demo papers: max. 4 pages Important dates * May 29, 2016 - submission deadline for papers * June 20, 2016- notification of acceptance/rejection * June 30, 2016 - submission of final papers * July 6-8, 2016 - workshop Organizer * Cyprus Telecommunication Authority Chair * Hariklea Kazeli *** **************** (12) Doctoral Consortium *** **************** http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/doctoral-consortium/ The BIS Doctoral Consortium provides a forum where PhD students can share their work and interact with their peers as wells as senior scholars to receive valuable feedback on their work. By creating a collegial and friendly atmosphere, the objective of the consortium is to support PhD students in the effective design, implementation, and communication of their research. In particular, each student will be assigned a mentor who will also provide in-depth private feedback. In addition, the consortium offers opportunities for networking and, through the proceedings, publishing early results. Similarly to the BIS Conference, the consortium is open to PhD students from areas concerned with the development, implementation and application of business information systems, based on innovative ideas and computational intelligence methods. The consortium is not restricted to particular research methods and we will consider conceptual, theoretical and empirical research as well as novel applications. Presentation and Publication All accepted papers will be presented during the plenary sessions. Revised papers will be published in a volume of the LNBIP series (Springer). The consortium will be structured into three parts: 1) Plenary session including paper presentations by PhD students (30 minutes each), 2) Mentoring sessions of each one mentor and one or two students (60 minutes), 3) Final session to summarize results and feedback (30 minutes).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Participation in WebSci'16 Hackathon [Exploring the Past of the Web: Alexandria & Archive-It Hackathon] Datum: Tue, 08 Mar 2016 11:11:45 +0100 Von: Ujwal Gadiraju <gadiraju(a)l3s.de> Antwort an: Ujwal Gadiraju <gadiraju(a)l3s.de> Organisation: L3S Research Center An: kim.raymond(a)maine.edu Hello, ### APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING ### ------------------------------------------------------------------ Exploring the Past of the Web: Alexandria & Archive-It Hackathon ------------------------------------------------------------------ Web Science 2016 Hackathon: http://www.websci16.org/hackathon ----------------- Hackathon Chairs ----------------- Avishek Anand, L3S Research Center, Germany Jefferson Bailey, Internet Archive, USA The Web has pervaded all walks of life and has become an important corpus for studying the humanities, social sciences, and for use by computer scientists and other disciplines. Web archives collect, preserve, and provide ongoing access to ephemeral Web pages and hence encode traces of human thought, activity, and history. This makes them a valuable resource for analysis and study. However, there have been only few concerted efforts to bring together tools, platforms, storage, processing frameworks, and existing collections for mining and analysing Web archives. We present the Alexandria & Archive-It Hackathon @ WebSci’16 as a forum for scientists, engineers, practitioners, and enthusiasts to work with Web archive collections at scale and use and help build tools that can help realize the largely untapped potential of using Web archives in their research and work. The goal of the Hackathon is to bring together a small and focused group of participants to collaboratively work with Web archive collections using open-source tools and platforms and to discuss new ideas in exploring and analyzing these collections. We will provide access to focused, subject-specific Web archive collections from a diverse set of institutions and topics. The data consists of collections from Archive-It, Internet Archive’s web archiving service, and is housed on a commercial data cluster (provided generously by www.altiscale.com) for processing and analysis, but can be browsed on the Web as well through their collection pages athttps://archive-it.org/. The topics range from web pages collected around events (like the U.S. Occupy Movement), interest groups (politics, art, et cetera), home pages (museums, universities) and more. All collections were archived over a notable period of time and can support multiple analytical approaches and tools. A range of collections will be available for use in the hackathon. Some examples of the types of collections to be included: [1]. Human Rights web archive collected by Columbia University: https://www.archive-it.org/collections/1068 [2]. Occupy Movement 2011/2012, collected by Internet Archive: https://archive-it.org/collections/2950 [3]. Auction Houses web archive, collected by New York Art Resources consortium: https://www.archive-it.org/collections/2135 [4]. Contemporary Women Artists on the Web, collected by National Museum of Women in the Arts:https://archive-it.org/collections/2973 To lower the entry barrier in accessing and analysing this data we will provide a small hands-on session on Day 1, using existing open source tools, and will be able to provide some coaching during the Hackathon to groups not yet fully fluent with working with large data clusters. We want to ensure that participation will be truly cross-disciplinary with the hope of fostering cross-fertilization of ideas from users and researchers from multiple disciplines, including social and political sciences, the humanities, and computer science. We will end the Hackathon on Day 4 with presentations of team accomplishments as well as discussions and exchange of ideas for future projects and collaborations. The Hackathon will run in parallel to the WebSci’16 conference, to allow participants to register and attend the conference, and will finish one day after the conference. Participants will receive promotional materials from the event hosts and Internet Archive and Archive-It. The research team with the most accomplished plan, project, or future work will receive a complimentary Archive-It account that can be used to build their own web archive collection for use in their own future research. Alexandria and Archive-It also plan on convening additional hackathons and web archive data mining challenges in conjunction with future conferences and events. ------------- Registration ------------- The registration for the Hackathon is free for WebSci'16 participants, however we waive off the charges for participating only in the Hackathon. If you want to register for "Hackathon Only": People who only want to attend the hackathon, can register on http://websci16.org/registration by selecting "Dinner only" first and on the next page below their personal details select "Hackathon only".
