The provision of large amount of data from various sources (Internet, Social Media, Application Logs, Data Warehouses, Sensors, Mobiles, Open Data, etc.) is now emerging into the collection and processing of "Big Data". While Big Data notion is adopted by both academic and enterprise communities, there is currently a wide gap between its potential and its realization. Variety, velocity, scale, complexity, interpretation and security problems with Big Data raise challenges at all phases of the pipeline that can extract information and knowledge from it. Thus, there is a natural interest in using these data assets to improve a variety of applications. It is very interesting to explore how researchers utilize data-driven strategies and discover what disciplines will change because of the advent of data. With the vast amount of data now available, modern businesses are facing the challenges of storage, management, analysis, privacy, visualization, security and data integration. The aim of this workshop is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for bringing together specialists from the scientific areas of Computer Engineering, Bioinformatics-Personalized Medicine, Finance and Operational Research. The focus of this workshop is on current technological advances and challenges about the development of big data-driven algorithms and methods and tools. Furthermore, it would be very interesting to investigate if the use of a vast amount of data leads to more accurate models or not.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: Service Orientation in Computing and Logistics (Deadline: May 22, 2016) Datum: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 18:09:59 +0200 Von: joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de Antwort an: joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ================================================================== Call for Papers: 4th International Workshop on Service Orientation in Computing and Logistics (SOC-LOG 2016) In conjunction with the 19th International Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS 2016) July 6-8, 2016, Leipzig, Germany Workshop website: http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2016/workshops/soc-log-2016/ ++ Deadline for submission: May 22, 2016 ++ ++ Springer LNBIP proceedings ++ =================================================================== Workshop Theme ============== 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 of Interest ================== In particular, we are inviting papers on the following topics: 1) 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 2) 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 3) 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 4) 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 - SLA negotiation protocols for logistics services - Accounting, pricing, monitoring of logistics services - Integrating logistics services into service management infrastructures 5) 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 - Technologies for service deliveries Paper Submission and Publication ================================ Authors are invited to submit original research papers, as - Full papers (up to 12 pages including references) or - Work-in-progress papers (up to 6 pages including references) on the listed or related topics.

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers: HICSS50 Digital and ICT Enabled Services Minitrack

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers: HICSS50 Digital and ICT Enabled Services Minitrack Datum: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 15:27:32 +0200 Von: Tuure Tuunanen <tuure(a)tuunanen.fi> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Digital and ICT Enabled Services Minitrack (www.hicss.org <http://www.hicss.org/>) The purpose of the minitrack is to draw researchers’ attention to the innovation, design, development, management, and use of Digital and ICT Enabled Services for both Consumers and Enterprises. It will provide a discussion forum for researchers interested in fostering analytics-based and service-based approaches to theoretical and practical problems related to such services [1-6]. In a broad sense, ICT enabled services can be defined as [1] : ‘..systems that enable value co-creation through the development and implementation of information and communication technology enabled processes that integrate system value propositions with customer value drivers.’ These services meld the worlds of bits and atoms and promise to transform the transportation, energy, and other sectors like the media industries before them. Examples of such ICT enabled services are, e.g., NFC enabled Air New Zealand frequent flyer cards that facilitate check-in and identity verification, mobile ticketing services for public transport, digital services for music festival participants to interact and co-create with each other before, during, after the event, smart television services and content, tablet-based services for ordering food and drinks at a casino or restaurant, etc. Likewise, there are substantial opportunities for ICT-driven service innovation in business-to-business settings. These opportunities exist particularly in manufacturing in which innovation activities increase the digitization of products and production processes. We see that the global awareness of the power of the manufacturing industry will be linked to horizontal cyber-physical systems that enable value co-creation in the networked business environment. The cyber-aspects of such systems are ICT infrastructure, computer hardware, software, and different kind of sensors and actors. These components turn cyber-physical systems into platforms for designing and operating service. The data on products and processes gained through networked CPS and the ability to act on this data through control systems and actors enables novel ways of co-creating service in industrial contexts. This emerging area of research raises interesting questions. For example, traditional development approaches focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational processes. The design of ICT enabled services may, however, require an emphasis on the socio-psychological aspects, such as the value-in-use and user/consumer/co-creator experiences. Digital services create novel ways of engaging customers and other actors in service ecosystems, raising the question of effective patterns of such digital actor engagement [7]. Moreover, digital services facilitate data-driven and analytics-based service design and development, particularly if the service is linked to the physical world through sensors and/or people’s interactions. Discussion Topics: The shift of consumer and enterprise personnel from users to co-creators of value, calls for a significant re-appraisal of our current design and development approaches. Relevant topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to): • ICT enabled services, mobile services, and consumer information systems • Discovery, fuzzy-front end, and innovation processes • Service design, and development processes and methodologies • Analytics supported service design and development • Design and evaluation of novel digital services • New technology enabled services, e.g. services using robotics, wearables, blockchain, or other technologies • Service platforms • Consumer and enterprise user aspects • Service ecosystems and effective patterns of actor engagement in digital services • Social networking • Location and/or sensor aware services • Temporo-spatial relevance of service, location and/or sensor aware services • Hedonic ICT enabled services • Socio-psychological aspects of ICT enabled service use • Understanding social and cultural contexts • Consumerization of enterprise services • Cyber-Physical systems and services • Cyber-Physical systems and services from different disciplinary perspectives, such as, information systems, operations research, software engineering, service science, and service research • Service innovation based on cyber-physical systems and services • Service ecosystems, platforms and novel architecture related cyber-physical systems and services • Theoretical aspects of cyber-physical systems and services research • Cyber-physical systems and services as artifacts • Use and adoption of cyber-physical systems and services Minitrack Chairs: Tuure Tuunanen (Primary Contact), University of Jyväskylä, tuure(a)tuunanen.fi Ola Henfridsson, University of Warrick, United Kingdom, Ola.Henfridsson(a)wbs.ac.uk Tilo Böhmann, University of Hamburg, Germany, tilo.boehmann(a)uni-hamburg.de Submission deadline: June 15th Author instructions: http://www.hicss.org/#!author-instructions/c1dsb <http://www.hicss.org/#!author-instructions/c1dsb> References: [1] T.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers: HICSS50 Advances in Design Research for Information Systems Minitrack Datum: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 15:31:37 +0200 Von: Tuure Tuunanen <tuure(a)tuunanen.fi> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Advances in Design Research for Information Systems Minitrack (www.hicss.org <http://www.hicss.org/>) This minitrack provides a venue for information systems (IS) design researchers to share their work and interact with likeminded scholars. Design research is a prominent form of engaged scholarship, which combines inquiry with a potential for action and intervention. Design research may be viewed as having three major subfields, from which we welcome submissions: • Design theory research, which focuses on the development of theories about creating new or improved information systems based on kernel or grand theories • Design science research which focuses on creating ‘new-to-the-world’ IS artifacts • Science of design research which focuses on the study of how designers actually conduct design activities, e.g., science of design research While specific interests interest is placed upon design research and design theorizing with respect to the three subfields described above, the minitrack welcomes submissions from the entire range of alternatives that deal with the question of integrating inquiry with the potential of creating and shaping alternative futures. Such work extends the boundaries of human and organizational capabilities by theorizing and/or creating new and innovative artifacts. The building and application of these designed artifacts produces knowledge and understanding of a problem domain and its solutions, which is then potentially transferable to other domains. In design science, the engagement is primarily focused on the design and evaluation of an artifact; learning through building with the aim to generate theoretical insights. This is often an iterative research process, often quite technical, and sometimes capitalizes on learning via both researcher and subject expertise within the context of the participants' social system. It can be a clinical method that puts IS researchers in an active supporting role for advanced practice. To this end we also seek implementable and grounded action frames for engaging in such generalizable inquiries. Accordingly the scope of this mini track includes research contributions that arise from all three subfields of design research described above. This includes engaged approaches, studies of the practical use of design research approaches, the use of such approaches to expand theory, and conceptual foundations that significantly and cogently expand our understanding of the epistemology and methodology of such approaches and their philosophical underpinnings. These include: • Developing design artifacts and design theories • Evaluating and testing design artifacts and design theories • Different approaches to the design of artifacts and design theorizing Minitrack Co-Chairs: Tuure Tuunanen (Primary Contact) University of Jyväskylä tuure(a)tuunanen.fi Richard Baskerville Georgia State University and Curtin University baskerville(a)gsu.edu Roman Beck IT University of Copenhagen romb(a)itu.dk Submission deadline: June 15th Author instructions: http://www.hicss.org/#!author-instructions/c1dsb <http://www.hicss.org/#!author-instructions/c1dsb> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Conference Website: http://coiot.org/2016/show/news IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission deadline 17 May 2016 Notification and Registration opens 12 June 2016 Camera-ready deadline 5 August 2016 Please submit to: http://confy.eai.eu/52190 session track “Affordances in the Internet of Things” MOTIVATION The second edition of the “Affordances in the Internet of Things” (AIoT) special session wants to be a container of different contributions coming from distinct research areas related to the world of the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular, the “things” in the “Internet of things” usually contain some knowledge about inputs from the environment and the outputs they need to achieve. For this reason, they “have to know” what will surround them a priori. However, this limits the power of intelligent IoT systems where devices can dynamically learn from their neighbors and change their activity accordingly. In a sense, we would revisit the concept “the whole is not the sum of its parts” in the IoT domain. The aim of AIoT is twofold: to stimulate the debate on Knowledge Representation strategies where aspects like subjectivity, time, roles, and context play some crucial role within the modeling of an IoT system; to generate insights on the physical nature of the “things” in the IoT, which open new challenges for human-computer interaction. With AIoT, IoT engineers, computer scientists, interaction designers, psychologists and sociologists are invited to meet each other sharing ideas, problems, and solutions. TYPE OF RELEVANT CONTRIBUTIONS - Ideas on the use of the concept of “affordances” in the Internet Of Things - General statements about current and future functionalities in the Internet Of Things under a cognitive perspective - Reflections and Insights on how IoT can change Human-Computer Interaction - Real Cases, problems, implemented solutions and evaluations - Applications of research coming from different fields to the AIoT vision - Statements on the impact of cognitive-based IoT technologies TOPICS Relevant workshop topics include but are not limited to: - Cognitive Internet of Things - Roles and Agents - User Modeling - Language and perception - Affordances in HCI - Design of IoT devices - Interaction modalities for wearable devices - Smart materials and their properties - User studies on IoT devices - Knowledge representation - Time and Geospatial knowledge - Multi-agent technologies - Distributed Systems - Pragmatics and Context - Artificial intelligence for IoT devices - Ontology alignment and matching - Gibsonian affordances in the IoT - Embodied cognition SUBMISSION All submissions must be written in English and submitted as PDF files. All submissions must use the LNCS style. Extended abstracts must be submitted electronically using the Confy system (http://confy.eai.eu/52190) session track “Affordances in the Internet of Things”.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP--Special Issue on Big Data and Information Security Management (JIPS) Datum: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 21:55:15 -1000 Von: Ta-wei Wang <twwang(a)hawaii.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Journal of Information Privacy and SecuritySpecial Issue on Big Data and Information Security Management* With the advance in information technology, companies nowadays are able to collect more information from the public or from the potential/existing customers, such as purchasing activities, discussion of products or usage videos. These pieces of information flow into the company faster than before and in huge amount and different formats. However, recent high profile information security breach incidents have raised ever-increasing concerns regarding how companies access, manage and use the collected information. This special issue attempts to address current practices, opportunities and challenges brought by big data in the context of information security management. Specifically, the special issue will consider original research articles from different perspectives and different methodologies that cover the following subjects (but are not limited to): - What kind of information do companies collect? What are the related management policies? What are the new techniques and processes companies use to store, integrate and exploit the information? - What are the new opportunities and challenges of big data on information governance? How does the governance and management structure affect the collection and the exploitation of new information? What are the risks associated with the new techniques and processes for the companies? - What are the privacy concerns and ethical issues related to the collection and management of the information? What are the corresponding laws and regulations or the governmental role? - Does the collection and integration of new information provide additional opportunities when assessing information security risks or the corresponding consequences? *Important Dates:* Submission Due: September 1, 2016 Revision Due: February 28, 2017 Final Manuscript Due: May 31, 2017 Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2017 *Guest Editors:* Tawei (David) Wang University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, HI, USA Carol Hsu National Taiwan University Taipei, Taiwan _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Dates: Submission deadline: May 6 2016 Notification of Acceptance: June 17 2016 Submission of Camera Ready: October 2, 2016 Objectives of the Workshop: The recent advances in networking have determined an increasing use of information technology to support interactive networked cooperativeapplications. Several novel applications have emerged in this area: social networks, distributed gamification applications like Nike+ or MyStarbucksRewards, collaborative learning systems, large scale crowd based applications, collaborative work platforms. This kind of applications can be generally referred as Large Scale Distributed Virtual Environments (LSDVE). The definition of these applications requires to afford several challenges, like the design of user interfaces, coordination protocols, and proper middle-ware and architectures supporting distributed cooperation. Collaborative applications may greatly benefit from the support of different kinds of platforms, both cloud and peer to peer and also platforms recently proposed for Internet of things (IoT), like fog computing. Integration of different platforms, for instance mobile and cloud environmentsis currently a challenge. Furthermore, the analysis and validation of the huge amount of content generated by these applications asks for big data analysis,and processing techniques. This workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers to present and discuss important aspects of large scale networked collaborative applications and of the platforms supporting them. The workshop's aim is to investigate open challenges for such applications, related to both the applications design and to the definition of proper architectures. Some important challenges are, for instance, collaborative protocols design, latency reduction/hiding techniques for guaranteeing real time constraints, large-scale processing of user information, privacy and security issues, state consistency/persistence. The workshop will both present assessment of current state and introduce further directions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Interactive Networked Environments Distributed Online Social Networks Gamification in industry and for learning Large Scale Crowd Based Applications Computer Supported Collaborative Work Massively Multiplayer Online Games Content generation and validation Distributed Algorithms for LSDVE Massive-scale Big Data Processing for LSDVE Security and Privacy in LSDVE Distributed Platforms for collaborative applications: cloud, peer to peer, mobile, opportunistic, fog Program Commettee Michele Amoretti, university of Parma Emanuele Carlini, ISTI CNR, Pisa, Italy Patrizio Dazzi, ISTI CNR, Pisa, Italy Kalman Graffi, University of Dusseldorf, Germany Barbara Guidi, University of Pisa, Italy Alexandru Iosup, TU Delft, Holland Pedro Garcia Lopez, University Rovira i Virgili, Spain Jose Antonio Fernandes de Macedo, Federal University of Cearà, Brasil Alberto Montresor, University of Trento, Italy Pietro Michiardi, EURECOM, France Dana Petcu, West University of Timisoara, Romania Florin Pop, University Politehnica of Bucarest, Romania Radu Prodan, Institute of Computer Science, Innsbruck, Austria Laura Ricci, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy Alexey Vinel, Tampere University of Technology, Finlande.

Workshop Website: https://futurepd.wordpress.com/ IMPORTANT DATES 7 May 2016: Workshop papers submission 1 June 2016: Notification of acceptance 7 June 2016: Camera-ready version due Please submit to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=futurepd2016 MOTIVATION Quantified Self (QS) aims to use technology to collect personal data on different aspects of people’s daily lives. QS tools are more and more allowing people to self-track a variety of information related to their behaviors (sleep, food), activities (walking, run), psychological states (mood, stress), physiological parameters (heart rate, blood sugar level), locations, etc. As the current availability on the market of wearables and mobile applications for self-tracking is making it plausible that QS technologies will become pervasive in the near future, we have to start to explore how to employ personal data effectively for a broad user base and to enable new complex forms of personalization and user modeling. In this workshop we want to explore a variety of challenges and explore different opportunities: i) how can we model users’ habits and everyday activities through user modeling techniques based on “real-world” user’s data (related to e.g. user’s cognition, behavior, habits, physiology)? ii) how can we convey new forms of recommendations and personalized feedback, goals, plans based on these data? iii) which kind of personalized services and applications can be improved by this renewed availability of personal data in different domains? iv) how can we define new personalized ways to present the data collected, in order to make them simple to understand and improve the meaningfulness of the interfaces and visualizations provided? v) how can we face ethical and theoretical issues, e.g. to the user’s privacy and the possibility of storing all her experiences? TOPICS Relevant workshop topics include but are not limited to: i) New techniques for collecting data and engaging people in tracking them; ii) Reflections on how “real-world” personal data could enable new complex forms of personalization; iii) New ways to model users on the basis of real-world data; iv) Wearables’ data for personalization and user modeling; v) New services and applications for making personal data actionable, in order e.g. to trigger behavior change processes, provide health personalized services, enrich the recollection of memories, and support processes of learning; vi) New personalized interaction modalities and visualizations to manipulate personal information; vii) New techniques for interconnect, analyze and model personal data viii) Theoretical reflections and thought-provoking insights about the future of personalization and modeling of human real-life behavior and how they could change our lives; ix) Ethical issues related to the future pervasiveness of QS technologies and availability of personal data. SUBMISSION All workshop papers must be 2-8 pages long in the 2015-2016 ACM SIG Proceedings template and submitted via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=futurepd2016 The deadline for submission is May 7, 2016. Papers should be in pdf format and should not be anonymized. We will accept both position papers and research papers, case studies, future research challenges and reflections. Papers will be reviewed by the program committee based on their pertinence with the workshop topics, quality of the exposition and, mainly, potential to trigger discussions and insights for inspiring the design of new solutions during the workshop. All the accepted manuscripts will be included in the UMAP supplemental proceedings published with CEUR. Best papers will be considered to submit an improved version to a special issue on an International Journal. ORGANIZERS Amon Rapp. University of Torino, Torino, Italy (amon.rapp(a)gmail.com).
