The Business Process Monitoring and Performance Analysis in the Cloud workshop addresses broad issues on business process monitoring and analysis in the context of cloud computing, from a technical and business perspective. The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, present and discuss their most recent achievements and lessons learned addressing the challenges related to Business Process Monitoring and Assessment in a Cloud/ multi-Cloud environment. Cloud computing has emerged as a paradigm for the use and delivery of resources. It received high acceptance while transforming the support of on-demand access, economics of scale and dynamic sourcing alternatives. Different IT resources and capabilities are available in the context of cloud computing (such as: business processes, services, networking) facilitating rapid provisioning, flexible pricing, elastic scaling and resilience. Although Business Process Management has matured as a scientific field and as an industry practice, it is not yet fully explored in the context of cloud computing. Cloud computing provides new opportunities for sharing and configuring business processes and services. This brings numerous challenges for monitoring and analysing business processes and services executed in the cloud. This workshop aims at addressing this gap. By bringing together experts working on different levels of the cloud stack (e.g., systems, storage, networking platforms, applications), this workshop offers a unique ground for researchers and practitioners to foster research and its applications in practice by addressing the challenges in the areas of cloud computing and business process management. This workshop seeks to provide researchers and practitioners a forum to exchange information on theories and principles, emerging technologies, tools and practical experiences related to Business Process Monitoring and Performance Analysis in the context of Cloud Computing. Besides providing a mix of technical and business presentations, this workshop will include a keynote talk by Prof. dr. ir. Wil van der Aalst<http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/~wvdaalst/>. The keynote will be on Comparative Process Mining in the Cloud<http://www.cloudbpm2016.org/keynote-speech/>. Call for Papers This workshop encourages the submission of papers presenting novel research and development works/projects on technical and business related aspects on Business Process Monitoring and Analysis in the Cloud. The workshop particularly values the practical experience in designing methods and deploying tools to support such monitoring and analysis. The papers may present new concepts and approaches related to monitoring and analysis of business processes in cloud environments, tools and systems providing practical implementations supporting such methods and approaches, and the integration and configuration of services in business oriented systems. In addition, we are also interested in application papers discussing the applicability of these methods and techniques to real-world problems. Submissions of original and unpublished works are invited, including research, theory and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Methods and frameworks for business process monitoring and performance analysis in cloud environments; -Strategies and strategic decisions for business process monitoring and performance analysis, and its implications (e.g., concerning optimal cloud resources utilization, business process improvement); -Tools supporting business process monitoring and analysis in cloud environments, with application in different domains, such as: logistics, healthcare; -Key performance indicators for business process monitoring and performance analysis in cloud environments; -Clouds and cross-organizational process mining; -Business process configuration in the cloud; -Data extraction for business process monitoring and analysis in the cloud.

In the last decades, the increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable. Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops which were held in Turin, Turku and Crete, we are glad to invite you to our fourth edition which will take place in St. Petersburg (Russia). An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications - Complex systems modelling and simulation - Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence implementations - Integrated approach to optimization and simulation - MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation As for previous editions, organizers of the HPCMS session are planning a Special Issue of an important international ISI Journal, based on distinguished papers that will be accepted for the session. For instance, a selected number of papers of the past workshop editions have been published on the ISI Journal “International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications” and “Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience”.

Below is a brief description of each workshop and the due date for submissions. The papers accepted for presentation will be included in the workshops volume of the proceedings of the conference. Each workshop is linked to its Call for Papers page, which contains a full description of the workshop, the names of organizers and the technical committee members, and the dates and instructions for submitting papers for review. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Foundations of Big Data Computing (BigDF) July 24th - Submit Abstract August 1st - Submit Paper ------------------------------------------------------------- The BigDF workshop aims to answer several questions, including: What constitutes a “Big Data” problem? What application domains are best suited to benefit from Big Data analytics and computing? What are the traits and characteristics of an application that make it suited to exploit Big Data analytics? How can Big Data systems and frameworks be designed to allow the integration and analysis of complex data sets? How can research in Big Data Analytics benefit from the latest advances in supercomputing and High Performance Computing (HPC) architectures? ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) August 31st - Submit Paper ------------------------------------------------------------- The CFD workshop is intended for the CFD user community to provide a common platform to share their experiences, best practices, and challenges in high performance computing. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an dynamic and highly demanding research area in which computers use numerical methods to solve problems involving fluid flows. Since several equations with millions of unknowns need to be solved iteratively, CFD analysis requires enormous computational power and efficient parallel implementations of the numerical algorithms. Recent developments have reduced computational time in CFD analysis. Nevertheless, the scalability of CFD codes remains challenging in many large scale applications, and the computations take days to simulate a few seconds of real time physics, sometimes making CFD an impractical tool for industrial applications. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) High Performance Computing and Big Data in Molecular Engineering (HBME) August 24th - Submit Abstract ------------------------------------------------------------- The HBNE workshop will address challenges to high performance computing prompted by the emergence of molecular engineering as a discipline which employs and develops approaches within HPC as well as mathematical modelling, simulation, and optimization. Reaching quantitative agreement with the available experimental data, and predicting thermophysical properties where experimental data are absent, molecular engineering constitutes a promising approach for optimizing engineering processes. Current and upcoming supercomputers consist of hundred-thousands to millions of cores. For simulations that are carried out over a substantial amount of time on huge core counts, specific challenges emerge, and this workshop will provide a platform for presenting work aimed at overcoming those challenges. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Software Composable Infrastructure (SCI) August 15th - Submit Paper ------------------------------------------------------------- The SCI workshop on the topic of composable software-defined infrastructure (SCI) is interested in work related to emerging requirements for datacenter operations to support an increasing variety of applications. each with their own infrastructure requirements. Some applications require support for predictable low latency processing, others run in the background crunching huge datasets. Some are compute intensive and some require huge amounts of memory. Still other applications may require their data and processing to be co-located. Thus, the challenge is how to use the same resources to efficiently support a diverse set of applications. ------------------------------------------------------------- ****HiPC 2016 Student Research Symposium (SRS): Call for Papers**** ------------------------------------------------------------- •August 15th ............SRS Submission Opens •September 16th .....SRS Submission Deadline •November 1st .........SRS Accept/Reject Decision Notification ------------------------------------------------------------- The 9th Student Research Symposium on High Performance Computing, Data, and Analytics (SRS) is aimed at stimulating and fostering student research, and providing an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments in HPC.

SMD-OS Security Issues: Generation Y Perception Heru Susanto (Department of Information Management, Tunghai University, Taichung, Taiwan & Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Jakarta, Indonesia), Mohammad Nabil Almunawar (School of Business and Economics, University of Brunei Darussalam, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei), Fang-Yie Leu (Department of Information Management, Tunghai University, Taichung, Taiwan), Chin Kang Chen (School of Business and Economics, University of Brunei Darussalam, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei) A smart mobile device (SMD for short) has become indispensable for individuals nowadays. The most common SMD-OS (operating system) used such as Google's Android, Apple's iOS, Microsoft's Windows Phone, Nokia's Symbian, RIM's BlackBerry OS. Such OS can be installed on different brands of SMD, like Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, except for Apple's iOS, which is only available on Apple products. The authors' research is an attempt to provide a picture of preferences over the SMD-OS function and security, Generation Y perception, Brunei perspective, and compare with the actual circumstances of SMD (OS) security aspects and breaches in the world. The results are interesting. Generation Y, prefer SMD as their personal assistance, such as browsing, e-book, social network and online transaction. This can be easily understood since they are computer literate, technologically savvy and heavily involved in various online activities. In operating system point of view, the big two and most pop ular SMD-OS, android and iOS as major player, particularly in the function and security issues.

Phadtare (School of General Management, National Institute of Construction Management and Research, Pune, India) Robots are developed for various construction processes and used in countries such as the USA, Japan and China. However, their adoption in India is very limited due to weaknesses in the construction sector. The Indian construction industry is poised to grow at a faster rate due to planned investment. Robots will benefit construction industry by way of better productivity, quality, timely completion, etc. resulting in the growth of construction industry. This paper identifies the structure of influencers of adoption of robots in the Indian infrastructure construction sector using exploratory factor analsis. This structure was validated using confirmatory factor analysis. A total of 20 influencers are identified and grouped in eight factors. Based on these influencers, strategies are recommended to enhance adoption of robots in Indian infrastructure construction industry. Finally the authors identify the influencers that are common to India and other countries in Asia, America, Europe and Australia.

To achieve the desired goal, the researcher applied the system approach in designing the suggested career education curriculum, the developmental research methodology for developing the instructional materials and media, and the quasi-experimental design to measure the effectiveness the proposed curriculum on a sample of the third grade business secondary school students in Egypt. The suggested curriculum contains four main stages/phases: 1) career knowledge generation; 2) career knowledge organization; 3) career knowledge utilization; and 4) career knowledge distribution. These phases were integrated into one system to develop both career knowledge management skills and professional thinking among the target sample. The units of the curriculum were designed in an interactive way according to the principles of the blended-units approach that concentrates on knowledge and knowledge applications for achieving career requirements needed to joining 21st century business and administration jobs. A sample of 50 students enrolled in a business secondary school were selected randomly and divided equally into two groups: the experimental group (n= 25) and the control group (n= 25). The researcher developed two main instruments: 1) an achievement test; and 2) a professional thinking scale. The achievement test included two parts: 1) measuring the professional knowledge, and 2) performance measuring of the skills of designing professional portfolio. In addition, a rubric was used to evaluate the production of the professional portfolio. The findings revealed that the suggested curriculum was effective in developing both career knowledge management domains and professional thinking skills; as there were significant statistical differences between the two groups in favor of the experimental group. A set of educational recommendations were suggested.

The aim of this study is to investigate the use of social media in Saudi government agencies. It adopts a quantitative approach. The study shows that Saudi government agencies are aware of social media and they use them for different purposes. The study argued that government agencies with less engagement with the public are less likely to use social media. Government agencies tend to publish the same content in different social media. Moreover, information dissemination and improving communication with the public were the main motivations for using social media. In terms of enablers, the study shows that awareness of the public about the importance of social media usage was an important issue. Regarding the challenges, lack of dedicated resources such as budget and specialized staff were the main challenges. The study contributes to the literature by addres sing issues related to motivation, factors influenced the decision to adopt social media, enablers and barriers.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Abstracts, SIM and MISQ Executive Workshops on the Sharing Economy at ICIS and HICSS
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Jul '16

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Abstracts, SIM and MISQ Executive Workshops on the Sharing Economy at ICIS and HICSS Datum: Mon, 11 Jul 2016 21:53:36 +0000 Von: Koch, Hope W. <Hope_Koch(a)baylor.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR ABSTRACTS MIS Quarterly Executive Academic Workshops In preparation for the December 2017 Special Issue on The Sharing Economy Sponsored by: The Society for Information Management and MIS Quarterly Executive You can submit to one of 2 workshops: * ICIS in Dublin, Ireland, 10-3, on Saturday 12/10/16 * HICSS in Hawaii, USA, 1-4, on Wednesday, 1/4/17 In preparation for MIS Quarterly Executive's Special Issue on the Sharing Economy, we invite you to submit an abstract for presentation at one of two pre-conference Society for Information Management Academic Workshops. We will hold one workshop just before ICIS in Dublin and one just before HICSS in Hawaii. The sharing economy as a new organization-market hybrid is changing how people and organizations access, buy, and use goods and services (Sundararajan 2016a). It may reshape how the world's economic activity is organized. Traditionally, ownership was assumed necessary to access goods and services, which were usually provided by large corporations with full-time employees. Today, ubiquitous mobile devices, social networks, and marketplace platforms are challenging this assumption. Consumers can share the access to goods and services with each other rather than buy from businesses. People can plug in and out of on-demand platforms as providers fluidly, without an employment relationship. Popular examples of sharing economy platforms include Airbnb in the travel industry, Uber and Lyft in the transportation industry, and Funding Circle in the financial services industry. As these new consumption models gain traction, the potential economic and social gains are immense. By allowing consumers to utilize peer assets, capital, and labor in a more impactful manner, the sharing economy unites altruism, economics, and efficiency. In addition, these new models promise to lower the strain on our natural resources and help us better utilize our excess resources including skills and time. The sharing economy will have far reaching consequences for organizations and society. One market study estimates that by 2025 revenue generated from the sharing economy will grow from $15 billion in 2013 to $335 billion in 2025 (PriceWatershouseCoopers 2013). In April 2016, China's National Information Center projected that the sharing economy will be worth 10 percent of China's total GDP by 2020 (Harsono 2016). This trend has the potential to disrupt an array of industries including education, finance, and real estate. Already, in addition to startups, established players are entering the sharing economy such as Apple with its recent $1-billion investment in Didi Chuxing, Uber's Chinese rival (Carew and Wakabayashi 2016). Markets characterized by redundancy, broken trust, limited access, waste, and complexity are candidates for disruption (Botsman 2014). Recognizing the potential of the sharing economy, some companies are taking steps to transform their business (Botsman 2014). For example, DHL, a freight and logistics company, sensed that its practice of dropping customer packages at pick-up locations rather than delivering them to customer's door steps, frustrated customers. To alleviate this, it launched MyWays, which allow peers to pick up and deliver packages to DHL's last-mile customers. Likewise Marriott, recognizing that it routinely had unused meeting space, partnered with LiquidSpace, a marketplace that helps people find quiet places to work. Other sharing economy models that traditional companies are experimenting with range from "brand as a service" (e.g., Whole Foods has partnered with Instacart, BMW and Daimler offer on-demand transportation through their DriveNow and Car2Go services, respectively) to advertising partnerships, like those between KLM and Airbnb, or Lyft and MasterCard (Owyang 2015). Despite these positive examples, the sharing economy still faces many social, economic, and legal tensions (Slee 2016; Sundararajan 2016a). From a social perspective, concern exists about the long-run implications of using rating systems as a gateway to economic opportunities. For example, the ratings one accumulates on a platform like Uber or Lyft may not be easily portable. As our workforce transitions from full-time employees to independent contractors, concerns remain about funding an adequate social safety net. From an economic perspective, platforms such as Airbnb may displace certain labor categories like hotel cleaning staff and reduce affordable housing for long-term local residents. Contrarily, these platforms may also redistribute short-term accommodation revenues more evenly in society and allow financially challenged homeowners to make their mortgage payments. Legal tensions include concerns over safety and screening as well as over externalities. Platforms and local governments continue to battle. For example, in an attempt to maintain affordable housing, the city of Berlin is restricting private property rentals by tourists through Airbnb and similar online platforms (Guardian 2016). The city of Austin, TX is increasing driver vetting requirements for Uber and Lyft (MacMillan and Silverman 2016). The Austin situation showcases many new governance issues (Sundararajan 2016b). Should the buyer and seller not be solely responsible when something goes wrong? Do we need new regulatory partnership models? The purpose of these pre-conference workshops and MIS Quarterly Executive's special issue is to explore aspects of the sharing economy that are of interest to business and technology leaders. Our objective is to examine the strategic business opportunities and management challenges associated with operating in a sharing economy. We are looking for submissions based on case and/or field studies that provide rich illustrations, frameworks or lessons. We welcome submissions based on both primary and secondary sources. Papers could focus on (but are not limited to) the following topics: * Competing in and leveraging the sharing economy including business models * Business transformations towards the sharing economy * Implications of the sharing economy on firm boundaries, value creation, and governance * Understanding the disruptive forces of the sharing economy * How will the move from institution-driven to platform-driven exchange affect business processes, work practices and technological innovations * The dark side of the sharing economy (e.g., risks, problems, or negative impacts) and ways to mitigate them * Tensions associated with the sharing economy including economic, social, and legal issues * The role of IT in the sharing economy Workshop Deadlines: * Sept. 6, 2016: Submit an abstract of no more than 2 single-spaced pages of text and up to 2 figures. We will not count figures and references in the 2-page limit. * Oct. 20, 2015: Notification of workshop acceptance with preliminary editorial feedback Please submit your abstract at: http://www.baylor.edu/business/mis/index.php?id=932079 Direct questions to Hope Koch, Baylor University, Hope_Koch(a)baylor.edu<mailto:Hope_Koch@baylor.edu> The Special Issue co-editors are: * Iris Junglas, Florida State University, ijunglas(a)business.fsu.edu * Hope Koch, Baylor University, Hope_Koch(a)baylor.edu * Arun Sundararajan, New York University, digitalarun(a)nyu.edu * Ping Wang, University of Maryland, College Park, pwang(a)umd.edu REFERENCES Botsman, R. 2014.
