-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Journal for Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 3 Jul 2017 18:37:09 -0400 (EDT) Von: Dr. Mike Whitman <mwhitman(a)kennesaw.edu> An: aisworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS The Journal on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice (JCERP) hosted and published by the Center for Information Security Education (CISE), Michael J. Coles College of Business, Kennesaw State University, GA, published through DigitalCommons@KSU. The Journal on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice (JCERP) seeks to collect and publish high-quality research, pedagogy, and best practice articles in information security/cybersecurity of interest to teaching and researching faculty members. The goal of JCERP is to be the premier outlet for high-quality security-related articles of interest to teaching and researching cybersecurity faculty members. In order to meet this goal, JCERP solicits high-quality research and practice-oriented articles for double-blind review and publication. Published papers will be focused on best practices and innovation in information security/cybersecurity research, pedagogy and best practices of interest to teaching and researching faculty members. The intended audience for JCERP includes faculty members tasked with the research, instruction and curriculum development of information security/cybersecurity programs. The Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency have jointly recognized dozens of institutions as Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE) including the journal’s home institution. While closely aligned with the Conference on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice, the Journal sollicits and publishes articles independently from the Conference. However, select Conference proceedings are invited to submit to the Journal. JCERP is currently published biannually in June and December. JCERP is a diamond/platinum open access publication, meaning there is no charge to authors or readers. The costs of the Journal are sponsored by the CISE and KSU. If you are interested in submitting a paper, visit the Journal site at http://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/jcerp , and select the Submit Research link in the left margin. If you have any questions, or are interested in serving as a reviewer, feel free to email the editors at infosec(a)kennesaw.edu. Regards -- Michael E.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ToC 8(4) International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Datum: Sun, 2 Jul 2017 20:18:10 -0700 Von: Murray Jennex <mjennex(a)mail.sdsu.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Abstract Announcement for International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (IJISCRAM) 8(4)The contents of the latest issue of: *International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (IJISCRAM)* *An Official Publication of the ISCRAM Association <http://www.iscram.org/category-membership/>* Volume 8, Issue 4, October - December 2016 Indexed by: INSPEC Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1937-9390; EISSN: 1937-9420; Published by IGI Global Publishing, Hershey, USA www.igi-global.com/ijiscram <http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-information-systems…> Editor-in-Chief: Víctor Amadeo Bañuls Silvera (Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Spain) and Murray E. Jennex (San Diego State University, USA) *Note: The International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (IJISCRAM) has an Open Access option, which allows individuals and institutions unrestricted access to its published content. Unlike traditional subscription-based publishing models, open access content is available without having to purchase or subscribe to the journal in which the content is published. All IGI Global manuscripts are accepted based on a double-blind peer review editorial process.* *ARTICLE 1* About Emergency Managers and Their Tools: What Emergency Managers Want from a Business Perspective Cynthia Marie Nikolai (University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN, USA), Chelsea Treboniak (Critical Ops, LLC., Sanford, NC, USA), Page Heller (Hopes Creek Consulting, College Station, TX, USA), Gregory Madey (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, USA) This paper presents findings emerging from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program. The aim of I-Corps is to aid in transitioning academic research into commercialized technology. Through this program, the authors developed and tested hypotheses in search of a sustainable and scalable business model for a potential future company. An element of the rigorous I-Corps curriculum included 133 interviews with emergency manager practitioners from around the country to determine the root of their immediate problems. The unbiased feedback from the industry professionals determined the outcome of our hypotheses, while validating our proposed business model.

Johnson (University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada) Crowdsourcing is a communication platform that can be used during and after a disastrous event. Previous research in crisis crowdsourcing demonstrates its wide adoption for aiding response efforts by non-government organizations and public citizens. There is a gap in understanding the government use of crowdsourcing for emergency management, and in the use of crowdsourcing for mitigation and preparedness. This research aims to characterize crowdsourcing in all phases of the disaster management cycle by government agencies in Canada and the USA. Semi-structured interviews conducted with 22 government officials from both countries reveal that crisis crowdsourced information is used in all phases of the disaster management cycle, though direct crowdsourcing is yet to be applied in the pre-disaster phases. Emergency management officials and scholars have an opportunity to discover new ways to directly use crowdsourcing for mitigation and preparedness.

Gray (University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom), Mark J Weal (University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom), David Martin (University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom) Conceptual frameworks which seek to integrate social media uses into disaster management strategies are employed in a range of events. With continued variations to online practices, developments in technology, and changes in online behaviours, it is imperative to provide conceptual frameworks which are relevant, current and insightful. This paper firstly conceptualizes a range of recent literature through inductive coding and proposes a new conceptual framework of current social media uses. Secondly, the framework is applied to a case study of a multi-hazard disaster: which are predicted to grow in severity and frequency due to climate change, alongside increased habitation of at-risk zones. Storm Desmond 2015 has been selected. Snowball sampling is used to identify networks of interest, and thematic analysis used to track changes in Twitter content over time.

The result shows that: For the network clustering behavior, there is no significant difference between pro-phase and meta- phase of the network group events, the top three for behavior intensity are “network public opinion” behavior, “human flesh search” behavior and “network consensus” behavior; the last three for behavior intensity are “network fatwa” behavior, “network kuso” behavior and “network consensus violence” behavior; For the network clustering behavior, there are significant differences between meta- phase and anaphase of the network group events, compared to meta- phase, the “internet gossip” behavior, “network consensus” behavior, “network fatwa” behavior and ” network rally” behavior will be strengthened, ” network trial” behavior will diminish. Practical application: These network group events bring so many harmful effects for the comprehensive management of cyberspace for government. To find the evolution of network clustering behavior is highly necessary for the government to take immediate and effective measures when the network group event happens.

These sessions are informal and highly interactive, and allow authors and participants to engage in in-depth discussions about the presented work from which new collaborations, ideas, and solutions can emerge. Posters should cover the same key areas as Research Papers and present original, cutting-edge ideas inclusive of speculative/provocative ones. Proposals of new research directions and innovative interdisciplinary approaches are also welcome. Submissions in the following areas are particularly encouraged: - Self-* systems theories, frameworks, models, and paradigms, including the ones inspired by the biological, social, and physical worlds. - Self-* systems engineering: goals and requirements, hardware and software design, deployment, management and control, validation. - Properties of self-* systems: self-organisation and emergent behaviour, self-adaptation, self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc. - Evaluation of self-* systems: methods for performance, robustness, dependability assessment and analysis. - Social self-* systems: emergent human behaviour, crowdsourcing, collective awareness, gamification and serious games. - Applications and experiences with self-* systems: cyber security, transportation, computational sustainability, power systems, large networks, large data centers, and cloud computing. - Autonomic Cloud Computing: Self-managing cloud services. Autonomic resource and energy management in cloud computing. Autonomic cloud applications and services - Autonomic Computing Foundations and Design Methods: Evaluation, validation and quality and correctness assessment of autonomic loops. Theoretical frameworks for modeling and analyzing autonomic computing systems, control and decision theory - Autonomic Computing Systems, Tools and Applications: Self-protection techniques of computing systems, networks and applications. Stochastic analysis and prediction of autonomic systems and applications Demos may target virtual systems (e.g., software applications), physical systems (e.g., robots or sensor networks), or cyber-physical systems combining the two. Physical systems might be presented either with real equipment, by simulation, or hybrid solutions using both simulations and real platforms. Submissions which highlight the utility and general applicability of the contribution - whether short, medium or long term - are particularly solicited, and interactivity of a demo is considered a further asset. ==== Important Dates ==== Submission deadline: July 7, 2017 Notification: July 10, 2017 Camera-ready copy due: July 12, 2017 Conference: September 18-22, 2017 ==== Submission Instructions ==== For evaluation and selection, authors should submit a two-page extended abstract for their poster or demo. The format of this extended abstract must comply with the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and shall be submitted electronically in PDF format. Templates for Word and LaTeX are available here. Demo submissions must include a URL of a website providing a self-explanatory video showing the system at work. Please visit the SASO website for further information on how to submit: www.saso-conference.org ==== Accepted Posters and Demos ==== If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera-ready version of the extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from the reviewers, and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Posters and Demos will be advertised in the final program, and authors’ two-page extended abstracts will be submitted to IEEE Xplore as part of the conference proceedings. Abstracts will also be available as part of the IEEE Digital Library. At least one author of accepted posters or demos is required to register at the conference, give a brief presentation of the poster or demo in the interactive session, as well as stay with the poster and/or demo to discuss the work with conference attendees for the duration of the scheduled session. ==== Poster Content and Layout Guidelines ==== Authors shall prepare their poster for presentation in the reserved session, taking into consideration that all posters should include the following information: - The purpose and goals of the work. - Any background and motivation needed to understand the work. - Any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work. - A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a (re)viewer to understand the work and its relevance. If the work is at an initial stage, it is especially important to state clearly the anticipated contributions and any early results towards them. - The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate. Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to work represented by other accepted posters. - Where to find additional information. This should include but is not restricted to: a web site where viewers can go to find additional information about the work; how to contact the authors, including email addresses; for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information. The format and nature of posters require authors to capture the viewers’ attention effectively, and present core concepts to clearly position the context of their research work. For this reason, graphic representations, figures, and screen shots are typically the main medium of communication in successful posters. Few attendees will stop to read a large poster with dense text. If screen shots are used, please ensure that they print legibly and that the fonts are large enough to be read easily once printed. The recommended size for the poster is A0, and all poster authors are required to print and bring their posters to the conference. ==== Demo Guidelines ==== At the conference, software applications will be presented on computers. For cyber-physical systems, if possible, authors are invited to bring their equipment (smart devices, sensors, actuators, robots, et cetera). Software simulations or video recordings can be accepted as an alternative. Additionally, authors must bring a poster summarising their system and demo, following the above guidelines. ==== Evaluation and Awards ==== Submitted demos will undergo a selection process based to equal parts on the quality of the short paper (novelty and impact, technical soundness and presentation) and the online demo system (design, degree of innovation, technical solution, applicability, clarity of the contribution and potential of reuse). At least one author of accepted demos is required to register to the conference and to do an on-site presentation and demonstration of the contributions to the evaluation committee, as well as the other conference attendees. The evaluation committee, consisting of the Demo Program Committee members attending the conference, will award a prize for the best demo in each system category, with cyber-physical systems classifying for both. ==== Contact Information ==== For any further information, please contact the Posters and Demos Chair. _______________________________________________ fai-saso mailing list fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de https://mailman.rz.uni-augsburg.de/mailman/listinfo/fai-saso

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue on Big Data, Service and Intelligence in IJSSOE Datum: Sat, 1 Jul 2017 10:32:43 +1000 Von: Zhaohao Sun <zhaohao.sun(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, IRMA ListServ <irma-l(a)irma-international.org>, BISC-Group <bisc-group(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Big Data, Service and Intelligence- Methods, Techniques and Applications in International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=54627 The International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering (IJSSOE) (ISSN 1947-3052; eISSN 1947-3060) is an official publication of the Information Resources Management Association (www.igi-global.com/ijssoe). IJSSOE is indexed or listed in the following: ACM Digital Library; Bacon’s Media Directory; Cabell’s Directories; DBLP; Google Scholar; INSPEC; JournalTOCs; MediaFinder; The Standard Periodical Directory; Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory. 1 Rationale Big data have become a strategic resource for organizations, industries, enterprises, businesses, and individuals as well as national security. Big Data are also a key enabler of exploring business insights and economics of services. Big Data are generated from various instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, emails, videos, click streams, social networking services and other sources, characterized with at least 10 Bigs: big volume, big velocity, big variety, big value, big veracity, big market, big service, big intelligence, big opportunity and big challenge to manage using traditional (database) and emerging tools and technologies. These 10 Bigs of big data have been challenging many existing sciences, technologies, methods and techniques in many fields, and then big data has become a hot research area spanning the fields of computer science, information technology and information systems to that of engineering, applied mathematics, optimization, healthcare, business, government, and telecommunications. Big Data applications are emerging in many disciplines, fields and industries globally. Nations, organizations, businesses and individuals have been enjoying the benefits of big data, and are pursuing more benefits from big data and their technologies and applications. Services are playing a pivotal role both in nations, organizations, businesses and individuals, service computing, social computing and cloud computing. This is also true in the traditional FREG (foods, resources, energy and goods) services, because almost all traditional services are fully or partially re-placed by web services. Web services and service computing are changing our work, life and thinking with the healthy development service-centred society. Big data driven services are an emerging frontier for innovations, competences and improving business performance of governments, organisations and enterprises. Intelligence is not only a lasting topic for computer science under the flagship of artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligence computing, but also an exciting topic for industries, organizations and businesses under the flagship of business intelligence (BI). AI has facilitated the development of intelligent services, intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent systems. BI has promoted the improvement of competence of business performance, and supported management decision making of organisations and produced the billionaire level enterprises such as Google and Facebook. Based on the above preliminary analysis, big data, big services, big intelligence and their integration will be the next frontier for innovation, competence and creation of big values for nations, organisations, enterprises and individuals. They will generate new opportunities and challenges for the research and development of organizations, businesses, management, decision science, mathematics and ICT. Big data driven services and big data driven intelligent services with applications are changing the world and society, how people and organizations are doing things and making decisions in the future. They are also changing business models, revenue models, management and decision making processes in companies and organizations, and affecting usage of resources including big data in creating products and services. However, many fundamental issues in developing big data driven services and intelligence remain open in the emerging age of big data, big service and big intelligence. For example, what is the fundamental theory of big services? What is the interrelationship among big data, big service and big intelligence? What is a big intelligent service? This Special Issue in IJSSOE will address these issues by exploring the cutting-edge theory, methods, techniques and applications of big data, service and intelligence. This Special Issue in IJSSOE also provides applications of the proposed theory, methods, techniques and applications to successful services and web services in the real world. The proposed approaches in this special issue will facilitate research and development of web services, business, management, intelligence computing, service computing, cloud computing and social computing. 2 Objective and Topics The objective of this Special Issue in International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering is to present the state of the art research and practical experiences on Big Data, Service and Intelligence from an interdisciplinary viewpoint.
