Please distribute to interested parties.] KR Doctoral Consortium Call for Applications October 30 - November 2, 2018 Tempe, Arizona, US http://kr2018.org/ The 16th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2018) invites PhD students to apply for the Doctoral Consortium program. 1) AIMS AND SCOPE The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a student mentoring program bringing together PhD students and senior researchers from the area of KR. The aims of the consortium are: * to provide a forum for students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers; * to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas; * to support students with information and advice on academic, research, and industrial careers. The DC is intended for PhD students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Preference will be given to students satisfying these criteria, but well-motivated applications from students who are at earlier or later stages of their doctoral studies will still be considered. For accepted students there will be a row of dedicated events, including DC invited talks on research practice, a lightning talk session, a poster session, and a mentoring lunch. Each student will be given ample time to present their work and therefore be able to fully benefit from direct feedback from the assigned senior researcher mentor and the wider KR conference audience. 2) APPLICATION SUBMISSION Applications must be submitted by email. Each application must contain the following elements combined into a single PDF document.: (1) Thesis summary. A description of the problem being addressed, your motivation for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research, the progress to date (what you have already achieved and what remains to be done), and related work. It must be four pages maximum in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php). (2) Curriculum Vitae. A description of your background and relevant experience (research, education, employment), of two pages maximum. (3) Letter of recommendation. A letter from your thesis advisor that states that he/she supports your participation in the DC. (4) Indication of whether a sponsored studentship is requested, and if so, whether the student volunteers to help with local organization during KR, DL, and NMR. (5) Optionally, a suggestion of up to 5 potential mentors with similar research interests, who could give good advice on technical aspects related to the work, and/or career opportunities. The selection process will consider the quality of the submitted proposal and the stage of the student's PhD project. Doctoral students who submit to the DC are permitted to have previously published on their research, and are encouraged to submit papers to KR 2018 and associated conferences and workshops. 3) IMPORTANT DATES Application deadline: June 24, 2018 Acceptance notification: July 11, 2018 Doctoral Consortium: October 30 - November 2, 2018 For further information, please contact the DC chairs: Madalina Croitoru, University Montpellier (croitoru(a)lirmm.fr) Sebastian Rudolph, TU Dresden (sebastian.rudolph(a)tu-dresden.de) -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Please distribute to interested parties.] CALL FOR PAPERS *** KR 2018 *** 16th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Tempe, Arizona (USA) October 30-November 2, 2018 kr2018.org/ Co-located with DL 2018 [dl.kr.org/] and NMR 2018 [www.kr.org/NMR] KR 2018 IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------- * Submission of title and abstract: 13 May 2018 * Paper submission deadline: 20 May 2018 * Author response period: 25-27 June 2018 * Notification: 11 July 2018 * Camera-ready papers due: 3-10 August 2018 * Conference date: 30 October-2 November 2018 ------------------------ Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) is an exciting, well-established field of research. In KRR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KRR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, such as automated planning, natural language understanding, among others, as well as to fields beyond AI, including databases, verification, and software engineering. In recent years KRR has contributed to new and emerging fields including the semantic web, computational biology, and the development of software agents. The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. Contrary to previous editions, KR 2018 will also feature an open call for workshop and tutorial proposals. The deadline for submissions is 21 February 2018. Workshops and tutorials will precede the KR technical program and will run on 27-29 October 2018. Please check the KR 2018 website for further information and updates. We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KRR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KRR. We also encourage "reports from the field" of applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Papers must be submitted in AAAI style and PDF format. We invite two kinds of submissions: * full papers of up to 9 pages including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements, which may take up to one additional page; submission of additional material (e.g. proofs) as separate documents is allowed, but this material should not form an integral part of the submission and will only be consulted at the discretion of reviewers, PC members and (area and program) chairs, as appropriate; * short papers describing applications, systems and/or demos, of up to 4 pages including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements, which may take up to one additional page. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Argumentation * Belief revision and update, belief merging, information fusion * Computational aspects of knowledge representation * Concept formation, similarity-based reasoning * Contextual reasoning * Description logics * Decision making * Explanation finding, diagnosis, causal reasoning, abduction * Inconsistency- and exception tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics * KR and autonomous agents: intelligent agents, cognitive robotics, multi-agent systems * KR and game theory * KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge discovery and acquisition * KR and natural language processing * KR and the Web, Semantic Web * Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming * Multi- and order-sorted representations and reasoning * Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics * Philosophical foundations of KR * Ontology formalisms and models * Preference modeling and representation, reasoning about preferences, * preference-based reasoning * Qualitative reasoning, reasoning about physical systems * Reasoning about actions and change, action languages, situation calculus, dynamic logic * Reasoning about knowledge and belief, epistemic and doxastic logics * Spatial reasoning and temporal reasoning * Uncertainty, representations of vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics CONFERENCE CHAIRS ----------------- General: Frank Wolter (University of Liverpool, UK) Program: Michael Thielscher (The University of New South Wales, Australia) Francesca Toni (Imperial College London, UK) Local Organization: Joohyung Lee (Arizona State University, USA) Tran Cao Son (New Mexico State University, USA) Doctoral Consortium: Sebastian Rudolph (Technische Universität Dresden, Germany) Madalina Croitoru (University Montpellier II and INRIA, France) Workshop/tutorial Chairs: Sebastian Sardina (RMIT Melbourne, Australia) Ivan Varzinczak (Univ.

However, by extension Data Center Systems can be defined as the whole system rooted in a physical Data Center installation that includes the human resource, the service, the financial, the procurement and the operations sub-systems. Data Centers (and Data Center Systems) have become in relevant organizational assets for generating valuable information resources and providing Information Technology and Communication (ICT) functionalities to local and remote internal or external end users. Furthermore, in the last decade, with the explosion of web-based and inter-organizational systems for these type of end users, in large and medium-sized organizations with international operations, the Data Centers Systems can be considered as mission-critical assets whose availability, performance, power efficiency, security, continuity, and overall effectiveness must be guaranteed in order to avoid critical downtimes (Arregoces & Portolani, 2003; Bilal et al., 2013). Industry reports (Siemon, 2005; ENP, 2011) indicate that 1-hr downtime costs in Data Centers installation varies from US $10,000 to US $6,000,000 to organizations providing services such as: ATM, cellular services, air line reservations, on-line shopping, package shipping, credit card authorizations, and brokerage operations. Additional to direct financial costs, organizations can also suffer negative impacts from a data center’s downtime on: image by business disruption, end-user productivity, IT productivity, and third-party operational delay (ENP, 2011). Thus, Data Centers installations are currently key organizational assets, and their high value proposition in ensuring business continuity operations has been highlighted. However, the planning, design, implementation, operation and control, maintenance, evolution, and disposal (when the useful data center’s life has been reached) of data centers, in modern times represents a complex intertwined net of processes (Holtsnider & Jaffe, 2012). The explosion of ICT has introduced both critical technical engineering problems and challenges for Data Centers managers (Greenberg et al., 2006; Daim et al., 2009; Alaraifi et al., 2013; Covas et al., 2013). In turn, the economic, and socio-political environmental international issues have also introduced managerial challenges for Data Center managers regarding green IT initiatives, IT service management initiatives, IT managerial cost reduction, provision of effective valued IT services, timely release of IT services, and assuring a high IT service availability and continuity status (Conger et al., 2008; Galup et al., 2009). In particular, the conceptualization of Data Centers as service systems (Mora et al., 2009; Törhönen, 2014) and the link with the design of IT services (Mora et al., 2015) as well as their final implementation in Data Centers is missing in the literature. Furthermore, traditionally the knowledge sources on data center processes have come from the ICT industry. Thus there is a wide knowledge gap between the academic and industry sectors on critical management and technical issues on Data Centers at present. This is due to the explosion of ICT, the high costs for having laboratories type Data Centers in the academic environments, the lack of textbooks on Data Centers, and the scarcity of undergraduate and graduate courses on these topics (Schaeffer, 1981; Gusev et al., 2014; Memari et al., 2014). Nevertheless, we consider that knowledge with rigor and relevance must be produced from both academia and industry.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Last reminder on: CFP on Critical Management and Technical Issues of Data Center Systems - deadline extended to Sep.30.2017 Datum: Fri, 15 Sep 2017 20:20:30 -0500 (CDT) Von: mmora(a)securenym.net An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): rory.oconnor(a)dcu.ie, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de ----------------------------------------------------------------- Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach (IJITSA) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue On: Critical Management and Technical Issues of Data Center Systems Submission Due Date September 30, 2017 Website: https://www.igi-global.com/calls-for-papers-special/international-journal-i… Introduction Data Centers are installations specifically built with the primary purpose to house and provide the adequate environmental conditions (space, power, cooling, and physical security) for the computer and telecommunication equipment used in an organization (Snevely, 2002). However, by extension Data Center Systems can be defined as the whole system rooted in a physical Data Center installation that includes the human resource, the service, the financial, the procurement and the operations sub-systems. Data Centers (and Data Center Systems) have become in relevant organizational assets for generating valuable information resources and providing Information Technology and Communication (ICT) functionalities to local and remote internal or external end users. Furthermore, in the last decade, with the explosion of web-based and inter-organizational systems for these type of end users, in large and medium-sized organizations with international operations, the Data Centers Systems can be considered as mission-critical assets whose availability, performance, power efficiency, security, continuity, and overall effectiveness must be guaranteed in order to avoid critical downtimes (Arregoces & Portolani, 2003; Bilal et al., 2013). Industry reports (Siemon, 2005; ENP, 2011) indicate that 1-hr downtime costs in Data Centers installation varies from US $10,000 to US $6,000,000 to organizations providing services such as: ATM, cellular services, air line reservations, on-line shopping, package shipping, credit card authorizations, and brokerage operations. Additional to direct financial costs, organizations can also suffer negative impacts from a data centers downtime on: image by business disruption, end-user productivity, IT productivity, and third-party operational delay (ENP, 2011). Thus, Data Centers installations are currently key organizational assets, and their high value proposition in ensuring business continuity operations has been highlighted. . However, the planning, design, implementation, operation and control, maintenance, evolution, and disposal (when the useful data centers life has been reached) of data centers, in modern times represents a complex intertwined net of processes (Holtsnider & Jaffe, 2012). The explosion of ICT has introduced both critical technical engineering problems and challenges for Data Centers managers (Greenberg et al., 2006; Daim et al., 2009; Alaraifi et al., 2013; Covas et al., 2013). In turn, the economic, and socio-political environmental international issues have also introduced managerial challenges for Data Center managers regarding green IT initiatives, IT service management initiatives, IT managerial cost reduction, provision of effective valued IT services, timely release of IT services, and assuring a high IT service availability and continuity status (Conger et al., 2008; Galup et al., 2009). In particular, the conceptualization of Data Centers as service systems (Mora et al., 2009; Törhönen, 2014) and the link with the design of IT services (Mora et al., 2015) as well as their final implementation in Data Centers is missing in the literature. Furthermore, traditionally the knowledge sources on data center processes have come from the ICT industry. Thus there is a wide knowledge gap between the academic and industry sectors on critical management and technical issues on Data Centers at present. This is due to the explosion of ICT, the high costs for having laboratories type Data Centers in the academic environments, the lack of textbooks on Data Centers, and the scarcity of undergraduate and graduate courses on these topics (Schaeffer, 1981; Gusev et al., 2014; Memari et al., 2014). Nevertheless, we consider that knowledge with rigor and relevance must be produced from both academia and industry. ICT academia has published research on IT service management process frameworks, cloud computing performance models (Bilal et al., 2014), and other related issues. On the other hand, ICT industry has advanced with green IT metrics (Daim et al., 2009; Loos et al., 2011; Wang and Khan, 2011), maturity models (Singh et al., 2011) and best practices for software development such as DevOps (Kim et al., 2015; Stier et al., 2015) where data center engineers are included for a fast and correct software release (Pollard et al., 2010; Kliazovich et al., 2012). Hence, updated, integrative, scientific and practical knowledge is required to address critical managerial and technical issues on planning, designing, implementing, operating and controlling, maintaining, evolving, and disposal of Data Centers Systems. Objective This special issue pursues to encourage in the Information System community the interest and engagement in doing high quality research on critical management and technical issues found, lived and expected to be solved in thousands of Data Centers spread in worldwide (mainly in well-developed economies). Recommended Topics Topics to be addressed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following ones: Conceptual studies on: Fundamental concepts on Data Centers from deep literature review Classifications of Data Centers (business vs scientific; centralized vs distributed, tiers I, II, III or IV; private vs cloud vs ISP) Data Centers Architectures Organizational Designs for Data Centers Systems Data Centers as Service Systems Taxonomies of Services delivered by Data Centers Systems Value of Data Centers Systems Methodologies for Designing Data Center Systems Methodologies for Designing IT Services in Data Centers Systems Literature review on ICT Tools for Data Centers Systems Risk Management in Data Centers Systems Data Centers Metrics Data Centers Maturity Models Data Centers Standards (TIA 942, Uptime Institute Framework, IEEE 493, ISO/IEC 27000, NIST standards, among others) Simulation Models on Data Centers Systems Empirical Studies on: Implementation of Best Data Centers Practices (ITSM frameworks, standards) Critical Success Factors for Implementing Data Centers Economic Benefits of Data Centers Impacts of ICT Tools for Managing Data Centers Risks Factors found in Data Centers Systems Impacts of Data Centers Disaster Recovery Plans Quality of IT Services in Data Centers Emergent Practices in Data Centers Systems (Green ICT, DevOps, Cloud, Business Analytics tools, among others) Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Critical Management and Technical Issues on Data Centers Systems on or before September 30th, 2017.

Fwd: [WI] Last CfP: Teilkonferenz "Strategisches IT-Management" im Rahmen der MKWI 2018
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Last CfP: Teilkonferenz "Strategisches IT-Management" im Rahmen der MKWI 2018 Datum: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 15:20:38 +0200 Von: Nils Urbach <nils.urbach(a)uni-bayreuth.de> Antwort an: Nils Urbach <nils.urbach(a)uni-bayreuth.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de (Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen.) ** *Call for Papers für MKWI-Teilkonferenz Strategisches IT-Management* Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2018, 6. bis 9. März 2018 in Lüneburg http://mkwi2018.leuphana.de/ *Leitung* Prof. Dr. Frederik Ahlemann, Universität Duisburg-Essen (Hauptkontaktperson) Prof. Dr. Nils Urbach, Universität Bayreuth Prof. Dr. Reinhard Schütte, Universität Duisburg-Essen *Inhalt* Unter dem Stichwort „Digitalisierung“ stellen technologische Innovationen, wie beispielweise Big Data, Internet der Dinge, Smart Devices und Cloud Computing, IT-Organisationen vor neue Herausforderungen. Haben sie sich bislang darauf konzentriert, die Anforderungen der Fachbereiche möglichst effektiv und effizient in qualitativ hochwertige IT-Services zu übersetzen und diese zu betreiben, sind sie heute in zunehmenden Maße gefordert, das Gesamtunternehmen aktiv mitzugestalten. Da Informationstechnologien (IT) und Informationssysteme (IS) heute und vor allem zukünftig in noch stärkerem Maße dazu verwendet werden, innovative Produkte, Dienstleistungen und Geschäftsmodelle zu realisieren, ergibt sich für IT-Organisationen die Notwendigkeit, proaktiv und frühzeitig mit den Fachbereichen zu kooperieren, um solche Innovationen gemeinsam konzipieren und auf den Weg bringen zu können. Konzepte wie Co-Location, Bi-modale IT, IT-Innovationsmanagement und Facharchitekturmanagement können als Vorboten einer „neuen IT“ verstanden werden, die die bloße Rolle des IT-Dienstleisters verlässt und als Berater, Enabler und Innovator tätig wird. Auf der anderen Seite vereinfachen Entwicklungen wie Cloud Computing, XaaS oder auch branchenspezifische Prozessstandardisierungen die Auslagerung von Elementen der IT-Wertschöpfungskette. Das Management von IT-Infrastrukturen, die Entwicklung neuer Software sowie der IT-Betrieb können somit vergleichsweise unkompliziert spezialisierten Anbietern überlassen werden, welche notwendige Kompetenzen vorhalten und Skaleneffekte realisieren können. Diese Entwicklungen sind ihrer Natur nach nicht neu: Bereits zu Mitte der 90er Jahre wurde mit Verweis auf das Internet und das gerade im Entstehen begriffene E-Business die disruptive Kraft der IT betont. Daraus leitete sich die Forderung nach Innovationstätigkeit und besonderer Nähe zum „Business“ ab. So gab es beispielsweise die Vorstellung, dass der CIO ein Vorstandsmitglied sein solle und die IT-Funktion stark in strategische Prozesse einzubeziehen sei. Was ist seitdem passiert? Kritiker werden einwerfen: Nicht viel. Andere werden auf die mannigfaltigen Weiterentwicklungen im IT-Management verweisen, die zu einer erheblichen Professionalisierung geführt haben. Die Teilkonferenz möchte Wissenschaftlern und wissenschaftlich orientierten Praktikern vor diesem Hintergrund die Möglichkeit geben, aktuelle Fragestellungen und Forschungsaktivitäten im Kontext des strategischen IT-Management vorzustellen und zu diskutieren. *Mögliche Themen für Beiträge* Einreichungen können sich mit folgenden Schwerpunkten der Teilkonferenz beschäftigen, sind aber nicht darauf beschränkt: * Innovative Modelle und Werkzeuge für das Strategische IT-Management * Business-IT-Alignment und Digitalisierung * Gestaltung/Unterstützung von Digitalisierungsstrategien und Auswirkungen auf das Strategische IT-Management * IT-Governance, Compliance und Standardisierung * Management der IT-Organisation, die (sich verändernde) Rolle des CIOs und die (neue) Rolle des CDOs * Messung der Performance und des Wertbeitrags der IT * Strategisches Management von Unternehmensarchitekturen * Konzepte und Ansätze für das Projekt- und Projektportfoliomanagement * Supplier-Management, IT-Outsourcing, Cloud-Computing und Make-or-Buy-Entscheidungen * Ansätze für das IT-Innovationsmanagement * Organisationsstrukturen der IT-Organisation der Zukunft * Neue Organisationskonzepte wie Bi-modale IT oder DevOps *Programmkomitee* Prof. Dr. Stephan Aier, Universität St. Gallen Prof. Dr. Rainer Alt, Universität Leipzig Prof. Dr. Tilo Böhmann, Universität Hamburg Prof. Dr. Arne Buchwald, EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht, Wiesbaden Dr. Andreas Drechsler, Victoria University of Wellington Prof. Dr. Andreas Eckhardt, German Graduate School of Management & Law Prof. Dr. Heiko Gewald, Hochschule Neu-Ulm Dr. Daniel Fürstenau, Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Dr. Gilbert Fridgen, Universtität Bayreuth Prof. Dr. Thomas Kude, ESSEC Business School Prof. Dr. Johann Kranz, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Prof. Dr. Alexander Mädche, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Prof. Dr. Christian Matt, Universität Bern Dr. Benjamin Müller, University of Groningen Prof. Dr. Markus Nüttgens, Universität Hamburg Prof. Dr. Ali Sunyaev, Universität Kassel Dr. Manuel Trenz, Universität Augsburg Prof. Dr. Heinz-Theo Wagner, German Graduate School of Management & Law Prof. Dr. Markus Westner, Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg Prof. Dr. Thomas Widjaja, Universität Passau Prof. Dr. Martin Wiener, Bentley University Prof. Dr. Till Winkler, Copenhagen Business School *Einreichung und Begutachtungsprozess* * Die Einreichung von Beiträgen zur MKWI 2018 ist bis zum *30. September 2017* möglich. * Beiträge können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden (der Vortrag ist in der Sprache des eingereichten Beitrags zu halten). * Sämtliche Beiträge werden durch ein Programmkomitee zweifach-blind begutachtet. * Die Autoren werden gebeten, ihre Beiträge zu anonymisieren, indem Namen, Anschrift etc. auf dem Deckblatt weggelassen werden und die Metadaten in den Word- bzw. PDF-Dokumenten gelöscht werden. * Die Einreichung kann nur für eine Teilkonferenz erfolgen. * Die Einreichung der Beiträge erfolgt ausschließlich online über das Konferenzsystem easychair. *Veröffentlichung* Alle akzeptierten Beiträge werden in den Tagungsband aufgenommen. Dieser wird den Tagungsteilnehmern in elektronischer Form zur Verfügung gestellt (PDF/E-Book). Die Aufnahme eines akzeptierten Beitrags in den Tagungsband setzt voraus, dass sich mindestens eine Autorin oder ein Autor zur Tagung angemeldet und den Konferenzbeitrag entrichtet hat. Bei der MKWI 2018 kann den Autoren ein Wahlrecht eingeräumt werden, ob angenommene Beiträge als vollständiger Beitrag oder als Extended Abstract (min. 2 und max. 4 Seiten inkl. Literaturverzeichnis etc.) im Tagungsband aufgenommen werden.
