-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] cfp: Annual Security Conference | Las Vegas Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 10:07:19 +0530 From: Gurpreet Dhillon <gpdhillon9(a)gmail.com> To: AISworld(a)lists.aisnet.org The 18th Annual Security Conference Securing the Interconnected World April 29 - May 1, 2019 The Tuscany Las Vegas, Nevada, USA www.security-conference.org CALL FOR PAPERS Submissions: January 15, 2019. The nature and scope of the Information Security field have evolved over the past several years. No longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic and we tend to consider all aspects of information protection as central to the field of security. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance, and Privacy that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues. Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals, and case studies are invited. All submissions are peer-reviewed and considered for publication in the Journal of Information System Security ( http://www.jissec.org), European Journal of Management Studies and Information and Computer Security. Further details and submission instructions can be found at: www.security-conference.org General Chair Gurpreet Dhillon, The University of North Carolina, Greensboro, USA Co-Conference Chairs Dionysios Demetis, University of Hull, UK Steve Furnell, University of Plymouth, UK Program Chair Mark Harris, Augusta University, USA Mark Schmidt, St. Cloud State University, USA Spiro Samonas, California State University, Long Beach, USA European Outreach Chairs Ella Kolkowska, Örebro University, Sweden Sergio Nunes, ISEG, University of Lisboa, Portugal International Program Committee Atif Ahmad, University of Melbourne, Australia Raj Sharman, University at Buffalo, USA Ian Angell, London School of Economics, UKIMG_0424 James Backhouse, London School of Economics, UK Rita Barrios, Compuware, USA Stefan Beißel, EUFH, Germany Mario Caldeira, ISEG University of Lisboa, Portugal Nathan Clarke, University of Plymouth, UK David L.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd CfP: 9th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference - Lisbon - Portugal (EEWC 2019) Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 00:55:06 +0000 From: EEWC 2019 <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> Reply-To: EEWC 2019 <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Ninth Enterprise Engineering Working Conference /May 20th - 24th 2019, Lisbon, Portugal/ *Important Dates:* *January 28*: Abstract submission (not mandatory*) *February 11*: Paper submission Experience the benefits of a Working Conference featuring an integrated Industry Track and a Doctoral Consortium, in the city of Lisbon, providing inspiration and conditions for an interesting program with significant scientific advancement. The 2019 Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2019) will be the ninth working conference addressing the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering, having as goal to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, mixing rigour and relevance, and to facilitate profound discussions on the issues put forward in the next sections of this Call for Papers. The proceedings of the working conference will, as always, be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0HAFEBBwJWWBhQUQdQGlUPWlJLVQUIC…> (LNBIP). Please distribute this Call for Papers among your colleagues, and/or mailing lists you belong to, that may be possibly interested in this conference. * please submit your abstract as soon as possible to facilitate review assignment preparation Motivation for enterprise engineering Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in manifold alliances. However, many strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. One of the identified reasons for such failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organisational sciences, and as implemented by traditional programs in business schools. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is insufficient for bringing about changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. In addition, both organisations and software applications are complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. We believe these responsibilities can be born in a much more effective way if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the enterprise given by a sound engineering approach put forward by a full-fledged scientific discipline. The mission of enterprise engineering The CIAO! Enterprise Engineering Network <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0HBQBRV1RXABhSA1NQGlVdDw5LVlIPX…> is a community of academics and practitioners who strive to contribute to the development of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering (EE), and to apply it in practice. The long term aim is to develop a holistic and general systems theory based understanding on how to (re)design and run enterprises effectively. The ambition is therefore to gather and develop a consistent and coherent set of theories, models and associated methods that: enable enterprises to reflect, in a systematic way, on how to realise improvements; and assist them, in practice, in achieving their aspirations. In doing so, sound empirical and scientific foundations should underlie all efforts and all organisational aspects that are relevant should be considered, while combining already existing knowledge from the scientific fields of information systems, software engineering, management science, organisational sciences, as well as philosophy, semiotics and sociology, amongst others. To this end, the network regularly organises events <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0DUwMFAVkCABgHCFMHGlUMAVNLDVILA…> such as the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference and associated Doctoral Consortium to drive the promotion and development of the enterprise engineering body of knowledge. A history of rigour, relevance and an open perspective The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC) series emerged out of the CIAO! workshop and doctoral consortium held from 2008 until 2010, after which they transitioned into the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC). The EEWC regularly featured an industrial track. To institutionalise the interaction between the practice of enterprise engineering, and enterprise transformation in general, it was decided that as of 2017 the TEE series <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0LVAMKVFNbXxhSAwAOGlUJWgVLVgBcD…> on Transformation and Engineering of Enterprises would be fully merged into the EEWC series. The TEE series of events (including PRET, LABEM, and AppEER) provided a practice-driven perspective on enterprise engineering, featuring papers taking real-world cases of enterprise transformations as a starting point. Merging TEE into the EEWC series aimed to enable a tight integration of rigour and relevance and constitutes the EEWC Forum <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0DB1ECVwNbWhgHAQMHGlUKDg9LVlwKA…>, integrated in the conference week. The origin of the scientific foundations of our present body of knowledge is the CIAO! Paradigm (Communication, Information, Action, Organisation) as expressed in our Enterprise Engineering Manifesto <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU1VAwJSVAdbARhXAlIDGlUOXFJLVVQOW…> and the paper: The Discipline of Enterprise Engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU1QAANXUQUCABhQAg4GGlVdWVBLDFRdC…>. In this paradigm, organisation is considered to emerge in human communication, through the intermediate roles of information and action. Based on the CIAO! Paradigm, several theories have been developed, and still are being proposed. They are published as technical reports <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU1SAlZVUQACXRhQAQVSGlVZWQVLDQAMX…>. Considering theories or sets of theories as lenses to see and understand reality we can say that two main lenses have emerged out of the CIAO! network efforts: the Enterprise Ontology theories and the Normalized Systems theory, both with relevant results in practice. Organisations and their enterprises, being socio-technical systems, are the result of a social dialogue among the social individuals that make up the organisation and the two currently identified lenses are, so we certainly expect, not enough. More lenses are needed and the current ones are open to extensions and/or improvements. The CIAO! community has always taken the view that (1) rigour and relevance, and (2) a shared understanding (based on a shared "meta ontology", such as the EE paradigm) is a crucial element in ensuring effective discussions within the community. In adding/extending lenses, new members are expected to underline these qualities as well. In adding/extending lenses, it is expected that the "meta ontology" will evolve/extend based on new, shared, insights. Dedicated Sessions Having in mind the spirit put forward in the previous section, the EEWC aims to expand its community and reach out to other communities to find synergies and cooperate in the development of the EE discipline. To this end, from 2017 onwards the EEWC includes special/dedicated sessions focused on lenses and/or domains as to inspire and facilitate this cooperation effort. Thus, in the EEWC 2019 we plan to give focus to the following domains: * Enterprise Ontology * Normalized Systems * Foundational Ontologies * Fact Based Modeling * Enterprise Interoperability * Standards and Policies in sectors/domains: o Smart Cities o Construction o Supply Chain Management * Other EE topics There is one single track in the conference and accepted submissions will be assigned to one of the sessions above. Relevant topics Topics of interest to for the EEWC include, but are not limited to: * Business Process Management * Business Process Improvement * Business Process Modelling and Simulation * Business Rules * Business Rules Management * Collaborative, Participatory, and Interactive Modelling * Domain Ontologies * Domain Reference Ontologies * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Design and Implementation * Enterprise Transformations * Enterprise Governance * Enterprise Modelling and Simulation * Enterprise Ontology * Foundational Ontologies * Fact Based Modeling * Information System Architectures * Information System Ontologies * Information Systems Design * Information Systems Development * Interactivity Modelling * Modelling (cross-enterprise) Business Processes * Ontology Implementation * Organisational Design * Organisational Structure * Reference Models * Regulatory Compliance * Standards and Policies for Industry Sectors Publications and Conference format The EEWC proceedings will, as always, be published in the Springer LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0HAFEBBwJWWBhQUQdQGlUPWlJLVQUIC…>) series. We are looking for papers on current or recently finished research initiatives/projects as well as papers from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous working conferences, the seventh EEWC is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following the paper presentations. Therefore, normally 40 minutes slots are planned for each accepted full paper, with a maximum limit of 15 pages. Since the EEWC 2017 we now accept publication (also in the Springer proceedings) and presentation of short papers with a page limit of 9 pages to be adapted from the original submission with page limit of 15 pages. As a result of the merging of the TEE Series <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0LVAMKVFNbXxhSAwAOGlUJWgVLVgBcD…> with the EEWC and also to foster community building and more sharing and discussion regarding preliminary research and reporting on practice in our domains, we introduced in 2017 the EEWC Forum <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0DB1ECVwNbWhgHAQMHGlUKDg9LVlwKA…> where case reports are accepted, as well as posters invited from the submissions to the EEWC not accepted as full or short papers but with interesting contents to discuss. Case reports and posters will be officially published on CEUR <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0FDlVVBFBSCRgCUlUPGlVeDlVLVQEBC…>. More information on the EEWC Forum 2019 available at its respective web page <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0DB1ECVwNbWhgHAQMHGlUKDg9LVlwKA…>.

Anbei finden Sie den gesamten Call. Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Maier ___________________________ *Dr. Christian Maier* University of Bamberg <http://www.uni-bamberg.de/> Information Systems and Services <http://www.uni-bamberg.de/isdl> Centre of Human Resources Information Systems <http://www.uni-bamberg.de/isdl/chris>__ *Call for Papers* *ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research 2019* *Enduring Issues in MIS and Work* Location: Nashville, Tennessee, USA Dates: June 20-22, 2019 Conference website: http://sigmis.org/sigcpr2019/ Submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmsigmiscpr2019 IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline for Posters and Doctoral Consortium: February 3, 2019 Submission deadline for Academic Papers: January 21, 2019 Notification of acceptance for all submissions: March 1, 2019 Camera-ready version: April 1, 2019 For over 50 years, ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research (CPR) conference has engaged the academic and practitioner communities in understanding issues pertaining to the intersection of information technology and people. From its roots in the IT workforce, CPR has broadened its focus to deal with all aspects of this important and complex relationship. We are delighted to welcome the 2019 ACM SIGMIS CPR conference to exciting Nashville, Tennessee from June 20-22, 2019. In the world of information systems, some issues are transitory, and some endure. The focus of the 2019 conference is on these enduring questions. A few of the enduring questions are: Individual · What leads to individuals resisting the use of IT (resistance, workarounds, BYOD)? · What are the impacts of emerging technologies (social media, analytics, blockchain) on workers? · How does the design of a system or technology impact worker acceptance and/or resistance? · How do individual humans interact with robotic co-workers? Organizational · How can organizations understand emerging technologies and their potential risks and opportunities? · What factors impact retention and turnover in the IT workforce? · What unique challenges exist for managing IT workers, and how do we meet those challenges? · What is the business value of IT? From what does this value derive? · What are the best ways to organize IT work? · Will emerging IT enable new organizational forms? What are those forms? Societal · How does IT impact the nature of work? How will IT impact the nature of work in the future? · How can we address the various digital divides? · How does the interaction of IT and people impact innovation, and how is innovation impacted by this interaction? · How does IT impact entrepreneurial activities? Workforce · Why are some demographic groups under-represented in the IT workforce? · What are the characteristics of the IT workforce? How are these characteristics changing? · How can universities best prepare students for careers in information systems and information technology? · What are the key skills for entry into the IT workforce? How are these skills changing? · What ethical issues result from embedding IT in work? · What security and privacy issues result from embedding IT in work? IS Education · How do we help students develop the skills needed for entry into, and success in the IT workforce? · How can we attract promising students to IS programs? · How should IS programs deal with emerging technologies? · How do IS programs differentiate themselves from computer science, analytics, data science and other overlapping programs? · How can universities best prepare students for careers in information systems and information technology? In addition to the conference theme, we also invite submissions to a general Information Systems track that broadly addresses issues at the intersection of information technology and people. Doctoral Consortium A doctoral consortium will take place as in previous years in conjunction with the CPR 2019 conference. It is meant for students spanning those at an early stage in their doctoral program to those who are more advanced and are at the stage of writing their dissertation proposal, and who are conducting research on a topic related to the conference theme or to the broad focus of the CPR conference on understanding issues pertaining to the intersection of information technology and people. The purpose of the consortium is two-fold: 1) provide feedback and guidance to students on their proposal while at a stage where feedback can be considered for future dissertation work, and 2) provide mentoring and networking opportunities to students who wish to pursue careers as researchers at the intersection of information systems and people. Doctoral students must be nominated to the consortium by a faculty sponsor. Students nominated for the consortium should submit via email to Dr. Indira Guzman (Indira.Guzman(a)trident.edu <mailto:Indira.Guzman@trident.edu>) a 10-page research proposal (including all text, figures, and references; double space) to be reviewed by a panel of highly qualified senior faculty mentors. The doctoral students selected to participate in the doctoral consortium will receive one round of written feedback on their proposal. At the conference, each student will have 15-20 minutes to present their research ideas and receive feedback in-person from experienced researchers and fellow consortium participants. The doctoral consortium will allow activities in plenary mode and intense workshop sessions in smaller groups. The submission deadline for doctoral consortium application is the same as the general submission deadline. Accepted students may choose to publish the full proposal that was submitted for evaluation or an extended abstract of their proposal in the conference proceedings. Funding will be available to assist with travel and registration fees to students selected for the doctoral consortium. Proceedings Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the refereed conference proceedings, which will be distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers may choose to publish complete papers or extended abstracts of their research in the conference proceedings. All completed research papers that are to be published in their entirety in the conference proceedings will be considered for the Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper of the Year Award. The Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper and other exemplar papers will be invited for publication in the DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems—the quarterly journal publication of ACM SIGMIS. Articles will not be published in the event proceedings if at least one author of a submitted work is unable to present their article at the conference. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Proceedings of all previous CPR conferences are available in the ACM Digital Library at http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm. Conference Location Nashville, Tennessee is known as the Home of Country Music, but it has much more to offer. Nashville is the state capital, and is home to numerous higher education institutions, including Vanderbilt University, Tennessee State University, Belmont University, and Lipscomb University. Healthcare, not music, is Nashville’s largest industry, employing 200,000 and contributing $30,000,000,000 to the regional economy. Nashville is also the third fastest growing economy in the United States. As one might expect, Nashville has a lively music scene in addition to the honky-tonk music venues along the famed “District,” the city boasts a major performing arts center and opera and ballet companies, along with the Nashville Symphony. Nashville is home to numerous country music icons, such as the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry House, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, but also boasts numerous art centers and museums, and a botanical garden. The Nashville International Airport provides direct flights to over fifty cities, including London (Heathrow), Dallas, Los Angeles, New York (JFK and LaGuardia), Chicago, and Washington D.C. (Reagan and Dulles).

Effective knowledge management is an increasingly important source of competitive advantage, and a key to the success of contemporary organizations, bolstering the collective expertise of its employees and partners. There are several perspectives on KM, but all share the same core components, namely: People, Processes and Technology. Some take a techno-centric focus, in order to enhance knowledge integration and creation; some take an organizational focus, in order to optimize organization design and workflows; some take an ecological focus, where the important aspects are related to people interaction, knowledge and environmental factors as a complex adaptive system similar to a natural ecosystem. An information system (IS) is an organized system for the collection, organization, storage and communication of information. *Conference Chair(s) <http://www.kmis.ic3k.org//EventChairs.aspx#conference_chair>* Joaquim Filipe, Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal / INSTICC, Portugal *Program Chair(s) <http://www.kmis.ic3k.org//ProgramCommittee.aspx#program_chair>* Jorge Bernardino, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra - ISEC, Portugal Ana Salgado, Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil With the presence of internationally distinguished keynote speakers: Robert Pergl <http://www.kmis.ic3k.org//KeynoteSpeakers.aspx#1>, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic Eduard Babkin <http://www.kmis.ic3k.org//KeynoteSpeakers.aspx#2>, National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Russian Federation Proceedings will be submitted for *indexation by:* DBLP, Thomson-Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, EI, SCOPUS, Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP - Special Issue on Emerging technologies, Enterprise Systems and Knowledge Management
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - Special Issue on Emerging technologies, Enterprise Systems and Knowledge Management Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2019 13:59:59 +1300 From: Nazim Taskin <nazimtaskin(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear colleagues, Please find the CfP for the special issue on Emerging technologies, Enterprise Systems and Knowledge Management. *Knowledge Management Research & Practice* *Special Issue: Emerging technologies, Enterprise Systems and Knowledge Management* Enterprises systems are systems that integrate all data and information systems and services as a type of Enterprise Knowledge Directory (EKD: Galup, Dattero, & Hicks, 2003). They are internal to the enterprise and can gather and interpret data and information from outside the enterprise’s boundary (e.g. internet, supply chains, etc.) to serve multi-organizations. Enterprise systems can integrate ICT -related communications; for example, record video conferences for storage, retrieval, analysis and use in decision-making. As an all embracing and integrated organizational-based data, information and intelligence- based system, Enterprise Systems should logically be related to organizational KM and certainly integral to organizational KMS. Surprisingly, however, the literature has barely made this connection. Knowledge management in the organisation relies in great part on the information systems in which the data are entered, processed, stored and extracted as the output and the basis for analysis. This type of information system in the context of an enterprise are often called enterprise systems (Przemyslaw, 2014) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems. They require high implementation costs and are normally customized to fit individual organizational requirements. As indicated by the literature, organizational knowledge sharing is greatly affected by the service quality, system quality and technology in the enterprise systems (Somayyeh and Ali, 2018). For example, at the operational level, business processes are the foundation for designing, implementing, and staff training in the adoption or upgrading of enterprise systems that influence the service quality and system quality. At the same time, managing knowledge life cycles and aligning the analysis to process management is essential to create business value (Christian, 2014). At the strategic level, Business Intelligence and data analytics are often built-into the enterprise systems to serve executive decision making. These systems can gather key information by sorting and extracting data from the distributed databases in large organisations including multinational and global enterprises. The process is actually a way of articulation as described by Richard, Herschel, and Nory (2005, p50), converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge by specifying the purpose of the decision, articulating parameters, objective functions, and relationships, providing what-if analysis, and evaluating the alternatives. They further suggest that there exists a reciprocal interaction effect between KM and BI as the need to correct and validate the computational logic of data requires the sense-making capabilities of knowledgeable people. As such there are implications that to most effectively manage knowledge in organisation requires coordination with the implementing and running of enterprise systems in such areas as design, training, user environment, culture, and top management involvement and IT support. Despite the critical role of enterprise systems in organizations, there has been little literature studying it in relationship to the management of organizational knowledge and the context of knowledge management systems. For example, it is difficult to locate research investigating how KM is organized and maintained within enterprise system environments, and what the influences of the contextual factors such as the industry type, firm sizes, and top management are. Enterprise systems are designed into many different forms in the markets. Using SAP as an example; it has been adopted by city councils, the army, food industry, airlines, and recently insurance corporations (SAP, 2014). There are also enterprise systems for not-for-profit organizations such as hospital resource planning (HRP) in hospitals and healthcare organizations, computer reservation system (CRS) in the tourism industry, and manufacturing execution system (MES) in production industries. In addition, the dynamic nature of business and technology can also impact the evolution of the enterprise systems (Wang, Pauleen and Chan, 2013). To reflect rapid changes in recent years, technologies need to be studied with ES and KM in order to understand how KMS may be impacted due to changes wrought by emerging technologies (e.g., IOT, Big Data, social media tools, and artificial intelligent) and ES. Industry practitioners and academic researchers have focused on the importance of investment and adoption of emerging technologies for quality and productivity improvements. There is a need to see how these factors with the ongoing development of knowledge management literature and the increasing functionality and scales of enterprise systems in the changing business world. *What can I contribute?* Submissions are invited to investigate these phenomena. Areas of particular interest include: how new technologies enhance knowledge management in enterprise systems settings; how changes in business affect the evolution of KMS. Prospective topics include, but are not limited to the list below and all social science research methods will be considered. - Knowledge Management Systems that exist in the various forms of Enterprise Systems, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management(SCM), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) , Customer Reservation Systems (as used in airline, hotel, and etc.) and Hospital Resource Planning (HRP). - Relationships between KM and Enterprise Systems and business models, strategies, and business processes - The level (and kinds) of knowledge stored in enterprise systems, including subordinate, company, enterprise, and multi-national levels - Emergent technologies and KM in Enterprise Systems, such as no-SQL database, Big Data, cloud computing, IOT, AI, and Industrial 4.0. - KM via Data Warehouse, Business Intelligence, and Data Analytics in Enterprise Systems - Change management for KM in the Enterprise Systems: e.g., merger and acquisitions, amalgamation of subordinates, new business development, or other reasons for major systems upgrades and integration - With respect to emerging technologies: - IT Organisation for KM in Enterprise Systems - IT Architecture for KM in Enterprise Systems - Vendor and customer aspects and perspectives - Role of Executives - KM in enterprise systems used in the sharing economy, healthcare industry, not-for-profit organization and government sectors - Case studies specific to ES and KM on SMEs, large organisations and global enterprises related to the topic of the special issue - Legal issues, risk management and information security, governance References - Christian Stary, (2014) "Non-disruptive knowledge and business processing in knowledge life cycles – aligning value network analysis to process management", Journal of Knowledge Management, Vol. 18 Issue: 4, pp.651-686. - David C.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Special Session on HPC in Modelling and Simulation at NUMTA 2019 - Crotone, Calabria, Italy Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2019 11:46:25 +0100 From: William Spataro <william.spataro(a)unical.it> To: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org (sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS: NUMTA Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (NUMTA2019-HPCMS) TH Le Castella Village Le Castella – Isola Capo Rizzuto Crotone, Italy DEADLINE for One-page Abstract submission: March 18, 2019 ************************************************************************** Model development for the simulation of the evolution of artificial and natural systems is essential for the advancement of Science. 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. An important mission of the HPCMS Special Session within the NUMTA 2019 3rd International Conference and Summer School 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. The session 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, hydrology, medicine, ecology, 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, earth science and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation Submission One-page abstract should be submitted before March 18, 2019 EasyChair system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=numta2019 (please follow the EasyChair hints to correctly prepare and submit your abstract). After acceptance, the authors can submit their full papers (end of May) as reported on the NUMTA main web page (http://si.dimes.unical.it/~yaro/numta2019/index.php) More information about the HPCMS Workshop and the general NUMTA 2019 conference can be found at: http://si.dimes.unical.it/~yaro/numta2019/index.php Organizers William Spataro – University of Calabria (Italy) Donato D’Ambrosio – University of Calabria (Italy) Rocco Rongo – University of Calabria (Italy) Andrea Giordano – ICAR-CNR (Italy) Scientific Committee Angelos Amanatiadis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Donato D’Ambrosio, University of Calabria, Italy Pawel Topa, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland Gianluigi Folino, ICAR-CNR, Italy Lou D’Alotto, York College/CUNY, New York, USA Antonios Gasteratos, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Ioakeim Georgoudas, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Marco Beccutti, University of Torino, Italy Rolf Hoffmann, Darmstadt University, Germany Ioannis Karafyllidis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Yaroslav Sergeyev, University of Calabria, Italy Antisthenis Tsompanas, University of the West of England, UK Rocco Rongo, University of Calabria, Italy Georgios Sirakoulis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece William Spataro, University of Calabria, Italy Giuseppe A.
