Fwd: [AISWorld] ModComp 2020 Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 15 May '20

15 May '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ModComp 2020 Call for Papers Date: Fri, 15 May 2020 13:38:42 +0200 From: Andreas Wortmann <wortmann(a)se-rwth.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS ModComp'20 (at MoDELS): 6th International Workshop on Interplay of Model-Driven and Component-Based Software Engineering http://www.es.mdh.se/ModComp/ ----------------- IMPORTANT DATES ----------------- Deadline for abstract submission: 15 July, 2020 Deadline for papers submission: 22 July, 2020 Notification of acceptance: 21 August, 2020 Camera ready: 28 August, 2020 Online pre-proceedings: 10 September, 2019 Workshop date (TBD): 18-20 October, 2020 ----------------- SCOPE ----------------- Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) have been shown to effectively reduce software development complexity by (i) shifting the focus from source code to models and (ii) building software systems as the composition of new and existing components, respectively. Moreover, the interplay of MDE and CBSE approaches is gaining recognition as a very promising means to boost the development of software systems by reducing costs and risks and shorten time-to-market. While several attempts to effectively combine MDE and CBSE have been documented, there are still unsolved clashes arising when exploiting interplay of MDE and CBSE, mostly due to mismatches in the related terminology as well as to differences in their basic essence. As a satellite event of MoDELS'19, the goal of ModComp’19 is to gather researchers and practitioners to share opinions, propose solutions to open challenges and generally explore the frontiers of interweaving between MDE and CBSE. ----------------- TOPICS ----------------- Solicited topics include, but are not limited to: - Partial model reuse: once individual components are modelled (interfaces and behavior), these models should be reusable in the different usage contexts of these components; - Model composition: building a system model by the composition of pre-existing models of individual components; - Component versioning: in order to handle evolution when for instance one component is upgraded to a newer version; - Modelling component interaction and component behaviours: clear separation of internal behaviour and externally visible interaction capabilities, e.g. by interface protocols; - Model extraction for componentization of legacy systems: when legacy systems are componentized, generation of architectural and behavioural models from, e.g., implementation artefacts are needed in order to get full support from model-based activities such as analysis, e.g. if those components are reused in a new context. Along with implementation artefacts, other kinds of information regarding any observation of the system at runtime, such as, e.g., log files, system execution traces, traces, might need to be considered for reverse componentization; - Component interoperability: in order to enable the automated construction of semantic matching and mapping between different modelling notations (e.g., component models) with emphasis on precise syntactic, protocol and operational descriptions of components - Management and elicitation of model interdependencies: in order to infer and support automated reasoning on the possible interdependencies between the different software models exploited throughout the software life cycle; - Component models evolution: tackling challenges in component models evolution and model co-evolution which are amplified by the high degree of interchangeability typical of CBSE; - Model transformations in presence of third-party components: exploring how model-driven techniques may deal with third-party components, especially concerning the preservation of system properties (both functional and extra-functional) along with the involved model manipulations for, e.g., analysis, code generation, etc; - Metamodel modularity: reasoning on issues related to composability of (i) metamodels and (ii) views in terms of metamodel portions; - Composition of MDE artefacts: analysis results, model transformations, and/or model viewpoints could take advantage of CBSE advancements in order to ease their reuse, and composition; - Enforcement of incrementality: models and model manipulations to support incremental verification and validation of component-based systems; - Case studies & applications: best practices applied to real-world applications, lessons learned, success/failure stories in intertwining MDE and CBSE. ----------------- SUBMISSION ----------------- ModComp'20 welcomes research papers, experience papers and tool presentations; nevertheless, papers describing novel research contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest. Two types of submission are solicited: full and short papers. - Full papers: with a maximum of 8 pages in the ACM format, including figures, appendices AND references), full papers clearly describe the situation or the problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential benefits of the contribution. Systematic and empirical reports are welcome too. - Short papers: with a maximum of 4 pages in the ACM format, including figures, appendices AND references, short papers include tool demonstrations, position papers, industrial experiences and case-studies, well-pondered and sufficiently documented visionary papers. Tools in demonstrations should be made available for use to the reviewers. Contributions should represent original and previously unpublished ideas that are currently not under review in any conference or journal. Each submitted paper undergoes a formal peer review process by a minimum of 3 Program Committee members. Submitted papers should include authors' names, affiliations and contact information. Special issue at SoSyM: We plan to organize a theme issue at SoSyM to which the best papers from the workshop will be invited for being submitted in extended form. The extended papers would undergo a new peer-reviewing process. ----------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- - Marco Autili, Università dell'Aquila - Jan Carlson, Mälardalen University - Peter Clarke, Florida International University - Loek Cleophas, TU Eindhoven and Stellenbosch University - Romina Eramo, University of L'Aquila - Anne Koziolek, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology - Ansgar Radermacher, CEA LIST - Christian Schlegel, Ulm University of Applied Sciences - Cristina Seceleanu, Mälardalen University - Lionel Seinturier, University of Lille - Severine Sentilles, Mälardalen University - Massimo Tivoli, University of L'Aquila - Sebastian Voss, fortiss GmbH ----------------- ORGANIZATION ----------------- Workshop organizers and chairs Federico Ciccozzi (main contact), Mälardalen University (Sweden) Antonio Cicchetti, Mälardalen University (Sweden) Andreas Wortmann, RWTH Aachen University (Germany) ----------------- CONTACT ----------------- Website: http://www.es.mdh.se/ModComp/ Main contact: Federico Ciccozzi, federico.ciccozzi[at]mdh.se -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Andreas Wortmann | Software Engineering Ahornstr. 55, 52074 Aachen, Germany | RWTH Aachen University Phone +49 (241) 80-21346 / Fax -22218 | http://www.se-rwth.de Automated semantics-preserving parallel decomposition of finite component and connector architectures.

Since such agents often rely on complex internal processing, their behavior is less predictable than that of the types of IT artifacts we are used to dealing with. This opens up a number of problem areas with regards to managing and organizing these methods. For example: - How does coordination shift as AI tools are used, and what new types of organizational hierarchies and structures emerge? - How do power relations change, and how do different organizational actors use these new technologies to reshape power relations? - What is the impact of using AI on those processes that have traditionally been seen as being entirely driven and controlled by humans? - How can the organization evaluate the ethical implications of deployed AI methods? - What are relevant KPIs and metrics for assessing the effectiveness of AI applications? - How should an organization manage, staff and coordinate AI development teams? This minitrack aims to contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms through which humans organize together with software-based agents as well as the process organizations use to develop these AI methods. We aim to provide a platform for thought and discussion in this important and emergent niche within information systems and IT research. We invite both conceptual and empirical contributions using different methodological approaches (qualitative, quantitative, design-oriented, simulation, etc.). In addition to the questions raised above, potential topics include, but are not limited to: - AI & coordination: How does AI change the way humans coordinate? - AI & power: How does AI affect corporations, markets, and peer production structures? - AI & governance: Who runs the technology? What does the technology run? - AI & development: How to manage project and deployment risk? - AI & creativity: How can AI be creative? How can humans and AI be co-creators? - AI & design: What does AI design? Should it design itself? - AI & innovation: How does AI foster innovation? - AI & crowds: What do crowds do for machine learning, and what’s in it for the crowds? - AI & organizational routines: How does AI change the nature of work?

Fwd: [AISWorld] [CFP] 8th International Workshop on DEClarative, DECision and Hybrid approaches to processes (DEC2H 2020)
by Gustaf Neumann 14 May '20

14 May '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [CFP] 8th International Workshop on DEClarative, DECision and Hybrid approaches to processes (DEC2H 2020) Date: Thu, 14 May 2020 12:41:56 +0000 From: Tijs Slaats <slaats(a)di.ku.dk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ******************************************************************************** Call for Papers DEC2H 2020 8th International Workshop on DEClarative, DECision and Hybrid approaches to processes 14 September 2020 Co-located with the 18th Int. Conference on Business Process Management (BPM) http://dec2h-2020.di.uniroma1.it/ ******************************************************************************** Due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been decided that BPM 2020 will be a fully virtual conference. The same will apply to the DEC2H workshop. Further details will follow as we get nearer to the conference date. ******************************************************************************** In this workshop, we are interested in the application and challenges of decision-based, rule-based and hybrid modelling in all phases of the BPM lifecycle (identification, discovery, analysis, redesign, implementation and monitoring). Important Dates -------------------------- - Abstract submission (optional) deadline: May 22, 2020 - Papers submission deadline: May 29, 2020 - Notification: June 29, 2020 - Camera-ready deadline: July 13, 2020 - Workshop: September 14, 2020 Scope -------------------------- Processes and business process models involve rules and decisions describing the premises and possible outcomes of specific situations. However, important though they are, rules and decisions are often hidden in process flows, process activities or in the head of employees (tacit knowledge), so that they need to be discovered using state-of-art intelligent techniques. For knowledge-intensive processes it is common that rules and decisions, as opposed to the process-flow, define the allowed behaviour of a process. E.g., the major purpose of an insurance claim process is to ensure that the rules governing the claim are being followed and to arrive at a final decision. While traditional imperative notations such as BPMN excel at describing “happy paths”, they turn out to be rather inadequate for modelling rules and decisions. Imperative notations indeed tend to describe possible behaviour as alternative, restricted flows. But encompassing all possible variations makes imperative models cluttered and thus impractical in highly flexible scenarios. Against this background, a new declarative modelling paradigm has been proposed that aims to directly capture the business rules or constraints underlying the process. The approach has gained momentum in recent years, and several declarative notations have been developed such as Declare, DCR Graphs, DMN, GSM and eCRG. Lately, there has been a rapidly growing interest in hybrid approaches, which combine the strengths of different modelling paradigms. In this workshop, we are interested in the application and challenges of decision- and rule-based modelling in all phases of the BPM lifecycle (identification, discovery, analysis, redesign, implementation and monitoring). The purpose of the workshop is, therefore: - To examine the relationship between rules, decisions and processes, including models; not only to model the process but also to model the rules and decisions. - To enhance rule and decision mining based on process data (e.g. event logs) - To examine decision goals, structures, and their connection with business processes, in order to find a good integration between rule- and decision-based modelling and flow-based modelling. - To examine standards (DMN, CMMN, BPMN) and their integration. - To study how different process models can be designed to fit a decision process, according to various optimization criteria, such as throughput time, use of resources, etc. - To study the integration between different modelling paradigms. - To show best practices in separating process, rule and decision concerns. Topics of interest -------------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Declarative and hybrid (process modelling) approaches - Declarative notations (Declare, DCR Graphs, GSM, eCRG, ...) - Decision & goal notations (DMN, PDM, ...) - Case management notations (CMMN, ...) - Hybrid notations - Declarative and hybrid modelling methodologies - Process metrics - Process maintenance and flexibility - Human-centred and flexible processes - Decision rules and processes - Decision models and structures - Formal analysis (e.g. expressiveness proofs) of declarative and hybrid notations - Formal verification (e.g. model-checking and static analysis) of declarative and hybrid models - Run-time adaptation of declarative and hybrid process models Decision mining and declarative/hybrid process mining - Decision mining - Declarative process mining - Hybrid process mining - Data mining for decision and declarative/hybrid process analysis - Rule mining for decision and declarative/hybrid process analysis Applications of decision- and rule-modelling in BPM - Goal-driven processes - Knowledge-intensive processes - Business process compliance - Knowledge workflow management - Usability and understandability studies - Case studies - Tools Format of the Workshop -------------------------- The workshop will begin with a keynote, followed by presentations of accepted papers. Full papers have 20 minutes for their presentations and 10 minutes for discussion and Q&A. Short papers have 15 + 5 minutes. At the end of the workshop, there will be a closing panel discussion. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least three program committee members guaranteeing that only papers presenting high-quality work and innovative research in areas relevant to the workshop theme will be accepted. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. There will be a single LNBIP volume dedicated to the proceedings of all BPM workshops. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. They will be distributed electronically on USB sticks. The post-proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series, in a single volume dedicated to the proceedings of all BPM workshops. During a time window after the conference, the workshop participants will be granted the free download of the papers. Submission -------------------------- We are interested in research, work-in-progress, position, case-study and tool papers, either in long (not exceeding 12 pages) or short (not exceeding 6 pages) format. Only papers in English will be considered. Submitted papers must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Authors are requested to prepare submissions according to the LNBIP format specified by Springer (see the instructions [1] and the LaTeX-template[2]).

Its chequered history of successes and failures has, however, been an ongoing concern of the IS research community (Dwivedi et al., 2015; Hassan & Mathiassen, 2017). Despite efforts to improve the management of ISD projects, these efforts have not had the desired effect (Lim et al., 2011). There is anecdotal evidence that business analytics can help project managers to (i) understand the dynamics and collective state of complex projects, (ii) detect and forecast trends, (iii) improve the effectiveness of risk models, (iv) evaluate the effectiveness of a change to the development process, and (v) distinguish questions of ‘information’ from questions of ‘insight’ (Davenport et al., 2010). Business analytics are frequently referred to as ‘the techniques, technologies, systems, practices, methodologies, and applications that analyse critical business data to help an enterprise better understand its business and market and make timely decisions’ (Chen et al., 2012, p.1166). Yet, much of the research conducted to date has focused on the technologies of business analytics and not enough on the people and their organisational context in which such technologies are intended to be used (Abbasi et al, 2017; Conboy et al., 2018; Mikalef et al., 2019). This is a significant limitation given that the ISD environment is a highly metric oriented, complex, and socially embedded activity that is continuously changing (Conboy, 2009; Kudaravalli et al., 2017; Windeler et al., 2017). This special issue seeks to collect contemporary research on the latest developments and challenges of how organisations exploit business analytics to support project/portfolio managers, project teams, and other project stakeholders. Indicative List of Anticipated Themes This special issue seeks a wide range of articles that draw on diverse project settings, theories, and approaches to understand the different aspects of business analytics as applied to the context of ISD. The following questions are of interest for the special issue: • How can business analytics be used to better understand and manage ISD projects? • What value does business analytics provide to ISD management and development teams? • What tensions arise from the integration of business analytics with traditional and agile methods and practices? • What are the emerging best practices that enable business analytics to be embedded within the ISD process and the wider organisation? • Does the deployment of business analytics make existing agile methods and practices less valuable or even obsolete? • What new metrics and standards can business analytics provide to manage and control ISD projects more effectively? • How can business analytics enable organisational learning and innovation in the context of ISD? • How are business analytics being applied in various types (distributed, large scale) of ISD projects? • How can business analytics support the scaling of ISD projects? • What are the change management and organisational cultural issues that need to be considered when developing analytical capabilities? • How can business analytics provide new ways of working in ISD projects? • What ethical issues stem from the use of business analytics in ISD projects? • How can business analytics be used to support more effective decision making? • What are the new theories and theoretical developments to explain the implementation and use of business analytics in ISD projects? These questions are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather they are intended to stimulate thinking about the role of business analytics in the management of ISD projects across various levels of analysis - from participants in individual projects through projects, programs, portfolios, organisations, and the wider society. We welcome submissions that address questions pertaining to all aspects of the intersection of business analytics and ISD project management.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP EM: "Smart Cities - Smart Governance Models for Future Cities" and deadline extension for the call "Digital Healthcare Services" Date: Wed, 13 May 2020 11:32:44 +0200 From: Electronic Markets <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> Reply-To: Electronic Markets <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> To: 'Electronic Markets' <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> --- Apologies for cross-postings--- Dear colleagues, Electronic Markets is seeking submissions for a special issue on “Smart Cities- Smart Governance Models for Future Cities”. Please find further details below and also notice the deadline extension for the special issue call “Digital Healthcare Services” (https://bit.ly/3cCyimv) until July 31, 2020. *Call for Papers: Smart Cities - Smart Governance Models for Future Cities* Submission Deadline: December 01, 2020 ** *Guest Editors* * Edy Portmann, University of Fribourg, Switzerland, edy.portmann(a)unifr.ch <mailto:edy.portmann@unifr.ch> * Sara D’Onofrio, Business Engineering Institute St. Gallen, Switzerland, sara.donofrio(a)bei-sg.ch <mailto:sara.donofrio@bei-sg.ch> * Simon Trang, University of Göttingen, Germany, strang(a)uni-goettingen.de <mailto:strang@uni-goettingen.de> * Elpiniki I. Papageorgiou, University of Thessaly, Greece, epapageorgiou(a)teiste.gr <mailto:epapageorgiou@teiste.gr> * Witold Pedrycz, University of Alberta, Canada, wpedrycz(a)ualberta.ca *Theme* As of 2010 half of the world population lived in urban areas and 150 metropolitan urban regions across the world generated almost 50% of the global GDP. In other words, from then on, cities became more and more the places, where a process of deep societal and economic reform should start from, where global issues may be addressed locally, where smart technology may be discussed. Definitively, cities have a sufficient critical mass in both demographic and economic terms to ignite a planetary revolution. The concept of a smart city is understood as the specific use of advanced information and communication technologies for a sustainable, social, ecological and economic development of urban space. The focus of a smart city is on the access, processing and use of information to improve existing urban processes. The acquisition, collection and analysis of urban (real-time) data and the coordination of data use with Internet- and web-based services has opened up new possibilities for increasing economic, social, natural and infrastructural resource efficiency and improving the quality of life. However, the technology-focused perspective excludes two essential aspects that are of high importance for a "future city": Preservation of knowledge and involvement of the citizens in the design process. Solutions (e.g., digital platforms, civic (tech) events) designed by and with citizens promote transparent and participatory collaboration that enables the development of a smart living environment. In this respect, it is important that civil society is willing to cooperate and that public administrations take these efforts seriously. With regards to aspects of the socio-technical approach, it is important that technical and human factors have equal weight in the design process of new smart city models. This citizen-centered approach makes it possible to develop new socio-economic and participatory models that promote, for example, solidarity, social inclusion and communities. This becomes particularly relevant in the field of governance (D’Onofrio et al. 2019). With this in mind, in this special issue, we intend to help cities better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the governance of their infrastructures. On that account, with a focus on cities efficiency, sustainability, and resilience (see Portmann & Finger 2016; Portmann et al. 2019), we invite researchers to submit their paper addressing an innovative handling of societal challenges, presenting novel economic models to govern them as well as technological prototypes and frameworks to have an impact. ** *Central issues and topics* This special issue of Electronic Markets will focus on new, innovative approaches to smart governance models for future cities that may improve existing processes and models of governance and will change/improve the interaction and communication between citizens and representatives of the public sector. They should discuss how their approaches and solutions enable enhanced ways of information exchange and communication between citizens and representatives of the public sector, how new models can improve existing government models and thus how urban knowledge can be preserved and be used for future cities. This special issue is not only intended for academics and researchers but will also be valuable for executives, managers, innovators and project leaders who would like to implement smart methods to govern urban systems. To this end, it intends to present a set of state-of- the art method boxes, case studies and web-based tools that together make it possible to design, implement, and test smart cities strategies-to-be. The (non-exclusive) list of topics includes: * Smart governance of urban systems and networked business models * Complexity theory for smart governance of urban systems * Collective city intelligence for implementation of smart cities * Learning and cognition theory for implementation of smart cities * Application of human-centered artificial intelligence for smart cities * Integration of smart citizens into the development of smart governance models * Smart participation and smart voting * Digital platforms and ecosystems for smart cities * Data mining for smart city applications * Application of smart open gov data * Sustainable, social, ecological and economic issues in smart governance models for future cities * Trust, privacy, and security issues in smart governance models for future cities *Keywords* collective intelligence, digital platforms, ecosystems, governance, open gov data, privacy, security, smart citizen, smart city, smart participation, trust ** *Submission* Electronic Markets is a Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)-listed journal (IF 3.553 in 2018) and encourages original contributions with a broad range of methodological approaches, including conceptual, qualitative and quantitative research. Besides research papers it features position papers, fundamentals and case studies for this special issue. All papers should fit the journal scope (for more information, see http://www.electronicmarkets.org/about-em/scope/) and will undergo a double-blind peer-review process.
