-------- 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?

-------- 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]). The title page must contain a short abstract and a list of keywords, preferably using the list of topics given above. Papers must be submitted electronically via the EasyChair portal [3].
