public security. Advanced technological systems have been designed in
countries to improve monitoring, security, and control against a
possible terrorist attack. The focus of the proposed special issue is to
analyze the political implications of technology adoption for homeland
security mechanisms. The aim is to consider all relevant aspects of
technology implications such as citizen's rights and privacy. The
special issue explores implications and issues with a view to suggesting
appropriate strategies to improve the system design by highlighting the
political implications of technology.
OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE
The objective of the proposed Special Issue is to highlight technology
design implications, user experiences and political implications of
technology usage for homeland security. Research contributions in this
special issue will provide guidelines for government agencies to better
understand the citizen's perspective. The contents in this special issue
are of interest for researchers working in the domains of information
systems, human computer interaction, organizational science, and
political science

Call for Chapters.
============================================================================
Book on: "Engineering and Management of IT-based Service Systems: an
Intelligent Decision-making Support Systems Approach"
Book series: "Intelligent Systems Reference Library"
Springer-Verlag, London Ltd
http://www.springer.com/series/8578
BOOK?S RATIONALE:
A service economy has been recognized as the dominant paradigm in present
times (Chesbrough and Spohrer 2006). Such a service-oriented worldview
demands new engineering and management scientific (both fundamental and
applied) knowledge to cope with the planning, design, building, operation
and evaluation (including the disposal of non adequate) IT-based service
systems (IfM and IBM 2008). Such challenges emerge from the paradigm
shift from a product-based manufacturing economy to this new
service-oriented one (Dermikan et al. 2011). In turn, Intelligent
Decision-Making Support Systems (i-DMSS) are specialized IT-based systems
that support some or several phases of the individual, team,
organizational or inter-organizational decision making process by
deploying some or several intelligent mechanisms (Forgionne et al. 2002;
Phillips-Wren et al. 2009). In particular, Artificial Intelligence (AI)
has been recognized as a significant enhancement tool for DMSS (Goul et
al. 1992; Eom, 1998) since several decades. However, the utilization of
i-DMSS for engineering and management of IT-based service systems is still
scarce. We believe that fostering its research and utilization is relevant
and needed for advancing the progress of IT-service systems. Consequently,
in this book will pursue to following academic aims: (i) generate a
compendium of quality theoretical and applied contributions in Intelligent
Decision-Making Support Systems (i-DMSS) for engineering and management
IT-based service systems (ITSS); (ii) diffuse scarce knowledge about
foundations, architectures and effective and efficient methods and
strategies for successfully planning, designing, building, operating, and
evaluating i-DMSS for ITSS, and (iii) create an awareness of, and a bridge
between ITSS and i-DMSS academicians and practitioners in the current
complex and dynamic engineering and management ITSS organizational (Mora
et al. 2011).
(References available upon request).
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
High quality fundamental or applied research-oriented chapters are welcome
on the following key topics:
Section I. Foundations on IT-based Service Systems

Topics: cases of innovative real or potential (proof of concept) i-DMSS
applications for supporting the planning, designing, building, operating
or evaluating of IT-based service systems in the main service domains such
as: financial, legal, healthcare, logistics, educational, and military.
AI-based technologies as such: logic rule-based systems, ontology-based
systems, machine learning techniques, multi-agent systems techniques,
neural networks systems, fuzzy logic systems, cased-based reasoning
systems, genetic algorithms techniques, data mining algorithms,
intelligent agents, user intelligent interfaces among others are welcome.
Section III. Trends and Challenges on Engineering and Management of
IT-based Service Systems supported by i-DMSS

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
4th International Workshop on Ontology Driven IS Engineering (ODISE)
URL: http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~cssrssc/events/odise2012/
co-located with Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS) 2012
Graz, Austria - 24-27 July 2012
*** Theme ***
Ontologies are becoming increasingly popular in the development of information systems. Their use however is mainly limited to either the initial or end phases of the lifecycle, namely business modelling and implementation, and their adoption is normally not characterised by an integrated and coherent end to end approach which systematically discovers the real-world semantics of business requirements, represents such semantics in formal ontologies and subsequently grounds the software design and implementation ontologically. What is also lacking is a sound approach to ontological reuse such that existing ontological patterns be used to drive the discovery of system requirements with the potential to more easily identifying previously developed software components which can be semantically mapped to those ontological patterns.
Ontology-Driven Information Systems Engineering (ODISE, pronounced odyssey) concerns the practical and formal application of ontologies to all phases of the software development lifecycle. Contributions in the form of research, research-in-progress papers and practitioner reports are welcome. Of particular interest to the workshop are contributions that emphasise formal ontologies and real world semantics in improving IS engineering and contributing toward developing software that is more adaptive and responsive to changing business requirements.
This workshop is aimed at discussing the above themes and to bring together academics, researchers and practitioners (with a background in IS engineering and/or ontology development) in order to develop an agenda of future collaborations that combine research and industrial expertise.
Topics for contributions include, but are not limited to:
- Ontology as a means to inform the process of gathering requirements.
- Ontology as a means to inform architecture development directly from requirements specifications.
- Ontology as a means to inform the software design directly from the architecture specification.
- Ontology as a means to model the software development process and the software product itself.
- Ontologies as run-time artefacts or to inform the design of run-time artefacts.
- The role of ontology reasoning in the software engineering process.
- The role of ontologies in model-driven development.
- Philosophical ontologies (3D vs. 4D) and their role in IS development
- Comparison of different ODISE mechanisms (e.g. domain-specific modelling, profiling, etc.).
- Comparison of the role of foundational ontologies vs. domain ontologies in ODISE.
- Ontology driven development of service software.
- Methodological issues for ODISE.
- Problems of semantic mismatch between traditional IS modelling paradigms, approaches, techniques, etc. and ontological modelling.
- Ontology-based development/modelling/programming languages.
*** Important Dates and Submission ***
Authors are invited to submit papers via EasyChair. Please check the workshop Web site for further instructions. Deadlines are as follows:
14 May 2012 (EXTENDED): Submission deadline for ODISE paper

4th International Workshop on Personal Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH
2012)
http://patch2012.wordpress.com/
Co-located with the 20th conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and
Personalization (UMAP 2012)
Montreal, Canada, July 16-20, 2012
Background:
Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a privileged area for
personalization research. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing
to experience and learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to
expect. CH sites are typically rich with objects and information, much more
than the visitor can absorb during a limited time of a visit. The challenge
is: can we provide an engaging experience for the ?digital?, ?mobile? and
?traditional? museum visitors before, during and after a visit by exploiting
information from previous interactions on CH sites and elsewhere on the
ubiquitous Web. Further, an interesting problem to explore is can this kind
of support be a basis for maintaining a lifelong chain of personalized CH
experiences.
Personalization could improve the interaction and experience of visitors
both on museum websites and with museum guide systems by supporting
visitors' navigation and assisting them in quickly finding an appropriate
starting point, and in discovering new relevant information. In this
process, the museum systems consider visitors' personal characteristics,
such as age, education, previous knowledge and experience (when available),
together with the visitors? behavior, in order to improve access to the
collection and learning experiences, e.g. automatically adapting content
presentation using user preferences and interest profiles collecting
explicit user data from questionnaires or implicit data from monitoring
visitors? activities.
While currently various museum initiatives already invite people to engage
with their collections online (e.g., Tate Modern, Powerhouse Museum), or
reach out via Social Web platforms, e.g., Flickr the
Commons, Brooklyn Museum on Facebook, augmented reality browser of
Netherlands Architecture Institute with Layar, personalization strategies
for CH reside mainly in research projects and experiments, e.g., PEACH,
INTRIGUE, Kubadji, PIL, CHIP, and PrestoPrime, and focus mainly on ad-hoc,
within-session or -visit personalization.
The workshop will aim at building a research agenda for personalization in
CH where the abstract goal is to make the individual CH experience a link in
a chain of a lifelong CH experience, where it is built on past experience,
linked to daily life experience and provides the foundation for future
experiences.

Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: HICSS 2013 - CFP Paradoxes and tensions
in innovation and implementation of complex systems

Track: Organizational Systems and Technology Track
Mini-track: Paradoxes and tensions in innovation and implementation of complex systems
Within the 46th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organise a minitrack on Paradoxes and tensions in innovation and implementation of complex systems. The 46th HICSS, one of the most prominent Conferences on Information Systems and Sciences worldwide, will be held on January 7-10, 2013, in Maui,Hawaii (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu).
Paradoxes and tensions are ubiquitous to innovation and change in sociotechnical systems in a wide ranging contexts including but not limited to open innovation, e-health, mobile platforms, integrated supply chains. Conflicting demands, contradictory practices, and competing views create fiction that can energize or inhibit the performance of a complex socio-technical system. There is a growing literature on paradoxes, tensions, and duality and recently paradox theory has been proposed as an alternative meta-theoretical approach to problems that have previously been addressed by contingency theory or structural theories. The paradox theory reconceptualizes opposing poles of paradoxes, not as a tradeoff but as a duality where the opposing poles of the paradox are leveraged simultaneously and considered to be mutually dependent and mutually enabling. The track focuses on papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding of how tensions and paradoxes can be leveraged, enhanced, and honed to create new and frame-breaking opportunities, enhance their implementation, and acceptance, and ensure successful co-evolution of complex systems in dynamic environments.
We will solicit excellent papers that will develop and expand this area. The papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory including innovation and implementation of complex systems, tensions, paradoxes, complexity theory, institutional theory, innovation theories, control theory, ambidexterity theory, trust asymmetry theory, etc.
Possible topics:
How does paradox perspective change or alter our view of technology related dynamics in socio-technical systems?
How does duality contribute to better management of socio-technical innovation?
How do institutional logics shape development and implementation of complex systems?
How can technologies be designed to better leverage opposing poles of paradoxes?
What is the role of technology in nesting and interweaving tensions/paradoxes?
