Service oriented computing is an emerging cross-disciplinary
paradigm for distributed computing that is changing the way
software applications are designed, architected, delivered and
consumed. ICSOC’08 builds on the success of previous conferences
in this series, establishing bridges between established and new
service research and applications communities and fostering
cross-community scientific excellence. Our goal is to bring
together ideas and technologies from many different fields in
an evolutionary manner, to address research challenges such as
service composition, discovery, integration, monitoring and
management of services, service quality and security, methodologies
for supporting service development, governance in their evolution,
as well as their overall life-cycle management. This year, we
are focusing on building bridges with the business community

2nd International Workshop on
Model-Based Software and Data Integration MBSDI 2009,

University of Western Sydney, Australia, April 21-24, 2009
co-located with ECOMO 2009 and ISTA 2009 @ UNISCON 2009
http://www.uniscon2009.org/

NEW Deadlines:

Abstract Submission: October 24, 2008
Paper submission: October 31, 2008
Acceptance notification: December 15, 2008
Camera ready submission: January 16, 2009

********************************************************************
Scope of the Workshop

Integration of data from heterogeneous distributed sources, and,
at the same time, integration of software components and systems,
in order to achieve full interoperability is one of the major
challenges and research areas in software industry today, as well
as the significant IT cost driving factor.

There is an increasing need and market pressure to systematically
address the integration problem, particularly in accidental
information infrastructures and IT architectures, that have grown
over time in an uncontrolled manner in different enterprise
environments.

The reason for the ever growing relevance of software integration
is the dynamic nature of todays business operations, where fast
enterprise decision making is essential. However, the relevant data
and functions, based on which decisions should be made, are
distributed over many heterogeneous and autonomous systems.
Retrieving this data and processing it, in order to generate the
added value services, requires an expensive and tedious software
development process. In general, there is no methodology that
enables systematic approach to this problem in order to combine
business data on demand in an ad-hoc manner. Finally, complexity
rises even more with modification and evolution of the (legacy)
systems.

The problem of software and data integration has been approached
from different perspectives and within different communities.
During the last couple of years, several approaches for system
integration have profiled and established themselves, such as
component-based software engineering (CBSE), service oriented
architecture (SOA) or ontology-based semantic integration. They
all address parts of the problem domain. However, a unified
methodology for software integration is still missing. Model-based
software engineering (MBSE) may be the paradigm that can combine
the results achieved so far in different fields. MBSE offers not
only the methodology but also standardized (meta)tools and platforms
for enterprise-wide and cross-enterprise integration of software
solutions with the ultimate goal of (semi)automatic generation of
business intelligence components.

Our workshop, after the success of MBSDI 2008, will be the second
of its kind in the context of the German regional initiative
BIZYCLE of collaborative development of methodologies and tools
for Model-Based Software and Data Integration. BIZYCLE is a joint
effort of software SMEs and science, directly addressing this
context, and trying to introduce a strict model-based design,
verification, development and evolution methodology. This
methodology applies to system integration concepts such as CBSE,
SOA or ontology-based integration.

For better synergy, MBSDI 2009 will be co-located with two
other relevant event, which complement our focus in this field:
ISTA 2009 and ECOMO 2009. All three events will we held under
the roof of UNISCON 2009.

Contributions with a strong theoretical and technical background,
as well as contributions focusing on domain knowledge and practical
/industrial experience, are both welcome. Particularly, software
and data integration solutions in the context of health care,
facility management, logistics and publishing are welcome, as they
coincide with the focus domains of our research initiative. However,
this does not exclude quality contributions describing solutions
from other application domains, like e.g. automotive or avionics.

## FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON

# PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (PKM2009)

http://personalknowledge.org

March 25, 2009 - March 27, 2009
Solothurn, Switzerland

Part of the Conference on Professional Knowledge Management (WM 2009)
http://www.km-conference2009.org

=== Dates ===
* October 31, 2008: Submission of workshop papers
* December 15, 2008: Notification of authors about acceptance/rejection
* January 10, 2009: Submission of camera-ready papers

=== Introduction ===
Knowledge Management (KM) deals with creating and exchanging knowledge
within groups of persons in organisational contexts. The potentials and
needs of the individual is often not in the focus of KM efforts, although
no-one would deny that the individual as knowledge bearer, -user and
-creator is naturally the most essential part of knowledge management. The
main goal of PKM is make the individual more productive - and thereby the
organisation as a whole.

The term Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) has two main dimensions:
* Personal Knowledge - Ultimately, all knowledge is personal knowledge.
Following the tradition of Nonaka & Takeuchi’s spiral model (and later Ba
model) knowledge resides partially in the minds of people and can
partially be codified as external artefacts. PKM investigates the use of
methods and tools to amplify the abilities of the individual to work
better with knowledge. E.g. recall previously learned knowledge faster (or
at all) when it is required model personal knowledge and beliefs with
external modelling tools to derive new insights (MS Excel is often used
for this today) strategies for filing ideas to retrieve them when needed
* Personal Management - Management is a systematic approach to define goals,
measure, define and execute actions and repeat this control loop until the
goal is reached. Different from traditional management, in personal
management one has to manage oneself. This involves the problem of
fulfilling two roles (executing and managing) and learning when and how to
switch between them. Typical management problems in PKM are e.g. time and
task management matching work habits with personal productivity level
variations investing time into personal learning and PKM improvements
work-life balance

=== Audience ===
We invite practitioners and academic researchers alike to collaborate on
the interdisciplinary topic of PKM. Academic researchers might come from
KM-related disciplines such as economics, computer science, education
science, business informatics, or information sciences but to explore the
individual aspects also contributions from fields such as cognitive
psychology, brain science and HCI are invited. Practitioners might work as
consultants, tool vendors, or user in knowledge-intensive industries. We
invite especially pragmatic early adopters and interested students. No
submission to the workshop is required in order to participate. We will
run a lighting talk round to collect the positions of all participants.

=== Research questions ===
How can an individual effectively and efficiently use external tools to
amplify his abilities to handle knowledge in large quantities and /or with
high complexity? How can the individual support, structure and improve his
personal knowledge management and individual knowledge
creation,-modelling, -usage and -development? How can the conflict between
personal goals (e.g. motivation) and the goals of an organisation (e.g.
efficient knowledge sharing, productivity) be tackled or even resolved?

Foundational questions such as
* theoretical foundations of PKM (e.g. from cognitive psychology, cognitive
ergonomics, etc.),
* extension of established KM-methods with PKM-specific aspects,
* results from work sciences about characteristics of and potential for
support of individual knowledge work,
* legal questions (e.g. which knowledge must be shared or may not be shared,
privacy issues arising from user observation by tools)
* relations of PKM to related topics (e. g. ePortfolio and competence/skill
management and development),
* methods for self-management and PKM key competencies (e.g. time
management, task management, stress management, social networking).

Methods and tools such as
* those for personal knowledge articulation (e.g. knowledge mapping,
editable visualisations, step-wise formalisation),
* personal wikis, semantics desktop, personal storage and search solutions,
* extending PIM tools and methods for PKM, creativity tools and personal
idea management,
* innovative use of new technologies (e.g. mobile devices, speech
recognition, ePaper),
* the link from personal to shared knowledge models,
* tools for computer-supported personal work (CSPW) in contrast to and
combination with CSCW.

Applications and case studies such as
* long-term studies,
* lab experiments,
* products and best practices,
* evaluation of personal knowledge work and supporting tools

=== Goals ===
The PKM 2009 workshop marks the begin of a workshop series aiming to
provide a forum to discuss in an interdisciplinary fashion all aspects of
PKM in theory and practice. By reflecting critically and building on
existing practitioner (consultants, tool vendors, early adaptors)
experiences and research results we aim to establish PKM as a sub-field of
KM.

=== Submissions ===
We invite submissions
* up to 8-10 pages
* LNI style (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/)
* in German or English,
* dealing with any of the above mentioned topics.

To stimulate a rich, interdisciplinary discussion we expect explicitly not
only formal scientific papers but also position papers, overview articles,
tool descriptions, case studies, etc. The type of work and current status
has to be clearly indicated, e.g. in a chapter “future work”, “status of
implementation” or “limitations”.

We can accept only submissions in PDF-Format via the WM conference
management system (http://www.km-conference2009.org/submissions.php).
For each accepted paper at least one author has to register at the
conference and present the paper in the workshop. Participation in the
workshop without a submitted or accepted paper is invited, too. Each
workshop participant must be registered at the WM conference.

Every submission is reviewed by at least two Program Committee members.
The reviews are mostly intended as a quality control and -improvement and
less as a selection procedure. Each presenter in the workshop is expected
to read another submission critically (and constructive!) to ask in-depth
questions at the workshop and to provide a counter position to launch
lively discussions.

All papers will be published as CEUR proceedings. A selected subset (based
on reviewers comments) will be published additionally as printed LNI
proceedings.

=== Workshop Format ===
We hope to get enough high-quality submissions to run a full-day workshop
- investigating a new interdisciplinary topic requires a larger proportion
of discussion than in established fields. Submissions will be presented as
long talks, short talks and lightning talks (position statements of
participants without papers). Each presenter gets assigned beforehand a
“challenger” to stimulate a critical and constructive discussion.

Some time of the workshop is reserved for group discussion to clarify and
consolidate terms, topics and goals of participants.
