Jan Jürjens Technical University of Dortmund Germany |
Scope
With the increasing dependence that the information society has on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the need to protect information is increasingly important for companies. The demand for products, systems and services with which to manage and maintain information is therefore increasing, and the realization of superficial security controls is not sufficient. It is necessary to apply a rigorous approach to the assessing and improvement of the security of products and processes that take place in the context of ICT. This has led to the emergence of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), which are of great importance to the stability of companies' information systems.
In this new edition of WOSIS, the traditional information systems security will be maintained but that area of security engineering which is oriented towards developing secure software, security aspects in new applications and technologies, and security management will also be considered. Topics such as model driven security approaches, security requirements elicitations, security in Cloud and Mobile computing, e-services, analysis and management of risks, and/or security assessment are therefore welcome in the WOSIS 2011 edition.

1st International Workshop on Information Value Management - IVM 2011
Co-chairs

Markus Helfert Dublin City University Ireland |
 |
Mouzhi Ge Technical University of Dortmund Germany |
Scope
With this workshop we aim to go beyond traditional IT productivity and cost evaluations; we view information as a crucial asset that creates value to an organizations, and thus needs to be managed accordingly for optimal business value. In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to Information Value Management. Research challenges include how to determine the Value of Information and its impact on business performance, managing Data and Information Quality, capturing and maintaining Information Assets, and designing and improving Information Manufacture System.

3rd International Workshop on Future Trends of Model-Driven Development - FTMDD 2011

Slimane Hammoudi ESEO, Angers France |
Scope
MDD is already around for some years and is about to become commodity in software development due to its benefits (reduction on development costs, improvement of software quality, reduction of maintenance costs and the support for controlled evolution of IT systems). MDD has also been applied in many application areas, such as real-time and embedded systems, and telecommunication systems, and, more recently, to the development and integration of enterprise information systems. However, the MDD research community is wishing to explore the bounds of MDD, by investigating new applications areas and combinations with other emerging technologies, like, for example, pervasive context-aware systems, Semantic web, Semantic web services, SOA and ontologies. This workshop aims at fostering the further development and application of MDD techniques. This is the third edition of this workshop, in which we want to build upon the very successful first and second editions in Milan and Madeira.

Scope
The "Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems" (RTSOABIS'11) is a second edition of a Workshop joint to ICEIS'2011 conference. Service Oriented Architecture is an architectural approach to designing, building, and deploying information systems such that the system is created from simpler manageable building blocks, offering "services". Each service implements a discrete piece of business functionality. These services can then be mixed and matched to create entirely new applications or to deliver new business capabilities. As a concept, SOA is not new. It is a product of the evolution of IT architecture and distributed computing concepts.
However, it has only become a reality over the last few years because of the emergence of standards and maturation of supporting technology.
At its core, service orientation is about aligning technology to efficiently and flexibly support the process and performance needs of the business. It means a technology which is capable to:
- Meets the process and performance needs of the business
- Adapts quickly to changing business needs
- Incorporate new technologies to deliver new business capability
This second edition of the workshop on Recent Trends in SOA Based Information Systems provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present results, applications, and experiences in information systems based on SOA and Web services.

9th International Workshop on Modelling, Simulation, Verification and Validation of
Enterprise Information Systems - MSVVEIS 2011

Scope
Modern business best practices can increase the level of confidence on Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) by applying strategic and economic decisions, and holding communication with business partners. In order to advance towards the engineering of this complex realm, Modelling, Simulation, Verification and Validation are of particular importance as they are crucial at the stages of the development of final Information Systems (IS) and their quality assurance testing.
In this context, the aim of MSVVEIS is to offer a common playground where methods currently used in industry for solving the problems faced by software developers in the area of EIS can be discussed. These problems are derived from the use of distributed resources interacting via synchronous or asynchronous communication, consistency of data, security and performance issues, as well as integrating agent technologies, web services and cloud computing, to mention just a few. Thus, the main objective of this edition of MSVVEIS is to serve as an open forum where industry bounded solutions and existing approaches in academic environments for EIS realization can be discussed, with the aim of benefiting both practitioners and researchers.
