On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems: OTM 2015 Workshops: Confederated International Workshops: OTM Academy, OTM Industry Case Studies Program, EI2N, FBM, INBAST, ISDE, META4eS, and MSC 2015, Rhodes, Greece, October 26-30, 2015. Proceedings

International audienceThis volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the following 8 International Workshops: OTM Academy; OTM Industry Case Studies Program; Enterprise Integration, Interoperability, and Networking, EI2N; International Workshop on Fact Based Modeling 2015, FBM; Industrial and Business Applications of Semantic Web Technologies, INBAST; Information Systems, om Distributed Environment, ISDE; Methods, Evaluation, Tools and Applications for the Creation and Consumption of Structured Data for the e-Society, META4eS; and Mobile and Social Computing for collaborative interactions, MSC 2015. These workshops were held as associated events at OTM 2015, the federated conferences "On The Move Towards Meaningful Internet Systems and Ubiquitous Computing", in Rhodes, Greece, in October 2015.The 55 full papers presented together with 3 short papers and 2 popsters were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 100 submissions. The workshops share the distributed aspects of modern computing systems, they experience the application pull created by the Internet and by the so-called Semantic Web, in particular developments of Big Data, increased importance of security issues, and the globalization of mobile-based technologies

ConfSys3.5: A Kaizen Conference Management System

After over a decade and half of the development and improvement based on real experience, the third generation of ConfSys (ConfSys3) not only possesses features such as user-group management, daemon and multi-track academic meetings, but also is able to support multi-series academic conference. The experience with these previous versions of ConfSys pointed to the need for better usability and additional features for system management. This thesis presents the design and implementation of ConfSys3.5, a kaizen conference management system, with continuous improvements and new features to assist academics to manage the processes of their events, and to provide related services for author and conference participants. ConfSys3.5 uses the same Tomcat - Java Servlet/JSP - MySQL platform as previous versions of ConfSys, but has introduced Struts 2 in Java web application, improved database and user interfaces to address user’s requirements. Both user friendliness and efficiency in ConfSys3.5 have been improved thanks to the lessons learned from developing and using earlier versions of ConfSys. ConfSys3.5 not only improves usability, but also introduces new concepts, such as Auto Session Management and Program Generation to reduce repetitive work and make management work more flexible. Furthermore, the improved software framework and database provides clear structure and flexibility, thus making the maintenance and expansion of the software system easier

CONFSYS2: a redesigned web-based multi-conference management system

This thesis presents the design and implementation of ConfSys2, an advanced redesign of ConfSys system, with additional features to help conference/journal organizers to manage the processes of academic conferences/journal, and to provide related services for author and conference participants. The ConfSys2 uses the same Tomcat - Java Servlet/JSP - MySQL platform as ConfSys, but redesigned database structure, software framework, and user interfaces. The features of ConfSys have been retained and improved both in user friendliness and efficiency in ConfSys2, and the lessons learnt from developing and using ConfSys have been incorporated. ConfSys2 not only implements better user interface for ConfSys's useful functions, such as automatically/manually allocating paper to reviewers, debating and rating paper, but also introduces new concepts, such as conference/journal series management, user-group-function management, and smart daemon in conference management to improve data sharing, reduce repetitive work and make management work more flexible. Furthermore, the redesign of databases and software framework provides clear structure and flexibility, thus making the maintenance and expanding of the software system easier

Semantic discovery and reuse of business process patterns

Patterns currently play an important role in modern information systems (IS) development and their use has mainly been restricted to the design and implementation phases of the development lifecycle. Given the increasing significance of business modelling in IS development, patterns have the potential of providing a viable solution for promoting reusability of recurrent generalized models in the very early stages of development. As a statement of research-in-progress this paper focuses on business process patterns and proposes an initial methodological framework for the discovery and reuse of business process patterns within the IS development lifecycle. The framework borrows ideas from the domain engineering literature and proposes the use of semantics to drive both the discovery of patterns as well as their reuse
