On the 24th of August, we'll be facing off against 5 other teams around the globe - to see who is the fastest team in the world. To do so we need a team of 16, and are still short a few players.

It's easy to learn, heaps of fun, and although there is running involved, it's only for a minute at a time. Plus we always start with tea, coffee and biscuits or cake.

If you're still not clear on what this sport is all about, check out the video below, the FAQs on our blog (http://www.thelostsport.co.nz), or email us.

1st Workshop on Mashups, Enterprise Mashups and Lightweight Composition on
the Web (MEM&LCW 2008)

held in conjunction with

the Ninth International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering
(WISE 2008)
http://wise2008.mucoms.org/

Auckland, New Zealand
September 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, 2008

Deadline for submissions extended to April 30th, 2008

=========================================================================

Today's business world relies on a range of sophisticated IT solutions.
Due to the sophistication, business and IT have separated in many
organizations. That separation has left a gap between the two and has led
to high frequencies of IT project escalation and failure. While the gap
between business and IT does not pose a difficulty for highly structured
business problems and processes that are stable in time, it is a major
obstacle for all other problems and processes.
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) along with Web 2.0 technologies and
paradigms, such as mashups and lightweight composition, are believed to
provide a handle to overcome this situation and enable a potential
candidate for a solution that will be essential in bridging the gap
between business and IT.
The new technologies leveraging SOA and Web 2.0 technologies, such as
mashups, enterprise mashups, and lightweight composition, provide business
users with ability to compose and/or use simple applications that follow
their requirements, and not require programming skills, or even
understanding of the concept of SOA, while providing the requested
functionalities.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing research
topics underlying the concepts of lightweight composition, mashups, and
enterprise mashups. By bringing together representatives of academia and
industry, the workshop is also an important venue for identifying new
research problems and disseminating results of the research. By
affiliating with a renowned international conference, the workshop
provides a possibility to interact with researchers from other areas of
the domain of Information Systems.
The workshop organizers invite contributions falling into broad categories
of theoretical considerations, practical solution demonstrations, and
lessons learned from real life implementations of mashups, enterprise
mashups, and lightweight composition systems.


TOPICS

The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to the following:
* Governance of mashup technologies
* Lightweight information integration
* Mashups and legacy applications
* Mashups in process aware information systems
* Security of widgets, gadgets, and related technologies
* Security of enterprise information in mashups
* Standards and protocols for lightweight composition
* Technical requirements of mashups
* User interface aspects of lightweight composition
* Value of mashups for enterprises

SUBMISSION
