:
: <bigger><bigger>Call for Papers for the Mini Track
:
: "Philosophical Foundations of Information Systems"
:
: </bigger></bigger>This mini track is a continuation of a very successful
: line of mini-tracks that originated with the 1996 AIS conference in
: Phoenix, Arizona. Many leading scholars have participated in the
: mini-track, including West Churchman, Dick Mason, Rudy Hirschheim, Murray
: Turoff, and Kristo Ivanov. We expect an equally impressive list this
: year, if the mini-track is approved. Papers, panels and/or workshops
: dealing with any aspect of philosophy and its relationship to IS
: research, teaching or practice are solicited. Philosophy is an
: established and vast field, as compared to our fledgling area of
: information systems. Yet the roots of IS literature extend from
: philosophy going back to Churchman's work on Inquiring Systems, and Mason
: and Mitroff's "MIS research program" article in 1973. Over the years a
: host of others have relied on philosophy as a reference discipline. This
: mini-track is founded on the belief that we have hardly begun to tap the
: potential of philosophy in our work, especially in developing a more
: robust foundation for what we do. The objective is to explore how
: philosophy has been used as a reference discipline in the past, and to
: foster the development of a "philosophy of information technology." The
: continuing explosion of information technology in forms such as the World
: Wide Web and commercial information services is leading to an intrusion
: of information technology into our personal and business lives at a scope
: only imagined just a few years ago. Understanding and managing the
: implications of this technology seems to be a vital issue, not only for
: scholars of IS, but for human kind as a whole. It seems appropriate that
: we turn to philosophy as away of understanding these issues. .(general
: description of the mini track in one paragraph).
:
: Possible Topics include, but are not limited to:
:
: Ethical issues in IS
:
: Philosophy of science and its relationship to IS research and
: methodologies
:
: Roles that philosophy might play in relation to IS issues
:
: The philosophy of information technology
:
: IS epistemology
:

: 3 April 2000 Workshop at CHI2000
:
: OVERVIEW
:
: Distributed teams and the technology to 'virtually collocate' team members are becoming more widespread. This one-day workshop will bring together researchers, designers, developers, and early adopters of these technologies to study how technology can achieve the benefits of physical collocation, for virtually collocated groups.
:
: The problem for virtually collocated teams is that they are expected to perform as physically collocated teams: to provide deliverables, meet project schedules, and to generate feasible and even innovative problem solutions-all from a distance. Team members often span different departments, organizations, countries, and even companies, often rarely or never meeting face-to-face. How can team members successfully adopt the technology when peer pressures are from a distance, and management and technical support may be weak at local sites?
:
: It is widely believed that a well-functioning group (whether physically or virtually collocated) needs to forge common goals, working procedures, and rules of interaction. The key word in our workshop is teams; we focus on how team social processes are affected by distance, and how they impact work. We intend to clarify research issues concerning experiences and recommendations, team processes, measuring impact, and the value of face-to-face meeting.
:
: Participants will be selected based on a 3-5 page position paper submission describing lessons-learned and recommendations for virtually collocated teams. We are looking for a diverse group of participants with experiences of technology usage by intra- and inter-organizational, interdisciplinary, and cross-cultural groups.

: DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
:
: The consortium's goals are to improve the quality of research done in
: agent research and to
: encourage Ph.D. students to actively participate in the field after
: completing their
: dissertations. As part of the consortium, each participant will receive
: a constructive critique
: of his or her methods and approach as well as training in offering such
: critiques. The
: consortium will also focus on a methodology for conducting high quality
: research and how
: to write and present papers for the conference series. It will also
: outline other ways in
: which students can participate in the agent research community.
: ------------------
: Duration: one day.
: -------------------
: ______________________________________________________________________
:

: AMCIS 2000
: Americas Conference on Information Systems
: Long Beach, California
: August 10th - 13th, 2000
:
: Call for Papers for the Mini Track
: "Adoption and Diffusion of Electronic Commerce"
:
: Although the last couple of years have witnessed an explosive growth in
: electronic commerce activities in many parts of the world, very little is
: known about the exact nature, dynamics and impact of this phenomenon. There
: is a paucity of systematic and rigorous investigations reported in the
: literature, despite the enormous importance of this phenomenon. This mini
: track is an attempt to help fill this gap by providing a rigorous forum to
: draw together important recent developments in this area. The focus of this
: mini track will be on the antecedents, processes and dynamics relating to
: the adoption and diffusion of electronic commerce, and the subsequent impact
: of adoption. Adoption is the process through which organizations or
: individuals decide to engage in electronic commerce activities. Diffusion is
: the process through which electronic commerce activities become assimilated
: into the lives and behaviors of organizations and individuals. A broad
: perspective of electronic commerce is taken so that it includes not only
: business-to-business and business-to-consumer electronic commerce
: activities, but also intra-organizational electronic commerce activities
: such as workflow and ERP systems and their integration with external
: electronic commerce systems such as on-line shopping malls.
:
: Topics for this mini track may include (but are not limited to) the
: following aspects of electronic commerce:
:
: * Models of adoption
: * Models of diffusion
: * Assimilation patterns
: * Critical success factors
: * Relationship between organizational learning and adoption
: * Relationship between culture and adoption
: * Antecedents and consequents of adoption
: * Barriers of adoption
: * Managing the adoption and diffusion processes
: * Impacts on consumer behavior, business processes,
: organizational and industry structures
: * Virtual e-Commerce organizations
: * Shopping malls
: * Supply Chain Management systems
:
: This mini track welcomes papers addressing the above topics using a wide
: range of research methodologies including conceptual, laboratory
: experiments, surveys, and case studies, among others. Selected papers will
: be fast-tracked for publication in the Journal of Global Information
: Management (JGIM).

: Call for participation to
: Fundamentals of Information and Knowledge Systems , FoIKS'2000
: February 14 - 17, 2000
: Burg, Spreewald (near Berlin), Germany
:
: http://www.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~foiks
:
:
: FoIKS is intended to be a biannual event focussing on theoretical foundations
: of information and knowledge systems. It is dealing with any foundational
: aspect of information and knowledge systems, e.g.
: logical foundations and semantics of data models,
: dependency theory,
: integrity and security,
: temporal aspects,
: foundations of information systems design including
: web-based information services,
: query languages and optimization,
: database dynamics,
: intelligent agents,
: non-monotonic reasoning,
: application of non-classical logics,
: finite model theory,
: deduction, abduction and induction in data and knowledge bases.
:
: The symposium is intended to be a forum for intensive discussions. For this
: reason the time slot of long and short contributions is 60 and 30 minutes,
: respectively, followed by 30 and 15 minutes for discussions, respectively.
:
: In addition, there is a special session for the presentation and discussion
: of open research problems. Database and information systems research
: discussed
: in most conferences is oriented towards hot topics. The old research problems
: are remaining still open. In order to discuss these problems conferences need
: to have larger slots for discussing issues. Also in this sense, FOIKS aims to
: take up the old tradition of the conference series ``Mathematical
: Fundamentals of Database Systems'' (MFDBS) which enabled East-West
: collaboration in the
: field of database theory (Springer LNCS 305, 364, 495). The open problems
: session will be based on the open problems collection obtained during
: MFDBS. Each participant is asked to contribute to this list or to discuss
: the current
: situation for the open problems already known.
:
: For more information, attendance form etc. see
