The recent advances : in client/server computing and the growing application : of business process management (BPM) principles to : improve business performance have given rise to the : development of enterprise resource planning (ERP) : systems. ERP systems promise to provide an integrated : application environment with a fast and seamless : access to single unified information business-wide, : hence representing a catalyst for business process : change. Therefore, many organisations are currently : considering these systems as the IT platform capable : of enabling the shift to an integrated and : process-oriented business design. : : Papers are invited for a special issue of the Business : Process Management Journal (BPMJ) on 'Enabling : Process-Orientation through Enterprise Resource : Planning (ERP) Systems'. The aim is to publish : original work highlighting various issues involved in : the implementation of ERP systems for improving : business performance. Strategic frameworks, conceptual : and analytical models, surveys, and case studies : focusing on the tools/techniques, justification, : design and implementation of ERP systems are welcome : from both the academic and industrial community. : Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited : to: : : - Overall approaches and strategies of ERP systems' : deployment. : - Change management strategies for ERP : implementation. : - Business process management in ERP context. : - Standardisation, innovation, flexibility and : adaptability. : - ERP and competitiveness. : - Effectiveness and performance measurement. : - Investment evaluation/decision. : - ERP systems for various business sizes and : industries. : - Technology and knowledge transfer using ERP. : - Benchmarking for best practice in ERP context. : - Methods, techniques and tools for process-based : system analysis and design. : - ERP project management infrastructure. : - Critical success/failure factors. : - Managing strategic alliances and outsourcing in : ERP projects. : - Integrating ERP with E-commerce applications; : i.e., Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and : Total Enterprise Integration (TEI). : - Supply chain reengineering through ERP. : - Role of IS function in ERP implementation. : - Risk management in ERP projects. : - Managing various scales of change in ERP : implementation. : - Success and failure in ERP implementation. : - Technical aspects of ERP implementation : (customisation, connectivity, etc). : - Training and teaching aspects of ERP systems. : - ERP in IS curriculum. : - Current and future development in ERP market and : application. : - Methodological aspects of ERP research. : : Manuscripts should be 3000-5000 words in length, : single-spaced and in A4 Word format.

Forwarded message from [dstraub(a)CIS.GSU.EDU (Detmar Straub)] sent originally on Sat, 19 Feb 2000 16:32:20 -0500: : --=====================_24622193==_.ALT : Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed : : CALL FOR PAPERS on Electronic Commerce Metrics : Special Issue of: Information Systems Research : : Electronic Commerce (EC) has evolved along with maturing communication : technologies like the World Wide Web and the Internet. Increasingly, EC : includes the actual delivery of products and services (e.g., software, : information) in addition to advertising, ordering, and settlement of accounts. : The purpose of this special issue is to stimulate empirical research and : theoretical development so that knowledge about the measurement of : electronic commerce activities may advance. Because most firms have only : now begun to position themselves to exploit the business opportunities : presented by EC, it is difficult to know how best to measure the costs and : benefits of this activity. Without a solid base in theory and research, the : impacts of EC on organizations, industries, and entire economies will : remain the object of speculation and guesswork. Such impacts research has : an applied value insofar as it can inform managers about how their EC : initiatives can be effectively undertaken and managed. Research conducted : now, relatively early in the evolution of EC, will foster a better : understanding of emerging organizational practices and enable more : effective realization of EC's potential. : : The potential organizational implications of EC are profound and : experienced at many levels of social and economic analysis. At the industry : level, the large organizations we know today may become obsolete, replaced : by highly efficient electronic markets populated by large numbers of buyers : and sellers connected electronically through B2B commerce. What are the : relevant metrics for this form of commerce? At the level of the individual : buyer and their interaction with the organization in B2C commerce, the : clickstream of events can be captured and analyzed, but exactly what does : it mean? Are there patterns of behavior that are associated with certain : types of consumer? Are there patterns in electronic markets that are : different than traditional exchange relationships? Are there ways to : explain these patterns theoretically? : : Measuring EC at the micro-consumer and market participant level will : increase our understanding of the impact of systems design, competition, : and brand loyalty on outcomes. Manuscripts that address any of the : following questions and others related to the theme for the special issue : are invited. Both conceptual and empirical papers are welcome. : : How should the entire discussion of measurement of EC activities be : framed? Are there solid theoretical or conceptual frameworks that can : guide research? What macro-level phenomena need to be measured and how : should economists and policy-makers measure these?

[forwarded] IFIP WG 8.2 Conference, June, Aalborg, Denmark
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Feb '00

21 Feb '00

Forwarded message from [pan(a)CS.AUC.DK (Peter Axel Nielsen)] sent originally on Sun, 20 Feb 2000 14:00:51 +0100: : First Call For Participation : : IFIP WG 8.2 Working Conference 2000 : =================================== : : Conference Site: http://www.cs.auc.dk/~is2000 with the following topics. : * Programme : * Aalborg, Denmark : * Registration : * Accomodation : * Travel information : * Full papers on-line (for registrered paryicipants only) : Early registration until 28th February : : The Social and Organizational Perspective on Research and Practice in : Information Technology : : 10-12 June, 2000 : Aalborg, Denmark : : General Chairs: Heinz K. Klein, Binghamton University : M. Lynne Markus, Claremont Graduate University : Organizing Chair: Peter Axel Nielsen, Aalborg University : Program Chairs: Jan Stage, Aalborg University : Richard Baskerville, Georgia State University : : About the Conference : : IFIP Working Group 8.2 intends to meet at this conference to mark the turn : of the first century of the information age. The purpose of the conference : is to denote the transition from past to current to future investigations : of the relationships and interactions among four major components: : information systems (IS), information technology (IT), organizations and : society. These investigations share a primary focus on the : interrelationships, not on the components themselves. The various : contributions to the conference deal with the history of IS theory and : technology, with the directions faced by those sharing the concerns of the : field in its future research, and with attempts to draw these two views : together. Five discourses collectively seek to answer the key question: : "What is the status of IS, as related to organizations and society, now : that we stand at the juncture of the new century?" These discourses deal : with the fundamental concepts, the classical and novel challenges, the : conceptualization processes, automation, and new technology. : : What will be our story as we turn the first century of the information age? : We believe that IT is even more critical in social interaction in : organizations, that human language barriers form fundamental roadblocks to : IT implementation, that newer forms of IS integrate horizontally rather : than vertically, and that the mix of skills and knowledge is changing. We : also find that we lack integrated approaches to risk management, that new : social costs are being unleashed on people by the wiring of society, and we : are rushing headlong into globalized systems with our eyes closed. : : The conference will discuss how the old end user tension between central : control and innovation has reappeared in the intranet world, how IT has : been converted to a cultural commodity, and explore how the video screen : has become the central means for discovering our relevance to our universe. : We will explore the surprising ways that machines have acquired human : status, not through robotics, but rather through social construction. We : will discover new norms for defining the relationships and exchanges : between human beings and computers. For example, gender defines IS success : and web design defines social relationships. Consequently, we may see how : systems must now be developed interpretively, rather than through : rational-technical IS design principles used in the last century. : : The Conference is being held on the campus of Aalborg University, a : beautiful rural setting minutes from the delightful city of Aalborg : Denmark. The Vikings founded Aalborg where the Limfjord, the great waterway : of northern Jutland, is at its narrowest. The city has a charming : 16th-century look and a hearty nightlife; the local brew flows in quantity : at Jomfru Anne Gade, a tiny cobblestone street in the center of Aalborg, : where 400-year-old buildings house inns, pubs and cafes. : : ___________________________________________________________ : !

[forwarded] SECOND CFP for AMCIS 2000 Mini-Track on Understanding Knowledge Work
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Feb '00

17 Feb '00

Forwarded message from [ykim(a)ICS.UCI.EDU (Jeff Kim)] sent originally on Thu, 17 Feb 2000 10:03:40 -0800: : AMCIS 2000 : Americas Conference on Information Systems : Long Beach, California : August 10th - 13th, 2000 : : Call for Papers for the Mini Track : "Understanding Knowledge Work" : : This mini-track invites research addressing the information systems : development issues related to knowledge work. Even though the : definitions of knowledge work are varied and inconclusive, it is : argued that knowledge workers include professionals, consultants, : technicians, scientists, intellectuals and managers. Furthermore, : knowledge work is described as the production and re-production of : information and knowledge, it is cerebral and involves the : manipulation of abstractions and symbols, and it typically requires : formal education. With the advent of the information age in which : information and knowledge are viewed as primary economic resources, : knowledge workers are becoming increasingly important. This implies : that we need to understand who knowledge workers are and what they do : in order to design and implement technologies that support them. : : In this mini-track, we therefore want to explore the definition and : characterization of knowledge work and knowledge workers. We also : want to examine knowledge work practices to get a better : understanding of what knowledge workers actually do. We are thus : interested in the following questions: : - What is knowledge work? : - Who are the people we call knowledge workers? : - What do knowledge workers actually do and how is their work done? : - How can we ensure that the implications of knowledge workers' practices are : considered in the design and implementation of information technology? : : Of particular interest are field studies that not only discuss what : knowledge work is but also how it is accomplished. However, this : mini-track is also open to a variety of research approaches, : including amongst others conceptual development, surveys, and : laboratory experiments. : : Examples of research invited by this mini-track include, but are not : limited to: : o Research that develops definitions of knowledge work; : o Research that explores the essential differences between knowledge work : and other categories of work, e.g., craft work and service work; : o Research on knowledge work in practice, i.e., what knowledge workers : actually do and how it is done; : o Research exploring the relationship between knowledge workers and : technology; : o Research accessing the issues of requirement analysis for the : design and implementation of information systems for knowledge work; : o Genealogical research on knowledge work as a category of work; and : o Research on the social implications of knowledge work as a category of : work : : Mini Track Co-Chairs : : Jeffrey Kim : Whitehead College : University of Redlands : 1200 East Colton Street : Box 3080 : Redlands, CA 92373-0999 : Email: kim(a)uor.edu : (909) 748 - 6263 : Fax: (909) 335-3400 : : Ulrike Schultze : Cox School of Business : Southern Methodist University : PO Box 750333 : Dallas TX 75275-0333 : Email: uschultz(a)mail.cox.smu.edu : (214) 768-4265 : Fax: (214) 768-4099 : : Important Dates: : Submission of Material: March 15, 2000 : Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2000 : Camera-Ready Copy: May 5, 2000 : Conference Registration: June 1, 2000 : : Submission Guidelines: : All submissions and inquiries are to be made to : Mini-Track Co-Chair: : Jeffrey Kim : University of Redlands : email: kim(a)uor.edu. : : Submissions must be in English, and should represent the original : work of the authors.

Forwarded message from [mraising(a)GSM.UDALLAS.EDU (Mike Raisinghani)] sent originally on Wed, 16 Feb 2000 10:25:54 -0600: : JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE RESEARCH : (SPECIAL ISSUE, IV issue, November 2000) : : Call for Papers on Intelligent Agents in E-Commerce : : ==================================================================== : SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR THE SPECIAL IV ISSUE IS JUNE 1, 2000 : : ==================================================================== : : Guest Editor: Mahesh S. Raisinghani, Ph.D. : Graduate School of Management, University of Dallas : : Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for consideration : for publication in the : Special Issue of the Journal of Electronic Commerce on Intelligent : Agents in E-Commerce. : One of the most discussed topics in the information systems/e-commerce : literature today is : intelligent agent technology. Software agents are simply high-level : software abstractions : with inherent capabilities for communication, decision making, control : and autonomy. They : have several aliases such as agents, bots, chatterbots, databots, : intellibots, and intelligent : software robots which provide a powerful mechanism to address complex : software : engineering problems such as abstraction, encapsulation, modularity, : reusability, : concurrency and distributed operations. Much research and many articles : have been : devoted to this topic, and the general characteristics of intelligent : agents are accepted as : reactive, autonomous, adaptive, goal-oriented/reasoning, : cooperative/social, flexible, self- : starting, mobile, temporal continuous, and personality. : : A growing number of information systems professionals recognize that : there are certain : problems and issues surrounding intelligent agent terminology and : technology that must be : resolved if agent technology is to continue to develop and mature. The : current research into : intelligent agent software technology can be broken up into two main : areas: technological : and social. The latter area is particularly important since, in the : excitement of new and : emergent technology, people often forget to examine what impact the new : technology will : have on peoples lives. In fact, the social dimension of all : technology is the driving force : and most important consideration of technology itself. The technology : is not created and : produced for its own sake, but to improve peoples lives. Technology : and computers and : software are not created simply to see what the human mind can achieve, : but they are : created for the sake of human beings. In the Management Challenges : for the 21st Century, : Peter F. Drucker suggests that in this period of profound social and : economic changes, : managers should focus on the meaning of information, not the technology : that collects it. : What ought to be the focus of attention in this information revolution, : as argued by Peter : Drucker in The Next Information Revolution, is how to manage the : information. That is, : the emphasis should shift from the T in IT to the I : (http://www.forbes.com/asap/98/0824/046.htm, 1998). : : This special issue of the Journal of Electronic Commerce Research is : seeking papers that : address the increasing importance of information value-adding : activities by intelligent agents : and the role of intelligent agents in knowledge management. The target : audience is the : academic and practitioner community. The emphasis is on taking an : interdisciplinary view : that integrates technology and business models. Of particular interest : are papers that : embrace a inter/multidisciplinary perspective on the challenge of : integrated change in the : context of introducing, integrating, and exploiting intelligent agents : in e-commerce. Such : papers will ideally draw on perspectives from the domains of computer : science, : e-commerce, information systems, psychology, and sociology. Papers may : be conceptual, : empirical, theoretical, or descriptive in nature. Rigor and relevance : is stressed and : recommended. : : Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): : : · the design and implementation of intelligent agents in : e-commerce : : · intelligent agents for coordination of : business-to-business services (such as with : Internet-based EDI and supply-chain management) or : consumer-to-consumer services, : such as in electronic auctions, and their impact on the : global economy : : · intelligent agents in dynamic trading and exchange models : : · empirical studies on intelligent agents/case studies of : intelligent agents in various : functional areas of business or other fields from a : single, multi or interdisciplinary : perspective : : · the development and management of the infrastructure and : technologies needed to : deliver electronic services using intelligent agents : : · the impact of intelligent agents on individuals, : organizations and society : : · future research directions for intelligent agent : technology and applications. : : For submission guidelines of the manuscripts see the following URL: : http://www.csulb.edu/journals/jecr/s_g.htm . Email your submission as : an attachment in any : version of Microsoft Word or as a Rich Text File (RTF) to the guest : editor for this special : issue, Dr. Raisinghani at mraising(a)gsm.udallas.edu. Articles that have : been presented at : a scientific conference are welcome for submission, even though they : may be published in : non-copy protected Proceedings. However, manuscripts being considered : by another journal : at the same time will not be accepted. : : If accepted for publication, the author(s) will be required to submit a : final version of the : manuscript on an IBM-PC compatible disk or as an e-mail attachment in : Microsoft Word or : Rich Text Format (RTF) with a short biographical note and a photograph : of the author(s).

Forwarded message from [cg(a)axlog.fr] sent originally on Thu, 17 Feb 2000 00:52:15 +0800 (GMT-8): : ====================================================== : Constraint-based Scheduling and Planning for Autonomous Agents : ------------------------------------------------------ : the 29 of February, 2000 : Paris : Holiday Inn République : ------------------------------------------------------ : : This seminar address solving techniques for problems involved by the : design of multi-agent systems. Those are composed with several agents, : which can be autonomous. Agent based systems are of a great interest for : industrial and scientists, since the past 10 years, especially in : spatial and air domain. For example, developing a space probe, : spacecraft or autonomous vehicles requires to deal with intelligent : embedded functions. : : However, making use of those system is limited by highly : combinatorial problems and complex collaborative behaviours. Thus, the : operational capacity of the whole system is generally restricted due to : the implementation of simple heuristics. For example, path or motion : planning, task scheduling are still critical functions of those : multi-agent systems. : : Now, those combinatorial problems have been widely investigated through : Constraint Programming languages, Operation Research or with the help of : local search techniques. Benefit from those patterns are of different : kinds, depending on the completeness, the complexity and the generecity : of the solving method. : : During the seminar, we will study how solving functions extracted from : those domains can be linked with multi-agent system behaviors such as : collaboration and cooperation or how it can reinforce mechanisms like : coordination. The seminar will tackle topics related to the design of : solving method and decision techniques in order to integrate them into : multi-agent architectures. We will highlight how advanced solutions : can deal with requirements involved by modification of the agent : forecast. : : - Requirement examples for architectures based onto multiple : autonomous agent in hostile environment. : - Composition of solving paradigms with multi-agent features and : mechanisms (collaboration, cooperation, coordination). : - Languages allowing a higher expressiveness of both solving : methods and solving integration into agents. : - Model examples allowing to compose cooperation or collaboration : strategies between agents with solving or decision methods. : - Tool and design framework for prototyping, simulating and : validating multi-agent architecture behavior based over those methods. : : Through presentations we will identify difficulties and state : parts of solutions. Industrial examples under development will be also : presented such as autonomous vehicle planning. The seminar will involve : scientists specialized in both problem solving and multi agent systems : and companies currently experimenting those techniques. : : ======================================================== : : For more information, check our web page: : : http://www.axlog.fr/gazette.html -- Wirtschaftsinformatik, FB5, Universitaet GH Essen Gustaf.Neumann(a)uni-essen.de, neumann(a)computer.org http://nestroy.wi-inf.uni-essen.de/Neumann.html
