Fwd: Journal of Electronic Commerce Research: VOL. 2, NO. 4, 2001

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Journal of Electronic Commerce Research: VOL. 2, NO. 4, 2001 Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 15:41:28 -0800 From: "Melody Kiang, Ph.D." <mkiang(a)CSULB.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the the Journal of Electronic Commerce Research, I am pleased to announce that Vol. 2, Number 4, 2001 issue of JECR is now available at the journal's improved web site at: "http://www.csulb.edu/journal". The issue includes the following four articles: The first paper entitled “E-COMMERCE SYSTEMS SUCCESS: AN ATTEMPT TO EXTEND AND RESPECIFY THE DELONE AND MACLEAN MODEL OF IS SUCCESS,” proposes an extended and comprehensive e-commerce model by respecifying the Delone and Maclean model of IS success. Effort is made to retain as much as possible the richness of the D&M model while at the same time allowing ways to capture the peculiar nature of e-commerce systems. The authors propose Customer E-commerce Satisfaction (CES) as a dependent variable to e-commerce success and define and discuss its relationships with e-commerce system quality, content quality, use, trust and support. Further research into developing, validating and empirically testing the model is also proposed. The second paper entitled “DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF PRODUCT CATEGORY ON SHOPPERS’ SELECTION OF WEB-BASED STORES: A PROBABILISTIC MODELING APPROACH,” analyzes the probability of buying products from a particular online store given a set of alternative vendors. The authors use a multinomial logit choice model to analyze experimental data of consumer choice in two product categories - books and computers, each of which represents goods that differ along the risk dimension. Their findings indicate the existence of differences in terms of the dimensions considered by consumers when buying high- vs. low-risk goods. Most notably, when purchasing computers online, aspects of uncertainty and risk are more salient than when purchasing books online. The authors also discuss the implications of these findings and areas for future research. The third paper entitled “A FRAMEWORK FOR ANALYZING THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF INTERNET MARKETING,” reviews benefits of online marketing along three channel functions (communication, transaction, and distribution) and identifies factors that affect the use of online marketing approach. The authors contend that product characteristics play a major role in the successfulness of Internet marketing. A framework is proposed to help evaluate the chance for a company to succeed in e-commerce. Data of failed e-tailers in the last two years were collected and analyzed using the proposed framework. The fourth paper entitled “STRATEGIES FOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN ELECTRONIC COMMERCE,” uses McCarthy’s four marketing mix model and Porter’s five competitive forces model to identify strategies for Internet companies that respond to the five competitive forces and thereby achieve a competitive advantage. The author’s contention is that as e-businesses shift their focus from building a customer base to increasing revenue growth and profitability, they should re-evaluate their current business strategies, if any, and develop strategies that provide a clear path to profitability. By addressing the need for unique strategies for different Internet companies, the author also provides additional insight into the importance of market-specific differences (differentiated vs. commodity goods markets) in developing e-business strategies that contribute to increased profit. -------------------------------------------------------

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: "Mgt & Org. Issues for DMSS" (for IRMJ) Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 10:14:13 -0800 From: Manuel Mora <mmorauaamx(a)visto.com> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Dear colleagues: I really appreciate the consideration for the CFP presented below. Sincerely. Manuel Mora Associate Professor Dept. of Information Systems Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes www.uaa.mx -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: -------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL ISSUE ON "MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES FOR DMSS: FOUNDATIONS, STUDY CASES AND LEARNED LESSONS " FOR INFORMATION RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JOURNAL (IRMJ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- I. RATIONALITY. Decision Making Support Systems (DMSS), have evolved or have been embedded, from classic DSS, EIS and ES/KBS, to or into Intelligent Systems, Web-DSS, OLAP&DW&DM systems, KMS and Enterprise Information and Decision Portals. All of them have offered organizational and individual benefits, such as improved organizational performance, improved decision quality, improved communication, enhanced mental models, amplified analytical skills of decision-makers, and reduced decision time frames. However, despite the availability of emergent IS&IT architectures in the market, successful DMSS are not immediate. Management and organizational barriers in addition to technological issues, must be overcome in order to have successful full implementations of DMSS. For this reason, we seek for articles that report scientific evidences of "Management and Organizational Issues for DMSS: Foundations, Study Cases and Learned Lessons". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - II. MISSION AND AIMS. This Special Issue's mission is to present the core and state of the art knowledge about the theory and application of management and organizational issues relevant to achieve successful implementations of Decision-Making Support Systems (DMSS) in organizations. The main aims are: (1) to generate a compendium of quality theoretical and applied papers on management and organizational issues in DMSS (2) to help diffuse scarce knowledge about effective methods and strategies for successfully designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating DMSS, and (3) to create an awareness among academicians and practitioners about the relevance of DMSS in the current complex and dynamic management environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------- III. TOPICS SOUGHT. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: * Project management of DMSS * DMSS implementation frameworks and models * DMSS development methodologies * Strategies for change-resistance management * Implementation of critical success factors * Lessons learned from failures or successful implementations of DMSS projects * Experiences in development of large-scale projects of DMSS. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. INSTRUCTIONS. The suggested length for each manuscript is 20-25 double-spaced typed pages, including graphs, tables, figures, and references. Original papers should be written to conform with the Information Resources Management Journal style guidelines document, which is available upon request. Papers will be evaluated using IRMJ procedures based on a double round blind review made by experts in the field. Please send all submissions electronically to: editors.dmss.irmj(a)visto.com with copy to mmmorauaamx(a)visto.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- V.

Since then similar workshops took place in Vancouver, Canada (1987), Dalgharten, Sweden (1991), Nara, Japan (1993), Lisbon, Portugal (1995) and most recently, the 6th NLULP took place in Las Cruces, New Mexico in December 1999, as part of the International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'99). This year, NLULP is affiliated again with ICLP, The International Conference on Logic Programming, which is held as part of FLoC'02, The 2002 Federated Logic Conference, the major computational logic event of the year. Topics of interest include all aspects of the intersection of Natural Language Understanding with Logic Programming and Constraint (Logic) Programming, both theoretical and practical, in all levels of linguistic investigation. Special emphasis will be given to works addressing the logical, mathematical and computational relationships between linguistic formalisms and logic programming. Relevant issues include, but are not limited to, investigations of the logical theory underlying linguistic formalisms; alternative approaches to the semantics of such formalisms; applications of constraint logic programming to ``constraint-based'' linguistic formalisms; issues governing grammar engineering, scalability, modularization, information encapsulation, etc; applications of inductive logic programming methods to NLP; higher-order logic programming; applications of functional programming to NLP; etc. However, all works dealing with issues of natural language and logic programming are welcome. Submission Papers should be written in English and describe original, unpublished work. They should emphasize completed rather than proposed work. The state of completion of reported results should be clearly indicated. Papers must be anonymous and refrain from self-reference. Accepted papers cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page.

CAiSE'02 will be held for the first time outside Europe, in the cosmopolitan city of Toronto. Toronto has been called the most multicultural city in the world, hosting more than 50,000 new immigrants per year, and boasting more than 100 languages spoken by some of its citizens. As in previous years, the conference programme will feature invited talks, technical paper presentations, workshops, tutorials and panel discussions. Conference Theme Web-based systems have become the status quo in information systems engineering practice. This change to the nature of information systems poses significant challenges to the research community, such as faster time-to-market, increased concerns for security and performance, open and evolving software architectures, dynamically composed electronic services, and more. The main theme of the CAiSE'02 conference will be "Web-Based Information Systems" and the conference programme will focus on both technologies and methodologies for building them. Relevant Topics Methodologies and Models for IS Requirements Engineering for IS Supply Chain Management Infrastructure for Internet Business Models Data Warehousing & OLAP E-government Information Quality Privacy and Security, Web Content Management and Distribution Workflow Systems Knowledge Management Business Process Models and Engineering Metadata and Ontologies Cooperative Work Support Novel Database Technologies Distributed, Web and Mobile Architectures OO and Agent-Oriented Technologies and their Applications to IS Development XML and IS Languages and Protocols for IS Component-ware and IS IS Reengineering Advanced Application Domains Validation and Evaluation of IS Models Call for Papers Papers are solicited either in the area of the general conference theme or relevant to the list of topics given above. Papers should not exceed 5,000 words. They must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. Proceedings from CAiSE'02 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The proceedings from previous CAiSE conferences are also available in this series. As in previous years, the best papers of the conference will be proposed for publication (after revision and additional refereeing) in a special issue of the international journal "Information Systems". Submission details Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper, in postscript or PDF format, to one of the programme committee co-chairs (John Mylopoulos or Carson Woo).
