---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: JOURNAL OF END USER COMPUTING, 14, 1, TABLE OF CONTENTS AND ABSTR ACTS Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2001 15:21:13 -0700 From: "Mahmood, Mo Adam" <mmahmood(a)UTEP.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE The contents of the latest issue of: Journal of End User Computing Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association Vol. 14, 1, October-December 2001 Editor: Mo Adam Mahmood, University of Texas, El Paso RESEARCH PAPERS ARTICLE ONE: "The Focus of Research in End User Computing: Where Have We Come Since the 1980s?" Anne Powell, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, USA Jo Ellen Moore, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, USA This paper reviews academic literature on EUC from the 1990s and maps it to a framework developed by Brancheau and Brown (1993). In addition, the paper statistically compares the distribution of EUC research topics in the 1980s (as classified by Brancheau and Brown) to the distribution resulting from the present review of articles published in the 1990s. Issues identified as being in need of research at the close of the 1980s are revisited to determine if academic research in the 1990s has attempted to address them, and suggestions for future directions in EUC research are extended.

Trevor Wood-Harper, University of Salford, UK, & University of South Australia, Australia This paper contrasts an IT-oriented view of EUC with a proposed, alternative user-oriented view. The paper advocates a shift in EUC research away from the technology and the IT issues towards the political, social and cultural issues associated with the users. EUC problems are, in the main, organizational problems requiring a research approach which addresses dynamic issues emerging over a period of time. As a basis for such research, the paper proposes a dynamic model for EUC in which the progression of EUC within an organization is visualized as a series of inference loops.

Aladwani, Kuwait University, Kuwait This paper reports the results of a field study that investigated the relationship among organizational actions (management advocacy and internal computing support), computer attitudes, and end-user satisfaction in public organizations. The results show that computer attitudes have a positive direct influence on end-user satisfaction. The findings also reveal that management advocacy has positive direct effects on computer attitudes and end-users satisfaction.

Mykytyn, JR., Southern Illinois University, USA Not too many years ago, hardly anyone had heard the terms "Web browser," "Web," or "electronic commerce." Now, the Web is changing the way businesses do business, and, of course, it is changing the way many end users conduct their business as well. This paper discusses briefly two of the legal issues that can confront today's end users as they do business over the Web. They are matters dealing with contract law and jurisdictional questions. EDITORIAL NOTE If you are presently conducting research or have an interest in the end user computing area and you would like to get a free copy of the present issue of the journal, please let me know. You can make a request even if you have received a free copy before. Please do remember that I will only have a few sample copies to distribute and, therefore, I may not be able to satisfy everyone's request (I was able to satisfy everyone's request for a copy of the last issue). Of course, you can always buy a copy from Jan Travers (email: jtravers(a)idea-group.com <mailto:jtravers@idea-group.com> ) at the Idea Group Publishing office or ask your library to subscribe to JEUC.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CfP for CRIWG'2002 - 8th International Workshop on Groupware Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2001 10:02:51 +0100 From: "Joerg M. Haake" <haake(a)IPSI.FHG.DE> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Dear Colleagues, attached find the Call for Paper for CRIWG'2002 - the 8th International Workshop on Groupware, to be held September 1-4, 2002, in La Serena, Chile. Please, distribute it to colleagues who might be interested in submitting a paper or attending the workshop. Best regards, Joerg Haake (Program Chair, CRIWG'2002) ------- CALL FOR PAPERS CRIWG'2002 - the 8th International Workshop on Groupware September 1-4, 2002, La Serena, Chile. WORKSHOP FOCUS The Eighth International Workshop on Groupware follows on the success of previous CRIWG workshops held in Lisbon, Portugal (1995), Puerto Varas, Chile (1996), El Escorial, Spain (1997), Buzios, Brazil (1998), Cancun, Mexico (1999), Madeira Island, Portugal (2000), and Darmstadt, Germany (2001). The CRIWG workshops have been motivated by recent advances in computer-supported cooperative work, and by the need for CSCW to meet the challenges of new application areas. This workshop aims at providing a forum for academic researchers and professionals to exchange experiences and to engage in discussions of the research issues in designing, building, and using groupware applications. CRIWG is rooted in the Ibero-American community of researchers in CSCW, but it is completely open to contributors and participants from anywhere. Researchers can report these experiences to CRIWG through two categories of contributions: full technical papers and work in progress papers. In addition, Ph.D. candidates can submit to the doctoral colloquium. All topics related to the groupware area are welcome, including: * Virtual groups and virtual worlds * Collaborative workspaces, Tailoring * Workflow management and coordination * Groupware development frameworks and toolkits * Distribution support * Group decision and negotiation support, Meetingware * Multi-user interfaces, Group Awareness * Hypermedia systems, Digital libraries * Cooperative Learning * Monitoring and analysis of group interactions * Organizational computing * Social aspects of group work * Work modeling It is expected that the workshop will promote a very intensive interaction among those attending it, giving ample time to discuss papers. Each full paper will have a 45-minute slot for presentation and discussion. Work in Progress will have 30 minutes. In both cases, a moderator will present his/her view of the paper to initiate the discussion. The Workshop Proceedings will include contributions accepted by the Program Committee, and will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Electronic submission, up to 20 pages (10 pages for work in progress), following the Springer LNCS format (see below), is due on April 22, 2002. We will use a double-blind reviewing process. Please, do not include the author's name and affiliation or any indication, which may disclose the paper authorship, in the submitted paper itself. Instead, submit a separate submission page with the paper title, the authors including their affiliations, the contact author, the submission category (full paper or work in progress), an abstract and up to 5 keywords. The submission website will provide further instructions. In the meantime, a temporary web site is installed at: http://ipsi.fhg.de/concert/criwg02/ and http://www.dcc.uchile.cl/~luguerre/criwg/ Ph.D. candidates can electronically submit a position paper to the doctoral colloquium, which will be held prior to the workshop. For details, see the doctoral colloquium website http://ipsi.fhg.de/concert/criwg02/dc/. As a result of the reviewing process, the Program Committee may suggest changes in the format and/or the contents of the paper, including the category of the paper. In this case, a paper will be conditionally accepted. The PC Chair will decide on the final acceptance or rejection, based on the analysis of the revised paper. The format for the final version will be the Springer LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), which includes e.g. templates for MS Word and Latex. Examples and additional instructions will be available at the workshop website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: April 22, 2002 Notification of acceptance: May 22, 2002 Final articles due: June 19, 2002 Workshop: September 1-4, 2002 CONFERENCE CHAIR Jose A.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: ECIS'2002 - Österreichische Beiträge wanted Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 14:49:45 +0100 From: "Heinrich C. Mayr" <mayr(a)ifit.uni-klu.ac.at> To: mayr(a)ifit.uni-klu.ac.at Cc: Wrycza(a)ifit.uni-klu.ac.at, Stanis³aw <chair(a)ecis2002.univ.gda.pl> an pro-IT-Verteiler ------------------- Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, vom Chairman der ECIS'2002 (Stanislaw Wrycza) http://ecis2002.univ.gda.pl/ecis2002.html erreichte mich folgender "Hilferuf": "Till now we dont have any paper proposal from Austria, although taking into account Austrian contribution to IS field, I have expected at least several papers. I know that many scholars usually send their submissions 2-3 days before the Conference deadline but ECIS 2002 IPC members still have some time to support the most important Conference of the European IS scholars Therefore, I would like to ask you to encourage your Austrian colleagues, collaborators, Ph.D. students from your research and didactic teams to take into account sending the submission to the coming ECIS." Als PC-Mitglied kann ich diese Bitte nur unterstützen - also bitte die Schublade öffnen oder schnell noch etwas schreiben und/oder andere dazu auffordern .... Herzliche Grüße Heinrich C. Mayr -------------------------------------------------------

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Mobility and Wireless Access Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2001 00:44:25 -0200 From: "Mirela Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare" <mirela(a)newsite.com.br> To: <m.notare(a)computer.org> ***************************************************************** WWW 2002: Mobility and Wireless Access Track Alternate Track of 2002 International World Wide Web Conference May 7-11, 2002 Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Call for Papers --- Last Reminder URL: www2002.org ***************************************************************** www2002.org ***************************************************************** SCOPE The WWW is facing a phenomenal growth in mobile access devices, embedded internet systems, ad-hoc interaction and wireless networking as the key enablers for the next generation internet Technological progress in mobile communication, wireless appliances and the respective mobile services lets us hypothesize that the future embedded WWW will be a digital environment that is implicitly aware of the presence of users, sensitive, adaptive and responsive to user needs, habits and emotions and ubiquitously accessible, mostly via natural interaction. The Mobility and Wireless Access Track of WWW2002 solicits papers dealing with mobile computing and wireless access technologies that fertilate the evolution of a WWW that is based on seamless access, awareness, intelligence, and natural interaction. Seamless access refers to a situation in which we are surrounded by a multitude of wirelessly interconnected embedded systems, mostly invisible and hidden in the background of our workplace, home, or outdoor environment. Awareness refers to the ability of the system to recognise and localise objects as well as people and their intentions in a non-obtrusive and implicit way. Intelligence refers the ability of the digital environment to adapt itself to the people that live in it, learn from their behaviour, and possibly recognise intent and habit. Natural interaction finally refers to advanced modalities like natural speech- and gesture recognition, as well as speech-synthesis, which will allow to "operate" the WWW in a much more human-like communication style. CALL-FOR-PAPERS Technical papers (maximum 15 pages) describing original, previously unpublished, completed research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited on the following topics: Mobile/wireless computing architectures Integration of wired and wireless networks Mobile service management and delivery 3G and 4G technologies and network solutions Mobility and QoS management Self-configuration in ad-hoc networks Personal area networks Media access techniques and terminals Ubiquitous access and context computing Smart devices and smart spaces Sensors and actuators Pervasive/ubiquitous/wearable computing scenarios Positioning and tracking technologies Location-dependent/personalized wireless applications Security and privacy issues for mobile/wireless systems All papers will be refereed by the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. For any further details contact either Prof. Azzedine Boukerche (boukerche(a)cs.unt.edu) or Prof. Alois Ferscha (ferscha(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at). (Also see the conference website at www2002.org.)

CFP for the following tracks: Information Technology Management in Europe TRACK CHAIR: Dr. Kalle Kangas Email: kalle.kangas(a)tukkk.fi <mailto:kalle.kangas@tukkk.fi> , kalle.kangas(a)pori.tut.fi <mailto:kalle.kangas@pori.tut.fi> This track is intended to explore the opportunities that information and communication technologies offer in changing the way that organisations operate within Europe. Historically the potential has not been fully realised due to a variety of inhibiting factors. The recommended topics recognise both the need to operate as an integrated entity in Europe and the national forces that drive local responsiveness. Full CFP can be found at: <http://www.tukkk.fi/~kkangas> Information Technology in Ex-Communist & Transition Countries TRACK CHAIR: Dr. Kalle Kangas Email: kalle.kangas(a)tukkk.fi <mailto:kalle.kangas@tukkk.fi>, kalle.kangas(a)pori.tut.fi <mailto:kalle.kangas@pori.tut.fi> The massive amount of foreign direct investments to the Eastern Central-European and Baltic countries enabling novel technology and concepts of its use have helped those countries to reach a substantial level of IT knowledge already. However, this is not the case in the resource-rich Russia or in any of its eastern ex-Soviet neighbors. Although there might have been enough money to buy the technology, nobody has lent the helping hand to teach how to use it profitably. Full CFP can be found at: <http://www.tukkk.fi/~kkangas> 3) Mobile Computing & Commerce TRACK CHAIR: Jussi Puhakainen Email: jussi.puhakainen(a)tukkk.fi <mailto:jussi.puhakainen@tukkk.fi> TRACK DESCRIPTION: The increasing pressure of growing global competition, customer and shareholder demands, and the drastic evolution of digital technologies force companies into re-thinking their current business assumptions, practices, and processes. Internet-based Electronic Commerce (EC) and mobile business (MB) offer many possibilities to face these challenges, in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions and interactions. Also consumer-to-consumer (C2C) and consumer-to-business (C2B) solutions have emerged in both EC and MB, challenging traditional ways of doing business. Digital networks allow also new opportunities for mass customizing information, services and products. Totally new products and services are emerging as well as new ways of dealing with customers. This track will discuss the effects of EC and MB have on products, services, interacting with customers, intra-company processes as well as management and development of EC and MB.
