At the core of this revolution is the ability to effectively and efficiently share and exchange information virtually with anyone anytime anywhere. Yet, it is very hard to keep up to date with the ever-increasing sophistication of the tools and techniques available at the dawn of the 21st century for building the future information society. Industrial, commercial, educational, and information society institutions and organizations whose activities rely more and more on information technology cannot afford to ignore the latest technological and infra-structural development and trends of the Internet. Business to consumer, business to business, and business to government transactions, business intelligence, decision support at every level of the enterprise are conducted competitively only when they tap into the information resources offered by the world wide web and when they leverage the latest tools and techniques available. IIWAS2001 aims to provide a forum for gathering, discussions, and exchange of ideas and information by researchers, students, and Web-related business people on the issues and challenges brought on by Internet technology for the intelligent integration of information. The conference technical sessions will be organized around four major themes: information integration systems, web engineering, e-commerce and m-commerce, and intelligent information retrieval.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Call for Papers: WEBH2001 Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2001 13:05:38 +0100 From: Ismail Khalil Ibrahim <ismail.khalil-ibrahim(a)SCCH.AT> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE WEBH2001 Call for Papers WEBH2001, First International Workshop on Electronic Business Hubs: XML, Metadata, Ontologies, and Business Knowledge on the Web In Conjunction with DEXA 2001 September 3-7 2001 Munich, Germany Invited talk: Dieter Fensel "Content Management: The cornerstone of successful B2B electronic commerce" Scope The new technologies that the Internet enables and its global deployment have made it the natural medium for electronic business and commerce. Recently, the focus of electronic business naturally moved from Business-to-Customer (B2C) to Business-to-Business (B2B) electronic marketplaces. The existing B2C e-commerce portals serve as a query service that present a combined hypertext catalog of goods from different companies. They lack flexibility and their functionality is quite poor as it is targeted to simple services such as the cataloguing and sales of books or CDs. The B2B marketplaces require a new infrastructure to manage more complex business processes and transacations. The marketplaces must be flexible enough to non-intrusively let players join and leave at their convenience; they must support the whole supply chain, facilitate negotiation and information exchange between the players; they must give the necessary security and privacy guarantees. Therefore one of the main challenges for the designers of the modern business to business electronic commerce infrastructures is to move the communication among business partners from the proprietary and inflexible Electronic Data Interchange solutions to effective and flexible Electronic Business Hubs. In this first workshop on Electronic Business Hubs we propose to focus on the role and potential of XML-based data representation and manipulation, the techniques for semantic enrichment of the business concepts, web-based business process representation techniques, and modern security and privacy techniques applied in the new infrastructure of the Electronic Business Hubs. The aim of the workshop is to gauge the state of the art in this domain, the future needs of the industries and techniques from the research side, to clarify the directions of future research. Topics We are calling for papers reporting original research results, industrial experience, or case studies.The topics of interest pertaining particularly to electronic business include, but are not limited to: * XML-based data models for product description(XML, XML schema, XML clones) * Business ontologies * Web-based models for business knowledge representation (RDF, semantic markup) * Methodology and tools for designing DTDs and XML schemas * Information integration techniques and aggregators * Tools and techniques for business and marketing intelligence on the Web * Convergence of XML and Database technology (queries, views, updates, data warehouses, etc.) * Convergence of XML and Decision support (visualization, expert systems and business rules, etc.) * Security and privacy with XML * B2B applications Submission Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper before March 9, 2001 to Mong Li Lee at leeml(a)comp.nus.edu.sg. All submissions must be written in English and not exceed 5000 words with two columns in A4 format. The format of the electronic copy can be Postscript, Word, or PDF. You will find the detailed instructions from IEEE at: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm Proceedings All papers selected for this workshop will be peer-reviewed and will be published by IEEE in a volume of proceedings of the DEXA 2001 workshops.

ROPNET-2001 REPRESENTATIONS AND OPERATORS FOR NETWORK PROBLEMS Bird-of-a-feather Workshop at the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference 2001 ( GECCO-2001 ) San Francisco, California, July 7 - 11, 2001 (Saturday - Wednesday) http://www.isgec.org/GECCO-2001/ IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: March 12, 2001 Decisions will be mailed by: April 5, 2001 Submissions of camera-ready papers: April 20, 2001 Presentation: July 7, 2001 WORKSHOP SUMMARY Finding good solutions for network design problems is important in many fields such as telecommunications, computer, backbone access, transportation and distribution networks. Over the last years genetic algorithms have been applied with success to a wide variety of these different problems. One of the major design issues is how the network could be represented as an artificial chromosome and what kind of operators could be defined on the chromosome. The workshop is intended to give an overview over the existing approaches and to discuss various representations and operators in the context of genetic and evolutionary computation. It should compare theoretical properties and empirical performance characteristics of different representations and operators and try to find explanations for performance differences of a genetic algorithm. The workshop will be focused on representations and operators for network problems, but it welcomes interesting contributions to encoding issues that are meaningful for network representations. PARTICIPATION Presentations will be selected according to the submitted 10-page papers which will be reviewed by at least two members of the international program committee. Accepted papers will be available in electronic form before the workshop. Abbreviated versions of the papers will be later published in the workshop proceedings. The length of each paper will be determined by the number of accepted papers.

Fwd: Special Issue of Management Science on E-business: Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Special Issue of Management Science on E-business: Call for Papers Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 23:52:14 -0500 From: Ramayya Krishnan <rk2x(a)ANDREW.CMU.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE OF Management Science ON E-BUSINESS Proposals for papers due by APRIL 1 2001 A. Geoffrion and R. Krishnan, Co-Editors As everyone knows by now, few organizations will long flourish without deliberately responding to the opportunities and threats brought by the digital economy. OR/MS has at least as much to offer in this new era as it did in decades past, but of course the problems are changing. The aim of this special issue of Management Science is to help OR/MS researchers recognize some of the most promising new research opportunities and understand the approaches most likely to be fruitful. Theme This issue will survey key OR/MS research areas relevant to e-business and report on innovative methodological applications in this domain. Types of Papers Sought The editors have just finished compiling a special issue of Interfaces on the applications and potential for OR/MS in the digital economy: see www.informs.org/ebiz/interfaces/ or the published issue (March-April 2001). As a result, they have identified application and technology areas in which OR/MS has a particularly bright immediate future, and these are the areas most favored for this special issue of Management Science: * Auction and e-market design * Customer relationship management (CRM) * Data mining * Display ordering of search results * Dynamic pricing & revenue management * Hybrid microeconomic/OR models * Personalization and recommendation technologies * Quality of service modeling for network infrastructure * Supply chain management This issue will consist of research-oriented reviews and surveys emphasizing OR/MS theory and technology. Actual applications that make novel use of OR/MS methodology will also be considered. Both types of contributions will demonstrate either the application or applicability of OR/MS theory and technology to real problems. Special Arrangements Accelerated publication schedule after all papers are finalized (aiming for mid 2002) Companion Website containing all accepted papers and related research materials Active promotion of both the special issue and its companion site Submissions Please submit a proposal, not an entire manuscript, to one or both editors by April 1, 2001. It should be specific about the ground to be covered, include a representative collection of references that would be covered, give the earliest realistic completion date for the full paper, and be no longer than a few pages. Prospective authors will be notified of accepted proposals by May 15, including a target date for completion of first drafts (probably about six months later). All manuscripts will be refereed, and the editors reserve the right to finally accept only those papers meeting a sufficiently high standard of excellence in a timely manner. Prof. Arthur M.

Fwd: Last Call for Chapters
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Last Call for Chapters Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 22:42:29 -0500 From: Namchul Shin <NShin(a)pace.edu> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR CHAPTERS Submission deadline March 31, 2001 Creating Business Value with Information Technology: Challenges and Solutions, A book edited by Namchul Shin, Pace University, USA Questions on the business value of information technology (IT), which have been raised by managers and researchers for the last decade, are not settled yet. Firms invest in IT in order to improve their business performance. However, some firms fail to improve their business performance while others succeed. The overall value of IT varies enormously from firm to firm. Computerization does not automatically create business value, but it is one essential component that should be coupled with organizational changes such as new strategies, new business processes, and new organizational structure. The critical question facing information systems (IS) managers is not "Does IT pay off?" but "How can we best use IT and related technologies?" However, little is known about successful strategies for creating business value with IT, what characteristics of firms create more value from IT, and what types of IT contribute to increase in business value. Previous studies have sought to document the relationship between IT investments and increases in business performance, but many of them have not focused on how to make computerization more effective. Furthermore, the question on the contribution of IT to firm profitability has even not been clearly answered yet, while some of the recent studies have found that, on average, IT is associated with increases in firm productivity. In their MIS Quarterly article (1996), Hitt and Brynjolfsson stated, "Productive IT can facilitate higher business profitability but is neither necessary nor sufficient Managers seeking higher profits should look beyond productivity to focus on how IT can address other strategic levers such as product position, quality, or customer service." In the e-business era, IT alone does not bring success. Firms, which do not make appropriate organizational changes and/or develop appropriate business strategies, may fail to take full advantage of IT capabilities. To gain competitive advantage, corporate managers should also view IT as an "enabler" for organizational changes. They must also understand how IT creates both tangible (e.g., revenue and profits) and intangible (e.g., quality, responsiveness, coordination, and customer service) business values. This book aims to solicit the studies that yield significant new insights into the business value of IT. This book is geared toward both academics and practitioners. Thus, the studies should provide practical implications as well as theoretical (and/or empirical) contributions. Emphasis is given to both rigorous empirical studies and theoretical studies that provide new insights. Possible topics include but are not limited to: Strategies for creating IT business value Conceptual frameworks/models of IT business value Value achieved from strategic alignment of IT Cost reduction from IT Competitive impacts of IT Intangible values of IT Productivity/profitability improvement from IT The business value of enterprise systems Creating value from e-business Information economics Industry impacts Effective or ineffective users of IT Distribution of benefits across firms IT, organizational changes and associated firm characteristics, and business value The link between tangible and intangible values achieved from IT Resource-based approach to IT investment SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before March 31, 2001, a 2-5 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by May 15, 2001 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by September 15, 2001. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a blind review basis. The book is scheduled to be published by Idea Group Publishing in Fall 2002.
