---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Special Issue - Benchmarking the Evaluation of Information System Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 18:06:53 +0100 From: Dr Zahir Irani <Zahir.Irani(a)brunel.ac.uk> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS ************************************** Benchmarking: An International Journal http://www.mcb.co.uk/bij.htm ************************************** Special Issue On Benchmarking the Evaluation of Information System ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS Benchmarking allows the analysis and improvement of key processes, supports value adding activities and improvements in performance. Benchmarking is based on assessing performance against identified best performances, and should be seen as a learning process to identify and implement improvements. In today's information based and expanding global economies, more organisations are realising the significance and role that a robust and responsive IS (Information Systems) infrastructure plays in achieving and maintaining competitive commercial advantage. The application of benchmarking to all areas of IS infrastructure is gaining importance as organisations strive to improve performance and maintain better standards. The ever changing and expanding world of IS means that for most organisations, IS benchmarking will be an ongoing activity for as long as they may exist. Papers are sought for a special issue on Benchmarking and Evaluation of Information Systems for the BIJ. Conceptual and theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and case studies focusing on the application of benchmarking in any area of IS are encouraged. Contributed papers may deal with but are not limited to: Approaches and strategies of implementing IS benchmarking Evaluation of IS during life-cycle . Benefit and Cost management Benchmarking tools and testing techniques Hardware and software performance IS Infrastructure management Total cost and benefit assessment Technology management Development in IS benchmarking research Communication structures in networked organisations. Submission guidelines and important dates ***************************************** Manuscripts should be between 4000-6000 words in length, with all contributions being subjected to a double-blind review process. There should be a separate title page giving the names and addresses of the authors. Manuscripts must be received by July 1st, 2001, and should follow the format of the BIJ (http://www.mcb.co.uk/bij.htm) Electronic submission is mandatory.

Wang (Northeastern University, USA) The 21st century is the age of Internet and World Wide Web. The Web revolutionizes the way we gather, process, and use information. At the same time, it also redefines the meanings and processes of business, commerce, marketing, finance, publishing, education, research, development, as well as other aspects of our daily life. Although individual Web-based information systems are constantly being deployed, advanced issues and techniques for developing and for benefiting from Web intelligence still remain to be systematically studied. Broadly speaking, Web Intelligence (WI) exploits AI and advanced information technology on the Web and Internet. It is the key and the most urgent research field of IT for business intelligence. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) is an international forum for researchers and practitioners (1) to present the state-of-the-art in the development of Web intelligence; (2) to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology; (3) to cross-fertilize ideas on the development of Web-based intelligent information systems among different domains. By idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying foundations and the enabling technologies of Web intelligence, WI-2001 is expected to stimulate the future development of new models, new methodologies, and new tools for building a variety of embodiments of Web-based intelligent information systems. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) is a high-quality, high-impact biennial conference series.
