Fwd: Special Issue on "Improving IT Evaluation Practices in the E-busi ness age"
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Mar '01

14 Mar '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Special Issue on "Improving IT Evaluation Practices in the E-busi ness age" Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 16:33:46 +0100 From: "Renkema, TJW (Theo-Jan)" <T.J.W.Renkema(a)RN.RABOBANK.NL> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of the The Electronic Journal of Information Systems Evaluation on "Improving IT Evaluation Practices in the E-business age" PURPOSES OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE Throughout the last decades, information technology (IT) has been permeating virtually every part of modern society. It has even been suggested that this marks a digital revolution which will have far reaching and profound consequences, perhaps even more than the well-known industrial revolution.The notion of E-business has been introduced to illustrate the contribution of the next Web and Internet-based generation of IT to increased levels of productivity and IT business value In the present E-business age it seems we are only at the start of a radical digitalization of business activities, which will impact on practically every organization. Today, long-term and capital-intensive business investments are made in order to improve effectiveness, to gain and sustain competitive advantage and to transform entire business processes. Nowadays, it is not so much the question whether to invest in IT and the new E-business, but more the question of how and where to invest in order to get maximum business value and to increase return on investment. The increased importance of IT and E-business has caused that in many firms these type of investments claim a major and increasing share of the available financial resources. The value for money to be obtained from investments, however, is far from guaranteed. IT investments have repeatedly been the subject of disappointed expecta-tions and their evaluations raise many questions. Over the years, a myriad of methodologies has been suggested to overcome difficulties with the standard finance-based and accounting techniques that are not able to cope with the intangible nature of most IT investments. These methods have not been implemented widely in evaluation practice, despite their conceptually sound potential. The challenge of evaluation research lies not in developing yet another method, but to find a better match between methods and practice. The purpose of the special issue of the journal is to publish insightful papers on organizational and managerial issues of practical IT evaluation issues in the present E-business age. The journal publishes work in the categories described below. * Qualitative or quantitative research papers, empirical or theoretical in nature and can discuss completed research findings or work in progress. * Case studies are welcomed illustrating practise in the field of information systems evaluation. * View points are less academically rigorous articles usually in areas of controversy which will fuel some interesting debate. * Anyone who attends a conference or reads a book that they feel contributes to the area of Information Systems Evaluation is encouraged to submit a review for publication. Aims and Scope of the Journal The Electronic Journal of Information Systems Evaluation is intended to provide critical perspectives on topics relevant to Information Systems Evaluation, with an emphasis on the organisational and management implications. Through its publication the journal aims to contribute to the development of theory and practice. The journal will accept any academically robust paper that contributes to the area of Information Systems Evaluation. The (special) editor is happy to discuss contributions before submission. Contributions and Dates Those wishing to make a submission should transmit one copy, preferably in Microsoft Word, by e-mail to the Special Issue Editor at t.j.w.renkema(a)rn.rabobank.nl Submissions should not be longer than 5,000 words. The special issue of the journal will be published on 1 October and submissions are welcomed as soon as possible. With kind regards, Dr. Theo J.W.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: ACM SAC'02 -- Last Call for Track Proposals Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 11:41:04 +0200 From: George Angelos Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE (Sincere apologies if you receive this call multiple times) 2002 ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING (SAC'02) Madrid, Spain, 10-13 March 2002 *** Last Call for Track Proposals *** For the past sixteen years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact and present their work. SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP); its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library. More information on SAC can be found at http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac . SAC is based on a flexible structure of mostly self-contained and self-managed tracks. Over the past years it has hosted tracks on a variety of topics such as Artificial Intelligence, BioInformatics, Computers in Education, Distributed Systems, Internet Technologies, Software Engineering, etc. For SAC'02, to be held in Spain between 11-13 of March 2002 (the 10th is dedicated for tutorials), the SAC organizers solicit proposals for hosting tracks. Perspective track chairs should submit an up to one page description for organizing a track, which should include at least the following items: 1) The proposed title for the track with a description of its aims, topics it will cover and rationale for having such a track in SAC. This rationale should refer to any related conference events that are held regularly and why the proposed track differs from them or complements them. The proposed track should not be over general but also not overly specialized, thus being able to attract a wide audience of people sharing similar interests. Proposals from industry are also welcomed. Despite its name, SAC also welcomes topics of mostly theoretical nature, provided there is clear practical potential in applying the results of such work. 2) A short description of the activities the track chair will undertake upon acceptance of the proposal, to disseminate the call-for-papers for his/her track, manage the review process and collect final materials from authors of accepted papers. (Specific guidelines to track chairs regarding these issues will also be provided.) 3) A short CV of the perspective track chair(s) with reference to research interests and publication record directly related to the themes of the proposed track, and any previous experience of involvement in the organization of similar events (in the interest of brevity, reference to a personal web page where such information can be found will be welcomed). All proposals will be reviewed by the Conference and Program Chairs with respect to the above criteria. The Chairs reserve the right to: (1) accept a proposal as is, (2) recommend merging of similar proposals with a considerable overlap in the topics addressed (in this case the track chairs of the different proposals will be asked to form a single chair), (3) reject a proposal. Upon acceptance of a proposal, the track chairs will be notified of their responsibilities in managing the affairs of their tracks, as these are defined by SAC itself but also ACM. The Chairs reserve the right to cancel at any time a track, if these responsibilities are not addressed adequately by its track chair(s). Please submit your proposal electronically and in any acceptable readable form to: George A. Papadopoulos Department of Computer Science University of Cyprus E-Mail: george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy IMPORTANT DATES 20 March 2001: Submission of track proposals 15 April 2001: Notification of acceptance/rejection 15 May 2001: Call-For-Papers for accepted tracks 1 Sept 2001: Submission of papers and tutorial proposals 15 Oct 2001: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection 1 Nov 2001: Camera-Ready copies of accepted papers 10-13 March 2002: SAC'02 takes place ___________________________________________________________________ | The Communications of AIS and The Journal of AIS are electronic | publications sponsored by the Association for Information Systems | JAIS: http://jais.aisnet.org/ - CAIS: http://cais.aisnet.org/ |----------------------- ISWorld Net Footer ------------------------ | Need help with ISWorld? -> http://isds.bus.lsu.edu/cvoc/isworld/ | If you can't find an answer contact isworld_manager(a)cornell.edu |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: RDF, Query Languages and XML DevCon Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 14:26:22 -0500 From: "B.K. DeLong" <bkdelong(a)pobox.com> To: www-rdf-interest(a)w3.org Hi all - It was great meeting everyone at the W3C Plenary. I wanted to point out two talks relevant to RDF being given at the XML DevCon Spring 2001 conference (http://www.xmldevcon2001.com) in NYC next month - April 8-11 at the New York Marriott Marquis hotel: Introduction to RDF: Dr. Jonathan Borden will offer a practical introduction to RDF, covering a schema for RDF representation of healthcare information, and techniques to RDF enable general XML information. 4/9/2001, 6:45 - 8:15pm ET. http://www.xmldevcon2001.com/NY/html/session.php?code=N14 Combining RDF and XPath to Automate Web Services: Uche Ogbuji describes a method of using XPath to establish rules for extracting RDF data from general XML documents, and using the experimental RDF Inference Language (RIL) to express rules for automating processing of the data once the RDF model has been populated. 4/11/2001, 9:20 - 10:35am ET. http://www.xmldevcon2001.com/NY/html/session.php?code=W4 I remember quite a few people at the plenary and IG meeting were interested in XQuery and related query language development. This morning, Camelot Communications put out a release highlighting *4* sessions relevant to Query Languages at the same show: http://www.zotgroup.com/press/2001/0312.html There's a few other talks that touch upon schemas, Web services, SQL and the like that may also be of interest. The full list of sessions is here: http://www.xmldevcon2001.com/NY/html/conference.php I was surprised there weren't more Semantic Web related talks. There is a CFP out for both the London and San Jose shows this coming October. http://www.xmldevcon2001.com/NY/html/callfall.html Hopefully we'll start seeing more discussion and talks on RSS/RDF/RQL at future shows. -- B.K.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: Co-Design of Business and IT Systems Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 20:46:14 -0500 From: Ram Ramesh <rramesh(a)ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Call for papers - special issue of "Information Systems Frontiers" www.som.buffalo.edu/isinterface/Isfrontiers (published by Kluwer) Special issue: Co-Design of Business and IT Systems Guest Editors: Prof. Kecheng Liu, Staffordshire University, UK, k.liu(a)staffs.ac.uk Prof. Keith Bennett, Durham University, UK, keith.bennett(a)durham.ac.uk Dr. Lily Sun, Staffordshire University, UK, l.sun(a)staffs.ac.uk FOCUS: Organisations are information systems within which information is created, stored, and processed for communication and coordination and for achieving the organisational objectives. Such systems may often involve deployment of information technology. This view of information systems and business organisations relates to much research work in organisational semiotics, language as action, human-computer communication, business process modelling, organisational studies and information systems analysis and design. Researchers, educators and practitioners recognise that IT systems must meet the business requirements, support the business processes, and adapt to changes of business practices. There are many factors that determine the success or failure of an information system. An important issue of research is how to co-design business and IT systems to fit one another, and to enable the information systems evolving with the changes of business requirements. Work on the themes proposed for the special issue has been carried out by several research communities, for example, organisational semiotics, language as action and organisational modelling, and systems engineering for business change (SEBPC). The last one, SEBPC, is a research programme funded by the UK government, with identified aims to investigate IT systems and their (re-) engineering to support business objectives and processes. TYPES OF PAPERS SOUGHT: The papers for this special issue should have not been published elsewhere; and all submissions will be reviewed by referees anonymously. The publication will be mainly research papers, with experience and case studies in industry. Therefore there will be interest from both academia (including research and education) and industry. SUGGESTED TOPICS: -- Organisations as information and communication systems -- Roles and functions of sign, information and communication in business organisations -- Information systems - functions, components and architecture in changing organisations -- Relationship between technical and business systems -- Human aspects of IT and technical aspects of organisations -- Information, communications, meaning and norms in systems design -- Modelling business processes and information systems -- Co-design of business and IT systems -- Information systems evolution towards e-business -- Features, criteria and requirements for evolving information systems -- Legacy systems in changing business environment -- Requirements for information systems (re-)engineering -- Systems design strategies -- Methods and techniques for co-design of information systems PAPER SUBMISSION: We intend to have the special issue published in mid 2002. The potential authors are welcome to consult editors for advice at any stage before their formal submission. To enable the anonymous review, papers submitted should have a separate title page to include only the article title, author name(s), institute, and post and email addresses. The rest will contain an abstract, 4-10 keywords, and the paper itself. Authors of accepted papers will be sent authoring guidelines at a later stage. All paper submissions should reach the guest editor by 1 August 2001. Paper submissions should be sent (as attachments of Word or postscript files) by email to the editor at this email address: l.sun(a)staffs.ac.uk.
