From: HACKNEY R DR <R.Hackney(a)MMU.AC.UK>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
CALL FOR PAPERS
Information Technology & Management (special issue)
Strategic Planning for E-Commerce Systems (SPECS):
value returns and customer alliances
Important Dates:
Paper Submission (email in Word) October 5, 2001
Notification of Acceptance: December 14, 2001
Papers in Final Form Due: February 15, 2002
Target Publication Date: Spring 2003
Author Guidelines:
<http://www.wkap.nl/kaphtml.htm/IFA1385-951X>
Submissions to <r.hackney(a)mmu.ac.uk>
Theme:
There is clearly a great amount of interest in the inter-relationship
between e-commerce and approaches to strategic planning. This special
issue of IT&M seeks research papers which consider the critical
issues relating to this theme (SPECS). The guest editors would
particularly welcome papers which include empirical evidence of
research paradigms and their impact upon organisations.
There is currently little consensus with regard to the approach which
should be used to achieve strategic congruence and indeed some
scepticism that there is a universal "best" planning approach
(Hackney, 1996; Yetton, 1997; Burn, 1997; Sauer & Burn, 1997; Hackney
et al, 1999). These researchers suggest that it is inappropriate to
assume that strategic alignment will automatically improve the chances
of IS effectiveness and improved organisational performance The
phenomenal growth of e-commerce has now placed the focus clearly on
IT-intensive value innovation (El Sawy et al, 1999) and evaluation of
value returns (Farbey et al, 1999). The lack of empirical evidence, in
particular, in supporting such return calls into question the original
planning processes. This suggests a new paradigm is required for
e-commerce systems recognising the value of implementation experience
and its incorporation into all strategic planning activities within
the organisation.

Workshop der Informatik 2001
Gemeinsame Jahrestagung der GI und OCG,
Wien, 26.09.2001 bis 28.09.2001
Application Hosting - Grundtechniken und Anwendungen
Organisation: Michael Hoding (Otto-von-Guericke-Universitat Magdeburg)
E-Mail:
hoeding(a)iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de
"Application Hosting" oder "Application Service Providing" ist ein
aktuelles Thema, das Informatiker in Praxis und Wissenschaft gleicherma?en
fordert.
Unternehmenskritische
Anwendungen stellen hohe Anforderungen an Verfugbarkeit, Datensicherheit
und Performance.
Hierfur bieten Rechenzentren mit redundant ausgelegten und skalierbaren
Systemen sowie einem gut organisiertem Personalstamm eine wichtige
Plattform. Allerdings ist der Betrieb eines Rechenzentrums sehr aufwendig
und vielen klein- und mittelstandischen Unternehmen nicht moglich. Ausweg
bietet hierfur die Nutzung der Dienste eines Drittanbieters, der als
"Application Services Provider" den Rechenzentrumsbetrieb fur das
Unternehmen in qualifizierter Art und Weise ubernimmt. Die Nutzung einer
solchen Losung ist durch die in den letzten Jahren allgemein zur Verfugung
stehenden breitbandigen Netze moglich geworden. Uber schnelle
Kommunikationsinfrastrukturen lassen sich ergonomische graphische
Benutzerschnittstellen auch im WAN betreiben.
Ziel des Workshops ist es, Praktiker und Wissenschaftler zu versammeln, um
gemeinsam eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme zum Betrieb moderner
Application-Hosting-Losungen aus Sicht von Technik, Wissenschaft und
Anwendung durchzufuhren. Hierbei sind Ergebnisse verschiedenen
Informatikgebiete hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit zu diskutieren.
Weiterhin konnen Praxisprojekte
Impulse fur die Forschung geben bzw. Forschungsideen fundieren helfen.
In diesem Sinne wird die
Einreichung von Beitragen zu den folgenden Fragestellungen gewunscht:
Grundlagen und Techniken
Lokale Netze, Weitverkehrsnetze
Speicherlosungen, RAID-System-Einsatz, Datenreplikation Datenbanksysteme,
Datenbankintegration, Datenbankfoderation Betriebswirtschaftliche
Standardsoftware Service Level Agreements, Rechtliche Grundlagen von ASP
Anwendungsbetreuung (Application Management)
Simulation und Modellierung zur Planung von
Konfigurationsalternativen
Anwendungsstudien
Aufbau von Application-Hosting-Plattformen
Rechenzentrumsbetrieb, Betreiberkonzepte
Internettechniken und Application Hosting
Projektbeschreibungen, Erfahrungsberichte
Beitrage konnen in Englisch oder Deutsch verfasst sein und sollten einen
Umfang von maximal 6 Seiten nicht uberschreiten. Sie sind als PS oder PDF
bitte per E-Mail an: hoeding(a)iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de zu senden.
Die Einreichung von Beitragen bis 26. Mai 2001
Benachrichtigung uber die Annahme ab 1. Juli 2001
Einreichung der Endfassungen bis 2. August 2001

"E-Commerce: Systemunterstuetzung fuer den Umgang mit Daten und
Prozessen in vernetzten Anwendungsumgebungen (ECDPvA)"
eintaegig am 27. September 2001
Workshop der GI-Fachgruppe Datenbanken (FG 2.5.1)
im Rahmen der Informatik 2001
Gemeinsame Jahrestagung der GI und OCG
Wien, 26.-28. September 2001
In den letzten Jahren haben sich der "B2B-" und der "B2C-"E-Commerce
zu sowohl fuer die Praxis als auch fuer die Forschung hochaktuellen
Themen entwickelt. Allerdings sind dabei immer noch viele Ansaetze
verbesserungswuerdig: So muessen z.B. fuer Unternehmen in einer
vernetzen Welt Daten und Informationen auf der Basis gemeinsamer
Geschaeftsmodelle schnell, korrekt, zuverlaessig und sicher sowohl von
Kooperationspartnern als auch von Kunden von fast beliebigen Orten aus
angefragt, analysiert, weitergeleitet und zueinander in Beziehung
gesetzt werden. Typische Geschaeftsprozesse umfassen heute oft
heterogene Dienste und (Teil-) ablaeufe an verschiedenen Orten und in
ganz unterschiedlichen Zusammenhaengen - und sollen doch moeglichst
einheitlich von geeigneten Systemen abgebildet und unterstuetzt
werden.
Um das in realistischen Umgebungen zu ermoeglichen, werden sowohl die
technische Kompetenz der Informatik (von der Modellierung bis hin zu
Systemintegration) als auch geeignetes Wissen der jeweiligen
Anwendungsdomaemen benoetigt.
Ziel dieses Workshops ist es deshalb, in moeglichst
interdisziplinaerer Form Technologien, Methoden, Techniken und
Werkzeuge fuer den E-Commerce unter besonderer Beruecksichtigung der
Behandlung von Daten, Informationen und Prozessen in einer verteilten
Welt zusammenzubringen. Von Interesse sind hierbei insbesondere
neuartige Vorschlaege zur Anpassung und Integration von herkoemmlichen
Technologien wie z.B. Datenbanken und verteilten Systemen an konkrete
Erfordernisse der Anwendungsdomaene - ebenso wie die Entwicklung
neuerer Technologien wie z.B. XML.
Themen des Workshops
--------------------
Themen der folgenden - nicht ausschliesslichen - Liste mit Bezug zum
globalen Thema koennten in einzureichenden Beitraegen behandelt
werden:
Architekturen, Realisierungskonzepte und Frameworks fuer E-Business

September 16, 2001 Workshop at the ECSCW Conference in Bonn
Participatory Design (PD) is a set of diverse ways of thinking,
planning, and acting by means of which people make their work,
technologies, and social institutions more responsive to human needs.
Since 1990, the Participatory Design conferences have brought together a
multidisciplinary and international group of researchers, designers,
practitioners, users and managers. Even though this community has made
significant contributions to the enhancement of democracy and workers'
quality of life, a great deal remains to be done. The socio-technical
design of digital environments is a dynamic project based on the social
inclusion and active participation of the users.
In this workshop we will focus on new challenges and possible
solutions. Organizations, work practices and collaborative structures -
at the immediate interpersonal level as well as at the societal level -
have undergone significant changes. New collaborative practices
(including design practices), structures and technologies are required.
One important goal of PD has been to bridge the gap between design
and use. In the past it seemed that design professionals had to change
their attitudes and practice in favor of more inclusion. Currently, PD
seems to have become widely accepted by designers, and the challenges to
a successful PD practice are rather posed by trends on a superordinate
level:
- Technological trends: shorter innovation cycles of hardware and
software reduce the time for thorough development. Designing systems
often means to adapt existing systems to organizational goals.
- Organizational trends: working relationships and cooperative settings
have become more transient; the dimensions of time, location and spatial
extension have lost significance.
- Post-industrial trends: networked formations have replaced fordistic
structures; the traditional meaning of the "poles" of capital and labor
cannot grasp the fragmented interests and relations of power; the
influence of unions and their members as stakeholders for the users in
design has dramatically decreased.
- Social trends: individuals have become focal points for a multiplicity
of interests, tasks and activities in a process of forced
individualization; this reduces the identification of users with a
specific task or enterprise.
- Trends towards new media spaces: with the possibilities provided by
new media new settings and communities have evolved; areas of activity -
like work, leisure, political activism and education - have become less
separated than they used to be; the new communities of media users and
their communicative and collaborative practices require new methods and
tools for participation.
These trends are new challenges for PD in a double sense: on the
one hand they suggest sticking to old role patterns for the sake of
technological accuracy, organizational effectiveness or individual
satisfaction; on the other hand they set a new stage for participatively
integrating a variety of use and design perspectives. In any case, all
this has enhanced the freedom to (re-) design work settings and
collaborative digital environments.
Currently the focus of analysis has shifted from the present to the
future: from detecting or identifying an existing work practice to
creating or evoking future work practices. This requires new methods and
tools. The development of computer applications appropriately supporting
the - individual and collaborative - work of the future requires users
and designers to extensively articulate, communicate and negotiate their
goals, objectives and especially future realities. A major task for PD
will be to provide the respective methods and procedures.
Workshop content and organization
The focus of this workshop will be on exploring and discussing key
questions for Participatory Design of collaborative systems posed by the
recent transformation of work.
Before the workshop takes place all written statements of the
participants will be made available to the participants in a shared
workspace. After the workshop the statements and discussion results will
be available to the public.
According to the topics of the written statements the workshop
organizers will divide the plenary into smaller groups during the
morning session which will focus on special topics on a more detailed
level. In the afternoon session we will integrate the results into a
more general perspective. Selected persons will present their ideas,
concepts and results for fostering discussion.
Participation requirements
All participants need to submit a written statement (1-3 pages) on
Participatory Design of collaborative systems in the face of new
challenges. Focus might be on aspects like the following:
- Theoretical concepts about changing realities in work practice and
design
- Possible PD strategies in the face of these challenges
- New roles for users and designers
- Empirical findings from practical work (case studies etc.)
- New approaches, techniques and tools for evoking the future of work
practice
- Reports on projects and experiences
